I Can’t Be Sword God



63 Have you heard of the water Monkey?

Li Chu rolled his eyes speechlessly. neither. That’s what she looks like.

“Long?”

Wang longqi was stunned. This was beyond his knowledge.

“It’s the white fox from last time. The one you wanted to take home and raise.” Li Chu said.

“Oh!” Wang longqi suddenly understood,”it’s him, it was still on my body.”

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and a wretched smile suddenly appeared on his face.

she has already transformed, but for some reason, I have to take her in now. Li Chu explained and then glared at Wang longqi. what are you doing here? ”

“Hehe.” Wang longqi chuckled in embarrassment. I do have something important to talk to you about.

After a pause, he lowered his voice and asked, ” “Have you heard of water monkeys?”

“Water Monkey?”

Li Chu thought for a moment. This thing was very famous. Wherever there was water, there would be legends of water monkeys. But as for what its original form was, there were many different opinions.

Wang longqi looked at his expression and knew that he didn’t know, so he started to talk mysteriously.

“You know, my family has a seafood business. The fish and herbs that the fishermen bring back from the sea, as well as some other strange things, are all collected by our family’s shop.”

Li Chu nodded. Yuhang Town was close to the sea and had many water systems, so it had many fishing villages under its jurisdiction. The Wang clan had started off by collecting sea products. Although they had later branched out into many other businesses, they were still the main part of their business.

“In the easternmost part of Yuhang County, there is a wangyu village. They are the most seaside village in Yuhang County and are a little far from our town. Our family’s shop has been working with their village for many years, and we have a very close relationship.”

“Yesterday was the 15th. Our shop’s people went to collect the goods as usual, but we didn’t get anything this time. Of course, the waiter had to ask, but the villagers stammered and finally said something very shocking.”

their village is not big. There are only two big boats that can go out to sea to fish. Each boat has dozens of sailors, and they take turns to go out to sea.

the ship that went out to sea this time was fine when it left, but when it came back, it was full of water monkeys!

“What?” “A real water Monkey?” Li Chu frowned.

“Yes, it has the appearance of a monkey, but it’s covered in green scales. You can move on land, but you must soak in the water every few hours.”

“Was the sailor killed or did he become like this?” Li Chu asked.

Wang longqi said, ” it should be the sailor. You’ll know when you listen. Some of the villagers thought that it was some kind of demon, so they picked up their weapons and wanted to hit it. The water monkeys began to beg for mercy and gestured. Although he can’t speak human language, he can understand and knows the entire village.”

“There was only one person on that boat who could read, and he could still stand up and communicate with the villagers who wrote on the ground. He wrote down many things that only his family members knew, and we can confirm that these are the sailors on the ship.”

Turning people into spiritual monsters?

Li Chu muttered to himself. This was a strange thing.

after a long conversation, the villagers finally understood what happened to the people who went out to sea.

“They went out to sea to fish this time, but their harvest was very bad because most of the familiar routes were caught. Therefore, they decided to change their route slightly and returned with a full load. However, on the way back, we encountered a storm.”

“This storm is particularly fierce and lasting. After the rain, they found that their boat had been blown to a small island.”

“There’s a Palace on this Island!”

the sailors ‘food and water are almost exhausted, and they’ve been tormented by the storm until they’re exhausted. They want to go to the island to reorganize.

the owner of the palace welcomed them warmly, saying that he was a fallen noble. He moved all his property to this Island and built a paradise.

“He even prepared a sumptuous banquet and invited beautiful maids to dance for them. After eating and drinking to their heart’s content, they even asked their maidservants to serve them in bed. The maids were gentle and took the initiative to tease him.”

He shook his head with an ecstatic expression, as if he knew the details very well.

“These were all written by the water Monkey?” Li Chu asked, puzzled.

“Well, I just came up with this in my head.” I don’t think so. Wang longqi scratched his head and smiled. but the process should be similar.

“When they were about to leave the next day, they were still reluctant to part. The owner said he was willing to buy all the fish they caught at a high price, and the price was more than a hundred times higher than the actual price.”

so, they happily left the boat full of fish and went home with a lot of gold and silver.

“It’s still a good thing to stop here. However, something strange happened.”

“Not long after the ship left the island, a sailor turned into a Water Monkey! The rest of the sailors suddenly thought they had encountered a demon, but soon, none of them were spared and all of them became like this.”

the sailors were terrified, but they had no choice. They could only sail the boat back with this body and explain to the villagers.

because this matter is too evil, the villagers of hope fishing village don’t dare to disclose it to the outside world. They’re afraid that outsiders will think that there’s a group of demons in their village.

their original plan was to secretly go to the Hangzhou Prefecture to report to the people of Chaotian que, but they were worried that if the officials did not dare to go out to sea to find the island, they would not show any mercy and directly kill all the water monkeys on the boat. So, Qianqian is very conflicted.

my friend has heard about you. Hehe, I helped you promote it. Wang longqi patted his chest. so he told the villagers that there’s a little Daoist priest li in the town who’s very good at exorcising evil spirits. Maybe he could give it a try.

“The villagers were very happy, so I came back to tell them my plan. I think that you are indeed a bit better than the people of Chaotian que.”

Wang longqi looked at Li Chu eagerly.

Li Chu was a little hesitant. I don’t know what kind of evil spirit is in the unknown small overseas Island. In fact, I think it’s better to look for Chaotian que. After all, the immortal sect has a deep background and many experts. I’ve had some dealings with young lady Li, and they are not as cowardly as the people from the Yamen.”

He paused for a moment. Some words were not easy to say, but he understood.

Wang longqi muttered, seemingly unintentionally, ” “Although they turned into water monkeys, the boat of gold, silver, and jewelry they brought back are real. The villagers said that if someone could help them save these sailors, they would rather give these gold, silver, and jewelry as remuneration.”

let’s go! Li Chu held his hand. we can’t let the villagers suffer anymore!

“Hehe.” Wang longqi smiled,”okay, but there’s no hurry.” I’ll also go back to pack my luggage. After all, I might be staying for a few nights. I’ll come back to pick you up in four hours.”

“Alright,” he said. Li Chu nodded.

His luggage was very simple. It was a green Daoist robe with a white lining. As he wore this style of clothes all year round, it often caused the misunderstanding that the little Taoist never changed his clothes.

However, there were some advantages to this. He never had to consider what to wear when he went out.

He had just finished tidying up when he saw the Fox girl, little white, who had just returned from outside, rush in excitedly. master, I heard that you’re going out to exorcise evil spirits? ”

“Yup,”

“Let me go with you.” The Fox girl said gently.

“What?” Li Chu was stunned. what are you going to do? ”

The Fox girl slowly said,”there’s a lot I can do. I can help you with your chores, sleep with you, fight for you, chat with you, and even learn from humans to cook for you ..”

Li Chu raised his hand. wait a minute. Is there something strange in there? ”
