The woman ran away with her child in her arms.

The water ghost also ran away in shame.

Now there is no one who asks about the road.

Xu Ran had no way of determining how far he could teleport himself out by shrinking the ground into a magical power.

Standing by the river and was stunned for a while, Xu Ran turned around and walked towards the direction where the woman ran. She could go there, which means that there was closer to her residence.

He walked much faster than ordinary people. After a while, when he turned over a small wood, he caught up with the woman again. Her dress was still wet and tightly pressed against her body.

I just saved my life from the gate of hell, and caught a cold and became sick again, so I felt sorry for the child.

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Ran raised his hand and blew a light. After it fell on the woman, the mother and son's wet clothes instantly dried up.

The woman felt the change in her body and looked around. She saw the rich young man in elegant clothes and beautiful appearance behind her. She was catching up with her and was smiling at herself.

The woman covered her face with her hands, hugged the child tightly, and ran wildly, and didn't even bother to pick up the embroidered shoes when she ran away.

Xu Ran shook his head awkwardly, then suddenly turned around, looked at a big tree not far away, and smiled at the back of the tree, "Have you seen enough?"

In fact, he just discovered that a man with a fisherman was always peeking at the young woman.

If you follow good women in broad daylight, you will definitely have bad intentions.

Seeing the fisherman hiding behind the tree and having no intention of coming out, Xu Ran appeared silently behind him, grabbed his shoulder with his big hand, "Why don't you answer me?"

"Goddess!"

The fisherman jumped up in fear. After seeing it clearly, he sorted out his clothes and bowed respectfully, "Don't blame this immortal, I'm peeking at the mother and son, but there is no malice."

Xu Ran had a gloomy face, "What does that mean?"

If it weren't for the close look, the fisherman had a simple face and a simple look, which was not like a path of evil, and was an ordinary person without any cultivation, Xu Ran would not have given him any chance to explain.

"Supreme Immortal, listen to me," the fisherman calmed down and said hurriedly: "Who is surnamed Xu, who lives outside Shanzhou City. In addition to farming, he relies on fishing to supplement his family's income.

By chance, I met a friend, and we often drank together by the river at night.

Unexpectedly, he told me two days ago... he said that he was the water in the river... the water ghost, and told me that today a young woman would pass by the river, fall into the water and drown, becoming his substitute. Then his sins expired and he could escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

I was thinking about my friend's future and curious about this strange thing, so I hid it in the woods by the river early to wait. At noon, I saw a young woman walking towards me with a baby. As soon as she walked to the wooden bridge, a golden light fell from the sky, and the light disappeared, and you, the immortal, appeared.

The young woman happened to see you falling from the sky with golden light. Maybe she was afraid to run away, so she slipped under her feet and fell into the river."

Xu Ran: “…”

Fortunately, the woman was fine, otherwise my cause and effect would be too unfair. No wonder she escaped so miserably after seeing me...

He asked the fisherman again, "And what did you see?"

The fisherman said without hesitation: "The baby was raised by her head, raised her hands and kicked her feet and cried loudly. I really couldn't bear it and wanted to run over to save her.

But then I thought that she was here to replace my friend, so I stopped and didn't go to save me. Moreover, I was a little confused, afraid that you would assist my friend in getting a substitute, so I didn't dare to act rashly.

But unexpectedly, after a while, the young woman suddenly climbed up the river bank with wet all over, and walked away with the child in her arms. I followed her and wanted to see where she went. Unexpectedly, the immortal suddenly appeared again, used magical powers on the woman, and even found the person hiding behind the tree... This is what I have experienced in the past."

Xu Ran understood the process, but he didn't expect to try his magical powers casually, but he was almost involved in this cause and effect.

I just don’t know if the woman fell into the water because I was frightened or was pulled down by a water ghost. I had known that I would have asked her just now.

After calming down his mind, Xu Ran's mind moved. The incident happened very familiar. In addition, the system showed that the water ghost was named Wang Liulang, so he guessed that he should enter the plot of the story "Wang Liulang" in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

The only variable is that oneself appears.

Maybe this is more than just a coincidence?

Then he said, "Tell me the process of acquaintance with the water ghost, maybe I can help him through this disaster."

The fisherman hurriedly said, "When fishing, there is a habit that every night, he will bring wine to the river, drinking and fishing..."

...

It turns out that every time the fisherman fished, he sprinkled some wine offerings on the ground and prayed: "The drowned ghosts in the river come and have a drink!"

Because of this, others can hardly catch anything when fishing here, only the fish he beats are full of baskets.

One night, the fisherman was drinking by himself, and a young man was wandering beside him and refused to go. The fisherman invited him to drink with him, but the man did not refuse and started drinking with him readily.

As a result, he didn't catch a fish all night, and the fisherman was very disappointed. The man stood up and said to go downstream to drive fish for him, and then left in a flash.

After a while, he returned and said that many fish had arrived. Sure enough, the fisherman heard the sound of fish swimming in the river and hitting the water.

Sprinkle the fishing nets and catch several fish, each of which is more than a foot long.

He was very happy and hurriedly thanked the boy, and was willing to buy wine with the money from selling fish, and then invite the man to drink.

The two became familiar with each other. The man called himself Wang Liulang and agreed to drink by the river every night. After drinking, Wang Liulang would go downstream to drive fish for the fisherman.

After half a year of this life, Wang Liulang told the fisherman that he was actually a water ghost. He loved drinking the most during his lifetime. He drowned here after being drunk for many years.

The reason why fishermen caught far more fish than others in the past was that he was secretly helping to drive them away, in order to repay the fishermen's love for the wine and drinks sacrifice.

Wang Liulang also told the fisherman that he was full of sin and could catch a substitute.

Then today's scene happened.

...

After hearing the fisherman's story, Xu Ran was even more sure that this was the story of "Wang Liulang".

Then he said, "Actually, you don't have to be sad. The reason why that woman was not drowned was not because I cast a spell, nor because she swam ashore by herself. It was because your friend named Wang Liulang sent her to the shore with her. I saw it clearly and there was no falsehood."

"why is that?"

The fisherman looked disbelief, "How can he relieve his sins and become a human again?"

"Why is it a blessing to lose your horse?" Xu Ran really admired Wang Liulang and said, "Save a life, it has great merit. Moreover, there is a hungry baby in the woman's arms. I think God will mercy on Wang Liulang, and a ghost like him will be favored."

Because the scene of the arrival was too shocking, the fisherman always thought that Xu Ran was a god. Since the gods said so, Wang Liulang's future must be unmatched and his mood was immediately better.

He said happily: "When I drank with Liulang again tonight, I would listen to the words of the Supreme Immortal to him, so that he would be happy."

"Don't tell him these words."

After Xu Ran told the fisherman, he thought about it and said that according to the follow-up plot of Mr. Pu Songling, Wang Liulang was named a landlord by the Heavenly Court because of his merits and became a lower-level god.

The mountain god is also a lower-level god, and his strength is so terrifying!

Then the Landlord must be not much different, right?

Although they are all at the bottom, they are gods rewarded by the Heavenly Court. Faced with the monks and monsters in this world, it is a typical dimensionality reduction attack.

Since I have had the opportunity to meet me, why not get to know each other?

Xu Ran said, "I admire Wang Liulang's character very much. I am not as good as the wine shop tonight. What about me? If I can't write two words Xu, I will be considered my own family."

The fisherman agreed immediately.

The gods were willing to drink with me, and they were simply undesirable.

Miss me, Lao Xu, who was drinking and talking to me at the same table with the gods and the water ghosts, and it was enough to blow it all your life.

Knowing that he was not rich, Xu Ran took out a few pieces of broken silver and weighed it for about three or four taels. The amount was just right. He took too much out when he first met, which would scare the fisherman.

He handed it to him and said, "I am not familiar with the place here, so I'm sorry, I'll buy some wine and food."

"Okay," the fisherman was overjoyed and took the silver and said, "After it was dark today, we saw each other on the beach of the young woman falling into the water."

Watching the fisherman leave, Xu Ran calculated that this place was Shanzhou, about 230 miles away from Huashan. minus the distance he had previously flew away. With his current cultivation level, he could teleport out at most nearly 200 miles in a shrinking area.

With this data, he knew how to control the distance of shrinking to an inch according to his needs in the future.

Looking at the sky, it was about two or three hours before dark. Xu Ran planned to go to the woods and continue to brush the dungeons and upgrade.
