What's wrong with these two guys? Why do they look like water ghosts?
Before this, He Xiuyuan hadn't extracted any memories about ghosts or immortals from his predecessor's memories!
This world should not have gods, immortals, or ghosts!
But just now, He Xiuyuan looked down and saw that dead fish eye, he definitely couldn't have been mistaken, and there was Wu Yun in front of him.
They had already walked such a long distance, no matter how much water dripped from the other person's body, it couldn't still be dripping now, could it?
Thinking of this, He Xiuyuan couldn't help but shiver all over.
At this moment, Wu Yun seemed to sense something as well, and turned his head to glance at He Xiuyuan.
As Wu Yun looked at He Xiuyuan, a strange expression flashed across his face.
"Scholar, do you have any last words you wish to say?"
Wu Yun stared intently at He Xiuyuan, a smile playing on the corners of his lips, "You found out, didn't you?"
He Xiuyuan's body trembled upon hearing this; after the other party said that, He Xiuyuan was almost certain that the other party was indeed a true water ghost.
In an instant, He Xiuyuan only felt his scalp tingle.
"Seeing that you're also a scholar, why make things difficult for me? Didn't you just try to harm me a few days ago?"
He Xiuyuan's face was filled with an ugly expression at this moment, and he turned his head to look. They were already several meters away from the shore.
Not to mention that He Xiuyuan couldn't swim, even if he could, it would be wishful thinking to outswim this water ghost in the water.
This water ghost is already like this; it probably has some Spell on him.
At present, his only option seemed to be to bargain with Wu Yun in front of him, to see if he could be merciful and let him go.
And Wu Yun, listening to He Xiuyuan's words, his expression stiffened slightly, but he quickly recovered, and the fierce expression on his face softened a bit.
"Scholar, it's not that I want to harm you, but it's truly out of necessity. If we don't find you as a substitute, we won't be able to Reincarnation in the future."
Saying that, Wu Yun also sighed and shook his head, pushing the bamboo pole forward.
He Xiuyuan, however, was overjoyed upon hearing this. Looking at Wu Yun, it was clear that he had been somewhat persuaded.
If he could persuade the other party, perhaps he still had a chance to be saved.
Thinking of this, He Xiuyuan quickly continued, "You have already harmed me once before; do you still want to harm me a second time?"
This time, the other party directly came to his doorstep, plus his predecessor had just drowned once.
There's no need to think much to know that the previous drowning was also at the hands of the other party.
Wu Yun was stunned upon hearing He Xiuyuan's words, then his heart tightened.
When they harmed He Xiuyuan last time, they used a Spell, so He Xiuyuan should not have known.
The reason they did that was to prevent anyone from being saved. If a saved person saw them and later told the local people, and the people learned that there were water ghosts in the water.
In that case, it would be as difficult as ascending to Heaven for them to find a substitute in the future.
However, at this moment, He Xiuyuan actually knew that they were the ones who did it!
Since the other party knew, why did he still follow them onto the boat?
Furthermore, He Xiuyuan had clearly drowned before; they were almost certain of this. How did He Xiuyuan come back to life?
Thinking of this, Wu Yun only felt that He Xiuyuan seemed even more bizarre than them, the water ghosts.
After all, how could someone who had clearly died come back to life?
Could it be that during the few days he was dead, he encountered some Expert who brought him back to life?
Or did the other party himself possess some kind of feigned death technique?
But such a technique couldn't be possessed by a mere mortal, could it?
The two water ghosts were not to be trifled with and could not be easily deceived.
"You were truly dead at that time?"
As if something came to mind, Wu Yun stared at He Xiuyuan and urgently asked.
He was wondering if He Xiuyuan was really dead.
If he was truly dead, how did he manage to come back to life?
He Xiuyuan saw the other party looking at him with some uncertainty, feeling that the other party was somewhat fooled by him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I was indeed dead at that time, and I only came back to life due to some reasons."
"What did you say? You were really dead at that time?"
Hearing He Xiuyuan's reply, the water ghost immediately looked uncertain, his gaze fixed on He Xiuyuan.
Coming back from the dead, such a method must be a Xianxia method, right?
If they had such a method, would they still need to be water ghosts in this river?
Thinking of this, Wu Yun stared intently at He Xiuyuan, asking with hope, "How did you do it?"
If he could learn this, would he also be able to become human again?
However, He Xiuyuan's breath hitched upon hearing this. How did he do it?
How could he know that?
He had only Transmigration.
But if he didn't give the other party an answer now, He Xiuyuan would likely not be able to leave here.
Thinking of this, He Xiuyuan recalled some Xianxia stories he had seen in his previous life, and immediately fabricated a story, "To achieve this, one needs at least a complete Physical Body."
The water ghost in front of him seemed to have a body, but after his recent observation, He Xiuyuan was almost certain that this was not a real body.
A real body, how could it constantly drip water like that?
Indeed, upon hearing He Xiuyuan's words, Wu Yun was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed. Just as He Xiuyuan had said, his body was already ruined.
The body He Xiuyuan saw now was actually just an illusion.
If that were the case, it would be impossible for him to come back to life.
"What's wrong with you? Why haven't you flipped the bamboo raft yet?"
Just then, ripples appeared on the water nearby. Ding Maoqin emerged from the water and glared at Wu Yun, demanding.
Wu Yun was stunned upon hearing this, then he came back to his senses, looking at He Xiuyuan helplessly, "Your Excellency, I also have no choice. As the saying goes, 'Every man for himself, or Heaven and Earth will destroy him.'"
"Now, in order for us to Reincarnation as humans, we had no choice but to find you as a substitute. This is also in accordance with the Heavenly Dao. I apologize."
Having said that, Wu Yun prepared to directly overturn the bamboo raft. Although it was Wu Yun who was looking for a substitute this time, only after the other party found a substitute could it be his turn.
So helping him was also helping himself.
He Xiuyuan's expression changed instantly as he watched Wu Yun prepare to act. He did not want to die here again so soon after arriving in this world.
"'Every man for himself, or Heaven and Earth will destroy him' does not mean what you think it means, nor is it in accordance with the Heavenly Dao."
He Xiuyuan thought of this and quickly spoke.
Wu Yun was stunned upon hearing this, then his expression turned to one of surprise, "What did you say?"
This He Xiuyuan in front of him actually knows the will of the Heavenly Dao?
