Chapter Seventy-One: Are You Also a Demon Slayer?
There is no detail in the jade slip, but it is said that a few elders went to explore, but they have not returned for a long time, presumably there must be fierce demons somewhere, and several elders are also fierce and auspicious!
The task rewards are quite rich, just by investigating, you can get 300,000 spirit stones, although Li Jihuang also has more than a million spirit stones in the storage ring, but who dislikes more spirit stones?
Although he didn't dare to guarantee that he could have the same cultivation as a few elders, he could use the Heavenly Demon Breath Concealment Dafa to hide his breath and change his breath, and with this method alone, he was sure to break through.
He hasn't used the body of the ancient god for so long, and when he reaches the Great Ghost Mountain Range, he can't beat it, and he can also escape with the strength of his physical body!
The reason why he didn't dare to reveal the body of the ancient god in front of everyone was because the body of the ancient god was like a demon, and there was no trace of justice at all, and he was afraid that he would be shouted and killed by the monks in the Canghai South Region!
This monk of the Canghai South Region is extremely fearless of life and death, and often descends demons to eliminate demons, and goes to the barren mountains and Daze to find demons and kill them!
If his ancient god's body is revealed, if it is made a big fuss by someone with a heart, he will have to be imprisoned and studied if he does not die!
Immediately, he took out the treasure ship obtained from the Heavenly Spirit Secret Realm experience, traveled thousands of miles a day, the speed was extremely fast, and in more than half a month, he came to the vicinity of the destination.
This going south is the forbidden land of death, the boundary between the human race and the demon domain, if you go south for sixty or seventy thousand miles, you can also reach the border of the demon domain.
But the forbidden land of death is full of dangers, among which the dissatisfied desolate monsters, great wilderness spirits, strange areas, ancient alien races, etc., if you want to set foot in it, you don't have enough strength, and it is no different from sending it to death.
Go to the west, is the legendary Western Desert wilderness, I heard that an ancient Buddha sits in the town, the holy Buddha has boundless power and vast magical powers.
When he came to a place 20,000 miles away from the Great Ghost Mountain Range, he didn't rush there immediately, but looked for people nearby, asked the people around him, and inquired about the situation.
But in this area, there are many fierce beasts, and many fierce beasts often appear, and many of them are pinched to death by him.
It stands to reason that this area is under the management of the Penghao Sect, perhaps too remote and dangerous, and he did not see the monks patrolling the Penghao Sect.
He searched for a long time, and finally found a small village near the river, the surroundings were quiet, there were no fierce beasts, there were only more than 300 households in this small village, the streets were deserted, and he found no one.
Li Jihuang walked for a while before he found a person, so he couldn't help but walk over and ask the people in the other village.
Then I learned that the annual river god sacrifice began again, and the whole village ran to the altar by the river to worship the god.
Seeing that the middle-aged man's eyes were red and he was overwhelmed with grief and indignation, Li Jihuang didn't ask much, and hurriedly rushed to the riverside.
When he arrived at the river, he saw nearly 1,000 people crowded against the river, kneeling and worshipping on the simple sacrificial platform, on which the fire was blazing, pigs, sheep, cattle and fish were placed, and a boy and a girl were tied to the platform and crying.
The villagers below, who were talking noisily, did not move forward to stop them, their eyes were full of a trace of numbness, and they seemed to be surprised by this matter.
On the altar, an old sacrificial god chattered, holding a torch, dancing an incomprehensible dance, and muttering words in his mouth.
Under the altar, several women and men were extremely depressed, and once wanted to rush to the altar to stop each other, but they were stopped by the fierce man beside them.
"The river god is on top, Yu borrows the land of Fengyao Village, the water of the Shenjiang River, the people are sent, the people are hoped, and the people are worshiped in front of the respect, to sacrifice!"
"The god of the river is blessed in all directions. The river god blesses, the people are healthy, the river god blesses, and the harmony is in all directions. The wind and rain are smooth, and the country is prosperous. All people return to their hearts and look at all nations. Blessed by the river gods, carefree. Worship in front of the honor, and the mind is panicked. Worship in front of the honor, and the mind is panicked. ”
“......”
The old priest finally knelt down and worshipped, and finally chanted the shrine that everyone couldn't understand, the light in his eyes flickered, and finally stood up: "The river god bless me Fengyao Village, the wind and rain are smooth......"
With that, he raised his torch and threw it into the wood fire in front of him.
Seeing this scene, Li Jihuang was surprised, and secretly tried to extinguish the fire, but suddenly a person rushed to the altar, and he stopped in confusion.
"Strange, why is it suddenly windy?"
"yes, it's weird to have good weather!"
“......”
Suddenly, the wind picked up and stopped.
The crowd was amazed and puzzled, pointing to the sky and discussing, but they did not know that it was the means of a young man behind them.
The next moment, the man rushed up to the altar and kicked the pile of lumber and scattered it to the crowd.
The villagers were frightened and took refuge, forming an open space under the altar.
Li Jihuang felt a little funny, and when he looked around, he found that a young man was dressed strangely, with a large bag and a small bag on his back.
"Who are you who dare to stop us from sacrificing to the river god, and are you not afraid of provoking the wrath of the river god!"
The old priest was shocked and angry, and pointed at the man and cursed.
"Hehe, where did the bullshit river god come from, I am a person who exorcises demons, this river demon harms people, you are also stupid, wait for me to eradicate him, and give you a blue sky and white sun!"
The young man chuckled and said, "No, you're surrounded by a group of fierce men."
"You...... What do you want to do?"
The young man's face was shocked, and when he saw so many fierce men coming around, he hurriedly took a few steps back and looked at them cautiously.
"Who are you, and why are you stopping us from sacrificing to the river god and praying for good weather?"
The old priest came over angrily, staring at him viciously, and his tone was a little unkind.
"Hello uncle, I am Chen Ziqi, a demon subduer, I usually help others for pleasure, do the right thing for heaven, and settle those injustices!"
The young man looked at the strong men around him, swallowed his saliva, and said with a little weakness.
"Young man, you are too ignorant, this river god's mana is boundless, but it is not something you can guess, leave quickly!"
Under the altar, the mourning woman told him with red eyes and dissuaded him from leaving.
"It's okay aunt, these are just pretending to be ghosts, I can solve it!"
Chen Ziqi laughed dryly, looking extremely confident, but when he saw those fierce and vicious men approaching, he shrunk his neck and took a few steps back.
"Hmph, solve it, destroy our sacrifice, and you will eat with the river god today!"
The priest's eyes were full of anger: "As we all know, the river god's magic power reaches the sky, and when he is angry, he even causes the river to swell. Under the wrath of God, who can resist it, and can you resist?"
"Yes, the river has swelled so much in the past few years that it has washed away a lot of houses!"
"The lesson of that time is obvious to everyone, but it can't be destroyed by this person, otherwise it will be us who will suffer!"
"Yes, this person is so strange, who knows if he is here to cheat money!"
The priest's words attracted the approval of everyone for a while, and from time to time there were several echoing voices in the crowd, which caused the villagers to be angry and look at the young man with unkind eyes.
"Arrest him and burn him, or the river gods will be angry, and we will all die!"
"Yes, burn him, burn him!"
“......”
Suddenly, the villagers of Fengyao Village were excited, and many people even surrounded the sacrificial platform with crop shovels and hoes.
"You're mistaken, I'm really here to help you!"
Chen Ziqi was very aggrieved, and hurriedly defended himself, and before he finished speaking, a big man raised his fist and hit him.
He seems to have learned martial arts, and his movements are very fast, and he knocks the big man to the ground with one punch and kick.
"He beats people, fathers and fellow villagers, he beats people! He beats people from our village!"
The old priest cried out, causing the villagers to become angry, and they rushed to the altar and surrounded the young man with hoes.
"Hehe, woman, what are you doing pretending to be a man? Without any cultivation, how can you come to such a remote place? You still want to subdue demons and eliminate demons? It's a blessing that you haven't been eaten by demons!"
Li Jihuang chuckled, he thought it was interesting, his figure moved, and quietly appeared on the stage.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
Although his voice was not loud, it carried an irresistible majesty, and the villagers looked at this extraordinary young man, and their momentum suddenly weakened.
"Are you one of this man's allies, and you want to stop us from worshipping the gods?"
The old priest was puzzled, and pointed at him tremblingly, his eyes were not good. If it weren't for the inexplicable appearance of this young man, who looked either rich or expensive, he really wanted to call the villagers to rush up.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter who I am, but these two children are so young, you want to burn them, it's too much!"
Li Jihuang's face was cold, and the momentum that suddenly emanated made everyone frightened, and they took a few steps back one by one, not daring to look at him directly.
"This ...... This is the river god's designation that on the third day of the second month of February every year, there will be a boy and a girl, so as to bless my Fengyao Village with good weather and rain, otherwise there will be a monstrous flood and my life will be in danger!"
The old priest sighed heavily, looking very helpless. If he hadn't been sure of the young man's identity, he would have arranged for someone to throw the young man off the Tongshen River.
"Hehe, are you willing to sacrifice such a small child to that bullshit river god?"
Li Jihuang ignored him, but looked at the crying and mourning people below.
"We're willing to ......"
"Woo woo, we don't want to, children are so young, they don't know anything, and they haven't experienced life......"
As soon as a middle-aged man said yes, he was interrupted by a woman's crying and mourning, and finally the man lowered his head helplessly, his eyes were red and terrible.
If it weren't for the last resort, who would want to burn their children to the river god.
"You hear it, they don't want to, what are so many people doing here, what should they do!"
Li Jihuang's face was cold, and he stared at the old priest coldly.
The old priest was frightened by him, and did not dare to speak, but quietly gestured.
"How can you do this? destroy our sacrifice to the river god, and it is us, not him, who suffers!"
"Yes, he is not from our village, he can leave, but we can't leave the roots!
"The priesthood must continue!"
“......”
Below, the old priest's cronies made a commotion, causing many villagers to panic.
"Since this river god eats children, why don't you move out of this place?"
Li Jihuang took in everyone's expressions and said unhurriedly.
"Young man, you don't know anything!"
In the crowd below, a majestic old man on crutches was helped out by several people, with a hint of majesty on his face.
"Oh, I want to hear about it. ”
"We used to be residents of Weng Yuanguo, and then the emperor launched a war and frantically exploited the people, we couldn't bear it anymore, so we fled all the way and came to this paradise. ”
"At first, the place was beautiful, the land was fertile, and it was far from the government, so we stayed, cultivated it for several years, and slowly settled in. ”
Later, the villagers caught a fish and came up, and the fish could talk and say that he was the son of the river god, and that eating it would anger the river god. ”
"No one took it seriously and boiled the fish and ate it. After a few days, the river swelled and washed away many houses in the village, and that night, many people dreamed that every year on the third day of the second month, a boy and a girl would be sacrificed to pay for the lives of the river god's children, otherwise all the villagers would be killed. ”
The old man sighed heavily, "Alas, it's not like we haven't thought about escaping, every time we leave the village a little farther, there will be a flash flood, and we can't leave if we want to!"
"And there are a lot of beasts outside, poisonous miasma, barren mountains and strange mountains, we don't dare to go back, we can only be here!"
"Okay, I'll solve this matter, you guys go back first, what should you do!"
Li Jihuang narrowed his eyes slightly, wanting to see what kind of river god he was!
That monster can make waves, the ability must be not small, this time before the big ghost mountain range encountered a difficult monster, if you continue to move forward, there will even be life danger.
However, I can't help but retreat from a trivial matter, how is it possible!
"You solve...... What can you do?"
The old man's face was bitter and he looked very helpless.
If it weren't for the fact that this person has an extraordinary temperament, his every move looks noble, like a person in power, he will not pay attention to the other party.
The townspeople below were extremely noisy, and they were suspicious when they looked at the young man, but they didn't dare to make a move.
"Hehe, I dare say, I can do it. ”
Li Jihuang smiled softly, raised his right hand slightly, and a cluster of flames rose, and the flames danced, reflecting his handsome face.
"Immortals save us!"
"Immortals!"
For a while, the villagers knelt down one after another, bowing their heads in fear, and asking for help sadly and desolantly.
Especially the old priest, every time he remembered his tone to the young man before, his heart was frightened, and he slammed the ground heavily, and his forehead was swollen.
"Okay, it's not convenient to talk here, let's find a place to discuss again. Hurry up and let the child go, don't freak out the child. ”
No, a group of townspeople supported the young man to leave, and Chen Ziqi, who claimed to be a demon slayer, rolled his eyes and followed.
"Hey, you're also a demon slayer......
