In the afternoon, the ancestor worship ceremony of the entrenchment was held on time, it was relatively formal at the beginning, several clan elders were there, people did not dare to make the time, and so on to put the tribute on the incense case, the mayor of the town who was also the patriarch began to talk about it as usual. After that, they began to cut the roast pig, after all, according to the distance between relatives and relatives, the clan surnamed the trench went to a seven, seven, eighty, eight and hundreds of people, and roasted sixteen or seven small suckling pigs from the morning.

Lin Yue also stood with the villagers watching the excitement when he had nothing to do, and in front of him was a group of rich wives, chatting and eating dried fruits. The leader was a woman in her forties, wearing a moon-white satin dress that could have shown a bit of refinement, but a bright gold and silver wasted a good silk. As the leading woman, she is naturally the leader of the topic, but the content is indeed whose children are unruly, and which family's concubines are particularly charming.

When he was preparing to split, he came to the back of the crowd, and he wanted to squeeze forward, not to mention, a bad reputation also has this benefit, as soon as others saw that it was a disaster star Trench, they immediately got out of the way in disgust, and Trench walked in front of the stationmaster.

As the person who handles the division of flesh, he is undoubtedly the person with the highest status and the greatest power in the entire clan. The mayor watched everyone gather around him, and he enjoyed the feeling of power in his hands. But before he could enjoy it for a while, he saw the moat coming, and his whole face collapsed. He naturally knew the intention of Haole, and said coldly: "You go and stand over there, there are all elders here, and finally come to get the roast meat." ”

Trench Le is also used to being discriminated against, and he doesn't argue anything, his seniority is low, but Trench Ah Gong's seniority is high, as the mayor's cousin, even if it is a broken household, he will not be treated like this.

As soon as they saw the Trench Le appear, the women had a new topic, and it was still the leader who changed his words: "It's this disaster again, I'll tell you......"

Lin Yue shook his head at the back of the crowd, whether these women have anything or not, and I don't know where they heard what they said, but their words were very mean. Not long after, the woman's father-in-law, who also seemed to be a wealthy man, came to her with roast meat wrapped in lotus leaves. After all, he is a person with status in the clan, and there are other things for him to do for a while, so he definitely can't take the roast meat, so he can only hand it over to his wife. The same is true for most people here.

Seeing that there was no meat here in the ditch, the mayor didn't stop, and wrapped the minced meat on the incense case with a lotus leaf, which was not less than any one in terms of weight, but it was the corners and corners of a dozen suckling pigs, and he counted it all, since the ditch was the last, all the meat was naturally divided, and the minced meat was useless to give him anyway.

Lin Yue shook his head, this stingy is really a nouveau riche, and then look at the decoration of many big families in the whole town, don't spend money when you should spend it, and spend it where you shouldn't spend money. But it doesn't have much to do with him. Looking at Haole again, he pursed his lips and took the lotus leaf and left, although it was minced meat, but he got it, and it was a good thing that he didn't suffer any trouble. After all, today is the day to worship ancestors, and there are a lot of outsiders here, and the mayor doesn't want to do much, so he asks Haole to take the meat and leave quickly.

Lin Yue also silently left the crowd......

After a few days of observation, this trench is really hated by all people, and it is not pleasing to the whole town, even if it is a foreigner who does not know the situation, seeing that everyone isolates him, it is not good to have more contact with him. In this case, he was not led crookedly, which shows that the tutors of Grandpa and Grandma are still good.

Lin Yue pinched his fingers and calculated the distance of his two apprentices before making a move, it was strange, it stands to reason that they should have arrived at the place they booked by now, why is it still half a beat late, it will be the day soon, if they can't arrive, they can only do it themselves.

……

The two apprentices that Lin Yue was worried about have now reached the boundary of Qiongzhou, after all, the south is far away from the Central Plains and is regarded as a barbaric place, and generally only exile will choose here, but since the rise of shipping, the south has gradually changed, but there are still not many decent big cities, most of them are still based on towns, not even a county seat.

What they didn't know was that someone in front of them had been waiting for them for a long time.

White Deer Town is one of the largest towns in this area, but since four years ago, the whole town seems to have lost its former vitality and become lifeless.

Old man Fan was a tea farmer in his early years, and his family was doing well, but later his son and daughter-in-law went out and unfortunately fell off the cliff, leaving only the old man and a pair of grandchildren, the eldest granddaughter is six years old this year, and the younger grandson is only four years old.

Early this morning, he came early to the stone plaque at the entrance of the town and looked at the avenue. Xu Er, a fat man who sells breakfast, said: "Uncle Fan, you are here, tomorrow will be the day, you have waited every day for half a month and no one has come, you won't be deceived." ”

Old man Fan hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, the immortal master said that there must be no problem." ”

Xu Eryi frowned: "That young man doesn't look like an immortal no matter how he looks, besides, if he really has the ability, he will go and ...... by himself." Alright, when I didn't say it, you'd like to wait for me to pour you a cup of tea. Halfway through the conversation, Xu Er seemed to realize something, and Xu Er stopped talking.

When the sun was halfway over, there were quite a few people in and out of the town, but Old Man Fan never waited for the person he was waiting for, his granddaughter was sensible and would take care of his younger brother, and entrusted the two to the care of his neighbors, and he waited here for half a month, is it really hopeless? Old Man Fan's face was full of despair.

Xu Er knew that his situation was not good to say anything, everyone was so miserable, everything he said was a stab in the heart, it was better to prepare something to eat for the old man than this.

At noon, three figures came on the road, it was Ziyun, Ji Ya and Ma Xiaoguang, who had been in the dust all the way, Ziyun saw Xu Er's stall and said, "Let's eat something and then hurry." The second daughter also agreed.

The three of them just sat down and asked for food, Ma Xiaoguang fed the big-eared rabbit on his shoulder, and Ziyun said: "At our speed, we can reach Huadu in the evening the day after tomorrow." ”

Ji Ya originally wanted to enter Lin Yue as soon as possible along the way, but when she was about to see her, she was a little reluctant to make such a trip: "When you get to Huadu, you can talk to Master about things along the way." In the end, I wanted to see that Lin Yue's mind had the upper hand, since Lin Yue saved her when she was a child, her heart had basically been hung on Lin Yue.

Ma Xiaoguang, who was feeding water on the side, interjected: "I always heard you say Master, Master, I also want to meet this god of war in the Northland." "Lin Yue's reputation in the north is not small, and the spear Lin Yue is not only the land of Qilu, but also the land of Yunyan, because the high-level of the Ma family knows that this is a disciple of the three sects of Gen Hongmiaozheng, and he must not be offended.

Ziyun smiled slightly: "I won't let you down." ”

The three of them were talking, and suddenly found that there was an old man at the next table who had been looking at the three of them, his mouth pursed and seemed to stop talking, Ziyun frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong with the old man?"

This old man was the old man Fan, he thought for a while and said, "This girl, can I take a look at your hair?" He said it was Ji Ya, who covered her blonde hair again in order to reduce the trouble.

The three of them listened to Old Man Fan's words, and they were all curious. Ziyun said: "My sister can't take off her coat and hat for some reasons, please forgive me." ”

Old man Fan didn't leave, nor did he stay, so he was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "I'...... That ......"

Seeing him like this, Ziyun felt more and more suspicious, but Ji Ya didn't want to look at people and said, "There's nothing that can't be seen." Then he took off his coat and hat, revealing a head of blonde hair, and the people around him looked at it, but they did not pay as much attention as the people on the road before. Probably because it is not far from the flowers, it is not surprising that foreigners of all kinds of strange shapes have seen a lot.

Unexpectedly, Old Man Fan knelt down with a thud, and said with tears in his eyes: "I'm waiting for you!"

The three of them were all blindsided, and they didn't know what was going on, but Ziyun still hurriedly helped Old Man Fan up: "Uncle, you get up first and speak slowly." ”

Old man Fan got up and told the three of them everything, this place is called Bailu Town, originally quiet and peaceful, four years ago a monster came to the mountain not far from the town, threatening to Bailu Town every year to offer a virgin boy and a virgin for him to eat, otherwise he would kill in the town.

Bailu Town is under the rule of Qingyuan County, but it is already within the scope of Huadu, and the forces are staggered, and the previous magistrate lost his life before he sat down here, so that there were no officials here, and the officials were chaotic. Out of the man-eating monsters, no one in the government accepted it, the people in the town looked for the mage many times, but in the end they were fed to the monsters, and the people of the whole town couldn't run away, the monsters were powerful, and no matter how far you ran, you could catch it back as soon as you stretched out your hand, and it wasn't a person who died at that time.

In the end, there was no way. Only every year for boys and girls, there are always some newborns in the whole town every year, and the two rights are sacrificed to die, this year it is the turn of the old man Fan's house, the old man Fan's son and daughter-in-law died early, only the little granddaughter and the little grandson are left, the people in the town feel that the old man Fan is lonely, only let him be a virgin, and the grandson stays to save a little blood.

But this granddaughter Fan Old Man was also reluctant, at this time, an immortal appeared, he said that in a few days there will be two people on the road, you go and beg them to save your granddaughter. Old man Fan was also suspicious, the immortal showed his magical powers, and immediately shocked the old man Fan, and wanted to ask the immortal to save him, but the immortal said that only these two people could save him. Old man Fan hurriedly asked what the two looked like.

The immortal replied: A man and a woman, although they are not very old, the woman carries a large sword, and the hair is blonde, and the man is ...... He also carries a sword, and he doesn't look ugly, so you can wait at the entrance of the town.

However, Old Man Fan waited in the town for a few days, and never saw the person the immortal said, but when he thought of his granddaughter, he came here every day with hope and waited, and then returned disappointed in the evening. No one who enters and leaves White Deer Town every day meets the criteria. Tomorrow is the day of the annual sacrifice, and if you don't come today......

At this moment, three people came over, and Old Man Fan's eyes lit up, but he didn't dare to be sure...... On the one hand, the number of people is wrong, and on the other hand, although Ji Ya is carrying a big sword, she doesn't know if she has blonde hair.

After talking about the cause and effect, Ziyun and Ji Ya glanced at each other, they couldn't see it, it was clearly a test left by the master, if it weren't for the problem of the ferry and the incident of Xi Wusheng, the two of them should have arrived here earlier, and Lin Yue didn't expect one more Ma Xiaoguang.

However, since it was a man-eating monster, without Lin Yue instructing Ziyun and Ji Ya to prepare to clean him up, Ziyun was more cautious and asked, "Does my uncle know the origin of this monster?"

Old man Fan thought for a while and said: "That monster is called the long-armed demon ape, using thousand-year-old iron birch wood as a weapon, and its arms can be stretched out at will, and there is nothing he can't catch from southern Xinjiang to northern Xinjiang." ”

Ma Xiaoguang listened: "Uncle, you know really clearly." ”

Old man Fan smiled bitterly: "How do I know, this is all said by that immortal, even the name is given by the immortal, we only call him a monster or the king of the mountain." ”

Ji Ya asked, "In addition to the long arm, does this monster have any other skills?"

Old man Fan shook his head: "I don't know about this, the immortal said so much." ”

Ziyun said: "Don't worry, since I know, I will never sit idly by, and I will definitely get rid of this monster for Bailu Town." Old man Fan was naturally grateful for his kindness and thanked for a while.

The three of them finally persuaded him to leave, and Xu Er came over: "Three...... Little hero, can you really get rid of this monster?" These three people are too young, Xu Er himself has no bottom in his heart, he also has a five-year-old eldest son, and now he is fine, but there is no guarantee that he will be fine in the coming year or the year after, it is naturally best to get rid of this monster. But if you can't get rid of it, this monster will implicate the town.

Ziyun said: "This big brother, please rest assured, if you don't have this ability, the immortal won't guide Fan Laozhang is not, you can rest assured." Xu Er still couldn't let go, but it seemed that the three of them were going to subdue the demons, and they couldn't stop it, so they could only pray for God's blessing in their hearts.

When the three of them were about to eat, Ji Ya asked Ma Xiaoguang, "Do you want to surrender this monster?"

Ma Xiao's bald head shook like a rattle: "Don't, I don't want monsters that eat children." Although there are many people in the Ma family who have taken in harmful monsters for their own use, but Ma Xiaoguang is obviously not this kind, thinking about the monsters sealed in the wooden cards in his hands have eaten virgins and boys, Ma Xiaoguang suddenly lost her appetite for lunch, and sure enough, she still likes to sell cute monsters. Except for the tiger demon, she doesn't have any carnivorous monsters in her hands.
