"Where's the monster? I'm going to destroy it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"The monster usually comes and goes without a trace. We don't know either. But we often encounter it on the river, and if we don't accede to its request, it will make waves and drown our ships. We live by fishing, and every day we come and go in the wind and waves, so we ask for peace, so we have to compromise. The old man lowered his head as he spoke, looking helpless.

Xingchen: "Old man, don't worry, this matter will be left to us." ”

"Okay, thank you, great kindness ......."

"Old man, it's never too late to thank you for destroying that monster." Xingchen hurriedly supported the old man who was about to kneel.

"Uh-huh, a few warriors are invited inside, and we will set up a banquet to entertain you." The old man nodded excitedly and hurriedly let Xingchen and a few people into the village.

It is a small village with clay embryos made of walls and windows. "Old man, I don't know what tribe you belong to? When something like this happens, why don't they come to help? "Orcs are generally small clans attached to large clans. Bu Yaoshuai asked puzzled.

"The strong man doesn't know. We are a small branch of the cat family. Attached to the Hoof Horin tribe. They only have to pay tribute, and they will care if we live or die. ”

Yuan Mingyi: "In this case, why do you need to pay tribute, holding the tribute is enough to ask the magician to protect you, and the excess can be distributed to everyone." ”

"Hey, don't talk nonsense." The old man nervously stopped Yuan Mingyi, and looked around vigilantly, "If we don't pay tribute, we will be exterminated." Don't mention this matter again in the future, otherwise it will inevitably cause murder. ”

After a while, the dish was served. "Come, several, I didn't have a good meal, I hope you will forgive me, this is already the best we can come up with." The old man raised his glass and said to the stars.

In a thatched house, a table. Xingchen and the old man sat aside, and behind them were surrounded by villagers. The space was cramped.

"This 。。。。。" Everyone raised their glasses and the stars did not move, so everyone was embarrassed for a while, so they had to put the cup down again.

"My lord, what do you mean by this, is there any dissatisfaction?" The old man asked embarrassedly and honestly.

"No, it's just that I'm not used to having so many people with me when I eat." Xingchen looked at the villagers standing to the left and right.

"Oh, sorry. Excuse me, adult. Go down and eat, all of you. The old man gestured apologetically to Xingchen. When the villagers heard the old man's words, they left one after another, leaving only the six stars and the old man. There were so many fewer people in the room all at once, and the atmosphere returned to freezing point again.

"Come, my lords, try our perch here, it's famous." The old man eased the atmosphere again.

"Perch? I'll try it, and it's rumored that this thing is not easy to get, and it has always been a royal tribute. We have very few here, and only a few of us can taste it once in a while. Bu Yaoshuai was surprised when he heard this.

"Not bad. Indeed it is. I can't imagine that adults are well-informed, and ordinary people don't want to say that they have seen it. I'm afraid it's unheard of. The old man saw Bu Yaoshuai say it and said proudly.

Yuan Mingyi said while eating: "Isn't this the Hoof Lin tribe? What the hell is the royal family? ”

"Cut, you don't understand that. The royal clan is the number one force in the Orc Continent, and the Hoof Lin tribe can only rank second. Hey, ****, you leave me some. Bu Yaoshuai said and found that Yuan Mingyi pretended to nod, but his hand did not stop, and immediately joined the scramble.

Everyone looked at the pair of living treasures and was speechless for a while. Only Xingchen glanced at Ling Yan with an expressionless face meaningfully. Since tomorrow is the day when the monster asks for tribute, Xingchen and the others agree to stay for one night and wait for the rabbit tomorrow. Subdue the monster when it comes.

At night, the stars are accompanied by the moon, and the candles are lit. The people in the village walked or sat in twos or threes. The chirping of insects in the grass is clearly visible, and the river water blown by the wind is sparkling. Everything seemed so peaceful and peaceful.

Ling Yan walked to the water alone and sat on the spot, not afraid of mosquitoes and snake bites. I don't know where to take out a piano. Fortunately, the night blocked the view of the villagers, and no one had an idea, otherwise they would not be frightened and curious when they saw that they conjured a piano out of thin air.

Sit cross-legged with the piano on your lap. Ling Yan stroked the strings with one hand, and as his hand seemed to feel the strings tremble from the air.

"Huh." With the sound of a piano, the silence of the night sky was broken. A beautiful tune that captivates everyone. The vibration of the strings is matched by various waves, as if there are ripples in the sky, and the stars in the sky are flickering and bright.

More and more people were attracted by the sound of the piano, and gradually Ling Yan's side was full of people, everyone seemed to have discussed, and no one in the tacit understanding disturbed him, and he was intoxicated by the sound of the piano.

After the song was over, the sound stopped, and everyone still did not wake up.

Bu Yaoshuai: "It's a good song, and the aftermath is lingering." I didn't expect this kid to do this. Hey, what kind of song is this? ”

Phantom Moon: "The phoenix seeks the phoenix." ”

Cole: "But why do I hear a sense of sadness?" ”

Yuan Mingyi: "Those who know its music understand its meaning, and those who listen to its sound know its heart." ”

Bu Yaoshuai sniffed when he heard this, "You know? ”

Ling Yan stood up and glanced at everyone. watched it very seriously, as if he was afraid of missing something: "When the familiar melody sounded again, there was no one in the crowd." With that, he broke the piano.

"What do you mean by this? Do you have to destroy a piano every time you finish talking? What's the use of talking about it, no matter how good it is. Seeing this, Bu Yaoshuai said loudly, I don't know if he was really so righteous or because he had an opinion on Ling Yan because of the duel when he first met.

Xingchen: "There is a tomb in the heart where a man is buried. After saying that, he was the first to leave.

"What do you mean? It's a mistake for us to take this guy with him. It's too dangerous, talking about the piano for no reason, and I dropped the piano when it's over. Bu Yaoshuai said after seeing Xingchen leave.

"Is that really the case? A story, whether it begins or ends, may be just a word difference that will bring back memories. Too many stories will always turn into accidents. Are you sure you didn't say anything? Rare reluctance even spoke.

"What did I say?" I haven't even spoken to him. Bu Yaoshuai asked puzzled. He didn't answer, just shook his head and followed the stars.

"What did I say? What the hell am I talking about? Seeing this, Bu Yaoshuai asked Yuan Mingyi.

"The royal family." Yuan Mingyi miraculously cherishes words like gold.

Bu Yaoshuai is not an ignorant person, and reacted instantly. Ling Yan's story was known to several people, and it must have been his mention of the royal family at dinner, which triggered his dusty memory.

"Let's have a drink." I don't know when, Bu Yaoshuai walked behind Ling Yan with the wine. Ling Yan didn't think much about it, took the wine glass and drank it all.

Bu Yaoshuai: "Okay, refreshing, how does it taste?" ”

Ling Yan handed over the wine glass: "Come again." ”

"In my life, there is nothing in the world that can't be solved with a glass of wine, and if there is, then two." Bu Yaoshuai said as he poured wine. After three rounds of drinking, the two raised their glasses to invite Mingyue, looked at a few people in the shadow, and were drunk.

"My lord, you listened to the sound of the piano just now, but who is Lord Jiang looking for?" On an official boat on the river, a soldier asked the man standing at the bow of the boat.

"It should be good, you quickly take someone back by fast boat to report, I'll wait here."

"Yes." The soldier clenched his fists and bent down in agreement, and immediately left. And no one knows what is happening.

On the second day, Xingchen and the villagers boarded the fishing boat together, and because the old man was old, he found a young man named Zhang Sheng to lead the way for Xingchen and others.

The small fishing boat is on the river, the wind is constant, like a duckweed without a heel, and it is extremely difficult to walk. When they arrived at the center of the river, the waves were even more stormy, and several people were wet from time to time. The fishing boat is blown and swaying, and there is a danger that it will capsize at any time. There are many boats on the river, and there is a great tendency to ride the wind and waves, which makes people both daunting and excited.

Ling Yan improvised and said: "People come and go on the river, but when they smell the beauty of the perch, they don't know a leaf boat, and they are haunted by the storm." ”

Bu Yaoshuai: "Damn, this kid can still write poetry?" It's just that he has a bad personality. ”

Xingchen smiled when he heard this. I don't know if Ling Yan and Fan Zhongyan are in harmony, the poems are so similar. Earth, is there a chance to say goodbye? The stars are once again in their memories.

"This is it, the monster is here for us to throw our tribute here." The boat rowed into a place where the current was slow, and Zhang Sheng said, pointing to a body of water.

Hearing Zhang Sheng's words, Xingchen was pulled back to reality from his thoughts. But he closed his eyes again. The spiritual power was instantly released in all directions, extending through the water to the bottom of the water. "Yes, it's here, but I don't know why the bones below are tied up and their hands and feet are covered with their mouths?" Xingchen saw with his spiritual power, and saw a large number of female corpses under the water, their hands and feet were trapped by ropes, and their mouths were covered with strips of cloth.

"I don't know about this, but the tribute is usually pre-selected by the village chief. He was sent to the village chief's house the night before. The next day it was already tied up at the time of the sacrifice. It seems that the village chief said that the monster was irritable, and he was afraid that he would not obey, so he yelled and disturbed the monster. Thus all the people who were transported were killed. Therefore, in general, women will resist desperately when they are sacrificed. For the sake of their own comfort, the transporter never dared to take off the strip of cloth. Zhang Sheng said honestly.

Reluctantly: "Why did the sacrificial woman send her to the village chief's house to guard?" ”

"The village chief said that this would make it easier to guard and prevent the sacrificed people from escaping, which would bring disaster to the whole village."

"So the village chief said it? Have you ever seen that monster? Xingchen wondered. Because he didn't see any monsters under the water just now, there was only a school of fish swimming among the bones from time to time.

"See, that monster is scary. He has a long body, a bloody mouth, sharp teeth, and a pair of lantern-sized eyes. Once swallowed a magician in one bite. That's something that ordinary magicians can't resist. ”

"Alright, don't scare us. Did the village chief tell you to say that? Xingchen laughed.

"No, it's not. You can go to the village and ask, the whole village has seen it. Zhang Sheng stammered in the face of questioning.

"Oh? Really? You can't be that erudite as a kid growing up in a fishing village. You've just said a couple of idioms. If my guess is correct, someone must have taught you to say that. Bu Yaoshuai, who was well aware of the situation in the Orc Continent, decided that Zhang Sheng was lying.

"Hmph, you guys are just nonsense, and the village chief asked me to warn you well, I don't want you to die in vain." Zhang Sheng also came to the fire. This group of people is so ignorant.

"Heh, sure enough, it's the village chief. Say, what did the village chief tell you? ”

"Yes and what? I don't say what can you do to me? Zhang Sheng looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
