When the bucket woke up, he had a terrible headache, pain inside and out—apparently, he woke up in pain. He had a pillow on his forehead, and a thick bandage was wrapped around his head, and he didn't know what kind of ointment was wrapped in it, and the liquid that flowed out was yellow-green, yellow-green, and smelly, and it flowed down his mouth, making him sick to death.

It took him a great deal to remember who he was, what had happened here, and when he saw that there was no one, he cried out loudly, for he was hungry, hungry to death—more than this headache.

The braided brother came, and immediately asked someone to prepare a meal.

After the iron bucket dinner, seeing that the braided brother frowned, he asked where Tao Xiaozhi and Amu were.

The braided brother said, "Their situation is even worse than yours。。。。。。。。 ”

The bucket said, "Are they hurt?"

The braided brother said, "No." ”

The iron bucket smiled, "That's good。。。。。。 I had expected that the dead rat would never be a match for the two。。。。。。。。 ”

Brother with braided eyebrows said: "Very bad." ”

The iron bucket said: "You don't want your mother-in-law, tell me what happened!"

The braided brother gritted his teeth and said, "They were arrested。。。。。。。。。 ”

The bucket clenched his fists and said, "Damn, they can't even beat that dead mouse。。。。。。。。 ”

The elder brother with braided eyebrows said: "It's not Ou Batian who captured them, it's the half-king of the Sea Dragon Peninsula who guards the Sea Dragon." ”

"What?" said the bucket in surprise, "what has happened to them?"

The braided brother sighed and said, "It's not a curse, it's a capital crime!"

The iron bucket was startled, and he was speechless for a while.

Brother Braided continued: "After your head blossomed and was sent here, Tao Xiaozhi was still on Hailong Mountain, and his whole body was burning with fire at that time。。。。。。。 ”

"Could he be 。。。。。。。。。 again? The bucket was even more surprised.

Brother Braided Eyebrows said: "At that time, he was completely out of control, like a crazy fire unicorn。。。。。。。。。 And then a big sabotage began。。。。。。。。 ”

The iron bucket said: "Could it be that he is in the Divine Dragon Temple。。。。。。。。。 ”

Brother Braided Eyebrows said: "In the Hailong Peninsula, the Divine Dragon Temple is a place of incomparably holy spirits, and it is where the beliefs of the people here are。。。。。。。 And he turned everything into smashes, and burned everywhere, and overnight it was in ruins。。。。。。。 ”

The iron bucket said, "Didn't anyone stop him then?"

The braided elder brother said: "Where can anyone stop him - those guards stepped forward to stop him, and none of them were not injured and burned, and they could only watch the sacred dragon temple collapse in the fire。。。。。。。。 When Tao Xiaozhi finished his seizure, there was no fire on his body and he fainted, and the soldiers escorted him to the prison of the Hailong Peninsula, and the county guard disposed of him。。。。。。。。 And Amu was also arrested and imprisoned for blasphemy against the dragon。。。。。。 ”

The iron bucket said: "What does the county guard want to do with them?"

Brother Braided Eyebrows said: "I said that the Divine Dragon Temple is an incomparably sacred place, and their actions have seriously desecrated the Divine Dragon, causing public indignation among the people of the entire Sea Dragon Peninsula。。。。。。。。 ”

"Are they going to die?" said the iron bucket.

The braided brother gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid it's inevitable。。。。。。。。 ”

The iron bucket said: "Isn't it just a temple。。。。。。。。。? ”

The braided brother sighed and said, "It's too late, they will be beheaded at noon today to sacrifice to the dragon to atone for their sins。。。。。。。 ”

"What?!" Iron Bucket was startled and immediately jumped out of bed, "No, I'm going to save them!" said this, and was about to rush out, but was pulled by the braided brother.

"Do you know where they are?" said the braided brother, "Besides, as long as you take a step out of the Meifu, your head will fall to the ground in no time—the outside has been surrounded by the county guards, and we are already under serious surveillance, no different from staying in prison! And the county guards have already ordered: Those who travel without permission will be killed! Even I am no exception!"

The bucket stomped his foot and said, "What should we do? It's less than an hour before noon! Shall we just sit here and wait for them to die?"

Then he grabbed his brother's shirt and said, "Aren't you on good terms with the Red Concubine Niang? Tao Xiaozhi is not the person she wants? Why don't you ask the Red Concubine Niangniang for an invitation?"

Brother Braided said: "Last night, I wrote a secret letter and handed it to Huoxing and Silly Star to take out secretly, hoping that they could find the red concubine Niangniang and beg Niangniang to let them go。。。。。。。。 But now they haven't returned。。。。。。。。 ”

The iron bucket let go of his hand, sighed and said, "I hope the red concubine can save their lives。。。。。。。。 ”

"It's not that I want to hit you," Brother Braided said, "Now the people of the Sea Dragon Peninsula are already angry, if the Red Concubine Niangniang orders them to be released, how can the people here give up! Niangniang doesn't want to cause turmoil on one side。。。。。。。 ”

It's a square.

This place, called the Dragon Dance Field, is usually a place for people's entertainment and leisure, and many popular entertainment programs are held here, such as elections, meetings, dancing, watching plays, dragon dances, and so on. Then the war came, and people had no time to entertain, so it seemed a little empty. Later, the vendors gathered and it became another market. Today, many people, they are not here to do activities or buy things, but to pay tribute to Shenlong - because of a special sacrifice (because the Shenlong Temple has been destroyed, only this place is relatively suitable for sacrifice).

In the center of the dragon dance field, there is a dancing dragon stone carving, around which a few zhang away is crowded with people, densely packed, looking down from above, looking like a sunflower. They're pointing fingers and squeaks, but they're no different from going to the wet market.

In front of the statue of the dragon, there were two kneeling people, locked with iron chains - yes, they were Tao Xiaozhi and Amu (locked with iron chains, just to prevent Tao Xiaozhi from burning again, similar to preparing a large vat of water, etc.). Standing behind them were two executioners, part-time, whose main occupation was pig slaughter.

On the high platform on one side of the square, there were some local officials, the highest of which was the half-king of the sea dragon of the sea dragon peninsula. His biggest characteristic is that he is "ordinary", no different from other officials, but it is easy to distinguish among the people. On the left of the county guard is Zhang Qingtian, the prefect of the county, and on the right is another big man -- he is the master of the dragon rider Song Shangyi and the rat rider Ou Batian! He is naturally good-looking, or to be precise, "his appearance is not good": he has a strange nose, narrowed eyes, a high forehead and cheekbones, a flowing mustache like a dragon's whisker, unkempt blonde hair, and his body is not skin but golden scales! Therefore, it is not unreasonable why he is called "Island Dragon."

I heard that the island dragon is also a person with a strange personality, so how can he also be interested in this ordinary "sacrifice"? Of course, there are many points to watch: first, he wants to see if the legendary Tao Xiaozhi is true; second, Song Shangyi said that he is true; and third, he does not believe that it is true. What is "really"? Of course, it means "quasi-unicorn knight".

Yes, there was still an hour before noon, so the whole "sacrifice" was only in the preparation stage. After all, it is not ordinary people who are "sacrificed" this time, but the legendary "successor of the Qilin Knight", so it must also be solemn and sacred, which is not only respect for the dragon, but also respect for the "Qilin Knight".

Yes, Tao Xiaozhi once had an inexplicably lofty position in the hearts of these people in the legend, but that has passed, because they have lost the Shenlong Temple, lost their faith, lost their souls, and are afraid that the Shenlong will descend, they must fill their inner hesitations and fears - this is the best way to dedicate Tao Xiaozhi to the Shenlong.

Perhaps, you think that an hour is too long, just like giving birth to a child, because usually dramatic things happen in the last second, such as flying frost in June, plotting heroes to come out to rob the law field, etc., but the plot in reality is not as exciting as imagined, maybe it's quite boring, which makes people with the mentality of watching a drama more or less unhappy.

Song Shangyi is such one. He came with a dragon, then jumped onto the high platform on the official's side, stood in front of the sea dragon half-king, and said, "Long time no see, how is your godfather?"

According to the size of the official rank, the sea dragon half-king is just a county guard, and Song Shangyigui is the anti-demon dragon general (and also a dragon knight) appointed by the imperial court, which is naturally above the county guard, although there is no direct relationship between their superiors and subordinates. But Song Shangyi can have today, he was promoted and recommended by the Half King of the Sea Dragon, without him, there would be no former today, so Song Shangyi also treated him like a benefactor, like a father, and in fact, the Sea Dragon Peninsula also accepted him as a godson.

The half-king of the sea dragon smiled and said, "I didn't expect my godson to come too—come here, give me a seat quickly!"

"No need," Song Shangyi said, "I'll just say a word and leave-"

The Sea Dragon Half King suppressed his smile because he felt that what he was about to hear would not be any "good words". Since he saw Song Shangyi for the first time, he had an indescribable liking, probably because he was old and childless, and then he accepted him as his godson, tried his best to help him, sent him to the island dragon to learn art, encouraged him to tame the zodiac dragon, and constantly recommended it to his superiors and even the Holy Emperor, and achieved the current Song Shangyi. At the beginning, Song Shangyi was quite hard to please him, and he was naturally very pleased to treat him better than his biological father. But gradually, after this godson had a certain popularity and achievements, his attitude gradually changed, making him feel very unnatural, and he was like living in a drama, although Song Shangyi also respected him. He knows that one day will come, and this godson will always show his true side in front of him, maybe today.

The Sea Dragon Half King reluctantly smiled: "I know that you want to intercede with them, and I also know that you have a relationship with them, but their sins are too deep to be tolerated。。。。。。。。。 ”

"Wrong, it's not 'pleading'-" Song Shangyi said coldly, "It's 'order'!"

Of course, the sea dragon half-king was quite shocked and annoyed, but he didn't have a seizure, because if they were just in a father-son relationship, of course it would be a big rebellion, but if it was an official relationship, this "order" would be normal!

"You。。。。。。。。 The Sea Dragon Half King could only swallow all the foul words into his stomach, and then said, "General Shenlong, don't you know the laws of this island? A serious blasphemy against Shenlong is a capital offense! I am just acting according to the law。。。。。。。。 ”

"I don't care about this!" Song Shangyi said coldly, "If you dare to touch a single hair of them, you will definitely regret it!"

"You。。。。。 What do you want?" the Sea Dragon Half King was obviously terrified, and then looked at the Island Madness Dragon, hoping that he would come out and stop the apprentice, but the latter also looked at him coldly and smiled coldly.

Then he pretended to be calm and retorted: "I also hope that you don't do anything illegal, otherwise。。。。。。。。 ”

"Otherwise?!" Song Shangyi glared at him fiercely, so frightened that he almost peed his pants, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Then Song Shangyi said: "Don't be in a hurry to answer, there is still an hour, you can think about it slowly。。。。。。。 Just, don't * me then!"

Then, Song Shangyi jumped up, rode away on the dragon, and disappeared into the clouds.

The Sea Dragon Half King was undecided, not mainly because of fear, but because the change was so sudden, he was simply washed into the whirlpool, constantly spinning, spinning, and still not finding a way out.

And at this moment, a fast horse came quickly, and a guard jumped onto the high platform, bringing an edict from the red concubine: On the order of the red concubine, I have come to give Tao Xiaozhi and Amu a "death-free holy card", which is admired!

The holy card of avoiding death was lit high, and the whole audience thanked them together and shouted Long live the Holy Emperor!

The Holy Plaque of Avoiding Death is a card given by the Holy Emperor of the Holy Spirit Source to some special people, with this card, no matter what sins have been committed in this country, they can be forgiven, and seeing the card is like seeing the Holy Emperor!

For this "death-free holy card", everyone thinks that it is not the right time, if an hour later, the moment when the big knife is about to cut off Tao Xiaozhi and Amu's heads comes just right, so that it will be energetic! It seems that God is also a boring guy, and he is too bad at arranging the plot of the world, making the script very boring and empty。。。。。。。。。
