Bai Yuanjie watched the mages listen to his last sentence, he didn't squeak for a long time, just looked at the wine bowl in his hand, shook his head left and right, and thought, I just said that I had something to say, so why don't I give up?

So he said,

"Don't worry, master, I'm just following you through the process, and I won't make trouble for you, anyway, you have to ask for an assistant, just ask one less, and I won't do it!

"It's not that I disagree, I don't want the second young master Qu Zun to let the clansmen see the joke!" Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey, you don't care about this, I'm willing, help, everyone is going to help that day, my dad has to help, who dares to laugh?"

"Hey, this, this, it's really embarrassing?"

"Or else!" he said, thinking for a moment,

"I'll follow you for a while, just follow quietly!"

"For what moment?"

"It's just that I'll stay in your incense hall at night for a while—just to see how you confused that woman, so that she could lie obediently on the plank the next day, be carried up the mountain, not make any noise, and be sober?"

"Oh, my second master, you are trying your best to solve the problem for the old way!" the mages sighed and said,

"I'll tell you the truth, making those girls behave is not actually the effect that my magic can achieve, mainly because of the burning cigarette!

When Bai Yuanjie heard this, he suddenly said,

"Oh, I see, you use ecstasy, why aren't you?"

"Hey, okay, okay, young master, this is the secret of the old way, the secret of heaven must not be leaked - you can spare me!"

The mages almost pleaded, brought the wine in front of them, and made a bowl of it themselves!

"Then let's do it, I'll follow you that day, and act when the opportunity arises! You can just give me a convenience! I won't trouble you, I promise not!"

Bai Yuanjie did not relent, and the mage was forced to have no way back, shook his head, and replied ambiguously,

"Let's talk about it then, let's talk about it when it's time - act when the opportunity comes, act when the opportunity comes, right?"

Then the two sides raised the bowl together, and they did it again, and the mages still felt that there was something wrong, and said uneasily,

"It's okay to enter my incense altar Dharma room then, but it depends on the time! Just wait for me to arrange it, but--but-but, this money, twenty taels, Lao Dao still doesn't dare to accept it!"

"Alas, masters!" Bai Yuanjie grabbed his hand and said,

"If you want to mention this money again, then you will look down on your little nephew and don't give your little nephew face! I don't dare to see anyone now, don't let me hold my head up and get off the stage!"

The mages had no choice but to shut up, and the two of them continued to go back and forth, drinking sullenly.

————

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, Zhenxue almost never closed her eyes in the past three days, every day under the noses of many soldiers, she was tormented with sadness, tears had dried up, only the grief and indignation in her heart.

On the day of the burial, a new grave was erected in the mountain forest, everything was over, and the mourners all left one after another, only Zhenxue knelt alone on her mother's grave, unwilling to leave for a long time, and knelt until dark, before being persuaded to leave by several women-

Seeing that I am about to leave home again, this farewell may be a farewell forever - there are a thousand words in my heart, and I am full of anger!

Lao Zhentou was busy with the funeral, and at the same time, he was asking someone to help Zhenxue find a witness, find a matchmaker, want to be justified, and finally save his daughter, but tens of thousands of people in Baihezhou know about his family, where does anyone dare to stand up?

The few people entrusted ran a few laps, and none of those old matchmakers and red moon guys dared to do so. The old man was so anxious that he was confused all day long, and he didn't know the east, west, north and south?

Zhenxue knew his thoughts, and on the night of his departure, he said to his family,

"Father, brother, sister-in-law, little sister, and my little nephew, you are my dearest relatives in the world! My mother is gone, and I never want to see my relatives have any more accidents - Dad, you don't have to go to anyone to testify, it's useless to find anyone now, I can face everything, I hope my relatives can also face everything!"

"Although I am about to leave, but this is the will of God, no one can stop - you don't have to worry about me anymore, every year there are girls up the mountain, I am just one of them, others can live, I have no problem!

"I believe that this hurdle will pass, I hope you can be strong and brave to live, only alive can there be hope!

The words were tragic and passionate, and the family was heartbroken, hugged together, and was silent.

In fact, Zhen Xue also heard from the gossip of her neighbors in the past two days that the two daughters of the old Qin Tou family died after she left home, so she realized that it was no wonder that when she passed by his door that day, she heard the woman yelling at her viciously!

Kneeling on his mother's grave, he was silently thinking, what is all this? Who caused it? If it is that big beast and worm, then the tens of thousands of people of my Baihezhou should be unlucky for generations? Will we be oppressed by it for generations and will never be at peace? Will such a human tragedy happen every year? Won't we have the slightest remedy?

Thinking of the people here, a desire suddenly sprouted in her heart to find out! Life and death were no longer important to her, and she thought, don't say that you let me go, now that you don't let me go, I will also go up the mountain! I must see what that monster looks like? I must see what it looks like when I die, and I must go to the underworld to sue it when I die—

The next morning, the old man set up a banquet to entertain a group of soldiers who had been guarding for three days, and when he left, with the consent of the soldiers, the old man called Zhenxue to the room, turned under the box for a long time, turned out a small wooden box, opened the box, there was a small paper bag inside, and then opened the paper bag, revealing a few small black beans larger than sesame seeds.

Zhen Xue was puzzled, looked at her father, and listened to him say secretly,

"It's called 'Ling Pine Bean', and it is the fruit of a thousand-year-old pine on Snow Lotus Mountain that has been covered by heavy snow for many years. It's very rare - I also heard your grandfather tell me about it, he went up the mountain six times and quietly risked his death to pick it up-"

Zhenxue still opened her eyes wide, not understanding what her father meant.

"Come, girl, put it in the little cake of your earrings. I've been thinking about it for a long time, only the two earrings you wear can hide two, and you can't hide anything else! With these black beans, you won't be smoked by the poisonous incense of the high priests, you can go up the mountain with a clear mind, and after going up the mountain, you can respond to the convenience of the people at will, looking for an opportunity to escape from the clutches of the devil—

"That spirit beast, although powerful, but also large, slow to move, slow to exert power, as long as you find the right opportunity, you can escape-your father, me, with your brother, sister-in-law, little sister, little nephew for you blessings!"

When Zhenxue heard that this was the case, she didn't expect that her father was not confused these days, and she left her last hand for me at a critical time, and she was full of emotion in her heart, remembering his words tightly, and nodding silently.

The old man finally admonished,

"Remember to swallow it in advance, you can ensure that you will not be harmed by smoking for two or three days!

Zhenxue took off the earrings, there were just two small round cakes that could be opened, two on one side, just four on the ear, and then on the ears, and finally the father and daughter still walked out with a heavy heart.

Lingwa has slept enough in the past few days, and she is really sleepy after more than a month of running around in the mountains and fields. Fell into the small hut arranged for him by the old lady, and fell asleep, no matter whether you were crying or making trouble outside, as long as you fell asleep, you couldn't hear anything, and you couldn't wake up.

He slept hard day and night, ate when he woke up, and after eating, he saw that he had nothing to do, and went to sleep again, so that a group of soldiers could also worry about it, and there was nothing to do all day long.

It wasn't until the morning of the third day that I was leaving, going back to the cell of the Bai tribe, that I felt like a prisoner?

Fortunately, I have Zhenxue by my side, I will accompany me to the end, she is not afraid of a girl, what am I afraid of? I have rested so well in his house these days, my energy has recovered as before, and I am full of energy, I haven't saved her yet, she is still my savior-

The courtyard is still full of people, Zhenxue said goodbye to her family, and said goodbye to the villagers and neighbors, a thousand thanks, reluctant, cherished each other, very touching!

Lingwa followed alongside, only silently watching them return the salute to each other, and finally couldn't help but raise her hand to say goodbye to everyone!

Everyone is obviously no stranger to him anymore, they are all waving and smiling at him, and some even give him a thumbs up! Xuanwu was also present, and after everyone finished saluting, he quietly pulled Lingwa aside, and said lukewarmly,

"Boy, don't you have any accidents, I'll wait for you to come back, and have a chance to compete again?"

After speaking, he patted Lingwa on the shoulder twice.

Lingwa bowed back to him and said,

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, if you have the opportunity, you must have a good exchange, learn from each other - haha!"

Seeing that the other party's expression was no longer so fierce, Lingwa stepped forward again and whispered into his ear,

"I'll tell you the truth, Zhenxue and I are fake engagement, fake marriage! fake, nothing at all——!

Then he sighed again,

"Hey, it's a pity that the fake one is useless!

After Xuanwu listened, he felt suddenly inexplicable in his heart, and he couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder again, and only said, "You kid-"

Before he finished speaking, a soldier was urging him to go back to prison, so he had to step aside and watch Lingwa and Zhenxue walk in front of him in iron shackles-

The cell was set up in an open space next to the ancestral hall, surrounded by high stone walls, and there were more than a dozen low pointed grass houses, old and dilapidated, with green grass growing on the houses. Although it is dilapidated, there are all kinds of interrogation rooms, detention rooms, and execution rooms inside!

Since Baihezhou has a population of only about 20,000, most of them are women, children, and the elderly, and the clan rules are strict, and the punishment is severe. In addition, Bai Yuanying led a group of thousands of soldiers, thugs, patrolling around day and night, and being vigilant - so there were very few people who broke the law and violated the law. There were few people in the cells, and most of them were empty.

Zhen Xue and Lingwa were taken back to the backyard of the ancestral hall, Old Man Bai, Master Zhu, Bai Yuanying and several other bigwigs were there, and a large number of people came out of the room and looked at the two again.

In three days, everyone's temper was reduced a lot, and the old man Bai glanced at Zhenxue and said calmly,

"Girl, don't say anything! In two days it will be the year-end festival! What should you do, you know it in your heart, right? From today on, we are not to blame for the previous events, and you should not hate Grandpa Bai for speaking loudly -- this is also for the sake of the well-being of tens of thousands of people in our clan! From today on, you will stay in the hall, have a special priestess to serve, eat well, drink well, sleep well, but don't be willful!"

The Master then added,

"Yes, Zhen girl, look at how good Grandpa Bai is to you, you don't need to live in the cell, and I specially cleaned two very good rooms for you. Moreover, you can also get six buckets of wheat and four taels of silver at home, and all taxes and fees are exempted this year, what a good thing! You have done good deeds for the clan, and the clansmen will not forget you! Haha!"

Zhen Xue saw that they had all changed their faces from yesterday, thinking that everything was expected, and said calmly,

"Okay, I can go up the mountain! I'm ready—but I have a little request?"

"Say, what do you ask, say it boldly?" asked the old man in a loud voice as if encouraging her.

"Let him go back!" Zhenxue pointed to the spirit baby next to her!

"Ah, let him go?" As soon as Bai Yuanying saw Lingwa, he was a little restless, and suddenly became fierce again, and said,

"Do you know how many of our brothers he wounded? Twenty or so people are still in the house—who is he?"

"I'm a distant relative!" Zhen Xue snatched and said,

"Since you don't recognize our engagement, I can't help it—I just ask you to let him go!"

Lingwa was also shocked when she heard this, and thought, I'm also ready to go up the mountain with you, I just saw the portrait of the giant spirit beast, isn't it just a fat big white worm? I also want to see how many magical powers it has at the bottom? Besides, I still want to find the "Red Golden Snow Lotus" that has an important purpose! I don't know if there is a bottom on it?

So immediately replied firmly,

"No, no, I'm not going back, I'm going up the mountain too, I must go up the mountain!

His answer surprised everyone present, and everyone was thinking, this is strange, there are still people in the world who are willing to die?

Seeing that Lingwa's answer was exactly what he wanted, the old man Bai opened his fat face and said with a smile,

"Well, if there is a marriage contract, you tell him to go back, and he will not go back! You should also go to the festival, and then we will save one person on our side!"

Then he turned his head and said to the other big men in charge,

"Go back and add wheat and silver to the girl's house!

Seeing Lingwa's firm attitude, the old man Bai smiled brightly, Zhenxue was angry and hateful in her heart, and she couldn't help it, so she only glared at Lingwa fiercely, and said a word "You ——?" in front of everyone
