Shuangling River.

Small mountain town.

In the cold winter, the sky is snowy in the morning, but the river is not frozen, but warm as spring.

Perhaps the people paid tribute to the boys and girls and were blessed by the river gods, and the local fishermen also stuttered in winter.

But last month, Chaoge sent a lot of blood-red rice seeds to distribute everywhere, even in remote mountain towns, where every household received seeds.

The official also said that even if these rice grains are planted in a pile of rocks, they can survive.

The imperial court issued a death order, and other agricultural and fishing affairs could continue, but this rice must be sown in the spring, and the whole family was reduced to slavery.

At the bottom of the Shuangling River, in a rather magnificent water spirit palace, a snake demon with a majestic head is enjoying the dance of the monster in the water.

Yu Jiu's strength is already at the peak of human immortals, and he may break through to the heavenly immortals at any time.

It has dragon blood on its body, but unfortunately it is from the most remote side of the Dragon Clan in the East China Sea, and its mother's bloodline is also very mixed, causing it to be immortal and unable to even turn into a Jiao.

However, if you break through to the Heavenly Immortals, you can purify the dragon blood in your body and become a genuine Jiao.

At that time, with the strength of the Heavenly Immortals, the East China Sea Dragon Clan will not say that it will be honored as a guest, but it must be no problem to be a military attaché.

Maybe if you have a good relationship with a certain pure-blood dragon, you can also get some pure dragon blood......

If it can be transformed into a real dragon, the character in the surname can be replaced with the word Ao.

Thinking of this, Yu Jiu couldn't help but feel happy.

Enough of this place.

As a dragon, cultivating in the water has a unique advantage, and with the power of desire to strengthen the physical body, Yu Jiu is willing to stay in the Shuangling River for so long.

Counting the days, it's been five hundred years.

During this period, he avoided more than 30 patrols of Yin Shang Dazhu, and his cultivation in the gods of mountains and rivers may not be the highest, but his qualifications must be at the forefront.

The breakthrough is imminent, and Yu Jiu wants to hold a parting banquet for himself tonight in the name of his birthday.

Just as she was admiring the dancing of the shell girl, a shrimp spirit entered the temple respectfully.

With a wave of his hand, the girls stopped dancing and bowed away.

"King, the invitations have been delivered, but ......"

The shrimp spirit knelt in the temple, half-human, wearing a pair of armor, and wanted to speak again.

Yu Jiu frowned, and said coldly:

"But what?"

The shrimp spirit hurriedly crawled to the ground and replied tremblingly:

"That Sancha River Shenlong Yuchuan refused to accept the invitation and drove out the lowly position!"

When Yu Jiu heard this, he was immediately furious, and scolded:

"I don't know what to do! If it weren't for the fact that it also has dragon blood, this king wouldn't be too lazy to take care of it! Isn't it just that he was canonized by the Heavenly Court? Put such a big score! ”

The shrimp essence is also a smart one, so he hurriedly got up and trotted to Yu Jiu's side, knocked his legs and rubbed his shoulders, and said flatteringly:

"The king is angry, when you break through the Heavenly Immortal and join the Dragon Clan, you will definitely be able to ask the Heavenly Court for a proper job of spreading clouds and rain, and the Dragon Fish River will not be worthy of lifting your shoes when the time comes!"

When Yu Jiu heard these words, the qi in his heart dissipated a lot, and he sneered:

"Arowana River is not worthy of lifting my shoes now, the gods and goddesses canonized by the Heavenly Court in the entire world have cultivated to the most immortals, and they are all miscellaneous pieces with mixed blood and mud that can't support the wall, how can they compare with me, a true dragon?"

The shrimp essence hurriedly echoed:

"The king is right, it can't be compared."

After dissipating his anger for a while, Yu Jiu asked:

"What about the other landscape gods? Have you asked for everything? ”

The shrimp spirit froze for a moment and said:

"I have gone to all the lowly posts within a radius of eight hundred miles, but I haven't found any of them in Xiaoshi Mountain, not even a shadow."

"Huh?" Yu Jiu pushed it away, and said with an unkind look in his eyes:

"The aura of that place is far more abundant than other places in the world, although there are not many human races, but there are also many mountain and water gods, there are more than ten people who know this king alone, and you haven't found any of them?"

The shrimp essence felt Yu Jiu's killing intent, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying:

"How dare the little one lie, if the king doesn't believe it, he can go and see it himself, but the little one hasn't been found after dozens of turns."

Yu Jiu suddenly became puzzled.

Could it be that Yin Shang Dazhu is patrolling again?

But it's not like they're all gone, are they?

Yu Jiu knew a scholar whose breath was far stronger than it, and he served as a mountain god in the mountains and rivers near Xiaoshi Mountain.

One person and one demon got acquainted by chance, and they kidnapped hundreds of mortal women together for a period of time, and the relationship was not bad.

The immortals won't run, right?

Since the founding of Yin Shang, I have never heard of a heavenly immortal being caught by Yin Shang Dazhu.

"Get up," Yu Jiu pondered for a moment, and said softly:

"Who else hasn't been found?"

The shrimp spirit breathed a sigh of relief after the catastrophe and replied:

"Except for the one in Xiaoshi Mountain, the others have all received invitations, saying that they will definitely come tonight, and there are a total of fifty mountain and water gods."

Yu Jiu nodded, and said:

"Go to Xiaoshan Town, and let them send thirty more boys and girls, although they have a few dozen in reserve, if they don't have enough to eat, this king's face will be lost."

"Yes."

The shrimp spirit was ordered to leave the Crystal Palace and lift his fork to the surface.

In a short time, it set up waves several feet high to crash against the water temple on the shore.

The old temple was napping and was suddenly awakened.

When she came out and saw the shrimp essence, she knelt on the ground with her hands folded, and bowed her head with a pious face:

"Meet the Emissary."

Because the shrimp spirit often passed on the word for Yu Jiu, the residents of Xiaoshan Town regarded it as a messenger of the river god.

This old woman is not a good thing, the fox is fake and mighty, and she is ruthless and forces others to sacrifice her children, and she was selected by the shrimp essence to become a temple blessing.

"Inform the residents of the town that today is the millennium birthday of Lord River God, and quickly select thirty boys and girls to present to Lord River God, so as to ensure that the town is smooth and rainy and has a good harvest every year. If it doesn't come before dark, it will set off a big wave and bury everyone under the water! ”

After the shrimp essence finished speaking, he burrowed into the water without looking back.

Old woman bows:

"Congratulations to the messenger."

Then she returned to the town and gathered the people in the name of the river god.

In the wide dam in the center of the town, as soon as she stood on the high platform and finished finishing the matter, the crowd below exploded in an instant.

"Thirty? Didn't you just send ten last month? ”

"Where can I find thirty?"

"Poor children......"

Suddenly, a man walked up to the old woman and asked cautiously:

"Lord Miaozhu, can you ask the river god, is it okay to pay tribute to adults? I would like to be a sacrifice. ”

The old woman stiffened her face and shouted angrily:

"No! Only boys and girls! ”

She pointed at the man and gritted her teeth, as if he had said something rebellious:

"Wu Laosan! You're single! Shanggong has nothing to do with you, don't talk! ”

She looked at them again:

"What's wrong with thirty! You can sell fresh fish at a high price in the winter, all of which rely on the river god! ”

After saying that, the old woman immediately took out a roster of the town's residents and ticked off thirty families with children.

As soon as the sacrifice was announced, many of the people present fainted on the spot.

A woman collapsed to the ground with a pale face, crying incessantly:

"The child's father is dead! I can't live without children! ”

The old woman sneered:

"If you can't give up your children, they will? If you don't sacrifice and anger the river god, everyone will be unhappy! ”

The man named Wu Laosan couldn't bear it anymore, so he rushed forward and pushed the old woman away, and said loudly in front of everyone:

"Dazhu has woken up! The gods have not forsaken us! ”

"We were forced to worship the foreign gods, and Dazhu will not punish us!"

"Great Wish, I will kill the alien gods! No one has to hand over their children! ”

"I'm going to Chaoge to complain to Dazhu! Who's with me! ”

Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to echo it.

The river god is close to the late ruler, but the great blessing is far away in the sky.

Besides, that kind of god-like figure, is it something they can see if they want to?

The old woman smashed on the ground and ate in pain, Wu Laosan's face turned red, and seeing that everyone didn't react, he immediately shouted:

"You're not going! I ......"

Before he finished speaking, his expression instantly stiffened, his eyes quickly lost their brightness, and he jumped off the high platform in silence.

Then he walked to a corner and took out three dolls carved in pink.

He was asked:

"What is this?"

Wu Laosan's face was sluggish, and he said lightly:

"I bought it."

He picked up the roster that had fallen on the ground and wrote down the names of the three dolls.

One is called Bai Xiaoyao.

One is called Kong Xiaoxuan.

One is named Zhao Xiaoming.
