Pan Long read the booklet that introduced the magic path of Yunzhou and felt quite interesting. After pondering for a while, I simply went back to the store and bought a lot of miscellaneous books.

Some of these miscellaneous books introduce the customs of a certain place, some tell a certain anecdote, and some are simply stories made up by unknown literati. Pan Long even saw a copy of "The Journey of the Lewd Frog and the Fat Man on the Four Continents", which tells the story of a man with red cat's eyes, ugly, short and fat shaped like a frog, traveling in a strange world divided into four continents by the vast sea.

"I always feel that this story is a little familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere before...... Is it my delusion?"

He had been reading this pile of books in the inn for several days, and he had read them with great interest.

One day, he read a travelogue, the author is a self-named "Nanshan Old Man", this person has been a businessman in the southeast of Yunzhou for many years, and he has written such a travelogue based on what he has seen and heard for many years.

Essay pen, this travelogue is of a very poor level, the article is written dryly, if it is placed in the online literature world in the previous life, I am afraid that there is no chance to even sell it on the shelf, let alone how many subscriptions.

But the biggest advantage of this travelogue is that it is a "true" word, according to the author, all kinds of customs and customs recorded in it are all witnessed by him, and not even one of them is hearsay.

Looking at this travelogue, it is like following this old man who has been wandering for half his life, walking between the mountains and rivers in the southeast of Yunzhou, walking through towns and villages, and seeing all kinds of people and things.

Pan Long read for a long time, put down the book, lay down on the bed, looked at the ceiling of the roof and sighed.

"In a blink of an eye, it is already the first month of the eighteenth year of Emperor Renchen, and it has been almost three years since Ah Feng died!"

"If he was still here, he would definitely appreciate the 'Old Man of Nanshan' when he saw this travelogue. ”

"It's been three years...... Time flies!"

"In the past three years, I have also achieved great achievements, and I can be regarded as famous, and I can be regarded as at ease across thousands of miles...... But looking back, I feel that the most lively days in my life were the life of a young king in Dingfeng Town. ”

"If I had a choice, I would even prefer to go back to the world of my previous life. Even if it's ordinary all my life, the biggest living thing I've ever killed is just a cockroach, and I've never seen murder and bloodshed in my life......"

"People are probably like this, when they are ordinary and stable, they want to pursue excitement, and when they are used to seeing wind and rain, they feel that peace is a blessing......"

He sighed for a long time before picking up the travelogue again.

After a while, when the book saw the end, he suddenly frowned, and his eyes fell on one of the records.

"In the west of Hengduan, there are dozens of snow-capped mountains of all sizes, the mountain snow melts into water, dozens of streams converge, because there are many peach trees in the mountains, when the flowers fall in spring, there are countless petals falling into the river, so the river is named 'Peach Blossom River'. ”

"There is a water god in the Peach Blossom River, who repeatedly asks for beautiful women from the world as wives and concubines. On the second day of the second month of the sixth year of Emperor Bingxu, I passed by the Peach Blossom River and met the river god to marry. The villagers take the fine bamboo as the raft, choose a beautiful woman dressed up and sit on the raft, drifting down the river, and do not know what to do. ”

"The woman was so good-looking, she went with the flow, what a pity!"

Pan Long looked at this record and couldn't help but feel unhappy.

Evil gods ask for human sacrifices, and this situation is often recorded in folklore. It's just that after the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, Emperor Jiazi swept the world, but all the kind of murderous demons who take pleasure in blood and food, whether they are monsters or demon gods, were all killed by him, and gradually "human sacrifice" This kind of thing has become an ancient legend.

He himself had seen such a legend in a storybook, for example, during the Tianxiong Dynasty, there was a river god who asked for boys and girls as sacrifices every year. Later, a hero set up an ambush, poisoned the river god with poisoned wine, and cut off its head with a knife.

As a result, the sword became famous and was called the "Dragon Slaying Blade", and this treasure knife was passed down through the generations, and later became the saber of the emperor's armor. It is said that after the death of Emperor Jiazi, he was buried with this sword.

The name of that story is "Dragon Slayer".

It's just that he never thought that in today's world, there would be such a thing.

"The sixth year of Emperor Bingxu...... Isn't that what happened more than 200 years ago? I don't know if this kind of thing will happen again more than 200 years later?"

He thought for a moment, stood up, and started to pack his bags.

Today is the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, and there is still some time before the second day of the second month of February, and now I leave for the Peach Blossom River, and I should have time to arrive before the river god marries.

If that custom has been abolished, that's it. If the bad habits are still there, then he has to take care of them.

If...... There really is a cannibalistic river god in Peach Blossom River, so he has to give it a try, whether his knife is good or bad, and whether he can kill this murderous evil god!

After making up his mind, Pan Long hurried away. The bullies along the way were lucky, because he was in a hurry, and unless there was some evidence that was already full of evil, he would rather let it go for the time being.

Along the way, he killed a total of three groups of bullies.

The first one let the dog bite someone to death on the street, and he chopped off the dog's head with a knife, and chopped off the person's head with another knife.

The second was notorious, and he broke into his house directly, and the knife was like snow, and the lackeys and bullies died all over the place.

The last one was when discussing the business of killing people and selling goods, he happened to be in the box next to the hotel, when he heard the voice, he swung a knife through the wall, and cut the three people in the box into six pieces.

These three killings were done in broad daylight, without scruples. As a result, when Pan Long came to the Peach Blossom River and rested in a tavern, he heard someone talking about "Quick Knife Ah Fei".

It is also interesting to say, he stayed overnight every day without delay, but his reputation spread faster than his hurry, which is really strange.

"Have you heard? The fast knife Ah Fei is coming this way. ”

"I don't know which one here is going to be unlucky. ”

"Hehe, Liu Laohu's family, who have always done a lot of evil in the town, went out overnight yesterday, and it is said that they are going to visit relatives. When I passed by today, I saw that the door of his house was locked, and there was no one inside. ”

“...... He's locked the door, how do you know there's no one?"

"His vicious dog barks madly whenever someone passes by. I went to his house to see it today, but there wasn't a single dog barking inside - you think, even the dog has run away, and the people are still there?"

"Haha, I see!"

"It's a pity that he ran too fast, if only he was a few days late, just wait for that hero to pass by!"

"If he can hide for a while, he can't hide for a lifetime, if he continues to do evil, there will always be a day when he will be cut down!"

"That's right!

In the corner of the tavern, Pan Long couldn't help but laugh as he listened to the loud conversation of the drinkers.

"After the matter of the marriage of the Peach Blossom River River God is resolved, I will come back to visit this 'Liu Laohu'. He said with a smile in a voice that only he could hear, "After all, everyone has said that if you can hide for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime." ”
