Before the Taoist priest's words fell, he saw that the sky was covered with clouds, thunder and lightning, and the river was rolling like a turbid wave, and even the earth under his feet was shaking, and his ears were full of rumbling loud noises, and he couldn't tell whether it was thunder or the sound of the earth cracking, as if the sky was about to collapse in an instant.

I've just said that I haven't even applauded for a long time, and this stupid person is falling apart without a mouth?

"Demon girl, look at the good things you have done!"

The Taoist priest took the opportunity to say: "Just because of you, the entire Wuling County will be doomed!"

"You're pretty good at throwing this pot. ”

Shen Li said hatefully: "It seems that you are not the first time to do this transaction, right?"

The Taoist priest actually looked quite proud: "You are right! My ancestors have been the high priests who presided over the dragon king's wifery, and they have been choosing wives for the dragon king for generations! If you let me go now, I can still leave you a way to live!"

"Well, then you're not wronged. ”

Shen Li picked up the Taoist priest expressionlessly, pointed to the loud water and said: "Look, your Dragon King Ancestor is in a hurry? Since this is the case, then please go down and tell his old man - your aunt and grandmother have repented of the marriage, what is the little girl this year, there is only a greasy middle-aged uncle, let him make do with it!"

After speaking, without giving him any chance to refute, he casually pulled a red cloth and stuffed it into his mouth. The Taoist priest stared at him but couldn't speak, he snorted with hatred, but his whole body was tied up by her and he couldn't move.

How could I give you a chance to steal the limelight from me? You've got too many lines.

Shen Li carried the Taoist priest to the edge of the altar, facing the Yellow River, and kicked him down.

There was an exclamation from the crowd.

Shen Li turned around, looked at the Taoist priests who were still gathered around the altar and waited for an opportunity, and said coldly: "You also remember for me! But whoever has forced others to jump into the river will have such a day sooner or later! Since ancient times, the way of heaven is good for reincarnation, who will the heavens spare?"

Her menacing appearance actually frightened those young Taoist priests into retreating step by step.

At this time, Mu Bai had finished taking care of the Taoist priests who were guarding under the platform, jumped on the altar, stood beside Shen Li, and said with a bitter face: "Hey, look behind you." ”

Shen Li turned around at this time: I don't know when, a huge dragon with a whole body black leaned out of the river, several feet high, straight into the sky, the long beard on the huge dragon head fluttering, but the eyes were closed, in the dim light of the dark clouds, it was like a huge dragon-shaped silhouette, silently standing in people's sight.

"Wow. ”

Shen Li couldn't help but exclaim: "What a big blind dragon." ”

Mu Bai hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, for fear that she would say something again and provoke it.

The dragon could not see, but his hearing was excellent. I saw that its body twisted, and the dragon's neck bent slightly, and in an instant, it was like a black and oppressive dark cloud descending, just shrouding the sky above the altar. The distance between the dragon's head and the human suddenly narrowed, close enough to see each of its whiskers, the shiny inky dragon scales were fine and neatly arranged, and the thick nostrils spewed salty heat.

After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in screams, and the people fled in terror. Even the white-clothed Taoist priests who originally wanted to rush to the altar to catch Shen Li all hid under the stage, watching from a distance and not daring to approach.

Shen Li pulled his hand away dissatisfiedly and said, "What, isn't that Taoist priest delicious?"

Mu Bai held his forehead, almost crying.

The dragon's mouth opened slightly, revealing Bai Sensen's fangs. Its tongue was also inky, and along with its mouth and throat, it slowly opened its entrance in front of the two of them, like a bottomless abyss.

Shen Li was not afraid, and pulled the silver steel knife out of its scabbard, but said to Mu Bai: "This big guy, is it better to steam or braise it?"

"Sashimi. ”

Mu Bai didn't have a weapon in his hand, he looked around, picked up the bronze bell and the demon suppression flag of the black-clothed Taoist and tried it in his hand, he felt that he didn't have it too much, and threw it aside: "The weather is too humid, I'm afraid it's not good to make a fire." ”

The dragon followed the sound and tilted its head, as if to determine the position of the two of them, ready to attack.

Mu Bai looked around and saw a guqin in the corner of the altar, so he was overjoyed and ran over in a few steps. He lifted the hem of his clothes, sat on the ground, put the piano on his lap, took a deep breath, sank into the dantian, and closed his eyes slightly; when he put his hands on the strings and opened his eyes again, he was already calm and relaxed, as steady as Mount Tai, as if he had changed people.

When the first note came out from between the strings, Yan Shuling, who was standing at the highest place, was shocked. He played the Taixu Town Spirit Song, turning the nine-character mantra into a rhythm, forming a formation with string sounds, attacking the spirit of the town to exorcise evil spirits, and guarding the array to set up an enchantment - it's just that the cultivation of the person who played it was too shallow, and the piano was too ordinary, so it was really difficult to exert the true power of this song.

The point is that that the song was created by Wuling Shenjun, and there are few people in the world who know it, where did he learn it?

There was a doubt in my heart, and the familiar tune was uneasy. Yan Shuling saw that the giant dragon was attacking the two of them, and couldn't help shouting:

"Nine Abysses!"

Unexpectedly, when the dragon heard this, he immediately stopped moving.

"Aha, I'll just say there's something going on here!"

Seeing this, Shen Li pointed at Yan Shuling and said loudly: "That group of fools is just a mortal with the naked eye, you are obviously profound, and you have long known that there is no dragon king here, but you still help them to engage in this trick of 'dragon king marrying a wife', then there is only one possibility-you and that monster are, one, guy, da!"

"Huh. ”

The giant dragon known as the 'Nine Abysses' bowed slightly, and actually said, "Yan Shuling, are you going to break your promise?"

Yan Shuling didn't speak, but her eyes finally fell on Mu Bai. Halfway through the song, a transparent barrier gradually rose around the altar, separating everyone from the dragon.

Jiu Yuan suddenly raised his head and flew towards the lead-gray sky. The shiny black dragon body pulled away from the river and hovered in the cloudy sky overhead. At the moment when the entire dragon left the water, the huge dragon tail swung slightly, and swept over the altar intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that the barrier that had just risen was shattered in an instant, disappearing into nothingness.

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, Mu Bai looked at the dragon that flickered in the clouds overhead, and said to Shen Li with some discouragement: "Otherwise, forget it this time." ”

Shen Li ignored him, but said to Yan Shuling: "Send a girl into the river every ten years - if it hadn't been eaten by it, I'm afraid that the white bones would have already filled the riverbed!"

Yan Shuling just didn't say anything, and looked up at the dragon in the rolling dark clouds with some distraction.

Shen Li continued: "It's a shame that you are still an immortal cultivator! I and other mortals understand the truth, but you don't understand?! If you fight it, it's just a pity, and I've done my best! But you are obviously worshiped by other people's incense, but you want to collude with that monster, won't your conscience hurt?!...... What a 'ten-mile red makeup'! You personally sent one fresh girl after another into the tiger's mouth, I only ask you if you saw them crying when you dreamed back at midnight? ! Are you really not afraid of retribution?!"

"What a sharp-toothed girl. ”

Jiu Yuan poked his head out of the thick clouds, his whole body was as black as ink, and his voice was low and loud:

"I will not only eat your body, but also your soul. ”

But Shen Li noticed that it had a dragon claw that was always clenched: "What are you holding in your hand?"

Jiu Yuan's huge body slowly descended, mixed with the slanting rain silk approaching the ground little by little, and the dragon claw slowly opened a gap, revealing a trace of golden light from it:

"Guess. ”

She didn't have time to see what it was, but she saw Yan Shuling suddenly appear in front of her, and in her indifferent stone blue eyes, at this moment, they were as turbulent as a roaring river, sad, helpless but resolute:

"You won't have an afterlife. ”

"Huh?"

Shen Ligang was stunned for a moment, but when she saw Yan Shuling slam her on the shoulder, her whole body lost her center of gravity and fell backwards - just in an instant, she disappeared into the turbid water, and was swept into the bottom of the river by the rapids before she could even call for help.

"Fourteen!"

Mu Bai was shocked when he saw this, and he didn't have time to think about it, he chased after him in a few steps, and plunged headlong in the direction of Shen Li's entry into the water.

This was beyond Yan Shuling's expectations. She guessed that Mu Bai might come to the rescue, but she didn't expect to follow without hesitation, this affection was really shocking. However, after only a short period of emotion, her face regained her calmness again, and she said sharply to Jiuyuan:

"Go back to your seal!"

Jiuyuan's wanton and wild laughter echoed in the mountains, like rolling thunder from the sky, shaking people's scalps. The huge black body hovered rapidly in mid-air for several weeks, and the waves of air that set off caused the sand and stones on the ground to roll in all directions, and the fierce wind blew so fiercely that people could not open their eyes.

A moment later, it shot like a black arrow into the water, making a large splash, and the moment it disappeared from view, the clouds stopped and the silence in my ears returned to death.

Then the clouds in the sky dissipated, the restless river returned to calm, and the sun shone on the earth again as if nothing had happened.

The altar was in shambles, leaving only Yan Shuling's slightly thin figure.

She looked at the water with some distraction, and suddenly thought pessimistically: the girl in the red wedding dress had disappeared forever—not the first, and never the last.

Once every ten years, ten miles of red makeup. She personally sent those girls to a dead end, which was a real dead end, and there would never be even a chance to be reincarnated, and they would be wiped out forever.

But this is the first time Yan Shuling has killed someone, and he has personally cut off a fresh life. No matter how ornate the decoration was, it couldn't hide the unbearable nature of the 'Dragon King Sacrifice'—so she would rather let a crappy charlatan complete the whole ritual than get involved.

Knowing that it was an evil transaction, she couldn't choose it—what Jiu Yuan was holding in her hand was the Yuan Shen of the Master Wuling Divine Monarch. In order to save that person, she was willing to do anything, even if it was murder, even if it was to endlessly satisfy all its unreasonable demands, even if it was impossible to recover.

The sun was shining all over the earth, shining warmly on her body, but she couldn't feel a trace of warmth, and the heavy guilt weighed down. Finally, with her knees weakened, she sat down on the ground weakly, looking at the wide, quiet water, and wept silently.

"Master!"

"Master?"

Seeing that everything was calm, the little white-clothed Taoist priests who were hiding under the altar had the courage to get closer and called out tremblingly.

Even though the endgame in front of us is exhausting, what is even more desperate is that everything is far from over, and the tragedy will still be repeated, and there will be no end in sight for a cycle of ten years.

Yan Shuling's face quickly regained his former composure and slowly stood up. When she turned to face the crowd, the tears on her face were dry, and her indifference was the same as before:

"Let's go, go back to Wulingguan. ”

After being swept several miles downstream by the rapids, the two men were thrown out of the water like objects and slammed onto the shallows on the shore.

"Ahem. ”

Shen Li was smashed so that his eyes were full of Venus, frowning and moaning for a long time before he could barely sit up, coughing up water for a long time before he said: "Pit goods! You cottage water beads are really not good! I don't believe that the genuine baby is so water-avoiding! Which fairy can fall into the water and become like us? What kind of treasure is it!"

"It's said that it's a high imitation! It's good to be able to save your life, but you still don't ?...... Where can I go to get the real thing? The real thing is so valuable, how can I afford it for people like me? You're almost there. ”
