Chapter Forty-Eight: Departure
Early in the morning, Yuefu.
Yue Feng sat in front of the window, holding the inconspicuous piece of jade in his hand, gently wiping it, and said, "Fifteen years, I have been cultivating so far, just for this day!"
Sitting all night, unconsciously, the sky outside the window was white.
Yue Feng got up, put the jade into his waist as usual, and walked out.
Squeak, the door opens.
Yue Feng walked out of the courtyard.
"Son-in-law, early. โ
"Son-in-law, early. โ
The subordinates shouted respectfully.
Yue Feng instructed: "Agui, prepare a horse for me." โ
"Yes, son-in-law. The servant Gui immediately went to lead the horse in the stable.
The horses were soon brought in as well.
After Yue Feng got on the horse, he said: "Butler, I will go out today, you tell my father for a lifetime, I may not come back at night." โ
"Good. The housekeeper hurriedly replied with a smile, for a cultivator like his son, it is common to go out for ten days and a half months.
"Drive!"
Yue Feng immediately rode away.
If it is very early today, there are very few people on the street, and even on Jinglou Street, hawkers will set up their stalls early.
"Fat Liu, give me five buns. Yue Feng rode to a place selling steamed buns, and immediately said.
"Gongzi Yue?" The fat man who sold steamed buns hurriedly took out a piece of oil paper and wrapped five meat buns with enthusiasm, and handed them to Yue Feng, "Gongzi Yue came to me to eat steamed buns, no money, no money." โ
"Take it. Yue Feng threw out ten big coins and flew neatly on the stool next to the stall.
Yue Feng then rode away.
Liu Fatzi smiled and collected ten big money, and the other vendors on the side hurriedly said: "Liu Fat, is that the son-in-law of the Yue-Mansion?"
"I heard that the prince of Yuefu is an immortal cultivator. โ
"Immortal cultivators also give money for eating steamed buns. โ
There was a lot of talk among the vendors around.
Liu Fatzi said proudly: "What do you know, ten years ago, when Gongzi Yue was young, he often came to me to eat steamed buns, and he liked my steamed buns the most." โ
Yue Feng couldn't help but smile as he ate the meat buns he often ate when he was a teenager.
I remember that when I first came to the mountains and forests, my father did not have the strength he has today, and once he bought meat buns and came back, and the meat buns were eaten by himself and Liu Ye, and he ate more than half of them, which was really delicious.
After his father took over the management of the mountain and forest shops, he often went to buy Liu Fatzi's meat buns.
After eating the meat buns, the horse riding all the way was very fast, and the sun only showed half of his face, and Yue Feng had already come to the agreed place.
"Xiao Qing hasn't arrived yet?" Yue Feng glanced at it, dismounted, and waited.
Waited for a moment.
I saw Xiao Qing, who was wearing a light green robe, riding a horse, and saw Yue Feng at a glance as soon as he came out.
"Coming?" said Yue Feng on his horse.
"You came out early. Xiao Qing said with a smile.
"I've been waiting for this day for too long, and, Miss Xiao, I have to thank you. Yue Feng said that Xiao Qing had indeed collected more information than himself, and if he followed his original plan, he was likely to have great regrets.
"I'm going to do it, and I'm still inviting you, let's go. Xiao Qing said.
"Let's go. โ
The two immediately rode their horses together.
Two horses galloped on the official road, all the way fast, occasionally I saw some village teams on the side of the official road, the village team has a carriage, and the carriage is a child, usually twenty children.
Some of these children were full of tears, some were in a daze, and some were nibbling on steamed buns.
"On the 28th of June, the children of each village must be dedicated to the god of water. Yue Feng explained, "It must also be the 28th day of June, not in advance, not late, because the twenty miles around the River God's Mansion are forbidden land, and the human race who dares to enter the forbidden land will be killed without permission." โ
"The whole Cangzhou is very big, nearly twenty cities, millions of people, and some of the farther ones even have to travel seven or eight hundred miles to send the children to the River God's Mansion, so they have to be several days in advance. It's not uncommon for these to leave two or three days in advance. Yue Feng said, "Because it is delivered every year, the villages have long had the experience of rushing." โ
All have experience.
Yue Feng felt a tingling in his heart, this kind of day has been more than two hundred years.
"They won't need that experience in the future. Xiao Qing said.
"Yes, not anymore. Yue Feng also nodded slightly.
Da Da Da ยท
The horse's hooves galloped, all the way in the direction of the river god's mansion.
A village on the side of the official road in Cangzhou.
Chang Er and his family of three are being locked up in a cell.
The tall and thin man took the two men to the front of the cell, opened the chains with his own hands, and the tall and thin man said, "Second brother, come out." โ
The woman in the cell rushed out and grabbed the tall and thin man: "Where is my baby?"
"The procession to send the boy and girl has been going on for a day. The tall and thin man said calmly.
The woman was stunned, and sat on the ground, speechless.
"Xiao'e, we can't live with the baby. Chang Er held the other child in his arms with red eyes, and the child was asleep.
"No, no,......" the woman wept in a low voice, knowing that there was nothing she could do, year after year, from generation to generation, for more than two hundred years!
Nearly 20 county towns in Cangzhou, how many villages, how many families are sad.
But the river god demon covers the sky with one hand, and he can send monsters to slaughter a village, or he can set off a monstrous flood and flood countless villages, and the casualties will be heavy.
Yue Feng and Xiao Qing hurried through the two hundred miles, and when the sun was high, they arrived at their destination.
"There's a monster cottage in front. Yue Feng pointed ahead, "The boys and girls from all the villages in Cangzhou are sent to this monster cottage, which is only ten miles away from the River God's Mansion, and ordinary villagers are not qualified to approach the River God's Mansion, for fear of dangering their lives." โ
"Brother Yue, you said that twenty miles around the River God's Mansion is a forbidden place, and if you invade it, you will not be killed, so aren't we a little more than ten miles away from the River God's Mansion now?" Xiao Qing laughed teasingly.
"That's right, so soon the monsters in this cottage will be killed. Yue Feng nodded and said, "We still won't wait for them, just kill them, serve this cottage in a pot, and give the river god a dismount first." โ
"The formation laid by the river god is spread all over the eighteen miles around the mansion, he should have discovered us, and when we destroy this cottage, see if he can bear it. Xiao Qing then said.
"One of the two of us has not yet entered the innate realm, and the other has just entered the realm of cultivating qi outside, if he doesn't dare to come, he will still commit suicide. Yue Feng said, "Or in his opinion, we are the prey." โ
The two talked and laughed.
Then he rode a horse and quickly approached the cottage, which was built on the mountain, at the foot of the mountain, and also to welcome the villages to offer virgins and girls.
"Hmm, it's not June 28, why is anyone coming?" On an arrow tower in the monster cottage, there were two little demons looking at a man and a woman riding horses in the distance.
"Didn't you bring a boy or a girl?"
"Dare to invade the forbidden land set by the river god?"
The two little demons glanced at each other.
"Chief, there are enemies, a man and a woman!" one of the demons shouted.
The whole monster cottage soon became in a commotion, and one by one the monsters came out, some of them were still eating roasted human flesh, and they were responsible for receiving boys and girls, and these monsters were extremely trusted by the river god.
One by one, they went to the gate of the cottage and looked at a man and a woman on horseback in the distance.
"A man and a woman dare to kill me?"
"It's so daring, grab it, the man eats it, the woman plays with it first, and then eats it. โ
One by one, they screamed.
"Leader, I heard that the two Terran cultivators who killed on Yuanqi Mountain are a man and a woman. The pointed-eared monster hurriedly added loudly, and suddenly the surrounding monsters suddenly quieted down, and the thin monster leader's eyes widened like copper bells: "Is this the man and woman from Yuanqi Mountain?"
