Chapter Forty-Eight: Departure
At night, inside the house of the county keeper Ishaw.
She was alone in front of her bookcase, the lights were dim, the windows were open, and the sky was full of stars tonight.
"Dad, the child is going to deal with the water god demon tomorrow. Yi Xiao held the jade pendant in the palm of his hand and muttered in a low voice, "Maybe you don't care if I live or die." It's been ten years, you have wandered the world but have not come to see me again, you are my only relative, so ruthless, so ruthless. ”
......
Night, Qin Mansion.
Qin Yun sat in front of the window, and a flying sword flew out of his palm, quickly becoming three feet long.
Holding this silver sword, Qin Yun's fingers gently wiped the blade of the sword, the sword was cold: "Thirteen years, I have practiced this flying sword, just for this day!"
Sitting all night, unconsciously, the sky outside the window was white.
Qin Yun got up and inserted the silver sword in his hand directly into the scabbard, he still disguised himself as an ordinary magic weapon flying sword, not a natal flying sword.
Squeak, the door opens.
Qin Yun walked out of the courtyard.
"Second son, early. ”
"Second son, early. ”
The subordinates shouted respectfully.
Qin Yun ordered: "Agui, prepare a horse for me." ”
"Yes, Second Son. The servant Gui immediately went to lead the horse in the stable.
Out of the gate of the Qin Mansion, the horses were soon brought over.
After Qin Yun got on the horse, he said, "Uncle Li, I will go out today, and I may not come back in the evening." ”
"Good. Li Bolian smiled and replied, for a cultivator like his second son, it is common to go out for ten days and a half months.
"Drive!"
Qin Yun 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. Qin Yun rode a horse to a place selling steamed buns, and immediately said.
"Second son?" The fat man who sold steamed buns took out a piece of oil paper and wrapped five meat buns with enthusiasm, and handed them to Qin Yun, "The second son comes to me to eat steamed buns, no money, no money." ”
"Take it. Qin Yun threw out ten big coins and flew neatly on the stool next to the stall.
Qin Yun then rode away.
Liu Fatzi smiled and collected ten big money, and the other hawkers on the side said: "Liu Fat, is that the second son?"
"I heard that the second son of the Qin Mansion is an immortal cultivator. ”
"Immortal cultivators also give money for eating steamed buns. ”
There was a lot of talk among the vendors around.
Liu Fatzi said proudly: "What do you know, ten years ago, when the second son was young, he often came to me to eat steamed buns, and he liked my steamed buns the most." ”
......
Qin Yun couldn't help but smile as he ate the meat buns he often ate when he was a teenager. I remember that I had just come to the county town from the village, and my father was still recuperating from his broken arm at that time, and once my mother came back from buying meat buns, and the meat buns were shared by myself and my brother, and I ate more than half of them, which was really delicious. After his father became a head catcher, he often went to buy Liu Fatzi's meat buns.
After eating the meat buns, he rode the horse all the way quickly, and the sun only showed half of his face, and Qin Yun walked out of the East City Gate.
"Yi Xiao hasn't arrived yet?" Qin Yun glanced at it, then dismounted outside the East City Gate and waited.
Waited for a moment.
I saw Yi Xiao in a light green robe riding out of the East City Gate, and Yi Xiao saw Qin Yun at a glance as soon as he came out.
"Coming?" Qin Yun got on his horse.
"You came out early. Yi Xiao laughed.
"I've waited too long for this day, and I have to thank you, Miss Yi. Qin Yun said that Yi Xiao 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. Yi Xiao said.
"Let's go. ”
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. Qin Yun explained, "It must also be the 28th of June, not in advance, not late! Because the twenty miles around the Water God's Mansion are forbidden land, and the human race that dares to enter the forbidden land will be killed without permission." ”
"The entire Guangling County is very large, nearly twenty county seats, millions of people, and some of them even have to travel seven or eight hundred miles to send children to the Water 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. Qin Yun said, "Because it is delivered every year, the villages have long had experience in rushing." ”
All have experience.
Qin Yun 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. Isho said.
"Yes, not anymore. Qin Yun nodded.
Da Da Da ......
The horse's hooves galloped, all the way in the direction of the Water God's Mansion.
A village in the territory of Yugao County.
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." ”
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!
......
There are nearly 20 county towns in Guangling County, how many villages, and how many families are sad. But the water 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.
Qin Yun and Yi Xiao hurried through the two hundred miles, and when the sun was high, they arrived at their destination.
"There's a monster cottage in front. Qin Yun pointed ahead, "All the villages in Guangling County are sending boys and girls to this monster cottage, which is only ten miles away from the Water God's Mansion! Ordinary villagers are not qualified to approach the Water God's Mansion. ”
"Brother Qin, you said it, the twenty miles around the Water God's Mansion are forbidden lands, and if you invade it, you will be killed. Isn't we a little more than ten miles away from the Water God's Mansion now?" said Yi Xiao with a smile.
"That's right, so soon the monsters in this cottage will be killed. Qin Yun nodded, "We still won't wait for them, just kill them and serve this cottage in a pot! ”
"The formation set up by the water god is spread all over the eighteen miles around the mansion, he should have spotted us. Wait until we destroy this cottage and see if he can bear it. Yi Xiao also said.
"If he doesn't dare to come, he will kill himself. Qin Yundao, "Or in his opinion, we are the prey." ”
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 water 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, one by one the monsters came out, some of them were still eating roasted human flesh, and they could be responsible for receiving boys and girls, and these monsters were extremely trusted by the water 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?"
"What a big gut, grab it, and the man eats it! The woman plays with it first, and then eats it. ”
One by one, they screamed.
"Leader, I heard that the two human cultivators who killed on Cangya Mountain are a man and a woman. The pointy-eared monster said in a loud voice, and suddenly the surrounding monsters quieted down suddenly, and the thin monster leader's eyes widened like copper bells: "The man and the woman in Cangya Mountain?"
