Text Chapter 209: The Legend of the Year Beast
When Xiao Si, who was in charge of the worship platform, saw this phenomenon, he was shocked and ran out like crazy, shouting, "The city lord is not good! The city lord is not good!"
The quiet city lord's mansion became noisy, Xiao Si went straight to the city lord's residence, and many servants in the mansion along the road looked sideways, with doubts in their eyes, not knowing why he was like this.
"Pedal and pedal!" "Pedal and pedal!" Hurriedly, through the mahogany attic, stepping on the pear blossom floor, a towering and exquisite combination of buildings represents the face of Xiangcheng, only to see in this thousands of Qiong Lou, there is a single courtyard, boxy, and other buildings are very different, blue bricks and green tiles are very ordinary, just like the kind of fence yard in the countryside, the yard is simply surrounded by bamboo, the ground is not wood, but red clay and stones, all kinds of plants and vegetables and fruits on the soil, bear a lot of fruits, and the path of the stone splicing extends to everywhere.
It is extraordinarily chic, and it seems to be in it as if entering the feeling of pastoral style, because it is too special to be seen at a glance, Xiao Si rushed to the door, knelt down directly, did not even dare to knock on the door, took a deep breath, and said: "Lord of the city, the little one has something to report." ”
The surroundings were extremely quiet, as if they were forbidden places, there was no figure in half, only Xiao Si knelt at the door.
Time passed little by little, but there was still no figure of the city lord, he was dying outside the door, what does the jade plate flicker mean! It means that a big man has come to Xiangcheng, and it is the biggest one, and he can't afford to provoke the existence.
He clearly remembered that in the early years, the adult came to Xiangcheng because he was tripped by the threshold after drinking, and he was furious, and since then there is no threshold in Xiangcheng Tavern and Inn, etc., this is to affect a city with the power of one person, it is too terrifying, the more Xiao Si wants to break out in a cold sweat, his expression is flustered, and he can't help but remind again: "My lord, the small one has to be repaid!"
The city lord had specially instructed him before, as long as the jade plates of the first two factions flashed on the altar, he would quickly tell him.
The second reminder didn't seem to work, there was still no one, a bald middle-aged man with an extremely rich appearance in the hut in the courtyard, with a big oily belly, was sitting on a rocking chair, enjoying the good time comfortably, squinting his eyes, humming a small song, so he didn't want to pay attention to the people outside the door, it was rare to take a day off, and every minute was hard-won.
Xiao Si is also a clever ghost, and he knows very well that the city lord is in the room, and he wants to be lazy so he doesn't want to come out, and his little eyes grunt, and he thinks about it, if he says it bluntly, he will be punished for not following the rules, and he must indirectly let the city lord find out by himself, and he didn't tell him directly.
So, he stood up, turned around, pretended to be puzzled, and muttered as he walked: "The city lord is not here, alas, but unfortunately the change in the first place on the altar is not visible." After finishing speaking, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and quickly covered up, and his footsteps hurried back.
He didn't know if he could succeed in this plan, no matter whether the city lord could hear it or not, if it dragged on, the supreme might be stormy again, and his heart was uneasy.
Back to the worship platform, as soon as Xiao Si entered the door, he saw a bald man with a full and round body standing in the middle, he was stunned at first, and then happy, knelt down inside, bowed down and said: "I have seen the city lord, I hope the lord will forgive me, the small one plays a small trick." "He actually knows very well that his small actions can't hide from the city lord, which is called a plan.
But no matter how kind it is, it is not in accordance with the rules, I just hope to get the forgiveness of the city lord, looking up at the smooth and shiny back of his head, Xiao Si's eyes flashed a trace of admiration.
Suddenly, there was a cry in the hall, "Woo woo!" Crying like an orangutan baboon, the voice reflected back and forth, a little eerie, Xiao Si couldn't help but shiver, I didn't expect the city lord to cry so badly.
I saw the bald man turn his head, it was like a big meatball piled with small meatballs, his face was full of meat, his eyes were squeezed into a slit, and on his neck and stomach, there were layers of flesh stacked, like a Maitreya Buddha.
If he laughs very kindly, but he is crying now, crying a lot, snot and tears, and his mouth is still muttering: "Stinky Mountain, why do you want to come on vacation! This is the first time I have taken a vacation in ten years! How can you be so ruthless, are you my nemesis! You can do it early or late! Why did you come today!" roared in the hall of the bald city lord, and the jade card was shaken.
Fortunately, Xiao Si is in the Jindan period, and he can cut off his hearing, which avoids the sound of the city lord, and since he has been in office for twenty years, he has long been accustomed to the way the city lord behaves.
When he was still a young man, when he was wandering the rivers and lakes, he heard a legend, and since then he has been obsessed with looking for the legendary master, and he has been gone for three years, crossing mountains and mountains, inquiring from all sides, and finally came to Xiangcheng.
Legend has it that there is a vicious beast in the north, as huge as a continuous snow-capped mountain, ugly appearance, fangs, bald hair is scarce, facial folds are very many, belonging to the appearance of children who will be scared to cry when they see it, every breath will bring the wind, destroy all kinds of landforms, a pair of eyes like the sun and the moon, the field of vision is extremely wide, this beast is called Nian.
The year beast is particularly delicious, no matter what beast has to swallow into the stomach, some people say that it has even eaten the dragon and phoenix, and I don't know whether it is true or not, but it is certain that the amount of food in the year is very amazing, and there is no living creature in the place where it passes.
There is already a shortage of food in the northern region, and if it is consumed by the year, there will be terrible consequences, and the Immortal Cultivation Sect began to intervene in it, and sent people to kill the New Year Beast in a row, but it was killed in several waves.
At this time, the immortal cultivators understood the power of the Nian Beast, and finally a god power went to recover it, but the hiding ability of the year beast was super strong, and it was impossible to find its traces at all.
The failure of the god made the Nian Beast even more arrogant, wantonly eroding every inch of land, and millions of people were swallowed, this is the bottom foundation of the northern region, once all of them are swallowed by the Nian Beast, there will be no new immortal cultivators in the north from then on, and then the fault appears, and the consequences are unimaginable.
The major sects finally couldn't sit still, gathered together, and sent ten cultivators with strong tracking ability to kill the Year Beast, and everyone pinned their hopes on this operation, which can be said to have attracted much attention and united in their hearts.
Preparation is foolproof, one by one the gods are also arrogant, they have their own names in the north, in addition to the rich rewards for joining this mission, they can also improve their own reputation and recruit geniuses for their own sect, why not.
What I thought in my heart was very simple, kill and leave, who knew that after searching for ten days and ten nights, I didn't even see the hair of the Nian Beast, and the ten people could only see the back of the Nian Beast together, but they couldn't kill it.
This matter affects the entire north, seeing this result, from the major sect masters to the dawn people, they all feel powerless and afraid, the strength of the year beast itself is not strong, and the yuan infant is complete, but its hiding ability has reached the level of the god, and it is not clear where it will appear from and where it will attack.
The whole area is plunged into darkness, burning and looting are everywhere, everyone pins their heads to their belts, and lives with the mentality of how long they can live, human nature is vividly and exquisitely displayed at this time, the evil thoughts buried in people's hearts are seduced, and all kinds of disgusting things follow one after another.
Even many disciples of the sect who maintained order were infected, and fear was like an invisible beast, devouring everyone's hearts and turning into a walking meat that could only be controlled by desire.
This time is called the Great Tribulation of the Northern Regions, to say why there is no strong person above the gods in such a big Northern Region, in fact, there is, the belt is guided to another world, to break through to a higher realm, there are very few things that can make them interfere on this big road, unless the Phantom Butterfly Continent collapses or something.
At this moment, a bald monk, a man who looked like a monk, came out of nowhere, holding a long rope the thickness of a thumb in his hand, and holding a beast at the other end, with snow-white and bulging small eyes, he was simply a snow wolf when he was a child, but there was a strand of red hair at the center of his eyebrows, which was somewhat different.
The man was bare-chested and exposed, covered in mud, as if he had not taken a bath for hundreds of years, his teeth were the whitest all over his body, and he couldn't see it with a smile on his face, standing on top of the current Xiangcheng, and said slowly: "I am a multi-beast Taoist, originally hidden in the mountains and forests to retreat and practice, such as today's disaster beasts, I have to come out, but this matter, I focus on cultivating exercises and spells against various spirit beasts, and I happened to be bumped into by me, and the year beast has been recovered by me, and you can rest easy." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and many immortal cultivators didn't believe it, and looked at the Xiangduo Beast Daoist with a questioning attitude, although the realm was in the stage of transforming into gods, how could the evil beasts that the ten gods could not help but be recovered so easily.
The Duo Beast Daoist seemed to see people's concerns, and without saying much, he tugged on the red rope in his hand and said: "Xiao Nian, come and apologize to all grandparents, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, younger brothers and sisters, and then you will be suppressed by me for a hundred years for the benefit of the Northern Regions, can you listen?"
Who would have thought that the little snow wolf hiding behind it was the year beast that gave everyone a headache, and they couldn't think about it, and they couldn't associate the terrifying year beast with their current appearance.
But the reality is often like this, the young beast took small steps, and a trace of sadness flashed in its round black eyes, walked in front of everyone, looked at the hatred in the eyes, lowered its proud head, and said: "I am willing to make up for my mistakes in a hundred years and a thousand years." ”
"Come back. The multi-beast Taoist said, the Nian Beast obediently walked back again, very obedient, and was able to domesticate the Nian Beast to this extent, this is a celestial man.
However, after the shock, it was accompanied by doubts, and many people said: "You must be a liar, how can the year beast be a snow wolf!" "That's right, that's right! At first glance, it's a snow wolf, are we stupid?" "I think he wants to be famous and crazy." ”
