Longevity starts with eating monsters

Chapter 54: Shili Water Village, Bibo Dragon King

Bibotan, located in the Shili Water Town of Guanzhong Prefecture, was actually nothing special.

However, ever since the three dragon kings of Qingsha River Dragon Palace took over, Bibotan immediately became famous and became one of the most dangerous places in Guanzhong Prefecture.

However, unlike many demons, this Three Dragon Lord Chilong has a very deep relationship with the martial arts sects in Guanzhong Prefecture. He is happy to communicate with all the sects, no matter how big or small. Therefore, he has an unexpectedly good reputation in Guanzhong Prefecture, and often has business dealings with those sects.

In addition to this, Chilong has a special hobby: holding birthday parties.

Although as the king of dragons, Chilong's lifespan is often counted in hundreds of years, it still likes to hold an unprecedented birthday banquet every year.

And today is the birthday banquet of Lord Dragon.

Because of the good reputation of Bibotan and the power of Qingsha River Dragon Palace, many forces came to celebrate the birthday. It can be said that half of Guanzhong Prefecture came.

At this moment, the area outside Bibotan was bustling with people and decorated with lanterns. A large number of people from the Shili Water Village were waiting for this day to open their businesses and make a fortune. Every household displayed the statue of the Dragon King, and hundreds of boys and girls were dressed up and lined up in a long line.

Each boy held a white lamp in his hand.

At the place closest to Bibotan Lake, there is a stone tablet as tall as a mountain rising from the ground. It is the Zhenjiang Stone known to everyone in the Shili Water Town.

"If we want to talk about the Zhenjiang Stone, we have to mention our Dragon King."

By the Bibotan Lake, an old man was telling a story to his grandson who was dressed as a boy.

"More than a year ago, the imperial court was unjust and a great disaster struck. Our Shuixiang was also affected. I don't know how many people died. It was really impossible to survive at that time."

"Fortunately, the Dragon King is here."

"Now that the Dragon King has arrived, our water village will be at peace."

"When the Dragon King comes, there will be wind and rain."

"But the Dragon King's grace is not in vain, so he built a Zhenjiang Stone beside the Bi Bo Lake to suppress the water veins of our water town."

"If the Zhenjiang Stone breaks, the whole water town will be flooded!"

"In the past, if the Zhenjiang Stone shook a little, our water town would be flooded. At this time, we needed to hold a celebration to please the Dragon King and ask him to help stabilize the Zhenjiang Stone. Once the Zhenjiang Stone was stabilized, the disaster immediately receded, so the Dragon King's merits were immeasurable."

"Besides, the Dragon King never eats people. The people in our water town all died in the flood. If there were no Dragon King, I don't know how many more people would have died."

"Grandpa, Grandpa~"

After hearing the story, the boy said innocently, "How many times has the Zhenjiang Stone shaken in this year?"

"More than fifty times!"

At this point, the old man was immediately filled with grief: "There have been more than 50 floods, and there were none in the past few years. This is all because of the unjust government!"

"Eh?"

The boy bowed his head, tilted his head, and said with a puzzled look: "So, after the Zhenjiang Stone was erected, our water town has suffered more floods."

"Shh!"

Before the boy finished speaking, the old man slapped his palm hard and said, "What do you know, kid? That's the court's fault. If it weren't for the Dragon King's Zhenjiang Stone, there would definitely be more!"

"Oh"

At the same time, in the center of Bibotan, as the water rolled apart, a Dragon Palace rose from the bottom of the lake to welcome the Guanzhong Prefecture sects who came to celebrate the birthday.

Among all the sects, three are the most prominent.

"Master Minghui of Wuyou Temple, I'll give you a string of Buddhist beads!"

"Qinghe Sword Sect, Qianliu Sword Chen Huairen, gives me a Bailian sword as a gift!"

"Danhuoshan Villa, the third shopkeeper Liu Wanwan! Send a golden dragon sculpture!"

Wuyou Temple, Qinghe Sword Sect, and Danhuoshan Villa are the three top forces in the underworld of Guanzhong Prefecture, and each of them has a master of the realm of transformation in charge.

The people who came to celebrate Chilong's birthday were also well-known high-ranking officials from the three forces, and their cultivation was also perfect Yin Fu, which showed their importance to Bi Bo Tan. In addition, various first-rate and second-rate forces came in an endless stream, and the wide Dragon Palace seemed a little cramped.

Sitting on the main seat of the Dragon Palace, there was a man in gorgeous clothes grinning broadly. He was actually a Chilong in human form.

"Master Minghui, I haven't seen you for a long time. It has been a month since I last went to your temple to listen to the sutras. I wonder when your temple will invite me to visit again?"

"Manager Liu, you are too polite. I hope you can take care of our business in the future."

"Brother Chen, you and I must get drunk today."

"Hahaha!"

"I am overjoyed that my fellow martial artists are willing to come and celebrate the birthday of this old Dragon King. I won't say much, it's all in the wine, this is a toast to you all!"

After the polite words, the birthday banquet officially began.

Well-dressed boys and girls were sent in one after another to add tea and water for everyone present. Soon after, various aquatic monsters, such as Beiji and the clam girl, swarmed in, dancing gracefully with their seductive voices lingering in the air. The Chilong, who had transformed into a human form, even sang loudly in public, and the entire Dragon Palace was bustling with activity.

After a while, Chilong left the banquet and came to the backyard of the Dragon Palace, using the excuse that he was too drunk. There, someone had been waiting for a long time. It was Chen Huairen, the "Thousand Flow Sword" of the Qinghe Sword School. When he saw Chilong, he immediately bowed and said:
"Meet the Dragon King."

"Brother Chen, you are too polite. We are no match for each other." Chilong grinned.

"The Dragon King doesn't seem to be worried at all?"

Chen Huairen looked solemn and whispered, "Lord Silong, the Snake Dragon is dead!"

"Just die."

Chilong waved his hand. Of course, he also knew about the killing of Qilong. But the four brothers had already separated, so why would they care about it now?

However, Chen Huairen could not contain his nervousness and continued, "The person who killed it was the new inspector of the Prison Department. Isn't the Dragon King worried? I suspect that the Prison Department knew about that incident, so they took action against the four Dragon Lords. If I guess right, the next one might be you!"

"I?"

Chilong pointed at himself and laughed, "Brother Chen, you are exaggerating. We have always kept that matter secret. How could the prison warden know about it?"

"But."

Chen Huairen still couldn't hide his doubts.

After all, this involves a secret transaction between Qinghe Sword Sect and Qingsha River Dragon Palace. If it is exposed, it will definitely severely damage the reputation of Qinghe Sword Sect.

If not for this, he would not be in a hurry to meet Chilong in private.

However, Chilong still didn't care.

"Even if we take a step back, my cold pond is as solid as a rock. I don't think the prison warden can get in!" Chilong waved his hand, his words full of confidence.

"In any case, let's suspend this transaction for now."

Chen Huairen continued, "After we find out the details of the new censor, we will try to get rid of him. Don't worry, Dragon King, it won't take too long."

"What are you going to do about it?"

Chilong still didn't believe it: "Kill him?"

"."

Chen Huairen was somewhat speechless. Demons were demons, they only knew how to fight and kill… But he still forced a smile and explained to Chilong: “Killing someone is too risky. After all, he is the inspector of the prison department. If we really kill him, the prison department will definitely make great efforts to deal with us.”

"But the Warden is not without enemies."

"For example, the Investigation Bureau!"

At this point, Chen Huairen gradually calmed down. "I plan to use this birthday banquet to persuade the Guanzhong martial arts community to collectively boycott the Prison Administration! At the same time, I have already contacted the pacification envoy of the Investigation Bureau, Lord Feng Baofeng. As soon as we start, the Investigation Bureau will immediately intervene."

"Let the detective agency and the prison department fight each other."

"We can use the power of the Investigation Bureau to drive the Prison Warden out! Replace him with a force that knows how to respect and understand the difficulties faced by all parties in Guanzhong Prefecture. Isn't that wonderful?"

"Good! Good! Good idea!"

Having said this, the man and the dragon looked at each other and laughed heartily.

It seems that after today, the weather in Guanzhong Prefecture will probably change!

At the same time, outside Bibotan.

Lu Chen, wearing the black cloak of the Prison Warden, stood on a cliff, gazing at the Bibotan Lake in the distance.

And this time, he wasn't alone.

Behind him, a large number of monster hunters swarmed out. Lin Haoyuan, Wen Bai, and Pei Qinhu stood at the front, with a look of trepidation on their faces.

"Sir, would you mind waiting a little longer?"

Lin Haoyuan said cautiously, "The Chilong is holding a birthday banquet in the Bibotan Lake. It can hide in the bottom of the lake at any time. How about we wait for it to come out before taking action?"

"Need not."

After learning about the situation at Bibotan, Lu Chen said calmly, "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Holding a birthday banquet? It's just right to hold a funeral banquet for it as well."

“Just have it as a main course.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen took out a large bow from his back. The bow was shaped like a real dragon, with a blood-glowing bowstring tied between the dragon's head and tail.

Then he took out a long arrow and gently placed it on the string.

Panlong divine bow, Pogang divine arrow!
The next second, Lu Chen drew his bow and pointed the arrow into the sky, aiming at Bibotan from afar.

Almost at the same time, inside the Bibotan Lake, the laughter of the Three Dragon Lords Chilong came to an abrupt halt. He looked up in horror, but his vision was filled with a golden light, as if he saw the daylight!
