Cultivation of immortals, the beginning of cultivating demons for ten years

Chapter 187 Nine Serenities
Orchid Town.

As soon as the group settled in an inn, they heard the sound of gongs and drums.

Hua Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Whose family is having a wedding?"

The waiter at the inn said, "Where is the happy event? This is the team sending the boy up the mountain."

When a group of people went downstairs, they saw a group of people beating gongs and drums, and the mighty group of people gradually went away under the escort of the government servants.

"Hey, I don't know which family's children will suffer again."

"I can't help it. If I don't offer tribute to Lord Qishan Lake, it will rain every day. How many people were drowned in the flood three years ago, and how many people were dragged away by the water monster. My son, have you forgotten?"

"How could I forget, my poor lady..."

Yan Ping stopped the old woman and said, "Old woman, what are you talking about about Qishanhushui Lord and the tribute!"

"This son is a foreigner!"

"People from Qingyang Mansion."

"Hey, the matter has to start three years ago..."

"So that's the case, this Laoshizi Qishanhushui Lord is too rampant."

"The people donate a virgin boy every half month. The boy is the lifeblood of a family, and it is to be passed on to the next generation. Who is willing to push their own child into the fire pit? There is no way. In the end, we can only draw lots. It’s bad luck if you catch it.”

The old woman left with the support of her son.She was introduced by someone that there was a widow in the east of the city, whose son was dedicated to Lord Qishanhushui half a year ago.My son also lost his wife, so he planned to go and see if the two of them could make do with each other.

Damn Qian Jinghong.

Yan Ping was furious.

It was he who learned about the existence of Wushan Old Ghost and Golden Water Lord from Qian Jinghong.

Unexpectedly, Qian Jinghong would dare to lie to him, why would he offer a boy boy every six months, if he hadn't come to Lanhua Town, he would never have known the truth.

For the sake of money, he actually allowed this Qishanhushui Lord to do anything wrong and disregard human life.

During the few years Qian Jinghong served as the Demon Slayer Guard in Huangshi County, it is unknown how many boys and girls were indirectly killed by him.

It seems that he was just skinned, and it would be too cheap for him to lose his cultivation base.

Death is his destination.

"Twelve, you go back and behead Qian Jinghong's dog for me."

"Yes, my lord."

"Xiaoyu, I have a mission, put on your normal clothes and follow me."

"Yes." Jiang Xiaoyu was overjoyed. Having a mission means meritorious deeds, and meritorious deeds can be exchanged for cultivation resources.

Jiang Xiaoyu went back to the house and changed into regular clothes and left with Yan Ping.

"What kind of luck is this little brat, he was called to go on a mission as soon as he arrived." Wu Mei Niang's tone was sour.

Hua Qianqian smiled and said, "Miss Wu, when Mister came to Lanhua Town this time, no one else brought you and Jiang Xiaoyu. It is impossible to just bring you out to see the world. I guess when Mister starts to deal with that old Wushan Ghost, it's time for you to show up."

"So that's the case, thank you sister for explaining my doubts."

East of Lanhua Town, Li Mansion.

"No, don't take my child away, don't, please, don't!" The woman hugged a five-year-old boy tightly with disheveled hair, and the big man in Tsing Yi opened her hands and lifted her aside like a chicken , Another man picked up the crying boy and strode away.

"Wuwuwu, mother, daddy, I won't go, I don't want to see Suicune, let me go, you bad guys let me go."

The boy struggled and cried.Brother Ah Shui next door even boasted to him last month that he was going to meet Suicune in the lake and brought him delicious food when he came back, but he hadn't seen Brother Ah Shui for more than half a month.

They are all lies, adults are all lies, the little boy knows that he will never come back like Brother Ah Shui.

Xu Shi, a big man in Tsing Yi, was annoyed by a hand knife that knocked the boy unconscious, so he picked him up and put him into the sedan chair.

The sorceress glanced at the sky, and said to Lanruo County Magistrate, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come, and you can start your journey."

Xu Haodong waved his hand, "Get up the sedan chair."

The festive trumpets sounded, and four big men in green clothes lifted up their sedan chairs and headed towards the south gate. Behind them was a group of dancing witches, holding bells, dressed in red and green like beggars with flowers, chattering and not knowing. What are you talking about.

The people carried the slaughtered pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock and fell behind the team.

A group of dozens of people walked towards Qishan Lake mightily.

"Give me back my child, you bloody god!" The woman grabbed and slapped her husband, who was like dead wood, his eyes glazed over.

What can he do, everyone is the same, does he still dare to disobey the county magistrate, disobey the customary tribute drawn by lot.

"What a crime, the Li family's child is only five years old!"

"It is said that the boy was born after they drowned three baby girls. He is the only son, and they expect him to carry on the family. Who would have thought..."

"It's better to be a daughter. I'm just a daughter. She's cute and cute. Daddy's call can make people's hearts melt."

"Can my daughter carry on the family line? If you don't give birth to a boy for me, I'll see if the old lady doesn't break your dog legs."

"Mother, what's wrong with my daughter, daughters are better than boys."

"Daughters are losers. Your mother is from the past. I don't know if it's better to be a boy or a girl?"

"Oh, mother, don't fight. In this situation, do you want to give birth to a boy as a tribute?"

The old woman was silent and sighed.

call out!A figure descended from the sky and blocked the way of the tribute team.

clang clang!The accompanying guards drew their knives out of their sheaths one after another, staring at the white clothes who suddenly appeared.

Wang Meng, the police officer of Lanhua Town, grabbed the handle of the knife with his right hand, and shouted in a deep voice, "Who is your Excellency, and why did you stop the tribute team!"

Yan Ping put Jiang Xiaoyu down, and took out the official seal.

Seal of the prefect of Chunjiang Prefecture.

real or fake?

Wang Meng looked at the head catcher.

Xu Haodong was so frightened that he quickly rolled down from the sedan chair, "Your Majesty is Yan Ping and Yan Wenjin."

Yan Ping's letter of appointment has already been distributed to all counties and towns in Chunjiang Prefecture.All the officials, big and small, in the officialdom of Chunjiang Mansion knew that after three years, Chunjiang Mansion finally ushered in a new mansion.

"It's Yan."

"Xu Haodong, the arresting head of the lower official Lanhua Town, has met the Fujun."

"I have seen the Fujun."

"Meet the lord."

After the arrester bowed, the common people also knelt down on the ground, and at the same time couldn't help but look up at the young man in white secretly.

Secretly clicked his tongue, such a young mansion probably belonged to some prince's heir.

"Get up."

Yan Pingdao, "In the past, Lanhua Town didn't have demon-killing guards. It is understandable for Xu Butou to surrender to Naqishanhushui Lord and agree to his request to collect tributes to keep the people of Lanhua Town safe.

But since I, Yan, are here, I will cancel this contribution to Qishanhushui Lord in the future. "

"Yes, Mr. Fu." Xu Haodong was respectful on the surface, but disapproved in his heart.

Three years ago, the previous governor also said the same thing. He led a demon-slaying guard from the Thousand Households to slay demons and eliminate demons. He thought he could eliminate harm for the people, but in the end, he was severely injured by Qishanhushui Lord and fled back.That night, a hundred ghosts went to Chunjiang mansion at night, sucking hundreds of people in the entire magistrate's mansion into human beings.

Originally, he could have been promoted based on his political achievements, but because of what happened three years ago, he became obsolete.

In the six years of arresting the head, he has been trembling, as if facing an abyss, as if walking on thin ice, but this is what he got.

It's a pity that the first level of the official rank crushes people, not to mention that the gap between him and Lord Yan is more than one level, what can Xu Haodong do, stop the Lord Yan in front of him from going to conquer Lord Qishanhushui!
Hey, Xu Haodong sighed in his heart, his official career in this life is considered to be over.I'm afraid that he can only die of old age in the position of headhunter in Lanhua Town.

"Let's go, take the child back."

"Just send the child back, and the team doesn't have to disperse."

Xu Haodong was puzzled, "Fujun, what do you mean?"

"I said that I don't need to pay tribute to Qishanhushui Lord in the future, but I didn't say that I don't need it today."

"But if the child is sent back, there will be no tribute!"

"Didn't I bring one?" Yan Ping touched Jiang Xiaoyu's head.

"..." Jiang Xiaoyu was dumbfounded.

The task that the Lord Fu said is to ask me to be the tribute to Lord Qishanhushui?
"My lord, aren't we going to subjugate demons?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked with a confused face.

"Yeah, I'm going to subdue the demon."

"Go up, you go and replace the boy."

"This..." Jiang Xiaoyu's throat became dry and he swallowed.

"My lord, since I'm subjugating demons, why do you want me to be a tribute? It's alright if I don't do it."

"Hey, I don't want to either, but who told you to be the only boy in the Hundred Households!"

"But Fujun, I, I will be eaten." Jiang Xiaoyu almost cried with tears in his eyes, no matter how mature and stable he is, he is still a child after all.

"Little fish, since you have become a demon-slaying guard and put on a python robe, you can't be afraid of death. Have you forgotten the oath of killing demons and helping justice?"

"I didn't forget, I just..."

"Okay, I've scared you, you're so cute, how can I be willing to let you die."

Jiang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, "I won't be afraid if the lord follows."

"Don't be afraid, I'll give you first-class merit when I come back, go up."

"Well, Xiaoyu is not afraid." Jiang Xiaoyu adjusted her clothes and got on the sedan chair with her head held high.

Yan Ping waved his hands, "Continue to play music, and continue to dance."

The festive music was played, the witches danced wildly, and the team set off for Qishan Lake again.

Qishan Lake is located on the mountainside of Qishan Mountain, with an altitude of 200 meters and a lake area of ​​65 square kilometers. It is rich in aquatic products and full of aura.

The tribute team traveled through mountains and rivers, and the mountain road was difficult. It took two hours to arrive at Qishan Lake.

It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and as far as the eye could see, the mountains and ridges were straight and criss-cross, the streams criss-crossed, the lake was clear, and the beautiful autumn scenery made people feel refreshed.

The people poured cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock into the lake and then hurriedly withdrew, as if there was something terrible in the water.Four big men in green clothes carried the sedan chair into the water and ran ashore as if fleeing.

Jiang Xiaoyu, who was already nervous, felt his heart tighten and his scalp tingle.

Fortunately, fortunately, Fujun will go down with me.

"Captain Xu, is that all right?"

"When the time comes, the water monster will come to collect the tribute."

"Fu Jun, this Golden Water Lord doesn't like me waiting here, do you think we should go back?"

"I'll go with you."

Jiang Xiaoyu's expression changed drastically when he heard the words, and he asked anxiously, "Master, don't you want to go down with your subordinates to subdue the demon?"

Yan Ping, "Xiaoyu, did your ear hear me say that I would go down with you?"

Jiang Xiaoyu was about to cry, "Fujun, if you don't accompany me down, what should I do!"

"Don't be afraid, although I didn't go down, my spirit is with you." Yan Ping took out a small suet jade sword and handed it to Jiang Xiaoyu, "This small sword is for your self-defense."

"Your Majesty, the boy boy will be searched before going down to the lake, not to mention that even a piece of iron can't carry the weapon."

"This is my natal magic weapon, and Golden Water Lord won't notice it yet, so you can rest assured."

"Why are you crying, take it, I will let you die."

Jiang Xiaoyu took the little sword with tears in his eyes, but before he could hold it firmly, the little sword turned into a strand of white hair and hid in his hair.

Baby that changes!

"My lord, this sword..."

"With it, you can keep your life safe. Go, my spirit is with you."

Not long after Yan Ping and Xu Haodong left, a vortex of water appeared, and Jiang Xiaoyu dragged them down with the sedan chair amidst Jiang Xiaoyu's screams.At the same time, those cattle, pigs and sheep were dragged down.

As soon as it entered the water, the white hair hidden in Jiang Xiaoyu's hair quietly lifted up, swinging from side to side to observe the situation under the lake.

The sedan chair is covered by a transparent water bubble, which isolates the lake water.

Four green-faced, long-toothed, huge, red-haired humanoid monsters prowled in the water carrying a sedan chair.

"Monster, monster!"

Hearing Jiang Xiaoyu's hysterical scream, Yan Ping was speechless for a while, but with just this courage, he still clamored to kill the demon every day, isn't that nonsense?

Just take this opportunity to practice your courage.

mountain road.

"My lord, what are you mumbling about?"

"Whispering, I didn't mutter anything, let's go, I'll treat Xu Butou to drink two cups when I get down the mountain, and ask Xu Butou to tell me about Montenegro."

"That will cost the Lord Fu, it should be a humble job to clean up the dust for you. But, Lord Fu, that boy is really your subordinate, wouldn't it be inappropriate to go down alone like this!"

"Don't worry, with the treasures I bestow on you, the chances of accidents are extremely small."

"Very small, that is to say, there is still a possibility of accidents?"

"There is no such thing as absolute safety in this world. If there is absolute safety, how can the Demon Slayer Guards recruit so many people every year? Since they are employed as errands in the Demon Slayer Guards, they must have the awareness to sacrifice their lives anytime, anywhere."

"Your Majesty's words are justified, the humble position has been educated."

This person surnamed Yan turned out to be a ghost who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

It's over, this time it's really over!
Xu Haodong decided to pack up his clothes and run away tonight, since he has no chance of getting promoted anyway.

After six years of headhunting, the money is enough.

After practicing martial arts for many years, I finally made a fortune as an official. Don't end up losing money before you start spending the money after you die.

Qishan Lake.

Lake Lord Mansion.

A young man in a golden robe sat cross-legged on the cold jade bed.

A trace of blue light overflowed from the body surface, and the blue light jumped like blue arcs, leaping and falling on the boy sitting cross-legged opposite.

The boy's face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, and there was no trace of anger in his body. It was obvious that this was the corpse of a boy.

As the blue electric arc fell, the boy's body swelled with blue blood vessels, and the icy aura surged, and the air seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

The young man in the golden robe opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of smiles, "No. 80 Jiuyou child corpses, there is only one corpse left to form the Xiao Jiuyou cold prison formation."

"Once the Xiaojiuyou cold prison formation is completed, this Qishan Lake can be transformed into a small Jiuyou cold prison, and then the Jiuyou family in the Jiuyou cold prison can be summoned for my use. At that time, I am also qualified to fight for it in this world." gone."

"Li Jianyu, at most one year. After one year, I will definitely step on your dead body and step onto the stage where the princes are fighting for hegemony."
