Are you addicted to fairy? Just give it a try!

"Dragon King Temple..."

After paying for the wine, the young man got up and led the horse out of the restaurant. After asking around, he headed towards the Dragon King Temple in Heishui Town.

This person was Zhang Wei, who had received the task from his uncle Zhang Hui.

The reason why he was so concerned was not that he really wanted to be a tribute student, but that he just wanted a chance to leave Luyang and go to Yundu openly.

After all, Chuyunfang City was near Yundu. Whether he wanted to find the inheritance of refining equipment or wanted to exchange the 100,000 taels of gold in his hand for other cultivation resources. This Chuyunfang City was a must-go.

However, Chuyunfang City was a thousand miles away from Luyang City. Even if he, a cultivator, rushed to the road with all his strength, it would take three or four days to go back and forth. This was too troublesome, far less convenient than staying directly in Yundu.

So Zhang Hui and Zhang Xiong's arrangement was just what Zhang Wei wanted. And Zhang Wei didn't want to worry about his uncle and brother, so he decided to do this thing beautifully.

As for why he came to this restaurant?

In the feudal era, is there any place more suitable for inquiring about information than a restaurant?

And the result was very satisfactory. Zhang Wei successfully got the news. Although he heard some uncomfortable insect remarks, Zhang Wei, who has lived in this world for nearly 20 years, has become accustomed to it.

After all, if you really count, his Zhang family is also a member of the insect camp.

But habit does not mean acceptance. Zhang Wei, who thinks that although he can no longer be a successor, he has not completely lost his conscience. If he encounters such a thing, he will definitely take care of it.

At least, it makes him feel better.

The Dragon King Temple is in Heishui Town, so Zhang Wei arrived at the destination not long after. Looking at the temple that was obviously renovated recently, Zhang Wei couldn't help but curl his lips.

The spiritual consciousness spread out, and the range of 100 feet directly included the entire Dragon King Temple. Take the layout of the temple into your heart.

"Seven people... The six little ones in the basement are probably the children who were used as sacrifices, but the big one should be the Fairy Cai mentioned by the three guys."

Although Fairy Cai is called Fairy, she doesn't look like a fairy at all. She looks more like a vicious woman. She is so big and strong that people would walk around her if she stood at the entrance of the village.

Zhang Wei frowned. In his perception, Fairy Cai is no longer an ordinary person. He can clearly feel that there is a special power in her.

This power does not come from her, but it is more like a special method to temporarily store the power of others in her body. Once it is used up, it needs to be replenished.

The strength is not strong, which is equivalent to the level of the initial stage of Qi Refining. But this is equivalent to letting an ordinary person have the ability to wrestle with martial arts masters for nothing, which is quite interesting.

But this is not enough for Zhang Wei, who is already in the late stage of Qi Refining. He didn't even use the Shadow Hiding Talisman, and directly avoided the perception of Fairy Cai and easily touched the basement.

In the basement, six clean but pale and thin children huddled in a corner, their stomachs rumbling from time to time, looking so pitiful.

Zhang Wei covered his face and released a sound insulation, then walked out of the darkness and appeared in front of the six children.

As soon as Zhang Wei appeared, the six children trembled like frightened birds, staring at him with a pair of terrified eyes.

"Don't be afraid."

Zhang Wei smiled kindly, and took out several servings of dry food from the mustard bag and handed them to them.

"Here, eat."

The children who had been hungry for a day could not resist the temptation of food, and they crawled over, scrambling for food and stuffed it into their mouths.

At this time, Zhang Wei discovered that there were iron chains tied around the ankles of these children, which should be to prevent them from escaping.

Zhang Wei had no doubt that if the gang was not offering sacrifices to the Dragon King, but simply making a living sacrifice, they could simply break the limbs of these children. They were too lazy to even prepare iron chains.

Just when Zhang Wei was thinking about all sorts of things, an older boy asked while chewing a biscuit: "Big brother, are we...are we going to be servants for the Dragon King?"

Zhang Wei turned around, smiled at the little boy and said: "No. I'm here to tell you that you don't have to accompany that damn Dragon King. Nothing will happen to you tomorrow. Stay here safely for one night, and you can go home tomorrow."

The little boy pursed his lips and said: "But, will this make the Dragon King unhappy? If the Dragon King is unhappy, there will be a flood next year, and there will be no harvest in the town. Everyone will starve."

Zhang Wei smiled and touched the little boy's head, saying: "No, he won't be unhappy. I promise."

After the six children had eaten and drunk enough, Zhang Wei tapped their heads one by one, and let them fall asleep peacefully under the stimulation of the acupoints, so that they would not continue to be frightened all night.

After doing all this, Zhang Wei left the Dragon King Temple. During this time, Cai Xiangu knew nothing and was still reciting scriptures from nowhere to the statue of the Dragon King.

Riding north on horseback, Zhang Wei soon left the town and came to the bank of a river.

The river was ten feet wide, not big. It was a branch of a large river flowing out of the Yunmeng Lake, but it also nurtured hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the river. This is the Black Water River on which Black Water Town depends for survival.

But the water of the Blackwater River is not black, and I don’t know how it got its name. Anyway, when Zhang Wei came here, he found that the scenery here was pretty good.

But Zhang Wei was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery at the moment.

He tied the horse in the nearby woods, then found a place where no one was, and cast a water-avoiding spell to go into the water.

Going into the water with the water-avoiding spell felt like diving in the previous life, but it was more convenient than diving. But it also needs to withstand the water pressure from all directions. So the deeper you dive, the more it tests the cultivation of the immortal cultivator.

Fortunately, the Blackwater River is not very deep, and Zhang Wei can easily dive to the bottom of the river.

Following his memory, he came to the section of the river where the Blackwater Town held a lively festival last time, and Zhang Wei cast a spell again.

"Finding Qi Technique!"

Zhang Wei's vision suddenly changed, and strands of different Qi entangled in the river water, turning the entire vision into a ball of twine.

But in this ball of twine, there was an exceptionally thick and long one, and it was also lightly scarlet, which was very conspicuous.

"Sure enough, it's a monster..." Zhang Wei thought.

When Zhang Wei read the contents of the letter from his uncle Zhang Hui, he had some guesses. Blackwater Town has been peaceful for so long, and there have been no floods in the past ten years. It is not normal to hold a live sacrifice suddenly.

This is not a simple obscene sacrifice, but someone is planning behind the scenes to fool the villagers and extort money and blood food.

Judging from the current situation, the person behind the scenes is most likely the so-called Cai Xiangu and the demon creature that signed a contract with her and became her god.

"Sign a contract with the demon and then obtain the power of the demon. This method should be inherited from the Jishan Sect. So, it should be a lucky person who got a similar method from the Jishan Sect by chance?" Zhang Wei speculated based on the known information.

He did not suspect the Jishan Sect, because the Jishan Sect is tens of thousands of miles away from Linglong Domain. Jishan Sect, one of the five major sects, is so idle that it would throw a chess piece that is easily exposed in this unknown Blackwater Town?

Then Zhang Wei followed the aura of the monster all the way to the upper reaches of the Black Water River. After swimming for about seven or eight miles, he found that the aura of the monster was everywhere in the surrounding waters.

Especially in the lush water plants below, the traces of aura were crisscrossed, indicating that the other party was hiding there at the moment!

"The hiding place of that beast should be here. As for the strength of this monster..."

Zhang Wei opened his spiritual consciousness, and all the signs of creatures within a hundred feet were taken into Zhang Wei's eyes.

At this moment, the monster was quietly lurking in the lush water plants and sleeping. Its gray-black skin was perfectly integrated with the water plants. It could not be found with the naked eye, but in Zhang Wei's eyes, it was as eye-catching as a firefly in the dark night!

"Late stage of Qi Refining."

Zhang Wei was a little surprised, not because the other party was weak, but because the other party was too strong.

In Yun Country, a land controlled by Yunshang Sect and several foundation-building families, a monster actually cultivated to the late stage of Qi Refining. It is rare that it has not been killed by cultivators during this period!

However, unfortunately, the other party met me today.

"Dragon Lord, right? Get out!"

Zhang Wei shouted angrily, then waved his hand to take out a talisman and threw it into the water grass below.

Kakakaka...

In an instant, the sound of countless grass and trees breaking sounded, and countless hideous and twisted wood thorns emerged from the talisman and rushed into the water grass. Completely disrupting the calm riverbed!

"Roar!!!!"

A roar of pain suddenly came out from the surging mud and sand at the bottom of the river, and then a huge shadow rushed out.

Using the flesh to forcibly crush the countless wood thorns that stabbed over, but the body was also pierced with hideous blood holes by these wood thorns.

Seeing the main owner appear, Zhang Wei also observed the other party with interest. After all, this was also the first monster he encountered.

However, after seeing the true face of the monster, he couldn't help but sneer.

"I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be just a loach that has become a spirit. How dare it call itself the Dragon King?"

It turned out that this so-called Dragon King didn't even touch the edge of the dragon family, and it wasn't even a crocodile. It was just a loach that was magnified hundreds of times.

If that slender body was hiding under the water and making waves, it would be easy for the uninformed people to mistake it for the Dragon King.

"Roar!!!!"

As if it understood that Zhang Wei was laughing at it, the black loach monster immediately roared, and then its body popped out like a spring, rushing straight to Zhang Wei's head and biting it.

Zhang Wei raised his eyebrows, took out a golden melon hammer magic weapon with his backhand, and threw it at the head of the black loach monster that was rushing over.

Boom!

A muffled sound sounded under the water, and the head of the black loach monster suddenly sank. In pain, its huge and slender body twisted wildly under the water, stirring up countless mud and sand at the bottom of the river.

However, in Zhang Wei's spiritual consciousness, he found that this beast was actually swimming towards the bottom of the Black Water River under the cover of mud and sand.

"It's tough, but you want to escape? Dream on!"

Zhang Wei snorted coldly, swung the golden hammer again, and with the help of spiritual consciousness, accurately hit the black loach monster that was escaping downstream.

Boom!

"Roar!"

The black loach monster roared in pain, turned around and grinned at Zhang Wei.

But he also knew that the human being in front of him was not the children he had eaten before, but a ruthless person who could really kill him, so he didn't even have the intention to continue fighting, and twisted his body directly, intending to get into the mud at the bottom of the river. Escape and ascend to heaven.

Of course Zhang Wei would not go as he wished. When the black loach monster just made a move, he directly raised his hand and released a bolt of lightning at the black loach monster's torso.

Five Thunder Sword Curse!

boom----

Thunder exploded, and the black loach monster's torso was instantly blown open in half. Scarlet blood spurted out, dyeing a large area of ​​the river red.

The remaining body was twisting wildly in the raging thunder and lightning, which further accelerated the loss of blood.

Not long after, this black loach monster, which was in the advanced stage of Qi refining, died.

Standing at the bottom of the water, looking at the body of the black loach monster that was three feet long under his feet, Zhang Wei looked awkward.

Is this a win?

He won, and he won easily.

There is no thrill of fighting at all.

The whole process can no longer be said to have been suppressing the opponent. It can be said that the opponent was beaten to death by accident.

Because Zhang Wei didn't expect that his Five Thunder Sword move would directly kill this loach.

I still have a lot of methods that are useless!

"Forget it, never mind, as long as you win, it's fine."

Zhang Wei, who couldn't figure out why the other party died so casually, simply stopped thinking about it. He put the body of the black loach monster and the hidden money into a mustard bag and left the water.

Once you have solved these worries, you can get down to business without any worries!

The next day, just after dawn, Heishui Town came alive. Several strong men carried a large sedan and walked toward the Heishui River. In front of them, there were three people from Heishui Town. The patriarch of a large family, and the Dragon King Temple witch Zhu known as Cai Xiangu.

Behind them were hundreds of devout townspeople who came from Blackwater Town to participate in the sacrifice.

On the sedan chair, there were six sleeping children, maybe they had fainted from hunger. However, no townspeople woke them up at this time.

After all, as a sacrifice, it would be a blessing to be able to end one's life in one's sleep.

However, even this last happiness, there are still people who want to take it away.

"Wake them up! We are about to meet the Dragon King! How dare you sleep?!"

Cai Xiangu shouted in a high-pitched voice. The sound was like the sound of a dagger scraping against bones, which made people get goosebumps.

The patriarchs of the three major families next to him also shouted sternly when they heard this: "Why are you still standing there! Didn't you hear what the fairy said! Get these little bastards up quickly!"

The townspeople did not dare to disobey the three major families, let alone Cai Xiangu, and hurriedly shouted at the six children.

When the six children got up, rubbing their sleepy eyes, they saw pairs of eyes staring directly at them. The emotion in those eyes made them shrink back inside.

There are also children looking around outside, as if to find the person who gave them something to eat when they were so hungry yesterday.

But unfortunately there were too many people around and they were short, so they didn't notice anything. Not even their parents were seen.

Disappointment emerged from their eyes, and finally they sat blankly in the sedan chair as if they had accepted their fate.

"Xu He, are the tributes to Lord Dragon ready?" Cai Xiangu said bluntly to Xu He at this time.

"Ready, ready."

Xu He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said humbly, then waved his hand, and the servants who had been prepared immediately ran over carrying three large boxes.

Cai Xiangu opened a box and frowned when she saw the contents inside. He looked at Xu He and the others and asked, "Why are they all broken silver?"

“These are all contributions from the folks!”

Xu He quickly explained. At the same time, I was thinking nonsense, how much money do those idiots have? It's good to have broken silver. If you hadn't insisted on silver, I would have stuffed those copper coins into the box.

"snort!"

Cai Xiangu snorted coldly. She knew with her buttocks that Xu He and the others were doing the looting in her own name, but she had no intention of arguing with Xu He and the others now.

Ever since the county captain brought people here that day, Cai Xiangu knew that he could not stay in Heishui Town for long. If he continued, she would be exposed until the Luyang County Sheriff reacted.

The right way is to take the money and run away quickly.

"The auspicious time has come, let's send the sacrifices down the river!"

As soon as this was said, the servants quickly moved the money box and the tributes to the boat that had been prepared. The townspeople also took the six children with anklets out of the sedan.

While the townspeople were carrying the sacrifices, Cai Xiangu's hand hidden in her sleeves was secretly shaking a black bell, and a silent wave was released.

It's a tool for her to connect with her baby.

"Come on, my little darling! Eat these bastards to get better!"

Cai Xiangu looked at the six children with no pity in her eyes, but some indifference like looking at the pigs and sheep on the chopping board.

However, just when the townspeople were about to put away the boat ropes and push the tribute boat into the Blackwater River, a sudden sound came from the crowd of onlookers.

"Wait!"
