I, Guhuo Bird, am not an umbrella demon, please don’t disturb me

"Last time, didn't my aunt promise me something after memorizing that poem? I want to go and see it with Holly."

If I remember correctly, tomorrow seems to be some kind of River God Festival in Peach Blossom Town. The surrounding bandits have also been cleared away, and there are no monsters around.

Bai Qingyu thought of the disaster and opportunity of immortality, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement.

"it is good."

"Thank you, aunt. Holly will be very happy."

·

At the same time, the refugees in Taohua Town with their children were walking towards Li Guanren's house.

Thirty kilograms of grain for boys and 25 kilograms of grain for girls. This is an irresistible temptation.

It's not possible to feed him anyway, so why not exchange some food for Li Guanren's house.

They didn't know what Li Guanren wanted the child for, and they didn't care.

Continuing with the [-] words, I will update another chapter tonight depending on the status, please vote, thank you all!

Volume 19: Chapter [-] Harpies and Catfish Spirits

The river next to Taohua Town is called Luoxianhe. Legend has it that an immortal died here and his body formed the river. Anyone who drinks the river water will be immune to all diseases and even live forever, until one day a white dragon falls from the river. Entering it, the corpse rotted, causing the entire river to lose its divinity.

Many years later, this river has supported the entire residents of Taohua Town. It can be said that without this river, there would be no Taohua Town.

In this regard, Taohua Town has worshiped the River God in this river for generations, praying for the River God's blessing and safety.

It was late at night, and the carriage was slowly approaching. Two horses were pulling a huge wooden cage. The cage, which was originally used to pull livestock, contained more than a dozen young children. These young children were crowded together, with their hands and feet covered. Her mouth was tied and stuffed, so she could only make muffled cries.

It was late at night as we drove all the way, and the children's whimpers and cries accompanied the night wind like ghosts. It was like a ghost car driving on the road to hell. Even if someone found it halfway, they would not dare to go and check it out.

Tomorrow is the Festival of the River God. These children are said to be dedicated to the River God, but Li Guanren is not stupid. What if something unexpected happens tomorrow? The key is to have enough children to go directly to the catfish essence in exchange for treasures. Just tie some paper tomorrow Even if the person is finished, he will not be afraid when the bird demon comes.

The wheel creaked and stopped at the river, and soon Li Guanren arrived on horseback.

Standing in front of the river whose water level had dropped by an unknown amount, Li Guanren took out a bell and rang the bell. Within a moment, the river suddenly surged, water splashed everywhere, and a huge black shadow slowly emerged from the bottom of the water. People are shocked.

"Lord River God, I have brought the child you want."

Whoa!

The water splashed, and the huge catfish stuck its head out of the water and said, "Give me these children first."

The specific appearance of the catfish spirit could not be seen clearly in the dark night, but Li Guanren felt a cold catfish tentacle suddenly wrap around his ankle. Li Guanren felt a chill in his heart. He knew that if the catfish spirit even thought about it now, he would die. At that time, all the children in the cage will be his.

"Here, come on, hurry up and open the cage!" Li Guanren's fat face was covered with beads of sweat, his fat body was trembling and he roared angrily.

The servant standing in front of the cage immediately opened the cage, and before he could throw the child into the river, a catfish tentacle wrapped around his ankle and suddenly dragged him into the river, unable to even utter a scream. come out.

The river turned red, and the turbulent water surface returned to calm.

"Lord River God, Lord River God, this is just the first batch. I can provide you with more in the future!"

The catfish tentacles were still wrapped around the ankles.

Li Guanren was completely anxious.

"Not only is there a child, there is also a monster. As long as Lord River God eats her, he will be greatly nourished and even become an immortal directly!"

"go on."

"It's a bird demon. It has demonic power and can transform into human form. It's an absolute tonic!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Li Guanren was dragged to the ground by the catfish tentacles and dragged into the water. The catfish spirit in the water said angrily, "Transformed monster, do you want to see both me and her lose?"

"No, sir, you are wronged. Sir, that is just a bird demon. How can it be your opponent if it enters the river?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Guanren's dragged body stopped. Seeing that there was something going on, Li Guanren hurriedly spoke, "I have a way to get her into the water. Please believe me once!"

The catfish tentacles were finally released, and Li Guanren breathed a sigh of relief.

The dull and hoarse voice of the catfish spirit in the water, like the roar of a beast, came again, "I am very dissatisfied with these children. They are too thin. They are all too thin. However, if you can trick this bird demon into the water, I can kill you." I’ll give you what you want.”

Li Guanren got up from the ground like a dog. Li Guanren wiped the sweat from his forehead. When he heard the following words, the strong desire to survive was quickly taken over by desire.

"Yes, sir, I will definitely satisfy you."

Li Guanren turned around and walked up, narrowing his small eyes to a slit. Regardless of the neighing of horses, the sound of the carriage being dragged into the water, and the rough waves behind him, he rode on his horse and ran quickly towards Taohua Town. .

Not long after, a fast horse set off from Taohua Town and its destination was the county seat more than 30 kilometers away.

Official Li asked someone to find the monk stationed in the county. He didn't need the monk to come over, he just needed a token from the monk.

The catfish spirit obviously wants to use him as a long-term meal ticket. If this continues, let alone the elixir, his own life will be affected. Tomorrow, on the River God's Day, he will find a way to get the bird demon to come over, and then go into the water and fight the catfish spirit.

On land, the harpies are obviously much more powerful than the catfish spirits. One can transform and the other cannot.

But it was different when he got into the water. He didn't believe that the harpy in the water could still win.

The catfish spirit will definitely be seriously injured by then. At this time, all I have to do is tell it that there is a monk in Peach Blossom Town, and then take out the monk's token to scare it. If you don't give it the elixir, it will die. When the time comes, it will definitely give it. As long as you get it Eat the elixir immediately. When he becomes an immortal, he will definitely skin and cramp this catfish spirit!

As for what if the Harpy wins.

Li Guanren did not believe that this was possible, but he was also prepared. As long as he let the victims do their work tomorrow and exclude himself, the harpy would only vent its anger on these victims when it came back.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night. Official Li ordered his servants to run around the town according to his instructions. News came out one after another, and more than ten children were exchanged for food and loaded into the carriage.Yesterday, Li Guanren was so angry that he let the victims rob the child, and then guided the mother whose child was robbed to go to Shiwanda Mountain to find the harpy.

After struggling until three or four in the morning, Li Guanren finally had time to lie down, "It's been almost eight years, and I won in the end. It's a pity that I didn't find your daughter, otherwise you will regret it."

The townspeople all know that Li Guanren came eight years ago, and the previous official named Lin disappeared somewhere.In fact, under the pursuit of Li Guanren, the Lin family had to hide in the mountains and forests. The head of the family and his wife were killed by tigers, as was the eldest son. Only the youngest daughter's whereabouts are unknown.

"Okay! We can finally go down the mountain!" After Dongqing heard the news in the morning, her eyes suddenly widened and she almost jumped out of bed. She hugged Bai Qingyu, hugged her and kissed her twice. .

"Auntie is the best! I love auntie!"

"Oh oh oh!"

It can be seen that the little girl is a little too excited.

It’s understandable when you think about it. I have lived in the mountains and forests for almost eight years and have never been in contact with human society. Today I am finally going down the mountain!

Bai Qingyu felt somewhat helpless seeing the little girl's happy look.

Not only does she want her children to see the outside world, but she also wants to take this opportunity to let them know what it means to be dangerous.

Please vote, I will do the handstand splits for everyone!

Yesterday I agreed to do the third update, but unfortunately I didn't stick to it, so I'll just treat it as a debt and pay it back after the first update!

Volume 20: Chapter [-] Sacrifice!

Early in the morning, gongs and drums were being played in Peach Blossom Town, and someone thought someone was getting married.The convoy was lined up in a long line. They were all Li Guan's carriages. A red ribbon hung from the beginning to the end of the convoy. The first two carriages were pulling slaughtered pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and other livestock, the middle was pulling live livestock, and the last carriage was pulling live livestock. Inside the carriage was a wooden cage, filled with children whose hands and feet were tied to death.

Before the convoy even set off, it was already surrounded by people, mostly victims of the disaster.

Dozens or hundreds of people stared at the small amount of meat pulled on the carriage. The desperate cries of the children in the rear did not attract the attention of even one of them. Those who could gather around here were basically incited by Li Guanren. They don't care about the safety of their children, they only care about whether the river god can give them food.

No one stood up to denounce, and no one went to save the child. Some people with conscience could only stand and stare from a distance, sighing silently.

The famine has lasted for so long, who knows how much longer it will last.

There is simply no way to feed a child in this world. If the child is kept, either the child will starve to death or the whole family will starve to death. If the harpy hadn't brought wild fruits and some cakes to the children these days and helped them see a doctor, the people in the carriage would If the child is half dead from talking, there is no chance of sacrificing it to the river god.

Li Guanren glanced at the time, it was almost the time when the bird demon came.

Sitting leisurely in the mansion, he waved his fat hand, and immediately some servants ran out in a hurry. Not long after, the motorcade in Taohua Town began to set off. The priest standing on the carriage at the front picked up his magical weapon and shouted something. They are words that are incomprehensible.

The shouts of the sacrifices, the sound of the carriage, and the cries of the children behind were all combined together. What was even more strange was that the group of refugees following the motorcade did not say a word, and they uttered something like the roar of wild beasts. His voice and his eyes were full of enthusiasm and expectation. He was trotting along behind the convoy. It was impossible to tell that these people had been hungry for such a long time.

Li Guanren told them that as long as they sacrifice their children with devotion and let the River God feel their apology and remorse, they will not only end the drought but also bring them glory and wealth. If the River God does not accept it, then they will only lose some money and nothing if they fail. Children who are successful will enjoy happiness if they succeed.

The river god brings blessings to everyone, so he must be better than the so-called bird fairy, right?

This group of people agreed without even paying for the food and without showing them the benefits.

It can be said that so many people who came here are convinced of this. The interesting thing is that among so many people, few are the aborigines of Taohua Town. A group of refugees are going to replace the people of Taohua Town for generations. People living here receive the blessing of the river god.

Not only that, this group of people also occupied the houses of Taohua Town residents, and even went so far as to steal their food and wives and daughters.

During his time in Taohua Town, Bai Qingyu discovered that there was considerable conflict between the aborigines and some of the refugees who had fled.

Watching the motorcade go away, Lin Laodao counted his fingers, sighed quietly, and silently returned to his small thatched house.

The little monk, who had grown into a teenager, opened his eyes from the futon and said, "Master, have you figured out what happened again?"

"It is said that God's will is difficult, but no matter how difficult God's will is, it cannot stop some people from seeking death."

"?" The little monk looked confused, what was the master talking about?

Master has always been an easy-going person, but it is rare to see him speaking in this tone and tone. Isn't it usually about secrets that cannot be revealed?

·

In the forest, Bai Qingyu was carrying two baskets. On the left, he sat in the small basket and looked around. Little Holly couldn't contain his excitement no matter what. On the right, he sat with his eyes closed but would open his eyes to take a look every 2 minutes. Little immortals around.

When going down the mountain this time, Bai Qingyu didn't want to do anything to help Taohua Town. He just took his son to see what the so-called River God Festival was like, and to see that the outside world was far less beautiful than they thought. Instead of worrying about it all the time, it was better to be vigilant.

"Auntie, look there's a monkey!" Holly pointed to a monkey on the tree.

"I saw it."

"Auntie, look out for the big white snake!"

"I saw it."

"Hey, what is this snake doing? Look, aunt."

Bai Qingyu looked sideways in the direction the little girl pointed, and saw a white snake coiled on a stone, holding its head high and opening its mouth wide, as if it was absorbing something. There was a light mist surrounding the snake's head.Bai Qingyu narrowed her eyes. Others didn't know that she was too familiar with it. This snake was actually absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The white snake is not big, its body is less than one meter, but its snake eyes are particularly spiritual. When Bai Qingyu stopped to observe it, it actually knew how to lower its body to show submission, and did not run away directly.

At its speed, it was definitely not faster than Bai Qingyu, and a small stone could kill it.

"What a smart snake!" Holly's eyes widened, "Auntie, is it nodding to us?"

"Almost." Bai Qingyu turned and left without paying much attention. A ray of demonic power clung to the white snake's body and could sense its position at any time.

After an episode, Bai Qingyu jumped into the air in a few steps, leaping more than ten meters, walking as if he was flying.

After leaving the mountains and forests, there is Taohua Town ten kilometers away. It is not far and cannot be said to be close.

When I came out of the forest for the first time and saw the complete sky that was not blocked by leaves, even Chang Sheng, who had a mature and steady personality, couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Everything around is so attractive. The dry rice fields and the yellow earth are really a different world compared to the valley where we live.

The bird demon used its demon power to cool down the two little guys. Summer has not yet passed, and the temperature outside the mountain is very high.

Not long after, the two little guys' attention shifted from the sky to the Peach Blossom Town in the distance.

"Is this the outside world..."

"Chang Chang Sheng, look quickly, there are many houses, all of them look the same. There are people below."

"Why does it feel so desolate? What do people outside usually eat?"

Holly chattered non-stop, Changsheng could only watch and agree.

Bai Qingyu said nothing, focusing entirely on a motorcade by the river.

She had learned about the River God Festival, and it was said that the sacrifices were made of paper figures, and the others were just some slaughtered livestock, or at most a few pigs pushed into the water.

However, in her sight, the paper figures that were really being sacrificed were clearly living people, and they were still young children!

Bai Qingyu felt angry in his heart. This group of people actually wanted to sacrifice so many children to the so-called river god?

Bai Qingyu was not sure whether the River God would bless them, but what was certain was that these children with chains tied to their bodies would definitely die.

The two cubs felt their speed suddenly increase and they fell downwards.

·

Catfish spirit is a little impatient.

The children on the shore were just appetizers. He wanted to know where the so-called harpies were. Eating fifty children was not as good as swallowing one monster.

The catfish spirit is also thinking that if he can drag this bird demon into the water, he will definitely win.

As soon as the thought came out of his mind, he felt a soaring demon force in the distance rushing towards it, and the catfish spirit was shocked.
