Surprised me into a goddess of light
Page 416
The villagers came to hear the news and gathered at the entrance of the village, but saw a huge stone weighing more than a thousand catties deeply inserted into the soil, with words engraved on it.
As the most literate village chief in the village, he went up to do some research and understood the meaning. Probably a dragon king came to Yunlai Village. The heavy rain for many days was a sign of the dragon king's coming, but the villagers were ignorant and did not treat the dragon king well. Angry, so the village lost 13 children.
As long as you offer tribute to the Dragon King and send the village's money, treasures, and food to the Dragon King's Cave in the east, the Dragon King will calm down and those children will come back.
The villagers are convinced of this. After all, in their eyes, anyone who can move more than 1000 catties of boulders to the entrance of the village is definitely not a human being. Whether it is a dragon king or a monster, they are not something they can disobey.
So the villagers hurriedly prepared a lot of chicken, duck, fish, money, grain, rice and noodles as tributes, and sent them to the cave in the east of the village, and set up a simple altar to kneel and kowtow.
Turns out, it does work.
The next day, the big rock at the entrance of the village disappeared, and none of the 13 children fell down, unharmed and unconscious in the stone pit.

Substitution "This monster is quite honest..."
I made a comment, but the owner of the tea shed changed his face in shock: "Oh, sir, don't compare the Dragon King with a monster. If the Dragon King gets angry, not only will you suffer, but our village will also be affected!"
"Okay, okay, boss, you can continue to talk, how is the Dragon King now, another child has been kidnapped in the village, do you want to pay him tribute?"
The boss sighed: "If this is the case, it will be easy to handle."
"Since then, the village has thrown children several times, but the Dragon King only punished and punished the children a little bit, and never really ate the children. As long as the money and food are sent to the Dragon King Cave, the children will all come back, so there is no need for the Dragon King to remind. Every [-]th day of the lunar new year, the village will pay tribute to the Dragon King. Although the burden is a bit heavy, it can barely bear it, but later..."
I asked, "Then what?"
The boss showed embarrassment: "Later, the Dragon King not only wanted fish and meat, money and food, but also sent a young girl who had not registered with the household registration every month, saying that she wanted to marry the Dragon King's son. Our Yunlai Village has a small population, so we will continue to send it like this. ..Hey, it's time to send a girl to the Dragon King again in these two days..."
I said, "Is there a girl ready to send in the village?"
The boss sighed again: "Who to send the girl to is decided by the village head leading people to vote. It has been prepared long ago, and it is time to send it there..."
I pretended to grope around from my pocket, and handed out half a silver coin without engraving: "Thank you boss for telling me, this is a little money for tea, you can go to work."
"Oh, thank you, guest officer! Thank you, guest officer!"
The owner of the tea shed took half of the silver coin and left happily.
In this kind of small village, you should pay attention to 'not revealing your wealth', not because you are afraid of being targeted, but to avoid trouble for yourself and your boss.
After dismissing the owner of the tea shed, I communicated with Xiao Ye and repeated the information I just learned.
"Xiao Ye, do you want to take care of this Dragon King?"
Shiliuye smiled faintly: "Do you still need to ask? Let's go to the village chief and follow the tribute delivery team to meet the Dragon King."
I hummed, although I can't handle the injustice in the world, but since I encountered it, I definitely can't ignore it.
"By the way, Eve, take the time to teach me the language of the Middle Ages."
"You want to learn the language here? But you curse that there is not much time left..."
Izayoi said, "It won't take much time."
I think so too, with Xiao Ye's ingenuity, it only takes a day or two at most to learn the language of Shenzhou Haotu, and you can achieve basic communication.
"Okay, then I will teach you later."
The two left from the tea shed, I asked a few words about the location of the village chief's house, and walked with Xiao Ye.
The village chief's house is no different from other villagers, except that there are about [-] villagers gathered at the door, several baskets of fish, meat and food, and a big red sedan chair.
"What a coincidence, just about to leave?"
Xiao Ye and I watched at the door for a few minutes, watching the group of villagers pack up the 'tribute', and then there was a girl in red, with a red cloth on her head, who was estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years old, stepped into the sedan chair, and was carried by four strong young men. rise.
A group of people carried bridal sedan chairs, brought tribute, beat gongs and drums, and marched towards the entrance of the village in a lively manner.
Shiliuye said: "It seems that there is no need to find the village chief, let's follow directly."
"Um..."
I stared at the girl in the sedan chair, and suddenly grabbed Shizayoi: "Wait, I have a good idea."
......
The villagers are all ordinary people, playing and playing, and carrying sedan chairs. The speed is not fast. After walking for more than an hour, they came to a deep cave in the east of the village.
This cave is not big, but it looks very deep, and the interior extends in all directions. Naturally, the villagers dare not go deep into it.
They put the sedan chair at the entrance of the cave, set up the table and altar, and bowed down according to the procedure. Then they called the girl dedicated to the Dragon King out of the sedan chair, and walked with a paper man with a dragon's head tied on.
After all the ceremonies were completed, the villagers left one after another, leaving only the girl kneeling in front of the altar.
She was dressed in red, with a red cloth on her head, and she was silent the whole time, and she didn't resist and run away.
Because she knew that running away was useless... Some of the girls sent before her tried to escape, but they were directly knocked out by the villagers, tied up, and thrown at the entrance of the cave, let alone resisting.
This girl is very smart. From the day she was selected as a sacrifice by the village, she has always been very cooperative, not crying or making trouble, and even expressed a look of expectation and honor for the Dragon King, so that the villagers respect her. The vigilance of her was much less, and the villagers did not restrict her behavior until she was sent to the entrance of the cave.
Now, she has been carried to the 'Dragon King Cave', and she still has no plans to escape, because let alone whether she can escape in the eyes of the Dragon King, even if she escapes and cannot return to the village, she is alone and displaced, and the situation may not be worse than that of the Dragon King. Where to die.
That's right, she has a will to die.
Because the villagers had no doubts, she found an opportunity to hide a pair of large scissors in her arms in the morning. No matter who the Dragon King is, even if she couldn't die with him, at least she would kill herself innocently.
At this moment, the girl was kneeling quietly in front of the altar, her right hand was already in her bosom, and she was holding the scissors tightly, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the comer at any time.
At this moment, she heard a clear and pleasant voice behind her.
"Hello, lady."
I walked behind the girl and just greeted her when she turned around suddenly, and a pair of large scissors were caught off guard and stabbed towards my lower body very quickly.
Because the girl is kneeling, there is only such an attack position at this height. Fortunately, I reacted quickly. Although it was a bit unexpected, I took a step back easily and avoided the 'sneak attack'.
Is the attack speed of ordinary people in Shenzhou Haotu so fast?It is comparable to Valoran's first-level speed-type occupation. If you are an ordinary magician, you may be injured if you are unsuspecting.
I was slightly surprised when I saw that the girl had stood up, threw the red cloth on her head on the ground, pointed the scissors straight at me, and glared at me: "Who are you, are you pretending to be the Dragon King!"
"No, you misunderstood."
Just in case, I took a step forward, snatched the girl's scissors into my hand, covered her mouth, and said in a low voice, "Hold down, I'm here to save you, the real dragon king is still in the cave, It’s not good to be heard by him.”
The girl stared and struggled, obviously not believing it, so I pulled off the mask and took a look at her.
Intimidated by her appearance, she froze and stopped resisting.
I threw away the scissors and said, "What's your name?"
The girl slowly came back to her senses: "...Yew."
At this time, Sixteen Nights came over.
I handed the girl to Shiliuye, and said: "Yew, you go with her first, she will protect your safety, and I will meet this so-called Dragon King for you."
Izayoi left with Yew as planned, while I put on a red coat, picked up the red cloth that the girl had thrown away, put it on top of my head, and walked to the altar.

A few minutes after Nirvana, subtle footsteps came from the depths of the cave.
Under the red cloth, I closed my eyes slightly, and listened intently. At the same time, I used my spiritual power to detect the past and observe the image of the person who came.
The spiritual power of a fourth-order powerhouse can be called "spiritual consciousness", which can extend tens of kilometers away and obtain visual effects that are no less than what you can see with your own eyes. Can scan out the general outline of the cave.
While scanning, I was still thinking whether the "Dragon King" of Shenzhou Haotu is a four-legged lizard-like dragon like Valoran, or a five-clawed golden dragon flying clouds and fog in previous myths and legends. As a result, the image of the person who came was not a dragon, but are people.
Not one, but three... three young men.
I heard that the monster clan in Shenzhou Haotu can transform into a human form without needing a fourth rank. Could it be that they are all incarnations of the dragon clan?
I mentally observe the appearance of the three of them, and perceive their strength at the same time.
The cultivation method of Shenzhou Haotu is different from that of Valoran. There is an energy form in their bodies that I have never seen before. It is similar to the fighting spirit extracted from cells, but it is not the same. It is a bit like the magic power free from heaven and earth. It is elemental in nature, like a modified version of grudge and magic.
Of course, although I have never seen this kind of energy, I can still tell the intensity. Among the three, the strongest energy fluctuation is only at the level of the first level, and the remaining two are only at the first level, which is quite weak.
"Suck~ Miss is so good, I'm waiting for the uncle here, looking at her figure, this time the goods are quite good..."
The man on the left looked impatient. He looked at the girl in red standing in front of the altar, and was about to grab her, but was stopped by the man in the middle, and said with a smile, "Hey, third brother, don't worry. The next time you and the fourth brother carried the tribute, this time the second brother will carry someone, and after the eldest brother enjoys it, we can all enjoy it!"
"Why do you let the elder brother use it first every time? When it's our turn, we will be left behind."
The fourth brother snorted coldly, and leaned into the ear of the man in the middle: "Second brother, you see, how about... let's try it this time first? Even if the eldest brother finds out, he will scold us at most, so it won't be a matter of time. The dying woman turned against us."
The man in the middle pondered for two seconds: "You cunning, what you say makes sense..."
"Second brother really understands righteousness. In order to prevent elder brother from finding out the abnormality, let's hurry up, hehe!"
The third brother laughed strangely, rubbed his hands obscenely, and was about to lift the red cloth from the girl's head, and the other two also smiled.
However, the next second, the three of them couldn't laugh anymore.
The girl took the initiative to take off the red cloth on her head with her left hand, and at some point in her right hand, a sword appeared. A long, pitch-black sword stretched out straight, and easily pierced the chest of 'Third Brother'.
With a puff, the black sword was pulled out.
"you you..."
The third brother was bleeding from his mouth, looked at the girl's beautiful but indifferent eyebrows and the black mask on her face, said two words and then fell to the ground, dying with regret.
The remaining second and fourth brothers also reacted, roared, and raised their fists to attack the masked girl.
The girl raised her foot and kicked out.
Bang!
With a bang, the fourth brother's butt was kicked by the girl, and flew back upside down, hitting the tribute table. The man who was about to fall apart flew more than ten meters away with the shattered table and scattered tributes. Obviously, he couldn't survive up.
The second brother didn't see the girl's movements clearly, so he was put on the neck by the black sword.
He immediately put down his fist, and fell to his knees with a plop: "Spare me! I know I was wrong. The matter in Yunlai Village was ordered by our elder brother, and it has nothing to do with me!"
I took a look at the two men who had died. They still looked like humans. There were no scales on their bodies, and there was no sign of turning into monsters. It seemed that they were indeed just humans...the so-called 'dragon' could not be so weak.
I said, "How many of you are there? Who is the Dragon King?"
'Second brother' obviously knows current affairs very well, and he spoke quickly: "There are four people in total! I am the second child, and the third and fourth child died just now. Besides us, only the eldest brother is left, and the Dragon King is the eldest brother!"
"Where is your eldest brother, he is a dragon?"
"Brother is in the cave. When we bring the tribute back, he...he is Xiao Xitian's master, and he is not a dragon!"
[Xiao Xitian] I heard before that it is the strongest practice sect near Yunlai Village. When the 'Dragon King' wanted a girl, the villagers in Yunlai Village wanted to ask Xiao Xitian for help, but the other side's mountain gate was too far away. , I couldn't find anyone at all, and it turned out...it was Xiao Xitian's people who were pretending to be ghosts?
I said, "Why do you pretend to be the Dragon King instead of robbing people directly?"
The villagers in Yunlai Village are all ordinary people. Although these villains are weak, they are at least practitioners. With a little cooperation, it is not a big problem to slaughter the village head-on.
The second child tremblingly said: "Brother said it is more convenient to use the name of the Dragon King, as long as you scare the villagers, they will not want to resist, but will take the initiative to send us food women..."
"Woman, I was wrong! I shouldn't pretend to be a monster, I shouldn't help the tyrant, but this is all the big brother's idea, the three of us are ordinary bandits, forced to obey orders, I, I will take you there Find big brother, don't kill me!"
I said, "Don't bother."
Light+Fire=Illusionary Magic's mental waves fluctuated, and the second child's expression suddenly became dull.
"Is what you just said true?"
The second child looked dazed and said, "It's...true."
"What strength is your elder brother?"
"I, I don't know, he is the true descendant of Xiao Xitian, he is much stronger than us, he may have already become a saint, and he has reached the Nirvana state above the Grand Master..."
Hearing this, I looked a little serious. The words 'transcendence to sage', 'grand master', and 'nirvana' seem very powerful. Could it be the name of the fourth rank in Shenzhou Haotu?
If it is Tier [-], considering that I am not familiar with the fighting methods of Shenzhou Haotu, I guess I will have to use the power of light to solve it...
Suddenly, I thought of another word and said, "Have you ever heard of Linshenjing? Is your elder brother Linshenjing?"
"Lingshen?! Whoops...just him?"
The second child showed a trace of fanaticism and yearning, and said: "That is above Nirvana, the top level of the mainland, a real land fairy... It is said that Xiao Xitian's suzerain is in the realm of the gods, even if you look at the entire Shenzhou Hao Tu is also the most powerful big shot, my eldest brother is at most Xiao Xitian's core disciple..."
Sure enough, Tier [-] is not a regular power in Shenzhou Haotu, but this little guy obviously has bad vision. Only Qing Yaoyin and Ye Xiao that I know are above the realm of gods, and even demigods.
So the Nirvana Realm Dragon King called Big Brother... is the third rank?
I knew it in my heart and said: "In this case, you can die."
A black sword pierced through the chest and pierced the body of the second child. He looked at me in astonishment and slowly fell to the ground.
I looked towards the deep cave, walked over his corpse, and walked straight in.
