Fairy on top

Chapter 35 Sacrifice
The man who invited me was He Yizhou, and he took me to his house.

Along the way, the villagers surrounded me with smiles on their faces, which showed that they were very happy that I could come.

In the resort before, the villagers welcomed me very well, but it didn't look like this.They seem to be overly enthusiastic, which makes people feel a little strange.

I looked at Yu Chen suspiciously.

Yuchen also seemed to find it strange, so he told me that he went to the village to have a look.

Then it disappears.

Because I have been with He Yizhou all the time, in He Yizhou's eyes, Yu Chen only sent us to the train station. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Yu Chen followed me invisibly, which made it easier for him to move.

He Yizhou's house is also an earthen house, which is too dilapidated.There are big cracks in the wall, which looks like it will collapse at any time.The door was a dilapidated wooden door, hanging diagonally from the door frame and not working at all.The windows were made of wood with paper pasted on the frame, but the paper was also torn.The whole house doesn't look like it can live in people.

The house is not big, with a total of three rooms, and a wooden table and three long benches are placed in the living room in the middle, which are new.

At this time, sitting in the living room was a middle-aged woman, a beautiful woman in her twenties, and a girl in her fifteenth or sixteenth year.

He Yizhou saw off the villagers and introduced them to me as his wife and two daughters.

The mother and daughter are wearing sister outfits, all off-white dresses.Coincidentally, this dress is also in the wardrobe that Yu Chen bought for me. I have seen the tag, and the price in the mall is more than 3000.

Coupled with the fact that Mrs. He is well maintained and looks only in her early thirties, it is hard for me to believe that this family lives here.

I looked at He Yizhou and said unhappily, "He Yizhou, if you want me to help you, you have to tell me the truth. If you still hide it, I won't care about you. I'm leaving now."

I took the risk to help him see things, but he lied to me, and I really didn't want to care about him.

Seeing that I was angry, He Yizhou hurriedly said, "Xianggu, I didn't lie to you. Although we have left here long ago, every five years, everyone in the village, no matter how far or near, has to come back to participate in the sacrifice. We have also thought of everyone If you don’t come back, you will never sacrifice to the river god again. But in the year when you stopped offering sacrifices, the whole family who wanted to marry their daughter to the river god died. Not only that, but some of us villagers’ families also died. People died in every family. Fairy, there is no such coincidence in the world, this is the river god's revenge on us."

"Yes, Xiangu, you must not leave." Mrs. He said, "My youngest daughter is only 16 years old, you must save her."

Maybe because she knew what was going on with offering sacrifices to the river god, the youngest daughter was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Mrs. He comforts her little daughter.

He Yizhou said to me, "Xianggu, you must be very tired after we have been riding for a whole day. We will have dinner right away. After eating, you can rest for a while."

After all, He Yizhou's family is not a real mountain person, and his family is considered rich, so the dinner is very rich, and they are all packed meals from the restaurant.

While eating, I looked outside, it was already dark, Yu Chen hadn't come back yet, and I didn't know where he went.

I asked He Yizhou about the situation in the village.

He Yizhou told me that the origin of the name Hualongling is said to be that a long time ago, there was a snake who had cultivated himself and ascended into a dragon here.After he ascended successfully, he threw away his mortal body, which fell to the ground and turned into a river.This river is at the end of the village where it enters the mountain pass, and it is called the Dragon River.The river god that He Yizhou they talked about is in this river.

I have never heard that after becoming a fairy, one will throw away one's original body.I've never heard of a body that can turn into a river when it falls to the ground.This is indeed a legend, pure nonsense.

I didn't take the story to heart either.

After dinner, I originally wanted to go to Longhe with Yuchen after he came back.But before he came back, I was so sleepy.I thought it might be because I was too tired from the car ride all day, so I didn't think much about it, so I listened to He Yizhou and went to the back room to rest.

I was sleeping in a daze, when I suddenly felt shaking from under my body, like an earthquake.

earthquake? !
I woke up suddenly, opened my eyes and found that I was not at He Yizhou's house, but by the river.

My hands and feet were tied, and I lay flat on a bamboo raft. Beside me were fruits, wine, a pair of dragon and phoenix candles, and a lot of paper money and gold ingots.The clothes on me were also changed, and I was wearing a wedding dress made of red paper.

By the river, the villagers knelt on the ground and kowtowed to me, preparing to kowtow to the river.

Until now, there is nothing I can't understand.They are taking me as a sacrifice to the river god!

I found He Yizhou among the crowd and shouted angrily, "He Yizhou, I came to save you, and you're doing this to me?!"

He Yizhou looked at me with a guilty conscience, "Xiangu, I can't do anything about it. I invited three masters before, but they not only disappeared, but also angered the river god. Tonight is the deadline for the sacrifice. Xiangu, you With the protection of the Xian family, you will be fine, but if it is my daughter, my daughter will die. Xiangu, you came here to save my daughter, right? ?”

"You big-headed ghost!" I cursed, "put me in a coma and make me a sacrifice, you call this saving people?! He Yizhou, if I don't wake up and fall into the water, I will be drowned! "

He Yizhou ignored me.

The bamboo raft floated farther and farther in the water, and I knew that since the villagers had put me on the boat, it would be impossible for them to let me go.I shouted, "Where's my talisman? Where's the yellow talisman in my pocket?"

It's a life-saving thing, you can't throw it away.

It was already midnight, relying on the moonlight and the few torches lit by the villagers, I could no longer see the expressions of the people on the shore.

I didn't hear He Yizhou's answer for a long time, I thought he didn't find the yellow talisman in my pocket at all, and was disappointed, when I heard a little girl's voice suddenly came from the shore.

"Xianggu, the yellow talisman in your pocket, I put it under the fruit plate for you, just press it with an apple, look for it!"

Hearing this, I hurriedly overturned the apple plate, and there was a yellow talisman on the bottom of the plate.

I picked up the yellow talisman.

At this time, the bamboo raft suddenly floated into a puff of thick smoke, and the surroundings were so white that nothing could be seen.At the same time, all the sounds on the shore disappeared, and the surroundings fell into a strange silence.

I nervously clenched the talisman in my hand and shouted, "Yuchen! Yuchen, where are you?"

Only my own echo returns to me.

The water flowed faster and faster, and the bamboo raft began to shake.My hands and feet were tied, and if the bamboo raft tipped over, I would be dead!
I was so frightened that I was about to cry, I reached out tremblingly, and stretched out the yellow talisman towards the candle. Just when the yellow talisman was about to be lit, a silver light rushed over.

In the blink of an eye, the silver light came to my side, it was Yu Chen.

Seeing Yuchen, I couldn't hold back the tears anymore, and they fell down, "Where did you go, why did you come here!"

Yu Chen hugged me, "We don't care about things here."

As he spoke, he lifted me up into the air.

Flying into the air, I looked down, and in the river below, just below the bamboo raft, a huge shadow floated up from the bottom of the river, and the shadow covered the entire bamboo raft.

I asked in disbelief, "There can't be whales in the river, right? What's in the river..."

Before I could finish asking, there was a crash, something in the river rushed out of the water, accompanied by a huge water column, four little pink snakes bit towards Yu Chen.

Yu Chen hugged me with one hand, and with a flick of the other, a silver whip appeared in his hand.

He flicked the silver whip, and the whip entangled four little snakes.

Only then did I see clearly that what flew over was not a snake, but four pink tongues with forks at the top, which looked like a snake opening its mouth.There is still mucus on the tongue, and because of the close distance, there is still a rancid smell.

Looking along the long tongue, I saw a huge toad lying on the water. The toad was covered in grass green and had countless raised pustules on its back. It looked extremely disgusting.

His mouth was wide open, with four tongues protruding from his mouth.

I was surprised, "How can a toad have four tongues?"

Yu Chen flicked the whip in his hand, knocked back his tongue, and ran away holding me, "Thousands of years have four tongues, and long lives have long horns. This toad is a thousand years old at least."

Yuchen has also practiced for thousands of years, and he took me to run, does it mean that he can't beat this toad?

I was thinking, when suddenly a puff of green smoke came over.

Yu Chen's expression changed slightly, he reached out to cover my mouth and nose, and said to me, "Hold your breath."

Saying that, he took me to speed up and leave.

But before he escaped from the range of the thick smoke, Yu Chen's body suddenly stopped and stopped in mid-air.He turned to look over.

I followed his gaze, and a tongue wrapped around his ankle, pulling him back.

"Third Lord," came a gloomy male voice, "If you don't show yourself, you won't be able to defeat me."

Yu Chen sneered, "Let me show my body, you deserve it too?!"
