Become a peerless sword fairy after passing through the book

Chapter 83
The old fisherman took Shu Yuehen and Mu Hanyun around Zuimeng Lake for a day, but didn't see any monsters.

Shu Yuehen was a little depressed, she thought to herself: It would be great if Han Sheng from the Xianxia sect was here, he would definitely be able to figure out where the monster is.

Zuimeng Lake is too big. According to the old fisherman, if you want to visit the entire Zuimeng Lake, it will take half a month.

Mu Hanyun had nothing to worry about, chatting with the old fisherman was very pleasant, and also tasted the special product of Zuimeng Lake, the small whitebait, and praised it as a delicacy he had never seen in his life.

The old fisherman didn't want to spend the night in Zuimeng Lake, so he rowed his small fishing boat to a ferry.

Seven or eight unmanned fishing boats were tied to the ferry, and there was a village behind the ferry. At sunset, puffs of cooking smoke rose from the village. Obviously, the people in this village did not escape.

The old fisherman was in a hurry to go home, and wanted to invite two distinguished guests from the county magistrate back to the county seat, and then go to Zuimeng Lake tomorrow.

But Mu Hanyun took the old fisherman's hand and said, "Old man Tang, why did you drive us away? We want you to spend the night in Tangjiazhuang."

Old Uncle Tang stared and said, "You are all distinguished guests, our small family can't afford to entertain you."

Mu Hanyun smiled and said, "Old Man Tang, you've lost sight of each other now. We hit it off right away on the boat. Although we haven't known each other for long, I already regard you as a long-lost friend. Why don't you let us spend the night?"

The old fisherman's surname is Tang, and his single name is De. His name and background were set out by Mu Hanyun on the boat earlier.

He lived in Tangjiazhuang all his life, made a living by fishing, did not marry a wife, but had a nephew in the village.

Tang De was pulled by Mu Hanyun, but had no choice but to lead Shu Yuehen and Mu Hanyun back to the small courtyard where he lived.

He hastily cleaned two rooms for the two to live in.

Shu Yuehen looked at the mouse in the corner and the spider web on the roof.She has never lived in such a bad room in her two lifetimes.

She asked Mu Hanyun: "Brother, why do you have to live in the old fisherman's house?"

Mu Hanyun said: "Senior Sister, don't you find it strange? Chang Youwei said that the villagers in other villages are afraid of monsters and escaped, why the people in Tangjiazhuang are not afraid of monsters and stay in the village."

Shu Yuehen asked: "Maybe it's because the homeland is hard to leave?"

Mu Hanyun said with a smile: "It may also be that the people in Tangjiazhuang have something to rely on, thinking that the water demon will not harm themselves."

"You suspect that the water demon is in collusion with the people of Tangjiazhuang, so what are we waiting for, arrest and interrogate the people of Tangjiazhuang immediately."

"Elder Sister, don't worry, let me investigate carefully."

After the old fisherman Tang De waited for the two guests to turn off the lights and go to sleep, he went out quietly.He didn't notice that Mu Hanyun and Shu Yuehen were following behind him.

The old fisherman went to the house of witch Zhang in the village.

He took the reward money given to him by the county magistrate.

He gave the cloth bag containing the reward to Witch Zhang.

"Witch Zhang, I gave you all the money, you can't let my nephew be a human sacrifice."

Witch Zhang poured out the money from the cloth bag, counted the money carefully one by one, and smiled broadly.

"Okay, the money is enough, I will ask the village chief to find someone else to be a human sacrifice."

The old fisherman Tang De sat on the threshold, a little worried: "Witch Zhang, if we offer human sacrifices, that adult in the lake will not harm us?"

Witch Zhang said with a smile: "Naturally. Our Tang Family Village has been building a village by Zuimeng Lake for 300 years. Our spirit witches have been passed down from generation to generation, how to serve the lord in the lake. She is very talkative. As long as our village can provide human sacrifices in time, that lord will not hurt us. You don't have to abandon everything and flee abroad like other villages."

At this time someone said: "Witch Zhang, do you know that offering sacrifices to monsters without permission is a capital offense?"

Witch Zhang and Tang De both stood up in fright.

Mu Hanyun and Shu Yuehen walked in, and it was Mu Hanyun who asked the question just now.

Tang De stared and asked, "You guys are still awake!"

Mu Hanyun smiled and said: "Don't dare to sleep, your Tang Family Manor has colluded with the water demon, you have to tell the county magistrate Chang, the consequences for you will be very bad."

Tang De was stubborn, and said angrily: "You high-ranking monks can't get rid of the water monster, what do you tell us ordinary people who have lived in Zuimeng Lake for generations?"

Witch Zhang was so frightened that she stopped Tang De: "Old man Tang, don't say a few words, you don't want to die, other people in the village still want to die!"

Tang De was panting heavily, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, he didn't dare to speak anymore, he still had a nephew in the village.

Neither Shu Yuehen nor Mu Hanyun got angry, and Mu Hanyun told Witch Zhang: "Witch Zhang, if you tell the truth about the water monster in the lake, we won't report to Chang county magistrate about your private sacrifice to the monster. We just want to get rid of the monster, and we don't want to meddle in your village's business."

Witch Zhang quickly said: "Okay!"

According to Witch Zhang, 300 years ago, no one lived around Zuimeng Lake, and it was the world of water demons.

Later, a war broke out in the north, and a group of refugees went south, passing Zuimeng Lake, seeing the richness of Zuimeng Lake, and wanted to live here.

Among the refugees is a spirit witch who can talk to gods and monsters by dancing.

The water demons of Drunken Dream Lake promised them that they could live here, and the price was that they would hold a human sacrifice every year and find ten people to be eaten by the water demons.

The group of refugees agreed, and they settled down around Drunken Dream Lake.

About 200 years ago, a sword fairy passed by Zuimeng Lake, saw the water monster in the lake cannibalizing people, became furious, and killed all the water monsters in the lake.

Zuimeng Lake has since become a human territory. Later, as the population multiplied, a county town was established, and the water monster in the lake was gradually forgotten by people.

It's just that at the beginning of this summer, a water demon suddenly appeared in Zuimeng Lake. The water demon killed many fishermen in Zuimeng Lake, and also killed many monks invited by the county magistrate to eliminate the demon.

Tang Jiazhuang was unwilling to leave his hometown and flee again.

The villagers asked Witch Zhang to communicate with the water demon in the lake. The water demon in the lake promised the villagers in Tangjiazhuang that as long as they fulfilled their ancestor's promise, offered human sacrifices to the water demon in the lake, and helped the water demon find a person named "Xiaoba", they would be allowed to continue living by the Zuimeng Lake.

After listening to the story, Shu Yuehen asked, "You mean Sword Immortal?"

Witch Zhang said: "Our spirit witches also have inheritance. The one who killed the water demon in the lake was the sword fairy of Xuantian Sword Sect. The water demon in the lake asked us to find "Xiao Ba", and finally left Zuimeng Lake with that sword fairy."

Shu Yuehen and Mu Hanyun looked at each other, and asked in unison, "Xuantian Sword Sect?"

Witch Zhang said: "The inheritance of our spirit witches is special. The seniors can pass on some important memories to the younger disciples. It is the sword fairy of the Xuantian Sword Sect except the water demon in the lake."

Neither Shu Yuehen nor Mu Hanyun expected that the water monster in the lake would involve the ancestors of the Xuantian Sword Sect.

The "Xiao Ba" who was taken away by the senior sword fairy of Xuantian Sword Sect might also become a disciple of Xuantian Sword Sect.
