At night, inside Yi Xiao's house in the county magistrate's house.

She was writing the desk alone, the lights were dim and the windows were open, and the sky was full of stars tonight.

"Dad, I'm going to deal with the water god demon tomorrow." Yi Xiao held the jade pendant in his palm and murmured in a low voice, "Maybe you don't care whether I'm alive or dead. You've been wandering around the world but haven't come to see me again. You are my only relative, so cruel, so cruel."

...

Night, Qin Mansion.

Qin Yun sat in front of the window, and a flying sword flew out from his palm and quickly became three feet long.

Holding this silver sword in hand, Qin Yun gently wiped the sword edge with his fingers. Jian Bingliang: "It's been thirteen years, I'll refine this flying sword for this day!"

I sat withered all night, and before I knew it, the sky outside the window turned white.

Qin Yun stood up and inserted the silver sword in his hand directly into the scabbard. He still pretended to be an ordinary magic weapon flying sword, rather than a natal flying sword.

Squeak, the door opens.

Qin Yun left the yard.

"Second Young Master, morning."

"Second Young Master, morning."

The servants shouted respectfully.

Qin Yun ordered: "Agui, prepare a horse for me."

"Yes, the second young master." The servant Agui immediately went to the horse in the horse shed.

After leaving the Qin Mansion gate, the horses were quickly brought over.

After Qin Yun got on the horse, he said, "Uncle Li, I'll go out today and may not come back tonight."

"Okay." Li Bolian responded with a smile. It was normal for a practitioner like his second son to go out for ten days and half a month.

"drive!"

Qin Yun immediately rode a horse and left.

If it is very early today, there are very few people on the streets, even on Jinglou Street, hawkers set up stalls early.

"Fatty Liu, give me five buns." Qin Yun rode a horse to a place selling buns and said immediately.

"Second Young Master?" The fat man who sold the buns enthusiastically took out a piece of oil paper and wrapped five meat buns, and handed them to Qin Yun, "Second Young Master comes to my place to eat buns, so he doesn't have money."

"Come on." Qin Yun threw out ten big money and flew neatly on the stool next to the stall.

Qin Yun rode his horse away immediately.

Fatty Liu smiled and collected ten big money. Other vendors on the side said, "Pang Liu, is that the second young master? The second young master of Qin's mansion?"

"I heard that the second young master of Qin's mansion is a cultivator."

"The immortals who practiced the same food can also pay for eating buns."

The hawkers around were talking.

Fatty Liu said proudly: "What do you know? Ten years ago, when the second young master was still young, he often came to me to eat buns. He liked my buns the most."

...

Qin Yun couldn't help but smile while eating the meat buns he often ate when he was a teenager. I remember that I had just arrived in the county town from the village, and my father was still recovering from his arms. Once, my mother bought meat buns and came back. The meat buns were shared by him and his brother. He ate more than half of them. It was so delicious. After his father became the headmaster, he often went to buy fat man Liu's meat buns.

After eating the meat buns, I rode my horse very quickly. The sun showed half of my face and Qin Yun left the East City Gate.

"Yi Xiao hasn't arrived yet?" Qin Yun glanced at him, then dismounted outside the East City Gate and waited.

Waited for a while.

Then he saw Yi Xiao wearing a light green robe riding out of the East City Gate. Yi Xiao saw Qin Yun as soon as he came out.

"Come?" Qin Yun got on his horse.

"You came out pretty early." Yi Xiao smiled.

"I have been waiting for this day for too long. Also, Miss Yi, I have to thank you." Qin Yun said. Yi Xiao collected more information than he did. If he followed his original plan, he would probably have great regrets.

"I was going to do it, and I would like to invite you, let's go." Yixiao said.

"Walk."

The two immediately rode their horses forward together.

Two horses ran on the official road, and they were all the way. Occasionally, they saw some village teams beside the official road. The village teams had carriages, and there were children on the carriages, usually twenty children. Some of these children were full of tears, some were dazed, and some were gnawing on steamed buns.

"On June 28th, children in each village must offer to the Water God." Qin Yun explained, "It must also be on June 28th. It cannot be early, and it cannot be late! Because the twenty miles around the Water God's mansion are forbidden areas, and people who dare to enter the forbidden areas will be killed without mercy."

"The entire Guangling County is very large, with nearly twenty county towns and millions of people. Some farther away even have to travel seven or eight hundred miles to send children to the Water God Mansion, so they all have to be a few days in advance. It is also very common for those who set out two or three days in advance." Qin Yun said, "Because they send it every year, the villages have long had the experience of rushing."

All have experience.

Qin Yun felt a tingling pain in his heart. It has been more than two hundred years of such days.

"They won't need these experiences in the future." Yixiao said.

"Yes, no need anymore." Qin Yun nodded.

Dada dada...

The horse's hooves ran towards the Water God's Mansion.

*******

In a village in Yougao County.

Chang Er and his family of three are being locked in a cell.

The tall and thin man brought two men to the cell and opened the chain with his own hands. The tall and thin man said, "Second brother, come out."

The woman in the prison rushed out and grabbed the tall and thin man: "Where is my child? Where is the child?"

"The team that sent boys and girls has been set off for a day." The tall and thin man said calmly.

The woman was stunned and sat on the ground, speechless.

"Xiao E, we are sorry for the child." Chang Er hugged another child in his arms with red eyes, and the child was sleeping soundly.

"No, no..." The woman cried in a low voice. She knew she had no choice. It has been like this every year, generation after generation, for more than two hundred years!

...

There are nearly twenty counties in Guangling County, and many villages and families in many sadness. But the water god demon covers the sky with one hand. At the least, he can send monsters to slaughter a village, and at the worst, he can cause overwhelming floods and flood countless villages, and the casualties will be severe.

Qin Yun and Yi Xiao rushed for two hundred miles, and the sun was high, and they arrived at their destination.

"The monster village is in front of me." Qin Yun pointed to the front, "The boys and girls from all villages in Guangling County were sent to this monster village. The village is only ten miles away from the Water God Mansion! Ordinary villagers are not qualified to get close to the Water God Mansion."

"Brother Qin, you said that the twenty miles around the Water God Mansion are forbidden areas. If you invade them, you will be killed without mercy. Then aren't we just ten miles away from the Water God Mansion now?" Yi Xiao said with a smile.

"Yes, so the monsters in this parody will come out soon." Qin Yun nodded, "We will not wait for them anymore, just kill them and take the parody! Give the water god a warning first."

"The formation set up by the water god is spread all over the mansion for eighteen miles. He should have discovered us. When we destroy this mountain village, we can see if he can stand it." Yi Xiao also said.

"If we two are not innate, if he dares not come, he will commit suicide." Qin Yun said, "or in his opinion, we are the prey."

The two were chatting and laughing.

He rode his horse and quickly approached the mountain. This monster mountain village was built along the mountain. It was at the foot of the mountain, and it was also to welcome all villages to present their boys and girls.

"Well? Before June 28th, why are anyone coming?" On an arrow tower in the monster village, two little monsters looked at a man and a woman riding a horse in the distance.

"Didn't you bring a boy or a girl?"

"Dare to invade the forbidden area set by the Water God?"

The two little monsters looked at each other.

"The leader, there is an enemy, a man and a woman!" One of the little demons shouted loudly.

The entire monster village quickly became turbulent. One by one, some of them were eating roasted human flesh, and they could be responsible for accepting boys and girls. These monsters were extremely trusted by the Water God. They went to the door of the village to look at a man and a woman riding a horse in the distance.

"Do you dare to kill someone with a man or a woman?"

"What a bold thing, grab it and the man eat it! The woman plays first and then eat it."

They started shouting one by one.
Chapter completed!
