Dragon Slay

It's late at night, and I'm afraid the coachman is also tired if he wants to continue his journey.Chang Li asked Chu Jiu to return to the carriage, while she and Wu Xuanhuang found a clean place to rest under the big tree.Yunmiao's five sons didn't leave immediately, there were batch after batch of people chasing and killing, and there might be someone else.If they stayed by Changli's side, maybe they would be safer, take a good rest and wait until dawn before rushing back to Yunmiaozong.Glared at by Chang Li's cold eyes, Shui Zhan squeezed out a bunch of smiles, and led a group of himself to meditate at a place not far from Chang Chang.It was rumored in the rivers and lakes that Rejuvenation often used Li's name, but they dared not beg her to heal her wounds no matter what.The experience during this period made them understand that Chang Li is not a person to provoke.

The coachman walked quickly and arrived in Jiangcheng on the fifth day of the lunar new year.Once at the destination, Wu Xuanhuang disappeared again.Chang Li seemed to be used to her disappearance, but Chu Jiu occasionally mentioned a few words in his mouth.The autumn wind is bleak, the river waves are surging, and the leaves are falling one after another.Passing by a fishing village, I heard the sound of gongs and drums, a group of people carried several whole pigs and whole sheep, and there was a bright red sedan chair behind, and I heard faint weeping from inside.

"Is this a girl getting married?" Chu Jiu asked.

"Not like." Chang Li shook his head, looking behind the group of people.An old man was pushed to the ground by a big man playing a trumpet, his hands were stretched forward, tears were running down his face.Holding on to his crutches, he struggled to get up, chased after him, and fell again after a few steps.Chang Changli walked there quickly, stretched out his hand to help the old man up, and asked with concern: "Old man, are you alright?"

"Tweety, my Tweety!" The old man shook his head, beating his chest and crying loudly.

"Is that your daughter in the sedan chair? Is she going to get married?" Chang Li asked again.

"No! No! God! The Dragon God is above!" The old man wiped away his tears, looked at the group of people who were gradually going away, and choked up, "They want to throw my Tweety into the river to sacrifice to the Dragon God! How could the Dragon God be so cruel?"

"Dragon God?" Chang Li's eyes sank, and said, "Speak slowly, old man, Jiu'er, go and cut the girl out of the sedan chair."

"En." Chu Jiu nodded, and started to chase those people in the direction where they left.

The old man calmed down, and there was hope in his eyes.With a skinny hand, he grabbed Changli's sleeve, shook his head and sighed: "Girl, you are foreigners, you don't understand the customs of our Qianlong Village. Twenty years ago, a wizard came here. He called himself I was able to communicate with the Dragon God. The big river here often floods, so I had to ask the wizard. The wizard said that the Dragon God was angry, and he would use a big girl with yellow flowers to sacrifice to the Dragon God every September to appease his anger. It won’t flood our village anymore. The old man’s family is poor, and there is only one daughter like Tweety! Those squires bribed wizards with money, and it is poor people like us who suffer in the end.”

"That wizard really has such great supernatural powers?" Chang Changli asked.

"The strongest tiger in our village is no match for him." The old man shook his head, and when he thought of something, despair appeared in his eyes, and tears flowed down his cloudy eyes, "Girls, go away!" Well, the old man can't implicate you. Tweety is gone, so let my old bones go with her."

"Father—" a cry came, and Chu Jiu, who was already wearing a bright red bridal gown, rushed over.She put the person on the ground, turned to Chang Li and muttered that she was exhausted.Chang Li stretched out his hand to pinch her smooth and delicate face, and said with a chuckle, "What happened to those people, have they all been resolved?"

"They can't get up for the time being." Chu Jiu replied with a smile.

"..."

"Old man, where does that wizard live?" Chang Li asked.

"He lives in the center of the village, there is a locust tree there, and his big yard is to the east." The old man held his daughter in his arms, smiled gratefully at Changli, but sighed instead.The sacrifice to the Dragon God has been destroyed, can he and Tweety stay in Qianlong Village?The world is so big, where is the shelter for their father and daughter?Thinking of this, he began to cry softly again.

"Old man, come with us, we will help you deal with this matter." Chang Changli glanced at him, saw through his thoughts, and said with a faint smile.Looking at the center of the village, the branches and leaves of the old pagoda tree trembled in the wind, and a few fell to the ground like butterflies with broken wings.Wizard, can you communicate with the Dragon God?Will it be a disciple of Wumen?But soon Chang Li rejected his own idea, the people of the Wumen would not fall into such a situation, and it was impossible for Wu Xuanhuang not to know.

As soon as he got close to the courtyard, he heard the sound of silk, bamboo and pipa coming from inside. At this moment, Chang Li felt that he had entered some kind of golden cave.In a poor village, some people are shabby and thin, while others enjoy singing, dancing, drinking and meat.The gate of the yard was wide open, guarded by two sleazy servants.Seemingly feeling that the visitor was not kind, one of them rushed in to report, while the other stopped in front of the door, stammering and asking, "You——what do you want to do?"

"Go and call out your master." Chang Changli said flatly.The shiny knife light dazzled the eyes, and the little servant was so intimidated that he ran in quickly.

"These servants are some ruffians and tyrants in our village, who were bought by the wizard to be his servants." The old man covered his lips and coughed a few times before saying. "That wizard is really capable. He has been domineering for more than 20 years. No one on our side can do anything to him, and he has to send his daughter to his door to be ruined by him."

"Don't panic, old man. After today, everything will be resolved." Chang Li smiled confidently.

After waiting for a long time without seeing the wizard come out, she was really impatient.A group of people strode into the courtyard.Perhaps this courtyard is nothing in the bustling city, but in the eyes of Qianlong Village, it is undoubtedly a magnificent place, and perhaps they will never be able to see such a scene in their entire lives.Chang Li walks very slowly, and his eyes can't stop looking around, in case someone rushes out suddenly.

The singing in the courtyard finally stopped, presumably he had already got the news.Not long after walking, I saw a fat man in brocade clothes floated out drunk by the servants, his triangular eyes were slanted, and he looked at the common people away from them, showing a little covetous color. They were surrounded by a group of people.

"That person is a wizard." The old man panicked, held his daughter's hand tightly, and hid behind Changli.

"I said, old man, you are so courageous that you dared to bring Tweety back. However, if the two women you brought here are filial to me, then I will forgive you." The wizard smiled sinisterly. with.

The old man was kicked by him, his knees softened, he pulled Tweet and quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "My lord, please let me and Tweet pass, I only have one daughter like Tweet!"

"Didn't I give you a chance?" The wizard sneered and cursed, "You are such an old bone, how can you not pay a tael of silver after saving it for most of your life?"

"You want money?" Chang Li looked down at the kneeling man, then turned to the wizard, and sneered.

"I want silver, and I want beauties." After listening to her words, the wizard rubbed his hands, as if he would pounce on her in the next moment.

"Heh." Chang Changli laughed, and his body flicked, only to see an afterimage, and those servants flew a few feet away, screaming in pain, and the Lushuang knife was already on the wizard's neck .

The wizard didn't see how all this happened at all, the murderous aura filled the air, and the place where the knife was pressing on his neck felt chilly. He didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that his head would be separated from his body in the next moment. "Gu... Grandma, let me go, I, I am the messenger of the Dragon God, you, you will anger the Dragon God."

"Do you know what this knife of mine is used for?" Chang Changli smiled lightly, with a sharp edge in her eyes, and her light voice made the wizard tremble even more, "This knife , is used to slay dragons."

"You, your lord has a lot, so just let the villain go." There was a trace of blood on his neck, but the wizard couldn't reach out to wipe it off, so he said tremblingly, "I, I, my treasures are all gone." for you."

"Those are just things outside of the body." Chang Li smiled disdainfully, "I heard that you have the great supernatural power to communicate with the Dragon God? Can you still emit thousands of golden lights at night?"

"Then, those are all bluffs. The golden light is because I picked up a scale here many years ago." The wizard hurriedly called out.That piece of scale was hidden by him as a treasure, and now he had to take it out.Chang Li snatched the scale from his hand, kicked him to the ground, and said threateningly, "Sacrificing to the Dragon God is just a lie of yours, and you explained everything clearly in front of your folks. otherwise--"

"Yes yes yes!" The wizard knelt on the ground and kowtowed while agreeing.

"What are these scales?" Chu Jiu stepped forward and asked curiously.

"Dragon scale." Chang Li said solemnly, and put the scale into Chu Jiu's palm.

Chu Jiu felt a golden light hit the depths of his mind, and a blood-stained golden dragon appeared in front of his eyes, groaning in pain.The scales on its body peeled off and fell into the reeds, holding a dragon egg in its paws, protecting it firmly.
