The villain!Come fight monsters with me!

Minghuai Country is divided into two regions, namely Mingxi District and Huaiyuan District. The two regions are separated by a mighty river, Minghuai River. There are countless towns and villages in Huaiyuan District.In Mingxi District, there is only Mingxi City, which is located on the vast land north of Minghuai River.In the farther north, it is covered with heavy snow all year round.

The capital, Mingxi City, is located in the northernmost part of Mingxi District, at the edge of the world.A row of ice walls high into the clouds blocked the edge of the world, preventing people from unfortunately going into the dark depths and never returning to this world.

The so-called capital is not as lively and luxurious as imagined, and the sky is full of snow shadows, covered with thick ice and snow.At the beginning, the landform here was an endless sea, which was gradually covered by thick ice and snow, and under the ice and snow was an endless sea of ​​ice.You can still see some land on the south bank of the Mingxi River, but when you reach the north bank, it's all snowy land, especially the capital Mingxi.

All that could be seen was thick snow, ice, and occasional glacial melt.There are no houses and streets, and it looks extraordinarily vast and pure.Xu Liuyun and Mingchen came to a long glass ladder leading to the clouds. This glass ladder is the only building on the ice field here. The glass ladder is thin and brittle, as if it is flowing.

Below the glass ladder is a huge deep blue water pool, in which dragons live.The stairs were surrounded by interviewers from various newspaper offices, and transparent video cameras were flying in the sky.There are very few times when Mingxi City is so lively, and most of them are silent as if frozen, without even having time.

Xu Liuyun was wearing a silk-colored silk white robe, his long hair was tied high in a golden wig, standing on his head, with a golden mask on his face, which portrayed an extremely ferocious appearance.

A few guards wearing metal shirts stood at the bottom of the stairs, seeing Xu Liuyun half kneeling down: "High Priest, the altar is ready."

Xu Liuyun, or he should be called High Priest Mingyun, nodded slightly, and walked up the almost transparent stairs with Ming Chen.

The two guards hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out their hands to block the way: "Master Priest, is it inappropriate for slaves from foreign races to go up during the Dragon Sacrifice?" The guards lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the high priest, but their voices were extremely clear.

Xu Liuyun didn't make a sound, he went up, and Mingchen followed behind.The silk clothes were dragged on the water-like steps, and the guards never dared to raise their heads, nor did they dare to stop them.

The stairs are very long. When you walk halfway, if you look down, you will find that the people below are like grass, the iceberg in the distance is like a scroll, and the icy clouds that linger all year round hang around the top of the stairs.

Xu Liuyun stopped halfway, looking at the boundless sea of ​​ice, the distant sky, and the snow falling in the sky. Listening carefully, he seemed to be able to hear the sound of sea water slapping. It was the raging sea under the ice layer.

Xu Liuyun stopped halfway, the stairs had no handrails, and he felt as if he was in mid-air.Reporters and elites from all walks of life gathered below. In order to generate income in recent years, the Academy of Priests has stipulated that tickets can be purchased for the Dragon Festival.Although there are so many people, it feels more lonely.

Xu Liuyun continued to walk up, and finally reached the top of the tall Tongtian Ladder.At the top is a huge circular glass altar, and the strong wind is blowing.The altar is very large, there are many holes on it, it will fall if you are not careful, and there is a very high round platform in the middle.The altar was completely decorated, and a hundred virgins and boys selected by the Minghuai Kingdom stood around the altar with pale complexions.Night Inspector was actually here too, he was patrolling the altar with a spirit sword and white armor.

Minghuai Kingdom advocates force and secret religion, and uses an extreme method to fight against the evil spirits of the Kingdom of Evil and Void.The economy and culture here are underdeveloped, and this barbaric human sacrifice is still preserved to worship the dragon in the deep sea.

The three elders of the priesthood were standing on the edge of the altar at the moment, the elder Ye Liangchen bowed to the high priest cordially, he did not talk about the dragon sacrifice coldly, but greeted with concern: "My lord priest, recently Ann?"

Xu Liuyun replied: "The dragon god is restless, and I am restless." His voice came from behind the stuffy mask, adding a bit of weathered majesty inexplicably.

Elder Ye Liangchen was stunned for a moment, and Elder Hongye next to him bowed and smiled, "Master Priest really cares about the country and the people. The advanced technology team has recently been researching ways to control the Dragon God, and it has been quite effective. Plus In the last sacrifice, the Dragon God will definitely protect us. However, my lord priest, forgive me for saying that it is related to the rise and fall of our family, how can we let people from other races step into the altar?"

On the side, Ming Chen has black hair and dark eyes, with a golden seal on his face, his eyes are lowered forbearance, full of cold killing intent, even worse than the ice platform here.

Xu Liuyun explained: "My clan's divine power is like a prison like the sea, and it should be seen by the whole world." The elders saw that the high priest insisted, so they couldn't say anything more. Huaiguo's dedication is obvious to all, so it's not easy to find fault.

Xu Liuyun transformed the Mingxi Excalibur from his palm. Due to the limitation of his spiritual power, he could only transform into a transparent long sword.He threw the long sword into the air and ordered: "Inject spiritual power."

Several elders poured a lot of spiritual power into it together, and the blade changed from transparent to metal, and finally turned into hard and cold stone.Xu Liuyun's spiritual power used to be able to reach the "Tinghai" level of swordsmanship, and he transformed into a blue flowing long sword, which is unparalleled in the world and wonderful.But today is not what it used to be. He holds a heavy long sword, which is better than a transparent air sword.

Elder Ye Liangchen couldn't help asking: "Master Priest, why do you want to transform into a long sword?"

A few maids at the side knelt on the ice platform, holding a golden decorative sword high in their hands, which looked like it matched the mask and hair accessories.

Xu Liuyun said in a low voice: "Master Elder, don't worry." He walked up to the high altar with a few steps, and the deep pool below was like an oval eye, which was bottomless.

The people around looked up and saw the omnipotent high priest appearing on the altar.Those who bought VIPs had two three-story bamboo boats on the edge of the deep pool, with food and drink on them.Seeing the priest appear at this time, everyone put down the melon seeds and ice wine, stood up respectfully, and shouted excitedly: "High Priest Mingyun!"

Yeliangchen’s elder’s old voice came, resounding through the sky through the loudspeaker equipment: “The Dragon Ceremony has begun! The first item is to pray for blessings. I pray that the dragon god will bless the Minghuai country with good weather and peace for the people. Everyone recites silently, and the priests perform occupancy.” The shouting below gradually stopped, hundreds of people bowed their heads, with the handprints of mantras in their hands, silently praying for something in their hearts, and a faint golden light lingered below.Xu Liuyun was in a trance for a moment.

Everyone's wishes are different. For example, Yan Ran, who came to participate in the Dragon Festival, wore the most beautiful dress and squeezed herself in the last row. Although she couldn't see High Priest Mingyun's figure clearly, she was still making a wish earnestly at this moment.Her wish is: "I hope that I can become more and more beautiful, so that my beauty can surpass the high priest Mingyun." There is also Chen Xinghe, an Internet celebrity who is live broadcasting the dragon festival scene with his mobile phone, staring at the "Mingyun" in the barrage The words "high priest" and "will go through fire and water for the high priest" are a little stunned, and I forgot to make a wish.City Lord Lian was also watching the live broadcast thousands of miles away at the moment, wishing that his father would live a long and healthy life, while Qizhaoyu who was beside him had no fluctuations in his heart, and did not believe in priests or any dragons at all.He also didn't wish his tail would grow faster, really not.

The Bai clan farther away is now wandering in the mountains and forests of Saga City, and most of the people were killed or injured. Bai Shemuk secretly cursed the sudden death of the Minghuai Kingdom and the sudden death of the priests in his heart.Thinking of his patriarch being treated like a slave by them, he hated him even more.

Ming Chen, the patriarch he was worried about, was staring numbly at the reflection on the ice.He has wishes, even people like him have wishes, but he doesn't want to think about it, and stands like a weird and cold statue in the snowstorm.

Ye Zhixiao noticed Ming Chen, he looked at the figure of the high priest repeatedly, and had a guess in his heart that made his hair stand on end.

As the high priest, Xu Liuyun sincerely hopes that Minghuai people can live in peace without being invaded by foreign enemies.That's why there's this sacrifice, isn't it?

He cut his finger, and a drop of bright red blood dripped on the ice.It flowed along the thin lines of the ice, and finally bloomed into a branch-like pattern.

This pattern also appeared simultaneously on the ice curtain on the ground.Elder Ye Liangchen explained without changing his face: "The priest's actions will result in great auspiciousness. Tomorrow Huaiguo will surely flourish and the country will flourish..."

Xu Liuyun suddenly interrupted the master of ceremonies' broadcast, and said in a deep voice: "No, this time, the pattern has never been seen before. It represents that God wants us to clean up the filth and cleanse the universe!"

Everyone raised their heads, looked up at the high priest, and cheered.Elder Ye Liangchen announced to the cheers of the crowd: "The second item is the dragon dance performance!"

Huge and beautiful fireworks suddenly rose in the night, reflecting on the boundless ice, the earth and sky were in a trance.

Several groups of dragon dance performances gathered under the Tongtian Ladder lively. They were dressed in red and yellow clothes and exaggerated dragon headdresses. Each group of ten people fought with each other.It's a fight, but it's actually a funny show.Everyone watched applaudingly, but they actually lacked the nature of this old-fashioned performance.

Elder Ye Liangchen said: "In order to allow more citizens to participate in the Dragon Festival this year, the Priestly Academy decided to broadcast live on the game platform League of Kings simultaneously! You can log in to receive prizes, and I would like to thank Jiji Games for providing costumes and props." .”

In the night, countless torches were lit under Tongtian Ladder, people cheered and added game accounts to each other, singing and dancing was very lively.The fireworks in the sky are intermittent, and there are bursts of music and music from the bamboo boats on the deep pool.

As usual, the next step is the high priest singing and throwing down the sacrifices.In order to please Shenlong, every four years, 100 young men and women will be selected from all over the country and thrown into the cold deep pool during the sacrificial ceremony to dedicate to Shenlong.

"Now I announce that the sacrificial ceremony will enter the third item, and the priests will perform sacrifices!"

Xu Liuyun stood on the altar wearing a heavy and cold golden mask, looking up at the bright night sky of fireworks, bowing his head to the cheering people, and only the endless hunting wind blowing on his face.

He held the stone sword, and everyone fell silent, looking up at him.The brocade inscriptions on the high priest's clothes were complicated and special materials were used, which shimmered even in the dark.The previous high priests are people's spiritual beliefs. The most outstanding swordsmen were selected by the priesthood among the youngsters sent by the priesthood. Moreover, the previous high priests have been practicing purely for life, never marrying wives or having children, breaking away from the world's fireworks, and severing everything. Otherwise there will be the most terrible punishment.Such a high priest is the supreme and the representative of the gods in the eyes of everyone.What's more, Priest Mingyun cared more about his people than previous ones. In the Battle of Bright Candles many years ago, at the cost of his own spiritual power, he sealed the leader of the Kingdom of Evil Void, in exchange for the rare peace here.There are many folk legends about this high priest. In some legends, he is a blind man with transparent eyes.But ordinary people have no chance to see it, they can only look up at the dark and hideous mask under the night sky.

Xu Liuyun was also looking at them under the mask. Countless strangers he didn't know at all could feel their hot eyes from such a distance.What are they looking forward to?Singing a song enthusiastically like a singer, and then pushing these hundred young men and women into the deep pool?

Xu Liuyun couldn't go up to the sky or down to the ground, and sang with a little numbness in his eyes: "When the full moon comes out, the haze is sparse, and the moon is condensed, and the water is flowing. The seven stars are falling into the pot, and the colors are shining. The holy light shines. The dragon carries the wind and frost in the nine heavens, I dedicate my body and my soul returns to peace..."

This is a sacrificial oration handed down from ancient times. The voice of the priest is empty and distant, echoing between the heaven and the earth.The people below were grateful for the kindness of the priest, and even moved their eyes with enthusiasm, shouting: "Master Priest!".A hundred young men and women kneeling around the altar were trembling with stiff expressions at the moment.Their faces were turned pale by the wind, and they were about to jump off the altar later.The night sky is so vast that it makes people dizzy to look down, and the cold pool is calm, like the universe is pregnant with countless stars.

The maid on the side walked over and led them to the edge of the altar.The soldiers in uniform stepped onto the altar in a hurry and saluted the priest: "My lord priest!" Xu Liuyun nodded slightly. These soldiers tied five of them together with white ropes and were about to throw them into the altar roughly. In the deep pool.

Xu Liuyun said softly: "Master Dragon God, you must protect us." Speaking of which, Dragon God did not bring any blessings to Ming Huaiguo, but enjoyed such a sacrifice every four years.

Suddenly, a burst of crying came from among the sacrifices. It was a little girl with purple hair. She cried out emotionally: "Please, please don't take my eagle! It's my favorite gang!" I made it, please don't take it away!"

Xu Liuyun followed her reputation, and found that the girl was Wen Ya. Her eagle was violently pulled by a soldier and handed over to a maid beside her.Xu Liuyun's eyelids twitched. He himself didn't care about these people. He exchanged the lives of a hundred people for the peace and tranquility of the entire country and avoided the chaos of the Dragon God. As a priest, he had no choice.

Somehow, such a scene suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. On a sunny afternoon, a chubby girl wearing glasses was sitting by the window and beckoned him to sit down.A blood-stained name appeared in his heart, Wen Xiang.

Xu Liuyun clenched his long sword tightly. What he had to do was to protect his people, but he didn't know how to protect them.These sacrifices are also life, unarmed and innocent people!

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Elder Ye Liangchen reminded, "Master Priest."

Xu Liuyun raised his arm, signaling the soldiers to stop first.

He picked up the jade flute in the hand of the maid and played it to the sky.The elders and everyone were very stunned, not knowing what was the reason for this sudden change.The priest's jade flute is used to summon the dragon god, but there has never been a precedent for summoning an ice dragon in a dragon festival.

After a clear and lofty piece of music was played, the sky suddenly lit up slowly from dark black to dark blue, faintly glowing with thunder.A low exclamation came from the crowd: "Dragon...Dragon...,"

The ice dragon hovering in the distant sky hovered above everyone's heads from far to near.Xu Liuyun felt his eyes darken, and the giant dragon's huge head hung down from the air, and the dragon's whiskers were dripping with seawater and ice.No one knows the origin of the Dragon God. It is said that Huairen is the descendant of the Dragon God, and it existed before ancient times.The round bright moon was covered by the Dragon God. Its dark blue body was rough in texture, hovering in the air, carrying the coldness and chill of the depths of the ice sea.Xu Liuyun looked at each other silently through the mask, and the full moon was dimmed.

The people below were stunned. Some people's legs softened and they knelt down. It was so big that the entire sky above their heads was covered by it, and there was a faint sound of earth shaking and mountains shaking.Soldiers in white metal military uniforms drove over neatly, and urgently evacuated the onlookers: "The high priest ordered to move quickly to the ice sea."

Everyone didn't know the situation, so they had to leave in a depressed mood, and asked, "What happened? Is there still a live broadcast?"

On the Stairway to Heaven, several elders were also stunned, the soldiers also put up a defensive posture, Ming Chen stood quietly in the corner, because he was not allowed to get close to the priest.

Xu Liuyun said in his characteristic lazy tone: "Master Dragon God, let's be honest, I will not provide you with any human sacrifices. If you think it is acceptable, I can prepare some tender pigs and lambs for you every year." Category."

Dragon God remained silent, and let out a low roar, which seemed to be a threat.

There was a chuckle behind the golden mask: "Master Dragon God, if you want, I can save your life!" The soldiers and several elders were shocked. People have always been enslaved by the Dragon God, and no one has ever How dare you talk to Dragon God like that.

Xu Liuyun's swordsmanship before was indeed unparalleled in the world, but now more than half of his spiritual power is sealed in the bottom of the ice sea, and his power is greatly weakened.Elder Ye Liangchen reminded: "Master Priest...don't be so rebellious... After all, this is our mother dragon."

The boys and girls who were sacrificed have been ordered to be released, and only Wen Ya insisted on staying. She came to Xu Liuyun with the little eagle in her arms, knelt down on one knee, lowered her head and said seriously: "Master Priest! I am willing to die for you!" war!"

Dragon God was completely enraged, it was just an ancient dragon, without any human feelings, all actions were driven by instinct.It was so furious that it raised its head to the sky and let out a long howl, and the dragon's chant became more and more agitated, echoing in the layers of mist.

The Minghuai officers and soldiers on the side also knelt on one knee at this moment: "Master Priest, we will fight to the death for you!" Ye Ducha looked complicated and stood aside without making a sound.

Xu Liuyun slowly pulled away the blade, and the dragon god came out of nowhere, and it was the first time it saw a priest who resisted it. There was only one end, and that was death!

Standing on the edge of the ice altar, Xu Liuyun repelled the dragon god's claws with his stone sword, and the altar was shaken by a huge roar.

The two elders, Ye Liangchen and Hongye, were shocked and frowned. They looked at each other, but after all, the high priest was the symbol of the supremacy of the Minghuai Kingdom. Is your spiritual power still sealed...But if you want to fight, sir, we are willing to fight for you..."

The golden mask, the stone sword raised to the sky, and the long silver hair fluttered in the night sky.He said in a deep voice: "Mingchen, fight for me!"

Ming Chen who stood silently in the corner:? ? ? ? ? ?

He suspected that he had heard it wrong, but he felt the eyes from all directions, so he walked in front of the high priest with a gloomy face.

The brocade robe with intricate patterns hangs down on the ice, Ming Chen always keeps his head down here, the hem of the high priest's clothes and shoes are the most familiar parts in his eyes.A pair of feet on his lap suddenly appeared in his mind, such white and delicate feet made it difficult to restrain the blood in his chest, but he didn't dare to look up.

He lowered his head slightly, and suddenly a cloudy wind blew by, a huge shadow appeared in the sky, and the moonlight was almost covered.However, Minghuai's place is a sea of ​​ice, with cold light reflected on the ice surface, and two figures fighting in the snow can be seen.

Mingchen's snake body is a highly poisonous black and white ring snake, now it shows its original shape, it is also very huge, comparable to the dragon god in the sky.It's just that the snake's movements are as fast as lightning, and its figure can hardly be seen, only a large shadow entangled around the ice dragon.

As long as you are bitten by a poisonous snake, you will definitely die.The dragon god was pressed by it step by step, and the shadow was entangled around like the wind. Everyone watched nervously, and could almost see that the shadow was about to touch the dragon god several times.Suddenly, the dragon god let out a long roar, and the world was in turmoil. The ice on the ground cracked one after another, and the sound of shattered ice echoed between the sky and the ground. In an instant, the ground became a continuously spreading dark blue ocean.

Dragon God leaped into the ice sea, and the shadow approached with it, ready to go on the sea.Dragon God suddenly jumped out of the sea water, and the sea water all over its body quickly froze, and the fluttering dark blue dragon whiskers also turned into ice cones, and the whole dragon was wrapped under the hard ice armor.The change occurred almost instantly. The Dragon God did not retreat but advanced, and suddenly attacked forward. His sharp claws and fangs tore through Ming Chen's snake body, and large swathes of dark red blood flowed from the shadows. Melting into the mighty deep blue sea, the sea water and ice floes were bloody and black.

"Oops, woes", Wen Ya couldn't help but said, she ignored everyone, ran to the edge of the altar, activated the little eagle that she wanted to keep when she was dying, and the little eagle rushed straight to the Dragon God, and was tailed by the Dragon God broke up.

Ye Liangchen was extremely anxious at the moment: "My lord priest, please stop, how could you do this to our mother dragon? The sacrifices have been passed down from ancient times to the present, and you should apologize to the Dragon God. You have to take care of the overall situation. ah!!!"

The high priest and several elders of the priesthood seem to be in harmony. At this moment, the high priest is holding a spiritual power helmet in his hand and is constantly adjusting it, which is a new product used to control brain waves.He first sent Mingchen to the battle to attract the Dragon God's attention, and at the same time received the data of the Dragon God's brainwave, and it will be completed soon.

This spiritual power helmet was provided by Minghuai Architectural Institute. It is extremely precise, and it will definitely not always make mistakes like a product developed by someone.Xu Liuyun was full of confidence, as long as Mingchen could persevere, it only took half a minute, and it would be fine!

The Dragon God kept jumping into the ice sea, and the bone-piercing sea water was the best armor for the Dragon God.Ming Chen is not a wise person, he can't adapt to such icy sea water, the action of the shadow has gradually slowed down due to more and more injuries, and he can almost see its disorganized appearance clearly.The scales and flesh turned outward, and the entire seawater was almost blackened.

Ming Chen could hardly fly anymore, he dodged the Dragon God's attack awkwardly.Seeing that he had no strength to fight back, the dragon god suddenly passed him, circled upwards, and flew into the air. The ice balls fell down rustlingly, and the sky and the earth echoed with turbulent waves.It flew to the ice altar and aimed at Xu Liuyun.

A few soldiers in uniform rushed over to protect the high priest, and suddenly a snake shadow chased up from below. The scales were washed by blood in the night sky and were as cold as iron. The snake wrapped itself around the entire ice dragon. .The sharp shattered ice pierced the snake's scales, and it screamed bloody, with venom dripping from its long fangs.

Xu Liuyun flew up from the altar at this moment, put the helmet firmly on the Dragon God's head, and pressed the operation button.For a moment, the Dragon God fell straight down in a daze, and fell heavily into the sea of ​​ice, smashing a few pieces of floating ice. Fortunately, Ming Chen let go of it quickly and turned into a human and fell on the altar. superior.Under the altar has long been a vast ocean, blue-black raging waves roaring and rolling, large pieces of blood scattered on it, like countless black flowers blooming in full bloom.

"Ah! My lord priest, I can't believe it, you did it!!! You saved us!" Wen Ya said excitedly, and several soldiers also knelt down one after another.

Ye Liangchen and Hongye exchanged glances, Elder Ye Liangchen said, "Master Priest, how should the Dragon God deal with it?"

Xu Liuyun fiddled with the silver control instrument in his hand, with a tall and straight figure, and deployed to the elders of the priesthood: "It is said to the outside world that the Dragon God will accept the offerings of pigs and sheep in the future. Now we can completely control it, so we don't have to worry about it anymore."

Elder Hongye complained wildly in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything. He glanced at the scarred foreign slave, thinking that there might be something wrong with the priest who walked so close to the leader of the foreign tribe and treated his dragon god like this.

He and Ye Liangchen looked at each other, and Ye Liangchen smiled and bowed to the priest, turned around and took two golden wine glasses from the altar, bowed his head respectfully and toasted Ming Chen: "This time, thanks to this A knight, on behalf of the priesthood, I thank you, and please drink this cup to the full."

As Ye Liangchen said, he raised his head and gulped it down, looking at Ming Chen with a smile in his eyes: "Why don't the knights drink it?"

Elder Hongye has white beard and hair, and at this moment he was also somewhat dissatisfied and said: "Could it be that you dislike the national wine of my Minghuai country?" At this moment, he was staring at the two of them coldly, as if they were wounded beasts who were stubbornly resisting, and they would kill each other in the next moment.

The atmosphere dropped to freezing point, Xu Liuyun reached out and snatched the glass of wine, and a few drops of the wine spilled on the cold altar.He took off the golden mask, looked at Elder Ye Liangchen with cold eyes, raised his eyebrows and said: "He is my slave, you should respect me."

There was no arrogance in his gaze, but it was domineering, making people dare not look at him closely.Wen Ya saw his appearance clearly from the side, and ten thousand muddy horses galloped past in her heart.

Xu Liuyun raised his wine glass to his mouth, Ye Liangchen and Hongye didn't expect this, they all stared at him.

Xu Liuyun flipped his hands over and poured the wine into the sea: "This wine is for the sea god, to protect the peace of the dragon god, and for our clan to use."

Ye Liangchen and the two of them didn't dare to say anything more, and let Xu Liuyun throw the wine glass into the sea, sinking into the billowing waves.

Xu Liuyun dragged his heavy clothes, and under the baptism of everyone, he left with his head held high and his chest held high.

The sea was still filled with a fishy and sweet smell, and snowflakes rolled into the waves one after another, leaving wet red blood stains on the floating ice, like countless dark red petals knocked down by the rain.

Because the climate here is cold, after losing the control of the dragon god, the sea water slowly became covered with thin ice.
