Mu Hanyun asked Witch Zhang: "Who is that Xiaoba? Why is the water demon looking for him?"
Witch Zhang said: "I don't know either. Since Xiaoba left with the Sword Immortal in the end, he must be the enemy of the water demon?"
Shu Yuehen also wanted to know who Xiaoba was and whether he knew him, so he asked Witch Zhang: "Since the water demon asked you to help find him, do you have his portrait?"
Witch Zhang immediately took out a portrait from the cabinet and handed it to Shu Yuehen: "This is the Xiaoba I asked the artist to draw based on the description of the water demon."
Shu Yuehen and Mu Hanyun looked at the painting, which showed a handsome young man, about fourteen or fifteen years old, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand and smiling.
The two recalled carefully, but they couldn't remember which senior brother or uncle of Xuantian Sword Sect this was.
Shu Yuehen looked at the portrait and said, "Junior brother, the boy in this painting looks a bit like you."
Mu Hanyun said: "Sister, I am only twenty-five years old this year, and if Xiaoba lives to this day, he should be more than two hundred years old."
Shu Yuehen said: "I didn't say that Xiaoba was you, I just said that you look a bit similar."
Mu Hanyun said: "Our Xuantian Sword Sect had a great disaster many years ago. Maybe Xiaoba had already died at that time."
Shu Yuehen said: "That's right."
She asked Witch Zhang again: "You spirit witches have served the water monster before. Do you know his background? What kind of monster is he made of?"
Witch Zhang said: "Water demons can change into various shapes. If they take the form of humans, most of them will turn into girls. They can turn into stones, boats, water plants, fish, and even clouds and rain." . They are the natural elves of Zuiyue Lake."
Shu Yuehen asked: "Why do the elves born in the lake need human sacrifices?"
Witch Zhang smiled dryly and said, "This old woman doesn't know."
Mu Hanyun smiled and said: "The senior of Xuantian Sword Sect is really amazing. I don't know how he killed these water monsters. If the water monsters can't hide, we won't be able to find water in such a big Zuiyue Lake." Demon."
Shu Yuehen looked at the old fisherman Tang De and said, "The opportunity will come now. You and I will be human sacrifices, and we can find the hiding place of the water monster."
She said to Witch Zhang: "Now there are two more human sacrifices. Please return the bag of money to Mr. Tang quickly. This is his life money."
Witch Zhang quickly handed the money bag to Tang De. The stubborn old man looked at the money and then at Shu Yuehen, and was at a loss for words: "This..."
Mu Hanyun continued: "Don't worry! If we are discovered by the water demon, your village will not be implicated."
He said to Witch Zhang: "Witch Zhang, don't tell the villagers about us, just say that we are slaves you bought from outside."
Shu Yuehen looked at Witch Zhang coldly: "This time the human sacrifice is just the two of us. As for how to explain it, it is up to you."
Witch Zhang forced a smile and said, "Old lady, I understand."
…
Three days later in the middle of the night, Witch Zhang and a group of villagers stood by the ferry holding torches, while Shu Yuehen and Mu Hanyun were each wearing red clothes and tied with five-flowered flowers, standing towards Zuimeng Lake.
A village elder asked Witch Zhang: "In the past, ten human sacrifices were required, but now there are only two human sacrifices. Will the Lake God be angry?" Naturally, the villagers in Tangjiazhuang did not dare to call the water demon, so they called it the Lake God.
Witch Zhang said: "The past was before, and the present is now. Lord Lake God has changed his taste. Now only a pair of boys and girls is enough."
The village elder asked again: "Are these boys and girls a little old?"
An old man who had never dealt with him said: "Your grandchildren are still young. Do you want to sacrifice your grandchildren instead of these young people?"
The village elder quickly changed his words: "Yes, yes, these young people are very good-looking. When they go to the Lake God, they will get married and give birth to more boys and girls for the Lake God."
Witch Zhang was afraid that they would offend Shu Yuehen and Mu Hanyun by talking too much, so she quickly shouted: "Quiet! It's time to sacrifice to the lake god."
The villagers did not dare to speak anymore.
I saw Witch Zhang dancing on the stage she had built. Although she was old and fat, and her dancing posture was not beautiful, every move she made was very serious.
After a while, there was a heavy fog in Zuiyue Lake, and a red boat came from the vast fog.
There was no one on the red boat, but it sailed to the ferry on its own.
The villagers were so frightened that they backed away. Most of them had doubts about human sacrifice. It was not until they saw this unmanned red boat that they realized that what Witch Zhang said was true.
Shu Yuehen was already impatient with waiting. Before the red boat could dock, he jumped onto the red boat, followed closely by Mu Hanyun.
The villagers were stunned to see these two human sacrifices serving the lake god so actively!
The red boat paused for a moment, as if it judged that the human sacrifice had already boarded the boat, and then began to sail towards the lake.
In the endless fog, the red boat sailed on the dark black lake.
Shu Yuehen and Mu Hanyun had already broken free of the rope and sat opposite each other on the red boat, as if they were the only two people in the world.
The red boat is made entirely of red wood. The red color is extremely bright and reminds people of blood.
Mu Hanyun looked at Shu Yuehen opposite. The senior sister rarely wore red clothes. At this time, her bright red dress, with her snow-white skin and long black hair, was so beautiful that it was scary.
Mu Hanyun looked at his red clothes again and said with a smile: "Senior sister, you and I are both wearing red clothes, do we look like newlyweds?"
In such a terrifying environment, Mu Hanyun was not only not afraid, but also had the leisure to tease the senior sister.
Shu Yuehen silently calculated the strength of the water demon in his mind. Since the senior swordsman of Xuantian Sword Sect could kill all the water demons two hundred years ago, he must not be too powerful. He and his junior brother could handle it.
Two days ago, Shu Yuehen specially sent a letter to Xuantian Sword Sect with Feijian, saying that in Zuimeng Lake, Linhu County, Yuezhou, the water demon appeared again after two hundred years, and asked the master to find out the details of that year and inform her. .
Shu Yuehen never waited for Xuantian Sword Sect's reply, and the day to sacrifice the water demon had come, so Shu Yuehen could only take his junior brother to find the water demon first.
She heard that Mu Hanyun was still joking and said angrily: "Can you be more serious? Be careful that the water demon captures you and makes you a ghost groom."
This red boat kept driving in the fog, as if it was taking them to another world.
Mu Hanyun was extremely bored and asked Shu Yuehen again: "Sister, do you like me? Even just a little bit."
Shu Yuehen didn't answer.
Mu Hanyun asked with a bitter face: "Senior sister, do you hate me?"
Shu Yuehen couldn't stand him and finally said: "I don't hate you, I only have sympathy for you."
Mu Hanyun refused to give up and asked again: "Senior sister, have you ever loved anyone? Who is the person you care about most in the world?"
