I couldn't sleep that night. It wasn't that I was thinking about Zhao Shanyu. Zhao Shanyu's matter was very simple. Just rescue her. I just felt a little uncomfortable.
This feeling is very strange, there is a hint of palpitations, but if it is palpitations, it should be that there is a strong enemy around, but there is a strong enemy, not just a trace.
I lay there until the next morning. Ah Yue slept soundly that night. I didn’t sleep all night, but I wasn’t sleepy at all. I got up and washed up, and looked at Ah Yue who was lying on the bed, curled up in a ball and sleeping.
moon.
I patted her shoulder.
She raised her hand and slapped my hand, and said confusedly: "Don't bother me."
"Get up quickly, we have to go out quietly to inquire about Zhao Shanyu." As soon as I finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
I frowned and didn't bother to ask Ah Yue to get up. I walked to the door and opened it. Tie Liu stood at the door with a smile and said to me: "The patriarch wants to see you two."
"Oh, by the way, Brother Tieliu, when did that outsider who was caught be thrown to feed the fishes?" I smiled and welcomed Tieliu.
Tie Liu sat on the stone table and said, "It's at noon. It's just dawn now. If you want to visit, don't worry. But it seems you are quite interested in this matter?"
"We don't usually drown people alive outside, so I'm a little curious." I smiled.
"Don't worry, we in Tiejia Town are not the evil-doing people in Zixi Town, and we won't do the same to you two." Tie Liu thought that I was worried about his comfort, so he persuaded me.
"Of course, of course." I nodded: "When are you going to meet the clan leader?"
"It's best to leave now." Tie Liu stood up and said, "I'll wait for you two at the door of the inn. You two should hurry up."
After saying that, Tie Liu walked out of the room.
I couldn't care less, so I pulled Ah Yue up hard.
If I were in the human world, how could I directly pick up Ah Yue? If she really didn't want to get up, I wouldn't be able to get her up no matter what. But here, she has no demonic aura and is no different from ordinary people.
She was pulled up by me and cursed at me: "You're going to die. I hate it when people call me names when I'm sleeping."
"Hurry up, the patriarch wants to see us two." I said.
"What?" Ah Yue just had nothing to do and was a bit irritable. When it came to serious matters, she didn't hesitate at all.
She got up quickly, I picked up my backpack, and Ah Yue and I walked to the door of the inn. When Tie Liu saw us coming, he smiled and led the way.
We didn't speak during the whole journey, and soon Tie Liu took me to the door of a wooden house.
This wooden house is not big. There is a fence surrounding the outside. The house seems to be only more than 200 square meters.
"This is the patriarch's home." Tie Liu said enviously: "The patriarch is the only one who lives in a wooden house on our island."
When I heard this, I nodded. Maybe a wooden house is nothing outside, but on this desert island, a house made of wood is very luxurious.
Tie Liu led the way, and soon the two of us walked into the house.
There was a portrait in the middle of the hall. When I looked at it, I frowned. The painting turned out to be the Immortal of the Shifang.
Of course, it's just a back view, but the man in the portrait, carrying four swords on his back, a gourd on his waist, and a broken prison dish, is still a portrait standing on a mountain peak, looking into the distance.
I wonder why there is a portrait of the Shifang Immortal hanging in the hall of the patriarch’s house in Tiejia Town?
"Please sit down, both of you. I'll go ask the clan leader." After Tie Liu finished speaking, he ran into the back room.
Soon, Tie Liu helped an old man with white hair walk out.
Although the old man was old, he seemed to be in good spirits and his face was rosy. He sat on the main seat, and Ah Yue and I sat next to him. He smiled and said: "You two are from the outside world, we haven't been here for a long time."
An outsider."
Seeing that they started chatting, Tie Liu turned around and walked out in a sensible manner.
I smiled and said, "Hello, old man. I'm Zhang Lingfeng. This is my sister, Ah Yue. It's also an accident that I entered the cave."
"Yes." The old man nodded and said, "My name is Tiemu. My father once led his people under the guidance of an immortal to live in this secluded place. I was born here. It has been almost eighty years since I was born.
I’m very curious about the outside world, can Zhang, please tell me, this old man?”
"Yeah." I nodded.
I also understood a little bit in my heart that it was Shifang Immortal who led these people to live in the cave of the outside world. It was just that they didn't know the purpose of Shifang Immortal, so they were allowed to live here.
At this time, the time in the earthly world should be eight o'clock in the morning. I gave a general outline of Chinese history, and then modern development and so on.
"Can iron tools fly in the sky?"
"It's amazing that a person can appear in a small box. It's amazing." The old man was pleasantly surprised. He looked very happy and said, "When I was young, I had thought about going to the outside world to see the outside world. However, my tribe is here.
We need someone to take the lead, I really can’t leave, it’s a pity.”
"Master Patriarch, I heard from Brother Tie Liu that there was a woman who entered the outer world before the two of us, right?" I asked pretending to be casual.
"Well, when that woman first arrived, I was extremely happy. This was the first time I met someone from outside in recent decades. I immediately treated her as a guest and wanted to treat her to a banquet. Unfortunately, she didn't appreciate it.
, and even injured our tribesmen." Old Man Tiemu sighed and said, "Originally, I wanted to drown her directly."
"Original?" When I heard this, I frowned and continued listening.
"But after all, the ten-year contribution is about to begin, so I want to use this woman as a sacrifice to give to the Dragon King here." The old man said.
"Dragon King" Ah Yue, who was sitting next to me, opened her eyes wide and asked excitedly: "Old man, do you have a dragon here?"
"Well, it appeared about seventy years ago, when I was just born. It is said that this dragon did not exist before. Later, this dragon came to the island and asked our Tiejia Town to pay tribute to women every ten years. It has already passed
It has been seventy years, and it has become a habit here." The old man nodded and looked at Ah Yue and asked, "Why is this girl so excited?"
dragon?
My heart skipped a beat, and I looked at Ah Yue next to me, and whispered in her ear: "When you monsters come here, won't your evil spirits disappear and become like ordinary people? Why is there still this so-called Dragon King?"
Even if a dragon comes to this world, like ordinary people, and asks Tiejia Town to pay tribute to a woman, if Tiejia Town doesn't fight it, how can it be convinced and give away the woman? It seems that the so-called Dragon King is in this world
There are also evil spirits in the outer cave.
Do you want to give Zhao Shanyu to a dragon? I looked at Ah Yue who looked excited next to me, and felt a little bad in my heart.
I'm not worried that Ah Yue won't help me because it's a dragon. Ah Yue is a very loyal person.
But with her innocent appearance, it would be troublesome if she came into contact with that dragon and was used by that dragon.
It may be difficult for others to take advantage of Ah Yue, but it is definitely a simple matter for Yilong.
There is only one reason, they are of the same race
It's like a person who has lived in the world of some animals for hundreds of years and suddenly hears that a human has appeared. This feeling of meeting someone of the same species is very exciting.
"Sorry, there are no mythical things like dragons in our world, so my sister was surprised." I said with a smile.
But Ah Yue glared at me: "You are the thing."
"The sacrificial ceremony will be held at noon at the east dock. It will start in two hours. If you two are interested and want to see the dragon, you can go there now. I have talked so much with you.
I also benefited a lot." Old Man Tiemu bowed his hand.
"The pier on the east side?" I became curious.
"That's where you go on the island." As he spoke, Old Man Tiemu stood up, hammered his back, shook his head and said, "Hey, people, that's what happens when you get older."
After saying that, he returned to his house.
"Let's go" Ah Yue looked more anxious than me, holding my hand and running towards the seaside.
I was dragged away by A Yue, and I was so tired that I was panting.
An hour later, we arrived at the fishing port where we went to the island.
At this time, many people were already standing here at the fishing port.
It looked like there should be fifty or sixty people, all in their twenties, holding weapons made of stone in their hands. In the middle of the group surrounded by these people, Zhao Shanyu was tied to a half-meter-thick stone pillar.
superior.
Zhao Shanyu had passed out, his hair was disheveled, and he looked very embarrassed.
Everyone around looked at Zhao Shanyu carefully, as if they were afraid that she would wake up.
Tie Liu was also among the crowd. When he saw A Yue and I running towards him, he quickly walked up and said with a smile, "You two are also here to see the ceremony. The Dragon King will not arrive until an hour later."
"What kind of dragon is it? Is it a real dragon? Or a green dragon? A snow dragon?..." Ah Yue opened her mouth and mentioned dozens of types of dragons. Tie Liu was confused after hearing this, and shook his head and said, "How could I know?
."
"Are there so many kinds of dragons?" I asked curiously.
"Aren't you people divided into three categories? Even China has more than fifty ethnic groups. Our Dragon Clan is so big, so naturally there are many types." Ah Yue said in a low voice: "My Grandpa Dragon King's direct relatives are all real dragons.
I am a real dragon."
"The other ones are all kinds of miscellaneous dragons." Ah Yue frowned and said, "I hope they are dragons who have an intersection with my Grandpa Dragon King, not enemies.
"Your Grandpa Dragon King is the most powerful among dragons. Who else dares to deal with him?" I asked curiously.
"You don't understand. Many dragons are respectful to my Dragon King grandfather on the surface, but they hate my grandfather in their hearts. At that time, my grandfather was the most powerful one among the dragons, so his methods were a bit overbearing, which made many dragons special.
Dissatisfied." Ah Yue looked at the skyline by the sea, her eyes full of expectation.
The sea breeze has been blowing here for an hour, and an hour finally passed, and on the coastline, a black dragon shadow also appeared flying towards us from a distance.
