Chapter 82 Return to the Black River Ganzhou.
Different from the sky full of yellow sand before, after a rain, it will be a completely different scene.
The rain washed away the dust on the official road, and the air became much fresher.
It's just that this land is inherently barren and desolate.
Even if it is washed by rain, it cannot disguise itself as the misty and rainy scenery of Jiangnan.
On the official road, the four riders Crimson-Eyed Stallion walked leisurely.
Shi Chongyue tightened the reins, and Crimson-Eyed Stallion scratched his hooves impatiently, causing a splash of mud.
"We walk slower than a turtle crawls. By the time we get there, that monster will probably have a litter of babies!"
Zhao Yi heard this and said with a smile, "Brother Shi, if you think the horse is slow, you can get down and walk by yourself. I think it is faster than the horse."
"..."
Li Qingyuan smoothed things over, "It's not that we want to waste time, it's just that the land after the rain is not suitable for riding."
He pointed to the official road in front of him, whose original appearance was almost invisible.
"We are now in the western section of Ganzhou. This place is one of the few blessed places on Longyou Circuit. Once the rain soaked it, it looked like this."
Li Qingyuan smiled bitterly, "Crimson-Eyed Stallion No matter how fast your feet are, you won't be able to move out if you are stuck in this mud."
"It only takes half a day's work. It just so happens that Miss Jiang also tells us what happened to the Black River, so that we can have a better understanding."
Jiang Yuechu thought for a moment and then recounted what happened to the Black River in a concise and concise manner.
"Back then, I first joined Demon Suppression Bureau..."
From the smell of the river water, to what the old man said, to A-Shui in Dragon King Temple, to what Black Water Village villagers did, and finally to Backwater Bay killing that Black-Scaled Water Monster.
She spoke very plainly, as if she was talking about an old thing that had nothing to do with her.
But in the ears of the other three people, it was a different story.
"Alas..."
Li Qingyuan let out a long sigh, with a complex look on his face, "Sinking my daughter into the pond with my own hands... how sad and stupid."
"Foolish?"
Shi Chongyue disagreed and sneered.
"Old Li, you have read too many books and your brain has become stupid because of reading. What Xing'er is carrying in your belly is Demon Fetus! I see that Muramasa is not stupid, but is very decisive!"
Li Qingyuan frowned and was about to refute.
A suppressed cough sounded first.
"Cough... cough cough..."
Zhao Yi raised his hand to cover his mouth, and then slowly opened his mouth.
"What Brother Shi said does have some truth to it."
"It's just... no matter how decisive Muramasa is, won't Black River still stink? Aren't the people still going to have no water to drink? In the end, won't they still have to rely on us Demon Suppression Bureau to wipe their butts?"
"Monsters are causing trouble and the people are trying to survive. We kill the monsters for merit. We are just doing what we need. How can there be so much right and wrong?"
His words made Shi Chongyue stunned for a moment.
Li Qingyuan shook his head, obviously not agreeing with Zhao Yi's statement.
"Brother Zhao, what you said is wrong. As Demon Suppression Bureau people, we are subject to the laws of the imperial court and our duty is to protect the people. The villagers' abuse of lynching has violated the Great Tang Code law. How is it different from Demon?"
"If everyone only lives for themselves and can do whatever they want, then what's the difference between this world and purgatory?"
"Okay, okay."
Shi Chongyue waved his hand impatiently, clamped the horse's belly, and urged Crimson-Eyed Stallion to take a few steps forward, turned his head and said, "What's the use of talking about these sesame seeds and rotten millet? Let's talk about the current situation."
"Back then, my mother...Miss Jiang killed the monster, and now Yao Qi appears again. Could it be that the one she killed earlier was a male, and now I'm afraid it's the female who has come back with her whole family to take revenge?"
Jiang Yuechu narrowed his eyes and glanced at him.
"What did you just say, mother?"
"What mother? Did you hear it wrong?" Shi Chongyue had no expression on his face.
But in my heart I was slapping myself wildly.
Shi Chongyue ah Shi Chongyue, I just worry about this every day, why are you saying it now?!
Zhao Yi shook his head, "It's unlikely... Let's not talk about whether the previous monster had a mate. He Bi borrowed a human woman to give birth to Demon Fetus. Most of the water monsters live alone and have a strong sense of territory. They rarely form groups."
"Then what do you think?"
"In my opinion, it seems... the old demon died and a new demon came along."
Li Qingyuan pondered for a moment and expressed his opinion.
"What the two of you said is possible, or... it's unknown what back-up plan the monster left behind."
After saying this, he turned his head again and asked Jiang Yuechu.
"Miss Jiang, the body of the woman named Xing'er... how was she disposed of later?"
Jiang Yuechu was stunned.
Corpse?
She frowned and thought back.
Back then... back then, I was so focused on absorbing Demon's flesh and blood that I didn't care about anything else.
The aftermath of collecting the corpses was naturally handled by Team Leader Liu Chen at that time.
She thought for a while and said truthfully, "I have never done anything about this matter. I was just Demon Suppression Guard at the time. All the aftermath matters were handled by Team Leader at that time."
She paused and added another sentence.
"He has always acted prudently and will not miss anything if he thinks about it."
(This paragraph was confused by Shen He, please make up your own mind)
Black River upstream.
Dragon King Temple.
In the temple, all that is left of the original statue is a bare base, shrouded in heavy shadow.
...(This paragraph is 300 words, in short it is the plot you want)
Inside the temple, deathly silence finally returned.
The girl slowly sat up and arranged her clothes slowly.
Under the clothes, there were faint dragon scales flashing.
She stretched out, barefooted, lightly jumped off the altar table, and walked step by step to the man.
The man seemed to have regained his consciousness, his eyes were full of fear, he wanted to move back, but he didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.
The girl knelt down, stretched out her slender fingers, and gently put her hand on the man's arm under his horrified gaze.
Then, tear it hard.
Stab--
With a muffled sound of flesh and blood being separated, a relatively strong arm was torn off by her.
"Ah----"
The girl didn't even look at him, she just brought the bloody severed arm to her lips, stretched out her lilac tongue, licked the blood stains on it, bit off a piece of flesh, and chewed it carefully.
"Now that Dragon Pearl has just matured, it is the time when it needs supplements."
"When I rest here for some time, I must go to Great Tang's Central Plains to see it."
Thinking of this, her eyes were filled with anticipation.
I heard that there is a prosperous population, abundant products, and countless martial arts masters.
Come to think of it, the taste of flesh and blood must be a hundred times more delicious than that of ordinary people in such frontier places.
