Seeking the Flying Sword Path Chapter 48: Departure

bsp;Night, inside Yi Xiao’s house in the county governor’s mansion.

She was alone in front of her desk, the lights were dim, the windows were open, and the sky was full of stars tonight.

"Dad, I will have to deal with the water **** tomorrow." Yi Xiao held the jade pendant in his hand and murmured in a low voice, "Maybe you don't care whether I live or die. Ten years have passed, you You have traveled all over the world but never came to see me again. You are my only relative, so cruel, so cruel.”

……

Night, Qin Mansion.

Qin Yun was sitting in front of the window. A flying sword flew out of his palm and quickly grew to three feet long.

Holding this silver sword, Qin Yun gently wiped the blade with his fingers. The sword was cold: "For thirteen years, I have been practicing this flying sword just for this day!"

I sat there all night, and before I knew it, the sky outside the window turned white.

Qin Yun stood up and inserted the silver sword in his hand directly into the scabbard. He still disguised himself as an ordinary flying sword instead of his natal flying sword.

Squeak, the door opens.

Qin Yun left the yard.

"Good morning, Second Young Master."

"Good morning, Second Young Master."

The servants shouted respectfully.

Qin Yun said: "Gui, prepare a horse for me."

"Yes, Second Young Master." The servant Agui immediately went to the stable to fetch the horse.

Out of the gate of Qin Mansion, horses were quickly brought over.

After Qin Yun got on the horse, he said: "Uncle Li, I am going out today and may not come back in the evening."

"Okay." Li Bolian responded with a smile. For a cultivator like his second son, it was normal for him to go out for ten and a half days.

"Drive!"

Qin Yun immediately rode away.

It’s getting very early now, and there are very few people on the street. Even on Jinglou Street, only vendors have set up their stalls early.

"Fat Liu, give me five buns." Qin Yun rode to a bun seller and said immediately.

"Second Young Master?" The fat man selling steamed buns enthusiastically took out a piece of oil paper and wrapped five meat buns, and handed them to Qin Yun, "Second Young Master, come to my place to eat steamed buns, no money required."

"Keep it." Qin Yun threw out ten big coins, which flew neatly onto the stool next to the stall.

Qin Yun then rode away.

Fatty Liu smiled and collected ten big coins, and other vendors on the side said: "Fat Liu, is that the second young master? The second young master of the Qin family?"

"I heard that the second young master of Qin Mansion is an immortal cultivator."

"Immortal cultivators are also given money to eat steamed buns."

The surrounding vendors were talking a lot.

Fatty Liu said proudly: "What do you know? Ten years ago, when the second young master was still young, he often came to me to eat steamed buns, and he liked my steamed buns the most."

……

Qin Yun couldn't help but smile as he ate the meat buns he often ate in his youth. I remember that I had just arrived in the county town from the village. At that time, my father had broken his arm and was still recovering from his injuries. One time, my mother came back and bought some meat buns. She and her brother shared the meat buns, and she ate most of them. It was so delicious. After his father became a head catcher, he often bought Fatty Liu's meat buns.

After eating the meat buns, he rode very fast all the way. The sun only showed half of his face, and Qin Yun left the east city gate.

"Yi Xiao hasn't arrived yet?" Qin Yun glanced at him, then dismounted outside the east city gate and waited.

Waited for a moment.

I saw Yi Xiao, dressed in light green robes, riding out of the east city gate. As soon as Yi Xiao came out, he saw Qin Yun.

"Coming?" Qin Yun mounted his horse.

"You came out quite early." Yi Xiao said with a smile.

"I've been waiting for this day for too long. Also, Miss Yi, I have to thank you." Qin Yun said, Yi Xiao indeed collected more information than he did. If he followed his original plan, he would probably have big regrets. .

"I was going to take action, and I invited you, so let's go." Yi Xiao said.

"Let's go."

The two immediately rode forward together.

Two horses galloped along the official road, going very fast. Occasionally, some villagers' teams were seen on the side of the official road. The teams in each village had carriages, and there were children on the carriages, usually twenty children. Some of these children had tears on their faces, some were in a daze, and some were eating steamed buns.

"On June 28th, children in each village must be dedicated to the Water God." Qin Yun explained, "It must also be June 28th, not earlier, not later! Because the Water God's Mansion There are forbidden areas for twenty miles around, and any human who dares to enter the forbidden areas without permission will be killed without mercy."

"The entire Guangling County is very large, with nearly 20 county towns and millions of people. Some farther away even have to travel seven or eight hundred miles to send their children to the Water God's Mansion, so they have to be several days in advance. Like these It’s also very common to leave two or three days in advance,” Qin Yun said, “Because they are delivered every year, each village has already had experience in traveling.”

They all have experience.

Qin Yun felt a sting in his heart. It had been like this for more than two hundred years.

"They won't need these experiences in the future." Yi Xiao said.

"Yes, no need anymore." Qin Yun nodded.

Da da da…

The horse's hooves galloped all the way towards the Water God's Mansion.

******

A village in Yougao County.

Chang Er and his family of three are being locked up in a cell.

The tall and thin man led two men to the cell and opened the chains with his own hands. The tall and thin man said: "Second brother, come out."

The woman in the cell rushed out and grabbed the tall and thin man: "Where is my baby? Where is the baby?"

"The team sending off boys and girls has been setting out for a day." The tall and thin man said calmly.

The woman was stunned and sat down on the ground, speechless.

"Xiao'e, we can't help our baby." Chang Er held the other child in his arms with red eyes, and the child was sleeping soundly.

"No, no..." the woman cried in a low voice. She knew that there was nothing she could do. It had been like this year after year, generation after generation, for more than two hundred years!

……

There are nearly 20 counties in Guangling County, so many villages, and so many families are grieving. But the great demon of the water **** can cover the sky with one hand. He can send monsters to massacre an entire village, or he can cause huge floods and submerge countless villages, resulting in heavy casualties.

Qin Yun and Yi Xiao hurriedly traveled two hundred miles. The sun was high and they arrived at their destination.

"Ahead is the Monster Village." Qin Yun pointed ahead, "Boys and girls from all villages in Guangling County are sent to this Monster Village. The Village is only ten miles away from the Water God's Mansion! Ordinary villagers are not qualified. Close to the Water God's Mansion."

"Brother Qin, you said that twenty miles around the Water God's Mansion are forbidden areas. Anyone who invades will be killed without mercy. So aren't we now a little more than ten miles away from the Water God's Mansion?" Yi Xiao said with a smile.

"Yes, so the monsters in this cottage will be killed soon." Qin Yun nodded, "We'd better not wait for them, kill them directly, and kill this cottage in one fell swoop! Let's give the water **** a show of strength first."

"The formations laid out by the Water God are spread out for eighteen miles around the mansion. He should have discovered us. Let's see if he can bear it after we destroy the stronghold." Yi Xiao also said.

"If he doesn't dare to come to the two of us who are not innate, he might as well commit suicide." Qin Yundao said, "Perhaps in his eyes, we are the prey."

The two were chatting and laughing.

He quickly approached the mountain stronghold on horseback. This monster stronghold was built at the foot of the mountain to welcome the boys and girls from the villages.

"Huh? It's not June 28 yet, why are people here?" On an arrow tower in the monster village, there were two little monsters looking at a man and a woman riding horses in the distance.

"You didn't bring any boys or girls?"

"Dare you invade the forbidden area set by the Water God?"

The two little demons looked at each other.

"Leader, there are enemies, a man and a woman!" One of the little demons shouted loudly.

The entire monster village soon became commotion, and monsters came out one after another. Some of them were eating roasted human flesh. They were responsible for taking in boys and girls. These monsters were extremely trusted by the water god. One by one, they went to the entrance of the cottage and looked at a man and a woman riding horses in the distance.

"You dare to kill a man and a woman?"

"You are so brave, catch it and let the man eat it! The woman plays with it first and then eats it."

One by one they shouted.

"Leader, I heard that the two human cultivators who were killed on Cangya Mountain were a man and a woman." The monster with pointed ears said loudly, and the surrounding monsters suddenly became quiet, and the thin monster The leader's eyes were as wide as copper bells: "The man and woman from Cangya Mountain?"
