But the five masters and servants ran all the way, day and night. Unconsciously, they had been gone for more than half a month, and the hot weather was even more unbearable.

That day, it was getting late. Xuan Yi attached himself to Di Long and said, "My servants, where can I stay tonight?"

Wuxin said: "Miss, we are running for our lives, why do we care about where to stay?"

Xuan Yi said: "So what if you run away? You can't treat yourself harshly when you go out!"

Guijiu echoed: "What the lady said is absolutely true. It is a wonderful thing to have a warm bed and warm quilt at this time to rest. These days when the moon is covered with stars and sleeping in the open air, it really makes the lady suffer a lot.

crime."

Di Long also said: "We should find a place to go, have a good sleep and recuperate our spirits, otherwise we will be exhausted even if we are not overtaken."

Wu Xin said helplessly: "We will walk a little further by the moonlight and wait until we find someone to live in."

The masters and servants had no choice but to continue moving forward with Wu Xin.

After a short while, they suddenly saw a huge pool of rolling lava blocking the way.

Guijiu asked: "What the hell are we at?"

Dillon: "Where did this lava lake come from? How to get by?"

Wu Xin leaned down and raised his hand to touch the Boli lava, sighing: "It's hot! It seems I can't get through it!"

Xuan Yi said: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you wade through such a large magma lake?"

Wuxin replied: "Miss, since we can't get through, we can only continue to go around!"

Xuan Yi was exhausted physically and mentally, and was so angry that he kept silent.

Wu Xin saw her appearance and hurriedly advised her: "Miss, please don't sigh. Look, it's not a home over there."

Xuan Yi looked up, and sure enough he saw a cluster of farmhouses, with about a hundred families, leaning on the lake and the mountains, with few lights.

Then he turned over and jumped down happily and walked straight into the village.

Everyone wiped the dust from their faces, shook their clothes, and came to the door of a house. Seeing that the door was ajar, they did not dare to break in without permission.

After standing there mumbling for a while, I saw a strong man walking out and suddenly looked up and saw them.

"You little thieves, what are you eavesdropping outside the door?" The man saw a few people sneaking outside the door without knocking. He just thought they were there eavesdropping, so he scolded them.

Xuan Yi quickly explained: "Brother, I misunderstood. We were passing by Guibao Land and we didn't want to eavesdrop!"

The man said: "Then what are you doing here?"

Xuan Yi bowed and said: "Brother, we are passing through here on our way to Lingshui Realm. When we arrived at your place today, it was getting late. I saw Zhuangzi here and came here to stay for the night. We will leave tomorrow."

The man nodded: "In that case, please come in and rest under the roof."

Xuan Yi nodded in thanks and walked into the hall with his four servants.

In the hall, some villagers were kneeling down to worship. Guijiu asked curiously: "Brother, what are you doing?"

When the man heard this, he turned around and said, "This is an important event in the clan, and we are offering sacrifices to the gods."

Guijiu said happily: "Since we are offering sacrifices to gods, we must have prepared a lot of delicious food. Let's put it out quickly so that we can eat and sleep well."

After hearing this, the villagers were surprised and thought: "Where did this shameless bald donkey come from? Why did he open his mouth to ask for food as soon as he entered someone else's house?"

Xuan Yi muttered from the side: "You daredevil! How can you talk like this!"

The man didn't care. He pulled out a few stools and invited everyone to sit in the next hall.

While chatting and sitting cross-legged, an old man walked in again, leaning on a cane and saying: "My dear friends, please be polite. We are in the midst of an important event in the clan and have not treated you well. I hope you can atone for your sins."

The man who entered the door in front stood up quickly and greeted the old man and introduced him: "This is the village chief of our village, who is presiding over our god worship ceremony; these few are young travelers passing by who want to rush to Lingshui. The world is full of people who are kind to each other."

The old village chief leaned on his crutch, and after saluting the five of them, he also sat down and shouted: "Look at the tea, put out delicious food and entertain them."

Several servants did not dare to neglect and hurriedly organized.

Seeing this, Xuan Yi couldn't help but ask: "Village chief, how can we bear your hospitality?"

The old village chief said: "Little friends, don't be polite. We are guests from afar. It's time for the village to have a good harvest this year. It's just a meal, so I can afford it!"

Xuan Yi said happily: "Then thank the old village chief, and we will no longer be polite to you!"

The old village chief laughed and saw a group of servants setting up a table of delicious food, with rice, wine and meat arranged neatly.

Unintentionally, when Gui Jiu and Ti Long saw it, they grabbed it and ate it without tasting it.

When Xuan Yi and Peng Peng saw the three of them eating, they were afraid that they would finish them in a few seconds, so they quickly took the bowls and chopsticks and rushed to grab the food.

The village chief next to him laughed and said: "Eat slowly! Eat slowly! There is still more!"

Xuan Yi replied awkwardly: "It makes the village chief laugh, some of my servants are really hungry."

The servants, regardless of the rice or steamed buns, were slurping all over the place and shouting: "More rice! More rice!"

In no time, all the food on the table was eaten!

Seeing this, Xuan Yi shouted: "You guys, please eat less. Although the village has a bumper harvest, it can't stand your eating and drinking like this. Just eat half full."

Guijiu licked the bottom of the bowl and said: "As the saying goes, if you are full and warm, you will think of lust, and if you are hungry and cold, you will have cravings. This half-full meal is just right."

Xuan Yi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Grandpa, don't pay attention to him! We have finished eating, please ask someone to put away the bowls and chopsticks!"

The old village chief bowed and said, "To be honest with you guys, I'm not afraid of guests on weekdays. But it's late at night, and it's really hard for people with big appetites like you to be full. Please forgive me."

Xuan Yi said: "Village chief, please don't blame yourself! We have eaten well and will be a good student. Thank you!"

After saying this, he asked the servant boy to clear the table.

Xuan Yi asked again: "Old village chief, what is your surname?"

The village chief said: "My surname is Luo."

Xuan Yi: "May I ask Village Chief Luo which deity you are offering sacrifices to?"

The old village chief said: "This is to worship the great unicorn bat immortal."

Guijiu said with a smile: "The old village chief is talking nonsense! That unicorn has not been seen for thousands of years and has long been extinct. Where did a hybrid like the unicorn bat come from? Don't be frightened by some monster!"

When the old village chief heard this, he was shocked and said: "This idiot can't talk nonsense. If the great immortal listens to it, he will definitely come to harm our village! Did any of you who passed by see the lake formed by the red magma in front of us?"

Wuxin said: "I saw a piece of red water blocking the way, so I came to Guibao to stay overnight."

The old village chief said: "Have you ever seen anything when you went to the lake?"

Wu Xin said: "It's a vast ocean, and I can't see anything. I just feel that the lava is boiling hot, and I can't cross it! Why is there such a lake here?"

The old village chief said: "In this lake, there is a volcano fairy palace, and the great Qilin immortal lives in it!"

Xuan Yi shook his head and said: "I have never heard of it. Please tell the village chief more carefully. How powerful is the Great Immortal Qilin?"

The village chief burst into tears and said, "Little friends, I don't know! That great immortal occupies a lake and sea, and governs the people thousands of miles away. We need to worship him every year and pay tribute every year."

Xuan Yi said: "What if you don't sacrifice?"

The old village chief was frustrated and beat his chest, saying: "If we don't sacrifice, we won't get clean water from the lake. The villagers will have no water to drink, and the farmers will have no water for irrigation. We can only wait to die! What's even more hateful is that this great immortal not only wants us

Killing pigs and sheep to support him, and marrying a girl of about eighteen years old every year, all of which will never come back, and you are really not an upright immortal."

Wuxin said: "Marry a bride every year?"

The village chief said: "Exactly."

Wuxin said: "There are such good things, why am I not so lucky!"

When Xuan Yi and Peng Peng heard this, they raised their fists and smashed them, shouting: "You are a bad person without seriousness!"

Wu Xin covered his head and did not dare to speak any more.

Xuan Yi then asked: "Which girl's turn is it this year?"

The old village chief said with a mournful face: "This year it is my family's turn. There are hundreds of families living here, which is called Luojiazhuang. This immortal sacrifices once a year and asks for a girl, cattle, sheep and livestock. Once the sacrifice is made, he takes care of it.

We have clean water every year; if we don’t offer sacrifices, we will suffer from drought and thirst for a year.”

Xuan Yi said: "How pitiful!"

The village chief continued to cry: "I am seventy-five years old this year, and I only have one granddaughter, who is exactly eighteen years old, but I cannot avoid this disaster, so I will become the bride of the great immortal."

Xuan Yi said: "When are you going to get married?"

The old village chief said with tears: "Tomorrow the great immortal will leave the house to pick up the bride."

Xuan Yi asked again: "Can you see what he looks like? What is his source of energy and cultivation?"

The village chief said: "You can't see his appearance, you can only see a burst of flames, and the sacrifices on the altar at the entrance of the village are swept away and disappeared!"

Xuan Yi said: "So that's it, it doesn't matter, we eat your food and drink your food, and tomorrow we will see for you whether the great immortal is real or not."

The old man said: "Is it possible that you can deal with that great immortal? When he first came here, he swallowed up all the saints in the village. Children like you, please don't provoke him casually, or you will lose your life!"

Wu Xin said: "Don't worry, if we can't defeat you, we won't take action rashly and cause trouble for you."

The village chief nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, but you can't be rash."

Wuxin said: "Just wait for the festival tomorrow?"

The village chief said: "Yes! Tomorrow is the festival at noon!"

After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed: "I hope these little saints can help us escape from the sea of ​​suffering. I am very grateful for my granddaughter."

Xuan Yi helped the old village chief up and said, "Don't be so hasty to thank me, old man. If he is really an immortal, there is nothing we can do!"

The old village chief said: "All the little saints are willing to help, but it is good to have a glimmer of hope."

After saying that, he asked someone to bring some meat so that the few of them would be fuller.

Xuan Yi said to the servants: "Are you confident that you can capture that monster?"

Di Long said: "Miss, don't worry, with the boss here, even a true immortal can be captured for you!"

Xuan Yi asked strangely: "Boss? Who is your boss?"

Di Long hurriedly covered his mouth and said nothing. He only dared to glance at Wu Xin secretly.

Xuan Yi looked at Wu Xin and asked, "When did you become his boss?"

Wu Xin hurriedly explained: "The boss the fourth brother mentioned refers to Lie Rong, the head of the martial arts academy, not me! He knew that I had sensed that guy and was afraid he would arrive soon, so he secretly glanced at me."

After saying this, he still glared at Di Long fiercely, making the thieving cat shrink its neck in fright, lowered its head and gnawed the fruit in its hand.

Xuan Yi said happily: "Xiao Wu, how did you feel it?"

Wuxin replied: "I am also a fire origin practitioner, so I am naturally more sensitive to his origin energy!
