The world of cultivating immortals does not raise second-rate goods

Chapter 31 Monster Marriage 1
Xiao Shen was waiting for them at Xishan Residence.

"Tan Po from Gejia Village in Huaiyi County in the east reported to the county magistrate that there were monsters causing trouble in Langwozi Mountain next to Gejia Village.

The monster requires them to send a bride every three years, and the bride is under 20 years old, otherwise the village will be slaughtered. So far, 12 girls have been killed. "

Si Li thought for a moment.

"12, that means the monster has been doing evil for 36 years."

Yan Guilin's expression became solemn: "Why are you reporting it now?"

Jiang Yuan promptly added: "Huaiyi County is close to Xuanleitang, is there support from Xuanleitang behind it?"

Xiao Shen nodded: "There are indeed many doubts. Take these questions to find answers. Remember to write a detailed report when you come back."

The three of them waited for a while, but did not hear the follow-up. You look at me, and I look at you.

Is this over?

"Senior brother, your information is too little?"

"The time, place, and people are there, but why are they missing?" Xiao Shen said.

"Huaiyi County is not only close to Xuanlei Hall, but also close to Shujiu Pavilion, the main altar of Lihuo Palace in the east. If you want to get more information, you can go to Shujiu Pavilion and ask."

After saying that, he looked at Si Li with a half-smile.

This is suspected to be Shu Jiuguan's fault.

"There are nine elders in Lihuo Palace. Except for the palace master, the remaining eight elders have to take turns. Now the rotating elder of Shujiu Pavilion is Yu Mu, a disciple of Yu Qiubai.

Give each of the three of you a locator to locate directly near Shujiu Pavilion. "

Si Li expressed her loyalty: "I will definitely work hard to complete the task, and I will give my heart to the sect with a red heart."

Yan Guilin choked and asked the other two uncertainly.

"Did she roll her eyes just now?"

Xiao Shen said: "Get the locator, you can go."

But in the blink of an eye, the three of them arrived near Shujiu Pavilion.

Looking at the three big characters on the luxurious house opposite, Jiang Yuan glanced at Si Li with some worry, and kindly suggested: "Let's find a small hotel to stay in first and see how it goes?"

"Need not."

Si Li held the sword and walked straight into Shujiu Pavilion.

The Shujiu Pavilion is divided into two parts: the front and the back. The front is the exhibition hall, which displays various elixirs, which is dazzling.

She walked to the counter and directly reported her name to the shopkeeper: "My name is Si Li, from Tianyan Sect."

She was about to say, "I want to see Yu Mu," but the words felt too harsh, so she waited for the shopkeeper's reaction.

Yan Guilin and Jiang Yuan followed her silently, pretending to buy elixirs and looking around, as if they didn't recognize Si Li.

This opening is too blunt.

"You three are together, right? Elder Yu has been waiting for you for a long time. I will take you to the backyard."

Yan Guilin and Jiang Yuan quickly turned their heads to look at the smiling shopkeeper, and then looked at each other again.

This also works.

But it makes sense.

Although it has not been stated clearly yet, everyone knows that Si Li is the daughter of Yu Qiubai, and Yu Mu is the disciple of Yu Qiubai.

No matter how much Yu Mu has refrained from coming to Tianyan Sect to visit his junior sister these years, the scene is still acceptable.

The shopkeeper led the three of them to the backyard.

Yu Mu sat leisurely in the yard drinking tea.

He was dressed in purple and had a pair of small bells hanging around his waist.

She has beautiful eyebrows and deer eyes. Her appearance is kind-hearted and approachable, and her eyes are firm, giving people a calm and elegant feeling.

He looked at the three people with warm eyes, nodded and smiled.

"You came."

This was said to Si Li, who looked a little disappointed.

Si Li was not very happy: "You don't seem to welcome me here."

Yu Mu smiled apologetically and shook his head slightly: "No, I just think you are not very similar to Master and Mistress.

They are like a tree, looking like clouds, and you are like an arrow, ready to go. "

"Why do I feel like you are scolding me?"

Si Li walked over and sat opposite him unceremoniously.

Her meeting with the legendary senior brother could be described as a shock.

Simply smash the jar.

Yu Mu added: "It's not your fault."

No one who carries a blood feud can be peaceful and benevolent.

This is a defensive attack.

He looked at the other two people who were stunned and said calmly: "Sit down." A servant brought snacks and wine.

Si Li saw a palm-sized picture posted on the wine pot. The picture showed a tall beauty. The beauty had a somewhat neutral beauty, giving people a feeling of openness and openness.

What’s even more amazing is that there are nine words next to beauty:
First, there are five big characters: The house is full of beauties.

Followed by four small words: Plum Blossom Fairy.

Yu Mu smiled and explained: "This is a famous local wine, and there are many beauties in the house. Beauty is the selling point, and it tastes good and elegant, so it is very popular."

As he spoke, he poured a glass for each of the three of them.

The four drank it all in one gulp.

The taste of Si Li’s smack: “average.”

Yan Guilin agreed: "It's okay."

Jiang Yuan said: "It's okay."

Yu Mu smiled and said, "The wine you usually drink is fairy wine. It's normal for you not to have a high opinion of folk things."

Si Li suspected that he was scolding him.

But she has no proof.

"The beauties in the picture are real beauties. Some time ago, the restaurant even called out the beauties for everyone to see." Yu Mu continued.

Si Li nodded: I am the spokesperson.

She caught a glimpse of Yu Mu's bright eyes and curled his lips in disdain.

Oh man.

Jiang Yuan and Yan Guilin didn't speak, which made Yu Mu, who wanted to talk to them about beauties, lose interest.

Yu Mu said: "Let's talk about business first. Has Xiao Shen told you everything?"

All three said: "No."

It's as if Xiao Shen's information was stated but not stated.

"..."

Yu Mu couldn't help but tell them again.

"By the way, many years ago... let me state in advance that I was transferred to Shujiu Pavilion not long ago. Before that, I was in charge of the elixir garden of Lihuo Palace."

After the blame-shifting statement was released, Yu Mu got down to business.

Many years ago, it rained in the sun in Gejia Village, and the fox got married.

A man in the village was curious and quietly followed the wedding procession.

The next day, the monster came to Gejia Village and said that someone had interfered with the fox's marriage, causing the marriage to fail. They didn't know who it was, but they only knew that he was from Gejia Village.

They asked Gejiacun to compensate their bride.

Otherwise, the village will be massacred.

People who come to Gejia Village here should resist, report to the relevant people, and collect money to hire someone to eliminate the demon.

but……

The monsters are very reasonable and say that the marriage will follow the marriage rules and they will give a bride price.

100 taels of silver.

The requirement is that the daughter must be innocent.

You know, an average family in the folk spends 5 taels of silver per person per year. The village is relatively poor, and a person only spends [-] taels of silver per year at most.

Raising a daughter for 15 years cost less than 50 taels of silver.

If you marry your daughter off, not to mention that there are not so many colorful gifts to receive, you will also have to pay a dowry when you get married off. The daughter will be contributing to other families.

If the son-in-law is not chosen well, he will go to the mother-in-law's house to cause trouble.

But if you marry your daughter to a monster, you can get 100 taels of silver and no other troubles.

Make a lot of money.

So everyone was aggrieved, but no one asked the monks to eliminate the demon.

So when the first daughter was given away and her family received 100 taels of silver, everyone was envious.

Over time, no more boys or girls were born in the village.

Although they knew that the first daughter never came out.

Of course, those who couldn't stand this had moved away from the village.

Why should we report monsters now?

First of all, there are fewer people in the village, and there are not so many daughters.

Secondly, the person who reported the monster was Granny Tan, the wife of the village chief.

Granny Tan is over fifty years old and has no children. Her husband gambles, drinks, and goes to prostitutes. He often asks her for money and beats her if she doesn't want it.

She was probably disheartened and wanted to do something for the village and end it all.
