Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 124 128 Why is it raining

"Quick! Find it quickly! Xu Jin, find me the pheasant slave!"

After a brief moment of stupefaction, Zuo Ming became a little flustered.

He is very worried about Li Zhi and Li Yin now, if they unfortunately encounter the snake that has shed its skin, they will definitely not live for half a second.

Xu Jin also realized the urgency of the matter, and immediately searched again without saying a word.As for Shen Ding and Wu Dazhu, they stood guard on both sides with Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber.

Xu Jin's ability is unquestionable, and after a while, he found the footsteps of Li Zhi and the others again.

However, as time went by, his search became slower and slower.

Because as they advanced, there were many pedestrian footprints around, which greatly disturbed Xu Jin's search.

And when they reached a long river, they completely lost traces of Li Zhi.

"This is already the residential area of ​​the Liao People's Department. Since His Royal Highness Jin Wang and Shu Wang have arrived here, they should not encounter that big snake. There is a group of people over there. Let's go and ask!"

After losing the clue, Xu Jin pointed to a group of humans in the distance.

It was expected that Li Zhi and Li Min would be safe for the time being, Zuo Ming was relieved a lot, nodded immediately, and then walked towards the group of Liaozi tribesmen.

The Liaozi tribe seemed to be performing a very sacred ceremony, and they didn't notice Zuo Ming's arrival.At this time, Zuo Ming didn't dare to disturb them, so he took Shen Ding and the others to watch curiously.

The rituals of those Liaozi tribesmen are very strange. In addition to some incense candles, there is a very strange pattern in the middle, which is an inverted triangle, and there are some strange symbols in the middle. Zuo Ming can’t understand the meaning, only knows They are all outlined by cinnabar.

And in the center of that pattern was a doll in a red dress of great joy.The doll was about two or three years old, and was looking at one of the old people with a ignorant expression.

The old man's expression was also very strange, with sacredness, sadness and pain.

With such a complex emotion, the old man was chanting something in a slang that Zuo Ming could not understand, like a congratulatory speech or a kind of pleading.

After he finished reading, he knelt down on the ground first, and began to pay homage to the doll.

Seeing those people paying homage to the doll, Zuo Ming was very puzzled, not knowing what they were doing.

"Yanzu, the customs of this Liaozi tribe are similar to yours, do you know what they are doing?"

Remembering that Wu Dazhu was a Liao, Zuo Ming asked him in a low voice.

Hearing Zuo Ming's question, Wu Dazhu shook his head lightly, "I don't know, our tribe has never held such a ceremony before!"

"I know a little bit about their ceremony. It seems to be a kind of sacrifice! When I was very young, there was a flood in our place one year, and the folks in my hometown worshiped the Dragon King like this! First put the offerings, and then read Saying goodbye, pray to the Dragon King to take the offering.”

At this time, Xu Jin spoke, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, as well as a trace of fear and hatred.

"A sacrifice? You mean, that little doll is a sacrifice?"

Hearing this, Zuo Ming opened his mouth wide and cried out in disbelief.

"It's not unusual. In previous years when there was a severe drought or flood, we also had sacrifices to living beings. To put it bluntly, some Taoist monks just ignored human lives! However, their ceremony is a little different. Even if it is a sacrifice to living beings in our place, There should be some cattle and sheep sacrifices as supplements. They only have a child here, and there are no melons and fruits, which is really strange."

Seeing the disbelief on Zuo Ming's face, Shen Ding also smiled mockingly, but as he talked, there was also a trace of doubt on his face.

"There is such a thing!?"

Shen Ding spoke calmly, but Zuo Ming exclaimed again.Then, he looked at the child in the distance with a struggling face.

He really wanted to save the child, but if he did that, he would definitely anger those natives. There were only four of them, three masters plus a waste like him, and there were more than 40 people on the opposite side. They really had no chance of winning .

But Zuo Ming hesitated there, and those natives would not wait for him. Seeing the old man finish his speech and slowly walk towards the child, Zuo Ming finally couldn't help it, and rushed over to snatch the child.

Zuo Ming made a move, and Shen Ding and others naturally came to his side in an instant and protected him in the middle.

However, when Zuo Ming and the others were ready to meet the rage of the natives, the rage and attack they imagined did not come.

Seeing Zuo Ming grabbing the child and holding it to his chest, the natives showed a bit of surprise at first, and then retreated instead of advancing, and scattered in all directions with horror on their faces.

But the old man yelled with fear on his face, "Several nobles who came from afar, please put down your old grandson quickly, and then get out of the way, otherwise, the Dragon God will be angry, everyone! Life is at stake!"

"Returning to the Dragon God! I'm going to fuck your grandma! I won't even spare my own grandson, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

It was good that the old man didn't speak, but Zuo Ming became even angrier when he spoke.

Only now did he know that the child was actually his biological grandson.

"Young master! Things are really not what you think! The little old man doesn't want to do this! Just listen to the little old man's persuasion, let the little old man's grandson go first, and then come over! This old man It is for your own good, there is absolutely no trace of malice!"

"Yeah! Young master, put down the caterpillars first, come over and talk later! It's really dangerous over there!"

Seeing that Zuo Ming was angry, the old man smiled bitterly, and continued to persuade with helplessness and sadness in his eyes, while some other villagers who could speak the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty also followed suit.

Seeing them keep making him put down the child and stay away from the child, Zuo Ming immediately laughed mockingly.

"Do you think I'm a fool? Is it dangerous? I'm standing here. What kind of dragon god of yours can eat me? If I really go to your side, it will be really dangerous! If you have the guts, Come here and challenge me one-on-one, and I will beat ten of you alone!"

After hearing this, Shen Ding and the others all had strange expressions on their faces.

However, what they didn't expect was that just after Zuo Ming finished speaking, the group of natives from the Liaozi tribe scattered back again with horror on their faces, as if they had seen a ghost.

Seeing this situation, Zuo Ming was slightly taken aback, but then he smiled triumphantly, "Did you see it? Shen Ding! They have already been overwhelmed by Lord Ben's domineering power!"

After hearing this, Shen Ding really didn't know what to say, and now he was wondering why those people reacted like this.It was as if he was really afraid of Zuo Ming to the extreme.

"Hey! Why is it raining?"

However, at this moment, Zuo Ming suddenly felt a chill on his forehead, and then let out a light sigh, and then touched his forehead reflexively.

The sticky and slippery feel of the tentacles is not rainwater at first glance.

Looking at the lump of viscous liquid on Zuo Ming's right hand, Shen Ding, Wu Dazhu and Xu Jin were stunned for a moment, then slowly raised their heads with twitching corners of their eyes, and looked at the top of Zuo Ming's head.

Seeing this, the three swallowed their saliva in unison, and then clenched the weapons in their hands with pale faces.

"Uh, don't talk for now! Let me guess, is there a big guy on top of me?"

Staring blankly at the mucus on his hands, and seeing Shen Ding's trembling appearance, Zuo Ming suddenly smiled wryly.

"Master Hou is really clever! You are right! There is indeed a big guy on top of your head!"

Shen Ding replied nervously.

"How big is it?"

Also swallowed, Zuo Ming continued to ask.

"It's as big as our water tank!"

Making a smile uglier than crying at Zuo Ming, Shen Ding replied again.

"Well, are you ready?"

Hearing that that guy was bigger than a water tank, Zuo Ming couldn't help swallowing, and then said.

"What are you preparing for?" Shen Ding, Wu Dazhu and Xu Jin all looked puzzled.

"Get ready to save me!"

Seeing the doubts on their faces, Zuo Ming said speechlessly.

"Master Hou! I think you should let go of that child slowly. Our weapon is like a toothpick in front of that thing. Even if we want to save you, we will be powerless!"

Hearing that Zuo Ming asked them to save him, Shen Ding suddenly said dumbfounded.

However, before he finished speaking, Zuo Ming threw the child into his arms, and then ran towards the distance like crazy.

This scene happened very quickly, the huge monster behind Zuo Ming first glanced at Shen Ding who was holding the child, and then hurried towards Zuo Ming who was running wildly.

It seems to prefer running prey to stationary prey, which is its nature!
Feeling a gust of wind behind him, Zuo Ming yelled inwardly, and saw a huge snake head when he turned his head.

A snake that big was probably the owner of the snake skin they had seen before.It might be its father or mother.

The speed of the giant snake was extremely fast, and it caught up to Zuo Ming in almost two breaths, and then its huge snake head grabbed Zuo Ming lightly and threw it into the sky.

Seeing that the giant snake opened its mouth wide and wanted to swallow itself directly, Zuo Ming immediately pulled out the daggers on his legs and feet reflexively, and then turned around and stabbed the giant snake's snout.

Being stabbed in the snout by Zuo Ming, the giant snake roared immediately, then shook its head, shaking Zuo Ming so that it flew out like a sandbag.

Seeing this situation, Wu Dazhu and Xu Jin immediately mustered up their courage, and took their swords to slash at the giant snake's body!Shen Ding, on the other hand, protected the child and fled to the distance.

However, before Shen Ding ran far, he saw Wu Dazhu flashing from his side like a cannonball, and flew backwards!
