The catfish tumbling in the air was cut in half in an instant, and the dark clouds and heavy rain in the sky also cracked instantly because of this, and sunlight shone through the gap in the clouds that seemed to be cut by a knife.

The fat catfish with its head and body separated wanted to struggle under the effect of the incense, but the damage to its soul made it lose control of the corpse. The soul left the body with hatred and glanced at the fisherman unwillingly.

bang——

With a casual wave of his hand, Lu Yan shattered the soul that had just taken shape, and the fish body and head falling from the air completely disappeared after touching his hand.

Weird, powerful, mysterious.

The people who wanted to surround Lu Yan stood still, deeply frightened. The moves he displayed were not something that an ordinary practitioner could perform.

Pulling the two children, Lu Yan jumped onto the raft under the gaze of everyone. He pushed the bamboo pole hard to free the raft from the mooring, and at the same time released the fire crows into the water, raising clouds to block the view.

After doing all this, he immediately destroyed the raft, dragged his two children and carried Yingying in the fish basket, and disappeared completely from the river.

Chapter 382 Taihu Lake.

Four hours after the "River God" was killed.

The young man sniffed the tip of his nose; an inexplicable fragrance made him hungry. He struggled to open his eyes, his chaotic mind a little confused for a moment, until a piece of fish meat with a moderate temperature was stuffed into his mouth. He chewed it a few times, and for some reason his body regained strength.

When he regained his consciousness, he recalled what had happened. In Taihu City, he was abducted because he was too playful and out of the sight of the servants and guards. Then he and another girl were sold to a riverside village and became sacrifices to the river god.

Thinking of this, he suddenly woke up and looked around, and found himself lying in a familiar small courtyard with a wet girl lying beside him.

How did you come back?

The boy had no memory, but the familiar scene made him cry out loudly, "Dad! Mom!"

The cry attracted many servants. When they saw the young master who had been lost and returned, they widened their eyes and immediately ran to inform the master and mistress in panic.

"I didn't expect that child to be the child of a wealthy family in the city. Even such a person would get lost."

On the bustling streets of Taihu City, Lu Yan, dressed as a scholar, was holding a white fox. His handsome outfit was sure to turn heads.

After completing the side quest in Hebian Village, Lu Yan hurried to Taihu City. He happened to see a notice at the entrance of the city gate, so he took the opportunity to send both of them to the boy's home.

"After all, kidnappers don't care about you. Officials' children have gone missing before."

Lu Yan was not surprised. These kinds of things usually don't have a fixed residence. If they are taken away and not discovered in the first place, it will be bad once they leave the city. They will probably never be found again.

'What will become of that girl?'

"Become a servant."

Lu Yan didn't care about the two children he rescued casually. He reached into the backpack and took out the grilled fish. The fragrance was so fragrant that it made people drool just by smelling it.

Yingying opened her mouth and ate the fish he handed to her, licking her tongue and unable to stop. The meat of this wild god was so delicious that it made people want to eat more.

On the way to send the two children home, Lu Yan stopped for a while, threw away the internal organs, took out the fish meat and fish head, and roasted them first to lock in the essence, so that he could cook it again later.

The fish, simply sliced and grilled without any seasoning, had no fishy smell and was extremely delicious. It was a rare delicacy that made Lu Yan want to go back and buy some special food cards.

As for the gain effect, there is none at all. It is just a fish attracted by Lu Yan's drop of blood. It is of no use.

Putting another piece of fish into his mouth and chewing it, he admired the entire city's scenery, with most of his attention focused on several places with energy fluctuations.

Judging from the buildings, those places should be Taihu Temple, Mingyue Guanyi, Taihu City Government Office, etc. Judging from the energy fluctuations, it is not enough for Lu Yan to hit them with one hand.

"Where do you monsters usually gather information?"

"Search for them yourself, or pretend to be a human and go to the inn to get information. Due to their different races, many monsters simply can't get along. Most of the subordinate relationships among wild monsters are due to oppression, and even worse, they are controlled by magic."

Yingying and Lu Yan talked while they found an inn to stay in. As scholars, they were not targeted at all and the innkeeper welcomed them to stay.

Putting down the backpack in the room, Lu Yan took out a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. Just as he was about to go out to ask the waiter about the situation in Taihu City, he stopped at the door frame and raised his hand to look at himself in surprise.

Something happened. He just had a feeling that the whole world seemed to be showing kindness to him, and his connection with this world had deepened.

"Is it because of the merit gained from killing the fish?"

Lu Yan tried to mobilize the elements and confirmed that this was not an illusion. The mobilization of water elements was more flexible in this world. It was not that his ability had improved, but that the energy was more obedient to control.

Of course, when it comes to things he doesn't understand, he turns to ask Yingying, who nods repeatedly after hearing:

"Yes, it's about the added merits and luck. Sister Mudan told me that the world will be more inclined towards those who do good things and will give them more potential help. As for whether it will be useful, it depends on the individual."

Speaking of Bai Mudan, Yingying's mood became a little depressed again: "I don't feel anything. If merit really worked, Sister Mudan wouldn't have died."

Patting the little fox's head, Lu Yan took her downstairs and ordered a few dishes from the waiter. When he saw that there were not many people eating around, he called him over and handed over some small coins.

"Waiter, is there anything big happening in the city recently?"

"Oh, sir, you've asked the right person."

The waiter happily put away the silver and stood aside to tell Lu Yan the news he had heard from other guests.

It can be said that Lu Yan arrived at the right time. Taihu City will hold a sacrifice to the gods the day after tomorrow. The one being worshipped is a being called Taihu Dragon King. They pray to him for good weather for the whole year and to ensure the stability of Taihu Lake.

Dragon Lord...

Lu Yan recalled a strange story novel called "The Story of Liu Yi" from his previous life. He didn't know how big Taihu Lake was. If it was big enough, the Taihu Dragon King who could rule over this area of water would definitely not be weak.

"A lot of evil spirits have come in here too."

Looking around, Lu Yan pretended to be timid and asked the waiter in a low voice. He also replied in a low voice with fear in his eyes:

"That's true. Not long ago, our store received a large group of vicious guys. It is said that there are also cult members, demons and monsters who have sneaked into Taihu City and are planning to cause chaos at the celebration.

Sir, you must be careful too. Scholars like you are likely to be captured very easily."

Touching his face, Lu Yan nodded seriously and waved to the waiter to let him leave. After finishing his meal, he carried Yingying out of the inn and walked towards Taihu Lake.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh..."

"Lü Yan, Lü Yan, are you planning to wade into this mess? Even the waiter feels that something is amiss with this Taihu Dragon Lord Ceremony. That's seriously problematic."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. It's not like I can't fight with the Dragon King. I still need to get stronger cards. There are still several duels waiting for me in my original world."

Lu Yan was not very worried about this trip. Legendary epic creatures were very rare to see. As long as they were still gold level, he dared to say that he could defeat them.

Relying on his good looks, Lu Yan asked for directions along the way and finally arrived near Taihu Lake. It would not be accurate to say that he was near Taihu Lake.

He walked out of a street and his vision suddenly widened. An endless lake appeared in front of him. The lake embankment was only surrounded by a stone railing, and there was nothing further in the distance.

Many fishermen were fishing in Taihu Lake. As far as Lu Yan could see, the entire lake was as big as a city. There were powerful energy fluctuations and various complex energies at the bottom of the lake. This should be the location of the Dragon Palace of the Taihu Dragon King.

Can beat.

After comparing the intensity of the energy released unintentionally by the Dragon King, Lu Yan made a judgment.

Chapter 383: Living things turn into cards.

The lake is sparkling and the scenery is beautiful. The fishermen are busy working for their survival. On the other side is a bank planted with willows, and there are stone railings on the river to prevent people from falling.

Several martial arts schools occupied an area, with young men lined up in teams and shaking their fists. A group of scholars stood near the stone railings, reciting poems, composing couplets, drinking and singing.

As the day of the Dragon King worship approaches, there are still a large number of "red boats" sailing on the lake, and the lake is very lively with singing birds and dancing swallows.

Lu Yan stood in place, looking around, quietly recording the faces of suspicious people, stroking his chin with his fingertips, and unknowingly strolled to the vicinity of the fishing port, looking down at the Taihu Dragon Palace under the water.

How about going and saying hello to the Taihu Dragon Lord right now? But there was no reason to go. Wouldn't it be considered as having ulterior motives?

It would be better to wait until problems start to arise during the sacrifice. With Yingying's ability to cause disasters wherever he goes, Taihu Lake, where the grand ceremony is held, will definitely suffer a great disaster.

"Selling fish, selling fish!"

The shouts were heard. The fishermen noticed that Lu Yan was a scholar and seemed to think that he was very rich, so many fishmongers shouted even harder.

There was still a lot of fish in the demiplane. He didn't want to buy any at first, but he stopped near a fisherman and looked at a golden carp in the fish basket.

This carp exuded a faint energy and also had some special signs of sealing. In short, it didn't look like an ordinary fish monster. A lot of story plots were turned over in Lu Yan's mind. He squatted down and asked:

"How much is this fish?"

"Sir, it's not expensive, only one hundred copper coins. Just look at the color of this fish and you'll know it's definitely very rare!"

"Okay, I'll buy it. These are enough. Give me the basin as well."

Throwing a small piece of silver casually, Lu Yan lifted the wooden basin with one hand, poured the other fish into another basin, held it steadily in his hand and left. Yingying ran to his shoulder and curled up like a scarf.

'Why did you buy this fish?'

Yingying stared at the golden carp, which kept blowing bubbles, like a little monster that had just become a spirit.

"You don't understand. You should have read the storybook. This might be the Taihu Dragon King. There's a seal on it."

The fox rolled his eyes at him. How could the Dragon King of Taihu Lake be turned into a carp? If such a thing really happened, the entire Taihu Lake would definitely be in turmoil.

I don’t know how strong the person who can do this is, but it’s not like the Taihu Dragon King won’t struggle.

Lu Yan stared at the fish that looked very cute, put his fingers into the water and fiddled with its body, grabbed the fish's tail and turned it over. It swung its body and slapped the water, and the splashing water was stopped one by one.

My IQ is not high, so I will let Daisy and Lilia try to solve it when we get back to the hotel. Although the systems are different, the principles of sealing techniques should be similar.

At the same time, beneath the water surface, the Taihu Dragon Palace, which no outsiders had entered, was in a mess. Dark energy surged in the Dragon Palace, and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals were suppressed so much that they could not raise their heads at all. Their bulging eyes were full of dark energy and struggling expressions.

"Lord Dragon, wouldn't it be wonderful if you and I could become a couple and share the great Dao? Why do you hide in your inner room and refuse to come out? Even if you do, how long can you hide? The true energy provided by the magic circle is not endless."

In the dark air, a black-haired man with the word "king" on his forehead grinned and licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue. It was obvious that he was not going to force the Dragon King to marry him.

There were several unclear black shadows following him. The energy fluctuations that Lu Yan sensed did not come from the Taihu Dragon King, but from the man with the surname Wang.

"Lord,"

A woman with a struggling expression stepped forward, tears in the corners of her eyes. Between her eyebrows was a pearl embedded in it, and the pearl had turned black. "The formation can only be broken by an all-out attack."

Knowing that he couldn't break the formation by force, the man turned around and bowed to the crowd: "Then I ask for your help."

"Not urgent,"

A voice, neither male nor female, said, "Let's wait until night. Don't let those bald donkeys, big-nosed men, and court lackeys hear you. Brother Jiao is still trying to steal the dragon and switch the phoenix, right?"

"Ah."

The black shadow with two horns nodded, and the man with the surname Wang had no choice but to agree. He waved his hand to signal the woman to go down and see whether those shrimp soldiers and crab generals were completely controlled.

Back in the guest room, Lu Yan called out Daisy and Lilia. After their inspection, they found that the fish was indeed not simple.

The seal was not put by someone else, but was self-sealed. Although the surface of the body looked intact, there were actually multiple energies mixed in the body, and it was in a seriously injured state.

This self-sealing not only ensured the suppression and alleviation of her injuries, but also allowed her to completely transform into an ordinary fish in appearance and aura. If Lu Yan had not been so close, she might not have been discovered.

As for the safety issue, it is definitely guaranteed. Its physical defense is still at the level before the change, and it can survive even without water. Lu Yan hit it a few more times with increased strength and found that it could withstand at least 50% of his strength without being injured. Ordinary swords and knives could not kill it anyway.

The same goes for temperature changes. It is difficult for fire to burn and difficult for ice to freeze. It must be a big monster before it turns into a carp.

After fiddling with the carp for a few times, Lu Yan casually placed it in the corner of the guest room, letting Daisy and Lilia repair its soul one by one while the other extracted the strange energy from its body. He also cut his palm and let blood drip.

The sweet blood spread in the water. The slow-moving carp smelled it and immediately started swimming. It opened its mouth and sucked Lu Yan's blood, devouring this vitality. Its eyes became more lively, and the sealed injuries healed faster.

"Oh, right? Now's a good time to try turning living things into cards."

Lu Yan reached his hand into the water and switched the skills provided by Yingying, replacing [Excellent Luck] with [Fox Charm]. His temperament and external energy performance were affected, instantly increasing his charm a lot.

Letting the fish's eyes stare at him, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the fish, and his spiritual energy covered the golden carp and fell into the depths of its soul.

At the same time, Lu Yan was also confirming his behavior. At the moment he did this, he was sure that there was no malicious intention in turning living things into cards.

Living things will not turn into cards directly. The spiritual energy he injected was borrowing and copying the soul and body of the golden carp, from the skin to the bones and flesh, and could not affect the essence of the soul.

At the same time, he was also signing a contract with the golden carp to simply verify whether this creature was willing to become Lu Yan's card. If it was not willing, his actions would definitely not go ahead.

Perhaps the soul was also sealed by itself. After eating and drinking, the golden carp did not have much resistance. Lu Yan took advantage of the weakness of the golden carp, which did not know its true identity, and successfully copied the card.

As he raised his hand, the shadow of the golden carp separated from its body. With the same confused expression, it completely separated from the body and solidified into another copy of it.

Chapter 384 Feeding the fish with one’s own body.

This physical carp constructed from energy curled up, shrank in size, gradually flattened, and finally turned into a lifelike card.

"The energy used to construct the card is not the same as using corpses. I need to provide it all."

Feeling the energy he was consuming, Lu Yan judged and recorded this matter. Before, he would turn the destroyed corpses and physical creations into cards. In this way, he only needed to pay the energy for repair.

When signing a contract with a living creature, you cannot copy the card. All the costs must be borne by Lu Yan, at least when it turns into a card.
