Chapter 172 Evil Dragon

"Thank you for your help, sir."

After the villagers of Shijia Village left, Luo Sanniang poured a glass of water for Xu Ming and bowed.

Luo Sanniang could never have imagined that she was just a person who helped to stay overnight, but he saved her.

"Thank you, sir."

However, the eight-year-old girl also imitated her mother and expressed her gratitude.

"It's okay, I just can't stand it." Xu Ming shook his head.

"Young Master is a good man." Luo Sanniang looked at Xu Ming and smiled.

Xu Ming also smiled: "I'm not a good person. Didn't you see the look in their eyes? Because I protected you, they could only go to other families. The look in their eyes when they looked at me was full of hatred. Although I saved your daughter, I also harmed other people."

Luo Sanniang shook her head: "Others may not know, but for Sanniang and Yaya, Mr. Xu is a good man."

Xu Ming was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Okay, since Sanniang said so, I'll just barely count as one."

"But sir, you should leave now." Luo Sanniang said, "I will handle my own affairs. I asked you to stay overnight and you gave me some silver, which is considered as clearing the matter. If you really want to take care of this matter, I am afraid it will be dangerous."

"No problem. I actually need to kill a dragon, take some of its things, and draw some talismans." Xu Ming took a sip of tea and looked at the gate of the courtyard. "In Sanniang's opinion, what kind of decision will your village make?"

An hour ago, after the village chief and the strong men in the village left, Xu Ming was waiting here for the other party's answer.

"I don't know." Luo Sanniang shook her head. "However, there are actually many people in the village who hate the Yellow Sand River Dragon King. After all, so many boys and girls were sacrificed. If they were not really incapable, many men would have gone to fight the Yellow Sand River Dragon King."

"Let's see." Xu Ming held the teacup, "If the villagers still don't dare to quarrel with each other, I will send Sanniang and Yaya to Wudu. You can go to the Xu Mansion with a letter I wrote, and naturally someone will settle you down."

"Thank you, sir." Luo Sanniang knelt down and bowed.

Yaya saw her mother kneeling down, and she quickly knelt down as well.

"Sanniang, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony."

Xu Ming quickly helped the mother and daughter up.

"Da Da Da"

Just as Sanniang and Yaya stood up, the gate was knocked again.

"Come in." Xu Ming said, knowing that the other party had already discussed everything.

As Xu Ming finished speaking, several big men walked in and clasped their fists: "The village chief invites you to his home for a chat."

Xu Ming put his hands behind his back and walked forward: "Let's go."

Shen Shengsheng, who was playing in the mud nearby, saw Xu Ming leaving, so she quickly stood up, wiped her dirty little hands on her skirt, and then followed Xu Ming with her short legs.

Not long after, Xu Ming and Shen Shengsheng arrived at the residence of the village chief of Shijia Village.

The village chief's residence is similar to that of other villagers, except that the yard is a little bigger.

"Master."

Compared with his previous attitude towards Xu Ming, after seeing Xu Ming, the village chief of Shijia Village hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"The weather is hot, please come in and have a cup of tea, Master." asked the village chief.

Xu Ming glanced at the village chief, walked into the courtyard and sat on a stone bench.

The village chief closed the gate, respectfully poured a cup of tea for Xu Mingdao, and then sat next to Xu Ming.

Xu Ming asked: "I wonder what the village chief thinks?"

"I've thought it over carefully. Now I'll trouble you, Immortal Master, with the matter of the Dragon King of Huangsha River." The village chief spoke slowly and gave an answer.

"Do other people in the village mean the same thing?" Xu Ming asked.

The village chief smiled helplessly: "In previous years, which family's children would be sacrificed had already been decided, but this year..."

The village chief glanced at Xu Ming and didn't finish what he said.

Even before he finished speaking, Xu Ming knew what the village chief meant - "It was all confirmed, but in the end, I didn't expect that you, a nosy person, would come."

The village chief said: "We have discussed this for a long time, but no one wants to replace Luo Sanniang's daughter. In addition, there are indeed many men who are very dissatisfied with the Yellow Sand River Dragon King. It's just right."

The village chief stood up and bowed deeply to Xu Ming: "We, Shijia Village, will trouble you, Immortal Master."

Xu Ming looked at the old man in front of him and did not avoid him. Instead, he accepted the gift: "I wonder if the village chief can tell me more about the Dragon King of the Yellow Sand River."

The village chief stood up and nodded: "I will tell you everything I know."

Xu Ming: "I heard from the boy's father before that the Yellow Sand River Dragon King is at the Golden Core Realm?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The village chief affirmed, "Yes, although I don't know what the Golden Core Realm is, but not long ago, the Dragon King of the Yellow Sand River broke through the realm and invited his demon friends to a banquet. The banquet was called the Golden Core Banquet, and he also asked us villagers to help buy some things."

"That's good." Since the other party had just reached the Jindan realm, Xu Ming felt more confident.

"But why does the other party insist on having a bunch of boys and girls? Does the village chief have any clue?" This is what Xu Ming is most suspicious about.

It would be very easy for a great demon in the Golden Core Realm to eat young boys and girls. He would eat as many as he wanted, but he demanded a pair per year, which was really suspicious.

Village chief: “That’s not clear.”

Xu Ming: "Then when did you originally offer sacrifices to each other?"

Village chief: "We plan to offer sacrifices to each other the day after tomorrow."

Xu Ming: "How did you perform sacrifices in the past?"

Village chief: "We will put a small boat, and then put chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, various sacrifices, and boys and girls on the boat. The boat will slowly float to the center of the yellow sand river, and then a huge whirlpool will appear, and the boys and girls on the boat will fall into it."

Xu Ming frowned: "That evil dragon doesn't show up?"

The village chief shook his head: "He has rarely appeared in recent years."

Xu Ming touched his chin and said in a deep voice, "I am not good at water, not to mention that the opponent's dojo is below. If I go into the water, my chances of winning are slim. Does the village chief have a way to lure that evil dragon to the surface?"

"This..." The village chief looked a little embarrassed, but still clenched his fists, "I'll give it a try."

"Also, I need some time to set up some magic arrays to increase my chances of winning."

Xu Ming continued.

"If we hold the sacrifice the day after tomorrow, it will definitely be too late, so you village chiefs have to think of a way to postpone the sacrifice."

"I wonder how long it will take, Master?" the village chief asked anxiously.

"Four days!" Xu Ming looked at the village chief seriously, "After four days, I won't leave until the evil dragon dies."
