However, these officers were in a state of not resting until the man was handed over. Feeling very troubled, he discussed with Zhou Feihua and Su Yishui to see if they could hand the man over first. After all, these were government officials. If they offended them, it would be difficult for them, the local residents, to make a living.
But before Zhou Feihua could say anything, Su Yishui said coldly, "No, we can't hand the person over to them."
Just the Qin Xuan wine made the girl feel extremely guilty. If Wang Suizhi and the others were burned to death, wouldn't the girl be so guilty that she couldn't eat?
So Su Yishui refused without even thinking about it.
Now, the villagers had their own thoughts and were talking about it. Those who didn't have relatives turned into water demons were a little dissatisfied. They thought that if the whole village offended the government because of a few half-human and half-ghost creatures, wouldn't life be difficult?
Some people even secretly went to find the officials, and revealed through their words that the water monsters were in the cave in the back mountain.
When the officials led a large group of people to the back mountain to look for the water monster, Ran Ran and Su Yi, who had just moved those mutated people away, stood on the top of a tree and saw the villagers who led the officials.
Ran Ran discovered that one of them was actually the nephew of Zhou Feihua's landlord.
On the day the village was attacked, the nephew was still running around for the landlady, but he didn't expect that the next day he would lead the soldiers to capture his own cousin.
Su Yishui was not surprised at all, and snorted coldly, "That family only has one child, and the old woman's husband's family doesn't have a suitable younger generation. If the old woman's only grandson is gone, wouldn't he, as a nephew, be able to reap the benefits?"
Although Ran Ran is smart, she never thinks too badly of others, which is very different from Su Yishui. Perhaps as a descendant of the royal family, Su Yishui is more sensitive and experienced about this kind of power shift and internal strife.
After listening to Su Yishui's words, Ran Ran took a deep breath silently, and then whispered: "Sometimes, there is really a fine line between humans and demons. It is easy to cultivate immortality, but it is really difficult to cultivate the mind..."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart. Su Yishui, the former devil, couldn't help but glance at her after hearing this.
Ran Ran knew what he meant by that look, but she deliberately curled her lips and said, "Hey, I'm talking about you! If you don't have a master, you still have to practice well. You can't always think about how to strangle your master. He raised you with so much effort. Even if there is no credit, you have worked hard... Oh..."
Before she could finish her words, Su Yishui grabbed the small bun on her head and started shaking it. For a moment, the majesty of the former master of Xishan disappeared.
Ran Ran could only hold his wrist and whispered: "Stop it, your hair will be messed up!"
Su Yishui grinned and said, "If you dare to mention raising me again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
He felt that he was too indulgent towards this little witch, and was simply under her spell. Whenever he was near her, he felt absent-minded and wanted to stick to her all day. If this continued, he would not be himself again until the soul-cleansing talisman was untied.
Su Yishui felt that he should be stricter with Xue Ranran and not be so clingy anymore.
But now her little bun was messed up by him, and a few strands of hair fell on her cheeks, looking... strangely cute.
When Su Yishui came back to his senses, he had already kissed her on the cheek, which made Ran Ran feel a little embarrassed. She whispered, "It's broad daylight, this is not a good thing..."
Su Yishui stood up with a dark face and flew away, preparing to go to the back mountain to find a few losers to teach them a lesson and divert his attention.
Could this loss of self-control also be a side effect of the Soul Cleansing Talisman? He must be alert and not let himself go with the flow.
Ran Ran was unaware of the inner struggles of his former disciple, he only knew that there was an immortal hero who came and went without a trace and threw all the officials and villagers who went to the back mountain into the ditch.
Especially the nephew who actively led the way was thrown into the villagers' compost pit.
For a while, those officers returned empty-handed, but judging by the local officials' hindsight, those who were transferred away would not be able to hide for too long.
Fortunately, within a few days, Yuchen and Yutong brought Jiu Laoxian to Qiongqi Village.
The Drunken Immortal held the wine gourd in his mouth and looked carefully at the transformed Wang Suizhi.
Although he had been taking Qingxin Pills continuously, he still couldn't stop the mutation. In the past two days, his pupils had gradually elongated and he had been losing his mind from time to time.
Jiu Laoxian nodded, and Ran Ran thought he had a solution, so she asked, "Old Immortal, how can we save them?"
Jiu Laoxian said honestly: "I have no way for the time being!"
"Then why did you nod?"
Jiu Laoxian said with admiration: "This Seven Evils Transfiguration Talisman is more refined and more effective than the one found in Wangxianghe. I admire you!"
Ran Ran was somewhat amused and said in a low voice: "He was my disciple in my previous life. You must find a way to save him!"
Jiu Laoxian now knew that this little girl was actually his drinking buddy from twenty years ago. After hearing his friend's request, Jiu Laoxian said seriously: "Have you seen the scales of these people? They are dragon scales, not ordinary water beasts. They have transformed so many people, so they must use dragon blood as a guide. If you can find something that can neutralize dragon blood... such as blue dragon blood, maybe I can find a way to try it."
Ran Ran frowned in thought. Jiu Laoxian was right. She had read in ancient books that Jiao was a tailless, horned dragon. The purpose of a life of hard work was to transform into a dragon. If there was anything that could suppress Jiao blood, it would be the blood of the Azure Dragon.
But blue dragons are so rare. Even the one she and Su Yishui rescued in the palace was just an ordinary little dragon. The blood of the Vermillion Bird is hard to come by, and getting dragon blood is even harder.
But now, this is the only way for so many alienated people. Ranran looked at the unconscious Wang Suizhi and decided to give it a try.
When she told Su Yishui her idea, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Dragon Island is a forbidden place for humans. No one has ever been there. Are you sure you want to go there to find the Azure Dragon and ask it for a bowl of blood?"
Su Yishui looked at her strangely. With such courage and fearlessness of life and death, she was worthy of being the reincarnation of Mu Qingge. Only she would have such an outrageous idea to go to Dragon Island to die.
He frowned and said, "Think carefully, neither I nor the disciples of Xishan will accompany you to go crazy or die on Dragon Island!"
Ran Ran nodded affirmatively and said, "...I have acquaintances on the island, so I'll give it a try. But I'll go alone, so you don't have to accompany me."
She really didn't want Su Yishui to go with her, so that night, she packed a small bag early and sneaked out of the village alone.
When she came to a valley to get some water to drink, she noticed someone was following her.
She calmly came to a flat ground, quickly jumped onto a tree and looked back, and happened to meet Su Yishui's eyes under the tree...
"Why are you here too?" Xue Ranran asked in surprise.
Because he had already said in the morning that he would never go to Dragon Island with her. During dinner, he also told Yuchen and Yutong to prepare to return to Xishan.
The reason I left so quietly was because I was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so I left without saying goodbye.
Su Yishui said with a sullen face: "Have you forgotten that you have half of my Jindan in you? How could I allow you to use my cultivation to feed the dragon?"
Ran Ran has now figured out Su Yishui's bad temper. He always brings up the half of the Jindan to talk about things every now and then.
In fact, if he was really worried, it would be easy for him to take it back, but every time there was thunder but no rain, so for this paper tiger that only clamored but never stretched out its claws, he just had to touch his fur and give him enough room to step down.
Ran Ran smiled and jumped down from the tree, took Su Yishui's arm and shook it: "Okay, I get it, you must be careful with your things, so that you can return them to Zhao intact in the future. Master, the scenery on the East China Sea is so beautiful, and the fish caught freshly is also delicious. But there is no Suzaku to ride this time, so we can rent a boat to go there. Last time we were on the sea, we lacked some oil, salt and seasonings. Bring some rice, flour and soybeans, so that we can stew fish when the time comes."
Foodies always have a clear idea of what to eat next.
Su Yishui now understood the little devil's ways. If he offended her, she would call him "Hey". But when she was happy, she would call him Master.
When she is extremely unhappy, she will raise her eyes and call him "Shui'er".
But when she tilted her head back and called me Master, that voice was so sweet that it filled my ears and eyes.
Therefore, rushing to Dragon Island to feed the dragons was something that people were looking forward to. Xue Ranran had the ability to turn a life-threatening journey into a leisurely outing.
Also arriving after Su Yishui were Yu Tong, Gao Cang Bai Bai Shan, and Qiu Xi Er.
Since there were so many people, the boat had to be big. Yutong rented a big boat at the pier, which could not only carry rice, flour, beans, but also potted orange trees. As long as you water them frequently, you can pick some oranges to eat every now and then.
Zhou Feihua did not come because she had to take care of the villagers who had been transformed into demons. The ones who stayed to help her were Yu Chen and Jiu Laoxian.
It was the first time for Gao Fen and Qiu Xier to go out to sea, and they were eager to give it a try.
Xue Ranran couldn't help but worry about them as more and more people gathered. She could only remind them again: "Brothers and sisters, we are going to the forbidden Dragon Island, which is more dangerous than Tianmai Mountain and Chiyan Mountain. Are you sure you really want to go?"
Now, the Xishan rookie team has seen big battles before. Even Qiu Xier is no longer the rookie who cried loudly while trying to hold on to the Buddha's feet by the Wangxiang River.
After hearing the worried reminder from her junior sister, no, from her former master, Qiu Xier said solemnly, "Don't worry, we won't go to Dragon Island. We will just guard your ship and escort you outside."
Xue Ranran smiled and pulled Qiu Xier's braid: "I'm obviously younger than you, and you actually called me an old man!"
Qiu Xier said with great joy: "I was wondering why you are so much better than us, little junior sister. It turns out you are the reincarnated master! Now, we are all confident!"
They all went to Xishan to study Taoism together, but Xue Ranran emerged as a new force and left the three of them far behind. Although Xiao Si was very affectionate, he still felt a little lonely from time to time.
But now it was different. Xue Ranran was their master, so shouldn't he be given such an outstanding honor? Even if they told others about it, they would be proud of it. The plaque on the gate of Xishan Mountain, which had never been changed, was much more eye-catching.
Moreover, on this trip, the master did not call on those disciples who were recruited later, but brought these few along. This shows that although the master has lost his memory, he has gradually discovered their abilities.
Therefore, even if you take a big boat to feed the dragon, you can still feel a subtle sense of superiority.
After entering the sea, this large ship was driven not by its sails but by the spiritual energy of the Suyi River, and it moved much faster than ordinary ships.
Just as Ranran said, it is indeed very pleasant to sail along the waves, fish at the stern and surround the seabirds.
When they arrived at the island where they had rested for a few days last time, Ranran pointed it out to Su Yishui, hoping to evoke some of his remaining memories.
Unfortunately, even after the two of them jumped onto the island, Su Yishui still couldn't remember anything when he looked at the remaining firewood ashes in the cave.
Soon, the ship arrived at the border of Dragon Island's barrier.
The weather was sunny just a moment ago, but when we reached the border, there were strong winds, rough waves and heavy rain.
When you focus your attention on the dense dark clouds, you can seem to sense that there is some terrifying monster hidden in the clouds, spying on the foreigners on the boat.
In the various legends of the cultivation world, it seems that no one has ever entered Dragon Island and survived.
Therefore, even if you search through all the ancient books, you will find no experience in this area to draw on.
At this time, Su Yishui asked Yutong to bring a package, which contained two tight clothes like nightgowns.
If you look closely, you'll see that the clothes are covered with tiny black scales.
"When I crossed the Tianmai Mountain, I killed a black dragon. The skin of its belly had the effect of avoiding water. After entering the water, it can automatically separate the water. Even people who are not familiar with water can swim freely in the water. I used this piece of skin to make two clothes. This way, when entering the water, I don't have to waste spiritual energy to separate the water. It is also invulnerable to swords and guns. Wearing it is more defensive."
After hearing this, Ran Ran changed her clothes obediently. However, after she changed, she found that Su Yishui was looking at her straight without saying a word.
Ran Ran looked down... Well, it was a little tight. She was a grown-up girl now, and this kind of dress showed off her curves and her slender waist...
Just when she was thinking about whether to change back, Su Yishui put a cloak on her and said, "There are those men from Gaocang outside. You keep it on and take it off when you get to the island..."
Hmm...Ran Ran couldn't help but look at him sideways. Will there be no men on Dragon Island soon? Will he not go with her?
Even if the road ahead was dangerous, Yu Tong was determined to follow her master and Ran Ran. So she changed into her swimming suit early and prepared to go with them.
The three of them were preparing to cross the Dragon Island barrier. At first, it was smooth sailing, but soon Yu Tong was quickly bounced back by the barrier and fell into the sea like a ball.
However, although Su Yishui and Xue Ranran felt a slight resistance, they were able to pass through unimpeded.
So they let Yu Tong swim back to the boat and wait, and then they both dived into the deep sea to avoid the strong wind and rain on the surface.
When they surfaced again, they had already passed the Dragon Island barrier, and it seemed that the wind and waves had all stopped.
It is said that in ancient times, there were dragons that did evil, so the ancient gods sealed the dragons in Dragon Island.
So although a baby dragon might occasionally escape by taking advantage of its weakened power, once it reaches adulthood and its power increases, it will be almost impossible for it to leave the island.
As for outsiders, it is impossible for them to come in and steal the dragon eggs, because they cannot penetrate the barrier at all. After all, this Dragon Island is to protect the people in the human world, how can they be allowed in?
Therefore, it is puzzling how Su Yishui and Xue Ranran could come in so easily.
However, when they arrived at the beach and saw the skeleton of a water dragon, Su Yishui guessed why the two of them were able to land on the island.
The barrier of Dragon Island only prevents people from entering and dragons from leaving, but it does not prevent the dragons' food from entering the island.
Looking at the white bones of the dragon, which seemed to have been shattered by the giant mouth, Su Yishui frowned and said, "You said that I killed a black dragon in Tianmai Mountain, so I must have eaten the dragon heart that can enhance my power. And you have also drunk the snake water, so your aura must have changed."
Ranran understood.
To Long, a dragon is just a plate of fried loach that is appetizing. In addition, since they were wearing clothes made of dragon belly skin, the barrier automatically recognized them as dragon appetizers and let them in.
After figuring this out, it wasn't so pleasant anymore. Ran Ran suddenly thought of the little dragon she had saved before, which always had one eye sticking out of the sea, looking at her with ill intentions.
At that time, she thought it was because it had eaten humans before, so it was hard to change its bad habits. Now she thought about it, it was obviously because her aura was too tempting, which spoiled the little dragon.
At this time, there were no dragons on Dragon Island, but the thrilling roars of dragons that rose and fell one after another reminded the two that there was more than one dragon on the island.
Ran Ran thought about it and asked, "Should we withdraw first and try to get rid of the dragon smell on our bodies first?"
There was a little dragon in the palace that made them busy and confused. Now they are in the dragon's territory and have their own fragrance. They are really asking for death.
After hearing this, Su Yishui quickly took off his black dragon suit, revealing his well-dressed upper body, and then said to Ran Ran: "You should also take off your black dragon skin..."
What? Because the clothes are close fitting, Ranran's dressing order is similar to Su Yishui's. If he takes them off, the two masters and apprentices will meet each other honestly, and then die naked in the dragon's belly together... Just thinking about that scene makes me feel uncomfortable!
So she shook her head with great determination.
Su Yishui did not insist, but said briefly: "It's too late..."
As the two of them were talking, the land on the island suddenly shook and something huge came towards them.
The two men jumped at the same time, barely avoiding the dragon's mouth that burst out of the ground.
Apparently, they encountered a loach that was eager to devour two fresh "loach" delicacies.
Ran Ran thought about the attributes of various dragons that she had finally read in the ancient books on exotic beasts, and quickly reminded Su Yishui: "The earth dragon is blind and mainly relies on sound and smell to distinguish. It should be difficult for us to get rid of it."
After hearing this, Su Yishui immediately swung his sword and attacked the earth dragon's nose. Since it was blind, he would just destroy its nose and ears.
As long as it can't smell or hear it, it can get rid of it easily.
His sword was so fast that he cut off half of the dragon's nose in one stroke, which was considered as poking the dragon's nest.
Amidst its shrill screams, the land kept churning out dragon heads, and it seemed like countless earth dragons came to help.
Ran Ran took a quick look and was disappointed to find that among so many dragons that were lured out, not a single one was a blue dragon.
I don't know if the blood vessels of these earth dragons are useless. But if things continue like this, she and Su Yishui might really die on Dragon Island...
The situation was critical at the moment and she had no time to think. She could only work side by side with Su Yishui to fight against the earth dragons that kept appearing.
During the struggle, Ran Ran's ankle was suddenly caught by the tail of an earth dragon and he was pulled down. Su Yishui quickly came over and swung his sword to chop him.
But although the earth dragon's nose is soft, its body is unusually hard, especially its tail, which is the earth dragon's sharp weapon for drilling into the ground, and it cannot be cut off even if it is pressed down at the root.
Seeing that Ran Ran was about to be dragged into the underground cave by the earth dragon, Su Yishui simply jumped into the underground cave as well.
Once buried in the ground, it will be the world of these drilling dragons, and you will be in danger of death.
At this moment, suddenly there was another roar of dragon, and a dragon with a light golden body jumped out from the sea.
Just as the dragon let out a majestic long cry, the dragon tail that was wrapped around Ranran's ankle suddenly loosened, and all the earth dragons seemed to be suppressed by their blood vessels and lay obediently on the ground.
Some even timidly shrank back into their burrows, with only half of their dragon heads exposed.
Su Yishui stabilized Ranran's body in time, and the two of them landed on a large reef on the island together, and looked up at the golden dragon flying in the air together.
When the golden dragon was flying in the air, the entire Dragon Island suddenly became eerily quiet, as if all the dragons had become silent.
Ran Ran whispered: "Is it... the king of dragons?"
Su Yishui looked up at the dragon and said, "I don't know, but it must be a mother, with a baby dragon lying on its tail..."
Ran Ran looked carefully and saw that there was indeed a much smaller dragon coiled around the golden dragon's tail.
But that dragon...why does it look so familiar?
Just as Ranran squinted her eyes, the conjoined little dragon slid down from the big dragon's body, uttered a mellow, shrill cry that sounded like a spoiled child, and then flew back towards Ranran with its whiskers flying.
At this time, Ranran finally recognized the little dragon. It was the one she and Su Yishui rescued from the palace.
Compared to that time, the little dragon has obviously grown a lot, but it looks much smaller against the big golden dragon.
However, its dragon eyes were shining as it flew towards him, with some unclear intentions. Ran Ran couldn't figure out whether it was coming to reminisce or to hunt.
However, the dragon obviously noticed the two men's vigilance and stopped in time, only to proudly step on the head of the earth dragon lying on the ground with its dragon claws.
Then it swung its tail and jumped into the sea again, throwing up a few big fat fish and throwing them in front of Ranran.
Although the dragon is cruel, it has not yet learned the hypocrisy and cunning of the secular world.
Therefore, its initiative to offer the fish was full of goodwill, and it was meant to show goodwill to Ranran and the others.
Ranran breathed a sigh of relief. It felt so good to meet a familiar dragon in Dragon Island!
