The Reincarnator Fails Miserably

Su Bai's face said 'you can eat food'.

The two exchanged glances tacitly but completely incorrectly, and followed the servant into the Lao family mansion.

This house is very large, even much larger than the Yu family's house, and its structure is more complicated. In addition to the side room in the front hall, there is also a large area as a garden for planting exotic flowers and plants.

Arriving at the main hall, there was an old man with white hair sitting at the table, playing with white chess pieces in his hands.

"Sir, the guests are here."

"Well, let's go." The old man waved his hand, dropped his hand, and then looked at the two visitors. When he saw Su Bai's face, he paused for a moment, then looked at Bei Luo again, and stroked his beard : "Please sit down, two guests."

Bei Luo sat down dubiously, but Su Bai sat down simply, and the servant offered twice the tea.

"The old man's name is Lao Jizhi..." The old man stood with his hands down: "You must be very confused. Why did the old man invite the two of you over here? It seems that I knew it a long time ago. In fact, there is nothing to be suspicious about. After all, I came to Laoshan Town during this period. All the guests will be invited by the old man."

"For what?" Bei Luo asked quickly.

"In order to ensure the safety of the guests." The old man's eyes cast a light of wisdom, and he said without haste: "The two of you have come from a long way, you are young, you are neither here for business, nor like you are here. Visiting relatives, probably looking for someone or something..." Bei Luo subconsciously held the handrail, and Lao Ji said unhurriedly: "Don't be so nervous. In the past, the old man just said something, and he didn't mean anything to the two of you... Actually In the past ten years, there have always been some outsiders coming to Laoshan Town, most of them are people with good intentions, and I have also received many people, and I can guess their purpose."

"Oh?" Su Bai said: "Then why did I come to the Lao family, the owner of the Lao family can also guess?"

"The two of you are here for the River God Sacrifice..." Lao Jizhi said calmly, "Or are you here to find someone?"

"Wrong." Su Bai said inscrutablely, "I'm here to eat."

Lao Jizhi was stunned for a moment, and then he slapped the table and smiled: "Hahaha, interesting little brother, but what you said is also reasonable. Guests who come from afar should always be entertained. We will ask someone to prepare a meal immediately."

Bei Luo glanced at Su Bai, with the word shame written in his eyes.

Su Bai glanced back, the word "hungry" was written on his face.

Bei Luo put his hands on his forehead helplessly, and he corrected the topic again, without going around in circles: "Patriarch Lao's guess is right, we are indeed here for the matter of the God of the River... I hope Patriarch Lao will not hesitate to tell you the details."

"This matter... is not a secret. In Laoshan Town, a living sacrifice is held every year. In order to fill the belly of the river god Chi Wuyi, we can ensure that the weather will be smooth for the next year. Otherwise, Chi Wuyi will make a big fuss. The entire Laoshan Town will be flooded." Lao Jizhi sighed with a dignified expression.

"Is this a legend, or is it?" Bei Luo picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"It's true... 20 years ago, Laoshan Town was submerged by floods. Many villagers saw Chi Wuyi's appearance with their own eyes. Afterwards, Taoist sects used formations to re-seal it." Lao Jizhi Youyou sighed. : "Since 20 years later, the annual sacrifice has become a common practice. The Taoist sect has become more and more influential. The villagers dare not resist, and their demands have become higher and higher. Many families are reluctant to bear their children, so they send their daughters Sent out of Laoshan Town...Although Chi Wuyi is true, but whether the sacrifice really needs the lives of so many girls, the old man is not clear."

"So why are you entertaining foreign guests?"

"Guarantee the safety of the guests. As long as these guests stay in the Lao family, they will be safe and sound. In recent years, the Taoist sect has been unruly and has taken in many local ruffians, but the influence of the Lao family is still there. They dare not mess with the Lao family... In the past years, there have been absurd things about arresting outsiders to sacrifice, and I really can't stand it." Lao Jizhi clenched his fists, and then slowly released them: "These are all things in Laoshan Town, and have nothing to do with outsiders."

"Aren't you going to report it to the government? Maybe there is a celestial master who can kill Chi Wuyi, or strengthen the seal..." Su Bai also picked up his teacup.

"I've looked for it." Lao Jizhi said helplessly, "But Taoism is absurd, and they don't want others to take over. Their power is too great, and it has surpassed the influence of the government. How can there be any concept of imperial power in such a place... just Many people in Liaoshan Town have to buy an expensive life-saving talisman to avoid being made trouble during the sacrifice."

As the old man spoke, he led the eyes of the two to the white talisman paper on the table.

The rather rough talisman paper, two pieces of paper pasted together, seems to be filled with something.

Su Bai looked at the aura, only seeing thin and unrecognizable monster aura, which was simply used to fool people.

Bei Luo also snorted coldly: "It's really lawless and lawless."

"Why doesn't this old man know that this is a fake thing, but what can I do? Apart from the Daoist sect, no one can control Chi Wuyi, he is a big monster." Lao Jizhi sighed: "If you two know, in the river Don't leave Lao's house until the god sacrifice is over, at least stay in the house, you can still protect the safety of the two of you, but it's hard to say when you leave the house..."

Su Bai and Bei Luo heard his sincere warning, but they didn't take it seriously.

Ordinary people may be worthy of vigilance, but one of them is not ordinary, and the other is not human at all... It is impossible for a mere Chiwuyi and Taoist to scare people away, but they are a little uncertain about how serious this sacrifice is. reality.

While thinking, Su Bai put down his tea, and suddenly mentioned something.

"—There is something wrong with this tea."

Chapter 49 River God Festival

"—There is something wrong with this tea."

A sudden abrupt remark made the atmosphere suddenly tense.

Bei Luo's body tensed up suddenly. He didn't have a good impression of Laoshan Town at first, and he was only skeptical of Lao Jizhi's words. When he heard that there was a problem, he almost subconsciously drew his sword.

Lao Jizhi was also slightly taken aback, he frowned, from astonishment to doubt to calmness, he stroked his beard: "This old man also drank this tea just now, what's the problem?"

"The problem is..." Su Bai couldn't help but took another sip, showing a royal smile: "This tea is really fragrant."

Bei Luo almost staggered, his tense body didn't know where to release his strength, he put his hands on his forehead, stared at Su Bai, gritted his teeth slightly, and then sighed: "It's good tea..."

Lao Jizhi glanced at Su Bai, and then narrowed his eyes unobtrusively: "You two stay here and rest for a while, I will ask the servant to clean up two rooms for you...don't go out unless necessary. "

Then the old man cupped his hands, expressing that he should take a lunch break on time when he was old, so he let the two of them stay and left.

Bei Luo stared at Su Bai unhappily: "I almost drew my sword just now."

"It proves that your cultivation level is not enough." Su Bai took a sip of tea without haste, "I was just testing him."

"You don't think what you said is credible?" Bei Luo frowned and thought: "I also think there is something wrong."

"Probably what he said is true, but he must be hiding something." Su Bai looked at Bei Luo, who was exuding a mysterious handsome aura, and said with his cheeks on his hands, "You didn't notice that when we entered Lao's house, After that, didn’t you even see a member of the Lao family?”

"Indeed." Bei Luo nodded: "Although this Lao family is big, it seems that they are all servants, but there are not many family members."

"This is where the doubt lies." Su Bai said lightly: "Actually, I just really wanted to ask him bluntly - whether Patriarch Lao has any descendants captured by the Taoist sect as sacrifices..."

"If you say that, the other party will definitely turn his face."

"That's why I didn't say that. After all, I'm kind and upright, and I'm fundamentally different from a chaotic pigeon." Su Bai brazenly boasted and continued to deduce: "But even if you don't ask, you can probably guess it... If not Sending all the descendants out of Laoshan Town means being persecuted by Daomen. If it is the former, why does he stay alone in Laoshan Town? If it is the latter, why does he still appear calm when he mentions Daomen?"
