I dreamed of returning to ancient times, and I became a beast tamer

The dog "looking at people with slanted eyes" was forcibly led by a dog leash, with his head lowered and his legs held up stubbornly.

If Lu Yuan can't pull it, then Dabai will pull it with his mouth.

Dabai was very strong. He bit the rope with his mouth and dragged the defeated Nian beast out of the village.

"Look at people with squinting eyes" is trembling with anger, walking awkwardly on the road, full of rage.

After resting for a while, it secretly retained some strength.

He saw the offspring of the Nian beast appear in the darkness from the corner of his eye. When it saw it being led by a leash, its pride of "looking at people with slanted eyes" exploded. It became extremely angry and lost all its rationality. It used up all the strength it had saved with great difficulty and fought back desperately.

“Ah!”

It opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Lu Yuan, its whole body red and hot as it rolled away.

But Dabai was like a wall, standing in front of Lu Yuan, pressing him down with one hand.

At this time, the man who "looked at people with slanted eyes" buried his face in the ground. He wanted to raise his head and chest, but he couldn't lift them up. His face turned red with shame and he was very angry.

I could hear the cheers of children.

"Wow, it's the defeated Nian!"

"Master Lu defeated the Nian Beast leader!"

"we won!"

The children climbed onto the windowsill, opened the window, and stared with their big eyes wide open, their faces full of disbelief.

The adult villagers cautiously held the firecracker beast and looked outside.

Seeing the humiliating parade of the scarred three-star Nian beast, he was immediately overjoyed.

Master Lu subdued the leader of the Nian beast!

The word quickly spread on New Year's Eve.

The wild Nian beasts retreated in fear, and even when the New Year's fruits were ripe, they dared not harvest them.

Terrible humans!

……

Lu Yuan walked around for many times, until midnight passed and New Year's Eve came. Dabai could no longer smell the scent of other Nian beasts, so he went back to sleep with peace of mind.

Of course, Lu Yuan can sleep peacefully, but the villagers cannot.

Uncle Jiang and Jiang Xue would light candles in the house, and add vegetable oil to the lamp cage outside the door from time to time so that it would light up all night.

This tormenting process is called staying up all night to celebrate the New Year.

Stay awake and don't let the Nian beast eat you.

This is what our ancestors said.

Upon learning that Lu Yuan was about to go to sleep, Jiang Bo was a little surprised and felt embarrassed.

The defeat of the leader of the Nian monster does not mean the end of the Nian monster disaster.

A hungry Nian cub might make a surprise attack, eat people when their attention is distracted, and then run away after eating.

So Jiang Bo also put up the donkey skin shadow puppet that had been passed down in his family and placed it behind the paper window.

People hid behind the donkey skin shadow, looking at the candlestick, or reading. In short, they had to pay attention to the movements outside and not fall asleep.

"Master Lu, do you really want to sleep on New Year's Eve? Isn't this a bit dangerous?"

“Dabai won’t sleep, he will keep watch for you.

"Besides, the most difficult stage of this New Year's Eve has passed, and no Nian beast leader will enter this village.

"Look at the Nian beast outside the door. Its IQ is not low. It is as smart as my Dabai. Therefore, when the other Nian beast leaders know that there is a powerful enemy, they will not dare to be stubborn. Isn't it better to change a village than to chew a hard bone?" Lu Yuan shook his head.

"That's true, but..." When Jiang Bo said this, his tone softened.

What Lu Yuan said was right. The leader of the Nian beasts was defeated humiliatingly. No Nian beasts would dare to enter the village anymore. This was a crushing victory of strength and a brilliant result.

Looking back at the village’s battle records in previous years, there has never been such a fierce result. At least forty or fifty people would be killed, and as many as a hundred.

In the past, our ancestors blessed us with many children and good fortune, so we could just about get by.

Now... the ancestral temple of Liuhe Village needs to be rebuilt, and each family is waiting for those who died in the disaster of the Nian beast. After the bodies are cremated, they will be sent to the ancestral temple so that they can continue to bless everyone.

After the leader of the Nian beast was subdued, the Nian beast would certainly not dare to enter the village. This is indeed a good thing.

But when Jiang Bo thought about the empty ancestral temple, he was not completely relieved.

"There are only two of us left in our family. No one will come to retaliate against us, and Master Lu is also in the house."

When Jiang Bo thought of this, he relaxed a little.

Jiang Xue has not yet realized the horror implied in her grandfather's words.

What is more terrifying than the Nian monster is the uneducated fools.

No one died because of the Nian beast on New Year’s Eve, so where did the ancestors come from?

Uncle Jiang didn't say it explicitly, but just looked out the window, thinking that he had to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.

Jiang Xue's attention was not on staying up all night to celebrate the New Year. She just noticed that Senior Lu mentioned New Year's Eve.

very strange.

Why is tonight New Year's Eve?

"Senior, I have a question for you."

Lu Yuan was just about to go back to his room to sleep, but when he heard Jiang Xue's question, he stopped.

"what is the problem?"

"It's New Year's Eve, right?"

"Yes." Lu Yuan nodded, not understanding what she wanted to ask.

"Does New Year's Eve have the same meaning?"

"What else?" Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Looking at Jiang Xue's expression of sudden enlightenment and the confused expression that flashed across Jiang Bo's face, Lu Yuan suddenly felt something was wrong.

Jiang Xue and Jiang Bo react differently to New Year's Eve.

The former is the joy after seeking knowledge, and the latter is pure doubt.

"Do you have any questions about New Year's Eve?"

"No more." Jiang Xue shook her head. "New Year's Eve should be what people call it outside. I call it New Year's Eve or New Year's Eve."

New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve... Lu Yuan repeated the name in his mind, and suddenly his whole body trembled, and he thought of a certain possibility.

The "夕" in New Year's Eve might also be a terrifying beast species, otherwise why would we use the word "除"?

"Uncle Jiang, have you never heard of New Year's Eve?" Lu Yuan asked.

Uncle Jiang shook his head.

The old man went through all the New Year memories in his mind, but had never heard of such a statement.

"So what do you think of when you hear the word New Year's Eve?"

"When I first heard the name, I thought it should be a ferocious beast as famous as the Nian beast." Jiang Bo thought.

"Have you ever heard of a beast with this name?"

Jiang Bo shook his head and said, "Master, I haven't walked many roads. Maybe it's the name of a certain place. Maybe before it spread, Xi had been conquered."

Surrendered?

The possibility is very low. This is a festival that is well-known to every household and has been so for generations, with far-reaching influence.

Since no one has heard of it, it is very likely that "Xi" has not yet been born.

Perhaps "Xi" is a ferocious beast born in the Sixth Era. Lu Yuan has to go back and investigate carefully to find out.

As mentioned earlier, Lu Yuan's understanding of many knowledge only remains at the well-known superficial level, and he does not have a deep understanding.

The concept of New Year's Eve is that it is a festival as natural as eating and drinking, and people don't really examine the ins and outs behind it.

Unlike the Nian beast, "Xi" did not survive in later generations. It was likely a ferocious beast that was completely destroyed, and its name only exists in human festivals.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't wait to return to reality.

After saying goodbye to the two, Lu Yuan first went to deal with "Slant Eyes Look at People", causing Dabai to suffer cramps and break bones, making it completely lose its combat effectiveness, and then went back to the house to sleep and left the dream.

The victory on New Year's Eve brought Lu Yuan a lot of gains. He learned that the ancient Nian beast was not as terrible as people in later generations imagined. In addition, the biggest gain was that he became interested in the ferocious beast "Xi".

He searched the name "Xi" on the Internet, and most of the pictures that popped up were of sunset scenery.

"Searching the website..."

"The search results have been updated——Ferocious Beast: Xi"

"A prehistoric life form that existed in an unknown era. It is initially speculated that "Xi" is a time-related vicious beast. There is no detailed information about it.

Currently, only the festival information of human civilization retains a little information about it. "

Lu Yuan clicked the mouse, trying to move the progress bar down, but he couldn't.

Only then did I realize that this was all the information there was about "Xi".

Everything about "Xi" seems to be cut off by time and unknown to outsiders.
