After Li Maicheng and Zhou Xiaotian returned to Yueliu Town, they accompanied Qianbao Zhenren to drink some wine and eat good food.

Li Maicheng said: "Qianbao Zhenren, what are you going to do with the small tower, golden bottle, golden bowl and Jinkun net that were seized this time." ”

Qianbao Zhenren said: "These magic weapons are extremely powerful, and they must not fall into the hands of demons and monsters, so I decided to bring these magic weapons to the Heavenly Palace." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Qianbao Zhenren, what is there in the Heavenly Palace, I have been there a few times, and I feel so big and magnificent." ”

Qianbao Zhenren said: "In this heavenly palace, there are the Queen Mother of the West, the Prince of the East, the Yuan Shi Tianzun, the Lingbao Tianzun, the Taishang Laojun, Fuxi, Nuwa, the Wufang Emperor, Xuanyuan, Shennong, Taiyi Saving the Suffering Tianzun, the Four Great Emperors, Haotian God, the Immortal Emperor, the Ziwei Emperor, the Nine Heavens Xuannu, the Zhenwu Emperor, the Qinglong Shenjun, the Bixia Yuanjun, the Three Holy Mother, the Xuanwu Shenjun, the Vermilion Bird Shenjun, the White Tiger Shenjun, Li Nezha, the Erlang God, the Ten Palaces Yan Jun, the Big Dipper Seven Star Jun, the Moon Lao, the Five Star Jun, the Tianpeng, the Four King Kongs, the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming, Wang Lingguan, The goddesses of the five directions, the two generals of the turtle and snake, and many little fairies, and many fairies. And the top layer of this Heavenly Palace is the Three Qing Heavens and the Great Luo Heavens, and the Six Realms add up to a total of thirty-six heavens, and you won't be able to finish it for a while. ”

Li Maicheng became curious when he heard this, and said casually: "Wow, listen to you, it's so spectacular, Qianbao Zhenren, there are so many immortals living in this Heavenly Palace, when will you take me up to take a closer look at the Heavenly Palace, and see so many immortals, as well as these thirty-six heavens." ”

Qianbao Zhenren said: "You should go west with Zhang Qian first, I know that you are also a cultivator, and if you encounter demons and monsters on the way to the west in the future, you can come to me if you can't solve it." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, in the future, I will definitely go to the Heavenly Palace of the Thirty-Sixth Heaven often to bother you to help." ”

Qianbao Zhenren drank a few sips of wine and said, "It's not early, I should go back." ”

Li Maicheng and Zhou Xiaotian and the junior brothers and sisters said goodbye to Qianbao Zhenren, and as soon as the smoke slipped, Qianbao Zhenren flew away with those magic weapons.

Subsequently, Li Maicheng and the Han envoys stayed in Yueliu Town for another night, and set off early in the morning to continue westward, and when they left Yueliu Town, Jian Lihu was reluctant to say goodbye to Li Maicheng and them.

Jian Lihu said: "Brother Maicheng, and brothers, you are traveling westward, and I don't know when we will meet again." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Jian Lihu, go back, protect this land well, be an upright person, and we will come back to see you in the future." ”

Jian Lihu said: "Okay, we will meet again." ”

Then Li Maicheng, Zhang Qian, and the soldiers of the Han mission led a dozen horses and continued westward.

They crossed a piece of high mountains and mountains, a piece of lakes and swamps, the scenery along the road is so beautiful, the mountain spring is so clear, they pick some wild fruits from time to time to eat, drink the sweet mountain spring.

Gradually, they walked into a dense forest that stretched as far as the eye could see, and they heard the wolf howling from time to time, and the mournful cry of the ape, and the great ape heard a few wails in response to this.

One by one, they were so exhausted that the horses could not walk.

Li Maicheng flew up and looked into the distance, and there was still an endless forest in front of him.

He then said, "Master, you stay here for a while, and I'll go find something to eat." ”

Zhang Qianhan wiped the sweat on his face and said, "Go, go early and come back early." ”

Then Bai Ruoxue also said: "Master, Maicheng and I will go to find something to eat together, and take care of each other." ”

Zhang Han said, "Okay." ”

Then Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue flew away together, and while they were flying, they looked around, and suddenly saw smoke rising in front of the forest.

Li Maicheng said: "Ruoxue, let's go and take a look, maybe there are people." ”

Bai Ruoxue said, "Okay, go and fly." ”

Then they flew over, and stopped at the place where there was a house, and saw that there were four or five earthen houses in the open field, and they saw two strong men chopping wood, and an old man killing sheep.

Li Maicheng asked the woodcutter, "Brother, can I get some food from you, we are in a hurry, passing by this forest." ”

The strong man followed a large number of them and said, "Oh, it's a little couple, come to this desolate forest, aren't you afraid of being taken away by wolves?"

Li Maicheng said: "You are not afraid, what are we afraid of." ”

As he was talking, three people suddenly walked out of the high earthen house, a very strong man, and a somewhat dull man, and at the back followed by a woman who looked a little rough but a little petite and delicate.

The very strong man looked particularly domineering around the wolf's skin, and he said politely: "Oh, passers-by, come and drink a pot inside." ”

Li Maicheng looked at the three of them and said, "Okay, you have a vacant house here, I'm afraid we are not only the two of us, but there are many people, but there is a place for us to live." ”

The strong man then said: "Call me Ling Xiaodiao, you go and call your people, we have wine to drink and meat to eat." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, just call me Maicheng, and we will call our people." ”

Then Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue left the earthen house, went to the forest, and flew back to the place where Zhang Qianhan made them wait.

Zhang Qian's envoy saw that Li Maicheng had returned, and said casually: "Maicheng, have you found something to eat." ”

Li Maicheng said: "I found it, just ahead, there are a few families, they are still killing sheep, and they also have a place to live." ”

Zhang Qian said: "Okay, let's all follow Maicheng." ”

Then Li Maicheng led them forward, and after a while, they arrived at the earthen house in the forest.

As soon as they arrived at the earthen house, Ling Xiaodiao greeted them at the door, and when he saw them coming, he said: "Maicheng, you have brought so many people, come and come into the house, everyone in the house said."

Then they all went into the house.

Mai Chengsui said to Ling Xiaodiao: "Thank you Brother Ling Xiao for your hospitality, I am really grateful." ”

Ling Xiaodiao said: "It's not easy to go out, you pass by our humble house, don't dislike here, and there is nothing delicious to treat you, there will be roast whole sheep for a while, you can taste it." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Brother Ling Xiao, my master Zhang Qian and I, as well as the brothers of our mission, we went to the Western Regions from Chang'an of the Great Han Dynasty to find help from the Yue Clan. ”

Ling Xiaodiao was suddenly stunned when he heard this, and said: "I see, the big man is a big country, by the way, let me introduce you, this stupid Luminous Eagle next to me, and this little woman is a sinister spirit." ”

When Li Maicheng heard this, he suddenly felt strange and said, "Brother Ling Xiao, you have such strange names, you all feel like birds." ”

Ling Xiaodiao said: "Brother Maicheng, you are really good at laughing, but you see that there is a fish head next to you, and the one with an orangutan head, it feels even stranger, is there such a strange person in the distance." ”

The koi monster said unconvinced: "Brother Ling Xiao, you have seen too little, don't you know that the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds? ”

Ling Xiaodiao said: "Okay, don't laugh, let my sister sing you a song, she sings very well, that's why she is called Sha Bailing." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, we have an ear suit." ”

Ling Xiaodiao said: "Come on, serve wine, let's drink together and listen to songs." ”

Bai Ruoxue said: "Brother Ling Xiao, there is a guqin, I will play the piano to cheer up the spirit." ”

Ling Xiaodiao said: "Yes, someone came to bring the guqin up." ”

Then a few subordinates brought the guqin up, and Bai Ruoxue began to play Guanglingsan.

And the evil Bailing and the sound of the guqin, sang "Qin Feng • Yellow Bird", one by one, "Handed over to the Yellow Bird, as for Chu, who is from Mu Gong, Ziche Needle Tiger, Wei This Needle Tiger, Centurion's Imperial ......"

The song spread throughout the forest, and all of a sudden, the forest was filled with the sound of birds, and then all the birds in the forest flew to the place of the earthen house.

Maicheng's ears felt wrong when he heard the sound outside, and he was shocked that something was wrong, but suddenly his head was a little dizzy.

He touched his head and said, "Master, junior brother, brothers, run, there is an ambush." ”

I saw that the head of the evil bird instantly became the appearance of a lark, and wings grew on its back, and the Lingxiao eagle turned into an eagle eagle, and took out two sledgehammers in his hand, and the Yeming eagle's head turned into an owl, Li Maicheng found that the three were clearly the eagle spirit, the lark spirit and the owl spirit, and a large number of birds outside the earthen house flew in to peck at the soldiers of the mission, and the dozen or so horses were pecked in an instant.

Zhou Xiaotian also drank wine, his strength was exhausted, and he was staggering with a long-handled axe to chop down the flying flamingos, killing one after another.

And Bai Ruoxue was not poisoned because she didn't drink alcohol because she played the guqin, and she frantically slashed and killed the birds that rushed in with her twin knives, while the Ling Xiao Eagle took a sledgehammer and chased Li Maicheng together, and took advantage of the situation to snatch the Lian clan from Li Maicheng.

And the koi monster and the giant ape monster were holding weapons to protect the people of the mission, fighting against those flying birds and demons, and a large number of crazy birds, which were simply black and overwhelming, killing a large number of them, and a large number of them flew in, and many of the soldiers of the mission were pecked in the eyes by those flying birds, some were pecked to death, and some were caught by the eagles and flew high, and then fell down heavily.

Seeing that the senior brothers and the people of the mission had suffered particularly heavy casualties, the giant ape transformed into a snow-capped mountain giant ape more than four meters high, wailing, hammering his chest and roaring, and suddenly rushed out of the forest A large number of monkeys and apes.

The monkeys climbed the branches and vines and flew over the treetops, while the apes ran after them with stones, throwing stones and killing the birds.

Those monkeys and apes all rushed over and formed a big circle, surrounding the snow-capped mountain giant ape, while Li Maicheng and the others stood weakly behind the snow-capped mountain giant ape.

The monkeys and apes fought with the birds, and one by one the birds were knocked to the ground.

The snow-capped giant ape roared wildly, and the Ling Xiao Eagle also transformed into a big eagle eagle waving its wings and flapping monkeys and apes.

Zhou Xiaotian felt that his limbs were weak, but he still picked up the axe and protected Master Zhang Qian and Gan Fu to the death.

The Koi Monster is holding a sledgehammer and fighting the Luminite Eagle.

The crazy birds were knocked to the ground, the monkeys were shot to death by the Ling Xiao Eagle, Li Maicheng watched the soldiers of the mission being pecked to death and knocked down, he felt weak in his limbs, and if it continued like this for half an hour, he felt that their mission was going to be wiped out by these three bird spirits today.

In an instant, suddenly there was a roaring tiger roar in the forest, and Li Maicheng turned his head to see a huge tiger rushing over and tearing the luminous eagle to the ground, and the tiger was followed by leopards, wild wolves, and wild boars, and they rushed over to bite those black and crushed birds, and the birds were bitten to death one by one.

Seeing that the tiger was so fierce and brought so many fierce beasts, the eagle had no choice but to pull up the Luminite Eagle, and then the spirit let out a screaming bird's cry, and the birds stopped attacking when they heard it, and flew away quickly with the eagle.

Bai Ruoxue still wanted to chase after him, but Li Maicheng followed his horse lance and said weakly: "Ruoxue, come back quickly." ”

Bai Ruoxue turned around when she heard this, only to see that the huge tiger gradually transformed into a human form, and Li Maicheng took a closer look at it and it was actually a sword tiger.

The sword tiger waved his hand, and the wild leopards, wild wolves, wild boars, and some fierce beasts gradually retreated and returned to the forest.

Jian Lihu stepped forward to help the weak Li Maicheng and said, "Brother Maicheng, you are okay." ”

Li Maicheng said: "I'm okay, but I fell for the tricks of the three bird spirits and the poisonous wine." Moreover, Lian Shibi was also snatched away by the eagle, more than a dozen horses died, and more than 20 brothers of the mission died, and now there are only 30 people left in our mission. I swore I would go to the three bird spirits for revenge. ”

Jian Lihu said: "I saw a hundred birds here in the distance on the top of the snowy mountain, and the ape wailed and felt that something big must have happened, so I led the beast to help, but I didn't expect it to be you, brother." ”

Mai Cheng said: "Sword Tiger, thank you for your help, if you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to support it under the attack of so many birds." ”

Jian Lihu said: "Brother Maicheng, you are polite, I am here to repay your kindness, I think when I was still the size of a cat, my father Jin Wanghu, the king of a mountain, was taken away by my second uncle Hei Zhenhu, how helpless I was in a foreign land, and then Hei Zhenhu pretended to be a hero and won the support of the people, and he also arrested me and put me in an iron cage, it was you Li Maicheng and the Han mission who saved me, you helped me defeat Hei Zhenhu and gave me a stable life, today I came to repay the favor." ”

Li Maicheng heard this and said, "Don't talk about it, let's all go into the house and rest first." ”

Zhang Qian's envoy also said: "Let's go into the house quickly, it's getting dark, those crazy birds will come back, and the three bird spirits will make a comeback, let's go into the house and close the doors and windows, and stay here at night." ”

Jian Lihu said, "Okay, let's all go into the house." ”

Then they all went into the house to rest, and outside the house a huge bonfire was lit, and they pressed the wood against the doors and windows, and stayed up the long night waiting for the bloody dawn.
