Chapter 20: Poor Strange
Isn't it that Ah Ruo, this girl, is playing wild in Danhu Mountain, and she doesn't even bother to reply to the letter from home?
"Didn't you send someone to Danhu Mountain to have a look?" Du Heng asked.
"Oh, Childe, don't mention it," Yu Yang frowned, "As soon as you left on your front foot, there were a lot of ghosts on the thin mountain on your back foot, harassing you day and night. All the disciples of the Du family have been sent to catch ghosts, how can there be any spare people to go to Shanhu Mountain......"
Quan Hui said: "Sister Fang, anyway, it's okay at home now, you miss your sister so much, why don't you go to see her in person?" ”
Du Heng shook his head and said, "Since Mu Yu has followed Qu Jichao, it is always inappropriate for me to go over again." Let's send someone to Danhu Mountain tomorrow. ”
With Ah Ruo's temper, I don't know how Mu Yu will bully her when she goes to Danhu Mountain.
Since the day Boshan cleared the ghosts, the new monarch of the Du family has become famous, and there is an endless stream of families who come to visit, including even the new head of the family who came to the house that day. Yusu didn't say much, and smiled at the visiting family. Du Heng didn't want to cause those troubles, and every time someone came to visit, he said that something was wrong, and he piled up all the stalls for Xisu.
After a long time, the night stay was unbearable, so I simply advanced the date of the succession ceremony that was originally planned, and invited the big and small families to have a spoonful of stew, which saved a lot of trouble.
On the day of the succession ceremony, the sweet jujube was full of people, and the guests who came to participate in the ceremony almost filled the Yingliang Valley. The gifts were piled up, and the disciples who counted the gifts were in a hurry, and they couldn't put them in the main hall, so they could only pile them on the school grounds.
Du Heng was dressed in black, only a red hairband on his head. This is the only festive decoration on the Du family's body on a special day. He stood in the middle of the hall, smiling and saluting his guests, his face stiffened.
One after another, the Shan Hu Qu family, the Zhaoyao Yun family, and even the Kongsang Yu family sent people. Du Heng saw the light gray clan uniform of the Qu family, and his head was big, and he didn't even want to ask about Du Ruo, so he took advantage of the night to greet him, and quickly slipped away.
Du Heng bypassed all the guests, walked around the mountain alone, and unknowingly went up to Li'er Peak. He raised his hand to touch the round and jade locust flower, and his heart was mixed.
People's hearts, is it really said that change will change?
Du Heng sighed, leaned over and touched the roots of the tree where Mu Yu had avoided the rain, and suddenly heard Yu Yang calling himself.
"Childe! Childe, when did you leave? Since Childe's mana has become stronger, it has become more and more difficult to keep up with Childe......"
"You don't greet guests in the main hall, what are you doing here to find me?"
"I want to protect Childe."
"How can I need your protection now?" Du Heng said with a smile.
"That's not good, there is always something that Childe can't take care of, I have to help Childe watch it."
Du Heng smiled and shook his head, and suddenly a golden bird fell on his shoulder.
The Du family's correspondence has always been transported by lurot. The general letters are sent to the green eagles, and the correspondence is under the control of the national teacher. And the important letter is to send a golden bird, and he is only responsible for Du Jun.
Du Heng frowned, removed a small bamboo tube from the Leo Owl's leg, pulled out the small note inside, and read it. Reading and reading, Du Heng's originally tightly knit brows slowly relaxed.
"Good!" Du Heng shook the note, "Poor Qi ran out!" ”
The note burned with a thud and turned to ashes.
Qiqi, an ancient fierce beast, because he ate too many people, was pressed at the bottom of the Snake Witch Mountain after being subdued by Du Jiuzhai. That poor Qi was firmly locked by the thousand-year-old Xuantie and couldn't move, so Du Jiuzhai sent two more Hercules generals to guard it. It hasn't happened for thousands of years, but for some reason it's running out now.
Yu Yang's eyes widened and he said, "Huh? Poor Qi ran out? What's a good thing? ”
"If Qiqi runs away, I will be able to slip away justifiably," Du Heng snorted, "I don't have to look at those hypocritical smirks that come to the door anymore." ”
"Sister Fang, where are you going to slip away?" Quan Hui suddenly fell from the clouds.
"Go treasure hunting." Du Heng squeezed his eyes.
"Treasure hunting? Then I'm going too! "Quan Hui jumped three feet high.
"But Childe ......"
Yu Yang was about to say something, but he was slapped by Du Heng and pushed aside.
The three men jumped on the clouds and headed south. Approaching Snake Witch Mountain, I saw a blood-red patch under the mountain from a distance, and the blood almost merged into a river and flowed around.
The three of them descended by the river of blood, their faces heavy. They were just about to lift their feet up the mountain, but they were suddenly blocked by two small Taoist priests with swords.
"You're here to win the pearl too?"
"Capture the pearl? What beads to grab? Du Heng said.
"Yo, it's quite similar," a little Taoist priest shouted, "I see that a few of you are also a bit of a Taoist, so why pretend to be stupid?" ”
Yuyang saw that the little Taoist priest was disrespectful, and opened his mouth to say: "You should be respectful, this is our Du ......"
Du Heng waved his hand, signaled Yuyang to shut up, and then hugged his fists and said: "The two Taoist masters have vicious eyes, and they debunked us at once, and we are here to win the pearl." ”
The little Taoist priest looked proud, and said: "Hmph, I think you should leave as soon as possible, this place has been surrounded by my disciples of Qihuang Mountain, we have decided this pearl, don't want to rob us." ”
Qihuang Mountain? What pheasant sect? I've never heard of it. Isn't it possible that if I haven't been in Middle-earth for four years, there will be some more terrible sects?
Du Heng looked back at Yuyang and found that Yuyang was also confused.
"Just a few of you three-legged cats, and you also covet this fairy baby, I think you better leave as soon as possible!" One of the little Taoist priests waved his hand impatiently.
Du Heng rolled his eyes and said tentatively: "The two Daoists are so insightful, although we know that this bead is a treasure, but we don't know what the specific method is, can I ask the two Daoists?" ”
A little Taoist snorted coldly and said, "Saying that you are three-legged cats, it seems that I really don't look down on you." You don't even know what you've come to take, and you're losing your life when you come. This soul bead was put into the belly of the beast by the old immortal who subdued the beast at that time, otherwise how could it be possible to hold it up with just this small snake witch mountain? ”
Du Heng was even more strange in his heart, his father surrendered to Qi Qi back then, all of which relied on his outstanding immortal method and extraordinary courage, and he was able to trap Qi by relying on the thousand-year-old Xuantie lock and the spirit cup in the hands of the Hercules general, and he had never heard of any soul beads? Could it be that they are mistaken by false rumors, talking about the Zhenling Cup? But that cup is only useful in the hands of the gods, and others hold it just like an ordinary cup, so there is no need to grab it.
I don't know who let it out, which attracted these people, I'm afraid there is still a lot of trouble on this mountain.
Du Heng no longer talked nonsense with the two Taoist priests, he waved his hand, fixed the bodies of the two Taoist priests, and walked towards the mountain. Quan Hui passed by the two stunned Taoist priests and grimaced.
Along the way, the three of them encountered all kinds of small sects that blocked the way, and the rhetoric in their mouths was similar, all of them were in a posture of wanting to drive people away, and more people were not welcome to come to get a piece of the pie.
The further you go up the mountain, the more blood there is on the ground, and it almost turns into a waterfall. Du Heng's heart became heavier and heavier, wondering how many people this poor man had killed to shed so much blood.
Yu Yang looked down at the blood flow at his feet and said, "Childe, isn't Qiqi able to fly?" Why didn't it fly away, why did it stay on this mountain? ”
Du Heng said: "Its wings were cut by its father, its power was greatly reduced, and it couldn't fly. ”
"Then it can walk on its feet."
Du Heng pointed to the sky and said, "I don't know who has set up a trapped demon array here, although it is not very reliable, but it can still be maintained for a while against a crippled beast." ”
Quan Hui complained as she walked: "Sister Fang, is the treasure hunt you just said to be looking for the soul bead?" With so much blood on the ground, wouldn't it be dangerous for the monster with the treasure in its belly......"
"It's very dangerous, why don't you go back?" Du Heng said.
"I don't! No matter how dangerous it is, I have to be with Sister Fang. Quan Hui pouted.
"I really don't know what you think, Childe," Yuyang waded through the river of blood, blood and water splashed in all directions, "To deal with such a dangerous beast as Qiqi, you have to bring Quan Hui girl, and Childe is not afraid that she will make any mistakes."
Du Heng said: "Let her face the old snake spirit at home alone, I am even more worried. ”
Yuyang said: "Childe, are you still suspicious of the national teacher?" In the past four years, I went out with the national teacher every day to clean up the demons, and he did his best, and I didn't see him do anything to harm the sweet dates. Childe, are you thinking wrong? ”
Du Heng said: "You are with him every day? With him all the time? ”
Yu Yang hesitated for a moment, scratched his head and said, "That's not true, sometimes there are not enough people, and we will also act separately." Don't...... But what is he trying to ......?"
Seeing that he was about to reach the top of the mountain, suddenly, a noise came.
Du Heng listened carefully, and there seemed to be some rules in the chaotic voice, as if several groups of people were working together to fight that Qiqi.
He was distracted, and flew forward, only to see Qi Qi with his back to him, surrounded by a group of people.
Qiqi's body resembles a tiger, but his body is very large. The thick and powerful tail is like a dragon's tail and a fish's tail, and if it is pumped, I am afraid that it will be crushed. The four big feet burst into the flesh, and the tips of their claws dug deep into the dirt, and the cracks of their claws were full of dry black blood. It was covered in scales, and although several swords were pierced into the cracks of the armor, it was like a toothpick piercing a watermelon.
And above this seemingly powerful and invincible body, there is a pair of broken wings. The wings seemed to be immobile, and most of them were hanging cumbersomely at the sides of the body, except for the two small roots that were still stubbornly propped up.
Dozens of people around him were full of fear, and the magic weapon blade was in his hand, but the soles of his feet were moving, and no one dared to step forward.
Suddenly, Qi Qi roared and raised his head sharply. The huge head was like a giant hammer, and between the sharp teeth and bronze teeth, there was actually half a human body in its mouth. The body was still kicking and kicking on both legs, and this man didn't seem to be dead yet!
The cold light suddenly appeared, and Du Heng raised his arms to sacrifice Yaohua. He flipped his hand and spun twice in mid-air, swinging forward. Yaohua also flipped the blade of the sword and stabbed it hard at Qi Qi's ribs with the hilt of the sword.
Yuyang was shocked and shouted, "Childe! It's reversed! ”
The corners of Du Heng's mouth raised slightly, and a hint of naughtiness flashed in his eyes.
Qi Qi was shaking his head and shaking his body in his mouth, defenseless. was poked by Yaohua's sword hilt like this, his eyes bulged violently, and he actually "roared" and spit out half of his body.
The people around saw this magic weapon flying in a strange move, and they all looked here, their eyes full of surprise.
Quan Hui exclaimed: "Sister Fang, how do you know ......?"
Du Heng smiled: "When I was a child playing with a bobcat, poking the bobcat under the ribs would urge it to vomit. Qiqi was originally a tiger, and he thought that there should be something in common, so he wanted to try it, but he didn't expect to win. ”
Yu Yang said: "Qi Qi actually has such a weakness, so wouldn't it be easy for us to subdue it?" ”
Du Heng shook his head: "That's just a conditioned reflex, it has to be unexpected to have this effect, it's not a weakness." ”
The man who was spit out was covered in blood, like a clay man. He stood up tremblingly and turned to Du Heng's side.
As a result, several people were stunned.
Under the hair stained with turbid liquid, it was actually Du Ruo's face.
