"What's going on?" Zun Mojun looked at the incredible scene in front of him and asked Gu Muqing.

Gu Muqing didn't expect that the little milk cat, which was weak and weak in his arms just now, could now become such a behemoth by the way.

Gollum knew that he had revealed his true body, and he must have frightened Gu Muqing and Zun Mojun. It sat in the water again and changed back to the kitten.

It slowly walked to Gu Muqing's side, jumped on her lap, raised its head, and said to her, "Madam, in fact, I was able to meet you that night, all of this was planned by me. ”

In fact, Gollum is the divine beast with the ability to foresee, and it has seen what will happen to their wooden city in the future early on. also saw Gu Muqing's face in his own prediction. So when Gu Muqing and his party set off in the Xuanwang Mansion that day, they waited along the way, transformed into the appearance of this kitten, and found the right time to wait for the encounter with Gu Muqing.

Gollum explained to Gu Muqing: "Madam, my father has been the king of spirit beasts in this mysterious place for hundreds of years. For tens of thousands of years, our spirit pets and humans here have lived in friendship and survived together. But just a few years ago, there was something in this city that had never happened before, an outsider from nowhere and nowhere, suddenly broke into our wooden city. After seeing our spirit beast, he became greedy. For the first few years, we lived as safe as ever, but what we didn't expect was that the man secretly colluded with some restless people in the city to turn us spirit beasts into his own weapons. ”

"Later, they secretly killed my father and the old city lord while they were not paying attention. In front of me that day, my father and the old city lord were assassinated like that, and the bricks of the wooden city were stained red with blood. Because of my special status, when the rebel proclaimed himself king, he went about offering me a reward for my head. I had no choice but to hide my mana and transform into the form of this kitten. ”

Gu Muqing listened to the past of this wooden city. She didn't expect that now looking at such a peaceful place, there would be such a coup d'état behind her back. She followed the story of Gollum and carefully observed the spirit beasts passing by, and found that they all had a large or small iron ring at their ankle.

Gollum saw Gu Muqing's gaze, and it continued: "Madame has also noticed the iron ring, our spirit beasts have always been dislike fighting, in the past few decades since my father's death. The atmosphere in the city gradually changed, and as long as our spirit pets touched the iron weapon, most of the natural mana was reduced. Influenced by the words of the city lord, humans felt that we spirit beasts would one day enslave them, so the people in the city slowly cast an iron ring to trap our spirit beasts. Some good-hearted people will treat us well, and over time, spirit animals will become spirit pets. ”

Gu Muqing heard this tragic thing, and then looked at the grunt sitting on his lap. She looked at Zun Mojun beside her and said to him, "Husband, I know why we have not been able to recover this wooden city for so many years. ”

"Why?" Zun Mojun asked puzzled.

"Because of fear." Gu Muqing looked at the spring water, then looked at Zun Mojun and said, "Because the people of Mucheng are afraid of spirit beasts, fear of outsiders, and fear of iron tools. So, they forged a thick wall and sealed themselves off. We should save them! ”

"Just you and me?" Zun Mojun pointed at Gu Muqing and then pointed at himself and asked.

Gu Muqing nodded and said, "It's just you and me." ”

Gu Muqing put Gollum back into the bamboo basket behind him, jumped into the carriage full of wine barrels, took a jar of spring water, and let Zun Mojun drive towards the liveliest place in the city.

"Sell alcohol! Sell alcohol! Made from our own grapes! Natural wine! Gu Muqing shouted in the street at the top of his throat, trying to attract people's attention in this crowded market.

At this moment, a richly dressed man stood in front of their carriage. The surrounding people saw this person disperse one after another, and Gu Muqing also noticed the changes in the crowd.

She smiled, looked at the man in front of her who looked a little old, and asked, "This official, do you want to buy wine and eat?" ”

"Hahahahaha." The man touched the beard on his chin and smiled, "It's the first time someone called me an official." Can you taste this wine? ”

Gu Muqing nodded and said, "Of course you can, you wait, official, I'll go and make you a bowl for you to taste." After saying that, Gu Muqing walked towards the bamboo building where the grunts were pretended, opened the lid, and pretended to rummage through the utensils inside.

"Who is this man? Why are you so domineering? Gu Muqing asked in a low voice.

Gollum looked through the gap in the bamboo building, and couldn't help but tremble and said, "This person is the city lord." ”

"Huh? Why are you so young......" Before Gu Muqing could finish asking, the city lord of Namu City urged on the side: "Bold Diao Min, how dare you let this king wait here for so long?" ”

When Gu Muqing heard this, he hurriedly picked up a bowl, ran to the city lord with an apologetic face, and said to him: "Don't be angry, the little girl's shop hasn't been open for long, and the things are messy, so I'll give you wine and food." After speaking, he opened Jiugang and took a full bowl of wine and handed it to the city lord.

The lord of the city took the wine bowl, tasted it, and threw the bowl in his hand to the ground: "Good wine! Wine! Send me all your cars to the palace! After speaking, he looked at Gu Muqing carefully, pinched Gu Muqing's chin with his fingers and said, "You are not a bad beauty, bring me this wine yourself!" After saying that, he turned around and shook his hand and left.

Zun Mojun gritted his teeth, his face seemed to be frozen, and his eyes were red as he stared at the back of the city lord. "The woman who dares to touch me." After saying that, he drew his sword and was about to rush forward.

Gu Muqing pressed Zun Mojun's hand on the side and said to him, "Husband, don't be impulsive. Now go out of the city, and lead them that are stationed outside the city, and they will wait outside, after three hours, if the gates of the city are not opened. Husband, you will lead your troops to attack. ”

Zun Mojun clenched his fists, as if he wanted to wash this wooden city in blood, he looked at Gu Muqing and said, "Madam, it is impossible for me to let other men touch you in the slightest. ”

Gu Muqing held Zun Mojun's hand, forcefully broke his clenched hand, and said to him: "Husband, don't worry, I naturally know it in my heart, besides, I have thought of how to rescue these spirit pets." ”
