Chapter Twenty-Five: The Turtle Prepares for War
Huai Wei heard that Xuangui had used the radical method, and she was not angry, so she simply told the truth: "Xuangui Lao'er, you don't have to test me with words, I can tell you clearly that the divine power to destroy the world is still there, but the divine body is damaged, so it can't be used." ”
Xuan Gui saw Huai Wei's casual appearance of spreading his hands, and wanted to find even the slightest trace of joking from her expression, but no, the light of hope in his eyes was extinguished, and he hung his head and said: "The little demon has already noticed it, but he still can't believe it in his heart!" ”
"What? Disappointed? I regret inviting me, a useless god, into the Tortoise Clan, don't you? Huai Wei asked with a smile.
The Venerable God laughed, the little demon just felt confused, and he didn't know what the reason for such an arrangement of the Heavenly Dao was. At the same time, the gods also felt aggrieved, thinking about hearing your prestige from your fathers and grandparents, how wonderful it was! Heaven and earth, omnipotent, who has entered your eyes? How could you ever be so wronged? I don't want to come back after a thousand years, I have no divine power, but I can't use it, how uncomfortable you should be in your heart! God, you have suffered! But don't worry, I want to come to heaven to arrange this, there must be a deep meaning, and the magic power will eventually be able to be used one day. Xuan Gui denied Huai Wei's words, and said what was in his heart, he was humiliating for Huai Wei.
After hearing this, Huai Wei laughed, and when she heard it, she was in a much better mood, and said with a smile: "You old man, you are really soft-hearted!" ”
As he was talking, Gu Zhi, who had gone to the communication, returned quickly, his expression was solemn, as if he had something to worry about, only to see him stand still, look at Huai Wei with worried eyes, and said worriedly: "The message cannot be conveyed, at first the elders couldn't accept it, I think it was because of some urgent matter, after trying a few times, it was no longer possible to communicate, and the Spiral Turtle Clan was banned from being cut off." ”
"It seems that the ghost clan really plans to break each one, and they don't even leave us a way back." Huai Wei had already realized it, and she didn't panic at this time, she turned her head and said to Xuan Gui, "Xuan Lao, now that the communication is blocked, it is not realistic to break through from the inside out, it seems that this matter is imperative." Choose a reliable young man, remember that this trip is difficult and dangerous, and you need to be brave and determined to succeed. ”
"Dare to ask the gods, what is the plan?" Xuan Gui was thinking about the right person in his mind, and at the same time asked Huai Wei's strategy.
"Is there a place in the clan where you can go directly to the leylines? It should be in the place where the younger generations cultivate. Huai Wei didn't answer the rhetorical question.
Xuan Gui thought about it for a while, and then he had an answer, but he still had questions: "Yes, yes, I don't know what the use is here?" ”
"Xiao Jia is from the clan's leyline, to find the Phoenix clan's holy land, now there is no other way but to take a risk. In the cage, the right to do the battle of trapped beasts, you also need to find a strong backup. Huai Wei explained the origin of the leylines.
"The Holy Land of the Phoenix Clan is not a place where you can enter it, and the Phoenix Clan has come to live in seclusion and seclusion, and if you don't figure it out with other clans, even if you are lucky enough to find it, the Phoenix Clan will not necessarily come to help. Tell God, how likely is it to succeed? Xuan Gui voiced his concerns, in his opinion, this method of following the leylines to find the Phoenix Clan for help was tantamount to nonsense, and its reliability was extremely low.
"Five out of ten." Huai Wei said bluntly, and then added, "But with the Xuanjia thing, success may be increased by eleven or two." ”
"Okay, the little demon will take a gamble with the gods." Xuan Gui closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then ordered, "Go and call Xuan Ji to me." ”
A young man teleported in, seeing that he was well armored and radiant, obviously ready to go into battle to kill the enemy, Xuan Gui introduced: "This son is the most heroic young man in our clan, he is smart, has a strong personality, and has a strong sense of responsibility, he is the most suitable for this trip." ”
"Xuanji, there is a task to be entrusted to you this time, and you should listen up." Xuan Gui motioned for Huai Wei to start assigning tasks.
"Follow the leylines, go to the hottest places, and when you get there, you'll see a dozen phoenixes, maybe more, leave them alone. Say hello first, and when they notice you, they shrink into their carapace and shout, 'The Turtle Clan has come to ask for help, the Ghost Clan has attacked and harassed me for no reason, ruined my homeland, injured my compatriots, please help the Phoenix Clan'. If the Phoenix Clan refuses to help, then you say, 'The Phoenix Clan was alone thousands of years ago, and today it still wants to be a turtle with a shrunken head'. If they still refuse, then you come back immediately, and you don't have to stay long. Did you hear me clearly? What else is there not to understand? Huai Wei went through the details of what Xuan Ji was going to do and what he was going to say.
"Hear clearly, understand everything." Xuan Ji did not question, did not even say a word of objection, and resolutely obeyed the order.
Huai Wei solemnly admonished: "Xuan Ji, now pin the hope of the entire Spiral Turtle Clan on you, the responsibility is heavy, remember to be cautious and deal with it calmly." But there is one thing that is especially important to protect yourself, and I am here to wait for you to return and fight side by side. ”
"Xuanji, you will live up to your mission." As soon as the words fell, they disappeared in an instant, disappearing in place, really coming and going like the wind.
"Venerable God, aren't you afraid of angering the Phoenix clan because of the words you let Xuan Ji say?" Xuangui couldn't help but be a little worried.
"The Phoenix Clan wants to continue the glory of the clan, what's the use of the light nest in Danxue Mountain? The Phoenix Emperor was famous for his righteousness back then, so he could win the praise of the Six Realms, blindly protect himself, and not share the same spirit with the demon clan, and could not escape the fate of decay. And the weakness of the Phoenix clan has already appeared, if it is stubborn, there is only one way to perish. I'm giving him a chance to revive the glory of the Phoenix Clan. Huai Wei didn't feel that what she said was too much, but felt that this was a shot in the arm for the Phoenix Clan, forcing them to make a choice.
"I hope Xuanjie will have a smooth journey and return safely." Xuan Gui was worried in his words, and then said indignantly, "My Turtle Clan and the Ghost Clan have not committed any crimes since the autumn, they have no grievances in the distant future, and they have no hatred in the near future, why are they robbers attacking for no reason?" ”
"I'm afraid it has something to do with an old legend. It is rumored that the Spiral Turtle Clan has a divine artifact left over from the Xuanwu of the ancient gods, called Basalt Stone, which can regenerate the remnants of the body. Xuan Lao, can there be such a thing in the clan? Huai Wei asked with a gossipy face, looking very curious.
"There is indeed such a thing, but the legend cannot be believed, and the effect of basalt is still unknown because no one has ever tried it. How could the ghost clan use a large number of troops against my tortoise clan because of ethereal things? Xuan Gui said bluntly, and turned very angry.
Huai Wei smiled, and was about to say a few words to the ghost clan, when Gu Zhi said in surprise: "Ah Wei, you can use it." ”
"This thing is useless to me, it can only be used to resurrect the remnants of the body, such as the Ghost King's leg that I abolished and the arm that was just severed." Huai Wei extinguished the spark that ignited in Gu Zhi's eyes with a word, and then said a guess about the intention of the ghost clan's move.
"What does the god mean is that the ghost king wants basalt?" Xuan Gui asked in surprise, as if he couldn't believe it.
"Yes or no, wouldn't it be clear if you asked?" It seems that Huai Wei is preparing to go to the ghost clan to meet the attack in person, and then casually chatted with Xuan Gui, "But I said Xuan Lao, your heart is really big, such an important thing is actually placed in Xuanjia." ”
Xuan Gui saw that Huai Wei lightly exposed the hiding place of the basalt, and he was not panicked, but came up with a reason: "The god is really like a torch." But as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, and who would have thought that basalt would actually be on an inconspicuous child. Besides, not everyone has the same discernment as God. ”
"Xuan Lao is clever!" Huai Wei praised Xuan Gui, suddenly thought of something, and said to Gu Zhi, who was frowning, "I was in a hurry just now, I almost forgot that there was that strange fish, Xiao Jia was a treasure of that fish, and I almost took my life for him." If something goes wrong, it's hard to explain it to him. Ah Zhi, you are tired, go and bring the fish over and change it to a safe place. ”
Although Gu Zhi didn't like the strange fish very much, he had a fish tank, he was a little more acceptable, and he put on a stinky face and teleported away.
"Elder Xuan, please gather the people in the clan who are strong in demon power and are good at fighting and learning, and I have some skills to teach to deal with the ghost clan." Huai Wei didn't pay attention to Gu Zhi's annoyance, dealt with trivial matters, and began to concentrate on dealing with the next battle and making some preparations in advance.
Because she couldn't teleport quickly, in order to save time, Huai Wei could only choose to talk while walking, and conveyed the corresponding precautions one by one: "First, the grimace is the place where the ghost qi gathers, which is equivalent to the place where the heart is. Second, the ghost clan carries the water of the Yuan River on this trip, remember to pay attention to dodge, this water is rotten when it encounters things, there is no way to resist, and it cannot be resisted; Third, since the clan chooses to contend with them, then we have no way to retreat, and we must resist death, and those who retreat will leave now. ”
"The people of the clan will never back down." The Spiral Turtle Clan is united, responding in unison, and the mountains and rivers are magnificent.
During the march, Gu Zhi teleported from behind to catch up, and rudely pulled Lu Kui's tail in his hand, completely losing his previous disgust, the expression on his face was very angry, and he only heard him shout: "Ah Wei, this fish is reporting to the ghost clan, and it happened to be bumped into by me." ”
Huai Wei narrowed her eyes, her expression instantly became dangerous, and Gu Zhi explained: "Tell me clearly, what's going on?" ”
"It's in vain that you're still worried about him, it's good that he's going to secretly summon the ghost clan while we're not paying attention, look, this is what I just captured from him." Gu Zhi brought Lu Kui to his eyes, looked at him with his dead fish eyes, and said angrily, "I didn't wronged you, did I?" ”
"Yo, it's still a high-level messenger." Huai Wei took the messenger, praised it, hooked the corners of her mouth, and couldn't hear joy or anger in her tone, "It's a pity, the news can't get out, right?" In their eyes, you are useless, equivalent to a dead fish. I said that the ghost clan chose to invade today, and today is not an auspicious day for the zodiac, it turns out that you, the inner ghost, are stirring up trouble. ”
