"What's the matter?"

"I don't know." Lin Ci's complexion changed slightly.

"I've heard something."

"Oh? What is it? Lin Xi asked urgently.

"Just now, the people of the Wu clan went to the city gate, saying that another Heavenly Witch had returned."

Lin Ci said "oh", put the cup on the table next to him, and said, "It seems that the day of the decisive battle is getting closer and closer, let's go, let's take a look and see what the witch looks like that day." ”

Twilight snorted, her tone seemed a little dissatisfied, and said, "What, do you want another one like the witch spirit?" ”

Outside the Qingni Palace, the Wu warriors were stepping on those snow-white deer. This strange beast seems to be their usual mount, and Lin Xi and the two of them came out of the main hall and asked for one each.

The samurai who had attained the great deer had already gone away from the deer. Lin Ci and the others also rode up, but they stepped off the big deer, but they didn't look indifferent to them. Let Lin Xi make all kinds of trouble, just don't move. Lin Ci was at a loss, and was just about to get off the ground and run to the edge of the city on his two legs.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of hooves behind her, and when she looked back, it was the witch spirit who rode her snow deer out of the temple gate.

Seeing Lin Ci's sad face on the deer, Wu Ling smiled lightly, came to Lin Ci's side, stretched out his hand to touch the body of the deer, and said: "You must talk to it in a good voice, you must not regard it as a mount, originally everything in this world, there is no reason for anyone to control whom." ”

Lin Ci muttered in his heart, it turned out that he had to rely on coaxing.

Over there, Twilight Snow had already done the same, gently caressing the deer's neck, leaning over the deer's ear and not knowing what to say. The witch pat her snow deer, which descended the stone steps with graceful steps and waved its head at the two great deer, as if to signal them to follow.

Then the front hooves were raised, and suddenly they ran out, running with great lightness. The deer under Lin Xi suddenly cheered, and the deer kicked its hooves and followed the snow deer in front, and the deer in the twilight snow was not far behind, and followed. The three of them and three deer rushed through the streets of the ancient city, and soon left the Qingni Palace.

When they were gone, a figure stood in the shadows near the door of the temple, and after a few moments, it quietly disappeared.

As they approached the city gate, Lin Ci heard the sound of a trumpet, the same sound as the one sounded by the warriors of the city when they arrived yesterday. It seemed that this was supposed to welcome another Heavenly Witch who had come from afar, and in the blink of an eye, they had come to the city gate. The city gate had already risen, and the three of Lin Xi passed under the gate and stopped on the grassy slope in front of the gate.

Looking up, on the boundless grassland in the distance, a circle of human figures can be seen. Those were the warriors of the Wu Clan, and they seemed to surround someone. From near the city gate, the Witch called a warrior and asked what was the matter. The warrior did not dare to sit on the deer to answer the words of the witch spirit, so when he heard the sound, he quickly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord witch spirit, we have found a suspicious person. They hung behind Lord Wu Zhen and his party, and were discovered by our samurai. Now, we've got them under control......"

At the end of the words, a loud shout sounded on the other side of the grassland, and it could be seen that the faint wave of qi exploded, forcing the surrounding samurai out of the line.

Lin Ci frowned: "This doesn't look like it's under control." ”

The witch spirit didn't say anything, just patted the snow deer, and the graceful deer sprang out and headed for the grassland. Lin Ci and the two hurriedly followed, and when they got closer, Lin Ci suddenly saw a familiar figure.

It's Eugene.

He turned into a black giant, and was spinning around with his totem, forcing the deer-riding warriors who were supposed to be in front to retreat one after another. Look behind Eugene again, who else would they be if it weren't for Su Jinwei.

Lin Ci was surprised and delighted, and was surprised that if Su Jinwei and the Wu clan had an armed conflict, he was afraid that this field would not be round; Naturally, the two sides were separated for several days and finally met again today.

Lin Qi immediately shouted: "Eugene, stop, stay honest with me, don't do anything!" ”

Then he turned his head to the witch spirit with a puzzled expression, and said, "Let the samurai stop, misunderstanding, those people are my companions." ”

When he heard Lin Xi's voice, the first person who reacted was not Eugene, nor Su Jinwei, but Aoi. The big deer under the samurai seat were already screaming, and they all moved out of the way, making way for Wei Lan to pass through.

When Aoi came to Lin Xi's side.

"Okay, okay, it's not going to be okay." Lin Xi put her on the deer next to Dusk Xue, and came to Su Jinwei and the others through the passage that the samurai had made way.

Su Jinwei smiled and opened his hands to meet him, and hugged Lin Ci tightly.

"I knew you were okay." Su Jinwei slapped Lin Ci's back hard.

Lin Ci smiled: "I'm worried about you, Dad." What's going on? ”

Su Jinwei let go of him and said, "After being separated from you, our floating boat crashed. Later, he encountered some Kunlun remnants, who were hunted down by xenos. We helped them, but they didn't believe us. took advantage of the night to leave quietly, and put us together. ”

"After that, we followed their trails all the way, and when we got here, there was nothing to hide, but they found it." Su Jinwei looked at Twilight Snow and Wu Ling over there curiously, and said, "It's you, why are you mixed up with these people?" ”

"It's a long story, you wait, I'll explain the situation to them." Lin Ci let go of his adoptive father, turned around and walked back.

Over there, the witch spirit was talking to an old man in cloth, and the witch spirit also pointed at Lin Ci from time to time, Lin Ci walked over, and the witch spirit said: "This is one of the heavenly witches of our Wu clan, Wu Liu." ”

Lin Ci nodded and said, "This is a misunderstanding. ”

The old man named Wuliu looked directly at Lin Ci with his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I hope it's really just a misunderstanding." ”

And they returned to the city.

After Lin Ci explained the situation, Wu Liu had no intention of stopping Su Jinwei and his party. But obviously, he was different from Wu Ling, this old man didn't believe in Su Jinwei and other visitors from the outside world at all, including where Lin Ci was. Even if the witch spirit told him that the Holy Beast Enlightenment had already met Lin Xi.

In the end, although Wu Liu agreed to allow outsiders like Lin Xi to enter Tianshu City, he clearly stated that outsiders could only settle in the suburbs of the city, and they were no longer allowed to live in the Qingni Palace. Lin Ci has no opinion on the condition of Wu Liu, and Su Jinwei does not object, they can understand the distrust of the Wu clan. In fact, it was an accident that the Wu Clan agreed to let them enter the city.

Qingni Palace, the main hall.

"I don't believe them!" The old man named Wuliu, who was chased and killed by the black witch and rescued by the expedition, entered the temple and said, "If they were brought by Wu Yu, it is reasonable. But they found it on their own, with ill intentions. In my opinion, they should be allowed to leave immediately.

Besides, we are in a decisive battle with the Dark Witches, and if we leave them here, who knows what will happen! ”

The witch spirit who had already dismounted from the deer and walked barefoot into the temple said lightly: "I don't believe them either, but Wu Peng and I have already consulted the holy beast." The holy beast left two words, not an enemy. I think that should be enough. And they can help us fight the Dark Witch. ”

Wu Liu shook his head and said: "Even if the holy beast explicitly says it, you and I both know that because of the dragon god, the holy beast cannot make a move against the black witch, and the heavy responsibility of fighting the black witch will still fall on our heads." Even if they weren't enemies of our people, they wouldn't have any other ideas.

In fact, I have already tried to see that those outsiders are very interested in my witchcraft, and I see covetousness in their eyes. ”

Wu Ling said indifferently: "The witch weapon recognizes the master, in addition to the fact that the respective holders can use it, even if it falls into the hands of the clan, it is also a useless thing. Even if they really covet our witchcraft, what's the use.

Sending them away now will only make them resentful, and I am afraid that it will be even more detrimental to our people. ”

"This is the Heavenly Pivot City, and now the three of us are together again. If we activate the city organs, plus our three witch weapons, even if they are in trouble, what is there to fear! Wu Liu said loudly, "What's more, I took the risk to collect a batch of immortal fruits from the Langfeng Peak, and when necessary, let the dead soldiers of my clan take it, and then we can kill the enemy and win."

Witch spirit, are you willing to trust outsiders, but not our own people? ”

Wu Ling's two willow eyebrows were slightly knotted, and he said: "You really went to Langfeng Peak, not to mention that the immortal tree is guarded by Zhu Li, Wu Liu, you are forbidden to enter without permission. Earth, but take the dragon god's warning as a child's play! ”

Wu Liu probably reasoned for it, his voice was much softer, but he still defended: "If it was in the past, I wouldn't want to touch this taboo when I was killed, but now that it has come to the time of life and death of my clan, where can I take care of a lot."

The reason why the black witch is powerful is just to borrow from his mother-in-law. Even so, if the dead soldiers of our clan take the immortal fruit, they will also have great power, and it should not be difficult to stop the black witch. ”

"After taking the Immortal Fruit, you can maintain your sanity for a while. But none of us knows how short and long that period was. Once we neglect to observe and the dead man turns into a demon in the Void Temple, how will we deal with ourselves? The witch spirit asked rhetorically.

Wu Liu said in a deep voice: "The first batch of people who took the immortal fruit back then, the fastest to enter the demon, it will take at least seven days. So I plan to limit it to three days, and as soon as the time limit is up, the dead man will eat the Soul Breaking Pill and die on the spot! ”

The witch spirit silently closed his eyes and sighed, "I still don't think this is advisable. ”

Wu Liu snorted coldly: "When this time comes, if we still stick to the rules, where else can we go except to be exterminated?" ”

"Then abandon the old rules, and our people will be able to step out of a new world?" Wu Ling said lightly: "Forget it, I won't argue with you about the immortal fruit." But you must not send away those who are outside. I always felt that when they came to Kunlun at such a time, maybe it was the instruction of the dragon god. ”

After hearing this, Wu Liu's expression was a little depressed, and he said: "The dragon god has already left Kunlun for thousands of years, if he comes back, why don't he appear by himself, but instruct those outsiders?" ”

This is a question that even the witch spirit can't answer.

Wu Peng, who had been silent beside him, coughed lightly and said, "Both, I plan to restart the Qiankun Gate in the city and leave a way for my clan to retreat." If you don't have an opinion, I need two drops of essence blood. ”

Wu Liu's white eyebrows twitched, and then he said hoarsely: "Retreat? Wu Peng, where do you think we can retreat? Eight hundred years ago, we retreated from the witch capital to the south of the weak water, and the black witch still did not let us go, crossing the weak water to chase and kill us. Now, if the decisive battle of the Heavenly Pivot City is defeated, do you think this Kunlun still has a place for our clan to live? ”

Wu Peng, who is still young and has a handsome face, said: "If it weren't for this moment, my thoughts should be the same as yours." But Wu Peng, you have also seen that a passage has been opened between Kunlun and the outside world. I am not afraid of death, but do you really plan to let all of our people stay and be buried together? ”

"Restart the Qiankun Gate, once Tianshu City can't hold it. At the very least, we can get some of our people away. Kunlun doesn't have a place for them to live, but the outside world does. I really don't want our people to stay in Kunlun. We have followed the instructions of the dragon god for thousands of years......" Wu Peng said softly: "It's enough, let those young people live." ”

The hall was silent.

After a moment, the witch spirit sighed softly. Raising his hand, there was an extra jade dagger in his hand. She gently tipped her jade blade at her fingertips, squeezing out a drop of blood. In this drop of red blood, there is actually a golden light. Wu Peng hurriedly took out a jade bottle and carefully took the blood bead. After the blood beads left the witch spirit, they also dispersed, rolled into a ball and gradually solidified. When it fell into the bottle, it had turned into a round blood jade.

Wu Liu was silent, but he also stretched out his arm, took the jade blade handed by Wu Ling, and also picked out a drop of blood.

Wu Peng stored the two essence bloods, put the jade bottle into his arms, and said, "You guys rest first, and I'll go to Qiankun Gate immediately." ”

Wu Peng walked to the gate, and Wu Ling walked to the back of the hall. In the main hall, there was only a white-haired witch stream left, the old man looked up at the dragon wall behind the hall, looked at the divine dragon, the old man asked softly: "Dragon God, I do this, is it right or wrong?" ”

The dragon wall is silent, and the hall is silent.

Stepping on the stone steps a few feet wide, Lin Xi came to the city wall of Tianshu City.

On the city walls, at intervals, there is something resembling a defensive fort. These days, the defensive turrets of the Pivot City consist of a control pod and a cannon body, which looks like the body of an ancient chariot, and the cannon body, which resembles a giant, except that there is no bowstring or ejection device.

The two approached a turret, the control pod was semi-enclosed, and there were several stairs to climb outside. Lin Ci walked up and took a look, in this control cabin that had been cleaned, the panel used to control the turret looked a bit like the console of the floating boat at that time, and there were also two balls on it.

There are several pedals underneath, and as for how to use them, probably only the Wicans know.

"Kunlun is really not simple, this place is like another country."

After Lin Xi came down, Su Jinwei also went up to take a look, and couldn't help but sigh. On the city wall not far from them, a Wu warrior brought a box, opened the box, and it was full of neatly stacked red jade plates, only to see them lift out the energy harvesting plates under the fort, and then embed those red jade plaques on them, and then pushed them into the fort.

A samurai jumped into the control pod, and it wasn't long before some lines around the edge of the turret began to light up.

There are quite a few turrets like this that can be put into use at any time, but there are also some turrets that seem to be broken, and the samurai have been tinkering with them for a while and have no movement, so they can only be put aside for the time being.
