Chapter 152: Bonfire Extravaganza
The incense soil in the bronze statue of the Ape Red Demon was finally burned, but the fragrance in the inner sanctum was still permeating. The door slammed open, and the people in the Chorus and Intelligence Group outside were still fighting against the skeleton soldiers a second ago, but at this second, the skeleton soldiers suddenly stopped, and their white bones suddenly fell apart, falling to the ground with the bronze armor that was originally on the white bones, making a clanging sound.
The demonic nature in Ouyang Xiaoleng's body gradually receded, the red scales on his face and arms basically disappeared, and his pupils turned back to their original gray-blue, but he still hugged Xia Qiu horizontally and refused to let go. After a battle with the Ape Red Devil and the loss of too much blood, she was quite weak at the moment, and if it weren't for the fact that her face was too pale after being anemia, she thought that her cheeks would be crimson because of shyness.
"It's over!" Mochizuki said, turning his stiff neck.
The bones in his neck seemed to be misaligned when he was thrown out by the ape red demon just now, and he held back the pain and waited for a click, and then moved the rest of his body again, and found that there were still a few injuries. After covering Ouyang Xiaoleng and their escape from Fire City last time, the old injuries left by the fight with the Yaksha gang and this time, he felt that he would have to recuperate for a while when he returned to the royal city this time before he could fully recover. Of course, fine wine is also indispensable, and he remembered that there were many kinds of wine in Ouyang Yong's wine cellar that he wanted to taste. There is also a snow rabbit, I must accompany her well when I go back this time.
"Hey, you can put Xia Qiu down, right?" Qianqi shouted at Ouyang Xiaoleng.
"That's right, obviously I have regained my will, and I am still messing around with demonic nature!" Ling Yu was also on the side to help.
Ouyang Xiaoliang ignored them and walked straight towards the outside of the Futu Palace, leaving the people behind him sighing.
"If you don't come out again, I'm afraid we won't be able to stand it. Those skeleton soldiers are popping up endlessly, and they can't be killed at all! The chorus said with a long sigh of relief.
Even he didn't expect them to hold out until the last moment, and his heart was full of gratitude when he looked at the demon spirit warriors behind him who were supporting each other because of their injuries. Although they were younger than themselves, they were all older people, and the high-intensity battle like the one just now was completely supported by willpower.
There are also those people in the intelligence group, although they met in Pingshui, they also formed a deep friendship because of the cooperation just now. Now that he has finally completed the task for his son, and he has also repaid part of the kindness of Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng, there is an indescribable ease in his body and mind.
Outside the gate, the hinge supported by Lao Mi led many people of the Demon Spirit Clan to look forward to it, and when they saw them come out, they all looked at each other and smiled, and then waved at them vigorously.
Knowing that they had defeated the undead of the Ape Red Demon and put an end to the Demon Hide, the Demon Spirit Clan in the entire Qingyang City was boiling. For them, the one who can defeat the Ape Red Demon is the strongest warrior in the world so far, and according to their beliefs, the mighty warrior will be respected by all the people like a god, and will be treated with the highest courtesy.
The children of Harmony are finally freed from their never-ending nightmares, and soon after the Ape Red Devil's life gate is broken, they sit up from their beds and call for their mother. The bell was originally in the kitchen of the outhouse, and at first I heard the voices of the children in the back room and thought that I was hallucinating, but then I thought about how it could be a hallucination when I called so hard. She rushed into the house and saw the children all sitting on the beds, blinking at her.
When her son Xiaoshi saw her come in, he was the first to say, "Mother, I'm hungry!" ”
Daughter Doudou also shouted: "Me too, me too!" ”
"Okay, mother, I'll make you something to eat!" The bell responded with tears of joy.
Although Little Stone and Doudou had just recovered from the ghost, they looked like healthy children, except that they were a little thinner, and their eyes were innocent, intelligent and naughty. The bell took them all in his arms, and wanted to tell the good news to Hinga and Xia and Autumn as soon as possible.
How should she and Hingye be grateful to Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng? A hundred years ago, they saved themselves and Hingo's lives, and a hundred years later, they kept their promise to save their children. Just when she was still holding the child and crying, Hingye came back from outside, and Lao Mi beside her was still carrying a child of the Demon Spirit Clan, the child was a raw face, it should not have been living in Qingyang City for a long time, it looked thin and small, and it was also very weak.
"This is Kui, the son of the Red-Eared Demon Spirit, and he will live with us in the future!" Hinge said to his wife very calmly, leaving no room for negotiation at all.
"What?! You kill ......," the bell was about to continue, but remembering that he should not mention it in front of Kui, he pulled the chorus outside the room and said, "You killed his father, although his father is a great sin, he will definitely hold a grudge." ”
"I know that if he grows up one day and wants to avenge his father, he should take my life. Although his father, the Red Ear Demon Spirit, is heinous, but this child is innocent. Besides, his father entrusted him to me on his deathbed, and I also promised to take care of him for Kui if he survived. ”
Bell actually still had a lot of concerns in her heart, but she remembered that Xia Qiu and the Demon King Fox Boy had promised to save their child, so they really kept their promise, and they could understand why her husband was so insistent, so she sighed and nodded in response: "Okay then!" ”
"I knew you were a man of righteousness! Marrying you is really the right choice I have made! Seeing that his wife finally agreed with his idea, Heyed said happily.
His words sounded quite sweet at first glance, but Bell quickly reacted after thinking about it, so he pretended to be angry and shouted, "Apart from me, there are no other girls of your age in the Demon Spirit Clan?!" ”
Then he went back to the house, let his children get out of bed, spread out new bedding, and asked Lao Mi to put Kui down. Qui's condition is obviously much more serious than her two children, and consciousness has not yet recovered. While cooking for the children, she used several herbs to mix with the elixir that boiled to nourish the body, and looked at the busy figure of the kind wife, which moved the hinge very much.
The Demon Spirit Clan decided to hold a bonfire on the high platform with a railing on the sixth floor, firstly to celebrate their liberation from the shadow of the ape red demons, secondly, to thank the great heroes who had liberated them, and thirdly, they had already discussed the election of one of the sons of Heyin and Heye to become the new patriarch.
It had been a long time since there had been such a cheerful moment in the entire Qingyang, and the Qingyang City, which had been shrouded in the shadow of ghosts for hundreds of years, suddenly changed to a different scene. After the men put away their weapons, they all turned the lute that had not been played for a long time out of the bottom of the box and readjusted it. The aging in the palace was also moved, and the women of the city worked together to make delicious dishes, and Xia Qiu also helped with them. She hadn't had such an easy time in a long time, and the little stones and beans of the Hinge family were all around her.
I don't know why, they seem to know that they were rescued by Xia Qiu, and after waking up, they were particularly sticky to her from the first time they saw her, to the extent that they couldn't leave an inch.
"It's exactly like their daddy!" Bell smiled and shook her head and sighed.
She was happier than anyone else that the child was able to recover so quickly. However, the condition of the family is still not very good, and it may take a considerable period of time to recover. After feeding the elixir and some rice soup, his complexion improved a little, and he was awake for a while.
Strange to say, the first time he saw the bell called her mother, at first the bell and Hingye thought it might be because he had been in a coma for too long, and suddenly woke up and his mind didn't quite understand. But soon they discover that his memories of the past are gone.
Although he can still say some simple words, he behaves and looks like a baby, and the chorus can't help but sigh that this may be a kind of happiness for Kui, and that forgetting the past can start a better future. And he will form a new family with him, Bell, Little Rock and Doudou and live happily.
Everything is ready on the high platform, and the spring night is still a little chilly, but the warm campfire becomes a warm world here. All the seats were placed around this bonfire layer by layer, and a circle of open space was set aside under the bonfire for performances, Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng sat down one after another, and then the clansmen of the Demon Spirit Clan sat down one after another.
In the beginning, it was a group of pipa performances. Even in the human world, Xia Qiu had never heard such a complex melody, and the Demon Spirit Clan seemed to be able to give simple strings magic, making them unpredictable in their hands, playing whimsical emotions, making the listener think about it, and she was also amazed.
Mochizuki was completely indulged in wine, and he had long forgotten the pain all over his body. Qianqi was still sullen because of Ouyang Xiaoleng's crazy actions before, drinking alone and drinking alone, while Lingyu was by Mochizuki's side.
After the pipa performance, Xia Qiu was pulled up by the bell, and she danced around the bonfire with the women and children of the Demon Spirit Clan, imitating their dance steps, and couldn't help but leave all the weakness and exhaustion in her body behind. Xiao Shi and Doudou also danced beside her, looking very cute, and the bell put the garland she had woven with her two children on Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng's heads.
The others also presented garlands to the Harmony, Hinge, Mochizuki, and even the Demon Spirit warriors under the Intelligence Group and the Hinge. In the midst of laughter and laughter, the bonfire party also entered the most important part, which was the selection of the trusted patriarch.
As soon as he heard that everyone had elected one of them and his father to be the patriarch, Hinge felt awkward, and he didn't know how to say no for a while.
"The bronze statue of the Ape Red Demon has been destroyed, and his dead spirit has been burned out with the incense soil, so the Demon Spirit Clan will no longer be threatened by the Demon Hide, and you can live peacefully in Qingyang. I also think that in terms of ability and age, Hingye is the most suitable candidate to serve as the patriarch of the Demon Spirit Clan, and Heyin should have no opinion, right? Although Hingye tried his best to shirk it, Ouyang Xiaoliang, who was a demon king fox, got up from his seat at this time and spoke.
After listening to this, the chorus stood up and responded, "Of course! I'm already old, let me lead everyone to revive the Demon Spirit Clan, although I have more than enough heart but not enough strength! My son is different, he is still young, as long as everyone trusts him, he will live up to expectations! ”
The rest of the Demon Spirit Clan also rushed towards Hingo, and they all looked at him hopefully with what they held in their hands, and Hingye had to nod his head when he saw it.
The bonfire festival continued, and the teenagers were all pulled up, including Ouyang Xiaoleng, although his movements and expressions were very stiff, he had to dance and sing with the enthusiastic Demon Spirit Clan until he was exhausted.
