Volume 1 Gods and Demons in Troubled Times Chapter 41 Temptation.
On the charred black ground hundreds of miles away from Quchi, it can be seen that the unburned trees are still hanging with flames "crackling", and from time to time faint flames fall, but as far as the eye can see, there is no life.
An ancient tree not far from the crack had been burned to charcoal, and when the last branch with flames fell to the ground, a puff of black smoke rose from the top of the tree, and then the whole tree fell as if it had finally breathed, and smashed to the ground.
After a long time, the black embroidery has left from here, under the inconspicuous dark crack, there is a palm with gray-red hair quietly stretched out, slapped on the ground randomly, and was scalded back again, a moment later, I saw a pair of non-stop pointed ears from under the ground little by little, gradually rose a pair of slippery eyes, and then looked at the outside of the real eye, a fox head jumped out at once, it was the fox!
Standing at the bottom of the crack, Lihu's eyes flashed rapidly, and he looked out cautiously, but there was only a piece of scorched earth as far as the eye could see. After looking carefully from the fox left and right, after seeing nothing else, he suddenly felt a little lost, and when he lowered his head, he saw that his palms were white and black, and his hands patted vigorously, not only startled the scorched dust around him, but also the palms of his hands were all black.
Lihu, who was holding his breath in his heart, supported the still hot ground in front of him with both hands, jumped out from under the crack, and after standing still, Lihu saw the surroundings more clearly, but even if he stood on this charred black earth, he could only smell the burning breath by relying on his sensitive black nose. After a long time, Lihu sighed, extremely depressed.
However, a clump of weeds in the distance suddenly sounded, and the weeds turned into ashes, revealing the body of a young beast, and when he looked at the fox, his chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes were shining, and he hurried over.
When running away from the fox, Lu Xiao crawled out of the cave while coughing, his face was scorched black, even the hem of the robe on his body was burned off, and several pits fell all over his body.
The rope on Lu Xiao's body had been untied by the fox in the cave under the crack, although there was no restraint, but Lu Xiao couldn't help but feel a little sad when he stood on the ground again at this moment. But before Lu Xiao could be sad, Hei Xiu, who had returned to the mine, stood up from the table in his small courtyard suddenly, and Bai Mu on the side was so frightened that the tea bowl in his hand dropped, and Bai Mu complained: "What's wrong?"
Heixiu looked down at the two people in front of him, forced out a little smile, and replied, "It's okay, but I suddenly felt that something big was going to happen!"
Bai Mu was a little afraid, and said softly: "Don't scare me! Senior Sister Xiluo and I haven't recovered yet, if anything happens, the two of us may not be able to bear it!"
Xiluo lowered his head, and the tea bowl was held to his mouth for a long time, but it was not missing at all, remembering that Heixiu said that his uncle and younger brother had fallen, Xiluo's heart was like a "gurgle" all of a sudden, empty.
With a hint of panicked eyes, Hei Xiu turned from Xiluo's face, who had been silent, to Bai Mu's somewhat pale face, and said: "Otherwise, you and Senior Sister Xiluo will go back to Shuixuanzong first, and inform the master of the matter here, and see how the sect will deal with it!"
Bai Mu turned his head to look at Xiluo, Xiluo's eyes with slightly white lips blinked, and then he nodded, and the two of them immediately got up, each mastered the magic weapon, and returned to the Water Xuanzong.
The black embroidery left in the mine was a bowl of tea in front of him, and at this moment, his clear eyes briefly showed a trace of unbearability, but in an instant, he was occupied by a trace of surging evil fire, and then an extremely strong aura continued to emanate from his body. When Heixiu put down the tea bowl in his hand, with a wave of his big sleeves, the whole person was caught in the air and rushed straight towards Lu Xiao.
After Lu Xiao stood on the ground, he saw that the fox was holding a kitten in his arms, his fur had been burned to the ground, only a little orange and yellow behind the root of the ears, and a small face looked a little like a child, but a pair of fangs protruded from under his lips, not like a good stubble. Lu Xiao saw that the kitten seemed to have breath, but it was extremely weak, so he thought about seeing if he could save it.
Unexpectedly, when the fox saw Lu Xiao approaching, his expression was extremely nervous, and in his backhand, he held a spiritual gold dagger in his hand, the tip of which pointed directly at Lu Xiao.
Seeing this, Lu Xiao had to stop, his sea of qi had been sealed, and he was like a mortal at the moment, but seeing that the kitten's lips were slightly open, Lu Xiao, who stood still, took out a bag of water and threw it towards Lihu, and then he also took out a bag and drank it to quench his thirst.
The fox blinked and swallowed dryly, but his throat burned badly, so he had to pick up the water bag, then bite the plug and pull it out, and poured it into his mouth first, and then gave the young beast in his arms a little bit into his mouth.
As soon as the young beast came into contact with the water, it hurriedly raised its arms, and held the mouth of the water bag without letting go, until it was satisfied with the drink, and then fell into a deep sleep again.
A smile appeared on Lihu's face, but he didn't relax at all about Lu Xiao's movements, Lu Xiao just wanted to speak, but he was stared at by Lihu with a vicious childish appearance, and even the fangs under his lips were exposed, and he let out a low threatening sound.
Lu Xiao immediately gave up the idea of talking to this fox child, and turned around directly, looking at the scorched earth everywhere, and his heart was full of sorrow, and now he didn't know where he should go.
When Lu Xiao took a long breath and turned around, the fox had disappeared, leaving only a series of footprints on the scorched earth, which stretched into the distance.
Ghost domain, broken cliffs.
Under the dark night sky, the ghost mist on the edge of the cliff is thin, and the dark red thorny cedar grows everywhere, and the two beauties stand on the top of the cliff, through the dark mist, looking at it from a distance, the two figures are vague, like phantoms.
One of them, wearing a golden crown with a fishtail and a white crane silk robe, had a smile on his face, and was talking to a woman in a green shirt and a blurred face beside him.
"Sister Meng Po, how are you doing?" Princess Longji, who slowly leaned towards Meng Po's side, seemed to be in a good mood, and her sleeves fluttered with her swaying hands.
"Okay, of course, it's good, but it shouldn't be as good as Sister Longji!" Meng Po shook her head and looked at Princess Longji and smiled.
"How do you say this? My sister has always refused to let my sister see her face clearly, and my sister doesn't know what her sister's complexion is, and now that my sister is talking about it again, my sister is even more worried in her heart! If she is sick, she can go to Yaochi with me to recuperate!" Princess Longji showed a look of concern and confusion.
Meng Po took a step to the side and replied softly: "Sister Longji doesn't have to worry so much about me, this ghost realm is the worst place in the world, and naturally it is not as comfortable as the Yaochi Immortal Realm, so it must not be so good!
Princess Longji saw that she couldn't make a move, so she had to change her direction and ask, "Sister Meng Po, I wonder if the King of Hades now knows that the Emperor of Heaven is searching for the whereabouts of Chiyou Minghuo?"
Meng Po said lightly: "Naturally, I can guess!"
"Did Hades have a backhand in advance?"
Meng Po didn't answer, as if she didn't know anything.
Princess Longji hurriedly picked up again: "For example, today the emperor is sending many roving gods to inspect the Quartet, and the heavenly road has been blocked, in order to force this person with Chiyou life fire out on the ground, if the king of Hades does not come to the rescue at that time, and is succeeded by the emperor, in the end, I am afraid that the underworld will be suppressed by the emperor again because of dereliction of duty, maybe the upper and lower will have to be replaced!"
Meng Po frowned slightly, didn't answer immediately, and asked after a while: "I don't know what the Queen Mother has in mind?"
Princess Longji clapped her hands and said: "My sister is really smart, yes, the Queen Mother is inconvenient to make a move, so I want to ask the ghost domain to help, cover the heavenly opportunity of Chi You's life, so that the Emperor of Heaven has nowhere to be found, and then we can also let the Emperor of Heaven taste the taste of deflated." ”
Meng Po remained silent and asked again: "Other than that, there is nothing else?"
Princess Longji looked up and thought about it, and replied, "The mother confessed... It seems to be gone, but we sisters can talk more about it! Sister, can you tell me again, is there any interesting thing about the underworld?"
Meng Po immediately waved her hand and said quickly: "Sister, in this case, I'm afraid I can't stay longer, you know, my tea stall is still unattended, it's also a very important matter, if I mistake the ghost reincarnation, I will damage the merits of the Heavenly Dao! I'll go back first!Don't worry, I'll tell the King of Hades all that the Queen Mother said truthfully!" Meng Po finished speaking, and before Princess Longji could speak, a green smoke rose from her feet, and the whole person disappeared directly.
"Hey。。。。 Sister. Sister... Before Princess Longji could say more, she watched Meng Po turn into a cloud of green smoke, and couldn't help but stomp her feet, and kept cursing on this broken cliff.
On the way back, Meng Po recalled what Princess Longji said just now, sneered, and thought that it was really a superfluous move, the underworld had already covered up all the heavenly opportunities after Lu Cong's birth, or Meng Po herself was not at ease, and out of selfishness, she invited the King Bodhisattva of the Earth to take action in person, and shrouded its heavenly path with the black lotus overturning technique.
For Princess Longji's visit to explore the mouth of the underworld, Meng Po shook her head, for thousands of years, Princess Longji has not changed, on the surface she seems to be extremely shrewd, but in fact, she is extremely naïve inside, just like this time it is just a favor for the underworld to get Yaochi in vain, and she didn't catch anything, but it seems that she has eaten by herself, and she ran to Difu Bai for no reason. Originally, Meng Po didn't like Princess Longji very much, shrewd and stupid, every time she came, she always wanted to put some words from her, like a leper dog, she didn't dig out something she didn't know and never left, it was extremely difficult, so every time Meng Po pretended to leak her mouth, and inadvertently revealed something that she didn't have, the truth and falsehood were mixed, and she shook Princess Longji, so that she looked happy every time she went back.
simply, I didn't say anything today, and I also sent this pestering spirit away, saving a lot of trouble.
