Tong Jun and the others rushed all the way to the northwest, although there was no official chase, but the two still had to race against time to find the Yushi clan. Luckily, I found the clue of the Imperial Stone Clan at noon the next day.

Under a cliff, there is a vast meadow, an endless meadow, with waves of grass surging with the breeze blowing.

The large meadows are clearly distinguished from the surrounding jungle, empty of no other trees, only waist-high weeds. In the middle of the meadow, three large willow trees two feet thick grew like horns on each other. The willow branches of the giant trees are swaying, and the vines are hanging to the ground. The willow branches dance and sway in the wind, and the vines hang down and peck lightly with the grass. Each willow tree is separated by three feet, and it stands out in the meadow that looks like water.

"It must be here!" said Bai Xin firmly.

Bai Xin and Tong Jun hurriedly descended from the cliff to the grassland, but there were weeds here except for three willow trees, not to mention a clan, not even a single figure.

The two of them searched the area around the willow tree for several miles, but still found no sign of any human habitation. Bai Xin flew into the air, looking down on the entire grassland, still empty.

"Strange! Look at the growth of this willow tree, there must be someone, why is there nothing around?" Bai Xin fell beside Tong Jun.

"Could it be that the location of the secret letter is written incorrectly?"

"It's impossible, how could something go wrong with such a big thing, we must have missed something. Since it is a race, there will definitely be people coming in and out, so let's keep watch near these three willow trees first, and maybe we can meet someone. ”

"That's all there is to it for now. Tong Jun said helplessly.

The two of them simply rested in the tree, waiting for someone to appear.

After several officers and soldiers retrieved the secret letter from the young man, they ran wildly, and finally saw the seven sacrifices resting in the mountain stream at noon the next day.

The seven sacrifices are not complete, and there are only six of them at the moment. They sat around a shallow lake and rested quietly.

One of the six wore a black cloak, and the rest all wore long gray cloaks, and the back of the cloak was embroidered with a large array of six-pointed stars with thin threads, and the priests were so tightly wrapped that their faces could not be seen at all.

The sound of horses' hooves in the distance made them stand up vigilantly. I saw a group of people and horses coming out of the woods next to the shallow lake, and the black-robed priest asked sharply, "What kind of person!"

The captain of the leader hurriedly led his subordinates to fall off their horses, knelt down and reported to the priest: "The Southern Protector Messenger sees the Seven Sacrifices!"

"Oh, the one who protects the Dharma of the South. The black-robed priest relaxed his guard and asked, "What is the matter with the Southern Protector looking for us?"

The captain took out the paper tube from his arms, presented it with both hands, and said, "The Southern Protector has a secret mission that needs to be bothered by the Seven Sacrifices. Consult the high priest. ”

It turned out that the black-robed leader was the high priest, and he took the paper tube from the official's hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "It is indeed a letter from the Southern Protector." Suddenly, his eyes swept sharply, as if a sharp dagger was looking at the kneeling official, and said in a deep voice: "However, this letter has been opened ........"

Although the captain did not raise his head, he still felt the surging murderous aura of the high priest, and quickly bowed his head and pleaded guilty: "Please forgive the high priest." The little ones didn't dare to open the secret letter of the Southern Protector without authorization. It's just that someone accidentally snatched the letter away on the way, and I waited desperately to snatch the secret letter back. ”

"Who?"

"Tell the high priest, the little ones don't know. The captain's back was already soaked, and he said in a trembling voice: "The little ones dare not deceive the high priest, and ask the high priest to spare the little ones." ”

The high priest did not speak, slowly opened the paper tube, and after carefully reading the secret letter inside, he threw it to several other people behind him, staring at the few officials lying on the ground. said: "That's it, forgive you for not having the courage to peek without permission." The one who snatched the secret letter ......."

"It's two little kids. The captain's voice had begun to become erratic, and he explained to the high priest the details of the process of the two Bai Xin's seizure of the secret letter.

"Get up, for your sake, I will not hold you accountable. The High Priest waved his hand. "As for whether the Southern Protector will forgive you, it depends on your creation. ”

"Thank you, High Priest!"

"You go back and tell the Southern Protector that Kui Niu is not in the base mountain. The High Priest said.

"Yes!" replied the captain, "if the high priest has nothing else to do, the little ones will step back first." ”

"Let's go. The high priest said lightly.

When the horse team was far away, the high priest said to the gray-robed men behind him, "Fourth, you hurry back to the altar and bring the seventh." We need him. ”

One of the gray-robed priests bowed down and said, "Yes." With both hands, he drew a large array on the ground, and disappeared in an instant.

Bai Xin and Tong Jun waited on the willow tree until it was dark and dawn, and there was still nothing around except the sound of wind blowing grass.

Tong Jun asked anxiously, "What now?"

Bai Xin said helplessly: "What else can I do, I can only continue to wait, there must be nothing wrong with the land of Sanliu being here." It's a big deal that we'll wait until the Seven Sacrifices show up and see what tricks they'll do when they come. ”

Because the dry food they had snatched from the official was still abundant, they stayed here for two more days, but they still didn't see anything special.

It wasn't until the morning of the third day that a little girl appeared under the tree, threw a few rocks at the two sleeping men on the tree, and shouted, "Hey, what are you two doing?"

Bai Xin was in pain, and wanted to look under the tree, there was a little girl standing at the bottom of the tree, she was wearing a black and purple top, a blue square cloth tied around her waist, a short black skirt, and a pair of black cloth boots. The little girl, with her shoulder-length short haircut, was looking up at the two of them in the tree, and spoke in a tone like a tomboy: "Hey!

Bai Xin jumped to the ground, saluted the little girl and said, "Hello, is the girl a person who lives around?"

The little girl had a proud expression on her face and said, "You I asked you first, you haven't answered my question yet! Who are you?"

Bai Xin saw that the little girl spoke in a tough tone, so she had to say helplessly: "My name is Bai Xin, and his name is Tong Jun." Then he pointed to the monkey on his shoulder and said, "Its name is Qinglong." ”

The little girl looked at him cautiously and asked, "You have been here for several days, what are you doing?"

Bai Xin smiled and said, "I have answered you a question, and you should also answer me a question." ”

"What's the problem?"

"Does my sister know where the Imperial Stone Clan is?"

The little girl suddenly looked at Bai Xin more carefully and said, "What are you looking for the Royal Stone Clan!"

Bai Xin was speechless for a while, thinking that this girl was really domineering, and said, "Of course there is something important. ”

"I've been secretly observing you two for a long time, you two are sneaking around here, tell me anything directly!"

"You're from the Imperial Stone Clan?"

"Are you in charge, tell me something important?"

"This matter is very important, we can't just say it, if you can take us to meet the patriarch of the Royal Stone Clan, we can consider telling you!"

"What's the matter with seeing the elders?"

"There's something big!"

"What's the big deal?"

"Take us to the patriarch first. ”

"Tell me something big first!"

The two of you say a word, I say a word, they can't argue, they don't give in to each other, and they almost want to start.

Seeing this, Tong Jun hurriedly jumped down from the tree and said politely to the little girl: "Don't be angry, girl, we really have something urgent to report to the patriarch!"

The little girl said with a disdainful face: "The patriarch is very busy, and he doesn't have time to see you two little ghosts." Besides, not everyone can enter my clan's secret land, you tell me something first, and then I will consider reporting to the patriarch to see if the patriarch is in the mood to summon you both. ”

Bai Xin "cut~", and was about to reason with the girl, but was stopped by Tong Jun. Tong Jun patiently said to the little girl: "A few days ago, the two of us came out of Jishan, and we were hungry because we had no food for a few days..."

"Oh, I see, you two are here to beg!" the little girl interjected.

Bai Xin couldn't bear it, and shouted loudly: "Can you stop interjecting, we haven't finished talking yet!"

"Okay, okay, you go on. The little girl stretched out her hand to Tong Jun and motioned for him to continue.

"A few days ago, we were so hungry that we happened to see a group of officers on errands, so we tried to ask for some food, but we refused. It's just that the two of us were so hungry that we had to take the opportunity to steal the burden of the official and find some food to eat. ”

"And then?" asked the little girl, wide-eyed.

"After we had eaten, we found a secret letter in the official's package. Out of curiosity, we opened it and read it, and the content of the letter was to inform the Seven High Priests to come and destroy your Imperial Stone Clan on the third day of the seventh month. ”

The little girl was skeptical: "Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Bai Xin said.

"Our clan didn't provoke the Seven Sacrifices, why did they come to destroy our clan!"

"It was the Southern Protector who informed the Seven Priests to come and rob your clan's moon stone. ”

The little girl stretched out her hand and asked, "What about the letter?" ”

"We were going to bring the letterhead to you, but the official was so bad that he snatched the letter back in the middle. "Hahahahaha" The little girl smiled heartily, not looking like a girl at all, "What~ It turns out that you don't have anything, so why should I believe you!"

Bai Xin stopped the laughing girl and said solemnly: "Believe it or not, quickly take us to meet your patriarch, we will talk to him face to face." ”

"Come on!" said the little girl, disdainfully, "I see, you two are playing a prank, and I will not be fooled." The patriarch has a great temper, and when the patriarch gets angry, I will punish him together, and I can't stand it. You two hurry up, don't force me to use force!"

"You little sister, you seem to be very smart, why are you so stupid!" Bai Xin deliberately looked disdainful.

"What do you say! Say it again!" the little girl was obviously annoyed by Bai Xin's sarcasm, and rushed over with Bai Xin.
