Huqin City at night is very huge, this is a giant beast of perseverance in the territory of the Nine Kingdoms, the giant beast is dormant in the north, immobile like a mountain. For thousands of years, no one dared to shake this giant beast, so under the nourishment of perennial and lasting peace, the giant beast grew slowly, and accumulated over time to this day, it is already a behemoth with the sky above its head and feet on the ground.

After the six Black Moon Guards sent Jiuhan and the others to Shaohong's hands, they disappeared into the darkness on their own, quietly following them like shadows without revealing any trace. Although they were not seen after the six great men disappeared, one thing that Nine and a Half knew deeply was that in fact, in addition to these six people, there were six Black Moon Guards faintly following around, guarding everyone's safety.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, Shaohong's vigilance and caution can be said to be very meticulous. Although she was already an almost top cultivator on this continent, she had no idea of slacking off. After all, a cultivator is still a cultivator, and a truly top-notch assassin will definitely burst out with terrifying strength when he carries out an assassination, and that situation must be a threat to Shaohong's life. For more than ten years, the Chinese lord of the country of the imprisoned ox has maintained a state of retreat and spiritual cultivation, so in fact, Shaohong is almost the master of this country. Fortunately, the lord of the country has no heirs, otherwise I am afraid that it will be like a matter of competing for favor, and the court will be chaotic for a few years.

The night was not yet deep, and Huqin City was still a little bustling and brightly lit, but Shaohong did not bring Jiuban and the others to Huqin City, but she led them towards the north of Huqin City. Along the way, although the group of four people is considered a lot, the pedestrians on the road walked as usual as if they did not see them. It stands to reason that a character of Shaohong's level should be known to almost everyone in the entire country of the Prisoner Ox, how can no one recognize them? Could it be that Shaohong is really invisible at this moment?

Feeling the doubts of Jiuhan, in fact, Bayu also had doubts at this time, but all of this was felt by Shaohong. Shaohong led the way in front, although he didn't look back, but his voice came clearly: "We walked on the road and no one found it, you must be strange, right?"

"It's not strange, it's not strange, presumably Master Shaohong used some spells for the convenience of his movements, right?" Hearing Shaohong speak, Jiu Ban hurriedly continued.

"Yes, it is. It's not that I don't want the people of Huqin City to know the whereabouts of you and me, but every time I am recognized on the road, it will always cause some unnecessary trouble, so I can only do this, and I hope you can understand. At this time, everyone had already begun to climb the mountain, and Huqin City was behind them, but it was getting farther and farther away.

This time Jiuhan didn't answer, just took Bayu's hand and tried to climb the mountain, trying to keep up with Shaohong in front. I don't know for what reason, at this time, Shaohong's speed of climbing the mountain is getting faster and faster, it seems to be intentional. Wu Liangzi on the side was a little unsure, so he could only try to keep up with Shaohong's speed in front of him. Shaohong's feet were getting faster and faster, although Jiu Ban wanted to ask Wu Liangzi what Shaohong's intentions were, but when he turned his head to look at Wu Liangzi's somewhat panting face, he didn't speak again.

At this time, he took Bayu's hand and climbed the mountain quickly, and even he himself was a little overwhelmed.

The lights of the thousands of homes behind him gradually faded away, and above his head, the part of the mountain top slowly appeared. The light was not bright, but yellowish, and had a warm feeling, but it was very faint, like a candle lit by a mountain house at night.

Before, the nine and a half were a little unclear, but it was only now that the idea was gradually confirmed. It stands to reason that even if he is unbearable, in Shaohong's eyes, he should also be the prince of the country of negative people. In other words, even if they come to visit as a saint in the same realm, the hospitality of the people of Huqin City should not be to greet them without opening the door, but to treat the guests to the barren mountains in the wilderness, what kind of hospitality is this?

In front of him, just after the light appeared, Shaohong suddenly accelerated, and disappeared in front of him with a dodge. Jiuhan, who was following behind, saw Shaohong's movements, and hurriedly pulled Wu Liangzi, who was already a little physically exhausted, and then quickly ran forward. A huge rock appeared in front of him, and after Jiuhan took Wu Liangzi and eight feathers to jump over the rock, he fell directly onto a small platform. After standing still, I looked forward, and not far away, two candles stood in the dragon head carved into the mountain rock. Next to each of the two dragon heads stood a mighty soldier who was a punch taller than the Black Moon Guard, guarding the candle flame. In the center of the dragon's head is a huge, heavy stone gate sealed from top to bottom, and the candle flame outside the door seems to be an immortal candle, and no one knows what the identity of the guard guarding the candle flame is.

Shaohong turned his back to everyone, facing forward and quietly looked at the stone gate, without saying a word.

Jiu Ban looked at Shaohong not far away from him and the heavy stone gate even farther away, and his heart was a little turbulent. The stone gate in front of him was extremely heavy, but it seemed that there was an unusual aura coming from it. From the outside, the stone gate seemed to be a little appalling in size and thickness, but the aura fluctuations coming from inside seemed to Jiuhan to be at least in the holy realm. Through such a thick stone gate, it can exude such a powerful aura, I don't know what kind of realm the characters in it have reached?

He didn't speak, but Ba Yu on the side secretly tugged at his sleeve, and then covered his mouth and nose with his hand and whispered to Jiu Ban: "Jiu Ban, have you found out, there is something wrong with the stone gate." ”

"What is wrong, you mean ......"

Eight Feathers looked a little nervous, after all, Shaohong was standing like that not far from them. Although he didn't look back, the Shaohong mage of the country of the imprisoned cow was also considered to be one of the most famous powerhouses on the mainland, and every time he thought about it like this, Bayu felt a little uneasy in his heart, probably because of the timidity of the lower to the superior. The little girl's voice trembled a little, and she said, "I always feel ...... There's a big thing in there. I can't feel what it is, I can't describe it, but it seems to have an imperial aura...... It's either a monster or a powerhouse that might be stronger than nine-and-a-half. ”

It may not sound like much, but it's a little creepy to taste it in detail. Imperial qi is a very rare thing in this world, and almost only the royal families of various countries will inherit this qi. And to a certain extent, this kind of qi is also called luck, which cannot be plundered. But the strange thing is that Nine Half didn't have this kind of luck, maybe it has something to do with his true identity. As the saying goes, the dragon power is the greatest in the water line, and the elephant power is respected in the land line, but the emperor's energy is an existence that can almost suppress the power of the dragon elephant, giving people a natural sense of oppression.

This is probably the problem, although Jiu Ban has almost guessed the identity of the person in the stone gate, he still remains silent and does not say it. At this time, Shaohong turned around suddenly, bowed slightly to Jiu Ban and his party, and then said, "Jiu Ban, this is the cultivation place of the Lord of the Imprisoned Ox. The lord of the country has been in retreat for more than ten years, and I hope to forgive me if I can't go out to meet him. ”

Sure enough, this is the retreat of the Lord of the Bull Prisoners, exactly the same as the speculation of the Nine Halfs. Hearing Shaohong's words, it was not only Jiu Ban, but Wu Liangzi and Ba Yu beside him also hurriedly stepped forward to salute as a sign of respect. After the salute, Shaohong didn't say anything, just a few words of greeting and left with Jiuban and the others. The Imprisoned Cow Country Lord who was in retreat from beginning to end didn't say a word, but when Jiu Ban and the others arrived, there was a slight fluctuation of breath, and then there was no more sound.

Seeing the end, Shaohong cast a spell and directly brought several people back to their residence in Huqin City. The place where Shaohong lives is extremely spacious and huge, and it is an eight-entry courtyard. Although the courtyard is wide, in fact, the decoration is extremely simple and simple, it seems that this woman who can manipulate the fortunes of a country and control the fate of a country does not love vanity.

After pushing open the door of the house and entering the courtyard, to the surprise of Jiuhan, only an old servant greeted him. The old servant's face was full of ravines and wrinkles, as if he was already extremely old. He bent over to meet him, and although there were two or three people around him who were cleaning the courtyard in the middle of the night, there was hardly any emotion on everyone's faces, as if everyone was just doing their part.

"Take the two guests to the west guest room to settle down and rest, you must take care of Mr. Nine and a Half and Miss Eight Feathers, what do you need to come to me directly, understand?" Shaohong said to the old servant, the old servant did not reply but saluted slightly, and then stretched out his hand and led Nine Half and Eight Feathers away. When the two of them left, they looked back, but saw Wu Liangzi standing there alone, while Shaohong was looking up at the sky, as if he was observing the stars, and there seemed to be an awkward silence between the master and apprentice.

The hospitality on Shaohong's Mansion is exceptionally complete. Despite the size of the yard, it is still somewhat empty in reality. There were five rooms in this huge courtyard, but there were only two people, Jiuhan and Bayu, who lived in the opposite door. After taking a hot bath, while the night was not too strong, Nine and a Half went out to the courtyard to cool off. The night sky is magical, there is no moonlight tonight, but the sky is full of stars, and the stars seem to be a huge game of chess, which contains thousands of changes, which makes people suddenly. Nine and a half were a little sudden, and the starry sky in his eyes was a little different. With the naked eye, in the eyes of the Saint Realm master, the arrangement of the stars and the frequency of the flash seemed to have a different kind of rule. I have long heard that there is a doctrine of "astrology" in this world, and in fact, in the era in which Lin Ze lived, there was also a saying that people were prophesied through astrology, but neither Lin Ze nor Jiuhan cared about it.

But today, the starry sky seems to be a little different. Nine and a half blinked, and suddenly a cold sweat ran down his back. In the blink of an eye, the astrolabe, which seemed to be formed by the entire starry sky, trembled violently, as if it was pressing towards the ground. The primordial birth of Pangu, Pangu is clear and turbid. The clear air goes up to the sky, and the turbid gas goes down and stands on the ground, is it possible that this clear and turbid air will be merged into one?

"Dharma Eye, open!" With a soft click, the eye in the center of Nine Halves' forehead cracked open again, looking towards the starry sky. In fact, Jiuhan himself didn't know when the magic eye was opened, it seemed that this spell had existed since he became holy, but he had not touched the edge of control before. Looking up at Xingyu, the entire night sky suddenly came alive. It turns out that each star is connected to each other, and the invisible energy bands connect one big star after another, and those stars are connected to each other in the night sky, as if they are a spider's web. Looking at it, Nine and a Half gradually sank into it, a little unable to extricate himself.

Suddenly, for a moment, his eyes widened, as if he had seen something terrible. In his eyes, a large fiery red star above the starry sky slammed across the starry sky and fell towards his south. The great star, which was almost three times the size of the other stars, was almost terrifying and unimaginable as if it were the setting of a sun in his eyes.

"Brother Nine-and-a-half, what are you looking at?" Just as Nine-and-a-half was staring at the big star that crossed the night sky, I don't know when Eight Feathers actually walked up to him and spoke. The sudden appearance of Hachiyu's voice seemed to be as sudden as a ghost, and he was startled. Nine and a half turned her head to look at Hachiyu, and found that she was also staring at the night sky, but her eyes wandered, as if she didn't see anything. Seeing this scene, it was a little strange, so he said:

"What? that thing...... You didn't see that?"

"What, there's nothing in the sky but stars?"

"That's the one!" Nine Halves hurriedly pointed to the big star that was falling towards the south, "Just that red star, the one that is moving and almost three times larger than the other stars, so obviously you don't see it?"

The response to this voice full of anxiety and even curiosity was just a face that was confused and overwhelmed. "I didn't ...... No, isn't that just the stars?"

So then, Nine and a Half watched as the big star slowly fell, and it happened to fall in the west, the location of the country of mocking winds. The Prisoner Ox is located in the northwest of the territory of the Nine Kingdoms, and if it follows a straight line to the south, then it will coincidentally enter the territory of the Mocking Wind. The big red star fell on the southern mocking wind, as if something was about to happen.

"It's going to change...... Is it going to change the sky......" Jiuhan muttered to himself, his heart full of worry. The big red star, across the night sky, fell in the south, which is a relatively terrifying thing. It's just that Jiuhan doesn't know the art of astrology, doesn't know what is about to happen, and doesn't know whether it means good or bad. Red stars, black night sky....... Isn't that a good thing, is it?

Seeing the sorrow on Jiuhan's face, Bayu's mood was not much better. In fact, from the moment he entered Huqin City, Ba Yu's heart was uneasy. Many things are not as they appear to be, such as Shaohong Guoshi's actions, which are very abnormal. Although he took them to meet the Prisoner Cow Country Lord first, in fact, not to mention whether the Prisoner Cow Country Lord was the real person, the matter of entering Huqin City was not very formal in Bayu's opinion, and it was even a petty theft. Shaohong didn't seem to want anyone to know that they had entered Huqin City.

Thinking of this, Bayu's face was even more melancholy. The frowns wrinkled together distorted her delicate facial features, and at this time, Jiu Ban also saw the appearance of Ba Yu, so he hurriedly stepped forward and stretched his eyebrows twisted together with both hands, and said while touching: "Ba Yu, you are so small, why are you so troubled?"

"I'm not small, okay?" Hachiha retorted, "But there are a lot of things that are not right today. ”

"You mean, Master Shaohong?"

"Yes, that's right," as soon as he said this, Ba Yu became energetic, "What Master Shaohong took us to do today is actually very suspicious. Let's not talk about whether the Lord of the Prisoner Cow Country is still alive, don't you think that she almost sneaked us into Huqin City?"

After listening to Bayu's words, Jiu Ban touched his chin and said: "Sneaky, isn't it, Shaohong National Master generally does things brightly, and besides, we are not some earth-destroying characters and will not expose her whereabouts, what is the point of her doing this?"

Suddenly, Ba Yu seemed to have suddenly realized, and said, "Brother Jiuban, do you think that Master Shaohong is protecting you?"

"Oh, how so?"

"Your identity! I think so....... The kings of the two kingdoms must be very happy to see your head fall to the ground, and whoever can take your head to them at this time will definitely get a lot of rewards! Not to mention ......"

"Nothing more. Jiuhan forcibly interrupted Bayu's conjecture, and then stepped forward and said while touching her head: "Bayu, Bayu, you are still a child, what are you thinking about every day, go back to sleep......" Jiuhan rubbed Bayu's head, his eyes were swollen and there was a doting on his young sister, but in fact, that kind of sorrow and worry was lingering.

And the eight feathers are all in their eyes.
