(xxvii)
In the past two days, Jiugong's mood has been unprecedentedly bad, to be precise: it should be particularly depressed. The reasons for this come from a variety of sources. However, the most important thing is that the demon king is about to wake up, but the queen's whereabouts are still unknown, he knows that this is the means by which the fourth ancestor wants to seize the demon world, and he also knows that the fourth uncle will definitely not destroy the queen easily, after all, the queen is under his control, it is the most advantageous weapon to blackmail himself and Kuangshi, so insidious fourth uncle will not understand. But he was also afraid that the fourth uncle would really ruin the queen! In that case, his conscience would never be at peace! After all, the demon king was the demon king who had to be the last resort for himself. They are also responsible for the fate of their husband and wife today.
Yesterday, he went to the fourth aunt's mother's house again, and walked around the mountain for a long time, but he couldn't see the peak of the mountain at all, the whole mountain was like being wrapped in haze, and all his eyes could see was the clouds and fog-like gas. Not to mention finding the edge of a mountain stream!
Jiu Gong was spinning around on that mountain, and he couldn't even think of a way. He was so frustrated, so annoyed!
Today is the nineteenth day of the queen's disappearance, and now, the queen is sure in this mountain stream, but it is really unknown where she is. How can we dispel the haze of nearly 100 miles? Alas, Jiugong is really at a loss.
Just when Jiugong was in a heavy mood and his eyes were full of mist, Kuang Shi and the fourth lord also came to the foot of the mountain. Their thoughts are the same as those of Jiugong, hoping to make one last effort and hope for a miracle.
"Fourth uncle, aren't you familiar with this place at all?" Kuang Shi sincerely asked the fourth grandfather's son, the fourth lord.
"Shi'er, I'm here for the first time today, and I'm really not familiar with this place. Please trust me!" replied the Fourth Lord very honestly.
"Fourth Uncle, you misunderstood! Although, yes-" Kuang Shi didn't know what to call the Fourth Patriarch for a while, after all, he still respected the Fourth Uncle.
"Shi'er, don't worry. I don't care if you believe it or not, but I tell you: I don't approve of what my father did, and I wouldn't approve of it if my mother were at home. So, don't worry, no matter what time it is, the fourth uncle will stand on the side of justice! I promise you!" The fourth lord actually raised his hand and swore an oath.
If I don't believe you, I won't invite you to come and figure out a way with me. Kuangshi's worried expression was on his face.
"However, Shi'er, it's not a way for us to search for such a blank purpose! This fog must cover at least a hundred miles, and it is in vain for us to find someone in such a large place. The fourth lord looked at the fog in front of him and said his thoughts very objectively.
"Fourth uncle, I understand what you said, but I can't just sit at home and wait, I want to try to find it again, maybe, there will really be a miracle!" However, he himself knows that the appearance of such a miracle is almost 0 in 100 million.
"Shi'er, don't believe in that miracle! we still have a day, and we will have a chance. Don't be discouraged!" the fourth lord looked at Kuang Shi's haggard face, and the guilt in his heart was really indescribable. However, he couldn't convince his father. Alas, don't talk about me, even my mother made him angry, who can persuade him!
"Fourth uncle, I won't tell you: I and Uncle Wang have thought of any way we can think of, but to no avail! Alas!" Kuang Shi said helplessly.
"Shi'er, things have come to this point, there is something I still want to remind you!" The fourth lord is a steady and honest person, he is the same as the fourth grandmother, he is kind-hearted, upright and refreshing, and he will say whatever he thinks.
"Fourth uncle, it's time for you, if you have anything to say, it's okay. "Although he is the demon king and queen of the four ancestors, Kuangshi still respects the uncle of the fourth lord very much. This is because he usually knows the fourth uncle, so he feels that the fourth uncle is trustworthy at all times. Just like the four grandmothers, they can be trusted.
"What I'm trying to say is: My father is scheming, don't take his word for it. I'm worried: what if he, like us, can't save the queen at all?" said the fourth lord in a very heavy tone.
"Fourth uncle, why do you say that?" The words of the fourth lord made Kuang Shi's heart cold, because he also had this kind of thought, and at this time, he coincided with the idea of the fourth uncle.
"It's not a matter of a day or two that my father wants to dominate the demon world, and my mother has quarreled with him about this I don't know how many times, and even now she has run away from home. There are some things that he still carries on his mother's back, but he never carries me on his back. But I've never heard him talk about mountain streams. Therefore, I suspect—" At this point in the words of the Fourth Lord, he did not go any further. He knew that the wise world understood what he meant.
"Fourth uncle, I won't tell you: I used to have this kind of thought, but now I can't control it so much, I can't risk the destruction of the queen mother to protect the wand. However, what makes me a little more relieved is that I have given you the wand, and I believe that you will also be a good demon king!" Kuang Shi impulsively stepped forward and took the hand of the fourth lord, and said sincerely with emotional words.
"Shi'er, for my father's harm to you, Fourth Uncle really doesn't know how to make up for you. I'm not going to take this wand, and I don't want to join in hurting you. The fourth lord said sincerely.
"If it really comes to that point, you will still have to take this wand, and only you can return the peace of the demon world. Jiugong happened to come here at this time and took over the conversation.
"Big brother!" "Uncle Wang!" the fourth lord and Kuang Shi shouted at the same time.
"Have you two thought of anything?" asked the Ninth Duke to Kuang Shi and the Fourth Lord.
"Not yet!" replied in frustration.
"I've been here for a while, and I had an idea, and I wanted to discuss it with the two of you, but I just happened to meet-" Jiugong's words just said here.
"What do you think?" Before the anxious Kuang Shi could finish speaking, he asked eagerly.
"I'm also thinking this because I'm in a hurry, not necessarily, you two will work on it. Jiu Gong was a little uncertain and said worriedly.
"Uncle Wang, when is it, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we have to try!" After all, Kuang Shi was anxious, and he lacked the calmness of the Nine Dukes and the Fourth Lord.
"Big brother, what do you think? Just say it! Now, we can only make one last effort. "The fourth lord also lost his usual stability. The tone is also very urgent.
"I think this foggy thing is like fog and clouds. If it's clouds, can we use the wind to blow it, as for this fog-like thing? fog, afraid of the sun, will this thing be afraid of fire?" Jiu Gong slowly said his thoughts. I don't know why, Jiu Gong is now convinced: The queen is somewhere in this mountain stream!
"Uncle Wang, what do you mean?" Kuang Shi somewhat understood Jiugong's intentions.
"I also thought of it in a hurry, and I don't know if it will work!" Jiugong said helplessly.
"I thought I might as well give it a try. The fourth lord said in a tone of agreement.
"I thought: there is no other way now, if you think of any way, just try it, it's better than waiting!"
"I agree! The fourth lord said cheerfully.
"Without further ado, I'll immediately inform the Wind Demon and Fire Demon to come and wait early tomorrow morning. Kuangshi also simply decided.
"Also, Shi'er, tomorrow before we act, bring the fourth uncle here, and secretly bring the wand, just in case!" said Jiugong thoughtfully.
"Uncle Wang, why did you bring him here? Let him see our jokes?"
"Shi'er, you misunderstood Uncle Wang! He was afraid that we would be delayed for a long time, and the queen would really have no chance at that time! Big brother, am I right?" the fourth lord asked the ninth prince understandingly.
"That's what I mean! I don't want to wait until I can't feel the presence of the queen to find the fourth uncle, at that time, we really don't have a chance. Jiugong said a little guiltily.
"What about bringing him here, will he let my mother go out of the mind of affection?"
"If I can do that, it would be the best! The reason why I did this was not because I had any luck, but because I didn't want to waste every moment, he was here, and we could work until the last moment. Do you understand what I mean?" Jiugong didn't want to say so bluntly, so cruelly.
