Maya sat on the lion, her eyes kept wandering around, and when she saw him secretly looking at her, but as soon as she came into contact with her bold gaze, she didn't squint, and Maya couldn't help but laugh when she saw his unstoppable expression.
Then Zhou You told what happened after Maya passed out:
What Maya didn't expect was that it had been the third day since she was in a coma. That day, Zhou You rushed out of the cave regardless of a qiē, trying to find the five-point Tiannan flower, but he didn't expect to meet the demon soldiers, and quickly fled back to the lion cave. The two fire lions rushed out of the hole and tore open the large net opened by the demon soldiers, which was used to catch the lions, and then the lions went crazy and crushed the heavenly spirit covers of the demon soldiers one by one. It can be seen that the lioness must have been poisoned by the demon soldiers, but fortunately she traveled around to help them. The demon soldiers came to capture them again this time, just in time to avenge the two demon lions. Zhou You was about to go out of the cave again to look for flowers, but he didn't expect the male lion to bite the five-o'clock Tiannan flower and come in, put the flower on Meiya, and went to take care of the lioness. Zhou You fed Mei Ya five o'clock Tiannan to eat, and immediately fixed her condition, and her breathing became stable. Zhou You had the courage to thank the two fire lions, but he didn't expect the two fire lions to become intimate with him. He was afraid that the fire on their bodies would burn him, so the two fire lions put away the fire, revealing their red hair, and let him touch and let him ride. He thought that this was not a place to stay for long, so he said goodbye to the two lions, who came with him, and it turned out that they were trying to protect the two men who had saved their lives, which surprised him. When he came out of the cave, he saw that there were two warriors from the East Chamber Holy Pavilion among the corpses on the ground, and he had an idea. Strip the two of them off their clothes. Wear it on yourself and Maya.
Traveling around patting the top flower of the lion. said: "Strange things fell from heaven to me, and I accepted them as ordered." ”
Mei Ya said: "You are not ashamed, these two magic lions are our good friends, you can't ride them." So saying, he helped the lioness to walk with her red hair.
Zhou You said to the lion: "Good friend, it seems that Miss Mei still knows how to love you." As he spoke, he also got off the lion and took Maya's hand.
Mei Ya said: "Brother Zhou, your identity has been exposed. Presumably, at this time, all walks of life are hunting you down. Let's go east like this, and we'll be caught on the way. ”
Zhou You saw her talking with "we", which showed that she regarded herself as not an ordinary person, and she was moved in her heart, and said: "If there is a day, I will cut my neck, and I have nothing to regret." ”
Seeing his arrogant appearance, Maya thought, "I didn't misunderstand him, his enthusiasm is so good that I admire." There really was a day. I died with him. She said softly, "Yes, death is death." That's not a big deal. ”
Zhou You said: "Meiya, you may not know that the Haihe River has been controlled by the Dongxiang Holy Pavilion, and we have to cross the river, which is originally a life ...... nine deaths."
Mei Ya said: "Brother Zhou, don't say it anymore, I have made up my mind, and it's useless to say it again." She had already heard that Zhou You meant to persuade her to return to the king's mountains, so she first said no words, and did not allow him to refuse to follow him by his side.
At this time, it was already dark, and the two saw a ruined temple in front of them, so they went in and spent the night. The two fire lions lay down and snuggled together, Zhou You pulled Maya to lean on the fire lion, Meiya suddenly stood up and took some incense ash from the incense altar, found some water in a clay pot, stopped it into mud, and smeared a layer on Zhou You's face, and the white and pure Zhou You immediately became a black man, and Maya herself painted some. He lay down with Zhou You.
When she woke up, Maya was gone, but the two fire lions were there, knowing that Zhou You was gone, she rode the fire lion and chased after her. The fiery lion took her to the Haihe River. At this time, the sky was already bright, but there was a very thick fog in the Haihe River. From afar, he saw standing and swimming around the shore, and the sea breeze blew his hair high.
Mei Yachi approached and shouted, "Do you want to leave me?"
Zhou You said: "Silly girl, your task is to follow us to catch the slippery ghost Shi Qianqian, now that the ghost hunting operation is over, I will go to save my country, you don't have to suffer yourself." Zhou You looked at her, full of care.
Maya approached him and said, "Ghost hunting was originally to know the cause of the war, but now it is meaningless. Brother Zhou, don't you still understand? The demon has already put the knife on the neck of the people of the Celestial Empire, or it will not be long before the knife will be compared to the nose of our half-immortals, the Celestial Empire has perished, and Wang Zhushan, Zhongzhou Kingdom, Tianyang Kingdom, and many other small clans cannot escape the doom of extinction. The Queen's intentions are clear, she intends to form an alliance with you to fight the demons together. If you want to save the country, I will also go to war, what is an alliance? This is an alliance. She didn't want to be persuaded by Zhou You, and she gushed out the reasoning.
"No matter what you say, you should never leave your people, the most important thing you need to do now is to go back to the king's mountains and join them to protect the clan land, not to be with me. Zhou You really didn't want her to be hurt a little bit, so he moved with affection.
Maya shook her head and said, "The good people of the Heavenly Realm need our protection, and if the Queen knew about my decision, she would agree." Brother Zhou, do you really still not understand my heart?"
Zhou You was stunned, the last sentence was extremely sincere, and it sounded more moving to Zhou You than the Dandan oath of the sea and the mountain alliance, he couldn't bear to brush her love for himself anymore, and held her in his arms.
At this time, a few fishermen came, carrying fishing gear, and got on the boat to go fishing in the river. When the fishermen saw him and the two lions, they all stared at him as if they were enemies. Zhou You stepped forward and asked an older man: "Uncle, do you have any extra boats, rent one to us, we are going to the Celestial Empire." ”
The man snorted and said, "No, you have a warship, do you still need a little sampan like ours?"
Zhou You thought: "We have a warship on the east bank of the Haihe River, but how can he know that he is an ordinary old man? Not to mention that he seems to hate me very much when he is angry, I don't know why?" Just as he was about to ask clearly, Mei Ya said: "Brother Zhou, it was our clothes that provoked them, it seems that the people here have been bullied a lot by the East Chamber Holy Pavilion." "It dawned on you.
At that time, the Dongxiang Holy Pavilion colluded with the pirates on the Haihe River, and had already controlled the Haihe River, and on weekdays, they had to come to the west bank to help the fishermen here, which had already aroused the anger of the locals, but the power of the Dongxiang Holy Pavilion was too huge, as long as it resisted a little, it would immediately lead to death, so the common people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
The group of fishermen began to throw something into the river and sing into the river. But after a while, some old man with a beard appeared in the water, and the old man said, "There are fewer and fewer of them!"
Maya looked at the old manfish in amazement, and saw that they had no hands or feet, and their bodies were covered with scales, except for these, they were the same as humans.
The old man fish paddled their four fins and ate what the fishermen had scattered, and the old man said to the old fish: "Plaice, why didn't you come today?"
The old man named Flounder cried out, and he didn't eat anything, but just cried.
The old man sighed and said, "It's really a sin, Scaly Five is still a child, and they won't let it go." ”
The other old manfish cried in unison.
The old man said: "Friends, you eat quickly, hide after eating, we won't go fishing." ”
Flounder cried and said: "We have all decided, we will help you catch the fish, uncle, those bad people will not let us go, sooner or later they will die, it is better to help our friends before they die." "Old mermaids live in the water, but they are close relatives of the Terrans, and they often help the fishermen drive the fish into their nets.
When the old man heard this, he said: "No, we didn't catch any fish, at most we were only hungry for two meals, we will never lose your life because of this, you can go quickly." ”
At this moment, suddenly a tiger-headed warship appeared from the fog like a ghost, and there were many archers standing on the side of the ship, none other than the warriors of the East Chamber Holy Pavilion.
Zhou You was about to shout for them to hurry up and dodge, but the old man had already shouted: "Dive quickly, quickly hide underwater." The plaice and his old mermaids were all panicked, turned back and got into the water, and fled in panic, and many arrows flew from the boat, and every branch of the boat was shot into the water and disappeared. The samurai on the ship were supposed to shoot the old manfish, but the old man told them to break them, and the arrows missed.
An arrow was shot from the "bell", and you saw that the long arrow passed through the old man's chest, revealing an arrow more than a foot long from the back, and the force of shooting so far was quite amazing.
The fishermen exclaimed in amazement, and they all shouted, "Killed, the warriors of the East Chamber Holy Pavilion have killed someone." ”
Another arrow came and went straight to the other fisherman, getting closer and closer, and suddenly turned to the side and flew into the rocks on the shore, leaving only the tail outside, much stronger than the original.
Mei Ya applauded softly: "Good skill!" She is a middle and high master, and she is well versed in this. When she looked up, she saw that the archer was a little shorter than the others, and he was a small man who was not unremarkable.
The little archer shouted, "If you don't hurry home, throw you all into the river to feed the fish." ”
The fishermen shouted and fled with the old man's body.
The ship's chief shouted, "Are the two brothers on the shore back to the headquarters?"
Mei Ya touched Zhou You's hand and shook her head, signaling him to lie and deceive him, but she didn't expect Zhou You to arch her hands and say, "Fortunately! "Pulled Maya into a fishing boat and rowed towards the tiger's head warship.
Maya was very anxious and said softly, "Do you want to throw yourself into the net?"
Zhou You said: "If you don't meet them on the Haihe River, you will also meet other Dongxiang Holy Pavilion warriors, and you will see the opportunity to act after you go up." ”
Maya nodded.
As he spoke, he rowed to the bottom of the tiger's head warship, put down the hanging basket on it, and hoisted the two people and two lions up one by one. I saw that there were all kinds of heavy weapons such as giant arrows and trebuchets on it, and it was indeed a well-equipped warship. (To be continued......)
