On the side of the port, in an uninhabited alley, Shui Qigong shook the white stone pagoda and released Ah Guan and Ah Tai.

"Let's just wait here, and when the immortal who came to lead the way arrives, I will rush back to the blessed land." Shui Qigong said.

Waiting and waiting, Ah Tai peeled off the zongzi and ate it, and Ah Guan also ate one. The two of them ate all the strings of zongzi one by one, but they still didn't see the gods who came to greet them.

"! It's still late to catch the wind, playing a big name? Atai scolded impatiently.

"Is something wrong?" Ah Guan was a little worried.

Shui Qigong kept pacing, and was about to issue an order, when a burst of yellow smoke suddenly rolled up on the ground in front of everyone.

The short and fat figure in the yellow smoke seemed to be dancing and shouting: "Lord Guan, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

"Old potato!"

"! It's you! "Ah Guan and Ah Tai couldn't help but be surprised and delighted when they saw that the old potatoes appeared in the yellow smoke." Aren't you in the north? ”

"The immortals will be late, and you are the only one who is immortal!"

The old potato grinned and said, "There is a shortage of manpower in the central and southern regions, and the main camp will call me to lead the way for Lord Aguan." A few days ago, Lord Guan really took office, and I couldn't congratulate my lord, congratulations! Speaking of the north lately, it's weird! I don't believe that Tai Sui Ye will be evil, I can't figure this out, I really can't think through it..."

"That's it! You think slowly on the way, take Tai Sui-sama to meet the Autumn Grass Meeting, I have to rush back to the blessed land. Shui Qigong interrupted the old potato's nonsense.

Ah Guan and Shui Qi announced goodbyes, and then set off for the southern stronghold.

There are only two strongholds in the south, each guarded by Taibai Star and Glowing Star, while Lin Shan leads the generals of the Suixing Star to attack everywhere, while blocking the offensive of the Western Queen Mother, and also sneaking up on the various strongholds of the Western Queen Mother from time to time.

"Old potato, have you heard any news from Tai Sui Ye in the north?" Guan took Atai into the White Stone Pagoda, rode the Stone Fire Wheel, and let the old potato sit in the back seat. Ah Guan rode according to the instructions of the old potato, and said: "I don't believe that Tai Sui Ye will be evil either, Lin Shan, Pian Pian, and everyone else are waiting for Tai Sui Ye to come back..."

"yes!" As soon as the old potato chatterbox opened, he couldn't stop, and told all the rumors he had heard in the north, most of which were inconsequential information.

"I heard some wild ghosts say that sometimes in the mountains and valleys, you will see Tai Sui Ye and Chen Xing looking at the night sky in the sky. I've also heard some mountain spirits say that sometimes some spirits on the mountain are so evil that they will hurt people everywhere. The Star Tribe's generals will also sneak into the mountains and kill these spirits. If it's true, I see that Chenxing is not too evil an evil god! ”

Ah Guan snorted and said, "Maybe after Tai Sui Ye was captured by Chenxing, he seized the opportunity to drive out the evil thoughts of Chenxing and the generals around him?" ”

Lao Tudou continued: "This is also very likely, everyone has thought so, but it is also a fact that Tai Sui Ye and Chen Xing fought against Zhenxing several times and made Zhenxing disgraced. Now that the war situation is stalemate, it would be very strange if they didn't come to help...

While chatting, the Stone Fire Wheel rode into the city, and it was already evening. The urban area is very lively, with a lot of traffic, and it is almost as prosperous as the big cities in the north.

Ah Guan followed the instructions of the old potato and rode into a dark alley, and a voice came from the depths of the dark alley.

"Dead potato, why is it so slow!" Three short old men with identical faces shouted.

"Huh!" Ah Guan rubbed his eyes, the three little old men in front of him did look exactly the same, and even the clothes on their bodies were exactly the same.

The old potato jumped out of the car and said with a smile: "Lord Guan! They are winter squash, pumpkin, gherkin! It's triplets who even speak exactly the same. ”

"Hello Tai Sui—" The three melons saluted Ah Guan together.

Ah Guan asked with a smile: "Why do you even wear the same clothes, so that everyone won't be able to tell who is who?" ”

The winter melon on the far left said: "No, no, no, our clothes are not the same." We all have embroidered words on our backs! Winter melon said as he turned around and pointed to the big "winter" on his back.

The pumpkin and the gherkin also shouted and jumped, and the words "Nan" and "Little Yellow" were embroidered on their backs.

"Haha, little yellow..." Ah Guan laughed amusedly.

Old Potato added: "Winter melon is also known as 'fool', pumpkin is also called 'stupid melon', and gherkin is 'silly melon'... ”

When Sangua heard this, he blew his beard and glared at him and scolded: "What alias!" ”

"You're making up your own mess!"

"Don't listen to his nonsense, my lord!"

Before the collapse of the Tai Sui Ding, although the god of the dry land was also guarding various places, he would always meet from time to time, and his feelings were very deep, and he couldn't help but be very excited when he rarely saw each other for a long time under the long battle.

After frolicking for a while, Ah Guan rode out of this dark alley, led by the three melon character land gods, and soon rode out of the downtown and rode to a community close to the outskirts of the mountain.

The environment of this community is pleasant, the apartment buildings are very clean, there are some businesses nearby, and the transportation is convenient. Pumpkin opened his mouth: "Lord Tai Sui, there used to be a stronghold here, which was guarded by Lord Taibai Xingdebiao, but then the battle was fierce, and the righteous gods were worried that the stronghold was set up in the community, and if it was attacked by the evil gods, I was afraid that it would affect the nearby people, so they withdrew this stronghold." ”

Ah Guan nodded, looking left and right, an old man in front of him holding a little girl was very familiar, and when he looked closely, it was Dean Liang of the old people's home, and the little girl was naturally Wenwen.

"Ahh Ah Guan jumped out of the car and pointed at Dean Liang and Wenwen, "babbling and babbling" and couldn't speak.

"Isn't this Ah Guan? You're so slow to come. Everyone is waiting for you. Dean Liang was also surprised and smiled, but he knew that Ah Guan would come.

Ah Guan remembered that Wenwen and these old grandfathers went down to the south with Zhengshen and moved into a nursery school, and the old grandfathers served as volunteers in the nursery under Zhengshen's arrangement to take care of Wenwen nearby. It turned out that the nursery school that I heard about when I parted with Wenwen was in this community.

"Brother Guan, you're here." Wenwen looked at Guan with a grin.

Ah Guan couldn't hide his excitement, touched Wenwen's head, and shouted to Dean Liang: "Where is Grandpa Wang?" What about Uncle Chen? Are they all okay? ”

Dean Liang laughed loudly: "Okay! It's all very strong! The gods take good care of us old guys who stepped into the coffin, and they sometimes send some tonic soups, which can cure some of our old diseases, and my rheumatism has not been committed for a long time, haha! ”

"Take me to see them," Guan said excitedly.

Before Dean Liang could answer, Sangua spoke in unison: "Wait... Wait!" ”

"Lord Tai Sui, Taibai Xing Debiao is waiting for you..."

"That's right!" Ah Guan smiled apologetically and said, "Grandpa Liang, I'll come back to see you later." ”

Dean Liang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, we knew you were coming today, of course we have to go to see the gods first, our old man, stewed chicken soup is waiting for you." ”

Ah Guan said goodbye to Dean Liang, patted Wenwen's head, and followed Sangua to the suburbs. Coming to an upward mountain intersection, the two heavenly generals held large axes and nodded to Ah Guan. Ah Guan greeted the heavenly general and continued to ride, the mountain road was very rugged and twisted.

There is a fork in the road in front of you, one side going up, the other side downhill. The downhill road was overgrown with weeds, as if few people had passed; Near the uphill mountain road, you can clearly see several dilapidated apartments.

Although the apartment is dilapidated, it is surrounded by a golden light enchantment, and the sky is guarded by heavenly generals in all directions.

Ah Guan didn't think about it, so he rode uphill, but Sangua stopped him. "My lord, my lord, it's not this side, it's the other side!"

"Huh?" Ah Guan was stunned, looking at Sangua all pointing to another downhill road overgrown with weeds, and was feeling strange: "That... ”

"That's a trap." The gherkins grinned.

Sangua led Ah Guan and turned to the downhill weedy path towards the stronghold, while explaining the apartments on the uphill road.

"This is a ploy that the autumn grass fairy came up with. She said that according to the current situation, the Queen Mother of the West may raid our stronghold at any time. The old Highland building was just a cover to disguise our true stronghold. Enchantments and traps are planted in the apartment. The three melons explained together.
