Shui Hao and the four of them followed Wu Zuo all the way to Old Man Sun, a three-story building made entirely of thatch.

The whole small building is built around a huge ancient tree, and outside the thatched building also hangs a pheasant with a broken neck, and the front door is soaked in blood.

In the room, there was a shabby table, a few lame chairs, and a thick animal skin on a low thatched couch.

Sitting on a low couch, through the window next to it, you can see the thatched huts one after another.

Shui Hao, Du Chi and Shui Hanquan sat around each other, only Shui Lan'er stood aside with a cold face.

"That's what those two bastards said was a good treat?" Shui Lan'er's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

"Lan'er, do you know that this Wu clan has been with wild beasts all year round and is used to the days when Ru Mao drinks blood. This thatched house is estimated to be the best in the entire Chaoyang Valley. Shui Hanquan laughed, looked at Shui Lan'er and teased, "Lan'er, you have to be careful! ”

"Forget it, Uncle Hanquan, it's not like you haven't seen Wu Zuo and Wu You's faces. They want to look at Shui Hao. ”

Shui Lan'er glared at Shui Hao fiercely, and said angrily: "Shui Hao, you obviously inherit the blood of my Shui clan, why do you say that you are the Tu Shan clan?"

Shui Hao's expression paused slightly, and after being silent for a long time, he sighed lightly: "If you are rich, how can you talk about your surname?"

"Is the surname really that important? It was you who made Brother join the Tushan clan, and it was you who blamed Brother for changing his surname. Twilight glanced at Shui Lan'er lightly and sneered, "It's really difficult to be a descendant of the Water Clan. How can we giants be happy and happy. ”

"Okay, Lan'er! It's useless to talk too much, it's just to increase the estrangement. Shui Hanquan hurriedly stopped Shui Lan'er, who opened her mouth to speak.

He walked out of the room, holding his breath and looking around until he was sure that there was no one around, then he closed the door and re-entered the room.

"Brother Shui Hao, what do you think?" Shui Hanquan frowned and looked at Shui Hao solemnly.

"What do you think?"

"Of course, it's the two brothers, Wu Zuo and Wu You, and why did they let us into it on the day of the sacrifice? Seeing that Shui Hao didn't care, Shui Hanquan said Jiao Sheng.

"Twilight ......"

Shui Hao called lightly, and the two brothers nodded tacitly. I saw the peachwood staff in Twilight's hand flutter lightly, and a transparent barrier descended from the top of his head, instantly enveloping everyone.

"Although the Starlight Barrier of Twilight Chi cannot be compared to the screen of the Tu Shan Clan's Mirror, it can also prevent the snooping of the spiritual sense of the mage, and the star power is not widely known, so it can also avoid startling the snake. ”

Shui Hanquan looked at Shui Hao with burning eyes, and his heart turned a thousand times.

"It's still the thoughtfulness of Brother Shuihao. Come to think of it, you don't completely trust the two brothers Wu Zuo and Wu Right in your heart. ”

"If they are not from my people, their hearts will be different. What's more, it's the Wu clan who has a grudge against us. Shui Hao's face was straight, and he said in a solemn voice, "Brother Hanquan, I saw you with a solemn face and a jealous expression along the way, what is the reason?"

Shui Hanquan sighed lightly and said, "Brother Shui Hao, I really don't hide it. I didn't want to enter the Valley of the Rising Sun. ”

"Then why are you ......?"

"Before leaving, the Great Elder specially explained that everything is based on you. Even in the royal city, your will is the decision of the Water Clan. Even if you don't like the second prince and support the other princes, we will comply. ”

Shui Hao couldn't help but be stunned, and there was an uncontrollable warmth in his heart, and Shui Lan'er was shocked in disbelief.

I only heard Shui Hanquan continue: "The Wu clan worships Tianwu on the night of the second full moon of every month, although today is also a full moon, but the day is not right; ”

Shui Hanquan found that Shui Hao's face did not show the expected surprise, and couldn't help but say curiously: "Brother Shui Hao, do you know this?"

"Brother Hanquan, I don't know what you're talking about. Shui Hao shook his head gently, "But I know that when I said that I was the Tu Shan clan, Wu Zuo was interrupted by Wu You, and the unspoken words must have refused us to enter; There's something weird about it all. ”

"Then why do you still enter the valley according to Wu Zuo and Wu You's thoughts?"

This time the surprised person was replaced by a water cold spring.

Since the princes we support are different, and there will inevitably be confrontations in the royal city at that time, it is better to get to know them more at this time.

And our whereabouts are not hidden, how dare they really hurt us. ”

Shui Hao's expression was determined, and his eyes showed a strong sense of confidence.

He wouldn't tell Shui Hanquan, and he had already sensed that there was a second elder Shui Hongze secretly following behind everyone.

"Brother Shui Hao, be careful in everything. Shui Hanquan shook his head helplessly, lamenting in his heart, he didn't know what Shui Hao relied on.

However, he had already decided in his heart that even if he sacrificed himself, he would definitely protect Shui Hao.

At this moment, Shui Hongze was hidden in the huge banyan tree at the mouth of Chaoyang Valley, and he didn't know that he would meet the cold spring on this trip.

In addition to letting him secretly protect Shui Hao's people, the clan also asked him to keep an eye on it and nip the contradictions between the four in the bud.

Seeing that the four of them released their previous suspicions and the relationship became more and more harmonious, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

But what he didn't expect was that Chaoyang Valley held a sacrifice at this time, and let Shui Hao everyone enter it.

Shui Hongze was secretly anxious, but he was powerless. By the time he tried to stop it, it was too late.

It was precisely because of this that he secretly sneaked into Chaoyang Valley, intending to find out.

Shui Hongze's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the misty corner of the misty corner of the depths of Chaoyang Valley.

There is a small thatched hut looming among the banyan trees. There is nothing special about this thatched hut in terms of size and scale, with the only exception being the white thatched roof.

In the room, on the low couch of animal skin, sat an old man with a gloomy and terrifying expression, and a young man in white sat kneeling beside him.

A young man with a sharp beak kneeling in front of the old man, his eyebrows fluttering and reporting something.

I only heard the old man say in a deep voice: "You mean to say that you are good at asserting and letting outsiders into the valley?"

"Patriarch, listen to me. The villain has verified that Tu Shanshui Hao is the main lineage of the Tushan clan. ”

"So what? Wu You, you are also an old man in the clan, you won't be ignorant of the rules of the clan. No outsiders are allowed to enter the valley for sacrifices in the clan, especially this time do you know how important it is to Wu Er?" the old man's voice was cold, without a trace of warmth.

"Patriarch, didn't you say that with the participation of the main branch of the Tushan clan, would this sacrifice be more perfect?" Wu Youjiao said in a loud voice, big drops of sweat dripping from his forehead.

"What else did you hear?"

"I ......"

The sound full of murderous intent made Wu You startled suddenly, he raised his head, only to see the old man's deep pool-like eyes sinking, and a faint flash of fierceness.

"The patriarch spares his life! Wu You has no selfishness, everything he does is for the sake of the clan and for Prince Wu. ”

Wu You shouted in horror, seeing that the murderous intent in the old man's eyes was undiminished, he hurriedly crawled to the young man in white, kowtowed and begged: "Prince Wu, please help the villain beg the patriarch and bypass the villain this time." ”

It turned out that this young man in white was Ji Wu, the third prince of Qingqiu Zeguo.

Ji Wu looked coldly at Wu You, who was constantly begging for mercy, with deep disdain in his eyes. But he still said: "Grandfather, Wu You is also kind. Tu Shan's clan doesn't stay!"

"Oh, did the Tu Shan clan offend you?" the old man raised his eyebrows and said unexpectedly.

"Over the years, only the Tu Shan clan in Yingshui has remained neutral, and I have sent people to invite me many times, but I didn't expect that group of women to be stubborn and slanderous. ”

"Hmph, they are really looking for death!" the old man snorted coldly and muttered, "It's different now than before. Tu Shan Aoqing's woman has fallen, and Tu Shan no longer has a Dharma master at the rank of Great Divine Master, so we don't need to be afraid. ”

Wu You's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly said, "Patriarch, those four people in the valley?"

"The process of sacrifice must not be seen by outsiders. Otherwise, the tragedy of a thousand years ago will be seen again! The end is already predestined from the moment they step into the valley. ”

The old man sighed lightly, his expression stunned.

He didn't want to involve the Tu Shan clan. Although Tu Shan Aoqing and Hu Luofei fell one after another, the water scenery of the Shui Yi clan was still built.

If you make a move against the Tu Shan clan now, you can only push that clan to the opposite side of yourself.

The old man glared at Wu You fiercely, and shouted, "Get out of here and prepare for the night sacrifice." If it weren't for the fact that you were still useful, Lao Tzu would have killed you now. ”

Wu Youru was pardoned, and he crawled out of the door.

Looking at Wu You's stumbling back, Ji Wu sneered again and again: "Grandpa, why bother to be angry about such waste? After the sacrifice is over, it's not too late to clean up." ”

"You said Wu You, it's just one of the dogs of my Wu clan. The old man's voice was cold, and his face was like frost.

"Grandpa, do you need to capture those four people in advance?"

"Why bother, I have already closed the valley, they can't fly. Once the sacrifice begins, the four will inevitably come in search of them.

Wu'er, my Wu clan has not had good heirs for hundreds of years, and your mother is the only one in your grandfather's generation. You are all my grandfather's hope. The old man changed his gloom just now, and his eyes were full of love.

"This battle for the succession is not only related to your throne, but also to my Wu clan.

Tonight will be easy. When the time comes, not only will you control the entire Qingqiu Ze Kingdom, but the glory of your ancestors will also return. What about the nine-tailed sky fox? What kind of dynasty change, the only one who has changed is the nine-tailed lady! They are all prostrate at our feet, trembling. ”

The old man looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, with madness and pride.

He didn't notice the obsession and sinking in Ji Wu's eyes when he mentioned the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox.
