In the clearing in the forest, the four of them sat around the bonfire, and saw Shui Hao use a thick branch to clean up a pheasant that he had just caught, and then put it on the fire to roast. The light of the fire bounced, the dead branches crackled in the fire, and from time to time, a burst of fragrance spread out.

As the fire triumphed, the pheasant made a noise, and a drop of fat slowly slid down the full lines.

Several small bottles and cans instantly appeared in Shui Hao's hands and began to gently drip on the pheasant.

Soon, the surface of the pheasant began to become pale golden, and the fat mixed with the seasoning slowly seeped into the meat.

Shui Hanquan looked Shui Hao up and down, his heart was both complicated and strange.

Outside the village, he was convinced that he lost, and the young man was far superior to him in terms of talent and scheming.

Shui Hanquan's mind remembered the advice of the three elders before leaving, and his heart still couldn't stop trembling.

He knew the hatred of the three elders for the father and son, but now, this hatred was not only released, but the three elders also wanted to let themselves match Shui Hao and Shui Lan'er along the way.

is only because of the ancestor's talent, but also because the young spirit treasure has the things guarded by the ancestors of the Shui Yi clan, including his father and eldest brother.

He is not as ignorant as Shui Lan'er, those bottles and cans just now appeared silently, and then quietly disappeared, Shui Hao must have the legendary space items in his hands.

This is something that only exists in legends, and the water clan has never owned it for thousands of years.

And the technique of Shui Hao's barbecue is so skillful, it is not the first time that I think this is here.

Shui Hanquan couldn't help but become more curious about the young man in front of him.

Seeing again, Shui Hao looked at the bonfire in front of him and gradually fell into a trance, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he recalled those people or things that made him unforgettable.

As for Twilight, he looked salivating, his eyes unblinking at the pheasant, and he wiped his saliva with the back of his hand from time to time.

Shui Lan'er sat next to the cold spring with her hands and knees, her eyes blurred as she looked at the constantly jumping firelight, silently thinking about her thoughts.

In the middle of the night, no one spoke, and there were insects chirping around, and occasionally beasts roaring.

At this moment, the flames crackled, a dead branch burst open, and the fragrance of the pheasant became stronger.

Shui Lan'er only felt that a fragrant delicacy invaded instantly through her snort, which made her sink in, and even her stomach couldn't help but gurgle a few times.

She raised her head and saw Shui Hao holding a chicken leg in his hand and handed it to her.

"Shui Lan'er, here you go!" Shui Hao smiled and said softly.

He knew that if the three elders blocked it, it would be impossible for the Shuibo root to enter the Shuiyi clan genealogy smoothly. Speaking of which, he and Shui Lan'er don't have a deep hatred, it's just that they don't like each other because of the grievances of the previous generation.

Shui Lan'er couldn't help but be stunned, a trace of doubt flashed in her beautiful eyes, and then she snorted coldly and turned her head silently.

"Brother, if she doesn't eat it, forget it, so why force it. Originally, a pheasant was not enough for me!"

"Who said I don't want to. Shui Lan'er suddenly spoke, she quickly stretched out her hand, snatched the chicken legs, and looked at Twilight Chi angrily: "I just give cats to dogs, and I don't cheap you." ”

"For cats and dogs, then you might as well give it to me!At least I can protect you in times of danger!" Twilight said with a hint of anger, scratching her head.

"Who needs your protection. I ......"

Shui Lan'er stood up, and suddenly saw Shui Hao looking at her with a gentle face, his eyes full of kindness.

For some reason, Shui Lan'er's face suddenly turned red. She glanced at Shui Hao fiercely, turned her head, carried Shui Hao on her back, seemed to hesitate for a while, walked a few meters, and then ate.

Looking at Shui Lan'er's back in the distance, Shui Hao shook his head helplessly, and sighed lightly in his heart.

Shui Hanquan saw that the center of her eyes moved slightly, and blurted out: "Lan'er, she actually doesn't have a bad heart, but she was spoiled by us when she was a child." ”

"Uncle Cold Spring......"

"You call me Brother Hanquan!" Shui Hanquan didn't wait for Shui Hao to call out, and said first.

"How can this work? After all, you belong to the same generation as your father. ”

"You're eighteen years old now, and I'm only twenty-eight. I always feel awkward when you call me uncle. Seeing that Shui Hao was still hesitating, Shui Hanquan continued, "You don't have to worry about the rest of the clan, we'll talk about it one by one." And I'm the only one left in our lineage. ”

"Shui Hao has seen Brother Hanquan!" Shui Hao nodded in relief and bowed deeply to Shui Hanquan.

Shui Hanquan patted Shui Hao's shoulder vigorously and said, "Good brother!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and their relationship with each other couldn't help but get much closer.

Twilight raised her head and glanced thoughtfully at Shui Hanquan, then tore off another chicken leg and nibbled on it.

"Brother Shui Hao, you are the most talented person I have ever seen. Who would have thought that someone would cross a big rank and defeat an opponent. Shui Hanquan praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Brother Hanquan, I just took a trick. If I hadn't taken the lead, I wouldn't have been able to resist your attack. ”

"No matter what the reason, victory is victory, defeat is defeat! ”

Shui Hao saw that Shui Hanquan's words were sincere, and his eyes were full of sincerity, so he no longer spoke politely, but just smiled honestly.

"Brother Shui Hao, what are your plans to go to Qingqiu Zeguo this time and lift the curse of the Red Squid clan?"

"Qingqiu Zeguo?" Shui Hao looked at Shui Hanquan blankly, with a puzzled expression.

"Brother, don't you know, this Yingshui country is just the name of our three clans. Many years ago, the British Water Country was renamed Qingqiu Zeguo. ”

"I see. Shui Hao came to his senses at this time, and he was secretly glad to have Shui Hanquan with him.

"Brother Hanquan, I only know that the ancestors of the Red Squid clan were imprisoned in the Lock Spirit Tower in the Royal City. Nothing else is known. ”

"The Lock Spirit Tower? There are heavy guards all year round, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. It is only when the throne is changed that you will have a chance to enter it. ”

When Shui Hao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a few breaths, and then asked, "Brother Hanquan, can't we sneak into it quietly?"

"Sneaking in? Should you be said to be ignorant or should you be praised for being fearless? As long as you enter the Lock Spirit Tower, your spiritual power will be sealed, and you will not be able to use magic at all. Shui Lan'er snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

After speaking, she glanced at Shui Hanquan again, and said in surprise: "Uncle Hanquan, why does Shui Hao call you eldest brother?"

"Let's talk about it!" Shui Hao coughed dryly and hurriedly said.

"Hmph, do you still want me to call you uncle!"

"Alright, Lan'er. I made Shui Hao call it that. Shui Hanquan hurriedly spoke out to relieve the siege.

Shui Lan'er snorted coldly, and when she saw that the two of you were willing to do so, she didn't delve into it anymore.

"Why didn't my grandfather remind me when he knew?"

"The reason why the Great Elder didn't say it was because these few days were the time of the change of thrones. ”

"How could things be so well put together. Shui Hao looked at Shui Hanquan unexpectedly and said in surprise.

"Hahaha, Brother Shui Hao, you are really lucky, it seems that we will be able to achieve our goal on this trip. ”

"I think it's a fool who has a fool's fortune. ”

"Shui Lan'er, don't go too far. You just finished eating Brother's roast chicken, and now you turn your face and don't recognize anyone. Twilight couldn't help but say.

"I didn't eat it!"

"You didn't eat, what is oily on your mouth. ”

"Phew, I just didn't eat!" Shui Lan'er looked at Twilight Chi viciously, wiping the corners of her mouth vigorously as she reached out.

Seeing the two arguing like children, Shui Hao and Shui Hanquan couldn't cry or laugh.

"Brother Hanquan, since Grandpa didn't stop me, I think there is a way for us to participate in the battle for the throne, right?"

Shui Hanquan nodded, and said in a solemn voice: "Yes, there are a total of three princes in Qingqiu Zeguo who are qualified to compete for the throne. They are the eldest prince Ji Xian, the second prince Ji Ru, and the third prince Ji Wu. Among them, the second prince Ji Ru is attached to my water clan. ”

"The other two?"

"The eldest prince Ji Xian is attached to the Qingqiu Hu family, and the third prince is attached to the Wu family in Chaoyang Valley. ”

"Chaoyang Valley Wu family?" Shui Hao looked at Shui Hanquan suspiciously, he had never heard of this family.

"Yes, Chaoyang Valley is located between Yingshui Village and Wangcheng, and has always been controlled by the Wu clan. ”

Seeing Shui Hao's indifferent look, Shui Hanquan couldn't help but turn pale and said in a deep voice: "Brother Shui Hao, you must not underestimate the Wu clan. Their Tibetan spirits are also good at controlling water, and call themselves Tianwu. ”

"Tianwu?"

Shui Hanquan's face became more solemn, and his voice became even lowered.

"Not bad. On this day, Wu also belongs to the strange beasts of Qingqiu Mountain, but he is not as famous as the Nine-Tails. They have the body of a tiger and a human face, and legend has it that in ancient times, there was a Tianwu with eight heads, eight claws, and eight tails. It is a disaster to the world, feeding on the fetus in the womb of a pregnant woman, and the eight tails swing in unison to shake the mountains and flood.

It was the nine-tailed sky fox and the ancestor of the Red Pig clan who shot together to kill that Tianwu. It was also at that time that we formed an incomprehensible hatred for the Tianwu clan. ”

"Feeding on the fetus in the womb is simply intolerable. I didn't expect the nine-tailed sky fox to do such a good thing. Twilight interjected.

"Do you know that in Qingqiu Zeguo, the nine-tailed sky fox is called the nine-tailed lady. People see her as the patron saint of Qingqiu Zeguo. The throne has changed in the world, and the only constant is the nine-tailed mother!"

"Since the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox controls the Yingshui Ze Kingdom, why do you allow the third prince to attach to the Wu clan with Tianwu as the Tibetan spirit, and let them control Chaoyang Valley?"

Shui Hanquan looked at Shui Hao, sighed and said, "There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests. Hundreds of years ago, Tianwu chose to attach himself to the nine-tailed sky fox to deal with the red squid clan together. Otherwise, why would the Hu family overwhelm our clan all at once. ”

The voice of the water cold spring suddenly became cold, and two cold rays burst out of his eyes.

"The Wu family is stationed in Chaoyang Valley, and the good thing about it is to prevent foreign beasts from invading Qingqiu Ze Country, but everyone knows that they are just monitoring my Shui clan. ”
