Chapter Forty-Nine: The White Demon Queen
Purple Shadow held the letter in her hand, a little hesitant.
This white beaver clan has disappeared for many years, and must have been prepared to become independent for the country. Moreover, relying solely on human means, it may be even more difficult to forcibly control the white civet spirit beast, and territorial separation is a foregone conclusion.
"I can't do anything about national affairs, I'm just a common man, I can only act as a messenger. Since the queen trusts her face to face, she will definitely live up to her expectations. But...... However, I have a tricky matter at hand now, and if I don't handle it well, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the city for more than a month. Purple Shadow slurred her words, and her face was full of embarrassment.
If you can't go back to the city, you naturally can't do anything, and the white demon's silver eyes have a little eagerness, "Childe, please speak up." ”
"I received news that my father disappeared near the Snow Mountain, I wonder if the people of the Tanuki Clan have ever seen it?" Zi Ying's eyes showed a heroic spirit, he was sure that as long as there were humans involved in the realm of the Snow Mountain, it was impossible for the White Demon not to know.
The white demon looked at the purple shadow with an affirmative look in her eyes, and then she smiled brightly, "In this way, there is indeed a person... It's very much like Childe's father!" the white demon strolled up to the high seat, held the snow-white little fox in his arms, and stroked it gently.
"A month ago, a man in his fifties tried to trespass on my Tanuki territory, but was stopped by the guards, and then disappeared. Her words were indifferent and her expression was lazy, and although she could not see that it was perfunctory, she could not be completely convinced.
Purple Shadow was skeptical and sighed deeply. "Well, that's going to be a tough one. He made a heartbroken look, "If I can't find my father this time, what face do I have to go back and meet my mother?"
The white demon saw that Ziying's face was embarrassed, and a trace of anger appeared in the corners of his eyes, but he suppressed it very well and was not discovered.
After thinking about it, he had to say, "Bai Rao, tell me to go down and search the entire White Fox Snow Mountain for me again, if I can find the patriarch of the Purple Clan, I will definitely reward him, and I will know the answer early tomorrow morning." ”
turned to Ziying and said with a smile, "Please also ask Childe to rest in peace in the valley for one night, waiting for tomorrow's news." ”
Purple Shadow heard the answer she wanted, and her heart was finally relieved for a while.
"It's still early, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to enjoy the beautiful scenery in this valley?" On the way here, he clearly felt that Bai Rao deliberately avoided some places when he led the way, and he wanted to know very much what Bai Rao was hiding.
First, I was afraid that the white raccoon might really imprison my father and hide something, so I was so scrupling. The second reason is that there have always been rumors in the DPRK and China that the white raccoon clan and the demon clan are next to each other and have been together for a long time, lest they fall into the devil's path. Could it be that the white civet clan really colluded with the demon clan to take such precautions?
The white demon replied: "Of course, Bai Rao, you follow Childe, lead the way for Childe, don't let Childe fall into the trap of hunting!" After speaking, he walked into the back room with the little fox.
Ziying looked at the back of the white demon and Bai Rao's smile, and thought to himself that this was clearly arranging Bai Rao to monitor him, and this time, he was even more suspicious.
"Ying Gongzi, I don't know what kind of beautiful scenery you want to see?" Bai Rao said with a smile, "This valley is snowy and very boring, although the valley is full of spring, but it is also full of people, and the people of the raccoon tribe are afraid of life, for fear that it will disturb their life and rest." However, there is a thousand-year-old cold pool, where the scenery is beautiful, I guess the prince must like it!"
Purple Shadow smiled politely, "I'm tired of Miss Bai Rao leading the way." ”
The group had just walked out of the door not far away, but they saw Fire Dance rushing towards them. "Childe, weaving snow ...... she"
Seeing Huo Wu spitting like this, Zi Ying's heart was immediately pinched, and he grabbed Huo Wu's arm, "What's wrong with Weaving Snow?"
"I found a cloak of snow weaving on the edge of a steep cliff. Huo Wu handed the cloak in his hand to Purple Shadow, and the white cloak was stained with a large patch of bright red blood, and the red color was shocking.
Purple Shadow's hands trembled, he dragged the fire dance, and stammered when he spoke, "Quick... Take me to ......."
Huo Wu looked at Purple Shadow's dejected appearance, and frowned slightly, "Yes!"
The group was led by Huo Wu to the edge of a cliff, the sky was snowing heavily, and only a bare tree on the edge of the cliff was covered in snowflakes, and there was no trace on the ground.
Purple Shadow looked down the cliff, but was tightly pulled by Fire Dance, "Childe be careful, all we are stepping on is ice." ”
Looking down, the gray under the cliff was not clear, and the large snowflakes did not fly, but fell straight down. It was as if there was a whirlpool beneath the cliff, attracting and engulfing all the falling objects.
"I'll go find her!" Purple Shadow broke away from the fire dance, insisting on going her own way.
Bai Rao stopped him, "Childe, such a big snow, you better go back to the valley with us first, I believe that the people of our raccoon clan must be more clever than you in this snowy mountain, Childe should not risk his life, go back and wait for news!"
Purple Shadow didn't listen to it and insisted on leaving. "I'm going to find her myself!"
Seeing that persuasion was useless, Bai Rao took out a white pill from the sachet he was wearing, and crushed it into foam with a gentle pinch. With a slight wave of his sleeves, Ziying smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms, and his whole consciousness gradually became heavy, and then he fell asleep.
Huo Wu hugged the purple shadow who was about to fall, and glared at Bai Rao, "Why are you doing this?"
Bai Rao put away the sachet in her hand and smiled: "I'm helping you! If you don't want your son-in-law to freeze to death, take him back now." A mere mortal man is vainly trying to fight against heaven and earth. If it's really a good thing to freeze, and my sister's task can't be completed within the time limit, then it's a pity. ”
Huo Wu hesitated, and Zhiyu also added, "Childe's new injury has only healed recently, and he really can't be cold." Huo Wu, you can take Childe back first!"
Only then did Huo Wu lean on her and follow Bai Rao back.
Bai Rao, who was walking in front, looked at Huo Wu's face with a look of incredulity, "I heard that the ghost spirit is cold-blooded and ruthless, you are an exception! Your son-in-law is so nervous about that Zhixue, I'm afraid that Zhixue is the person on the tip of your son-in-law's heart, right?"
Seeing that Huo Wu didn't answer, she said again: "I really don't understand, he must be dead if he goes to such a heavy snowfall, I helped you save his life, why do you still seem to be angry with me?"
Huo Wu said coldly, "Are you afraid that he will find out the secret of your raccoon clan!"
Bai Rao was shocked, "You keep quiet." When I looked back, I saw that Zhiyu didn't follow, and was still in a daze at the cliff, and my heart was a little lighter. "You'd better stop talking nonsense, you know, my sister has a hundred ways to kill you!"
"You don't need to be reminded all the time. Fire Dance didn't want to look at her, "As long as Childe is safe and sound, everything else has nothing to do with me." ”
Bai Rao smiled after listening to her words, she knew that Huo Wu would do what she said. In this way, she was relieved.
"I haven't seen you have had so many emotions before, haven't you followed people for a long time and treated yourself as a human being?" Bai Rao's words seemed to be carrying a knife every word.
She had heard her sister say that charm is ruthless and loveless to be so powerful, but she found many details from the moment she saw Huo Wu today, which made her wonder, Huo Wu's every move, word and deed, and even had a lot of subtle expressions on her face!
"Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. An unknown smile rose at the corner of Huo Wu's mouth, "The cats and dogs will understand your mind after a long time, won't they?"
Bai Rao paused, looking at Huo Wu's empty eyes and the smile on her face as before, she suddenly felt an inexplicable nervousness, and said faintly: "You don't have a heart." ”
Huo Wu didn't answer her words, but said something else, "Let's arrange for more little foxes to go out to search for news about Zhixue and Childe's father! If not, Emperor Yan has a million loyal male soldiers, although he can't annihilate you in one fell swoop, the mutual protection and balance will also make you exhausted. ”
She glanced at Bai Rao, but she couldn't see emotion in her eyes: "So, the contract is just the beginning." Zhixue and the master must be intact, so that the son will be a messenger for you with peace of mind. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid you're just starting it, and it's already over. ”
There was obvious anger in Bai Rao's eyes, but he couldn't bear it. This ghost, although he has no heart, but his brain is too flexible! I have known her since childhood, although the two are playmates, they often fight each other, occasionally tear each other, and even more, the two are even more competitive in martial arts. The white demon didn't want to be subservient, and she thought about another topic.
"If nothing else, there is one thing that I am very confused about. Bai Rao quickened her pace to catch up with Fire Dance and walked side by side with her. "No one ever comes near this cliff. That weaving snow... Did you really fall from here?"
This cliff has been covered with ice and snow for hundreds of years, and under the cliff is the largest mirror glacial lake in Baiqi Mountain, which is connected to the magic forest and is a forbidden area. If you fall and fall to death, you will be frozen to death, and if you don't freeze, you will be eaten by the demons in the demon forest.
Moreover, the ice here is often loose, and the White Demon has already ordered that no white raccoon people are allowed to approach, not to mention that there is a dangerous sign around it.
Could it be that this weaving snow ran over and jumped down by herself, bent on death?
Fire Dance's eyelids twitched, and the expression on her face didn't change in the slightest, "I just found her clothes here." As if to avoid something, she stopped talking.
Bai Rao felt the change in Huo Wu's mood and was full of doubts. It seems that she has to ask her sister immediately, this matter is not sloppy.
Zhiyu, who didn't follow everyone back, glanced at the bottom of the cliff, wrapped the fur coat he was wearing tightly, and walked along the edge of the cliff to the bottom of the cliff.
His hands were already frozen and unconscious, and after walking in the white snow for a long time, Zhiyu felt that his eyes could not see clearly.
It was getting late, but the valley was still bright under the snow. He walked for most of the day without reaching the mirror lake, and his physical strength was already overdrawn.
Zhiyu knelt down in the snow on both knees, and the whole person fell. Consciousness was chaotic, allowing a group of white raccoons to bite his clothes and drag them back.
