Hearing Hu Sheng's sincere words, Hu Bing was quite moved, and his voice seemed a little choked.

"Uncle Sheng, thank you for supporting me so sparingly. Bing'er will definitely revitalize my Hu clan in the future, so that the world will know that my Hu clan bloodline is in no way inferior to the Zhu clan. ”

Hu Sheng laughed and praised: "With ambition, our Hu family finally has a promising person, and the future of the Hu family will be handed over to you, and there will be no pressure." ”

Hu Bing shook his head and said seriously: "How can there be pressure? Uncle Sheng, you can rest assured, I am fully prepared to come back this time." Let me take a break today, and tomorrow will be this time, I will come to Uncle Sheng again and tell you all about my experience over the years and my next plans. ”

"Okay, you must be very tired from coming from the Soul Cult, so let's go and have a good rest today, and discuss anything together tomorrow." Hu Sheng also noticed a hint of exhaustion in Hu Bing's expression, so he said.

Hu Bing then said goodbye to Hu Sheng and returned home alone. As a cultivator whose strength had already surpassed that of the Eight Tails, how could she easily show her tiredness? What Hu Sheng saw was actually Hu Bing's slightly decadent expression.

After returning home, the first thing Hu Bing did was to sit on the collapse and enter a meditative state, completely adjusting his mind and calming his mind, so as not to affect his next plans. After precipitating all the accumulated negative emotions, Hu Bing remembered today's conversation with Hu Sheng.

"Could it be that the demon beast that took my father's life is really Qiqi? But in the legend, Qiqi is fierce and unusual, and likes to eat people, how can he easily let go of the villagers who escaped? All this may only be answered by climbing the Misty Peak himself. Hu Bing thought secretly.

Although Hu Bing knew that with his own cultivation, he could not be the opponent of the ancient fierce beast Qi, once the demon beast entrenched on the misty peak was really Qiqi, it would be equivalent to trespassing on the territory of the ancient fierce beast, and it was very likely that there would be no return. But the desire to avenge his father gradually completely overwhelmed the sense of fear, "If you don't take a look now, you may not have any chance in the future," Hu Bing hinted to himself in his heart.

After silently encouraging himself in his heart, Hu Bing finally decided to take a risk and go to the Misty Peak to explore.

At dusk that day, Hu Bing left the village and came to the misty peak in the east of the village, which was not a few points shorter than the Blue Dome Peak and was also towering into the clouds.

As soon as he went up the mountain, Hu Bing felt that something was not right, only that the mountain was not only covered with thick fog, and he couldn't see the road ahead, but also the yin qi was extremely heavy. It's spring, and the temperature is getting warmer, but it's like deep winter in the mountains, and it's cold to the bone. A strong wind blew, and Hu Bing felt that the blood in his body was about to condense.

"What the hell is this place? Why is the environment so bad, like going to the underworld. Does my father have to hunt in this environment on a daily basis?"

It's no wonder that Hu Bing has such a question, this kind of ghost place is quite uncomfortable even for a person with a very high cultivation like her, not to mention her father, who has never been able to break through to the four-tailed realm in his life. Hu Bing now finally understands her father's hardships as a hunter.

"Normally it's colder on the mountain than in the plains, but it's never that exaggerated, and this misty peak doesn't look simple. This trip up the mountain may really be a bad decision, and the next action must be doubly cautious

Finish. ”

Hu Bing is also quite apprehensive at the moment, although he will not flee immediately, but his fear of the unknown is deepening.

From the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, Hu Bing walked very carefully at every step, and she constantly looked around along the way, using her spiritual power perception to the extreme, covering a radius of almost 100 zhang, so as not to be suddenly attacked by demon beasts.

This kind of heart-pounding feeling she has rarely encountered before, and now she values her net worth and life very seriously for the word "revenge", so she has also become a victim of gains and losses, after all, once she falls, she will forever lose the opportunity to take revenge.

Although he had walked for so long, the cold aura around him had not weakened for a moment, but Hu Bing had not experienced any dangerous situations, and the traces of the demon beast were clueless.

But when Hu Bing climbed to the top of the mountain, the fog that had been wrapping around finally dissipated, and the image of a demon beast suddenly appeared in front of Hu Bing's eyes.

At this moment, Hu Bing felt that her heart stopped beating for half a beat, and this was the first time in her life that she felt a visual shock.

It was a very large tiger, about five times the size of a normal tiger, its fur was as bright red as a burning fire, and it had a pair of wings as black as ink on its back, which were probably more than ten feet wide when stretched out, and almost covered half of the mountain.

Although it did not have the word "king" on its forehead, the deep light released from its eyes and the majestic majesty revealed from its body all showed its supremacy in the demon beast world.

"No wonder I haven't been able to sense the fluctuation of its spiritual power, the Qi Qi realm, which is one of the four fierce beasts, has reached the Golden Immortal, which is many times more than I know, how can I detect it with my humble perception ability? ”

A glimmer of despair surged in Hu Bing's heart, and the feeling of oppression brought to her by Qiqi made her legs weak and almost unable to move.

Qi Qi's pair of tiger eyes glanced at her at this moment, staring at Hu Bing up and down a few times.

At this time, Hu Bing felt that Qi Qi was already thinking about where to start, so he simply closed his eyes and waited for death. Anyway, in the face of Qi Qi, whose strength is like a gap with her, she will not have a chance to resist.

Unexpectedly, Qi Qi not only did not pounce, but instead spoke.

"Little girl, did you come here to seek revenge on my father?"

Qi Qi's voice seemed to be a middle-aged man with vicissitudes, hoarse and low, full of breath, deafening but not uncomfortable.

Hu Bing's eyes immediately widened when he heard this, and his face was full of astonishment and asked, "You... How can you speak?"

Qi Qi laughed loudly: "Hahaha... It's really interesting for the little girl to speak, you can talk as a fox spirit who has lived for less than seven hundred years, why can't I, as one of the four fierce beasts?"

"Are you really Qiqi?"

"It's like a fake. ”

Hu Bing saw that this poor qi didn't seem to have the idea of treating herself as food, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and her fear gradually disappeared, she even took a few steps forward, closer to poor qi, and then asked again: "In the book, it is said that you have an extremely murderous personality and careless regard for human life, but now it doesn't look like it, are those books all casual."

Written out?"

Qi Qi shook his wings, and said lightly: "Not all history books can be completely trusted, even the most fiery gluttonous among our four brothers will not casually mutilate living beings." ”

"Then why did you kill my father? He was just going up to the mountains to hunt, and he could never interfere with you. Hu Bing asked.

"Do you know the true identity of the four fierce beasts? Do you know why this misty peak is so heavy with yin qi?" Qi Qi did not answer Hu Bing's question, but asked back.

"How would I know?"

"The four fierce beasts are the guardians of the Nine Shadows, when the underworld is in turmoil, our value can be reflected, usually we are resident in the underworld, and rarely come out to appear in front of people, so most of the records of us in the history books are very one-sided, including all kinds of speculation. ”

"I see, but what does this have to do with you killing my father, and why are you here?" Hu Bing's doubts were still unsolved, so he continued to ask.

"Little girl, listen to me. More than 100 years ago, the disciple of Nuwa Niangniang, the sage of the Wa Palace, came to the underworld to find us and others, saying that there was a task to be assigned to us, but only one person was needed to carry it out. Among the four fierce beasts, only my personality is relatively calm, so I was promoted, and it was this task that brought me to this misty peak, waiting for an opportunity here, but I didn't expect that waiting would be a hundred years. Qi Qi sighed.

"What kind of task is it, and what kind of opportunity are you waiting for?" Hu Bing's curiosity was aroused again when he heard this.

"The task is yours, and the chance is you. Qi Qi suddenly changed his words and laughed.

"What? It's me, what are you kidding?" Hu Bing's tone was full of suspicion, thinking that Qi Qi was teasing her.

Qi Qi did not directly answer Hu Bing's question, but said to himself: "Thousands of years ago, the two volumes of the Purple Mansion were lost in the world, waiting for someone destined to read them. These two books of the Upper Realm Treasure were later obtained by the Sanqingmen patriarch Chonghua Zhenren, who had been enlightened for a long time but could not fully comprehend it, but also relied on the knowledge obtained from it to achieve great achievements on the way of cultivation, and later created the first major sect of Sanqingmen. Later, for some reason, the two volumes of this Purple Mansion actually fell into the hands of Zhu Huan, the ancestor of the Chongling Sect, and were stored in the Forbidden Secret Pavilion within the sect, and now..."

After a pause, Qi Qi said word by word: "It should be on you." ”

Hu Bing's face turned pale suddenly, and he exclaimed: "You actually want to fight the idea of the two volumes of the Purple Mansion, and you want me to hand over the two volumes of secret notes to you?"

Qi Qi shook his huge tiger head and denied, "Wrong! That's not yours, but you stole it from the Soul Cult." The task assigned to me by Nuwa Niangniang's disciple is for me to take back the two volumes of the Purple Mansion from you and return them to the Upper Realm. ”

"Don't you think!" Hu Bing worked hard to steal the book from the Forbidden Secret Pavilion, but now that Qi Qi asked her to hand it over, how could she be convinced in her heart, and she suddenly choked angrily, but she forgot who was talking to her at this time.

"Little girl, you're pretty stubborn, but do you think you're my opponent? I can easily take your storage bag with no effort as long as I knock you out. Qi Qi said disdainfully.

Hu Bing was speechless for a moment, because what Qi Qi said was true, and he had no room to resist at all.
