Chapter Seventy-Five: Bad News
The northwestern border of the daughter country, the most upstream of the Zimu River, is lined with high mountains, barren grass, and inaccessible.
In order to avoid people's eyes, Ye Qingfeng and the others crossed the river at the top of the Zimu River before they came here to temporarily station.
The sun is shining, the wind is howling, it's cold here, but luckily everyone has mana, otherwise they wouldn't be able to stay in the wild for long.
Mu Zibai's expression was not good-looking, his brows were furrowed tightly, and he sat on the boulder as if he was thinking about something.
Bai Wuwu and Xue Qianhiro chased each other in the distance, and it seemed that they were arguing again.
Hua Jieyu sat next to Mu Zibai, looking at his expression, she couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter?
Mu Zibai nodded and said, "I'm a little uneasy, this situation rarely happens to me, I'm afraid there will be a problem on the side of the flowing fire." ”
"Is this the sign of good and bad that your clear Dao mind can sense?"
Hua Xie Yu smiled: "It's very interesting, but it's already here, what's the point of worrying? The flowing fire has the Xuanyuan Sword Spirit, and even the white-clothed demon can resist for a moment, so that his life will not be in danger. ”
Mu Zibai said lightly: "The sword spirit also needs to accumulate energy, the last time the Xuanyuan Sword consumed so much, this time it may not be able to be sacrificed, if there is really danger, it can only depend on their creation." ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Lin Shuangyue: "Can you let the nine-headed bird sense it, its perception ability is stronger than mine." ”
"I've already asked. ”
Ling Shuangyue smiled reluctantly and said, "The birds can't sense anything, this matter may be too complicated." ”
Ye Qingfeng said: "Let's take one step at a time, if it doesn't work, let's go find Jiang Hongying, I don't believe that her daughter is in deep danger, she can see death and not save her." ”
"My daughter is in danger, and I certainly won't die without help. ”
A cold voice suddenly sounded, and I saw a burst of red light between heaven and earth, and a powerful coercion rolled up the barren grass in the sky, and a beautiful woman was already standing on the ground in front of her.
Ye Qingfeng and the others stood up instantly, and suddenly looked ahead, only to see that this woman was about in her early thirties, her eyes were like stars, her phoenix eyebrows were raised, her face was as white as jade, her lips were red as blood, she was wearing a big cloak with dark flowers on a red background, white hair on the edges, and a palace dress and a phoenix crown headdress, looking majestic and solemn.
She stepped forward, and the debris of the wild grass under her feet flew away automatically, and the momentum was really rare.
"Empress Jiuli?"
Ling Shuangyue's brows furrowed, and then she smiled: "The junior has seen the Empress of Jiuli. ”
Jiang Hongying glanced at everyone coldly, and then smiled lightly: "The six of you are talents, no wonder you can stir up the storm in the land of my daughter's country." ”
When she said this, everyone couldn't tell whether her expression was laughing or angry.
Ling Shuangyue said with a smile: "The Empress is serious, we just want to do our part for the world, since Her Majesty the Empress is here, you might as well talk about the Kui Niu clan, we can also have a judgment." ”
"Hmph, the disciple of Guanyin Bodhisattva is also generous. ”
Jiang Hongying said lightly: "It's complicated to say it's complicated, it's simple to say it's simple, you also know that if something happens to the Qingqiu Emperor's Mausoleum, once the chaotic qi spreads out, my daughter's country is probably going to be burned, so I sent the Kui Niu clan to guard it." ”
"I have been protecting the Kui Niu clan in Jiuli for thousands of years, and this group of beasts doesn't know what to do, and when a few people die, they are dissatisfied and want to rebel and leave my Jiuli. ”
Her tone was cold, as if she didn't seem to be emotional, and continued: "Originally, they still lacked a little courage, but after Cangming and Morinda went to heaven last year, they told them the secret method of the Kui Niu Totem Holy Beast, that is, the resurrection of the Kui Niu Ancestor, which finally gave them the confidence to rebel. ”
Mu Zibai frowned: "Resurrect the Kui Niu Ancestor?"
"There is indeed a secret method. ”
Jiang Hongying said: "Don't look at the current Kui Niu clan is not strong, that's because their divine beast bloodline is already very thin, the ancestors of Kui Niu back then were ancient divine beasts, and they were accompanied by thunder in the sky when they entered and exited the water, which was comparable to the existence of a true god." After resurrecting this Kui Niu Ancestor, they can naturally break free from the shackles of my Jiuli. ”
Ye Qingfeng and the others glanced at each other, and their hearts couldn't help but sink, if this true god-level Kui Niu ancestor was really resurrected, he was bound to fight with Jiuli, and the daughter country would probably also fall into war.
Hua Xie Yu sighed and said: "It means that in order to stop the Kui Niu clan from rebelling, it is necessary to prevent them from resurrecting the Kui Niu Ancestor, but we are not clear about the details of the resurrection of the Kui Niu Ancestor, and it is not easy to deal with it." ”
Jiang Hongying said calmly: "They found four braziers, don't ask me what braziers they are, I don't know, anyway, these four braziers can form a blood sacrifice ceremony, use the heavenly fire to light the four braziers, and sacrifice with fresh life and blood, you can resurrect the ancestor of Kui Niu." ”
She looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "As long as they can stop their plan to resurrect the Kui Niu Ancestor, this problem will be solved, because without the Ancestor, the Kui Niu clan is not strong." And to stop them from resurrecting the Kui Niu Ancestor, the first thing to do is to destroy the fire spirits in the four braziers, or to find the Heavenly Fire first. ”
Mu Zibai said: "I understand, either destroy the brazier, or find the heavenly fire first, without any of these, the Kui Niu tribe will not be able to resurrect the Kui Niu ancestor." ”
That's what it means. ”
Jiang Hongying nodded and continued: "Now the Jiuli clan has too much opinion of me and too strong resistance, it is inconvenient for me to come forward, since you want to participate in this matter, then I will leave it to you to do a good job." ”
Speaking of this, she laughed again: "But don't worry, I will help you in secret, even if it is for my daughter, right?"
As she spoke, she turned around slowly, flew into the sky, and disappeared from the end of sight, only to finally her voice came out again: "Your friend has been caught, hurry up." ”
The last sentence shocked Ye Qingfeng and the others, and they looked at the sky in shock.
What do you mean? Drift Fire has been caught? It's only been a short time since I've been in.
At the beginning of the matter, there was such a big setback, so that everyone really couldn't react, so that no one thought more about Jiang Hongying's purpose.
Xue Qianxun was stunned and said: "According to the meaning of Jiang Hongying's words, it seems that Sister Shuxue is safe, the two are obviously together, how can only one be arrested." ”
"What? Do you want to be caught both?"
Bai Wuwu also interjected, so angry that Xue Qianxun suddenly jumped up.
"Okay, don't argue yet, let's get down to business. ”
Hua Jieyu waved his hand to stop it, and said solemnly: "It should be discovered, the flowing fire attracts people's attention, help Sister Shuxue buy time, and now Sister Shuxue should see the Great Elder, but the flowing fire may have fallen into the hands of Ruan Tiewu." ”
Ling Shuangyue said: "First sneak in and join Sister Shuxue, then inquire about the location of the flowing fire, rescue them, and pay attention to the situation of the four braziers at the same time, and find an opportunity to destroy them." ”
"That's it. ”
Ye Qingfeng said directly and loudly: "Without further ado, let's set off immediately." ”
Mu Zibai said: "Don't worry, the target of our entry like this is too big, too easy to expose, it is best to use the Seventy-two Transformation Technique to cover up the identity and quietly blend in in batches." ”
"Yes, both of them have been discovered, not to mention that there are so many of us, using seventy-two changes is the best way. ”
Speaking of this, Hua Xie Yu thought for a while, and then continued: "It is difficult for Senior Brother Mu to change all of us at once, so the mana consumption is too great, let's group it in twos and twos, sneak in in three batches, and make a good mark on the road." ”
"Agreed. ”
Ling Shuangyue said: "Senior Brother Ye and I will go in first, how do you divide it?"
Bai Wuwu hurriedly said loudly: "I'm in a group with the little fox." ”
"No way!"
Mu Zibai, Hua Jieyu and Ling Shuangyue spoke out at the same time, and refused without hesitation.
Hua Xie said: "I don't worry about you two in a group, I am in a group with Sister Chihiro, Senior Brother Bai and Senior Brother Mu in a group." ”
Bai Wuwu patted Ye Qingfeng's shoulder and said in a low voice: "What does this mean... You can't be saying that the little fox and I are too stupid, right?"
Ye Qingfeng said: "Don't doubt it, that's what it means." ”
Bai Wuwu sighed helplessly, wanting to explain something, but looking at everyone's expressions, it was obvious that explanation would not be useful.
So the plan came out quickly, with Ye Qingfeng and Ling Shuangyue in a group, taking the Death Knight in first, and the nine-headed bird stayed here, ready to be dispatched at any time.
Then a group of Hua Jieyu and Xue Qianxun went in with the little sheep, Bai Wuwu and Mu Zibai were the last group, leaving the ghost tiger and then going in, and the ghost tiger found an opportunity to sneak in from other routes.
Make signs on the road, and confirm your identity with three shouts from low to high when you meet, and ensure safety in case of emergency, even if your identity is exposed.
Hearing the bad news of the flowing fire, everyone was more cautious about this matter, and after everything was ready, Mu Zibai cast a spell to turn Ye Qingfeng and Ling Shuangyue into two Kui Oxen and sent them to the north.
All the way to the north, it gets colder and colder, and the terrain is more and more complicated, here the plains are exhausted, the square is into the hills, the trees are dry like swords, the fallen leaves under the feet are thick, and the smell of decay is everywhere.
Glancing at Ling Shuangyue, Ye Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh, there are always many wonderful experiences in life, maybe becoming a cow is one of them.
"Don't laugh, make a good sign. ”
Ling Shuangyue snorted, but it was still the same bull face, which made Ye Qingfeng laugh even louder.
"Just let me laugh for a while, it's better than waiting for a while. ”
Ye Qingfeng's oxtail swayed, and gently bumped Ling Shuangyue with his body, Ling Shuangyue snorted and bumped back, perhaps because of the big difference in experience, Ling Shuangyue was not as restrained as usual, and at this moment her lively heart was released.
The two of them walked and laughed all the way, and when they were about to approach the Kui Niu tribe, they quieted down, did not speak, and walked forward silently.
This is an endless mountain range, the mountain is not high, less than a kilometer, in the northernmost border of the daughter country, and then to the north is the vast snow-capped mountains, the polar north of the underworld.
Seven or eight minutes up the mountainside is covered with snow, but down the coniferous forest is extremely dense, although some of them are bald branches, but still give people an inexplicable vitality, perhaps this is the vitality of the cold region.
The walls of the mountains are less soil and more rocky, and you can see huge and creative caves, large clearings, rough buildings in the saddle of the mountains, and small lakes filled with water in the low-lying areas.
This is the Kui Niu tribe, it is not cold here, perhaps because of the earth fire, Ye Qingfeng even noticed that there are several lakes that are hot springs at all.
There is heat and breeze wafting from the cave, and the interior must be warm, dry and airy, which is indeed very suitable for the cow to live.
As for those simple buildings and wooden buildings, they must have been built by the Jiuli clan for them, although they are simple, but they are atmospheric, and only the high-rise of the Kui Niu clan should be qualified to live.
In such a complex place, it was very difficult to find Jiang Shuxue when Ye Qingfeng and the others did not understand the terrain at all.
It doesn't look harmonious here, and it even gives people a sense of slaughter, there are Kui Niu guards at the entrance of each big cave, and their eyes are cold, as if in wartime, which makes Ye Qingfeng and the others have no idea where to start.
They also don't understand the language of the Kui Niu people, so they can't communicate at all.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind: "What are you two doing!"
Ye Qingfeng and Ling Shuangyue's bodies froze suddenly, and they almost broke out in a cold sweat for a moment, could it be that they were discovered? This is the language of the people, not the language of the Kui Niu clan.
The two of them turned around slowly, and immediately saw a Kui Niu standing upright, about one and a half feet high, with a tall posture, muscles bulging like a dragon, still with a cow's face, but his eyes were blood-red, full of bloodthirsty breath.
Feeling the other party's powerful momentum, Ye Qingfeng knew that he should be the more powerful mana of the Kui Niu clan, so his body gradually stood upright to achieve the maximum combat effect.
It is not surprising that such a strong man can speak human words, and the Kui Niu clan can understand human speech, but there is nothing unreasonable.
It's just that Ye Qingfeng and Ling Shuangyue are embarrassed by the fact that they don't understand the language of the Kui Niu clan, and they don't dare to speak human words, so I'm afraid they are going to show their stuff at this moment.
