Chapter 21: A Good Show!
"Of course, my father has agreed, and he also asked me to say hello to your old man, saying that he will invite you to the land of the dragon vein one day to enlighten together!"
She smiled, and as she spoke, she ran to the old man and reached out to touch the cloth bag.
But the old man seemed to have taken precautions, and immediately turned the cloth bag around, so that it did not succeed.
"Hmph... Ghost girl, I want to get something out of my cloth bag, last time I accidentally took a heavenly spirit fruit from you, don't want to touch my cloth bag again, to tell you the truth, this trip to Daohai is not an ordinary play, but dangerous, you have to be mentally prepared, although there is an old man, but in case of emergency, you will be in danger, it is better to be safe in this imperial city. ”
"No, I'm going to go, they're not afraid, I'm not afraid!"
"It seems that your father is very relieved about your trip this time, but don't think that Creation will take the initiative to find you, this Dao Sea tide is a once-in-a-century encounter, and there is also a Supreme Dao Source in the world, the battle will be extremely fierce, at that time, even if you have the dignity of a princess, you will also have trouble!" The old man looked serious and said lightly.
"I know, I expected this, thousands of creations, only fate!" she spoke, her eyes blinked, and a hint of cunning flashed.
"Girl, can you hug this tiger for me, my old man's age, I don't even have a pet beast, it's a big pity. ”
The old man's words turned, his eyes looked at the purple tiger on the shoulder of the ninth princess, and smiled slightly.
But this gaze fell on the purple tiger, but it made it a spirit, as if facing the oppression of thousands of mountains, as if the secrets of the whole body were known, as if one finger of this old man could kill himself, he couldn't help but tremble, and there was a strong fear in his purple eyes.
"No, Xiaozi is the only one I can hold, no one else!"
She also noticed Xiao Zi's nervousness, and immediately refused the old man's request.
"Hey, people are old, unlikable, even the little guy hates me, I knew that I would trample the earthworm to death on the way here, if I hadn't seen it fight with a demon beast, I was interested, so I observed for a long time, and then I forgot the hour, if I stepped on the earthworm to death, it would have arrived. ”
The old man sighed for a while, and his face showed regret.
"Hehe, old man, you're joking again, who can earthworms fight with? I haven't seen it, but I've seen ants and elephants fight. The ninth princess didn't believe what the old man said, and said with a smile.
Everyone listened to the conversation between the old and the young, and did not dare to interject, but just smiled and listened. After all, one has a noble status, and the other has an eccentric temper.
"Okay, I can't talk about you, ghost girl, let's go, it's not too early. The old man put away his smile and said seriously.
Zhou Qian knew that he was about to set off, and the feeling of parting could not help but rise in his heart, and there were tears in his eyes.
"Qian'er, this time you have to ensure your own safety, creation is secondary, don't take it by force. Zhou Zhen looked at his son and instructed carefully. After speaking, he took out a purple jade pendant from his body and put it in Zhou Qian's hand.
"This is a spiritual jade pendant, it is a life-saving thing for your father, it can help you save the day, although there is the protection of the old-timers, but it is better to be more prepared. ”
Zhou Qian looked at the jade pendant engraved with the word Qian, and there was a surge of warmth in his heart, he knelt down towards his father, kowtowed, and then stood up suddenly, his eyes were full of determination, this time he must find creation.
But he didn't notice that the first white hair appeared on Zhou Zhen's head, with his cultivation, even if he passed another Jiazi, he would not grow gray hair, but after taking out the jade pendant, it made this moment earlier, and he spent cultivation, almost at the cost of Shouyuan, that is, to leave a back hand for his son, although he hoped that this jade pendant would never be used.
When Zhou Qian was ready, everyone else was almost the same, Helian Peng had an extra black eagle on his shoulder, which was his father Helian Zhuo's beloved beast, and it seemed that he was also prepared.
The most surprising thing is Qu Kai, he has changed the most, his whole body is equipped with weapons, he holds a sword in his left hand, a knife in his right hand, a dagger hanging from his waist, a black cloak on his head, and a cauldron on his back, all black, which is extremely conspicuous in the sun.
"Sure enough, they are wealthy, those are not ordinary soldiers, they are treasures!"
Zhou Qian looked at Qu Kai's posture, and he looked like don't mess with me, otherwise he will kill you with a weapon.
As for the Ninth Princess, there is no need to think about it, her backhand preparation is undoubtedly the most and the most secure among the four, but it doesn't seem to have changed at all, she still smiles, and pulls Xiao Zi's forehead from time to time.
There were about ten soldiers following this time, after all, it is easy to attract attention when there are many people, and it will even attract the attention of robbers and thieves, so including Zhou Qian's four people and the mysterious old man, there are only fifteen people in total.
Because of the long distance, the group of people all rode horses, Zhou Qian sat on Dabai's back, with a natural expression, looked back and signaled to his father, and set off with the group......
And at this moment, in the depths of the Tianze Imperial Palace, in a huge underground palace, this underground palace is extremely gray, there seems to be no life fluctuations, although it is magnificent and huge, but it is full of rich dead air, and there is a futon in its center, on which a figure sits motionless, as if seated. Suddenly, the figure opened its eyes, and suddenly the dead air in the dungeon surged, as if it had been summoned, and poured into the figure's body.
"Sure enough, this fate is not so simple, it's my obsession, hey...."The figure sighed, and the dead air coiled around its body, lingering.
"King, it's death!"
He sighed again, but then stood up, and the moment he stood up, the whole dungeon lit up, and there were eighteen oil lamps on the walls, all around, but only sixteen were lit at the moment, and the remaining two were extinguished.
As the dungeon was illuminated, this figure became clearer and clearer, it was a majestic figure dressed in a purple gold emperor's robe, although there was no imperial crown, but it was still the emperor's spirit, that was Emperor Ze!
His face was slightly bitter at the moment, as if there was something unspeakable.
"Go, go... Protect her. ”
He spoke lightly, and a nine-inch golden dragon flew out of his body, hovered for a moment, and then disappeared.
As the golden dragon flew out, his body trembled, and the oil lamp on the wall went out again, and when he saw the oil lamp go out, he shook his head and sat down again. At this time, all the oil lamps were extinguished, and the dungeon was gray again...
"Hey, old man, how long is it going, it's been three hours, and there's not even a figure, are you pointing the wrong way? The ninth princess hugged Xiao Zi and complained with a small mouth.
"Silly girl, don't talk nonsense, when will I be wrong, old man, I am a fairy, I know everything, I know everything, in three days, it will be almost there, it's still early." ”
The old man was at the front of the group, riding a horse slowly, drinking wine, not impatient at all, taking out a kind of spiritual fruit from the cloth bag from time to time, and eating it one bite at a time.
Zhou Qian followed behind him, feeling that the old man seemed to have something on his mind, as if he was waiting for something.
After another two hours, the old man stopped, in front of him was a forest, the ancient trees were towering to the sky, as far as the eye could see, Zhou Qian couldn't help but sigh at the magic of nature when he saw such a large forest.
"Okay, just rest here for a while, I'm a little hungry, go find something to eat, you don't set foot in the forest without permission, tell you that there are ghosts in this forest!"
The old man laughed, and with one step, he disappeared without a trace, frightening everyone and not daring to take half a step closer to the forest.
"Hmph, the old man will deceive people, what kind of ghosts, there are ghosts in your heart, Xiaozi, are you afraid of ghosts?"
The ninth princess pinched the absent-minded Xiao Zi and asked in a low voice. She found that Xiao Zi's state was a little wrong along the way, usually she was jumping up and down, but now she was lying quietly on her shoulder, and her two eyelids were constantly fighting.
She is the princess, the status is respected, and she doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, since the old man said that there are ghosts in the forest, it's okay not to say it, as soon as she said that she came to the spirit, she wanted to find out.
As for Zhou Gan, they didn't dare to step forward to stop them, after all, no one wanted to touch the moldy head of the nine princesses, let alone those soldiers, but for the sake of safety, Zhou Qian followed, so as not to really have ghosts, otherwise she would definitely faint with fright.
The ninth princess cautiously approached the forest, and when she got closer, the forest was extremely dense, covering the sky and the sun, and there was almost no sunlight, although it was daytime at this time, but there were bursts of cold air from this forest, turning into a fog shroud, making people feel cold down their spines. And there was not a single sound, no noise, not even a birdsong, and the silence was terrible.
"Xiao Zi, did you say there are ghosts here?" At this time, she also seemed to be a little scared, but she didn't show it, and she was still calm.
Xiao Zi's expression was a little tangled, a pair of purple eyes kept looking at this forest, as if there was emotion, and when he looked at his master, there was a trace of guilt, as if he didn't dare to look at him, just a glance, he immediately lowered his head and lay quietly on his shoulder.
"Hey, Xiao Zi, look, there is a night pearl in the forest!"
Suddenly, she let out a soft sigh and noticed that there were two things in the forest that resembled the pearls of the night, glowing green, almost the size of a fist, and they stood out in the deep forest.
As soon as Xiao Zi saw this green light, she immediately jumped off the shoulders of the Ninth Princess, and instantly became larger, turning into a purple tiger, the stripes on her body flashed, the tiger's eyes were hideous, staring at the green light fiercely, and roared.
The Ninth Princess was shocked, Xiao Zi would only be like this when she encountered danger, could it be that this forest was really strange! She wanted to retreat, but when she saw what the green light was, her heart was shocked, her mind was blank, and she didn't know what to do. Where is the pearl of the night, it is a pair of eyes, a pair of cold and bloodthirsty blue verticals.
It was a red-striped python, as thick as a bucket, and when the scales touched the earth, it made a 'snort~snort' sound, which made people's hairs stand on end, and the red stripes were full of bloodthirsty.
At this time, only Xiao Zi was by her side, although she had turned into ten zhang in size, she still looked very small in front of the giant python.
At this time, everyone saw this giant python, first surprised, then frightened, it was impossible not to be afraid, Zhou Qian was closest to the ninth princess, so he saw it more clearly, and deeply felt the sense of oppression given by this behemoth.
The giant python noticed Zhou Qian's existence at this time, and immediately stood up, looking down at him like a god, and the dark purple snake letter kept swallowing, as if choosing prey.
The black eagle on Helian Peng's shoulder is also hovering in the sky at this moment, also ten zhang in size, turning into a bird of prey, hissing in the sky above the giant python, as for Qu Kai, he even lifted the cauldron, as if he would detain himself at the bottom of the pot as long as there was danger. Although the soldiers were afraid, they did not flinch, and immediately protected Zhou Qian, including the Nine Princesses, forming a circle and guarding them tightly.
"Shhhh Sizzle"
The giant python looked down at everyone, and was about to open its bloody mouth and rush towards the ninth princess, at this time Xiao Zi roared and pounced directly, the giant python didn't have time to dodge, and its abdomen was cut by Xiao Zi's claws A deep hole, and more blood gushed and fell to the ground.
The giant python was in pain, its body rolled, and it immediately contracted to wrap Xiao Zi tightly, Xiao Zi had the power to fight in the face of other demon beasts, after all, it was the king of all beasts, but this giant python's body was flexible, and it was its nemesis.
Finally, he roared at its master, signaling to flee quickly, and now the target of the giant python is not the Nine Princesses, but it.
"Xiao Zi, why are you so stupid, if you can't beat it, you can run away, damn old man, it's always not there at a critical time, if he is there, this giant python can't be suppressed by raising his hand. After she saw Xiao Zi being entangled, her heart hurt very much, and she thought that no matter how she bullied her, she would not be angry, and at this time, in order to protect herself, she fought with her life, and couldn't help but regret it.
The python seemed to be very spiritual, and after a while, when Xiao Zi stopped struggling, he immediately stretched his body, spit out the snake letter, rolled up the wind and dust, covered the sky, and rushed towards the nine princesses, as if it had only one target, that is, the nine princesses.
Zhou Qian was startled and wanted to stop it, but obviously he didn't expect the giant python's intentions, so he was still one step slower!
"Ahh
Only a shout was heard, and everyone was horrified, if the princess had an accident, she would not be able to escape anyway.
"Well, you see, the princess seems to be fine!" said one of the soldiers.
After the dust dissipated, I saw that the ninth princess was safe and sound, but the giant python rolled to the ground and kept roaring.
"Look carefully, the princess has a little white wolf on her shoulder!" Everyone discussed, and Zhou Qian saw that the little thing was Xiaobai!
"This little guy is waiting for me here. Zhou Qian was overjoyed to see Xiaobai, but the most surprised was none other than the Ninth Princess.
She stared blankly at everything in front of her, staring at Xiaobai on her shoulder, and couldn't believe that Xiaobai, who she had been holding grudges every day, appeared again at this moment, and it was to help her get through the catastrophe.
"You..."
When the ninth princess was about to ask, Xiaobai's paws waved, as if to indicate that now was not the time to talk, a pair of purple and silver eyes looked at the giant python, without the slightest fear, but with a hint of contempt.
Suddenly, Xiaobai's eyes flickered, one was purple, the other was silver, his eyes looked at the sky, and there were two rays of light that went straight to the sky, and in an instant, the color of the sky and the earth changed, and a black canopy appeared, at this time it was obviously daytime, but at this moment, half of the sky was black, as if there was a knife splitting the sky and dividing it into black and white.
If only that's it, but there is a bright moon faintly in the black canopy, although it is very vague, it seems that it may collapse at any time.
The sun is blazing, the moon is soft, at this moment, the sun and the moon shine together!
"Hum... Hum..."
The sun and the moon each burst out with a light, one like fire, one like water, and bombarded the python.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the giant python's whole body became scorching, turning red, the scales fell off one by one, the entire huge body rolled on the ground, and his eyes became red, but he didn't continue to step forward, looking at Xiaobai coldly, full of fear.
But at this moment, the black eagle hovering in the sky, with a hiss, swooped down, and a pair of sharp claws grabbed the giant python fiercely, and the eagle claws touched the snake scales, making a sound of gold and stone, and even sparks. The grasp almost took away the scales and flesh, which made people look shocking.
The giant python had no fighting spirit at this time, and after a roar, it disappeared into the forest and disappeared.
With the disappearance of the giant python, the black canopy gradually faded, and Xiaobai's body trembled, as if the canopy just now had a great impact on it.
"Xiaobai, why are you here, do you know that I am in danger, so you follow all the way, just waiting to protect me, right?"
The ninth princess saw Xiaobai, who was slightly tired on her shoulder, and asked in a low voice.
"I know, you won't forget this princess, forget the previous things, oops, Xiaobai is so good!"
She originally wanted to teach Xiaobai a lesson immediately when she saw her, but at this moment, Xiaobai saved her, so forget it, she is not a person who cares, and the bottom line is that she can't suffer.
Xiaobai nodded obediently, glanced at Zhou Qian out of the corner of his eye, blinked, and then lay on the princess's shoulder, closed his eyes and recuperated.
Everyone couldn't believe their eyes, a small white wolf turned out to be a giant python, how could they not be shocked, they all felt that this wolf was not an ordinary beast, maybe it was a divine beast.
Helian Peng looked at the little wolf on the princess's shoulder, his heart sank, he obviously felt that it was extraordinary, his Helian family usually knew a lot about beasts, and there were countless rare beasts in the house, but this white wolf gave him an unusual feeling, and it seemed to have an indescribable meaning. The Black Hawk seemed to be afraid when he looked at it, and he didn't even dare to look at it.
Qu Kai also put away the cauldron and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"The scene just now is too dangerous, fortunately there is a treasure weapon to protect it, but that little wolf is indeed extraordinary. ”
"Oops, Xiao Zi, I forgot Xiao Zi again. The Ninth Princess suddenly remembered Xiao Zi's previous heroic actions to protect the lord, and her heart swelled with warmth.
At this moment, Xiao Zi has turned into two palms, about the same as Xiao Bai, but its eyelids are drooping, and it can't even walk steadily, as if it has fallen apart.
The ninth princess immediately stepped forward and took care of it in her arms. Xiao Zi was lying in the princess's arms, her eyes seemed to be able to squeeze out tears, and she felt a burst of emotion in her heart, as if everything was worth it.
But at this moment, no one noticed that Xiao Bai suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Zi, and blinked, and Xiao Zi actually winked at him, as if he was communicating something with his eyes.
"Ah, old man, I'm almost full, let's go, I'm ready to go!"
An old voice came, it was the senior, who was holding a roast duck in his hand at this time, eating it with relish.
"Dead old man, where have you been, do you know that this princess was almost scared to death by the giant python just now, if I have an accident, my father will not let you go. ”
The ninth princess thought that when her life was hanging by a thread, the old man was still eating elsewhere, and she couldn't help but lose her temper.
"Isn't it just a little earthworm, what's there to be afraid of, the old man almost inadvertently stepped on one, girl, this is a test of your guts, don't be afraid of this and that, with me, what are you afraid of!"
When he said this, he suddenly remembered that he was indeed not there just now, and added another sentence.
"Even if I'm not there, ... Don't be afraid, the Ji people have their own celestial phenomena. Oops, but it's a pity that I missed a good show, old man!"
He spoke very casually, and finally glanced at Xiao Bai and Xiao Zi, and as soon as his eyes swept over, Xiao Zi was clever, as if everything had been seen through.
Xiaobai was also puzzled, "What does this old man know?"
