Chapter 39 Swallowing Depression Cottage
For Lishuyu, who has only been to Pingjiang City and Camel Mountain, the Pingsui Plateau, located in the southern part of the human world, is a novel place shrouded in mystery.
According to the description of the Seven Madness, the terrain of the Pingsui Plateau is long and narrow, starting from the Muma Mountain and the Xishan Mountain where the Pingjiang Kingdom of the human race is located in the west, to the Valley of No Return where the Demon Medicine King breeds poisonous weeds in the east, to the Tuluo Peak occupied by the Pansha clan in the north, and to the Thunwa Ridge inhabited by the Silver Wolf clan in the south, which is about 2,000 li long from east to west and 1,000 li wide from north to south. The climate here is changeable, the weather difference between the south and the north is obvious, Li Shuyu and his party arrived at Tuluo Peak when the sky was still clear, but after approaching the swallow valley ridge, it suddenly rained heavily, thanks to Ao Shu's companionship, only to avoid getting wet under the protection of her divine light.
The closer he got to the Swallowing Ridge, the more restless the Seven Madness became, his limbs tensing unconsciously, and his silver hair all exploded, like a string that could break at any moment.
"Xuehua'er, are you too nervous?"
Ao Shu glanced at him, and said a little speechlessly: "This is your kin, you are the one who has been framed, why should you be so weak-hearted." ”
"I don't have a weak heart. "Seven mad mouths are hard.
"If you don't have a weak heart, I will collect your hair, I look like a silver sea urchin. ”
"You!"
"Where does it look like a sea urchin!" Li Shuyu said with a serious face: "It should be rambutan!"
Seven Madness: "......"
Although the Seven Mad didn't feel that he had anything to do with the sea urchin or rambutan, thanks to the evil words of these two, his still uneasy heart finally settled down a little. Ao Shu is right, he is not at fault, and his return this time is also to save his people from war, he should appear in front of them with his head held high and confidently.
The terrain of the swallowing valley ridge is steep, there is no mountain road, only the animals that are good at climbing and the flying fairy demons can be climbed, the group circled above the swallowing valley for a while and did not land immediately, Li Shuyu looked down at the seven madness from time to time, not sure whether he was ready or not, so he did not dare to make a move, until the seven madness roared unbearably: "I'm not so fragile!
Landing on the top boulder, the Seven Crazy Steps jumped down with vigorous steps, and climbed all the way along the mountain rock with a familiar car, Li Shuyu and Ao Shu followed behind unhurriedly, thinking about how to make a proper move if the silver wolf clan turned their faces and didn't recognize people.
"Shangxian, although I persuaded Xuehua'er to come back and take a look, but I have no bottom in my heart. ”
Li Shuyu was a little worried: "What if the clan really doesn't welcome him." ”
"That's not something you and I need to worry about. Ao Shu comforted her: "I heard you say that he was loved by the clan as the patriarch, and the truth of that love can be glimpsed today." If it is true, it will naturally welcome him in every possible way and rejoice in his safe return, but if it is false, then it may not be a good thing for him to use this return to his hometown to cut off his obsession. ”
Li Shuyu nodded, she actually thought the same thing in her heart, but as the nominal owner of the Seven Mad and the actual friend, she still hoped that the Seven Mad could be spared, although she could hardly help as an outsider.
All the way down, the figure of the Seven Madness disappeared in a flash, and Li Shuyu hurriedly chased after it, only to find that there was a small cave in the center of the cliff, which was just enough to accommodate one person to pass through. She was about to pass through recklessly, but Ao Shu suddenly grabbed her, shook her head and said, "This is the Silver Wolf Secret Passage, and there is an enchantment mechanism inside, and it will take a lot of time for you and me to go from here." ”
"That ......"
"Come with me. ”
Li Shuyu followed Ao Shu into the mountain trench in confusion, and seeing that she was about to enter the river at the bottom of the mountain, she quickly stopped and asked in confusion: "Shangxian, where are we going?"
"The dragons are most familiar with waterways, and I can sense that there is an undercurrent channel under this valley that leads water to the villages in the mountains, and we can enter from here to avoid alarming his people. ”
Ao Shu silently recited the mantra, stretched out her hand and gently touched the center of Lishuyu's eyebrows, and Lishuyu immediately turned into a nine-tailed little fox and shrunk into a blister that emitted a light green divine light.
"Although I didn't say it in front of Xuehua'er, I was indeed hated by many silver wolves because of what happened back then, so I still wanted to sneak in and try not to alarm them. Ao Shu took Lishuyu in her arms and whispered: "Let's wait and see what happens, unless Xuehua'er is in danger, okay?"
Li Shuyu thought to herself that I had become like this by you, and what right did she have to choose, but she didn't dare to say it, so she just obediently rested her head on her tail and nodded.
She looks so cute, Ao Shu couldn't help but want to pop the bubbles, and touched her head and tail, but reason strangled her in time and pressed her impulse back.
Through the undercurrent at the bottom of the mountain, what came into view was a huge cottage wrapped in the valley, Li Shuyu had never seen such a grand scene, and he was unconsciously a little stunned.
She was greeted by a number of wooden houses, all recessed in the mountains, all facing a delicate lake with underflowing water. The wooden houses are built from low to high according to the mountain, and the number is large but orderly. The whole cottage is surrounded by strange stones, but there are many trees and mountain fruits planted in the village, and there are a few small farmlands, planted with rare medicinal herbs that she has never seen.
"When I first came, I didn't expect that demon wolves would live like humans. Ao Shu sighed: "Such a peaceful and serene beauty, I don't know why some people don't know how to cherish it, and they think about how to trap it in the war all day long." ”
"I don't understand either. Li Shuyu remembered what he had seen and heard in the demon world, and couldn't help but regret it: "Ah Feng said that the previous demon king was brutal and warlike, turning Sanssouci Valley into a ruined scorched earth, until he was succeeded by sleeves, and it was only then that he regained his vitality and became such an elegant place that does not lose the fairy world. So I don't understand why he, since he is an elegant man who cherishes beautiful scenery, made the talisman of hosts that will bring misery. Once refined, not only the Demon Realm, but also the Three Realms will be in flames, right?"
"That's the terrible thing about desire and ambition. Ao Shu lowered her eyes, "If you are dominated by these two feelings, let alone a demon, even the gods will fall into the devil." ”
Speaking of falling demons, a spirit in Lishuyu's mind immediately reminded him of Ao Feng's father. The black Jiao who caused the blood and ashes has now become the brand of shame on Ao Feng's body, making him not only ostracized by his clan, but also afraid to face the feelings of his beloved. The more Li Shuyu thought about it, the more sorry she felt for Ao Shu and Ao Feng, and she didn't know how to reply, when she heard a horn sound burst through the air, so loud and piercing that she and Ao Shu couldn't help but feel excited.
"Something's wrong!"
Ao Shu's intuition was wrong, and he quickly flew in the direction of the horn, and sure enough, he saw a group of silver wolves in human form forming a circle from a distance, and there was no doubt that there were seven madnesses inside.
The Seven Mad didn't expect to be so unpopular, and when he entered through the secret passage, it was clear that the barrier did not count him as a foreigner. He was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that his people were still thinking about him a little, so he couldn't help but run wildly towards the wooden house where he once lived. Who knew that before he arrived at the wooden house, he happened to be bumped into by a silver wolf who participated in the encirclement and suppression of him, and the guy panicked instantly when he saw the Seven Madness, and without thinking about it, he blew the horn to meet the enemy, attracting the guards to surround him collectively.
"You're still alive. ”
The silver wolf named Yuntao raised his foot and kicked the Seven Madness who was tied up by five flowers, gritted his teeth and said, "The guy who should have died a long time ago, what are you doing when you come back now?"
One of the ribs of the Seven Madness was kicked and broken by him, but he couldn't hold back and didn't snort, only sneered: "What's the matter? Are you afraid that I will come back and expose your deeds of murdering the patriarch and fighting for power? Why didn't you think of it when you did it?"
Yun Ta was annoyed and ashamed and wanted to kick again, but a silver wolf guard grabbed him in time, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Murdering the patriarch? How do I remember that you said that the patriarch colluded with the Red Python clan and was discovered by you, and wanted to kill you, but in the end you killed him?"
"Hehehehehe......"
Seven Mad couldn't help but sneer: "It turns out that you are using this excuse to deceive your clansmen and completely ruin my reputation...... Ahem!"
Yun Tao raised his foot and stepped on his throat to prevent him from continuing to speak, and said with a hideous face: "Shut up! There is no place for you here!"
"Lord Yunta!"
The other guards also stretched out their hands to stop Yun Tao, but Yun Tao knocked them away with a wave of his big hand, turned his head and said angrily: "My brothers are now the right-hand men of the Sleeveless King of the Demon Realm, and when the King realizes his great cause, you scum don't come to me to wag your tail and beg for mercy!"
"Hand ...... Next ......"
Seven mad eyes stared at Yun Tao, he only thought that these stupid people would pick quarrels and provoke trouble from the surrounding ancestral clans, but he didn't expect them to be stupid enough to be willing to die for the enemy. The rage made him lose his mind, and the only remaining demonic power rushed into his muscles, and the muscles began to grow and deform, and his eyes were about to be reduced to the whites of his eyes, and a bolt of lightning suddenly broke through the air and knocked the cloud tread away, forming a barrier to protect the Seven Mad in it.
"I didn't want to make a move, after all, it's your silver wolf family's family matter. But I just heard that your brother was in cahoots, so I couldn't pretend I didn't hear it. ”
Ao Shu withdrew his stealth mana and landed beside the Seven Madness, looking down at Yun Tao, who was constantly retreating due to fright, and said coolly: "Tell me, where are your brother and Sleeveless now." ”
"Dragon...... It's the ...... of the dragons."
The other guards were also frightened, and threw down their weapons to escape, but they were all shrouded in the barrier made by Ao Shu with water bubbles.
"You haven't answered me yet. Ao Shu couldn't see a trace of usual gentleness on her face, her eyes were full of cold frost, and the coercion of the immortals was too pressing, even Li Shuyu in her arms couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and curled up a little tighter.
"I ...... We don't know......"
The guards wanted to cry without tears, and they all pointed to Yunta and said, "Only he knows the whereabouts of the patriarch, and he is not allowed to ask us! We only learned that the patriarch has become a sleeveless lackey......
So they say. ”
Ao Shu poked his gaze at Yun Tao, and the sound was like an iron needle flying knife nailing Yun Tao in place and unable to move, the latter's mind was spinning, but before he thought of an excuse, he was sealed into a blister with the prohibition of immortals.
"The prohibition of this water prison can only be solved by the dragons, if you don't say anything, you will be trapped in it for a day, until you die of thirst and starvation, your flesh and bones are separated, and your corpse is shriveled, and if I don't open your mouth, you can't get out. ”
Li Shuyu, who was shrunk in the blister, looked up and said, "...... Shangxian ...... Let me out first......"
