Chapter 118: Going to the Underworld
In the Jinhua Mansion branch on Peach Blossom Mountain, Li Gongfu was discussing with Yang Mengqi and Yang Menglin brothers about handling some daily official business, but suddenly heard a reverberating shout from outside: "Brother Li, something happened at home!"
Hearing that it was Shi Tian's voice, Li Gongfu's expression suddenly changed, and his figure disappeared from the seat in a flash. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Yang brothers glanced at each other, and then flashed outside.
Shi Tian didn't know the formation, so he could only stand in the air and shout loudly outside the peach forest that formed a formation and enveloped the entire Peach Blossom Mountain.
Suddenly, another figure flashed in front of him, but he saw that Li Gongfu had already appeared in front of him, and asked with a solemn face, "What's wrong?"
Shi Tian hurriedly said: "Today, Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian were attacked when they went out, Xiaoqing was seriously injured, and Xiaoqian was taken captive. I heard the sister-in-law of the Xu family say that it was the tree demon of Lanruo Temple who shot it!"
"Impossible!" Yang Menglin, who appeared behind Li Gongfu, exclaimed, "That tree demon has been captured by us, and later killed by Uncle Li's father!"
Shi Tian shook his head and said, "The sister-in-law of the Xu family didn't explain much, only said that the tree demon was not dead. ”
Li Gongfu said in a deep voice: "Maybe we fell for the Dryad's Li Dai Taostiff's plan, and it was only a clone of the Dryad that was captured and killed. But now is not the time to pursue these things, let's go home and see the situation before we do anything. ”
At that moment, he explained a few words to the subordinates who stayed behind, and then rushed back to Jinhua County with Shi Tian and the Yang family brothers.
After showing up in the back hall of the county ya, he saw Xu Jiaorong, Xu Xian and Crow's Head all there, and they all had sad faces.
Seeing Li Gongfu coming back, the three of them hurriedly stepped forward.
Li Gongfu asked, "How is Xiaoqing's injury?"
He knew that since Xiao Qian had been taken captive, it was useless to ask more questions at the moment.
Xu Jiaorong shook her head and said, "My younger brother and sister are still rescuing in the room, I don't know what happened to the good and the bad?"
Li Gongfu comforted: "With the cultivation of my younger brother and sister, as long as Xiaoqing's soul is not gone, he can be saved, you don't have to worry too much." ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw the door of the inner room open, and Bai Suzhen walked out of it with a slightly tired look.
A group of people immediately asked in unison, "What's wrong?"
A reassuring smile appeared on Bai Suzhen's jade face: "Rest assured, Xiaoqing is no longer in serious trouble, and she only needs to recuperate for a period of time to recover." ”
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, and the hanging heart finally let go.
Li Gongfu beckoned everyone to sit down and asked Bai Suzhen about the details of the matter.
Bai Suzhen had already asked Xiaoqing about what had happened, and she relayed it to everyone at this moment.
Li Gongfu sighed and said: "It turns out that what we caught is really not the deity of the tree demon, and I think that the moment before she was captured, she cast a spell to replace herself with a clone. No wonder I felt like her strength had dropped so much when I killed her. ”
Xu Jiaorong said with an anxious look: "That tree demon has such a big enmity with us, isn't it ...... that Xiaoqian's girl fell into her hands?"
She didn't say any more, obviously not daring to imagine Xiaoqian's ending.
Bai Suzhen shook her head and said, "Xiao Qian can threaten the tree demon with her own life, which means that the tree demon still has a place to use her." I guess the dryad may not harm Xiaoqian in the short term, sister, you don't have to be too anxious first. ”
Xu Jiaorong said happily: "Since this is the case, let's quickly find a way to save Xiaoqian back!"
Bai Suzhen still shook her head and said with a wry smile: "Sister, now our problem is that we don't know where the tree demon took Xiao Qian away? ”
Everyone looked at each other, feeling clueless, and didn't know where to go to find someone to save people.
Only Li Gongfu pondered for a long time, and then pondered with some uncertainty: "I have a clue here, but I don't know if it is true." ”
Everyone was in high spirits, and Xu Jiaorong urged: "Don't care about the truth or falsehood, if you have clues, you can tell them first, so that everyone can take a closer look." ”
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Li Gongfu had no choice but to say the conjecture in his heart: "As far as I know, that tree demon also has a backstage, which is an evil giant who has cultivated as a proven primordial god and is the king of the underworld, called the 'Black Mountain Old Demon'. In order to tie up this big backer, the tree demon seems to have the intention of giving Xiaoqian to the old demon of Montenegro as a concubine. ”
The reason why he had this guess was that on the one hand, it came from the memory of his previous life, and on the other hand, he had indeed heard the name "Black Mountain Old Demon" from Xiao Qian's mouth.
Bai Suzhen frowned slightly: "Brother-in-law means that the tree demon has taken Xiao Qian to the underworld to join the old demon of the Black Mountain, but where did you hear this news?"
Li Gongfu naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he could only say half-truthfully: "I also heard Xiaoqian mention it vaguely, and now I suddenly think about it, so I can make such a speculation." ”
Bai Suzhen seemed to be a little confused and said: "This matter seems to make some sense. Those who can prove the original god should no longer be trapped by lust. If the dryad was planning to curry favor with the old demon of Montenegro by offering beauty, it would be a bit wishful thinking. ”
Xu Xian said with a sad face: "What I am most afraid of is that this is really the case." As the saying goes, 'Yin and Yang are separated from each other', if Xiaoqian is really taken captive by the Dryad to the underworld, we are afraid that there is really nothing we can do. ”
Bai Suzhen sighed and said, "If we just go to the underworld, there are more than one of us who can do it. It's just that to save people from the hands of a Genshin giant, even if all of us join forces, the hope of success is too slim. ”
When everyone was silent, Xu Jiaorong suddenly said loudly: "No matter what the other party is, we must save people." I think the first thing to do now is to try to determine the truth of the matter. If that's the case, then it's time to think about what to do!"
Everyone was stunned at first, and then the hesitation and confusion on their faces turned into resoluteness.
Li Gongfu sighed: "In the end, it is still delicate and pure-minded, and we people can't help but think too much and look ahead." Yes, although Xiaoqian, this girl, calls herself a maid, we all treat her as family. As long as the family is in trouble, there is no reason for us to stop moving. ”
Bai Suzhen also said: "That's true, then leave the matter of inquiring to me." I have a friend from my early years who is now in the underworld, and I will first cast a spell and send her a book to ask for news. ”
With that, she raised her hand, and a three-foot-long sword as cold as autumn water appeared out of thin air, and then snapped out a little white light attached to the blade. The sword slashed through the air, tearing open a crack more than a foot long in the void, and then burrowed into it with a slight shock.
None of them left, but waited in the same place day as they had been.
About an hour later, the void rippled, and the sword broke through the air and landed in Bai Suzhen's outstretched jade palm.
Bai Suzhen gently stroked the blade of the sword with the fingers of her left hand, and a bit of white light flew out of the sword and swam into her fingertips.
After sensing the information contained in the white light, she raised her head and said to everyone with a solemn face: "My friend said that the old demon of Montenegro will admit the ninth lady at noon in seven days. ”
After being silent for a while, Li Gongfu said indifferently: "Since this is the case, let's discuss the candidates who will go to the underworld." ”
