Chapter 113: Jackal Peak
There is a lonely peak fifty miles west of Xuancheng, the local people call it Jackal Peak, because Xuancheng is geographically close to the southwest 100,000 mountains, and the Jackal Peak is in the west of Xuancheng, it is already the periphery of 100,000 mountains. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this time, there was a group of people in this mountain peak, seven men and one woman, who were all the people of the Heavenly Demon Gate.
The woman's face was covered with a veil of emerald green tulle, and outsiders could not see her face, but a pair of eyes hidden in autumn water, and her curved eyebrows were picturesquely exposed, so that people knew at a glance that she must be a great beauty.
They looked solemnly at the entrance of a swarthy cave not far from them, and the sound of wind came from the entrance of the cave.
"Deacon Wu, this is the cave I found, and it should be the hiding place of the demon snake. The middle-aged man dressed in black said respectfully to the old man standing in front of everyone.
The old man was thin and thin, like a bamboo pole, with white temples, a silver-white goatee, many brown markings on his face, and his eyes were attentive, and there was a majesty in his expression that had been in a high position for a long time.
He sniffed vigorously a few times, "It's indeed the breath of a demon snake, but the smell is very light." Then he looked at the only woman in the group and continued, "Please also ask the Holy Maiden to let the lightning marten find it for us." ”
The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Gate is a very high-status existence in the Heavenly Demon Gate, and the most famous Holy Maiden is still Shen Yun, the daughter of the Demon Lord more than 20 years ago.
The woman was dressed in a cyan silk brocade robe, holding a delicate cyan sword in her left hand, and on her left shoulder was a snow-white mink, falling asleep in a daze. She stroked it with her hand, took out a piece of cyan jade from her sleeve and put it in front of the mink's mouth.
The lightning marten is also a kind of monster, it moves extremely quickly, its sense of smell is particularly sensitive, and it likes to eat beautiful jade the most, and this is only given to her by the demon lord in her hand, she likes it very much.
Sure enough, the lightning marten was woken up by the smell of jade in front of his mouth, and the two little claws held the jade handed by the woman and gnawed it, the jade was originally very hard, but in the lightning mink's mouth it was like a green cake, and it didn't take any effort. It quickly finished eating, and licked its little paw twice.
The woman said softly: "Mink, you glutton, it's time to work when you're full." "Place the lightning marten on the ground and point to the dark hole.
The lightning marten can understand human nature, looked at the hole and then at the woman, walking slowly, a little reluctant.
The woman knew that this lightning marten was playing petty, and her voice immediately became a little colder, "If you don't hurry up, you won't want to eat my jade in the future." ”
When the lightning marten heard this, his body shook, and he jumped to the mouth of the cave at a great speed, much faster than before.
Seeing this, the old man smiled and said: "The saint still has a way, this lightning marten has lived for more than a hundred years, and even the eldest brother can't call it, but in the hands of the saint, it has become obedient." ”
"Grandpa Wu laughed, this mink is just a lazy guy, and the combination of grace and power can make it obedient, it's nothing. She didn't call Wu Qi a deacon like the other elders, but called him grandpa.
"It's good to be able to do this, there are few smart little girls like you, there are few people in the rivers and lakes, no wonder the eldest brother is so pampered. Wu Qi stroked his beard with his right hand, and was very satisfied with the woman chosen by his eldest brother.
The holy woman said, "Grandpa Wu, how many elders are still waiting to go with you to catch demon snakes?"
Wu Qi slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, this person is old, and he almost forgot about his business." After a pause, he looked around at the five elders around him, and said: "Since we have found the cave of the demon snake, with our Heavenly Demon Sect's understanding of the monsters and the strength of the few people present, it is not a problem to deal with this low-level demon of the ground level, what we have to do now is to fight quickly before the other two factions come to disturb us, understand?"
The other five elders said in unison, "Understood." ”
"Okay, let the lightning marten lead the way by following the scent, take down the demon snake in one fell swoop, and set off. With a wave of his hand, everyone lit the torches they had prepared before and headed towards the dark cave.
The lightning marten stopped from time to time to sniff in front of it, then walked for a while, stopped and sniffed, and kept repeating the process, followed by the eight people of the Heavenly Demon Gate.
The saint who was guarded in the center had something in her mind, and she knew her mission before she became a saint, which was to be the wife of a man she had never seen before, just because that man was the grandson of the demon lord.
The demon lord and some of the elders in the door taught her many things, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, rituals, music and dance, and of course, martial arts, this is an opportunity that too many people desire but can't get, which makes her more excellent and more different, and all this is to make her good enough to match that person, she doesn't know whether that person is good or bad, handsome or ugly.
She felt that all this was too unacceptable for people to accept, could it be that the man was an ugly, short, and disgusting man, and that he was going to marry him? What was this? Is he a gift from the demon lord to his grandson?
In fact, there is a wish in her heart, that is, she hopes that the grandson of the demon lord will never appear, so that she does not have to marry him.
"What's going on?" Wu Qi looked at the lightning marten that had stopped moving forward and frowned.
The holy woman was awakened by Wu Qi's words, came to the front, and found that there were two passages in front of her, and the lightning marten looked left and right, hesitating. She walked over to the lightning marten and crouched down, stroked it a few times, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The lightning marten understood what the saint meant, and two little paws scratched on the left side of her hand, and then on the right, and then two paws scratched the little head.
She didn't expect this to be the case, so she stood up and said to Wu Qi: "Grandpa Wu, the lightning marten said that there is a smell on both sides, and it doesn't know which way to go." ”
"It's a little difficult," Wu Qi said, "if you can't separate, then choose one first, and if you can't do it, come back and go to the other." ”
He knows that time waits for no one, but there is no way, after separation, his strength weakens, and he is not an opponent at all when he encounters a demon snake.
......
In a mountain not far from Jackal Peak, everyone from the Qinglan Sect.
"Elder Wang, you said it's been four hours since the Heavenly Demon Gate went to Jackal Peak?" Zhao Ziling asked.
Wang Renhao panted and said: "Yes, I just rushed over from there, I feel that something is wrong, in the past, it only took about two hours for a few people from the Heavenly Demon Sect to search for a mountain peak, but this time it has not come down for a full four hours, so I must have found something." ”
Zhao Ziling also has this opinion, it is very likely that the Heavenly Demon Gate discovered the demon snake.
Zhao Ziling said: "The three elders will go with me, and the rest of the disciples will return to Xuancheng to wait for help. He knows that there can be no delay, and that a slow step is likely to be a slow step.
Wang Renhao asked, "Don't you wait for the support from the sect, they will arrive in two or three days." ”
"It's too late, let the disciple inform the later elders to go to Jackal Peak. Zhao Ziling quickly turned over and got on his horse and ran towards Jackal Peak.
Wang Renhao and the three followed Zhao Ziling closely and went together.
And the people of the Xuan Demon Dao also speculated on this, and the four elders led a group of people to rush towards Jackal Peak, wanting to get involved.
On this trip, the blessings and misfortunes are unknown.
