Chapter 138 The Demon King's Thoughts
It is not easy to find an ordinary wolf in Pangshan. For several consecutive nights, Xiaoqiu and Baldy spent some time to go out of the valley from the northwest and into the mountains. They encountered a group of sandalwood sheep, a three-colored deer with huge double horns, and other strange animals, but there was no trace of the one-eyed black wolf or the brown deer.
The area within a hundred miles of Laozu Peak is a gathering place for spiritual beasts. The demon king and queen who have turned into ordinary wolves and deer can hardly gain a foothold and may have left. Xiaoqiu had to give up the pursuit for the time being.
That morning, Zhou Ping entered the valley with a confused face and handed Xiaoqiu something, "A guy from Xianrenji asked me to give it to you. He dared not come in from outside the valley."
It was a statue of an ancient god. A small note was attached to the snake, with the words "Waiting for you on March 15th" written on it. Xiaoqiu almost forgot about Grandma Mei's invitation. At this time, she remembered that today was March 12th, only three days away from the full moon night.
Others arrived one after another and were very interested in the statue. Only Xin Youtao was dismissive. "It's just a clay statue made by fools. Common people would rather kneel down to it than work hard to be loyal to the real emperor. Alas, the world is declining like this. If I were still in Xijie City, I would immediately order the ban of this ancient god religion."
Xin Youtao was careless for a moment and forgot that this was Pangshan Horse Herding Valley. None of the people around him were from secular nobles. He found that his words only attracted disgusted looks, and sighed again, "We are all Pangshan disciples. We can ascend from the ground and destroy mountains in the future. As long as we are willing, we can attract groups of kneeling worshippers at any time. Why do we care about a small clay statue?"
"But I think the three heads of the ancient god are very meaningful." Xiao Qingtao was afraid of the Taoist priest but not the prince. "The skull represents death, the female statue represents compassion, and the faceless represents indifference. Is there a word on it?"
"I heard it is the character for 'thunder'." Xiaoqiu said.
Xiao Qingtao studied it for a moment, "It seems to be four 'kou' characters, but there are small characters inside the kou." She used her extraordinary eyesight, "Oh. It turns out that the 'lei' character is inside the kou."
"Isn't the four kou another way to write the word lei?"
When Zhou Ping said this, everyone first felt doubt and disbelief. Zhou Ping blushed, "When I was in the Zushi Tower, I confirmed that the inheritance was the chanting department. So I paid more attention to the chanting lectures. He talked about the ancient writing of some characters, including the four kou thunder character."
"Chanting department? Why didn't you take the initiative to chant, and made me reluctantly do it?" Yang Qingyin tilted her head and looked at Zhou Ping, very dissatisfied. ₆₉ₛₕᵤₓ.cₒₘ
"Later, everyone wanted to go to the Five Elements Department, so I changed my mind. I haven't learned to chant yet." Zhou Ping hurriedly explained.
Xiaoqiu wrote four mouths in the air.
"No wonder it is called "no difference". This word is the same no matter how it is turned. Four mouths are equal. There is really no difference."
Xin Youtao snatched the statue from Xiaoqingtao. "The faith of the ignorant people likes to play such tricks... What does 'waiting for you on March 15' mean?"
Xiaoqiu briefly talked about the story of Grandma Mei driving away the wolf.
"Is it the Grandma Mei from Jinghu Village?" Xiaoqingtao took a breath of cold air, and the others also looked panicked. In fact, none of them had seen Mei Chuan'an and his son.
Yang Qingyin was the only one who didn't care. "There are many people who practice privately outside the nine major sects. The old woman is probably the same. Shen Shang should really get to know her. She can still learn magic at such an old age, but he has not been through the catastrophe for more than eighty years. Mu Xingqiu, are you going?"
Xiaoqiu shook her head. "I don't want to go. Maybe it would be better to disappoint Grandma Mei. She cares too much about spells and statues. It's a bit inappropriate."
Xiaoqiu no longer felt that she owed the old woman anything, and she didn't want her return.
"I'll go." Yang Qingyin was interested and snatched the statue. "I heard that there are many weird people among the casual cultivators. I want to see how weird this old lady Mei is."
Other people don't have this curiosity. They have heard about the possessed Mei Crazy. I hope to be as far away as possible.
That afternoon, Xin Youtao left a little later. He now regards the transformation of Mu Xingqiu's character as one of his tasks. He said, "You are too careless."
"Well, what did I do wrong again?" Xiaoqiu was busy pouring beans into the stone trough. He asked casually. The prince had instilled too many ideas in these days, and he couldn't take it seriously.
"You know that one of us is a snitch, but you still tell everything." Xin Youtao followed Xiaoqiu closely, not helping, "What if the old lady of the Mei family is possessed or controlled by a demon? What if she causes trouble in the future, it will implicate you.
Xiaoqiu held the stone trough and said to the prince with a smile: "There are seven of us. Even if one person snitched, there are still six people who are sincerely practicing and want to fight Shen Shang. How can I hide it from everyone because of one person? Besides, these are all trivial matters. Even if no one snitched, Shen Shang would know sooner or later."
Xin Youtao was stunned for a while and shook his head, "Okay, since you are so gullible, I have to come forward."
"What tricks have you come up with?"
"Don't worry about it. Tomorrow, at most three days, I will find out who the snitch is for you. "
The next day, Xin Youtao began to talk to certain people alone, intentionally or unintentionally. Xiaoqiu watched coldly and found that the prince actually suspected everyone, even Yang Qingyin and Xiao Qingtao, and the key target of investigation was Zhou Ping.
The third day came, but Xin Youtao did not give an answer. He whispered to Xiaoqiu: "The truth will be revealed tomorrow morning. Too much talk will lead to mistakes. The informer thinks he is smart, but he can't hide it from my ears."
At the end of the practice that evening, Yang Qingyin announced loudly that she was going to attend the Ancient God Religion's God Summoning Conference, "Who else wants to go see the weirdos with me? This is your last chance."
No one cherished this opportunity and left one after another. Before leaving, Xiao Qingtao reminded my mother softly: "Don't call me 'weird' when you get there, Granny Mei will be unhappy."
"I quite like being a weirdo, okay, just don't call me a weirdo. Oh, it would be great if I learned illusions and could look like Mu Xingqiu. In that case, the problem would be much simpler. Now I can only try to make friends. "Mu Xingqiu, are you really not going?"
Xiaoqiu shook her head, "Tell Grandma Mei for me..."
"I don't deliver messages for others. I just hide in the dark and take a look. I show up when I'm interested. If I'm not, I go home and sleep." Yang Qingyin ran out of the valley, leaping over Xin Youtao and others. Disappeared beyond the valley.
As night fell, Xiaoqiu came to the pond to practice boxing. He did not tell everyone about the records of ancient demons using boxing variations. The others only agreed to practice boxing in order to defeat Shen Shang. Their enthusiasm was not high and there was no greed for too much. The truth may scare off several people.
The bald man was bored and flew back and forth in the valley without finding the whereabouts of the black wolf. He came back riding on the head of a bay-red horse. This is the only horse he can catch up with in the Muma Valley.
Xiaoqiu just finished a set of punches and hurriedly ran over to pull Baldy off, "Don't treat the bay red horse like this."
The bay-red horse looked around blankly, not knowing why he appeared here, and rubbed against Xiaoqiu twice. He turned and ran towards the white mare following from a distance.
"It doesn't hurt."
"That won't work either." Xiaoqiu has experienced mind control and is particularly disgusted with similar behavior. She doesn't care if it is used on the Demon King, but the bay red horse is like his relative.
The bald man looked aggrieved and did not argue. He flew around the pond several times and waited for Xiaoqiu to finish punching him again. He stepped forward and said, "Why don't you ask me why I control the bay red horse?"
"Why?"
The dejection disappeared from the bald man's face, and he pretended to be mysterious and said: "Didn't we look for the Demon King for the past two days with no results? I just thought that we don't have enough time. The bay-red horses are running around in the valley every day. Go, maybe you can find some clues."
Xiaoqiu stared blankly at the head floating in front of her eyes, "You... are quite smart."
The bald man smiled happily. "Only the brain is left. Of course he is smart. You should ask me if I have found any clues."
"Did you find clues from the bay red horse?" Xiaoqiu suddenly felt like a child of several years old.
"Yes. You also know that the thinking of livestock is very simple, and the bay horse is more complicated. It likes you very much, and has to look at you every day before it can eat grass with peace of mind. But now it prefers the white horse. After all, the white horse has a There is a foal..."
"Tell me about the Demon King." Although Xiaoqiu was a little moved, she still urged Baldy to get down to business.
"The bay horse doesn't know what the Demon King is. It knows that there is a wolf that appears in the northwest of the valley almost every night. The golden tail horse wants to kick it to death, but the wolf is very cautious..."
Xiaoqiu interrupted Baldy again, "Almost every night? Why didn't we notice?"
"We went too late. You have to practice boxing, and you practice for a long time. By the time we set off, it's already late at night, and the wolf has already left."
Baldy flew ahead happily, bragging to Xiaoqiu how smart he was, "Mr. Qin always praises me, but he doesn't often praise others."
The two climbed over several slopes, and Xiaoqiu saw a wolf standing on the cliff from a distance.
After walking some distance, Bald Man also noticed it and immediately shut up and lowered his flying height. Xiao Qiu confirmed that it was the degenerated Demon King.
The black wolf stood on the top of the cliff like a sculpture, looking up at the rising full moon. But unlike ordinary wolves, it did not bark or make a sound. This was why Xiaoqiu had never noticed that it had been to Muma Valley. reason.
Xiaoqiu speeded up, came to the edge of the cliff, and nodded to Bald Man.
The bald man connected with him, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he quietly flew up the cliff.
Xiaoqiu waited silently, hoping that the Demon King still had some memory of the formation.
A quarter of an hour later, a suppressed scream suddenly came from the top of the cliff, like the barking of a bereaved dog. Soon, the bald man fell from the sky, his face full of doubts.
"How about it?"
"This is a complicated wolf, more complicated than a bay horse."
"Does it have the memory of a demon formation?"
The bald man frowned, "I can't explain, its thoughts are too vague. I know that it stands here every day to get in touch with another group of wolves. What kind of formation is that group of wolves going to form? It needs human blood, a lot of human blood. The time is tonight. It is very excited, as if it will be free after tonight. It also wants to drink blood..."
"Grandma Mei." Xiaoqiu suddenly realized that this was the conspiracy of the wolves. They had just pretended to fail a few days ago, but they would make a comeback tonight, and the ancient god's summoning ceremony would become the scene of a bloody massacre by the monsters.
Can Yang Qingyin defeat the array of wolf demons? Xiaoqiu was very skeptical.
