Just as I was about to continue to ask, there was a sudden commotion behind me, I turned my head to see, a group of four people in the distance, all flying out of thin air, were flying towards me with an angry face, and before I arrived, there was an angry roar in the distance, "Dare to hurt Yushan, Lao Tzu will break your body into ten thousand pieces!"
” With this roar, the four of them flew in front of me in an instant like four streamers.
Only then did I see clearly that among the four people, one man and three women, the man was dressed in black, and the woman was dressed in white, all of whom had a good skin.
Fang Cai's roar was done by the man in black.
After stopping in front of me, the four of them did not hesitate at all, and instantly dispersed their formation and surrounded me.
I frowned slightly, judging from the momentum alone, none of these four people was weaker than the silver-haired woman before, especially the man in black, the momentum was the strongest, and his cultivation was obviously much surpassed.
I have a good deal against one of them, and I have some confidence against two, but I don't have the slightest chance of winning against these four people at the same time.
Just as I was thinking about it, the four of them didn't give me time to react, and the man in black spit out three words "accept my life", and then beckoned the others and attacked me side by side.
I didn't dare to hold it up, and I was about to call the fat man to sacrifice the demon refining pot to subdue these people, but at this moment, a cold cry suddenly came from the side, "Stop it!"
” The sound was not loud, but there was an inexplicable majesty in it, and the four people who were attacking me, when they heard this voice, all the spells they had just sacrificed were all stagnant, and then they put it away, and they all turned their heads to look behind them.
I stopped calling the fat man and looked up as well.
Just behind the four of them, a thin man who was also dressed in a black robe obviously came in a hurry, his pale face was a little unhealthy flush, and he spoke to the four people with a slight pant, "The high priest has an order, not to hurt my Qingqiu clan guests!"
” The black-clothed man who roared earlier was obviously not angry, and as soon as his words fell, he hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Canglang, are you mistaken, he just injured Yushan, how can it be my Qingqiu Clan's distinguished guest?"
” The thin man shook his head and said, "This is the order of the high priest, asking me to take the distinguished guests to the Fox King's palace to meet with the patriarch and the high priest. ” Speaking of the high priest again, the man in black, although he was still very angry, was obviously a little afraid, his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything, just turned his head and glared at me gloomily, and then turned his head angrily, rushed to the place where the silver fox was lying on the ground, leaned down, and checked the silver fox's injuries.
After he left, the thin man walked up to me, with a friendly smile on his face, and after bowing, he said gently, "My father and the patriarch have an invitation, please come to the Fox King's palace to meet." ” As soon as he mentioned the word "Fox Palace", I pricked up my ears, and when I heard him confirm again, I couldn't help but feel happy.
Although I don't know why the Qingqiu Patriarch and the High Priest suddenly invited me to the Fox King's Palace, according to Yaoyao's mother, the Seven Star Wormwood is in the Fox King's Palace!
The purpose of my coming here is for the Seven Star Wormwood, so this Fox King Palace, I have to go to it anyway.
After returning the salute, I answered the invitation, turned my head and called the fat man, and let the thin man lead the way, and go with him.
Soon we walked out of this remote forest, and instead of going to the Jade Mountain Elder, we went in the opposite direction, and not long after, we rounded one col and came to another.
This valley is clearly different from the previous valley, although it is also green to the eye, but in this valley, the most eye-catching thing is the towering trees.
I don't recognize the species, each tree is more than fifty meters tall, the trunk is not straight, but a little curved, although it is tall, it is not aggressive, but it looks quite cute.
There are also many buildings here, and unlike the mushroom-like wooden houses that dotted the meadows, the buildings here are all clinging to trees, which appear narrow and tall, and at first glance look a bit like a tube building, but they blend in with the trees, with a strange beauty.
As I walked on, I walked past a treehouse building, and suddenly my eyes suddenly brightened, and in front of me was a clearing, and behind that clearing, there was a huge circular building.
The overall style of this building is similar to the tree house behind it, but the body shape is completely different, it looks more like a huge circular stadium, countless tall numbers, forming a circle on the outermost side, this circular building hangs on all the trees as a whole, the most amazing thing is that the branches of these trees are crooked and integrated with the building, forming all the doors and windows eaves, and even the leaves on it have become the decorations around the building, and the whole building is completely integrated with these trees.
I had just looked up a few times when I saw the thin man who led the way stop, stretched out his hand to point to the building in front of me, and introduced to me, "This is the Fox King's Palace, my father and the patriarch have already set up a banquet inside, and the distinguished guests are invited to go first." ” Although it was a fox clan, the etiquette was also thoughtful, I nodded, did not brush him with kindness, and took the fat man with me, and walked to the entrance of the huge tree palace first.
Because the whole is suspended in the air, there is a long upward staircase at the entrance of the palace, these steps are also woven from the branches of the surrounding trees, not only long but also wide, at this moment there are several girls with different hair colors standing on both sides of the steps, with delicate faces and pure eyes.
I subconsciously bowed my hand in return, but several Qingqiu girls with nervous faces all laughed out loud, and before I could react, the thin man behind me followed, and said with a little embarrassment, "Your guest is not so polite, just go straight in." ” Only then did I realize that I had just made a joke, and that I, as an invited guest, did not need to salute these girls.
These rituals are ancient rituals, which have long been lost, and I only learned some of them because I entered the Xuanmen Sect to practice, but in terms of specific details, I don't know much.
Smiling a little awkwardly, I hurried up the steps and soon walked to the palace gate.
At this time, the palace gate has long been opened, and the inside is a large hall, and the architectural style of the palace is almost the same as the outside, which is also full of vibrant green, and some leaves can be seen on the walls from time to time.
In the center of the main hall, there are two rows of low wooden tables, which are not arranged on the left and right, but on the front and back.
At this time, behind the two low tables in the center of the front, a man and a woman sat on their knees.
The woman also had silver hair, dressed in white, and her appearance looked even more delicate than the Yushan Elder who was injured by me just now, but she looked more mature overall, with a solemn expression on her face with a hint of majesty.
The other man was quite old, dressed in a black robe covered with silver stars, with black and white hair, a slightly rickety figure, his eyebrows and beard all falling by a few inches, sitting cross-legged on the ground, and holding a wooden crutch in his hand, looking rather strange.
When he saw me come in, the old man sat still, while the silver-haired woman stood up and said in a clear voice, "Don't be surprised that you have not come to greet you from afar. ” Naturally, I won't take the kind words to heart, and I can guess the identity by looking at their appearance, so I also bowed my hand and said, "The patriarch is serious, Zhou Yi, the younger generation of the next generation, has seen the Qingqiu patriarch and the high priest. ” After some politeness, the woman invited me to sit cross-legged behind the low table across from them, and then talked about Yaoyao.
She first thanked me for sending Yaoyao back to Qingqiu, and then apologized to me, saying that Yushan and others wanted to kill me, but she did not instruct her, because the Qingqiu clan was hostile to humans, so Yushan and others took revenge on their own initiative.
I've always eaten soft rather than hard, and it was not easy to be held accountable by her, so I nodded and smiled, and said that the matter was all due to a misunderstanding, and it was revealed.
After listening to me, the matriarch picked up the wooden cup in front of her and toasted me with a glass of fruit wine, and then she no longer mentioned this matter, but asked me, "My Qingqiu people have always loved and hated clearly, and Mr.
Zhou sent my people back, and he had a great kindness to my Qingqiu tribe, and he should have reciprocated something."
It's just that my Qingqiu clan has not communicated with the outside world for many years, and I really don't know how to reciprocate. ” Listening to her words, I was stunned.
I sent Yaoyao back, and I did ask for something, but she took the initiative to mention it, but I was a little unsure.
Did she really want to repay me, or did she say it on purpose to test my true purpose?
