Pick up the Dragon

Under the guidance of Aunt Hu, everyone successfully entered Qingqiu Realm, the thick fog behind them gradually closed, and the way they came disappeared little by little.A line of the sky gradually lit up, slowly separating from the horizon, and with the piercing light of the sky, Qingqiu's initial appearance fell into everyone's eyes.

This place is different from the outside world. There are almost no clear roads. You can see undulating hills everywhere, lush vegetation, and occasionally streams flow through the valleys. The sound of water is lingling, bringing fresh wind.

It's just that there is a hint of fox smell in the wind from time to time, which is quite annoying.

The moment Peng Yu entered this place, he felt that this place was not right—this season, no matter how warm the weather is, it can't be like summer, and the vegetation here is as green as Penglai. He absolutely doesn't believe that it grows entirely by nature.

So he stretched out his hand and poked the white dragon who was lying on his shoulder again, and asked in a low voice: "Is there really what you're looking for here?"

The Dragon King just snorted and didn't answer.

"Everyone," Aunt Fox suddenly stopped leading the way, she turned around and said to everyone, "I have to go back and report to Fourth Fox, it's not on the same side as you are going, I'll let Seventeen lead the way." You go to see the Fox King, and I will hold off on Fox Si for a little longer for you, no matter how you discuss with the Fox King, please settle the battle quickly."

As she said that, she pushed out Fox Shiqi, who had been hiding behind her all the time, touched his fox ears and said softly: "Don't cry Shiqi, you are a boy, be strong. Aren't you going to save your mother? You There is a connection between mother and child, you can find her, hurry up and take your friends there. You enter Qingqiu, Husi will know sooner or later, time is running out, cheer me up!"

Her last sentence suddenly raised the volume, Hu Shiqi trembled all over, and raised his head in astonishment, but the astonishment lasted only a second, and his slack gaze finally refocused, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and said in a strong nasal voice: "I see, Third Aunt, I'll take them there right now."

After he finished speaking, he was about to turn around, but Third Aunt Hu thought of something again, she suddenly grabbed his shoulder, forcibly turned his gaze away, and said quickly: "Seventeen, don't forget, you just He is the white fox with the purest blood among the younger generation, and one day the future of the fox clan will be in your hands, and you have to bear it!"

Hu Shiqi trembled all over his body, and looked at each other with wide eyes: "Third Aunt..."

Third Aunt Hu didn't give him a chance to speak, she pushed him forward: "Hurry up and go."

A group of foxes and foxes turned into their original forms and rushed away. Hu Shiqi froze for a moment, and then turned back into a fox as tall as a person: "Come on, I'll take you to find my mother."

Peng Yu led the Dragon King to the back of the fox, and Jiuyuan carried Qianyue to follow behind. Fox Shiqi walked like flying, and soon left the entrance of Qingqiu behind, turned around in the middle of the mountain, and quickly went deep into Qingqiu. away.

During the turbulent journey, Peng Yu soon couldn't distinguish between east, west, north and south, so he simply let him run, and began to think about other things: "Purple rhyme... Do you remember that I told you that the conditions for growing purple rhyme are very harsh?" , have very high requirements on temperature and moisture, is it difficult to survive in the north?"

Li Yi said "hmm" on his shoulder: "I remember, but this flower seems to have been improved now—what do you want to say?"

Peng Yu frowned and said, "I'm thinking that even improvement is not achieved overnight, and it will definitely take several generations of planting to select good seeds, so the place for this improvement and selection will be in Qingqiu ?”

Li Yi thought it would happen overnight: "Why do you think so?"

Peng Yu: "Qingqiu, like your Penglai, is like spring all year round, with a very stable environment and conditions, and if Qinglonglin is really here - Jiuyuan said that Qinglong represents vitality, it will definitely provide a good opportunity for Ziyunhua to grow , isn’t it very suitable for cultivation?”

After thinking for a while, Li Yi nodded his head: "It does make sense, but even so, what can we prove? We are almost sure that Hu Si has formed an alliance with the Xian family. It is not surprising that he can get the flower seeds."

Peng Yu: "Yes, but the foxes said that Hu Si took the throne more than half a year ago, and the innkeeper in Anping County said that 'those people' planted flowers for them at least a year and a half ago. Purple rhyme flowers grow once a year. Kai, if the flower seeds were really cultivated in Qingqiu, they would have been cultivated at least two years ago. They had already hooked up with Fox Four at that time, why didn't they compete for the position of Fox King earlier, but waited until A whole year later?"

He held the fox fur lightly, and said to himself: "A year... is just enough for Ziyun flowers to bloom once. If we plant the experimentally cultivated flowers all over Qingqiu in this year, what can we create? How big can the illusion be? What kind of fairy weapon did the fairy family give to Hu Si? A fairy weapon can really seriously injure the fox king who is far above him, and even make his relatives completely helpless power?"

"Are the foxes hiding something from us?"

Hearing what he said, Li Wei felt a chill down his spine for no reason, and he answered a little jerky: "I'm afraid it's not realistic to plant the entire Qingqiu. We haven't seen any traces of flowers along the way, and the flowers are so strange." Fragrance, large-scale planting will definitely have a fragrance, I haven't smelled it yet."

Peng Yu let out a sigh of relief: "I just have a bad premonition, I hope I'm superstitious."

Hu Shiqi was not disturbed at all by the voices of the two people on his back, and ran forward wholeheartedly. Peng Yu was really nauseated by him, and was about to bend down to let him run slower, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

He looked up and looked around, and finally realized what was wrong - it was already dawn when they entered Qingqiu, even though they had been moving westward, running away from the sunrise, they shouldn't have been running for so long and there was still no sign of dawn.

He couldn't help but look back, only to see a ray of silver light in the east - it was still the same as when he came here!

Peng Yu's hairs all exploded immediately, thinking that his eyes can see through all disguises, if this is an illusion made by someone, how could he not see it?

He forced himself to concentrate and look at the sky without blinking, and he found that the dark sky was slowly rising, as if a layer of tulle had been lifted, and the sky suddenly brightened!

He took a deep breath and sweated like rain—at the bottom of the lake on Penglai Island, he failed to find the weakness of the barrier immediately because it was the barrier left by the gods, and now he made the same mistake again. If the other party's cultivation base is not as high as a god, it can only mean that he has been hallucinated by the fragrance of flowers, and the phase is produced by the "heart", not by the eyes!

A small amount of flower fields like Anping can't do anything to him, but if the whole Qingqiu is covered with a sea of ​​flowers, then even if he has ten pairs of Qiankun eyes, he can't do anything.Who said that hallucinations can only affect vision, and probably smell as well!

Peng Yu almost turned pale with fright, grabbed Hu Shiqi by the hair around his neck: "Stop, stop for me!"

His voice could be described as shocking, and the dragon on his shoulders trembled violently. Unexpectedly, Hu Shiqi seemed to be deaf to it, and still rushed forward like an arrow.The Dragon King finally sensed that something was wrong, and reacted immediately. His body grew rapidly, and he rolled over from the fox's back with Peng Yu wrapped around him.

The two fell from the back of the fox running at high speed. Even with the support of the dragon body, Peng Yu was still thrown into a mess. He felt the world turned upside down, and it took him a long time to recover from the staring state.He opened his eyes again, only to see swaying white flowers on the hillside where there were only green grass before, half of the weird purple cores were covered with half-bright morning light, and half were shrouded in indistinct shadows.

He gasped, and slammed the dragon beside him: "It's okay! We've been tricked!"

With a push, he looked over the dragon's back and fell in the distance, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat - Qianyue and Jiuyuan who had been following them were gone!

Peng Yu's mind was ringing with an alarm, and he was trying to force himself to calm down to find a countermeasure, when he heard a mournful howl of a fox coming from far and near, and turned his head to see that it was Fox Seventeen who had left and returned, and the fox didn't know why , with a ferocious face baring out his canine teeth, he rushed towards him fiercely!

Before he had time to react, he felt a gust of wind whistling around him, and the white dragon uttered an earth-shattering dragon chant, sweeping towards Fox Seventeen, one dragon and one fox fighting together in the blink of an eye.

Peng Yu was dumbfounded, and thought that all of these cats had lost their chains at critical times, but none of them were reliable.He was thinking about how to save everyone from the hallucinations, and a flash of inspiration came to his mind and he remembered the bone whistle—since it can scare a bunch of demons and ghosts into fear, it might also scare them awake.

With the mentality of giving it a try, he reached into his arms to touch the bone whistle, but unexpectedly found nothing.

Bone Whistle gone?

His heart was going up and down, going up and down in the clouds and dust, almost breaking his chest.In his mind, he quickly recalled where the bone whistle might have been forgotten, denied the village and the road, and there was only one explanation left, which must have slipped out of his arms when he fell off the back of the fox just now.

After reaching this conclusion, he was slightly relieved. Since it was just dropped, he would definitely be able to get it back.He was looking around on the ground, when he suddenly heard a slightly ironic voice suddenly sounding in his ears——

"Are you looking for this?"

Qianyue let Jiuyuan carry him to the end. Originally, all the way was safe and sound, and he could reach a mountain with a narrow field of view. For some reason, a tree fell down in front of him, covering her head and face. She was so shocked that she had to jump in panic. Leaving the dragon's back, she dexterously rolled on the spot to stabilize her figure, before she could ask "what's the matter", a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.

She turned around in astonishment, only to see her young master gestured a "shh" to her solemnly, pulled her into the hiding place without any explanation, lowered her voice, and said straightforwardly: "I don't think it's right, we It seems to have been tricked by these foxes."

Qian Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at him suspiciously, she couldn't see where Jiu Yuan ran, and whether she was hit by a tree or not.She broke free from the opponent's hand and looked him up and down: "Why are you here? Where's Li Yi?"

"He's still on the fox's back, I'll let you know..."

"Nonsense." Qian Yue interrupted him, pawing at his neckline, but he didn't see the red string tied with copper coins, "I knew you foxes were good at distorting disguises, but I'd trouble you to pretend to be a little bit—you're not at all. My young master, who are you!"

"Peng Yu" didn't argue for himself after hearing this, he just laughed lightly, and there was an indescribable irony in that laugh.Qianyue's pupils contracted suddenly, instantly connecting the person in front of him with the image that appeared in a certain night, a nameless anger ignited in his chest, almost without thinking, he drew his knife out of its sheath, and stabbed at the opponent's chest——

"Qianyue?"

Jiuyuan flew to the mountain col, suddenly felt a lightness on his back, turned his head and saw the girl jumped down for no reason, and fell to the side like a cat.He called her suspiciously, seeing that she didn't respond, he hesitated for a second between continuing to catch up with Fox Shiqi and stopping to wait for her, and chose the latter.

He turned into a human figure and stepped forward to gently grab her wrist. Because he didn't want to waste time, he spoke a little hastily: "Why did you jump down suddenly, what happened?"

Qian Yue looked at him with unreasonable suspicion, looked at him and said, "Why are you here, where is Li Yi?"

Jiu Yuan was inexplicable: "Isn't the king on the fox's back? I saw you coming down and came to see..."

"Nonsense," Qian Yue interrupted him with squinted eyes, and for some reason came to pick his neckline, as if he had caught something, "I knew you were uneasy, what is this?"

Jiu Yuan let her chop, and almost froze into a wooden dragon on the spot, his brain went blank for a moment, he subconsciously looked at her palm, but he didn't want her other hand to flash a knife, and the shining blade was approaching his chest in a blink of an eye!

Jiu Yuan probably thought about it, but he couldn't figure out why Qian Yue stabbed him. In the blink of an eye, he didn't have time to activate the spell to resist, and his whole body was wide open, so he had to instinctively dodge back, watching helplessly. The Ghost Slaying Knife was sent into his chest——

When Peng Yu heard that voice, his whole body was almost knocked on the spot. The sarcasm that followed in that voice seemed to have taken root in his soul, and it only took a thread to rise from the ground.A pair of boot toes appeared in front of his eyes, and he looked up, finally seeing the man's appearance clearly for the first time.

This man's life is a little too good, too good to seem natural, a pair of fox eyes are narrow and long, and the arc is as sharp as if carved by a knife.When the thin lips were pursed, it was also like a knife, and when the corners of the mouth were raised, it was like provoking the tip of a knife, like a real sarcasm piercing into the pit of the heart.

Peng Yu frowned, this face made him feel uncomfortable all over, so he had to look away, and found that there seemed to be a jade earring on his earbone, which was obscured by his hair.At another glance, he saw the flexible bone whistle of the other party's fingertips, and his heart sank suddenly. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the dragon and the fox who were still fighting not far away, and felt that he was alone and helpless at the moment.

"Don't look at it," Hu Si sneered slightly, almost turning a small bone whistle, "Do you think your partners are very useless now? You have a pair of eyes that can see through the world , It's a pity that they didn't give you up, and they just led you into the ditch."

As he said, he leaned forward, almost sticking to Peng Yu's ear: "Why don't you just follow me, and I'm not on the same side with those Laoshizi immortals. I just want to be my Qingqiu Fox King, and you can help me grab it!" Get out those disobedient brats, and when I take their inner alchemy and become strong enough, I will keep you at ease in Qingqiu for the rest of your life."

"I'm sorry," Peng Yu stretched out his hand in front of him to shield him, and slid a step away, digging his ears indifferently, "I don't lack money, beauty, or freedom. Be aggressive, let alone coercion. Whether you become a fox king or not has nothing to do with me, I think you foxes are too coquettish, and I am not interested in staying in Qingqiu to conspire with you for a 'great cause', you should find someone else."

Hu Si was not annoyed either, he just hooked his finger behind him: "But there is always someone who has something to do with you, don't you feel bad when you see him get hurt?"

Peng Yu turned his head subconsciously, and saw that the two white shadows fighting together were already stained with blood, the fox's sharp fangs cut through the dragon's hard scales, and the dragon's sharp claws tore the fox's thick fur.

He groaned in his heart, but he didn't dare to show his concern on his face. He could only pretend that nothing happened, looked away after taking a look, and was wary of Hu Si's attack on him. He felt that this was really not a good time to talk about love. .

At the same time, I thought to myself, this illusion is too powerful. Compared with the current situation, Anping Huazhou in the past is simply a pediatrics-this illusion first makes people lose their sense of smell and cannot smell the fragrance of purple rhyme flowers. The fragrance of flowers makes people's vision distorted, auditory hallucinations in the ears and even mental dementia.I'm afraid that the illusion had already unfolded when they first entered Qingqiu, and he was able to wake up until now only because of an extra pair of Qiankun eyes blocking the middle ring.

If he can blow the heavy bone whistle, can he reverse the entire illusion and rescue them?

But how can he get the whistle back from the fox?

The other party's cultivation was unclear, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He was afraid that negotiating with him would waste a lot of time. He didn't know how Li Yi and the others would be injured. Sorry.

When he was at his wit's end, a gust of wind suddenly blew up on the flat ground, and a female voice that he had never heard before pierced the deadlock: "Fox Four! You are not the king of the fox!"
