Han Shan's Sword Unsheathed

Meng Xueli helped the half-monsters up, and touched Chu Hua's head: "From now on, I don't have to be good at running for my life anymore."

Chu Hua was startled, her eyes were slightly red.

To show his sincerity, King Baihe ordered loudly to the outside of the hall: "Come on demon, let's have a banquet."

Not long after, a group of aquarium attendants filed into the hall, holding red candles, jade plates, fine silk and other exquisite items.The long table is filled with delicacies and delicacies. Under the light of red candles, all kinds of river fresh food are decorated with petals, giving off a hot aroma, and the silver cups and jade chopsticks are full of jewels.In terms of arrangement and color matching, it is far better than the best Pearl Tower in Baihe City.

The three half-monsters looked at Meng Xueli and Ji Xiao together, and only dared to sit down when they saw the two nodding.

King Baihe was in a bit of trouble.Complimenting the opponent's subordinates is nothing more than "heroic, loyal, capable and reliable", but the three half-demon queens, one of them is weaker than the other, so she can only boast: "The little one looks quite white and tender." Said softly Pinch Ruan Hui's cheek.

There were tears in Ruan Huihui's eyes, and he blushed timidly, not daring to resist.

King Baihe patted Chu Hua on the shoulder again, and pointed to the yellow croaker tofu: "Why don't you eat it, eat more."

She is delicate and beautiful, and has a noble status. If it were another monster, I'm afraid she would be intoxicated by the rare tenderness of "the most beautiful monster in the demon world", but the three and a half monsters trembled, only feeling like three "mountain treasures".

Bi You usually has a lively personality and is more courageous than Chu Hua and Ruan Hui. He whispered: "On behalf of the whole bank and all the staff, I would like to extend my most sincere thanks to the king."

King Baihe didn't hear clearly, so he asked, "What did you say?"

Bi You immediately fell silent.

Meng Xueli recalled Qian Yuzhi's demeanor when he was talking about business, and imitated: "Thank you for your hospitality. From now on, the good goods in the world will be sent to the Crystal Palace first in the demon world, and please choose from them."

"You're welcome." King Baihe covered his mouth and smiled coquettishly, "After eating this crystal banquet, I will be a monster from now on."

King Baihe: "I don't know the names of the two yet."

Meng Xueli: "The name is like floating clouds. It doesn't matter if you don't mention it."

King Baihe didn't ask any more questions, and after entertaining the guests and monsters to their fullest, and having fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, he said slowly, "When do you two plan to do it?"

Time is running out before the "Ten Thousand Monsters Conference", and the matter of saving the monsters is imminent, so she naturally hopes that the sooner the better.

Meng Xueli and Jixiao looked at each other: "It's better to be sooner rather than later. It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day."

Ji Xiao: "Just tonight."

"Tonight?" King Baihe was a little startled, thinking that this "Old Snow Mountain Department" is really well established, and he is eighty percent sure, maybe just tonight, his old friend Zihu will be able to escape and regain his freedom.

Thinking of this, the boulder in her heart that had been blocked for many years loosened. She got up and laughed and said, "Happy! Da Yao Gao Yi, drink this cup with me!"

The strong wine brewed from the Baihe River is served in a jade bowl. The aroma is rich and choking, and it enters the throat like a burning knife.

Two people and one demon, toasted and drank in one gulp.King Baihe finished drinking, raised his head and laughed loudly, and suddenly threw the bowl.

There was a crisp sound of "哗啦", and broken jade splashed all over the ground.

The three half-monsters were startled and jumped up.

They entered the Crystal Palace in a daze, were invited to dinner by the king in a daze, and got a shop in a daze.

But there is no such thing as free fresh seafood in the world. Master and apprentice of Changchun Peak made a promise for this, and will go to Zhenyao Pagoda to help King Baihe save people.And if you say go, go, tonight.Could it be that King Baihe was too drunk, and Elder Meng was also too drunk?

Meng Xueli smiled at the half-demons, indicating that nothing happened.

Ji Xiao: "There are still three hours before nightfall, enough to make a plan."

Meng Xueli understood what she said, dipped her jade chopsticks in some wine, and drew wet marks on the table. Two vertical lines under a triangle outlined a steeple.

Meng Xueli: "This is the Demon Suppressing Tower. It is said that it has three floors. What else does your majesty know?" He drew two horizontal lines to divide the tower into three floors.

Ever since his old friend was imprisoned, King Baihe has kept a close eye on the Demon Town Tower every day, and knows more than other monsters: "There are demon soldiers patrolling outside the tower, and there are two shifts of two hundred demon soldiers in each shift. The demon soldiers on duty at night should have been around the tower all night. Patrol, but they are lazy in the middle of the night and will gather outside the tower to drink and chat..."

There was a plate of "Green Beans Stir-Fried Shrimp" on the table, so Meng Xueli picked up a few green beans with his chopsticks and put them outside the tower as demon soldiers.

King Baihe continued: "The demon soldiers are fairly easy to deal with. The real nightmare is inside the tower. There is a thousand-year-old mirage at the bottom of the tower, and the mirage covers the first floor of the tower. No matter who steps into the tower, they will be confused by the mirage and fall into the tower." In the Sea of ​​Fire Prison."

Ji Xiao took a strip of kelp and put it under the pagoda as an old mirage.Meng Xueli dipped in the wine again, and drew a flame mark on the first layer.

King Baihe: "What are the second and third floors? I don't know. I think they are more terrifying than mirages and seas of fire... As for the top of the tower, there is Qingying, the confidant of the King of Lingshan, who is entrenched day and night. He will hunt prey from the tower, and he will come back in half an hour. When he flies high in the sky, his eagle eyes can see hundreds of miles at night, and his hawk can send troops to send messages. Only by escaping into the dense jungle of Montenegro can he have a chance to avoid him search."

There was a plate of roasted chicken on the table, and there was a chicken paw left. Meng Xueli picked it up and placed it on the top of the Zhenyao Tower as a green eagle.A fish eye is added to the chicken feet, which means "night vision for hundreds of miles".

He was quite satisfied with the work, and he glanced at Ji Xiao as if asking for credit.

Ji Xiao lightly stroked the back of his neck: "Zi Ye started, after saving the purple fox, where will the king pick him up?"

King Baihe was stunned, but said: "If he can be saved, let him fend for himself, go wherever he wants, and don't come to see me again."

She brushed away the delicious jade plate on the table, dipped her chopsticks in the wine, and drew several wavy lines: "This is Baihe, this is Heishan, and the tower is at the junction of Baihe and Heishan.

"The sinful demon escapes successfully, and the guards in the tower will be alarmed. They will send a message to Baihe and Heishan. The king of Heishan is a 'bear blind'. Over the years, he has courted the king of Lingshan many times. He will never let go of this opportunity to perform meritorious deeds. He must lead his troops. Rush to the Demon Suppressing Tower. At that time, there will be green eagles in the sky, two demon soldiers on the ground, and the black mountain will block the road, so you can only flee to Baihe..."

Meng Xueli placed another shiitake mushroom as a black bear, and said with a smile, "If that's the case, Lingshan just has an excuse to enter Baihe City to search. It's better to lure the disaster to the east, to Black Mountain."

He thought to himself, and we are in a hurry, so we can only head east all the way to Fengyue City, there is no time to turn back.

King Baihe was a little moved when he heard the words.

Ji Xiao said: "The King of Black Mountain can come to chase down the sinful monster, and so can the King of Baihe."

King Baihe thought for a while, understood what he meant, summoned his confidant, Chief Li to whisper a few words, and fetched a flaming arrow.

"After this is done, I will use this flaming arrow as my name. I will lead a thousand loyal elites of the Shui Clan to dive forty miles outside of Baihe City, on the banks of the Baihe River. I will move when I see the fire, and I will set out to chase the evil monster first, and try to stop it. Before the black mountain demon soldiers. You take this opportunity to go to the dense forest of the black mountain and break through the black mountain blockade. As for whether you can escape the search of the green eagle's eye, I ask the ancient demon god to bless you."

She remembered the dead men who visited the Demon Tower the night before, and never returned, and said in a deep voice:

"We met by chance. If there is no flame tonight, I will light a fish-dragon lantern for you on the banks of the Baihe River every year during the Demon Festival."

Ji Xiao said lightly: "Since we have made a plan, let's go."

Meng Xueli took the flaming arrow, got up and greeted the half-monsters: "Chu Hua stays here until the store opens. Bi You Ruan Hui, let's go."

The three half-demons looked at the green beans, chicken feet, and fish eyes on the table, completely dumbfounded.

Bi You murmured: "Here, let's go now... don't you want to say a few more words?"

……

After nightfall, the wind picked up, and the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds.

The Baihe River lost the light of the moon, the pitch-black water roared deafeningly, and the turbulent waves and clouds pierced through the sky.The demon walks along the riverside, the sky is full of water vapor, the sound of thunder and water makes the demon feel awed, as if if he is not careful, he will be thrown into the surging river, roll with the waves, and be smashed to pieces.

Kingfisher and Gray Rabbit hid in Meng Xueli's sleeves, just like that.

Follow the river to the east, among the vast mountains, a solitary pagoda stands, piercing the night sky like a sharp sword, and sinking into the dark clouds.

The road along the river bank is rugged, and you can't see your fingers. In order to relieve the tension, Biyou chirped:

"Ruan Hui, when I first took shape, I liked a little luan bird. She had a phoenix bloodline. She was beautiful and sang well. The most daring thing I ever did in my life was to pluck out one of her feathers. She chased after Peck. I didn't expect that something more daring would still be waiting for me tonight..."

Ruan Hui's voice trembled slightly: "Why are you saying this? Are you afraid?"

Bi You bravely said: "What am I afraid of. There are people protecting me, so I'm not afraid."

Ruan Hui: "But I'm afraid." He stretched out the rabbit's head from Meng Xueli's sleeve, looking for a sense of security, "Elder Meng, why are you pretending to be the 'Xueshan Old Department'? Is the Snow Mountain King really not dead?"

He heard King Baihe's conversation with Changchunfeng's master and apprentice, and felt that in order to get a shop in Baihe City, it was too much sacrifice to let the dark business pass through the open road.To tell outrageous lies, and to visit the Demon Town Tower at night.

The plan has been made, and the arrow is on the string, so he didn't want to ask more questions.However, in this situation, talking about the deceased demon king can give him a great sense of security.After all, only the Snow Mountain King said that the demon world will be better if the herbivorous demon can eat grass with peace of mind.

Bi You also poked his head out, with the same expression as Ruan Hui.

Meng Xueli saw that the half-demon was trembling, she was really pitiful, and felt sorry for the child laborer's difficult journey, so she looked at Ji Xiao and said frankly, "I'm not dead."

"Ah?" Ruan Hui was stunned, "How do you know?"

Meng Xueli rubbed her nose: "Well, I'm ashamed to say it, but I am."

There is silence in the sleeves, only the wind blows through the forest, and the white river roars.

After a long time, Ruan Hui couldn't believe it, and said in a daze, "Really, Snow Mountain King?"

Bi You rushed out of his sleeve like an arrow from the string: "My lord, you, you, you are still alive!"

"I didn't die, my Taoist companion saved my life." Meng Xueli took Ji Xiao's hand, "He didn't die either."

Ji Xiao held his hand instead and smiled.

"Master Ji Xiao?!" Bi You fainted with a "ga" and fell into Ruan Hui's arms, unconscious.

If Meng Xueli was alone, it is true that he would not be able to break through the tower, but with Ji Xiao and him, the Taoist companion is his confidence.

He is confident that even if he fails to save the demon, he will be able to keep Bi You and Ruan Hui out of harm's way.

Ruan Hui retracted into his sleeves in a daze, without saying a word, as if he had been frightened stupid.

Meng Xueli thought, what's going on, and he said, "I still feel scared? Otherwise, I'll sing a song? I'll give you the song "The Beautiful Demon of the White River"..."

Ruan Hui shook the kingfisher awake: "No, I dare not work for the King."

Biyou struggled to wake up: "Am I dreaming?"

Meng Xueli decided to give the half-demon some time to communicate with the mirage beast first.

The mirage was dozing lazily in the other sleeve, and he picked up the tail of the beast: "Don't sleep, our team, every person, every demon, every half-demon is very important."

The mirage beast said in a milky voice, "I can breathe out even when I sleep."

Meng Xueli almost vomited blood, Ji Xiao took the mirage and asked, "What's the situation like after the mirage has passed a thousand years?"

The mirage beast thought for a while: "It can transform into shape, the mirage is like a real thing, and it can freely retract and release various breaths. When it is not angry, it still likes a cool and watery place, and it also likes to sleep and breathe. If it is angry, it can blow down a whole building in one breath. Mountain."

Meng Xueli sighed, thinking that when I was young, I could level a mountain.

Now that the feng shui cycle is changing, the king of Lingshan has an old mirage entrenched at the bottom of the tower, and his family only has a milk mirage that loves to drill into rat nests.

The demon is better than the demon, and the demon is pissed off.
