Yu Hongchen

The three of them put on the clothes that He Suowu bought, dressed as mortals, and quietly walked around the city wall and left the city gate.Walking on the road leading to the outskirts of the city, Qu Kongqing saw the solemn atmosphere, so he wanted to liven up the atmosphere. He imitated the children's babble, and sang a few songs he heard on the road.Ji Qing was so focused on walking with his head down that he didn't listen; He Suowu was cold-hearted and didn't bother to pay attention.Qu Kongqing felt bored, laughed dryly a few times, but didn't make another sound.

After walking for half a day, they finally slowly approached the place where the monster army was stationed.The monster army was stationed fifty miles away from the city's outskirts, and the guards were heavily guarded. The guards were tall and majestic like gods. He Suowu used a method to expose his whereabouts to the monster army.

The guards of the Yaozu army noticed it immediately, and shouted in a distant voice: "Who is it?" The three pretended to be panicked and helpless, and rushed away.

There was a frail man among the monster clan, walking in front of the team, he seemed to be in a very high position, when he saw the three of them, he frowned and rushed over.The three of He Suowu looked at each other, ran a few steps, and fell down on the spot with a sound of oops.The guards took a few steps forward and captured the three of them: "Take them to the king!"

That monster seemed to be weak, but his strength was not small. He arrested three people, walked into the tent, threw them on the ground, and said to a man in brocade clothes: "My lord, it's these three people! They are sneaking around outside the city." Wait and see!"

The brocade-clothed man turned around, he was so handsome, it was the demon king Jingfeng.

Seeing that the murderer of his sister was right in front of his eyes, Ji Qing suddenly felt hatred, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. Seeing this, Qu Kongqing and He Suowu pinned him tightly from left to right.

The demon king only thought that he was timid and fearful, and ignored him, and asked the three of them, "Are you monks?"

The weak man said: "These three people have no cultivation at all, and their appearance is mediocre, they don't look like monks." The three of them turned into mortals, which is quite different from before. The one belonged to Han Zhu, but Han Zhu had received the order from the Demon King earlier and was not here, so the Demon King and his party couldn't recognize He Suowu and others.

The demon king looked suspiciously at the three of them. There was a light rain last night, and the road was still muddy. The hem of the robes and boots of the three were covered with mud spots. The monks were always clean, and it was impossible for them to get wet. Make dust and dirt.The Demon King didn't have any doubts, and asked, "Who are the three of you? Why did you come to visit me outside my camp?"

He Suowu lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "The three of you Xiaomin were originally... originally residents of the city. They left the city in the morning and walked to the outskirts of the city. Occasionally, they saw all the gods..."

Ji Qing also lowered his head and said: "Xiaomin sees that the tent is tall, people come and go, those wearing armor and carrying guns, you are so imposing, you," he raised his head and asked in surprise: "Who are you? "

The demon king didn't like others to spy on him, and wanted to establish his majesty, he cursed: "You talkative bitch, who allows you to talk?" He swung his palm down, about to hit Ji Qing in the face.

Qu Kong stood up greenly, moved his body, and blocked Ji Qing's palm.He was hit by the demon king's palm on the face, and there was a burning pain in an instant.Ji Qing's body trembled, and when he knelt down, he whispered in his ear: "Are you okay?"

Qu Kongqing hissed, and replied in a small voice: "It's nothing, just treat it as being bitten by an animal."

He Suowu yelled at this moment: "Your Majesty, spare your life! We are just ordinary people passing by, and we don't know anything! Please forgive us, Your Majesty! We dare not sneak up on us anymore!" , the whole camp was filled with his noisy begging for mercy, which happened to cover up the whispers of Qu Kongqing and Ji Qing.

The demon king Jingfeng's ears hurt from his yelling, and he suddenly felt violent, and said viciously: "If you keep making noise, I will pull out your tongue!"

He Suowu said nothing more.

Quiet was restored in the tent again, the demon king let out a long breath, and said again: "You think that by pretending to witness our army by accident, this king will see your unintentional actions and forgive you? Tell me! The three of you What is the real purpose?"

The three of He Suowu retreated to advance in order to lure the demon king to take the bait, hesitated for a while, and said: "A few days ago, the three of Xiaomin were drinking in the city. I heard that many tall and strong people came from outside the city. There are also horse-drawn carriages that fly around in the sky, the whole town has spread the word, we, the few of us heard that there are gods coming here, and we want to come here to learn from teachers...to seek the law of longevity..."

The demon king showed a sinister smile: "Do you want to worship under my sect?"

He Suowu shuddered: "Yes."

The demon king glanced at them, nodded very lightly, and asked suddenly: "Do you know how to cook?"

The three of them didn't expect him to say this suddenly, their faces were stunned, and they all thought to themselves: "This demon king is really weird, why did he ask this question suddenly? Could it be that he is testing us with this?" But in the enemy camp , can't ask too much.After a moment of silence, Qu Kongqing continued: "A little bit..."

The demon king nodded: "Okay, since you know how to cook, let's cook a few dishes for this king."

Qu Kongqing stood up: "I just don't know what dishes the king wants."

The demon king said: "Just a few home-cooked dishes at will. If you cook well, I will accept you as servants and share the road of longevity!" After finishing speaking, he ordered the demon clan to arrange to bring Ji Qing and the three to the demon clan's back kitchen and light the fire. Cook.

The three of them were led out of the tent by a member of the monster tribe. On the way, Qu Kongqing, Ji and He whispered: "By the way, what exactly are you two doing here?"

He Suowu glanced at him strangely: "You didn't know the purpose of our visit, so you volunteered to follow us?"

Qu Kongqing rubbed his nose, hehe said a few times: "I followed eagerly, isn't it for Ji Qing's sake..." As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, and looked at Ji Qing with deep meaning in his eyes .In the past, when he uttered such provocative words, Ji Qing must have been timid and shy, and smiled with his head down.But no matter how much he teases her now, it's hard to see Ji Qing showing a shy smile.Qu Kongqing suddenly felt frustrated, and touched his nose uncomfortably.

He Suowu saw it, sneered in his heart, and replied face-to-face: "Connect with Neiying, lead the demon king to Qiushuimen, and deal with the aftermath of the war by the way."

Qu Kongqing suddenly said: "So that's the case. It seems that it was your sect master's idea again. This is why you pretended to be mortals?"

Ji Qing nodded: "Well, this demon king hates monks, but he only shows mercy to mortals. It is easier for the two of us to pretend to be mortals and sneak into the army of demon tribes."

Qu Kongqing said: "Who should be inside? Do you know?"

Ji Qing shook his head and said, "I don't know. But the head of the sect has told us that once this person meets, he will take the initiative to find us. We just need to wait for that person to show up."

Qu Kongqing let out a sigh and said, "So that's how it is."

Walking to the back kitchen temporarily built by the demon clan, there are all kinds of knives and kitchen utensils, and all the ingredients have been prepared. Qu Kongqing swept the ingredients in front of him and praised: "This demon king knows how to eat."

Ji Qing grabbed Qu Kongqing's sleeve and whispered, "You really know how to cook?"

Qu Kongqing winked at him, and said with a smile: "I've been wandering the world for many years, and it's not all about drinking and having fun, just look at me later."

Not long after, three hot dishes were delivered to the demon king, and after being arranged by the demon clan to test for non-toxicity, the demon king tasted it himself, and said happily: "Well, good skills, the three of you are here Let me become a family member here, Yu Liu, arrange a place for them to live in, from now on, three people will be responsible for my meal until I get tired of eating."

The three of He Suowu knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

The Weak Monster Clan, that is, Yu Liu, took the three of them under the command of the Monster King.Take them to a tall tent, lift the tent, and see that there are more than a hundred mortals crowded inside, or squatting with their knees hugged or lying on their backs weeping, some of them are pale, dull, or even listless, dying.Yu Liu said: "The three of you are quite courageous. Facing my king, your standard is not bad, and you can cook such delicacies that suit his taste." Only then did He Suowu and the three understand that the demon king loves mortal delicacies , sent people to capture many mortal cooks to cook soup for him.It's just that mortals have shallow knowledge and don't know any monsters and other outsiders. Frightened by this, Jie Rili is worried, restless, and his cooking skills are not good, so the food he cooks is naturally not to his liking.

Another day later, the three prepared delicious food for the demon king, and delivered the food to the demon king's tent. The demon king praised the craftsmanship and ate it with great relish.When the wine was hot, the tent door was lifted, and a young man in white robe walked in.The young man in white robe rolled his eyes at the people in the tent, and said with a slight smile: "It's unfortunate that the minister came down, and disturbed the king's interest."

The demon king feasted on it, waved his hand and said, "Yuan Sang, come and try this handicraft, it's really good."

The young man in white robe said with a smile: "Yuan Sang is not used to ordinary people's food, so he has no luck to accept the king's kindness. I heard that the king caught three spies yesterday, so Yuan Sang came here to have a look."

The demon king said: "It's not spies, it's just a few mortals who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and their craftsmanship is not bad." After speaking, he pointed to the three He Suowu standing on the side.

Yuan Sang turned around and looked at the three He Suowu carefully.

The three of He Suowu were vigilant, and they also looked at the boy in white robe who suddenly appeared.This person was personally invited by the Demon King to attend the banquet, and he was able to bluntly reject the Demon King's kindness. It seemed that his status in the Demon Clan was not low.

Yuan Sang took a few steps back and forth beside the three of them, and asked, "Are you city residents?"

He Suowu bowed and said: "Yes, the three of Xiaomin are the residents of the city. They heard that there are gods coming to the world outside the city, so they come here to ask the gods and ask for longevity."

Yuan Sang grinned: "What kind of god? It's all fabricated by ignorant mortals. Speaking of which, I have never seen mortals like you. Ordinary mortals have long been frightened when they see our monster army pressing down on them. Thinking of what Xiuxian asked, what is immortality?"

He Suowu heard that his tone was different, and he seemed to be probing, bowed again and said: "Your Excellency, I don't know, what kind of booklets my three brothers have loved to listen to since they were young, and yearned for the immortals in the books to ride the crane west Go, what are you stomping your feet, reciting the formula, you can call the wind and call the rain, sow beans into soldiers..."

Ji Qing also sighed: "If you want to fly, you can fly, if you want to live, you can live, everything goes smoothly, immortal, how wonderful..."

Yuan Sang was amused when he heard it: "Haha, it's interesting. Since you want to ask the immortals, how can you bear it until now and not try your luck in the land of the immortals?"

The three of He Suowu felt that this was a good opportunity to reveal the truth, Qu Kongqing nodded immediately, and replied: "Yes, I heard that there is a Qiushuimen on the plain thousands of miles away, and the few of us will go too .”

Yuan Sang groaned, and repeated the word "Qiu Shuimen". The demon king sitting in the tent and Yu Liu who was standing in the tent also looked this way when they heard the word "Qiu Shuimen".

Qu Kongqing got excited and boasted: "That's right, it's this Qiushuimen. The three of us, hungry for food and drink, wore stars and wore the moon, and traveled across mountains and rivers to search for that plain for half a month! But we couldn't find it. I don’t know why, every time I look at the top of the mountain, I see there seem to be pavilions and tiles there, looming, seemingly close in front of my eyes, but I can’t get there no matter how I walk, I wonder if I have encountered a mirage!”

Yu Liu sneered at the side and said: "Ordinary people have superficial knowledge and don't know the mysteries of formations. Even the lost magic circle is called a shitty mirage by them. It's really ridiculous!"

Qu Kongqing laughed and said: "That's that, it is said that the head of the Qiushui Gate is a big man with extraordinary abilities. Recently, a group of tens of thousands of demon generals were detained underground. On that day, the entire mountain I trembled a few times, it was so frighteningly scary! We happened to be on the mountain at that time, fell into the mud, and rushed back!" He spent many years in the world and was used to hearing the vulgar slang in the market, now he learned it, It can be said to be lifelike.

But the demon king was horrified when he heard it: "Then the master of Qiushuimen is not dead? Trapped Hanzhu and the others?" He was startled, got up abruptly, and didn't even bother to eat the delicious food in front of him.
