The bell of the city tower representing the return of priests and leaders rang, and Jiuyuan City immediately boiled.
The priest is really back!
The tense atmosphere in the city turned into a heated one, and many people burst into tears after hearing the bell. For today's Jiuyuan people, Yan Mo has completely become their indispensable spiritual pillar, just like faith. To put it bluntly, even if all the high-level officials in the city including the leader are dead, as long as Yan Mo is still there and hope is there, they will not be afraid or panic.
At that time, they heard that the priest had been found. Although they were relieved a lot, it was different when they came back and did not come back. It seemed that as long as that person was still in the city, they would be fearless, no matter what kind of enemy they were, they would have the confidence to fight back. With Yan Mo not around, they should still be strong, but... they always feel that something is missing.
Before Yan Mo came back, he also thought about the kind of warm welcome he would get when he came back, but he didn't expect that the one who warmly greeted him first was not people, but a group of animals.
The iron-backed dragon couple, the wildebeest king, and even the eldest among the tortoises crawled this way at their fastest speed.
As soon as Yan Mo got off the city wall, he was surrounded by animals before he reached the central square. All the animals that ran over were trying their best to rub against him.
The guards who arrived like Da He were anxiously trying to drive away the animals outside the circle, and more and more people came here, so they naturally saw this vision.
Yan Mo signaled Dahe and the others not to panic, he didn't feel any malice from the animals, on the contrary he felt that these animals just wanted to get close to him.
Wu Xiaoguo let out a domineering roar: "Hey!" This is my father! You all get out of here!
I didn't move to pay attention to Wu Xiaoguo. If it was before, maybe they would be a little bit scared, but now, they are just a meat dumpling that can only babble.
Master Zeng Wuguo who was ignored: "Wow!" You just wait for me!
The Tebeilong couple are the most domineering. With their huge and hard bodies, they overwhelm all competitors, and their two big heads compete to bow into Yan Mo's arms.
Wildebeest King: "Bah!" Go away! Get the hell out of here! The humans inside are mine!
The tortoise crawled and crawled underneath, and a small snake of unknown species had already entangled Yan Mo's leg first.
There is also a three-tailed firefox scurrying between the iron-backed dragon's legs and feet, trying to find a gap to get close to the person inside.
"Whoosh!" A little tiger-shaped animal with a bulge on its head jumped straight into his arms.
"Crack!" The little monster tiger was slapped away by a little golden monkey.
"Squeak!" The little monkey wanted to climb onto Yan Mo's shoulder.
Yan Mo who silently propped up the protective cover: ... Where did these rare goods come from? Why have you never seen it before
The animals are all anxious to death, why can't they see it! They all ventured out of their dens, but at the end they were not even allowed to get close, how could this be
Yan Mo also had a headache when he was surrounded, so he had to promise: "I don't know what you want, how about this, after I defeat the enemy, I can have a good chat with you, if there is anything that needs my help, I will do my best can."
Animals: Repel the enemy? Do you mean those horned men and skeleton soldiers
The little golden monkey: "Zhizhi!" I know them, they are with the old mandrill now, and the old mandrill is leading his descendants to fight with them.
Three-tailed Firefox: "Aww!" If I kill them for you, can you let me stay with you for a month, no, a year
Wildebeest King: "Hey—" As long as they dare to come to the grassland, I will lead my people to kick them to death! So join me in the future!
All kinds of animal calls sounded, and Yan Mo's head was dizzy. "It's best if you are willing to help. Of course, please pay attention to your safety. If it's too dangerous, then forget it."
It's not that Yan Mo is kind, it's because he used the man-eating bee to attack the enemy before, and after the man-eating bee was damaged, he was punished by the guide.
By the way, what about man-eating bees
Say cannibal bee, cannibal bee arrives.
A large group of "buzzing buzzing" flew over the sky and covered the sky, and all the people who were rushing this way stopped a hundred meters away in fright.
Other animals also began to riot, and even the thick-skinned Ironback was quite a headache for the man-eating bee.
Seeing the long-lost bee guards, Yan Mo released the red wings and flying stings that he had placed in the space. When he went to the Western Continent, he put two bee guards in the second laboratory, and then one day he occasionally found that two of them could also enter the space and live in it, so he put them in the space. Every time the portal is used, these two will also consume a little yuan crystal. For example, last time they only had 69 people, but they needed 70 ninth-level yuan crystals, one of which was spent on these two.
But why on earth are these animals so enthusiastic? I've never seen these animals like him so much before. Although Jiufeng is very rare, and the iron-backed dragon and wildebeest are also very friendly to him, he always thinks it's because he can communicate with them.
Yan Mo lowered his head and looked at the eldest son who seemed very angry and kept waving his small fists. Are these abnormalities related to the life energy mentioned by Old Man Fengyu
So, that domineering and arrogant green sapling in his soul sea is the source of life? I always feel that he seems to have taken a big advantage from the eldest son.
"No wonder you have been playing tricks on me since you were born." The High Priest Mo who was forced to win the lottery was in a very complicated mood.
Wu Xiaoguo waved her small fist, "Yeah!" I am the fruit of Wu's luck, stupid father! But throughout the ages, apart from the human-faced Kunpeng, you are the only one who can really get real benefits from our clan. No, it should be said that even the human-faced Kunpeng has definitely not gained as much benefit as you!
It's ridiculous that someone is looking for a person with great luck everywhere, but she doesn't know that the person with great luck is right in front of her, but she misses it several times.
Look at his father Zhan, who persisted unwaveringly from the beginning to the end, strictly guarded against death, and never moved his nest when he was dominated. It seemed that he was going through all kinds of risks, but is there anyone in this world who grows faster and benefits more than him
Others don't hesitate to sell their lives for a little bit of life energy, but his father can sleep in his arms and suck in his arms every night, as much as he wants! Look at his father Zhan's energy after getting up every day, he is almost overdone!
Yan Mo, who didn't know Wu Xiaoguo's inner world, finally escaped from the encirclement after chatting with the animals.
Thanks to the cannibal bees, not many humans dared to come around after that, and finally everyone reported to the meeting hall.
Yan Mo left a gentle smile to the people of Nine Elements, clenched his right hand into his heart, saluted everyone as a soldier, and then turned and entered the meeting hall.
Outside the hall, the nine people in the square returned the salute, wept and wept, and everyone was completely satisfied. As long as they could see the priest come back safe and sound, even if they were to die immediately, they would be willing.
In the hall, under Yan Mo's order, all the bee guards were hidden.
People looked relaxed, and many people were hooking their heads to peek at the pockets on the priest's chest. Oh, I saw little feet! The little fist is also raised!
If the return of the priest made the people of Nine Elements happy like a festival, then the appearance of Wu Xiaoguo was like thunder and thunder in the clear sky, which shocked everyone and made them confused about the situation.
But it doesn't matter if you don't know the situation, the priest will do whatever he says!
There is a saying that at the beginning of a person, nature is good. Wu Xiaoguo, on the other hand, was born with a vicious nature, and when she was born, she turned into... a black-bellied person.
It probably means staying in Yan Mo's stomach every day to see how he behaves. I don't know if Wu Xiaoguo has learned anything else, but there is one skill that he has mastered since he was born, and that is...
"I'm just smiling! Look, how good my lord Yuandi is smiling!" Sai Yu's mother and others surrounded Cao Ding, laughing so hard that they could see their teeth but not their eyes. They were as happy as if they had given birth to a son of God. Same.
This is the leader of the next generation of Jiuyuan—almost all Jiuyuan people tacitly agree that Yuan Zhan's son will definitely become the next leader, not to mention that the young emperor Yuan is the same blood as the leader and the priest!
As for how the two men made a baby, this is not a problem for the Jiuyuan people at all, because their priest is omnipotent!
"I heard that you gave birth to a baby with Yuan Zhan?" Like a gust of wind, the curse witch who heard the news rushed over, and when he came in, he shouted to Yan Mo who was sitting at the top.
Yan Mo smiled proudly: "That's right. This is the eldest, and there is a second child who is still pregnant."
Yuan Bing, who was reporting the situation: ... I always feel that my heart has been stabbed again.
The curse witch laughed, he looked Yan Mo up and down, as if he saw something or felt something, but there were so many people here, he didn't ask anything, he just gave Yan Mo a look that only master and apprentice could understand .
Cao Ding hugged Yuandi to greet the Curse Witch, and smiled as if offering a treasure: "Master Zuwu, look, this is the young master Yuandi, look how good he looks."
The curse witch hurried forward, he didn't care about little babies, on the contrary, he hated these little monsters who could only cry, but the son of Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan? No matter how bad it is, he always has to take a look. If it is pleasing to the eye, he will put a curse on him for protection. If it is not pleasing to the eye, um, let him die.
Wu Xiaoguo's big black eyes met Zhu Wu's old eyes.
In less than a second, the little tender mouth turned up, the little baby smiled, and the chubby hand was still stretched out in the direction of the witch.
Cao Ding was delighted: "Master Zuwu, look, Master Yuandi likes you!"
The witch narrowed his eyes.
Classmate Wu Xiaoguo: "Yeah!" Old man, my young master is so cute, you actually look at me suspiciously, believe it or not, I swallowed you!
In the eyes of others, the little lord Yuandi laughed so happily, and this child has never cried or made a fuss no matter who hugs him. I have never seen a better child than him.
Zhu Wu stretched out his hand, and Kuomachi carefully handed Wu Xiaoguo to Zhu Wu.
The curse witch held the small baby in one hand, lowered his head and looked at him for a long time.
Don't like my smile? It just so happens that I don’t want to make fun of you, sir. Wu Xiaoguo opened her small mouth, showing four glutinous rice teeth in a demonstration.
"Biu!" A stream of urine landed on the curse witch's robe impartially.
Others hehehe, there were no words of blessing for children in diapers at this time, and everyone's reaction was to laugh and laugh.
Yes, after many times of practice, he can finally control the direction of peeing, and he will not do stupid things like peeing on himself again. Wu Xiaoguo put away her smile, and her small face could make people see the cool and arrogant expression of "You bastard, don't hesitate to thank En and leave".
The witch suddenly let out a strange laugh.
Student Wu Xiaoguo saw that something was wrong, and opened his mouth: "Wow!"
In an instant, the magic sound penetrated the brain.
How many people covered their ears when they heard the cry. At this moment, everyone felt as if their brains were pierced by something.
Yan Mo raised his eyebrows, he was the only person in the hall who was not affected, even the witch frowned.
Is this one of Wu Guo's abilities
Isn't he wood attribute? How do you make the sound Gong? Could it be that this kid inherited part of his Shanyan clan's blood, but instead of developing in his direction, he mutated into an attacking ability
It has to be said that Yan Mo is the person who knows Wu Xiaoguo best, and his guess was later proved to be completely correct. Wu Xiaoguo inherited his and Yuan Zhan's blood, and then streamlined and fused them, leaving only some of the most offensive abilities, especially his innate skills were mutated by the fusion of Yan Yuan's blood and became a kind of An extremely terrifying devouring ability.
It is said that this ability is terrible because Wu Xiaoguo can devour everything he wants, including ability, energy, everything, and everything swallowed by him can be converted into energy for Wu Xiaoguo to use. He will spit it out again.
Of course, the current Wu Xiaoguo is not so powerful, and his ability needs to be awakened step by step. At present, it seems that only Yingong has been awakened, and he has to rely on crying.
The curse witch laughed and threatened the child: "Do you want me to silence your voice? Do you want to not speak for a few years?"
Wu Xiaoguo stopped crying. In the first round against the witch, it was a draw.
Curse Wu held Wu Xiaoguo in his arms and looked at his apprentice, "This kid is a bit weird, I'll take it away and have a look, and I'll return it to you later."
Yan Mo stopped the curse witch, "Don't chop it up."
Everyone in the hall: "..."
The curse witch laughed loudly, and walked away with the baby in his arms.
Wu Xiaoguo: ... Bad dad, I hate you!
Yan Mo was not worried at all when he saw Wu Xiaoguo being taken away by the curse witch. He looked back at Yuan Bing, Wu Chen and the others, and said with a smile: "Where did I just talk, continue."
Wu Chen wanted to see Wu Xiaoguo very much, but he had a heavy responsibility on him. Except for a glance before, he didn't touch Wu Xiaoguo's side behind him. Now that Wu Xiaoguo was taken away, he felt relieved.
Yuan Bing was the person who was least affected before and after, at least on the surface, and he continued to report the follow-up situation of the civil strife very calmly.
"... That's how it happened. The leader has been keeping people watching Huang He. After Huang He got married, I gave full power to watch her. I asked people to pay attention to her, and ordered them to stop as long as Huang He behaved out of line." Reported, later Huang He began to seduce some soldiers, we didn't pay attention at first, some men and women in the city are used to their previous life, even after marriage, some people still want to be with more people, come here before they cause trouble , as long as their partners don’t sue, we have nothing to do with them. But after Huang He started to seduce the little leader of the soldiers and some small managers, we started to pay special attention to her, and then found that she used slave bones to control the people she seduced.”
"Slave bone? Where did she get the slave bone?" Yan Mo frowned.
Yuan Bing: "This is also one of the things we are investigating and interrogating. Now we only know that those slave bones came from a mysterious person. It was that person who handed over to Huang He, and that person gave Huang He hope and provoked her. Dissatisfaction with Jiuyuan. According to Huang He's confession during this civil strife, the mysterious person agreed with her to cooperate internally and externally, but she started on one side, but there was no response on the other side. Huang He felt that she was cheated, and we didn't use much torture. She told everything, but no matter how you asked her, she said she didn't know who the mysterious man was."
"What about the appearance?"
"She couldn't explain clearly. She only said that the other party was pale and handsome."
Yan Mo knocked on the armrest, "Those fighters controlled by slave bones?"
Yuan Bing, "Except for a few people, everyone else has been temporarily guarded, waiting for you to release their slave bones. Because Master Zuwu said that you can release slave bones, so after discovering that those soldiers and stewards were controlled, We left them alone for the time being, and wanted to see what Huang He wanted to do. However, some people would rather be punished by the slave bones and report to us. Master Zuwu rescued all these people, but Master Zuwu will not release the slaves Bones, they can only temporarily put them in a state of suspended animation."
"So this civil strife has no loss in the city?"
"No." Yuan Bing said with certainty: "We have been monitoring, and Huang He was controlled by us as soon as he started, and they burned two haystacks. This is what they planned to distract us. "
Yan Mo, "I will leave the matter of Huang He to you. You must ask about the details of that mysterious person. By the way, I remember that Lan Ma's face is very good. You ask Lan Ma to go and try to draw a picture according to Huang He's description." The deputy has a look."
Yuan Bing's eyes lit up, "Can you still do this? Alright, I'll ask Lan Ma for help later."
Lan Ma is Hide's partner, Hide is fighting outside, Lan Ma is working in logistics, and is not in the city now.
"Is there any change outside the city?" Yan Mo asked again.
Yuan Bing looked at Lie, and Lie stepped forward, "Now I am in charge of the patrol and investigation from outside the city to Dahekou. Before you come back, we are still investigating. From what we have learned so far, no enemy has been found yet. trace."
Yan Mo organizes his thoughts, he always feels that he seems to have missed something, right! "I remember you said that the witch put a curse on the city for protection. Anyone who has bad intentions towards Jiuyuan will be cursed when he enters Jiuyuan. When did this happen? Was it before that mysterious person came into contact with Huang He or after?"
Yuan Bing answered clearly: "Afterwards."
"Will the curse of the witch have any effect on the enemies who entered the city before the curse and did not leave?"
Yuan Bing and the others expressed their ignorance, and Yan Mo planned to ask the witch in person later.
Yuan Bing and the others also became a little nervous, especially Yuan Bing, who still had some anger in his eyes. If the enemy had really been hiding in the city all along, he, as the person responsible for the security of the entire city, would be considered dereliction of duty. Regarding this point, how could the proud original ice bear it.
Yuan Bing was worried about this matter, so he didn't stay in the hall, and when he went out, he ordered people to search all the places in the city where people could hide under the pretext of quelling internal strife and looking for foreign enemies.
Hunter, Kusamachi and others also came up one by one to report the things they were responsible for.
After that, all the people in the hall withdrew, leaving only the guards such as Wu Chen and Da He.
The things Wu Chen was responsible for were very complicated and trivial, but this child handled them clearly, one by one, without any confusion or confusion.
This is probably also the reason why Hide dared to hand over all the government affairs of the entire city to a boy who was only eighteen years old.
After Yan Mo praised him, Wu Chen didn't take the credit, he said he was able to do this, Ye Xing and Xiao Hei both helped him a lot.
"Xiao Hei?" It's not surprising that Ye Xing can help Wu Chen, this kid is in charge of the transaction, but Xiao Hei? Yan Mo remembered clearly that when he and Yuan Zhan left Jiuyuan for Wucheng, that kid was still riding around on an iron-backed dragon. How long has it been
"Xiao Hei has awakened the power of divine blood." Wu Chen's eyes were full of unadulterated joy.
"His ability is special?" Yan Mo guessed.
Wu Chen nodded vigorously, took a step forward, and signaled to Yan Mo to have a whisper.
Yan Mo smiled, pulled the big apprentice to his side, patted him, "Speak."
Wu Chen looked at Yan Mo with admiration, the master turned from a boy to a young man once he went out, which is why the city guards didn't recognize him at first sight. But any kind of master is very good!
It's not that no one doubted whether their priests were faked, but Sand Wolf, Dahe, Yuan Bing and others didn't have the slightest doubt when they saw Yan Mo at first sight. All doubters disappear, and animals are the most sensitive.
Wu Chen didn't suspect at all that the person in front of him was not his master. No matter how Yan Mo changed, it was strange that his aura could be recognized immediately.
Speaking of which, Master’s return this time seems to make people want to get closer. I didn’t see the iron-backed dragon and the wildebeest king and other animals from a long distance, but they smelled and ran over, crowded and crowded, and wished to follow his master. Side does not leave.
"Stupid boy." Yan Mo rubbed Wu Chen's hair, this apprentice was the most worry-free among his several apprentices, and also the most reassuring for him.
Perhaps because his demeanor and movements were very natural, Wu Chen didn't feel shy when his master who was only three years older than him touched his head. He even took the opportunity to rub Yan Mo's palm with the top of his head, a little presumptuous.
"Master, Xiao Hei's divine blood ability is amazing. He can feel what is thinking in a person's heart. It is not very specific, but good or bad, good or evil, whether it is true or false, he can feel it as long as he has contact with the other party for a while. .” Wu Chen lowered his voice to a minimum.
Yan Mo was shocked, this ability is really amazing! So he lowered his voice subconsciously: "Apart from you and him, who else knows about this?"
"Only Grandpa Curse Wu." Because of Yan Mo's request, all his disciples now call Curse Wu Grandpa.
"Grandpa Curse Wu told us not to tell about Xiao Hei's ability. He said that we can tell you and the leader when you come back, and no one else can tell. They don't know about Mr. Hide."
Yan Mo relaxed, "Grandpa Curse Wu is right. Xiao Hei's ability is too good, so good that people will reject him and fear him. In the future, don't tell other people about this. There, I will explain to him."
Wu Chen is also relieved, he is no longer a child, so he naturally understands how valuable Xiao Hei's ability is, but at the same time it is so valuable that people can't help but be wary of him, after all, no one wants to show their thoughts naked in front of others.
Yan Mo immediately decided that before looking for the curse witch, he should talk to Xiao Hei first. This ability is good, but for children who are not ready physically and mentally, the burden is too heavy. Even adults who have experienced the world, if they do not do a good job of psychological counseling, it is only a matter of time before they collapse and become abnormal.
At this time, classmate Wu Xiaoguo, who was "ravaged" by the curse witch: "Wow!" Dad, when will you come to save your son? Taking my blood with his fingers, the most terrifying thing is that he seems to want to boil me in a pot! Whoa!
In the city, Zhan Mo Academy.
A slender man walked on the school's gravel road, which was built by the students themselves, using pebbles picked up from the river.
"Hello, Mr. Li!" A student ran past the man and turned to greet him.
The man returned with a gentle smile, "Hello, you are in such a hurry, where are you going?"
The student stopped, turned back and said excitedly: "Mr. Li, did you hear the bell? The bell rang nine times in a row, indicating that the leader or the priest is back!"
"Oh?" The man paused, "Have those two returned yet?"
"Yes, yes, the martial law has just been lifted. We are going to meet the two adults. Mr. Li, do you want to go with us?"
The man seemed to be thinking for a while, smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, you guys go first, I still have something to do, I'll go there later."
"Okay, Mr. Li, let's go first!" The students bounced away, and the laughter could still be heard far away.
The man stood there for a while, then whispered, "It will be different once you come back, tsk."
