Meng Xueli lifted up the half-demons and patted Chu Hua's head: "From now on, you don't have to be good at escaping."
Chu Hua was startled, her eyes slightly red.
In order to show his sincerity, King Baihe shouted to the outside of the hall: "Come on the demon, come to the banquet."
Not long after, a group of aquarium attendants filed into the hall, holding red candles, jade plates, fine silk and other exquisite items. Delicious delicacies are placed on the long table. Under the flickering light of red candles, various river flowers are decorated with petals, with a hot aroma, and the silver cups and jade chopsticks are jeweled. In terms of color matching, it is far better than the best pearl building in Baihe City.
The three half-demon looked at Meng Xueli and Ji Xiao in unison, and only dared to take their seats when they saw them nodding.
The Great King Baihe was in trouble. Complimenting the opponent's subordinates is nothing more than "heroic, loyal, capable and reliable" and so on. However, after the three and a half demons transformed into shapes, one was weaker than the other, so she had to boast: "The small appearance is very white and tender." She said lightly. Pinch Ruan Hui's cheek.
Ruan Hui had two tears in his eyes, blushing 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, beautiful, and has a noble status. If she were another demon, she might indulge in the rare tenderness of "the most beautiful demon in the demon world", but the three half demons shivered, feeling like three "mountain treasures".
Bi You usually has a lively personality and is more timid than Chu Hua and Ruan Hui. He whispered: "On behalf of the whole bank and all the staff, I would like to express my most sincere thanks to the king."
The king of Baihe didn't hear clearly, and 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, Your Majesty, for your hospitality. In the future, the good goods in the world will be delivered to the Crystal Palace when they arrive in the Demon Realm. Please choose the King."
"You're welcome." King Baihe covered his mouth and smiled coquettishly, "After eating this crystal feast, you will be a monster in the future."
King Baihe: "I don't know the names of the two."
Meng Xueli: "Names are like floating clouds. Don't mention them."
The king of Baihe stopped asking questions, entertained the guests and the demons with enough food and drink, and after the friendship of the landlords, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "When are you two going to start?"
The time until the "Ten Thousand Demons Conference" is pressing, and the rescue of the demons is imminent. She naturally hopes that the sooner the better.
Meng Xueli and Ji Xiao looked at each other: "It's better sooner rather than later, it's better to hit the sun if you choose a day."
Ji Xiao: "Just tonight."
"Tonight?" King Baihe was a little startled, thinking that this "old part of the Snow Mountain" was really in his heart, and he was 80% sure. Maybe tonight, his old friend Purple Fox would be able to escape and regain his freedom.
Thinking of this, the big stone in her heart, which had been blocked for many years, loosened. She felt up and down, got up and smiled and said: "Happy! Great demon Gaoyi, drink this cup with me!"
The spirits brewed with the water of the Baihe River are served in a jade bowl, with a strong aroma and a choking taste, which is like a burning knife in the throat.
Two people, one demon, toasted and drank. King Baihe finished drinking, raised his head and laughed, and suddenly threw the bowl.
"Crash!" There was a crisp sound, and broken jade splashed all over the ground.
The three half-demon were startled and jumped up.
They entered the Crystal Palace in a daze, were invited to dinner by the king, and were in a daze.
However, there is no delicious river fresh in the world, so Changchunfeng master and apprentice made a promise to go to the town demon tower to help King Baihe save people. And if you say go, go, go tonight. Could it be that King Baihe is drinking too much, so is Elder Meng too
Meng Xueli smiled at the half-demons, indicating that there was nothing wrong.
Ji Xiao: "There are still three hours before nightfall, which is enough for the plan."
Meng Xueli understood the words, dipped his jade chopsticks in some wine, and drew wet marks on the table top. Two vertical lines below a triangle outlined a minaret.
Meng Xueli: "This is the Demon Suppression Tower. It is said that it has three floors. What else does the king know?" He drew two horizontal lines and divided the tower into three floors.
Since his old friend was imprisoned, King Baihe has been keeping an eye on the demon tower every day, and he knows more than other demons: "There are patrolling demon soldiers outside the tower, two shifts of two hundred demons each, and 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 "Fried Shrimp with Green Beans" on the table. Meng Xueli picked up a few green beans with chopsticks and placed them outside the tower as a demon soldier.
King Baihe continued: "The demon soldiers are relatively easy to deal with. The real nightmare is in 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. Anyone who steps into the tower will be confused by the mirage and fall into the tower. In a sea of fire."
Ji Xiao clipped a kelp silk and placed it under the tower as an old mirage. Meng Xueli dipped in the wine again and drew a flame mark on the first layer.
King Baihe: "I don't know what the second and third floors are. I think it's more terrifying than the mirage and the sea of fire... As for the top of the tower, there is the king of Lingshan's confidant, Qingying, who is entrenched day and night. Only at midnight, he will leave. The tower preys on the prey, but he will come back in half a quarter of an hour. When he flies high in the sky, the eagle eye can see a hundred miles at night, and the eagle can call the troops to send a message. Only by escaping into the dense jungle of Montenegro can he escape his search. ."
There was a plate of roast chicken on the table, and there was one chicken claw left. Meng Xueli picked it up and placed it above the town demon tower as a green eagle. A fish eye is added to the chicken feet, which means "night vision".
He was quite satisfied with the work, and looked at Ji Xiao as if he was taking credit.
Ji Xiao gently stroked the back of his neck: "Ziye started to rescue Zihu, where will the king pick him up?"
The Great King Baihe was startled, but said, "If he can be saved, let him fend for himself, wherever he wants to go, there is no need to see me again."
She brushed off the precious jade plate on the table, dipped the wine with chopsticks, and drew several wavy lines: "This is Baihe, this is Montenegro, and the pagoda is at the junction of Baihe and Montenegro.
"The successful escape of the sinners will surely alert the guards in the tower, and they will send messages to Baihe and Montenegro. The King of Montenegro is just a 'blind bear', and he has repeatedly flattered and flattered the King of Lingshan over the years. Rush to the Demon Pagoda. At that time, there will be green eagles in the sky, two demon soldiers on the ground, and the road will be closed in Montenegro, 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, there is just an excuse for Lingshan to enter Baihe City to search. It's better to lead the misfortune to the east and lead it to Montenegro."
He thought to himself, and we are in a hurry, we can only go all the way east to Fengyue City, and there is no time to turn back.
When King Baihe heard this, he felt a little moved in his heart.
Ji Xiao said: "The king of Montenegro can come to chase the sinner, and so can the king of Baihe."
The Great King Baihe thought for a while, understood what he meant, and summoned his confidant Li, the general manager, to whisper a few words, and fetched a flaming arrow.
"After the event is completed, I will use this flaming arrow as the sign. I will bring a thousand loyal and elite members of the Shui clan to dive forty miles outside 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 criminal demon first, and strive to stop it. Before the demon soldiers of Montenegro. You take this opportunity to go to the dense forest of Montenegro and pass the blockade level of Montenegro. As for whether you can escape the search of the Green Eagle Eye, please ask the ancient demon gods to bless you.”
She remembered that when she visited the Demon Tower the night before, there were dead men who never returned, and she said solemnly:
"We meet by chance. If the flames don't grow tonight, I will light a fish and dragon lantern for you on the banks of the White River every year for the demon festival."
Ji Xiao said lightly: "Since the plan is set, let's go."
Meng Xueli accepted the flaming arrow and stood up to greet the half-demons: "Chu Hua stay and wait for the shop to open. Biyou Ruan Hui, let's go."
The three half-demon looked at the green beans, chicken feet, and fish eyes on the table, completely dumbfounded.
Bi You murmured: "This, let's go... You won't say a few more words?"
…
The wind picked up after nightfall, and thick clouds covered the moonlight.
Baihe lost the moonlight, the pitch-black river roared, and the stormy waves cracked and the clouds pierced through the sky. On the banks of the Yaoxing River, the water vapor in the sky and the sound of thunder and water make the demon feel in awe. It seems that if he is not careful, he will be thrown into the turbulent river, roll with the waves, and fall to pieces.
Kingfisher and Gray Rabbit were hiding in Meng Xueli's sleeves, which was exactly how they felt.
Along the river to the east, among the vast mountains, a solitary pagoda stands, like a sharp sword piercing the night sky, submerging into the dark clouds.
The road on the river bank is rough, and there are five fingers out of sight. In order to ease the tension, Bi You chirped:
"Ruan Hui, when I first transformed, I liked a little Luan bird. She has a phoenix bloodline, and she looks beautiful and sings well. The most daring thing I have ever done in my life is to pluck one of her feathers and be She chased and pecked. I didn't expect that something more daring would be waiting for me tonight... "
Ruan Hui's voice trembled slightly: "Why are you talking about this? Are you afraid?"
Bi You dared to say: "What am I afraid of. Someone protects me, I'm not afraid."
Ruan Hui: "But I'm afraid." He stretched out the rabbit's head from Meng Xueli's sleeve, seeking a sense of security, "Elder Meng, why are you pretending to be 'the old part of Xueshan', is the King of Xueshan really not dead?"
He heard the conversation between King Baihe and Changchunfeng's master and apprentice, and felt that in order to get a pavement in Baihe City and let the secret business pass the bright road, it was too much sacrifice. If you want to tell a big lie, you have to visit the town demon tower at night.
The plan has been made, the arrow is on the line, and he didn't want to ask more. However, in this case, talking about the deceased Demon King can give him a great sense of security. After all, only the King of Snow Mountain has said that the demon world will be better if the herbivorous demons can eat grass with peace of mind.
Bi You also stuck out his head, with the same expression as Ruan Hui.
Meng Xueli saw the half-demon shivering, it was really pitiful, and he felt that the journey of child labor was not easy, so he looked at Ji Xiao and said frankly, "Not dead."
"Ah?" Ruan Hui was dumbfounded, "How do you know?"
Meng Xueli touched his nose: "This, it's embarrassing to say it, I am."
There was silence in the sleeves, only the wind blew through the forest in the four fields, and the white river roared.
For a long time, Ruan Hui couldn't believe it, and said in a daze: "Really, is it the King of Snow Mountain?"
Biyou, like an arrow from a string, rushed out of her sleeve: "Your Majesty, 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 shook his hand and smiled.
"Real Ji Xiao?!" Bi You fainted with a "ga" sound and fell into Ruan Hui's arms, unaware of the demon.
If Meng Xueli was alone, he really wouldn't have much confidence in breaking into the tower, but Ji Xiao was with him, and the Taoist companion was his confidence.
He was confident that even if he could not save the demon, he would still be able to protect Biyou and Ruan Hui.
Ruan Hui was dumbfounded and shrank into his sleeves without saying a word, as if frightened.
Meng Xueli thought, what's going on, he said, "I still feel scared? How about I sing a song? A "Beautiful Demon of the White River" for everyone..."
Ruan Hui shook the kingfisher: "No, I dare not work the king."
Bi You struggled to wake up: "Am I dreaming?"
Meng Xueli decided to give the half-demon some time to communicate with the mirage first.
The mirage was in the other sleeve, dozing lazily, he picked up the tail of the beast: "Don't sleep, in our team, everyone, every demon, every half-demon is very important."
The mirage said: "I can breathe out even when I sleep."
Meng Xueli almost vomited blood, Ji Xiao took the mirage beast and asked, "The mirage has passed a thousand years, what's the situation?"
The mirage thought for a while: "It can change shape, the mirage is like a real object, and all kinds of breaths can be freely retracted. When not angry, I like a cool and watery place, and I like to sleep and breathe. If I get angry, I can blow down a Mountain."
Meng Xueli sighed, thinking that when I was young, I could even level a mountain.
Now the feng shui turns, the king of Lingshan has an old mirage sitting at the bottom of the tower, and he only has a milk mirage who loves to drill into the rat's nest.
The demon is better than the demon, and the demon is mad.
