In the river, the fish are surging and the water plants are lush.
Looking at the scene of the surging fish, Lu Heng showed a nostalgic smile, "I haven't eaten fish for a long time..."
His sudden sigh made the corner of Xiao Ai's mouth twitch, and he remembered the scene of the wolf god eating fish in the back mountain when he went down the mountain six years ago...
"That... If Lord Wolf God wants to eat fish, Xiao Ai will cook it for you later," Xiao Ai said quickly, for fear that Lu Heng would directly swallow the fish in front of so many people.
That is too detrimental to the image of the great wolf god.
Lu Heng laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll have fish for dinner. I've been in retreat for so long, maybe I haven't tasted Xiao Ai's craftsmanship for a long time, and I miss it a lot."
This promise made Xiao Ai heave a sigh of relief.
At this time, the bamboo raft had already descended downstream and reached the edge of Hanyu Mountain.
Not far away is the Shuisheng Village, and on both sides of the river bank is the camp of the Xifeng Department.
The old priest holding a cane, supported by Qianqian, stood on the bank of the river and bowed to Lu Heng from a distance.
Lu Heng also returned the salute from a distance, and said with a smile: "Han Yushan, I will trouble the old gentleman to take care of it."
The old priest smiled slightly and said, "As it should be righteous, the wolf god can rest assured to travel east. With the Xifeng Department here, the evil spirits dare not come to Hanyu Mountain to be presumptuous."
Chapter 255
As the most powerful priest of the nine Li tribes, the old man naturally had the confidence to say such arrogant words.
In fact, the most awe-inspiring monsters in Hanyu Mountain are not only the wolf gods who are cultivating in the mountains and who are not involved in the rivers and lakes.
For the demons, the wolf god is terrifying, but he cultivates in the mountains and does not involve in the rivers and lakes, so as long as he does not go to Hanyu Mountain to provoke death, it will be fine.
However, the Xifeng Department in the Hanyu Mountain often dispatched the Qingzhuang people to go out to patrol, hunt down and kill the passing demons, and lively kill the Hanyu Mountain within a thousand miles, so that not a single demon dares to stop and approach.
Became a forbidden zone for demons.
Even the four old men and the three demon generals in the Qingming Grotto were only full of resentment, but they did not dare to enter this thousand-mile radius to provoke them.
Not to mention that the nine tribes of the Li tribe are of the same spirit, even if it is just a simple attack on the wind, it is enough to be daunting.
And the consequences of angering the nine tribes of the Li tribe, no one party or individual in this world can afford it.
For the Qingming Grotto, the greatest luck today is that the Li people, who were staying in the Fire Tong Kingdom, did not join forces with the sorcerer.
This group of Li people, who are detached from things, have never interfered in disputes in the world of practice. This is the teaching of their ancestors.
Sending disciples to hunt down the demons near the camp is the limit. If the evil spirits don't provoke them, it is impossible for them to really face the Qingming Cave.
After all, they still have a more important mission to accomplish...
Therefore, the Li tribe of Hanyu Mountain is not an enemy that the evil spirits in the Qingming Cave need to be afraid of.
Just as a bamboo raft entered the water, the wolf god in white entered the world. After this scene was seen by some passers-by or birds and beasts on both sides of the long river, the news spread quickly.
Cold Feather Mountain Wolf God enters the world...
This news, like a heavy boulder smashed into the deep sea, set off a stormy sea.
In the fire-connected country, the evil spirits were terrified, and the evil spirits who approached the two sides of the long river quickly evacuated and fled, and they stopped immediately and dared not continue.
The evil spirits, who had already fought with red eyes, briefly restrained their tentacles and retreated to the wilderness, giving this world a few days of peace.
It's just that Lu Heng doesn't seem to care about all this.
A bamboo raft went down the river. Lu Heng on the bamboo raft had a leisurely expression, telling stories with Xiao Ai Guyan, letting the bamboo raft go down the river without using mana to accelerate.
In five days, they were able to walk out of the thousands of miles around Hanyu Mountain.
On both sides of the river, there are not many temporary houses.
Although the river is fast, the drop between the mountains and the mountains is so great that it is impossible to sail. But there are also fish swimming in the water, and birds and beasts in the mountains.
In the past, these wildernesses that might be entrenched by ferocious beasts were terrifying and infiltrating, but in the Fire Tong Nation where evil and evil are rampant today, although there are alien beasts running rampant within a thousand miles of Hanyu Mountain, there are no demons.
Compared with those man-eating demons, people are more willing to face alien beasts.
At the very least, as long as they live in groups, ordinary beasts cannot break through the village and kill people.
In the face of those ferocious and terrifying beasts, people can still struggle to resist, or even work together to force back. Even if there are casualties, it's only a single digit.
But if the monster enters the village, it will be the dead of the whole village, and no one can escape.
Therefore, in recent years, wild people like Shuisheng Village who do not enter the boundary monument and are not blessed by witches, under the advice of the wizards, most of them have migrated to the safe area around Hanyu Mountain for thousands of miles to avoid the demons. scourge.
As for the mortal villagers who were within the city and were blessed by Wu Zhu, they were moved to temporarily live near the city, and no longer settled in the mountains.
The boundary monument set on the boundary of the city, in the past, could frighten the evil spirits, so that the evil spirits would not dare to enter the scope of the boundary monument to commit murder. But not now.
Not to mention the boundary monument, even the city guarded by Wu Zhu, there are evil spirits who dare to attack in groups, and in broad daylight they flee into the city to eat people.
Under all kinds of chaos, the most hurt are the ordinary people without mana.
All the way to the east, the newly built villages on both sides of the river bank migrated from this background.
On the sixth day, Lu Heng and the others left the bamboo raft and landed ashore.
Although this long river goes east, it does not enter the Pangjiang water system. When you get here, you should abandon the bamboo raft and walk.
But everyone is a cultivator. Even the youngest Shen Wuyou is a demon cultivator. He can run in the wilderness like walking on the ground, and he will not be afraid of the toil of the journey.
In fact, the little boy had been restless since he was on the bamboo raft.
He originally thought that after Lu Heng took him down the mountain, he would directly drive the clouds to the east, arrive at Luwu Mountain in a few days, and then go to Qingming Grotto.
However, after going down the mountain, everyone stayed on the small bamboo raft, and traveled east slowly, at a frighteningly slow speed.
Now that six days have passed, they have only left Hanyu Mountain for about a thousand miles.
Especially after the abandoned bamboo raft went ashore, Lu Heng's leisurely pace like an outing was slower than when he went down the river, which made the little boy completely unable to sit still.
At night, when a campfire was lit in the inn that had been abandoned for several years and Xiao Ai started to cook, the little boy who had been holding back all the way finally couldn't bear it and walked to Lu Heng.
"Daddy..." the little boy said, "When we go like this, when will we be able to reach Luwu Mountain..."
The little boy's worried inquiries made Lu Heng look up and glance at him.
He smiled and said, "As short as ten days, as long as half a month, we will be able to walk to the Pangjiang River. When we enter the Pangjiang River downstream, the speed will be the fastest."
"At the latest, we can reach Luwu Mountain before July 15th."
Lu Heng gave the answer with a smile, but this answer almost didn't make the little boy collapse.
"July 15th... that's already too late!" Shen Wuyou said anxiously: "My sister has been captured by the evil spirits in the Qingming Cave for eight days, and I don't know what kind of torture she suffered. Now I have to wait another month. Above... Daddy! Can't we just fly over there?"
The little boy was about to cry.
Seeing him act like this, Lu Heng also restrained his smile and sighed.
"Worry-free think I can rescue Xiaoyu if I hurry up?"
Lu Heng's words made the little boy stunned for a moment, not quite understanding the question.
Lu Heng smiled and said: "Worry-free, you think things are too simple, the Qingming Caves are hidden very deep, and even now, no one knows where their old nests are."
"Even if I take you to Luwu Mountain right now and see where your mother used to live, what's next? Where should we go to find your sister? Wuyou, do you know the location of the Qingming Grotto?"
Lu Heng's question made the little boy stunned: "This... this... "
Lu Heng patted his shoulder and said, "So no matter how fast you are, you won't be able to find your sister."
"On the contrary, if we want to find your sister, we can't hurry now."
"Not only can't be fast, but also slow."
Lu Heng looked at the dark night outside the station door and sighed: "Slow until Qingming Cave can clearly know our whereabouts and discuss a response. Only then can we see your sister."
Chapter 256
Lu Heng's words made the little boy understand immediately.
"Dad means that we have to go slowly, so that the evil spirits in the Qingming Cave will take the initiative to come to the door? Use your sister to blackmail Daddy?"
Lu Heng smiled slightly and said, "Worriless is indeed smart, just what you said."
"Your sister was taken away by the demons. What are they planning? It's nothing more than trying to use Xiaoyu to blackmail me into making some kind of agreement with them, or helping them do something."
"So we are walking in the wilderness now, just waiting for your sister."
"When the demons discuss a result, then there will naturally be demons coming to the door and putting forward conditions."
"If we go straight to the wind and arrive at Luwu Mountain quickly, so that the evil spirits in the Qingming Cave don't know our location, then we won't be able to see your sister."
Lu Heng's words surprised the little boy.
But then, there was some fear.
"But... But Daddy, are there really demons who dare to come before you?"
Although Lu Heng has never shown his means in front of the little boy, the swirling vortex in the Hanyu Mountain, the legend about the wolf god Lu Heng in the mountains, and the praise and admiration of the old man Wu Zhu and his uncle Jie... Beneath that, Shen Wuyou had already understood what kind of "fierce name" his father had among the evil spirits.
Is there really a demon who dares to send it to the door...
The little boy is worried and worried.
Lu Heng smiled and sighed, "Don't worry, someone must dare to come to me. And that messenger, maybe I still know..."
Lu Heng's words made Xiao Ai, who was cooking, move slightly.
Even Gu Yan hanging under the eaves could not help but tilt his head.
The little boy looked shocked: "Daddy still knows the evil spirits in the Qingming Cave?"
Lu Heng shook his head and said, "When I met her, she was not a demon, just a naive and romantic little fox. But now five years have passed, but I don't know how she is... Hey..."
When talking about the little fox demon, Lu Heng couldn't help sighing.
Seeing that the little boy was curious, Lu Heng also briefly told the story that Nanhai met the fox girl Su Xiaoxiao, and her godmother, Mrs. Qingzhu, who was a demon in the Qingming Cave.
The little boy was stunned and couldn't believe it.
"Then Mrs. Qingzhu is a demon, but she doesn't allow her daughter to enter the demonic way? Forcing her daughter to practice the righteous way... Is there really such a demon in this world?"
Lu Heng shook his head and smiled, and said, "Monsters also have emotions and six desires. It's not surprising that there are such monsters who consider their loved ones wholeheartedly."
"In other words, the demon is because the emotions and six desires are too strong, and it is controlled by the magic power, so there are no taboos in doing things. If you want to eat people, you can eat people. When you practice magic power, you can practice magic power quickly and easily. Indulgence, there will be all kinds of chaos in which the demons ravage the world."
Lu Heng looked at the little boy in front of him and said, "Worry-free, your understanding of demons is too one-sided."
"It's not the one who kills and sets fire and commits all evils."
"Above the evil way, there are countless good people and good people. There are not a few demons who hate and reject the evil way."
"After all, in such a chaotic and vicious world, not everyone can fully integrate into it."
Lu Heng's words made the little boy hesitate for a while, and then he said.
"Dad is saying that Mrs. Qingzhu is already remorseful, hates and rejects the devil's way, so she doesn't allow her daughter to cultivate devils?"
Lu Heng thought for a while and said, "That's what I guessed. But whether the facts are true or not, only Mrs. Qingzhu knows."
The little boy said again: "Dad, this lady Qingzhu has remorse, maybe we can try to get in touch with her? Please help? She is one of the four old guests of Qingming Cave. If we are willing to let her go, Maybe let her take the initiative to tell where the nest of the Qingming Cave is? It can also guide her to be kind and give her a chance to change."
The little boy gave advice.
Lu Heng looked at him with a smile, did not immediately reject the proposal, but asked with a smile.
"Worry-free, do you think Madam Qingzhu can be saved?"
The little boy hesitated for a moment, and said, "Since she has regrets in her heart, she may be able to reform herself..."
Lu Heng said again: "Then let me give an example... Now that Xiaoyu is in the Qingming Cave, she may have seen Mrs. Qingzhu. If Mrs. Qingzhu suddenly kills your sister Xiaoyu for some inexplicable reason at this time. Died, and sucked Xiaoyu's blood and soul to practice, making Xiaoyu's soul fly away."
"A few days later, Mrs. Qingzhu came to you and me and said to us, if I am willing to let her go, give her a chance to make a new life, and not pursue her previous murders, including your sister, so she will tell her The location of our Qingming Cave... If that's the case, Wuyou, are you still willing to let go of this demon who killed your sister?"
The question Lu Heng gave with a smile made the little boy stunned.
"This… "
He was sluggish for a while, and finally lowered his head in shame, and said, "Daddy taught me a lesson, that Wuyou is too naive."
"That Mrs. Qingzhu has been in the devil's way for many years. She has murdered and practiced countless people, killing many living beings, and she is full of blood vengeance... Except for the deceased and their relatives who were harmed by her, no one in the world is qualified to forgive her."
The little boy muttered.
Lu Heng looked at him with admiration, and said with a smile, "Worry-free can figure this out, it's very commendable."
