"Well, yes, they all said that the grandfather of the wolf god is invincible in the world, and even the cave owner dare not provoke it."
"If we can follow Grandpa Wolf God, no demon would dare to hurt us."
"We are all smart! Grandfather Wolf God tells us to do anything! We can do everything!"
"Grandpa Wolf God, take us away!"
The children were chattering and begging one after another.
In this scene, Xiao Ai behind Lu Heng looked complicated.
Shen Wuyou, who was seeing such a situation for the first time, was even more stunned, and did not expect the situation to become like this.
While the children were pleading, Lu Heng stood with a smile and did not speak.
It was not until the children's voices gradually weakened until they became quiet that Lu Heng shook his head and said.
"It's too simple... Your request is too simple."
Looking at the ignorant and confused expressions of the children, Lu Heng said with a smile: "I just want to stay away from the demons and make them dare not eat your words. You don't have to follow me, just follow behind the wizards."
"If you practice well and cultivate to a high enough level, you can even kill demons and eliminate demons with your own hands, rescue those victims who have the same experience as you, and make demons fear them."
"So you don't have to follow me, live in the Fire Temple, and no monsters dare to eat you."
"Follow me, and suffer from wind and sleep."
"And more importantly, your hearts are too small."
Under the puzzled eyes of many children, Lu Heng laughed and said: "If anyone of you said just now, you should follow me to cultivate, and when you succeed in your cultivation, go to fight with demons, destroy the Qingming Cave, and flatten the world. Demon, so that there will never be another victim like myself in the world... Then maybe I will think about it."
"But if you just want to live... Ha... With such a belief, you can do it without entering Hanyu Mountain."
Lu Heng smiled and rejected these little dolls.
And hearing this, the children looked at each other in dismay.
But although they listened ignorantly, no one said that they wanted to follow Lu Heng and beg Lu Heng to take him in.
Chapter 271
Inside the deserted village, Lu Heng smiled and talked to the children to soothe their emotions.
And in the wilderness, in a mountain stream five hundred miles away, a black demonic energy suddenly burst out from the stream and turned into a thin and thin scribe under the moon.
Impressively, he was Xiao Juechen, one of the four elders who had escaped from the deserted village.
After showing up, Xiao Juechen was still a little worried, looked around nervously, and then muttered in a low voice.
"Looks like the wolf god didn't follow..."
In the shadow behind Xiao Juechen, a half-rotten head slowly appeared.
Half of the head was rotting, and only one-third of the face was still intact. Now emerging from Xiao Juechen's shadow, he looked around and hummed.
"It looks like you're chasing that Heavenly Evil Lord... Heh... This time it's your fate, there's a stronger demon to give you the top tank, otherwise you won't have a chance to escape."
"However, although you have escaped now, you have sacrificed a powerful demon... Haha... Originally, you expected this Heavenly Evil Lord to join in and help you deal with Emperor Yan's Lian Shanjing, right? Now it's just an empty bamboo basket, your predicament. Still can't break... Hahaha..."
The tone of the rotten head was full of sarcasm.
In normal times, Xiao Juechen might be able to ignore such a tone.
But at this time, he had just escaped from the desperate situation and was in a bad mood, and the sarcasm of the rotten head was extremely harsh.
Xiao Juechen stomped on the rotten head behind him and cursed.
"To shut up!"
Under the moonlight, Xiao Juechen's foot was so fast that he couldn't see clearly, even a cultivator of the same rank could hardly avoid it at this close distance.
However, the rotten head that emerged from the shadow smiled, and instantly moved away from Xiao Juechen's kick.
Keep sarcastic.
"I'm in a hurry? Aren't you the famous smiling face in the Qingming Cave? Where's your city? Why can't I see it at all."
"I can't stand even a little ridicule. With this kind of self-cultivation, why do you call yourself an ancestor?"
The mocking and provocative words of the rotten head made Xiao Juechen look gloomy.
It tilted its head and looked coldly at the rotting head in the shadow behind it, but this time it was no longer angry.
After being silent for a while, Xiao Juechen said coldly, "Nothing will happen to Xie Zun."
Such a determined tone made the rotten head a little surprised: "Oh? Are you so sure?"
"Naturally!" Xiao Juechen said with a sneer, "The wolf god is known to do everything he can to get rid of evil. If he takes action, he won't let go of the demon easily. But when I was fleeing, I didn't see it blocking me."
"Obviously, the robbery cloud over the barren village was not summoned by the wolf god. It should be because we were unlucky and the devilish energy was too strong, which led to the automatic condensing of the robbery cloud."
"If the wolf god of Hanyu Mountain really made a move, he wouldn't just watch us flee and do nothing... So the evil spirit is definitely still intact now!"
Xiao Juechen said firmly.
In this regard, the rotten man shook his head up and down, and nodded: "Well, it makes sense... But if you dare to lie to yourself like this, then do you dare to go back?"
The rotten head smiled and said: "Go back and see if the situation is really what you think, the wolf god of Hanyu Mountain is not there... Do you dare?"
The provocation of the rotten head, Xiao Juechen snorted coldly: "Why should I go back? I have already set a meeting place with Xie Zun, just go directly to Fuyu Mountain and wait for him."
"As for the other monsters, they are just a group of wine bags and rice bags. If they die, they will die, and if they die, they will save their minds."
Saying that, Xiao Juechen watched the surroundings vigilantly again, and after confirming that there were no chasing troops, it turned into a black demonic energy and escaped into the mountain stream again, disappearing along the stream.
And the laughter of that rotten head reverberated constantly in its ears, extremely harsh.
"Hahaha... I'm cowardly!"
"The four guests in the Qingming Cave are old cowards!"
…
…
In the wilderness, demons run.
Outside Zhaoguang City, Lu Heng bid farewell to Wu Zhu here, and set foot on the eastbound road again.
After Shennian's message last night, Zhaoguang City Wuzhu rushed over with a wizard, and received the forty children who were raised by the demons of the Qingming Cave as top-quality ingredients in the deserted village.
Although these children do not know the location of the Qingming Cave, they grew up in the Qingming Cave after all. If you ask in detail, you can still ask a lot of useful information.
However, this kind of thing needs to wait for the children to calm down before doing it.
Until then, the wizards need to appease the hearts of these children and let them gradually integrate into the human race.
As for the parents of these children... Not to mention that these children have never seen their parents since they were young and do not know their parents' names.
Even if they know, their parents are afraid that they have already been eaten by demons.
After all, the demons don't like meat that is too old.
As for the detailed experiences of these children in the Mo Grottoes, Lu Heng did not ask, but the little boy Shen Wuyou chatted with the children all night.
It was not until Lu Heng set off in the morning that he followed up in a gloomy mood.
After walking far away, Zhaoguangcheng was left far behind, and Shen Wuyou's head was still drooping and weak.
When passing through a river bend, Lu Heng said with a smile.
"Worry-free, are you worried about your sister?"
The little boy was stunned for a moment, then woke up from his contemplation and saw Lu Heng looking at him with a smile.
Shen Wuyou hurriedly shook his head and said, "Returning to Daddy's words, Wuyou is not worried about sister, Wuyou... Wuyou is just unhappy."
"Oh? I'm not happy? Why?" Lu Heng asked, "Is it because of those children who were raised in the Qingming Cave?"
The little boy nodded heavily, and said, "These demons are so cruel, there are 100,000 living people in the Qingming Cave for blood food... Maybe when I talk to my father, some people are eaten by the demons. "
The little boy said this with a sad expression.
Lu Heng smiled and said, "That's why we have to destroy the Qingming Cave and rescue those mortals who were raised."
"But Daddy, we... shouldn't we go to Fuyu Mountain? Go to Fuyu Mountain, and you can see that evil demon Xiao Juechen, and he will take you to Qingming Cave. In this way, Daddy can destroy the demons in Qingming Cave as soon as possible. , to save those victims..."
The little boy's words surprised Lu Heng.
"So it's my fault for not going to subdue the demons and destroy the demons right away... Haha..."
Shaking his head with a smile, Lu Heng said, "Although it is a big deal to go to Fuyu Mountain to see Xiaojuechen, it is also a big deal for us to go to Luwu Mountain."
"Maybe the messenger sent by Qingming Cave to negotiate terms with us will be waiting on the road ahead. If we go directly to Fuyu Mountain, we may miss this messenger, and we will not be able to negotiate terms with Qingming Cave."
"If you didn't rescue your sister, what would I do if I plunged into the Qingming Cave? When the demons threatened me with your sister, do you think I'm saving it? Or not?"
Chapter 272
Lu Heng's question confused the little boy.
Lu Hengyi said that he also thought of this, and immediately lowered his head in frustration.
Seeing this, Lu Heng smiled slightly and said, "So don't be in a hurry, you have to be fully prepared to do things. It is said that if you fight a snake, you won't die, but you will suffer."
"To deal with vicious and poisonous snakes like the evil spirits in the Qingming Cave, you must first make complete preparations. As soon as you make a move, you must directly place their deadly holes so that they can't resist moving."
"Blindly impulsive and reckless will not succeed."
After gently educating the little boy, Lu Heng and his party continued to move forward.
This place has left the boundary of Zhaoguang City, and there is a river flowing back in the mountains ahead. Between the surging rivers, the green mountains and green trees on both sides of the river, the scenery is beautiful.
But compared to the scenery, the water god standing in the river is more eye-catching.
When Lu Heng and the others arrived at the riverside, Gu Zhou, who was wearing a divine robe, was standing in the water, bowing and salute.
"Gu Zhou, the water god of Pangjiang, pays homage to the wolf god."
Lu Heng was slightly surprised: "Why is the goddess Jiang here?"
Gu Zhou smiled slightly and said, "In the token on the dog's body, there is a ray of spirituality left by the concubine's body, and the concubine's body will feel when it is close to the Pangjiang, so I came here in advance to wait for the senior."
Lu Heng was stunned and said with a smile: "So it is... Haha... Gu Yan, when you see your mother, why don't you go to greet him?"
Lu Heng's words made the little Gu eagle who couldn't contain his excitement for a long time let out an excited cry.
It is like a baby crying, screaming and flying towards the mother in the river, flying up and down around the ancient Zhou, happy and joyful.
This scene made Shen Wuyou, who was watching, slightly surprised.
Lu Heng explained with a smile, "This is the Pangjiang water god Gu Zhou Niangniang, who has guarded both sides of the Pangjiang River for hundreds of years. Even when the evil spirits in the Qingming Cave are raging today, there are no demons on both sides of the Pangjiang River who dare to be arrogant. "
"In today's Huotong country, apart from the area around Hanyu Mountain, the two banks of the Pangjiang River are the safest."
"So many people from the wilderness came to the banks of the Pangjiang River to avoid disasters, and the boats on the river were more prosperous than in previous years."
"And Gu Yan is her child. After six years of separation, the mother and son are finally reunited."
Lu Heng's remarks made Gu Zhou in Jiangzhong feel a little embarrassed, and he quickly said: "The wolf god has praised me, and the concubine only performed the duties of a river god of water. These are all the concubines should do."
Gu Zhou was extremely humble, while Shen Wuyou was full of admiration.
He followed Lu Heng all the way to the east, and he already understood how dangerous the ravages of the Qingming Caves were.
In the current chaos ravaged by demons, Jiang Shen, who is in front of him, can protect the peace of the two sides of the strait and prevent the demons from approaching and harming others, which is indeed a great merit for the benefit of the people.
Lu Heng smiled and shook his head, watching Gu Yan excitedly talking to his mother, and said, "Since Gu Yan has been delivered, the mother will take him back. I'm going to Luwu Mountain, and I won't return to the cold in a short time. When Yushan is over, let Gu Yan take a period of vacation, let him go home to accompany the empress for a while, and come back to pick him up after a while."
Gu Zhou was a little surprised by Lu Heng's words, and quickly said: "Lu Wushan is in the lower reaches of the Pangjiang River and the mouth of the East China Sea, the senior wolf god can accompany his concubine into the water house to rest for the night, and tomorrow the concubine will personally send the senior to Luwu Mountain. "
Lu Heng shook his head and said, "Don't bother the Empress, Lu Mou can go down the river. Now the situation is critical, and the two sides of the Pangjiang River still need Empress's protection. It is more important not to be distracted by entertaining Lu Mou, or to keep the border safe."
Lu Heng's words made Gu Zhou hesitate a little, and then he said: "Six years ago, the senior wolf god left a secluded spring in the water house. In the past six years, the concubine has protected the deaths of many virtuous and kind people. post-soul."
"There are a large number of Fire Tong Nation wizards who died in the unfortunate battle, and their souls were also sent to the Water Mansion... Would you like to see the senior wolf god? The number of those souls is slightly larger, and a pool of secluded spring water may not be able to hold it. "
Gu Zhou's words surprised Lu Heng.
And so on
Even the souls of the wizards who died in the battle of Huotongguo were sent to this Pangjiang Water Mansion
He opened his mouth to ask, only to know that after the Lich war between Qingming Grotto and Huotong Kingdom began to be fierce, Gu Zhou saw more and more dead people, so he took the initiative to contact Lian Shanjing and informed the existence of Youquan Water.
