It's just that the mountains are now covered by heavy snow, but no businessman dares to walk outside in such a season. In the howling winds of the cold winter night, countless ferocious beasts and mountain demons swarmed the wilderness, ambushing passers-by.
The disappearance of Wuyou Wuyu's sister and brother made Lu Heng and Xiao Ai's trip to the wilderness a lot lighter, but it was also a lot more deserted.
After all, Lu Heng and Xiao Ai are both less talkative.
Before going down the mountain with Xiao Ai, it didn't seem strange that Lu Heng talked less between one person and one wolf. Now that he is accustomed to the quarrel between Wuyou Wuyu and his brother, Lu Heng felt a little empty in his heart without the company of these two children suddenly.
But the deceased cannot be resurrected, let alone Wuyou Wuyu sisters and brothers who died two or three hundred years ago, but were created out of thin air by demons using sorcery.
Now that the truth has been revealed and the phantom has disappeared, the two brothers and sisters who didn't exist in the world naturally turned to dust and dust to dust, and even Lu Heng couldn't rescue them.
Thinking of this, Lu Heng felt a little bitter in his heart. He looked up at the flying snow that filled the sky, and sighed: "After all, I failed to catch up with this year's New Year's Eve..."
Lu Heng was still thinking, on New Year's Eve, give some red envelopes to the fake two children.
Xiao Ai, who was following behind Lu Heng, remained silent and did not express her opinion on the matter.
One man and one wolf walking in the wilderness, stepping on the white snow, has almost become the only trace of activity on the cold and dead pale earth.
At their speed, I'm afraid they won't be able to get out of the bear country in ten years.
However, if the group of monsters in front did not speed up, Lu Heng naturally couldn't speed up either, and could only keep going north at a similar speed to the other side.
Lu Heng was very confused. Could this group of monsters flee at such a rapid rate, could they have guessed that he had been following behind
I don't know what the plans of this group of demons are. Before staying near Zhuxian Town, Lu Heng thought they were going to interfere in the changes in Zhuxian Town. However, in the end, they could not be found in Zhuxian Town.
Now that the demons continue to travel north, the speed is still so slow, and it took only three days to travel a thousand miles.
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the group of demons still couldn't stop, and there was a big city within the range of the other party's stay, so Lu Heng had to wonder if the group of demons also wanted to join the fun in the city. , Over New Year's Eve.
In the wilderness, Lu Heng and Xiao Ai built a temporary camp beside a frozen lake.
Since the cultivation base is strong, Xiao Ai's flower life has become more and more. She specially trained a simple small magic weapon, and this magic weapon has no other purpose, just a slap-sized wooden house.
Whenever Lu Heng stopped with her, Xiao Ai took out the cabin and put it on the open space. The palm-sized cabin quickly enlarged and finally turned into a quiet courtyard with three entrances and three exits.
In the courtyard, the pavilions, the curving water, and the green bamboos are shaded by green bamboos. It really is a very quiet hermit residence, which is very much in line with Lu Heng's preference.
And in this quiet courtyard with three entrances and three exits, the temperature is like spring all year round. Even in today's cold winter and twelfth lunar month, as long as you step into the yard, you won't feel cold.
Now this small yard was placed beside the frozen lake by Xiao Ai, and it suddenly appeared in the wilderness. If passers-by see the secluded courtyard suddenly appearing in this wilderness, they will definitely think that they have encountered a middle-aged secluded demon in the mountains.
Lu Heng named the courtyard [Green Bamboo Garden].
Today, Lu Heng is sitting on the terrace near the lake, watching the flying snow falling from the sky, a dazzling white light is suspended in front of him, and a slap-sized villain floats up and down in the white light.
In the white light, the power of Tianlei was wispy and swept from time to time, sacrificing the little man who was completely composed of Tianlei sand.
In the back kitchen, the smell of food wafted out, and it was Xiao Ai who was cooking.
And in the white light in front of Lu Heng, the villain made of thunder sand that day was pitch black and had only simple limbs. But as Lu Heng's thoughts were shaped, the pitch-black villain gradually had curves, and the color of the body surface gradually faded to pitch-black.
In the end, it turned into a little girl with silver-haired animal ears. It is the miniature version of Xiao Ai.
Seeing that Tianlei Sand was successfully shaped, a smile appeared on Lu Heng's face. He waved his hand away from the thunder light, who was training the magic weapon, and caught the shrunken version of Xiao Ai that fell.
The feeling of the tentacles, while the cold hands are cold, there is a faint aura of thunder.
This is the "servant" that Lu Heng prepared for Xiao Ai. Although the Green Bamboo Garden is quiet and elegant, it has no servants. Every time Xiao Ai cooks and cooks by herself, Lu Heng wants to add a few helpers to her.
It just so happened that there was still Tianlei sand in his hand, so he used Tianlei sand as the foundation to sacrifice and train a simple puppet.
It's just that although the little Ai in his hand has already begun to take on the charm and is almost exactly the same as Xiao Ai, it is only the most basic shaping success.
But the shape is so simple, but it aroused Lu Heng's interest. He took out the remaining Tianlei sand and started the ritual training again.
When Xiao Ai came to call Lu Heng to eat, on the terrace in front of Lu Heng, there were four little girls with silver-haired animal ears and indifferent faces standing side by side.
Although all of them are only the size of a palm, but each of these "Little Ai" has delicate and fair complexion, a cold face, and drooping silver hair, they are simply real people.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ai was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Zui subconsciously grew up.
"Wolf... Lord Wolf God..." Xiao Ai stared blankly at this scene, a little confused.
Lu Heng turned his head and smiled, and said, "Help you sacrifice and train a few puppets and put them in the green bamboo garden. In the future, you don't have to do everything yourself. You can directly ask them to do some chores. You can also call them directly to deal with the fish.”
"But now it's just been shaped successfully. If you want to really move, it will take a long time to practice. If you have four dolls, it will take about half a year at least?"
Lu Heng smiled and said, "Anyway, there is nothing to do on the northbound journey, and if you are idle, you are also idle, so let's practice your hands... How about it? I'm doing exactly the same as you, right?"
Lu Heng smiled and handed over one of the dolls.
Xiao Ai's face was slightly red, and she was a little embarrassed after receiving it. Lu Heng had already stood up and said, "Okay, let's eat first. After dinner, the food will be cold."
At this time, the sky has gradually darkened.
Since Lu Heng and the others left Zhuxian Town and headed north, they have not seen Lieyang for so many days. Every day is cold and windy, snow is flying, and the sky is completely obscured by dark clouds.
Several times, Lu Heng was curious and wanted to fly into the clouds to see if he could find the dragon clan as Ao Tianxing said.
It's just that it's snowing and not raining now. The dragon belongs to the category of clouds and rain, and the people are surrounded by people, but they don't know if it's snowing or not.
Rain and snow on Earth are essentially the same thing, both water, but in a world that doesn't obey the laws of physics, snow and rain aren't necessarily the same thing.
After all, it is impossible for the snow on the earth to come to the whole world at the same time, and it is the same severe winter no matter the east, west, north and south...
Although the sky was getting darker and darker, the vast white snow was still falling in the night sky. When the misty white snow fell in the green bamboo garden, it disappeared silently.
In front of Lu Heng and Xiao Ai sitting in the courtyard, there was a sumptuous feast of six dishes and one soup, all of which were Xiao Ai's cooking skills. It may be too much for mortals, but with the amount of food a practitioner can eat, they can naturally eat them all.
At the dinner table, Xiao Ai said: "Lord Wolf God, tomorrow I want to go to the city ahead to buy something. New Year's Eve is coming, Xiao Ai wants to cook a real New Year's Eve dinner for you."
The little girl's eyes were full of anticipation.
Although she has been with Lu Heng for almost nine years, she has never really spent New Year's Eve with Lu Heng. Now that she can stay here, the little girl is actually quite happy in her heart. She secretly prays and likes that the group of demons can stay here until the end of the year.
Seeing the expectation in Xiao Ai's eyes, Lu Heng nodded with a smile and said, "Then I will trouble Xiao Ai tomorrow. The New Year's Eve dinner can't have only six dishes and one soup~"
Lu Heng's words made Xiao Ai very happy and nodded quickly.
In this way, the little girl had a happy smile on her face until she finished eating with the bowls and chopsticks in her hands. Xiao Ai, who has always been indifferent and indifferent, is now smiling.
After Lu Heng finished his dinner, he returned to the terrace by the lake again, sitting on the edge of the terrace to practice puppet dolls against the cold wind.
However, such a peaceful night was quickly broken.
A dazzling light flew from the sky in the east and landed directly in the center of the ice lake.
After the escaping light dissipated, two figures, one blue and one purple, appeared in the heavy snow. It should be two brothers, with very similar facial features, one blue and one purple robes shimmering faintly in the night wind.
Obviously, it is the top practice.
Lu Heng, who was training the puppet, stood up, put Leiguang and the puppet back in his sleeves, and cupped his hands in surprise, "What are you two fellow Taoists here?"
These two people definitely came for him, Lu Heng. But Lu Heng didn't quite understand their origins.
However, the two of them didn't want to hide their origins. Seeing Lu Heng salute, they quickly bowed to Lu Heng and said, "My brothers, in the name of His Majesty the King of Humans, have come to invite the wolf god to tomorrow's New Year's Eve. The banquet. The wolf god exterminated the ancient evil and quelled the evil in Zhuxian Town, which made His Majesty admire it, but now that the New Year's Eve is approaching, the palace of the human king is busy with chores, so His Majesty sent me and the two to find the wolf god. "
"Otherwise, according to His Majesty's thoughts, he should have come to greet him in person... I wonder if Wolf God will be free tomorrow?"
The respectful questioning of the two brothers surprised Lu Heng.
Human king
Although I know that in this world, there is a co-owner of the human race, who is above the nations. However, that person, the Palace of Kings, has always been aloof and seldom involved in human affairs, let alone interfering in the internal affairs of various countries.
Only when disasters such as Zhuxian Town's mutation come, the Palace of the King of People will come forward to resolve the danger.
In Lu Heng's view, it is more like a firefighter who is revered and worshipped by the world, but has no sense of existence, and the fuse of the righteous world.
But I didn't expect that this fuse is now sending someone to invite Lu Heng to the banquet...
Lu Heng looked at the sky and said with a smile, "This place is thousands of miles away from the Palace of the King of People. Even if we set off now, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the New Year's Eve banquet."
Lu Heng politely refused.
However, he saw a practitioner wearing a cyan robe bowing to Lu Heng: "Back to the wolf god, my two brothers have brought a floating light boat, the most precious treasure of the Palace of the King of Human Beings, which can continue to travel with the rapid escape light of the world. , but you can rush back to the Palace of the King within half an hour. Make sure that the wolf god can catch up with the New Year's Eve feast."
The words of the practitioner in Tsing Yi surprised Lu Heng even more.
Floating light and boat, Lu Heng has also heard of this thing, it is one of the treasures of the Palace of the King. Looking at the world, it is also a top baby, but now it is used to invite Lu Heng to a banquet
This sincerity is too much.
In the night wind, Lu Heng hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Ai behind him.
In the end, he still smiled bitterly and said, "Sorry, Lu Heng has made arrangements for tomorrow, so he really can't attend the banquet, which has betrayed His Majesty's good intentions. I also hope that the two fellow Taoists will go back and explain the situation for Lu Heng. In the future, Lu Heng will definitely come to the door to apologize. ."
Xiao Ai's desire for tomorrow's New Year's Eve dinner is something Lu Heng sees.
How could he let Xiao Ai's expectations fail for the invitation of a king he had never met
Therefore, Lu Heng refused this banquet invitation that was enough to make the world go crazy.
Chapter 393 Dao Heart Demon Seed (1)
Above the ice lake, the snow fell all over the sky.
After hearing Lu Heng's refusal words, the two cultivators were slightly startled. They never thought that someone in this world would refuse the invitation of the king to a banquet.
But thinking of the various mysterious legends of the wolf god in front of him, as well as the deeds of the other party's suppression and quelling of the ancient demons that even his Majesty had a headache, the fact of refusing His Majesty's invitation to a banquet seemed to be acceptable.
After all, this Cold Feather Mountain Wolf God is also one of the top existences in the world.
The two cultivators looked at each other and bowed to Lu Heng with a wry smile, and said in unison, "In this case, my brothers will not disturb the wolf god Qingjing."
"However, when the two of my brothers set off, His Majesty the King once said that if the wolf god cannot attend the banquet this time, he will let me and the two leave the floating boat, and when the wolf god is free, we can directly drive the floating boat. The light boat goes to the Palace of the King of Humans, and His Majesty will always wait in the palace for the arrival of the Wolf God."
With that said, the practitioner in Tsing Yi took out a palm-sized sapphire boat and gave it to Lu Heng respectfully.
On the balcony, Lu Heng looked at the sapphire boat flying towards him, a little confused.
"This... The floating light boat is the treasure of the palace of the king, is it inappropriate to stay with me?"
Lu Heng felt a little hot.
Although this floating light boat can only travel to and from the Palace of the King of People, it cannot go to other places.
But the continuous [floating light] escaping light is the fastest treasure in the world, and there is no treasure in the world that can be faster than this thing. It is a treasure that has been inherited for many years by the Palace of the King of People, and it is extremely precious.
However, the practitioner in Tsing Yi said: "The wolf god's words are serious. Your Majesty once said that the floating light boat is a small object. If the wolf god likes it, it will be given to the wolf god... Well, the younger generation will not disturb the wolf god's purity, so I will retire. ."
After speaking, the two cultivators in blue and purple saluted Lu Heng respectfully again, and then turned into a light and left.
On the frozen ice lake, only Lu Heng and Xiao Ai were left.
Holding the palm-sized sapphire boat, Lu Heng sighed and said, "This King of Humans is a wonderful person."
The other party brought a treasure of this level. Even if Lu Heng didn't have time to go to the Palace of the King of People now, he would have to go there sooner or later. After all, it is impossible for Lu Heng to hold such an important treasure in his hands all the time, and sooner or later it will be returned to its original owner.
Shaking his head, Lu Heng said: "Forget it, let's go after Sun Yan first. When we find Sun Yan, we will go to the Palace of the King of People to meet the co-lord of the world."
Looking up at the night sky, Lu Heng sighed, "I just don't know how Sun Yan's monkey head is now..."
In Lu Heng's heart, he still misses this stinky monkey who is always lazy.
While Lu Heng was worried about Sun Yan, there was a small village in the wilderness that was less than three hundred miles away from the ice lake. A campfire was lit in the snow.
The cold snow foam fell silently in the village, making the snow on the ground and the eaves thicker and thicker. No matter how strong the campfire in the center of the village was, it could not dispel the cold in the village.
The emaciated youth wore thin single clothes and walked silently in this remote village. In the icy and snowy winter world, the thin clothes on the youth's body were extremely abrupt.
In the thatched huts on both sides, pairs of eyes looked at him in awe and fear, and no one dared to speak.
Because those villagers who dared to speak have been dragged out and slaughtered one after another in the past two days. The villagers who survived today, even the most ignorant children, knew that they should shut up.
And beside the boy, followed by a blood-red monster.
This monster is ten feet tall, with a red body, and a burly and sturdy stature. And there are no strands on the body, fine and disgusting small sarcomas have grown all over the body, and there are thick arms with muscular knots growing under the ribs. The red devil with a total of six hands is simply the evil ghost crawling out of the painting, which is extremely scary. .
Walking in the village, the body of the red devil is even taller than these houses.
In comparison, the already thin boy was made even thinner.
Soon, a demon and a demon came to the center of the village. Here, the campfire is burning, and there are four huge wooden sticks on the roaring campfire, and on each stick are linked end-to-end with three human children whose skins are tender.
The thick and long stick went straight through the mouths of these children and came out of the tail vertebra. Its abdominal cavity was hollowed out long ago, and the cleaned internal organs, as well as the blood that solidified after adding salt, are now cooked in a large pot.
The green devil, who is also ten feet tall, was sitting on the high platform built by the campfire, lazily flipping the four sticks that were leaning on the fire, and said, "Where did you go, red devil? Dinner is almost burnt."
Ning Po, who was sitting beside him, raised his head and glanced at the blood-covered Red Devil, as well as the injured boy beside the Red Devil who was obviously vain and injured, but did not speak.
But Xie Yunniang frowned and said, "Red Devil! You hurt the hostage?" Xie Yunniang descended directly from the high platform and landed next to the slender young man. She put her hand on the young man's shoulder and felt it a little, confirming that Sun Yan The injury was not serious, only abdominal bleeding, damaged internal organs, and several broken ribs, and there was no fear of life.
She breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the red demon beside her, and said coldly, "You promised not to attack this monkey, but you mistreat him privately? What do you mean by our agreement!"
