Yu Qingyao said in surprise: "It's so big!"
It was the first time she saw such a big fish with her own eyes, and she was shocked.
Master Chu also had a horrified look on his face, and he looked at Patriarch worriedly.
"Evil! Court death!"
The ancestor's scolding came from the river.
Following the scolding, a round of red sun suddenly rose on the river surface, reflecting the river surface red.
It was the ancestor who used his most proud magic weapon - the setting sun pearl.
The sunset pearl is a magic weapon of the fire element, usually in the shape of a big red pearl with a thumb. Once released, it is as big as a hill. Kill the enemy with super high temperature.
The big monster fish opened its big mouth to swallow the two patriarchs in one gulp, but it was not careful when the setting sun pearl fell down, and after it fell into the mouth, it was like swallowing a red-hot iron mountain.
The slender and streamlined fish body suddenly swelled into a balloon shape.
The big monster fish let out a terrifying neigh, and the smell of grilled fish wafted in the air.
The strange fish struggled in pain and jumped back into the water. However, at the same time, the Taoist priests on the bank flew up one after another, and they could clearly see the bottom of the river as if there was a sunset. The setting sun fluctuates east and west, up and down at the bottom of the water. After a cup of tea, the setting sun sinks to the bottom of the water and does not move.
Patriarch Chu smiled and waved.
A dazzling red bead flew out of the water and returned to his hand.
The other little monster fish in the river seemed to have sensed the crisis, and couldn't hide one after another.
The ancestor stood in the middle of the river, waved to the bank, and said calmly, "Cross the river!"
Elder Chu hurriedly directed the Taoists to cross the river.
Yu Qingyao looked at the sunset bead in Patriarch Chu's hand greedily, and asked Young Master Chu, "What kind of treasure is that patriarch?"
Young Master Chu said proudly: "That is the setting sun pearl, the ancestor used it to beat all the invincible hands in the Chu country."
The entourage understood and proudly popularized Yu Qingyao's record of the ancestor. A hundred years ago, the ancestor of Chu refined this bead, and then challenged the elders and heads of various factions in Chu State with it, killing all the factions to surrender.
Yu Qingyao was very fascinated when she heard it.
What she yearned for was sweeping the world with that bead by herself, but she just thought about it. She has no confidence in snatching the setting sun bead from the ancestor of the Chu family.
She comforted herself: I am the Holy Mother, and you can't do things like stealing people's treasures.
After crossing the river, Yu Qingyao asked curiously: "That big monster fish is so vicious, how did the fox monsters cross this river?"
She has seen Hu Maode, with a green waist and red sleeves, and she feels that none of these fox demons can escape from the mouth of the strange fish.
Mr. Chu said, "They have another secret way to cross the river."
Yu Qingyao wondered: "Then why don't we go over there?"
A entourage smiled and said: "Miss Yu, you don't know. The road the fox takes is too tortuous, we took a shortcut. The secret road is hundreds of miles away. It is the narrowest part of the river. The foxes are there. There is a rattan bridge on the cliff. You can quickly run across the river in the dark. Firstly, we have to take a shortcut, and secondly, there are too many people. It's better to go this way."
Yu Qingyao let out a cry. She understood that one or two foxes usually come out, they dare not kill monsters like the Taoist priests, they go straight all the way, naturally they have to avoid the territories of many monsters. In this case, you have to keep detours.
During the years of fighting against fox demons, the Taoist priests of the state of Chu had caught many foxes, and they had long ago asked about the location of Qingqiu, but they had never organized such a powerful team to wipe them out before.
There are too many monsters in the world, and foxes are not the only monsters that infiltrate the human world in the monster wilderness. Suppressing one species doesn't help.
If the Chu family hadn't been angered, they wouldn't have done such a thing.
After crossing the river and walking further, I feel relaxed again, and this place is quite close to Qingqiu. The stronger monsters were forced away by the foxes.
One day later, Taoist priests approached Qingqiu.
Standing on a small hill, looking at the green hill not far away, the Taoist priests were a little excited.
Going deep into the Demon Desolation for three thousand miles and capturing Qingqiu, this is an unprecedented feat of the human race. Once successful, these people will leave their names in history.
Patriarch Chu stared at Qingqiu with a complicated mood. In this war, the internal opinions of the Taiyi School were not unified. The head of the sect and many elders disagreed, because taking down Qingqiu would not benefit the Taiyi sect much. On the contrary, it is easy to be disgusted by many Taoist temples in Chu State.
Once it fails, it will bring a huge impact. If there were more Taoist priests who died, it would directly shake Taiyizong's popularity and status in Chu.
Ancestor Chu resisted all opinions and single-handedly organized and launched this war. Having come here after a lot of hard work, now that Qingqiu is right in front of him, he won't allow any more mistakes. Only by fighting a beautiful battle can the mouths of the people be silenced.
This battle is not easy. First of all, I don't know the strength of the Qingqiu fox demon. What if the fox demon's strength is stronger than the Taoist priests? Once a war breaks out, it will be a tragedy and a joke immediately.
Secondly, the topography of Qingqiu is not clear. With the cunning of a fox, it is impossible not to have secret passages. If not for a while, the foxes would all run away from the secret path, and this feat would become a joke.
In addition, there is another very important question. What would the nearby Yaozu think of the Taoist expedition to Qingqiu? If they were very angry about this and attacked together, how many Taoist priests could escape alive with the terrifying number of Yaohuang Yaozu
This point cannot but be guarded against. Therefore, this battle must be fought beautifully, the fox demon must be eliminated as much as possible, and at the same time, it must be as fast as possible, before the demon clan in Yaohuang reacts, finish the battle and withdraw safely to Chu country.
Patriarch Chu summoned all Taoist priests, assigned missions in person, and assigned people to scout Qingqiu.
In order not to scare the snake away, the Taoist priests are not allowed to go to Qingqiu by themselves. However, many Taoists have demon pets. Birds and animals, flowers, birds, fish and insects, everything.
The Taoists sent demon pets, disguised as demon clansmen, to Qingqiu for reconnaissance.
In Qingqiu, Hongxiu went on a hunger strike for three days, washing his face with tears all day long. She is suffering! If she had known that her beloved cousin would fall into this situation when she returned home, she would not have brought him back.
In order to come back, Lu Yao sacrificed himself to lure the Taoist away, but he hasn't come back now, I'm afraid there will be more or less bad luck. Cousin is like this, how can she be worthy of the green waist.
What made her even more regretful was that her cousin fell into this fate all because she talked too much and told her cousin's secret of changing menstruation.
Hongxiu blamed himself for this. She felt that she was sorry for her cousin and the green waist.
That night, the more Hongxiu thought about it, the more sad she felt, and felt that everything was her fault, and she wanted to die to atone for her sin.
She searched in the room and found a pair of scissors, which was used by her mother when she taught her female red. Hong Xiu held the scissors, as if piercing his own heart.
The maid who was guarding Hongxiu outside the door was frightened to death when she saw this, and rushed up to snatch the scissors.
Fortunately, Hongxiu's mana was banned, and his hands were weak, so the maid easily snatched the scissors. It's just that a cut was made on her chest.
Hu Shuwen rushed over after hearing the news, and was shocked, angry and heartbroken when he saw the blood stains on his daughter's chest.
