It was almost ten minutes in the evening, and April had just entered the green soil of Tucheng, and all kinds of herbs were already in full bloom. A breeze blows, and various flowers on the stepped mountain peaks are swaying in layers, which is very beautiful against the blue soil and red brick houses.
The red-eared demon trotted along the stairs to the lowest level of the city. There seemed to be something hidden in the soil not far behind him. As he moved forward, the soil loosened, leaving a long ridge. All this happened so silently that the red-eared demon was not aware of it at all.
The convoy from Chi Lemir, the Fire City, stopped outside the courtyard of a farmer growing herbs in the lower city. There were three vehicles in the convoy, each pulled by four sand camel beasts.
The leader of the team, Huang Scorpion, was sitting on a wooden chair in the yard drinking tea. He was short in stature and had a hideous face. He was wearing brown clothes and trousers, and a long braid had a red hook at the end. At this moment, he looked very leisurely while sipping the tea brewed from the herb flowers. He could not tell at all that not long ago, he was robbed of the sand camel beast by a wanted criminal in the city when he was leading the convoy back to the Fire City, and almost almost got it. So he lost his life.
Seeing the red-eared demon spirit walking in in a panic, he asked with a cold smile on his face: "Your Majesty, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
"Why are you sitting here so arrogantly?!" The red-eared demon raised his head and glanced at him, then scolded him.
"Hey, what's the big deal?! It's not the same for everyone who died a short time ago! Could it be that Lord Wang Jue is still reluctant to part with your title?" Huang Scorpion asked as he put down the teacup and picked up the teapot. Pour a glass for the red-eared demon spirit as well.
"I..." The red-eared demon spirit was speechless by his question, and was speechless for a moment.
"Shuicheng has also been lost!" Huang Xiezi pushed the tea cup in front of the red-eared demon and said calmly.
"What?!" The red-eared demon spirit turned pale when he heard this.
"This is why Master Qingyun urgently summoned you back to Qingyang! Tucheng is about to enter a state of alert. The time has come to close the seven-tone gate. It's time for you to come out!" Huang Xiezi deliberately lowered his voice.
"I didn't expect that this day would come!" the red-eared demon spirit sighed, with a helpless look on his face.
"There is no room for error this time! Otherwise, your precious son will... not be saved!"
Huang Scorpion took another sip of tea, then put the cup down on the wooden table and walked into the room behind him, leaving only the bewildered red-eared demon spirit.
There was a faint sound on the ground nearby. He turned around to look, but found nothing. He thought maybe he had been nervous recently, so he was too suspicious. He smiled bitterly and walked out of the hospital.
A little mole slithered back into a yard on the third floor of Qingyang, Tucheng. It broke out of the ground and bumped into a big white dog lying in the yard.
"Ouch!" the big white dog barked.
"Second brother!" Mole said pitifully, rolling his round eyes.
"It's Xiaoqi who's back! Did you gain anything?" the big white dog arched it and asked.
The one called Xiao Qi is the mole demon who ranks last in Ouyang Hongye's seven-person intelligence team. She is shy and maintains the posture of a mole most of the time. She rarely transforms into a human form. What he is good at is hiding behind the scenes, tracking and gathering information without revealing anything.
The big white dog she was talking to was the second dog demon in the team. He didn't like being called the second dog, so everyone in the team respected him as the dog god. He has a pair of ears, is good at eavesdropping, and has excellent endurance when tracking enemies. In the team, Xiao Qi and he have the closest relationship, they are like brothers and sisters.
"As expected, the red-eared demon spirit met with Huang Scorpion. I heard them say that Tucheng was going to be on alert. And they also mentioned the Seven-tone Gate. I was very concerned about it and said it was time to close it!" The little mole said in Dabai The dog rubbed himself and replied.
"Let's quickly discuss the countermeasures with Big Brother!" The big white dog took the little mole and walked towards the house.
As soon as you enter the room, there are shelves used for storing medicine, with a set of tables and chairs in the middle. There were two men sitting around the table, one was a young man with brown hair and a yellow robe, and the other was in red clothes. His body shape was very similar to that of Huang Scorpion, except that there was a big scar running down the eye on the left side of his face. The scar spans almost half of my face, so even if I wear an eye patch, it can't be completely covered.
"Brother!" The big white dog and the little mole said in unison to the young man in yellow robe.
This young man in yellow robe is the boss of Ouyang Hongye's seven-person intelligence team, civet cat demon Chang Feng. Having lived for five hundred years, he is not only extraordinary in skill, but also has light and elegant movements. He is good at tracking targets at high altitudes and is not easily detected. His human form is that of a handsome young man, not too tall, with a pair of particularly bright starry eyes on his rectangular face.
The one sitting next to him who looks very similar to Huang Xiezi is called Cang Xiezi. He is the fourth in the group of seven and is the younger brother of Huang Xiezi. The story of the two brothers is a long one.
The scorpion demon clan loves fighting the most. Every year, the clan organizes an arena competition for the adult scorpion demons. The final winner will not only gain prestige in the clan, but also receive a considerable reward. Because this game allows for the killing of opponents, the arena is extremely bloody.
That was three hundred years ago, and the annual competition of the scorpion demon clan had begun again. Huang Xiezi, who had just grown up, wanted to participate in this competition in order to get ahead. No matter how much his younger brother Cang Xiezi persuaded him, he could not change his mind.
As the younger brother, Cang Xiezi was worried that his brother would eventually encounter a powerful enemy and die, so he decided to join the ring so that he could take care of his brother. The brothers fought their way through the competition, but finally met in the finals.
Cang Xiezi originally wanted to lose to his brother, so he deliberately let himself go. But what he never expected was that his brother would be vicious and merciless in the finals.
Cang Xiezi didn't understand why her brother suddenly changed. After a moment's hesitation, she saw her brother swinging his scorpion tail, and then used the scorpion tail hook behind his braid to leave a deep scar on his brother's face. The younger brother was shocked at first, then heartbroken. He wanted to die in his brother's hands, but he was scarred and the fighting gene in his blood was ignited in a state of confusion.
He used the flying scorpion pincers to capture his brother. After countless attacks, he still woke up at the last moment and was unable to kill his brother.
Huang Xingzi only left one sentence: "The brotherhood ended long ago when we both entered the finals at the same time."
Then he left his hometown and was never heard from again. Unexpectedly, he turned to Salamander, the Lord of Fire City, and became his captain of the bodyguard. Now he is the leader of the convoy that delivers elixirs to Qingyun.
After hearing Mole Xiaoqi say that Qingyun ordered the red-eared demon spirit to start taking action and close the seven-tone gate, Changfeng felt that the matter was of great importance and must be reported to Ouyang Hongye immediately, so he whistled outside the house.
A flower dove flew in with flapping wings, making a "coo" sound from its belly.
"Sixth, send the information back to the royal city quickly! Let Master Hongye be prepared!" Chang Feng ordered.
"Yes, brother!" the pigeon replied and flew out.
He ranks sixth in the intelligence team. Because he is a pigeon, he has excellent flying ability. He is mainly responsible for exploring paths and delivering intelligence.
"Lao Qi, you and Lao Wu continue to keep an eye on the red-eared demon spirit and try to figure out what the Seven Sound Gate is. Lao Qi, you go and monitor the movements of Huang Scorpion."
Chang Feng was making arrangements, but Big White Dog interrupted him: "What about me?"
"You, Honglian and I will continue to stay here. Now the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. It is a good time for us, so it is better not to send out the whole team, so as not to alert the enemy!" Chang Feng refuted him with one sentence.
"It's annoying to have me stay with you and your wife again!" The big white dog complained, then lay helplessly on the ground with its tail hanging down.
Honglian is the third ghost girl in red in the group of seven. She is very beautiful and she is a lover with Chang Feng.
It is said that when Honglian was alive, she was a young lady from a wealthy family. On her way to marry in a foreign land, she met a group of thieves. After being defiled, she killed her and abandoned her body in the wilderness. Full of resentment, she turned into a fierce ghost and specialized in killing thieves.
Until a hundred years ago, when she committed another murder, she was stopped by Chang Feng, but she never expected that a demon would actually help humans. It turned out that Chang Feng had met these thieves before and knew that although they made a living by stealing, they always robbed the rich and gave to the poor, and never harmed anyone's life.
Chang Feng and Hong Lian had never known each other before, and he found that although she had killed countless people, he still saw a trace of humanity left through her bloodthirsty eyes. After hearing her life story, he felt pity for her. He fell deeply in love with this beautiful female ghost and took her back to the demon world.
In Chang Feng's tenderness, the hatred in Hong Lian's heart gradually dissipated, and she no longer took pleasure in killing. She and Chang Feng were first recruited into the intelligence team by Ouyang Hongye. Although she is a woman, her fighting ability is the strongest among the seven.
Working with the seventh mole demon is the fifth-ranked shadow demon. His body is the shadow of a child. He accidentally gained demon power, so he left the child and came to the demon world. What he is best at is overlapping the shadow of the person being followed, following him like a shadow to gather information. Because Ouyang Hongye cares about Guiyin very much, the shadow demon has been following Kui, the son of the red-eared demon spirit, these days.
During these days, the fifth shadow demon lurked beside Kui and discovered many unusual things about Guiyin. Every ten days and a half, at night, Kui, who was always in a drowsy state, would suddenly wake up and sit up in bed.
Every time at this time, his face would always show an expression of extreme pain, and he would always moan. This state would last for about an hour, and then he would fall down and fall asleep again. And early the next morning, you will find that the black circular mark on his back has become larger, and his body will become weaker. This should be the legendary essence being sucked away, but it looks like Where is the missing pipe? But it made the shadow demon puzzled.
