"Do you want me to go with you?" Qi Qiyue ran out of the next room shirtless.
"No, I will be back before dawn." Wu Dongfang circulated his spiritual energy and swept towards the northwest.
Xingtian's head is buried in Changyang Mountain. The head breathes once every sixty years. According to previous calculations, today's midnight is the time for Xingtian to breathe. However, the previous sounds and vibrations were definitely not caused by breathing. On the contrary, It was like something had a violent explosion.
Previously, he and the prince had planned to snatch Xingtian's head and use Xingtian to fight against the Tu people, but now that the country has been peacefully liberated, this idea has been shelved. What he is worried about now is that Xing Tian's head will be taken away by enemy agents with evil intentions, and they will in turn deal with Xia Chao. You must know that Xing Tian was killed by Huang Di. As long as he is revived, Xing Tian will take the initiative without instigation or deception. Attack the descendants of Huangdi.
After plundering three hundred miles, Wu Dongfang found a city in the distance. He had stopped near Changyang Mountain before and was familiar with the surrounding environment. The city in the distance was exactly three hundred miles southeast of Changyang Mountain. city.
At this time, there were many lights from torches in the city, and noisy voices could be heard from a closer distance.
Arriving at the sky above the city, Wu Dongfang lowered his head and looked down. He saw many people carrying lanterns and torches running quickly on the streets of the city. He couldn't hear clearly what they were saying. Maybe it was because of the loud noises and vibrations that had caused them earlier. Very uneasy.
When he was still fifty miles away from Changyang Mountain, Wu Dongfang discovered an anomaly. A large deep pit appeared on the mountainside of Changyang Mountain. The pit was irregularly round and the size of two football fields. It was to the south of the pit. There were two black figures on the side edges. If you look closely, you will see that they are two Tu wizards wearing robes.
Wu Dongfang quickly flew over, gathered his spiritual energy and landed next to the two of them.
The two Tu wizards were both young. When they saw him coming, they stared at him suspiciously and warily, "Who is coming?"
"Wu Dongfang." Wu Dongfang lowered his head and looked down at the pit. He saw that the pit was more than 20 meters deep. The bottom was slightly narrower than the upper part. The four walls of the pit were covered with gray-white rocks.
When Wu Dongfang lowered his head to observe the situation, the two Tu wizards reacted, knelt down on one knee and said, "Meet the Holy Wizard."
"Excuse me, do you know what happened here?" Wu Dongfang asked casually. This deep pit is undoubtedly the tomb where Xingtian's head was previously buried. Now the tomb has been damaged and Xingtian's head has disappeared.
One of the short wizards replied, "Returning to the Holy Wizard's question, at three o'clock we heard a loud noise from the mountain, and immediately rushed over to check what happened. When we arrived at Xingtian's tomb, it was already cracked, and there was no suspicious thing around. No one has seen Xingtian’s head.”
Wu Dongfang nodded and did not ask any more questions. It was not a secret that Xing Tian's head was buried here. The wizards stationed in the surrounding cities naturally knew it.
Naturally, Xingtian's head would not come out on its own. Someone must have destroyed the tomb and taken it away. According to the traces on the scene, the tomb was destroyed from within. The huge impact directly knocked away the soil around the tomb, and in a short time The tomb will be completely destroyed within a short period of time.
It is worth noting that although this force destroyed the tomb made of soil, it did not affect the surrounding mountains. It did not even damage the trees on the edge of the pit. It destroyed the tomb in a very targeted manner.
As far as he knew, no wizard in the world had such a powerful spiritual energy. Even if the five holy wizards joined forces, they would not be able to destroy this tomb in one fell swoop, and their control of power would not be so precise.
"Holy Witch, we suspect that this matter is related to the underworld." Another Tu wizard said cautiously.
"Oh?" Wu Dongfang tilted his head. In fact, he also had this suspicion, but he didn't understand why the wizard also had this suspicion.
"On the way here, I found that all the chickens and dogs in the city died suddenly, and the sacrifices put out by the people were all rotten." The wizard pointed to the southeast, indicating which city he came from, and it was also the city where the abnormality occurred.
"Is this the same situation in your city?" Wu Dongfang looked at the wizard who spoke first.
"After the incident, I was in a hurry to find out what happened, but I didn't pay attention." The wizard shook his head and said.
"You go back, appease the people in the city, and declare to the outside world that I did this." Wu Dongfang said to the two of them. Xing Tian's head has been taken away. If this matter spreads, it will cause instability among the people. It is best to Hiding the truth from the people, he actually wanted to tell the truth to the people, but not every person has the ability to correctly analyze problems and good psychological quality.
The two agreed in unison, and the wizard stationed in the city in the southeast asked, "Holy wizard, do you want to go to the city to see those violently killed chickens and dogs and the rotten sacrifices?"
"No, you can go back." Wu Dongfang waved his hand. Chickens and dogs are all masculine animals, so chicken blood and dog blood can be used to deal with and suppress the ghosts. However, if the ghosts are too powerful, the masculine animals will be the first to suffer. and. In addition, the rapid decay of the sacrifices also shows that a very powerful Yin Qi appeared in this area before. Combined with the huge force that destroyed the tomb, the problem is very clear. Even if the person who took away Xingtian's head was not the Jiuyou Ghost King himself, it was his powerful subordinate. .
The two Tu wizards accepted the invitation and went to the north and south respectively. Wu Dongfang performed a red fire dance, controlled the fire and rose into the sky, and circled around the three surrounding cities. This was to let the people know that he had been here before, and to cooperate with it. The two Tu wizards concealed the truth of the matter.
On the way back, Wu Dongfang was in a very heavy mood. Jiuyou Ghost King had the intention to harm the world, and Xingtian had a grudge against Huangdi. Although the two had different motives, they did the same thing, which would be detrimental to the Xia Dynasty, so Jiuyou Ghost King had enough Reason to help Xing Tian.
It is almost certain that the Ghost King will join forces with Xing Tian to attack the Xia Dynasty. What he is currently unable to determine is the relationship between the Ghost King and Xing Tian, whether the two have known each other before, and who the Ghost King is and why he wants to harm the world. Does he also have a grudge against Huangdi
Naturally, he couldn't think of answers to these questions. He was a foreigner and didn't fully understand the current affairs, let alone the old events hundreds of years ago. After the matter was settled, he would go back and ask the prince. Even if the prince couldn't give The answer should also provide some useful clues.
It was already early in the morning when they returned to their residence. Yunfang, his wife and Qiyue were both awake and had been waiting for him to come back. Wu Dongfang made a few casual remarks and the four of them went back to their rooms.
Wu Dongfang was worried and couldn't sleep. He lay on the kang and closed his eyes to think. The person who took away Xingtian's head undoubtedly came from the underworld, and was probably the Jiuyou Ghost King himself. This guy chose to appear on July 15th, which shows that it can't come out on ordinary days. Come. The fact that it did no other bad things after taking away Xingtian's head shows that it is not ready to go on a killing spree.
However, the Jiuyou Ghost King should have known that taking away Xingtian's head would alert the wizards of the five races, but it still did it. This shows that it is confident and thinks that even if its intention is noticed by the wizards of the five races, the wizards of the five races cannot stop it.
There are two situations of feeling confident. One is when one's own strength increases, "I am very powerful, and I am so powerful that you cannot stop me." 'There is another situation where the opponent's strength is weakened, 'Although I am not strong, you are weaker. '
The latter possibility is more likely. At present, there are not many wizards left in the five tribes, and the number of powerful heavenly masters is even smaller. The weakening of one's own strength is the fundamental reason why the Nine Nether Ghost King does not pay attention to everyone.
The more Wu Dongfang thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The mirage greatly damaged the vitality of the wizards of the five tribes. The Nine Nether Ghost King jumped out immediately. The mirage was responsible for killing the wizard. The Nine Nether Ghost King came out of the underworld with his Yin soldiers. There is no wizard to stop them and restrain them. Did these two guys have discussed this before
If they are really a gang committing crimes, there must be other members of the gang. Xing Tian is a foolhardy man, at most a gang member, and the leader of the gang is unlikely to be the Jiuyou Ghost King, because no matter how awesome this guy is It is also a ghost, and cannot see the light. It can’t live in the world even if it conquers the world. It has to live in the underworld. Without any benefit at all, what is the point of working around
The only reasonable explanation is that Jiuyou Ghost King is also a member of a gang, and there is a boss above him.
Even Jiuyou Ghost King is a pawn, and the boss is even more amazing. Thinking of this, Wu Dongfang couldn't sit still, stood up, Shi Chutu escaped back to Jinsheng Tianshi Mansion, quickly came to the east courtyard, and entered The prince's room.
"Scared me." The prince tilted his head and glanced at Wu Dongfang, then continued to sleep with his eyes closed.
Rice Tong had woken up long ago and was chewing on the piece of metal under the bed. When he saw Wu Dongfang, he jumped over happily. Rice Tong weighed almost two hundred pounds now and could reach Wu Dongfang's nose when he stood up.
"Get up, let me tell you something." Wu Dongfang sat on the edge of the bed.
"Yes." The prince responded.
"Get up." Wu Dongfang said.
"That's all you say, I'm listening." The prince said impatiently. This guy also had a serious problem getting out of bed.
Wu Dongfang told in detail what happened before, along with his judgment.
"Are you listening?" Wu Dongfang grabbed the prince's tail and dragged him over.
"Listen, listen, Xingtian's head was snatched away by the Ghost King." The prince still didn't open his eyes.
"Forget it, you go to sleep. I'm going to Kunlun Mountain. By the way, you can check it out for me when you have time to find out who the Nine Nether Ghost King is and the origin of the mirage. Also, the ghost king, Mirage Dragon Xingtian, Who do the three of them have in common?" Wu Dongfang said.
"Yeah." The prince responded vaguely.
Wu Dongfang stood up and went out. Before going out, he made a gesture to Fan Tong who was following him to see him off. Fan Tong understood and jumped onto the bed to pick up the prince.
"I'm annoying you to death." The prince shouted angrily.
Wu Dongfang Tudun disappeared. When he returned to the house, Qiyue was knocking on the door outside.
Wu Dongfang opened the door and went out. Qi Qiyue peeked in, "Is there anyone hiding in the room?"
"Where is there?" Wu Dongfang yawned and turned back to his room.
"It's dawn, it's time to hit the road." Qi Qi followed in.
Wu Dongfang was a little sleepy after not sleeping last night, but he didn't dare to waste time. At present, there was a serious shortage of wizards from the five races. It was definitely too late to encourage children. The only way was to let ordinary people learn magic. He had to rush to Kunlun Mountain. , those local wizards don’t seem to have very powerful spells, and there aren’t many of them. If someone kills them, it will be all over.
After a simple breakfast, Wu Dongfang said goodbye to Yunfang, and hurriedly set off on the road with Qiyue in his arms...
