"Wait a minute." Wu Dongfang raised his hand to Qiyue, then turned to the snake spirit and said, "Do you know the origin of the Nine Nether Ghost King?"
"Never heard of it." Snake Spirit shook his head and said.
"The Ghost King is determined to cause trouble in the world. He even took away Xingtian's head earlier. I suspect..."
"I don't know, I don't know. It's getting late. You should go out quickly." The snake spirit waved his hand to chase people away.
"Okay, then I'm leaving." Wu Dongfang said, it was morning, why didn't he say it earlier.
His staying here was a nuisance. Both Qiyue and Snake Jing were eager for him to leave early, so Wu Dongfang turned around and returned, first to the Li Palace, then to the Xun Palace, and from the Xun Palace to the Kan Palace.
When I arrived at Dekan Palace, I realized that no one opened the door, so I had to turn around and walk through it, accidentally returning to Dui Palace.
The snake spirit had not gone far with Qi Qi when she noticed his aura and turned around suspiciously. Qi Qi also turned around and said, "Ah, why are you back again?"
"I seem to be lost." Wu Dongfang said. Last time they returned directly from the underworld. This time they had to go to the underworld first if they wanted to go back.
"Turn back twice from the exit." Snake Spirit warned.
According to the reminder from the snake spirit, Wu Dongfang entered and exited the entrance twice and returned to Kan Palace again.
Wu Dongfang sighed helplessly, and was about to turn around and continue wearing it, when he suddenly remembered that he carried the White Leopard Inner Elixir. With the White Leopard Inner Elixir, he might be able to use the wall-penetrating technique of the Tu people to pass through the gate of the Nine Palace Grid.
With this thought in mind, he found the inner elixir from the Qiankun bag and used the wall-penetrating technique to pass through the door.
"Finally out." Wu Dongfang took a long breath.
It was approaching noon at this time. Wu Dongfang raised his spirits and reached a mountain peak a hundred miles away in the north. He sat down on the top of the mountain.
He didn't know where the indigenous wizards lived, but the last time the indigenous wizards snooped near the entrance, it showed that they lived not far from here. He was too lazy to look around, so he just stayed calm and waited. Those indigenous wizards were not A savage who feeds on hair and drinks blood must cook, and as long as he cooks, there must be smoke.
Waiting until after one o'clock in the afternoon, there was no smoke around, and Wu Dongfang was not in a hurry. At this time, the people who ate three meals a day were the rich and nobles, while the common people only ate two meals a day, usually one at ninety o'clock in the morning. A meal at four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Dongfang found the target, but he did not find smoke. What he found was that a flying goose two hundred miles northwest suddenly fell quickly. It seemed that someone should have shot it down.
Wu Dongfang left the top of the mountain and Tu Dun came to the area where the wild geese fell. Tu Dun could move wherever he saw.
The archer was a young man in linen clothes, fifteen or sixteen years old. The young man was looking for fallen prey in the grass and did not notice Wu Dongfang appearing three miles away to his right.
The wild goose was about the same size as a goose, weighing seven or eight pounds. The boy was very happy after finding the wild goose, and grabbed the wild goose by its neck and flew westward.
The movement technique used by this young man is somewhat similar to the Qing Kung Fu used by the wizard. He can move more than ten meters at a time with the help of force.
Twenty miles westward, a large village appeared in the mountains. The village was located on the flat land on the east bank of the river beach. There were more than 40 houses, all built of stone. Most of the doors of these houses were closed. There were weeds growing in front and moss clinging to the walls, and it looked like no one was living there.
The inhabited houses are concentrated in front of the village. There are four in total, right next to each other. Animal skins and a small amount of bacon are hung on the walls. Several women in linen are busy in front of the houses. Each of them holds a A wooden stick is being pounded into a large stone mortar. Judging from the posture, it should be pounding rice.
Several elderly men were chopping firewood in the east of the village, and a young man in his twenties was washing and skinning a small mammal by the river. Because the skin had been peeled off, it was difficult to tell what it was.
A large pot, called a cauldron at this time, was located about ten meters in front of those houses, and a young woman holding a child was lighting a fire there.
Wu Dongfang counted carefully. Together with the boy who just returned and the child in the woman's arms, there were now twelve people in the village. There must be more than these people in the village, there must be at least fourteen, because they were killing the black-robed wizard before. At that time, there were five indigenous wizards watching from a distance, and later they had brief contact with them. At this time, three of the five people were in the village, and there was an old man and a middle-aged woman who did not show up.
Just as Wu Dongfang was estimating the number of people, a middle-aged woman walked out of one of the stone houses with an old man on her arm. The old man might be sick, bent over and coughing non-stop.
While they were busy, these people would occasionally chat, but they were all about trivial matters. Because there were so few people, the village seemed bleak.
After deliberation, Wu Dongfang walked from the dark path in the forest to the front of the village. There were probably very few outsiders coming here. His appearance immediately made these indigenous wizards become alert. They gathered together and watched with vigilance. Looking at him.
When he was still more than ten steps away from the crowd, Wu Dongfang stopped and looked calmly at the old man standing in front. This man had had a conversation with him that day and was undoubtedly the leader of these indigenous wizards.
"The holy wizard of the Jin tribe welcomes you to our village as a guest." The old leader spoke first.
"Excuse me." Wu Dongfang said with a smile. The reason why he did not show his emotions before was because the other party's attitude was unclear. He did not intend to give up the use of force, but since the other party was the first to express friendship, he naturally would not respond with a bad face.
"Go and make tea for the distinguished guest." The old leader pressed down the young man's arrow on the string.
"No need to bother, I would like to ask everyone, are you descendants of the Yellow Emperor?" Wu Dongfang asked.
The old leader didn't know why he asked this question. He thought for a while and shook his head and said, "No, our ancestors were Huangdi's subjects, and we are just Huangdi's subjects."
"Well," Wu Dongfang nodded, "The current Xia Emperor is a direct descendant of the Yellow Emperor. With Emperor Xia's trust, I have accepted the position of the Holy Wizard of the Five Tribes. Previously, I killed countless wizards from the Five Tribes by killing evil and upholding justice. The Ghost King of the Underworld deliberately took advantage of this. You are the people of the Yellow Emperor who are accustomed to witchcraft. At this time, it is the time for people to be employed in the court. Emperor Xia has an order: the wizard guarding the mausoleum will leave his post and move out to help me drive away demons and exorcise evil spirits."
After Wu Dongfang finished speaking, the expression of the indigenous wizard changed drastically.
After a brief but urgent thought, the old leader took three steps forward, raised his hands and said, "Can the holy witches of the Jin clan carry the tokens of the holy witches of the five clans?"
Wu Dongfang stretched his left hand forward, and the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth spheres flew rapidly from everywhere, spinning rapidly in the air above his palm, "Since you consider yourself to be a subject of the Yellow Emperor, you should obey the Emperor Xia's instructions, pack your bags immediately, and follow me. Go out of the mountain to defend yourself against the enemy."
"I wonder if the holy witches of the five tribes can carry Emperor Xia's tokens?" the old leader asked.
Wu Dongfang frowned and looked sideways. The old guy undoubtedly wanted to delay time by asking this question. If he said no, the other party would definitely ask him to go out and get Xia Emperor's token. If he steps forward, these guys will run away.
But this was exactly the result he wanted, because Si Shaokang didn't ask him to do this at all, and he didn't want to drag these old, weak, sick and disabled people out to fight, and these old, weak, sick and disabled people certainly didn't want to If you go out to fight, since you don’t want to go out to fight, you have to come up with something to compensate. To put it bluntly, although I want a house, I want a house. You behave better and take the initiative to deliver the house. , you feel you have taken advantage, and I have achieved my goal.
"Do you want to resist the decree?" Wu Dongfang held the Five Elements Ball in his palm.
"Calm down the anger of the five holy witches. As long as we see Emperor Xia's token, we will definitely comply with Emperor Xia's will and go out to fight with you." The old leader said harmoniously. He had previously watched Wu Dongfang and the other three holy witches from a distance. The black-robed wizards fight, knowing that they are ruthless characters who kill without blinking an eye.
"Okay, since you insist on seeing Emperor Xia's token, I will go back and get it, but before I come back, I can only force you to stay here for a few days." Wu Dongfang looked around, pretending to observe the environment, and forming a formation to trap people.
The indigenous wizards who were not watching from a distance that day did not know how powerful Wu Dongfang was. Seeing his tough attitude, they wanted to take action. The few indigenous wizards who had watched the bloody battle hurriedly stopped them with their eyes, signaling them not to act rashly.
"As long as you let my family go, I'm willing to go out and fight for you." The young man in his early twenties stepped out.
"I'm willing too." The hunting boy also stood up.
Wu Dongfang withdrew his gaze and tilted his head to look at the two of them.
"They are too old to fight. If they go out, they will never come back. Please let them stay here." The young man begged.
Wu Dongfang lowered his eyebrows and said nothing. He was very moved by the two men's bravery, but this matter had nothing to do with him. If he couldn't get their Qi training method, everyone in the world would be unlucky, and he would also be the unlucky one. I don't know if the other party will give me the Qi training method if I ask for it openly, so I can only keep on pretending.
"You don't know how dangerous the situation outside is. Many people died in the previous battle, and now there are less than a hundred wizards from the five tribes combined. In order to prevent the ghost king from causing trouble in the world, the Holy Wizard of the Tu tribe sacrificed his life to buy us a little preparation time. , I don’t want you to go to war, but there is a serious shortage of wizards at this time, and we really have no choice." Wu Dongfang told the truth.
Seeing Wu Dongfang's relaxed tone, the old leader seized the opportunity to invite him into the room to talk. Wu Dongfang did not refuse and walked into the room to chat with several elders.
Apart from the true motive for his arrival, Wu Dongfang did not hide anything else. Once he confessed his true feelings, the native wizard quickly understood how dangerous the situation outside was, and he also sympathized with his difficulties and understood his approach.
The indigenous wizards still retained their traditional eating habits. They did not distinguish between vegetables and rice. They stewed rice and broth in one pot. Wu Dongfang brought good wine and drank with everyone on the floor. While eating, he naturally talked about some situations outside. It can be seen that the young people are yearning for the wonderful world outside, and they often interrupt to ask for details.
Wu Dongfang intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to magic. The young man curiously asked what the magic of the five tribes was about. Wu Dongfang generously taught him the object-controlling skills of the Jin tribe. The young man tried to move the copper spoon, and the copper spoon could Trembling slightly, Wu Dongfang tested the boy's bloodline and found that his bloodline was not pure, and the five elements of blood were not completely balanced. The five elements in his body were relatively fire.
Feeling something in his heart, he asked him to try to control the flame. Under his guidance, the young man was able to make the flame of the oil lamp shift significantly.
Wu Dongfang knew well that although the indigenous wizards' qi training method could use the five races' spells, they had some emphasis and could not practice all the five races' spells to the extreme like him.
This situation is very similar to the qi training methods of later generations. Without the support of blood, it is very difficult to reach the peak, but it should not be a big problem if you practice to the level of a heavenly master.
After dinner, everyone vacated a room to live with Wu Dongfang, while others gathered together to discuss matters in low voices.
In the early morning of the next day, the old leader came early and said, "We have discussed the holy witches of the five tribes and are willing to come out of the mountain according to the order..."
