There were mist in the sky, the waning moon was still hanging in the sky, and a high-pitched cock crow sounded in the village.
Then the sound of roosters crows from all directions one after another, and the sound of old people coughing, children crying, and the footsteps of foreign guests gradually echo in this giant Miao stronghold lying on the Miao land.
"this way please……"
Two sword guards from Ten Thousand Poison Cave led the way, and behind them was a tall, white-haired young man wearing an evil ghost mask.
The rather ferocious evil ghost mask hid the appearance of the white-haired young man. Only the blue feather earrings in his ears could tell that he was a Miao youth with quite a personality.
Behind this young man, a pretty-looking girl in purple clothes with dappled eyebrows approached the young man in red clothes next to her.
"Brother, can you find the golden cicada Gu here... This white-haired man doesn't look easy to get along with..."
The young man's face was a little gloomy, and his expression remained in a trance. It wasn't until the girl pinched his waist that he suddenly woke up.
"Ah... of course there is no problem with this, right brother Youchuan? Does that Witch King have the golden cicada Gu?"
This group of people is naturally Li Xingyun and his party who met Chi Meng outside the day before yesterday. The tall, thin, feminine man and the short, fat and honest middle-aged man behind him are Shangguan Yunque of Tianqiaoxing and Duan Chengtian of Tiansuxing.
You Chuan, who was wearing a devil mask in front of him, turned his head and looked at Li Xingyun with a pair of deep and bright eyes hidden behind the mask.
"I don't know... the Golden Cicada Gu is the holy insect of the Miao border refined by the King of Snakes. But now that the King of Snakes is seriously ill, he has already gone into seclusion for cultivation. I am not sure whether the Witch King is there. Please forgive me..."
Seeing the junior sister next to him lowering his head in disappointment, Li Xingyun laughed and patted her on the head with a familiar look on his face.
"As long as the Witch King is here, doesn't he know the whereabouts of this golden cicada Gu...Brother Youchuan, thank you very much."
You Chuan nodded politely and stretched out his hand forward: "It's just ahead. The Witch King has been waiting for you for a long time. Your Highness can go straight in."
Li Xingyun and a few others, who were making his junior sister happy, raised their heads and saw a simple and heavy stone palace in front of them. Stone pillars with complex patterns carved on their roots were lined up on both sides from the door of the palace. On the top of the pillars was a burning lighting fire. .
The guard with a sword at the front who led the way stepped forward and pushed open the stone palace door, and then stood respectfully on both sides.
Looking from here, one can only feel the darkness and silence inside. The engulfing darkness is like an abyss, deeply attracting everyone outside the hall.
Li Xingyun was stunned and looked at the two bodyguards behind him who were closely matched by Yuan Tiangang.
Duan Chengtian, who looked calm and honest, frowned, but just nodded to Li Xingyun.
Li Xingyun coughed and walked in front of everyone, protecting Lu Linxuan behind him.
"Then Brother Youchuan, let's go in first..."
You Chuan nodded, crossed his chest with one hand and bowed to Li Xingyun.
Watching a group of four people slowly enter the palace one after another, You Chuan straightened up, took off the evil ghost mask on his face, and looked thoughtfully at the slowly closing palace door, with a thoughtful look on his face.
At this time, there was the sound of flapping wings behind him. You Chuan turned around and saw a gray-black peregrine falcon landing on his shoulder.
Glancing at the two guards guarding the palace gate, You Chuan took out a handful of insects from the pouch at his waist and handed them to Peregrine Falcon's mouth.
Youchuan walked to the side, listening to the strange sound of the peregrine falcon on his shoulder. In the end, with a sad look on his face, he looked far away to the north.
"You must never come back again..."
…
Two Miao men with embroidered patterns on their hat brims were thrown into the dense weeds. Their heads waved on the ground, and finally they collapsed to the side.
Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief, stood up wearing a Miao costume, and threw the Miao saber on the ground into the grass.
"It's ready..."
The empress wore her own brocade gown underneath and the Miao clothing that Li Jing took off together, and frowned.
"I've searched most of the village and haven't found anything out of the ordinary. Is King Jiao still still in Ten Thousand Poison Cave?"
The stubble on Li Jing's chin had been shaved off, but he still touched it out of habit. Then he carried the sword box made by the Corpse Ancestor on his back and looked at Chi Meng, who was also thinking about it.
"Have you ever been to a cell made of a particularly large ancient tree in Ten Thousand Poison Cave before?"
Chi Meng put her finger on her chin and looked at Li Jing blankly.
"I have no impression..."
Li Jing frowned. Their current location is on the left side of the giant village formed by countless small villages in Wandu Cave. The terrain is higher. Standing here, you can see several curls of smoke rising in the distance. .
"You said you could contact You Chuan... how did you contact him?"
His eyes lingered on both Li Jing and the Empress, and Chi Meng reluctantly took off the jade flute from his waist.
"When this traitor and I used to play together, we practiced a set of flute sounds that only the two of us knew. As long as I play the flute sound, he will be able to know it within the scope of Ten Thousand Poison Cave..."
Li Jing's face suddenly dawned, and then she frowned and said, "Is this sound too loud?"
Chi Meng pouted and raised his chin: "Otherwise, how come we are the only two who know about it? The sound of this flute can float far, far away, don't worry!"
Li Jing nodded, glanced at the wooden flute that had been hanging on the empress's waist, and unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth. He jumped onto the tall ancient tree in twos and twos, and immediately had a clear view of the surrounding scenery.
"Then I'll look out for you, as long as Youchuan knows we're looking for him..."
Chi Meng nodded heavily, took two steps forward, stood on the edge of a slightly higher cliff, and placed the jade flute across his mouth.
Li Jing sat on the top of the tree canopy, looking at the figure below with long purple hair. Her narrow shoulders seemed to be under great pressure, but she was able to look happy every day... …
This time, King Jiao and Xian Ginseng must not die...
The empress moved her gaze away from Li Jing's side face and looked at the purple-clothed figure in front of her, her eyes narrowed slightly.
Chi Meng closed his eyes and exhaled softly.
The melodious and cheerful flute sounded softly, and kept floating, floating towards Li Jing and the empress, and towards the giant village of Ten Thousand Poison Cave with countless bamboo buildings below.
She must have had a happy childhood with You Chuan when she was a child...
Li Jing stood up, her dark and bright eyes slowly looking into the distance.
The flute sound was not long, but within half a quarter of an hour, Chi Meng had hung the jade flute back on his waist.
"I'm done bragging! I just don't know if the traitor will come!"
Li Jing did not answer, but stood quietly on the tree crown, looking at a black spot on the distant horizon gradually approaching from far away.
A gray peregrine falcon.
Li Jing smiled softly and looked down at Chi Meng, who was looking at him nervously.
"He will definitely come...I believe in my vision."
Chi Meng nodded blankly, walked to the empress' side and squatted down.
"Little sister, I think Xiao Guo Guo is so awesome..."
The empress was silent, her fingers gently stroking the wooden flute at her waist.
The gray peregrine falcon flapped its wings and stopped at the edge of the branch Li Jing stepped on. Its bright-eyed head tilted and looked at Li Jing curiously.
Li Jing chuckled, sat down slowly, and looked at Youchuan's pet in the anime.
The Peregrine Falcon tilted its head again, and then saw Chi Meng at the foot of the tree, and instantly made a slightly sharp sound.
At this time, a flash of white flashed quickly in the forest, rushing towards the three of them.
Before anyone arrived, anxious and restless voices had already sounded.
"What are you doing back again!"
