Mu Ziyun grabbed the gatekeeper's collar and cursed angrily: "You bastard, what kind of evil thing is that scroll? I can't even move in it!"
The gatekeeper couldn't speak and could only express himself through the scroll, but of course Kite couldn't give the scroll to him again. The gatekeeper kept his hands clasped above his head as if to beg. Huzi grabbed Mu Ziyun by the back of his collar and lifted him away, saying, "It is also his duty to catch you. It was our fault for breaking in in the first place." Then, Huzi Taking back the ability of the heavy domain allows the gatekeeper to move freely.
The gatekeeper sat cross-legged on the ground and pointed at the scroll in Kite's hand. Kite looked at everyone and hesitated. Mu Ziyun said: "It's okay." Then he took the scroll and threw it into the gatekeeper's hand, and threatened: "If you dare to be dishonest, I will kill you!"
The gatekeeper put down the scroll many times, only to see the words written on it: "I was wrong", "but", "this is the good old man's", and "order".
"Good old man? Are you referring to Zhai Qiuzi?" Lingdang asked.
The gatekeeper nodded, and Kite asked with concern: "Why are you here? Is it because you made a mistake?"
The scroll also said: "Good old man", "Help me", "Protect me".
"What you say can make someone anxious!" Mu Ziyun said angrily, "Can you speak faster?"
At this time, Zhai Qiuzi's voice sounded from around everyone. Unconsciously, he came behind Mu Ziyun early. Zhai Qiuzi said calmly: "Let me explain."
Mu Ziyun was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. The others were also in shock. Mu Ziyun turned around and cursed: "You damn old man, can you stop being so scary? By the way, when did you come?"
"Hey," Zhai Qiuzi said happily, "It's obviously you who broke into the forbidden area without permission. Only the great monarch can enter this place for tens of thousands of years. You have made exceptions many times. I have to choose a great monarch from among you."
"Who just came in?" Mu Ziyun said forcefully, "I came here to see if there was any compensation for my treasure. Alas, there are no good things. I won't come here again."
Zhai Qiuzi didn't reply. He looked at the masked gatekeeper. After a moment of silence, he said, "His name is Xiaoli. He was the only time I met him when I went out after becoming the great monarch..."
"Eh? Can't the great monarch not go too far out of the city?" Du Xiaoyue asked.
"Yes, so that time, it almost caused a disaster..." Zhai Qiuzi continued to explain.
From Zhai Qiuzi's words, everyone understood the origin of this gatekeeper. Ten years ago, there was a rumor that a treasure appeared in the Qishan area, leading all living beings to fight for it. Zhai Qiuzi did not pay much attention to it. After all, the treasure in his Phoenix Capital had already been There were countless people, but his subordinates didn't think so. Five groups of people, including nineteen leaders of different levels, went to hunt for the treasure, but they never came back, and their life or death was uncertain. At that time, Huangdu suddenly lost nineteen leaders and many talented people, and fell into a whirlpool of grief for a while. Zhai Qiuzi ran to the underground secret room, did fortune-telling among the treasures, and found that the children who had lost news were not there. Instead of actually dying, they seemed to be trapped somewhere and forced to wait for rescue.
After learning the news, Zhai Qiuzi immediately sent another team
The elites, including two veterans, never expected that the team that went out to rescue also lost news. Under tremendous pressure, Zhai Qiuzi chose to come out. The reason why the great monarch cannot leave the city is not only because the farther away from the city, the less power the mother phoenix bestows on him and the weaker his body becomes, but also because the inheritance of the great monarch can only be completed in the Phoenix Capital. If the great monarch does not If Shen died outside, the power of the great monarch that had been inherited for tens of thousands of years would be completely cut off. Zhai Qiuzi, who was eager to save people, could not take care of everything for a while. He was fully prepared. Even if he was seriously injured and on the verge of death outside, He can also quickly return to Huangdu City, and a suitable candidate has been selected in the city, ready to inherit the position of great monarch at any time.
Accompanied by three people, Zhai Qiuzi came to Qishan. At that time, Qishan was like the daily scene of the Three Sacred Mountains. There were creatures of various races chasing treasures everywhere. Why did we talk about hunting? That's because the treasure was carried on a living creature, and this living creature was the little raccoon dog. The little raccoon dog kept running away in Qishan. Many creatures blocked its way, but they were all captured by it with the treasure in its hands. He swallowed it, but after day after day of consumption, the little raccoon was exhausted. It was curled up under a pile of dead banana leaves with injuries all over its body, with only one eye exposed and staring outside in fear.
No one else could find the little raccoon, but Zhai Qiuzi easily sensed its location. Under the guidance of the mother phoenix's power, he came to the withered banana leaves. After a moment of silence, the little raccoon boy knew that he had been discovered and rushed out with the treasure. Zhai Qiuzi saw clearly that the treasure was a scroll, and the creature with the treasure was just a little guy. Zhai Qiuzi only moved his fingers, and the treasure and the little raccoon were separated instantly. The reason why the little raccoon could defeat all the masters was because of the scroll. Once the scroll was gone, it would become an ordinary creature.
Zhai Qiuzi recognized this treasure at a glance. He saw it in the scrolls in the dark building in Huangdu. In ancient times, there was a demon. It was originally a piece of bluestone, but because it was flat and smooth, creatures often put stones on it. Carvings, and after the rain has washed away, those traces will disappear, and creatures can paint on it again. In this way, generations of creatures, tens of thousands of years of carvings left on the bluestone surface, will eventually become monsters and transform into With a scroll, you can not only make paintings come true, but also capture reality into paintings. Just holding it, ordinary creatures can directly transform into powerful beings.
The little raccoon was very anxious. He couldn't speak human language and could only make random gestures. Zhai Qiuzi hesitated for a moment and exchanged the scroll with it. Xiaoxiaoli was very surprised. Instead of running away, he put down the scroll and communicated with Zhai Qiuzi using human characters. It turned out that this scroll was left to him by Xiaoxiauli's parents. And its parents were hunted to death by the beasts because of this treasure. Both the scroll and the little raccoon had the marks of the beasts on them. Its position was always exposed, and it could only run away continuously throughout its life.
Zhai Qiuzi felt compassion, thinking that this little guy was innocent, why should he be hunted down like this? Ignoring the dissuasion of his men, he used all his strength, even at the expense of the insufficient power of the mother phoenix, to erase all the beast talismans on the little raccoon dog and the scroll, and advised the little raccoon dog to just follow him. Only in this way can one avoid the disaster of death.
Little Chilli believed Zhai Qiuzi and released all the creatures sealed in the scroll. Before those creatures could react, Zhai Qiuzi had already taken Little Chilli and used secret techniques to quickly return to the Phoenix Capital. And the remaining few
Several subordinates brought the sealed Huangdu people back to the city.
In order to protect the little raccoon dog, Zhai Qiuzi blocked the news about it. Over the years, no one except himself knew where the little raccoon dog had been placed. And ten years later, the last batch of orcs looking for the little raccoon dog had also After giving up, Zhai Qiuzi wanted to restore the freedom of Xiaoli. Unfortunately, a few years ago, the mainland suddenly reorganized and Qishan disappeared. Zhai Qiuzi didn't know what to do with Xiaoli. Although Xiaoli expressed his desire to leave many times, However, because it has not been seen for many years, once it leaves alone, it will inevitably encounter many obstacles. Over the years, Zhai Qiuzi has regarded the young raccoon as a disciple and could not bear its suffering, until Lingdang and the others broke into the forbidden area.
Zhai Qiuzi looked at Mu Ziyun and smiled: "You guys broke in here and deserve to die, but...if you are willing to help me with something, I will let you go."
"We deserve to die," Mu Ziyun responded directly, "Just do it, I won't help you with anything."
Ling Dang slapped Mu Ziyun on the head and smiled flatteringly: "Old man, tell me, what are you doing?"
Zhai Qiuzi pointed at the young raccoon and said: "Take him out to play. I know you guys can't stay in Huangdu. If you want to leave, just take him with you. You don't need to carry him with you all the time. Wait until he gets used to the environment outside." Life, it will go away on its own.”
"Ah?" Mu Ziyun shook his head repeatedly and replied, "How can this be done? Who can take care of him? No, no!"
"Haha," Zhai Qiuzi said, "It's not certain who will take care of the other between you two. You are no match for it."
Xiao Li pointed the scroll at Mu Ziyun, and after putting it down, it read: "You", "No", "Opponent".
Hu Zi finalized his words and said: "We are here to help. With one more partner, we will be much happier on the road." Then he looked at the young raccoon and asked, "Are you willing?"
Xiaoli looked at Huzi, then at Zhai Qiuzi, shook her head slightly, and lowered her head again. Zhai Qiuzi said gently: "My child, don't worry about me, and don't think about me too much. You just returned to the world, and I It just so happens that we are not separated in this world and can meet each other at any time. You have been stuck here for too long, it is time to get out."
Zhai Qiuzi pointed at Huzi and said to Xiaoli: "He is as reliable as me. You have to listen to his words. Remember?"
The young raccoon's mind was obviously struggling. It wasn't that it didn't have the courage to return to the world, it was just that it had developed a father-like feeling for Zhai Qiuzi, and it was natural that it would be difficult to leave him.
Zhai Qiuzi shook his head and said: "I'm not asking you to leave immediately. You just stay in this city. They can't leave even if they want to. They owe me several months of wages. Want to leave? Well, let's talk about it in half a year."
"Hey, hey, hey, old man, I owe you two months. Don't be a lion and talk nonsense." Huzi said quickly.
"You will owe it for half a year, believe me, hehe, young man..."
As soon as he heard that he could stay in Huangdu temporarily, Xiaoli jumped up excitedly. He opened the scroll and transformed into a door wrapped in ink. Zhai Qiuzi smiled and shook his head. He stretched out his hand and the door entered again. Scroll, Zhai Qiuzi made a casual gesture, and a white circle of light opened in front of everyone. Everyone followed Zhai Qiuzi through the circle of light and returned to the Huangdu Library.
