The Eagle Demon originally wanted to repeat his old trick, using the sound of the flute to control the eagles to dive at high speed to kill the opponent.
He did not expect that Gu Shengchao happened to have mastered the essence of Fengwu Qiuhuang sword technique:
——The phoenix dance to seek the phoenix.
Summoning a pair of phoenixes just broke his formation.
What makes Eagle Demon even more unbelievable is that he thought that the Ancient Saint Chao had fallen to death last time, but unexpectedly, he was now floating alive in front of him, clearly surpassing him.
Be timid before fighting.
The Eagle Demon controlled his huge but clumsy phoenix to pass sideways, and flapped its mountain-like wings.
The ancient sage did not retreat but advanced, facing the wings and raising his sword to slash away.
"boom!"
One of the phoenix's wings was broken, and the ancient sage slashed through the broken wing with his sword.
With its wings one long and one short, the phoenix circled down carrying the Eagle Demon.
Just as Gu Shengchao was about to slash downward with his sword, the phoenix ridden by the Eagle Demon suddenly changed color, its colorful feathers instantly turned black, its wings recovered, it raised its head and let out a chirp that resounded through the sky.
Everyone watching the battle below was also shocked. A huge eagle carrying the Eagle Demon was perched high in the sky and stared at everyone eagerly.
The ancient sage who was still on top has now become a tiny speck under the eagle's claws.
The eagle stretched out its sharp talons to catch Gu Shengchao, but he remained motionless and retreated about ten feet. The eagle flew away.
The pair of phoenixes entrenched high in the sky screamed in unison, spreading their colorful wings to intercept the eagle.
The phoenix and the phoenix together were not as big as the eagle, but they went hand in hand and rushed toward the eagle.
The eagle stretched out its curved and sharp beak and pecked wildly. It was dazzling to see. The eagle's head seemed to be everywhere in the air, completely blocking the direction of Feng and Huang.
Feng and Huang were not afraid. They raised their talons and picked off the eagle's countless heads one after another, and integrated them into their respective bodies.
Nothing was noticeable at first, but when the head of the eagle in the sky was gone, its originally huge body became smaller visible to the naked eye, while the phoenix and phoenix gradually grew larger, almost the same size as the eagle.
They are originally formed by the condensation of true energy, and as one decreases and the other increases, the gap will naturally narrow.
The Eagle Demon was horrified, and he put his piccolo to his lips and was about to blow it.
"Take your life!"
Gu Shengchao shouted loudly and struck with his sword.
The eagle was struggling with Feng Hehuang and had no time to take care of him. The ancient sage was in front of the eagle demon in an instant.
The Eagle Demon had no time to play the piccolo, and in a panic, the transverse flute came to block it.
"puff!"
Piccolo was broken into two pieces, and the Eagle Demon's body was also split in two from the middle. His Dantian was even exploded by the Ancient Saint Chao.
"Bang!"
The eagle dissipated instantly, and a powerful air current hit.
Ancient Saint Chao took Feng Hehuang away and had no time to retreat. Although he couldn't see anything, he was still knocked away and rolled over for more than ten miles before he could stabilize his body.
Fortunately, he was in the air and was not injured.
The ancient sage raised his spirits and floated back. The body of the Eagle Demon fell from a high altitude and was already bloody and bloody. It made people sick to see it.
"It's not a good place to stay for a long time, let's go!"
Everyone followed Gu Shengchao's advice and left quickly.
It was almost noon, and you could sit and rest under a low ridge on the roadside. Everyone found a place to sit down.
Because they came out to catch up in a hurry, everyone except Gu Shengchao didn't have dry food or water bags. Gu Shengchao took out all the food and everyone shared it equally to replenish their physical strength.
"The border is not safe. Beihu will still find you. What are Brother Juqu's plans?" Gu Shengchao asked casually.
Ju Qumeng shook his head helplessly: "We don't know many people in the Dawu Dynasty. It stands to reason that the further away from the border, the safer we are. But we are just unfamiliar with the place. How can we be accommodated?"
"If there is such a place to escape Beihu's harassment, what does Brother Juqu want?" Gu Shengchao thought of a perfect place.
Juqu glanced at the woman sitting next to him: "We are like bereaved dogs, and we are in panic all day long. It would be nice if we could have a place to take us in. How dare we make any further demands."
The woman stood up and went to Gu Shengchao and saluted: "I know that my benefactor has a way to accommodate us. Brother Juqu and the others are all suffering because of me. As long as the children can grow up, I will be a cow or a horse." Willingly."
"It's impossible." Gu Shengchao jumped aside.
He waved his hand and said: "You are hurting me by doing this. You must not do it. Get up quickly."
But he couldn't afford the bus: "The little girl gave birth that day, and it was all saved by my benefactor's wife. Today, she saved us again. We have no way to repay her, so we can only serve like cows and horses."
"You are too polite, please get up quickly." Gu Shengchao has been wandering around since he was a child and has suffered all kinds of hardships. He feels uncomfortable when others are grateful to him.
Gu Shengchao stepped forward to help her up, and then looked at her.
Gong Cheyue's figure looks like that of a Beihu person. He is tall and strong, but his body is bulging in the right places. Although she is married and has children, she has no extra fat.
Her face is round and translucent, and her big eyes are charming. Even without makeup or makeup, her natural beauty cannot be concealed. No wonder her family members would come all the way to compete for her. Even in the Central Plains, she doesn't have to worry about not having her husband's family.
"Where are you going?" Juqu suddenly saw that Ancient Sage Chao was willing to take them in, so he turned around to discuss with the people next to him, lest some of them would be unhappy.
Those people immediately expressed their stance: "We followed Brother Juqu from Beihu to here. We will follow you wherever you go."
Juqu suddenly felt embarrassed and said to Gu Shengchao sheepishly: "There are many of us. Isn't it inconvenient to go to Brother Shengchao's place?"
Gu Shengchao smiled and said: "Brother Juqu, don't worry, as long as your hands and feet are diligent, it doesn't matter if there are dozens more people."
Juqu looked at Gu Shengchao suspiciously, thinking that he was talking big words, and asked tentatively: "I wonder where brother Shengchao is employed, and what kind of business requires so many people?"
"Brother Juqu, have you ever heard of the Four Kings Valley?" Gu Shengchao was afraid that it would be difficult to explain to them if they didn't understand.
Fortunately, Ju Qu suddenly learned more about it: "I know this place produces expensive coffins. Some dignitaries in Beihu also tried their best to get some, and they are expensive."
Gu Shengchao nodded: "There are four kings in the Valley of the Four Kings: Zhen, Mei, Zhen, and Zhen. The younger brother is not talented and currently holds the position of the Evil Demon King, so he dares to say such big words."
Juqumeng was very excited when he heard this. He hugged his brother and jumped up excitedly: "We have met the lucky star. We are saved."
Several grown men hugged each other and jumped up and down. Busyue couldn't help but secretly wiped her tears with her hands.
Seeing their excited expressions, Gu Shengchao felt a little embarrassed and stood aside feeling uneasy.
When their passion subsided, Gu Shengchao stepped forward and asked, "I remember that there are many of you, do you need to ask us to go with you?"
Juqu sighed fiercely: "No need, there are only a few of us left."
It turned out that they settled in a small border town and planned to continue doing business to make ends meet, but found it difficult to do so.
They originally secretly packed up private goods from the Dawu Dynasty and went to Beihu to sell them, and the profits were quite considerable. But doing business in the Dawu Dynasty was different. They were unfamiliar with the place and not well-informed. Instead of making any money, they lost a lot of money. Therefore, a few of those people slipped away from time to time, and in the end they were the only ones left.
Busyue's mother-in-law fell ill and had no money for medical treatment, and she also died of illness not long ago.
Today they plan to sell their respective mounts and find a place to sell their labor to make a living. If Gong Cheyue's brother hadn't come to snatch her away, they might have never met each other.
In the hearts of Beihu people, horses are no different from family members, and they will not do so if they have no choice but to do so.
Gu Shengchao also sighed after hearing this, and discussed: "Brother Juqu, are you going to go back and tidy up, or are you coming with me now?"
Juqu said with embarrassment: "There is no need to go back. We have already owed a lot of rent for our houses, and we have to pay money when we go back. I have all the valuable things on my body, so let's go with Brother Shengchao now."
A few people were chatting and walking. There was a post station on the border. Gu Shengchao took out his tooth tag to verify his identity, and wrote a handwritten memorial to the emperor in the capital, explaining the situation in Sereng Kingdom and then asked to go home to visit his wife and children. The reply address was the one closest to the Valley of the Four Kings. A way station.
Gu Shengchao arranged all the food and accommodation along the way. It seemed that Ju Qumeng and his party were really penniless.
Gu Shengchao knew that the people of Beihu were very hospitable. Even if there was only the last sheep left in the house, he would kill it to show hospitality to guests whenever they came.
As we walked leisurely, spring was already in full bloom. Along the way, peach blossoms were red, plum blossoms were white, and cauliflowers were yellow. The spring scenery was completely different from the desolation of the Serang Kingdom.
Arriving at the station near the Four Kings Valley, Ancient Sage Chao went to check the letter. The emperor's edict had been delivered half a month in advance, with only the word "ke" on it and a thousand taels of silver notes.
When Ju Qu suddenly saw the banknote, his eyes almost popped out of his head, and he was even more impressed by Gu Shengchao.
They first came to Qingguo Town, not far from the entrance to the Four Kings Valley. The man in the town knew Gu Shengchao. They stored their horses in the town and then walked to find the entrance.
There is only a shallow layer of river water on the river beach, and you can walk on the water under your feet.
Gu Shengchao clearly remembered that when the water level was low, he could walk to find the entrance of the cave. There was no need for Wu Jun to take him in by boat like last time.
However, he had already passed the entrance of the cave and still didn't see it.
strangeness.
Gu Shengchao was in trouble again.
It shouldn’t be!
The first time he entered the Four Kings Valley, Wanruo ordered Wu Jun and Yu Ji to put him in a bag and carry him in.
The second time he couldn't find the entrance to the cave, Wu Jun took him in by boat.
The third time was when Fan Lixin was injured and was rescued by them. Gu Shengchao carried Fan Lixin on his back and followed Wan Ruo in.
I've obviously been here three times, but I just can't find the entrance.
Ju Qumeng began to wonder again whether the guy who claimed to be the Evil Demon King was a fake.
Just as Gu Shengchao was looking around, he turned around and saw a person appearing out of thin air on the river, it was Yu Ji.
"Yu Ji, Yu Ji, I'm here." Gu Shengchao waved desperately, fearing that the other party wouldn't see him.
Yu Ji was stunned for a moment, then immediately ran over and said excitedly: "When did Uncle Master come? Why don't you go in?"
"I……"
Gu Shengchao glanced at Juqumeng and said truthfully: "I can't find the entrance to the cave again."
The word "again" is full of sadness.
