"The mandrill took the tiger as his son?" Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but be surprised.
When Senior Mandrill saw the fierce tiger transformed by the Tiger Monk, he had absolutely no mercy when he attacked him. It can be seen that the encounters between friends and foes, fate and fate, are really ever-changing and unpredictable. They are not just humans, but also mountain spirits and aliens. The same is true.
The lame and manly old man nodded and said indifferently: "Apes have the most important territorial divisions. Mandrills make mountains their home. Those with smaller minds will kill or drive away all sentient beings in a mountain just to dominate. . There are also some kind-hearted people who regard the beasts in the mountains as their own people and take good care of them. It is not surprising that they have adopted a few tigers as their adopted sons."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Jingzhi immediately thought of the golden-eyed water bug in the Xun River. He indeed regarded the fish and turtles in the river as his descendants. After the two facts were confirmed, he knew that what the old man said was true, and he nodded silently.
The old Taoist paused for a moment, then suddenly added: "Monkey brains are the freshest, even better than rat wine. It's a pity that most of the mandrills in Daqi nowadays are servants of the mountain gods, so they can't eat them easily."
Qi Jingzhi's face stiffened when he heard this, and he was really speechless. He felt that the senior in front of him was so familiar with the world's strange beasts, and it was all because of his greedy mouth.
Once this thought came to his mind, he couldn't help but think of Qian Xiaoren who asked for money from everyone he met, and he felt that the two people had some similarities.
Naturally, the lame and leprous old man didn't know that the young man was complaining in his heart. Shi Shiran stretched out his arms, then twisted around, sat down with his back against the wall, and met Bannu's furry and warm crotch. The bodies were huddled together.
There was a contented look on his face, his eyelids immediately drooped, and he yawned and said, "Hey, I'm too old to stay up late, so I'll go first..."
Unexpectedly, before he finished his sentence, the lame and leprous old man suddenly stopped his mouth, and a pair of old eyes suddenly opened, glowing like lightning.
No matter how he acted, his body bounced off the ground and flew up into the air. A gray cloth robe was waved in the air, making a hunting sound. Z.br>
Qi Jingzhi then raised his head in shock, and saw that higher up in the vast sky, the big moon that had been hanging high in the sky had been hidden behind a thick black cloud at some point, and a line of red and white air flew from the northeast. It shot out, tens of feet long, as fast as wind, as loud as thunder, and as light as lightning. In the blink of an eye, it passed over this small fishing village and fell towards the southwest.
The light was fleeting, but the bright red and white rainbow remained in Qi Jingzhi's eyes. It was clearly a huge creature with a body like a white dragon and a head like an Akainu!
It stretches across the sky and shines on the earth, and the strong wind it carries blows over people's faces, carrying a strong fishy smell.
"Hey! Today I want to see what kind of ghost you are, the so-called Tengu who is trying to deceive the world!"
The lame and leprous old man jumped into the air, shouted loudly, leaned down suddenly, put his hands and feet on the ground, and immediately kicked off the air. In an instant, he jumped more than ten feet into the air, chasing the red and white rainbow. Go southwest.
In the flash of lightning and flint, Changhong and Lao Dao disappeared above everyone's heads, only the faint roar of wind and thunder came from the southwest.
The next moment, the domestic dogs in the fishing village suddenly barked in unison, and even the barking of dogs in the surrounding wilderness echoed in the distance, one after another, and continued for a long time.
Qi Jingzhi jumped up to the wall without thinking, looking towards the southwest, but he only saw the flowing clouds in the deep blue sky split and scattered by the red and white rainbow.
Both Changhong and Lao Dao disappeared without a trace.
"Tengu..." Qi Jingzhi murmured, his expression a little solemn.
He had heard Wan'er mention this kind of thing before. When that poor little girl's biological father dug out her eyes, he tricked her into saying that it was the heavenly dog that had swallowed up the sun, moon and stars. Later, the saintess of the White Immortal Sect also told Wan'er, Tengu will turn people into Tengu minions, and Tengu minions will dig out the liver and lungs of living people, mix them with blood and feed them to Tengu.
Qi Jingzhi originally didn't believe it, only that Tengu and Tengu's maid were fabricated to deceive the little girl, but he never expected to see it with his own eyes today.
Although the lame and mangy old man seemed to think that it was not a tengu, but some kind of ghost that was trying to deceive the world, but whether it was true or not, the size and momentum of that thing were already the same.
Only seen in his life.
Just as his thoughts were swirling, Geshu Dashi also jumped up on the wall, not forgetting to reach out and pull Wei Bao up.
The two of them stood beside Qi Jingzhi and watched for a moment. Geshu Dashi shook his head helplessly: "It's out of sight. It either flew far away or fell to the ground."
Wei Bao suddenly looked at Geshu Dashi, with a look of horror still on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "That thing is obviously heading towards Jiuzhen County City! My whole family is in the city, and you, Marquis Anfeng The government is here too, we have to rush back!"
After saying that, the tall and thin young man turned around and jumped off the wall.
Geshu Dashi followed closely behind, and as soon as it hit the ground, he grabbed the horn on the bamboo cow's head and lifted it up from the ground.
The two of them just rode on the back of the bull, and Qi Jingzhi had already flown down and climbed onto the unconscious Bannu.
Geshu Dashi and Wei Bao both turned around and saw the young swordsman smiling at them: "Let's go together!"
Immediately, the three people and two riders shouted and rushed past the cauldron that was simmering slowly and filled with aroma.
In a hurry, Qi Jingzhi glanced sideways and sighed softly with regret: "Zhu Yihou's mountain dragon meat, the five burners of incense from the Dragon Mother's Banquet, and the shake created by the monk and cooked by the Taoist priests." Niutou, I really have no luck..."
He shook his head to suppress his thoughts and cast his gaze forward. He felt that there seemed to be a huge beast lurking in the deep wilderness, watching him silently, secretly showing its sharp fangs.
I don't know how long it took, but when the sky was dim, Qi Jingzhi finally saw the outline of a dark and steep city.
There was no need to wait for the city gate to open, because the city gate in front of the three of them had already turned into charred wood on the ground. Even the wall tiles inside and outside the city gate hole were covered with scorched marks from the fire, which was shocking to look at.
There were no pedestrians coming and going at the city gate. Dozens of neatly dressed soldiers set up their horses and stood ready to block the city gate. Even the city walls were lined with archers.
When the soldiers saw Bannu and Zhuniu, who were obviously not good friends, from a distance, they immediately felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, and the sounds of drawing swords could be heard one after another.
"These are not ordinary gatekeepers, but elites under the commander of the county army. Judging from the number, they should be a team of fifty people."
When Wei Bao, the commander of the post, saw this formation, he immediately jumped off the back of the bamboo ox that suddenly slowed down, ran towards the city gate with open hands, and shouted loudly: "I am Wei from the Wei family of the Golden Sword. Leopard, I wonder which adult is in front of you?"
When the gatekeepers saw the tattered red robe and leather armor on his body, they were obviously relieved. Among them, a man with bright armor came out and took a closer look at Wei Bao's appearance. His face was tense. Mitigated: "So it's you! You came to the city so early, but you have an urgent document to deliver?"
The man clearly recognized Wei Bao. As he asked, he turned his gaze to the two riders behind him, and his eyes immediately tightened again.
Wei Bao bowed to the other party and said, "I have met Gu Duizheng. I was outside the city last night and saw a strange phenomenon in the sky. I was afraid that something would happen to my family, so I came back in a hurry."
As he spoke, he pointed behind him: "That brother with the purple beard and blue eyes is from the Anfenghou residence. Even if you have never seen him, you must have heard of him. As for this... he is a distinguished guest of my Wei family."
"Dignified guest?"
Gu Duizheng glanced at Geshu Dashi's face and stopped paying attention. Instead, he carefully looked at Qi Jingzhi as he rode.
After a while, he shook his head and said: "Wei Bao, it's not that I don't want to give you Wei family face, it's really that today's situation is special and people in the city are panicked. Brothers don't dare to let anyone in."
He pointed the tip of the knife at Ban Nu's four claws: "If you really want to enter, people can, but this horse can't! Don't say that Wei Gong is not in the county now, but his old man is here. If we really want to cause some trouble, your family is stacked together. I can’t even bear it together!”
Wei Bao immediately looked embarrassed when he heard this, and hesitated before speaking again, when he saw Qi Jingzhi riding Bannu approaching, and as he walked, he put his hand into his arms and touched it.
Seeing this, Wei Bao immediately closed his mouth.
