The next morning, Xu Shouguang, Chao Qiandai, and Jing Jingsi arrived at the foot of Heifeng Mountain. After coming out of Baicao Forest last night, Xu Shouguang originally asked Jing Jingsi to go home, but Jing Jingsi insisted repeatedly and was pressed for time. In the end, he couldn't resist and had to agree to let Jing Jingsi accompany the two of them to save people.
After traveling all night, the three of them were a little tired, so they sat on the side of the road to rest. At this time, a horse team came from a distance, about five or six people, with turbans on their heads, all riding on big horses. The leader was a dark-skinned man about thirty years old, with a rugged appearance, but the most impressive thing was the tuft of hair growing under his cheek.
When the horse team passed by the three of them, a tuft of hair tightened the reins, and the big horse neighed and stopped. A tuft of hair was riding on the horse, looking straight at Chao Qiandai sitting on the ground, his eyes narrowed, and he said with a lewd smile: "Yo! What a handsome little lady!"
As soon as Yizu Mao finished speaking, several of his men behind him immediately burst into malicious laughter. Jing Jingsi quickly stood up and stood in front of Chao Qiandai, glaring at the group of people opposite.
Xu Shouguang also stood up. He grabbed Jingsi and smiled at the people on the horse: "Brothers, what are you doing?"
Seeing that these two people were blocking his view of the beauty, Zhuanmao said impatiently: "Master, I have fallen in love with this little lady. You two are so disappointed, get away quickly. If you walk slowly, be careful of getting knifed!" After that, he also said He deliberately put his hand on the sword at his waist to scare the two of them.
"Brother, my girl has a bad temper. I advise you to forget it..." Being threatened by this tuft of hair, Xu Shouguang smiled instead of getting angry.
"Hey! I have a bad temper... I like this kind of thing, uncle..." Before he could finish his words, a figure flew out from behind Xu Shouguang. Chao Qiandai was holding a red umbrella and was poking at a bunch of hair. Mao's rosacea nose stabbed him hard and dismounted him. The blow came suddenly, and several of the men behind Zuofu Mao were stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do.
A tuft of hair covered his bloody nose and struggled to get up from the ground. Xu Shouguang was still smiling: "I told you, my girl has a bad temper..."
"What are you still doing there! Come on together!" A tuft of hair shouted at his men.
Only then did several of his subordinates react. They dismounted, drew out the weapons from their waists, and greeted the three of them.
"Kill the men, but keep the women for me..." Zuofuo Mao lowered his head and took off the water bag from his waist, while not forgetting to tell his men to pay attention. After that, he unscrewed the stopper on the water bag and poured out the water to wash away the blood on his face.
But when he raised his head again, he saw his men lying on the ground in a mess, and Chao Qiandai was inserting the Guwu Sword back into the umbrella.
"You...who are you..." A tuft of hair was so frightened that he quickly stepped back.
No one answered. At this time, Chao Qiandai took a step towards him. A tuft of hair was so frightened that he sat on the ground and kept shouting: "Don't come over! Don't come over... You don't dare to kill me..." ."
"Hey, why don't you dare?" Xu Shouguang stopped Chao Qiandai and squatted in front of Tuomao with a smile.
"You... have you ever heard of King Huang's general Shang Junchang..." A tuft of hair tried hard to say this sentence with some momentum.
Everyone shook their heads.
"...This...you...do you know Mr. Fengshi..." Yizu Mao couldn't understand that these people in front of him didn't even recognize Mr. Shang, so he had to try another name.
"Oh, what a coincidence, I do know this..." Xu Shouguang said.
A tuft of hair saw that Xu Shouguang knew Feng Shijun, his eyes lit up immediately, and he spoke with some confidence: "Did you know that Feng Shijun is going to hold a reception banquet?"
"Know..."
"Then do you know who is being entertained at this reception banquet?"
"Who is it?"
"Hmph! The person we are going to entertain at this reception banquet is none other than my general Shang Junchang! As a pioneer, I, as a pioneer, have to go to the Sao Feng Cave one step ahead of my general and let them prepare in advance!" A tuft of hair was already standing straight at this time. waist board.
"That's it..." everyone said in unison.
A tuft of hair seemed to notice something was wrong in everyone's eyes, and he shrank back quickly: "You...what are you going to do..."
After a while, a bunch of hair was stripped off and hung on the tree, and he watched helplessly as several people rode away on their horses.
Half an hour later, on the mountain path of Black Wind Mountain, two little mountain patrol monsters were walking one behind the other. The one walking in front is a raccoon, carrying a gong in his hand, a flag on his back, a fur skirt tied around his waist, and a heart goggle hanging on his chest; the one walking behind is a jackal, dragging a flag in his hand. It had a bone-chopping knife, a piece of rag hung in front of its crotch, a bone in its mouth, and a broken iron pot on its head.
While walking, the raccoon suddenly thought of something. He turned around and said to the jackal behind him: "When you meet the messenger of the gods, you have to hold back. Don't pounce on the meat when you see it. If you offend the gods, Be careful, Lord Jun will swallow you alive..."
The jackal at the back didn't seem to be very good at talking, and just said from his nose: "Well..."
Just as he was saying this, he saw three horses turning in from the mountain pass ahead, and sitting immediately were three people, namely Xu Shouguang, Chao Qiandai and Jing Jingsi. As soon as the jackal saw the fresh meat coming, he immediately used his claws to lift the edge of the broken iron pot, spit out the bones in his mouth to the side of the road, picked up the bone-cutting knife and rushed forward. But before he even took two steps, the raccoon grabbed the fur at the back of his neck and pulled him back.
"What did I just tell you and you forgot?" Tanuki tapped the broken iron pot twice with his paw.
Jackal then remembered what he had just said and snorted reluctantly.
"Remember!" Tanuki finally warned the jackal again, then turned around and trotted towards the three people opposite with a smile on his face.
This raccoon obviously belongs to the kind of person in Black Wind Mountain who is good at dealing with people and the world. He bowed to the three of them first and said, "How many of them are the envoys of the gods?"
"Exactly." Xu Shouguang rode on the horse, took out the token he just found on Zuomao and threw it away.
Tanuki took the token and inspected it carefully.
"Oh, we've waited for some distinguished guests. Let me lead the way for these distinguished guests..." Li returned the token to Xu Shouguang, then turned around immediately, not forgetting to make a gesture of invitation.
"Hey, this little monster is okay, he's still on his way..." Xu Shouguang whispered in Chao Qiandai's ear.
"Ahem..." Chao Qiandai coughed dryly, rolled his eyes at Xu Shouguang, and then pretended that nothing happened.
"...boring..." Xu Shouguang muttered in a low voice, and then looked at Jing Jingsi who was riding behind him. The young man was now worried about his grandpa. Xu Shouguang shook his head, simply clamped the horse's belly, and rushed forward. After two steps, he went directly to talk to the little demon.
"I said, this demon brother..."
"Black Eyes, your distinguished guest can just call me Black Eyes..." Li hurriedly introduced himself, then pointed at the jackal under the broken iron pot and said, "Its name is Huangpi."
"Be particular! Don't forget to introduce your friends..." Xu Shouguang couldn't help but give this raccoon a thumbs up in his heart, but said: "Brother Black Eyes, if it's convenient, please introduce us to me as the envoy. "
Li Li suddenly became interested when he heard this: "If you want to make us the envoy, he is a great demon who has lived for thousands of years! It is said that in the previous dynasty, he turned into a human form and served as a prefect. Now, although the surname in this world is Li, this world is It belongs to the Li family, but this Fangzhou belongs to Feng Shijun. Feng Shijun is unrivaled in his ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth. He also has eight hundred demon soldiers and demon generals under his command, roaring in the mountains and forests. The other demons and immortals nearby, whether it is the Black King, or Liu Taoist people all regard our envoy as a leader!"
The raccoon was frothing as he talked, and Xu Shouguang sat on his horse and listened quietly. Seeing that Xu Shouguang didn't speak, Li wondered if he had said something that made the other party feel a little slighted. He smiled quickly and said quickly: "Of course, Feng Shijun respects Master Shenshi very much..."
"Speaking of respect, what have you prepared for the Jiefeng Banquet?" Xu Shouguang began to lead the conversation to the Jiefeng Banquet.
"Of course it's the best one to get, what delicacies from mountains and seas, what kind of meat and wine..."
"What kind of meat is good? Brother Black Eyes, let me tell you. Let me see if there is anything that the Lord God is taboo on..."
"Zeer deer, sika deer, chickens and ducks stewed with mushrooms, pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, and..."
"What else?" Seeing Li's hesitation, Xu Shouguang asked quickly.
"And human flesh with fine wine."
"Human flesh?" Xu Shouguang asked for a long time before finally getting to the point.
"Yes, human flesh, a few living people who came as tribute from the nearby fairies, including a high official! I just didn't know if the Lord God Envoy liked this, so I didn't mention it any further. ..”
"...Well...when it comes to this human flesh, although the God Envoy can eat it, he is very particular about it..."
"Oh?" the raccoon asked curiously, and the jackal on the side also pricked up his ears and started to listen.
"Of course it's steaming, cooking, stewing and roasting. It's hard to see..."
"That's right! Otherwise, you guys know how to eat. If you leave us here, you'll basically just eat them alive..." Li patted his thigh, and then asked: "Then what kind of person is suitable for this? What kind of approach?"
"Hey, I took the bait..." Xu Shouguang was secretly happy in his heart, but frowned on his face: "I'm afraid I can't explain this clearly... Well, you take me to have a look when we get there soon. Tell you directly to the person.”
"Then thank you for your distinguished guest!" The raccoon danced with joy. It glanced forward and said to Xu Shouguang: "I just wanted to talk to you, so here we are."
After hearing what Li said, Xu Shouguang looked forward. Sure enough, there was a big cave not far away. The entrance of the cave was inlaid with two heavy solid wood doors. There were several rows of bronze rivets on the door. The two brass door knockers were decorated with the same yellow color. The lion's head made of copper is held in the mouth. There is a stone plaque above the gate with the three characters "Xao Feng Cave" engraved on it. The door is guarded by two little demons, one is a lynx and the other is a badger.
Li took out a mallet from his waist, banged the gong in his hand, and then raised his neck and shouted loudly: "The distinguished guest is here!"
Hearing the sound of the gong, Shanmao and Badger hurriedly opened the door, and then Li continued to lead the way. Xu Shouguang and others followed Li and walked in swaggeringly.
After entering the cave, Xu Shouguang silently observed his surroundings. The entrance of Xiaofeng Cave is large, and the inside of the cave is even bigger. The road is winding and full of forks. It is really difficult to walk without a familiar guide.
A few people walked in the cave for a while. Before a fork in the road, Li turned to Xu Shouguang and said, "First, I will take a few distinguished guests to see Lord Fengshi. After meeting Lord Fengshi, I will take a few more." When we get to the place where those people are being held, we will have to trouble the distinguished guests to give them some pointers..."
When he heard that he had to go to Feng Shijun first, Xu Shouguang was afraid that his secret might be revealed, so he frowned and said, "It's easy to give me some advice, but if I go to Feng Shijun first, I'm afraid that I'll have to explain a lot of things. It will take a long time to talk about it. Why don't we go to the place where people are detained first, and I will pick up the essentials and tell you, without delaying our visit to the envoy."
"...This...I'm afraid it's not good..." Tanuki clicked his tongue.
"What's wrong? It's just a matter of two sentences..." Xu Shouguang tried hard to convince Li.
"Yeah!" Jackal drooled and agreed.
Li was already in a dilemma. He looked at Xu Shouguang and then at Jackal who was holding a broken iron pot and was extremely excited. He gritted his teeth and said, "...Okay, but we have to hurry up. Feng Shijun doesn't have much patience... ."
So Li led Xu Shouguang and his party on another road, and after twists and turns, they finally came to a natural stone room.
As soon as he entered the stone room, Xu Shouguang smelled an unusually strong odor. There were many wooden cages in the stone chamber, which contained various animals snatched from various places. The puddles of feces and urine were left uncleaned and exuded a disgusting stench. There is also a slightly larger wooden cage at the end of the stone room, with several people locked inside.
Li led Xu Shouguang and his entourage to the cage, pointed at the people inside and said, "These are the living people who came as tribute. Dear guest, please tell me which way to make it more delicious..."
"Yeah! Yeah!" Jackal echoed excitedly.
"Dog thief! If you associate with monsters, you will die a good death!" A one-eyed dragon in the cage cursed when he saw Xu Shouguang hanging out with monsters. Xu Shouguang looked the one-eyed dragon up and down. Although he was missing an eye, judging from his luxurious clothes, he should be the high official that Li said.
Seeing that the people inside were dishonest, Tanuki took out the mallet from his waist and smashed it against the wooden cage. A thud was heard, which really startled the one-eyed dragon inside.
"Be honest! Otherwise, I'll eat you now!" He threatened with bared teeth. Seeing that the one-eyed dragon was quiet, Li turned to Xu Shouguang with a smile: "Dear guest, look..."
At this time, in the cage that was originally leaning against the corner, a man wearing simple clothes and covered with injuries saw An Jingsi outside the cage, and suddenly became excited. He struggled to stand up and stumbled towards this side. This move immediately attracted the attention of raccoon dog and jackal, and jackal walked straight towards the cage with a bone-cutting knife.
Xu Shouguang hurriedly stopped the jackal with one hand and pointed at the man in the cage with the other: "Ahem...this man may be suffering from a mad disease. Such people cannot eat, and they will go crazy after eating..." he said , while secretly blinking at the man in the cage.
The man obviously saw Xu Shouguang's little movement. He tried to calm down and silently retreated back to the corner. Although the one-eyed dragon only had one eye, he had already seen everything. After a little analysis, he made a guess and found a corner to sit down.
When Li saw the man retreating, he said to Xu Shouguang: "I'm not crazy now, I can eat again..."
"Intermittent madness is still madness, but I still can't eat..." Xu Shouguang shook his head.
"You can't eat this, you can't eat that... What about the others? How do the others eat?" Li seemed to have lost his patience.
"Well, you two come over here, let me tell you two..." Xu Shouguang pulled both the raccoon dog and the jackal to the cage and winked at Chao Qiandai. Chao Qiandai nodded in agreement and put his hand on the cage. The solitary owl falls on the cloudy umbrella.
"What are you doing here!" A high-pitched and nasal voice suddenly came from the other end of the stone room. This startled Xu Shouguang and Chao Qiandai, who were about to take action. Xu Shouguang hurriedly returned to Juanxi. After putting it back in the wishful bag, Chao Qiandai also hurriedly took his hand away from the umbrella handle.
