Hearing this name, Mikado Beiharu looked a little solemn.
"Empress Houtu..." The mermaid queen's face showed confusion at first, and then shock, "Is this the existence you met under the netherworld?"
Zu An nodded. In the past, he might have doubted whether Empress Hou Tu could do it. But not long ago, he learned about the concept of Huang Tian Hou Tu from Yi. Hou Tu existed side by side with Huang Tian. Her strength
and status is much higher than I imagined.
What's more, she is also in charge of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, so it is not impossible to send a person to another world and time and space.
But why would she do this?
The key is that you did this without revealing your identity. If the Mermaid Queen hadn't been able to imitate her voice perfectly, you wouldn't have known that she did all this.
I clearly promised Queen Houtu to help her find six tokens of authority, but she didn't say hello to me. Instead, she suddenly sent the Mermaid Queen over. What's the purpose of this?
And what is the price she mentioned that the Mermaid Queen has to pay?
There were too many doubts in his mind at that moment, and he always felt as if he was in a huge conspiracy, with a pair or even several pairs of terrifying eyes staring at him from behind. He shuddered just thinking about it.
"Why would Empress Houtu do such a thing?" The Mermaid Queen obviously had the same doubts.
Mikado Beiharu's eyes moved slightly, as if he thought of something, but he was not sure.
Zu An asked curiously: "Sister Ling'er, what did you think of?"
Mikado Beiharu shook his head: "There is too little information to deduce anything substantial."
Then he asked the Mermaid Queen: "What are your plans next?"
The Mermaid Queen opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
To be honest, this world was too unfamiliar to her, and she seemed to vaguely feel the hostility of the demon saint toward her.
Is it because of Brother Zu...
Fortunately, Zu An helped her smooth things over at this time: "Just stay with us, I won't let anything happen to you."
The Mermaid Queen hummed. With his words, other things were no longer important.
Mikado Beiharu hesitated for a while, and then said: "Judging from the instant killing of those pursuers just now, that Yi is very strong. If he finds out that his fiancée is here with you, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to be kind."
Zu An sighed: "When the time comes, I will explain to him that if he really doesn't accept it, we can only fight. I can't leave Suyin alone."
Whether it was out of obligation or emotion, he had no reason to abandon the Mermaid Queen.
When she heard Brother Zu calling her name, the Mermaid Queen's eyes narrowed and a gentle smile appeared on her brows.
Mikado Beiharu wanted to persuade her again, but suddenly her eyes lit up and she thought of another possibility. This development seemed to be good...
So she took the Mermaid Queen's hand and said: "Queen, don't be offended. I just said that just to analyze the current situation, not against you. I hope you don't be offended."
The Mermaid Queen was originally in a very good mood when she reunited with Zu An, but now that she saw her taking the initiative to show her kindness, she didn't care: "The saint is too worried. We should work together."
Mikado Beiharu was not used to this situation of deep sisterly love, but she couldn't take her hand back.
Fortunately, the Mermaid Queen asked: "By the way, why are you here?"
Only then did Mikado Beiqing take the opportunity to withdraw his hand: "We are going to Kunlun Mountain to save the god Baojiang..."
Immediately, he briefly explained the whole story.
"Baojiang?" The Mermaid Queen frowned slightly, "I seem to have heard of this name before."
"Where have you heard of it?" Zu An couldn't help but be overjoyed. The Kunlun Mountains are too big. Looking for Baojiang is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But if there are clues, it will save a lot of trouble.
"I remembered," the Mermaid Queen's eyes suddenly lit up, "He had come to the Chang clan to stay for a few days before. He seemed to be looking for some herbs. The elders of the clan even showed him the way. It was because I had just arrived in this world.
I was in a panic, so I didn’t pay much attention to this, and I didn’t think of it until I heard the name just now.”
"About when did he come to the Chang clan?" Mikado Beiqing suddenly asked.
The Mermaid Queen thought for a moment and said: "About half a month ago."
"What?" Zu An's surprise was not trivial. He had been looking forward to catching up with him as soon as possible and maybe saving his life. Even if he couldn't save him, it would be good to know the whereabouts of the glazed hairpin flower.
But now it was learned that he had passed by the Chang clan half a month ago, and it was impossible for them to catch up.
Now the conspirators hiding in the dark have already killed Bao Jiang and may have obtained information about the elixir.
Thinking that all his efforts these days were in vain, Zu An became particularly depressed.
"Actually, there is no need to be too discouraged. According to folklore, one day in the sky and one year on the earth. Maybe Baojiang has just returned from the heaven report," Mikado Beiharu said, "Think about it, when will the murderer choose
What’s the best way to start?”
"If Baojiang was killed on his way to the Heavenly Court to meet the Emperor of Heaven, then the Heavenly Court would have noticed something unusual immediately."
"But if Baojiang meets the Emperor of Heaven and comes back after his recovery, Heavenly Court will not think of contacting him again for a while. If he dies on the road, Heavenly Court may not be able to find out after decades have passed."
Upon hearing her analysis, Zu An's eyes suddenly lit up: "Sister Ling'er, you are so witty, you can even think of this!"
The other party's analysis is indeed reasonable and reasonable. If I were the murderer, I would definitely choose to be on the other party's return trip.
And with his current understanding of space changes, he also understands that "a day in the sky and a year on earth" is by no means groundless.
He hurriedly asked the Mermaid Queen: "Do you still remember where Baojiang left in the first place?"
Generally speaking, the return trip is mostly the same as the way out.
The Mermaid Queen thought for a moment, then a trace of blue light appeared on her fingertips, and she drew a map on the table: "I was also thinking about escaping at the beginning, so I was very concerned about the terrain around the Chang clan. I should go from here.
of."
Zu An checked it with the map given by the Wushan Goddess and found that it was roughly consistent. The Mermaid Queen was more detailed, so he determined the direction and hurriedly drove the crystal boat to catch up in that direction.
They flew like this for several days, but still found nothing. The three of them couldn't help but become a little worried, worried that they were looking in the wrong direction.
Suddenly Mikado Beiharu pointed in a direction: "There seems to be movement over there!"
Zu An looked over there and seemed to notice some swaying in the woods over there. Although there was no obvious movement, he decided to go over and have a look.
As a result, not long after he flew there, Zu An let out a sigh, and he noticed that there seemed to be an extremely clever formation around him.
He and Mikado Shiharu looked at each other and started to move together. The formation flags were flying. Soon the space changed, and an old man with a white beard was seen leaning against a big tree.
His snow-white robe had already been stained with blood and turned into a large area of bright red, as if his ribs had been severely injured.
The formation just now was obviously arranged by him to hide himself.
As a result, now that the formation was broken, he didn't react at all.
"Baojiang!" Zu An thought of the description of the Wushan goddess and immediately recognized that this was the real owner they were looking for.
Seeing Baojiang's current state, Mikado Beiharu beside him swayed, his face was extremely pale, and his eyes became particularly blank.
Is everything destined? It can never be changed...
