"Sir, Empress Sanhua said she was watching the stars in the tree and would come down after a while."
"Yeah?"
"That's what Sanhua Empress said."
"Empress Sanhua——"
Song You raised his head and looked up along the green tung tree. His sight was quickly blocked by the thick fog, and then he asked: "Are the stars above beautiful?"
"..."
I could faintly hear voices.
It's extremely cold at high places, and the sounds are becoming increasingly rare.
"Can't hear clearly."
The Taoist said casually.
"nice--"
A louder sound came from the top, with a long tail, still accompanied by the sound of the wind, but this time it could be heard clearly.
"Then when will Sanhua Empress come down?"
"In a bit!"
The calico cat paused for a moment, then asked anxiously: "The stars are very beautiful up there, do you want to come up and take a look?"
"Miss Sanhua, just jump down and I will catch you."
"..."
There was an inaudible sound of wind above my head.
A calico cat fell straight from the clouds and mist.
The Taoist raised his bamboo stick a little, and a soft breeze blew up in front of him, forming an invisible air cushion. The cat fell down on all fours and was held up by the wind. She felt as if she was being held up, and then
He slowly lowered it to the ground in the gentle breeze and breathed a sigh of relief.
Mao'er's eyes moved quickly, thinking about how to explain. But just when she raised her head and looked at her Taoist priest, she saw her Taoist priest holding her little flag and handing it to her.
"This is the flag of Empress Sanhua. Return it to Empress Sanhua."
"Well……"
Just listen to Peng Ran's sound.
The cat immediately transformed into a human form, lowered his head to take the flag from the Taoist's hand, then raised his head to look at the Taoist with bright eyes: "You put a lot of things in again?"
"It's not that Empress Sanhua's talent is too high and her Taoist cultivation is progressing too fast. Although the original demon tigers and wolves are powerful, they are of less and less help to Empress Sanhua." Song You said helplessly, "We have to look for it again.
Some suitably heinous monsters are packed in."
"There are so many pretense!"
"They are all heinous monsters, and they should be treated as gifts to Empress Sanhua." Song You said calmly, "It's just that these monsters are far deeper than the evil tigers in Sanhua Empress's flag. Empress Sanhua still has to summon her like before.
Just like the Jin River Demon Tiger, they go from weak to strong, gradually conquer them one by one, and don't act too hastily. Their wisdom must also exceed that of the Jin River Demon Tiger, and even more than that of wolves, and the Three Flower Empress must also use it when using them.
Be careful and take advantage of it.”
After speaking for a moment, he shook his head again, as if to refute his own words, or to say to himself: "Ms. Sanhua is smart and cautious, mature and patient. She has understood the truth of Xu Tuzhi since she was a child. Why do I need to do these things?"
Where’s the reminder?”
"Yes!"
The girl nodded seriously without hesitation.
Hold the flag and feel it for a moment——
The flag is a little different from before.
This is because the original Wolf Summoning Flag was only the natal magic weapon of the Saibei Wolf King. Saibei Wolf King’s abilities were limited. Compared with the monsters in the hall just now, they were probably at an average level. Correspondingly, this Wolf Summoning Flag can accommodate
There is no problem with a pack of wolves, and it is not a big problem to accommodate a dozen monster tigers, but it is not possible to accommodate so many monsters who are not weaker than the Wolf King.
So the Taoist gave it more spiritual power, making this magical weapon more powerful.
At the same time, there were nearly thirty more monsters inside.
It's just that the monsters at this time exist more in the form of aura, and they are all in their original form. Even if they are summoned, they cannot have all the thoughts and abilities they had before. It is convenient for the Sanhua Empress to check and select.
At first glance, she saw the first person she wanted to conquer and manifest——
A huge and tall white crane.
It's a pity that Bai He's Taoism seems to be considered high among the monsters, and none of these monsters, Sanhua Empress, can compare to them. It will take a while to practice before he can try to subdue and manifest the first one.
The first one cannot be this white crane...
Sanhua Empress is smart, cautious, mature and patient.
The little girl was thinking as she placed the flag.
Song You put his hand into his arms again and took out a small piece, not much bigger than a fingernail. It was white in color. Upon closer inspection, it looked like a fan, but it was surprisingly small.
"I saw another interesting thing from the willow demon." Song You handed it to Yan Zi, "The name of this thing is Bu Kuang. It is a fan. It should be the top magical weapon in ancient times, even if it is
If a mortal man holds this fan and flaps it gently, even gods will not be able to fly into the sky and will have to fall down."
"We couldn't fly that day. Sir, we rode the wind and landed on the ground. Was it this fan?"
"Exactly."
"Sir, this is..."
Yanzi watched the Taoist hold the fan, which was not much bigger than his feathers, getting closer and closer to him. He couldn't help but be stunned and at a loss.
"If you don't want to fight, I will give you this gift. If you encounter danger in the future, just slap the fan and the other party will not be able to fly. You can leave easily." Song You said for a while, "Just right.
The size of this object can be changed at will, and it is very convenient for you to carry it.”
"This...this...is too precious."
"It's just a foreign object." Song You just said, "You can use it, you can rely on it, just do whatever you want."
"Thank you sir..."
Once the swallow heard this, he no longer refused.
He flew over with a flutter of wings and picked up the fan, which was about the size of a feather, in his beak.
Not long after, fire broke out again in the Qingtong forest.
This time it was a small bonfire.
The Taoist sat cross-legged in front of the bonfire.
A little girl wearing three-color clothes sat next to him. Next to her was a pile of dry firewood that she had just picked up. As she put the firewood into the fire, she held her little flag and looked at it carefully in the light of the fire.
The firewood illuminated her face, making her face look pink and tender.
Suddenly she seemed to remember something, and then asked: "Taoist priest, have you gotten rid of that monster?"
"No."
The Taoist sitting cross-legged opened his eyes and replied calmly.
"Swallow said you burned it to ashes."
"I just defeated it and burned its main body." Song You said patiently, "Its clones are all over this Qingtong forest, and its root system is spread over hundreds of miles. It is inseparable from the Qingtong tree. If you want to completely destroy it,
Extermination is not an easy task."
"Is this the reason why the willow demon dared to fight him head-on even though he knew he was no match?" Yanzi asked, standing on a nearby branch.
"clever."
Song You sat still and stared at the fire.
Plants and trees are the most difficult to kill when they become spirits. Just like the bamboo monster in Changjing, the willow tree's vitality is particularly tenacious among plants and trees. What's more, his thousand-year practice is truly the best in the world, and he had already expected that today and would be in this area.
After many years of preparation on the land, there are only two things that can be calculated accurately -
It is not easy for human monks or heavenly gods to discover his plans and his hiding place.
Even if he is discovered, there is nothing that can be done against him.
Nowadays, Dayan's national destiny is declining rapidly, and the world is already in chaos, which seems to indicate that chaos is inevitable. Once the world is in chaos and humanity weakens, it will be a good time for evil spirits to emerge. In addition, the conflict between the central court and the northern Chen clan warlords is very likely
As a result of the great war in the north, once corpses were scattered thousands of miles away and the mountains and rivers were stained with blood, it would be the perfect soil for the willow demon to practice.
So he takes root here and will eventually reach the ancient pinnacle.
"Then what do we do?"
Sanhua Empress frowned.
"Not urgent."
Song You looked at the barbecue skewered next to him, sprinkled some salt on it, and said slowly: "I have set up a large formation in this Qingtong forest to seal the place. Many evil spirits came out today, so I invited the Three Flower Empress
He Yan'an worked hard for some days to find them slowly, and get rid of all those who are stained with blood and evil spirits."
“So how do you get rid of the willow tree?”
"Just wait for the weather."
After Song finished talking, he picked up the barbecue and started eating.
Eat, drink, rinse your mouth, and sleep where you are.
This time I came to this green tung forest, it was completely different from the last time.
It was winter here last time, with ice and snow, and the bone-chilling chill. This time I came here, it was already early summer. Although this Qingtong forest was not hot at all, it was still cool. Even under the shroud of fog, every gust of wind blew by.
It's cool, but I can already spend the night on the spot.
At midnight that night, a young scholar came to visit.
The young scholar was the one who saved the storyteller named Dong back then and reminded Song Dynasty of the strange deer demon traveling across Yuezhou.
The deer demon was respectful and polite. He talked with Song You who woke up across the half-extinguished fire at night. He claimed to be a wild deer in the Qingtong forest. Because of the mysterious aura of the Qingtong forest, he became a spirit and took the character deer as his surname.
However, many years ago, the Willow Demon secretly came here, not only polluting the sacred auspiciousness of this place, but also seducing many monsters into corruption and bringing them to his Demon Kingdom to become evil spirits. The Deer Demon was kind-hearted and could not bear to see this scene.
I happened to see Song You who seemed to be very capable, so I reminded him secretly.
Now that I saw him destroying the Willow Demon, I came here to express my gratitude.
Song You shook his head and told him that the willow demon was still alive. He talked with him for a long time and asked him to pack his bags before leaving and leave the forest as soon as possible.
It was almost dawn by now.
With a wave of his hand, the fog suddenly dispersed.
The sky is filled with stars.
The Taoist fell asleep again.
In the next few days, Sanhua Empress would often ride her tiger and wolf, and take the swallow with her, running through the entire green paulownia forest, searching for evil spirits and slaying them.
Song You stopped where he was and waited quietly.
Gradually from early summer to midsummer.
Sanhua Empress came back for the last time and said to him: "The swallow has not found any new monsters for three days. The monsters we found are all good. We will follow your instructions and ask them to go out and walk to the edge of Qingtong Forest."
Go and wait, and go out early when the time comes. The other bad monsters may have been beaten to death, or they may be hiding."
"It doesn't matter." Song You said to them, "There is no need to go back after today. Even if there are fish that slip through the net, there are not many, and we can't make any waves."
"OK!"
"Thank you for your hard work."
“It’s not hard work!”
Another night gradually falls.
The nearest Qingtong forest was clear and bright, with no fog at all, just like the night of the winter solstice that year.
