Chapter 84 Blue Snake Xizhen

Amber Dragon King feels that he has always said goodbye to his son again and again recently. The reluctance to send him away and the concern when waiting for his news remain unchanged, but his trust in him is increasing day by day.

Looking at his son in dragon scale armor, he has an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart, which is a kind of pride for parents to watch their children grow up. This time he did not send his son to the dock, but just said goodbye to him in the Amber Dragon Palace.

When he left, he looked at Xia Qiu, who was standing beside Qianqi, and then said meaningfully to his son, "As a man, you must protect the person you think is the most important!"

Yuchan rushed to the dock to see Ouyang Xiao Leng off regardless of her identity, but she couldn't get close to them. She had to watch them board the ferry from afar. Because she came out in a hurry, she felt even colder by the water with only a shirt, and she burst into tears for a moment.

After leaving Dongyao, the four teenagers continued to embark on the journey. The more you go to the east, the more desolate it is. The forests have died for some unknown reason. There are only bare trunks, and there is no grass on the ground. Looking at the white spots on the trunk, Ouyang Xiao Leng guessed that these trees may have some disease. In the demon world, it is rare for trees and plants to get sick, because most trees themselves have the demonic power that allows them to heal themselves, so this phenomenon inevitably attracts their attention.

He jumped off his horse and observed the trees closely, but inadvertently found a water source on the edge of the tree. From the smell and color of the water, he could easily find the real reason for the death of large plants. It was a pug of water left after the heavy rain, which reminded him of the acid rain he had heard of in the world, but the acid rain in the demon world was really once in a thousand years.

When they came to the border of Mucheng Xizhen, they finally saw a little anger. Although the weeds on the edge of the city were not dense, they were still green. Although there were white spots on the sporadic trees, there were also some green leaves. The gate of Xizhen City is locked. The city wall here is extremely high, and you can't see the situation inside clearly. It is easy to encounter hidden weapons or be attacked.

Ouyang Xiao Leng and Qian Qi turned over and dismount their horses. They walked to the gate and patted hard a few times. They didn't respond. They carefully looked for the organs that might appear on and around the gate for a long time. Unfortunately, they still got nothing.

"Is this city simply not allowed to be entered by outsiders now?" Qianqi asked doubtfully, and then lay on the gate and listened to the movement in the city.

At this moment, the door reacted. The small window used as a door mirror on the door was pulled open, and a round eye looked carefully from the inside out, and asked, "Who are you? What are you going to do?

"I'm the current demon king fox Ouyang Xiao Leng. Come to Xizhen City to meet your city lord!" Ouyang replied calmly.

The owner of the eye inside was silent for a while, and then disappeared. After a long time, the door was finally pushed open from the inside. The owner of the eye just now appeared in the door with another person. The one who had just talked to them was a short pangolin monster in green. Obviously, he was demonic, and the human body also carried the scales and long nails of the pangolin. Another man in a gray robe is much higher than him in both identity and demonic power. Sure enough, he confirmed this as soon as he opened his mouth.

He said respectfully, "I'm the civet ghost who has been following the city owner, Blue Snake Xizhen! I heard from my subordinates that you are the current demon king fox from Wangcheng. Do you have a certificate?

Ouyang Xiao Leng raised the fox-patterned arm ring on his arm in his direction.

The civet ghost looked carefully, and then bowed deeply and said, "Forgive me and my men for being so offended to you. It's just that no one in the royal city has come to Xizhen for so many years, so I can't help but worry that it will be pretended by others."

Several teenagers put away their demon horses and were welcomed into the city by the civet ghost. Perhaps I just saw the prosperous scene of Dongyao, so the depression in Xizhen City is so obvious. There are only scattered residents on the street. Judging from their clothes, they are also quite poor. Moreover, a city owner in the district does not even have a welcome car, which is really difficult to understand.

Originally, according to the information held by Dong Muya and the description of Ouyang Hongye, Blue Snake Xizhen should be a very capable woman, and the city should also be managed by her, but they felt that this was not the case after seeing it with their own eyes.

"Where is the lord of the city?" Ouyang Xiao Leng asked while looking at the dilapidated houses around him.

"The lord of the city is in good health. No matter how we persuade her, she asserts that she will die soon and build a tomb for herself early."

Speaking of this, the civet ghost's voice was a little choked, and he raised his hand and wiped it back and forth with his sleeve in the corners of his eyes. And the pangolin monster behind also looks sad, and it is not difficult to see their love for the blue snake Xizhen.

After walking forward for a while, they came to the center of Mucheng. The famous towering white oak tree grows here. From the appearance, the tree has the same disease as the trees outside the city. The huge trunks are spotted, and the leaves on the branches have basically withered.

"I noticed the plants around here outside the city..."

Before Ouyang Xiao Leng finished speaking, the civet ghost interrupted him: "Since a few years ago, there has often been acid rain here without warning. Although the city owner has cast spells many times to try to stop it, it has not been successful. The area soon became immacist, and the white oak tree, which symbolized Xizhen City, was also on the verge of death. For a moment, rumors spread, and it was said that it was an ominous omen. The residents of the city, the younger ones who can walk, are gone, leaving only the old, weak and sick. The city owner also fell ill because he couldn't stand the blow of the white oak tree.

Xia Qiu remembered the story Dong Muya said about Xizhen City. The little blue snake survived by climbing the little oak tree. Later, it was centered on it and built its own city. They have been with each other for thousands of years, but they have to face separation. How can it not be sad?

The palace of Blue Snake Xizhen is significantly smaller than that of other city owners, but it is still exquisite. The whole palace is composed of vermilion sandstone, and beautiful reliefs can be seen everywhere, which is indeed a little exotic, which reminds people of the architectural style of those ancient palaces in Southeast Asia.

The size of the palace is not large, with only three courtyards. There are two red frog statues standing in front of the outermost courtyard. They all knelt down on one knee, with their eyes closed and a smile on their faces. Their upper bodies ** and fan-like earlobes hung straight down to their shoulders.

The second floor of the courtyard needs to walk through several steps to enter. There is a square pond on both sides of the aisle. The water in the pond has disappeared. Perhaps because it is contaminated by acid rain, it has been simply released, leaving only two empty pits.

The innermost courtyard is where the blue snake Xizhen lives. Xia Qiu has never seen such a building with so many exquisite carvings, and even the outer windows and gates are full of hollow carvings. It is not difficult to see that this is a palace with feminine characteristics. When he walked to the third floor of the courtyard, the pangolin monster automatically retreated. His identity should not be allowed to enter the inner place. Now only the civet ghost is still accompanied by a few teenagers.

He opened the door where the blue snake Xizhen lived for them. A smell of herbs mixed with exotic incense spread out. The walls and vaults of the palace were murals. Most of the paintings were some sitting gods and Buddhas and flying fairies. These paintings were exaggerated and colorful, with a Baroque style. A red carpet on the ground extends forward, as if guiding those who come, please follow it.

They walked along the long carpet for a while, and a huge golden curtain appeared in front of them. Behind them seemed to be a square couch slightly higher than the ground, and a graceful figure could be faintly seen lying sideways in the curtain.

"City lord, the demon king fox is here!" The civet ghost walked to the curtain and said respectfully.

The figure in the curtain paused for a moment before supporting her to stand up. Judging from her movements, her body was still relatively weak. When the blue snake Xizhen opened the curtain and came out to greet them, several teenagers finally saw the true face of Lushan, the legendary mysterious city owner. She was dressed in a golden satin robe without too much decoration. She was tall and well-proportioned, with a cloud temples straight to her ankles, slightly thin cheeks, and her eyebrows were blue. Although she was sick, it was still difficult to hide her posture.

Without introduction, Blue Snake Xizhen recognized who was the descendant of the demon king fox at a glance. Although the meeting with the first generation of demon king Hu Li has been thousands of years, she still remembers the unique temperament of Li, and the teenager in front of her is very much like the man who once had a divine identity, especially his gray-blue pupils, which are the same as Li's touch.

She bowed deeply to Ouyang Xiao Leng, and then raised her head and gasped, "I don't know if the demon king fox will come to the villain's wooden city. Please forgive me." Then he turned to the civet ghost and ordered, "The civet ghost, please invite the demon king fox and others to sit down, and then prepare some tea!"

"Yes! A few adults, please!"

The civet ghost led several teenagers to several chairs in front of the screen, and the blue snake Xizhen also followed them and sat next to them. All the furniture in this living area was made of mahogany, and it was also decorated with carved decorations.

"Mucheng is far away from the royal city. Why did Lord Demon King Fox come on this trip?" The blue snake Xizhen asked.

"I heard that you have built a tomb for yourself underground in the city?" Ouyang Xiao Leng asked tentatively.

"Yes, to be honest, one of the snakes has always been able to predict his death, and the villain feels that he will die soon. As you can see, since the acid rain hit, the city has also declined. In order not to become a lonely ghost after death, I have to make plans first and repair the tomb.

There is no trace of rumors about the heroism in the tone of the blue snake Xizhen, and there is only one help left.

"I heard that Qingyun, the enemy of the whole demon world, wants to use some substance in your tomb to achieve his unspeakable plan!" Ouyang Xiao Leng said Qingyun's name so directly, which stunned the people next to him.

"Qingyun..." After hearing the name, the blue snake Xizhen also paused for a few seconds before saying, "The little man has never seen this person, and he doesn't understand what the substance you are referring to is."

When saying this, Ling Yu noticed that the blue snake Xizhen's eyes were not as calm as before, but as if he was deliberately hiding something.

Although Ouyang Xiaoleng also felt that the blue snake Xizhen was a little strange, he did not continue to ask about Qingyun, but directly said to her, "Can we go to your tomb to find out?"

At this time, the civet ghost had just brought the tea, and it was not yet time to present it to the people present. The blue snake glanced at the tray in the civet ghost's hand and said, "Please have a cup of hot tea first, and then I will take you there in person!"

Although several teenagers were anxious, they drank their own cups of tea as slowly as possible out of courtesy. When the blue snake Xizhen saw that everyone put down the cup in their hands, she stood up.

The civet ghost quickly took out a cloak from behind the golden curtain just now and put it on her shoulder, and advised, "The ground is shady. You'd better put it on!"

Blue Snake Xizhen nodded to him and walked in front to lead everyone to the catacomb.

Going out of the back door is a courtyard, walking along the road with a small stone Buddha statue standing on both sides. After bypassing a small pond with rare and clear water, after walking for a while, you will arrive at a stone wall full of vines. A huge tree is carved on the stone wall and a gown standing under the tree with the wind. The floating man. She stretched out her hand and drew the shape of a moon in the direction of the 45th degree angle of the top of the tree on the wall.

After a muffled sound, the wall began to slide to the left.
