It snowed in Shundu for a whole day and two nights. The snow was more than a foot thick, covering the entire town heavily.

The branches of the trees were weighed down by the snow and drooped down, making them look like a dying old man with his waist hunched over.

Although the snow has stopped, the weather has not improved. There are still layers of dark clouds in the sky, and it seems that there will be another blizzard at any time.

In Hu Tao's view, what was more gloomy and terrifying than the sky was Di Ji's face. Even Lin Huai, who had always been indifferent, didn't dare to approach Di Ji anymore.

The night Huajiao disappeared, Diji opened his spiritual consciousness and searched everywhere for her whereabouts, but unfortunately, he could not find her. Yelan turned into mist and dispersed between heaven and earth, but Huajiao's figure was never found.

Hu Tao and Lin Huai secretly guessed that the demon that possessed Zhou Ling that day might be Que Sheng, and he was the only one who could kidnap people without leaving a trace.

Lin Huai asked Hu Tao: "Quesheng's demon power has greatly increased since his nirvana. God Nuwa even gave him a feather with divine power. Do you think he can beat our Lord?"

Hu Tao sighed worriedly: "Do you think our Lord has a chance of winning with Lady Jiang in Que Sheng's hands?"

Lin Huai shook his head: "That must be none."

At this moment, Di Ji didn't know that the two demons were talking about him. All his thoughts were on the mountain in front of him.

Huaiyin Mountain is where the Puyi people live in seclusion.

The setting sun is like blood, and its last rays of light shine on the white snow on the top of the mountain. There is still some greenery halfway up the mountainside, and further down, the red rock and soil has fallen into the shadow of twilight.

Lin Huai asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, is the news from Qinyuan really located here?"

Although Qin Yuan was one of the six divine generals, when he was in Yunxu, he had been lurking among the demons in the north all year round. When she returned to the human world, Di Ji immediately sent her to the Bird Clan. Que Sheng is a golden phoenix, and most of the demons under his command are bird demons, except for snakes and Wu Zhi Qi.

After Di Ji and Ye Lan failed to find Huajiao this time, they could only pin their hopes on Qin Yuan. Today, Qin Yuan sent a message saying that she found out from a harpy that an eared rat was looking for Jian Mu Yuan.

Diji thought of Qianjie at that time.

"This news must have come from Lady Jiang's sect Qianjie. The original location of our Yunxu Jianmu in the human world is Huaiyin Mountain. Moreover, the Puyi tribe once lived here in seclusion. This is no coincidence." Hutao said.

There is no distinction between day and night in the cave. When Huajiao woke up, the red sun transformed by Que Sheng was still hanging on the ceiling of the cave, making it impossible for her to tell how long she had been asleep.

Qianjie has returned. After she was captured by Que Sheng, the reason why she did not use Qianjie and Pipa was so that they could come in handy at the critical moment.

But Qianjie is Pipa's weapon spirit and cannot leave Pipa's original body too far. Just now, while Que Sheng was leaving, he sneaked out for a while. He didn't know if Di Ji and the others could receive the news.

Huajiao moved her arm, and the chain on her wrist jingled. Fortunately, the chain was long enough to allow her to move freely in the cave. She felt the pain in her blood subsided a little, got up and left the bed, searching for an escape route in the cave.

A huge bronze mirror is inlaid on the stone wall carved with mountains and rivers.

When Huajiao passed by, he saw what he looked like.

The clothes that Guiche brought her were pure white, enveloping her like mist in the mountains. She walked in front of the mirror, her white clothes were elegant, and she looked like a fairy at first glance.

However, when he saw her appearance clearly, he was inevitably shocked.

The toxicity of the poison beads first erodes from the blood, and then gradually spreads to the skin.

Hua Jiao's face was originally fair and translucent, but now it had a faint pale color. Especially on her neck, there were faint black veins. It can be imagined that her blood was probably black at this time.

This look doesn't look like a fairy, it's clearly a ghost.

Huajiao walked around the screen and walked forward along the corridor. When he approached the entrance of the cave, the chain had been stretched out and he could no longer move forward. Que Sheng cast a spell on the chain. She was now poisoned and could not break free for a while.

Huajiao knew that there must be a demon guarding outside, so he shouted outside: "Here comes someone!"

The two little demons guarding the entrance of the cave heard the sound, walked in and asked, "What's the fuss about?"

Huajiao frowned and said, "Didn't your lord give me food before he left? If I starve to death, can you afford it?"

The two demons looked at each other and said, "Wait a moment, we will have someone bring you food."

Huajiao's eyes wandered and he chuckled: "Remember to ask Manniang to come over. I can only trust her. I don't want any gifts from other demons."

After a while, Mannia walked in slowly carrying a food box.

Huajiao is lying sideways on the step bed, leaning on his right hand, looking lazy and leisurely.

When Mannia saw her look, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes. She raised her chin and asked, "Why are you a prisoner lying on our Lord's bed and rolling down?"

Huajiao smiled sweetly and said: "Quesheng allowed this. He specifically told me to have a good rest. If you are so dissatisfied with this, what will you do in the future?"

"What future?"

"Didn't he say before the ground gap that he wanted me to stay with him forever and be his..." Hua Jiao sat up and looked at Mannia's burning eyes, Man Sheng said, " He wants me to be his wife."

Mannia sneered and said, "You're talking nonsense."

The painting corner turned the half of his face without black blood streaks towards Mannia, raised his eyelashes slightly, and said with a smile: "Didn't you hear everything?"

Huajiao opened the food box, picked up a piece of pastry, and asked, "You won't poison me, right? Oh, I'm already a poisonous person now, why should I be afraid of other poisons." As he said that, the pastry in his hand rolled to the ground. , Huajiao curled up on the bed and said in a trembling voice, "It hurts me so much."

Mannia sneered, stepped forward and kicked the corner of the painting, and said: "You deserve it. The Lord is just using you. After detoxifying you, he will drain your blood and throw you into the ground, so that you will die miserably." .”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "zheng" sound from the piano.

Mannia looked at the corner of the painting in surprise, and saw her smiling softly, taking off the Pipa hairpin from her bun, and glanced at her, with no trace of fatigue in her eyes.

An eared rat flew in front of Huajiao and landed on her shoulder.

The pipa grew louder in an instant, and the horn raised her hand to pluck the strings. The soft and sweet music entered her ears. Mannia only felt a buzz in her head. For a moment, she lost all thoughts and allowed the music to control her mind.

She stepped forward involuntarily and unlocked the spell on Huajiao's chain.

When she came to her senses, the painting corner had disappeared.

Huajiao left Que Sheng's cave. Under the guidance of Qianjie, he turned around along the underground corridor and soon reached the exit. However, there is a barrier at the exit.

Qianjie said: "The barrier here was set up by Que Sheng. With your current poisoned body, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out. Now you can only hide and wait for someone to come in and out, and take the opportunity to break out."

Huajiao nodded. I don't know how long it had passed, but I saw the surrounding barrier turbulent and someone coming over.

Before I knew it, the article was almost finished. Thank you for your company, I wish you a happy New Year and all the best!
