Chapter 155 Tengu
"The mandrill takes the tiger as its son?" Qi Jingzhi couldn't help being surprised.

Back then when Senior Mandrill saw the fierce tiger transformed by the tiger monk, he never held back his hands. It can be seen that the fate of relatives, enemies, and fate is really unpredictable and unpredictable. It is not just a human being, but a mountain spirit. The same is true.

The old lame lame man nodded, and said indifferently: "Apes are the most important territorial division. Mandrills take mountains as their home, and those with smaller hearts will kill or drive away the sentient beings in a mountain, just for dominance. There are also some kind-hearted people who regard the beasts in the mountains as their people and take good care of them, and it is not surprising that they recognize a few tigers as adopted sons."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Jingzhi immediately remembered the golden-eyed water scorpion in Xunjiang, who indeed regarded the fish and turtles in the river as his descendants, and after the two sides confirmed what the old man said was true, he nodded silently.

The old Taoist paused for a moment, and then suddenly added: "Monkey brains are the freshest, even better than rat wine. It's a pity that most of the mandrills in Daqi are servants of mountain gods, but they can't be eaten easily."

Qi Jingzhi's face froze when he heard the words, he was really speechless, he only felt that the senior in front of him was so familiar with the world's strange beasts, it was all because of his greed.

Once this thought came to him, he couldn't help but think of Qian Xiaoren who asked everyone for money, and felt that the two had some similarities.

The lame mangy old man naturally didn't know that the boy was slandering in his heart, Shi Shiran stretched out his arms, then turned around, sat down with his back against the wall, and Ban Nu's furry, warm body The body squeezed into one place.

There was a contented expression on his face, his eyelids drooped immediately, and he yawned and said, "Hey, I can't stay up late at night when I'm old, let me be an old man first..."

Unexpectedly, before this sentence was finished, the lame old man suddenly stopped talking, and a pair of old eyes suddenly opened, shining like lightning.

Not seeing how he made a gesture, his body bounced off the ground and flew up into the air. His gray cloth robe was waving in the air, making hunting sounds.

Qi Jingzhi then raised his head in astonishment, and saw that above the vast sky above, the big moon that was originally hanging high in the sky had disappeared behind a thick black cloud at some point, and a red and white aura flew from the northeast direction. The shot came tens of feet long, with a speed like wind, a sound like thunder, and a light like lightning. It passed over this small fishing village in the blink of an eye, and fell towards the southwest.

The flash of light is fleeting, but the bright red and white rainbow still remains in Qi Jingzhi's eyes, it is clearly a huge monster with a body like a white dragon and a head like a red dog!

Its length stretches through the sky, its brilliance lands, and the strong wind that engulfs it blows over people's faces, carrying a strong fishy smell.

"Hey! The old man wants to see today, what the hell is this so-called tengu you are deceiving the world!"

The old man with a lame leprous leapt into the air, let out a loud shout, and suddenly bent down, his hands and feet prostrated on the ground, and he stepped on the air, leaping more than ten feet in the air, chasing the red and white long rainbow. Go southwest.

In a blink of an eye, Changhong and Lao Dao disappeared above everyone's heads, only the sound of wind and thunder roaring faintly from the southwest.

The next moment, the domestic dogs and wild dogs in the fishing village suddenly barked in unison, and even the dogs in the surrounding wilderness echoed in the distance, one after another, for a long time.

Without hesitation, Qi Jingzhi jumped onto the wall and looked towards the southwest, but only saw the flowing clouds in the deep blue sky split by the red and white rainbow.

Whether it was Changhong or Lao Dao, they all disappeared without a trace.

"Tengu..." Qi Jingzhi murmured, with a serious expression on his face.

He once heard Wan'er mention this kind of thing. When the biological father of the poor little girl gouged out her eyes, he tricked her into saying that the sky dog ​​swallowed up the sun, moon and stars. Wan'er, the tengu will turn people into tengu minions, and the tengu minions will dig out the liver and lungs of living people, mix them with blood and feed them to the tengu.

Originally Qi Jingzhi didn't believe it, he only said that Tiangou and Tiangou's minion Yunyun were fabricated to deceive the little girl, but he didn't expect to see it with his own eyes today.

Although the old man with a lame leprous seems to think that it is not a tengu, but some kind of ghost to deceive the world, but whether it is or not, the size and momentum of that thing are the only ones that Qi Jingzhi has seen in his life.

While he was having thoughts, Geshu Dashi also jumped onto the wall, and he did not forget to reach out and pull Wei Bao up.

The two stood beside Qi Jingzhi and watched for a while, Ge Shu Dashi shook his head helplessly: "I can't see it, either it flew far away, or it has already landed on the ground."

Wei Bao looked at Geshu Dashi suddenly, with horror still remaining on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "That thing is clearly heading for Jiuzhen County City! My whole family is in the city. Your Marquis Anfeng The mansion is also there, we have to hurry back!"

After finishing speaking, the tall and thin young man turned around and jumped off the wall.

Geshu Dashi followed closely behind, and as soon as it landed, he grabbed the one horn on the bamboo ox's head and lifted it vigorously, pulling it up from the ground.

The two men rode on the back of the bull, and Qi Jingzhi also flew down and stepped onto the restless Ban Nu.

Ge Shu Dashi and Wei Bao turned their heads to look together, and saw the young swordsman smiling at them: "Let's go together!"

Immediately, the three of them shouted and galloped past the fragrant cauldron that was simmering slowly.

In a hurry, Qi Jingzhi glanced slightly sideways, and sighed softly, not without regret: "Zhu Yihou's mountain jellyfish meat, the five furnaces of incense from the Dragon Mother's banquet, and the shakes created by the monk and cooked by the Taoist priest." Niutou, I really have no luck..."

He shook his head and suppressed his thoughts, and cast his eyes forward, only to feel that there seemed to be a huge beast lurking in the deep wilderness, watching him silently, secretly showing its sharp fangs.

I don't know how long it took, when the sky was dim, Qi Jingzhi finally saw the outline of a black and steep city.

There is no need to wait for the city gate to open, because the city gate in front of the three of them has already turned into scorched wood, and even the wall bricks inside and outside the city gate are covered with scorched marks from the fire, which is shocking to look at.

There were no pedestrians coming and going at the gate of the city. Dozens of well-dressed soldiers set up their horses to block the gate, and even the walls were lined with archers.

When the soldiers saw Bannu and Zhuniu who were obviously not good stubbles from a distance, they immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and the sound of drawing their swords kept coming and going.

"These are not ordinary gatekeepers, but the elite under the command of the county army. Judging from the number of people, there should be a team of 50 people."

Seeing this battle, Wei Bao, the head of the post, immediately jumped off the suddenly decelerating bamboo ox, ran towards the city gate with his hands open, and shouted loudly: "I am Wei from the Golden Sword Wei family. Leopard, I wonder which adult is in front of you?"

The gatekeepers were obviously relieved when they saw the tattered red robe and leather armor on his body. Among them, a man with a distinctive armor came out and took a closer look at Wei Bao's appearance. So relieved: "So it's you! Entering the city so early, but there is an urgent document to submit?"

The man clearly recognized Wei Bao, and while asking, he cast his eyes on the two riders behind him, and his eyes tightened again.

Wei Bao bowed to the other party: "I have seen Captain Gu. I was outside the city last night. I saw a vision in the sky. I was afraid that something would happen at home, so I came back in a hurry."

As he spoke, he pointed behind him: "That brother with purple beard and blue eyes is from the residence of Marquis Anfeng. Even if you haven't seen it, you should have heard of it. As for this...he is a distinguished guest of my Wei family."

"VIP?"

Gu Duizheng glanced at Ge Shu Dashi's face and stopped paying attention, but carefully scrutinized Qi Jingzhi.

After a long while, he shook his head and said, "Wei Bao, it's not that I don't give you the face of the Wei family, it's because today's situation is special and people in the city are in panic, brothers don't dare to let everyone in."

He pointed the tip of the knife at Bannu's four claws: "If you really want to enter, people can, but this mount can't! Don't say that Wei Gong is not in the county now, but he is an old man. If there is any trouble, your family is stacked I can't afford to take a piece of it!"

Wei Bao immediately showed embarrassment when he heard the words, hesitated for a while before opening his mouth again, and saw Qi Jingzhi riding up to him on Bannu, reaching into his arms while walking.

Seeing this, Wei Bao immediately closed his mouth.
