Chapter 26 Siege
We got out of town without incident, but my senses told me that something bad was bound to happen after this extraordinary success.

Sure enough, as soon as we turned to the mountain road, Bai Yu stopped.

"What's the matter? The thousand-faced fox..." I was just about to ask if the thousand-faced fox was chasing after me, when I felt a chill on the back of my neck.

Bai Yu yelled "Not good!" With a flip of his right hand, I was stuck to the mountain wall.

We had just stuck on the mountain wall, only to hear a loud bang, and several boulders had rolled down the cliff from beside us.

I looked at everything in front of me in horror, and didn't come back to my senses for a long time, until Bai Yu's soft voice rang in my ears: "Miss Ruoshui, are you okay?" He looked up at the top of the mountain and asked.

I took a deep breath and mechanically shook my head, "It seems that the thousand-faced fox is really going to kill us!" I said in frustration.

Bai Yu said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid, our enemy is not limited to the thousand-faced fox."

"What do you mean?" I asked in surprise.

He frowned slightly.He pondered and said: "With the skill of the thousand-faced fox, there is no need to use such indecent methods to deal with us. Could it be him?"

"Who is it?" I heard there was something in his words, and asked.

He smiled lightly and said: "It seems that our whereabouts have been discovered. Xia originally planned to take the girl to the Zhongnan Valley to avoid the limelight, but now it seems that it is impossible."

"Then what should we do?" My heart sank, thinking that a thousand-faced fox would be enough to kill me, and now that I have her accomplices, wouldn't I be dead?

He glanced at the top of the mountain, and whispered: "Don't talk, come with me." After that, he pulled me close to the mountain road and returned along the original road.

After walking for less than half an hour, Bai Yu probably felt that he had reached a safe place, so he let me go.

I looked around, and turned back to the forest that I had walked through before. I was puzzled and said, "Why are we back again?"

Bai Yu said lightly: "The most dangerous place is the safest place."

"Ah!" I suddenly realized, "You are trying to make a fuss!"

He nodded and said, "There are at least two forces chasing us now, and one of them is coming for me."

For him? "Who are you..." I just asked, when Bai Yu waved her hand and told me to keep quiet.

I looked at him anxiously, and looked around in surprise.

At this moment, the forest suddenly became dark, and then bursts of black mist floated around.The black mist was pungent and unpleasant, and I almost choked.

"Cover your mouth and nose!" Bai Yu yelled.

Just as I was about to raise my hand, my feet suddenly went limp, and I collapsed to the ground in an instant, unable to stand up again.Frightened in my heart, I hurriedly raised my head to look for Bai Yu.However, the forest was full of black mist, and it was impossible to see anything clearly.

At this time, only Bai Yu's clear voice came from the left: "Miss Ruoshui, where are you?"

I tried to open my mouth, but my throat seemed to be blocked by something, and I couldn't make a sound.

what to do?I tried it several times with all my strength, but it still didn't work.

At this time, Bai Yu's voice was getting farther and farther away from me, and after a while I couldn't hear it.I was anxious, he couldn't see with his eyes, now the enemy is unknown, so what should happen?
I was worried and tried to struggle a few times, but finally had no choice but to give up.

Just when I was at a loss, I suddenly felt that my shoulders sank, and I was picked up by something.I was startled and wanted to resist with all my strength, but I couldn't do what I wanted. After struggling a few times, I lost my strength.

The person who caught me was as fast as lightning, and after only a few ups and downs, we were out of the forest.I was lying on my back, I couldn't see the face of that person clearly at all, when I looked up, the forest was already out of sight.

I don't know how long I have been away, but I feel my body is getting colder and colder. I looked up and was surprised.I saw that the place was very desolate, with dead grass everywhere.There are graves everywhere in the withered grass, some of which have collapsed long ago, exposing the bodies of the dead, and a few crows are lying on them and pecking at the carrion.

Seeing this situation, I almost vomited with soreness in my stomach.Suddenly, the person who grabbed me stopped, breathing heavily, as if listening to something.After listening for a long time, I probably felt that there was nothing unusual, so I took another step forward and flew forward.

I was caught and flew by it like this, and my body was already stiff, but I couldn't move, so I had to endure it.Finally, the guy stopped, just heard a squeak, and we came to a dilapidated Taoist temple.

The house in this Taoist temple is magnificent, but the path is full of weeds, which should have been abandoned for a long time.That guy walked straight into the hall, looked around, then let go of his hand, and threw me beside the altar.

Is this scene so familiar?My heart shuddered, could it be that the one who caught me was the thousand-faced fox?I crawled on the ground and looked up, and there was no one else but her.

Seeing my pale face and frowning, Qianmianhu sized me up for a while with a half-smile, and said, "Shui Lingzhu, did you expect it to be me? I told you a long time ago that you can't escape from my palm. "Said with a sigh, and said: "But, you just don't believe it."

I groaned a few times, wanting to speak, but couldn't.

The thousand-faced fox laughed and said, "Oh, my poor little one. I forgot, you've been poisoned by miasma and can't speak." She smacked her lips, "Don't look at me with such resentful eyes, you Don't worry, as long as you are obedient and obedient, if I soften my heart, I might be able to detoxify you."

Stinky fox, I don't beg you.I glared at her fiercely, turned my head and ignored her.She didn't care, and said a lot of annoying things in my ear, that's all.

The sky was getting dark gradually, and the hall was getting colder and colder. I didn't wear much, and my teeth were chattering from the cold, but I still couldn't move.

I looked at the sky and didn't know how Bai Yu was doing.

Suddenly, there was a sound of jingling bells outside the hall, it sounded like someone was knocking.The thousand-faced fox turned his head slightly, followed by a flash of white light, and the person had already arrived outside the hall.

"Who is it? Come out to my old lady, or don't blame me for being rude!" Qianmianhu yelled in the yard.

However, after a long time, there was no sound other than the sound of the wind.The thousand-faced fox vigilantly circled around the courtyard, waiting to turn around.Suddenly, the sound of jingling bells rang again.

The thousand-faced fox was furious, flipped and pulled his hands, and instantly two sharp lights shot out to the east and west.As soon as Qianmianhu made a move, a long laugh came from the sky.Then there were only a few buzzing sounds, and a big copper bell with a height of seven to eight feet slanted towards Qianmianhu.

The big bell came so fast that Qianmianhu's clothes were shaken up.Seeing that the situation was not good, Qianmianhu hurriedly got down, followed by Huhu and struck out two palms, only heard a loud bang, and the bell had already landed in the courtyard.

Looking away again, I saw a person standing on the clock.The man was wearing black armor, his eyes were blood red, his lips were black and purple, and he was holding a small copper bell in his hand, he was very scary to look at.

"Black Bat, it's you! What are you doing here?" Thousand-faced fox said viciously.

The black bat said in a deep voice: "Thousand-faced fox, if you find the water spirit orb without notifying me, do you want to take credit for yourself in front of the devil?"

"Bah! Are you qualified to intervene in the matter of the Water Spirit Orb? Let me tell you, the Water Spirit Orb is mine, and no one can take it away." Qianmianhu sternly said.

The black bat snorted coldly and said: "Smelly bitch, don't be shameless. Hand over the water spirit orb, or I will make you look good."

"Haha..." Qianmianhu looked up to the sky with a long smile, and said disdainfully: "It's up to you? Why is it not enough to be the head of the country, do you still want to be Ji Wuxie's dog? Tell you, the water spirit beads can only be made by me personally Dedicated to the Demon Lord, there is no way you want to take credit for it!"

Is it Ji Wuxie again?Listening to Qian Mianhu's tone, it seems that he has a deep problem with this kind of innocence.I looked down and thought.

"So you don't pay?" the black bat shouted.

Qianmianhu ignored him and turned around to protect the palace gate.Judging by this posture, the two are bound to fight.I saw the black bat throwing the bell into the air, and with a light swipe of the finger, the palm of the hand was immediately broken.Then, there was a fluttering sound from the southeast, and in a blink of an eye, thousands of bats came smelling the blood, covering the entire palace in an instant.

Damn, when I saw those bats with red eyes and white teeth showing, three souls went to two and a half souls.I thought, I will definitely be sucked into a mummy today.

"I'll give you one last chance to hand over the Water Spirit Orb!" the black bat snapped.

"Don't even think about it!" Qianmianhu said decisively.

"Okay! Then die!" As he said, the black bat raised his hand, and the bell rang extremely piercingly, and he yelled "Go!" In an instant, the group of bats came towards the thousand-faced fox.

Qianmianhu took a step back, flicked his sleeves, and saw hundreds of white lights shooting towards the group of bats.After hearing a few screams, hundreds of bats have been attacked and landed on the steps one after another.

Now I can breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that Qianmianhu alone is more than enough to deal with this group of bloodthirsty monsters.However, it seems that I was happy too early.The bell rang a few more times, and the fallen bats flew up again, circled around the thousand-faced fox, and flew towards the hall with flapping wings.

The thousand-faced fox stretched out its paws to resist fiercely, but as the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands, let alone fighting thousands of bloodthirsty bats now.As a result, those bats still rushed forward and entered the hall.

In an instant, I only felt that my eyes went dark, and even my breathing became short of breath. "Ah, ah!" I tried my best to call for help, but I couldn't speak, I could only yell a few times.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed in front of me. The man swung his long sword again and again, and the hundreds of bats immediately became timid. They only chirped in the air, not daring to approach.

"Are you okay? Miss Ruoshui!" The person who came to save me was Bai Yu.

"Ah, ah!" I yelled a few times as a response.

At this time, the outside of the hall was already in a mess, and then several bells rang outside, the bats in the hall stopped circling, opened their bloody mouths, and forced towards Bai Yu.

Bai Yu was lonely and invisible, so he had to listen carefully to the movement after cutting a few swords.Seeing this situation, I was so anxious that I was about to die, but I could only scream a few times, ah, ah.

After a while, there were more and more bats in the temple, and they were about to overwhelm them.Bai Yu threw the long sword, raised his hand and recited the formula, and yelled "Here!" Countless cold lights swished and swished at the group of monsters.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Yu leaned over and picked me up, and hurriedly rushed out of the hall.The thousand-faced fox was fighting with the black bat, when it saw Bai Yu lead me out, it gave a loud shout, and grabbed it with its palm.

Bai Yu dodged sideways, dodging her palm.The thousand-faced fox was not willing to give up, swung his arms, and waved two long silks, trying to wrap us up.Bai Yu jumped with both feet, flew up more than ten feet, and took advantage of the momentum to step on the long silk.

At this time, the black bat rang the bell, and the bat attacked us again.The thousand-faced fox became furious, turned around and rushed to attack the black bat, trying to snatch its copper bell.

Seeing more and more bats in the sky, I turned my head anxiously to Bai Yu and yelled to give him an early warning.

He knew it was not good, so he hurriedly put me down, reached into his arms and took out something, then threw it into the air.I saw a few sparks coming out, and several bats were scorched.

Qianmianhu got the reminder, and tried to ignite the two long silks, and threw them into the air.Those bats are really afraid of fire, hundreds of them have died everywhere.

One spreads to ten, ten spreads to a hundred, as the wind gets stronger, so does the fire, so in a short while, Bai Yu and Qianmianhu have wiped out more than half of the thousands of bats.

Seeing this, the black bat screamed anxiously.Taking advantage of his distraction, Qianmianhu snatched his copper bell with a backhand hook, and with a light pinch, the copper bell was turned into powder.

Most of the black bat's favorite thing was burned and he had no desire to fight, so he let out a long cry and disappeared.

I saw the group of scary monsters flying away, and I was relieved immediately.

Seeing the black bat leaving, Bai Yu was stunned for a while, with a very strange expression on his face.But in this short moment, the thousand-faced fox sneaked in, and with a flick of the long silk, I was already caught in her hands.

"What exactly do you want? Let her go!" Bai Yu shouted.

Qianmianhu sized Bai Yu up, suddenly laughed and said: "Boy, you have deceived me so hard. I really can't see that you are blind."

Bai Yu said lightly: "A blind man is enough to deal with you."

"Really?" Qianmianhu clenched his hands, and I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder, and I couldn't help but yelled out "Ah!".

"Stop!" Bai Yu said anxiously, "You let her go, how about I change her?"

"You?" Qianmianhu raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry, you still can't escape from my grasp. However, I don't want to kill you yet. How about this, how about we make a deal?"

What Qian Mianhu said was definitely not a good thing, I yelled at Bai Yu a few times, telling him not to agree.

He looked in the direction of my voice and said, "Okay, I agree. What deal?"

"As long as you take me to the palace, I will consider letting her go." Qian Mianhu said.

I was slightly taken aback when I heard that, what does Qianmianhu want the Qiankun brush for?Isn't the Qiankun pen a personal possession of the emperor Ji Shaofan?How could Bai Yu get it.

"Your Majesty, how can a commoner have the qualifications to take you to the palace?" Bai Yu said, "Your Excellency, please stop joking."

Qianmianhu laughed grimly after hearing this, "You can fool this stinky girl, but you can't fool my old lady. Feel your waist to see if something is missing?"

Bai Yu stretched out her hand to touch her waist, slightly startled.

"How is it? Is there something very important missing? Look, it's here." As he spoke, there was a crystal green jade pendant in his hand.

Bai Yu didn't panic at all, and said with a smile: "Since you like it, you can take it. However, you can agree to it, but you must agree to one condition."

"What conditions?" Thousand-faced fox said coldly.

"Miss Ruoshui has been poisoned by miasma, as long as you detoxify her, I will promise to take you into the palace, how about it?"

"Okay! If you dare to break your promise, I guarantee that her life will be worse than death!" After finishing speaking, she gave me a vicious look.

Qianmianhu worked hard to detoxify me so that Bai Yu could lead her to get the Qiankun Pen, and then she tied me with a rope to restrain Bai Yu.

"Hey, why did you agree to this stinky fox? After she gets the Qiankun pen, she will definitely not let us go." I glanced sideways at the thousand-faced fox walking in front, and said in a low voice.

Bai Yu said lightly: "I know."

"Know?" I asked puzzled, "Then you still agree?"

"You have been poisoned by the millennium miasma, and no one can cure it except her." Bai Yu said.

Speaking of poisoning, I suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, the forest is so dark, how did you escape from it? And were you injured?"

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "I held my breath in time, so I wasn't hurt. Besides, I'm blind, it doesn't matter to me whether there is light or not."

"So how did you find me?" I asked.

He smiled lightly and said, "It's the taste."

"Smell?" I was taken aback, and quickly sniffed, "What's the smell?"

"It's not your smell, it's hers." He pointed at the thousand-faced fox, "I smelled the smell of the thousand-faced fox when I came out of the woods, so I searched for the smell and followed."

It turned out to be so simple!I smiled embarrassedly, thinking that your nose is better than barking.

"Then you really want to take her to the palace?" I pouted at Thousand Faced Fox.

"Why not?" Bai Yu said meaningfully.

I looked at him suspiciously and said nothing.

When we entered the city, it was completely dark, but the streets were full of people coming and going, very lively.I looked here and there, caught a glimpse, and suddenly saw a big meat bun, and then I couldn't walk.

"Sister Fox, we've been walking for so long, aren't you hungry? How about, let's stop and eat something!"

"Don't talk nonsense! Let's go!" Qianmianhu frowned, and tugged on the rope. I staggered and had no choice but to leave the bun stall.

Stinky fox, big villain, impersonal.I stared fiercely at the back of the thousand-faced fox, and cursed in my heart.

Suddenly, I smelled a smell of meat, I turned my head and saw Bai Yu walking over with a paper bag.

"I bought steamed stuffed buns, try to see if they taste good!" He said and handed me a hot, chubby steamed stuffed bun.

I took a bite and said with a smile, "Great!"

Bai Yu asked strangely: "Like it? What do you mean?"

I smiled and said, "It means it's delicious. This is my native dialect, haha..."

Bai Yu shook his head with a smile, and gave the remaining buns to Qianmianhu.Unexpectedly, the thousand-faced fox snorted coldly and ignored it.

"She is a big villain, why are you so nice to her." I glanced at Qianmianhu and said.

Bai Yu sighed and said: "The Buddha said that all things have good nature. The thousand-faced fox is just too obsessed. I believe that her nature is not bad."

"You're just too tolerant of people!" I disagreed.

Bai Yu smiled lightly and didn't say anything else.

When we arrived at the gate of the palace, we were quickly stopped by the guards.Bai Yu took out the badge, and the guard looked at Bai Yu in the light of the fire, was surprised, immediately returned the badge to Bai Yu respectfully, and let us in.

I looked at Bai Yu suspiciously, could it be that he really has something to do with the Emperor?But at this time, it is inconvenient to ask in detail, so I have to give up.

We walked through a very long corridor, and then walked around several corridors and soon came to a huge garden.

At this time, it was hot summer, and a hundred flowers bloomed in the garden, competing for splendor.We walked around a flowerbed and walked onto a pontoon bridge. Opposite the pontoon bridge was a spacious open space, and on the open space was a warm pavilion.

"Boy, what tricks are you playing? What kind of place is this!" Qianmianhu gave Bai Yu a sideways look and said viciously.

Bai Yu said calmly, "Aren't you looking for the Qiankun pen? It's here."

"The Qiankun pen is so good at such a place, who are you lying to?"

"Have you never heard that the most inconspicuous place is often the most important place?" Bai Yu said lightly.

Qianmianhu glanced at the open space in disbelief, and said in a deep voice, "You go first. I advise you not to play tricks with me, or she will die." As I said that, I pulled the rope, and I fell over .

Bai Yu reached out to support me, and said in a low voice, "Follow me closely." After speaking, he turned and walked towards the open space.

I glanced at the thousand-faced fox, and followed closely behind.
