Hou Yam King Valley

The gray-haired and gray-eyed man walked slowly from far to near to the entrance of the valley with a medicine basket on his back, only to find that a young man with pale blond hair was already waiting for him at the entrance. When he saw the coming man, the young man turned his head with a light smile and walked towards the valley. man

"I heard from your third brother this morning that you will collect herbs in the back mountain today. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I will accompany you to collect herbs."

The gray-haired man nodded lightly with a calm face, and walked into the entrance of the valley first.

Because it was still early and it was still daylight, there were only the chirping of some birds and the humming of some docile and rare animals in the valley.

Going west along the mountain road and passing by the river, the two suddenly saw a god with a handsome face, but the whole body was fur, like a tiger, with horseshoe limbs, and a pair of huge pale golden wings on its back. Chery Beast is lying leisurely by the river drinking spring water.This is the first time Lantiere has seen such a magical and beautiful spirit beast, unconsciously approaching and stroking the soft fur of this auspicious beast cautiously.

Rui Beast with human face and animal body approached Lantiere curiously, rubbing his unique breath.

Linde, who was beside Lantiere, approached with a blank expression, stroking the head of Ruishou and introducing this docile little guy

"This auspicious beast with human face, horse body, leopard print and wings is named Yingzhao. It has a docile personality and likes to be close to people. It was so close to you when it first met you. It seems that it likes it very much. Your Highness."

Lantiere smiled lightly and raised his head, exhaling lightly, breathing in the fresh air in the morning valley

"In Colt's bookstore long ago, I read a book "Shan Hai Jing" from Ning'an about the records of spirit beasts, monsters, and fierce beasts. There are many spirit beasts in it that I am very fond of and curious about. "

Lantiere was halfway through his speech, he paused for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly and continued.

"Especially what I like very much... is the nine-tailed spirit fox. It is obvious that the fox not only has a fur that is as beautiful as snow, but also magically has several nine tails that contain powerful spiritual power behind it. I heard that the cultivation base The tall nine-tailed spirit fox has a pair of beautiful golden eyes, and can transform into beautiful women and handsome men. Linde, have you ever seen such a magical spirit beast?"

Lin De, who was squatting on the ground and carefully picking herbs, not only paused the movements of his hands when he heard the words Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, but there was almost no expression on his face, and a trace of imperceptible pain flashed across his face for a moment, but it was not Not escaping the sharp eyes of Lantiere, the boy raised his lips lightly as if triumphant.

"Although there are many places where Ning'an's aura is abundant, my subordinates have never seen such a beautiful creature. It's a pity..."

Lantiere smiled lightly, squatting down to help Linde pick the herbs with a relaxed face

"Yeah, it's really a pity. I really want to see what that beautiful spirit beast looks like. Is it as graceful as described in the Shan Hai Jing, making people unable to take their eyes off."

Just as the two were seriously picking various herbs, the originally peaceful valley was suddenly broken by an unknown species that knocked down the trees. All kinds of rare birds and animals, the birds were frightened. They fled one after another.

Before I saw anyone, I heard the voice of a vigorous, active young man coming from a distance

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!!"

When they were about to approach Lantiere and Linde, a red ball rolled past them at a speed visible to the naked eye, and smashed hard on the boulder more than [-] meters high on the opposite side. The dust dispersed. A person about seventeen or eighteen years old The red-haired, red-clothed boy crawled out of the stone pile with his face covered in dust, and slapped the dust on his body vigorously.

Because he was close to an unknown danger just now, Linde instinctively protected Lantiere behind him, and when the two of them saw the boy crawling out of the pile of stones, they not only frowned slightly.

When the red-haired and red-clothed boy turned around and saw the person in front of him, he excitedly jumped up and rushed towards Lantiere.

Just when the red-haired boy was still ten centimeters away from Lantiere, a pair of feet kicked the boy's face vigorously, preventing him from approaching.

The boy screamed and fell to the ground. . .

When the young man came to his senses, he quickly followed Lantiere and Linde who had gone far away, and excitedly and happily held Lantierre's left hand

"I thought I was unlucky today, but I didn't expect to be so lucky to meet you again today, do you miss me?"

Lantiere frowned slightly, looked at the disgraced face in front of him, and smiled instead of anger because he was suddenly approaching the funny boy whose footprints were imprinted by Linde's instinct.

"Well, what do I want you to do?"

Hearing Lantiere's instinctively disgusted attitude, the boy not only didn't feel any sadness, but even more happily squeezed Lantiere's hand

"You know what, I'm here because..."

Before the boy finished speaking, there was a deafening roar of a giant beast, and the sound of collision came from far and near.

Before the three of them could react, a tiger-like beast with a pair of big wings suddenly appeared in front of the three of them, with a ferocious face, blue eyes with blue flames, With a ferocious face, he opened his mouth full of fangs and looked at the three of them.The fierce beast suddenly let out a loud roar, and the three of them instinctively covered their ears.

Before Lantier could react, the red-haired boy took his hand and ran quickly in the opposite direction

"This ferocious beast is called Qiongqi, and it likes to eat people the most. Just now, this beast has been chasing me. I'm so annoyed."

Lantiere sighed, let go of the boy's grip on his hand, quickly turned around and used lightning magic, summoned lightning from the sky, and accurately struck Qiongqi's body, but the powerful lightning attack , still failed to hurt Qiongqi with thick fur.

Just when the three of them were about to be chased by Qiongqi to the edge of the cliff, a gust of wind, accompanied by red and blue flames and thunder-attributed magic, quickly attacked Qiongqi who was rushing towards the three of them at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Qi's thick fur was blown open at a speed visible to the naked eye miraculously, and Qiongqi looked down at his left arm, which was bleeding rapidly and profusely, and fell to the ground in pain, just as the red-haired boy was about to raise his sword When chopping at it, Qiongqi suddenly stood up and quickly flew away from the three of them.

Before Qiongqi fled, Lantiyer only saw Qiongqi's ferocious blue eyes looking at him with human-like viciousness and hatred for a moment.

After the three of them relieved their breath and realized, half of the sun in the sky had set.

Linde exhaled, patted the dust on Lantiere's body, picked up the medicine basket on the ground

"It's getting late, Your Highness, we should go back"

Lantiere nodded slightly and was about to leave, but the red-haired boy beside him held his arm and looked at him sadly.

"You're gone, I'm not familiar with people here, what should I do."

Lantierre sighed, took out a bag of money from his pocket and handed it to the boy

"With this money, it is more than enough for you to go to the inn by yourself."

Teenager with a rascal smile

"That won't work. I was chased and killed by that ferocious beast. I'm penniless. Where else do you live? I'll go with you."

Seeing the rogue behavior of the red-haired boy in front of him, Lantiyer turned his head helplessly and looked at the taciturn Linde beside him for advice. Linde nodded knowingly, expressing his acquiescence.

The red-haired boy jumped up happily.

Fairview Villa

Recalling the blue lustrous flame that helped him during the day, Lantiere narrowed his eyes and closed the ancient book in his hand, his eyes were like a cheetah catching prey, waiting for the prey to come to his door.

On the second day, before lunch, the herald from the palace came to Jinxiu Villa to inform everyone that the monarch knew about the arrival of Lantiere and his party, and wanted to do his best to host a banquet in the palace and invite Lantierre and others. Go to the palace to have a banquet with the owner and his wives, concubines and children.

Entering the tall and majestic palace, the black tiled roof stands solemnly on the tens of thousands of square meters of land.

As the waiter slowly walked up the dark red wooden stairs, marble and pure gold appeared in the eyes, luxurious yet solemn golden decorations, Lantiere touched the bright dark red handrail with his fingers, and looked up at the long, hundreds-meter-high At the end of the long staircase, there is a majestic and heroic monarch, woven with bright yellow silk thread, embroidered with a lifelike golden dragon, a unique holy beast in Ning'an.Seeing the person coming, the monarch with a peaceful face stood up, solemnly without losing the unique majesty of the king, and bowed his hands politely to Lantierre

"Your Majesty Ning'an has heard that His Royal Highness looks better than Pan An, and has an extraordinary bearing. More than a year ago, with his outstanding talent, he broke the predicament of defeat in the border city that lasted more than ten years and won a complete victory."

Lantierre returned the salute modestly and waved his hands, then sat down directly opposite the monarch with a light smile

"Your Majesty the Monarch praised you. Lantiyer was just a fledgling, and it was only with the concerted efforts of everyone that he was able to win smoothly."

The monarch admired and looked at the young prince who was only fifteen or sixteen years old in front of him. He won the victory with his outstanding talent, but he would not be proud or conceited.He is also gentle, humble and courteous.

On the big round table carved with exquisite patterns in gold and white, on the left are the concubines and children of the monarch, on the right are the owner of Jinxiu Villa and his relatives and children, and next to the monarch is the Luo who came with Lantiere. Coco and Lynd.

The table is full of all kinds of delicacies that cannot be named, and the rococo is mouthwatering.

Looking around at everyone, he did not see the Third Highness who was poisoned and paralyzed as Ming Ge said.

It was also expected by Lantiyer that the concubine and eldest son who made Ming Ge and Linde hate him were also missing.Lantiere raised frivolous eyebrows, looked at Ming Ge who was sitting a few people away, and Ming Ge nodded knowingly. . .

The monarch smiled lightly, looked at Rococo, who was drooling at all kinds of delicacies beside Lantiere, looked at everyone and said

"It seems that our little guest is already hungry, come here, don't be cautious, let's enjoy the food together"

Knowing his expression, Rococo blushed and lowered his head.

Halfway through the banquet, when everyone was having fun with the delicious food and wine, a heroic voice suddenly reached everyone's ears

"Sorry to bother everyone, Mu Qing is here to punish herself with a drink"

Before everyone saw who was coming, they first saw a delicately carved and flexible brown-red wheelchair being pushed up by a waiter.

Lin De, who ate the dishes silently during the banquet, suddenly stared in horror and guilt, and didn't notice that the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground.

A gentle man in his early thirties, dressed in pure white clothes with green bamboo embroidered on it.At the first glance, I saw Lin De, who had a strange expression and was motionless, and smiled lightly with the joy of reunion after a long absence, and lightly cupped his hands.

"It's been a long time, Mu Yan, but things have been going well lately."

Linde seemed to be awakened from a nightmare, he regained his composure with a pale face, smiled back and said

"It's been a long time, Your Highness. Is your body... much better?"

Mu Qing nodded lightly and said

"Well, it has been much better in recent years, thank you for your concern"

Looking at the reunion of the two friends after a long absence, everyone has different expressions, some are sarcastic, some are watching a good show, or some are worried and sad, all of which can be seen by Lantiere, who taps the table with his chopsticks. . .

After the banquet is over, everyone is in the imperial garden, put down the airs of monarchs and ministers, and chat together like a family, while the female relatives are playing and playing carefree.

Looking at the young man in white who was sitting in a wheelchair with his eyes closed and basking in the sun not far away, Linde fell into deep thought and frowned. . .

It was a rare sunny day, but suddenly, there were dark clouds in the sky, and the sky was instantly as dark as night. Everyone either screamed instinctively in horror, or chanted spells, and raised their swords to look at the large expanse of sky full of evil spirits. .Only Lantiere, who had a confident face, patted the palms of his left and right palms with the black jade flute in his hand, and slightly pursed his lips as if he had caught prey.

Thousands of demons and ferocious beasts suddenly appeared in the sky and in the imperial garden of Ning'an Palace, with hideous faces and deafening roars, scaring all the female relatives to hide in the room.

The leader of all monsters is Qiongqi, the fierce beast that was injured by Lantiere that day.Qiongqi's eyes glowing with blue flames smiled evilly and looked at the owner of Jinxiu Villa in brown clothes below, as friendly as old friends reunited

"I haven't seen you for a long time, why do you still look like this?"

The owner of Jinxiu Villa looked puzzled at Qiongqi in the sky, and said with a puzzled expression

"This is the first time old Qiongqi has seen you, how could he recognize such an evil thing as you?"

Qiongqi suddenly transformed into a Taoist priest, and looked at the unbelievable owner with a stern look

"Such an appearance, can the owner recognize it?"

The owner turned pale, took two steps back and almost fell down, with a look of disbelief, he roared angrily

"Impossible! How could it be you! How could you be the Taoist priest back then?!"

Wearing a purple Taoist robe, Qiongqi had a vicious expression on his face, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips like a devil, and then he couldn't stop laughing triumphantly

"That's right, I randomly arranged a woman for you to fall in love with, but you foolishly killed the woman you loved the most, and with a little coaxing, you came up with the ridiculous idea of ​​wanting to poach her inner alchemy for immortality, really. ...so stupid! Ahahahahahaha..."

While talking, before everyone could react, a lightning-fast figure quickly approached Qiongqi who raised his sword and stabbed triumphantly.

Qiongqi easily dodged the person who attacked him, but it was Lin De who was angry and rushed towards him when he learned the truth

"Beast! For my mother's inner alchemy, you...arranged the monster transformed by Zhenniao and her son to harm my mother. Today I will kill you to pay homage to my mother's spirit in heaven!"

When Linde's second sword qi was pressing towards Qiongqi, a man with blue-gray skin and a pair of black wings behind him blocked Linde's attack

"Not only did we kill your mother together with Mr. Qiongqi, but it was also my mother and I who gave you medicine when you were treating the third prince. Otherwise, how could you think it would be such a coincidence? The third prince was poisoned and paralyzed."

Just before the man with blue-grey skin could react, his head was cut off by a weapon used by someone who didn't know where, and he rolled to the ground. Seeing her son being killed with her own eyes, Zhen Ji looked terrified, screamed in grief and anger, and rushed towards him. She was supposed to be sitting in a wheelchair, but she stood up and killed Ming Qi's Third Highness with the Guqin in her hands. Just as Zhen Ji was madly trying to kill the Third Highness, she was five steps away from him, and her body was instantly tightened by the strings. Reining tightly, Mu Qing tightened the strings, and in the blink of an eye, Zhen Ji had already turned into flying ash.

Just as everyone was fighting fiercely, a blue figure suddenly stood in front of Linde. Before Linde could react, he was covered in blood and fell into Linde's arms. Although he was weak, he still did not forget to care about Linde's safety.

"Second brother... are you okay..."

Lin De looked at Ming Ge who was lying in his arms covered in blood with horror on his face, and was at a loss as he wiped the blood that flowed out of Ming Ge's mouth continuously.

"Ming Ge...Ming Ge...you...don't scare the second brother...Ming Ge..."

Ming Ge, who was shot with a big hole in his chest by Qiongqi who attacked Lin De, was weak but relieved, but the light in his eyes gradually dimmed

"That's good..."

Seeing the person in his arms gradually disappearing, Linde raised his head in grief and roared

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!!"

This is the most beautiful scene Lantier has seen so far. Linde's gray hair turned snow white in an instant, and nine giant and beautiful tails spread out and danced like the most beautiful costumes behind him. . .

Except for Qiongqi, all the monsters present turned into fly ash in an instant.

Everyone was shocked by this scene, and they all stood there petrified, looking at Linde who opened his golden eyes with a murderous face, and rushed towards Qiongqi with his hands turned into claws, with hatred on his face.

Even Qiongqi himself didn't expect that the inner alchemy of the thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox that he had planned to obtain back then was actually in Lin De's body.Back then, it was Linde's mother who sealed Linde's power and her thousand-year inner alchemy in his body in order to protect Linde.

In a desperate battle, Qiongqi, who had the upper hand, was clearly at a disadvantage.

Just when Qiongqi was overwhelmed by Linde, who was using all his strength to transform into a fox, Linde, who was already red-eyed, was blocked by Lantiere's jade flute and stabilized his figure.

Before Qiongqi could react, a huge and complex formation below him controlled his movements.Several black chains emerged from the formation and locked Qiongqi firmly

Lantiere smiled lightly like a hunter catching prey, and patted his palms. At the same time, everyone present formed a circle at the same time, stamped their left hands around the formation, and recited the law loudly together.

"All fighters are in the front line! Break!"

"Qongqi, this is a magic-killing formation tailor-made for you, enjoy it."

With Qiongqi's heart-piercing scream, Qiongqi turned into flying ash in the formation.

The bright sunlight shone warmly on the beautifully carved big bed. A man in white clothes and white hair, with a pair of furry ears on his head, was sleeping peacefully. The man on the bed suddenly sat up from the bed as if awakened from a nightmare. Looking at the unfamiliar room in shock, he stood up forcibly with a pale face, and slowly supported the table to walk towards the door.

Just as the man was walking with difficulty, the door was opened from the outside, and a young man in a blue suit walked into the room with a bright smile on his face.

"Second brother, why are you getting out of bed now, you need to have a good rest before your body recovers."

The white-haired man stared at the pure golden eyes in surprise, looked at the blood-stained man in his arms yesterday in disbelief, and sat on the stool with a happy smile on his face.

The young man in blue smiled lightly and poured a cup of warm tea for the white-haired man, then stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the white-haired man's eyes

"Hey, second brother, how are you doing? You're stuck"

The white-haired man who was replaced as the second brother hugged the man in blue into his arms with excitement, and refused to let go for a long time.

The man in the arms of the white-haired man patted him on the back, comforted him, and then scratched his head

"Second brother, don't worry, I didn't die. His Highness gave me all of Qiongqi's lifespan when he set up the formation, so I was able to survive. A big monster in Qiongqi should have a long lifespan, a thousand years or ten thousand years. Hahaha.."

Surprised, he let go of the man in his arms, and carefully checked whether the man in blue was intact. The white-haired man looked grateful to the light-blond-haired boy who walked into the room with a faint smile.

"Don't thank me first, the most important thing for you now is to have a good rest. Breaking through the seal suddenly is not a joke."

Linde looked at Lantierre gratefully

"Thank you Your Highness for saving my brother, I don't even know how to repay Your Highness."

Lantiere sat down and took a sip of tea, then turned to look at the third prince who walked into the room and moved freely like ordinary people

"I didn't just save your brother, I also cured your best friend, right?"

Mu Qing walked into Lin De with a face full of joy after the catastrophe, and patted Lin De on the shoulder

"Half a month ago, His Highness cured me and told me the truth, so he acted in this play with me, so you don't have to worry about the future."

Linde exhaled lightly in relief, relaxing his emotions.

Lin De suddenly remembered something, and looked at Ming Ge nervously.

"Then... what about father? How is father doing now?"

As soon as the usually arrogant, arrogant and conceited man was mentioned, the atmosphere in the room instantly became heavy, Ming Ge sighed and said

"Father knew that he was bewitched by monsters to kill your mother back then, and he couldn't bear the stimulation... he went crazy... Now he locks himself in his own room in the villa, hugs your mother's clothes tightly every day, and talks crazy all day long... .Actually...he loves your mother the most..."

Lin De knew that his proud father back then had become like this, so he not only frowned and closed his eyes.

Fairview Villa Hall

The family happily sat around the big table and ate together. In order to thank Lantier for helping Linde and the whole Ning'an, everyone kept adding food to Lantier's bowl. The vegetables in Yael's bowl have piled up into a hill.

Rococo and the red-haired boy Rex, sitting next to Lantiere, grabbed a roasted chicken leg like children

"Let go! It's mine!"

"Smelly girl! You're still in good spirits! This is obviously mine!"

Lantiere looked at the two people grabbing chicken legs, sighed, and put the chicken legs in his own bowl into Rococo's bowl.When Rococo saw his favorite chicken drumstick, he happily ate it.

Half a month later, when several people packed up their salutes and were about to leave, Lin De was not there.Rococo looked at the gate of the villa suspiciously

"Why isn't Linde coming?"

Just when Luo Keke was puzzled, Ming Ge and Lin De walked to the gate together, Ming Ge held Lin De's hand with a face of reluctance

"Second brother, do you really want to leave? You are born with a high medical talent, and your father wanted to pass on the title of owner to you since you were a child. Can't you stay?"

Lin De comforted and patted the back of Ming Ge's hand

"In terms of leadership, outstanding judgment, and medical talent, you are the most suitable owner"

The man in white with a folding fan in his hand patted Linde on the shoulder

"It's a long way to go. Be careful along the way. I have prepared a lot of Ning'an's special food, cakes, and Ning'an's various spells and literature books that His Highness likes, as well as objects and gifts that the rococo girl likes. A gift from Your Majesty, Your Highness the Queen"

Ming Ge raised his hand with a bright face

"I have it too! I have prepared a lot of things too"

Lantiyer looked helplessly at the two large bags of goods on the two hills, helpless.

Knowing that there were so many things that Lantiere could not fit in the carriage, Mu Qing smiled and took out an exquisitely carved ring to Lantierre.

"This is a space ring, don't look at it as just a ring, it's enough to fit half a continent inside"

Lantiere took the ring gratefully, facing the two big bags, everything turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the ring in an instant.

"Then thank you, Your Highness."

"Where, Your Highness has done Ning An, Mu Qing, and Mu Yan a great favor. We don't know how to thank you. These things are nothing."

After speaking, Mu Qing looked at Lin De

"From now on, you can change back to your previous name, so your mother will be happy too."

Linde nodded in agreement.

Just as Linde turned to leave, Mu Qing took his hand

"Smile more, come back often to see everyone"

Linde smiled

"Well, fine, I will."

Linde turned around and got on his horse, while the others turned their heads and reluctantly waved goodbye to everyone at the gate of the villa.The carriage left Ning'an slowly.

Not far away, a pair of dark purple eyes disappeared viciously into a dark corner. . .
