Chapter 509: Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons
In addition to the frequent ejection of white air, the entire lake is like a pool of stagnant water. When a small boat passes by, the ripples caused by the water appear extremely reluctant, slowly and stagnant, without making any sound.
Mu Xingqiu reached out to touch one of the fleas' horns without any sense. After the light ball entered, the fleas did not change or react. It seemed that it did not notice this at all. Instead, it raised its head to lick Mu Xingqiu's palm.
Mu Xingqiu gently stroked the flea's slightly cool neck, recalling the light ball, and saw Zuo Liuying's style from it. This was the trick the first person in the Ban Secret Department liked, but I didn't know whether to protect him and the flea this time or have other plans.
The boat moved forward silently. Mu Xingqiu suddenly raised his head and found that the demon clan whose bow was pierced by a wooden pillar was turning his head to look at him, his neck was almost completely turned. Living people could not do this, and living monsters could not, but the monster not only turned his head, but also blinked his eyes, staring at the guest with a cold look.
Mu Xingqiu lowered his arm, moved away, and found that the monster was staring at the flea's horn, as if he had discovered something.
The monster was very thin, wearing a light gray robe, with complex patterns embroidered on the collar and collar. The sharp wooden pillars pierced from the left shoulder, with almost no blood. His arms were drooping weakly, and the half of his palm exposed outside his sleeves was pale and slender like a girl, but his appearance was definitely a male monster, with a faint beard on his lips, his lips slightly opened, his narrow and straight nose like a bird's beak, and his eyes were very close.
Mu Xingqiu asked the flea to move aside two steps and moved in front of it by himself. The flea was too high and had to lower his head to hide one horn behind Mu Xingqiu, but the other could only be exposed.
This is enough. The demon's eyes lost their target and slowly turned back. The joints of the body made a giggle, like a disrepaired door turning.
Mu Xingqiu stood in front of the fleas until the boat landed, and the poisonous fog dissipated here, cleaner than in the valley on the other side, and even the unclean air was thin.
The Ice City rose from the ground on the shore, and it did not occupy a large area, but it was extremely tall. The outer wall was fifty feet high. It is said that this was just built. It turned out to be about half the height now, and the palaces in the city were even taller. It was like a thick pillar piercing the sky.
The city walls and palaces are both light white, and they look a bit like thousands of years of ice from a distance. You can find that these are all white stones, perhaps made of white bone powder everywhere on the shore and on the lake.
The pier is very small and is built under the city wall. It seems that Ice City has never intended to accept too many visitors, and it is impossible for the seven or eight hundred demons on the other side to attack.
Tao Tong couldn't do it either. Mu Xingqiu's heart moved and began to wonder if the light ball was sent by Zuo Liuying. Maybe it was Tao Tong taking the opportunity to attack the Ice City.
The boat stopped, and Mu Xingqiu had no time to think about it. There were more than a dozen gray piranhas standing on the pier. The common feature was that they were all very thin. They held their shoulders and seemed to be standing sideways forever. Instead of receiving visitors immediately, they took down the demon on the bow of the ship, revealing the blood-red wooden pillar. It had pierced countless sons of the Virgin, and the color was dark and dark.
The pierced demon was indeed dead, lying on the white dock without moving. Other demons chanted something around the corpse.
Mu Xingqiu stood on the boat, watching the scene silently, and did not rush to walk up.
The demons took action together and pushed the dead demon into the lake. The waves on the water surface were extremely small and quickly melted the corpse. When only the head was left, the dead demon's eyes suddenly moved and looked at the boat for the last time.
A demon clan with gray hair turned to the visitor, "You have bad intentions."
"I am a Taoist priest." Mu Xingqiu shrugged his shoulders casually, "All Taoist priests want to conquer the Ice City. To be honest, I have this idea too."
The demons on the dock seemed not satisfied with this answer, and still did not invite guests to the shore, but gathered together to whisper. They had the same figure, were wearing the same gray robe, and even looked similar, but they were old and young, and they looked like they were at different stages of the same monster.
After a long time, a young demon ran to the city, and the oldest demon said to Mu Xingqiu: "Wait for here, you are not allowed to go ashore."
"I'm here to meet Lan Bingku, just let her come out."
The old demon didn't say anything.
Mu Xingqiu raised his head and found that many demons' heads were exposed on the towering city walls, and they were staring at him curiously, "Ice City rarely receives Taoist priests, right?"
"At least in the past ten thousand years, you were the first one, and there is no record of what happened further forward." The old demon seemed very proud. "Even you are not considered entering the Ice City, because you have not yet arrived. Warn you not to act rashly. If you are not sure to defeat you, we will not let you pass through the Holy Son Lake."
"Is it because the Holy Son Lake is buried in this lake with many descendants of the Holy Mother?"
"It has nothing to do with you." The old demon said coldly.
After being worshipped by the demons on the other side of the shore as "demon kings", the attitude of the demon clan in the Ice City can be said to have plummeted.
Mu Xingqiu looked up again. Many demon clans on the city wall were obviously mostly guests here. You can tell that they were from different tribes based on their appearance.
After a long time, the descendants of the Virgin Mary gathered more and more, and finally reached hundreds, filling the small pier. Among them, there were even more than a dozen banshees with belts and no beards on their lips. In addition, they were almost no different from their brothers, uncles and nephews. They were all very thin. At the same pier, they could only accommodate fifty or sixty ordinary demons.
Both sides did not speak, the lake surface was as stable as a mirror, and it was not difficult for Mu Xingqiu to stand on the boat.
At the same time, there were fewer and fewer demons watching the fun on the city wall. When night fell, there were no curious figures on it.
Lan Binggu refused to appear for a long time, and Mu Xingqiu felt at ease, which shows that Gan Zhiquan's plan was half successful: Lan Binggu is likely to use the magic invasion Taoist priest again to use the magic transformation technique, and she will fall into the Seven Yuan Hidden Star Formation.
Compared with the brown poisonous fog, the night in the Ice City seems pure and deep. I don’t know if it is because of a Taoist priest visiting or being used to it. There is no light inside and outside the Ice City, and the many saint mothers and children on the pier are more like the same monster, and even the difference in age is erased.
Near the second update, the group of monsters suddenly separated to both sides and squeezed together, but none of them fell into the lake because of this. A passage was also given up.
The only light floated out of the city gate and slowly came to the end of the dock, facing the visitors.
It was indeed a floating lantern, made of a complete skeleton, and the fire was shot out from the eye sockets and mouth, as dim as the moonlight covered by thin clouds.
In the shadow behind the skeleton lantern stood a tall banshee, who was exactly twice as tall as the thin demons around him, but not much fat, like a walking bamboo pole.
Mu Xingqiu looked at the sky eyes and saw the same face: a thin lips, a bird's beak nose, and two eyes that were very close to each other.
The feather crown on her head is the biggest difference between her and the demons.
"Are you that Taoist priest?" The banshee's voice seemed very young.
"You are the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons?" Mu Xingqiu asked back.
The Banshee did not answer, but her style had already explained everything. She just waved her hand gently, and the little demons squeezed on both sides trotted back to the city without delaying for a moment.
"I thought the Taoist priest would be taller than me." The Holy Mother Wanzi said disappointedly, and the skeleton lantern flew close to Mu Xingqiu so that she could see more clearly. "I heard the demons on the other side shouting 'Demon King'."
"They got it wrong."
"Well, the demon race often makes mistakes. That's why we have fallen into this miserable situation today. Even if we let you cross the lake, I think it's a mistake, but Yi Shijun said that he can control you. I'll believe it."
"I'm here to meet Lan Bingku."
"You mean the Faceless Taoist Priest, you have to see her later. My descendants said you have bad intentions, so I had to check it out in person, besides endless offerings of giving birth, I will do this."
"If Lan Binggu doesn't want to see me, I'd better send me back to the other side. I don't want to waste my time."
"In order to see you here, I interrupted my pregnancy and lost five descendants in my stomach. You just waited for a while and felt like a waste of time?"
Mu Xingqiu had nothing to say. He spread his arms and was inspected by the Virgin Mary. The skeleton lantern circled Mu Xingqiu for several times. During the process, he paused several times before returning to the Virgin Mary after a quarter of an hour.
"Go ashore, Taoist priest, I heard that you are looking for the magic of transforming demons, and that's the right place."
Mu Xingqiu stepped onto the pier, followed by fleas, "What I'm looking for is a way to reverse."
"Don't argue with me, you should ask Yi Shijun these things."
The Virgin, like a bamboo pole, walked in front, and the skeleton lantern followed behind her, but still faced Mu Xingqiu, as if illuminating him, and more like surveillance.
Mu Xingqiu couldn't help thinking that the Ice City protected by poisonous fog would not have too powerful demonic power. If he suddenly casts a spell, he could probably kill the Holy Mother and make the Ice City unown. But this was not his purpose. He wanted to see Lan Binggu or the strange Shijun, who was true or false, to figure out what the magical transformation technique here was. As for the light ball in the flea horn, he couldn't guess what it was about.
It is impossible to fly near the Ice City, and there is no tall main city gate on the city wall. There is only a low door hole. It seems that the Virgin Mary has to bend over to get in.
"Qilin, you didn't check that Qilin." A voice suddenly came from above the city wall, and the sound trembled slightly, as if you were speaking with great fear.
Only a dozen steps away from the city gate, the Virgin of Wanzi stopped and turned around, "Stop, Taoist priest. Oh, I just said I am not good at doing this kind of thing. I have given birth to too many sacrifices, which made my mind broken. Is that a Kirin? It looks no different from a scaled beast. You have to get out of the way, I want to check it."
Mu Xingqiu hesitated for a moment before making way out, looking at the flea, signaling that it should not be afraid. If there is really danger, he will cast a spell to save it without hesitation.
There is no poisonous fog here. As long as he works hard, he feels that he can cast powerful spells.
The skeleton lantern began to slowly circle around the fleas. Mu Xingqiu looked at it for a while and looked up at the city wall above his head.
A demon was lying on the wall, wearing a black cloak, like a huge bat. His head was hidden in his hood, but the height of dozens of feet and the night color could not affect the sky's eyes. Mu Xingqiu saw a pale face, with two fangs in his mouth, and his eyes were wet, as if he had just cried.
"Feiba, how did you escape from Yashan?"
