Chapter 105 Warning From the Human-Faced Owl (1/2)
The river bend under the night sky became quiet again as the red-haired woman and the river god left.
As for where the king went, Lu Heng could guess it with his knees.
She must have gone to the water palace of Pangjiang to find the river god Gu Zhou.
And she jumped into the water directly when she left, and did not hide her intentions, so it was not difficult to guess.
However, the next thing was the king's own family affairs, so Lu Heng would not join in the fun.
With the character shown by the king, Lu Heng believed that she would not embarrass the Pangjiang water god, otherwise she would not pay tribute to Lu Heng on behalf of her father.
The moment she lowered her head, it meant that she had recognized the identity of the little Gu Diao.
On the boat, the little Gu Diao was full of curiosity about the fat bird in the cage, and kept turning around the cage.
The fat bird in the cage was lying softly, ignoring the carnivorous bird of prey outside - even though the little Gu Diao was staring at it with a longing and curious look.
After the bumpy ride, the fat bird had given up resistance. It looked lazy and lay flat to be manipulated.
Huo Feng was a little nervous and told the little Gu Diao several times, "This bird can't be eaten! This bird can't be eaten!"
Huo Feng said seriously, and he was slightly relieved until the little Gu Diao nodded vigorously.
But even so, Huo Feng decided to sleep with the fat bird in the cage at night.
To be on the safe side, he even asked Xiao Ai to help him watch it, fearing that the little Gu Diao would take advantage of him after he fell asleep.
But his worries were actually a bit unfounded, because although the little Gu Diao was more interested in the fat bird, it was just interested.
When it was hungry, it would go directly into the water, and after a few seconds, it would fly up with a fish in its mouth, land on the deck, scrape the fish scales with its sharp claws, and then peck at the fish meat with its beak.
At dawn, Huo Feng was awakened by the sound of the little Gu Diao's sharp beak pecking at fish meat.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes and sitting up, Huo Feng looked at the gray sky outside and yawned.
In the cold morning wind, Lu Heng lay on the bow, closed his eyes and rested, as if he had fallen asleep. Xiao Ai sat cross-legged beside him, also closed his eyes and concentrated, refining spiritual energy and guarding the wolf god.
Seeing that the man and the wolf were practicing, Huo Feng did not disturb them.
He walked to the stern of the boat silently to wash up, then fished up the anchor that sank into the river, and then sat at the stern to steer and row, controlling the boat to slowly sail away from the river bay.
The little Gu Diao squatted at the stern, curiously looking at the basket of stones that Huo Feng fished out from the bottom of the river, and pecking at it with his beak from time to time.
After all, it was an ordinary boat, and the so-called anchor was just a bamboo basket filled with stones, and it could not be made of real gold and iron like those luxurious ships.
After the boat left the river bay, it soon sailed out of this small tributary and merged into the wide Pangjiang River again.
In the hazy morning light, the view above the Pangjiang River was wide. In addition to their small boat, boats of different sizes could be seen from a distance going downstream.
The Pangjiang River here was about a thousand feet wide. The river was wide and the water was rushing. The boat only needed to go downstream, and its speed was not much slower than the galloping horses on the shore.
When Lu Heng opened his eyes, the boat had already sailed far out of the territory of Youzhi City.
The first ray of sunlight in the morning was falling on the river at this time, and the singing of the boatman in the river could be heard from afar. There was a kind of desolate and ancient atmosphere in the slightly hoarse and long ballad.
Not far away on the river, a three-story large ship was going downstream. With the sails fluttering, the speed was much faster than their small boat.
When the two sides crossed each other in parallel, Lu Heng could see from a distance that on the third deck, a thinly dressed middle-aged man yawned and walked out of the cabin with a thinly dressed young woman in his arms.
When Lu Heng saw the middle-aged man, the other party also saw the white wolf on the small boat in the river from a distance.
The two sides' eyes crossed, and the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, as if he saw a smile in the eyes of the white wolf.
So he hesitated for a moment, and finally let go of the woman in his arms, and bowed to the wolf demon on the small boat from a distance, as a greeting.
Lu Heng laughed, but he didn't expect this guy to be so polite, so he nodded to the middle-aged man as a response.
After dozens of breaths, the big ship left Lu Heng and his friends far behind and soon disappeared from sight.
The last thing Lu Heng saw was the lifelike Gu carving totem on the sail.
While the two sides of the Pangjiang River worship the God of Fire, they also worship the River God Gu Zhou. Therefore, many boats on the river are printed with the totem of Gu Diao.
Lu Heng was not surprised by this.
He looked at the little Gu Diao flying around the boat and said with a smile, "Gu Yan, come here."
The figure of the man in white appeared, and Lu Heng's Yuanshen incarnation waved his hand, "Let me see your condition."
The little Gu Diao did not dare to ignore Lu Heng's call.
It quickly flapped its wings and landed on Lu Heng's hand, standing very obediently, waiting for Lu Heng's inspection.
In the morning light, if you leave the Pangshui River, which is well-developed in water transportation, and go south to the end of this land, you can see the vast sea with thousands of miles of blue waves.
The golden sunlight reflected the vast sea with phosphorescent dots.
The fishy and salty sea breeze whistled across the end of the land, across the vast sea, and blew to the depths of the ocean far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
A lonely island stood silently in the vast blue waves.
The seagulls' cries broke the silence of the early morning with a noisy and sharp sound.
But a black mist flew rapidly in the distance, which frightened the seagulls circling in the sky and made them flee into the woods on the island.
In the azure sky, the black mist flew around the island and finally landed on the sea surface south of the island.
The clear and transparent sea water surged wave after wave, hitting the gravel on the beach. And in the cold waves, there was a vague human figure floating up and down, like a floating corpse that had suffered a shipwreck, rising and falling in the waves.
The black shadow fell on the sea and turned into a fierce bird with a human face.
Then it stretched out its sharp claws and grabbed the floating corpse in the river like it was hunting prey, then flapped its wings and took off, dragging the floating corpse with its face up to the sky and landing on the beach by the sea.
Only then could we see that the "floating corpse" in the sea was actually a woman.
The strange bird landed beside the woman and made a sharp and hoarse cry.
"Hey! Wake up! Stinky woman! I have something important to tell you!"
The strange bird cried while pulling the messy hair of the "floating corpse" with its claws.
I don't know how long she had been floating in the sea, and there was seaweed growing between her black hair.
"What the hell did you eat again? How come you look half dead again?" The strange bird yelled in extreme dissatisfaction, "If I don't come to find you, are you going to stay in the sea and pretend to be dead?"
The strange bird yelled in dissatisfaction, while using its claws to help the woman pull and comb her hair that was already a mess and full of algae, and even turned out several barnacles attached to it, emitting a faint smell of the sea.
The woman lying on her back on the beach for a long time in the sun, and in the shouting and cursing of the human-faced owl, she slowly opened her eyes, a little dazed.
"Um... Owl, is it time for breakfast?" The woman sat up while rubbing her eyes, saying, "Why am I so wet? Did you forget to take off your clothes when you took a shower last night?"
Beside the woman, the human-faced owl with ferocious features kicked her fiercely, knocking her to the ground, and then cursed, "Eat, eat, eat... You only know how to eat! Don't you know where you are now?"
The kick from the human-faced owl seemed to wake the woman up.
She lay on the beach for a while, then suddenly sat up, covering her head.
"Hiss... my head..." the woman covered her head in pain, "I remember, I was going to attend the rare treasures conference of the Mermaid Kingdom, but I accidentally found a ? (bei)? fish on the sea. I chased it all the way, and finally caught the ?? fish, and then made soup with it."
"Then...hiss...then, I seemed to be floating on the sea, and I don't know how long I floated. I felt light and floating. It was such an interesting feeling."
The woman rubbed her head and said, with a look of nostalgia, "The fish soup of that ?? fish...is really delicious. Next time we have a chance, let's try it together."
The woman smiled nostalgically, but the human-faced owl cursed directly.
"Try your mother's snake skin watermelon! If you want to drink it, drink it yourself! I won't drink it! That's a damn poisonous thing! You actually used it to make soup! Is your brain broken again?"
The human-faced owl was very angry, "If I didn't come to wake you up, did you plan to float all the way to the mermaid country?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized something.
"Yes, the mermaid country...hiss...mermaid country..." The woman rubbed her eyebrows and looked at the human-faced owl beside her in distress, saying, "Ah Owl, what day is today? The rare treasures conference hasn't passed yet, right?"
The human-faced owl sneered and said, "It hasn't passed, you have been in a coma for about ten years. In two years, you can participate in the next rare treasures conference."
The woman widened her eyes, "Are you kidding! How could it have been so long? I have only been floating on the sea for a month at most...uh...two months? Anyway, it won't be more than half a year at most!"
The woman finally made a decisive judgment.
The human-faced owl looked at the woman in front of him speechlessly. After a long silence, he even lost the mood to curse.
It said with a tired face, "You have been awake for so long, don't you ask me why I came to you? Seeing me, you should know that something big happened in Youtian Valley, right? The Feathered Tribe entrusted you to refine the medicine, I don't think you care at all!"
The woman smiled awkwardly and said, "How is it possible... I definitely care about it. But don't I care more about you, Owl?"
"You flew thousands of miles from Youtian Valley to find me. It can be seen that we are in sync with each other. You know that I am in trouble, so you came to wake me up before the Rare Treasures Conference is officially held, right?"
The woman looked expectant.
The human-faced owl, however, was indifferent and cursed directly, "Fuck you! I wish you would die in the South China Sea!"
"I came to you this time to inform you to be careful of an old monster named Lu Heng!"
"That old monster controlled the heavenly punishment thunder, sucked up all the water in the nether spring in one breath, and took away a netherworld soul-suppressing seal with some powerful power. Although I can't see his specific background, from my point of view, this old monster is definitely an old monster that existed in ancient times."
"He can live so long and control the heavenly punishment thunder. I'm afraid he is not much weaker than the most powerful monsters in the records of the Ten Wizards of Lingshan."
"Of course, the most important thing is that this old monster is now heading towards the South China Sea to find you!"
The human-faced owl cursed in an excited voice, "If something happens, you stinky woman, don't say I didn't remind you...remember?!"
The man-faced owl's words made the woman stunned for a moment, a little confused.
"Ah? Old monster? Lu Heng? Yushi Tianpu Jie Lei? What's the situation? Why does such an outrageous guy come to me? I didn't offend him, did I?"
The human-faced owl glared at the woman in front of him and cursed, "See for yourself!"
After saying that, it exhaled a black mist and sprayed it directly on the woman's face.
The expression on the woman's face suddenly changed. She was surprised, stunned, shocked... It seemed that in her eyes, she saw everything that happened in the Youtian Valley.
The white wolf came walking on the water of the quiet spring, a terrifying figure wielding the power of heavenly punishment. A black and yellow seal was summoned from the quiet spring, and the water from the quiet spring that had existed in Youtian Valley since ancient times was taken away...
The expression on the woman's face changed rapidly.
After a while, she slowly came back to her senses and understood everything that had happened.
"So that's it," the woman nodded in sudden realization and said, "This senior demon clan member named Lu Heng actually came to me for treatment."
"And it was you, Owl, who told him where I was."
The woman laughed, looked at the human-faced owl on the side, and raised her eyebrows, "Owl, if you didn't say that I was in the South China Sea, and you didn't say that I could save that Yunmen disciple, this senior Lu Heng would definitely You won’t come to me...right?"
The human-faced owl was stunned for a moment, its hair stood on end and flew backwards.
However, it moves quickly, and the woman moves faster than it.
The woman who was sitting sickly on the beach waved lightly, and the human-faced owl was grabbed by her neck and pulled in front of her.
Their noses collided, their eyes looked into each other's, and the woman smiled extremely happily and brightly.
The human-faced owl quickly shouted in horror, "When I told you your location, I didn't know that Lu Heng was an old monster! I thought you would like that fat relic bird, and that stuffed peach blossom...my... How did you know that the white wolf was so terrifying?"
The human-faced owl defended anxiously, but the woman still smiled brightly.
"But even so... Owl, you have been with me for so long, and you still don't know the master's rules?"
"Master, I never treat men."
"But you actually introduced a stinky man to me... Owl, Owl, have you really let the master down?"
boom--
With a muffled sound, the human-faced owl in the woman's hand turned into a ball of exploding black gas and disappeared on the beach.
At the same time, in Youtian Valley, the human-faced owl suddenly jumped up from the grass hut, sweating profusely with fear.
"Damn it! Something big happened!"
It looked in the direction of the South China Sea in horror, its feathers exploding, "This old woman is going crazy."
I walked sadly and anxiously in front of the thatched cottage for a long time, and the human-faced owl had a sad face.
"How will this stinky bitch get through this when she comes back..."
