Chapter 67 Houyi Shooting the Sun◇
◎Bad news◎
Although Taiyi was at Kunlun Mountain, there was still great joy in the Biyou Palace, so much so that the little Jade Rabbit didn't even see him appear.
Tongtian, on the other hand, raised his eyes and fixed a glance at his stopped figure, his hand gently stroking his hair without stopping, and said lightly, "You're here."
Kong Shuang looked in the direction of his voice and immediately slapped his hand away. She casually cast a spell, tied her hair up, picked up the little jade rabbit, and pointed, "Look who's here?"
The little Jade Rabbit called out in surprise: "Uncle!"
He pounced forward on his short legs and hugged Taiyi's thighs.
Duobao, who was standing by, saw this scene and knew that Donghuang Taiyi was here to take his Jade Rabbit sister home, and his eyes couldn't help but dim.
Kong Shuang noticed him and waved him over to ask him to apologize to Taiyi. Duobao lowered his head in despair and apologized to Taiyi.
Taiyi didn't care at all. In his opinion, it was a good thing that his niece could stay in Kunlun Mountain and be taught by the saint. When the ten little golden crows were born, his brother Dijun even thought of asking Nuwa to be their teacher. Unfortunately, there were more and more conflicts between Nuwa and Dijun, and the Heavenly Court could not open its mouth.
Thinking of this, Taiyi bent down, picked up the little Jade Rabbit, and caressed her head lovingly. He said, "I have disturbed the Saint for so long. Now that I am going home, I will kowtow to the Saint."
When it came to going home, the little Jade Rabbit was stunned for a moment, then slowly picked at his fingers and whispered, "Can Brother Duobao go home with me?"
Duobao's eyes lit up and he looked at Tongtian expectantly. Tongtian was always lenient towards his disciples and never interfered with their work. Then he looked away again.
He is no longer the little kid who just entered the master's sect. He is now the saint's first disciple and should consider his teacher and the Jiejiao in everything.
Even though he had not left Kunlun Mountain for many years, he knew what was happening outside. The struggle between the two races of wizards and liches was in full swing, and the demon race was a place of trouble. At this time, he should stay in Kunlun Mountain and not cause trouble for his teacher.
Duobao's eyes gradually dimmed, and he retreated behind Tongtian, grabbing his teacher's sleeve without saying a word, just like when he was a child.
Kong Shuang nodded slightly, pleased with Duobao's growth.
The little Jade Rabbit blinked and understood her brother Duobao's attitude. She couldn't help but pout and throw herself into Taiyi's arms, no longer looking at him.
Tongtian couldn't bear to watch, and promised the little Jade Rabbit: "If there is a chance, I will take Duobao to the Heavenly Palace to see Yutong."
Yutong is the little jade rabbit's name. After hearing this, the little jade rabbit turned away proudly, then turned back after a while, looking at Tongtian reluctantly: "A saint must keep his word."
Taiyi hugged the little jade rabbit tightly, looked at the sky, and then looked at Kunlun Mountain. To him, Kunlun Mountain was like his paradise. In the past when he and Tongtian first met, one of them would slip away to the Sun Star and the other would run to Kunlun Mountain, and then they would wait for their respective brothers to come and catch them.
After Di Jun started to form the Demon Alliance, everything seemed to have changed. His brother, who was gradually becoming a stranger, often felt suffocating. He liked Kunlun Mountain even more. Kunlun Mountain was vast and sparsely populated, and it was unusually quiet. Every time he went to Kunlun Mountain, he could relax for a long time by talking or fighting with Tongtian.
However, as the demon clan grew stronger, he forgot how many tens of thousands of years it had been since he last set foot here.
Now, taking advantage of the opportunity presented by the Jade Rabbit, he suddenly discovered that Kunlun Mountain seemed to have undergone many subtle changes. However, upon closer inspection, it was not Kunlun Mountain that was being changed, but himself.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Now that I'm back at your Kunlun Mountain, I feel a little unfamiliar."
Hearing this, Tongtian's expression darkened a bit. He raised his eyes, stared at his long-time friend, and chuckled softly: "As long as you can let go of your obsession, everything can be solved."
Kong Shuang frowned, not understanding what the two were talking about, but seeing Taiyi's dejected look, he could guess a thing or two. It must be his resentful brother who was causing trouble again.
To be honest, she actually felt a little sympathetic towards Donghuang Taiyi. Compared to Chang Xi, who was also secretly planning how to destroy the Wu Clan in the Heavenly Court because of his sister, Taiyi was the one who was forced to do something.
Anyone who can play well with Tongtian must be someone who doesn't like killing. Unfortunately, he has a resentful brother, and as the current highest combat power of the demon clan, he has been carrying the hope of the demon clan, so the pressure can be imagined.
Kong Shuang silently sympathized with him in her heart, turned around and told Duobao to get a few pots of the fine wine that she and Tongtian had brewed in their spare time, to entertain Donghuang Taiyi, just to relieve his stress.
Duobao was very happy. When important people drink, they will definitely drink for dozens or even hundreds of years. This way, he can spend more time with his sister Jade Rabbit.
Tongtian's words hit the nail on the head, touching upon the hidden emotions in Taiyi's heart. His bitter smile froze in his eyes. He understood what Tongtian meant, but he couldn't let go. He couldn't let go of his brother who had been with him day and night for millions of years.
Kong Shuang turned around and brought out a few pots of wine. Since she had achieved this, Tongtian naturally could not fall behind. He immediately waved his hand and ordered the water and fire boys to start the banquet.
Taiyi was deeply touched by the unexpected hospitality.
Kong Shuang showed a subtle embarrassment on her face and stopped talking. Duobao misunderstood her meaning. She originally wanted to give the guest a pot of wine and send him away, and she didn't want to keep him.
The situation backfired. Duobao took his beloved Jade Rabbit sister out to play. Kong Shuang drank cup after cup of wine in anger. The fairy wine was brewed by her and Tongtian using Huangzhong plums and Sanguan magic water. It had an extraordinary aftertaste.
Kong Shuang got drunk as he drank, and eventually fell asleep on Tongtian's lap.
Tongtian found a comfortable position for her as if nothing had happened. He couldn't help laughing and pinched her flushed cheeks. After she resisted unsatisfactorily, he began to play with her black hair seriously.
Taiyi on the opposite side took a look and felt his face burning. He was too embarrassed to look at it anymore.
The hall fell into silence. Tongtian suddenly raised his head, and the doting and loving look on his face towards Kong Shuang disappeared completely. He looked at the invisible sky with a sense of something, and slowly frowned.
Taiyi counted with his fingers and his face instantly turned ugly. Ten little golden crows appeared again.
Taiyi showed a guilty look, looking at Tongtian who frowned, he just felt that he lacked confidence: "I will persuade my brother."
Tongtian didn't say anything. He lowered his head and pinched Kong Shuang again, secretly feeling relieved. Kong Shuang has always loved the human race. If he knew that the ten little golden crows came out again, he might scold Di Jun severely, which would embarrass him in front of Taiyi.
Taiyi felt even more guilty and had no appetite for drinking. He stood up and was about to say goodbye. He wanted to take his nephews away.
At the same time, Tongtian seemed to hear a series of wailing sounds. His expression changed drastically and he looked at Taiyi in disbelief.
Taiyi's body was shaky, his mind went blank for a moment, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. When he raised his eyes again, they were full of blood. He moved his lips, but could not utter a word. After a long time, he said hoarsely: "Tongtian, my nephews are all dead."
Tongtian was heartbroken and was about to stand up when he suddenly found that Kong Shuang in his arms had turned over. He paused, used a spell, and sent Kong Shuang back to the inner room.
Taiyi, who was here, had already summoned the Donghuang Bell and looked back at him: "I want to avenge them."
After saying this, he flew away immediately, but his mood had not yet calmed down, and his figure became increasingly unstable as he left.
In this state, how could Tongtian let him go alone?
At the foot of Mount Buzhou, a man and a woman were confronting each other. The man was protecting a young boy behind him, who was none other than Kunpeng. The boy protected by Kunpeng was the last remaining of the ten Golden Crows, Lu Ya, the tenth son of Emperor Jun.
The corpses of the other nine little Golden Crows were scattered around them. The three-legged Golden Crow, having lost the Sun God Fire, had become charred black, no longer the same as it used to hang high in the sky, attracting all living beings to retreat.
The little Golden Crow pointed at a seriously injured man lying on the ground with a bow and arrow on his back and said in agony: "Demon Master, it was he who killed my brothers. You must avenge my brothers."
Kunpeng was in grief. Since he was a demon master, he naturally could not bear this title in vain. After the plan of letting the little golden crows become Nuwa's disciples failed, he became the teacher of the little golden crows, usually enlightening them. Although his relationship with the little golden crows was not as deep as that with Garuda, when he saw the corpses of the little golden crows lingering in front of his eyes, he still couldn't control the urge to kill the murderer.
But on the other side...
The little golden crows were shot to death one by one with a magic bow. The one who shot them was a rising star from the Wu clan named Houyi.
Kunpeng almost killed someone before, but was stopped by the woman opposite.
The one who stopped him was the ancestor witch Hou Tu.
Hou Tu stood in front of Hou Yi, unmoved: "This is a member of my Wu clan. As long as I am here, I will not let you touch him."
Kunpeng suppressed his anger and tried his best to control himself: "Fellow Daoist Hou Tu, I can listen to you on everything else. But this time, this sorcerer killed my little prince from the Heavenly Court. You should hand him over to me. I will hand him over to the Demon King for disposal."
Hou Tu understood and closed her eyes in sorrow: "Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. Let's fight!"
Little Jinwu was young and didn't notice that there was something wrong between the two of them.
But Houyi, who fell to the ground, frowned tightly, and his eyes moved back and forth between Houtu and Kunpeng, trying to figure out what was wrong with the two of them.
Tongtian Taiyi arrived late. When he saw the corpses of the little golden crows scattered on the ground, Taiyi covered his chest and took a few steps back in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he saw. After a while, he raised his eyes and looked at Tongtian.
Tongtian nodded reluctantly in the face of his pleading eyes, unable to bear to look away, and whispered, "My condolences!"
Taiyi's eyes were dull and he started to cry.
I only heard a clear call: "Uncle."
Taiyi came back to his senses and his eyes fell on his only remaining nephew. Only then did a glimmer of light appear in his eyes. He hugged Lu Ya and felt a little comforted.
Tongtian raised his sleeves and collected the bodies of the little golden crows.
The appearance of the two made Kunpeng feel relieved. He looked at Houtu beside him and became nervous again, with a strange look on his face.
Tongtian naturally could not hide his strangeness. Following his gaze, Tongtian glanced at Houtu and showed a hint of surprise.
If Kong Shuang were here, he would be shocked. When Houtu helped Kunpeng once by chance, Kunpeng praised Houtu's beauty. At that time, Kong Shuang even secretly complained about Kunpeng's aesthetic taste. But now, Houtu, who has not revealed her true identity as a witch, is indeed beautiful, not inferior to those beauties from the demon clan.
Taiyi, the strongest demon clan, appeared, and Houtu's face gradually became ugly. If it was only Kunpeng alone, she would be sure to protect Houyi, but now there is another Taiyi, not to mention Shangqing who looks like an enemy rather than a friend.
As expected, after comforting his nephews, Taiyi reacted and glared at Houyi, who was trying hard to hide his presence, with wariness and anger: "You killed my nephew."
After saying that, the Donghuang Bell flew out of his body and smashed towards Houyi.
Hou Tu's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly used her body to block the Donghuang Bell. The Wu Clan has always not cultivated the soul, but only the body. Therefore, their bodies are very powerful, but the Donghuang Bell is also a killing treasure. Hou Tu endured it with her own body and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Kunpeng, who had been staring at her, narrowed his pupils and subconsciously reached out his hand to stop her.
Hou Tu managed to steady herself and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "My people killed your Little Golden Crow in Heaven, but they also killed my Great Wizard Kuafu. This is tit for tat."
Taiyi was furious. He had lost nine nephews, so how could a mere great wizard compare to him?
Hou Tu added, "If Dong Huang still remains unsatisfied, I will sacrifice my life in exchange for his. This will help me understand the cause and effect between the two races, the Lich and the Wizard."
Taiyi was stunned for a moment, then threw the Donghuang Bell at him again in shock: "As you wish!"
Kunpeng's breathing quickened. Just as he was about to fly over to block it, he saw a bright red sleeve waving. A slender and beautiful arm stretched out and lightly blocked the Donghuang Bell: "Wait!"
