Chapter 72 Pang Meng Appears◇
◎Grab the Hongmeng Purple Qi◎
Chang'e was ordered by Chang Xi to fall into the prehistoric world. Although the real culprit behind the scenes was the two Westerners, it did not mean that Hou Yi, the wizard who killed the Little Golden Crow with his own hands, could completely let Chang Xi let go of his worries.
Chang Xi didn't know Hou Yi's strength, so he ordered Chang'e to act in a roundabout way and not to confront the Wu clan head-on.
Chang'e fell into Buzhou Mountain and turned into an ordinary human woman wearing an animal skin skirt and settled in a human tribe. Although she was wearing plain clothes and a straw hairpin, she could not hide her beauty. The human tribes regarded her as a goddess, and soon her beauty spread to every human tribe.
Ever since he shot down nine little golden crows, Houyi became known as the sun-shooting hero among the Wu tribe and was highly praised. The Wu tribe members hoped that he could make further progress and shoot down the last little golden crow to avenge Kuafu, and preferably also shoot down the two big ones.
In order to fulfill the wishes of his people and to avenge his friend, Houyi practiced archery all day long and enjoyed hunting.
The prey naturally includes humans.
After Nuwa went to Zixiao Palace, the human race had no shelter anymore and fell into the clutches of the witch clan again.
It was at this time that Chang'e appeared in front of Houyi, a graceful girl who looked like a frightened deer, with a pair of dew-filled eyes, like the moon appearing in the dark night, covering the light of other stars, and she landed in front of his magic bow unexpectedly.
At that moment, Houyi stared blankly at the beautiful girl in front of him, unable to let go of the bowstring in his hand.
He was captivated by the beauty of his prey.
Little do they know that the real hunter often appears in the form of prey!
Houyi took Chang'e to the territory of the Wu tribe regardless of anything else and asked to marry her.
Chang'e smiled softly and said, "My lord is a warrior who shoots down the sun. I admire you and wish to serve you for the rest of my life without asking for any official title."
The rough men of the Wu clan were too bothered and generally believed in fleeting love, gathering when fate brought them together and parting when fate brought them together. They did not engage in the cumbersome etiquette of the demon clan next door. Houyi originally thought that Chang'e was born into the human race, and must have been influenced by the demon clan and needed a grand ceremony to form a covenant.
But Chang'e seemed to need no covenant ceremony even more than he did, and Houyi didn't know how to feel for a moment.
Chang'e then lived in Houyi's home, but she was a human after all, and the Wu clan regarded humans as slaves. In order to prevent others from discovering that he had hidden a human in his home, Houyi could only restrict her travel and not let her go out at will.
Houyi is a rising star of the new generation of the Wu clan. Although he is young, his strength has reached the level of a great witch, which is incomparable to ordinary Wu clan members. He has also become the hero who shoots down the sun. Whenever he goes out, he is surrounded by people and has countless followers.
Chang'e found that she had no chance of killing him with one blow, and the possibility of escaping unscathed was even smaller. She could only choose to lie low, try to please Houyi, gain Houyi's trust, and let him let down his guard.
Houyi treated her like a treasure. Except for not taking her out, he almost always granted her requests. After hunting every day, he no longer called his friends to sing and drink as before, but returned home as soon as possible to accompany Chang'e.
Over time, Houyi's friends discovered something was wrong. In addition to Kuafu, Houyi also had a good friend named Pang Meng, who was also a good archer. He found it strange that Houyi went out late and came back early every day, and he couldn't help but become curious.
So he observed the time when Houyi went out every day. One day, after Houyi went out hunting, he sneaked into his home and found a beautiful woman in Houyi's home.
He recognized the person at a glance. It was Chang'e, the recently famous beauty of the human race. He had seen her once by chance, and she had disappeared since then. Unexpectedly, she was hidden in Houyi's home!
Pang Meng was surprised and happy, and hurriedly asked if Chang'e was abducted by Houyi. If so, could he help her?
Chang'e was not a real human, nor was she as innocent and pure as she looked. She immediately understood the look in Pang Meng's eyes. That was the look in Houyi's eyes. The only difference was that this Wu clan member's eyes had a bit more lust than Houyi's, which was disgusting.
Chang'e suppressed her displeasure, lifted her hair from her chest charmingly, and smiled sweetly: "So what? Can you kill Hou Yi and save me?"
Pang Meng's astonished gaze disappeared without a trace in an instant. After calming down, he realized that he could not beat Hou Yi.
Chang'e couldn't help but laugh at the way this man acted as if he were facing a formidable enemy upon hearing Houyi's name. She suppressed her nausea and walked forward. Her delicate, boneless hands tugged at Pang Meng's sleeve, tears welling in her eyes. "If you are willing to rescue me from this sea of suffering, I will give myself to you."
Even though Pang Meng was afraid of Chang'e in the face of such beauty, he would not show it. He immediately held Chang'e's hand with emotion and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to save you."
Chang'e pretended to be moved and was about to speak when she heard a noise outside the room. She turned around and saw Pang Meng, only to see that his face had changed drastically.
Houyi came back. Chang'e sneered in her heart, pointed to the window, signaled Pang Meng to go out through the window, and then left the room to greet Houyi.
She felt a little guilty when she saw Hou Yi, but she was relieved to see that his expression was the same as before. She asked in a gentle voice, "My Lord, why did you come back so early today?"
Houyi walked towards her without saying a word, then picked her up, slowly carried her into the inner room, and placed her on the stone bed.
At this time, a fierce battle was taking place in the Heavenly Palace. Kunpeng brought the bodies of Lu Ya and the other little golden crows back to the Heavenly Palace. He confessed to Emperor Jun that he had not rescued the little golden crows in time, but he didn't know that he was in Di Jun's control.
Since returning from Lingshan last time, Di Jun deeply realized that although Nuwa's brother Fuxi worked in the Heavenly Court, Nuwa herself was not in the same mind as the Heavenly Court after all, and that creatures like saints were really difficult to control.
Later, when the war between the two tribes of wizards and liches broke out, Nuwa would not really help the Heavenly Court wholeheartedly. As a result, Di Jun began to be wary of Nuwa. As the link between the Heavenly Court and the saints, Fuxi was naturally treated coldly in the Heavenly Court.
Di Jun was afraid of Nuwa, and even more afraid of Fuxi. As the elder brother of a saint, Fuxi had great influence in the heaven. At this time, Di Jun, who was well versed in the way of the emperor, understood that Fuxi had Nuwa to protect him. If he wanted to turn the tables and become the boss, he might really be pulled down.
Therefore, in the research and development of the most important research project in Heaven today, the Great Zhoutian Star Array, Fuxi was kicked out of the candidate list by Di Jun.
Regardless of whether Fuxi intended to replace Di Jun, Di Jun's actions completely offended Nuwa.
Di Jun also knew that Nuwa was unreliable, so he decided to keep the saint in his own hands. The best way was to have a saint who would never betray him. The candidate was not Kunpeng, but Taiyi.
He was just worrying about how to take back the Hongmeng Purple Qi from Kunpeng's hands in advance, when an opportunity suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Kunpeng himself had personal problems first. Di Jun didn't care whether Kunpeng betrayed the demon clan or not, but Kunpeng was bound to take the blame. He asked him to hand over the Hongmeng Purple Qi on the grounds that he deliberately colluded with Houtu to harm the young princes.
Kunpeng was in great pain.
Garuda, who has grown into a handsome young man, cannot bear to see his teacher being humiliated, so he picks up his magic weapon and is ready to fight Di Jun to the death.
Taiyi came back and saw this scene. He stopped everyone and reported to Di Jun that the two saints from the West were also involved. The real murderer behind the scenes was in the West, not Kunpeng.
As smart as Di Jun was, he immediately thought of the reason why the two saints from the West suddenly attacked Xiao Jinwu. It was because he and Nuwa went to the West to seek revenge and offended the two saints from the West.
Not only did he not find the place, but he also harmed his son. Di Jun was speechless and unwilling to believe this fact. In anger, he dared not resent the West anymore, and blamed the Wu clan for the loss of his son, and even hated Kunpeng.
But Taiyi was still there. His younger brother was stubborn and refused to compromise. He insisted on saving Kunpeng. He didn't dare to punish Kunpeng in front of Taiyi, so he could only lock him up temporarily.
In front of Bai Ze, Lu Wu and other ministers, Taiyi couldn't afford to offend his brother, so he could only secretly protect Garuda.
But now Tongtian is no longer in the prehistoric world, and only Kong Shuang is left in the Biyou Palace. In this situation, he cannot send Garuda directly to the Biyou Palace, but can only send Garuda to the Taiyin Star of Chang Xi, the friend of Kong Shuang, to seek refuge.
It happened that Kong Shuang was on Taiyin Star, staying with Chang Xi. After the envoy sent by Taiyi finished speaking, Chang Xi directly and rudely mocked the visitor in front of him:
"This kind of dog-eat-dog scene, I really hate myself for not seeing it..."
Kong Shuang was amused by this remark and did not take the messenger seriously.
The little messenger was sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to wipe it off. He could only let the sweat flow to the ground, his body shaking like a sieve.
Chang Xi felt bored when he saw the reaction of the deceased. He remembered that although Taiyi was Di Jun's younger brother, Di Jun's actions had nothing to do with him. He no longer had the desire to vent his anger and sent the man away.
Garuda came with the messenger. He was completely different from when he was a child after growing up. The two siblings had not seen each other for tens of thousands of years. Kong Shuang did not recognize her younger brother, but she found this handsome little boy very pleasing to the eye.
It was not until Garuda snorted at her that she suddenly realized that the handsome boy was her brother.
The atmosphere fell into an awkward state.
The situation in the sky was changing rapidly, and Chang'e, who was in the Wu clan, was not having a good time. She originally wanted to provoke Pang Meng and Houyi, sit back and watch the fight, and let Houyi be killed by his own people, but things gradually got out of her control.
Since that day, when Pang Meng saw her for the first time at Houyi's house, she was almost discovered by Houyi who returned home early. Chang'e found it difficult to find an opportunity to conspire with Pang Meng behind Houyi's back.
After finally finding it, Chang'e was always almost discovered by Houyi who "returned home early". After a long time, Chang'e slowly realized that something was wrong.
Why did Hou Yi always return home early when she was plotting with Pang Meng? Hou Yi must have discovered it!
But why did Hou Yi not show it when he clearly discovered it? He was reluctant to expose himself and chose to cover it up.
Thinking of this, Chang'e's mentality inevitably changed.
After separating from Chang Xi, especially when she was in the Wu Clan and far away from the Moon Star, she could feel that her consciousness was becoming clearer and clearer, and Chang Xi's influence on her was becoming smaller and smaller.
In particular, the hatred for Houyi that she inherited from Chang Xi gradually diminished. She found that as she got along with Houyi day by day, her desire to kill Houyi was also fading day by day.
To be honest, Houyi was a handsome and gentle man. He was very good to her and loved her deeply. This love was like a monster that devoured hatred, making her unable to stop.
