Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took the fourth son back to Baihua Valley to find the compass. Who knew that on the return trip, they not only found two giant temples, but also unexpectedly met the Ouyang family's little peach blossom.

Neither Zhanbai nor Xiao Taohua has ever seen Xiao Taohua himself, let alone them, not even Ouyang. The only thing that can be used to identify people is, apart from Ouyang's private embroidered shoes, the only thing left by Meier back then

Here comes the pair of earrings.

Just as Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were thinking, they heard a sound of "hee hee soo soo" and two chubby red foxes strolled over.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both said "Oh" secretly, not only the shoes and earrings - but also the pair of foxes.

The mother-in-law sheathed her sword just now, glanced at Zhan Bai, and walked away with her hands behind her back.

Xiao Taohua asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang how they found this place.

Zhan Zhao put the fourth son on the ground. The fourth son was no longer afraid of being born. He ran over and looked up at Ouyang's little peach blossom, and was surrounded by two fat foxes.

Zhan Zhao took out the compass and showed it to her. He wanted to chat a few words but didn’t know what to call her. It’s hard to call her “Little Peach Blossom”.

Fortunately, at this time, Xiao Sizi spoke up, took Xiao Taohua's hand and asked her, "Sister, what is your name?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at the fourth son, Tuanzi got along very naturally with various sisters and aunts...

Xiao Taohua reached out and touched Xiao Sizi's head and whispered, "My name is Lu Xiaoxiao."

"Sister Xiaoxiao." The fourth child immediately called someone and said the name was nice.

When Bai Yutang heard that the girl's surname was Lu, he nodded, "It's a good surname."

Xiao Taohua took the compass Zhan Zhao showed her and began to be in a daze.

At this time, there was movement behind him again.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang turned around and saw a small boat sailing in from the entrance of the cave. Several people got off the boat, led by a woman wearing a white mask. The mask didn't even have any facial features. It was neither good-looking nor ugly.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both felt it and felt that this woman's internal power seemed a bit familiar.

"You are really amazing, you can find it in a place like this..."

When the woman spoke, her voice was slightly hoarse, strong and familiar at the same time.

"Ah!" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both remembered that this person should be Ling'er, Xiao Taohua's godmother in the Kaifeng Ghost Fox Case not long ago!

"Godmother." At this time, Xiao Taohua showed the compass to Ling'er.

Ling'er stared at the compass for a while and asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang with some confusion, "Where did you get this compass?"

Zhan Zhao will briefly explain the process.

Ling'er shook his head, seeming to find it a little ridiculous, "It's also God's will. After so many years, it's actually in the hands of Tianzun..."

Neither Bai Yutang nor Zhan Zhao could figure out what was going on.

Little Taohua waved to them and motioned for them to follow her.

The three of them got on Yaoyao's back again, followed the people from Shanshen Palace out of the cave, and drove the boat to a small dock beside the woods.

After tying up the boat, everyone got off the boat and walked deep into the woods together. The winding forest path was shrouded in thick fog. After turning a few turns, even Bai Yutang no longer recognized the road.

After a while, the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed, and a valley appeared. Hidden in the valley was a small village like a paradise.

Everyone entered the village and came to a small building. Everyone else dispersed, leaving only Ling'er and Xiao Taohua to entertain the three of them.

Yaoyao flapped her wings and played with a few deer and foxes in the open space at the door of the small building. The little old woman in black clothes just came over with a wooden bucket. There was a bucket of fish in it, and she poured it out for Yaoyao.

eat.

The mother-in-law moved a small bench and squatted down to watch Yaoyao eating fish. She even reached out and touched Yaoyao's big head. She laughed while touching her. Her mouth was so cracked that almost all her teeth were falling out. She looked a little cute when she looked shriveled.

.

The fourth son entered the room and found a litter of newborn fox cubs on a sofa bed. They were chubby and sleeping close to each other. He went over and squatted down to look at them.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also sat down with Ling'er. Xiao Taohua brought tea sets and made tea for everyone.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both a little worried for Ouyang. If they had known they would have brought him here, such a good opportunity...

After drinking tea, Xiao Taohua brought some snacks, pulled Xiao Sizi over, and sat with him to eat persimmon cakes.

Ling'er put the compass on the table, took out a wooden box from the room, opened it, and found a gold compass inside, the same as the one Zhan Zhao and his friends had.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other.

Ling'er said, "There are five compasses in total."

Seeing the confused looks on Zhan Bai's and Bai's faces, she nodded and said, "I didn't want to trouble you at first, but I didn't expect you to get involved anyway. It's God's will."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded - right? They were originally here to give Xiao Wu a blind date, but they really didn't expect...

"Did you see the giant just now?" Ling'er asked.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded and said that they also saw four of them in Taibai Mountain on the way back.

"Taibai Mountain..." Ling'er was a little surprised, "That should be a big temple."

"I am not from the Mountain God Palace." Ling'er explained the cause of the matter to the two of them in detail, "The person who took me in was the Palace Master of the Fox Palace. You all know what happened to me, so I won't say more.

.The Shanshen Palace has a long history, and it was once very large... The giants you have seen are the gods enshrined in the Shanshen Palace. The people in the Shanshen Palace believe in giants, just like ordinary people believe in Buddhism or Taoism.

"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both understood it - indeed the giant looked like a kind of god.

"So isn't that giant a skeleton?" asked the fourth son.

Little Taohua shook her head and said, "That kind of giant is actually carved from special wood."

"Is it a wood carving?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were surprised.

Little Taohua nodded, "That kind of tree is the legendary mountain sacred tree, which has become extinct. This kind of tree is very big and can grow to several feet high. Moreover, the mountain sacred tree does not rot or rot, but the skin will show a kind of color after being left for a long time.

It’s in an air-dried state, so the giant statue looks like a skeleton.”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both felt relieved - indeed they were not transformed from living people...

The fourth son puffed out his cheeks and chewed the persimmon cake, while nodding his head - just say it!

"How big was the Mountain God Palace in the past?" Ling'er asked the two of them, "Do you know about the Eagle Dynasty?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both smiled, of course they knew.

Zhan Zhao also sat upright - Bu Cai, the queen of the Eagle Dynasty is...

"The Mountain God Palace at its peak was probably larger than the Eagle Dynasty." Ling'er continued, "The Mountain God Palace controlled almost all the mountains and forests in the world at that time. It was during that period that a large number of giant temples were built. Such temples were

It is used for sacrifices and blessings."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang understood—that’s it.

"The reason why the Mountain God Palace is so powerful is because it knows how to find gold, which is called the gold-seeking technique."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded - something awesome is coming.

"This set of gold-seeking techniques is very mysterious. The Mountain God Palace is not like an ordinary dynasty. It does not have a fixed territory. The Mountain God Palace is quite scattered. Each palace has its own territory in the mountains and forests, especially deer, tigers, bears, and wolves.

The five major clans, Hehu, occupy almost five major areas in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and are all very powerful. In order to prevent disputes caused by over-exploitation of gold, the ancestors of the Shanshen Palace engraved the method of searching for gold on a gold tablet.

And hid the golden tablet. If you want to find this golden tablet, you must collect five golden compasses. These five compasses are hidden in five temples. These five temples are divided into five major clans.

Guard... There will be several giant temples in each clan's territory, and only one of them contains a compass. The giants in the temples that contain compasses all have mechanisms. Once the compass is taken away, the mechanism will open.

.”

When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang heard this, they both thought - when Jiang Wanglou's father took away the compass, the giant looked down at him, and he must have triggered a mechanism...

"Actually, these legends happened a long time ago. The glory of the Mountain God Palace was long before the Eagle Dynasty. With the changes of the times, wars, and natural disasters... the Mountain God Palace has almost declined, and gradually turned into a group of homeless people.

The people who can be returned are hiding in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and they can't even be called a decent sect."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded - that's it...

"But something happened more than ten years ago." Ling'er sighed and pointed at Xiao Taohua, "Xiaoxiao was originally a descendant of Lu Palace, but there was a rebellion in Lu Palace, and her cousin united some

The clan members killed the original palace master of Lu Palace, that is, Xiaoxiao’s parents and some of her close relatives, and snatched the position of the palace master of Lu Palace. Fortunately, the nanny who took care of Xiaoxiao at the time rescued her and escaped with her.

We took refuge in the Fox Palace. I adopted her as my goddaughter, and we have been living together since then... But the golden compass in the Deer Palace has never been found. After so many years, is there anyone still hunting Xiaoxiao... We are trying to protect ourselves.

, scattered into several villages, and hid in other places. This village is the settlement of the descendants of the Fox Palace."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both understood - no wonder Xiaoxiao's surname was Lu instead of Hu. It turned out that the descendants of Lu Gong lived in Fox Palace.

"Actually, fortunately, Xiaoxiao was brought to the Fox Palace, and we took precautions in advance so that we were not destroyed... It turns out that the Lu Palace and the Bear Palace joined forces to destroy several other palaces and monopolize all the compasses. The Tiger Palace

Not so lucky, the whole thing was wiped out by the Bear Palace, the whereabouts of the divine tiger are unknown, and the compass must have been lost as well."

The fourth son asked, "What about the Wolf Palace?"

"The Wolf Palace ceased to exist hundreds of years ago." Ling'er sighed faintly, stretched out her hand, and touched the head of the fire fox that was licking its fur at her feet. "The mythical beast in the Wolf Palace no longer exists.

The people who trusted me left...the Mountain God Palace without the sacred beasts cannot survive in the mountains."

"Does that mean there are only three left in the Mountain God Palace?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Fox, bear and deer?"

Ling'er nodded, "There are only four compasses. We have the compass from the Fox Palace. The one you have originally belonged to the Lu Palace. The Bear Palace and the Lu Palace should have a compass from the Bear Palace, a compass from the Tiger Palace, and another.

The Wolf Palace disappeared hundreds of years ago."

After listening to Ling'er's introduction, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang roughly understood the internal relationships within the Shanshen Palace, but at the same time they also had many questions.
