The snow-covered mountains were left behind, and a mountain covered with black plum blossoms came into view. A large palace on the mountainside stood out among the mountains of black plum blossoms.
Flying high up, one can see crows carrying wine vessels, tables and chairs in and out of the palace, arranging for tomorrow's banquet.
This palace is the residence of the Crow King, and it is named Black Cloud Palace. After becoming the great demon, the Crow King possessed the magic skills to enlighten his own clan, and he transformed all the black-feathered crow clan all over the mountain into monsters.
We built this Black Cloud Palace and lived together.
Although most of the monsters who were enlightened had low qualifications, could not be cultivated, and were not strong in strength, having hundreds of little monsters under his command really made the Crow King look majestic and full of the style of a big monster.
Moreover, several little demons with good intelligence were accidentally born among them, which made the Crow King quite satisfied. The Crow Pioneer was naturally one of them to be sent to deliver the invitations.
Du Kang folded his wings and landed in a side hall. He explained the mission situation to a crow with dull fur and obvious age. He explained in detail which monsters received the invitations in the cave and which invitations failed to be delivered. etc.
The information was recorded in words etched on the paper by the crow with its demonic power, and then it left the side hall.
Wuyun Palace will arrange the seats for tomorrow's banquet and prepare the drinks based on this record. After all, monsters have different strengths, sizes, and drinking abilities.
Those with high strength will naturally sit in the front, and those with larger bodies will have to arrange a larger table. As for those with good drinkers, there is no way. During the banquet, each demon will only be provided with three cups of Wuyun Spirit Wine for free. If you want to drink more, you will have to pay for it.
.
This Wuyunling wine is brewed from last year's black plums and the spiritual spring at the top of Wuyunling Mountain. After being sealed for a year, it is consumed with the black plums that bloom in the cold winter. It can purify the demonic power and nourish the demonic body. It is a rare thing in this mountain and wilderness.
Demon brew.
The annual Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet is a grand event in the nearby mountains and forests, and is also a major source of wealth for Wuyun Palace.
In addition, the Feng family in Tonggu County next door recently had a major incident in which the subordinates overturned the two-hundred-year rule of Old Man Feng. King Crow has always wanted to marry Lord Feng Shang. This plum blossom appreciation banquet will definitely be very lively.
.
In the past, he was afraid of Old Man Feng suppressing Tonggu County's reputation for two hundred years. After his first marriage proposal was rejected, King Crow did not force the matter.
At this time, he took advantage of Tonggu County's weakness to propose marriage, coerced and lured her, and Xiaozhi moved her emotionally. Maybe Feng Shangjun would really accept this husband.
After all, without Old Man Feng, the strength of Feng Shangjun and Feng Dake alone would be somewhat unable to control the situation, and in times of trouble, every ally is precious.
Before the banquet begins, Du Kang needs to get the ghost fruit first.
…
Outside a small courtyard in a remote corner of Wuyun Palace, Du Kang fluttered his black wings and flew to the wall of the small courtyard.
There are no buildings in this courtyard, but a field has been opened up.
In the snow-covered fields, black plants with trunks resembling human arms and branches and leaves resembling human palms, but with hideous and twisted shapes like ghost hands, were swaying in the cold wind.
Seeing this plant, Du Kang was overjoyed. He put the wine bottle in his mouth on the wall, opened his mouth and called softly: "Crow Sixteen, are you there? My brother is here to see you."
Hearing the sound, a black crow raised its head from the palm of the black plant, looked around, and after seeing a familiar figure, it fluttered its wings and flew towards the wall.
"Brother Crow Pioneer, didn't you go to deliver the invitation to the Plum Appreciation Banquet? Why do you have time to come to my place?"
This plant that looks like a ghost hand is ghost grass, and its color is exactly the same as the feathers of the black-feathered demon crow. Crow Sixteen is hidden in the dark palm. If it hadn't taken the initiative to show up, Du Kang would not have been able to find it for a while.
"I just came back after sending the invitations. The king said that I was efficient in my work, so he rewarded me with a bottle of Wuyun Spirit Wine. I felt distressed, thinking that you, Crow Sixteen, have been guarding this ghost grass field all day long. You have a calm and restrained temperament, and you are a man who can listen to monsters.
The demon who speaks his mind comes to drink with you."
As he spoke, he pecked open the cap of the wine bottle, and a cool and refreshing fragrance escaped from the bottle, making his mouth water.
Crow Sixteen had some doubts in her heart. She was not close to Crow Pioneer, so how could she suddenly ask him to drink. However, after smelling the alluring aroma of wine, this thought was forgotten.
No matter what the reason is, this wine is always real. If you have real wine, you are a real friend.
Even though Wuyun Spiritual Wine was brewed by Wuyun Palace itself, the output was not high. After the annual plum blossom appreciation banquet and trading, there was not much left in Wuyun Palace’s hands.
Ordinary little crow demons want to drink some to refine their demonic power and body. They can only wait until they are rewarded by the crow king for their meritorious service, or they can spend money to buy it.
For Crow Sixteen, being able to drink this dark cloud spirit wine is a rare and beautiful thing in the life of a demon.
As for what Crow Pioneer is planning to do by getting him drunk, he won't even think about it. He is a guard of the grass field. This ghost fruit is poisonous, and ordinary monsters will die if they eat it. Only a big monster like his own king can do this.
Grow poisonous fruit as a daily snack.
The crows in Wuyun Palace all know the medicinal properties of this ghost grass. They send themselves to guard the grass fields just because they are worried about unintelligent birds and beasts coming to steal food.
This Crow Pioneer should simply want to make friends with me. How did it discover this shining heart under its dull appearance? Could it be that this is the legendary awl in the bag? Sure enough, excellent monsters can't be found anywhere.
Buried.
Immediately, he flew to the plum forest not far away, picked up some blooming plum blossoms, and drank with Crow Pioneer.
First peck a plum blossom, let the fragrance of the flower fill the bird's beak, then take a sip of spiritual wine from the bottle, let the wine with the fragrance of plums flow into the belly with the plum blossoms, a winter chill mixed with the heat of the wine
The fragrance of plums and plum blossoms ripples through my body, which makes me feel really uncomfortable.
Du Kang also imitated Crow Sixteen and mixed the spiritual wine with plum blossoms and swallowed it into his belly. Suddenly, a strange spiritual energy of hot and cold spread from his abdomen to his whole body. The demonic energy on his body was stirred by the cold and heat.
The spiritual energy was slowly tempered and nourished, and the demon body became stronger and stronger.
Of course, this bottle of Wuyun Spiritual Wine was not a reward from the Crow King, but a personal collection of Crow Pioneer. Now it was taken out by Du Kang to attack the mobs in the Wuyun Palace dungeon.
After drinking the spirit wine, Du Kang felt a little regretful. This kind of spirit wine, which has an immediate effect on improving strength, seems to be too wasteful to use to attack the mobs.
But there is no turning back. Now that the plan has begun, we can only bite the bullet and continue.
The two demons came and went, and soon a bottle of spiritual wine was bottomed out.
At this time, Crow Sixteen suddenly became drunk. He staggered on the wall, spread his wings and danced. After a stiff dance, he fell down the wall and fell on the snow, with a confused murmur in his mouth.
language.
"Brother Pioneer, this is such a good wine, I will be you from now on..."
Du Kang, who had deliberately controlled his drinking, was still clear-headed. Seeing this scene, he jumped towards the ghost grass field.
