Origin

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Wu Di and the old blind man both smiled. The old blind man smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want something edible or something inedible?"

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether you can eat it or not. The key is to have a powerful character, preferably a ferocious beast that is well known to the world. You can take advantage of this hunting to eliminate harm for the people and build a reputation."

The old blind man frowned and tilted his head, recalling and thinking. After a moment, he shook his head and continued to dwell on his memories.

"Sir, what did you think of?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

The old blind man didn't dare to hide it, "There really is one of those strange beasts that the Holy One mentioned, and I also know where it lives. It's just that the Holy One has already returned the Green Dragon Armor to Prince Li. He lost his composure in the air and went there rashly." , I’m afraid there will be more dangers.”

"That thing can fly?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned and tilted his head.

The old blind man nodded.

"What kind of strange beast can actually fly?" Wu Zhongyuan was curious.

"Has Your Majesty ever heard of Qiongqi?" the old blind man asked.

"I've heard of it," Wu Zhongyuan nodded and said, "This thing once invaded Da Kuang, and was driven away by a group of wizards led by Wu Hongru, then the master of Youbi Palace, in a bitter battle. This one is suitable, so I chose it."

"Does Your Majesty know this thing?" the old blind man asked again.

"I've heard of it, but never seen it," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "but not long ago I saw a tiger demon in the far north ice land. It was a tiger-shaped monster with two wings. Qiongqiu is Isn’t it somewhat similar to them?”

The old blind man shook his head and said, "I have never seen the tiger demon mentioned by the Holy Spirit. I don't know what kind of monster it is, but I have seen Qiongqi. This thing is the most ferocious beast in ancient times. It appeared in Xuanhuang and wreaked havoc in the prehistoric times. , the main body is seven feet long, and the tail is three feet. It is born with the head of a tiger and a leopard tail, dragon claws and a body of a lin. It is born with red eyes, and its fur is as black as ink. It has a pair of white bone wings on its back, and its heels break through the air, and it comes and goes like the wind."

After the old blind man finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan frowned. According to the old blind man's description, Qiongqi's body shape was not big, much smaller than the tiger demon. At seven feet, it was only over two meters, not much bigger than a calf.

"What capabilities does this thing have?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

The old blind man coughed twice and cleared his throat, "Not to mention being strange, ferocious and cruel, there are also three major super powers. First, this object can change its shape. Although it cannot change its shape, it can change its size. Second, it can change its shape. Firstly, this thing is endowed with extraordinary talents and has the ability to heal itself after being injured. Thirdly, the bone wings on the back of this thing have the ability to break through the air, and it can fly very fast, which is difficult for ordinary birds to match."

"Oh~" Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly.

Hearing the strong curiosity in Wu Zhongyuan's tone, the old blind man guessed what he was thinking and hurriedly said, "Qiongqi is born from the anger of violence. He is violent and likes to kill. He is so vicious that there is no possibility of capturing him. Your Majesty must never try to conquer him."

"Why not?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

The old blind man said, "To use the seven-aperture psychic ability, you need to have a telepathic connection with your natal soul, your subordinates and your mount. This thing is very dangerous. If you are telepathically connected with it, I am afraid it will affect the saint's benevolence and righteousness."

"Affects one's character?" Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and asked with a smile, "Is this your guess, or is it true?"

"Qiongqi is an ancient ferocious beast. There is only one of its kind in the world. No one has dared to control it since ancient times. There is no evidence of it. It is just speculation." The old blind man changed the topic at this point, "But in his early years, If you ever try to control other ferocious beasts, your mentality will indeed be affected by their cruelty."

"Is it affected by induction control, or is it also affected by it at ordinary times?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Of course, you can only feel the anger of Wu Zhongyuan when you control him." The old blind man sighed. He sighed because he knew very well what Wu Zhongyuan would do next.

As expected, Wu Zhongyuan did not disappoint the old blind man, "Don't say whether it will affect your xinxing is still open to question. Even if it does promote hostility, just don't use it on weekdays. Come on, come on, take me there quickly. There are two things about this thing." We are all in Dakuang, so we are heading north, right?"

The old blind man sighed and nodded.

Before Wu Zhongyuan could speak, Wu Di ordered the Eagle King to move in the direction of Da Kuang.

"Your Majesty, Qiongqi is a very dangerous thing, ferocious and cruel. You are a body of ten thousand gold and are connected with all the people. You must not be put in danger." The old blind man was worried and discouraged.

After the old blind man finished speaking, Wu Di said, "What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. Before the hunt, you also warned us not to be greedy for success and risk our lives..."

"Okay, okay," Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand to interrupt Wu Di, "Okay, let's go over first and see if we want to kill or capture him. We will decide accordingly."

The old blind man was still worried, "Your Majesty, this thing is as ferocious as an unusual and ferocious beast. You must not take it lightly."

"Wu Hongru led the crowd to drive this thing back that day, so it must not be much more powerful," Wu Zhongyuan said casually, and then hurriedly added, "Don't worry, I will be careful and will not underestimate the enemy."

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had made up his mind, the old blind man and Wu Di stopped trying to persuade him, but there were worries on their faces.

"Sir, I just said half of what I said. How big can Qiongqi become at its maximum? How small can it become at its minimum?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

The old blind man replied, "According to legend, the angrier this thing gets, the bigger its shape becomes. When I saw it back then, it was in a man-eating frenzy, and its body was five feet long. When it destroyed the village, it fluttered its wings and left. The body shrunk back to the size of only seven feet."

Hearing the words of the old blind man, Wu Zhongyuan immediately thought of the Hulk, but Qiongqi's situation was different from that of the Hulk. The size of Qiongqi's body was determined by his anger. The angrier he was, the bigger his body was. variable.

"Can its shape get any smaller?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"Not sure." The old blind man was annoyed and worried. What was annoying was that when Wu Zhongyuan asked about it earlier, he shouldn't have mentioned Qiongqi. The worrying thing is that Wu Zhongyuan has shown strong curiosity about Qiongqi. Although he said that he would act according to the situation in the past, once he gets to the place, Wu Zhongyuan will definitely use his seven orifices to try to capture him.

Wu Di said, "Qiongqi has caused harm many times. If the Holy One can get this thing, not only will he get his favorite mount, but he can also eliminate harm for the people and increase his prestige. It will kill two birds with one stone. But Qiongqi has the ability to heal itself, and he also has the ability to heal himself." Flying Bone Wings, although we have the help of the golden eagle, the golden eagle is not as magical and convenient as the green dragon armor. When we get to the ferocious beast's lair, the Holy One must be careful, lest we get in trouble and be unable to get off the tiger."

"Haha," Wu Zhongyuan smiled, "Can it heal its body and soul?"

As soon as these words came out, the old blind man and Wu Di were convinced. They had previously ignored Wu Zhongyuan's Yin-Yang sword. This Yin-Yang sword could not only kill the body, but also kill the soul and spirit. This Yin-Yang sword The sword is truly a heaven-defying existence. With it in hand, Wu Zhongyuan is able to do whatever he wants.

Because he was in a hurry, Wu Di ordered the golden eagle to fly north as quickly as possible. He arrived at the boundary of Da Kuang in the early afternoon. Wu Di suggested, "Your Majesty, this place is not far from Yuan City. Wu Baiye knows a lot about that ferocious beast. Let's You might as well go see him first.”

Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Speaking of Cao Cao and Cao Cao's arrival, Wu Di just mentioned Wu Baiye, and Wu Baiye appeared. Today, the entire Central Plains area is hunting, and Wu Baiye is no exception. Wu Baiye was Wu Junyue's deputy. On that day, Wu Junyue got the dragon colt from the Ma clan. A gray-haired dragon colt was given to him. At this time, Wu Baiye was riding the dragon colt to hunt from a distance.

When the two of them saw Wu Baiye, Wu Baiye also saw the golden eagle and the three people on its back, and immediately rode a dragon colt to see him, "My subordinate Wu Baiye, I have seen Da Wu, and I have seen Wu Di Taixuan."

Wu Baiye's title was very irregular. After all, Wu Zhongyuan had only been on the throne for a short period of time, so the title could not be changed immediately. Wu Zhongyuan did not care too much. In fact, even he himself was not very used to the new title, although he had already decreed that the old blind man should be called As Prime Minister, he is still accustomed to addressing himself as Mr.

"Wu Baiye, has Qiongqi come here to cause trouble in recent times?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Back to the Holy Spirit, that ferocious beast has not come recently." Wu Baiye shook his head.

"We are going to conquer Qiongqi, do you want to go with us?" Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and looked at Wu Baiye. Dakuang is an important border town to the north of the Bear Clan. It has a vast territory and sparsely populated areas. It is also the most frequently infested by ferocious birds and beasts. Wu Baiye, this The job of the city lord is relatively hard, and he is busy resisting the enemy and providing disaster relief all day long. He is less than sixty years old, but he looks like an old man in his seventies or eighties.

"Ah?" Wu Baiye stared in shock.

"Ah what?" Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile, "Qiongqi has been causing harm for a long time. If you get rid of him earlier, you can also get rid of the inner trouble."

"Your Majesty, you don't know. That Qiongqi is very cruel. Are you fully prepared?" Wu Baiye asked.

Wu Zhongyuan asked instead, "Do you know where Qiongqi's lair is?"

"In Baigu Ridge." Wu Baiye answered.

"Sir?" Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at the old blind man.

The old blind man nodded, indicating that what Wu Baiye said was correct.

"Let's go, let's talk on the way." Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand.

God Wu Di instructed the golden eagle to move north, while Wu Baiye rode a dragon pony and ran five feet away on the right.

The golden eagle is very hostile to the dragon colt and chirps in demonstration from time to time. Although the dragon colt is small, it is not afraid. It will occasionally neigh, which is very provocative. Although its mother is a horse and its father is a black dragon, its courage is extraordinary and can be compared to horses.

Under the control of Wu Di and Wu Baiye, the Golden Eagle and the Dragon Horse only barked twice occasionally, which did not affect the conversation between Wu Zhongyuan and Wu Baiye.

Wu Baiye once had close contact with Qiongqi, and his description of his form was basically consistent with that of the old blind man. In Wu Baiye's view, Qiongqi was an invincible existence. Not only was he powerful and terrifying in combat, but he also moved quickly. The most important thing is that he cannot be beaten to death.

Qiongqi will eat people every time he comes over, but he doesn't eat much. His temperament is somewhat similar to that of weasels and mice. Even if he is full, he will kill a few more.

There were fewer characters in ancient writing, and there were not many pronunciations in the language. The name Qiongqi should actually be "fierce Qi". There are two reasons why it is called Qiongqi. First, the appearance and shape of this animal are very strange. The second reason is that it has a strange habit. It rarely attacks people walking alone. It only attacks people in groups, and its targets are not limited to people. It also kills animals, especially in spring. , Qiongqi will hunt and kill those animals seeking mates everywhere.

Regarding Qiongqi's strange behavior, Wu Baiye believed that it was caused by its loneliness. Qiongqi had no similar kind, so he couldn't see others in groups.

"It has never attacked a lone person or a lone beast?" Wu Zhongyuan asked to confirm.

"As far as I know, no." Wu Baiye shook his head.

Wu Di said, "It knows how to pity each other, which shows that there is a kind side in its heart."

Wu Zhongyuan cast an approving look at Wu Di. What Wu Di said was exactly what he was thinking.

But Wu Baiye did not agree with Wu Di's statement, but due to his identity, he did not refute it.

"How was Wu Hongru's battle against Qiongqi that day?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

As soon as Wu Zhongyuan said this, Wu Baiye frowned and curled his lips, but stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wu Baiye sighed and shook his head, "How can they be Qiongqi's opponents? They always wait until Qiongqi has retreated and then come back. Even if they use the fury of thunder, they just drop thunder and lightning into the air. This is not a way to resist the enemy. It is clearly a farewell with gongs and drums... …”
