Chapter 404: One Careless Move
Ci Hao interrupted and said, "You old flower bird, not only do you have no hair on your butt, but you also have shit in your brain! This kid is traveling with me and the ugly monster. Where else can he go except to Zichen Peak?"
Qicaique looked back and said angrily: "I didn't ask you, why are you butting in?!" He then turned to ask Chu Xiaomu: "Little brother, tell me where you are going?" Then he poured him another glass of wine.
Chu Xiaomu said: "We are going to Zichen Peak to see the Queen Mother."
The colorful bird was surprised and said, "I just said that you city dwellers are not allowed to pass by at will."
Chu Xiaomu asked: "Why is that?"
Qicai Que said, "The Queen Mother has been in a bad mood since she came back from Bu Jianfeng. We can't go there easily. She will be very angry if we see her. You are from the city, so you must not provoke her. If she gets very angry, she might even kill you."
Chu Xiaomu had heard White-haired Old Ape and Leopard Dianzi talk about the Queen Mother's temper, and knew that she was extreme and easily angered, but he had come prepared because of what the ancestor said, and thought that she would not do anything to him. So he said, "This matter is of great importance, I must see the Queen Mother."
The colorful bird asked hurriedly: "What is the important matter?"
Chu Xiaomu smiled and kept silent.
The colorful bird sighed, feeling somewhat bored.
Ci Hao couldn't help but say, "The Crow Lady said that a very powerful person would come to the Unseen Peak in the next few days. It seems that she wants to make things difficult for the Queen Mother, so she invited us to go to the peak to help. Didn't you, Old Flower Bird, receive the message?"
Qicai Que glared at him and said, "Of course I got it. Otherwise, why would I be preparing to go out?"
Ci Hao was stunned, thinking that the old flower bird did say such a thing. It seemed that there was shit in his brain as he did not guess it.
But then he heard Ugly Pig saying outside the house: "Brother Qicai, which powerful person do you think is going to Zichen Peak? Could it be that guy Bi Ye?" Firstly, he was too dirty, and secondly, the entrance to the wicker house was too small, so he could not come in. He could only find a place to sit outside the house.
The colorful bird said, "I don't think so. Right now, the three tribes of Chisha, Ya, Hoof, and Claw, are attacking Bicheng in a big way. I heard that Bicheng has been captured. He can't even protect himself. Why would he come here to cause trouble for the Queen Mother?"
Ugly Pig said: "Maybe he wants to capture the Queen Mother and take her down the mountain to have her drive the people of Chisha Country away."
When Ci Hao heard this, he immediately shouted, "You ugly, smelly pig, you really have shit in your brain! If Bi Ye wanted the Queen Mother to help him drive away the Chisha people, he would have gone up the mountain to beg her. Why would he make things difficult for her?!"
But Ugly Pig said, "That's not necessarily true..." Ci Hao was so angry that he almost jumped up.
Chu Xiaomu originally thought that this ugly pig was the most normal beast spirit in the Beast Mountain, but he didn't know that was not the case.
Qicai Que said: "I guess the most likely person is from the Red Sand Country, but I don't know which of their four major tribes he is from."
Chu Xiaomu thought that the most likely person was someone from Chisha Country, so he said, "Maybe the Chisha people were afraid that Beast Mountain would help Bicheng, so they came to Zichen Peak to embarrass Queen Mother so that she would give up this idea."
Ci Hao said: "This is impossible. Beast Mountain and Bicheng have not had any contact for more than two hundred years. How can we help them?" These were not unpleasant words.
Chu Xiaomu said: "You and I both know that Beast Mountain and Bicheng are not on good terms, but the Chisha Nation doesn't know."
Ci Hao was speechless for a moment, and probably felt that what he said made sense.
Ugly Pig said: "Could it be that the people of Chisha Country want to capture the Queen Mother to deal with Bi Ye?" Several people ignored him.
Qicai Que agreed greatly with Chu Xiaomu's words, picked up the glass of wine that had been poured long ago and handed it to him, saying, "Little brother, what you said is very insightful. Come, I'll toast you a glass."
Chu Xiaomu thought, what's the point of this sentence? He took the wine glass and drank it all.
I was very confused. The previous glass of wine was cool and refreshing, but why did this one burn my throat?
Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly felt dizzy and fell headfirst onto the table...
Chu Xiaomu woke up in a daze.
I opened my eyes slightly and found myself in a large stone cave. The light in the cave was dim and I didn't know whether it was day or night.
He tried to get up by holding up his hands, but found that he couldn't move his hands and feet. He looked down and saw that his body and feet were tied with dense ropes.
He knew that he had fallen into the trap of the Seven-Colored Bird. He felt very regretful, thinking that although the beast spirits in the Beast Mountain had strange tempers, they were all kind and honest spirits who would not do anything to harm people. However, he did not know that this was not the case.
It seems that I have to be more careful in the future and not eat anything that the beast spirits put in my mouth.
Then he thought, you three guys know that I am strong, so you tied a lot of ropes around me. But do you think that just a few ropes can trap me? They underestimated me, Chu Xiaomu. He activated his Qi Sea and released his Force, intending to break the ropes tied around his body.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside. One of them said, "You can ask questions if you want to, but why did you arrest my good brother? Let him go!" It was the ugly pig.
Another person said, "He is your good brother, so how can I not be one? If we don't catch him, will the people in this city obediently do what we say?" It was the colorful bird who liked to dress up as a woman.
Another person said, "You, old Huaque, are quite skilled. You actually poisoned him with wine. But don't poison him to death. I promised him that I would take him to Zichen Peak to meet the Queen Mother. After that, I will not stop you if you want to kill me." Who else could it be but Ci Hao?
The colorful bird chuckled and said, "What wine? That's my male and female water. You, with your stinky mouth, actually want to drink it."
Ci Hao laughed and said, "No wonder that kid fell down after two glasses of wine, you old flower bird are really mean!"
Although Chu Xiaomu didn't know what male and female water was, he couldn't help but feel his stomach churning when he heard the name. He almost vomited, but tried his best to hold it back. He thought to himself, no wonder it didn't taste like wine.
Ugly Pig said: "You...you wouldn't poison him to death, would you?!" His voice sounded quite anxious.
The colorful bird said: "The male and female water is not poison. Many people in the city have bought it and regarded it as a treasure. Don't worry, we just knocked him out so that he can do something for us."
Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but feel angry. He thought to himself, if you want me to help you, just tell me. Why do you have to use such a trick? If I can help, I will. If I can't help, I won't help you even if you kill me!
While he was thinking, three beast spirits walked in.
Chu Xiaomu quickly closed his eyes and pretended not to wake up yet, to see what other tricks they had.
