Chapter Seventy-Nine: The First Mission
Lord Xuanyu's eyes were full of suspicion, and she didn't hide it, she looked at Sheng Gray's eyes without blinking, trying to find out what Sheng Gray's purpose was in deceiving her.
But after watching it for a long time, Xuanyu only saw the word sincerity, and when she saw that later, Xuanyu's little brows gradually stretched, and she thought of Sheng Ash's personality before, and finally understood that Sheng Shen did not lie to her.
But this fact didn't make the Jade Lord much happier, but made her a little crazy.
She pouted and said, "Little Black Tan, don't blame me for doubting you, but I really can't believe what you say." You must know that monsters are all products of demonic energy, or infected, or born, in short, they are born from demonic energy, and demons are the best among monsters, and they are also the natural enemies of all living beings in the world. You say that you only know demonic energy, but you don't know monsters, demons, it's hard to believe. ”
Sheng Shen scratched his head, but he was not angry, he opened his mouth, wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to explain.
Lord Xuan Yu didn't wait for him to explain, but continued: "But little black charcoal, I still choose to believe you, and you have no reason to lie to me in this matter, otherwise, you won't even be able to say demonic energy, although this is illogical." ”
Sheng Shen smiled slightly.
"Everything about the demons is a very high secret, to be honest, I don't have much to tell you, and what I know is actually not much. I only know that the demonic energy that invaded the baby boy's body today can't actually be regarded as pure demonic energy. Pure demonic qi is unconscious, and this demonic qi, judging by its manifestation, is more like a low-level filthy demon. ”
"Filthy demons?" was the first time he had heard the word.
"Yes, the filthy demon is the lowest status of the demon race, and the low-level filthy demon is more like a demonic qi that has just given birth to a trace of consciousness, it only has the desire to pollute and devour all living things, it only has instinct, and it does not have any active thinking. If you think about it carefully, isn't it particularly similar to the mass of demonic qi just now?"
Lord Xuan Yu said.
Sheng Shen nodded, the manifestation of that cloud of demonic qi was indeed just like what the Jade Lord said, although it seemed to be actively designed in the end, but in fact, it was just an external manifestation of the instinct to possess Sheng Shen.
Otherwise, according to the means displayed by the demonic energy, such as the baby boy possessed by it, who can move freely among the locust trees, etc., it can produce more changes and be more difficult to deal with.
"Little black charcoal, I won't talk about it for the time being today, in short, if you encounter this kind of demonic qi again in the future, or, alas, just stay away, it's not something you can deal with. Lord Xuanyu admonished sincerely.
"Oh. Sheng Shen replied.
Do you want to stay away?
Sheng Gray did not refute the Xuanyu Lord, but in fact, he was quite disapprehensive in his heart, if he really wanted to stay away, why did he want to talk to Wang Yuan and Granny Liu, he just wanted to know where this demonic energy, or the low-level filthy demons like the Xuanyu Lord's mouth came from.
He had already deeply realized the benefits that the Yuan Demon Sutra had brought him, so he wanted more.
Where are more sources, naturally the more these demonic qi encountered, the better, only the more demonic qi, the more demonic source crystals, the first stage required by the Yuan Demon Sutra, the faster the progress of bone replacement, and the faster Xiao Hei's urging can be realized.
The most realistic benefit this brings to him is that the strength of his physical body will become stronger and stronger, much stronger than the extremely simple and subtle passive change of mana before.
In such a situation, how could he stay away?
Instead of staying away, they will take the initiative to come over.
Although he thought so in his heart, Sheng Shen did not lower his vigilance against the demons, and the tone of the Xuan Yu Lord when he spoke was extremely solemn, when he talked about the Demon Clan, it was much more serious than talking about those warriors, sword wielders, sword control monks, etc., which showed that in the eyes of the Xuan Yu Lord, the Demon Clan was really an extremely powerful creature or enemy.
In fact, this point is not difficult to verify, just from the lowly filthy demon he is fighting, it can be seen that the demon is by no means an easy character to deal with.
But it's not easy to deal with, it's not a reason not to deal with it, if you want to be strong, the Yuan Demon Sutra will never give up, and it is a technique that seems to be extremely effective for him at present.
"By the way, you haven't answered me yet, why do you want to know whether the baby boy was possessed by demonic energy when he was born, or whether he was possessed by demonic energy after birth? Lord Xuanyu suddenly asked.
Clever.
Sheng Hui secretly praised in his heart, and did not hide it, and said: "That's right, it's true. I'm kind of wondering where this is, well, the filthy demon coming from. ”
"What do you want to know about this?" asked the Jade Lord.
"Well, I don't know how to say it. Sheng Shen replied truthfully, this matter is related to the Yuan Demon Sutra and Xiao Hei, and he can't say it at all, so this sentence is really a true truth that can't be true.
"Again, huh. Lord Xuanyu's dissatisfaction was revealed again, her figure jumped, went directly to the roof, and walked towards Wanhuayuan, leaving only this sentence:" Xiao Heitan, Wang Yuan and Granny Liu have now been locked up by You Zhan, if you really want to know, I can't help it, I don't recommend you to ask Qiushu or Lou Yanxin, in that way, you will definitely not be able to escape being asked many questions, such as, how do you know about this, what are you going to do, etc., if you don't want them to know, I suggest that you can go and let your stunning little slave girl do this, it should satisfy you. ”
"Li Xinzhu?"
Sheng Shen didn't expect that Lord Xuanyu would actually let him go to her.
But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong, Li Xinzhu, as a spy carefully cultivated by the Northern Yan Kingdom, has been lurking in the Third Princess's Mansion for so many years, and has never been discovered by anyone, this time, if it weren't for the eagerness to pass the news back, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been detected by the Third Princess Qiushu.
And in this Liusheng County, Li Xinzhu has another layer of identity, that is, the middle-aged woman, from Li Xinzhu's words, it can be clearly heard that her identity at this level seems to have been operating in Liusheng County for a while, otherwise, it is impossible to have the VIP token on the Calyx ship, and she is not worried about losing the VIP token.
After a little deduction, Sheng Shen came to the conclusion that Li Xinzhu was very likely to be able to help in this matter, but Lord Xuanyu was much smarter than him, and he should have thought of this layer a long time ago.
Thinking of Li Xinzhu, Sheng was discouraged and found that her current location was in Wanhuayuan and she did not fall asleep.
"Li Xinzhu. Sheng Shen shouted in a soul voice.
"Yes, the little maid is here, please command. Li Xinzhu's respectful voice immediately came.
"There's one thing, see if you can help me do it. Sheng Shen said directly.
"Childe, please speak. ”
"Today in Wang Yuan's Mansion, there is a ghost fetus, do you know?"
"Childe also knew about this? The little maid heard about it, but it was getting late, and it had nothing to do with the child, so the little maid made the decision without reporting, what's the matter, the childe, is it related to this matter?" Li Xinzhu was a little surprised.
"Yes, Mrs. Wang Yuan was born, not a ghost fetus, but a baby infected and possessed by demonic energy. What I want you to do is to find out if this baby was born with demonic energy, or if he was infected and possessed by demonic energy after birth. If it is the latter, we must also try our best to find out the source of this demonic energy. You can do it?" said Sheng Gray.
Li Xinzhu was silent for a moment and asked, "Childe, can you tell me what demonic qi is, and how is this baby boy doing now?"
"I can't tell you what the demonic energy is for a while, in fact, I don't know much about it, you just need to know that it's a black mist-like thing. As for the baby boy, he is dead. Sheng Shen said.
"Okay, Childe, the little maid knows. The little maid is somewhat sure of this, but it will take a while, or half a day, or three days to know the result. ”
"Wait a while, aren't we going to leave soon?" said Sheng Shen with a frown.
"Yes, Gongzi, now Wang Yuan has been arrested in prison by Liusheng County Shou You Zhan, and many of the maids and slaves in his house have been arrested, and his wife who has just given birth is still in Wang Yuan's mansion, but there are also many county guards and pawns who are guarding at all times, so if you want to know what Gongzi ordered, slaves and maids do need some time. What's the matter, is Childe in a hurry?"
"This can't be described as a hurry, but you have to do it as soon as possible, besides, how do you know so clearly?"
Sheng Ash actually sighed a little, is this the ability of an elite spy of the Northern Yan Kingdom?
"This point is about to be reported to Childe, in the past few days in Liusheng County, the little maid inadvertently learned about a matter, which is related to Miss Xuan, I don't know if Childe wants to know?"
"Lord Xuanyu? Originally, Sheng Shen didn't want to know anything other than demonic energy, but as soon as he heard that it was related to Lord Xuanyu, he immediately became interested.
"Childe can know that in the neighborhood of Wang Yuan's mansion, there is a big family surnamed Zhou, and after coming to Liusheng County, Miss Xuan has actually been looking for things about this big family surnamed Zhou. ”
"Is there anything strange about this, maybe this family is an old acquaintance with her?"
"Old acquaintance? This is absolutely impossible, Miss Xuan is a member of the Southern Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty, and she is very far away from my Qiushui Kingdom, judging by her words and deeds, she should have never been to my Qiushui Kingdom, how can she be an old acquaintance with this big family surnamed Zhou?"
Li Xinzhu flatly denied it.
