"In short, your task of going to the human world this time is to recover the 'Wuji Bead' within three years, and if you complete it on time, I will pass on the magic of the 'Yunhai Wuji' to you. The Demon Emperor leaned on the Nine Dragons chair quite casually, took the teacup offered by the waiter, took a sip of the foam with the lid of the cup.
"It's so easy. Li Xiao arrogantly raised his eyebrows, which were as black as ink, and took a sip of the teacup in his hand, "You can start the preparation of the method now." ”
"By the way, I forgot to tell you," the Demon Emperor smiled as if he suddenly remembered something, putting the half-drunk tea cup back on the tray of the waiter, "This tea has been soaked in blood, and it will continue to devour your demonic qi for three years, preventing you from revealing your identity in the human world." The disadvantage is that at the same time, you can't use demonic energy, and if you force it, you have to suffer from the retrograde of the bloodline for twenty-four hours every time. It's too easy and boring, right?"
The attendant behind Xiao silently lowered the corners of his eyes, can't use demonic energy? That is, he can't use any mana?
Lixiao, who froze with a cup: ..................
If you don't want to pass on the Fa, just say, do you have a son like you?
Late winter December, Huailiang Mountain.
The wind and snow are all over the sky, and the cold is like a front.
The north wind swept the snowflakes across most of Huailiang Mountain, and fell on the blue brick pavement of a dilapidated mountain temple at the foot of the mountain.
"My lord, Han Wei and they haven't come back yet, shouldn't something have happened?" Lin Qizhang, who was in a green robe, stood at the window, looking at the movement at the gate of the courtyard.
Zheng Ze did not respond, and sat on the stone bench with his eyebrows half-lowered, unhurriedly unfolding the map of Huailiang Mountain in his hand. The cyan trolling on his body was adorned with small miscellaneous patterns, no more and no less in diameter, exactly one inch and five minutes.
"The two of them went to hunt two hares and came back to drink, what could happen? You, you just can't sit still, right?" Dong Heng, who was fiddling with the charcoal brazier, interjected. The other two Jinyi guards who were wiping their knives couldn't help but snort slightly when they heard this.
"That can be guaranteed, what if that rabbit is so ferocious that it bites everyone?" Lin Qizhang said with a matter.
Dong Heng: ..................
Two brocade guards can't beat a rabbit?
Brother, have you never seen Jinyiwei or a rabbit?
"Adult, the little one is not nonsense, when I was a child, the little one saw a rat spirit kill four people and escaped, it is difficult to ensure that the rabbit of Huai Liangshan did not become a sperm!" seemed to recall the original scene and still have palpitations, Lin Qizhang paused, touched his forehead and said, "The Taoist chief I met yesterday also said that my heavenly court is dark, and I am afraid that in the next few days, I will bump into demonic things with blood and light!"
Dong Heng said curiously, "You didn't ask him for a way to crack it?"
"The Taoist gave me a talisman, saying that if I drank the talisman water, I would be fine. ”
"You drank?"
"I have to drink it!"
Zheng Ze shook his head at Lin Qizhang, his eyes worried, "It seems that the runic water has a deep effect, not to mention demons, even your brain is broken!"
Dong Heng and the rest of the people all laughed, Lin Qizhang scratched his head, "My lord, don't believe it, this demonic thing is not a small fabrication." Before coming out yesterday, the little one still heard from Xiao Liu that next month Lord Liu will open a new one, which will be called the evil temple. ”
Zheng Ze put down the map in his hand, "Evil Place?"
"But no," Lin Qizhang saw that Zheng Ze was interested, and immediately added fuel and vinegar, "It is said that he has quietly invited many Taoist priests to come back from all over the place, and he has jurisdiction over the matter of warding off evil spirits and eliminating filth." ”
When Zheng Ze heard this, he frowned slightly, there is no wind and no waves, this evil spirit ward off will not be built by Liu Lin on a whim, it must be the meaning of the one above, is it true that the fox demon came out of the East Palace last time?
Dong Hengda said grinningly, "It's good, in the future, when you encounter a clueless case, wouldn't it save effort to ask those Taoist priests to catch ghosts and come out for trial?"
"You two, let's study this map carefully, and when the army arrives, it's the right thing to rush up the mountain to save people. Zheng smashed the map in his hand into Lin Qizhang's arms, interrupting his wild nonsense.
They came to Huailiang Mountain on this trip, but they actually came to suppress bandits and save people. In the case of Caoyun corruption, Zhao Jian reported meritorious service and was summoned to Beijing, but he did not expect to be robbed by mountain bandits to the mountains on the way. When the news reached the capital, Long Yan was furious, and came to save people with brocade guards, and secretly issued another secret decree that the bandits in Huailiang Mountain must be eliminated. Whether it is a real mountain bandit, or someone wants to borrow a knife to kill people, in short, tomorrow, when the army of the right guard battalion arrives, this group of mountain bandits who have been entrenched in Huailiang Mountain for more than ten years are destined to disappear completely this time.
"My lord!" a green-robed figure walked all the way through the heavy snow, rushing over, Lin Qizhang hurriedly rushed over to help him open the door.
"My lord, it seems that something has happened to the bandit den on the mountain. Han Wei was covered in snowflakes, and the corners of his robe were dyed with cold.
Zheng Ze's eyes were slightly pale, "Something's wrong?"
Xiao and Xu Huai were inspecting the terrain of the bandit village nearby, and saw from a distance that there was a sudden chaos in the bandit village, and there were faint sounds of fighting and screams in the village. Xu Huai was still guarding the spot, and the little one came back first to deliver the news. ”
"Let's go, go over and have a look!" Zheng Ze immediately got up.
Dong Heng next to him hurriedly took the skin that was on the case, "My lord, put on the outer open first." ”
Lin Qizhang hurriedly followed behind with the map, but he was muttering in his heart, didn't he say that Han Wei and the others went to hunt rabbits?
Huailiang Mountain bandit village, corpses are everywhere, and the smell of blood is strong.
The one hundred and seven people in the entire stockade all bled to death.
The only two people at the scene were Zhao Jian, who fainted on the ground, and another young man in a black shirt. According to the location of the corpse on the ground, at the time of the incident, Zhao Jian and this young man seemed to be surrounded by more than 20 mountain bandits.
"Well, it's all settled! Lin Qizhang looked around and smacked his tongue frequently. Unexpectedly, someone helped to take care of this group of bandits in advance.
"Dong Heng, you immediately take someone to search it to see if there is any living mouth," Zheng Ze instructed Dong Heng, then stepped on a few dead corpses, reached out to probe Zhao Jian's snort, and saw that there was heat at the end of his nose, so he relieved himself and looked up at Xu Huai, "What's the matter?"
"My lord, at that time, the little one was a little far away, and I couldn't really see it, but I saw a few flashes of lightning-like red light, and there was no movement in the village. When the little one came, it was the scene in front of him, and only Lord Zhao and this person still had breath. Xu Huai hurriedly responded.
Zheng Ze half-lowered his eyes and moved his gaze to the young man next to him, "Do you know his identity?"
The young man's eyebrows are sharp and unruly, something seems to have been bumped under his right eye, leaving a faint red mark, and there is no hard callus on his slender fingers, so he looks like a pampered person. He didn't know what material his clothes were, they were like silk and satin, shining with a fine light, and the snowflakes could not gather on them.
Zheng Ze had a feeling that the slaughter of the bandit village in front of him might be related to this young man.
"This man didn't look like a mountain bandit, and the little one searched his body, except for the clothes, there was not even a jade pendant. Xu Huai replied cautiously.
In the end, the young man and Zhao Jian were sent to an inn in a nearby city to receive treatment from a doctor. Transported to the inn together, there were also hundreds of boxes of property that had been cleared from the cottage.
Three days later, the building was empty, and the young man quietly disappeared one night.
According to Zhao Jian, they were all locked up in the bandits' dungeon at that time, and at first the young man had been sleeping, but when he woke up, he pulled the chains on the door with his bare hands, which was amazing. After that, the two escaped together.
After that, a huge thunder fell from the sky, and they were all stunned.
"This person is definitely not simple. Zheng Ze picked off the lantern and said to Dong Heng.
"My lord, do you want to send someone out to get him back?"
Zheng Ze shook his head, "Forget it, if this extermination of the village is really done by him, it can be regarded as helping us, and besides, you are not his opponent at all." If he hadn't done it, there would have been no need to hold on to him. We're not idle to do. ”
On the roof ridge three streets away, Li Xiao sat on the roof boringly, "Hey, it's just a pearl in the night, and those mountain bandits are still regarded as treasures!"
Then, he knocked on the head of the white-haired sky fox beside him dissatisfiedly, "As a personal servant, how could you find me so late?"
Tianhu shook his ears lazily, without the slightest look of fear, "Your Highness, if you don't go east and go west next time, I promise to find you soon." ”
Lixiao: ..................
Half a year later, Luzhou, Jingsheng Palace.
Emperor Zhengcheng went to the palace to escape the summer, and Zheng Ze was also among his entourage.
On this day, Zheng Ze was on duty, and in the middle of the night, two black shadows floated over the top of the palace wall covered with glazed tiles.
"Who is it?" Zheng Ze swept up and ran after the black shadow towards the garden.
"There are assassins!" The Jinyi guards next to him immediately warned him, and the group protected Emperor Zhengcheng's dormitory, and another team of guards chased after Zheng Ze.
Zheng chased to the octagonal pavilion, only to see two black shadows lying on the ground, and another figure was about to escape.
"Want to escape?" Zheng drew his knife out of its sheath and slashed at the back of the figure's neck like a meteor.
"Hey, hey, it's the two on the ground who want to stab, not me. "Li Xiao retreated and covered his forehead in pain, this blood is too domineering, and he can't use a trace of demonic energy!
"Then why are you here?" Zheng slashed three times in a row. The two looked at each other, and Zheng suddenly felt that the person was very familiar. It's the guy I met in Huailiang Mountain!
He choked for a few seconds before gritting his teeth and saying, "...... Pass by. ”
Zheng Ze: ..................
In fact, I wanted to go to the Treasure Pavilion and went the wrong way!
Tianhu, who came to save his master, rolled his eyes, and the bulletist raised a piece of white smoke to take Li Xiao away from Zheng Ze's attack range.
