The young man sat opposite a robed Taoist, with two beards, phoenix eyes and willow eyebrows, squinting and drinking tea, smelling the young man's voice, he replied indifferently, "We are just passing through here, why bother with more branches, don't pay attention to it." ”

"If there is a demon, why don't you get rid of it? Didn't Master see that the people in this city were in misery?"

The Taoist stopped the tea on his lips, "Then do you know the Heavenly Demon?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes, sat up straight and stopped looking at the disturbance under the window, took a piece of osmanthus cake on the plate angrily, and took a bite of it hatefully. Muttered while eating,

"How could the Heavenly Demon come to harm mortals, it's obviously ......"

"Obviously, I am greedy for life and afraid of death for the teacher, and I dare not offend the big demon!" The Taoist twisted his beard and smiled slightly, "Yes and no?"

The boy stopped talking, just drank tea with his head bored, and his thoughts were seen through, which made him very unhappy. Since they are cultivators, they should naturally have all sentient beings in their hearts, and they should help the world, and if they are hindered by any heavenly demon or not, it is really against the mandate of heaven.

"What is a heavenly demon, do you remember?" the Taoist saw the young man's face resentful, and said softly,

"Yes. The young man wanted to refute, but seeing Lao Dao's face, he had to answer in a low voice.

"Since you remember, then there is no need to say more, let's hurry up and get out of the city after the tea is eaten, there is still a lot of way to get to Yecheng here. The Taoist took another sip of the tea in the cup, and then took the young man out of the teahouse.

Out of the door, the young man looked back at the door plaque, "Yu Cui Xuan", no teahouse in Liangdian dares to casually take the word "Yu" as the name, unless this is given by Emperor Liang today, which is why in this disaster year, this is still capable, or there is water to continue to operate this huge teahouse. There are a few people in the teahouse, all of them are children of the world, this pair of master and apprentice can be said to be very abrupt, the Taoist is named Tang Ning, which is slightly famous in Liangzhou, and enters the world as the Tao, except for demons and demons, and everyone is called "Master Ning Yuan" , but I don't know that it is just a casual cultivation, and the cultivation has only reached the peak of the twelfth layer of Qi training, but it is also a leader in this Liangzhou, and the young man behind him is called Liu Zhao, who can be regarded as the closed disciple of Master Ning Yuan, and the abandoned baby adopted by Tang Ning fourteen years ago, although it is a master and apprentice, but maybe the relationship between father and son is more. The two of them walked slowly towards the south gate of the city, the market well was very depressed all the way, most of the shops were closed, and there were only a few men hurrying to the north of the city to draw water on the way. Liu Zhao followed Tang Ning's footsteps and could no longer bear to look at it, although he only had the cultivation of the second layer of Qi training, he could also detect that the closer he got to the imperial city in the south of the city, the stronger the demonic aura in the air became.

"Master, with such a powerful demonic aura, I'm afraid this Emperor Liang is not a once-in-a-lifetime tyrannical king, right?"

"Heavenly Dao Mo asked" Tang Ning replied indifferently, but he was also surprised in his heart, such a pure demonic qi, in this Liangdian Imperial City, must be an extremely powerful demon clan among the heavenly demons, and his cultivation must not be below him. It seems that Liangdian Kingdom is going to be ruined this time.

"But the mortals in this city..."Although Liu Zhao was stunned by this demonic aura, he still couldn't bear it. Lao Dao stopped and touched his shoulder, sighed, and said,

"They have their fate, even if you and I interfere, it won't help, what's more..."Tang Ning glanced at the faint purple qi in the sky above the imperial city, sighed in his heart, took Liu Zhao's hand, and sped up the pace of moving forward.

After passing through the last piece of mansion, the two finally saw the south city gate from a distance, and the south city gate at this time was also crowded, no less than the people at the north city gate.

"Give me silence!" I saw a crowd of armored soldiers at the city gate, and a man in a gray robe stood in the middle of the city gate, shouting in a sharp voice: "The queen mother's decree, no one is allowed to leave the city today!"

"Why?" "I have an urgent matter to go to Yecheng today, and if I am delayed, I will lose a lot!" Several bold people in the crowd couldn't help shouting, the crowd heard that they were not allowed to go out of the city, and when they heard someone's voice, they were even more uproaring, "We want to go out of the city!" "Yes! We want to go out of the city!"

The corner of the gray-robed and purple-shirted man's mouth twitched slightly, he adjusted his eyes and gestured to the gatekeeper, and said in a sullen voice: "Are you impatient?" When the soldiers in the city heard this, they all unsheathed their waist knives slightly, and made a solemn sound, which frightened everyone into silence.

Thinking that Emperor Liang has been on the throne for more than 30 years, Liangdian has always been a scene of national peace and political clarity. Ten years ago, a national policy of advocating commerce turned this small southern country into a commercial and trade hub connecting Zhongzhou, Nanliang and Anxi, and Yecheng, the country's second largest city, has become an important hub for this trade route. Under the emperor, all the powerful ministers are rich, and the merchants are highly respected in Liangdian, which is why many businessmen gathered at the south gate at this time dare to shout with confidence after hearing the queen's decree.

Tang Ning and the others came to the front, seeing the noisy crowd, they couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, so there is no way to leave Liangcheng from here, they can only go back to the north of the city, from the north gate out of the city, now the whole Liangdian is in turmoil, even the Jingshi Liangcheng is so chaotic, there is no prosperity and order in the past, Tang Ning sighed secretly, I don't know what Emperor Liang did to make the heavenly demon take action, cholera its country. He was about to take Liu Zhao back, but his feet froze, and a faint fluctuation of spiritual power made him look down and investigate, it was a little finch covered in scars, lying quietly on the side of the street like that. If it weren't for the slightly demonic spiritual power that Tang Ning, who was very sensitive to spirits, would have noticed it, I'm afraid that no one would have discovered this dying little demon. Liu Zhao also saw this little finch in the master's sight, and couldn't help but say, so he went to the side of the street and held it back with both hands.

"Master, is this a demon?" Liu Zhao looked at the bird in his hand, and asked with some reluctance, the little finch is only the size of an ordinary sparrow, but the color of its feathers is a hint of golden light compared to ordinary birds, and there is also a red color between its beak and eyes, which is much more delicate.

"Well, the brocade finch that becomes a demon" Tang Ning frowned, the finch's essence is rare, not to mention that this is a rare brocade, it is even rarer, judging from the fluctuation of spiritual power, this demon cultivation is not weak, but why is it seriously injured so much?
