Watching a man and a woman go up the mountain, the three officials looked at each other, all of them looked helpless, but there was also some luck in their hearts, maybe they could really catch the mountain god?

"Chief, your whip is soft!" shouted to the man at the front, glaring.

The man slapped him on the shoulder and scolded: "Lao Tzu's whip is as powerful as a gun, and it is hard all year round!" When he lowered his head, he saw that the horsewhip that had been inserted in the stone had fallen to the ground softly, so he hurriedly walked over and picked it up, and laughed in his mouth: "So you are talking about this whip! What a master, how did he do it just now?"

"Boss, there's another person coming from behind, it seems that our brothers are here!" said another official, pointing behind him.

The leader hurriedly turned over and got on his horse, stood on the horse and looked back, and said, "Good girl, the prefect is here, hurry up and follow me to greet the lord!"

If there is no mountain demon appearing, Thunder Mountain can be regarded as the second largest tourist attraction in Thunder City. The mountain is full of green trees all the year round, although it is not too high, and it is not even the height of the mountain, but it is very steep, many places are straight up and down the mountain road, there are often people falling off the cliff in the past, but it can arouse the desire of those literati and ink writers to conquer!

In such a place, it is not uncommon for a monster to appear. It's just that this monster has become a monster, is it under the influence of the Great Demon Venerable? Or is there some other reason?

Now Xuanbao and Xiao Yin don't know if the demon queen has come here, because the spirit sparrow sent out by Xiao Yin has not even come back so far! This is also the reason why she insisted on coming to Thunder Mountain to take a look, I really don't know what this monster is, it has such an ability, and hundreds of spirit sparrows have been left on this mountain.

As soon as they went up the mountain, Xuan Bao and Xiao Yin both gave birth to a kind of vigilance, the aura on this mountain is not heavy, and the demons are generally like this, there is not much aura, but the demon aura is almost all over the mountain!

How powerful is this monster to have such an aura? Could it be that it is going to become a demon emperor? Xiao Yin whispered to Xuan Bao: "When the demon qi reaches a certain level, the demon will return to its roots, once it becomes the demon emperor, it will have no demon energy, and it doesn't even need aura, just like the Monkey King!"

Xuanbao asked her with a wary expression: "It means that the current mountain demon is almost at the level of the Demon Emperor?"

Xiao Yin shook her head: "I don't know! There are many ways to confuse people's minds in witchcraft, in order to add a sense of mystery to themselves, I don't know if these are these now, I have to see that monster!"

Both of them raised their vigilance and walked slowly up the mountain. Because he is not sure of the true location of the monster, his divine consciousness has not let go of every place.

From Zhou Tang's description, Xuan Bao also had a general understanding of this monster, and what made him most curious was how the monster kidnapped a big living person without a trace in front of everyone? Could it be stealth? If that's the case, then he might appear at any time, so be extra careful!

After taking two steps, Xiao Yin suddenly stopped, and Xuan Bao hurriedly grabbed her hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yin turned around, pointed to the back, and said to Xuanbao, "Someone is coming!" Xuanbao listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard a slight cough.

Who came up? Xuanbao wanted to avoid it, but when he thought about the domineering monsters, if he was too scattered, he would be fine, and the others might be in danger, so he stood still generously and looked at the group of people who caught up from the bottom of the mountain.

It turned out to be a group of officials, about thirty people, led by a man in his forties, with a big beard on his chin, a pair of eyes that are not big, but very spiritual, and his skin is red, a bit like a fisherman who blows the sea breeze all year round on the seaside, but the official robe on his body can see his identity, it is the prefect of this Thunder City, Hai Dasheng!

Even the prefect came, Xuanbao really couldn't turn around and leave regardless of it, arched his hands, and just thought about a few words of defense, he saw that Hai Dasheng also ignored the steepness of the mountain road, knelt on the ground, and said in his mouth: "Weichen Hai Dasheng, see the emperor!"

The emperor and queen? This pair of young men turned out to be the emperor and queen of the Xuan Dynasty? The officials behind Hai Dasheng were all dumbfounded! The official who had just whipped Xuanbao with a horsewhip had no blood on his face, and then his knees weakened, he knelt heavily on the ground, his body was crooked, and he rolled down the mountain!

Fortunately, after only a few steps, his body was supported, and the emperor, who was originally in front of them, was standing beside him at this moment, supporting his body with his hand, with a slight smile on his face, and said to everyone: "Flat!"

Where do everyone dare to stand up, this is the emperor and the queen, they may not be able to see each other a few times in their lives, and it is also an honor to kneel for a while at this moment!

Xuanbao helped the servant, then walked back to look at everyone, shook his head and said: "Hai Dasheng, tell your people to get up! This is not a temple, what do you kneel, it is important to hunt demons!"

There was no need for Hai Dasheng to command, and everyone stood up. The emperor's orders are non-stop, listen to the prefect, isn't this purely looking for trouble! An old man with a goatee coughed a few dry coughs for everyone, and everyone stood up.

Xuan Bao looked at Hai Dasheng a little strangely and said, "Why do you recognize me? Have you seen me before?"

"I've seen it, I'll see you every day!" Hai Dasheng looked solemn, looked at Xuanbao's strange appearance, and quickly explained: "I have a portrait of the emperor, not only me, but many colleagues have it, so I know the emperor's dragon face." As for recognizing the queen's mother, it was because the Guanhai Pavilion reported that the mother's rescue method was the same as that of the Yuanbao divine doctor back then, so he would have the courage to recognize him!"

This bearded man is actually a smart person! Xuan Bao and Xiao Yin looked at each other and smiled, glanced at everyone, and then sat on the goatee with their eyes, and said with a smile: "This is..."

The goatee hurriedly knelt down and said to Xuanbao: "Tell the emperor, the grass people are herding the city, thanks to the love of the prefect, he will serve as a clerk in the palace." ”

Hai Dasheng added on the side: "Actually, it's my master, who helps me with advice, if there is anything I don't understand, I like to find the priest!"

"Your Excellency has love!" the goatee arched his hand at Hai Dasheng, but did not stand up.

Xuan Bao didn't let him get up, but just restrained his smile, looked at him coldly and said, "Master Mucheng, the idea of sealing the Thunder Mountain and banning oral transmission is also from your hand, right?"

The body of Mu Cheng trembled, but he did not deny it, knelt down and bowed his head and said, "Yes!"

"I won't talk about the closure of the mountain, but why is it forbidden to pass on the word of mouth? If you don't tell everyone, it will kill a lot of people, do you know?" Xiao Yin said with Mu Chengzhi in a card.

Mu Chengzhi lowered his head and didn't dare to raise it, and kept saying in his mouth: "Please punish the emperor and queen! The villain is willing to be punished, and it has nothing to do with others!"

"Lao Mu, what are you talking about, how can I, Hai Dasheng, be a person who is afraid of death!" Hai Dasheng also knelt on the ground, looked at Xuanbao and said: "Your Majesty, although this was thought up by the master, but it was promulgated by me, if you want to punish it, let me, the prefect, bear it, they are just carrying out the order!"

Xuan Bao frowned and shook his head, looked at the group of people who knelt down again, sighed and said, "I'm not blaming you, I just need a reason! I want to hear why you are doing this! Master, you say?"

Hearing Xuanbao's words, Mu Chengzhi's body no longer trembled, raised his head, but he didn't dare to look at Xuanbao's eyes, lowered his head and said: "It's my selfishness! Leicheng is far from the inland, and I don't dare to open the sea ban, plus there are more mountains and rocks, and there is less land, so the livelihood of the people is very small, and it is also put on the cost of foreign guests to come here to play! The more people, the more the people of Leicheng will earn, but once the news of the Tianshan God is leaked out, no one in Leicheng will dare to come, and the people will have no livelihood and will not be able to support themselves!" ”

Hai Dasheng next to him also lowered his head and said: "Around this Thunder Mountain, the government has hired a sentry with a lot of money, and if someone comes here without permission, they will immediately tell the government that no tourists will be allowed to go up the mountain, and the violators will be punished! In this way, the affairs of the mountain gods will not affect outsiders, and there will be no need to tell them!"

Xuan Bao and Xiao Yin listened carefully and nodded incessantly. From their point of view, there is nothing wrong with this, so Xuanbao didn't get angry, and said to them: "Get up, let's catch this monster out today, and give the people of Thunder City a peace!"

Hearing that the emperor did not blame himself, Hai Dasheng and everyone were all relieved and stood up one after another. Mu Chengzhi was shocked and said: "The emperor is going to catch the mountain god? That's not good, it's too dangerous! Let's do these things, the emperor, please go down the mountain and wait for good news!"

Xuan Bao smiled slightly, looked at him and said, "You guys are here to do it, it's not that I estimate to hit everyone and deal with monsters, you don't have my skills! So it's you who should go down the mountain." ”

About the legend of this young Xuanhuang, almost everyone in the Central Plains has heard a lot. This three-year period from rising to the top is a legendary process in itself, coupled with his various means, it has simply replaced all the previous legends of the Central Plains, and has become the prototype of the story that the old man must tell his children before going to bed.

Especially the three servants who saw the emperor's extraordinary means just now, their eyes are full of worship at this moment, and they can't wait to treat the emperor as a god!

Hai Dasheng clapped his hands and said: "This way, Your Majesty, let's go up the mountain together, we are very familiar with the road, and we also know where the mountain god will often haunt, so it will not let the emperor waste his efforts!"

"Okay!" Xuan Bao nodded very dryly, waved his hand to everyone, and said, "Then let's go up the mountain immediately!" Hai Dasheng, Mu Chengzhi, you tell us more about the situation of this mountain god!"

Compared with Zhou Tang, the government has a much more detailed understanding of this mountain demon. According to Mu Chengzhi's account, there are still people who have seen the appearance of the mountain god, but to the government is saying that it may be made up a lot, not the real situation, or to be confirmed.

Legend has it that this mountain god is a man and a woman, the whole body is as black as charcoal, the face is hideous and terrifying, the mouth is full of fangs, there are three heads and six arms, the means are ferocious, and they eat men!

This kind of description also sounds a little false to Xuanbao, like Hai Dasheng and them, they think that it is made up by the people.

Xiao Yin frowned lightly, shook her head and said to Xuan Bao: "There is no wind and no waves, maybe there is an exaggeration, but there is always some reference value, I suspect that this is not a monster, but a spirit!"

Xuan Bao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yin and asked, "What do you mean, this is a fierce beast cultivated into a refinement? What kind of fierce beast will it be? I have never seen a fierce beast that eats men!"
