But in any case, the group finally reached their destination, and as for the rest of the matter, it was left to Ono to take care of himself.

It's just that Emperor Yang Guangke hasn't planned to meet them yet, he has been busy with the northern tour recently, but he hasn't had time to care about these envoys from nowhere.

So, in the dead of night, the two of them began to observe the inside of the palace, unexpectedly, but also in line with the actual situation, there were not many Taoist priests in the palace.

The Imperial Palace, blessed by the aura of a true dragon, is impossible to let a group of monsters go in and out at will.

Just a round trip away. The next day, Zi fell ill and did not threaten her life, but she couldn't run to the palace in the last two days, and according to her own judgment, her demonic power was not only emptied, but even couldn't recover in the past two days.

In other words, she is no different from a mortal. Erli is fine, but most of her magic power has been drained, but the whole thing is also lazy and can't lift her spirits.

However, the two of them had at least discovered the location of the inner library, and as for the inside, they had not yet looked at it, because it was almost dawn, and the palace was too big.

As for the next day, they stayed in the inn. The Zituo people went to buy a map, carefully looked at the territory of the Sui Kingdom, and then collected information from various places to consider where to stay and practice.

And Erli wrote down the words "Nanshan Cunning Dream", asking someone to ask what it means, at least leaving it to the locals to solve, which is better than smearing her own eyes.

As for Chang, she was glued to Erli's side, and she didn't mean to leave at all, and she also understood that in a few days, Erli would be separated from her.

Things seem to be back to the way they were before, the little guy can't let go for a moment, although he won't feel the despair of being abandoned like before, but the way he immediately bursts into tears can't reassure Elle herself.

"It's huge...... If Luoyang is just here, then there are unimaginably many cultivation places to choose from..."

After just a cursory look, Zi had her own plans and estimates, such a huge world, so there were naturally many dangers and opportunities encountered.

Even if you don't know many Chinese characters, with Erli's rough introduction, the exploration of demon law, the unknown of immortal arts, the mystery of Taoism, the holy light of Buddhism, and the unknown Western Regions and grasslands are enough for you to see countless knowledge.

"But there are also a lot of dangers, and there are powerful monsters everywhere here...

Also, Purple, pay more attention to the recent human situation, there may be a big change. ”

"Hmm... I know. ”

In trust, she didn't ask the other party why she said that, on the other hand, she herself felt a little strange, especially the feeling of illness, but as for the specific reason, she didn't know.

Instead of being skeptical, it is better to assume that an unknown threat exists, at least in the future, there is still a chance to be prepared.

"Then again, Purple, how long are you going to recover?"

"Full recovery? It's probably going to take four or five days......"

As he was talking, there was a knock on the door, followed by the other party's inquiry.

"Lady Yakumo is here?"

After quietly translating, all three of them turned their eyes to the door.

"Who are you?"

"In the Shimoyanagi clan, Ren Taibu is in the position.

The day before yesterday, Mrs. asked about the 'Nanshan Cunning', and I came to inquire about it. ”

The voice was old, but it was serious. Feeling something, Ellie went and opened the door.

In front of him was an old man in a red shirt, who looked like he was forty or fifty years old, with a serious expression, wide cuffs folded together, and two rolls of bamboo slips in his arms.

“？ In that case, why bother to ask an adult to come and ask someone to send a letter? ”

Seeing this, Erli was a little surprised, as for this kind of thing, should the officials ask about it?

"I take the liberty to bother, but there are really three or two details, I want to ask Madame."

"Well, please come in first, Lord Yanagi.

The head of the family has been feeling unwell recently, please understand. ”

"It's rude."

After bowing slightly, Liu Taibu walked into the house, and Zi had just gotten up at this time, wearing only a white dress, and walked into the living room.

"I don't know... What should this Yakumo-sama be called? ”

As soon as he sat down, he put down the black hat on his head, and when he saw the male purple, he immediately got up and saluted the other party.

"Yakumo Zi, it's just that the head of the family doesn't understand the official language, and I'm afraid I can't discuss specific matters with you.

Chang, stay with Dad. Purple, if you're not in good health, go back first, it's human. ”

The latter paragraph was in Japanese, and Liu Taibu naturally didn't understand what the other party said, only to see the pale-faced Lord Yakumo nodding to her, and then took the child behind Mrs. Yakumo back to the house.

"If you don't mind, I can ask Taichang to send the Imperial Doctor to Lord Yakumo......"

"No need... It may be that the water and soil are not adapted, and today I have suffered a little wind.

It's just, my lord, what you said earlier ......"

Putting aside the possible risk of exposure, Erli asked the other party to clarify the purpose of her coming, and Liu Gongshi was also stunned for a moment, and then spread out the bamboo slip in his arms and asked.

“… Madame has been to Dasui before? ”

“… Haven't been here. ”

"When and where did the lady learn about the four characters?"

Erlie's answer made the old man's expression even more gloomy, as if the news he had received was even more disturbing. But after that, he relaxed a little

"The day before yesterday, I picked up a white bone from the soil, and for some reason, after washing it, I found these four words engraved on it. It's just that I don't know what this means, so I hereby ask someone to ask the ear. ”

"Ma'am, have you seen anything else unusual?"

She thought about it, it was impossible to hand that strange thing to herself a bone, and she said it, so Ellie pretended to think for a moment, and said.

"There's nothing special."

“…… No one saw its true body, but it was carved from bone. ”

"My lord, what do you mean by that?"

The old man pushed the two bamboo scrolls in front of Erli, and they just recorded the record of the sharp decline in the population of various places due to labor at the time of the appearance of the cunning.

"Cunning is an inauspicious thing, and wherever it comes, the people will suffer great calamity.

It seeks food in summer, and burrows in winter.

And today, Mrs. asked about the cunning, and before the summer came out, it was really a big murderer.

Dare to ask where Madame was yesterday? ”

"In Rongyang County, near the official road."

Erlie thought for a moment and said truthfully.

"So, there's still something important to deal with next, so I'm sorry."

With that, he picked up the hat and bamboo slips on the table, and after arranging his clothes, he saluted Ellie and hurried away.

"Strange people ......"

I don't know if the beast didn't tell him, if it's a good thing or a bad thing......
