A group of people walked in the mountains and forests, their footsteps did not stop, and they walked for more than an hour, but they still did not get out of the mountains. Li Wanru, the little girl, also gritted her teeth, supported each other with her mother, and followed Qi Taoliu in front of her without saying a word. Luo Han walked at the end, looking at the little girl, and admired her perseverance, but he was busy cleaning up the traces of everyone's walking, and he didn't take the initiative to carry it again.

Li Wanyue, who was suddenly walking in the arms of Liu Nian, who was at the forefront, let out a scream and pierced the night sky. Liu Nian stepped out suddenly, kicked a long snake that suddenly appeared, and then put down Li Wanyue, covering her mouth with one hand.

"What's going on?" Luo Han heard a voice behind him and asked.

Liu Nian said: "There was a snake that came out and scared the little girl. ”

Luo Han frowned: "Let her be quiet and get out of here quickly." ”

"Gegege...... Can you walk away? If you have hurt my disciples and my children, pay it with your flesh. Before Liu Nian could answer, a female monster with a snake tail appeared from the front, staring at the group with a strange smile, and she was followed by a dense group of snakes, looking very crazy.

When a few little girls saw this kind of monster, they couldn't help but gasp, but a few older children were quite calm, and Qi Tao also covered Li Wanxin's mouth in time and didn't scream.

Luo Leng said coldly: "I didn't expect that there would be monsters who wanted to eat people in places where the human race gathered. Aren't you afraid that the monks will come to subdue demons? ”

The snake demon said nonchalantly: "This king has been cultivating here for five hundred years, but he has never seen any monks. In this deep mountain and old forest, it is common to eat a handful of people, and others only think that they are devoured by tigers and leopards, how can they think that it is the hand of this king? If you are willing to be the face of this king and serve this king well, this king can spare you from death, how about it? ”

Luo Han smiled, this monster is not very good, but the king of this is very smooth. "If you're completely transformed, maybe you can let me think about it, but your snake tail is too much of an eyesore, I'll cut it off for you."

When the words fell, a sword light flashed, and the snake demon screamed, and half of the snake's body was broken. Under the severe pain, the snake demon didn't have time to think about why the other party was so strong, and when she opened her mouth, it was a mouthful of poisonous mist, but who knew that a gust of wind blew, and the poisonous mist rolled back, enveloping the group of snakes and snake grandchildren behind her. This group of poisonous snakes couldn't stop the poison of their ancestors, and they convulsed and twisted to death one by one.

Luo Han had already come to the snake demon, holding the worm sword against the snake demon's heart, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are not qualified to enslave us." If you don't want to die, take us to your cave. ”

The snake demon knew that when she met someone she couldn't afford to provoke, just by using this sword to cut off her demon body, it was not something she could resist, and the demon power that Luo Han was instantly exposed when the wind was just now far exceeded her imagination, and immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice, ignoring the half of the snake body that was still twitching, and twisted and led them to the way she came.

Li Wanru asked with a little weakness: "Brother Han, are we really going to the Monster Cave Mansion?" These snakes are scary. ”

The other sisters actually wanted to say it, but they didn't dare to speak, which can be seen from the degree of shaking of their bodies.

Luo Han smiled softly: "It's okay, with us, these little snakes will be as honest as earthworms." I have something to do in this snake demon cave, so you should open your eyes and be patient. ”

Perhaps it was Luo Han's ability to give Li Wanru confidence, Li Wanru nodded, and actually ran to the front to comfort her younger sisters.

Luo Han looked at Zheng Guanyin and said, "This kid is very sensible." ”

Zheng Guanyin sighed: "When her father and several brothers died, she was eight years old and knew a lot of things. ”

Luo Han shook his head and didn't answer the conversation. Although the snake demon was cut off from its tail, Luo Han did not make a ruthless move, leaving his own demonic power on the wound, so it didn't take long for the snake demon to automatically stop the bleeding, it did not affect the activity, and it could still be reborn with a broken limb after spending some time to repair. Because of this, although the snake demon suffered hardships, he didn't dare to resent it, and honestly brought the group to his cave.

This is a cave by a waterhole, which can afford to be described as a beautiful mountain and clear water. It's just that the various snakes entrenched nearby make people's scalp a little numb, and Rao is Luo Han, who has seen a lot of various things, is not very comfortable in his heart. However, the snake demon was also interested, seeing that Luo Han's face was not very good, and he spit out the forked snake letter and made a slight sound, and these snake grandchildren surged out of here like a wave.

When Luo Han and his party entered the cave, there was a strong fishy smell on their faces, obviously this snake king didn't like to take care of his cave mansion at all, or she was far from being a real humanoid demon, at least her consciousness was far from mature. Luo Han didn't want to go deeper, so he stopped near the entrance of the cave, waved a gust of wind, and tried to dilute the smell of the cave entrance, and then said: "Tell me, how did you manage to cultivate here without being noticed by the monks." ”

The snake demon hesitated, and Luo Han took out the worm sword and rubbed it on his nails, full of threat. The snake demon had no choice but to reply: "The king spares his life, and this is not the credit of the concubine. The first is that this is not a Lingxiu treasure land, there is no Xiuzhen sect to establish a sect nearby, and secondly, there are formations left by scattered immortals here, which can isolate all kinds of mana fluctuations, and whether it is practicing or using spells in the two hundred miles near this cave, it will not be noticed by the outside world. ”

Luo Han turned his head to look at the cave mansion and said, "I'll just say, this cave mansion looks quite leisurely, and it doesn't look like a wild monster like you who has never seen the world can open up." We're going to stay here for a few days, and you restrain your men and don't come to die, and when we're gone in a few days, this place will still be your territory. ”

The snake demon hurriedly said: "The concubine understands, the king, please rest here with peace of mind, the concubine must not let the little ones disturb the king." If the king has any commands, please do not hesitate to call the concubine. ”

"You step down first." Luo Han retreated from the snake demon and looked at the cave again, even in the section of the cave that was only used as a companion, there were all kinds of filth, and there was still the venom left by various poisonous snakes. Luo Han thought about it, but still let everyone come out and set up a tent by the waterhole.

After setting up the tent and catching fish by the waterhole, Qi Tao asked, "Captain, why don't you stop here and not leave?" Although he is an official member, he joined the team late, so he never questioned Luo Han's decision, as long as Luo Han said and did, he would obey 100%, but he was still a little curious and wanted to know why Luo Han did this, so he asked when he was free.

Luo Han said: "I've always been worried that there will be cultivators who will be able to divinate our location. Otherwise, it would be in vain to try to catch me with just ordinary tracking methods. I also deliberately asked Thunderbolt to keep an eye on the road that Chang'an must pass in this direction, but no one showed any signs of finding traces at all, and it was obvious that the mortal means used so far were wanted by the state capitals, which was too simple. So I had to find a way to deal with the monks' means of divination. Since this place can isolate mana fluctuations, it can also most likely be isolated from all kinds of visits. Let's take refuge here first, let the dragons muddy someone, and then we'll walk away. ”

Qi Tao secretly complained, the state government is wanted, that's for you pervert, right, you were driven to the mountains without seeing an accident in the passing year? Fortunately, the year was extinguished, and the official didn't know that he had bumped into Zheng Guanyin's mother and daughter, but he thought that it was a bold thief who was caught doing evil, and he blatantly killed the official and fled, otherwise even if he hid in the mountains, he was afraid that he would be searched by the mountain.

In the Daming Palace, Li Shimin propped up his desk with hazy eyes. It was getting dark, but he didn't wake up early and couldn't sleep. Since the disappearance of Zheng Guanyin's mother and daughter, he has not slept a solid sleep for a few days, and every time he just falls asleep, he will dream of a woman in an imperial robe, sitting on the dragon chair and looking at him indifferently, unable to see the woman's face clearly, but he feels that it is a certain daughter of the eldest brother. Driven by such thoughts, he was even more anxious to arrest Zheng Guanyin's mother and daughter, but it had been several days, and there was no clue at all. The thieves were cunning and abnormal, and hired a large number of carriages in advance to drive in all directions from Chang'an, and it was impossible to follow the route of the other party's evacuation. And several Taoist masters in Chang'an City who are proficient in divination and calculation, but because the other party has powerful monsters on the side, they have been seriously disturbed, and some strange people have been recruited, but none of them have a way.

Suddenly, a eunuch knocked on the door and said, "Your Majesty, Daoist Xuan Lingzi asks to see you." ”

Li Shimin was overjoyed: "Please." ”

Not long after, Xuan Lingzi came to the imperial study and glanced at Li Shimin, only to feel that he was described as withered and his eyes were blank, and he exclaimed: "Why is Your Majesty like this?" ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "This imperial sister-in-law, mother and daughter have disappeared for a day, and I can't sleep peacefully for a day." ”

Xuan Lingzi persuaded: "It's just a few women, even if there is mercy from the minister's family, how can they threaten Your Majesty?" ”

Li Shimin shook his head: "I have a sister, Princess Pingyang, you know, she also fought on the battlefield in the past, and she was a heroine among women." Since...... Forget it, I'll tell you the truth, I often have a nightmare these days, dreaming of a woman sitting on the throne, and my heart is a little uneasy. ”

Xuan Lingzi said: ""I think about it every day and dream about it at night, it must be because Your Majesty is too worried that I have this dream." Your Majesty, Poor Dao is here to report the good news today.

"What's the joy of?"

"There is a Taoist friend in the poor road, the new five ghosts carry the magic technique, you can make the five ghosts, track the world, just give him the target belongings, even if he is thousands of miles away, he can know his whereabouts."

Li Shimin was overjoyed: "Please." ”

Xuan Lingzi said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, Poor Dao came to ask for their mother and daughter's personal belongings, so that this Taoist friend can do it." When the practice is over, it will not be too late for His Majesty to summon him again. Otherwise, time is wasted. ”

"Good, come here, take the Taoist to Changle Gate."

There is the luck of the Son of Heaven in the imperial city, so naturally he can't do it, and Xuan Lingzi can only take things and bring them back to his Taoist temple, so that his Taoist friend can cast a spell.

This Taoist is called Cheng Pingzi, a tall white-haired Taoist priest with a yellow face and thin muscles, and he is obviously not a serious cultivator. This kind of monk is often due to lack of chance, and has no hope of ascending, so he has to drill all kinds of spells that are considered to be sideways, and there is no one to guide them, so they often lose their vitality and make them look strange.

This person took Zheng Guanyin's personal clothes and looked at them twice, put them on the table, and began to chant the incantation, and at the same time continued to move and cooperate, and soon five little ghosts emerged from the ground. The Taoist shouted: "The five ghosts listen to my orders, and there must be no mistake in pursuing this person." These five little ghosts sniffed and licked around the clothes, looking extremely obscene, no wonder Xuan Lingzi didn't dare to let Li Shimin send someone to watch. However, this is not that the five ghosts are lustful, but they must use this to understand the target before they can pursue it.

After a while, the five ghosts burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

Xuan Lingzi asked curiously: "Chengping Daoyou, this is it?" ”

Cheng Pingzi explained: "The five ghosts have been tracking down the information, they are extremely fast, and it is only a pillar of incense time to travel thousands of miles, if they chase the target, they will come back and report." Taoist friends wait patiently. ”

The two sat quietly and waited, but they couldn't wait for the return of the five ghosts. Xuan Lingzi couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist, can it be done?" Didn't you say that traveling a thousand miles is just a pillar of incense? ”

Cheng Pingzi was also a little apprehensive: "This ...... This...... Maybe the goal is too far, Daoyou wait. ”

After another half an hour, Xuan Lingzi couldn't sit still and left temporarily, Cheng Pingzi was also a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the five ghosts should have come back a long time ago, unless there was some accident. But these five ghosts are proficient in the method of escape, and they are timid and cautious by nature, so it is impossible for them to be discovered by the big demon around the target.

After another hour, Xuan Lingzi came back and frowned, "Fellow Daoist, why haven't you found it yet?" ”

Cheng Pingzi's old face turned red and said, "Poor Dao, this will summon them back to ask." Then he recited the incantation, and it didn't take long for the five ghosts to emerge from the ground, chirping and whining. Cheng Pingzi frowned after listening for a while, waved his hand to let the five ghosts leave, and said to Xuan Lingzi: "The five ghosts said that they searched all the way, but when they arrived in a mountain eight hundred miles here, they lost the trace of their target, so they lingered around there for a long time. ”

Xuan Lingzi was puzzled: "What's going on?" ”

Cheng Pingzi said: "There is only one possibility, they have entered some kind of formation that can hide their breath. According to the five ghosts, there was a place there that could interfere with their supernatural powers, and they were afraid to enter it for fear of danger. But they circled around the area, confident that the target hadn't left the area. ”

Xuan Lingzi was overjoyed: "Daoist friends are convinced? ”

"I'm sure."

"In this way, the poor Dao is a saint, if you can capture the target, the Taoist friends should take the first credit."

Soon, Li Shimin confirmed the mountainous area where Luo Han was located from the map, and immediately sent an urgent order to the nearby state capital, sent officials to seal the mountain and search, and at the same time sent monks to serve the imperial court to deal with the big demon called Cold Wind.

The governor of the nearby governor, who received the order, did not dare to slack off, and immediately mobilized all the soldiers on duty, and even requisitioned the people, to rush to this mountain range, so as to enclose the place. Naritai probes every once in a while to ensure that the target does not escape.
