"What about you? What is your relationship with them? Lu Qing threw out a key question.

"It doesn't matter." Jiu Ying replied casually: "If you have to say it, my former body is also in it." ”

"Oh?" This made Lu Qing a little curious.

He had never seen a demon beast abandon its innate body and become a human.

"At that time, I was trying to break free from the shackles of the innate body, and there happened to be an onmyoji who was willing to give up the physical body, so I swapped boats with him, and that's it." Jiuying said flatly.

Lu Qing nodded, did not comment on this, only said: "There is one more question, how many ancient demon kings are still alive?" ”

"There may be dozens of ancient demons, but if it is a demon king, as far as I know, there are only two that have survived so far." Jiu Ying replied truthfully: "Except for the five demon kings who were suppressed by Dayi, most of the rest were trapped and died in the land of Shenzhou by the Jedi Tiantong Great Array, and then fell due to the rapid exhaustion of demon power. ”

"If you want to get in, you can't do it yet." Jiu Ying said bluntly: "With your current physique, you can't hurt my body at all. ”

"Even if you use the Five Thunder Method, you can't do it." He added.

It is not surprising that Jiuying can see through his Five Thunder Refining Body Lu Qing, after all, the other party is an ancient demon king who has lived for billions of years, and he has seen the vast number of exercises, and his understanding of human monks is only better than that of anyone in this world.

"You have to at least raise your physical body from the half-immortal level to the quasi-immortal level, and further strengthen the innate five qi in your body before using the thunder method." Jiuying suggested.

"Can't you make a move? Isn't that your shell? Wang said in due time.

Jiu Ying shook his head and replied, "We have made an oath to each other, and we must not harm each other, otherwise our souls will be burned by the fire of the oath. ”

Lu Qing nodded, this is not surprising, if there is no restraint, Jiu Ying is afraid that he will not be able to live at all.

Even though that person was still afraid at the beginning, after a long time, the other party completely controlled the physical body and had unparalleled power, and it was impossible not to have murderous intent in the heart of the original owner of Jiuying.

"What about your shell? Who is the other demon king? Lu Qing asked again.

"Teng Snake." Jiu Ying replied, "He happened to be dormant in the clouds and mist of the East China Sea during the Ancient God War, so he escaped a catastrophe. ”

Snake......

There is a record in "Huainanzi": Teng snake swims in the fog and dies in maggots. Its performance is to control snakes, and when you suddenly see a big snake, you will eat its brain.

Lu Qing couldn't help but think of the mysterious ancient demon he met at the Quanzhou dock that day.

Teng Snake likes to eat big snakes raw, and at that time, Liu Xian had just subdued a big snake and the demon beast appeared, was it a coincidence?

Lu Qing felt that the demon beast that night was a snake nine times out of ten.

"Is this Teng Snake you said can shield the heavenly machine?" Lu Qing asked Jiuying.

"Not bad." Jiu Ying nodded and replied: "Teng Snake swims in the fog and has dragon nature, can be big and small, can ascend and hide, and is the ancient demon king who can hide himself the most." ”

No wonder......

Now, Lu Qing could already be sure that the demon beast that he met at that time and easily injured Liu Xian was Teng Snake.

Putting aside the content about Dayi for the time being, other things seem to be clear at this point.

Lu Qing already had a basic understanding of the old things in ancient times, and he probably had an understanding of the inside story of that imperial city.

Now if he wants to enter the Imperial City, he must first complete the Earth Fire Refining Body, and raise his physical body by one level to reach the quasi-immortal level.

"Looks like you're done with all your questions." Jiuying looked at Lu Qing, who no longer asked questions, and said.

"Yes, the question is over, and I should go too." Lu Qing also replied unabashedly.

After saying that, he slowly stood up and motioned for him to leave together.

Jiuying didn't keep it, but shouted when Lu Qing was about to walk out of the courtyard: "Don't forget our agreement." ”

Lu Qing didn't seem to hear it, and walked away without looking back.

It wasn't until the two of them walked out of the Huguo Temple that Wang opened his mouth and asked Lu Qing, "Will you help him?" ”

"I'm not going to stop him." Lu Qing said: "If he really has the ability to leave this realm while I am ascending, I will not embarrass him, and if he can't do it, I will not help him." ”

Wang nodded, and unconsciously she also took Lu Qing's ascension for granted.

"Where are you going now?" Wang then asked.

"Let's go to the Imperial City to do one thing first, and then go to Mt. Fuji to complete the strengthening of the physical body." Lu Qing replied.

Although Jiu Ying suggested that he raise his physique to the quasi-immortal level before entering the imperial city, he couldn't wait.

Because refining one's body through earth fire is a long process, it will definitely not be completed without ten years of hard work.

Ten years is only a blink of an eye for an ancient demon king like Jiuying, who has lived for billions of years, but it is extremely precious for Lu Qing and for Shenzhou, which is in the midst of a continuous war at this moment.

And he just sneaked in to complete the assassination, not to start a war with all the demon beasts in the imperial city, and he didn't need to coerce all the force.

Afterwards, Lu Qing looked at each other and said, "You go back to the sea first, my trip may take a lot of time." ”

Wang stubbornly shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving, I'll go with you." ”

There are thousands of demon beasts in that imperial city, and there are two ancient demon kings whose physiques have reached the "immortal" level, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the tiger's den in Longtan, she must not let Lu Qing go into danger alone.

The most important thing is that she doesn't want to be left behind, and she hates this separation scene even more, because this scene always reminds her of the past, the promise that was more than 6,000 years late.

"Obedient!" Lu Qing said firmly: "I'm just going to do a little thing this time, not to fight with them, there will be no danger to my life."

You followed, but I was restrained. ”

Although he still doesn't believe that he is the reincarnation of Dayi, no matter what, Wang is his friend, and he doesn't want his friend to be in danger.

"But you're ..... alone"

Wang wanted to persuade again, but was interrupted by Lu Qing: "It's okay, I'm just going to do a small thing, they can't find it." ”

Jiuying's spiritual cultivation is only one line away from the "immortal" level, and even he can't see through Lu Qing's mental illusion technique, and the Teng Snake, which is similar to Jiuying, naturally can't find it.

Seeing that Wang was a little uneasy, Lu Qing turned to comfort her and said, "Don't worry, my road has just taken half a step, and I will definitely not fall here." ”

After hearing this, she was not relieved at all, and she was still full of worry, but she knew very well the firmness of Lu Qing's heart, and she also knew that she would not be able to persuade him no matter what.

"Let's go, I'll send you." Lu Qing said bluntly.

Since they are going to separate, of course as a friend, I have to send her home in person.

Wang didn't insist anymore, because she knew that it was useless to insist.

Lu Qing traveled all the way south with hope, and soon arrived in Kanagawa.
