"Demon sharks?" Mendong had only heard the story of the hairpin not long ago, and was deeply impressed, so he asked, "Is it the shark who was haunted in the country of Li'er forty years ago?" ”

"No, no, no!" The shopkeeper was anxious: "That demon shark has already been killed by the old country lord, how can it come back?" ”

"How could it be?" The woman hurriedly replied: "My mother said that the demon shark killed people back then, and it was also sucking the blood of young women, just like what happened to my sister now!" She suddenly turned her head to look at the hairpins: "I don't know why the lord of the country ordered to seal his mouth and not let the city discuss this matter, but if the truth is told sooner, these immortals have strong mana, maybe they can catch the demon shark one day earlier, then my sister will not die!" ”

"Madame!" The husband beside her covered her mouth: "Don't say it! ”

The woman struggled a few times before she began to weep again.

"What's going on?" Pu Zhu looked at the leader of the city defenders who was silent in the room: "Shouldn't my lord explain?" ”

The leader took a step back, as if in great distress.

At this moment, there was another messy footstep outside, and a group of guards broke in, and the guards led by him arched their hands and said: "All the immortal elders, my subordinates are ordered by the lord of the country, please enter the palace immediately and discuss the matter of subduing demons." ”

Fang Cai also said that it was the first time that there was an accident, and now he had to "discuss together", everyone looked at each other, but Tan Tianxin said disapplausively: "So fast, it seems that it can't be hidden." He turned around to leave, took two steps and realized something, and pretended to look at Gu Baiying calmly: "Do you want to go together?" ”

"Of course I want to go." Nie Xinghong took the first step to reply: "Immortal cultivators, it is their duty to subdue demons and eliminate demons and eliminate harm for the people. He warmly invited Meng Ying again: "Miss Meng should also go with you, leaving you here alone, I really don't feel at ease." ”

Meng Ying didn't pay attention to him at all, just looked at Gu Baiying inquiringly, Gu Baiying glanced at Tan Tianxin and said, "Let's go." ”

That's where to go.

Hairpin Xing followed behind Gu Baiying, feeling a little strange in his heart. In the original book, there is indeed a plot of the secret realm of the Ear Country, but it is also used to slap Mu Jiexiao's face, and there are no side copies such as demon sharks. Has the plot changed? She looked down at the red marks on her palms, and there were no signs of deepening.

At least, she hasn't robbed the aura of the protagonist of the shepherd's sky, and she won't be targeted by the original book.

"Hairpin star, hurry up." Tian Fangfang urged her in front.

She put away the thoughts in her heart and raised her legs to follow.

......

When it was night, it became very cold.

The white palace is indeed holy and elegant when it is illuminated by the sun during the day, but at night, it is white everywhere, and it looks empty and cold, and it is a little bleak.

There is a row of mirrors hanging outside the gate of the palace, and there is no need to think about it, all of them are engraved with exorcism charms. There are a lot of yellow rune paper pasted at the foot of the door. The night wind passed through the main hall, blowing the white lanterns slightly swaying, and the bright lights in the hall swayed, looking not like the main hall, but like an altar, which made people creepy.

The lord of Li'er Country sat on a high seat, looked at the group of people who walked in with a worried expression, and invited them to sit down, before he sighed and said, "What happened on the west coast, Lone already knows. The Immortal Chiefs have just come from the inn, presumably ...... It has also been clear for a long time. ”

"Your Highness," Mu Jiexiao looked at him and said, "It's not the first time that a monster hurts people in the Li'er Country, right?" ”

The lord of the country lowered his head a little in surprise: "It's really not the first time, in fact, in the past two months, it is already the ninth girl to be killed." ”

When they heard this, they all frowned. The hairpin asked, "In that case, why didn't the lord explain this matter when we came before?" ”

"That's it!" Pu Yu also said: "My senior sisters and I arrived two days in advance, and we have never heard anyone in the city mention this matter. If His Highness had told us earlier, perhaps tonight's tragedy would not have happened. ”

"It's lonely and inconsiderate." The lord of the country said: "I concealed it before, but I was also afraid that the people would panic in their hearts, after all, they died exactly like the people who were killed by the demon shark forty years ago. The courtiers discussed, in order not to cause panic among the people, to suppress this matter for the time being, and after you return from the secret realm, you will ask the immortal elders to help subdue the demons. However, I didn't expect the monster to do it tonight...... The monster before would only kill one person every ten days, and today ...... It's been less than ten days. ”

"What kind of reasoning do you have with the demon," Gu Baiying seemed to be amused when he heard this, "Since this demon has gone on a killing spree, he naturally can do it whenever he wants, and the king of a country is simply ridiculously pedantic." ”

He counted the lord of the country so unceremoniously, and the rest of the people did not dare to talk, and the lord of the country was also full of shame.

Nie Xinghong shook his fan and diverted the conversation: "Your Highness said that the deceased today is exactly the same as the person who was killed by the demon shark forty years ago, in this case, does it mean that the monster who is making trouble now is the demon shark forty years ago?" But that demon shark has not been killed by the old lord, how can it still cause trouble to the world? ”

"I won't hide it from you, forty years ago, Gu was not born, and when his father fought with the demon shark, Gu only heard about it from others, and learned about it from the classics. If the immortals want to know, Lone can ask someone to bring those books over......"

"No, I'll tell them." A voice sounded from outside the temple, and when they looked back, they saw a woman in red entering.

This woman has gray hair and is tied into a bun, although she is close to the sixtieth birthday, but she also looks energetic and heroic. Hairpin was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This is not ......"

Isn't this the old woman they met in front of the golden statue of the "Lord of the Country Slaying Demon Shark" in the West Sea before. At that time, the woman also taught the hairpin star a lesson, telling her not to whitewash the monster at will, so as to save the blood of the heroes who killed the demon shark in vain. I didn't expect to see this woman in the palace at this time.

The lord of the country on the high seat stood up and said, "Queen Mother, why are you here?" ”

"The Queen Mother?" Tian Fangfang was surprised: "She is ......"

"This is the lonely queen mother," the lord of the kingdom smiled, "It seems that you have already seen it?" ”

"Yes, I did." Mu Jiexiao also said: "It's just that I didn't expect this to be His Highness's mother." ”

"My son has ascended to the throne of the kingdom, and I am just an ordinary woman, and I do not have to be treated with royal courtesy." The woman said: "I was originally the princess of Lizhu of the Lin family, and I married here because I was far away from my relatives. It doesn't hurt for the Immortals to just call me by my name. ”

"Princess Lizhu," Nie Xinghong is accustomed to pleasing women, and said with a smile: "You just said that you want to tell us about the demon shark?" ”

"Not bad." Lizhu said calmly: "Forty years ago, not long after I married into the country of Li'er, there was a demon shark in the city. I was also present when the Lord of the Night Kingdom killed the demon shark. ”

"I can tell you all."
