Before leaving, Ji Shi set a fire to the palace of the national teacher.

The underground altar that burned out the sin, the fire spread all the way into the nearby palace, because it was the center of the palace, the entire palace was in chaos, so that no one noticed that Ji Shi and Bai Shao took advantage of the chaos to leave.

Before leaving, Ji Shi looked back: "It's a pity that I couldn't kill the old man." ”

Bai Shaozui quickly asked, "Who is the old man?" ”

"Of course it's the old emperor."

Ji Shi on his face, how can you ask such a stupid question.

Bai Shao was silent for a long time, and he didn't know whether to admire the calmness of the ninth princess.

The two went out of the palace and did not dare to stay in the city for a long time, so they decided to leave the city as soon as it was dawn.

On the way, Ji Shi was almost found out, but thanks to the help of someone, he was able to escape.

And the person who helped them was the crown prince, the elder brother of Ji Shi, the future successor of this dynasty.

The half-siblings looked at each other from a distance through the curtain of the carriage, and without saying a word, they went their separate ways.

After leaving the city smoothly, Ji Shi was like a fish into the sea, very happy.

However, Bai Shao was still thinking about burying his sister alive, so he chose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and wished that his sister could be reincarnated in a good family in the next life.

Ji Shi, who was biting the dog's tail grass and putting his hands behind his head, said coldly: "In this cannibalistic world, what good people can there be?" ”

Bai Shao's eyes burned with blazing fire: "Then I'll change it!" ”

Ji Shi didn't treat him as a joke, but agreed.

"Okay."

The joking agreement was concluded.

The two then descended the mountain and settled in a nearby town.

Although the small city is not as prosperous as the capital, it does not have the lifeless curfew rules of the capital, and when they go, they happen to meet the Lantern Festival, and the whole city is full of lanterns, and the tourists are weaving and lively.

The two temporarily changed their minds and settled in this small town for the time being.

Bai Shao is a poor ghost, all the money he saved fell in the rotten grass shed, and he didn't bring it out at all when he went out of the city.

However, Ji Shi was smart enough, rolled up some gold and silver, and wisely remembered to erase the palace marks and sell them for some money, which was enough for the two of them to have no worries about food and clothing these days.

Neither of them mentioned the matter of breaking up, as if it was a matter of course for partners to be together, and even the money was used to calculate the weight of the two.

During the time they spent together in the small town, Bai Shao and Ji Shi became more and more familiar.

Bai Shao has a simple temperament, at most he is a little sleek honed by the market, but he is actually a half-grown teenager, without too many hearts, just like white paper.

Ji Shi is different, she grew up in terrible criticism, she has a great grasp of human nature and people's hearts, she is as accurate as a mind reader, and her mind is deep, on the surface, she quarrels with Bai Shao, but in fact no one knows what she is thinking.

The peaceful days were not destined to last long, and an accident broke the peace of the town and ended the daily life of Ji Shi and Bai Shao.

Someone died mysteriously in the city, Bai Shao was accidentally involved, and was suspected of being a murderer, all relying on Ji Shi's eyes to find out the truth, but this led to a strange incident, and it was also the reason why those people in the city died one after another-

An old locust tree that is enshrined as a sacred tree.

This is located in the center of the small city, so that hundreds of people worship and worship, the branches of the tree are hung with prayer red silk for thousands of years, it turns out that there has been a mutation, all the people who died are involved in this ancient locust.

When the evil deeds are exposed, the leafy and upright ancient locust tears off its camouflage, opens its dead branches that cover the sky and the sun under the full moon, and the city rains down leaves, and the living ancient locust shows its hideous face, trying to devour the flesh and blood of mortals to strengthen itself.

At the critical moment, Bai Shao burst out with a strange ability to repel the ancient locust, allowing it to sneak into the power and escape, leaving a huge hole in the place where the ancient acacia was originally planted.

However, many houses in the city were destroyed by Gu Huai, and some people were injured and died in the process of fleeing, and no one was happy.

Of course, this does not prevent them from worshipping Bai Shao as a hero.

But the question is, what is the origin of this ancient acacia? How can they destroy the ancient locust and prevent it from returning?

The knowledgeable old man trembled and said the reason for the change in the ancient huai, and she mentioned two words:

"Heavenly Demon."

The Ninth Princess Ji Shi, who was carelessly wandering outside the crowd, raised her deep eyes when she heard the words.

And under the old man's narration, everyone knows another way in this world-

If you ask young people how the War of the Seven Kingdoms was fought, I am afraid that many people will not know the origin for a long time.

Only the elderly, who had heard of that terrible time from the mouths of older people.

Today's young people only know that there are many visions in the world, and there are even cultivators who have extraordinary skills and control the power of nature, but they don't know that this power is not very early, but brought about by a meteorite that fell from the sky hundreds of years ago.

Meteorites from the sky have brought extraordinary power to mortals, but they have also brought countless heavenly demons, ravaging the earth and making the world miserable.

At that time, the Seven Kingdoms had not yet been divided, but were ruled by a dynasty called "Zhou", and under the decision of Zhou Tianzi, the unprecedented unity of the Seven Kingdoms paid a heavy price to finally drive the Heavenly Demons out of this land.

However, the external crisis was resolved, and the remaining seven kingdoms began to compete for the meteorite outside the sky, which eventually led to the fall of the Zhou Dynasty and the complete division of the seven kingdoms.

This extraterrestrial meteorite, also known as the Yuan Stone, is the root of a cultivator's cultivation and all extraordinary powers.

It is said that the owner of the core Yuanshi, because of the purity of power and the structure of the time spent with the Yuanshi, the bloodline has been transformed, and their descendants can have power without going through the Yuanshi.

Some people call their bloodline the blood of the gods, and the current rulers of the seven kingdoms are all owners of the blood of the gods.

Obviously, Bai Shao, who erupted with strange power in the face of Gu Huai, was the owner of the divine blood.

This means that he is also very likely to be a side branch of the Seven Kings Clan.

Bai Shao was at a loss when he heard this, he didn't expect that a homeless beggar who had been a homeless beggar for more than ten years would be suddenly told that he had divine blood, and it was more likely that he was a royal family.

However, in his opinion, this matter has not changed much in his life, and he has no intention of looking for his ancestor to be a royal family, he just wants to solve the Gu Huai in front of him, and then leave here with Ji Shi.

Soon the crisis will come again, this ancient acacia transformed by the heavenly demons has taken root in this city for decades, and the blood and food of the population in the city is the meat of its mouth, and it is impossible to allow the meat to fly to its mouth.

So on the night of the second day it swept again and wreaked havoc in the city with its well-developed roots.

Fortunately, Bai Shao and the others had already prepared, thinking that even if the Heavenly Demon was mutated, they should be as afraid of fire as the trees, so they set a trap to lure Gu Huai to take the initiative to appear.

This battle was particularly tragic, even if Bai Shao began to master that strange ability, he was still not Gu Huai's opponent.

The last one to kill Gu Huai was Ji Shi.
