"Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves, so every day to remind the gall to prevent being assassinated, sooner or later there will be omissions, prevent it or not, I still have to take the initiative to find out about this matter."

Bai Yu thought about it and felt that it would not work like this.

He rode out of Qifeng County, and the chief of the guard and two people who spent a lot of money invited the best in the rivers and lakes to follow him to protect him.

The chief of the guard is a powerful martial artist, according to the Marquis of Jinnan, the ancestor of the chief of the guard was the deputy general of the ancestor of the Marquis of Jinnan, and the family martial arts are very powerful, and he can resist and fight with a shield swordsmanship.

The two best players who spent a lot of money to invite the best players also have their own skills, one is called "Fireworks Trickster", who is good at using various gunpowder types of hidden weapons, such as thunderbolts, explosive fire beads, etc.; The other is called "Three watches in the middle of the night want your life", as soon as you look at the stage name of the rivers and lakes, you will know that he is a person who is good at sneak attacks and assassinations.

The two of them have a great appetite, and they want a monthly salary of one hundred taels of gold, but fortunately, Bai Yu is rich and rich, otherwise the two of them will definitely get out of the way if they change to an ordinary employer.

"Sir, look at your direction, this is to get rid of the demon division?"

The chief guard asked.

Hearing that the Demon Eradication Division, the Fireworks Trickster and the Three Watches in the middle of the night want your life are a little unnatural, obviously a little worried about the Demon Eradication Division.

"That's right."

Bai Yu quickly whipped his horse.

The chief of the guard didn't ask any more questions, and followed silently.

After walking for dozens of miles, I saw that there was no grass in the square area, and a bare stone mountain was standing.

Although Bai Yu had never been here, he had heard that the belly of that stone mountain was the location of the Demon Exterminator.

In front of the stone mountain, there was not even a guard, only a stone gate, which was not closed, and it was open like this, and it was dark inside.

Hua Huo said treacherously, "I'm waiting for the rivers and lakes to be reckless, but it's inconvenient to go in." ”

In the middle of the night, the third watch wants you to order, "It's reasonable, it's reasonable." ”

The chief guard patted Bai Yu's shoulder with a thick palm, giving Bai Yu a stable look, and just when Bai Yu was moved, the chief guard said, "Go with peace of mind, if something happens, I will report to the Hou Ye and ask you for an explanation." ”

Bai Yu had something on his mind, and he couldn't care about it, so he walked in hard.

"Is anyone there?"

Shouting as you walk.

This is to prevent the people of the Demon Slayer Division from mistakenly thinking that he has trespassed in and expelling him as a demon.

"Is anyone there?"

Bai Yu went deeper and deeper.

This dark passage seems to have no end.

"Here, let's play."

A coquettish laugh made him creepy, and a bewitching woman's upper body leaned out of the stone wall and stretched out her hand to pull him.

Bai Yu changed color and hurriedly retreated.

Retreating, tripped over something in his heel, and fell on his back, but fortunately he reacted quickly and supported the ground with his backhand, otherwise he would have to pick up a big bag in the back of his head.

He looked up to his feet, and saw two miserable white hands on the ground grabbing his feet.

Gan! Is this the Demon Eradicator or the Demon Cave! Bai Yu stomped his feet hard, but he couldn't shake off his two miserable white hands.

Suddenly he felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if there was something in his back, his face stiffened and slowly looked back, only to see an old woman with a face full of carrion and crawling with "white worms" grinning at him, and he almost vomited his rice.

"That's enough."

Bai Yu was annoyed.

The old woman was shocked away!

Two miserable white hands appeared on the ground, which were broken and flew out three feet away!

The bewitching woman was crushed alive and pressed back into the stone wall, screaming in pain!

The tiger is not powerful, you are the king of the mountain? Bai Yu sneered in his heart, this is the third skill of the character card, his exclusive domain, and the range is three.

"Well, that's good."

The stone wall cracked, revealing a small room where an old man was sitting in a rocking chair.

The old man is very strange, he is covered in stone skin, his hair is green grass, and his eyebrows are also green grass, and he knows that he is "not a normal person" at a glance.

Bai Yu was vigilant, "Who are you?" ”

The old man pointed to the stone wall around him, "I am the spirit of this stone mountain, and I control everything here. ”

Bai Yu was surprised, "Mountain God? ”

The old man shook his head, "It's not a mountain god, at most a mountain spirit." ”

Bai Yu asked, "What were those just now?" ”

The old man said, "That is, some of the lowest-grade demons and monsters, and the people who excluded the demon division grabbed them and threw them at the entrance to watch the door." ”

The lowest goblins, all right...... Bai Yu slowly walked into the small room, "I'm coming to find Zheng Yan'er, can you spread the word?" ”

"Zheng Yan'er went on a mission, not here."

The old man crossed his hands and swiped, and then, pointing upward.

Bai Yu instantly felt himself take off, hitting his head on the top of the small room, but he didn't encounter any obstacles, he kept flying up, and after a while, he rose to a large room.

Looking at the middle-aged man wearing a one-eyed patch in front of him, Bai Yu scolded in his heart, your uncle, Zheng Yan'er is not here, so you sent me to her father?

Seeing Bai Yu, the middle-aged man wearing a one-eyed patch was also obviously stunned.

Bai Yu hurriedly smiled with his hand, "The lower official will meet Master Zheng." ”

The middle-aged man with a one-eyed mask bowed his head and looked at him seriously, "Listen to Yan'er, when she handled the case in Jinhe County, you saved her life?" ”

Bai Yu said modestly, "With a lot of effort, why worry about it." ”

The middle-aged man with a one-eyed patch muttered, "You're here to find Yan'er, right?" ”

"Yes."

Bai Yu said with a smile, "Since Miss Zheng is not here, then the lower official will retire first......"

Bai Yu turned around to leave, but found that the entire room was closed, with stone walls on all sides, and no doors and windows at all, which made him a little embarrassed.

"You specially came to the Demon Eradication Division to find Yan'er, but because your subordinates were killed one after another?"

The words of the middle-aged man with a single eye patch shocked Bai Yu's heart.

Bai Yu turned around and looked at him in surprise, "Your Excellency knows about this?" ”

The middle-aged man with a one-eyed mask said, "Yan'er is not at the level enough to know this, but I can guess some of them." ”

Bai Yu bowed his hand deeply, "Please give me some advice, the lower officials are grateful!" ”

The middle-aged man with a one-eyed mask was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke, "I shouldn't have told you this, but you saved Yan'er's life, the world is not as big as my daughter's life, I don't want to see your death unknown, so I just told you." ”

"Thank you, sir."

Bai Yu was overjoyed.

saved Zheng Yan'er before and formed a good fate, but I didn't expect it to come in handy here.

"This matter has to start with His Majesty the current Emperor."

The middle-aged man with a one-eyed mask smiled, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty is now three hundred and nineteen years old, dying of old age, and his longevity has dried up."

"The courtiers know that they should prepare early, and the most debated thing in the court every day is which prince to appoint as the crown prince, but the courtiers don't understand the old emperor's mind at all, he doesn't want to make the crown prince, he doesn't want to give up the throne of the dragon chair, he just wants to continue his life, do everything possible to continue his life!"

"At the beginning, the old emperor was relatively restrained, and asked Yuezun for advice on the health and cultivation methods of the Daomen."

"After all, the method of health cultivation is slow to take effect, and the old emperor saw that his time was getting less and less, and he was anxious, so he gave up the method of health cultivation and invited many famous people from the side door to raise in the palace, such as Guliu Zhenren, Xuanyi Jushi, Wushan Grand Master and others."

"The method of continuing life on the side door is strange, you can imagine what the palace will be chaotic into."

"Ten years ago, Guliu Zhenren told the old emperor that the dynasty is like a towering tree, if the branches are too luxuriant, it will take away the nutrients of the main trunk, making the main trunk age too fast...... At that time, King Qing was outstanding among the princes, with the appearance of a prince, and the old emperor thought that King Qing had accelerated his aging, and disposed of King Qing for the crime of rebellion. ”

"This is the truth of King Qing's rebellion case that caused a sensation in the world at that time, is it ridiculous?"

"It's strange to say, after disposing of King Qing, the old emperor did age a little slower, so he was even more convinced of the side door."

"Six years ago, the Xuanyi monk dedicated a life-sustaining secret method to the old emperor, saying that everyone has an immortal factor, the most in the baby, as it grows up, the longevity factor is gradually consumed, if the longevity factor of nine hundred and ninety-nine babies is collected, you can get a life-sustaining pill, and then there are many people's babies who disappear mysteriously, and those poor people will never know who is the real murderer."

The more Bai Yu listened, the more frightened he became, he offered Tianxiang Yulu and was awarded the title of Qifeng County male, originally he had a good impression of His Majesty the current emperor...... I never thought there would be such an ulterior side.

The middle-aged man with a one-eyed patch glanced at him and continued.

"Some time ago, a group of exiles who disappeared ten years ago suddenly reappeared."

"This case was originally nothing, that is, a bizarre disappearance, but the miraculous thing is that this group of exiles has hardly changed after ten years, including you and the sixteen officials who are as young as ten years ago."

"This has attracted the special attention of the old emperor and the side door."

"Xuanyi Lay Monk guesses that you people have inadvertently broken into a wonderful space, and your body is impregnated with a strong immortality factor, so you are still so young after ten years, which is what the old emperor desires the most."

"On the bright side, let more than 200 exiled prisoners build the imperial tomb, but in fact, all of them were sent to alchemy to refine the so-called immortal factor."

"As for you and the sixteen servants, I will let you go home for the time being, but secretly send the Jinyi guards to kill you one by one, so that you will be afraid, struggling, and despairing, and stimulate the immortality factor in your body, what effect will you try."

Xuanyi layman? Bai Yu hated it very much, and he was his mother! More than 200 exiles were taken to alchemy, and he and sixteen servants were used as "guinea pigs" for experiments, to verify the so-called immortality factor.

The middle-aged man with a one-eyed mask looked at him in a cold sweat on his forehead, "Now you know what kind of situation you are facing, right?" ”
