Chapter 5: Epistles

"Of course I'm definitely not questioning you, you can't be wrong!"

Duan Lingqi saw that Su Yuanbai still didn't speak, his black eyes looked at him calmly, and his heart couldn't help but be even more flustered, and he hurriedly spoke again.

"What is the content of the epistle?"

Su Yuanbai looked at Duan Lingqi calmly, and no one could see any emotional fluctuations from his black eyes and indifferent face.

"There are only eight characters, too white and sky, and the stars are opposite."

Duan Lingqi pursed his lips and hesitated for a while and said, although he didn't know anything about stargazing, he was good at observing other people's faces.

When the crazy little beggar saw the contents of the letter in front of him, the smile and madness on his face instantly became solemn and serious.

"Taibai Jingtian, Taibai should be a yin star, if it appears during the day, it is 'Jingtian'. These signs mean that the world will fall into chaos, the people will be displaced, chaos will come, and the monarch should be changed. ”

Su Yuanbai muttered these four words slightly, and gradually had some vague memories in his mind, which made Su Yuanbai sure that he had read this letter before.

Then the old man in front of him called Duan Lingqi was somewhat credible, and it was only now that Su Yuanbai had a trace of trust in what this old man said.

"But what does it mean to be a relative star?"

Duan Lingqi nodded as if he understood, took his hand out of his wide sleeve, stroked his goatee and asked suspiciously.

"Where the year star hangs, there is often a blessing in the place, but if it is opposite to the year star, then there will be a disaster......

Su Yuanbai's eyes lowered slightly, and he looked at the hand that Duan Lingqi took out of his sleeve, no, it was a claw to be exact.

The claws were earthy yellow, similar to the color of the old man's clothes, with serpentine three toes and gray armor at the tips of the toes, sharp and sharp like a sword.

"I see!"

Duan Lingqi suddenly nodded and said, and when he nodded, he happened to see Su Yuantou looking down at his hand.

"When I was in a hurry to return, I had to go to the water, and I happened to meet my enemy, and during the fight, my demonic power was consumed a lot, which made it difficult for me to maintain the completion of my human form."

The corners of Duan Lingqi's mouth twitched, an embarrassed smile appeared, and he said reluctantly.

Not being able to maintain a complete human form is a shameful thing for Duan Lingqi, or for all demons.

"You're not human?"

Su Yuanbai's brows furrowed, when he didn't find that this hand was a claw, he didn't think that this old man would be transformed into a human form by some kind of animal.

But when he found out about this, he didn't feel surprised and weird, but felt quite like this in his heart.

This is what made Su Yuanbai frown.

He was not surprised, he was accustomed to it.

But Su Yuanbai didn't know that he frowned, but Duan Lingqi was so frightened that he trembled, his tone became rapid and panicked, and a look of wanting to cry without tears appeared on his face.

"Don't think that the old slave is rude to you, you are born noble, a god and a Taoist body, naturally I don't know how difficult it is for us mountain spirits to transform into human form, without going through several disasters and difficulties, without going through a hundred or thousands of years, how can we casually transform into a human?

Moreover, after turning into a human, although there is already a humanoid Dao body, which can hold the qi of all things and refine it, the qi required to maintain the humanoid Dao body is not a small amount.

Although you untied the demon chain for me, Sangyu Island is also a place where the spiritual energy is abundant, which can be called the blessed land of the cave, but this prison is affected by the formation, and the spiritual energy does not enter.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult for the old slave to maintain his humanoid Dao body, and he was seriously injured when he went out to fight with the little beast of the Cloud Cave Lake this time......"

Duan Lingqi directly surrendered himself as an old slave this time, and secretly complimented Su Yuanbai again in a panic.

Since the advent of "Demon Rite", all demons in the world have to follow this ceremony, and one of the various rules in it is rude to show the demon body when talking to people.

Although Duan Lingqi has not guessed the true identity of the man in front of him so far, he thinks that he is good at "watching people" by virtue of Duan Lingqi's self-esteem.

In addition, when Duan Lingqi was delivering the letter, he stole into the bookstore and read the sparse records about this lonely Sangyu Island hanging on the surface of the sea.

He speculated that this man was most likely the heir of a prince who once owned a large fiefdom, who was convicted of the extremely serious rebellion of the feudal lords nine hundred years ago, and was imprisoned in this prison after the renovation was completed.

If he is a big man with this background, then in Duan Lingqi's impression, he cares most about whether the etiquette is in line with the rules.

If it is an ordinary family disciple, Duan Lingqi is not afraid, and he is polite? The weak don't need to be polite, and if he has some background, he can't run away.

But this guy doesn't care about the background, his fists alone are much harder than him.

That's why Duan Lingqi was so flustered.

"Why did you come to my cell through the tunnel?"

It's a pity that Su Yuanbai didn't care about Duan Lingqi's actions and words, and after remembering a few of the key information, he felt that Duan Lingqi was talking a lot of nonsense and noisy, so he asked again.

A stone in Duan Lingqi's heart fell to the ground, and the claw that was difficult to maintain a human form was put back in his sleeve, this question was not difficult for Duan Lingqi to answer.

"I'm telling you the ins and outs of this trip."

Duan Lingqi said respectfully.

"Isn't it because I heard I'm dead?"

Su Yuanbai said with a faint smile on his face, If you don't come sooner or later, just when the jailers left, this Duan Lingqi came over.

It's also too coincidental.

Besides, Su Yuanbai didn't think that no one couldn't hear the commotion in the cell just now.

"How could a big man like you die so easily? Even if you really die, the shadow of the underworld will send you back with a good voice, and it will probably add a few more decades of life to your life and death book! ”

Duan Lingqi said flatteringly, the smiles on his face piled up, like a crumpled chrysanthemum.

"You mean I can't die?"

Su Yuanbai asked thoughtfully.

"As long as you are not scattered, and there is a trace of soul and spirit, even if the yin of the underworld does not send you back, we will do our best as a slave and go to the Yama Hall of the underworld to snatch you back!"

The smile on Duan Lingqi's face suddenly dissipated, patted his chest, and said in a deep voice with a kind of righteous awe-inspiring attitude of generosity.

"You are also faithful, so what do you ask for after you say so many flattering words?"

Su Yuanbai looked at it calmly, and hurriedly retracted his claws into his sleeve, Duan Lingqi said.

"I don't ask for anything, your well-being is my greatest prayer."

Duan Lingqi said with a wrinkled smile on his face again.

"Okay."

Su Yuanbai glanced down at Duan Lingqi, who was hanging his head and sleeves, and walked back into the tunnel, looking like he was about to leave.

"Of course, if you can untie the blood pact on me a little, or help me to cramp and skin that enemy one day, I should be grateful, I am very grateful."

Duan Lingqi looked at Su Yuanbai's calmly departing back, his eyes rolled a few times, and finally said in a deep voice.
