Zhan Lu looked at the empty space where the demon disappeared, and said coldly: "It's too much." ”

Even if there are no hostages, she will go.

Without even waiting for the demon to invite, she had already decided to go.

Now he has put two juniors in danger.

blame her for being careless, when Nanque confessed that she had originally come with a mission, she should have known that the inner demon couldn't just let the people under her do things.

On the bright side, it's a task, and it's handed over to Nanque.

Secretly, it is a conspiracy, and it can be completed naturally.

Just to leave a precondition for the demon to operate.

The heart demon will send a demon of the same age as Mao Zheng and Dai Peilan, which is obviously a targeted target.

"I was careless, I should have thought of it a long time ago."

Zhan Lu blamed herself a little.

They had already thought of sending the two little ones back to Cangchen Mountain and letting them stay in a safe place.

But it was still a step too late.

The so-called Tao is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high.

"It's not your fault, don't blame yourself, none of us thought of this."

Twilight comforted Zhan Lu in a gentle voice.

That's the way it really is, the enemy never waits for you to be ready.

It happened suddenly, and it was the norm to be caught off guard.

The situation is uncontrollable, causing the two juniors to be involved, and people cannot predict the future, and they cannot do anything in advance to stop the bad things from happening.

If we can predict the prophet and avoid the bad things, there will be no misfortune in this world.

So it's not anyone's fault, it's just that things are going in a bad direction.

At this point, the only thing they can do is to remedy it in time.

Zhan Lu was comforted a little better, but she was still a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Then he expressed his worries: "The demon has no credibility, we have to hurry." ”

The demons in their hearts won't really keep Mao Zheng and Dai Peilan waiting for them to save them.

Maybe the heart demon didn't need hostages in the first place, and took away the two juniors, just to provoke Zhan Lu and disrupt their position.

In this case, the demons don't care whether the two are alive or dead.

Qiandu nodded: "The person sent by the master can't come for a while, you go and send a message to Senior Sister Liu and ask her to stay and answer." ”

"I'm going to buy something, and we'll go to the Misty Forest to break the formation later."

Zhan Lu nodded: "Okay." ”

I hope that the demon will not hurt Mao Zheng and Dai Peilan before seeing her.

When she returned to the inn, only Liu Qinuo was walking around the door of the inn, waiting anxiously.

Seeing Zhan Lu coming back, he hurriedly ran over and said quickly: "Mao Zheng and Dai Peilan suddenly disappeared. ”

"Senior Brother Pei Jiu has already gone out to look for it."

After dinner, she was supposed to let the two little ones go back to the room to rest first, but then she suddenly wanted to have a supper.

I was going to call the two small ones, but no one answered when I knocked on the door, and I pushed the door in only to find that neither of them was there.

She and Dai Peijiu sat not far from the two small doors, waiting for Zhan Lu and Qiandui to return.

Where they were sitting, they could even see the door of the two juniors and hear the movement inside.

The strange thing is that they didn't see the two little ones go out the whole time, but the people suddenly disappeared.

Dai Peijiu found that his younger brother was missing, so he went out to look for it as soon as possible, leaving Liu Qinuo here to wait for Zhan Lu and Qiandui to come back and explain the situation.

Zhan Lu said: "They were taken away by the inner demon with summoning techniques, and the two of them had something that Nanque had come into contact with, and Nanque was made of inner demons. So it's the same sect of demonic energy. ”

"The demons can be manipulated at will."

Just in case, Zhan Lu still admonished.

"If you have something on your body that Nanque has touched, take it out first, find a seal bag to seal it, and don't take it with you."

"After dealing with the demons, I'll take it out."

Liu Qinuo, who received too much information at once, couldn't react.

Demons? Took away Mao Zheng and Dai Peilan, so the demons have appeared?

Leaving something that Nan Que has touched on her body will allow the demon to manipulate it at will.

Is Nan Que a demon?

She didn't know this before, and neither Zhanlu nor Twilight told her.

Zhan Lu only said that Nanque's soul was unstable, and she sent Nanque to the living world to raise her soul, and when the time came, she would send Nanque to reincarnate.

said that when the time comes, when Nanque is reincarnated, he will tell her and take her to meet her.

From beginning to end, no one told her that Nanque was a demon who had been ignited by a demon in her heart.

But she didn't blame Zhan Lu for not telling her this, because she was so good to Nanque, and they didn't tell her because they didn't want to disappoint her.

She is also the one who is protected by Zhan Lu and her senior brother.

Liu Qinuo was a little dazed and didn't react for a long time.

I heard Zhan Lu quickly explain: "You stay and wait for the people sent by the sect, and when they arrive, take them to the Misty Forest together." ”

"Chiwi and I went over to break the formation first."

"You send a message to Dai Peijiu, ask him to join us in the Misty Forest, and tell him where Dai Peilan is."

The reason why Liu Qinuo was allowed to transmit the message was because those of their same sect could communicate through the sect's tokens.

Zhan Lu was not from the Cangchen Mountain Sect, so he couldn't communicate with people within their sect at will.

Liu Qinuo put away his thoughts and nodded cautiously: "Just leave these things to me, you and senior brother should be more careful." ”

Zhan Lu said softly, "Okay." ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't have time to explain some things to you clearly, and when I get back, I'll tell you slowly."

Liu Qinuo said: "Okay." "It's still stuck in my throat, and I don't have time to say it.

I saw that Zhan Lu had already floated out far away.

In such a hurry, we can see the seriousness of the incident.

It was already dark.

There is no moon or stars tonight.

Xu Changsheng took the sacrificial supplies and went to the royal mausoleum alone.

His mother was a noble concubine in the palace, and she should have been buried in the concubine garden in accordance with the etiquette system.

But I don't know if his father deliberately tricked his mother and buried her in the imperial mausoleum.

Even after two hundred years, the current royal family is still the descendants of their Xu family.

During the day, people come and go here, and it is inconvenient for him to appear, and he does not like many people.

Therefore, every year he came to worship on the evening of Qingming Day.

The reason why it was at night and not in the morning was because the worship would burn paper money and place sacrifices, and if he had come earlier in the morning, these traces would have been easy to find.

He didn't want to attract anyone's attention, he just wanted to be obscure to the realm of non-existence.

The best thing is that those juniors will not find out about his existence.

He placed the basket in front of the mausoleum.

The basket contained the fruits, pastries, wax and paper money that he had made a special trip to buy during the day.

He laid the tributes one by one in front of the tomb.

The paper money was burned, and finally a stick of incense was lit and inserted into the incense burner.

The simplest, ordinary people's usual worship ritual was completed.

He was not an emperor, so he was not confined to the complicated system of etiquette.

His way of worship was so obscure.

He was afraid, afraid that the momentum would be too great, and that the people in the tomb would not want to see him when they found out that he had come to worship.

He just wanted to go through the motions like this.

After the worship was completed, Xu Changsheng did not leave immediately.

He knelt on the spot, looking at the inscription on the tombstone in front of him with deep and sad eyes, 'Rong Xi Pian', which was the name of his mother, who was the concubine at that time.

After a while, he muttered, "Two hundred years, are you satisfied?" ”

His question was destined to go unanswered.

After a while, he said a little tired and numb:

"I've lived long enough."

Concubine Rong is his mother, a concubine who has been favored but does not love the emperor.

In the first year of entering the palace, she became pregnant with Xu Changsheng.

After learning that she was pregnant, Concubine Rong was different from other concubines, she did not have half of the joy of the dragon heir.

She only felt that the child was a burden.

It is a stumbling block that blocks her from running to love.

She made an appointment with her lover and escaped from the palace, and they eloped to the ends of the earth.

As long as she is with the people she loves, she is willing to die in the world and sleep in the open.

But before the plan could be implemented, she became pregnant.

At that time, the royal family attached great importance to the heir, and she was pregnant with the imperial heir, and if she wanted to escape, it would be difficult to climb to the sky.

What's more, as a woman, she can't get over the hurdle in her heart.

She is already a woman who has been pregnant with other men's children, and she is no longer qualified to love the person she loves.

Because of this child, she lost the happiness she longed for.

Concubine Rong began a hunger strike and committed suicide, thinking of a way to torment herself.

But this child is very tenacious, she tossed several times, moved the fetal gas again and again, and the fetal position has been unstable.

The child survived to full term and had to be born.

The child was born weak because of the suffering in the womb.

He has been plagued by illness since he was a child.

When Xu Changsheng was five years old, he had a high fever for three days.

The doctor prescribed medicine, but when the grandmother who took him since he was a child fed him medicine, he found that he couldn't feed it, and as much as he fed it, it would flow out.

If you can't feed the potion, the condition will not be treated, and seeing that the child is getting weaker and weaker, the mother can only sigh.

At that time, Concubine Rong, who had always ignored Xu Changsheng, pinched his mouth open with one hand.

He took the medicine from Mama's hand with one hand and forcibly poured the potion into him.

Seeing that a bowl of medicine had bottomed out, it wet Xu Changsheng's cheeks, neck, and a large piece of clothing on his chest, but not a few drops were poured into it.

Concubine Rong coldly instructed Mama: "Go and serve another bowl." ”

Mama took the order and left the room.

The sick and weak Xu Changsheng and Concubine Rong were left alone in the room.

Concubine Rong shook the young Xu Changsheng like crazy.

"You get up, how can you be relieved so easily?"

"Because of you, I stayed in this deep palace, you left me behind, you took away my happiness, but you want to be free."

"Changsheng, I'm telling you, don't even think about it."

"You've got to give me a long life, a long life."

"Bear my resentment and live forever."

Seeing that the child did not react, Concubine Rong increased her strength and shook it violently.

The voice raised a few points and yelled at the unconscious Xu Changsheng:

"If you don't hear it, you can't die, you have to live."

"Alive, suffering with me, suffering forever."

was originally a very explosive roar, but when it came to the back, it was full of exhaustion.

Concubine Rong's voice gradually decreased, as if she was suddenly disappointed.

Just before she was about to let go and let the child fall back into bed naturally.

Xu Changsheng's small body moved softly, and then began to cough.

Mama was very quick in her movements, and soon came back with a bowl of medicine.

Concubine Rong saw that Mama had returned, and the child had stopped coughing.

She brought a bowl full of medicinal soup and forcefully gave Xu Changsheng a jar.

The rough way of pouring medicine finally worked.

Seeing that Xu Changsheng drank a lot, Concubine Rong stopped caring about it.

He put down the medicine bowl and instructed his grandmother: "Change him into clean clothes." ”

He left the room without looking back.

Xu Changsheng was in a daze and listened to his mother's words.

Obviously, he was unconscious, but he magically heard every word into his ears.

It was deeply seared into my mind, and I had to remember it all.

In the past, he only felt that his mother didn't like him, and he always wondered if he was not good enough.

At a young age, in order to please his mother, he worked hard to learn all kinds of things to the best of his ability.

Except for his weaker body, he is better than other princes in all aspects.

But he has already done his part, and he has never received a word of praise from his mother.

After this high fever and coma, he finally understood.

His mother's disgust and dislike for himself were not something he could resolve with his efforts.

Once, he heard that his name was proposed by his mother to his father, and then approved by his father.

He thought that "immortality" was his mother's blessing to her, a kind of expectation.

I hope that he can live a long time because of his weak body.

From that day on, he realized that "eternal life" was not a blessing for him.

At a young age, he learned what he shouldn't have understood, so he lost his happiness.
