Covered with snow, it covered the streets and alleys of the imperial city of Zhao.

In the snowy season in previous years, the imperial city was the most lively, the literati invited three or five friends to enjoy the snow and compose poems, the reckless men also called friends to eat a hot mutton hot pot, to go to the cold, the children went out of the house, built snowmen, had snowball fights, and met the palanquin from the palace, they hula la went up, and if they were lucky, they could also get a big bag of candy.

And this year's imperial city is extremely deserted.

In the palace, the highest pavilion is the Wangmin Building specially built by Emperor Zhao, as the name suggests, looking at the suffering of the people's livelihood and mourning the difficulties of the people's livelihood. Always remind yourself to work hard to make the people live a good life.

At this time, on the Wangmin Tower, Emperor Zhao was wearing a snow-white fur coat, leaning on the railing alone, looking into the distance, full of worry.

After a while, there was a sound of laughter from behind, and Emperor Zhao didn't have to guess to know who was coming.

"Your Majesty, be careful of catching a cold. The queen with a stunning face walked up to Emperor Zhao and gently rested her head on his shoulder.

Emperor Zhao retracted his gaze, looked at the queen who was pregnant with Liujia beside him, and finally showed a smile, and said, "Yao'er, be careful of freezing your body, I won't worry." ”

"The national teacher hasn't come back yet?" the queen asked softly, stroking her stomach.

Emperor Zhao shook his head and sighed: "No, it's been a month, and now not only Lanzhou, but even Liuzhou has begun to have a large number of people disappearing inexplicably, and it is difficult for me to sleep and eat." ”

"Your Majesty, it's man-made, you still have to take care of the dragon body, presumably the people all over the world don't want Your Majesty's dragon body to be sick, in that way, no one can make decisions for them. The queen continued: "And the little one knows that he is about to come out, and he has been very naughty lately. ”

"Really, little one, you have to be honest, or your mother will be angry. Emperor Zhao stretched out his hand and touched the queen's belly, as if he found that the belly was moving, and laughed happily.

The queen saw that her husband was smiling so happily for the first time in more than half a year, so she asked, "Your Majesty, give the child a name." ”

"The national teacher said that you are pregnant with a man who stands up to the sky, so call him Wangchuan, Ji Wangchuan!" Zhao Huang said excitedly.

"Wangchuan...... Wangchuan ...... Your Majesty, I think Master Ning is your sweetheart. The queen chewed on the word Wangchuan, and suddenly said jealously.

Emperor Zhao sweated on his forehead, and hurriedly comforted: "How can there be, how can there be, I happened to be in Wangmin Tower, worried about this mountain and river, so I gave this name, okay, hurry back and rest, don't freeze your body." ”

The queen looked at Emperor Zhao's nervous appearance and smiled dotingly, how could she not understand her husband's intentions. If Ning Beichuan is here, there will definitely be a countermeasure. Thinking about this, Lord Ning's status in His Majesty's mind is not much lower than his own, otherwise His Majesty would not let him go to seek immortals.

......

The Luohui Mountain Range is close to the border area of Liuzhou of Zhao State, and at this moment, there are three figures running wildly.

Behind them, a large swarm of fist-sized wasps besieged them, densely packed, no less than thousands. They were all hunched over, revealing the sharp black thorns on their tails.

This is a first-level demon beast Poison Wang Feng, although the power of a single is very weak, but there are too many of them, dense, even a fifth-level demon beast does not dare to provoke them easily.

In the middle of this group of Poison King Feng, there is a baby-sized Poison King Bee, this is their Queen Bee, a third-level demon beast.

"Xiaoqing, don't let you go over there, you have to go, it's okay now. Ying Tianjiao turned her head and taught Xiaoqing beside her a lesson.

Xiaoqing said aggrievedly: "I saw a piece of natural honey just now, and I wanted to put it away to make seasoning, who knew that there were so many demon beasts near the border." ”

The three of them were the three of Ning Beichuan who were careful along the way, and Ning Beichuan passed on the breath collection technique to the two, and they were cautious along the way, and they didn't encounter any powerful demon beasts. Who knew that when he was about to leave the Luohui Mountain Range, he relaxed his vigilance, and saw a large piece of honey hanging on the cliff wall, Xiaoqing took the initiative to ask Ying to go over to pick it, never thinking about provoking these difficult poisonous king bees.

Ning Beichuan didn't want to make a fuss, so he fled all the way, but fortunately, there were many wind charms made by Li Yuan, and the three of them were not caught up.

"There's a valley ahead, get over there. Ning Beichuan pointed to a canyon in front of him and shouted.

......

The entrance to the canyon is very small, but it does have a very large open space inside.

There are many canyons similar to this kind of canyon in the Luohui Mountains, and the scenery is pleasant, and if the cultivators block the front and back, they can form a world of their own, which is a good place for retreat.

However, the situation in the canyon at this time cannot be described as pleasant, and it is not an exaggeration to say purgatory.

The wind gusted in the canyon, a corpse was piled up together, men, women and children, there was a ten-zhang, twenty-zhang square circle of the mountain, and the small black flags were planted around the mountain, and just above the mountain was a red to the point of dripping blood, waving in the wind, more than half a person high.

The flag floated in mid-air, and the corpses below kept emitting black smoke and drifting into the flag. The most bizarre scene is that the black smoke burrowed into the flag, condensing the pale human faces, densely packed, and if you look closely, these pale human faces are the same as the faces of the corpses below.

And on the outside of the human mountain, two people wearing black robes and hats, whose faces and genders were staring at the flag, with ecstatic looks in their eyes.

One of the tall men spoke, and his voice sounded very young, "Dharma protector, I said that the head of the sect is too careful, these are all mortals, what kind of waves can be turned, at this speed, the Soul Devouring Banner doesn't know when the sacrifice will be completed." ”

"What do you know?" Another short black robe spoke, his voice was magnetic, and he reprimanded: "There are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, how do you know that there are no one or two hidden cultivators in the mortal world, it doesn't matter if you are slow, the important thing is stability, this soul devouring banner will be completed with 100,000 living beings, you must not grow branches outside the realm, if it is a big matter that is broken, you know the consequences." ”

"Got it. The tall black robe listened respectfully, and shuddered when he heard the master, but there was still some confusion in his heart, 100,000 living beings, just go and slaughter a medium-sized town, it will be completed in one day, and it will take at least three months to be so sneaky with them.

"Hmph, you are all spoiled, how do you know the outside world......" The short black robe wanted to take the opportunity to educate the tall black robe, and take a good look at this junior, but suddenly his tone changed, as if he was facing a great enemy, staring at the entrance of the canyon, and shouted in horror: "Who!"
