Chapter 20: Protecting the People

Zhao Qi, who woke up in the morning, felt his mind explode, last night, too many divine souls wanted to communicate with him, for Zhao Qi, who had not cultivated divine souls, it was like a burden like a mountain, if he didn't have the ghost spirit controlling the number of people next to him, his divine soul would have dried up and died on the spot.

Zhao Qi didn't even know how he came back last night, but he vaguely remembered that he fell when he climbed over the wall, and someone next to him scolded him. However, Zhao Qi, who was paralyzed until noon, was already able to get up in good spirits, but his sloppy eyes still worried Granny Lan.

Last night, Granny Lan woke up and had been immersed in sadness, knowing that there was movement in the yard, so she wiped her eyes dry, picked up the oil lamp and went out to check. As a result, I saw Zhao Qi lying by the wall like a dead dog, and Granny Lan, who was worried that Zhao Qi was cold and sick, took a lot of effort to help Zhao Qi back into the house.

After last night's vision, the people of Yong'an, who were originally frightened by the demon calamity, became much more down-to-earth, as if there was a protective god above their heads, but whenever they looked up, they could only see the clear sky and the dazzling sun.

It's really warm to shine on the body! This is the common feeling of the people of Yong'an.

Those old people who heard the news of the death of the deceased had a thunderous habit out of thin air, and every day before dinner, they would put incense sticks on their deceased relatives and pray.

In the evening, when Zhao Qi was thinking about things, his headache was reduced a lot, and after Zhao Qi woke up, Granny Lan didn't ask more, nor did she say what she saw and heard last night, everything was as usual.

Zhao Qi was lying on the bed, staring at the roof with wide eyes, he knew why the people of Yong'an would feel at ease, if it weren't for the demons, if it weren't for those behind the scenes, Zhao Qi would never reveal the fact that he was the Shaoshang Emperor, and he would not bother those dead souls.

In order to give birth to the spirit of the devil as soon as possible and have the power to protect the people, countless souls resolutely chose to sacrifice themselves, taking their own souls as sacrifices, and injecting the only two obsessions into it!

Protect Your Majesty!

While the strength of the demonic spirits is growing rapidly, thousands of dead souls are not reincarnated, and the true spirits are scattered. They were the souls of the slaughtered people, who had been wandering over Yong'an for more than ten years. Now, for the sake of the people, he was wiped out at the request of Emperor Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi was ashamed to die, hated his powerlessness, hated his willfulness, and ignored the people of Limin, he no longer had those bullshit words to change his life, and he no longer had the unstoppable arrogance to rush to the sky, only full of chagrin and guilt, and boundless sadness overwhelmed him, so that he didn't dare to close his eyes, because if he closed his eyes, those murmurs last night would appear in his mind.

"It's my incompetence! I've hurt you......"

It wasn't until dawn the next day that Zhao Qi fell asleep exhausted. The demons in Yong'an City are also after that day, alleviated too much, many monsters just sneaked into Yong'an City not long after, they died violently on the side of the road, the people can often see the corpses of some strange creatures, such as the willow tree carved with a human face, the wild boar that weighed more than a thousand catties, and the big snake that was two feet long...... These monsters have once again become a hot rumor, and the people are grateful to the "heroes" who do good deeds without leaving a name.

Half a month later, the problem caused by the overload of Zhao Qi's soul completely subsided, because the vitality lost by the practice of communicating with ghosts and gods was also made up for by Granny Lan's careful care.

In the past, Zhao Qi communicated with ghosts and gods, and he didn't need to make such a big effort at all, he went there directly, and the ghosts and spirits from all over the world caught up to pay homage, but Zhao Qi, who had no cultivation, could only borrow sandalwood, and in order to convince the ghost spirit, Zhao Qi also released his own blood and divine soul breath.

During the period of recuperation, Hu Meier timidly came to the door of the small courtyard, if it wasn't for Granny Lan to go out and bring this idiot back, Hu Meier's little Zhao Qi breath would not be able to save her demon life. In today's Yong'an, any foreign cultivator is trembling, and there is no such thing as a high shelf.

Hu Meier looked for Zhao Qi, there must be nothing else, while Granny Lan went to the kitchen to work, Hu Meier hurriedly explained her intentions.

"Brother, I still want to become an immortal, I want to take one step at a time! The people of the Ice Palace have committed too many sins, they can't be arrogant for too long, I want to live, I want to see their destruction with my own eyes, and even be able to take revenge at a critical time. In this way, I will have the grace to face the lost people. ”

"Alas|!"

Although Hu Mei'er's state is much better, Zhao Qi knows that it is all an appearance, she just hides that bitter hatred in her heart, if she conflicts with the Ice Palace again, it will definitely explode a thousand times and a hundred times, Zhao Qi has no choice but to sigh helplessly,

"Okay, you live in my house now, as long as you don't hurt the people of Yong'an, you won't be invaded by evil spirits. When I recover, I'll teach you the Immortal Method. ”

Under Zhao Qi's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Granny Lan finally agreed to Hu Mei'er to stay, but it was still three chapters of the law.

After Hu Meier finished breakfast, she had to go back to her room, and Zhao Qi went to the study to read.

When guests come to the house, Hu Meier is not allowed to appear. I have to say that Hu Mei'er is really stupid, she has been practicing Taoism for more than 300 years, and even her human form has not changed well, and her small tail leaks from time to time, or with a pout, the fox ears suddenly stand up.

Hu Mei'er can't use demon magic.

These had no effect on Hu Mei'er, who was dedicated to cultivation, so she nodded in agreement. In the next "happy" family of three, Granny Lan hardly had a good look at Hu Meier, at most, she shouted Hu Meier when she was eating.

Granny Lan is very resistant to Hu Meier's arrival in her heart, and most of these recent things have been caused by Hu Meier. Zhao Qi not only didn't calm down to study for a while, but also kept being injured, which made Granny Lan very worried.

No matter how little she reads, Granny Lan also knows that learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, if Zhao Qi forgets what he learned before, even if it is just a little bit, it will affect Zhao Qi's fame, and now what is even more terrible is that Hu Meier actually lives in his own house, does Zhao Qi still have the heart to study? Although Zhao Qi is a well-behaved and filial child, he is only a child at a playful age!

After listening to Zhao Qi's explanation, Hu Meier could only be more cautious, for fear of touching Granny Lan's bottom line and being kicked out of the house.

Li Hu has been so happy recently, the demon trouble has been eliminated, and the hired demon subduer has also been sent out of Yong'an City by him and his younger brother with a pleasant face, leaving a large balance on hand. Although Li Hu doesn't know which god has eliminated the demon trouble, he doesn't need to know as a common person, he only knows that the brothers will be able to eat and drink spicy food next, and he doesn't need to be like a demon slayer with his nostrils facing the sky every day.

Outside Yong'an City, in a gloomy and terrifying cave on the North Mountain, a middle-aged man in a black robe and hood fell nervously on the ground, as if a big cauldron had begun in the depths, and the sound of bubbles rising out of the water kept coming.

"Han Yao, there has been a shortage of blood food recently!"

Listening to the words that came from the cave without anger and authority, and thinking of the king's decisiveness in killing, Han Yao was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, and explained tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, it's not that you don't work hard. We don't know why, the monsters that drove to Yong'an City have all died on the side of the road for no apparent reason, and they haven't had time to cultivate for a few days, and we don't know the root cause. However, it is rumored among the people that a protector god has recently appeared in Yong'an City and solved the demon trouble. Ask the king to learn from it!"

"Oh, there is still a protector in Yong'an City, who is fighting against this king? I will find out about this matter, but Han Yao! If you delay this king's cultivation, you don't have to go out. Stand down!"

Han Yao hurriedly crawled outside the cave, blood flowed from his knees, and he didn't say a word. It wasn't until he looked up and saw the sun that he breathed a long sigh of relief like a new life, and his pale face gradually became more bloody. Thinking that something would go wrong again and his life would be in jeopardy, Han Yao glanced at his subordinates around him and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!" If Li Hu was on the side, he would definitely be able to see that these people gathered together were all hired demon slaying masters.

After Han Yao left, the cave gradually calmed down, and suddenly an illusory bloody eye on the top of the mountain slowly opened, emitting a cruel and evil red light. The people in the cave glanced at Yong'an City, then withdrew their gaze and said to themselves, "I see! It must be delicious......
