"Little rabbit, where have you been? Come, sit in front of me, and talk to my mother-in-law!"

Zhao Qi pushed it away lightly, and saw Granny Lan sitting at the dining table angrily, with a rolling pin leaning against the wall, which was very abrupt. Being stared at by Granny Lan, Zhao Qi was a little flustered, and seeing that he couldn't hide from it, he leaned at the gate of the courtyard and explained loudly:

"Mother-in-law, Qi'er went to the door to thank Brother Li, several brothers inside liked me very much, and played with me for a while, which caused me to come back late. ”

"Why are you standing in the doorway? ”

Seeing that Granny Lan's face was a little softened, Zhao Qi hurriedly ran to Granny Lan and sat down obediently opposite Granny Lan, smiling, looking like listening to the teachings, so that Granny Lan couldn't let out her anger, so she had to helplessly admonish:

"Qi'er, I know that Master Tiger has a great favor to our family, but you should deal less with them in the future, don't mess up. A gentleman repays the favor, and there is a way to repay it, and after you are the top student in high school, we will repay today's kindness. ”

"Yes, mother-in-law. I know. I promise to try to deal with Brother Li as little as possible in the future. ”

How could Granny Lan not hear Zhao Qi's powerlessness in guaranteeing, but if Zhao Qi refused to associate with Li Hu in the future, this was not the proper attitude towards his benefactor, and it was against benevolence and righteousness.

"I really don't know why Master Tiger takes so much care of you!",

After listening to the lecture, Zhao Qi got up and went to the kitchen to bring out the food, originally thinking that he would be able to avoid punishment by performing well, but at the dinner table, Granny Lan still gave Zhao Qi a foot restriction order, on the grounds that Yong'an City has not been peaceful recently, and many demons and monsters have made trouble. In order to stay at home more consciously and honestly, Granny Lan whispered in Zhao Qi's ears about the terrible things that were rumored in the market, and finally cited the tragedy that happened around her.

Maybe it was Zhao Qiqi's stunned appearance that made Granny Lan mistakenly think that Zhao Qi was frightened, and Granny Lan finally added, "But don't be afraid, as long as you don't go out after dark, nothing will happen." Do you hear that?"

Zhao Qi nodded stiffly, he was only a little suspicious before, but it wasn't until Granny Lan said so much that Zhao Qi realized the seriousness of the demon trouble, and this matter was very strange!

In addition to the natives of Yong'an City, the demonic aura will erode every outsider, which is the obsession of thousands of dead creatures, and is hostile to outsiders.

The demons who are intellectually enlightened should avoid Yong'an City, just like Hu Mei'er didn't dare to set foot in Yong'an City at the beginning, just because she was afraid of losing her mind in it. Are these demons dying? And the demons who can be defeated by the demon slayer, the kind of foot pickers who belong to the strength of the vegetables, how can they set foot in Yong'an City?

Unless...... Zhao Qi suddenly thought of a similar example - the snake repellents who crossed the west, who could use the sound of the flute to drive away the poisonous snakes of the entire mountain forest to plague mountain villages and even some prosperous big cities. The biggest headache of the Qingyue Dynasty is these corpse chasers hiding in the depths of the mountains and forests, and they can't eat their flesh.

Zhao Qi guessed that a group of people used coercion and lure the demon beast to drive the demon to Yong'an City, but what was the purpose of their doing this?

Just in case, Zhao Qi decided to take action to curb it, he didn't care about the life and death of other people, just like when Hu Xiangu seduced the woodcutter, he was unmoved and didn't interfere. But he also had to go into danger for Granny Lan, alas, just thinking about it made Zhao Qi have a headache, he really didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the cultivation realm, how could a plain and peaceful life be so difficult to obtain!

The next day, Zhao Qi went to Li Hu and asked Li Hu to help make nine fine sandalwood sticks, plus an incense burner. When Li Hu asked about the use of sandalwood, Zhao Qi generously said the words "Pray for God to keep safe", and the lobby laughed together, laughing at Zhao Qi's timid voice, Zhao Qi didn't bother to justify, and after sitting for a while, a little brother presented the object, Zhao Qi held it in his arms, and left as if no one was around.

The people who thought that Zhao Qi was trying to save face couldn't close their mouths, and when Zhao Qi walked out of the distance, he could hear Tian Feng's loud voice, muttering hatefully, "Tian Feng!

After dinner, Zhao Qi greeted Granny Lan and went to bed early. When he arrived, Zhao Qi quietly slipped out of the courtyard from the window holding the incense burner and sandalwood, and began to run wildly when he stepped on the road, Zhao Qi knew that he didn't have much time left, and he had to be careful to watch out for anyone around him while running.

For most of the hour, Zhao Qi ran to the ruins of the imperial city, and he stopped at the Minhe Hall in the center of the imperial city, which was the highest place in the imperial city. Zhao Qi carefully filled the incense burner with dirt, bit his finger and dripped a few drops of his own blood on it, respectfully placed it at the top of the steps, and then there was a long wait.

Just after the hour, Zhao Qi, who was shivering from the cold, saw that no one was peeping, took out the fire fold and lit the sandalwood, endured the discomfort from his nose, took a breath of smoke, and then began to worship.

I saw Zhao Qi with his left hand on it, holding the incense in the palm of his hand with his right hand, raising his eyebrows, and bowing deeply three times with a solemn expression, before respectfully inserting the incense into the incense burner at one time, and at the same time slowly exhaling the smoke inhaled in his chest, mixed with sandalwood smoke and rising into the air.

Zhao Qi, who had done everything, sat down cross-legged at the foot of the steps and waited quietly.

If the people of the Ice Palace were still there, they could see that a thin line of smoke slowly rose into the air, and the smoke condensed but did not disperse. Just when the black and oppressive clouds came into contact with this burst of smoke, the evil qi in the sky was like hot magma, and it became more and more intense, until finally suddenly Yong'an City was violently windy, and the dark clouds formed by the evil qi surrounded the imperial city layer by layer. A black line rushed down from the sky in the smoke, slowly stopping at the upper end of the incense burner, zigzag and changed like a human face.

At this time, Zhao Qicai slowly got up and said in a deep voice: "I, Shaoshang Emperor Zhao Qi." ”

At the moment when Zhao Qi revealed his identity, the ghosts in the sky above Yong'an shouted, and under the dull breath, the needles in Yong'an City could be heard, and only the wind blew through the window edge, leaving a scalp-numbing whining sound through the crack in the door. The old people who were about to enter the ground were already asleep, but they were woken up by the wind, and they looked out of the window stupidly, and the old people who thought that they would never cry in their lives, their dry eyes burst into tears, rolled through the wrinkles, and fell on the edge of the bed.

They can hear the cries of relatives and friends in the wind, and the relatives in the wind are so aggrieved, so hateful, and so helpless. A dull whining echo echoed through the room from the old man's pursed mouth, and the old man did not dare to stretch out his hand, for they were afraid that they would not be able to hold on, and would go to their parents, wives and children.

The old people are not afraid of death, they are afraid that their grandchildren will have no one to take care of, they all want to give their children a bright future, and then die on this land with peace of mind, and go to see their relatives in heaven with peace of mind. The heaving chest, the bulging fists, the trembling fists, all of them were trying to control themselves.

Perhaps it was the ghosts who saw the hearts of their relatives, and the wind gradually rose and fled towards the imperial city! Sensing that the ghosts of their relatives had left, the old man pounded the bed board fiercely. The young people who had lost the pressure heard the old man's movements, and they all got up one after another to ask with concern.

Zhao Qi, who was in the imperial city, didn't know that Granny Lan also heard the cry of the ghost clearly, and Granny Lan was approaching! It's a pity that Zhao Qi was not there, and Granny Lan didn't know the reason.

Zhao Qi's surroundings were already shrouded in a layer of darkness, leaving only a pair of eyes to look at the ghostly spirit above the incense burner,

"I know that I am speechless in the face of the people of Great Xia, and I have no shame to disturb the rest of everyone, but for the sake of the well-being of the living in eternal peace, I can only come to ask everyone. Yong'an demon trouble, I hope everyone can take action to resist one or two, for the living to be a certain peace!

If you have a grudge in your heart, you can put it on me, let me bear the endless karmic fruits, and I just hope that you can protect my people forever. Please!"

Zhao Qi slowly stood up and bowed towards the incense burner, reluctant to get up for a long time. Just when Zhao Qi thought he had failed, thousands of voices remembered in his mind,

"Your Majesty, I am willing to protect everyone's ......"

"Your Majesty, I don't hate you! You liberated me, I only hate the damned coalition ......"

"Your Majesty,......"

Finally, there was a rumbling sound, and a voice overpowered everyone, "Your Majesty, even if we die, we will be grateful for Your Majesty's great kindness, and we dare not have the slightest complaint." In the future, we will protect the living in eternal peace, and I hope Your Majesty will have peace of mind......"

waited until the voice in Zhao Qi's head disappeared before he straightened up and found that the sandalwood had been burned out. After bowing down three times, he buried the incense burner in the dirt and crawled home with difficulty, escorted by ghosts along the way......
