Chapter 475
475 I’m afraid he’ll misunderstand
“It’s too late. The demonic Qi can’t be tracked here.”
Li Chu followed the traces of the demonic aura all the way out of Jinque Kingdom and into the boundless yellow sand. He lost his guidance for a moment.
In this place, the wind was blowing, the yellow sand was rolling, and the ancient, desolate, and vigorous energy had mixed everything, making the faint demonic energy indistinguishable.
“But it doesn’t look like there’s any living thing here.” Elder du said.
Even demons needed soil to survive. Where there were no living creatures, there were no demons.
it’s not impossible to survive in the desert, ” Li Chu looked down at his feet and then looked up at the sky. it’s just that the creatures here are not so obvious.
“Oh!” Elder du pounded his hands. that’s right, on earth or in the sky! But Where can I find Yingluo?”
“You can ask someone.” Li Chu said.
“Find someone to ask?” Elder du was stunned, not understanding what he meant. Where did these people come from?
Li Chu did not answer and waited quietly. After a while, a sharp wail was heard above their heads.
“There’s demonic Qi!” Li Chu’s gaze sharpened and he pointed.
“Whoosh-”
The pure yang sword was instantly unsheathed, turning into a fiery meteor that shot through the sky, flashing past.
The howling in the air stopped abruptly and turned into a cry of alarm.
“Ah!”
Plop!
A large bird was startled and fell to the ground, splashing sand and dust.
When the smoke and dust dispersed, the two of them went over and saw a huge sand pit on the ground. In the pit, there was a large bird with a human body and wings. It was a small demon that had not fully transformed.
Seeing two people in Taoist robes standing by the pit and staring at him, the Birdman immediately quivered and woke up. He turned over and got up, then immediately knelt in the pit.
“Two shangxian! The small demon didn’t mean to offend her. It was just that it was accidentally passing by and was shocked by the flying sword of the shangxian, causing it to fall. This little demon deserves to die for disturbing your peace. Please let this little demon go!” He came up to her and started pleading.
“Please get up.” actually, I was just blocking the way on purpose, ” Li Chu said. I just wanted to find out some things.
“Inquire about something?” The Birdman blinked.
Looking at Li Chu’s calm expression and the sword on his back, he couldn’t help but feel his feathers stand on end.
Good fellow, you call this inquiring about things? This was clearly an unsuccessful attempt to kill a bird.
However, that sword attack clearly had a deterrent effect. The Birdman immediately showed a warm smile.
“Daoist priest, if there’s anything you want to know, you can just ask. I will tell you everything I know.”
Li Chu nodded. we’re new here. Some of our companions were caught by demons. It was taken away by a black wind from the Jinque Kingdom. I followed the demonic Qi all the way here and happened to see you appear here in the Suan ni.”
“I swear to the heavens!” The Birdman stood up and shouted, ” “Daoist priest, this arrest has nothing to do with me! I’m just an innocent and kind sand Eagle. I can catch some wild rabbits and have a good meal, but I don’t dare to think of eating people, aoaoaoaoaoaoao ”
“I know. That demonic Qi is different from yours.” Li Chu said, ” I just want to know what the biggest demon King is within a few hundred miles.
He knew very well that a demon with the guts and cultivation to sneak into Jinque Kingdom to capture living people was not simple. It had to be at least at the level of a Demon King. And in these hundreds of miles of yellow sand, there probably wouldn’t be many demon kings.
The idiot heaved a sigh of relief and quickly replied, ” “The two of you may not know this, but the yellow sand within a radius of 300 miles is the territory of the two demon kings of yellow sand Cave, Jinkou and yingou.”
For fear that he would not give a detailed explanation, he added, ” “These two demon kings are both sand scorpions. They have powerful cultivation and usually eat countless people. If you lose anyone in this area, they’re definitely the right person to look for.”
“Gold hook, silver hook,” Li Chu muttered, ” “We have to find master as soon as possible. We don’t know what they’re suffering right now. If we’re too late, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
At the mention of his master’s suffering, old DU’s ears suddenly twitched as if he had recalled some tragic past.
He couldn’t help but scratch his head and said in a low voice, ” “Suffering? It might not be a bad idea.”
……
“Bao, you must have had a hard time all these years without me, right?”
Yu Qi ‘an held Empress Ming Yan’s hand and sat with her on the Dragon Throne in the inner hall of the palace as he asked gently.
“Bao, it’s actually fine. Other than the heart-wrenching longing, there’s nothing more bitter.” Empress Ming Yan replied.
“Bao, tell me how you’ve been all these years.” Yu Qi ‘an said.
“Bao, it’s all thanks to the jade pendant you left me.” Empress Ming Yan took out a warm Jade tablet from her bosom.
“Because it’s a love token you gave me, I’ve always carried it with me. I didn’t expect that from then on, my cultivation would be twice as effective with half the effort, and I would make a thousand miles in a day. I became the most talented female cultivator in Jinque country. Only then was she chosen by the king to enter the palace and become the Empress. After a few years, a senior expert told me that this was the legendary Heaven’s Heart Jade. It’s a priceless treasure that doesn’t have more than three pieces in this world. Wearing it to cultivate is like being assisted by the gods. It can turn a mortal into a genius in this world. At that moment, I realized how much you loved me back then, to even maliciously give me such a precious thing.”
“Bao, there’s no distinction between you and me. I’ve even given you all my heart and soul, nothing is more precious than this.” Yu Qi ‘an didn’t even look at the jade pendant. He shook his head indifferently.
“Bao, is it like this? Then, do you still have the love token I gave you?” Empress Ming Yan asked.
of course, Bao. I’ll take it out and play with it when I’m free. I miss you, my true love. Yu Qi ‘an said.
“Bao, but isn’t the token I gave you a little rabbit? It’s still alive after so many years?” Empress Ming Yan asked puzzledly.
“Treasure, it’s indeed a rabbit Pixiu!” Yu Qi ‘an turned his eyes and said, ” I found a companion for it. It gave birth to many little rabbits, generation after generation. The Pi Xiu I’m playing with now is its descendant. I think, since we can’t be together forever, it’s better to let it replace our happiness.”
“Bao, you really love me.” Empress Ming Yan’s eyes were filled with tears.
“……”
Your Highness, the little koi fish has fallen asleep while sitting.
Wang longqi was trying to keep his eyes open. His eyes were bloodshot and had dark circles, but he was still listening to the conversation, for fear of missing any knowledge.
The admiration he had for Yu Qi ‘an was about to overflow.
The old Daoist could actually maintain his sweet nothings for an entire night without slacking off. He was really a model for his generation. If it were him, he could still hold on for the first half of the night, but he would probably show fatigue in the second half of the night.
While he was studying, a Palace servant came up and said, ” “Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor requests an audience.”
“I really hate Yingluo.” Empress Ming Yan turned her head and said, ” “Bao, wait for a while. I’ll go deal with some things and come back to you.”
“Baby, I’ll wait for you for a lifetime.”
……
Xie ding, who had not slept for a night and was extremely Haggard, looked at Empress Ming Yan, who also had not slept for a night but was radiant, and could not help but show a bitter smile.
“Empress, don’t forget that those two people are with the koi fish,” he quickly said. If we want to put the koi into the Golden pool of destiny, we have to deal with them first.”
“That’s right, I’ve also thought about this problem.” “So I’ve decided not to take this koi,” Empress Ming Yan said calmly.
“Empress!” “The state affairs are more important, Empress.” Xie ding Zhenren said anxiously.
I have my own plans. Don’t mention this matter again. I’m not going to argue with you because of the state preceptor’s hard work all these years. Empress Ming Yan furrowed her brows slightly.
After a pause, she continued: ” in addition, if there is nothing else, just let my disciple pass on the message. There is no need to come to the palace to find me. I am afraid he will misunderstand.
“Ha?”
Xie ding Zhenren’s body trembled and felt the cold wind of the hot summer blowing. A basin of ice water poured down his bald head and into his back, the cold penetrating his bones.
He was so dejected that he didn’t even know how he walked out of the Hall’s entrance. Only then did he come back to his senses.
It was as if the world had collapsed. Goose feathers fell, snowflakes fluttered, and the north wind whistled.
He looked up at the sky and shouted in despair, ” “No…”
