moonlit night

"You thought I'd be interested." Jun Changye still rested his hand on his forehead. Hearing her say this, he just curled his lips into an arc,

It was cold, with no warmth, and the words were straightforward, with some incomprehensibility: "Shamanhua, why do you think I'm still willing to trust you?"

"Didn't you always want to know what kind of demon your father is?" Shamanhua was clearly pale, but still smiled.She seemed to be a little exhausted, and her body began to crumble,

But still insisted:

"Now I am willing to tell you, my lord, but you dare not listen? Anyway, there is no one else here. With your ability, are you still worried that I will escape? If you want to kill me,

It won't be too late if you start after listening.But if you don't listen now, from now on, no other tribe will know better than me. "

Jun Changye tilted his head and thought for a while, and seemed to think that what she said made some sense, so he raised his hand, and actually unlocked the lock in the air, and put Shamanhua down,

Then he hooked his fingers at him, and said lightly: "Come here, tell me."

The woman leaned on the spot for a moment, rubbed her sore wrist, and then slowly stood up while supporting the burning lamppost with a lotus seat to support the candle, and gradually stepped onto the path leading to the seat of the Seven Demons in the Lone Star Pavilion. Layers of stone steps.

After passing through the penultimate floor, she half-kneeled down beside Jun Changye, then raised her head and looked at the man seated without blinking.Like Gu Xichen and Lan Ruo, Shamanhua also has a pair of beautiful eyes, as long as she wants to, she can look ecstasy, innocent and pitiful at the same time.Whenever Shamanhua stared intently at others, two silver hooks seemed to appear in those eyes, making it impossible for the person being watched to look away.

When Shamanhua and Jun Changye looked at each other for a long time, Jun Changye realized that she was wearing makeup today. The exquisite tassel earrings and the black waves outlined by the ends of the eyebrows set off the entire upper half of the woman's face. The light, bright red lips with rouge above the tip of the chin are the most intense finishing touch among the special beauty in front of her.

During these years in the Demon Race, Jun Changye's mind has been completely occupied by that person on Juechen Snow Peak, so that every day he thinks about what it will be like when he reunites with Yue Qingchen in the future .He didn't care about other people's affairs, and even ignored the changes in the people around him, so the impression of Shamanhua in his heart was still that of the weird but intelligent girl in the Xiaoxiang ancient battlefield, but it was only then that he suddenly It turns out that she has grown up to be a wife and a mother.

He knew it a long time ago, but finally at this moment, he finally figured out what it meant.

Previously, Jun Changye seemed to be entangled with Shamanhua, pretending to be ignorant of her occasional crossings and temptations, and allowed her to always be by his side, recognizing that she would continue to fight side by side with him as a demon saint. It's actually complicated.

If you count it carefully, about half of it is out of the desire to repay the kindness that she was willing to save him back to the Demon Realm and give him a place to live after he was abolished by Yue Qingchen. The other half, Shamanhua is a good helper. Before standing on the top of the demon world, she can use her status as a saint to provide Jun Changye with everything she needs; , she could find out in time, and deal with him properly, comprehensively.

In a sense, Jun Changye was able to have today, she is beyond reproach, the number one hero.

The demon king on the seat suddenly stretched out his hand, gently lifted Shamanhua's chin, and watched the woman lower her head, hiding her beautiful eyes behind the shadow left by her lowered eyelashes.He watched carefully, as if he wanted to imprint her appearance in his mind forever.

Jun Changye suddenly sighed and said, "Why is this so?"

As if waiting for his words, Shaman Huashang raised his face, reached out and held the hand he was resting on his chin.She seemed to want to defend herself, but suddenly felt that it was not appropriate, so she opened her lips slightly, and then answered Jun Changye's original question.

"Feizhen went to Xiaoxiang because of Ningbi Palace." She closed her eyes, and gently pressed her side face against the man's palm, putting on a flattering gesture, appearing humble and well-behaved, "Long Ye, You only knew that Ningbi Palace could be used by us before, and that the Lord of Ningbi Palace is willing to listen to me. But have you never thought about why someone like Jing Zhao, who seems to be upright and upright, would be willing? Do you obey the orders of the demons?"

The man's voice came from the front, and he seemed to be puzzled: "Tell me, why is this?"

"Because of a secret, because he wants to keep a common secret with the demons." Shamanhua said softly, but in a place where Jun Changye could not see, her expression suddenly became innocent and cruel, "Because the old The Patriarch of the Jing Family, Jing Mu, who is also Jing Zhao's father, made a mistake in the Demon Race. That mistake was so great that once Master Cang Jue took it into his hands, he panicked. He hastily took the initiative to swear and swear, saying that as long as His Majesty does not disclose this secret to others, he is willing to serve as an ox or a horse and serve the demons for the rest of his life, and this oath can even be extended to his descendants."

"Oh?" Jun Changye became interested: "Do you know what the secret is?"

"About this secret, Manhua does know a thing or two." Shamanhua nodded lightly, and her white cheeks began to rub against his palm intentionally or unintentionally, "Your Majesty, you know that the Demon Lord Cangjue died in Leping because of a sword." The matter of Jun Jianxia has formed a grudge with the entire Luo family in Xiaoxiang? But at that time, the chaos of ghosts had not yet begun, and he could not be an enemy of the entire cultivation world because of this, but in the later period, the situation was very different.

At that time, for a while, Qin Sheng suddenly disappeared. At that time, the power of the three-clan alliance of demons and ghosts reached its peak. s.If your father wants to avenge Senior Dao Sha, he will naturally kill Lord Le Ping first, and then kill Yu Xu of the Maoshan sect, so as to make an example of you.But if it's just killing, it's really boring.It just so happened that that old thing Jing Mu was also there. In fact, with a little bit of thinking, the Ningbi Palace in Xiaoxiang can be opened up as a base camp for our clan to stay behind in the cultivation world.Your Majesty, if you were, what would you do? "

She threw this tricky question to him, but for Jun Changye, the answer was almost ready to come.

Almost without thinking, he replied casually:

"Let Jing Mu's hands be covered with Le Pingjun's blood."

Sha Manhua seemed to have known that he would answer like this, but she still covered her lips with a smile, and praised: "Chang Ye, you are indeed the son of the Demon Lord Cang Jue. Le Ping Jun is a tough one, but Jing Mu is soft. If you give him two Lu, life is a death, if you choose, you must choose to save your own life first. As for the other things, the so-called brotherhood and in-laws, at this time, they can all be left behind."

"So, Luo Mingche's father was actually killed by Jing Zhaozhi's father?" Jun Changye smiled with interest, "This relationship is interesting, let's go on."

So Shamanhua went on to say: "I heard from my elder brother that after Jing Mu killed Lord Leping, he threw his body into the wilderness, let wolves pick it up, and eagles pecked it. He died in a miserable state, and he didn't even keep his body. There is only half a skeleton that has not been devoured. But what is interesting is that he still has to pretend to be a friend with all his heart and soul, and he has to bring this remnant body back to Xiaoxiang from the Northern Territory. , and brought it back to Leping Jun's son, so that he could be buried in peace.

But Jing Mu knew the cruel truth that was hidden behind everything, he knew what was going on, he knew what kind of person he was, and he was always timid.So after returning to Xiaoxiang, facing the gratitude of the Luo family, he hardly had a good night's sleep, and not long after that, he died of illness. "

Jun Changye frowned: "Then what method did you use to continue to control Jing Zhao?"

"Use a secret medicine." Sha Manhua smiled slightly, "Actually, at the beginning, your father was not interested in Jing Mu's son, but he was more interested in Le Pingjun's son, who is now Heng Wu. Jun, Luo Mingche. But Mr. Hengwu was already famous at that time, and his cultivation base was high, so it was difficult to control, so he took the second best and chose Jing Zhao instead. He asked Jing Mu to bring that secret medicine back , made a medicated bath, and let Jing Zhao soak in it for half a year to practice.

After this medicine enters the human body, its initial effect is mostly to strengthen the body, and it can even speed up the speed of cultivation.This is probably the reason why those human races hate demon cultivators, because although they have spent the same amount of time with each other, the speed of cultivating with demon clan skills is three times or even five times that of ordinary people.

But at the same time, Jing Zhao's cultivation base will become higher and higher as he grows older, and the higher his cultivation base, the greater the negative impact this medicine will have on him.Changye, you know, the more a person gets used to the rapid improvement in practice, the more difficult it will be to get rid of this temptation, and eventually become addicted, unable to extricate himself.What's more frightening is that if he loses the blessing of this secret medicine, he will be more likely to go astray and become obsessed during practice. "

"So, just a single medicine can make a person obediently obey the demons?" Jun Changye shook his head, "Don't you think it's actually a bit difficult? Jing Zhao is about the same age as Mr. Hengwu, and he also studied under Le Ping Jun, I have always admired his way of cultivation. I have been in contact with Palace Master Ningbi, and I vaguely feel that he is definitely not a weak and incompetent person like his father. Therefore, if Jing Zhao has more backbone, it is not impossible. Quit it."

"Your Majesty, it seems that although you have been a human being, you don't really understand people's hearts." Shamanhua raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a smile, "As you said, Jing Zhao is about the same age as Mr. Hengwu, and even It was the Zhegui meeting that I attended in the same year. Aside from Jing Mu’s third son who died early, Jing Zhao’s elder sister was once the Taoist partner of Lord Leping’s eldest son, Luo Mingchuan, and he himself married the younger sister of Lord Hengwu, Luo Ming Jia. It is conceivable how close the relationship between these two families should be in daily life.

But Mr. Hengwu was ranked the leader in the Zhegui Association that year, and since then he has been on the rise, not only won the favor of Qin Shengzun, but also managed such a huge family business as the Luo family in an orderly manner.As for Ningbi Palace, it used to be a sect comparable to the Wochan Temple in the past, but in the hands of Jing Zhao's father and himself, it was completely devastated.And his own ranking in the Zhegui Club is only in the top ten.You said, if you give him a chance, let him see the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Hengwu, or even surpass him, will he be able to bear it?Would he not want to replace it? "

Jun Changye didn't refute her, but his eyes darkened, but the fingers hidden on the handle on the other side of the Qisha seat slowly curled up.

"And that secret," Shamanhua continued as if he didn't realize it, "he also knows his father's ulterior secret. Your lord, think about it, they have been under the Hengwu Lord and the Xiaoxiang Luo family for so many years." Would you be grateful to Dade from the bottom of your heart for your kindness and care?

No, absolutely not.Momentary guilt may make a person want to be more kind to his benefactor, but that kind of guilt that is so long that there is no end to it, that kind of kindness that does not know how to repay, or even cannot repay at all, will make people Dislike of self.The heavier the kindness, the deeper this kind of self-loathing will become, and it will even swell to swallow up the conscience.And in the end, people often do things that ordinary people may find incredible out of the desire to get rid of the disgust and the desire to prove that 'they are not worthless'.

"As for Jing Zhao, this point has already been vividly reflected.

"My lord, he can't turn back a long time ago."

"But now, there must be some kind of problem there," Jun Changye mercilessly pulled his hand from the woman's cheek, "otherwise, why did you send the right envoy to Xiaoxiang?"

"Brother Feizhen? In fact, when did he really listen to my orders?" Shamanhua stared blankly at the other's withdrawn hand, his expression was obviously a little disappointed, and there was even a little anger in his eyes. Yes, his tone also became a little unhappy: "Your Majesty also knows that Manhua had already broken up with the right envoy for your smooth access to the throne. What kind of elder brother is he like him? I'm afraid I'll be so nice to you all day long." Master is so obsessed that he almost can't even find Bei, so how can he have time to pay attention to me?"

Jun Changye's eyes suddenly became sharper, he grabbed her wrist, and said coldly, "You lied to me?"

"No," Shamanhua bit her lips, trying not to cry out in pain, but tears gradually filled her eyes, "Manhua... Manhua just heard that the right envoy vaguely mentioned that she was going to Jing Zhao's place , to get the secret medicine back, so I ventured to guess that he disappeared this time, he should have gone to Xiaoxiang. Your lord... If you have any doubts in your heart, you might as well go to Xiaoxiang to see for yourself."

"Then where is your master?" Jun Changye asked back, "Where is your master now?"

"Your Majesty should ask Mr. Wang Shu about this matter?" She raised her eyes and stared at him, "You listen to what Mr. Wang Shu said. If he tells you to go, you go. But what I said , but you refuse to believe a word?"
