Demon Realm, Changle Palace. .

"In short, your task in going to the human world this time is to retrieve the "Wuji Orb" within three years. If you complete it on time, I will pass on the formula of "Cloud Sea Promise" to you." The Demon Emperor said casually. Leaning on the Jiulong chair, he took the teacup served by the concubine, covered the foam with the lid of the cup, and took a sip.

"It's too easy." Li Mandrill raised his black eyebrows arrogantly, and took a sip from the cup of tea in his hand full of ambition, "You can start the preparations for teaching the formula now..."

"By the way, I forgot to tell you." The Lord Demon Emperor seemed to suddenly remember something, put the half-drinked tea cup back on Shi Ji's tray, and smiled slightly, "This tea has been brewed with Xue Linglong. Keep devouring your demonic energy for three years to prevent you from revealing your identity in the human world. The disadvantage is that you cannot use the demonic energy at the same time. If you use it forcefully, you will have to endure the pain of blood retrograde for 24 hours each time. It’s too easy It's boring too, isn't it?"

The servant behind Li Man lowered his eyes silently, can't he use magic energy?That is, you can't use any mana?

Li Drill froze while holding the cup: ...

If you don't want to teach the formula, just say it, is there anyone who punishes your own son like this?

Late winter in December, Mount Huailiang.

The wind and snow were all over the sky, and the cold air was like a front.

The north wind swept across half of Huailiang Mountain with snowflakes, and it fell on the blue brick road of a dilapidated mountain temple at the foot of the mountain. In a short while, it accumulated two fingers thick.

"My lord, if Han Wei and the others haven't come back, something must have happened?" Lin Qizhang, wearing a green robe, stood by the window, looking at the movement at the gate of the courtyard.

Zheng Ze didn't respond, and sat on the stone bench calmly, with eyebrows lowered halfway, unhurriedly unfolding the map of Huailiang Mountain in his hand.The blue stripes on his body are dotted with small miscellaneous patterns, the diameter is no more than no less, exactly one inch and a half.

"The two of them went to hunt two hares and come back to drink, what could happen? You are just too greedy to sit still?" Dong Heng, who was fiddling with the charcoal brazier, interjected.The other two Jin Yiwei who were wiping their knives could not help but smile slightly upon hearing this.

"Then there's no guarantee, what if the rabbit gets so aggressive that it bites everyone?" Lin Qizhang said seriously.

Dong Heng: ...

Two royal guards can't beat a rabbit?

Brother, have you ever seen Jin Yiwei or a rabbit?

"My lord, I'm not talking nonsense. When I was a child, I saw a mouse spirit kill four people and escape. It's hard to guarantee that the rabbit in Huailiang Mountain didn't become a spirit!" Lin Qizhang seemed to still have lingering fears when he recalled the original scene. After a pause, he touched his forehead and said, "The Taoist priest I met yesterday also said that my heaven is dark, and I am afraid that I will encounter evil things in the next few days and there will be bloody disasters!"

Dong Heng asked curiously, "Didn't you ask him for the solution?"

"The Taoist priest gave me a talisman, saying that I would be fine if I drank the water from the talisman."

"Did you drink?"

"Must drink!"

Zheng Ze shook his head at Lin Qizhang, his eyes worried, "It seems that the talisman water is very powerful, not to mention evil spirits, even your brain is ruined!"

Dong Heng and the others all laughed, Lin Qizhang scratched his head, "My lord, don't believe me, this evil thing is not fabricated by Xiaoliu. Before I came out yesterday, I heard Xiaoliu say it. Master Liu is going to open a new one in the next month, and it will be called the evil spirit house."

Zheng Ze put down the map in his hand, "Exorcism?"

"No," Lin Qizhang saw that Zheng Ze was interested, and immediately added embellishments, "It is said that many Taoist priests have been quietly invited back from various places, and they are in charge of warding off evil spirits and eliminating filth."

Hearing this, Zheng Ze frowned slightly. There can be no waves without wind. This evil spirit house was definitely not built by Liu Lin on a whim.

Dong Heng said with a big grin, "That's good too. Wouldn't it save effort to ask those Taoist priests to catch ghosts and come out for trial in case of clueless cases in the future?"

"You two, it's better to study this map carefully. When the army arrives, it's a matter of rushing up the mountain to save people." Zheng Ze smashed the map in Lin Qizhang's arms, interrupting his wild nonsense.

They came to Huailiang Mountain on this trip, in fact, they came to suppress bandits and save people.In the case of water transport corruption, Zhao Jian made a good report and was called to Beijing. Unexpectedly, he was robbed by mountain bandits on the way to the mountain.When the news spread to the capital, Longyan was furious, and Jin Yiwei came to rescue people, and secretly issued another secret decree that the banditry in Huailiang Mountain must be eradicated.Regardless of whether it was a real bandit or someone wanted to kill someone with a knife, in short, when the army from the Youwei camp arrives tomorrow, this group of bandits who have been entangled in Huailiang Mountain for more than ten years are destined to disappear completely this time.

"My lord!" A figure in green robes was rushing over the heavy snow, and Lin Qizhang rushed over to help him open the door.

"My lord, something seems to have happened to the bandit den on the mountain." Han Wei was covered in snowflakes, and the hem of his robe was tinged with cold air.

Zheng Ze's eyes darkened slightly, "What happened?"

"The little one and Xu Huai were checking the terrain of the bandit village nearby. From a distance, they saw a sudden chaos in the bandit village. There were faint sounds of fighting and screams in the village. Xu Huai was still guarding where he was, and the little one came back first to pass the news. "

"Go, go and have a look!" Zheng Ze immediately got up.

Dong Heng who was next to him hurriedly took the leather bag on the case, "My lord, put on the outer bag first."

Lin Qizhang hurriedly followed behind with the map in his hand, but he was muttering in his heart, didn't they say that Han Wei and the others went to hunt rabbits?Why did you change to explore the terrain again?

In Huailiang Mountain bandit village, corpses are strewn all over the field, and the smell of blood is strong.

All the [-] people in the whole village bled to death from seven orifices.

The only survivors at the scene were Zhao Jian, who was unconscious on the ground, and another young man in black.According to the position of the corpse on the ground, Zhao Jian and the young man seemed to be surrounded by about twenty bandits when the incident happened.

"Hey, it's all settled! This will save trouble." Lin Qizhang looked around and clicked his tongue frequently.Unexpectedly, someone helped take care of the bandits in advance.

"Dong Heng, take someone to search immediately to see if there are any survivors," Zheng Ze told Dong Heng, stepped on several dead bodies, and stretched out his hand to check Zhao Jian's breath. When he saw the hot air in his nose, he put it down. Confused, he looked up at Xu Huai, "What's going on?"

"My lord, at that time the little one was a little far away, and I didn't see it clearly. I saw a few lightning-like red lights flashing by, and there was no movement in the village. When the little one came, it was the scene in front of me." , only Master Zhao and this person are still alive." Xu Huai quickly responded.

Red light?Zheng Ze lowered his eyes halfway, and moved his eyes to the young man next to him, "Do you know his identity?"

The young man's brows are sharp and unruly, and it seems that something has been bumped under his right eye, leaving a faint red mark. There is no callus on his slender fingers, and he looks like a pampered person.His clothes were made of unknown material, like silk or satin, with shimmering shimmers, and no snowflakes could accumulate on them.

Zheng Ze had a feeling that the massacre of the bandit village in front of him might have something to do with this young man.

"This man doesn't look like a bandit. I searched him, but apart from his clothes, he didn't even have a jade pendant." Xu Huai replied cautiously.

In the end, the young man and Zhao Jian were sent to an inn in a nearby city to be treated by a doctor.Together with them, there were also hundreds of boxes of belongings that had been cleared from the cottage.

Three days later, the building was empty, and the young man quietly disappeared one night.

According to Zhao Jian, they were all locked in the dungeon of bandits at that time. At first the young man had been sleeping, and when he woke up later, he broke the chain on the door with his bare hands, with astonishing power.Afterwards, the two escaped together.

After that, a huge thunder fell from the sky, stunned them all.

"This person is definitely not simple." Zheng Ze picked the lantern flower and said to Dong Heng.

"My lord, do you want to send someone out to catch him?"

Zheng Ze shook his head, "Forget it, if he really did the thing of destroying the village this time, it can be regarded as helping us, and you are not his opponent at all. If he didn't do it, then there is no need to hold on to it." He won't let go. We're not too idle to do anything."

On the roof three streets away, Li Mandrill sat bored on the roof, "Hey, it's just a night pearl, but those bandits still treat it as a treasure!"

Then, he knocked on the head of the white-haired sky fox next to him in dissatisfaction, "As a personal servant, how could you find me so late?"

Tianhu shook his ears lazily, showing no sign of fear, "Your Highness, if you stop talking east and go west next time, I promise to find you soon."

Li Mandrill: ...

Half a year later, in Luzhou, Jingsheng Palace.

Emperor Zhengcheng went to the palace to escape the summer heat, and Zheng Ze was also with him.

It was Zheng Ze who was on duty that day, and in the middle of the night, two black shadows floated across the roof of the palace wall covered with glazed tiles.

"Who is it?" Zheng Ze jumped up and ran towards the garden after the shadow.

"There are assassins!" The guards in Jin Yi immediately warned, and surrounded the palace of Emperor Zhengcheng, while another team of guards chased after Zheng Ze.

Zheng Ze chased to the Bajiao Pavilion, and saw two black shadows lying on the ground, and another figure was about to escape.

"Want to escape?" Zheng Ze drew his knife out of its sheath, and slashed at the back of the figure's neck like a shooting star.

"Hey, hey, those two on the ground are the ones who want to assassinate, not me." Li Mang stepped back while clutching his forehead in pain, this Xue Linglong was too domineering, even a trace of demon energy would not do it!

"Then why did you appear here?" Swish, swish, Zheng Ze slashed three more times.The two met each other, and Zheng Ze suddenly felt that the person looked very familiar.It was the guy I met in Huailiang Mountain back then!

Li Yao choked for a few seconds before gritted his teeth and said, "...passing by."

Zheng Ze: ...

In fact, I wanted to go to the Treasure Pavilion and went the wrong way!

Tianhu, who came to rescue his master, rolled his eyes, and raised a puff of white smoke with his puff, and brought Li Mandrill away from Zheng Ze's attack range.
