When the devil

As Yu Wanfeng said before, because the first emperor died of evil spirits, according to the customs passed down from generation to generation in Zhaoyang, even the emperor's mausoleum can only be built at the foot of Foshan, a hundred miles away from Yudu.

Speaking of that Foshan, there are even more rumors. It is said that every plant, tree, water, and sand on that mountain are the blessings of gods and Buddhas. Souls contaminated with evil spirits can be purified on that mountain as long as they correct their evil spirits. Avoid the suffering of eighteen levels of hell.

The above are all stories that Xia Zhou heard from a storyteller who didn’t know where. Wei Ling waited for him to finish and then slowly added: "That mountain is called Zongyuan Mountain, and it is a place blessed by the Holy Buddha. There used to be a holy monk with high mana living in seclusion, known as the Northwest Clan, and his adoptive father once fought against him, and he was on par with him."

Starting from Yudu, the radius of a hundred miles is within the enchantment of Tailiyuan, and the magic of immortality is restricted. Whether it is flying with a sword or abusing magic, it will cause trouble. Xiazhou borrowed two horses from Youwang Mansion, and by the way Dressed up as high-flyers, they seldom stopped in order to hurry, and finally found a tea shop to rest. Xia Zhou began to tell the rumors he heard from the storyteller.

He ordered brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, and at the moment he is picking up a piece to feed Wei Ling: "I have heard about Xibei Shi, that he was the one who went to the emperor and said 'the one who wins the white phoenix wins the world' and made you miserable gone."

Wei Ling stuttered, the taste was quite sweet.

"A Ling, if we meet him, will we kill him or not?" Xia Zhou waited for Wei Ling to eat half of it, then turned his chopsticks back, and ate the rest by himself.

Wei Ling said: "Since Zongyuan Mountain was built as a royal mausoleum, the surrounding ghosts and snake gods have long since disappeared. Where can I kill them?"

Xia Zhou stirred the brown sugar to play: "Xiemen, the ashes of the emperor's relatives can still drive away demons."

Wei Ling drank tea from a teacup, thinking about things while drinking, Xia Zhou dipped another piece of glutinous rice cake, and was about to continue feeding, when suddenly his eyes fixed and his hands were closed, Wei Ling noticed that he was abnormal, and finally returned his attention to on Xia Zhou.

"What's wrong?" Wei Ling asked him.

"Oh." Xia Zhou came back to his senses: "Just now there is some news from Murong Chenhao."

"Is there something wrong with the demon domain?"

"No, it's just a trivial matter." Xia Zhou held his chin, as if thinking: "You still remember Chaos."

"Ah."

Although Wei Ling replied calmly, she felt uncomfortable.At the beginning, he misjudged the habits of the "evil demon" in the demon domain, and almost became a plaything of Chaos. Now that he thinks about it, Chaos is different from Xia Zhou. ".

Xia Zhou also seemed to recall the unhappy past, he was silent for a moment before slowly opening his mouth: "Are you now...does your wound still hurt?"

Wei Ling put down the teacup: "His attack was poisonous. The last time he hurt me was not to kill me. Now the wound has healed."

"It's not poison, it's the erosiveness of his demonic power itself. Most of the wounds from chaos are hard to heal, but it's not impossible to heal—" Xia Zhou felt uneasy, and touched Wei Ling's leg sideways. As expected, he took the legs away and let Xia Zhou touch the legs of the table with his hands.

Wei Ling said: "Do you think there is another reason why Bai Lie's old injury has not healed?"

"Yeah." Xia Zhou shook his hands boredly, and sat upright again: "Bai Lie is a mortal body, and being eroded by chaos may affect his life. I heard from Murong Chenhao that the Fengyue celestial master made a decision immediately after learning about it." Hunt and kill Chaos, because as long as Chaos dies, the 'poison' from Chaos on Bai Lie's body will completely dissipate."

"and then?"

"Then, he spread an enchantment in Yaoyu, but he couldn't find Chaos anywhere."

Wei Ling stared at the plate of brown sugar that was made sticky by Xia Zhou, her eyes dimmed slightly, and said, "No, Chen Xiao has high mana, so it's not difficult to find a monster, and... Chaos is also flamboyant." It's a monster that doesn't accept provocations, it doesn't look like a rat who hides his breath and hides."

"You can see him thoroughly." Xia Zhou took Wei Ling's gaze as his expectation for the rice cakes, so he went back to his old business, split a piece of rice cakes into small pieces, picked them up and fed them to Wei Ling: "Another point, Regarding the 'poison' of Chaos, with the strength of the Yudu Imperial Medical Office and the Imperial Academy, it is not difficult to clear it up."

Wei Ling looked at the small piece of glutinous rice cake, and suddenly thought of something: "The demonic power of chaos can corrode mortals, can it be that—"

Before he finished speaking, rice cakes were stuffed into his mouth. Wei Ling stared at his eyes with a slight fear, and waited until he swallowed the rice cakes before slowly saying: "Could it be that Bai Lie's body is not poison, but chaos. your demonic nature?"

"Yes." Xia Zhou put down his chopsticks: "The moment Chaos was killed by Bai Lie, he infiltrated his demonic nature into Bai Lie. In this way, what fell into the abyss is just an empty shell."

The more Wei Ling thought about it, the uglier his face became: "Could it be that... Chaos came to the world with Bai Lie...?"

"When Chaos is going crazy, it even gives me a headache." Xia Zhou smiled nonchalantly: "If you are targeted by him, you won't be able to get rid of it until you die."

The Snow Wolf Army camped in the open space at the foot of Zongyuan Mountain. A fire was lit in the camp, and the cold air gradually receded amidst the crackling firewood.

The medicine boiled for Gu Xiao was delivered by Bai Lie himself. The little eunuch guarding inside took the medicine and did not let Bai Lie in. He said in a low voice, "Your Majesty and Your Majesty are tired from running around. I've already fallen asleep, the general should rest early, and I have to go up the mountain tomorrow morning."

"Yeah." Bai Lie bowed his head in salute, and retreated out of the shed.

The air was cold, with snow and rain, Bai Lie arranged for patrolling guards, and went back to the fire to keep warm.

In this trip, apart from the emperor and empress, the crown prince also traveled with the army. King You said that he had a heart disease from the previous disturbance and went out to seek medical treatment, and they will meet at the foot of the mountain at dawn tomorrow.

The prince followed Yu Wanfeng all the way, the two were talking and laughing, they seemed to have a good relationship, but there was no one at the moment, maybe they went to rest.

Yu Wanfeng was sitting next to him drinking, drinking one cup after another, not feeling drunk at all. Seeing Bai Lie, he uninvitedly moved to Bai Lie's side. His palm was neither light nor heavy, and patted Bai Lie's right shoulder: " Tomorrow is up to you, General Bai."

Bai Lie's right hand didn't hurt, but he couldn't use his strength. Yu Wanfeng slapped him, but he couldn't shake it off. Switching to his left hand seemed to imply that the injury hadn't healed for a long time.He smiled wryly and said, "Aren't you going up the mountain?"

"I can't go up." Yu Wanfeng smiled: "There is an enchantment on Zongyuan Mountain, and I feel uncomfortable when I go up."

Bai Lie looked at him: "I heard rumors before that Dean Yu, you..."

"Call me a monster." Yu Wanfeng didn't mind, and said with a smile: "This statement is true."

Bai Lie was stunned for a moment, and just about to speak, Yu Wanfeng continued, "Having practiced sorcery to my level, it doesn't matter whether it's a human or a demon."

After saying this, Yu Wanfeng started to drink. He raised his head and poured the wine jug into his mouth. His Adam's apple rolled up and down. The wine flowed down his cheeks to his neck, and then flowed into his collar.After he finished drinking the wine in the jug, he threw it away, stretched comfortably and stood up: "I'm going to bed first, General Bai, it's cold at night, you should pay more attention to your injuries."

Yu Lanfeng left, and Bai Lie was the only one left by the campfire.

He was also a little tired, his mind was in a mess, and he held his hair for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why.After a while, the bonfire was shaken by the cold wind, and Bai Lie saw his own shadow shrouded in a huge shadow, like a mountain rising from the ground standing behind him, his heart went cold for a moment, thinking that I made a mistake, and turned my head, only to see that there were only guards patrolling back and forth behind me, and there was nothing else.

"—Bai Lie"

"?!"

Something suddenly came to mind, Bai Lie stood up suddenly, his hand was already on the hilt of his sword, he moved too much, kicking over the empty wine jug beside the campfire, the surrounding guards heard the sound and looked at him in unison. Bai Lie, Bai Lie stood still, frowning, thinking about the origin of that voice just now.

The flame flickered, and his shadow spread strangely.

"General? What happened!?" The soldiers of the Snow Wolf Army saw nothing unusual and asked worriedly.

"…fine."

Bai Lie turned around and walked towards the tent, his gun was leaning against the campfire, he grabbed it, pulled aside the curtain and went into the tent.

This gun is called Xuelong Silver Spear. The head of the gun is made of snow dragon scales, covered with a long silver blade, and the shaft is taken from the bone of a beast.When Bai Lie was an adult, this gun was a gift given to him by Gu Xiao himself. Every time he went to the battlefield, he used the gun to show the enemy. In just two years, he became an existence that terrified the enemy. He was an invincible wolf on the battlefield. , The offensive is raging and invincible.

Bai Lie walked into the tent and did not rush to light the lamp. He held the silver gun in his left hand. After looking around, he slowly said, "Yaoxie, how long are you going to hide?"

There was a moment of silence, followed by wild laughter.

"Hahaha, General Bai, when did you find me?"

The monster was hiding in the shadows, and voices came from all directions, Bai Lie couldn't tell his exact location.

"Just now." In front of Bai Lie, the black shadow slowly expanded, a pair of blood-red eyes were buried deep in the darkness, and then a contemptuous smile appeared along the corner of his mouth.

"Just now." The opponent's body seemed to be covered with a layer of mud, and he stood up straight, the mud dripped slowly, and gathered into a sticky pool of disgusting things, which slowly spread around: "There is no such thing as dirty things on this mountain. No, I don't really want to go up, of course, I advise you not to go up."

Bai Lie remained unmoved, and waited for the muddy body to fade away, slowly revealing his human appearance. He finally recognized that the person in front of him was not an ordinary monster, but the crazy beast that had been entangled with him for a long time in the demon realm—— chaos.

"General Bai, what kind of eyes do you have?" Chaos snapped his fingers, and a red halo rose from the ground, instantly engulfing the empty camp in the barrier.

How could Bai Lie let him succeed? At the moment when the barrier was about to close, Bai Lie turned the blade of his spear and approached Chaos Chaos eyebrows. The killing intent from the corner of Chaos eyes made his eyes hurt. The brilliant light flashed across his feet, creating a dazzling crack on the ground, forcibly dividing the enchantment he dropped into two.

"Tsk."

Chaos cursed secretly, his body turned into mud, and climbed up to Bai Lie. He had been hiding in the wound on Bai Lie's right hand, thinking that Bai Lie's injury had not healed, so he should be able to spare some time to listen to his nonsense, but he It never occurred to me that Bai Lie could still shoot with only one left hand, and even said that the ruthlessness and speed of his shooting just now were no less than the attack before he was injured——

"Pretentious, overestimated."

Chaos concealed his whereabouts, leaving only the voice still echoing in Bai Lie's ears.

Bai Lie was vigilant about his surroundings, and finally turned his gaze back to his arm, watching the black engraving climb along the skin until it reached the palm of his right hand.

The chaotic voice was close to my ears: "Bai Lie, sooner or later I will let you understand the difference between a mortal and a demon."

Bai Lie put the gun in his hand on the table, turned his palm, and walked towards the blade of the gun. Sure enough, when he got close to the blade of the gun, the engraving on the gun flashed bright golden light.

Chaos has been hiding in his wounds, no wonder the wounds have not healed after such a long time, and even worsened...

Bai Lie looked down at the demonic texture spreading on his hands, and suddenly his heart froze, and he pressed his arms against the blade of the gun——

But, at this moment, a hand grabbed his arm.

Bai Lie was taken aback, he didn't even notice that someone was approaching, he turned his head, but saw a person who shouldn't be there, standing behind him with concern.

Prince——Gu Xuancheng.
