When the devil

153

The surroundings are very quiet, even the wind blowing the curtains has stopped.This is a strange state, as if falling into an airtight bottom, unable to breathe even a little bit of breath.

Bai Lie frowned slightly, and had a strange resistance to Gu Xuancheng in front of him, but this spontaneous thought was quickly concealed, he took a step back, and pulled out his hand with a respectful greeting: "I have seen His Royal Highness. "

There was no light in the room, but Gu Xuancheng was holding an oil lamp in his hand and placed it lightly on the table. The faint sparks stained the blade of the gun, reflecting the profile of the young heir a little strangely.

"I came in to see if there was any movement, why didn't the general light the lamp?" Gu Xuancheng drooped his eyelashes, following the firelight to fall in a fan-shaped arc.

Bai Lie hid the hand that was stained with the demon array behind his back: "The prince is laughing."

There were tingling pains in his arm, as unbearable as burning skin, chaotic and restless, he was on Bai Lie, his words could only be heard by Bai Lie, he was laughing, whispering in threatening words: "Is he the prince? Smell Why is the taste so strange, hahaha...how about I eat him first—"

Gu Xuancheng touched the handle of the oil lamp with his fingertips, and slowly slid down along the light: "I heard that the general has been injured since he came back from the demon realm, and he hasn't healed for a long time. I have many elixir for difficult and miscellaneous diseases. Do you want to try it, General?"

Bai Lie paused for a moment, then said: "The prince loves you so much, I will always remember it in my heart."

The demon power released by Chaos became more and more intense. Through the light from the oil lamp, a black shadow was cast on the ground. Gu Xuancheng saw it, but made no sound. Burning sting.

"Bai Lie, what are you still holding on to? I advise you not to underestimate me. Although my demon power is damaged, I won't lose to you... How about you kneel down and beg me to try? Please don't Kill him."

Black mud soaked from the sleeve of Bai Lie's right arm, dripping onto the ground, and flowing.Bai Lie clenched his fist with his right hand, pinching the mud that was as hot as a fire, and stepped back abruptly, using his knees to prop up the silver spear on the table, and caught it in his palm when turning it over.

He predicted the location where Chaos would appear, and as the red light intertwined, he swept across the center. The figure of Chaos had just emerged, and then dispersed like a reflection on the surface of a lake. The blood-red lights condensed into moors one by one. It suddenly bloomed in front of me.

The eyes immersed in a pool of blood suddenly widened the moment they met Gu Xuancheng.

There seemed to be a hole in the ground, cursed and filthy, condensed into a bottomless abyss.

The gun in Bai Lie's hand suddenly extinguished its luster, and all the demon sealing formations retreated completely. He looked forward in amazement, and saw the blood-red demon light aroused by the chaos, as if it wanted to be wrapped in stuffing. The eyebrows gradually faded away.

"—fuck, this, what, something..."

Chaos cursed in a low voice, but his voice became smaller and smaller, and he was quickly swallowed into a mass of black spherical objects.

Gu Xuancheng grabbed the weird thing, and waited for the black light to dissipate, turning into a blood-red bead, the light in it seemed to be on and off, shaking restlessly.

"What kind of monster is this? How long have you been pestering you?" Gu Xuancheng smiled softly: "It seems that it is not an ordinary monster to be so restless after being sealed."

Bai Lie didn't hide anything, he couldn't believe it in his eyes: "The four fierce beasts... Chaos."

Gu Xuancheng feigned surprise: "Chaos...? He followed you to the world?"

Bai Lie knelt down on one knee: "The final general is incompetent and dangerously causing a catastrophe, the chaos is fierce and brutal, please hand it over to the Taili Court as soon as possible..."

Gu Xuancheng said: "You defeated him in the Demon Realm and severely injured his demon power. It must be because he has not recovered that he was so easily sealed by me."

The Yaofeng Pearl was still vibrating violently, with a brilliant red light, as if it would burst out from inside at any moment, Gu Xuancheng's fingertips were suddenly burned, causing his hands to tremble, and the Yaofeng Pearl fell to the ground, screaming "呵"呲" softly, rolling to the side with a grunt.

The body of the bead is cracked with fine and dense cracks like a spider web.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Bai Lie stood up and prepared to pursue him, but Gu Xuancheng stretched out his hand to block him, spread his fingers with the other hand, and slowly clenched his fist in the direction of Feng Yaozhu——

The shadow on the ground suddenly rushed to the bottom of the blood-red bead, as if falling into the lake, splashing light water, the seal demon bead was swallowed in an instant, and disappeared with the shadow.

"How could I let you escape." Gu Xuancheng stared at the place where Feng Yaozhu disappeared, and smiled coldly: "Don't waste the good things that come to your door."

The following afternoon.

When Wei Ling and Xia Zhou rode all the way to Zongyuan Mountain, the sky began to snow again. People from Taili Courtyard guarded the mountain on the way up, and Yu Wanfeng personally set up tables and chairs at the mountain gate, guarding them like a door god. There, no one is allowed in.

"No wonder Taotie doesn't want to go up the mountain." Xia Zhou dragged his horse back and forth across the edge of the barrier: "A Ling, the barrier on this mountain is extraordinary, no monster would ask for trouble."

Wei Ling looked up at the mountain, the white snow was falling quietly, as if everything was peaceful and not scattered by the wind.

"However, if monsters can't go up, it means that there is no need to worry about monsters on the mountain." Xia Zhou smiled and looked at Wei Ling: "Why don't we wander around and come out once in a while, it's a pity if we don't enjoy it."

Wei Ling: "What I'm worried about is not monsters, but people. This journey so far has never been a man-made disaster."

Xia Zhou showed disappointment visibly with his naked eyes. He looked up the mountain again, but didn't speak. When he turned his head again, he was about to continue circling, but his eyes met Wei Ling.

Wei Ling sighed, and said to him: "When everything is over, I will accompany you wherever you want to go."

Xia Zhou rode a horse around Wei Ling: "I feel like I've heard this many times."

Wei Ling: "If you make a mistake again, I'll be a puppy."

Xia Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, as if observing Wei Ling's reaction.

Wei Ling met his gaze and said, "If you don't like puppies, I can be a kitten."

Xia Zhou approached with his horse, and leaned over to Wei Ling's side: "Whether you are a puppy or a cat, I like it."

Wei Ling turned his head, but his eyes passed him, and looked towards the end of the road. Soon, he heard the sound of a carriage galloping, but after a while, there was indeed a carriage galloping towards this side facing the snow.

This road is the main road to Zongyuan Mountain, and it is not surprising that there are pedestrians occasionally, Wei Ling did not dodge, but looked at the carriage a few more times.

The carriage slowed down as it passed in front of them, and stopped shortly after.When the curtain was pulled up, what was revealed was Gu Yuan's face.

"Coincidentally." Gu Yuan's eyes lit up, "I was missing you."

Xia Zhou squinted at him in distaste: "Why don't you think about us if you have nothing to do? You know that you are lucky, and you can get what you want. If you have this leisure, why don't you think about why you are still young. "

"What, what?" Gu Yuan baffled Xia Zhou.

Wei Ling cleared her throat and said seriously, "Your Highness is going to the mountain?"

"Yeah, some things were delayed, so I hurried to go." Gu Yuan shivered from the cold wind: "I'm so cold to death, what's the situation with you two, are you running outside in the cold?"

Wei Ling smiled immediately: "We also want to go up the mountain, and we are worried."

Xia Zhou disagreed, and whispered, "I don't want to."

Gu Yuan sneezed again, rubbing his nose: "Why don't you tell me in the carriage? This bad weather, I don't want to get a cold again."

So, at Gu Yuan's sincere invitation, Wei Ling and Xia Zhou got into the carriage.

This carriage looked like it was randomly ordered from the city. It had no luxurious decorations or comfortable cushions. A small tea table and a heater were placed in the narrow space, making the interior full of warmth.

"This carriage is hard, aren't you afraid of back pain after sitting for a long time?" Xia Zhou patted the cold wooden seat under his buttocks, feeling uncomfortable, and then looked at Wei Ling's thighs, he suddenly wanted to turn into a cat and go to Wei Ling. Ling curled up comfortably in his arms.

"I was assassinated last time. Thanks to Xiaoling's rescue, I narrowly escaped death! Where do you think I have the courage to continue to publicize, renting this broken carriage is not to deceive people's eyes and ears." Gu Yuan rubbed her waist: "Tell me the truth , After sitting in the carriage for so long, not to mention my backache, my body aches, I have a headache, and even my heart aches."

"Then you are in pain first." Xia Zhou yawned, slowly scattered the smoke and dust, and slowly transformed back into a little black cat in front of Gu Yuan and Wei Ling.

Seeing him turn into a cat, Wei Ling understood his intentions.Sure enough, the little black cat pretended to be inadvertent, and slowly rubbed against Wei Ling's body, stretching its paws and wagging its tail. He closed his eyes, tilted his head, and lay comfortably in Wei Ling's arms.

"Xiao Ling, you are wandering here, don't you want to go up the mountain?" Gu Yuan gave up communicating with the cat and turned the topic to Wei Ling.

"Yeah." Wei Ling said: "My lord, Bai Lie has been injured for so long, do you know how he is doing now?"

Gu Yuan concentrated her attention: "His right hand has not healed, so he can only do some light work." He put his fingers on the tea table and knocked a few times, and said: "Dabai's medicine was prepared by the Imperial Medical Office, and it hasn't recovered in a few days. , but I didn’t hear any rumors about intractable diseases, maybe it was caused by evil spirits, the Imperial Medical Office can’t do anything about it, but I’m not willing to hand it over to the Imperial Academy to save my face.”

"Bai Lie was injured by Chaos in the Demon Realm, if this matter is really related to the evil..." Wei Ling's uneasiness was gradually fulfilled: "That is a major event involving the four fierce beasts Chaos."

Gu Yuan swallowed her saliva, he knew how ferocious the four fierce beasts were, of course—the cat that was tossing and turning comfortably in Wei Ling's arms now doesn't count.Wei Ling spoke so seriously that Gu Yuan also stuttered, rubbed his temples, and put on a serious attitude again: "That's no good, no, it's terrible, or... Xiao Ling, since you're here, Just follow me up the mountain, dress up as my entourage, and I will try to bring you up."

Xia Zhou's ears twitched, and he raised his head: "The emperor and empress are all on the mountain at the moment, if chaos really comes to the world, it's better to wipe out the scourge of this world one by one..."

Gu Yuan: "Huh?!"

Xia Zhou was patted by Wei Ling, and continued to talk without changing his expression, and then he changed his mouth naturally: "But the barrier on the mountain is very powerful, even if it is chaos, it may not be able to do it. If you really want to go up, I will treat it like a cat." Follow along, Ah Ling, hold me, don't put it on the ground, don't lose me."

Wei Ling supported Xia Zhou and hugged her in her arms: "Are you getting fat, Xia Maomao?"

"?" Xia Zhou lazily narrowed his cat's eyes, swung his tail, and pressed Wei Ling even tighter.

"You wait at the foot of the mountain." Wei Ling said: "It's getting heavier, it's really troublesome to hold it."

Xia Zhou blinked, with a dissatisfied expression on his face. Just as he was about to refute, Gu Yuan suddenly grabbed the cat's body. There was a whirl of confusion, and Xia Zhou didn't know what happened. He meowed for a long time, and was finally caught by Bu The bag was tied tightly, and Gu Yuan handed the bundled cat to Wei Ling with both hands, and took the cloth bag away, stuffing even the cat's face into it: "Xiao Ling, if you carry it, treat it as a bag to keep out the cold." clothes."

Wei Ling took the cloth bag and carried it on his shoulders, which really saved a lot of effort.

"Hey, Gu Yuan, remember it for me."

Xia Zhou sticks out his head from inside, but Wei Ling covers it back.

"Leave the matter of going up the mountain to the prince." Wei Ling rubbed the cat's head which was moving around through the cloth.

Gu Yuan patted her chest: "Put [-] hearts, just leave it to me."
