When the devil

Xia Zhou's energy is astonishingly high, and Wei Ling can't play with him, but fortunately, Xia Zhou's human nature, which is still useful, can still play a role at critical moments, no matter how indulgent |

Wei Ling was exhausted by him, leaning against his arms to rest, vaguely heard the little apprentice's voice coming from a distance, as if asking about his whereabouts, and was about to get up, but Xia Zhou pulled him back again.

"Don't you care about me, do you still want to see the wound?" Xia Zhou always liked to stick close to him and talk in a soft voice at all times.

Wei Ling pulled his hand away and straightened the messy collar: "I don't want to see it."

He had experienced Xia Zhou's physical condition firsthand, regardless of his injuries, at least escaping from the enemy should not be a problem.

Xia Zhou squinted his eyes half-closed, and held him tight: "To be honest, you named me Xia Zhou back then, really because of that poor duck?"

Wei Ling looked at him inexplicably: "Why do you still remember this?"

Cheng Yingjie once mentioned that Wei Ling had given the name Xia Zhou to the ducks he raised, but now Xia Zhou dug it up and said it again, how awkward he thought.

Xia Zhou said: "Of course I remember. When you did it, you cried and called this name. What if you were thinking about that duck?"

Wei Ling opened her eyes wide: "You—"

His fair face turned red in an instant, and he didn't know if it was from anger or because of Xia Zhou's coquettish talk. After holding back for a long time, he really couldn't find the right words to describe Xia Zhou, a bastard, and finally pushed him away. Open, pull away and leave.

"A Ling." Xia Zhou brazenly grabbed the corner of his robe: "Stay with me a little longer."

Wei Ling pulled back the corner of her clothes, turned around and left without mercy.

When he arrived in front of Mochi, all his gaffes had dissipated. When he came out, he tied up his hair casually, and he was able to be a gentleman again in front of people.

There were two more people in the campfire——Cheng Yingjie and Xue Qingqing.

Wei Ling didn't show surprise on her face, she found a corner away from the campfire and sat down like Shen Feihuan did.

"Master, I met my uncle and wife outside... I took them in to escape." Mochi obediently ran to Wei Ling's side.

Wei Ling was weak, and said softly, "Yes."

Mo Chi felt that Wei Ling's answer was too simple, and he reflected on whether he had done something wrong, but after much deliberation, he still couldn't help explaining: "Master, I heard that the uncle said that the little ghost has chased him nearby..."

In this case, even if he knew that the atmosphere was strange, he couldn't ignore it.

Wei Ling finally understood what the little apprentice was struggling with. He smiled casually, stroked Mochi's hair and said, "It's always good to have more people. Your barrier can at most cover our breath. Entering this cave, we can only face it."

Cheng Yingjie looked at the two of them and said, "That cockroach must be killed."

As soon as he finished saying this, Xue Qingqing punched him: "Still killing him, didn't you see your junior brother protecting him?"

Shen Feihuan, who was pretending to be asleep next to him, woke up with a smile at his words: "Uncle, there is Taotie on the other side, do you really think that thing can be defeated by the few of us? If you kill Zhuwu right now, it will also be regarded as killing your junior brother." Offended completely...their relationship is not so good." After finishing speaking, he blinked at Wei Ling: "Xianzun, am I right?"

Wei Ling naturally ignored him.

Cheng Yingjie didn't understand, and thought for a long time in a daze, but Xue Qingqing understood, coughed dryly, and changed the subject: "Isn't Taotie dead?"

Shen Feihuan thought that she had done a great deed - helping the fool sort out the stakes.But now he was stared at with displeasure for no reason, and he felt funny in his heart, a fool is really a fool, there is no cure.

Wei Ling picked Xue Qingqing's words to answer: "If it's a person, it should be dead, if it's a demon... I'm afraid the severed head injury won't be fatal."

Cheng Yingjie became even more confused, and looked at Xue Qingqing in bewilderment, but Xue Qingqing also looked dazed, and the two of them stared at each other for a long time, unable to come up with any results.

Wei Ling slowly explained: "Gaotie was refined into a demon pill, and Yu Wanfeng took him. Usually, people will have three results after taking a demon pill. One is that the dharma veins successfully control the demon pill, and the other is that they cannot bear the demon power and die suddenly." And died. As for the third... It is an extremely rare possibility, the spirituality of the monster has not dissipated after being refined into the demon pill, but the user is swallowed by the demon pill instead, allowing the monster to occupy the body..."

Shen Feihuan said: "He has acted wildly in front of everyone, there is no need to be entangled, the answer is clearly only the third option."

Mochi was not at ease in his heart, he was not there when Taotie appeared, it was hard to imagine with his head alone.Shen Feihuan's words were ambiguous, but Wei Ling didn't refute, and Cheng Yingjie and his wife were also silent.

"Glutton... is one of the four fierce beasts, how could it have anything to do with the principal of the Taili Academy..." The little apprentice was worried, his voice was spinning in his throat: "Sure, that's true...then, we..."

Cheng Yingjie took a deep breath, and his expression became solemn: "The principal was not such a person in the first place."

Wei Ling shifted his eyes to him, but did not speak, Cheng Yingjie could only sigh, and said: "I have been in the Taili Court all these years...the dean has treated me well. You also know that I was at a loss because of the failure of the immortal law, thinking that I had nowhere to go, but I chose the fork in the demon pill, but at that time my spirit core was just damaged, my body was weak, and I almost went mad because of the demon pill... It was the dean who calmed down the dharma veins for me and let the demon pill melt into my body. He said, it’s okay to abolish the immortal law, and it’s okay to eat the demon pill, as long as my heart is upright and righteous, the path I’m going on will definitely not be crooked.”

"Uncle——you're walking on a crooked path." Shen Feihuan couldn't bear it any longer, and sat up again and interjected: "Now you know, he's a glutton! If you give you some favors, you'll be brilliant? Cooperate with that idiot next to him You two make a pair, Liulishan is stupid!" After speaking, he glanced at Wei Ling again, and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Why are there so many idiots in Liulishan?"

Mochi: "Are you in debt?"

Shen Feihuan pursed her lips and smiled, hooking her fingers at him: "Come on."

Cheng Yingjie was interrupted by Shen Feihuan, and he didn't know how to continue the topic for a while. Today, Yu Wanfeng wanted to kill Xue Qingqing in front of him. This move alone was enough to break all his trust in Yu Wanfeng.

It's just... the bloody reality is before his eyes, there is one of the four fierce beasts in the imperial court, the Taotie, the more he thinks about it, the more confused he becomes, many things are strung together, which makes him inexplicably agitated.

"Brother, there is something I am very concerned about." Wei Ling called out to him, and after seeing his shoulders trembled, he slowly said: "Is there any relationship between Gu Xuancheng and the people from Dongjing in these years?"

Cheng Yingjie froze for a moment, as if hastily avoiding Wei Ling's sight: "I don't know either."

Xue Qingqing shook her head straight, and said: "You are usually careless, but you hold your words in your stomach at critical times. Look at you, what you look like, I will tell you if you don't tell me." Sit down slowly at a distance.

"Xuancheng is fine." Cheng Yingjie also got up, and hurriedly walked to sit down opposite Wei Ling: "He must have heard bad news about coming to Jinchuan, Ah Ling, you know that Xuancheng has been very worried about your comfort .”

He is tall and broad, lying like a wall in front of Wei Ling, blocking the faint firelight.

"No." Unexpectedly, Mochi suddenly said in a calm voice: "Junior brother was already here before we came to Jinchuan."

Cheng Yingjie was stunned.

Mo Chi showed a rare calmness, he said: "Yesterday, Chen Hao and I followed my sister-in-law."

Now it was Xue Qingqing's turn to be stunned.

Wei Ling recalled what Mochi said today, but she didn't expect that there would be a follow-up.With his apprentice's temperament, he would always tell him everything in detail, so that the apprentice could stop talking, it must have been deliberately emphasized by Murong Chenhao.

"I saw my sister-in-law enter a room and then disappeared. The room was surrounded by a magic barrier. We waited outside the room for a long time and met Yuan Chun...but she didn't do anything and sent my sister-in-law away At that time, Chen Hao said...the people who are with Yuan Chun are our enemies."

Mochi continued to speak.

Talking about what Murong Chenhao did after Yuan Chun returned to the inn.

"Later... Chen Hao pretended to be his sister-in-law and went to inquire, only to find that the inn was full of Dongjing people. The information he inquired said that they had stayed here for three months. Time... I don't know why, but Chen Hao insisted that the person living in the inn is the younger brother, he said that the younger brother came to Jinchuan earlier than us, and even knew our actions like the palm of his hand."

Mochi was just repeating what Murong Chenhao said, and he didn't quite understand what was hidden during this period.

After a long pause, he looked at Xue Qingqing: "Chen Hao also said, if you are not sure, let me see the reaction of my uncle and wife. If...they are not in a hurry to deny it, then, then ten There are eighty-nine..."

In fact, Mochi was also very puzzled, why Murong Chenhao told him to keep quiet at first, and then asked him to test the reactions of Cheng Yingjie and Xue Qingqing.

Xue Qingqing frowned, and after a while said: "Yes, I did go to see His Royal Highness that day."

When Cheng Yingjie heard it for the first time, his face was full of shock: "Xuancheng really came to Jinchuan early...!"

Xue Qingqing said: "Well... he has something to do and wants to talk to A Ling in person."

This was the first time she called Wei Ling "A Ling". It happened that Wei Ling looked over and the two met, but they were both testing each other's intentions.

Cheng Yingjie said: "How long... has he been in Jinchuan?"

Xue Qingqing said: "I don't know the details. On the second day after you left Jinchuan because of the chaos in Liulicheng, he sent someone to bring a message saying that the fire in Liulicheng would burn Jinchuan. Let me go back to Yuli first." They all avoid the limelight... I only found out at that time..."

Mo Chi was surprised: "Junior brother actually expected it so early...?"

Shen Feihuan laughed: "This is not expected, of course I have to know better than anyone else what I want to do."

"Confused! Too confused...! He was ordered by His Majesty to confine himself to the Eastern Palace. Isn't that a violation of the imperial decree? I thought he came this time...just like during the war in the Eastern Territory. .”

In Cheng Yingjie's mind, the master-student relationship between Wei Ling and Gu Xuancheng is the emperor's best handle to restrain Wei Ling.Of course, this is just what he thinks in his heart, and no one or any facts can confirm his thoughts.But until now, he has been completely confused, his face is getting more and more ugly, and he even reluctantly thought of the last possibility: "...Could it be that this is also the queen's arrangement...?"

Mochi hurriedly asked: "Who is that queen? What is her purpose?"

Shen Feihuan said: "Bad people are all bad people."

Cheng Yingjie's heart was already in a state of confusion, but hearing Shen Feihuan's tone, he became even more angry: "Shut up, don't stir up flames by the side, be careful that I'm rude to you."

Shen Feihuan patted his chest, and said in shock: "Don't be fierce, I see that your thoughts are going around the city with marshmallows if you don't clean them up. I feel my conscience and say this, I have the clearest mind here. Believe it or not, you can listen to it." Let’s discuss it later, but whether to listen or not... When you can’t figure it out, talking less and listening more may not be a way.”

Cheng Yingjie paused, not knowing how to answer, Xue Qingqing sighed, as if all kinds of suffering were hidden in her heart.

Shen Feihuan doesn't think it's a big deal when watching the excitement. He is more interested in this topic than anyone else. Taking advantage of the gap when no one is talking, he said, "I think so, just think about it. If you can't figure out why, why don't you think about it, for example... Think about it?"

He was in high spirits, but it was a pity that no one paid any attention to him.

"Let's think about it first, what is the most valuable thing in Jinchuan City, Wei Xianzun, the fierce beast 梼杌." Shen Feihuan talked to himself, not caring whether others listened carefully: "Besides this, there is another thing. , I think everyone has forgotten."

"Cang Lin's scales." Unexpectedly, Wei Ling responded to Shen Feihuan's words.

"Yes!" Shen Feihuan's tone was filled with emotion: "Just now, the little fool said one important point, that is, the inn where our prince is staying is all people from the East, if His Royal Highness is related to people from the East, then we might as well recall Let’s take a look at what the people of the Eastern Realm did... Well, the Liuli Mountain was in a catastrophe, and Canglin was killed, and his scales were taken. After thinking that the scales were under the cover of the Guo family the whole time, and the Guo family belonged to the queen’s faction, it can be inferred that the prince and the queen are obviously on the same side. It's on the boat!"

Wei Ling said: "I heard what Yuan Chun said today, the scales of the Cang Lin in the Guo Mansion disappeared."

"She didn't lie to you, or she was testing your reaction." Shen Feihuan said: "The whereabouts of the Canglin scales are indeed unknown. As far as I know, after the commotion in the Guo residence a few days ago, the basement of the Guo family was moved. Kong, the Taili Academy also wanted to find that scale, but found nothing."

Cheng Yingjie also knew about Cang Lin's scales, and the turmoil of that day also started when he wanted to transport the scales away.

So he said: "How come?"

Shen Feihuan said: "Will the prince fisherman take advantage of it, or...disappear out of thin air?"

Cheng Yingjie said anxiously: "Jinchuan's business contacts have been banned for the past few days, and even a letter cannot be sent out... On the day Tailiyuan entered the city, Bai Lie personally led the [-] Snow Wolf Army just [-] miles away. Set up camp, they put their troops on hold, turned the city into a prison, and suppressed the soldiers of the Guo Mansion long ago...Who can snatch Cang Lin's scales under such a vast net? Even if they do, how can he break through Jinchuan?"

"The crown prince, the Guo family, and the Dongjing people are all from the Empress Faction, so there is another group of people in Jinchuan, which is the Taili Academy and the Snow Wolf Army stationed outside." Shen Feihuan rubbed his brows: "The Snow Wolf Army and the Taili Army The courtyard should cooperate with the outside, watching all the movements in Jinchuan City. It is easy to guess who is behind them, because the Snow Wolf Army is only assigned by the emperor. As for the Taili Court, they did look for Canglin's scales, and then they disappeared. They don't look too nervous, so I guess their target is not Canglin's scales, but they just happen to know that it is in Jinchuan, so let's take it by chance."

Mo Chi half understood, and asked, "What do they want to do?"

Shen Feihuan said: "As I said just now, this matter has to be looked at backwards, and the result first. The emperor's net is cast well, and all kinds of fish are caught in it. If the prince is really caught by the fox's tail..."

Xue Qingqing immediately interrupted Shen Feihuan: "It's nonsense." She said resolutely: "I don't know about Cang Lin's scales. In my opinion, His Royal Highness's goal is to kill Zhu Wu. He has repeatedly mentioned that today is Zhu Wu. The best chance to kill Zhu Wu, he and the Taili Academy have also reached a consensus on this point."

Shen Feihuan said in relief: "The prince really wanted to kill Wuwu, but it was more like his petty thinking, which went against the Queen's idea. Unfortunately, the jade bracelet only hurt Wuwu at best. It's so easy to kill a beast, Wei Xian It's not like Zun can't seal him now."

Wei Ling thought of something, and turned to Xue Qingqing: "The jade bracelet was snatched by Yuan Chun?"

Xue Qingqing nodded: "At the beginning, she dropped the bag...and transferred it to Yingjie. Later, it seemed that she was eager for success, and then took it from Yingjie."

Cheng Yingjie felt a chill down his spine when he heard that: "I was in prison that day, and it was Guo Xianhou who handed over the jade bracelet to me, and Yuan Chun should have given the jade bracelet to him, but based on your speculation just now, Yuan Chun is the emperor of the Taili Academy. The Taili Court obeys the emperor's order, and Guo Xianhou returns to the empress...Why did Yuan Chun hand over the jade bracelet to Guo Xianhou?"

"It's not easy. Both you and Guo Xianhou are the queen's abandoned sons. The queen thinks it's useless, but the people in the Taili Academy think that you can continue to use it."

Before I saw the person, I heard the voice first, this tugging and mocking voice, except for a certain monster, I couldn't think of anyone else.

Xia Zhou came out and changed his clothes in a good mood.He never concealed his words, his tone was arrogant, and he always laughed at people.

"The prince must have seen the purpose of the Tailiyuan, and sneaked into the chess game between the queen and the emperor. To understand it simply, the queen wants Canglin, the Tailiyuan wants to kill me, and the prince wants scales." The banner colluded with the Taili Academy, and wanted to kill two birds with one stone." His voice was steady and full of contempt, "...then the emperor sealed off the city, and waited until the people in the city were exhausted from fighting, and then came to catch the fisherman. profit."

In fact, Xia Zhou didn't listen to much of their conversation before, what he said now was all the clues that he and Gu Yuan worked out in private a few days ago.

Shen Feihuan applauded: "Shen has been taught."

Cheng Yingjie: "..."

When he saw Xia Zhou, he frowned, all the thoughts in his mind were turned into hostility, and he lost the desire to continue talking in an instant.

The opponent is a demon, an evil demon, and a ferocious beast.

But it was this demon who deserved to die, but he got so close to Wei Ling, and the current situation could not tolerate any further troubles. Cheng Yingjie sighed, then got up and went to the fire to keep warm, Xue Qingqing was also interested, and followed Cheng Yingjie, Only Mo Chi was still in a daze, not understanding why Cheng Yingjie and Xue Qingqing ran so fast.

Xia Zhou walked directly to Wei Ling, and before he got close, he saw Wei Ling staring at him thoughtfully, and he thought that this little fairy had started to pay attention to ghosts again.Sure enough, when he was by his side, Wei Ling stretched out his hand: "Is there any wine left, I want to drink."

"Little drunkard, you can't go back on your word. It's you who said you shouldn't be too indulgent tonight. Drinking now isn't considered indulgence?" Xia Zhou knelt down in front of Wei Ling, the light of the bonfire behind him cast his shadow It fell on Wei Ling.

Wei Ling looked at him coldly: "How can drinking be counted?"

"Okay, whatever you say makes sense." Xia Zhou helped him brush a lock of hair that fell to his shoulders behind his ears: "Let me Xiangxiang again, and I'll give you a drink."

Wei Ling's charming and beautiful eyes looked at him calmly, behind him was the light and shadow, and Xia Zhou's silhouette overlapped with his black pupils. Interrupt; "Uh, that...I..."

"Mochi, come here."

When Xue Qingqing spoke at this moment, it was undoubtedly a life-saving straw for Mochi.

"Mistress!"

Mochi escaped.

Xue Qingqing patted her side and told him to sit down: "You should call me Aunt Master."

Mochi is very obedient, and he can be called whatever he is asked: "Auntie!"

"The kid hasn't come yet, hurry up and rest." Xue Qingqing said to him gently: "Tonight will be very long..."

What she said was also what Wei Ling thought in his heart. The rain outside the cave was lingering, the chill was unrelenting, the early winter was here, the night was already longer than the day, they lost time, lost their direction, soaked in the endless darkness Waiting for the nightmare to come.

After that, Wei Ling fell asleep intermittently for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, he was resting his head on Xia Zhou's shoulder, with the sound of firewood crackling next to his ears.

He vaguely heard Mochi and Cheng Yingjie talking in a low voice, Mochi's voice sounded calm, unlike the worried tone of the previous days, and then he lost consciousness again, half asleep and half awake with his eyes closed.

In this cave, Wei Ling is the person with the highest cultivation level.

Therefore, when the little ghosts approached, he quickly woke up from his stupor, patted Xia Zhou who was playing with his hair beside him, and said: "The little ghosts are here, there are a lot of them, kill them out."

His voice was very soft, but made other people look over, Wei Ling said again: "You go in the opposite direction."

Cheng Yingjie didn't sleep all night, and after listening to Wei Ling's words, he was stunned for a long time before he said in a panic, "No, all the brats are staring at you, it's too dangerous."

Wei Ling said: "The target of the little devil is me, and the target of the Taili Academy is Xia Zhou. There is no need for others to force themselves into this dead end."

"Jinchuan City has been sealed, and there are dead ends everywhere, and no one can escape right now." Xue Qingqing's voice was still as steady as before: "The trapped beast is still fighting, concentration is better than dispersion."

Wei Ling is noncommittal to Xue Qingqing's proposal.

"Don't be so pessimistic." Shen Feihuan lowered his body and wrapped the rope on his boots: "There is a river in the east... just opposite this mountain, and it will lead to the east border of the city along the downstream. There are Snow Wolf troops stationed at the river mouth, but Encountering the enemy on the waterway is restricted by both sides, even if forced to break through, it will be much easier than on the main road.”

Cheng Yingjie asked doubtfully, "Forcibly breaking through the Snow Wolf Army? Are you crazy?"

Shen Feihuan said: "That's the closest Snow Wolf Army camp to the hunting ground. I guess they've already been ready to go. Since the Immortal Master and Pavilion Master Xia have become thorns in their eyes, it's better to make more noise and bring in the Snow Wolf Army so that we will have Opportunities come out." As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Chi glared at him, and Shen Feihuan was even more unreserved, and said straightforwardly: "Thinking clearly, it would be a waste of help for me to wait for ordinary people to go, and the most urgent thing to do is to take care of my own life. .”

"The river you said is on the opposite side of the mountain?" Cheng Yingjie looked into the depths of the cave: "I see that the cave is quite deep, can you break through the mountain wall and get out?"

Shen Feihuan was stunned: "Smash it? How?"

Cheng Yingjie patted the diamond hammer on his shoulder.

Xue Qingqing said: "What are you thinking about, you, no matter how powerful you are, you can't smash the mountain."

Cheng Yingjie scratched the back of his head: "I mean, there might be relatively thin walls deep in this hole..."

"I've never been inside, it's narrow and deep, it's scary." Shen Feihuan really didn't want to go inside, her face was full of disgust: "And who can tell if there is really a wall that can be smashed, if there is no one, This is asking for death."

Mo Chi strongly agreed: "You stay here to block the brat, let's go in and have a look."

Shen Feihuan blinked her eyes wide: "Brother Xiaohanxian is so kind. If you ask mortals to help you ward off ghosts, you won't be afraid of being laughed at if it spreads in the future?"

Mochi said: "Anyway, you won't die, let the little devil eat you for a night, it is much more effective than my master as bait."

The so-called children's words are not taboo, Mo Chi did not notice any inappropriate words when he spoke.

"Hey, it's scary." Shen Feihuan frowned slightly, and for the first time during the time we spent together, he smiled coldly, his golden eyes were backlit, and looked very gloomy: "I'm very timid, please forgive me stop."

In the past, Xia Zhou liked to flatten a mountain by saying what he said, but today he was very quiet and didn’t say anything. Wei Ling was a little strange, and reached out to touch his forehead. He didn’t move much, but Xia Zhou was a little startled , when the eyes meet, Xia Zhou passes by with a smile.

"Your monster power is messed up, and your internal injuries are at least [-]%." Wei Ling stretched out his palms, covering Xia Zhou's forehead: "How could you be injured so badly?"

Xia Zhou followed him to touch, his eyes were soft: "It's okay, even if there is only [-]% left, it is more than enough to deal with them."

"It's not serious to be hurt like this." Wei Ling patted his eyebrows.

Xia Zhou's long and narrow eyes suddenly closed, and when he opened them again, his face was full of enjoyment.

At this moment, there was a shrill howl from outside the cave, the sound came from far to near, and it made people feel chills down the spine.

"..." Wei Ling froze slightly, and looked towards the entrance of the cave in disbelief.

"Why are there so many?"

The enchantment at the entrance of the cave is set by the ink pool, once the little ghost approaches, he can detect it more clearly than anyone else.

Dozens, even hundreds of little ghosts are hovering at the entrance of the cave, ready to move.

Mochi said: "How is it possible, I clearly set up a barrier, the kid shouldn't be aware of it..."

Shen Feihuan's eyes changed suddenly, and he dragged Guo Jianchao up, who was lying on his back. Guo Jianchao was shaken by him, his head was tilted to the side, and he stared at him with his eyes open: "How could you not notice, they came out of here .”

Hearing these words, Wei Ling was stunned for a moment, and he turned his head away. There was a gloomy and cold atmosphere in the bottomless darkness, which reminded him of the scene at Zhenlu Temple.

Xue Qingqing swallowed her saliva, and said in a cold voice: "Could it be...the formation for summoning the little ghosts is in this cave?"
