At night, Xiu'er sat in front of the candlelight, holding an ancient book and reading it carefully

She didn't know much about literacy since she was a child. Even though she secretly practiced calligraphy during her three years in Zhu's family, she still couldn't understand some rare words. She wrote them down in notes and planned to ask Zhuang Yuchen about them together.

In the days after returning, Zhuang Yuchen seemed to be very busy, and the dragon often disappeared without a trace. Yang Qiyu was quick to talk, saying that the fifth senior brother was busy practicing Taoism and only thinking about dealing with the female demon.

Xiu'er didn't say much, and smiled at Zhuang Yuchen's character. She had guessed to some extent that he gave each other a year, and he planned to retire from the Taoist sect in the future. If the young man doesn't work hard, the boss will be sad. He

This is to prevent problems before they happen

Late at night, Xiu'er read through the ancient books compiled by Zheng Huoying. Zhuang Yuchen saw the light in her room, knocked on the door and walked in, "You're still up so late?"

"Waiting for you." Xiu'er stood up and brought him a plate of pastries and made a pot of hot tea. "They almost ate all the pastries I made in the morning, so I secretly left a plate for you."

Zhuang Yuchen sat down at the table, "Let me tell you what it is first. I never accept bribes beyond my ability."

"Haha" Xiu'er giggled, "Look at what you said."

"Your smile tells me that you have dug a hole and are just waiting for me to jump in." As he gradually got to know Xiu'er, Zhuang Yuchen liked to make some jokes, but they were mostly cold jokes.

"It's a very simple thing. You can explain it to me while you eat." Xiu'er handed the book over and sat next to him. "I don't know some words. Can you explain to me what they mean?"

Zhuang Yuchen took the book and looked through it, and couldn't help but wonder: "As far as I know, you have never been to a private school since you were a child. How did you become literate?"

"My mother taught me some, and I have been learning in the past few years, but there are still many words I am not familiar with."

Zhuang Yuchen was a little surprised by her eagerness to learn. When he was flipping through the book and explaining the words she marked one by one to Xiu'er, Zhuang Yuchen read the book roughly, thinking that the master was determined to deal with the female tyrant.

, even working tirelessly to collect and compile thousands of various legends and materials about female slaves, which is really a painstaking effort.

"After reading this book, what do you think of female slaves?"

Xiu'er frowned and realized after a while, "I think the female demon appears in this world not to destroy human beings, but to have other things, but maybe I'm just thinking wildly."

"If you have your own ideas, you might as well speak up."

"It is recorded in this book that the female demon has appeared three times since she became a fallen angel and was knocked down from the underworld by the gods. Among them, there is no record of the first appearance. There is no way to know whether the second appearance was in the fourth thousand years.

Years ago, there were Tianshi Daosheng and others at that time, the most famous of whom was Maoshan Taoist headed by Zhang Tianshi. It is said that zombies were prevalent at that time and the people suffered greatly. Zhang Tianshi led various factions to capture zombies everywhere, so the female demon appeared and fought to the death with the Taoist priests.

Many Taoist sects of Tianshi Tao were destroyed as a result, and even Zhang Tianshi of the Mao sect was greatly damaged by this, and finally ascended to heaven. Many biographies say that the female demon appeared in the world to save the descendants of zombies before becoming an enemy of the Taoist priests, but I

I think she came to this world because of Zhang Tianshi’s battle in which the female demon almost massacred all the Taoist priests. Several Taoist priests were on par with Zhang Tianshi in strength. Moreover, both Zhang Tianshi and the female demon were seriously injured at the time, but the female demon was still alive.

Being able to kill all the other Taoist priests shows that if she had the intention to kill Zhang Tiandao at that time, it would not be difficult, but..."

Xiu'er glanced at Zhuang Yuchen. Zhang Tianshi was the founder of the Maoshan sect, and he was a Taoist monk. He had a pure heart and had no love between men and women. He could not tolerate the slightest slander from others. She did not dare to mention it to other people in the Maoshan sect, otherwise it would

They were drowned by Zhang Tianshi's disciples or were dragged out and beaten to death with sticks.

Sure enough, as soon as she said her words, Zhuang Yuchen looked serious and whispered: "Just think about this matter in your heart. Regardless of whether it is true or not, you can't tell anyone."

As a god, no one can be disrespectful at all.

"I know," Xiu'er sighed quietly, "I just have suspicions, so I only dare to tell you."

"Any other insights?"

"I'm thinking, why did the female demon appear in the world for the third time and transform into the princess of the Eagle Kingdom - Mei Ji? If she really wanted to destroy the world, why did she only destroy the Eagle Kingdom and the Liuli Kingdom, and after Chu Xuyu's death?

"

"Do you think the female slave likes Chu Xuyu?"

"I don't know either." It is said that Meiji was Chu Xuyu's childhood sweetheart, but later Chu Xuyu fell in love with Princess Liuli at first sight and insisted on marrying Princess Liuli regardless of the courtiers. Meiji even threatened to commit suicide, but she ended up

No matter whether she is an ancient fallen angel, she is still a woman. She is willing to spend decades with a man. Apart from loving that man, Xiu'er can't think of any other reason.

If the female demon appeared for the second time because of Zhang Tianshi, and the third time for Chu Xuyu, then the fourth time...

Xiu'er's hands were shaking with fear, it was... third brother!

"Do you think the female demon appears this time for your third brother?"

Xiu'er frowned in pain, "I don't know" if it was true, would she kill her third brother out of love and hatred like the previous two times?

"No matter who she is for, in short, the female demon has appeared in the world - the world is in chaos, we can't let it go." Zhuang Yuchen got back to the topic, "I heard from the master that you agreed to help us control the drought demon."

"I don't know how to control him." Xiu'er shook his head, "But I will tell him the truth. I believe he will agree to help you."

"The Drought Demon is the business of the Prince of the Eagle Kingdom, is it true?"

Xiu'er nodded, "When we opened the ancient tomb, we saw a female corpse wearing a queen's palace attire with pearls in her mouth. She should be Princess Liuli who was poisoned by Meiji. At that time, Asha was only two or three years old. She was a corpse giving birth to a child, so

He should be the prince of the Eagle Kingdom."

"It's getting late. You have a good rest tonight. I will take you to Huayang Cave to see him tomorrow."

"Really?" Xiu'er said happily

"Don't be too happy too early. The master does not agree to release him. Unless you are absolutely sure that you can convince him to deal with the female demon, once he escapes and joins forces with the female demon, the world will be in catastrophe."

"I understand." Anyway, she could finally meet him, and she would make other plans later.

"How do you usually communicate with Hanbao?"

"He can occasionally understand some simple human languages. Sometimes I will compare movements with him. Anyway, it's something that couldn't be simpler."

Zhuang Yuchen's face was full of black lines, "..." Isn't this a chicken-and-duck talk? How can she make Han Ba ​​understand that the female Ba has a hatred of country and family with him, and he can't take revenge with just one action? What is the best way?

Can we only join forces with humans to fight against the enemy?

"However, he understands the underworld language." Xiu'er lowered her head and whispered: "But I...understand six underworld languages."

"He understands Hades?" Zhuang Yuchen's eyes lit up. Hades is the language of the dead. Zombies have always been driven by magic. Only demons with profound magic power and thousands of years of cultivation can understand Hades after a long time. Unexpectedly, he

Self-taught without a teacher

Xiu'er nodded, "Yeah" not only he understands, but also the two-headed zombie.

"We are pressed for time. If you want to communicate with Hanbao unimpededly using human language, I'm afraid it will take a long time. The only way now is to learn Mingyu and try to communicate with him in the shortest possible time."

"But I don't know how." Xiu'er was a little anxious. Last time, Zhu Qiqi got an ancient book about Mingyu from somewhere, but Zongzi scared her and carried her away. She didn't take the book out at all. It's really annoying to think about it.

"Don't worry, you don't have to, I can!"

Taoist priests not only deal with demons and ghosts, but also often deliver corpses to people, open altars to practice rituals, invite ghosts from the underworld to the upper world, etc. Therefore, Mingyu is one of the compulsory courses for all Taoist priests and is used for eating. If any Taoist priest does not understand Mingyu,

I have no shame in going out to hang out.

"Really" Xiu'er's eyes lit up, "That's great"

"Starting from tomorrow, you learn from me first. I will teach you the dark language you need to use when talking to the Drought Demon. It won't be too late to learn the rest later."

"Okay!" Xiu'er was instantly full of fighting spirit. As long as he could communicate with Zongzi normally and get him to abandon the dark side and surrender to the light, he would be free again. After the female slayer is eliminated, I believe the Taoist priests will no longer embarrass him.

Pretending to be happy, Xiu'er stayed up all night and got up at dawn the next morning. She specially made colorful glutinous rice dumplings. She didn't eat the dumplings at Ruyizhai last time, so this time she compensated him. Of course, she also gave them to Zhuang Yuchen and

The other Taoist priests made a copy to save them from muttering about themselves

When Zhuang Yuchen saw her bringing glutinous rice dumplings to feed the zombies, he couldn't help but have black lines on his face. What he said last night seemed to be in vain. Even if Drought Demon wanted to eat it, he had no chance to eat it now.

Xiu'er followed his footsteps all the way to the Huayang Cave in the back mountain. The terrain of Huayang Cave is steep. It stands on the top of another mountain. There is an iron cable suspension bridge in the cliff. The wooden boards creaked and the whole person followed the suspension bridge.

It started shaking, and Xiu'er turned pale with fright. She clung to the chain and refused to let go.

After finally crossing the bridge, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground. She was so frightened that she could only spit out bile. Zhuang Yuchen shook his head. He was not even afraid of zombies, but he was afraid of a bridge.

Xiu'er reluctantly climbed up and stumbled into the cave. The cave was dark. Zhuang Yuchen lit a fire and led her forward. The cave was dark and cold, with stalactites standing there, as scary as ghosts. Water droplets dripped from the rocks, and there was an echo.

After walking for about half an hour, Xiu'er finally reached the end and stood blankly in front of a cage made of thousand-year-old peach wood. The front of the prison was covered with bloody talismans.
