Chapter 1361 The natural disaster eclipse sun and the demons
"I'm sorry! Your Excellency Xie Peng." Ding Zhong lowered his head in shame.
Then he told the story he had made up. He didn't dare to talk about Zhang Xiulan's demonization. He could only talk about his injuries as quickly as possible, otherwise it would not be clear in the face of the forbidden law.
Ding Kui didn't expect that Ding Zhong would lie to him, so he didn't pursue the details of the fight. "Where is Mr. He's body? Let me take a look."
Ding Zhong took Xie Peng into the inner room and saw a coffin placed in the center of the room, which showed their respect for He Laizi.
Ding Kui hooked his fingers, and the coffin lid automatically floated into the air, revealing the frozen corpse inside.
"Hehe, so cruel!" He looked at it with red eyes, "Although I don't have much interaction with Mr. He, I know that he is extremely loyal to the Ding family and is a man of rules and principles. Unexpectedly, he suffered this in his later years.
Poisonous hand!"
"It's all my fault. Uncle He fought desperately with the enemy to cover the little one's escape. I was derelict in not preparing more manpower!" Ding Zhong did not evade responsibility.
"If you fail in your duties, someone will die! Is this lesson profound enough?" Xie Peng scolded mercilessly.
Poof, Ding Zhong knelt in front of the coffin and said, "I am willing to trade my own life for Uncle He's. Is there anything Master Xie can do?"
Xie Peng said angrily: "Do you think I am the God of Dharma? Even if I am the God of Dharma, I can't help it! Look at how cowardly you are. You are not afraid of death, but are you afraid of facing failure? Are you worthy of the teacher's teachings and Ding Kui's care for you?
?
Originally Ding Kui wanted you to go to Qi State, but I don't think so. You go back to the old housekeeper to collect the punishment first, and then ask Mr. Qian to find out who is responsible for this matter in Lu State. If you find out, let me know. I'll do it.
deal with."
He pressed down with his palm and clicked, the coffin was closed, then a white light flashed and disappeared without a trace.
"Mr. He's body has been handed over to me. You can take my jade token with the Mountain Demon Branch tomorrow morning, and someone will take you through the portal back to Nanma Prefecture." He threw a jade token to Ding Zhong.
Ding Kui used Xie Peng's identity to properly dispose of He Laizi's body. Putting it into a space ring was the best way.
"Thank you so much, Master!" Ding Zhong forced Zhang Xiulan to kowtow to Xie Peng, and Xie Peng accepted it calmly.
Xie Peng stayed that night and asked to check Ding Zhong's body to see if he had any hidden injuries or diseases. Ding Zhong accepted the examination bravely.
"It's strange. Your injuries are recovering well. Could it be the effect of murderous intent?" Xie Peng was very surprised after checking.
"Yes, yes! I feel like the murderous aura has stayed in the wound for a long time, maybe it is possible." Ding Zhong quickly followed Xie Peng's words.
"Well, it's not a bad thing anyway. Do those liaison officers in front of you have any unfulfilled wishes? Tell them all and let me hear them." Ding Kui felt sorry for his subordinates.
"Uncle He and I helped them complete it, and they left with no regrets."
Ding Zhong was not lying when he said this. Jin Si did not die in their hands, so he died in the line of duty.
"Okay! This matter is over. If Mr. Qian is dissatisfied, just tell him that it was me who said it. I don't want anyone else to be involved." Ding Kui felt that Xie Peng's identity was very useful.
Ding Zhong didn't dare not agree. Xie Peng's status in the Ding family was aloof. He had never heard that Ding Kui had any objections to Xie Peng. Ding Kui would do whatever Xie Peng said and obey everything he said.
Xie Peng left without saying goodbye early the next morning. Ding Zhong and Zhang Xiulan changed their disguises according to his instructions and left the secret contact point when the Mountain Demon branch opened.
At noon, Kang Sheng followed the message on the jade sign and went to the best restaurant in Hanyuan City and entered the most luxurious private room. "You really don't save face for me," he said to the only person in the private room.
"Hahaha, you helped me, so you should be my host. How about your invitation next time?" That person was naturally Xie Peng.
"As promised, you have to give me a chance!" Kang Sheng reached out and gave Xie Peng a high-five.
"Where are Jin Pingyang, Fangchi and the others?" Xie Peng thought of the luxurious adventure group back then.
Kang Sheng's eyes darkened and he said: "They were recruited into the army and are now in King Zhuzhou. I don't know which legion they have joined."
"What a good man!" Xie Peng couldn't comment more.
To put it bluntly, civil war is definitely not a good thing. All the people who died were our own people. I can only say that those who responded to the imperial call were more positive.
"The last time we met we were preparing to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. This time it turned out to be a civil strife. Why is our country so troubled? Your situation in Nanzhao Prefecture is even worse. In the past, friendly countries also came to take advantage of us."
The topic naturally turned to state affairs.
"A country without a heroic leader will be easily coveted by others. If the Bear King reincarnates, he will probably be stunned by his descendants." Xie Peng's words were very bold.
"The late king Shaodian Dan is better. If he hadn't been assassinated and had continued to work hard for a few years, he might have become a hero. What a pity, what a pity!" Kang Sheng didn't mind.
They are not too shy about talking about the king, and magicians cannot participate in the battle for the throne, but there is no problem in discussing it.
"My relatives are causing trouble because they don't think about the kingdom. Unlike the Prince Consort who comes from the Protector's family and has always upheld the ancestral motto of protecting the country, all my relatives are like him and have no need to worry about the unrest in the kingdom." Xie Peng took the opportunity to brag.
"Although your position is a bit biased, I agree with this point of view. I don't look at a person's promises, only what he does. Everyone sees what Prince Consort Ding does. How has it ever failed to enhance the prestige of our country? It's a pity that the imperial court
You must have a falling out with him.
To be honest, natural disasters and eclipses are too mysterious, and some people who study dark magic say that they are related to the sacrifices of the demons." Kang Sheng had a unique point of view.
"What? Natural disasters and solar eclipses are related to demon sacrifices!" Xie Peng heard this for the first time, "Combined with Wang Shaodianfeng being cursed, it really looks like this!" He immediately thought of it.
"But don't tell others that I said it. People who study dark magic are secretive after all and don't want to be known."
Dark magic is almost the exclusive magic of the demons, but in the opinion of some magicians, it is a branch of the magic world and does not distinguish between races. Just like day and night, it is an objective phenomenon that humans can also study.
It's just that in history, some people who studied dark magic were turned into demons. Later, in order to prevent the recurrence of demonization incidents, the Human League was forced to issue an order prohibiting the study of dark magic.
Xie Peng didn't understand the principles of dark magic, but this information was very useful to him and Shaodianluan. The people the demons were trying to deal with should not be persecuted.
"Don't worry, I know how to measure and will let Ding Kui claim that the news comes from the traitor king." Xie Peng winked at Kang Sheng.
Kang Sheng advised: "I don't want the kingdom to continue to be in chaos. It's best for you to compromise with the court. We are all one family. What can't be discussed? Do we have to go to war?"
"Can the people in Zhenjing City still be called the imperial court? It's not that I'm rebellious, and it's not that it doesn't matter because I'm from overseas. We can see where the people live better. If the people are rich, the country will be strong!" Xie Peng vigorously promoted it!
own point of view.
"Hahaha, it's over, it's over, these things have nothing to do with us magicians, just a casual chat." Kang Sheng realized that this topic could not be continued.
"Haha, come on, come on, let's eat." Ding Kui helped Kang Sheng pick up the food.
"By the way! I suddenly remembered something. Last year, a friend told me that there are still traces of python-tailed jaguars near Liuhui Gorge. They should be the two cubs you left behind back then."
"Really?" Xie Peng suddenly became interested, "So I would like to see them. My efforts are not in vain."
"You should go take a look." Kang Sheng was very supportive, "They understand human nature and will definitely remember you."
Intermediate monsters have a certain IQ and their memory is no worse than that of ordinary people. Those two little python-tailed swift leopards should never forget their saviors.
"Do you want to take a trip to Liuhui Gorge with me?" Xie Peng invited.
"Forget it, I'd better not go, they will be afraid of me," Kang Sheng killed the parents of the little python-tailed jaguar, not wanting to face them.
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow, no, I'll go right after dinner. Anyway, the things here are over, so I'll go early and come back early."
Ding Kui thought that since he was here, he would drop by.
After dinner, he said goodbye to Kang Sheng, and actually turned around and flew north to visit Liuhui Gorge in the Hengduan Mountains.
In the past, it would have taken him half a month to fly from Hanyuan City to Liuhui Gorge, but now it would only take three or four days if he tried his best to use the teleportation technique. Normally, he would not waste so much magic power on the journey. This time, because he did not follow Ao Yu,
To say hello, he had to rush back as soon as possible, so he had to rush to Liuhui Gorge at full speed.
Before leaving, Kang Sheng gave him a map, marking the location of Liuhui Gorge in detail, which saved him a lot of time in finding the way.
At noon on the fourth day, he teleported to the vicinity of Liuchai Gorge, first found a place to rest, took out the magic crystal to replenish his magic power, and then ate some dry food.
Although he had saved the life of a small python-tailed swift jaguar, there was no guarantee that an accident would not occur, and there were also star-catching falcons there, so it was necessary to restore his own condition.
There was no need for a map when he came to Liuchai Gorge. He still had fresh memories of this place. He almost fed the monster here. If he hadn't met Ao Yu, he would have turned into the monster's excrement.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, if you don't have the strength, you really have to be careful when going out. Now that I'm revisiting the old place, I'm like the master here. I can control everything with a flip of my hand." Ding Kui spread out his mental power as much as possible, covering an area of nearly a kilometer.
Panoramic view of the area.
"Hululu, hululu." As soon as he arrived near the python-tailed jaguar's lair, he heard a familiar cry.
Two black figures flashed in the jungle, and soon ran to his feet.
"Hahaha, it's really you two little guys!" Ding Kui was very happy to see them.
In fact, these two black panthers are quite big, with a body length of two meters, and their tails are almost as long as their bodies.
"Hululu, hululu." They jumped and shouted at Ding Kui in the sky, actually showing joy.
Ding Kui flew to the ground, and they rushed up quickly, lowering their heads and pushing against Ding Kui's legs. The two python tails were spread flat on the ground.
Ding Kui touched their heads and said: "Hello everyone! I'm glad to see that you are still alive and did not waste my beef jerky. Have you found a girlfriend?" He actually cared about their life-long affairs like an elder.
