Chapter 146

Gaffe. You have to be careful, that Xie Yuan's body has been occupied by another great demon. I was caught off guard and plotted by him. The demon soul was tainted and my mind was confused. I... forget it, maybe in your opinion, these are all excuses. All the mistakes are my fault! I shouldn't have treated you like that..."

The more he spoke, the more eager he became, and the regret in his tone was undisguised, revealing deep frustration and annoyance.

In the silence, Princess Yuhua finally couldn't help but said: "No, I don't blame you, it's all because of the insidious and cunning demon who used such despicable means to plot against you." She was angry for a while, and then said happily, " I knew you wouldn’t do this to me, A Mo, it wasn’t your truth! You were willing to die for me, how could you blame that fake Xie Yuan!”

Li Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

... Just appease Princess Yuhua. His current situation is not optimistic. When he is in trouble, it is best for this woman to stay calm and not hold him back.

In a few words, the previous incident passed like a breeze blowing on the face, and both of them tacitly agreed not to mention it again, as if nothing had happened, and they were still a couple of you and me. But only they themselves know whether it has left some traces in their hearts.

Princess Yuhua asked worriedly: "Amo, are you okay now? Are you seriously injured? What can I do to help you? And that Xie Yuan..."

While she was speaking, she faintly heard the voice of a chamberlain not far outside the palace - the emperor is coming down from the palace!

Princess Yuhua was immediately at a loss.

Li Mo didn't have time to say more, so he just pulled Princess Yuhua's consciousness deeper into her body: "Yue'er, don't talk for now. Leave everything to me."

As soon as the emperor stepped into the Mingyue Palace where Princess Yuhua lived, he saw Princess Yuhua, dressed in rich clothes and with a pale face, coming up to him and saluted him: "Father."

The emperor responded, motioned for everyone else to go down, and said doubtfully: "Yuhua, why are you here? Didn't things go well today?"

Logically speaking, it is normal for Princess Yuhua to be in his own palace, but the emperor has long known that Princess Yuhua should be waiting for him in the cold palace at this moment - the cold palace and the formations in the palace are all sent by the emperor It's arranged.

And the most important point is——

"Where's Xie Yuan? Have you got the immortal seed in him?"

The so-called immortal seed is the qualification to cultivate immortality. This was something made up by Princess Yuhua when she deceived the emperor with the theory of immortal fate. According to her, as long as she can extract Xie Yuan's immortal seed and hand it over to the emperor, the emperor will have the qualifications to cultivate immortality, and his fate as an immortal will surely come in the future.

But now, Princess Yuhua is not waiting in the cold palace as planned, and neither are Xie Yuan and Xian Zhong.

Facing the emperor's eager gaze, Princess Yuhua felt guilty. She originally intended to let Li Mo seize Xie Yuan's body, and then confess everything to the emperor. As a great demon, Li Mo has no shortage of skills and can also find heavenly materials and earthly treasures, all of which can be used to reward the emperor. As for the fairy species, it was all lies she made up!

However, it was not Princess Yuhua who controlled the body at this time, but Li Mo. Her face turned pale, her eyes were full of confusion, and she spoke in confusion and fear: "Father, the emperor , I don’t know what happened.”

Under the emperor's scrutinizing gaze, the girl bit her lip and said in a sleepy tone: "I, I will ask someone to bring Xie Yuan, and activate the formation according to the method taught in the ancient book. The formation suddenly emitted light, and the light was extremely dazzling. I didn't see anything..." Her voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke, as if she had experienced something incredible, "When I looked over again, Xie Yuan It’s gone and can’t be found again.”

The emperor frowned and glanced at her.

At this time, "Princess Yuhua" had already lowered her head, and couldn't help twisting the corner of her clothes with one hand - the emperor's eyes fell on her hand. This was what Princess Yuhua would reveal every time she tried to lie to cover up something. ‌ Small moves.

He remained calm when he saw the girl with her head lowered said in an uncertain voice: "This, maybe I made a mistake when I used this formation for the first time. It is also recorded in ancient books. There are some formations that can teleport people out. Maybe after two days, when the energy of the formation is exhausted, Xie Yuan will come back?" As she said this, she nodded, "...that must be the case, wait. It’ll be fine in a few days.”

The emperor's frown did not go away, he just repeated her words: "...how many more days to wait?"

"Princess Yuhua" loosened her twisted fingers and raised her head to look at the emperor: "It will definitely work if you wait a few more days." She skillfully stretched out her hand to hold the emperor's sleeves and said with confidence, "Father, you Don’t you believe me yet?”

The girl's cheeks were slightly bulging, with a hint of anger.

"You." The emperor's frown relaxed and he showed a gentle and doting smile, "Of course my father believes in you. Okay, then let's wait a few more days."

After sending the emperor away, "Princess Yuhua" relaxed. You must know that there are still traces of pollution spreading in Li Mo's demon. He has to devote part of his mind to fight against it all the time, and now he has to imitate it. Princess Yuhua made the emperor not suspicious, which was really a labor-intensive task.

...Fortunately, everything is over for now!

But another consciousness in the body watched from beginning to end as Li Mo pretended to be himself, deceived the emperor, and skillfully used his daughter's tone to act coquettishly to the emperor. It was so lifelike that he seemed to be another of his own Princess Yuhua, but After a long silence, he spoke: "Ah Mo..."

Li Mo suppressed his impatience and responded: "Huh?"

"Just now...why are you so skilled?"

Seeing Li Mo imitating herself perfectly, for some reason, Princess Yuhua felt a sense of panic and some indescribable complex emotions in her heart.

The next moment, Li Mo's gentle voice came: "Yue'er, you have forgotten, I have been by your side for all these years, who else in the world understands you better than me?"

Princess Yuhua was reminded by him, and suddenly remembered many past events, including Xiao Hei who was sent to her as a pet, Xiao Hei who rushed to protect him when provoked by other princes and princesses, Xiao Hei who died for her, and "Death" Ah Mo, who has been accompanying her since her "resurrection"...

In an instant, the fear and other indescribable complex emotions that had just emerged in her heart dissipated. Instead, gentle and soft feelings filled my heart.

She said "hmm" softly and stopped talking.

But after thinking about the emperor who left, she was a little worried: "Can those words deceive the emperor? In fact, the emperor loves me very much, otherwise, otherwise, we tell the truth and let him help you-"

"No!" Li Mo's tone was a little urgent.

Princess Yuhua was very puzzled.

Li Mo had no choice but to continue: "Don't. You should know that your father has been seeking immortality for many years. If you know my identity... exposing a demon king might attract cultivators hidden in the human world... …”

He said it euphemistically, but Princess Yuhua understood what he meant and immediately came to her senses: "That's right. Once my father has the intention of attracting monks and rashly exposes your identity, A Mo, it will be bad."

"It seems that we can only find ways to help you recover on our own." She sighed sadly, thinking that she and Li Mo were squeezed into the same body, which was a little awkward, so she opened her mouth awkwardly. He said, "This is a bit inconvenient after all. Ah Mo, can you go out first?"

At this time, in order to concentrate on resisting the pollution in the monster, Li Mo had let Princess Yuhua take over the body again. Hearing her question, Li Mo's consciousness was silent for a moment, and then he said: "I was too seriously injured this time. Maybe I need to cultivate my demon soul. I don't know if I can escape temporarily - I need to try."

Princess Yuhua agreed without hesitation.

Li Mo's so-called attempt was simple.

Previously, he lied to Princess Yuhua that entering another person's body requires compatibility. If the compatibility is too low, it is likely to fail. In fact, it is not necessary. As long as the person is willing or signs a voluntary "oath", he can possess him. Demons have many ways of coaxing mortals into making oaths.

With the cooperation of Princess Yuhua, it will be even easier. With her noble status, once she gives an order, no one in the Mingyue Palace dares to disobey her.

Even if Princess Yuhua made any strange request, these palace servants did not dare to refute it. By setting a few language traps, these people would trick Princess Yuhua, even if they "voluntarily" let go of their protection and allowed Li Mo to possess her.

Now that Li Mo's demon soul has been hit hard, he doesn't dare to branch out too much. He only branches out a little bit and possesses it in these human bodies as a pathfinding stone. If it succeeds, it means that he can get out of Princess Yuhua's body; if it fails, it means that his conjecture has come true.

…

When one person and one demon in the Mingyue Palace were trying to kill the palace servants, the emperor had already left the Mingyue Palace, summoned several secret guards, and asked about what happened in the cold palace.

Those secret guards had been standing nearby, but they only saw Princess Yuhua come out in a state of despair. They did not see "Xie Yuan" - who had digested the magic formula in Li Mo's demon, and used some simple blinding methods to deal with it. It was not easy for me to do this - this seemed to corroborate what Princess Yuhua said. ♦This work is provided by situ.com and can be read online.

The emperor did not show any surprise, and waved away the secret guards, his eyes wide and pondering: "...How many more days do we have to wait?"

He sat in the empty hall, staring straight into the air, wondering what he was thinking.

"Is this the answer you gave me? Everything is going well. How many more days will it take for you to show up in front of others?"

"...Or is there something unexpected that happened that I don't know about?"

At this moment, the secret guard who had left not long ago appeared again and handed an urgent handwritten letter to the emperor's case.

The emperor took it and looked at it, then stood up suddenly.

"Something happened to Daozhen Temple? Master Chixiao is also dead?"

Chapter 124 The Flower 9

By the time the emperor received the news, everything had already spread.

A murder case occurred in Daozhen Temple. Along with the temple owner, Master Chixiao, the disciples of Master Chixiao, and two Taoist boys, they all died in a horrifying manner.

This matter was discovered by a pilgrim who went up the mountain to worship the gods.

"...At that time, the man was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and his legs were as weak as mud." In the teahouse in the city, a good person talked about this unsolved case in a mysterious and somewhat fearful way. Tongue said ‌ said, "I know Jing Zhaoyin's old man's work. According to what he said, those people committed suicide. Their deaths were strange and unusual at first sight... Hey, don't tell me that they have provoked something evil." ?”

Some people don’t believe this: “Where are the evil spirits in this world! Even if there are, the Taoist temples should be protected by the Bodhisattvas, how dare the evil spirits do this? In my opinion, could it be that they have been hit by the evil magic of the Southern Xinjiang Gushu?”

“It is difficult for mortals to count all the strange things in this world, so why make a rash judgment? I have traveled around and know a lot of strange people and strange things.” A scholar dressed as a scholar suddenly spoke up, “Not long ago, when I passed by Jinhua Prefecture, I heard about a strange thing.”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the scholar was not afraid, but smiled generously.

"You must have heard of Yandang Mountain, with its numerous peaks and clouds and mist, which is a unique sight in Jinhua Prefecture. It is said that more than 50 years ago, a scholar named Li and his friends made an appointment to visit Yandang Mountain to enjoy the scenery, but they did not expect that the wind would be strong and the rain would pour down in the evening, so they lost their way in the mountains and their friends scattered..."

"I don't know how, but the scholar named Li entered a valley. There was an old man, more than ten men and women, and many children playing in the valley. I was fortunate to be treated and took shelter in the valley..."

The man recalled and told the story.

It is said that the people in the valley are numerous and hospitable. After Li entered the valley, they presented him with fresh fruits and mountain spring wine for him to eat and drink. There were also children babbling, shaking their heads, and imitating him to speak and read.

The scholar named Li expressed his gratitude and pitied these children who were in the mountains.
