"I won't let anything happen to you."
After saying this, Emperor Shi Tian disappeared on the spot.
"Xiaotian, don't go yet. I still have something to say to you, Xiaotian! Xiaotian!" The old master's voice echoed in the room, but the figure of Emperor Shitian was nowhere to be seen.
"He came and went without a trace. Can you please let me finish what I am saying?"
"Old Master, you clearly know that the Lord cares most about your illness, but you still keep saying those unlucky words. You are really... Alas." The shadow guard following Emperor Shitian came over with a storage bag in his hand and put it on the table.
"Here are all the little gadgets that His Majesty has collected for you along the way. His Majesty knows that you love to play, so he always finds these things for you every time he goes out and brings them back to entertain you. He also knows that you don't want to be locked up in the Demon Palace, but he has no choice, he is also doing this for your own good. Your body cannot mobilize your cultivation, and he is worried that you will encounter some dangerous situation when you go out. Old Master, you have to understand His Majesty and don't always mention death in front of him. His Majesty is very sad to hear these things."
Looking at the gadgets that the shadow guard kept taking out from the table, the old master's eyes gradually became darker.
Above the Demon Mountain, black fog filled the air, surrounding the rugged rocks, making it look extremely eerie.
On the top of the cliff, Emperor Shitian stood facing the wind, his black robe fluttering and his silver hair dancing. From a distance, he seemed isolated from the world and particularly lonely.
He had almost forgotten how long he had lived in this world. He was a cold and indifferent person who cared about very few things and even fewer people.
That old man was one of the few.
He particularly remembered the day when he just woke up, he was covered in wounds and found himself in the wilderness.
Later, it was picked up by the old man.
It was the old man who helped him heal his wounds regardless of his wishes, and chattered in his ears every day, telling him what he saw, heard, thought, and felt. He even took the initiative to accept him as his apprentice.
He also forgot how he later acknowledged this master.
However, it feels good to have someone who cares about me and worries about me all the time.
The old man's cultivation was very high. If it wasn't for protecting him, he wouldn't have been secretly injured, resulting in the poisoning of Dantian, which could not be cured by medicine.
Although he had tried every possible means, he could only force the poison to the edge of his dantian. Although his life was no longer in danger for the time being, he could no longer mobilize the true qi in his dantian.
As long as the true qi is mobilized, the toxins will be stimulated to spread and invade the tendons and veins.
He coughed so violently just now, probably because he used his spiritual power again when he went out. The toxins invaded the lungs and caused the cough.
He found the best alchemist in the Magic City and asked him to refine a pill that could suppress the spread of the poison, but it was only a suppression.
Once the toxins invade the heart, there is really no way to save it.
He didn't want to lock up the old man, knowing that he was active, lively, and couldn't stand loneliness. But he had no choice, the old man was too impulsive and easily took action, so he could only do this.
He just hoped that he would have more time to find a way to detoxify. That was all he hoped for...
"Your Majesty, the doctor has checked the old master's pulse. The poison has spread very rapidly this time, and it should be because the old master used the Buddhist seal. The doctor said that if no better method of suppressing or detoxifying can be found, the old master... will not live more than half a year."
Emperor Shi Tian's hands hidden under his robe sleeves tightened and trembled slightly, silently expressing his worry and nervousness.
"Who allowed the old master to use the Buddha seal?" Damn him!
"I have checked and it is from the Ling family."
"The Taoists - the Ling family, are so brave!"
... ...
"Princess, the old master has already ordered that you are not allowed to enter the palace. It would be inappropriate for us to go like this..."
After Minghua taught the maid a lesson, he realized belatedly that the Demon Lord had returned to the Demon Palace. The depression that the maid had just relieved came back again, and it was even more intense than before.
If the old lord had not ordered him not to approach the Demon Palace, she would not have used such a stupid method.
I waited for several days, but it was all in vain. How can I not be annoyed!
"Don't you think this princess doesn't know? But now, besides this method, does this princess have any other choice? Besides, the Demon Lord is the most filial, and what he cares about most at the moment is the illness of the old master. This Pearl Fairy Grass is the most precious thing in our Northern Palace. This princess takes this to the Demon Palace, which is equivalent to having a pass to enter the palace. What do you know?" Minghua's eyes sparkled, staring at the slender red brocade box in his hand, as if it was not a fairy grass, but the Demon Lord himself. His eyes sparkled, and tenderness flowed.
She seemed to have seen the scene where the Demon Lord fell in love with her at first sight.
In the magnificent Fengyi Palace, the Demon Lord was tender and affectionate, drawing her eyebrows and tying her hair for her with his grace as vast as the sea.
She saw those nobles who had once laughed at her, all kneeling at her feet in tears, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Hahahaha...hahaha..."
She couldn't help but burst into laughter, which made the maid next to her feel a little weird. She didn't know what was wrong with her princess, but she didn't dare to speak casually. After all, the blood at the city gate hadn't dried yet.
Before the carriage approached the entrance to the Demon Palace, it was stopped by a team of guards.
"The Demon Palace is a restricted area. No one is allowed to enter without the summons of our king!"
He was wearing silver black iron armor and a black iron helmet on his head, with only his eyes and mouth exposed. His whole body was filled with a murderous aura, and he looked a little scary.
This is the Black Armor Army that is specifically responsible for guarding the Demon Palace. It is said that they once followed the Demon Lord into battle. They have high cultivation levels, are ruthless and directly subordinate to the Demon Lord.
"Princess...Princess..." The little maidservant had lived in the backyard for a long time, and had never seen such a murderous person. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she was trembling.
"Why are you panicking?" After saying that, Minghua slowly poked her head out of the carriage and said with a sweet smile, "Announce that Princess Minghua is here to see you with the family treasure."
After he finished speaking, the Black Armor Army did not move, still maintaining the same blocking posture as before. It seemed that they had no intention of reporting at all.
Minghua continued to smile and waited patiently for a while. His expression was almost frozen, but the man still didn't move.
I was a little annoyed, but I never showed it.
"Master Xuanjiajun, I am Princess Minghua of the Northern Palace. I heard that the old master was ill and was very worried. I brought the family treasure with me. It is said that this is a fairy grass left in the fairyland, which was passed down from generation to generation by my ancestors. Maybe it can help the old master's condition. I would like to trouble Master Xuanjiajun to report it on my behalf." After saying that, he turned around immediately, "Cai Ju."
The maid named Caiju immediately gestured, took out a bead as white as jade, and handed it to the Xuanjia Army.
But before Caiju could get close, the Xuanjia soldier took a step back, turned the big knife in his hand over, and placed it on Caiju's neck.
"The Demon Palace is a restricted area. Anyone who enters without permission will be killed!"
The cold temperature of the blade instantly reached Caiju's heart, frightening her so much that her legs went limp and she fell to the ground. The beads in her hand also rolled off.
"County... County... Princess..." Caiju fell to the ground, her body shaking uncontrollably, looking at Minghua with tears in her eyes.
Minghua was also a little frightened at this moment. She really didn't expect that the Black Armor Army would be so stubborn. She had already stated her identity as a princess, but they didn't give her any face and even dared to draw their swords!
"Master Xuanjia Army, I..." Minghua was unwilling to give up and wanted to say something, but he was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Retreat immediately or you will be killed without mercy!" These cold words were devoid of any emotion.
"Humph, Caiju, why are you still lying on the ground? Why don't you get up?" After saying that, he turned around and got on the carriage. "Let's go."
Caiju hurriedly got up from the ground, staggering a little, but still hurried to catch up with Minghua's carriage. She thought: Compared with these black armor soldiers, the princess seems much more amiable... ...
"The old master sits there looking at the sky every day. What's wrong with him?" A subordinate who served the old master looked at his strange behavior recently and raised the question in his mind curiously.
"It seems he is waiting for the carrier bird." Servant No. 2 answered.
"Messenger bird? Does the old master want to eat roasted carrier bird?" Servant No. 1 suddenly realized, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
"... ... " Servant No. 2 was actually speechless.
Since Ling'er left, Yao Lao has been worried. Those old guys in the Ling family are not easy to mess with. I don't know whether the girl has found Yu'er and what her current situation is.
Oh, I'm so anxious.
Just after Yao Lao looked at the sky and sighed ninety-eight times, a hurried voice broke in.
"Old sir, the messenger bird is coming, the messenger bird is coming." The one who spoke was the child who had asked the question just now.
Carrier bird
That girl finally wrote to me, that’s great.
Yao Lao immediately stood up and looked towards the source of the sound.
"Where is the carrier bird? Where is the carrier bird? Quick, give it to me, quick, give it to me."
When Servant No. 1 heard the old master's happy and excited tone, he knew that he had guessed correctly. He immediately took the thing in his hand and handed it to the old master like offering a treasure.
"Hey, old master, I specifically asked the kitchen to make this for you. I used a new seasoning, it's super delicious." As soon as he finished speaking, a plate of roasted carrier birds with good color, aroma and taste appeared in front of Yao Lao.
Servant No. 2 looked at No. 1's joyful behavior and covered his eyes helplessly. He wanted to stop No. 1, but his movements were too fast.
There is nothing we can do, just wish you the best.
Looking at the so-called messenger bird, Yao Lao was stunned for a moment. The next second, an earth-shattering roar echoed in the house. Then, a continuous stream of screams could be heard.
"Is this a messenger bird? Is this a messenger bird? You little bastard, you deceived an old man like me and made me excited for nothing. I will beat you to death!"
Bang!
Bang!
Click!
Ah~
Various friction and collision sounds came one after another, and the tragic situation was obvious.
Servant No. 2 kept covering his eyes, he couldn't bear to watch. The old master was kind-hearted, he wouldn't really hurt him, at most he would suffer some physical pain. The only thing he could do for Servant No. 1 was to buy him some more medicine for wounds... ...
At this moment, Mo Yu suddenly received an invitation letter from the Ling family and successfully saved the beaten No. 1.
Yao Lao took the invitation letter and looked at it left and right, but couldn't find any information about the girl.
But according to the time, she should have arrived a long time ago.
The Ling family suddenly extended an invitation at this time. Could it be that they discovered that the girl had some relationship with them, so they deliberately wanted to lure him over so that they could confront him in court
No matter what, he must go on this trip.
He was originally worrying about how he should break into the Ling family's formation, but this was really like a pillow being delivered to him when he was sleepy, it came just in time.
"Hurry up and pack your bags for me. I, an old man, need to go out for a while." Fortunately, he was smart and bribed the courier in advance, otherwise the invitation letter would have been in the hands of that unfilial son by now.
"You are not allowed to go."
What you fear will come true. Just when I was thinking about that unfilial disciple, this person arrived.
Haha, it’s really something I didn’t think about.
He quickly put his hands behind his back, preparing to hide the invitation, but no matter how fast his movements were, they were still not faster than Di Shi Tian's eyes.
The next moment, the invitation letter had already landed in Di Shi Tian's hands.
"The Ling family."
Haha, he hasn't even settled the score with them yet, but they've brought themselves to his doorstep.
When he saw that his invitation letter was gone, Yao Lao immediately got furious.
"You...you...you actually stole Master's things...Hurry and give me the invitation."
"You are not allowed to go."
"No, I have to go this time. You don't know, they captured my precious grandson, and later that girl followed. The old guys in the Ling family are not easy to deal with, and I have to go to support that girl and my precious grandson. This time, I tell you, no matter what you say, I have to go! I have to go! I have to go!"
