Chapter 634 Demon Ridge

A light, the light shakes. A censer, green smoke curling up.

Shao Pingbo sat cross-legged on the couch, with one arm propped on the table, and a scroll in the other hand to read. There was an unfinished game of chess on the table, and the people under the lights were full of grace and elegance.

Shao Sansheng entered, walked to the side and stretched out his hand, the temperature in the room was not low, he wanted to take off the silver fox fur on his body.

As soon as the scroll was lifted, Shao Pingbo blocked his hand, Shao Sansheng had no choice but to give up, and said softly: "Your Majesty is afraid that the eldest son will be lonely, so he sent someone to send two beauties, both of whom are the best in beauty and temperament, should we accept it or not?"

Shao Pingbo calmed down: "Jun En dare not resign, let's settle down. How about over there?"

Shao Sansheng knew what he was asking, and replied: "I made statistics together with the news from the east, and nearly a thousand monks were lost on both sides of the east and west."

Shao Pingbo's eyes moved away from the scroll, and his eyes fell on the chessboard beside him. He reached into the chess bowl, twisted a white piece and pressed it on the grid, and then picked up a few black pieces from the chessboard and threw them aside. , and then continue to read their own books.

This inexplicable moment in the middle of reading made Shao Sansheng aware of something, and tried to ask: "My lord, do you have any explanation?"

Shao Pingbo read quietly and didn't answer him.

Having followed him for many years, Shao Sansheng knew him, and if he didn't say a word, he didn't want to say anything, so he didn't need to ask any more, and he bowed slightly and retreated without bothering him any more.

Shao Pingbo looked up slightly, looked at his leaving back, and then returned to the book again.

For him, to a certain extent, he was not defeated by Niu Youdao, but by those monks. Those monks interfered too much, even in the state of Jin. The degree of control of the unity makes it difficult for him to display it.

In particular, the group of students he brought was like an iron curtain, with great resistance, and it was difficult to intervene in various corners and corners to exert their abilities. To put it bluntly, it was difficult to grasp a certain amount of real power. If it is stable, it will be difficult for him to be stable in the future.

Sparsely, more sparsely, fewer monks will participate, more secular people will be used, and capable people will be needed to do things. This is true for his students, or for his own current situation.

If Jin refuses to give 30% of the benefits to Zhao, the attitudes of Jin, Wei, and Qi will not be unified. The loosening of Jin's attitude is driven by him.

What gave Niu Youdao was a quiet disaster.

He could have imagined that the three major factions in the Yan Kingdom would not let Nanzhou break the situation easily, and wanted to restrain Nanzhou so that it would be difficult to move until the situation deteriorated to the point where he would collapse with just a slight push. He would let Niu Youdao watch helplessly. The hard work he put in in Nanzhou was ruined, and he wanted to see what Niu Youdao could do under the general situation.

...

Demon Ridge, similar to Star Picking City and Bingxue Pavilion, is on the same mountain range as Misty Pavilion, but they are far apart.

Although they are both monks, human beings still have a certain degree of repulsion to ghosts and ghosts, so ghosts and ghosts like to come here to do business.

To some extent, this is a forgotten corner, because of the special geographical reasons, it is shrouded by gathered dark clouds all year round, and it is difficult to see the sun.

The main building of Yaomo Ridge was dug out of a huge rock, a huge mountain that looked like a skull. It was called the Demon Palace, and it was the original main altar of the Demon Cult.

But today's Devil's Cult has gradually declined, just because there is an astonishingly talented person in the Devil's Cult, Wu Chang!

Wu Chang, one of the nine supreme beings today, was the right envoy of the Demon Sect before his rise, and a lot of strange things happened in that short period of time. The leader of the Demon Sect was also Wu Chang's adoptive father and died. Wu Chang also failed to become the leader of the Devil's Cult. Since then, the Demon's Cult has lost its leader and right envoy.

Wu Chang was furious that the saint who had dedicated her life to the Devil's Cult's inheritance many years ago had a relationship with someone. Once the saint died, the position of the Devil's Sect's saint disappeared. Now the Devil's Cult only has one left envoy who is in charge.

With absolute strength, Yaomo Ridge naturally became Wu Chang's territory. Wu Chang thought about his old love, but he didn't drive away the members of the Demon Cult. The Demon Cult became the housekeeper of Yaomo Ridge, similar to the city lord of Zhaixing City. .

On the cliff, Zhao Xiongge sat with one leg hanging outside the cliff, with one hand propped up on the ground, and the other holding a wine gourd to pour wine into his mouth.

"Roar!" On the dangerous slope not far away, Jin Maohou suddenly roared to the sky, with thick fangs, terrifying claws, and a powerful tail like a steel whip.

It seems to be reminding Zhao Xiongge that someone is coming, and it seems to have sensed the changes in the sky.

A beam of light seeps out from the treacherous changes of the dark clouds covering the sky, which is fantastic in this world, adding a different color to this gloomy world.

Singer Zhao Xiong froze from the wine gourd, his new beard was covered with wine, and he looked at the magical beam of light with drunken eyes, as if he was recalling something, and a smile immersed in the past appeared in his eyes.

Not far away came a person, a man with a faint smile on his face all the time, with a hint of vicissitudes in his smile, and a kind of gentleness in his resolute face like a knife and axe, with a different kind of masculine charm.

Dressed in silky black, she flew gracefully like a fairy, her long hair fluttered back in the wind, half black and half white, with white at the end.

This person is Nan Tian Wufang, the left envoy of the Demon Cult.

After landing, he flicked his sleeves with both hands, and the gown with wide sleeves and gown fluttered back. He also sat cross-legged beside Zhao Xiongge, looked at the obsessed Zhao Xiongge, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Xiongge replied dreamily: "It's so beautiful!"

"Maybe." Nantian Wufang also stared at the beam of light for a while, and then slowly said: "You went to the thatched villa to alarm that one, and you have already asked about it."

Zhao Xiongge: "Didn't you force me to deal with me?"

"If he can't find the magic book, he won't kill you easily. It's useful to him, so he won't give up easily." Nantian Wufang replied casually, and then asked: "You are the last person to contact the saint , have you really never seen the Grimoire?"

Zhao Xiongge: "How many times have I said it, but I have never seen it before."

Nantian Wufang: "At least you are the person most likely to know the whereabouts of the tome."

"I don't know." Zhao Xiongge replied, looking up and drinking.

Nantian Wufang: "Be careful in the future, otherwise you will cause trouble for yourself. He can't kill you but can imprison you."

Zhao Xiongge: "I can't just watch Shang Qingzong cut off the incense, can I?"

Nantian Wufang: "It may not be to help him, it is estimated that Misty Pavilion has already set his sights on him."

Zhao Xiongge chuckled, "Are you worried about him, or someone else?"

"You think too much." Nantian Wufang said lightly, and snatched the wine gourd in his hand, not too dirty, and looked up and gurgled.

After drinking happily, the wine gourd was thrown back smartly, and then he said, "The situation is too big this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to help him even if you want to. He's really in trouble this time."

Zhao Xiongge held the wine gourd in his arms, shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, Dong Guo Haoran has taken in a good apprentice."

...

"Sister, do you look good?"

Shang Shuqing was about to look for Niu Youdao, when he bumped into Guan Fangyi who was also coming this way, the latter shook the golden steps on his head and asked.

Shang Shuqing stared at it for a while, but didn't find anything special, it was just a gold hairpin that couldn't be more gold, without any embellishments, pure gold.

Shang Shuqing didn't know when her taste fell in love with such vulgar things, but she nodded and smiled and said, "Anything looks good on the eldest sister's head."

"Duplicity." Guan Fangyi giggled and pointed to the sky, "It's a bit vulgar, but it's kind of an eye-opener for that guy to know how to give me this kind of thing, I'm so happy .”

Shang Shuqing was surprised, "Give it from the Taoist?"

Guan Fangyi: "Yes, don't you believe it?"

Shang Shuqing couldn't help looking at the hairpin again, feeling a little envious.

Just at this moment, Niu Youdao came out with a leather bag from the yard, saw the two of them, and asked, "Are you talking ill of me behind my back again?"

"Guilt of being a thief!" Guan Fangyi sneered, twisted her waist, waving her round fan, and swayed away with the golden steps on her head.

The two watched each other for a while, Shang Shuqing came over, Niu Youdao looked at Guan Fangyi's back and sighed, "This woman, she knows how to fool around all day long, doesn't know how to practice diligently, and can't even talk about her brain. How wonderful, I really doubt it, she has been in Qijing for many years, and she is ostentatious, how can she live until now?" After saying that, she shook her head.

Shang Shuqing pursed her lips and smiled, "Eldest sister is a lucky person."

In fact, she was really envious of Guan Fangyi. She found that Guan Fangyi and Niu Youdao got along very well. Their speech and behavior gave people an illusion that they were of the same age. She had also been in contact with it, and she didn't feel this way with Hei Mudan and Niu Youdao.

After finishing speaking, she hesitated to speak.

Niu Youdao looked back and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shang Shuqing tried to remind: "I heard that the reinforcements led by Su Qitong, governor of Haozhou, were defeated by the rebels again. This is already the third wave of defeated reinforcements."

Shang Chaozong was really in a hurry. He couldn't do it by himself, so he secretly informed his sister and asked her to find a way to persuade her.

As soon as Niu Youdao heard it, he knew it in his heart, and left after saying a word, "Wait, hold your breath!"

Shang Shuqing watched him leave, lowered her head a little discouraged, and didn't dare to say anything more.

In front of Niu Youdao, she was getting more and more stressed. Even if Niu Youdao sat quietly with his eyes closed and asked her to comb her hair, it would still give her an inexplicable sense of pressure...

After leaving the villa, Niu Youdao went straight to the guest house, where he saw Yun Ji who was covered with a veil and refused to show her true colors.

After the two sat down in the living room, Niu Youdao put the bag on the table, "This is the Lingyuan Pill for your cultivation, it should be enough for you for a while."

Yun Ji thanked her with a slight nod, and asked, "How is that person doing the investigation?"

Niu Youdao: "Plan for the worst."

Yun Ji was startled, "Could it be really..."

Niu Youdao interrupted with a wave of his hand. Some things can only be understood but cannot be explained in words, "The people led by brother Yun Huan are still on the way, and they will arrive in a few days. There is also the ghost mother who has already led the ghost cultivators in the Yinshan Mountain. Come here, anyway, I will do the whole play, you have to act as if nothing happened, stay here and practice with peace of mind, I have already ordered someone to prepare a cave for you, it will not delay your cultivation."

Yun Ji could only nod her head solemnly.
