"No, Your Highness Princess, you must not listen to this person's nonsense. Setting fire to the mountain will harm the peace of the world. Moreover, if the mountain is burned, the livelihood of many people will be affected. You must not do this!"
As the captain said, he pulled out his knife again and wanted to chop Ye Ming.
Princess Lingbi also said:
"This matter is of great concern. If you do this, wouldn't it be even more hateful than that monster? You must never do it."
"Then you can only find them slowly by yourselves. It just so happens that they all receive royal salaries, and they can't get them in vain."
Ye Ming said indifferently.
"Nonsense, the imperial salary is only a few dollars. We brothers are playing with monsters for our lives, not for that little salary!"
"So, you are dissatisfied with the imperial court?"
"You!" The captain realized that he had fallen into a trap and hurriedly explained to Princess Lingbi,
"Your Highness, please don't misunderstand me. This villain is loyal to the imperial court and has no dissatisfaction at all. It was this monster's clever words that set him up. Your Highness, please tell me clearly!"
"I know, I don't blame you."
After Princess Lingbi said something, she said to the others,
"Please cooperate with the eminent monk of Xinci Temple to find the monster's lair. You will be rewarded when the time comes."
Hearing that there was a reward and a group of monks were joining the battle, the officers felt a lot more confident and continued to cut through the thorns in the mountains, looking for traces of the monster.
Princess Lingbi looked at the elderly monk standing beside her and said:
"Master Zhijue, please help me find him. I have Master Chesu to protect me."
Upon hearing this, Master Zhijue put his hands together in a salute, holding Buddhist beads in his hands, and also helped search for traces of the monsters.
The remaining prefect Chesu stood next to Princess Lingbi, seeming to be chanting sutras with their heads lowered and paying no attention to external affairs.
But Ye Ming knew that the master's wife had been guarding against him, for fear that he would suddenly become violent and hurt the princess.
Zhao Yuwan finished complaining to Princess Lingbi and returned to Ye Ming.
Ye Ming didn't care at all about Master Chesu's defense against him, so he found a big tree that had fallen to the ground and sat down. Zhao Yuwan also sat down.
Princess Lingbi first looked at the situation around her. Seeing that everyone was looking for monsters and that she seemed to be of little help, she walked over to Zhao Yuwan and sat down, holding her hand and talking to her.
Zhao Yuwan was flattered and communicated with Princess Lingbi in a very reserved manner.
Princess Lingbi looked at her feet and asked:
"In these days, there are not many people who don't keep the three-inch golden lotus. Why don't you keep it?"
"Folk girls, folk girls kept them before, but later..."
As he said that, he looked at Ye Ming again.
Princess Lingbi was a little surprised and looked at Ye Ming:
"Master Yang, is there any way to restore a person's feet to normal size?"
Ye Ming smiled and nodded:
"A few minor skills are not worth mentioning."
Princess Lingbi heard this and said:
"Lingbi has an unkind request. I wonder if Mr. Yang can agree to it?"
Hearing what Princess Lingbi said, Ye Ming "looked" at Princess Lingbi's feet.
A pair of small three-inch golden lotuses.
Master Tetsusu saw Ye Ming staring directly at the princess's feet, very rudely, and wanted to dissuade her, but the words came to her lips, but she didn't know how to speak.
Because people haven’t opened their eyes, how can you say they are “seeing”?
"Your Highness, do you want a pair of big feet?"
Ye Ming was a little surprised. This was the first time he met a woman who actively wanted big feet.
Princess Lingbi nodded and said:
"Yes, but it's not about big feet. I just want to restore the size that a woman should have."
"This is surprising. Your Highness, a princess of a country, is willing to give up three inches of golden lotus."
"This is really a burden for Lingbi. Since Lingbi swore not to marry in this life, it is useless to keep these little feet to please men.
Now I want to do more to save people from fire and water, but I am often dragged down by my feet, so I want to ask Mr. Yang for help. "
Princess Lingbi explained the reason.
Zhao Yuwan was surprised: "Why did Your Highness swear not to marry for the rest of his life?"
Then, realizing that I had asked something I shouldn’t have asked, I quickly changed my words:
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I didn't mean to offend you. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Princess Lingbi laughed, reached out and took off the hat.
It looked like it was covered with burns. From the head to the neck, even the parts below the shoulders that were covered by clothes showed faint traces of burns.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuwan covered her mouth in surprise.
"Your Highness, you are..."
Princess Lingbi put on the bamboo hat again and said without sadness:
"This matter has long since passed and there is no need to mention it again."
As he said that, he looked at Ye Ming again,
"I wonder if Mr. Yang would be willing to help Lingbi recover his feet?"
As a big devil, Ye Ming is naturally very happy to break the inherent rules of human beings. Only by breaking all kinds of human rules and causing chaos can the human world be turned into a paradise for monsters. Ye Ming has been moving in this direction. Hardworking.
He took out two finger-sized bones with his backhand and handed them to Princess Lingbi:
"Grind this into powder and make tea to drink. Remember to prepare some ice cubes to cool down after taking it."
Hearing Ye Ming's statement, Zhao Yuwan blushed a little.
She has experienced the side effects of this bone meal, but every time Ye Ming taps her between her eyebrows, she feels cool and calm.
Princess Lingbi took it, put it away, and thanked Ye Ming.
It is obviously not suitable for use at this time, and it must be kept for later use.
After everyone found an area without any trace of monsters, they started to move collectively and move their positions.
Since we know that monsters are vegetation spirits, they must have nests where they grow. As long as the nests can be destroyed, the monsters can naturally be eliminated.
It's just that Zhuangyin Mountain is really not small. Everyone was busy until dawn, but they couldn't find any trace of the monster. On the contrary, everyone was very tired.
Princess Lingbi looked at the rising sun and ordered everyone to take turns to rest and wait until the sun sets in the afternoon before continuing the search.
Master Zhijue was also a little tired, so he sat cross-legged on the ground and made some corrections.
Staying up late was harmful to her body, and Princess Lingbi herself couldn't bear it any longer. Zhao Yuwan stayed up for the entire second half of the night and was extremely sleepy.
They brought a tent, and Princess Lingbi invited Zhao Yuwan to rest in the tent together.
Ye Ming also wanted to follow, but was stopped by the captain:
"How dare you, can you enter the princess's tent?"
"I won't go in. If something happens to my best friend, can you afford the responsibility?"
At first, the captain didn't realize who Ye Ming was talking about as his best friend. When he realized who Ye Ming was talking about, he realized that he was talking about the princess, and he became even angrier:
"Your Highness is the safest if you are not here. Leave here immediately and do not cause trouble outside the tent."
Ye Ming smiled and said: "Okay, okay, leave now, leave now."
Get on the donkey and really leave here, away from everyone.
Watching Ye Ming go away, the captain breathed a sigh of relief. This guy was so annoying.
Soon, he started to get angry again.
Ye Ming said he was going far away, but it wasn't too far. He arrived under a tree not far away, climbed up the tree in twos and twos, and lay down facing here, face to face with the captain of the police force.
The captain of the service was very angry, but he couldn't leave the tent too far, otherwise he would be leaving his post without permission. He looked at Ye Ming with itching teeth and a bit hateful.
Ye Ming, however, seemed completely unaware and hung on the tree to rest.
Donkey Gen also enjoys the shade under the tree and occasionally eats a few mouthfuls of grass.
Time passed little by little, and when it was close to noon, everyone set up pots to make rice, simply heated up the dry food, and started eating.
A young nun came outside the tent carrying the meal prepared for Princess Lingbi and said respectfully:
"Your Highness, please have lunch."
There was no response from the tent.
The young nun shouted again:
"Your Highness, it's time for lunch."
Still no response.
The young nun was a little surprised. Why did His Highness sleep so deeply today? Could it be that he stayed up all night last night and couldn't bear it anymore?
The young nun stepped forward, put down the food box, and opened the tent.
"Ah~~~Your Highness, Your Highness... Your Highness is missing!"
The young nun's uncontrollable shouting alarmed everyone. The captain of the mission, Master Zhijue, Master Tetsusu, etc. all rushed outside the tent to take a look.
At this time, there was no one in the tent, and both Princess Lingbi and Zhao Yuwan were missing.
"Your Highness!"
The moment the captain saw the princess missing, he felt his head explode with a "boom".
In a daze, he seemed to see his deceased great-grandmother waving to him, and the relatives of the nine tribes smiling at him...
The faces of Master Zhijue and Master Chesu were no longer calm, and they were all shocked.
When other people who came around saw this, they were struck by thunder.
"It's over, it's over, the princess is gone, it's over..."
One officer was so frightened that his legs weakened and he fell to the ground, completely despairing.
At this time, the captain lost his fear and anger and shouted with trembling teeth:
"What the hell are you doing standing still? Find someone, find someone quickly!"
When the others heard this, they woke up from a dream, no longer caring about eating, and searched everywhere like crazy.
The captain saw Ye Ming leisurely coming down from the tree. As if he was still curious about what happened here, he immediately rushed to Ye Ming in three steps and two steps at a time, grabbed Ye Ming's skirt, and was about to lift Ye Ming up.
I lifted it but couldn't move it.
I tried to lift it hard, but it still couldn't be lifted.
He just grabbed Ye Ming's clothes and looked at Ye Ming angrily:
"Demon, is it you, the demon, who kidnapped Her Highness the Princess? Is it you?"
"What did you say? My best friend was kidnapped? What about Miss Zhao Er? She was also kidnapped?"
Ye Ming asked innocently.
The captain's sanity was completely destroyed by Ye Ming's question. He reached out to pull out the knife from his waist, but Ye Ming's hand pressed it on the handle of the knife first. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it out.
After trying for a while, it was to no avail.
He finally recognized the fact that this demon's ability was far superior to his own.
At this time, Master Zhijue came over and said directly without even reciting the Buddha's name:
"It's not the princess that this layman kidnapped."
After persuading the two of them to leave, Master Zhijue saluted Ye Ming again:
"Since the layman is good at calculating, please help us find the location of Her Royal Highness. Presumably another female layman is also with Her Royal Highness.
They must have been kidnapped not long ago, and it's not too late now. "
Ye Ming nodded and said:
"What the master said is that Yang will start divination now to find their location."
...
Zhao Yuwan originally slept very comfortably, but for some unknown reason, she felt a little tight in the chest, short of breath, and had difficulty breathing while she was asleep. Later, she even found it difficult to breathe.
Moreover, it seemed that one could smell the smell of soil mixed with blood, as well as various rancid smells, which were extremely unpleasant.
"Ahem~~"
Zhao Yuwan woke up excited by the disgusting smell.
When he opened his eyes, he saw what kind of tents were around him. They were clearly in a cave. The cave was generally dark, with only a little sunlight coming from above.
Moreover, he seemed to be tied up by many vine-like things, and he was so trapped that it was difficult to move and breathe.
Feeling movement around her, Zhao Yuwan turned her head with difficulty and found that there was another person next to her, a woman with burns all over her body, it was Princess Lingbi who had taken off her disguise.
At this time, Princess Lingbi also woke up, struggling hard, but to no avail.
Zhao Yuwan was about to speak when she heard a voice ringing in her ears:
"You woke up so soon? It seems you didn't sleep very well. Did you have any nightmares?"
A hoarse and unpleasant old woman's voice sounded, and Zhao Yuwan looked towards the direction from which the voice came.
But they saw an old woman with ivy hair looking at them.
The old woman had no body below her head, and was connected to many vines. Those vines spread throughout the cave and took root in the soil.
Zhao Yuwan had never seen such a monster before. She turned pale with fright and her upper and lower teeth were chattering.
"Monster...monster! Mr. Yang, help me, there is a monster!"
...
