It is clearly midsummer, but the peach forest in the forbidden area always seems to be a neither cold nor cold spring. The peach trees always see endless pink mist, and they will never wither or bear fruit.
Lin Du hung on the tree with a slumped face, refusing to go down, "Senior brother, it's almost over, my spiritual power is really gone."
Hou Cang learned Lin Du's phrase, "Don't believe it."
Lin Du:......
She looked grave, "You just deliberately exhausted my spiritual power and didn't let me learn from my uncle, right?"
"I know all the master's seals." Hou Cang avoided talking.
Lin Du became even more numb, "But you can't learn Master's thoughts and overall view!"
Hou Cang said noncommittally, "Come down."
"Anyway, you can't cut down the tree!" Lin Du firmly refused. Finally, Seventh Senior Sister was in seclusion. How come a ruthless training machine could teach her how to climb trees? Hou Cang was the only one in this life.
"Senior brother, why don't you let me have a rest and tell me about Fanqian City?"
Hou Cang thought for a while, "What's there to say?"
"Although we must despise the enemy strategically, we must pay attention to the enemy tactically, know ourselves and the enemy, and we will never be in danger in a hundred battles."
Lin Du said and suddenly leaned forward, "And senior brother, with your current strength, can you defeat the Demon Lord?"
The midsummer afternoon sun shines through the less lush branches of the peach blossom forest, leaving a clear trace on the face of the ice cube.
"Not sure." Hou Cang paused, "I'm thirteenth on the Heavy Sky Ranking, so I probably can't beat him."
Seeing that Lin Du really didn't want to practice anymore, he simply told her about the structure of the demon world and the demon lord's strength.
Demons value strength and devour their fellow humans and spiritual beings without any lower limit. Internal and external fights are extremely serious and chaotic. There are no camps, only their own lairs. If low-level demons want to survive, they will rely on high-level demons to become servants. and men.
Because of the chaotic internal fighting, demons die every day. The powerful group devours the weak group, and there are also those who join in the fun and pick up the slack. They are all acting like mantises, all are acting like oriole, and there are always some who are becoming cicadas.
Lin Du said in this regard, "A society without order and bottom line will not last long and will always be in internal friction, so it is weak and weak."
Although there is a wave of demons every thousand years that cause heavy losses to spiritual practice, even so, the demons will always remain hidden and will never spread and grow.
Each Demon Lord was in power for a short period of time. Before Qianyu, the longest one only reigned for more than a hundred years before he was killed and devoured by those who came to challenge him.
Qianyu has been in power for more than three hundred years now and is extremely powerful. Although the demon world is still in chaos, he at least suppresses a group of eager men and new strong men.
Lin Du heard this and thought thoughtfully, "So Qianyu's position is not safe, right?"
Hou Cang looked up at her, and there was a rare fluctuation in his tone, "That's not what I meant, right?"
He was clearly saying that Qianyu was extremely powerful, far beyond ordinary evil spirits, otherwise he would not have been able to reign for such a long time without being pulled down.
Why did Qianyu become a wretch whose position was in jeopardy when he reached Lin Du's mouth?
This junior sister's thoughts are wilder than him.
Hou Cang was very worried and decided to remind this junior sister who seemed a little over-inflated, "The Demon Lord is very dangerous. Even if you grow another hundred years, you may not be his opponent."
"Who said I have to go one-on-one with him?" Lin Du raised his hand and pointed at his brain, "Use your brain, that's enough."
"It's so boring to fight and kill all day long."
She wants the king who grew up by devouring and plundering to be dragged down and eaten by the thousands of hands that once surrendered to the throne.
Lin Du grinned, his canine teeth glowed coldly and white, and his eyes were evil, "After all, he seems to be very idle, why don't we cause him some trouble."
Hou Cang didn't understand and was greatly shocked. He expressed concern about the mental state of his junior sister.
"Senior brother, have you been to Hualou?" Lin Du counted the time and found that a month had passed. Maybe it was time to go and check it out.
Hou Cang suddenly realized, "Second Senior Brother must have led you astray."
Cangli was the first disciple that Lintuan accepted. Lintuan was busy with work. Cangli was raised by a group of elders in the sect and taught everything. In the end, he was overwhelmed and practiced Xiaoyao Tao.
When Hou Cang came, Lin Tuan asked Cang Li to teach Hou Cang normal happiness in the world.
Cang Li turned around and took half of the older children to the flower house, leaving a huge shadow on Hou Cang's young mind.
Hou Cang looked at his junior sister and reminded her seriously, "Don't follow Cang Li's example, he is always dishonest."
Lin Du:?
"No, senior brother, you seem to have misunderstood." Lin Du was very sincere, "I just wanted to inquire about the news."
"A serious person would not go to Hualou to inquire for information." Hou Cang refused Lin Du's invitation.
Lin Du sighed, "Then I'll leave first, senior brother."
Hou Cang: ...There seems to be something wrong, but I forgot what was wrong.
Half an hour later, as dusk fell, Lin Du changed his outfit, covered himself with brocade, and hung lanterns around his waist. He took away a face-changing magic weapon from Cang Li, told Feng Chao, and was about to leave.
Hou Cang stood at the door of the main hall with a dark face.
Lin Du was suddenly startled, "Senior brother?"
"Master asked me to watch you and don't let you mess around."
Lin Du:......
"Then senior brother, can you also use a magic weapon to cover your face? Although probably no one will recognize your face now."
Hou Cang hummed, raised his hand to hang a Qianyan Pearl, and changed his face.
After the change was completed, he asked slowly, "Why do you want to change your appearance? Are you really not going to do bad things?"
Lin Du was speechless, "Senior brother, what bad things can I do?"
What bad things can she do!
Hou Cang shook his head, "I don't know, but nothing good will happen if you smile."
Lin Du:?
Bead curtains embroider the door, green smoke and red fire, incense curtains and wind-swept flowers enter the building.
The place was already hot when Lin Du and Hou Cang arrived.
The two of them were led to a seat and settled down. Lin Du began to concentrate on eating snacks. After finishing the snacks, he cracked the peanuts and put them down after finishing the peanuts.
"So what news are you here to inquire about?" Hou Cang saw that her eyes were always staring at the girl on the stage, and she only looked away when the man was flattering her. Finally, she couldn't help it anymore, "It's already been three songs and dances!"
"No rush." Lin Du sniffed the wine casually, picked it up and put it down again, "Be patient, don't these fairy sisters look good?"
Hou Cang frowned and said, "Be normal."
"Okay." Lin Du glanced over, but still didn't see Hu You appear, and frowned slightly.
It shouldn't be, he is in charge, and he will go to toast guests when they enter the box.
Lin Du was about to cause some trouble when he came out. He reached out and touched the plate and found that there were only melon seeds left. Lin Du decided to pick them up and take them away, otherwise he would not scatter them when there would be trouble later.
The music on the Leng Buding stage became louder and louder. Someone stepped on the flower petals from the high stage, and gold and silver butterflies simulated by illusions surrounded them in a colorful way, creating a gorgeous scene in the room.
"Miss Zhiling started throwing flowers to select guests today!"
As expected, the oiran's appearance was always so grand. Before Lin Du could figure out how to cause trouble, a crystal clear ice flower fell on her desk.
Hou Cang: ...Is it too late for him to take the little junior sister out now?
All the guests looked over and saw an ordinary, thin young man, and they were all disappointed.
Lin Du reacted quickly when he saw this, "But I have no money! Which of you wants these flowers? I'll sell them to you!"
Before anyone could answer, a maid came over and said, "The girl said, I just listen to a piece of music, and I don't charge any money."
Lin Du looked back at the senior brother with a strange and stiff expression, and his eyes fell on the girl who was about to go upstairs. The girl's eyes were wandering, her features were clear and aloof, but she also had an indescribable sense of vulnerability, "That's okay. "
Hou Cang sneered.
I can’t have this junior sister anymore, really.
Inside the house, the cold fragrance has a special coolness, which is completely different from the sweet and warm floral fragrance outside.
Lin Du entered the house, and several maids retreated, leaving only Zhiling who was playing the pipa seriously.
She walked around the room and her eyes fell on the Duobaoge. Like a person who had never seen the world, she looked over one by one and touched them from time to time.
Zhiling was tuning the strings while looking at the man in green. Feeling a little uncertain for no reason, she asked tentatively, "Does your guest like hibiscus jade?"
There is no hibiscus jade on Duobao Ge.
Lin Du's fingertips fell on an emerald ornament, then he took out the Han Yueling from his sleeve, forced it to turn into a fantasy world of mirrors, flowers, water and moon, simulated world of listening to music, slapped it in front of the thing, and then turned around Come on, "Okay, the spying and eavesdropping spiritual weapon has fooled me, where is the fox?"
A flash of surprise flashed in Zhiling's eyes, "The manager left, he said yes, and went to work in the core of the branch."
"How did you recognize me?"
"The steward said that if you meet someone who doesn't drink and eats instead of drinking, who doesn't have enough food to even carry melon seeds, or who makes trouble for no apparent reason and calls the steward, that's probably the person who's coming to see him."
Lin Du: ...As expected of Hu You.
"Does he have something to bring me?"
"The manager said that he has managed to get some clues, and indeed has some sources in Fanqian City, but he has not yet found the person you mentioned who suddenly appeared. However, Demon Lord Qianyu's men have their own plans, and they are not all of the same mind. By then, I’ll try to send you a directory.”
Lin Du nodded, it would be strange if he had the same intention.
"Can you give me a message?"
"You can give it a try." Zhiling looked at Lin Du's hands that fell casually on the shelf. This man had an average appearance but excellent hands.
Slender as jade, with a thin callus on it, it doesn't look like it was made by holding a sword, but more like it was made by holding a pen. It's probably not a person who can fight.
"Tell Huyou and let him try to reveal to the demon world that the demon king is not in the demon world and is trapped and unable to show up."
Lin Du added, "Don't worry, this is true news."
Zhiling was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously, "I will, but it may not be in time."
"No rush." Lin Du smiled.
The chess pieces need to be laid out slowly. This is the second step.
