Chapter 49 Chapter 49 "What is the demon who made a mistake...
"What is the seal of the demon who made the mistake?" The injured man looked confused.
"Demons are a special race. Those who are powerful, stubborn, and sinful will be sealed up and are not allowed to leave the sealed area. Under normal circumstances, mortals will not touch the seal, but if the seal is damaged or destroyed, mortals will fall in and die." Li Hanshuang blinked and explained slowly.
"So the seal on the demon who made a mistake is the cage that holds the sinners?" The injured man asked tentatively, seemingly understanding.
"That's right." Li Hanshuang nodded.
"I understand," the injured man nodded, "Then shall I notify them now?"
"If I seal it by myself," Li Hanshuang hesitated, "I'm afraid I will only be able to take care of the seal and not protect others. If something happens and I can't rescue you in time, it won't be good for you. So, I won't be the only one to handle the seal. Don't you have any problems on your side?"
“Then how many people are there in total?” the injured man blinked, stopped and asked.
Li Hanshuang contacted Li Qinglian and got a reply saying, "There are four people in total. In addition to me, there are three others, two disciples and one of their elders."
Li Hanshuang said, and asked the two people who participated in the seal beside Li Qinglian, and showed their appearance to the injured: "These."
The injured man looked through it, nodded, and asked hesitantly, "I recognize it, but it's hard to tell others. After all, even if I tell them, they may not be able to figure it out. Can you give them a portrait? I'll hold a meeting with them with the portrait, and they should know it after seeing it."
Li Hanshuang threw the scroll to him and said, "Take it."
The injured man nodded, opened the door, walked out with the scroll, and hurriedly called everyone to a meeting. Li Hanshuang heard them call him General Xiaoma.
It seems that all these years have not been wasted.
After the meeting, General Xiao Ma said to Li Hanshuang, "They already know about it. From now on, they will not stop you from doing things at will. However, they are a little worried that someone will not recognize it and offend you.
So I plan to send some soldiers to protect you in the camp, so that you won't accidentally walk into the trap we set. What do you think?"
"That's fine." Li Hanshuang nodded.
"Well then," General Xiao Ma waved to the people around him, and a group of soldiers came forward. General Xiao Ma pointed at Li Hanshuang and said to them, "This is the first person you need to protect. Don't make a mistake and don't get lost."
The soldiers all said they understood.
General Xiao Ma nodded and asked Li Hanshuang, "When will the others arrive?"
Li Hanshuang glanced at the sky and said, "They have arrived, but I don't know if they can come in, so I want to ask you."
General Xiao Ma was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course you can."
Li Hanshuang nodded and asked, "Then I'll go pick them up? It would be troublesome for them to walk in by themselves. In fact, they can also come here directly, but I'm worried that it will cause panic here, which would not look good."
"Then I will go with you?" General Xiao Ma hesitated for a moment, then said sincerely, "After all, I am in charge of this place now. If a guest comes, I cannot refuse to receive him.
What's more, they came here to seal the place and protect us, so I should be grateful to them.
I don't think there's anything I can give them here, and they are extraordinary people, so they may not appreciate what I give them. It would be better for me to pick them up in person, which would also be a token of my appreciation."
Li Hanshuang nodded: "If that's the case, then go."
The two of them went to the door together and greeted Li Qinglian and his other two disciples.
When General Xiao Ma saw them, he stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Hello, everyone. I am the commander here. If you have any questions, just come to me."
"Hello, hello!" Li Qinglian said quickly.
The two disciples behind him also greeted him.
Li Hanshuang stood by and watched them silently.
After they exchanged greetings, Li Qinglian was already holding hands with General Xiaoma, as if they were good friends who hadn't seen each other for years, and they smiled and said they would get together again when they had time.
Li Hanshuang's head was about to explode after hearing this. The expression on his face became less and less, until it disappeared completely.
Li Qinglian and General Xiao Ma seemed to suddenly remember that there was another person here, and looked at him together. Li Hanshuang stood there expressionless, as if he had been frozen into an ice sculpture.
Li Qinglian smiled at General Xiao Ma and said, "Then let's go to the sealed land now. Do you want to go with us?"
Li Hanshuang frowned.
Li Qinglian pretended not to see it, and General Xiao Ma quickly declined: "Isn't it appropriate for me? I'm just a mortal and I don't know the specific situation."
"There's nothing inappropriate about it," Li Qinglian said with a smile, "We'll protect you, so what are you afraid of?"
Li Hanshuang couldn't stand it any longer and said, "If you guys don't leave now, I'll leave first?"
Li Qinglian said quickly: "Let's go now!"
General Xiao Ma waved to them and said, "Then I wish you all the best!"
Li Qinglian waved as she walked away: "Thank you! Thank you! I'll go drink with you some other day!"
"It's not good to drink while on duty," General Xiao Ma said with a smile, "Next time you come, I'll cook two dishes and we can eat together."
"Okay, okay!" Li Qinglian nodded and walked away.
Li Hanshuang found the seal and stopped.
Li Qinglian couldn't help but whisper to him, "Can't you wait for me to chat for a while?"
Li Hanshuang just looked at him expressionlessly.
Li Qinglian avoided his gaze and muttered, "I just said a few more words, but I didn't have to drag you to talk. You just stood there and did nothing. What are you unhappy about?"
Li Hanshuang was silent for a while and then said, "If I had known that it would take so long to seal together with you, I would have done it alone. The time you spent chatting with me would have been enough for me to seal ten!
I was wondering why they are so inefficient. It turns out they spend all their time doing this. Did you set the example? People follow the example of their superiors. I will clean up the mess someday."
Li Qinglian's eyes widened and he quickly said, "What? It's not like I chat like this every day! It's because I'm closer to mortals this time, and I want to know what they usually do and whether I can come next time.
These things are important, right? You either don't care or you don't know! Is there anything wrong with gathering intelligence?"
"Then go on a mission alone next time when you collect intelligence, and don't mix the task of collecting intelligence with the task of dealing with the seal!" Li Hanshuang endured for a moment, and then asked: "Why did you invite a mortal? His identity is indeed special, but don't you know that it is really dangerous for a mortal to enter the seal?"
"I know!" Li Qinglian still stared and said, "But I thought he would refuse. After all, normal mortals cherish their lives very much. They know that they will die if they get close to dangerous places, so they generally don't go there. They will even say in a literary way that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!"
"Why are you still asking since he rejected you?" Li Hanshuang looked at Li Qinglian coldly.
"Of course it's because when you want to be polite you have to go around in circles and say a few more words. This is politeness. If you insist on pulling me away, then you won't be able to finish talking, right?" Li Qinglian spread out his hands.
"If you guys continue talking," Li Hanshuang said disdainfully, "You have to open the seal yourself! If you want to talk to him, can you pick a time when you are alone? Just take your time, I have no objection! Don't delay me!"
Li Qinglian raised her eyebrows, with a look of gossipy curiosity on her face: "Tell me, what is so urgent that you have to rush to do it? You can't even say a few more words to me?"
"It has nothing to do with you!" Li Hanshuang said expressionlessly.
Li Qinglian snorted, "It's the same answer again. I've heard it a hundred times! Can you come up with something new? You can't come up with anything else, right?"
"Are you here to deal with the seal or to talk?" Li Hanshuang stared at him, asking in confusion and dissatisfaction.
Li Qinglian took a step back: "Okay, okay, I won't tell you! I will know sooner or later!"
Li Hanshuang turned and looked at the seal.
The seal looks like an eggshell with just a broken piece, so you can vaguely see the inside from the outside.
Li Hanshuang looked at the seal and said to Li Qinglian, "Just in case, I'm going to go in and take a look. You stay outside and don't let anything get out."
"I understand. Just go in with peace of mind!" Li Qinglian nodded and said.
Li Hanshuang entered the seal. Inside the seal was a pitch-black prison. There was a man sitting inside. He was wearing a white prison uniform. His hands and feet were shackled. He was bent over, with his head lowered and his back hunched. He was leaning against the wall, facing the shadow, and motionless.
Li Hanshuang took two steps forward and suddenly realized that it was an empty shell with nothing inside. He picked it up with the scabbard and found that the shell was light and had no weight at all. His face suddenly changed and he left the seal.
"You came out so quickly?" Li Qinglian was not surprised by his speed, but just asked as usual.
Li Hanshuang threw the shell to him and said, "I'm afraid the paper money locked here is a golden cicada. Now it has shed its shell and I don't know where it has gone."
"What should I do?" Li Qinglian frowned and turned the shell over and over to take a look.
"Let's start looking now!" said Li Hanshuang.
"What about this seal?" Li Qinglian rolled up the shell into a ball, shrunk it and stuffed it into his bag, preparing to hand it in as evidence after returning to Penglai. He asked Li Hanshuang with a frown.
"Just seal it for now," Li Hanshuang raised his hand, and the seal was covered with a layer of gray. "If the demon that escaped wants to go back to hide, it will definitely not be able to get in. Once it is caught, just throw it back."
"Okay then," Li Qinglian nodded, "Let's start looking now without further delay."
"Go find it." Li Hanshuang nodded.
He found the golden cicada that escaped from the seal in the grass and wanted to catch it back immediately.
