Chapter 299 I Kill Demons and Evils in Dafeng
"Master Wei, what do you think of Tong'er?"
The sunlight was dazzling, and the white robe was blown sticking to his body by the warm wind, outlining Li Qi's thin figure.
Hearing the latter's question, Wei Changtian was silent for a while, and then asked back with a confused look on his face:
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"Naturally, it's all aspects."
Li Qi smiled and said, "Does my appearance, background, and personality still appeal to Master Wei?"
“.”
Catches my eye? Even if Wei Changtian's reaction was slow, he could roughly guess what Li Qi wanted to do, but at the same time he was very confused as to why the latter did this.
He had just killed a third-rank general of Dafeng under the city of Yuanzhou, but Li Qi not only kept silent about it, but also wanted to give his daughter away? The best way to deal with this situation is to play deaf and dumb, so Wei Changtian pondered for a moment, and then replied in a dignified manner: "Your Majesty is joking."
"Your Highness the Princess is of noble status. How dare I make irresponsible remarks like that?"
"Hahahaha, whatever."
Li Qi laughed a few times: "Let's talk about this later. Tong'er and I can wait."
Wait for your sister, can you talk about something serious? After complaining in his heart, Wei Changtian decided not to chat with Li Qi about these trivial things, and simply asked:
"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness Princess once said that she wanted my help with something. What is it?"
“This one.”
The smile on his face slowly faded, and Li Qi walked slowly along the bluestone path, his robe swaying slightly with his steps.
"Master Wei, I hope you won't tell too many people what I'm going to say next."
It's finally here!
Wei Changtian's expression suddenly changed: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut!"
"That's good."
Li Qi nodded, stroked his long sleeves with his hand, and told a mysterious story.
One hundred and twenty years ago, exactly sixty years had passed since the last war between Feng and Ning.
Also in early summer, several murders suddenly occurred in a county town in Jingning Prefecture, Dafeng.
All the deceased were virgin boys and girls. There was not a single wound on their bodies, and they had no internal injuries.
At first, the government office thought that this was the work of an evil person, so they handed the case over to the night watchman to handle.
However, unlike the Xuan Jing Si which had branches in various states in Daning, the night watchmen did not have offices in various places in Dafeng. Therefore, after the news was delivered to Fengyuan, the night watchmen would set out to Jingning Prefecture to investigate the case. The round trip took more than ten days.
And during these ten-day period, the case worsened again. The number of children who died increased from a few a day to more than ten a day, and finally reached a shocking number of nearly a hundred a day.
Although the county town has a large population, nearly a thousand children died in half a month. Anyone could sense that something was wrong.
For a time, the people were in panic and terrified.
All the children in the city were locked up in their houses by their parents, but it was of no use. If no one looked after them for a moment, the children would most likely die suddenly and inexplicably.
Such a method of killing is simply unheard of.
However, when he was committing crimes everywhere, there would always be people who were lucky enough to see the evil man . Or maybe he was not a human at all, but a monster that looked like an eagle but not an eagle, and a leopard but not a leopard.
This monster can transform between reality and illusion, and can also change into human form. Even if the night watchman later found a second-grade master, he was helpless against it.
In desperation, the government office had to temporarily avoid the attack and move all the children in the city out of the city.
This approach was indeed effective. All children who left the city did not die suddenly, and the adults in the city did not have to worry about their lives.
When there were no more boys and girls in the city, the death toll was fixed at 3,216.
Although the monster has not been killed yet, at least no one will die. As for the people in the city, the worst that can happen is that they can all move away in the future.
The lives of the people gradually returned to normal, and the turmoil caused by this incident in Dafeng gradually subsided.
Just when everyone thought that the disaster would be over, something happened on the night of July 15th that makes Li Qi's voice tremble when he talks about it to this day.
Overnight, all 72,000 households in the city, along with all the pigs, cattle, chickens, sheep, and all living things died suddenly before dawn, and their deaths were exactly the same as those of the children before.
Before sunset, there were still hundreds of thousands of people in the city, but after sunrise, there was only a dead city left.
After such a thing happened, the Dafeng court was grief-stricken and shocked, and naturally wanted to investigate it thoroughly.
But since then, the monster has never appeared again, and no matter how much manpower and resources are spent, no clues can be found.
Until a decade passed, the same thing happened again, and the location was Huai Ling City, where Wei Changtian had been before. "Huai Ling?"
Wei Changtian stopped and frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, I passed by Huailing Mansion when I came here, and it didn't look like it had suffered such a disaster."
"Could it be that the monster has been killed?"
"If it was a few months ago, I would have answered you yes."
Li Qi shook his head and gave a very strange answer: "But now, it is not."
“.”
Wei Changtian did not respond and waited quietly for what to come.
Li Qi was silent for a moment before continuing.
"At the beginning, we were also helpless against the monster in Huailing Mansion."
"I have tried all the methods of Taoism, Buddhism, magic, and Confucianism, but I still can't do anything to this monster, just like I did 120 years ago."
"Until a swordsman suddenly found the night watchman and said he could subdue the monster."
"No one believed him at first, but we didn't care about that at the time and were willing to try whatever method we could."
"But who would have thought that this swordsman could actually kill this monster with just one sword strike."
"This monster was destroyed, and nearly one million people in Huailing City survived."
"When I was still young, the late emperor promised this swordsman a life of wealth and glory, and also promised to marry my eldest sister to him."
"But who knew that he didn't want anything but to fight with ten Dafeng sword masters."
"The late emperor agreed and found ten of the most skilled swordsmen in Dafeng to compete with this man."
"The swordsman won ten battles and then left without saying goodbye. It was nine years later that we heard about him again."
"In your Daning, I am also looking for someone to duel with."
“.”
Hearing this, Wei Changtian was suddenly stunned, recalling what Qin Zhengqiu had told him about the mysterious swordsman who killed Zhang Benchu on Tianshan Mountain fifty years ago.
The strength, time, and behavior all match, so it looks like they are the same person.
"emperor."
Not thinking about the swordsman for the time being, Wei Changtian carefully reviewed what Li Qi had said, and then asked in a deep voice:
"It has been exactly sixty years since the demon disaster occurred in Huailing, and you just said that the demon is still alive. Could it be that something similar has happened recently?"
"yes."
Li Qi didn't hide anything, and nodded with a wry smile: "It's right here in Fengyuan."
“.”
From a county town, to a provincial capital, and then to the capital of a country.
If the whole city will be destroyed if this monster cannot be dealt with, then these three crises are completely not on the same level.
Wei Changtian immediately understood Li Qi's pressure. After a long silence, he asked again, "Your Majesty, this monster is so powerful, it must have a name, right?"
"There is no name, after all, no one has ever seen this thing before."
Li Qi shook his head: "But the common people call it."
"Yama."
