Chapter 299 Hou Cang doesn’t understand and is greatly shocked
It is clearly midsummer, but the forbidden peach forest always seems to be a mild spring. The peach trees are always covered with endless pink mist, and will never wither or bear fruit.
Lin Du hung on the tree with a gloomy face and refused to get down. “Brother, that’s enough. I really have no spiritual power.”
Hou Cang learned a phrase from Lin Du, “I don’t believe it.”
Lin Du: …
Her face was heavy, “You deliberately exhausted my spiritual power so that I can’t learn from my uncle!”
“I know all the seals of my uncle.” Hou Cang avoided the question.
Lin Du was even more annoyed, "But you can't learn master's thoughts and overall perspective!"
Hou Cang was noncommittal, "Come down."
"You can't cut down the tree anyway!" Lin Du firmly refused to go down. It was not easy for Seventh Senior Sister to go into seclusion, but how come another ruthless training machine came and made her learn to the point that she had to climb trees? Hou Cang was the only one left in her life.
"Brother, why don't you let me take a break and tell me more about Fan Qiancheng?"
Hou Cang thought for a moment, "What is there to talk about?"
"Although we should despise the enemy strategically, we should take the enemy seriously tactically. Knowing ourselves and the enemy, we can fight a hundred battles without defeat."
Lin Du said, and suddenly leaned forward, "And brother, with your current strength, can you beat the Demon Lord?"
The sunlight in the midsummer afternoon passed through the not-so-luxuriant branches of the peach blossom forest, and also left a clear mark on that icy face.
"Not sure." Hou Cang paused, "I'm ranked thirteenth on the Chongxiao list, I probably can't beat him."
He saw that Lin Du really didn't want to practice anymore, so he simply told her the structure of the demon world and the strength of the Demon Lord.
The evil demons worship strength, devour their own kind and spiritual cultivation, and have no bottom line. The internal and external fighting is extremely serious and chaotic. There is no camp, only their own nests. If the low-level evil demons want to survive, they will rely on the high-level evil demons to become servants and subordinates.
Because of the chaotic internal fighting, evil demons die every day. The strong ones devour the weak ones, and there are also those who join in the fun and pick up the spoils. They are all mantises and orioles, and there will always be cicadas.
Lin Du said, "A society without order and bottom line will not last long. It will always be in internal friction, so it is weak and small."
Although there is a demon tide that causes heavy losses to spiritual practitioners every thousand years, even so, the evil demons will always be in obscurity and will never spread and grow.
Each demon lord has a short reign. Before Qianyu, the longest reigned for only more than a hundred years before being killed and devoured by the challengers.
Qianyu has been in power for more than three hundred years and is extremely powerful. Although the demon world is still in chaos, at least he has suppressed a group of covetous subordinates and new strong men.
Lin Du heard this and thought, "So Qianyu's position is not stable, right?"
Hou Cang looked up at her, and his tone rarely showed a slight fluctuation, "I don't think that's what I meant, right?"
He was clearly saying that Qianyu's strength was extremely strong, far beyond the ordinary evil demons, otherwise he wouldn't have been in power for so long without being pulled down.
How come in Lin Du's mouth, Qianyu has become a poor insect whose position is precarious?
This junior sister thinks even 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 live another hundred years, you may not be his opponent."
"Who said I want to fight him one-on-one," Lin Du raised his hand and pointed to his head, "Using your brain is enough."
"Fighting and killing all day is so boring."
She wanted to let the king who grew up by devouring and plundering be dragged down and eaten by the millions of hands that once surrendered to the throne.
Lin Du grinned, his canine teeth glowed with a cold white light, and his eyes were vicious, "After all, he seems to be very idle, how can I not give him some trouble."
Hou Cang didn't understand and was greatly shocked, and expressed his concern about the mental state of the little junior sister.
"Brother, have you ever been to the brothel?" Lin Du calculated the time, a month had passed, maybe it was time to go check it out.
Hou Cang suddenly realized, "It must be Second Brother who led you astray."
Cangli was the first disciple accepted by Lin Tuan. Lin Tuan was busy, and Cangli was raised by a group of elders in the sect. They taught him everything, and finally he couldn't bear the heavy burden and practiced the free and easy way.
When Hou Cang came, Lin Tuan asked Cangli to teach Hou Cang the normal joys of the world.
Cangli turned around and took the half-grown children to the brothel, leaving a huge shadow on Hou Cang's young mind. Hou
Cang looked at the little junior sister and reminded her seriously, "Don't follow Cangli to learn, he is always not serious."
Lin Du:?
"No, Senior Brother, you seem to have misunderstood." Lin Du was very sincere, "I just want to go and get some information."
"A serious person would not go to a brothel to get information." Hou Cang rejected Lin Du's invitation.
Lin Du sighed, "Then I'll leave first, Senior Brother."
Hou Cang: ...It seems something is wrong, but I forgot what it is.
Half an hour later, dusk fell, Lin Du changed his clothes, covered in brocade, with a jade belt, took a magic weapon that could change his face from Cang Li, said something to Feng Chao, and was about to leave.
Hou Cang stood at the door of the main hall with a dark face.
Lin Du was startled, "Brother?"
"Master asked me to watch you and not let you do anything wrong."
Lin Du: ...
"Then brother, you should also use a magic weapon to cover your face? Although no one can recognize your face now."
Hou Cang hummed, raised his hand and hung a thousand-face bead, changing his face. After
the change, he slowly asked, "Why do you want to change your face? You are really not going to do anything bad, right?"
Lin Du was speechless, "Brother, what bad things can I do?"
What bad things can she do!
Hou Cang shook her head, "I don't know, but your smile is always bad."
Lin Du:?
Pearl curtains embroidered the door, green smoke and red fire, the fragrant curtains were blown by the wind and the flowers entered the building.
When Lin Du and Hou Cang arrived, the place was already hot.
The two were led to a seat and settled down. Lin Du began to concentrate on eating snacks, cracking peanuts after eating snacks, and putting them down after eating peanuts.
"So what news are you here to inquire about?" Hou Cang saw that her eyes were always fixed on the girl on the stage, and she only looked away when the man was flirting with her. Finally, he couldn't help it, "There are already three songs and dances!"
"No hurry." 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, "Be normal."
"Okay." Lin Du glanced around, but he didn't see Hu You appear, and frowned slightly.
It shouldn't be like this, he is the manager, and he will go to toast when the guests enter the box.
Lin Du was about to make a scene, he reached out and touched the plate, only melon seeds were left, Lin Du decided to pocket them and take them away, otherwise they might be scattered when he was making trouble.
Suddenly, the music on the stage became faster, someone stepped on the flower petals from the high platform, and the golden and silver butterflies simulated by magic surrounded the room in a gorgeous scene.
"Miss Zhiling, the flower throwing and guest selection will begin today!"
The appearance of the courtesan was indeed so grand, Lin Du hadn't figured out how to make a scene, a crystal clear ice flower fell in front of her table.
Hou Cang: ... Is it too late for him to take the little sister out now?
The guests looked over and saw an ordinary thin young man, and they were all disappointed.
Seeing this, Lin Du reacted quickly, "But I don't have money! Who of you wants this flower? I'll sell it to you!"
Before anyone could answer, a maid came over, "The girl said, just listening to a song, no money."
Lin Du turned his head to look at his senior brother with a strange and stiff face, and his eyes fell on the girl who was about to go upstairs. The girl's eyes were rolling, her eyebrows were clear and proud, but with an inexplicable sense of fragility, "That's fine."
Hou Cang sneered.
This junior sister can't be kept, really.
Inside the house, the cold fragrance brought a special cool breath, which was completely different from the sweet and warm flower fragrance outside.
Lin Du entered the house, and several maids withdrew one after another, leaving only Zhiling who was tuning the pipa seriously.
She walked around the room and her eyes fell on the treasure chest. Like someone who had never seen the world, she looked at everything one by one and touched it from time to time.
Zhiling tuned her strings while looking at the man in green. She felt a little unsure and asked tentatively, "Does the distinguished guest like hibiscus jade?"
There was no hibiscus jade in the treasure chest.
Lin Du's fingertips landed on a jade ornament, and then he took out Han Yue Ling from his sleeve, forcing it to transform into an illusion of mirror flowers and water moon to simulate a world of listening to music, and stuck it in front of the thing, then turned around, "Okay, the spiritual weapon for spying and eavesdropping has been fooled, but where is the fox?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhi Ling's eyes, "The manager is gone. It is said that he has entered the core of the branch to work."
"How did you recognize me?"
"The manager said that if you meet someone who doesn't drink but only eats, and if the food is not enough, he even takes the melon seeds away, or someone who makes trouble for no reason and calls the manager, then he is probably looking for him."
Lin Du: ... worthy of being Fox You.
"Does he have anything to bring me?"
"The manager said that he has some clues and some sources of information in Fanqian City, but he hasn't found the person who suddenly appeared as you said. However, the subordinates of Demon Lord Qianyu have their own plans and are not of one mind. I will find a way to send you a list when the time comes."
Lin Du nodded. It would be strange if he was of one mind.
"Can you help me bring a message?"
"I can try." Zhiling looked at Lin Du's hands that fell casually on the shelf. This man looks ordinary, but his hands are very good.
Slender like jade, with a thin rope on it. It doesn't look like it was sharpened by holding a sword, but it looks like it was held by a pen. I guess he is not a good fighter.
"Tell Hu You to tell him to tell the demon world that the demon king is not in the demon world, but is trapped and unable to show up."
Lin Du added, "Don't worry, this is the real news."
Zhi Ling was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously, "I will, but I may not be in time."
"No hurry." Lin Du smiled.
The chess pieces need to be laid slowly, this is only the second step.
