Ming Dynasty Emperor System

The wind roared in the heaven, and after a pause, it disappeared into the silence.

Zhu Houzhao spread his hands, and a ball of chaotic energy emerged from each palm. After a period of distortion and change, he condensed a jade order engraved with the word "Zhu". Judging from the style and appearance, it was obviously an imitation of Taishang. The "Tai Shang" jade order that Lao Jun left for him.

"Go on." Zhu Houzhao threw two jade orders with the word "Zhu" in each hand to the Jin Ling boy and the Yin Ling boy, and said with a serious face:

"Trouble will arise, war will continue to spread, and heaven is not an absolutely safe place! When Taishang Laojun is not around, it is best for you two to stay in the Eight Views Palace and do not go out at will. If you encounter a life-threatening situation, please Crush this jade order!"

The boy Jin Ling put away the jade order solemnly, but the boy Yin Ling held the jade order in his hands and stared at Zhu Houzhao with tears in his eyes.

The mysterious big brother in front of them helped them through the crisis of the Silver Furnace Explosive Pill without expecting anything in return. He also taught them many principles of life and treated them with an extremely kind attitude.

Unknowingly, Yin Ling Boy has developed a sense of dependence on this interesting big brother. Now that he has explained everything and given him a life-saving treasure, he obviously has the intention to leave. Yin Ling Boy is not happy. He gave up, but still asked in a hesitant voice:

"Shangxian, are you... leaving again?"

"Didn't I tell you that men don't shed tears easily? Don't cry." Zhu Houzhao stroked Yin Lingtong's little head, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, bent down, and pressed his shoulders with both hands. , said comfortingly:

"I still have a lot of things that I have to deal with personally. Don't worry, I will come back to see you soon. When the time comes, I will definitely bring you some delicious food from the human world to try, and then I will tell you about it. How about the interesting things happening in the human world?"

The Yinling boy swallowed the reluctance in his heart, wiped his eyes vigorously, looked directly into Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and sobbed:

"Shangxian... you promise... promise to come back safely!"

"I promise, I will come back safely!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled, took one last look at the innocent Silver Spirit boy, waved to the Golden Spirit boy, turned around and turned into misty smoke, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

As soon as Zhu Houzhao left, the Yinling boy couldn't restrain his emotions and burst into tears.

Jin Lingtong frowned tightly, looking thoughtfully at the lingering trace of smoke not far away in front of him.

……

Time goes back to the present.

After Zhu Houzhao left the Bajing Palace, he used the three golden balls of light and the energy of chaos laid out for him by Taishang Laojun to use his magical powers to completely conceal his own energy. After ensuring that he would not be noticed by Yuanshi Tianzun, he broke through directly. The barrier of heaven has come to the human world.

After traveling through the void and standing in the Shili Demon Kingdom's territory, which was littered with corpses and looked like an Shura field, Zhu Houzhao looked at the scene in front of him and remained silent for a long time.

The result he finally deduced was actually very vague, but one thing is certain. The blood of Xuanming does exist in the lower world, but it is not hidden in one place. Instead, for unknown reasons, it has become invisible. Bloodline is inherited by others.

Zhu Houzhao deduced again based on the clue of hidden bloodline, and finally three paintings emerged in his mind.

In the first painting, the background is a huge monster cave. Inside the monster cave is a group of tiger monsters with frightened expressions. Outside the monster cave is a circle of monsters of different shapes. The leader is a monster king with a sculptured head and body. , with an arrogant demeanor and looking very domineering.

The tone of the entire picture is very gloomy, and the sky at the top is also covered in blood red. This scene seems to be describing the scene before a battle between demon clan forces. The tiger demons in the demon cave should have their heads carved outside. Surrounded and suppressed by the forces of the human demon king.

In the second painting, the background is a forest with countless giant trees. Thousands of stone spirits are distributed in every corner of the forest. They look like they are aloof from the world and very peaceful. The only thing that is different from this atmosphere. Harmonious things, at the entrance to the forest,

There was a middle-aged stone spirit who was greenish-gray in color and was mostly in human form. He was carrying a bloody tiger demon cub on his back. Judging from his posture, he was about to enter.At the top of the picture, the sky has lost its blood color, but it is shrouded in darkness.

The tone of the entire picture is green, which gives people a sense of vitality at first glance. However, if you look closely, against the green tone, the black screen and the blood of the tiger monster cub appear particularly bright in the picture. It's dazzling, as if it's a metaphor for something.

In the third painting, the background is a palace with thick bushes. From the towering trees looming behind it, it can be seen that this is the forest where the Stone Spirit tribe lives in the second painting.The old stone spirit, the little tiger monster, and the young stone spirit stand on the top of the cliff.

The old man Shi Jing was leaning on a cane and his body was stooped.The stone spirit boy squatted on the ground, supporting his chin with his hands, his expression full of longing.The little tiger demon stretched out his left hand and pointed to the west, with a twisted and ferocious expression, and his eyes were filled with hatred!

Judging from the composition of the entire picture, the old stone elf on crutches and the little tiger demon with a twisted and ferocious expression should be the middle-aged stone elf and the bloody tiger demon in the second painting. bastard!This means the passage of time.

Creatures like spirits are rather strange. Most of them have experienced countless years of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. By chance, they developed spiritual wisdom and began to practice.But their lifespan is much shorter than that of monsters and monsters, and their realm has little impact on them.

This is extremely unfair to the spirits, because they have spent tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. After surviving for so many years, after giving birth to spiritual wisdom, their lifespan is limited. Just like before, he inherited the natural longevity.

Taking the stone spirits as an example, unless they are promoted to the Daluo realm, their lifespan varies depending on the level of the realm, and usually only hovers around one thousand to three thousand years old.

Calculated in this way, the time difference between the two paintings can be roughly judged from the age of the old man Shi Jing. From middle age to old age, at least 500 years have passed.

The tiger demon cub grows into a ferocious little tiger demon, which is also in line with the growth pattern of the demon clan. In 500 years, the little tiger demon is probably still in its juvenile stage.

The three paintings deduced seem to be telling a story, and the context of the story is actually very clear. Zhu Houzhao can completely guess through the paintings that the protagonist of the story must be that person without having to deduce it again. Little tiger demon!
