Monster, come to my bowl

Cai Ji made sure that the monsters nearby would not hurt anyone, so he ran straight to the entrance of the castle.

"Who are you looking for?"

As soon as I reached the door, a 'person' blocked my way.

Specifically, a man with a duck's head.

Duck demon?

And he’s at the demon king level?

Cai Ji's face was full of curiosity, and he quickly said, "I'm looking for Grandma Liu."

"She's busy. If you have anything to say, you can tell me first." The duck-headed man put his hands behind his back, posing in a posture commonly seen among human butlers.

"I would like to ask grandma for a favor, but I can only tell her the whole story in private." Cai Ji answered cautiously.

Although the monster in front of him would not hurt anyone, it was not a human after all.

He was afraid of revealing the secret.

"Ha, you're quite good at showing off." The duck-headed man glanced at Cai Ji, turned around and said, "Come in! Find a place to sit in the hall and don't run around! Wait until grandma is done with her work."

"Okay!" Cai Ji nodded and followed him into the gate.

I came to the castle hall and found a chair to sit down.

He discovered that there were not only many monsters in the castle, but also many people coming and going.

These people were of different ages, wearing robes of similar styles, and accompanied by at least one monster. They looked like disciples of a certain sect.

"Xiao Cai, do you need me for something?"

About half an hour later, Grandma Liu finally showed up.

"Hello, Grandma!" Cai Ji bowed and said in a low voice, "Grandma, this matter is very serious. Can we find a quiet place so I can tell you the details."

"Follow me!" Grandma Liu nodded.

A moment later, the two came to a study.

It is called a study, but there are actually only a few books.

The room was filled with various monster specimens and looked like an exhibition room.

The two of them sat down, and Cai Ji directly explained his purpose: "Grandma, I would like to ask you to do me a favor and ask Eunuch Lei to take me to the main city of Dongzhou."

"So that's what happened? It's nothing serious! It's just a piece of cake." Upon hearing this, grandma smiled and asked, "Aren't you from Nanzhou? What are you doing in Dongzhou?"

"Grandma, I've been back to Nanzhou." Upon hearing this, Cai Ji immediately explained, "This time when I returned to Nanzhou, I accidentally discovered a major conspiracy of the demon tribe. They plan to launch a full-scale attack on Zhongzhou in a few months, and have now cut off the secret communication channels between Zhongzhou and the rest of the surrounding areas."

"The demons are going to attack?" Grandma looked surprised.

"That's right! The story begins a few months ago. An ancient demon emperor who was suppressed in Zhongzhou suddenly broke free from the seal. Then the demon clan and the demon moon began to move..." Cai Ji recounted what he knew from beginning to end.

However, he did not explicitly state that he had mastered the Art of the Holy Word.

He had personally witnessed Grandma Liu repel the Demon Emperor and defend Wangbei City, and knew that the old lady's stance was trustworthy, but he still needed to learn more about the old lady's true background.

"Ancient Demon Emperor? No wonder the demons have been behaving strangely in the past few months." Grandma Liu frowned and muttered to herself, "According to the ancient books of my sect, the Ancient Demon Emperor was the first spiritual beast to be bewitched by the Demon Moon. After they betrayed the human race, they were all killed by the nameless saint. I didn't expect that there was still one left?"

"The spiritual beast that guards the world? Wasn't the ancient demon emperor brought by Yaoyue?" Cai Ji asked in great surprise when he heard this.

"No! No! That's just a myth." Grandma Liu shook her head and explained, "Our Yuling Sect has existed for ten thousand years, and we specialize in the art of taming beasts. Our ancestors knew the details of the nine great beasts very well! Those beasts that guard the world were bewitched by the demon moon, and suddenly turned into demon emperors, and then led the army of spirit beasts to attack the human race! The instigator of everything was the demon moon that appeared out of nowhere!"

"An army of spiritual beasts? You are talking about demon beasts, right?" Cai Ji asked.

"They are all the same! In ancient times they were called spirit beasts, and now they are called demon beasts! The difference is that after the appearance of Yaoyue, all spirit beasts in the world have been affected by it, and their hostility towards humans has become greater and greater." Grandma Liu replied.

Are all the monsters in the world indigenous?

Cai Ji was a little bit unbelievable and for the first time he began to doubt the myths and legends.

It seems that the contents recorded in "The Great Nerve" cannot be fully trusted.

He thought for a moment and asked, "If we destroy the Demon Moon fragments, will the demon race give up being an enemy of humans?"

"It's hard to say. They have been affected by the Demon Moon Fragments for tens of thousands of years, and it's hard to change their attitude in a short period of time." Grandma Liu shook her head.

Cai Ji was a little disappointed, and then asked: "Does the Five States Demon Suppression Bureau know what you said?"

"The Demon Suppression Bureau only appeared later. Even if they knew about the history of ten thousand years ago, they would not admit it. Because describing the monsters as outsiders is conducive to uniting the human race and facing foreign enemies in unison." The old lady replied.

"That's right!" Cai Ji agreed deeply, and decisively took out several bronze mirrors that he had prepared long ago, as well as an instruction manual and placed them on the table: "Grandma, this is a magic weapon that can be used for long-distance communication. The specific usage is written on the paper. You keep one for yourself, so that you can contact the Five States Grand God of Life and me at any time. The extra ones can be given to relatives and friends."

"Another magic weapon?" Granny Liu picked up a mirror and couldn't help but joked, "Did you pick it up from the ruins as well?"

"No! It was made by the master who understands the art of holy words. I am responsible for delivering it to those in need. This trip to Dongzhou is to deliver it to the Dongzhou Demon Suppression Bureau." Cai Ji explained seriously.

"What is your relationship with that master?" asked Grandma Liu.

"Hehe." Cai Ji refused to explain with a silly smile.

……

After saying goodbye to Grandma Liu, Cai Ji arrived at the main city of Dongzhou in just half a day.

However, the one who sent him here was not Thunder God, but Ya Qiansui!

Ya Qiansui is the demon king with a duck head.

It is said that it has lived for nearly a thousand years and is several generations older than Grandma Liu.

Cai Ji originally thought that the duck flew very slowly.

But Ya Chitose told him what supersonic speed is!

clang!clang!clang!

When the giant duck flew over Bi Bo City with a sonic boom, alarm bells rang throughout the city.

In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, Ya Qiansui did not land in the city, but directly threw Cai Ji from the sky and flew to the top of the mountain outside the city to wait.

“Slow down… slow down…”

Relying on the Holy Word, Cai Ji slowly descended to the entrance of the hall at the highest point in the city.

Wow!

As soon as he landed, a large group of demon-suppressing guards surrounded him.

"who?"

A general raised a trident and shouted nervously.

"My name is Cai Ji! I am a special envoy sent by the Great God of Life in Zhongzhou. I want to see the Great God of Life in Dongzhou for an important matter!" Cai Ji bowed and stated his identity in a neither arrogant nor humble manner.

"Special envoy from Zhongzhou?" The general frowned and asked, "What happened to that monster just now?"

"That's not a monster, it's the spirit beast raised by Grandma Liu from Nanzhou. You know Grandma Liu, right? If you don't know, your Great God of Destiny must know her." Cai Ji explained and reminded.

"I know Granny Liu." The general's expression relaxed, and then he said in a sad tone: "My brother, you came at the wrong time... The old man Mu Da Siming passed away a few days ago."
