my demon

Satisfied with the allegiance of Duke An, Xiao Yan took off his clothes slowly in the dormitory and said, "Sure enough, he is an old fox from three dynasties. Although he knows that he must have other backhands, this posture is very comfortable." Some sweetness, Xiao Yan thought in his heart.

The Lich said after a while: "It is indeed a help to you. I can clearly feel that the dragon aura on your body is more mellow." , holding a lot of power in his hands.

And Xiao Yan has someone to follow, obviously the luck that belongs to the king is stronger.

Xiao Yan lay down, covered the brocade quilt neatly, but held the soul box and asked: "Is there any of your things in the secret room I discovered at that time?"

The Lich said: "No, my soul body was caught in the turbulence of time and space, and I fell into a deep sleep for a long time."

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, let me do something with the things in the secret room."

The Lich didn't ask, a little emperor wanted to recruit people, so when he needed money, the secret room was obviously the inheritance left by the previous emperor, and he deserved it.He didn't take any money before, but only took away the soul box. He was neither confused by the sudden wealth nor panicked by the unreasonable ghosts. He was never arrogant or rash, rational and cautious. Tell the little emperor why he came here.

He is not short of ordinary people's money. The little emperor also saw him take out a bag of gold and silver coins easily before, but he just had someone buy a house and put it in his name.Now if you want to use the money in the secret room, it will naturally have other uses. Although the emperor is young, he is far-sighted, thoughtful, and has his own plans. He doesn't ask too much.

Lich was very quiet most of the time, Xiao Yan didn't know what Lich was thinking, felt at ease touching the soul box, and quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Spring rain began to patter outside the window.

The lich turned into a glimmering firefly, flew out slowly, and wandered to the back garden.

In the imperial garden in early spring, the vegetation was not flourishing, and it was very quiet in the cold rain, only the slightest raindrops fell on the rustling leaves, the sky was thick with clouds, the moon and stars could not be seen, there was no gleam of light, and the eyes of the five fingers could not be seen. The night is like the kingdom of the underworld.

Under a bush, a little black cat that has not been weaned somehow left its mother cat and was dying. The black cat lay wet and dirty in the mud, its fur was cracked and split, as if it had been killed by something. People brutally cut and beat with sharp weapons.

It was already dying, but for some reason, it seemed to know that there was some huge and terrifying existence approaching, so it tried to open its eyes and stared at the void. Its eyes have been gouged out, leaving only two blood holes, but it seems to be able to Saw the general gaze in the direction of the lich.

The black cat is psychic, and it seems that in this world of low demons, he is also more sensitive than ordinary creatures. Even the resentment before death can be summoned to him.

The lich's pale soul hangs in the thousands of rain lines, and he lowers his head and asks it: "Will you be my slave? Soul and body, dedicate everything to me, work for me, and enshrine me with your hatred and cruelty." .”

The black cat meowed softly.

The Lich stared at it for a while, stretched out his bony index finger, the black cat opened its mouth, and weakly licked the pale bony finger with its tiny tongue.

In the cold rainy night, a talisman as pale as a will-o'-the-wisp flickered for a moment in the imperial garden, and the contract was fulfilled.

The little milk cat, no bigger than a fist, is like a mass of black smoke in the darkness, scurrying across the ocher railings, jumping over the corner of the eaves, its four claws are like ice, walking on frost and snow, running too fast, only seeing the ice A strip of white light passed by.In the eye hole are two clusters of quiet green fires flickering, bright as if filled with hatred.

"Go, take your resentment and hatred, and go for fear, that is the most delicious food for undead souls... You are——Soul Eater."

"I give you the skills of sneaking, screaming, and soul devouring. Soul screaming is your specialty, and frost claws are the weapons I give you. Go and dedicate the most delicious food to your master."

"I am the lord of the dead, your lord."

The spring rain fell until midnight, and the thick clouds in the sky were finally blown away by the wind, revealing a faint starlight.

And somewhere deep in the palace, there was a terrified wail.

And it was too far away from the palace where the nobleman lived, so it didn't disturb the nobleman.

In the imperial garden, the Lich was sitting on a rock, under the light of the stars, all he could see was under the hood of the mage's robe, the Lich's brows were calm, motionless, quiet and beautiful.The black cat rushed over like a wisp of light smoke, stopped at his feet, lowered its head and spit out a gemstone in its mouth at his feet, and circled around his feet flatteringly, meowing. Made a sound, as if to please.

The Lich looked down at him, with his bony hand hanging down, picked up the crystal clear bright red gem, pinched it between his fingers and looked at it: "The color is not bad, it seems to have done a lot of evil, full of so much hostility."

The black cat sat obediently, and shook its smoky tail: meow, meow.

The Lich held the gemstone in his palm, and the gemstone turned into a wisp of smoke and sank into the soul body. Although it was a drop in the bucket, the advantage was that he didn't have to do it himself.

The Lich sighed, thinking back then he could create the Netherworld Realm and create thousands of undead soul soldiers with a wave of his hand, but now there is only such a little kitten loyal to him, he stretched out his bone and pointed at the black cat, the black cat meowed He rolled over on the spot, turning out his fluffy, soft and smoky belly, making a snoring sound.

The Lich glanced at the horizon: "Go and play by yourself, don't hurt anyone's life."

The black cat meowed obediently, and the black shadow leaped into the void like a cloud, and quickly merged into the pitch-black dawn darkness.

On the second day, Xiao Yan got up on time. Today is not the morning sun, but he wakes up at this time every day to go to the study to listen to the lectures of the great scholars.

However, he saw that several deacons and servants who were waiting on the crown robes and shoes all looked panic-stricken, so Xiao Yan asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Although he was young, he was always majestic and graceful, so the servants did not dare to hide it from him. After all, such a horrific case happened in the palace, so it cannot be hidden.

He Chang'an said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is an servant serving Concubine Li in the West Palace. Last night, for some reason, his eyes were gouged out by a sharp weapon, and he howled unceasingly. When we arrive, we will go to the Cifu Hall early in the morning to ask the Empress Dowager to invite Master Pujue to enter the palace to recite scriptures."

Xiao Yan was a little surprised: "Did the queen mother be frightened? Has the imperial doctor been informed? Has the Ministry of Punishment been informed to come in and investigate the scene? This matter is closed to the palace, and nothing can be missed."

He Chang'an said: "Don't worry, the emperor, the West Palace is remote, and no one was disturbed, and there was a palace ban. Concubine Li was terrified, and she didn't dare to sleep all night, but she didn't dare to disturb the empress dowager and the emperor. The man bandaged the injured man reluctantly and comforted him so that he would not run away. The empress dowager heard about it early in the morning, and immediately passed on the news to Prince Duan and Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. As soon as the palace gate opened, they went in to investigate, but last night it was most of the night It was raining, but the house was very dry, except for the eunuch Hou San's own blood and footprints, no suspicious traces were seen."

Xiao Yan brought the bird's nest porridge, took a few sips from the silver spoon, "Could it be that an acquaintance is revenge?"

He Chang'an only said: "This will have to wait for the adults of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate the case. It's just that the Empress Dowager has passed on a message that the palace guards must be strengthened in the past few days, and the emperor must not leave people for a moment."

Do not leave people?He just built a house outside... Xiao Yan was a little unhappy in his heart, but his face was still calm: "The queen mother also needs to strengthen the palace guards. Since she is serving in the West Palace, she wants to come to the palace. It's been a while since I've been serving you, I'm afraid I offended someone in the past."

Next to him, a servant named Baxi was serving tea and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is wise, then the third little Hou heard that his hands are hot. People often see him killing cats, hanging dogs and gouging out his eyes in private in his yard." It's just that Concubine Li reused him for fun, and it's not a big problem for others to see. No one dares to say it on weekdays. Now we all say in private that he might not be possessed by evil spirits. He was killed by those cruel and murderous dirty things go."

He Changan quickly scolded: "You know so much! What are you talking about in front of the emperor! There is no basis for hearsay."

Baxi laughed, knowing that Xiao Yan had been treating Kuanren all along, so he wasn't too nervous: "I'm not talking nonsense, there are still peeled skins hanging on the trees in his yard, bloody and scary, I have a fellow Those who entered the palace with him are now also serving in the West Palace, and they all say that he has suffered retribution. During the day, they saw him dragging a nursing cat away from the kitchen for no reason, and they all knew about him. There must be no return in the hand."

Xiao Yan's face darkened: "Beasts also have spirits. Doing such cruel things will harm the peace of heaven. Orders are sent to the Department of Internal Affairs to strictly investigate the maids in the house. If such people do such evil things again, they will be severely punished and expelled from the palace. Go, don't stay in the palace. Then Hou San, let the supervisor of ceremonies arrange to move out of the palace, and the Ministry of punishment will arrange someone to guard and interrogate."

He Chang'an hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise, I will pass on the emperor's oral instructions when I am young."

Xiao Yan adjusted the sleeves of his robe: "Since there is such a bloody case in the palace, I am afraid that the queen mother will be frightened, so I will go to ask the queen mother, and go to the study to ask for a leave of absence for me first." Asking the queen mother is the emperor's filial piety, not to mention With such an important matter in the palace, He Chang'an naturally knew that the Taifu would not dare to say anything, so he quickly agreed to send someone to go to the study to pass the word and not mention it.

Inside the Cifu Palace, Empress Dowager Sun really looked uneasy, while Concubine Li sat on the side with her head down and wiped her tears, her eyes were red.

Empress Dowager Sun saw Xiao Yan coming in, so she ordered someone to watch the seat: "The emperor sits down, this matter is due to the fact that Concubine Li is not strict with her command, and the evil force feedback, Ai's family has passed the news that Pu Jue Guoshi will enter the palace quickly, and do it in a while." For this religious matter, the palace needs to be well organized. Aijia always eats fast and recites Buddha, who would have thought that there would be such villains in the palace! Although evil is rewarded with evil, after all, Aijia feels uneasy..."

Just as he was talking, he saw another message from outside, Prince Duan Xiao Ji begging to see him.

The Empress Dowager Sun ordered someone to hear it, and said to Xiao Yan: "The emperor is too big. Naturally, the emperor should know about such a big case in the palace. When Ai's family heard about it in the morning, they ordered King Duan to enter the palace. The Ministry of Punishment must bring this case to a close trial, and these days around the emperor should not be ignored, and we must not leave him alone."

Xiao Yan agreed, but saw that Xiao Ji had strode in. He was about forty years old, and he was very tall. Because he was the assistant prince, the royal clothes had five-clawed dragons embroidered on his shoulders. The dragon walks with a tiger's pace, awe-inspiring, and the dragon on the shoulders is just like flying into the clouds.
