I Can’t Be a Sword God

"It's too late, the evil spirit can't be traced here."

Li Chu followed the traces of the remaining evil spirit, all the way out of the Golden Que Kingdom, and came to the boundless yellow sand, losing his guidance for a while.

Here, the strong wind is blowing, the yellow sand is long, and the ancient and desolate majestic atmosphere is mixed with everything, and the faint evil spirit can no longer be distinguished.

"But it doesn't look like living things can survive here?" Old Du said.

Even monsters need soil to survive. Where there are no creatures, there must be no demons.

"It's not impossible to survive in the desert..." Li Chu looked down at his feet, then up at the sky, "It's just that the creatures here are not so obvious."

"Oh!" Lao Du thumped his hands, "That's right, underground or in the sky! But...where should I find it?"

"You can ask someone." Li Chu said.

"Looking for someone to ask?" Old Du was stunned, not knowing what he meant. Looking around, where did he come from?

Li Chu didn't answer, but waited quietly. After a while, there was a burst of screams above his head.

"There is a monster!" Li Chu's eyes suddenly sharpened, and then he raised his hand and pointed.

Whoosh—

The Chunyang sword was unsheathed in an instant, turned into a flying fire meteor and shot out in the air, passing by in a flash.

The howling in mid-air stopped abruptly, and turned into an exclamation.

"ah--"

Plop!

A huge flying bird was startled and fell to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.

When the smoke cleared, the two of them leaned over, and saw a huge sandpit on the ground, in the pit lay a large bird with a human body and wings, it was an incompletely transformed little demon.

Seeing two people wearing Taoist robes standing at the edge of the pit staring at him, the bird man immediately became terrified, woke up, turned over, and immediately knelt down in the pit.

"You two sages! The little demon didn't intend to offend at all, but just passed by accidentally, was startled by the flying sword of the sage, and fell down accidentally. Disturbing the peace of the two, the little demon deserves death, and please the two Let the little demon go away!" He came up with a burst of begging.

"Please hurry up." Li Chu said: "Actually, I just blocked the way on purpose, and I just wanted to inquire about some things."

"Inquire about something?" Birdman blinked.

Looking at Li Chuyun's indifferent face, and then looking at the sword behind him, he couldn't help feeling a little feathered.

Boy, do you call this inquiring about things? This is clearly an attempted bird kill.

But that sword obviously had a deterrent effect, and Birdman immediately showed a warm smile.

"This Taoist priest, if there is anything you want to know, you can just ask. The little demon must know everything and say everything."

Li Chu nodded and said: "We are newcomers, and some of our companions were captured by monsters. They were taken away by a cloud of black wind from Jinque Kingdom. I followed the monster all the way to this place, and I happened to see you appearing here..."

"The conscience of heaven and earth!" Birdman stood up abruptly, and said loudly: "Master Taoist, arresting people has nothing to do with me at all! I'm just a simple and kind sand sculpture, and it's okay to catch wild rabbits on weekdays." It's rich, but I don't dare to eat people..."

"I know, that demonic aura is different from yours." Li Chudao, "I just want to ask, who are the biggest demon kings with a radius of hundreds of miles."

He thought very clearly that it was not easy for a monster with such courage and cultivation to be able to sneak into the Golden Que Kingdom to absorb living people, at least it had to be at the level of a demon king. And in these hundreds of miles of yellow sand, probably not many demon kings can be raised.

The sand sculpture spirit breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly replied: "The two Taoist priests don't know, the yellow sand with a radius of three hundred miles is the territory of the two demon kings, Golden Hook and Silver Hook, in the Yellow Sand Cave."

Afraid not to go into details, he added: "These two demon kings are both sand scorpion spirits, their cultivation base is tyrannical, and they usually eat countless people. If you lose someone around here, you can definitely look for them."

"Golden hook, silver hook..." Li Chu murmured: "We must find the master as soon as possible. Now they don't know what they are suffering. If it is too late, it will be unimaginable."

When mentioning the fact that Master was suffering, Lao Du's ears twitched suddenly, as if recalling some miserable past...

He couldn't help scratching his head, and whispered: "Are you suffering? Not necessarily..."

...

"Bao, you must have had a hard time during the years you left me, right?"

Yu Qi'an held Empress Mingyan's hand, sat with her on the dragon chair in the inner hall of the palace, and asked in a gentle voice.

"Baby, it's actually okay, apart from the heart-wrenching longing, there is nothing more painful." Empress Mingyan replied.

"Baby, tell me how you have lived these years." Yu Qi'an said.

"Baby, thanks to the jade pendant you left me back then." Empress Mingyan took out a warm jade tablet from her bosom.

"Because it was the token of love you gave me, so I always carry it with me. I never thought that since then, my practice will be twice the result with half the effort, and I will become the most talented female cultivator in the Golden Que Kingdom. That's why I was seen by the king. I was selected to enter the palace to become the queen. After a few years, a senior expert told me that this piece is the legendary Tianxin Jade, which is a priceless treasure that does not exceed three pieces in the world. Become a wizard of the world... At that moment, I realized that you loved me so much back then that you could even give me such a precious thing."

"Bao, there is no distinction between us. I even gave you my whole heart, nothing is more precious than this." Yu Qi'an shook his head indifferently without even looking at the jade pendant.

"Bao, is that so? Do you still keep the token of love I gave you?" Queen Mingyan asked.

"Bao, it's natural. I'm free to play with it now. I miss you, my beloved." Yu Qi'an said.

"Baby, isn't the token I gave you a little rabbit? After so many years, it's still alive?" Empress Mingyan wondered.

"Baby, it's a rabbit... That's right!" Yu Qi'an turned his gaze, and said, "I found a companion for it, and I planted a lot of little rabbits, generation after generation, what I'm playing with now...is already it I think we can’t stay together forever, it’s better to let it replace our happiness.”

"Baby, you really love me." Empress Mingyan burst into tears.

"..."

Your Highness, the little koi has fallen asleep sitting up.

Wang Longqi supported his eyelids with his hands, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and his eyes were dark circles, but he still listened to the conversation without saying a word, for fear of missing some knowledge points.

The admiration for Yu Qi'an in his heart is already overflowing.

The old Taoist can actually maintain the output of love words all night without slack at all, he is really a role model for my generation. If I change myself, I can persist in the first half of the night, but I will probably show fatigue in the second half of the night.

Just as he was studying, someone from the palace over there came forward and said, "Empress, my lord, please see me."

"It's really annoying..." Empress Mingyan turned her head and said, "Baby, wait a moment, I'll go and deal with things, and then I'll come to you."

"Baby, I'll wait for you for the rest of my life."

...

Daoist Xie Ding, who hadn't slept all night and was extremely haggard, looked at Empress Mingyan who had also been up all night but was radiant, and couldn't help showing a wry smile.

He hurriedly said: "Queen, don't forget, those two people are with the koi. If we want to put the koi into the luck gold pool, we have to deal with them."

"That's right, I've thought about this question too." Empress Mingyan said calmly, "So I decided not to have this koi."

"Empress!" Daoist Xie Ding said urgently, "State affairs are the most important thing, Empress."

"I have my own worries, don't bring this matter up again, I don't care about it with you, I have already worked hard at the National Teacher for these years." Empress Mingyan frowned slightly.

After a pause, she continued: "Besides, from now on, if there is nothing to do, just let the apprentice pass on the message. You don't need to come to the palace to find me... I'm afraid he might misunderstand."

"Clam?"

Master Xie Ding's body trembled, he felt the sweltering heat and cold wind blowing in June, a basin of ice water was poured down the back of his spine along his bald head, the chill was piercing to the bones.

He was so distraught that he didn't know how to get out of the gate of the main hall, and then he came back to his senses.

It was as if the world was collapsing, with goose feathers falling, snowflakes fluttering, and the north wind whistling...

He looked up at the sky and cried out in despair, "No—"
