The Great Elder nodded slightly, ordered the boy outside the cave to fetch a picture album, handed it to Shang Lixing, and signaled him to open it.

Shang Lixing opened the album in his hand and read page by page.This album contains portraits of every demon king and queen, with exquisite strokes and lifelike strokes. When turning to the last page of portraits, Shang Lixing said, "It really is."

It turned out that the portrait of the previous Demon King and Demon Queen was painted in the album, and the former Demon Queen's appearance was beautiful and fair, with sculpted eyebrows and handsome eyes, she was seven or eight times similar to Xie Liuchen.

He closed the portrait and said: "I've been thinking about this for a while, why Junior Brother Xie was taken to Xiya Mountain unscathed, why Junior Brother Xie looks so similar to the Great Demon King, because they are They are real brothers and sisters of the same mother."

The Great Elder nodded and said: "Their siblings all inherited the appearance of the previous Demon Empress, otherwise, it would be impossible for Yuan Sang to recognize his origin the first time he saw him."

Shang Lixing paused, and said: "Back then, the monster race escaped the world, and only Nan Xing carried a dying child to Nanling. I guess that child was seriously injured when he was born. Nan Xing struggled to find a cure for him. Later, Junior Brother Xie told me that the person who raised him was also called Nan Xing, so I wondered if he might be the child Nan Xing held in his arms."

The Great Elder sighed: "It's right that they didn't come back, the clan was too chaotic at that time!"

Shang Lixing said: "Then, in order to understand the mystery, Junior Brother Xie and I went to Fenglinchuan that night, and got guidance from a senior named Kunshan Lao Nu, who guided us to read two memories, one was Nan Xing The memory of breaking with Wu Nian is a scene of Nan Xing and Junior Brother Xie in the mortal world."

The Great Elder suddenly said: "So they hid in the mortal world, no wonder they couldn't be found for so many years."

Shang Lixing nodded, and continued: "These are not difficult to guess. The only thing that bothers me is why Nan Xing came to Qiushuimen with a child 300 years ago, and Junior Brother Xie is only 17 years old. It can't be explained."

He was silent for a while, and said: "I was only guessing about 300% of the time, but one day, I remembered the method of traveling through space recorded in the Yaozu classics, and before Nan Xing left, he asked me about the Weitian Pillar , I boldly predicted that Nanxing would ascend the Pillar of Weitian and change the order of time and space, [-] years later.”

"That's right, you guessed it right. There are relevant classics in our demon clan, and you can travel through infinite space by climbing the pillar of heaven," said the elder, "The demon queen gave birth to a son before she died, and it was the The child who was taken away by Nan Xing is also the real king of our demon clan. It is a pity that this old man does not know why Nan Xing brought the child to 300 years later."

"This is the second purpose of Shang's coming here today." Shang Lixing slowly got up, took out the things in his arms, and said, "This is the astrolabe left by Master Wu Nian back then, and it has become an unsolved problem." Mystery, Nan Xing also saw this object and had a dispute with Wu Nian, so he decided to travel through time and space."

The Great Elder looked up in surprise, took the reprinted version of the astrolabe ruins from him, carefully identified the astrolabe track on it, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that this old man can't understand the astrolabe. , I can’t help Shang sect master.”

Shang Lixing took back the copy of the astrolabe and asked: "Is there anyone in the monster clan who can understand the astrolabe?"

The Great Elder shook his head and said, "I disappointed the owner of Shangmen, no."

Shang Lixing came here today, one is for the matter of Xie Liuchen's life experience, and the other is to solve the mystery of the Wunian astrolabe, the first one has already got the answer, but the second one is still unable to do anything, so it has to be done lightly Sighing, he said: "Since that's the case, the purpose of Shang's coming here has been achieved, so it's not appropriate to stay any longer."

Seeing that he was about to leave, the Great Elder said, "Master Shang is leaving now? Why don't you wait for my king to come back—"

Shang Lixing waved his hand and said: "No need, Shang has other important things to attend to, so there is no delay, Great Elder, please."

The Great Elder nodded and said: "It seems that the beautiful scenery of Xiya Mountain can't keep the merchant's hurrying pace."

Shang Lixing said: "Shang has already guessed about Junior Brother Xie's life experience, and he came here this time just to verify his guess. Now that he has got the answer, there is no need to say more." He stopped talking, and asked, "Is there anything the Great Elder wants to say?"

The Great Elder hesitated for a moment, and said: "I only hope that the head of the Shang family can help our family find this child."

"Okay," Shang Lixing bowed his hands and said solemnly: "When Junior Brother Xie returns to Nanling, Shang will let him go back to Xiya Mountain and tell him everything, but when the time comes, he will choose Xiya Mountain. Or Nanling, that's Junior Brother Xie's choice."

"It's work."

The Great Elder knew that he felt uncomfortable staying in Xiya Mountain, so he didn't want to stay for a long time, and he didn't want to keep him, so he ordered Yuan Sang to come to the entrance of the cave and take Shang Lixing down the mountain.

Yuan Sang came quickly, took Shang Lixing down to Wangtianya in the night, and got into the treasure car just now.

In the car, the two sat silently.Shang Lixing confirmed Xie Liuchen's origin, but he couldn't relax at all. He was eager to know what shocking secret was hidden on the astrolabe, which forced Nan Xing to abandon his relationship with Wu Nian, and went his own way 300 years later. , And why have you stayed in Zhoujia Village?

He pondered over this matter, quietly not speaking.Yuan Sang didn't know why, but kept silent.

When the chariots and horses pass through the sea of ​​clouds, halfway through, a bright moon quietly hangs in the sky in the night sky.A faint candle was lit in the car, Yuan Sang looked at Shang Li Xingyin's sad and joyless face in the candlelight, and suddenly said with a smile: "Master Shang still remembers the thing that Yuan Sang teased you just now?"

Shang Lixing came back to his senses, and shook his head firmly: "No."

"You said no, I don't think so," Yuan Sang smiled, but he couldn't see it, and said: "You humans are always so duplicity, you have led my little master into ruin."

Hearing what he said, Shang Lixing knew that he was targeting him again, but in his opinion, Yuan Sang's move was extremely naive, so he smiled lightly and ignored it.

Yuan Sang said: "My little master will inherit the position of the demon king in the future, and he will not be able to get along with the human race." After learning that Xie Liuchen is the real demon king's youngest son, he has a feeling of protecting the master, and he says "my little one" Master" yelled loudly.

Shang Lixing couldn't help but sneered and said, "You said that your heart is the main thing. You have called Jing Feng the demon king for more than 300 years. In the end, don't you still treat people as pawns that can be discarded at any time?"

Yuan Sang suppressed his smile, and said coldly: "A counterfeit is not worthy of Yuan Sang's allegiance. He is delusional about the military power of the demon king all day long. He deserves to die! If there were no subordinates in the clan at that time, Yuan Sang would have killed the real one. The demon king welcomes you into Xiya Mountain!"

Hearing his fierce tone, Shang Lixing thought to himself that the monster clan is also in a mess, and Junior Brother Xie might not be able to take on the big responsibility alone, so he said slowly: "I said before, if he doesn't want to stay in Xiya Mountain, you can't force him .”

Yuan Sang said with deep meaning: "You care deeply about him, the relationship is truly extraordinary."

Shang Lixing shook his head: "No matter what kind of relationship I have with Junior Brother Xie, I will always stand by his side."

Yuan Sang said: "This is an internal matter of our Yaozu. It seems that the owner of the Shangmen has no right to ask about it?"

Shang Lixing shook his head slowly: "I will support what Junior Brother Xie wants to do."

On the way to Xiya Mountain just now, Yuan Sang saw that Xie Liuchen's tone was different when he mentioned Xie Liuchen, and he guessed the relationship between the two of them, and said: "Master Shang, my little master is young and inexperienced, according to him now At the age of sixteen or seventeen, maybe it was just a momentary infatuation, but when he inherits the position of Demon King and leads the people in the future, do you think he will still rely on you like he is now?"

Seeing that Shang Lixing was silent, he smiled coldly and said: "The head of the Shang family has lived for more than three hundred years in vain, but led my little master astray, ha ha..."

Knowing that the dispute with him was fruitless, Shang Lixing said indifferently: "Whatever you say." He couldn't help but think in his heart: "The only plan for now is to find Junior Brother Xie first, otherwise, according to the strength and power of the Great Demon King Yuan Sang's harshness, I'm afraid Junior Brother Xie won't be free when he returns to Xiya Mountain."

After a while, the treasure car stepped on the solid ground again and stopped, Yuan Sang said: "Master Shang, we are here."

Shang Lixing was a little puzzled: "This is it?" But facing Yuan Sang's stinky face, he really didn't want to stay any longer, and immediately said: "Thank you."

Open the curtain of the car, jump out of the car, a cool breeze blows in front of you, and you feel a burst of relief.

The people in the car didn't get down, but just left a sentence: "Master of Shangmen, don't forget Yuan Sang's kind persuasion!" Then he ordered the treasure car to set off and go back to Xiya Mountain.

Shang Lixing smiled helplessly, and looked around, only to find that he was standing alone in a wilderness on the outskirts of a mountain.

Yuan Sang actually brought him to the mortal world.

After thinking about it for a while, he understood Yuan Sang's intentions. It must be that this person had a bad conversation with him, so he simply didn't send him to the end, but sent him back to the mortal world, and let him walk back to Qiushuimen by himself.

Shang Lixing said in his heart: "This person is really naive." Fang took a few steps and suddenly stopped.When Nan Xing left Qiushuimen with his newly born Junior Brother Xie, he didn't go back to Xiya Mountain, but went to a place called Zhoujia Village in the mortal world.

What is so special about Zhoujia Village that would make Nan Xing travel through time and space for 300 years, just to stay there for six years?

The beast king escaped from Huanggu, why did he also happen to go to Zhoujia Village?

What secrets does Zhoujiacun have?

Now, do you want to drop by to check?

Thinking like this, he turned around and set foot in the direction of Zhoujia Village.

Zhoujia Village is not far from here, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to walk slowly to meet the moonlight.

There are no more than a hundred households in the village here, the mountain houses have black walls and gray tiles, and there are countless piles of firewood piled up in front of and behind the walls. The people in the mountain village have already fallen asleep, and everything is silent.

He was standing at the entrance of the village, planning to go into the mountain village for a look, but suddenly received a hasty message from Qiushuimen, it was Bai Xuan's scrawled handwriting: "Master, there is an urgent matter at the gate, hurry back!"
