"look at this."

Xuanyuan Huangdi quietly handed a jade talisman to Li Ping'an with a slightly solemn expression.

The round table filled with delicacies was surrounded by extremely beautiful women. Here were Li Ping'an's beloved wife, teacher, junior uncle, and several concubines from Emperor Xuanyuan's harem.

They were either chatting happily, or eating and drinking.

Li Ping'an and Xuanyuan Huangdi secretly began to talk about business.

——You can’t spoil their interest.

Li Ping'an carefully explored and found that there was no word in the jade talisman. He didn't bother to think about it. He raised his head and stared at Xuanyuan Huangdi with a pair of clear eyes.

Huangdi Xuanyuan conveyed a secret formula and explained: "This is a way to spread secrets and trust. The person who did this method has already gone to your heaven to be the king."

Li Ping'an smiled and said: "He hasn't gone to heaven to report yet. He is traveling in Dongzhou. If you regret it, senior brother, you can go talk to him yourself."

"Don't be joking," Xuanyuan Huangdi said, "see for yourself, this matter may have something to do with the way of heaven."

Li Ping'an recited the formula silently, eliciting a peculiar Taoist rhyme, and lines of small characters suddenly appeared in the jade talisman.

After reading, Li Ping'an looked a little serious and returned the jade talisman to Emperor Xuanyuan.

If the content written in this jade talisman is not false, then this matter is really a big problem.

In the past ten years, a strange disease has appeared in human newborn babies. Some babies will have hair all over their bodies, resembling a throwback to their ancestors, while others will have fine scales growing on parts of their bodies.

Generally speaking, after giving birth to such a strange baby, the common people will brutally kill such a strange baby, which is regarded as an ominous sign.

It was also because there were too many rituals to deal with such babies in the secular world that it attracted the attention of ASEAN and began extensive investigation and attention to this matter.

The ASEAN Immortal Officials didn’t pay much attention at first;

Until recent months, there would be between 300 and 600 babies like this appearing every month in the ordinary people of Dongzhou. Some babies had crocodile-like hard skin on their bodies, and they would be attacked less than half a month after birth.

They will bite any creature that comes close to them.

The ASEAN Immortal Official hurriedly reported it, and both the ASEAN General Association and Xuanyuan Palace conducted an investigation.

Emperor Xuanyuan ordered a thorough investigation of the matter and sent two generals, Feng Boyu and Master Feng, to take full responsibility;

A large number of immortal soldiers have secretly stationed in East Continent, where mortals gather in West Continent, and in just one month, more than 10,000 strange babies have been 'collected'.

The monthly birth population of the East and West continents of the main world has always been maintained at six million to eight million.

In other words, one in 600 babies will have a strange baby, and this ratio is still increasing.

Xuanyuan Huangdi took several experts to secretly conduct an investigation in the Blood Sea. There was nothing unusual in the secret place of the Blood Sea.

"I had no other choice, so I came to you."

Xuanyuan Huangdi asked: "Is there such a situation in Kongmeng Realm?"

Li Ping'an said: "I didn't see the ministers reporting that the number of mortals in the Kongmeng Realm is far less than that of the Lord Heaven and Earth. Maybe the number is too small so the ministers didn't take it seriously. I'll go and inquire."

Li Pingan immediately closed his eyes and concentrated.

In the corner of the main hall of the Heavenly Palace in the Kongmeng Realm, next to the dragon egg that looked like it was carved from white jade, a self-propelled immortal armor dressed in black robes stood up.

The immortal official on duty immediately saluted.

"His Majesty!"

"Well," Li Ping'an's voice came out, "call the counselor of Tongming Hall who is on duty today to come here."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The immortal official lowered his head and left in a hurry.

Not long after, there were seven or eight more figures in the hall, led by Wang Shan and Ye Zisang, and most of the others were young faces.

All the immortals bowed their heads and saluted: "Greetings to Your Majesty."

Li Ping'an controlled the self-propelled immortal armor and briefly talked about the strange baby, but the ministers also didn't know anything about it.

Ye Zisang hurriedly sent people to various government offices to inquire;

Wang Shan muttered for a few times and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, if there are only one or two cases of such strange things happening in various places, it may indeed not attract attention, but if there are more than ten cases, the local government officials will be derelict in their duties if they do not report it.

"Since you promoted household registration in the first batch of Thirty-Six Small Worlds, newborns have been registered in the household. The register can be checked everywhere, and parents can handle it privately. Selling babies is a serious crime. Even if they are adopted by relatives and friends, they must go to the local government offices. , Tiandi Temple to log in.

"If nothing is found like this, it means... this matter may only be in the Lord's heaven and earth."

Li Ping'an said: "Don't be so arbitrary. Wait for the reply first."

An immortal official asked: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with the Lord of Heaven and Earth?"

"This matter should not be made public," Li Ping'an said. "I don't know what kind of evil is causing the trouble. Let's first see if it is only the Lord of Heaven and Earth that has caused such a thing."

All the immortal officials took their orders.

Not long after, Ye Zisang came to report in a hurry:

"Your Majesty! Newborn babies in the Kongmeng Realm do not have such problems. Most areas in the Kongkong Mongolia Realm have responded and no strange babies have been found!"

"Okay, as long as you get a reply, go and get busy."

Li Pingan warned:

"If there is an evil spirit plotting against the human race, its first target will be the main heaven and earth, and its subsequent target will naturally be these small worlds that we have gathered together now.

"Intensify patrols everywhere, and give instructions to all localities. If any abnormalities are found in newborn babies, report them immediately."

"yes!"

All the immortal officials bowed their heads and accepted the order.

Li Ping'an's self-propelled immortal soldier walked back to the corner, closed his eyes and concentrated. The white jade dragon egg emitted a faint light, seeming to convey emotions of joy and respect.

It is not far from being born.

A moment later, in Xuanyuan Palace.

Li Ping'an opened his eyes, shook his head at Huangdi Xuanyuan, and whispered: "It's okay over there."

"That's strange," Emperor Xuanyuan touched his chin and muttered slightly, "What about the way of heaven?"

"I just asked, there is nothing abnormal in the way of heaven."

Li Pingan explained:

"Reincarnation has not yet been established, and Heavenly Dao can only conduct searches by sensing the status of each living being.

"The reply that Tiandao gave me just now is that strange babies just appear in the common world, and the number is indeed increasing.

"Let them eat here, let's go investigate on the spot."

"Okay," Huangdi Xuanyuan stood up directly and said with a smile, "The concubines are entertaining the distinguished guests, and I and the Emperor of Heaven will go to the common people to inspect the people's sentiments."

Gui Lingling immediately put down her chopsticks, filled her mouth with something, and said vaguely: "I want to follow!"

"No need," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "You and Master continue drinking and chatting here, and protect Ning Ning. It will be safe for me and Senior Brother Xuanyuan to travel together."

Xuanyuan Huangdi smiled and said: "My injury has recovered. My cousin is playing here, so don't neglect me, my beloved concubine."

Several gorgeous women stood up to answer.

Li Ping'an sent a message to Dapengniao, asking him to return to the Kongmeng Realm immediately to pick up Houtu.

If it is really a matter of reincarnation, Hou Tu is the real expert.

Huangdi Xuanyuan raised his hand in invitation, and together with Li Ping'an, dressed in casual clothes, they moved to the ordinary place of Dongzhou.

…

The strange baby discovered later was not executed directly, but was gathered together by the immortal soldiers.

The place where Huangdi Xuanyuan took Li Ping'an was a temple of the Emperor of Heaven that housed hundreds of strange babies;

Looking at this magnificent temple and the endless stream of men and women offering incense in front of the main hall, Li Ping'an felt a little strange.

Of course, these are not the focus.

Huangdi Xuanyuan had obviously been here before and was familiar with the way, so he took Li Ping'an to the heavily guarded back hall.

Several of the Human Emperor's personal guards appeared;

The two old golden immortals guarding this place quickly saluted and pushed open the door to the apse.

Li Ping'an immediately frowned.

There are hundreds of wooden cages placed in the hall. The wooden cages exude a faint aroma, which has the effect of calming the mind and calming the nerves.

There was a baby sleeping in each wooden cage. Each baby looked about the size of one or two years old, and these strange babies were obviously born in the past month.

Xuanyuan Huangdi frowned and said, "Why have you grown up again?"

"Your Majesty," an old golden immortal held the jade talisman and said quickly, "Please take a look. This is what I have recorded about the food and growth of these babies in the past seven days. They eat fast and sleep soundly. They can grow an inch taller every day, which is very strange, and the strength of some babies' arms has exceeded that of ordinary adult men."

Xuanyuan Huangdi said: "Wake a few of them up and let His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven take a look."

"yes."
