After listening to the explanations of the three of them, Duan Hongzhu fully understood what was going on. She looked at Lu Xianda, trying to find a strange eye that was as unknown as she was before, but met him with mocking eyes.

She is the only one of all the co-authors who is confused?

Duan Hongzhu puffed out her cheeks sullenly, a peach-like pink face seemed to be happy, pretty and gorgeous, Nangong Yi, who was parallel to her, glanced at it and hurriedly turned away in shame.

In the rear, Lou Xue sighed, and quietly pointed to Nangong Yi and asked Ding Ruoyu, "How old is the child this year?" ”

"Sixteen, seven, eighty, nine?" Ding Ruoyu said.

Lou Xue sighed with a headache: "Little apprentice, your answer is too general. ”

"I don't know him well......," Ding Ruoyu tugged at the reins, embarrassed to look at her.

"Master asks what this is for?" After walking two or three feet away, she looked up again.

"It's a pity." Lou Xue shook her head, looked at the figures of Nangong Yi and Duan Hongzhu in front of her and said, "The woman surnamed Duan is twenty-eight this year, and she is a famous old girl who is older than your master and me." I just saw that the two of them may be a little slight, listening to you, the age difference is too much, and the chance is really slim......"

Ding Ruoyu felt a chill on his body, and wrapped his coat tightly. In addition to playing the piano, singing, and sword dancing, her master's hobby is to be a matchmaker, and she matches people everywhere.

The last time I learned from Youlan that I was engaged, it happened after I met her for the first time. The marriage came so quickly, could it be that she also had a share of the credit for fanning the flames by Lihong's side?

Counting the time, there are still two months and a few days. She rode silently, but her face turned red inexplicably.

They didn't walk fast, and if they had a night's rest, they would see him again tomorrow. Ding Ruoyu was suddenly a little nervous, thinking that the day was getting closer and closer, and he didn't know how to face it for a while.

In the evening, everyone booked a room in the empty inn in the small town, and after resting, the window lattice was gently knocked. Ding Ruoyu came to the window, and the shadow of the visitor was reflected on the window paper. Nangong Yi's voice sounded: "The master asked Miss Li to go back to the training camp by herself after dawn, so she didn't have to go to see him." ”

Ding Ruoyu answered, returned to the bed and sat down, but suddenly couldn't sleep.

You don't have to go to see him...... What exactly does he mean?

The more she thought about it, the more unreasonable she felt, even if she did tasks on weekdays, she had to report to her superiors after they were over, and these cumbersome etiquette was also a kind of cash-out of the leadership of the Witchcraft cult. Doesn't he want to see himself?

She looked at the large package on the table, revealing the corner of the thick leather cloak. He didn't show up when he got off the mission, did something really go wrong......

The more she thought about it, the more she didn't say hello to the others, but went to the backyard stable and led the little red horse to the training camp.

By the time dawn everyone woke up and hit the road, she had already arrived at the entrance of the Demon Suppression Tower.

The four white-clothed girls who were waiting stopped her as usual, but she first tied her horse to the red willow on the side, and then slowly walked towards them, and all of them were knocked out in three or two blows.

Then, he took the fire fold and walked forward along the dark underground corridor. I don't know from which direction a cold wind blew, cold to the bone marrow, Ding Ruoyu was smart, and his arms were crawling with goosebumps.

I've walked through this underground tunnel before, why do you feel so gloomy today? She looked around by the light of the fire, and the frescoes on the walls were the same as before, and she couldn't understand where the strange feeling came from.

As if by some kind of strong traction, she had already passed through the stone room where Lihong worked on weekdays, and kept heading underground, going deeper and deeper like a demon, and the surroundings became more and more cold and lonely, and there was more and more sound of the underground dark river gurgling.

As if she had been through it many times, she went down the river and fell into the abyss of the raging waterfall at the end.

In the underground palace with a faint candle light, Li Hong suddenly woke up from his deep sleep.

He struggled to his feet, tripped over the corner of the table in a panic and fell to the ground, crawled forward more than a foot, and lost consciousness again.

Under the cliff, countless green fireflies flew and scattered, carrying Ding Ruoyu down into the boundless chaotic mist. She was now freed from the irresistible pull and walked slowly through the nothingness where she could see nothing.

The chaotic silence that had occurred countless times during meditation reappeared in front of me at this moment. She found herself covered in a layer of golden light, blocking the invasion of the sinister and damp air currents from the outside world.

In the darkness, a hand was reached out to her.

Ding Ruoyu exhausted his eyesight and saw his face almost exactly the same as Lihong's.

"What is this place?" When she saw that face, she didn't step forward to grab him, but just stood there and asked.

"Netherland." When the man saw her like this, he retracted his hand in amusement, and led the way, "Everything you see next is fake, including me. ”

Ding Ruoyu followed behind him, except for the ground under her feet, she even felt that her body no longer existed.

Li Hong in front of him looked only about seventeen or eighteen years old, barefoot, dirty, wearing a tattered black robe, as if he had just fought with someone.

"Do you know where the exit is?" After walking a long way, she finally said the second sentence.

Being able to tell her that this is an illusion shows that this person is still a little bit credible.

"Come with me, you'll see the exit." The young man glanced back at her, even in such a depressed state, he still had a gentle temperament.

"Lihong," Ding Ruoyu quickened his pace, came to his side, looked up at those unfamiliar eyes and said, "Tell me, do you really know who I am?" ”

Her instincts told her that the person in front of her was not the one she knew, but more like an illusion of him that had happened by chance by some mistake.

"I won't hurt you." The boy stopped and looked at her steadily, his hazy figure as if he was about to merge with the boundless nothingness.

There was a deep but incomprehensible emotion in his eyes that drew her to interpret it, so she involuntarily approached and grabbed his sleeve.

Lihong smiled at her, like a glimmer of light in the chaos, and then grabbed her hand and led her all the way forward.

It was like a desperate escape, and at some point there was a whimpering wind around him, and the wind turned into a terrible ghost cry. Behind them, countless undead ghosts bit and chased each other, and demonic blood splattered everywhere, trying to dye this void red.

"Whoever appears, don't look back." Lihong took her to avoid the aftermath of one battle after another, and a familiar phantom vaguely appeared in front of her.

The surrounding environment has changed subtly, and it is clear that it is in chaos, but snow is drifting. On a snowy night, she saw a gentle and beautiful woman lying on the ground looking ahead, and behind her were several black-clad killers, mercilessly stabbing her into pieces......

As she ran, the scene drew closer and closer to her, and the woman's skull rolled and landed in front of her. Ding Ruoyu felt a dull pain in her heart, her legs were weak, Li Hong put her hand on her shoulder, and rushed over with her.

The soles of their shoes stepped on the shattered corpses, as if they were walking on the ground, and then the phantom array shattered, dissolving into nothingness in a puff of white smoke.

Ding Ruoyu glanced at the other party gratefully, but found that he did not relax, but his face became more cold.

Directly ahead, a snow-white staircase connected to the canopy appeared, emitting a holy white light.

They kept running forward, and they were reaching the clouds along the stairs.

Surrounded by smoke and clouds, like a fairyland, Ding Ruoyu suddenly suffocated, and then saw another self locked by a pure white chain, kneeling in a huge square filled with clouds.

And at the end of the stairs, a young man who broke in and was covered in black smoke left Hong.

He dashed through the guards who stood in his way, snatched a spear, and was about to pick open the chains on his body. At this time, on the ground covered by clouds and mist, the magic circle was activated, and he was firmly bound in an instant.

Hundreds of soldiers appeared in the square, the leader of whom had pure white hair, and with a wave of his hand, a long knife fell from his left shoulder, slashed straight to his heart, and then pulled it out.

The other self kneeling on the ground slowly stood up, ripped off the chains, and looked at him condescendingly with a blank face, as if all this was a deliberate attempt to lure him into the bait......

"This phantom array is really disgusting as always." The palm on his shoulder tightened, and without the slightest hesitation, the two of them ran over quickly, smashing everything to pieces.
