Chapter 154: West Mountain
With that explosion, the enchantment in the room disappeared in an instant.
The winter night was silent and long, and there was still an hour before dawn. Sui Han didn't want to rest anymore, pinched the branch that had turned back into an ordinary plum blossom, and thought about how to stop Ding Ruoyu later.
The thought of everything that had been said to her as it was flashed in his mind, he was not good at deceiving others, but he also knew that this situation was serious, and it was too dangerous for Ding Ruoyu to participate in it with his meager ability at the moment.
As soon as I thought that she and the floating boat belonged to the same origin, Sui Han's head grew, this is never a foolish master. Even if this girl is only fifteen or sixteen years old, you can't treat her like a child.
It wasn't until noon that he came to the bottom floor to wait for Ding Ruoyu to come out, but he didn't expect her to say that she had something to do and left.
An hour later, she came back again, changed out of the flower cotton jacket that made people look very uncomfortable, dressed like a normal child of the rivers and lakes, and equipped with a sword at her waist.
As soon as she entered the building, she walked towards the copper tripod, took out a simple bound booklet from her arms, adjusted the position one by one against the copper bars in the tripod, and finally took out a small demon crystal nucleus and put it in the core position of the mechanism.
The teenagers watched her jump up and down for a long time, and no one dared to come forward to disturb her. Sui Han waited patiently for her to finish fiddling, and then introduced the use of this artifact to detect demons, and then found an opportunity to pull her to the open space outside the building.
"I'm guessing you've also thought that the Ghost Slayer, Duan Lianggong and others dealing with the young dead have something to do with the group of demons in Xishan." He first found an entry point and said slowly.
Ding Ruoyu nodded and said to him, "If you go, you will figure out the connection between the two." ”
"Don't go, those people are dangerous." Sui Han finally decided to dissuade him in the most straightforward way.
In the fine snow, Ding Ruoyu wrapped the cloak on his body tightly and lowered his eyes silently.
She was waiting for a reason to convince herself.
has known the floating boat for thousands of years, and Sui Han can understand the meaning of her every move. He secretly apologized to Lihong in his heart, took out the plum branch in his arms and handed it to her.
"It's Lihong, he left a message and asked you not to go." Instead of racking your brains to find an excuse, tell her the truth.
Ding Ruoyu pinched the flower branch that was shaped by magic like porcelain and would not wither, and said in a low voice: "He promised me to find a beautiful red plum to insert in the bottle, and he really did it......"
There was no emotion on her face, her eyelashes drooped, and she couldn't guess what she really thought in her heart. Sui Han thought that she was persuaded, and the two of them went into the building one after the other to avoid the wind and snow outside.
Someone lit a brazier on the ground floor, and everyone sat around in twos and threes to roast the fire, Ding Ruoyu spread out his hands, and suddenly tilted his head and said to Sui Han: "Ah Lan and Cunxin are still in Caihua Building, if those people come to the door, I don't know if Master can handle it?" ”
"It's about enough to deal with...... "Sui Han almost shook out what Lihong told him the night before.
Ding Ruoyu turned his face and remained silent again, his delicate but indifferent eyebrows and eyes became so incomprehensible again.
On the side of a step in the corner of the wall, Yu Feiqiong put one arm on her lap and looked at her from afar, and in a trance, her quiet appearance overlapped with another girl in his memory, stabbing his eyes sour.
Ding Ruoyu didn't seem to notice his gaze at all, didn't sit for a while, stood up, turned around and went back to the room, and slammed the door coldly, ignoring no one.
This casual move broke Yu Feiqiong's sorrow.
A nameless fire rose in his heart again.
If you really hate a person, even if it is a word or deed that has nothing to do with you, it will be unpleasant.
This made him a married woman with a lot of money, and he had a brain cramp to compare her to another of the best girls in the world.
The snow outside the abandoned building became heavier and heavier, like a heavy white felt, covering the noise of the teenagers in the building.
The next day was peaceful, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when the demons of the West Mountain agreed to meet Ding Ruoyu.
The sky was slightly bright, and the building was silent, and Sui Han was the first to get up and come to the ground floor, waiting for everyone to come out for breakfast one by one.
When it was time to arrive, almost everyone went downstairs, but Ding Ruoyu was the only one to go out. Puzzled, he hurried to her door, but did not answer even a few knocks.
The uneasiness in Sui Han's heart gradually became clear, and when he reached out and pushed, the door was open, and the room was empty.
"Could it be that she went to Xishan quietly?" He rushed into the room, looked around, and saw a small piece of paper on his pillow.
It was still the broken words of the floating boat's hand like a dog, so that he could rest assured that he would stay in the stronghold to protect the teenagers, and not to look for her, so as to prevent the other party from making a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
"How can you rest assured?" Sui Han crushed the piece of paper and sighed against the bedrail, "A madman is a madman, and he never thinks about his own situation!" ”
He came to the bottom floor, hesitated, and stayed as he said.
The mountain road is long and silent, and the white expanse is empty, which will make people feel dizzy after walking for a long time.
Ding Ruoyu untied his cloak and patted away the snow outside, then took out a small ball from his arms and threw it into a small pile of snow bags two feet in front of him.
"Bang!" The ball exploded, and a choking red powder filled Zhang Xu Fangyuan, choking out two demon soldiers hiding behind the snowdrift.
The two of them were so spicy that they had snot and tears on their faces, first snorting and then rolling on the ground, and when they stood up again, Ding Ruoyu had already found the entrance to the secret passage hidden in the snow path.
"Fool, don't back down yet!" The person who appeared at the entrance was the middle-aged man who had negotiated conditions with Ding Ruoyu last time.
At this time, he put on a smiling face with his hands behind his back, and after reprimanding his subordinates, he asked in a good time: "Has Your Highness thought about it?" ”
Ding Ruoyu let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword, and said in an unguarded attitude: "Think about it, I'll join." ”
Anyway, she wanted to see Lihong first and make sure he was safe and sound.
Even though Sui Han didn't say a lot of things, she still guessed something.
If it weren't for something important, how could Lihong disappear for three whole days without even saying hello?
Hearing such a crisp answer, the middle-aged man was also unexpected. There was obviously not much trust in his eyes, and after a little startle, he cast a spell on a slippery smile to lift the barrier in this large space, and a large palace-like mansion appeared in the middle of the road.
Ding Ruoyu lightly touched the bandages wrapped around his hands, put on a pretended calm appearance, and followed the middle-aged man into the mansion.
The man watched her small movements and smiled more and more victoriously.
In the open courtyard were several shelves used to bind the limbs of the captives, stained with dark red and black blood. On the other side of the table, dozens of knives are arranged by model, ranging from razors to guillotines.
At the entrance of the lobby, a demon with a face full of meat butchers was sharpening his knives, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, he glanced up at them, and continued to work on his own.
The middle-aged man took Ding Ruoyu into the lobby, and a subordinate brought a sack, and when her face was untied, the face of the man who was sleeping and unconscious was revealed.
"How could he be with you?" Ding Ruoyu exclaimed.
In his twenties, his face is like gold paper...... Duan Liang's bow, which stood as tall as a javelin no matter where he stood, was lying softly in the sack at the moment, as if he had lost all his spirit.
No wonder Yu Feiqiong couldn't contact him, and he couldn't tell them about Duan Lianggong's whereabouts.
The panic on Ding Ruoyu's face at this moment was no longer deliberately used to confuse the other party, she rushed forward and pressed on Duan Liang's bow wrist, and she had already lost her pulse.
"He's dead?" After a moment of incense, she let go of her hand and got up to ask the middle-aged man with an idle look.
