Chapter 111: Difficulty
The corpse chaser drove the ten corpses down the tunnel, and walked behind without hurrying, Lu Shi said softly as he walked: "The demon stronghold is set up not far from the mass grave, so that the ancestors can take the corpses at any time. ”
The walls of this underground passage are made of unknown materials, and even if you speak quietly, the sound can be heard for a long distance.
Lihong responded with a "good", and fell into a long silence in the tunnel.
Lu Shi was originally a cheerful and talkative person, but he couldn't bear this lifeless atmosphere for long, especially with so many dead people. After walking for a mile or so, he coughed twice and said without words: "I wonder if the ancestor needs anything other than fifty?" ”
"None." The other party can say one word, never two.
"Well, this ...... Ahem, haha, okay, okay. Lu Shi talked to himself, and it was just some modal words for a long time.
When he arrived at the uphill place, Li Hong finally spoke again and said to the corpse chaser in front of him: "Let me go." ”
Ding Ruoyu grabbed his sleeve tightly all the way, and at this moment, he also quickened his pace and came to the front of everyone.
The slope was not particularly steep, and he walked close to Hong, and after walking for a short time, he began to knock on the wall of the passage every once in a while, looking for the location of the mechanism.
Knocking on an empty-sounding wallboard, he stopped, groped around, took out the knife in his arms, and plunged it through a gap.
The wall panels are flipped back, revealing a series of mechanisms hidden within the wall.
Several iron hooks wrapped around strong ropes fell out, and Li Hong grabbed a corpse and showed how to tie it with these hooks, and the four corpse chasers did the same to hang the rest of the corpses on the hooks.
After all ten corpses were hung, Lihong pressed another mechanism, and as the engine turned, the iron chain attached to the other end of the rope rattled, carrying the object below upward.
The device is divided into two parts, and the things below rise to a certain point and gradually stop, and someone needs to get out of the hole to open the second part of the mechanism from above.
The two corpse chasers stayed at the bottom to guard, and the rest came to the silent courtyard at midnight behind the building.
Lihong leaned over and tossed an iron bar hidden in the ground beside the hollow, and the sound of the clattering chains rang out again.
Beside him, Lu Shi also helped carry the corpse.
Ding Ruoyu was about to come over, but he reached out to stop him.
A few faint fireflies in mid-air flashed out.
After all the moves, Lu Shi and the corpse chasers also left through the back door.
After walking for more than two hours, Ding Ruoyu did not feel that his legs were sore and weak, but he couldn't sleep for a while.
Seeing that Lihong had no intention of driving her away, he stayed in the room and quietly watched him turn out the previous stone and continue carving.
In the middle of the stone, a circular notch was cut out, and until all the edges and corners were smoothed, he took another hedron of the same shape and size and filled it in.
Ding Ruoyu remembered the things he saw in his dream and asked, "Are you doing the magic device?" ”
Li Hong took out some scrap copper and rotten iron from the cabinet, attached some metal strips polished into specific shapes to the hedron to fix it, and then refined it with the magic fire in his palm.
After working back and forth for an hour, he stopped, took Ding Ruoyu's hand, and asked her to inject mental power into this stone.
A golden glow filled the room, overshadowing the flickering candle flames and spilling through the window paper into the pitch black room.
Li Hong put his hand on her hand, and a circle of black and purple demonic qi instantly suppressed this golden glow, fixing it into a range that was just enough to envelop the two of them.
After coming to Caihualou for so many days, it was the first time he had brought himself to fiddle with these things. Ding Ruoyu's heart was full of questions, but he didn't know how to speak.
"It's finished." Li Hong withdrew her hand, the demonic energy disappeared, and she also put away her mental power, and this small magic weapon returned to its previous inconspicuous appearance.
Seeing that she wanted to speak and stopped, Lihong pulled a charcoal strip from the corner and briefly introduced it on the ground.
For so long, he has been making this defensive magic weapon, just because he is afraid that Ding Ruoyu will not be able to deal with the aftermath when he is not there, and he can use it to resist.
After the tempering of the telekinesis of the Heavenly and Demon Races, this spar sealed with a large number of runes has been able to reach the level of complete defense within the time limit. The way to use it is also very simple, just inject a trace of telekinesis, and if you are recognized as the owner, a protective barrier will rise around you.
The enchantment envelopes the user's entire body in a spherical shape, and even attacks from the air or underground have no effect.
Ding Ruoyu held the spar in his palm and sighed that the person who made this thing was a genius.
But what surprised her even more was that the other party had been thinking about her.
Putting away the magic weapon, she couldn't help but hang her head and stepped forward, gently grabbing his hand.
"Not afraid?" Lihong pulled her to sit on the floor and suddenly asked in a low voice.
Ding Ruoyu panicked, staring at his covered face and the only pair of dark eyes that appeared.
When did his eyes turn black again?
She opened her mouth and let go of a hand, wanting to touch it.
Lihong avoided her attack, looked at the sky outside the door, and sighed, "It's ugly." ”
The girl hurriedly jumped up, restrained herself from becoming calm quickly, walked steadily towards the door, and finally turned back to him and said, "Get well quickly!" ”
In the midst of a moment of distraction, she closed the door and disappeared as if she had fled.
Within two days, Duan Hongzhu's letter to South Vietnam was answered, and at the same time, the army of Yu Guo also held the border city that had almost become precarious, and the squad returned to the court.
After receiving the reply, Duan Hongzhu opened the envelope and read it to Ding Ruoyu, Duan Lianggong was indeed a junior of their Duan family, but it belonged to a different branch from Duan Hongzhu, they raised white Gu worms, and Duan Lianggong's branch raised another green Gu worm.
Both of these types of Gu worms can play a role in controlling the Gu object, but the white Gu worm can still recover slowly after it is lifted, and the green Gu worm will gradually erode the spiritual will of others even if it is lifted, causing it to kill itself.
In recent years, their Duan family has banned the cultivation of green Gu insects, precisely because it is too sinister and vicious, and it is against the norms of heaven. The side one is also declining.
"Duan Lianggong does always wear a turquoise ring." Ding Ruoyu recalled.
"When you meet someone from their family in the future, stay out of the shadows to prevent them from being shaded." Duan Hongzhu reminded.
In the evening, there was a girl in Caihua Building who was going to be sent to a foreign house to be a concubine, and all the girls and maids in the building rushed out to see her off.
The old man Wan, who had broken up unhappily a few days ago, came again, completely forgot about the last time, swaggered down at the round table and pointed at the few graceful maiko on the stage.
Ding Ruoyu put down the plate and turned around to go to the next table, but was stopped by him, pointed to the leftover bone residues on the table and said, "Wipe it clean!" ”
"Okay."
Ding Ruoyu responded, and was about to get a rag, when he heard the old man continue: "Wipe it with your hands." ”
The one who comes is the guest, and the one who spends the money is the uncle, and it is not strange that Ding Ruoyu has seen many similar tricky scenes, and there will be nothing less in the world than these wonders.
This Master Wan didn't make any drastic moves this time, just wiping the table with her hands, she could still bear it. So he used the empty plate left in his hand to continue, and the other hand wiped it vigorously on the oily table in front of Master Wan.
"Did you take it on a plate?" Unexpectedly, Master Wan was still dissatisfied, and raised his eyebrows, even more fierce, "Give me a hem of clothes!" ”
The co-author of this master came to the building to pick up soft persimmons and pinch them to relieve the sullenness, and he just became the soft persimmon......
"Yes, yes, yes." Ding Ruoyu's demeanor and tone also lost his previous politeness and courtesy, and began to be perfunctory.
Running around the hem and pushing the residue in little by little, the freshly washed and dried overalls were immediately stained with oil and dirty like a flower child.
The two fox friends and dog friends who came with Master Wan laughed and talked about her from time to time, with a light and disdainful gaze, and one said: "This little guy is a young man, he hasn't been here for long, and he is not very old. ”
Another person grinned and said: "You are still born with clear eyebrows, call Lao Song Lai, that guy is so manly, maybe he likes this mouthful." ”
Only then did Master Wan notice Ding Ruoyu's appearance, and his thick and short hand suddenly grabbed her wrist dragging the hem of her clothes, and the food residues that had been packed were shaken off the ground.
The thick hand lifted her slender hand to the table, and Master Wan laughed cruelly, and said to the other two: "What a little guy, this is a female!" ”
"Female?" The two looked at each other with even more unscrupulous gazes.
Last time, hindering Lou Xue's row and status in the rivers and lakes, they chose to be patient. This time it's just a handy girl pretending to be a little girl, and she doesn't look bad, and Master Wan has evil thoughts again.
However, Ding Ruoyu still put on an unknown expression at the moment, looking at them blankly, as if he was stupid and out of sight.
Bullying the weak has always been a source of fun for these people.
Master Wan grabbed a pot of undrunk wine, put it in front of her and said, "After drinking this pot of wine, I will let you go!" ”
Ding Ruoyu still looked like he couldn't react, and picked up the wine jug.
The two guests next to her were about to cheer up, when they saw her carrying the wine jug and smashing it directly into the face of Master Wan, with two bangs and bangs, the wine jug was broken, the wine was splashed, and the bridge of Master Wan's nose was broken.
Ding Ruoyu wiped his greasy fingers on his front placket, shook the wrist joint that was held before, and after a few clicks of bones, she also moved her hands and feet, and dragged Master Wan to throw his huge body from the hall to the gate three feet away.
