Chapter 64: Whimsical
Looking at her questioning demeanor, Lou Xue suddenly had mixed feelings in her heart.
Lihong from her senior brother is simply carved out of a mold.
Duan Hongzhu didn't believe it at first, and tried to attack Ding Ruoyu with a flying knife from inside. The knives shot out into a large gap between the flames, but they were blocked in mid-air, and one by one they fell to the snow.
Only then did she realize that except for the ridges composed of twelve flames, the other empty surfaces were filled with wind shields. She was completely in an enclosed space at the moment.
This is no longer a simple spell for low-level wizards......
A few years ago, when she was still a disciple of the Yellow Cliff Gang, she met a witchcraft person who knew witchcraft.
The man happened to be of the wind system. She had seen witchcraft for the first time and was overwhelmed with fear. The second time she fought the man, she understood what was going on, and used the speed of her light skills to find the gap in the man's spell, and smashed the hidden weapon into his body, and finally left her at her mercy.
Since then, she has thought that witchcraft is nothing more than that, as long as she moves fast enough, she can always break all spells and control the actions of wizards, which is the same as winning quickly in martial arts.
But today, she was planted. The other party is a type of martial arts and magic practitioner, and her actions are naturally faster than the wizard she met last time, but she is far worse than herself. Not only did she underestimate the enemy, but she also lost in prediction, and at the same time, she also saw someone using the formation for the first time.
The other party looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she could never have imagined that she would have such a terrifying ability.
Once she confirmed the strength of the other party, she inevitably panicked. Ding Ruoyu squatted outside the cage and whispered something to her, sounding like a demon's whisper.
Duan Hongzhu covered her ears and didn't want to hear her voice, but found that the more she didn't want to listen, the more those whispers had to drill into her ears, disturbing her inner breath and her face flushed.
"Don't say it, don't say it......" she cried out uncontrollably, her eyes closed, the bell on her body swaying with the amplitude of her shaking head, making her heart more and more disturbed.
"After solving Lu Xianda's Gu, I will let you go." Ding Ruoyu finally stopped describing those strange ways to die, and put forward his own suggestions again.
Duan Hongzhu responded sweating profusely.
The firebars around her disappeared from top to bottom, but turned into shackles with long chains of fire, tying her hands and feet, which was equivalent to half of them.
Ding Ruoyu didn't trust her and forced her to come to Lu Xianda's side.
"Hold him down." Duan Hongzhu said to her and Lou Xuedao, and then pressed his finger on the pulse on the side of Lu Xianda's neck, driving the Gu worm to crawl to the blood hole that had been bitten open when it burrowed into his body.
Ding Ruoyu and Lou Xue clasped Lu Xianda's shoulders left and right, and he suddenly struggled desperately, his face distorted, and he looked extremely painful.
The periphery of the blood cave gradually rotted, and Duan Hongzhu asked the master and apprentice to put Lu Xianda's wound on the ground, causing the black blood gushing out to drip directly on the snow.
The Gu worms that were tumbling in the blood that could not be seen by the naked eye grew into the wind after falling to the ground, turning into black worms the thickness of thumbs, entangled and writhing with each other, which was disgusting.
Ding Ruoyu let go of a hand and threw a ball of flame at the pile of filth. With a breath, the Gu worms turned into a large cloud of black smoke, choking the three of them coughing or crying, and the strange smell filled the air for a while before dissipating.
The black blood flowed out, the wound began to contract, and Duan Hongzhu's nimble fingers pulled it back into the palm of the white jade beetle and burrowed into the hole in the ring. The beetle shrunk its head and feet, and its shell secreted a colorless, transparent liquid that enveloped its tiny body and quickly solidified into a multicolored gem.
Lou Xue took gauze to bandage Lu Xianda to stop the bleeding, and saw that he coughed a few times and then fainted to the ground, so he had to be pulled to the car.
"Little apprentice take a look at the map, are we going to the city or going back to Lao Lu's house?" It was freezing cold, and three more people lost the ability to move, and if they were delayed like this, a few of them would take jujube pills.
Ding Ruoyu raised his eyes and looked around, there was no village in front of the village, there was no store in the back, there was no landmark landscape in the vast snowy wilderness, and he couldn't judge even if he looked at the map, so he had to roughly judge based on the memory when he came: "Go to the city." ”
So the three women tied up the two horses, and with great difficulty drove the broken cart of the other three, which had not even a windshield, and moved forward like a snail in the ice and snow, and it took them about an hour and a half to reach the town, and their leather clothes were frozen into ice lumps.
After staying in the inn, they settled Lu Xianda, who had just woken up, and Zhu Gan, who couldn't walk, and carried the pale woman into another guest room with two beds.
After putting down the pale woman, Ding Ruoyu threw out the fire shackles again and locked Duan Hongcandle at the foot of the bed.
Lou Xue took the woman's pulse and muttered, "It's so strange." Seeing that Ding Ruoyu didn't know why, she said in a low voice, "She has almost no breath, but it's not as simple as dying...... Or rather, her soul is not in this body. ”
"What caused her to be like this?" Something vague flashed in Ding Ruoyu's mind, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he had to continue to ask about the woman's situation.
"What's the reason...... Lou Xue poured a cup of hot water, walked to the window and took a breath before saying to her, "Have you ever heard of 'medicine man'?" ”
Ding Ruoyu nodded, she took a small sip of water to moisten her throat and said: "Most medicine people have powerful bodies, but their intellect and emotions are intervened into a mess by the controller, all relying on spells and drugs to urge, and they have no autonomous ability. ”
"And a very small part of them can rely on their rich combat experience and special abilities to be used by others," Lou Xue looked at the goose feather snow floating outside the window, and her gaze gradually deepened, "These are the bodies of the medicine people as containers, stripping off their original divine consciousness, and then loading them into other people's divine consciousness......"
She sighed and said, "The medicine man created in this way has an autonomous consciousness. ”
"It's just that the divine consciousness that can be loaded into the body of the medicine person also has certain requirements." Lou Xue looked at the pale woman, her eyes were full of compassion, "They themselves are often born with extremely poor physique, or they are forced to cause it by the day after tomorrow, and then when they are dying, their souls will be extracted by some special artifacts when they are not dispersed, and then added to the body of the medicine man who has just been emptied and has not lost his life characteristics." ”
"Master thinks that Mrs. Lu is ...... Consciousness taken away? Ding Ruoyu said.
"If most of her divine consciousness had been taken away, she would not have been able to maintain her current state, and she would have died a long time ago." Lou Xue said, "She should have been taken away half." ”
"I see...... Duan Hongzhu, who was sitting crookedly at the foot of the bed, suddenly answered.
Ding Ruoyu looked at her suspiciously, and then listened to her: "When Zhu Qian and I met her in South Vietnam, it was already like this. After all, we know each other, and because she is Lao Lu's beloved wife, we want to find a doctor to wake her up, so that Lao Lu can be forced to comply...... Along the way, we approached dozens of doctors, all of whom said she had died a long time ago. But how can there be a dead man who is not corrupt? It's been a month since we met her at the docks, and she's still the same as before, and she hasn't changed at all! ”
"It seems that you are not a hard-hearted person either." Lou Xue smiled, put down the cup and said, "It's just a gang, it's not unprecedented, why did your gang leader kill Lao Lu?" ”
Even if Duan Hongzhu was reduced to a prisoner, he exuded the deadly charm of a mature woman all over his body, and his every move was full of charm.
She thought about it, and Xingmu said half-restrictedly: "Because the gang leader is afraid, Lao Lu's puppet technique and poison making method are even more powerful than the gang leader, and he is afraid of being replaced......"
"What did you helper do to make you so loyal to him?" Lou Xue couldn't help but sigh.
Duan Hongzhu's body trembled slightly, and he raised his hand to untie his clothes.
The master and apprentice walked over to take a look, and her entire back was branded with a scorched yellow mark, from her shoulders to her waist, forming a rune that Ding Ruoyu couldn't understand at all.
"It's the word 'forbidden.'" Lou Xue could understand, turned her face sideways and said to her apprentice, "She has been banned in her body, once she has a different heart, the spell in this seal will be activated, tearing her to pieces, and there is no place to bury her." ”
"So you don't have to kill Lao Lu." She stretched out her hand and traced the runes on the back of the red candle, and the burnt yellow mark glowed with black and purple light, and the two offset each other, gradually fading, until they turned light yellow.
Duan Hongzhu covered his head, snorted in pain, and twisted half of his body, trying to roll on the ground.
"I can only change the intensity of this prohibition slightly, if you want to completely eliminate it, you must go with us to the Xiyan Kingdom to find my senior brother." After the pain in her body subsided, Lou Xue put her clothes back on.
"Being able to place such a vicious ban shows that your gang leader doesn't trust his subordinates at all. This kind of thing can only be used once on the same person, and he wouldn't have thought that you could find someone to crack it. If you tell me about it when you go back, I won't have to say anything about the consequences. She added.
Duan Hongzhu looked at her with tears in her eyes, and nodded slowly: "I'm not a fool, I understand everything you say." It's just that this time the gang leader issued a death order, and we must take Lao Lu's head, otherwise...... None of us want to live. ”
Lou Xue frowned, and before she could think about it, Ding Ruoyu suddenly asked, "How many people are there in your gang who have been banned like this?" ”
Duan Hongzhu was stunned, she didn't guess what she was thinking for a long time, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Five people...... The five strongest in the gang. The gang leader is also a mortal, and his skills are limited, so it is impossible to set a ban on everyone. ”
"You have it, there must be a master like Zhu Gan, and there are three other ......" Ding Ruoyu thought for a while and said, "Master, why don't we save all these people, and then let them collectively turn against the water and get rid of that gang leader?" ”
Lou Xue smiled, comforting Duan Hongzhu, who was almost frightened, and patted his chest and said: "Children's family, I don't understand anything, I am young and whimsical, don't take it ......seriously."
