Chapter 31: The Forbidden Art of Sacrifice

By the time Di Gui explained everything clearly, the two people in the grass were gone.

Ding Ruoyu pushed a wheelchair, stood in front of the empty medical hall, and said to Hong Qiao and the doctor: "Take Lao Jin directly out of the city and come back next month, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety." ”

The two of them were submissive, and as soon as Hong Qiao looked up, he saw Chen Lan playing with an extremely sharp short sword in his hand, and hurriedly retracted it with a shudder.

"Yes, wizard, let's go!" She tugged at the doctor's sleeve and took the package from his hand. The doctor held the handle of Lao Jin's wheelchair, bowed to the two, and hurried towards the city gate in a panic.

"Where do you go next?" Seeing people off, Chen Lan put away his sword and came to his partner's side.

"Dinner." Ding Ruoyu finally smiled and no longer strained his face.

"What?" Chen Lan's face froze.

"You're not hungry?" Ding Ruoyu pulled her straight to the restaurant.

"It's good to be with you." After eating half full in the restaurant, the two of them went to the streets and alleys to buy snacks, and their hands were full at this time.

Ding Ruoyu winked at her.

"With you, I don't have to use my brain to do anything." Chen Lan bit down a large rock sugar gourd and said vaguely, "You don't know how tangled I will be when I am alone!" ”

"If it weren't for the amount of silver given from above, I would have been entangled." Ding Ruoyu shook the money bag he took out of his sleeve.

"This is ......" Chen Lan snatched it over, the white silk purse, embroidered with a few green leaves.

Ding Ruoyu retracted her hand into her sleeve, let her play with it, and said with a smile: "It was given to me by weak water." ”

Chen Lan wrinkled her nose and whispered to herself: "I thought it was given by that adult." ”

Ding Ruoyu glanced at her vigilantly, and looked like she hadn't heard of it. The other party only looked down at the purse, not noticing her unusual gaze at all.

The sun gradually faded, the two returned to the inn and slept for two hours, got up before dawn, rushed to the opposite side of the grass shed of the Xijiang swordsmen, found a bush enough to hide their figures, and waited quietly.

However, at the end of the day, the man in black, who had been lying still like a dead corpse in the grass shed, suddenly clutched the thatch under him.

The invisible sense of oppression in his body suddenly disappeared, and he immediately opened his eyes and sat up.

Chu You's sleep was shallow, and when he heard the movement, he opened his one eye. The starlight dimmed, and when I saw the black and swarthy clouds standing there, I couldn't help but jump up in fright. The other two beside him also asked dimly.

Tang Chun saw that the fire was burned, only to find that it was the man in black who woke up.

"Miro-sama!" Several people hurriedly knelt down, but the man in black did not respond, and it seemed that he could not hear their sound at all.

His attention was drawn to somewhere outside the house, but he didn't make the next move.

The sky is about to dawn, the city gate is open, and the soldiers stationed there are sleepy-eyed. Suddenly, a horse in white clothes and white horses swept over his head in a blink of an eye. The little soldier hurriedly looked back and rubbed his eyes again, where was there still a shadow? He was so shocked that he thought he had bumped into a ghost in the morning.

The man in black sat silently in the hut, his head twisted in an eerie position, motionless towards the north.

At the end of the day, the big iron gate of Pear Blossom Villa was opened, and a group of more than a dozen people surrounded a seemingly ordinary carriage and slowly moved towards the summer resort. Except for a small place on the wall of the car where the Nangong family crest, the rest are no different from other big families in the city.

Nangong Yao fell asleep in the nurse's arms, and the carriage swayed. Nangong Ning peeled an orange, secretly leaned over, and squeezed the juice from the orange peel into his nose. Nangong Yao couldn't help but sneeze, got up in a daze, and shouted, "It's so sour."

The nurse gently patted Nangong Ning twice and told her not to mess around.

The two children were wearing the blue and white practice clothes of the disciples of Pear Blossom Villa, both with small braids, tall, short, fat and thin, and their eyebrows were exactly the same. If they hadn't been together for a long time, they wouldn't have been able to tell the twins apart.

Nangong Ning was still smiling after being beaten, not afraid of pain at all, and stuffed the peeled orange into his brother's mouth.

At this moment, the carriage was bumped, and Nangong Yao didn't pick it up, and the orange fell down and rolled to the side of the door, stained with a circle of dust.

"What's wrong?" The carriage stopped moving no further, stopped in the middle of the road, and the nurse hurriedly opened the curtain and asked.

"Someone is blocking the way!" The coachman shouted.

A cold light crossed the nurse's eyes.

"Those two weird girls really didn't come to entertain me......" she thought to herself, and told the brother and sister to sit and not come out, she hid two bamboo tube hidden weapons in her sleeves, and slowly got out of the carriage.

On the barren mountain path, there were three people in front of the car, a blind man, a sick ghost, and a little white face, and the nurse smiled lightly: "A few masters, I don't know what to do when I stop me in broad daylight?" ”

"Is there no one in the Nangong family?" Among the three, the little white face took a step forward, stroked his sideburns and laughed, "You actually sent a half-old?" Tell me, where is the head of your house? Tell him to come out and meet Uncle Ben! ”

The nurse glared at him and suddenly smiled coldly.

"What are you laughing at?" The little white face was a little puzzled.

The nurse didn't say a word, and secretly tore a thin copper wire on the bamboo tube in her sleeve.

Before Tang Chunjing could provoke, a white ribbon came to his face, he dodged, pulled out his knife and cut it, the ribbon was not broken, but he heard a miserable scream, Di Gui lost half of his left arm.

"What's going on!" He shouted, his eyes reddening at once.

The severed arm was dripping with blackened poisonous blood, emitting bursts of fishy stench, and he jumped twice on the ground, densely inserted with tiny gold needles.

The nurse threw away a bamboo tube, withdrew the white silk, and looked at the three of them with a serious expression. Her sneak attack was not entirely successful, and she became more and more cautious at the moment.

"Golden wire entwined needle!" Tang Chunjing called out the name of the hidden weapon in the bamboo tube, pointed at the nurse, and his voice trembled, "You, you are Nangong Yun!" ”

Nangong Yun bowed her head, pursed her lips and let out a scream.

The Three Knifemen were also on guard, and immediately clenched their knives when they heard this sound. Two petite figures sprang out of the grass, and instead of rushing at them, they broke through the carriage, took out two children dressed identically from the carriage, and withdrew to the rear.

"Nangong Family Master!"

It turned out to be a sound of striking west, and the three of them shouted and were about to rush away from Nangong Yun's block, and with a "boom", a gloomy black shadow blocked in front of the girls.

The narrow mountain path suddenly became more crowded, and the two children were already frightened to death by the overwhelming momentum.

Cold sweat rolled down her cheeks one by one, plopping, Chen Lan couldn't help but kneel down on one knee, her shoulders shrunk, and she looked up at the person in front of her with difficulty. Ding Ruoyu still remained upright, but he was not much better than her. Her face was pale, even a little blue, and the tendons on her neck were bulging.

She took a few steps back, untied her long belt and tied Nangong Yao into a zongzi, threw it far into the thick grass next to her, and pulled out the fire dagger hidden in her sleeve, waiting for the other party to attack.

The black shadow silently glanced towards the north, waved his hand without warning, and just the strength of his sleeves shook and knocked Chen Lan upside down and flew out, rolling several times after landing on the ground.

After that, he turned to Ding Ruoyu.

Looking at the blood gushing out from the corners of Chen Lan's mouth, Ding Ruoyu stood concentratingly, and first set up a wind barrier on his body. The other party's momentum was like a bottomless abyss, and she had already decided to fight with all her might. In the face of this kind of monster, if you still want to preserve your strength, you are killing yourself.

The speed of the black shadow was as fast as lightning, and as soon as it hit Chen Lan, he waited in front of Ding Ruoyu as if it had been calculated. Ding Ruoyu took offense as defense and hit the double blade of ice and fire, but he was still shocked by his fierce momentum. Luckily, the wind barrier was a little bit of a stop, otherwise the blow would have had to break her ribs.

It's tricky. Ding Ruoyu took advantage of the momentum to retreat a few feet, widening the distance, staring at each other with his eyes.

On the other side, seeing that the two of them were frustrated, Nangong Yun also sank her face. Seeing her like this, Tang Chunjing had a cruel smile on his face. Miro, the number one in the world, really lives up to his name. Just a phantom can suppress them to death, if the deity comes, I don't know how powerful it will be?

He was distracted, and he was hit by a hidden weapon in the shoulder again. hurriedly lifted the knife and cut off the skin and flesh of the hidden weapon, only to find that this shot was non-toxic.

Nangong Yun didn't dare to relax for a moment. Although the three people in front of him were disabled, blind and injured, they were not easy to deal with. Xijiang Four Knives was originally a reputation cut out of half a lifetime, if it wasn't for the fact that she was underestimated at the beginning, she was afraid that she was injured now.

Losing the obstacle in front of him, the black shadow immediately turned to the direction of the grass and walked towards the unconscious Nangong Yao. Ding Ruoyu panicked, and his telekinesis shot a water dragon and fell from the sky, but it was only drenched in black shadows. She didn't stop there, her palms flashed with fire, and she didn't rush out, but controlled the previous water dragon to warm up with the splash on the black shadow's body, trying to burn him.

The Black Shadow Trail walked on its own, indifferent, unaware.

Ding Ruoyu threw the fireball in his palm on him, and the firelight disappeared, but it passed directly through him.

When the sun rose, she realized that the outline of the person in front of her was hazy and transparent, but it was not real.

She was so shocked that she couldn't hit the main body, and it was useless to do anything to a phantom.

Nangong Yun was stabbed twice, and finally sent Di Gui to the West Heaven, and his physical strength was gradually exhausted. Although the skills of the remaining two are not as good as Di Gui, they are cunning and difficult to deal with one by one. At this time, Chu You stepped on the ninja knife and jumped, hid his figure, leaving Tang Chunjing to slash with her, and secretly stabbed a knife where she had no time to take care of, which was tricky and ruthless.

Among the grass, the black shadow raised his hand to accumulate strength, and with a palm split, Ding Ruoyu swept over, gathering the mental power of the three elements together, and slapped him with a palm.

There was a rattle, and her left arm was broken in several places.

The shadow flew up and kicked her unconscious, rolling down the mountain with gravel and weeds. Then, he raised his second palm towards Nangong Yao.

In the morning light, an inconspicuous green light flew by, resisting the menacing blow.

The misty mountains seemed to appear out of thin air, with one more man and one horse. The horse color is pure white, and the people are also dressed like snow, calm and elegant, like a heavenly priest.

He got off the horse, held the staff in one hand, scooped up Nangong Yao in the bush with the other, handed it into Nangong Yun's arms, and pointed at the cane, easily breaking Chu You's obstacle and killing him under the staff.

"Ning, Ning'er......" Nangong Yun hugged the child and asked someone tremblingly.

"The twins' sister can't be saved anymore." The man in white didn't say anything comforting, just glanced at her regretfully.

He walked to Chen Lan, who had fallen to the ground, flicked her lightly on her forehead, picked her up and put her on horseback, and then turned to the black shadow, chanting words in his mouth, as if he was initiating some complicated ritual.

A wisp of black smoke lit up in the void, and the smoke grew thicker, finally obscuring the shadow, and when it cleared, there was nothing left in the grass.

"Nangong Lady's Day mourns and changes." The man in white bowed before he glanced at Tang Chunjing, who had been lying there shaking like chaff.

"You, tell me more about the sacrificial forbidden art." He paced to a big tree and beckoned to Tang Chunjing.
