After the wind and waves between the water and the sky are calm, the quarter moon will also sink in the west.

The valley was restored to its original state, and the grass on the ground moved with the wind, erasing all traces of the battle.

"Dead?" Ding Ruoyu climbed out of the cave and looked down.

"Not dead, they took it away." Lihong put away the soul bell and drilled out.

The cool breeze blew, which made Ding Ruoyu's groggy head wake up all of a sudden, and his head didn't hurt anymore.

"How did you end up here?" Lihong said behind her.

Ding Ruoyu held back a lot of questions, but before he could speak, he asked first.

"The Fire Protector asked us to check Cang'er's whereabouts, and we happened to see these green-faced people, and followed them all the way here." She recounted it briefly.

"It seems like a coincidence." Li Hong smiled, his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Why are you ......" Ding Ruoyu took this opportunity to ask, and before the question was finished, he saw him staggering forward a few steps and falling down the slope of the mountain road.

She hurried over, propped him up, and scurried down the road with the fall, stopping on the grass.

Except for a few pieces of skin that had been torn, he was fine, but he fell asleep again.

Looking at the route in the valley, from north to south, he returned from the snow country, he would take this road, there was no need to ask that question at all.

It was a long way back to the city, so she lay down on the grass and waited for him to wake up.

In the market, Chen Lan chased in the direction where the poisonous needle flew, but found nothing. After looking around, she returned to the tea shop, and the poisonous needle that should have fallen on the ground was gone, as if someone had returned to clean it up.

The search was fruitless, Ding Ruoyu didn't seem to be able to come back for a while, she went back to the inn, bolted the doors and windows, sat cross-legged on the bed, and practiced the scriptures and calligraphy tips that she had memorized in her mind.

Jin Wu drove west, and the jade toad climbed to the middle of the sky. Until midnight, Ding Ruoyu still did not come back. Because of her distraction, the wind blade that flew out of Chen Lan's palm went towards the window lattice, and she hurriedly retreated, but her arm was cut by the thin air blade.

If this wind blade really hit the window, she believed that with Ding Ruoyu's careful temperament, she would definitely notice that she was also practicing penance.

She didn't want anyone to know her true strength until the exercises were strong enough to a certain extent.

Half an hour later, Ding Ruoyu couldn't hold it anymore, and fell asleep on the grass.

The sky was bright, and the sunlight pierced her eyes, stabbing her dimly open eyes. There was a red cloak around him, and he stood motionless beside the carriage respectfully. She sat up with a blanket over her. Turning her head, Li Hong was dressed in gorgeous clothes, sitting on a boulder by the lake, flipping through a book boringly in her hand, so many people seemed to be waiting for her to wake up.

Ding Ruoyu was embarrassed and wanted to disappear from here. Seeing that she was awake, Lihong jumped down from the stone and pulled her into the carriage.

The crowd walked silently towards the city, and all they could hear was the sound of wheels crashing on the ground and jagged footsteps.

"When did you wake up?" She finally couldn't take it anymore and spoke out first.

Lihong leaned against the wall of the car, picked off a few blades of grass stuck in her head and said, "It's not too early." When I woke up, they were all there. ”

"You didn't call the people?" Ding Ruoyu imagined that he was also confused, and couldn't help but smile.

"I'm used to keeping everything simple, this battle ...... It is the stinky virtue of Yan Xi. Lihong sneered.

Ding Ruoyu was slightly nervous, and asked in a low voice, "He's sending someone to spy on you?" ”

"I'm sending someone to spy on him, too." Li Hong glanced at her like a fool.

"Then I ......" is actually concerned about her own situation.

Lihong sat up straight, pulled her face, and stared at her eyes.

After looking at each other for just a few moments, Ding Ruoyu was about to panic, so he let go of his hand and said, "It's getting more and more similar." ”

Before she could ask, he continued: "Those green-skinned monsters yesterday, known as the Medicine Man, were all transformed from half-dead people, and their behavioral consciousness can be controlled through the forbidden law. ”

It was not in the same way as the preface, and directly diverted the topic to the point that Ding Ruoyu forgot what he really wanted to ask.

In the mortal world, several masters who have cultivated their magic to the extreme, except for Sui Han, will manipulate the forbidden techniques of the medicine man, but the actual medicine and spells vary from person to person.

The strongest medicine man is to introduce the undead of the Celestial Clan or the Demon Race into the body as a container, and the medicine man who does this will not only greatly increase his mana, but also have the ability of the Celestial Clan to quickly heal wounds or the ability to regenerate the limbs of the Demon Clan, and with appropriate spell control, it can even make it an immortal body.

Ding Ruoyu thought about the situation that those green-skinned monsters couldn't be killed, and a mouthful of sour water poured back in his stomach.

"But you seem to have an easy time dealing with those medicine men." Her mind went back to the day before.

"It's not easy, you've been deceived by my appearance." I don't know if I'm being modest, so I lifted my robe and revealed a few holes in the corners of the white clothes, "As long as it's stained with the poisonous water they squirt, it's over." ”

Ding Ruoyu looked at the hole and had palpitations.

"On the day of the festival and last night, the people we saw were all flowing flames." The carriage went around the boundary of a place where houses were being built, the same place where the Julei Tower had collapsed some time ago. The same craftsmen hired before have returned, but this time they are only building ordinary houses.

During the fire festival, the already injured Liuyan blew up his heart, the golden cicada broke out of his shell, and evaded everyone's ears and eyes with the appearance of Cang'er, and he quickly recovered two or three layers of skill, borrowing the batch of medicine men under him, planning to surprise and intercept and kill on the way back from Lihong.

But he underestimated Lihong's ability to predict. Not only did he guess that he was alive, but he also secretly sent people to search the city. In the two nights when Ding Ruoyu broke the formation in the Red Cloud Palace, after he laid out the magic array, he personally dispatched and discovered his murderous intentions to speed up his recovery.

In the valley, all the medicine men were knocked down, and Liuyan lost his guard for a moment, and then was thrown into the formation that had not yet been activated in the lake, and blocked the operation for a short time.

In addition, when he was in the Snow Country, he asked Sui Hanzi to reveal the news to the Celestial Clan guards, exaggerating what the Flowing Flame had done in the Nether, attracting the Everlasting Lantern, the Crane Weng, and the Luan Envoy to come and arrest him.

"If it weren't for the timely arrival of these three senior masters, I probably wouldn't have survived this moment after the flowing flame broke out of the seal." His demeanor was as calm as ever, as if he was talking about trivial matters.

Ding Ruoyu listened quietly, grabbed his hand and said, "Mu Huo asked us to check Cang'er, and then we found out that the person who was robbed of his heart was guilty...... It turned out that everything was because of him. ”

Li Hong smiled slightly, and withdrew his hand without a trace.

"The blood of the flame is highly poisonous, for so many years, he has been using his own blood to control me, the so-called antidote, he needs his blood as a medicine." He reached open the placket of his shirt, revealing a crimson tattoo under his collarbone, a devil with a hideous face sticking out its fangs.

Ding Ruoyu's face was hot, his eyes were wandering, but he suddenly remembered that he also had a tattoo on his back.

"It's not a tattoo." He laughed, "I studied for so many years, and finally stopped the spread of poisonous blood with an evil spell, so I was willing to send him to heaven with peace of mind. ”

But Cang'er, who was also infused with poisonous blood by the flowing flames, didn't need to expend most of his mental power to cast spells on him.

"My mana is going to be reserved for another runaway boy." Li Hong glanced at Ding Ruoyu, who was ashamed, and smiled meaningfully.

The carriage stopped in front of Mu Huo, who had received the news and came to greet him, and Ding Ruoyu got out of the car and followed them into the courtyard.

The subordinates brought up a cage covered with a red cloth, and the rest of the disciples retreated one by one, and after a while, Su Zhi came and lifted the red cloth, revealing the young man locked in the cage.

Yu Feiqiong's body was half stained with blood, her arms were hung high, and she was half kneeling in the cage, already delirious.

Su Zhi stepped forward to unlock the lock, dragged him out, and placed him on the red cloth that lay on the ground.

There were scissors, needlework, basins, towels and other items on the next few cases, and Su Zhi skillfully fiddled with them, first wiping away the blackened blood on Yu Feiqiong's body, then using scissors to pry off a large piece of hard nay-like material on his shoulder, and finally spraying the potion. When it was all done, half of his body was stained with blood again.

"He's also infused with poisonous blood?" Ding Ruoyu reacted and quietly pulled Lihong's sleeve.

Li Hong said: "I'm afraid that if I save him, I won't get a good word." ”

He walked over, bit his finger and drew a talisman on Yu Feiqiong's heart, and then set an enchantment outside the two.

Mu Huo and Su Zhi retreated a few feet away, and Ding Ruoyu also retreated, and the oncoming sense of oppression made her take a few more steps.

She remembered reading in books on the origin of witchcraft that curses were a series of spells that even demons were unwilling to use, and the casting of these spells required a part of themselves in exchange for reversing the laws of heaven and earth to achieve the ultimate goal.

Therefore, these evil spells are also listed as forbidden arts.

According to Lihong, the black shadow summoned by the Four Swords of the Xijiang River in South Vietnam before used the technique of sacrifice. Ordinary martial artists sacrifice their limbs, while wizards will have more room for sacrifice, and they have a certain degree of telekinesis.

Above the barrier, the mana flowed, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside. Three kinds of runes, silver, purple, and black, kept appearing in the dark clouds, which were exactly the same as the magic circle that trapped Ding Ruoyu in the Red Cloud Palace, but this time the scope was larger, and the mana fluctuated more violently.

"He trapped me in the circle, and even though I couldn't get out, I couldn't get in if anyone from outside came......" She suddenly understood something.

Su Zhi stood diagonally in front of her, heard her whisper, tilted her head slightly, and finally smiled at her kindly. Ding Ruoyu looked at her blankly, and nodded in return as if she was half a beat, which made her face stand up again.

"Dead girl, the ability to be angry doesn't even have the same!" She whispered indignantly.

Ding Ruoyu saw her turn back, and then put his gaze back on the magic circle.

A slight cracking sound sounded, the three-color runes were cracked and disappeared in turn, the magic circle was unraveled from the inside out, and the black mist slowly faded away.

On the red cloth, Yu Feiqiong lay motionless, not waking up from beginning to end, and her shoulders were already intact, with an extra blood-red mark.

Li Hong walked out with ten blood-drenched fingers, and said to Su Zhi: "Change the basin of water, I want to wash my hands." ”

Su Zhi hurriedly retreated, and Ding Ruoyu rushed over and grabbed his wrist, but found that none of the blood was his, so he was worried.
