Chapter Twenty-Four: The Forbidden Land Under the Sinkhole
Heading north to the end of the stone forest at the bottom of the cave, there was a stone monument standing in front of them. They moved the mechanism and went underground, landing in front of a middle-aged man who looked like a fairy wind.
The man had a majestic face, but he was locked to the towering rock wall by the black iron chain.
He glared at Lihong, as if he had bitter hatred. But when he saw that he was seriously wounded, he burst out laughing again.
Lihong led Ding Ruoyu to him, and smiled lightly: "Take a closer look at this girl?" ”
Ding Ruoyu helped Lihong with a serious expression, and his eyes were cold and stubborn.
"Celestial ...... No, she's not! The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and then categorically denied, "It's just an ordinary mortal female doll!" ”
"Really, not?" Li Hong also frowned.
"I don't have to lie to you about this little thing." The middle-aged man said disdainfully.
A faint sense of loss floated in Lihong's eyes.
"Anyway, Si Ming said that those souls were scattered and scattered at the beginning, and they had long been put together...... It's me who is delusional. He pulled Ding Ruoyu and walked towards the stone gate on the other side of the rock wall.
The middle-aged man locked on the rock wall warned Ding Ruoyu in a loud voice: "Female doll, don't be deceived by this demon with a human face and a beast's heart!" Stay away from him, he's not a good thing! ”
Ding Ruoyu hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his ears.
Li Hong saw it in his eyes, opened the mechanism, and both of them entered the stone room.
"I finally have some dry food and fruit wine here. I'm in a lot of trouble this time, I need to sleep, you can solve it yourself. Li Hong pointed to the haystack in the corner of the stone room, signaled that she had hidden food under it, and then he himself went to a stone bed in the back, lay down, and closed his eyes.
"How long are you going to sleep?" Ding Ruoyu hurriedly rushed over and asked.
"Who knows...... Ten days and half a month? Li Hong said disapprerovingly.
"You don't want to die!" She grabbed his fingers in a panic.
Li Hong closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly: "The person outside, no matter what he says, you don't believe it, he is a ...... who has lost his mind."
His voice grew fainter and weaker until it disappeared, and along with his breathing, he was completely gone.
Ding Ruoyu sat on the edge of the stone bed, I don't know how long, until he was so hungry that he got up to look for food.
After filling her stomach, she also took a piece of dry food, opened the stone door mechanism and handed it to the middle-aged man.
"Girl doll, you ......," the middle-aged man looked at her suspiciously.
"I guess it's time for you to eat, too." Ding Ruoyu didn't want to listen to his nonsense.
"I don't have to eat." The middle-aged man said, "I am the Dragon God of the Heavenly Clan. ”
Ding Ruoyu smiled. He was right, he was a madman. She leaned over, placed the dry food and wine wrapped in oiled paper on the floor, and turned back to the stone room.
Lihong seemed to be dead, cold and lifeless.
She took some water from the underground river to clean his wounds, but saw that the wounds on his legs were fine. His self-healing ability was stronger than that of ordinary people, and Ding Ruoyu watched as the huge arrow wound quickly formed a black scab.
Just his arm......
The tangled wisteria was attached and growing unscrupulously, and even the fire kept burning.
With this strange thing, his wounds would never heal.
"Female doll, I'm really not crazy." Seeing that she was coming again, Tianlong couldn't help but explain. He didn't know what Lihong had instilled in this girl, and his face was full of sympathy and pity when he saw him.
"My name is Tenryu, and I'm a wizard." He thought about it for a while, and he couldn't hold back such a sentence.
"You are a senior, and the younger generation has something you don't understand, and you still want to give advice." This person has no malicious intent, Ding Ruoyu knows it in his heart.
She didn't believe Li Hong's last words, and saw that Tianlong was old and extraordinary, and he must have had a lot of experience, so she asked her doubts.
"Girl, please speak." Tianlong was also a soft-hearted person.
"I've seen something that looks like a vine, purple all over, that grows on top of human flesh and blood, and it can't be removed in any way...... I don't know what it is? She described.
Tianlong stared at her closely, and suddenly his eyes were so full of excitement that she could barely open her eyes.
He laughed again, laughing so hard that the whole cavern vibrate.
"But Lihong?" He laughed and asked, "But he fell for this shackle?" ”
Ding Ruoyu was not afraid, stood there, and said calmly and unhurriedly: "No, I saw it in the scriptures. ”
"Then you should always know that the Demon Binding Rope does not work on mortals, it will only entangle the demon race, causing its essence and blood to dry up and never die!" Celestial Dragon roared.
"It's because I don't read the book carefully and don't remember it clearly." Ding Ruoyu lowered her eyelids, slightly ashamed, and it was not good for Tianlong to lose his temper with her.
"But I didn't see a solution in the book." She also gently judo, very much like a studious disciple asking for a knowledgeable gentleman.
Tianlong hesitated, seeing that she was only in her cardamom years, and her appearance was quite simple and quiet, she still spoke.
He sighed and said, "This magic rope is a magic weapon of the Celestial Clan, and the book you saw was only brought down by the people of the Celestial Clan." Of course, they won't tell you that only the blood of the Celestials can solve this ......."
"Mr. Tenryu must be a member of the Celestial Clan?" Ding Ruoyu said solemnly.
Tianlong's intuition was different, and he said for a while: "I am." ”
"Thank you, sir!" Ding Ruoyu saluted him and knelt on the ground, extremely religious.
Tianlong was still stunned, but saw her suddenly rush back to the stone room, took the empty wine jug and put it beside him, and pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and slashed his arm.
The bright red blood rolled down the barrel, and a layer of ice-blue light mist floated on it, which made Ding Ruoyu stunned.
Tianlong looked at her, and wanted to reprimand her, but after all, he didn't say anything, his eyes were deep and complicated.
"I'm sorry, I have to save him. Great kindness, sacrifice your life in the future! Ding Ruoyu glanced at him apologetically, took a small half pot of blood, and then gave him medicine and bandaged.
Tianlong sighed, "In addition to blood, you also need to cast a spell to control it...... I teach you. ”
Ding Ruoyu's heart warmed. She couldn't remember how many years she hadn't met someone so kind.
Even if she treats her very well, she is murderous, and there are countless secrets hidden in her eyes.
"Girl, I really felt that your nature was not bad, so I helped you with this." Tianlong said, "That monster, I don't want to save him at all, and I even wish he would disappear soon!" ”
"Please, Mr. Tenryu." Ding Ruoyu leaned down and bowed.
Celestial Dragon asked her to break a branch and report an obscure scripture for her to write on the dirt floor.
"This spell requires the use of an air blade. Did the girl ever practice witchcraft? Tianlong asked her.
Ding Ruoyu pinched a small fireball that she was best at.
"Fire ......" Tianlong frowned, and saw that she released another ice blade.
"Fire and water?" Tianlong exclaimed, "Little girl, come forward and stretch out your hand!" ”
Ding Ruoyu walked over as she said, stretched out her arm, and Ren Tianlong drew a talisman on the back of her hand.
Tianlong's surprised expression gradually calmed down, and he said slowly: "The four systems of magic are talents that only people of the Heavenly Clan can have, and the extremely talented Yan Kingdom wizards can only learn one of them, you are just a mortal." This situation ...... Did Lihong do anything to you? ”
"At that time, he nodded on my eyebrows......" Ding Ruoyu recalled.
Tianlong showed a resolute expression and smiled: "It turns out that he helped you open the divine sense!" It seems that you are a water system yourself. ”
"Why?" Ding Ruoyu was puzzled, the best thing she used was obviously the fire system.
"Lihong is a demon, born from the fire system, and he won't be like you." Tenryu smiled, "However, I will teach you the wind system as well." ”
Ding Ruoyu was so shocked that he almost forgot to thank him.
"Your girl's mental power is extraordinary, and she can completely control the three-system spells." Tianlong Dao, suddenly remembered something, "I think back then, Xiao Azhou was also a third-line ......"
The latter sentence was too quiet, and Ding Ruoyu didn't hear it clearly.
Tenryu began to teach her by hand. Extremely angry, using her original foundation to take it a step further and leapfrog into another realm.
After the light of heaven was extinguished more than a dozen times, she was finally able to send out a faint qi blade. Ding Ruoyu was not satisfied, but Tianlong couldn't close his mouth and praised her for her talent.
The runes on the ground had also been cultivated to a certain extent, and she followed the steps of the Heavenly Dragon to dissolve the blood frozen in the wine pot in advance, and then manipulated the air blade to flatten it and spread it evenly on the demon binding rope that had crawled all over Lihong's arm.
The blood soaked the wisteria, and under the control of the wind, it did not roll down, but only wrapped it tightly.
She had previously rested for the whole day. Celestial Dragon told her that the spell would last for five hours before it would work. So she crossed her knees, her fingers sealed, and she controlled the wind blade with full concentration and motionlessness, and recited the incantation in her mouth.
Outside the stone room, Tianlong leaned indifferently against the rock wall, bowed his head and pondered, sighing whether this was right or not.
What he saved for that little girl was one of the threats that the Celestial Clan had always had. He can always be merciful, but what about Lihong? It's a monster born with no humanity.
Time passed little by little, and Ding Ruoyu's whole body had already become sore, numb and stiff. She remained silent until the Nexus clicked, fell on the stone bed, and rolled down to her feet.
Ding Ruoyu immediately collapsed to the ground and fell asleep.
When she woke up again, she was still weak, and it took half a day to get up. She hurriedly looked over to the stone bed, where Lihong was still asleep, so she picked up the Binding Rope and limped to find the dragon.
"It's your Celestials." She actually stuffed it directly into the hem of Tianlong's clothes.
"You're not afraid that we'll use this to deal with Lihong again?" Tianlong said in slight surprise.
"Since Mr. has helped, will he do it to him again?" Ding Ruoyu asked rhetorically, "What's more, it's useless for him to keep it." ”
Tianlong stared at her carefully and said, "I have never been able to understand why you want to be with him because you are honest and kind by nature?" ”
Ding Ruoyu sat next to him and thought for a long time.
"He's not that bad," she whispered, "and saved me a few times." I think he's just on a different side than you. ”
Tianlong's eyes sank instantly.
"I guess he must know how to break the Nexus, but he'd rather sleep himself than take his blood." Ding Ruoyu said slowly, "He probably doesn't want to hurt others for no reason. ”
"Demon people are evil by nature, and they are naturally cruel and murderous......"
For a long time, in the Heavenly Realm, similar concepts have been deeply ingrained in the hearts of every Celestial. They hated the demons for no reason, with the ultimate goal of destroying the demon domain and eliminating all the demon species, which led to one bloody war after another......
But the nature of the demon people, where is their turn to be beaked by the Celestial Clan?
Tianlong raised his head and sighed, the stubborn obsession of the Heavenly Clan for thousands of years was easily broken by a little girl in the mortal realm.
But it's just a different position.
