The sound of midnight was even louder, the lights in the building were bright, but the backyard fell asleep.

A small door was gently pushed open, and Ding Ruoyu quietly walked out, waiting silently in an inconspicuous place in the courtyard.

After a stick of incense, the turf was turned up, and three or four men came out one after another. Lu Shi came out first, pressed the knob outside the entrance, and the ground rumbled and shook, and an iron cage was raised, and the other three climbed to the ground carrying the huge box inside the iron cage.

After sealing the entrance, Ding Ruoyu led them to the cellar of the firewood house, and the men opened the box, revealing the blood chrysalis that could not move after being exposed to the sun.

These giant chrysalis, which I don't know what material to use, are dry and brittle, and if you are not careful, they are easy to break and lose their effectiveness. Lu Shi and the others were used to being rough, and they didn't dare to go into battle in person, so they had to do it for Yang Ding Ruoyu.

The lid in front of him was lifted into the jade coffin on the ground, and the blood monster bit and boiled, and the strongly corrosive blood water foamed countless bubbles, crackling and splashing after bursting.

Between the dark red liquid, a white skeleton of bones floated and fell in the middle of it due to the blood monster's fighting, and after a while, the blood monster broke, and it covered it with layers of thin flesh and skin.

The flesh was gluing and falling off, and it seemed like it would never make progress. Ding Ruoyu raised a protective wind shield in his hand, and with extreme care, he picked up a giant chrysalis the size of a pumpkin from the box and gently put it into the jade coffin, trying not to splash the boiling scarlet liquid.

A thin and fragile layer of pale red pupa quickly spread out on the boiling liquid, and a pink and white strange thing like a curled fetus was wrapped inside, which instantly came to life, and its body was instantly covered with bloodshots, gradually expanding and expanding.

They climbed onto the floating white bones in the coffin, condensed into a layer of extremely adhesive gelatin, and fused the peeled flesh and blood back into the bones little by little.

One by one, they threw themselves into the giant chrysalis, until the layer of gel completely covered the flesh and blood with white bones, and then Lu Shi stood behind her and said, "Okay." ”

Ding Ruoyu looked at the box that was also empty at the same time, and whispered, "When will he be able to fully recover?" ”

Behind him, the muscular man, dressed like a bricklayer, sighed.

There was a sound of rustling behind the jade coffin, Ding Ruoyu was startled, and hurried over, only to see a few bricks on the wall that seemed to be loose falling, revealing a half-person-high hole, and a slender man crawled out of it with a short body and a black lacquered box in his hand.

"Aren't you ......" Ding Ruoyu pointed at him, and then looked at the body in the jade coffin, completely unable to understand the situation.

Li Hong glanced at her, didn't say anything, walked to the jade coffin, poured the powder from the box onto the torso that had a layer of solidified muscle model, and controlled the boiling of the scarlet liquid with demonic energy. Then, he found a shovel, stepped on the edge of the jade coffin, and tore half of the trouser tube with a "brush".

Shoveling out a small piece of black smoke muscle on the lower leg of the body, he stuck directly on his thin and shriveled leg with only a layer of skin, and instantly threw the shovel in pain, and fell to the ground and convulsed.

Ding Ruoyu moved to Lu Shi's side in a daze, and asked in a low voice, "Is he okay?" ”

"Body remodeling is like that, and forbearance is over." Lu Shi paused and thought about it and replied.

He was also in pain and almost fainted, but fortunately, there was Ling Shan, and he didn't need to do it himself, otherwise he might be even more embarrassed than this ancestor.

In a moment, Li Hong had already climbed up, climbed the edge of the jade coffin and shouted at Chong Lushi: "Call Ling Shan!" ”

Lu Shi looked at him and was stunned before nodding suddenly, telling Ding Ruoyu to take care of him, turned around and led people to rush out.

In the dimly lit cellar, only the two of them were left for a while.

Ding Ruoyu walked around and saw Lihong leaning on his elbows beside the jade coffin, no matter how he behaved or stance, he was completely different from the floating boat, but she still seemed to have seen the most familiar old person, quietly accompanying him.

The freshly filled piece of flesh on the calf had melted under the shriveled and wrinkled skin, holding it up plumply.

Ding Ruoyu couldn't help but be curious: "Is it all filled up and it can be completely restored?" ”

"It's not." Li Hong's voice was a little hoarse, and he suddenly reached out and took off the bandages on his face one by one.

Young and thin, her facial features are becoming more and more three-dimensional, except for the hair that has not yet had time to grow completely, the gap between her and the person she knew before is not too big.

Ding Ruoyu grabbed his shirt, pulled him closer, and looked at him fixedly, as if he was getting acquainted with another person under this skin as soon as possible.

The distance was only two or three inches, and even the dim light was stained with an inexplicable atmosphere. Li Hong stared into her eyes, feeling that she couldn't hold her body anymore and was about to fall to her, so she saw her raise her right eyebrow and said, "No! ”

"What's wrong?" When he was away from Hong, he grabbed the edge of the jade coffin and stopped him from leaning forward.

"Why do you look like you're less than twenty?" Ding Ruoyu's face was simple, and he looked so stupid and stupid.

Li Hong leaned back to his place, looked at the black zenith that couldn't see anything clearly, and said, "According to the lifespan of the demon clan, I was only nineteen years old. ”

Ding Ruoyu nodded suddenly in realization, and said, "Then according to the age of the person, you have lived for several decades?" ”

The other party didn't think about it and said, "One thousand five hundred and ninety-seven years is still two months away." ”

Ding Ruoyu was frightened, jumped up from the corner at once, hit a large iron plate placed vertically next to him, and squatted back in pain holding his head again.

She probably understood why the demon prince Lushi wanted to call him the old ancestor.

He is no longer old in the popular sense, but has become an old monster......

"For us, age doesn't mean much." Lihong pressed her palm against the place where she had been hit, and soon the pain was gone.

"Then I would venture to ask again, I ...... No, how old is the pontoon? After Ding Ruoyu calmed down, he also accepted this very understandable thing.

"She is at least a thousand years older than me, more than a thousand years old, to be specific, I haven't heard her mention it." Li Hong retracted his hand, and he didn't need to look to know that the other party's face was sluggish again.

After a while, Ding Ruoyu squeezed out a fatal question from between his teeth: "You...... What is the relationship between the two of you? ”

Li Hong looked at her in surprise and said lightly: "Friend." ”

"Just friends?" Ding Ruoyu said in disbelief.

Li Hong hung his face, he couldn't see the emotion in his eyes, and just asked in a low voice, "It's not a friend, what else can it be?" ”

Hearing him say this, Ding Ruoyu couldn't help but laugh and muttered in a low voice: "Fuzhou told me that I and she are the same person's two ways of existence. So, we're friends too? ”

"What nonsense? are all married, are they husband and wife......" Lihong glanced at her.

Ding Ruoyu always felt that he was offended, but he couldn't say clearly, so he had to stare back.

"Speaking of which, you've lived so long, you won't be married only once." She thought of something, and continued to ask, feeling that she had lost.

Li Hong staggered up with the jade coffin, heard the footsteps getting closer and closer outside, and said disdainfully: "If you live for a long time, you must get married many times?" Who prescribes? ”

"Could it be that you are still a child until now?" After Ding Ruoyu asked, he couldn't wait to slap his mouth.

The other party staggered under his feet, hurriedly pressed on her head to stabilize his figure, and said with a serious expressionless face: "The demon race is different from mortals, don't mess with us with the world." ”

Listening to the sound of the stairs outside, it was time for Lushi to return. Ding Ruoyu took his hand away and stood up, knowing that he had successfully offended him.

The curtain at the door was lifted, and Lu Shi brought a young man in Tsing Yi, who looked quite handsome, like a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam.

"This is the real ancestor, not the loss of the floating boat!" Lu Shi rushed over to introduce, and Li Hong, who was standing next to the jade coffin, nodded at him.

"I've seen my ancestors." Ling Shan made a strange gesture and performed the courtesy of the demon clan.

Then he turned his eyes and blinked: "Why is there a girl?" ”

"It's the wife of the old ancestor......" When Lu Shi introduced Ding Ruoyu, he only felt that his scalp was numb.

"It turned out to be Madame, so it doesn't matter. Next, you need to fill all the muscles of the ancestor, and being seen by an inconsequential woman on the side will damage the reputation of the ancestor! "Ling Shansha has a presence.

Ding Ruoyu saw that Lu Shi was also beside him, nodding again and again in agreement, and couldn't laugh or cry.

These demons, called demons in vain, are outrageously "clean and self-conscious" one by two, as if anyone rarely looks at them, and they care more about the so-called innocence than women......

"I'll go out now, I can't help much anyway, you continue." Thinking that it would not be good for her to stay any longer, she rushed to the door, lifted the curtain and disappeared without a trace.

The three of them looked at each other in the cellar, and Ling Shan took the lead in breaking the deadlock and said, "The old ancestor really looks like that imitation!" ”

"It's the other way around, it should be the one who looks like an ancestor!" Lu Shi hurriedly corrected it, for fear of causing dissatisfaction with Lihong.

As a result, the other party didn't care about these at all, and unleashed the transparent barrier on the jade coffin to signal that they could start.

====== dividing line ======

Ling Shan lit all the lights in the cellar, lifted Lihong's sleeves and looked at it, and said to Lu Shi who leaned over: "The ancestor's situation this time is too special, it was dissolved by the law into this appearance, and it is much more difficult to recover than you did that time." ”

Seeing that he had stopped talking again, Lu Shi hurriedly urged.

"Still, I'll do my best," Ling Shan Zhengse said, "Seven days and seven nights, I have to go out to replenish my energy first, and then give me seven days and seven nights, and no one can come close to disturb me." Otherwise, once something goes wrong......"

"No once, you are only responsible for repairing, and I will take care of the rest!" Lu Shi immediately interrupted him, and his words were sonorous and powerful.

Ling Shan nodded, and began to walk out shoulder to shoulder with him, saying as he walked, "What's delicious in Xiangyun City?" ”

"I'll prepare you twenty sugar canes, is that enough?" Lushi Road.

The barrier was sealed again, and Li Hong also walked out.

The three of them climbed upstairs one after another, and Ding Ruoyu, who was guarding the firewood room, ignored the first two and jumped directly in front of him.

"So fast?" She exclaimed.

Lihong shook her head and walked to her room, telling her that it would not officially start until tomorrow night.

Ding Ruoyu followed all the way, seeing him walking with one heavy foot and one light foot, hesitating for a long time whether to support him, and finally planned to step forward, he had already come to the door.

"If it's okay, I'll go back to the room first......" Ding Ruoyu saw that he was rummaging through his clothes and pointed to the door.

The movement of Li Hong's hand stopped, he suddenly got up, leaned on the cabinet and looked at him and asked, "Last time I met Yuexu, why didn't you use the spar I gave you as a defense?" ”

Ding Ruoyu, who was about to withdraw, was stunned, reached into his arms, felt out an object embedded with a spare, and said slowly: "I forgot ......"

"Next time, remember to use it." Seeing that she had been carrying it with her, Lihong seemed to smile, turned around and continued to rummage things.

Although his presence would not have threatened his life even if it was discovered, thankfully, she did not use it that time.

If Yuexu saw that she was carrying a magic weapon, she would definitely have endless troubles.

But for someone else......

He didn't want her to have a chance to save her life, but waste it in vain.

Ding Ruoyu closed the door and walked out, still immersed in Fang Cai's words.

He did laugh, didn't he?

Accustomed to his cold and silent appearance after turning into dry bones, this smile is really difficult to get used to.

It was almost time, and Ding Ruoyu felt tired. It would be nice if there was the kind of refreshing elixir refined by the floating boat, otherwise it would not be a way to go on like this.

She looked at the booklet that recorded the formations and runes on the shelves in her room, and secretly said that she had to learn alchemy again if she had time. There seem to be a lot of treasures in Lihong that he thinks are useless, what if she refines something good one day?

In the afternoon of the next day, Lu Shi and Ling Shan came back and told her not to go to the cellar to disturb Lihong's body repair for the next seven days. Not long after Ding Ruoyu should go down, he led Lu Shi to see Lou Xue and the others, and everyone was in place from beginning to end.

"Little apprentice, who is that man? Commanding. After he went to the cellar to check the wind, Lou Xue held the peony fan and half-hid his face, measuring the tunnel.

"It's to help repair Li Yun's body." Ding Ruoyu thought about it and found a more appropriate statement.

Lou Xue nodded thoughtfully, and said to Zong Mingze who followed behind: "Don't hear it, don't go to the cellar!" ”

"Okay." Zong Mingze agreed with a smile, he has now completely become Lou Xue's follower.

At dusk, another guest arrived, looking for the Lu stone.

"Say the same with me." Ding Ruoyu went out to meet guests. Before leaving, Lu Shi asked her to help with the rest of the affairs, and she agreed.

"It's Priest Sui Han and Miss Chen, they met a team of heavenly soldiers two miles away from the stronghold, did they send someone to support?" The demon man who came in had no extra nonsense, and straightforwardly stated the situation he encountered.

Ding Ruoyu frowned, no one had told her about these things, everyone treated her as a child and didn't let her worry about other things.

"I'll go to the stronghold with you." Ding Ruoyu didn't respond immediately, and said to Lou Xue that something was wrong, so he hurried to the outskirts of the city with the demon man.

The sky was dark, and hazy stars had risen on the edges. By the time they arrived, the starlight had become brighter and clearer.

But at tea time, the wasteland was stained with blood.

Sui Han protected a girl who looked about the same age as Ding Ruoyu, and carried a long sword that pierced into the ground two or three inches, and soon died.

On the other side, two men and a woman walked slowly, the woman was still holding a piano in her hand, and was playing a beautiful and seductive tune, forcing the other party to be even more uncertain and break out in a cold sweat.

Far away, Ding Ruoyu said to the demon man: "You call people to prepare first, and I'll go over and see what their situation is." ”

She crept closer to the few bunkers in the wasteland, and when she heard the sound of the piano, she was suddenly stunned.

This method of losing the soul of the piano sound in the lower three ways must have come from the hand of the blood swallow who played "Gentle Township" in their obsidian hall back then.

When I looked closer, it was her.

Looking at the other middle-aged man next to her, although he had only seen a few times at the ceremony, Ding Ruoyu recognized that it was the Protector of the Thick Earth who should have been imprisoned in the lowest dungeon of the Witch Sect for the rest of his life.

The man had shaved his beard, and she barely saw it.

The third person, with a cape, wore a hat with black gauze hanging down in the middle of summer, as if he didn't want to be seen by others.

"I didn't expect you to chase this all the time." After a moment of pranayama, Sui Han's breathing gradually calmed down, and he smiled helplessly.

"Running to the ends of the earth will kill you." The man in the hat replied coldly.

Ding Ruoyu was thinking about how to intervene between them and easily take away Sui Han, but he noticed that at this moment, he suddenly turned his face to the girl who followed closely behind Sui Han.

Even in the dark of night, she could see the face clearly, almost exactly the same face as Ni Shang in the painting.

Who is she?

Ding Ruoyu went through this question again, and then returned to the battle situation in front of him, and Houtu had already begun to move.

She immediately felt like the ground was shaking, as if all the bunkers she could hide from would be crushed to the ground. A strong sense of oppression rushed in all directions indiscriminately, and she couldn't open her eyes.

Over there, the girl, who were his direct opponents, had passed out and could not struggle.

Sui Han let go of the sword in his hand, leaned over and picked her up, instantly swept a few feet away and put her down, returned to the same place, pulled out the sword in the field, and held it flat and pointed at the thick soil.

The wind has suddenly changed.

The wind mixed with the sand on the ground, forming whirlpools. The whirlpool continued to combine and merge, turning larger and larger, and soon became a huge storm connecting the sky and the earth.

The girl who was carried to the back was subjected, and a transparent wind shield with a faint golden light appeared, isolating it from the violent storm.

Ding Ruoyu looked at the thin wind shield, and said in his heart that it was still too close to the main battlefield, and I was afraid that it would not last long to be broken.

Sure enough, after a few rounds of fighting, the wind shield was shattered by the aftershocks of the impact. In the next moment, with a "bang", Sui Han pulled out his hand in the battle, and once again took a wind shield to guard outside, but he was attacked by the other party's fierce attack.

Casting spells for a new wind shield will still affect the battle and distract him.

Ding Ruoyu calculated the distance and the perspective of several people on the battlefield, seized the opportunity to move to a tricky angle, and prepared to take advantage of the storm to grab out of the northwest corner next time, and escape with the girl, so as not to delay Sui Han to fight them.

The storm hit, and there was a cloud of smoke and dust, so that people could hardly open their eyes.

Ding Ruoyu also set up a wind shield, followed the wind like flying, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the girl's side unconsciously.

She reached out to crack the other party's wind shield, but was violently bounced back, her fingers were red, and a crunch sounded sound. Seeing that the storm was about to turn away and she was about to be exposed, she had to grit her teeth, her left palm was the golden Celestial Clan's mental power, and her right palm emitted demonic energy, and at the same time, it acted on the wind shield set by Sui Han in equal amounts, and the repulsive attributes collided in an instant explosion, and finally ripped the wind shield open a huge opening, making a violent roar.

Ignoring the attention of others, Ding Ruoyu stopped her waist and picked up the girl, got into the wind shield she had set up, and ran away.

This time, she didn't even have time to cover up, and Sui Han was fighting with others, and she couldn't afford to take care of her. After thinking about it, he understood that it must be the helper arranged by Lihong and the others.

Seeing that the abandoned building was getting closer and closer, and it was still a little bit away, in front of him, he was suddenly stopped by a tall figure, and he almost ran headlong without controlling the pace of running.

Ding Ruoyu stopped suddenly, and there were two deep footprints on the ground.

She looked up at the other party, it was the man wearing the hat, but she didn't know that at this moment, half of the face covered by the hat curtain appeared in shock.

A long staff, appearing in the void, solidified little by little from beginning to end, into a solid body, held in the man's palm.

Looking at the scepter, Ding Ruoyu's left heart ached faintly.

That night, wasn't she pierced a huge transparent hole by Yuexu with the same scepter?

She really remembers this magic weapon very well.

Taking a deep breath, as if knowing that the other party was extremely difficult to deal with, she first sent an attack signal to the demons in the abandoned building, and then quickly took out the spar that Li Honggang told her to remember to use in times of crisis the night before, and injected a trace of mental power into it.

"Hum—"

It was as if a giant bell had been struck, and there was a deafening sound.

A bronze translucent shroud centered on her and the girl on her back, forming a protective barrier about a foot in diameter.

The purple lightning condensed on the man's staff in front of him arrived in an instant, slamming into the barrier, almost killing her.

But right now, the surging purple lightning only jumped a few times on the surface of the sphere, making a crackling and scorching sound, and then disappeared without a trace, smashing into the cotton like a giant fist, unable to set off the slightest wave.

The other party did not give up the attack because of this moment's setback, and the electric light that hit was even more violent.

"Floating boat, you are really alive!" The man roared angrily, and finally, as if he finally understood that the spell was ineffective, he picked up his staff and struck the edge of the enchantment.

Ding Ruoyu put down the girl behind him, knowing that the other party couldn't beat him, his face became more and more calm, he looked at him and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Who else could this cold and arrogant attitude be but that woman?

The man lifted his hat, revealing a strange face that people will never forget for the rest of their lives, and sneered: "Who do you say I am?" ”

Ding Ruoyu stared at him for a long time and didn't recognize it, so he had to stretch out his hand and gesture to cover half of his metal face, this time he vaguely recognized it, and hesitated: "Your Majesty the Witch Emperor?" ”

The other party laughed wildly, laughed enough, and stroked the amethyst ball at the top of the staff and said, "Witch Emperor, it's really a long-lost title......"

Ding Ruoyu looked at his terrifying appearance, his heart was furious, hoping that someone would stop him or divert his attention.

As everyone knows, her waiting demeanor is reflected in Liuyan's eyes, and she becomes a casual and despised look.
