Chapter 119: Reputation
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 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, and it came to life in an instant, 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." β
Ding Ruoyu looked at the box that was also empty at the same time, and whispered, "When will he be able to fully recover?" β
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 large hole half a person high, and a slender man crawled out of the inside, holding 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 in an instant he 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?" β
"Body remodeling is like that, and forbearance is over." Lu Shi paused and thought about it and replied.
He was also in pain at that time, and he died for several days in a row, but fortunately, with Ling Shan's help, he didn't need to do it himself, otherwise he might be even more embarrassed than this ancestor showed.
In a moment, Li Hong had already climbed up, climbed the edge of the jade coffin and shouted at Lu Shi, "Call Ling Shan!" β
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?" β
"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! β
"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 naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve.
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. β
Ding Ruoyu nodded suddenly in realization, and said, "Then according to the age of mortals, how many decades have you lived?" β
The other party didn't think about it and said, "One thousand five hundred and ninety-seven years is still two months away." β
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? β
Li Hong looked at her in surprise and said lightly: "Friend." β
"Just friends?" Ding Ruoyu said in disbelief.
Li Hong hung his face, and he couldn't see the emotion in his eyes. After a while, he asked in a low voice, "It's not a friend, what else can it be?" β
Hearing this question, Ding Ruoyu couldn't help but laugh and muttered in a low voice: "Fuzhou told me that I and she are two ways of existence. So, we're friends too? β
"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? β
"Could it be that you are still a child until now?" After Ding Ruoyu finished speaking, he couldn't wait to slap himself twice.
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." β
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?" β
"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!" β
"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.
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." β
Seeing that he had stopped talking again, Lu Shi hurriedly urged.
"Still, I'll do my best," Ling Shan said, "Seven days and seven nights, I have to go out to replenish my energy first, and then give me enough time for 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?" β
"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.
