Chapter 81: Underground Operations (1)

Zhang Shanyi looked confused, and did not understand what Ding Lingxiu meant.

Ding Lingxiu looked at the steel rat with a smile and said:

"Brother Mouse, you must understand me."

The steel rat looked at Ding Lingxiu helplessly, and said angrily:

"Nonsense, you mean you want the old man to go back to the Sanctuary to give you a message?"

Ding Lingxiu arched his hand and said:

"Brother Mouse, you are so understanding, you have to work!"

The steel rat shrugged his shoulders and replied angrily:

"What you said is easy, although we live in the Holy Domain, we have never been to the Heavenly Palace, and it is not so easy to find this Mighty Ghost King."

Ding Lingxiu thought for a while and said:

"Brother Mouse, it is precisely because of the difficulty that I entrusted you with this. Other demons, which one do you say, I can trust him to leave this matter to him. Brother Mouse, as an elder, now that the next life is in great trouble, whether you can get out of it is up to you, Brother Mouse, you can't die without help. ”

The steel rat waved his hand helplessly and said:

"Hey! I love to hear that, and I can really help you do it. Besides, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, there is a difficulty, even if it is to see your father's face, can Lao An shirk it? ”

Ding Lingxiu was overjoyed and said happily:

"Thank you, Brother Mouse, you wait, I'll write a letter to explain the situation to the Mighty Ghost King, you take it with you, just find a way to give it to the Mighty Ghost King."

"Okay, hurry up and get ready."

Ding Lingxiu held a cigarette between the corners of his mouth, picked up his pen and began to write a letter, he briefly talked about his experience with Zhang Shanyi, focusing on the process of the robbery of the colorful stone pillar and the framing of the two.

Just as he was writing in a hurry, something seemed to break in from the far side of the cavern, and began to dig frantically, and the sound of many shovels and shovels was heard, although it sounded far away, but it was very clear through the soil layer. Ding Lingxiu stopped listening and found that the sound was getting louder and louder, and more and more, coming from all directions.

Immediately afterward, two high-pitched cries suddenly came from the distant cavern, reaching through the layers of earth, making them sound like the terrifying cries of a frightened baby.

Ding Lingxiu judged from the voice that it was likely that these excavating ghosts had touched the ghost talisman set by Zhang Shanyi, and they made such a terrible scream. Thinking of this, Ding Lingxiu hurriedly finished writing the letter and said:

"Oh no, they've already chased after me, and now there's no way, we have to keep running."

Zhang Shanyi frowned and said:

"But Brother Ding, this Rat Brother is still going to the Holy Realm to deliver letters, why do you continue to use its demonic energy to dig holes?"

Ding Lingxiu also felt a little anxious, because in this situation, it wouldn't take long for the ghosts digging holes outside to find them, and if they didn't escape, they would definitely die. And if you want to escape, you have to borrow the demonic energy of the steel rat, and it will be delayed for a long time.

The sound of ping-pong clashes between iron and stone was endless, and the two of them were confused, Ding Lingxiu no longer hesitated, handed the letter to the steel rat and said:

"Brother Mouse, you put this letter away first, and hurry back to the Holy Domain to find the Mighty Ghost King, and we will hide here and wait for them."

The steel rat felt that something was wrong and said:

"Young master, the enemy outside here should find this place immediately, if you don't run away and wait for death in this underground, then I'm afraid that the old man hasn't had time to hand over the letter to the Mighty Ghost King, and it is estimated that you will encounter an accident first."

Ding Lingxiu patted it on the shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, Brother Mouse, we have built many fake passages just now, and they won't be able to find us for a while, and even if they do, I will still be able to compete with them for a while with the Hundred Ghost Diagram. Moreover, even if we escape from the underground and are not familiar with the environment of the underworld, it is likely to be more dangerous than it is now, and if we don't keep it, we will fall into the net. ”

The steel rat turned out to be a letter, thought for a moment and said:

"Okay, then take care, the old man is gone."

The steel rat felt that Ding Lingxiu would not change his mind, so he didn't say anything more, put the letter into his arms, and turned into a red light and merged into the Hundred Ghost Diagram.

After the steel rat left, Ding Lingxiu and Zhang Shanyi looked at each other, and both of them nervously listened to the sounds around them.

"Brother Ding, we dug so many passages, they shouldn't come in too quickly."

Ding Lingxiu nodded, holding a cigarette that was about to burn out, and replied:

"We bury each passage with soil, if they just start digging from the very beginning of the hole to dig down, there is no way to identify which one is the hole we dug and which one is the original soil layer, even if you go in the right direction by luck, you will be attacked by your ghost charm, in such a narrow passage, the number of people who can carry out excavation operations will not be large, if someone is hit by the ghost charm, it will make their excavation extremely difficult. So if they want to find us in a short time, unless they use a digging machine, I don't believe that there is a Lanxiang specialty in this prefecture! ”

Zhang Shanyi was a little more relaxed after listening to it, but the sound of digging in the distance of the digging hole was still incessant, disturbing people's minds.

But as Ding Lingxiu guessed, these sounds didn't last long before digging farther away, because many of the tunnels they had dug were covered with earth, and these ghosts couldn't identify the route at all after digging up, Ding Lingxiu and Zhang Shanyi were like getting into a big bubble, and the route they walked was immediately closed, and these ghosts really couldn't find the right route for a while.

While the two of them were sorting out their equipment, they posted a few more ghost charms around them. The two of them waited nervously, and after about ten minutes, the sound did not come close but gradually disappeared, the first thing that disappeared was the sound of digging, and then, even the voices of the ghosts disappeared, and it seemed that they all withdrew from the ground, or went to a farther place.

Zhang Shanyi breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Finally leaving, it looks like we should be able to wait until the steel rat arrives at the Mighty Ghost King."

Ding Lingxiu remained silent, and continued to listen to the movements around him, as if he felt a little strange.

"Ayi, there's something wrong with this."

"What's wrong? They must have not found a route, so they all retreated. ”

Ding Lingxiu thought for a while and said:

"It doesn't seem right, if they really can't find the route, they should continue to look for a while, how long has it been! And it won't retreat so suddenly. They disappeared so quickly that it felt a bit like ......"

Before Ding Lingxiu could finish speaking, Zhang Shanyi saw Ding Lingxiu's whole person tremble, and then, this not too large space trembled violently, and a large amount of sand, gravel and soil fell from the soil layer above.

"This ...... Brother Ding, what's wrong? Why does it look like an earthquake? Zhang Shanyi also trembled up and down, and some were unsteady on his feet.

"Oh no, these guys don't really use excavators, do they?" Ding Lingxiu was dumbfounded, and a more violent digging sound was heard in the distance.

The terrifying excavation sound sounded like thunder, and the underground space began to shake violently, and at first Ding Lingxiu thought that they used an excavator, after all, the technology of the underworld is also very developed, even if an excavator or a machine that can drill into the ground is not unusual. Dante found that the source of the terrifying sound did not seem to be mechanical, but rather a living thing.

Both Ding Lingxiu and Zhang Shanyi could clearly hear that there seemed to be two huge claws making an extremely regular digging sound in the soil layer, and each blow made the entire soil layer rub violently. This claw should be so hard that when it rubs against the sand, it makes a high-pitched and piercing sound, sounding something similar:

"Squeak-yo-yo-"

"Oh no, this isn't an excavator or an excavator at all, must this be some kind of monster that can dig the earth, and it won't be small." Zhang Shanyi naturally heard that this voice was not coming from the machine, and couldn't help but be a little nervous.

Ding Lingxiu swallowed his saliva and said:

"No matter what it is, we are now cornered, there is only one battle, and it is certain that we will fight, but we must try to delay time."

"Okay, now that I have all the magic weapons in my hand, and the aura has been mobilized, since we are cornered, let's fight against this fake Cui Fujun."

Ding Lingxiu picked up the Hundred Ghost Diagram and lightly dipped the cuckoo's blood in his hand, ready to summon demons and fight at any time.

The reason why it is not summoned immediately is because the demons in the Hundred Ghost Diagram have a time limit on the time and number of times they can be summoned, and any demon in the Hundred Ghosts Diagram can only be summoned in the human world for a maximum of one hour, and if they still do not return to the Holy Domain after an hour, they will be scattered and removed from the Three Realms.

There is also a limit to the number of times you can be summoned per day, up to three times a day, but after you have already summoned once, a second summon will consume ten times the amount of Cuckoo Blood and reduce the summoning time by half. And when summoned for the third time, it will consume a hundred times the cuckoo blood, and reduce the time by half.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Ding Lingxiu would not summon demons for too long, let alone summon the same demon to fight frequently.

"Brother Ding, depending on the situation, this demon must be an earth-attribute demon, let's better attack with a wood-attribute aura, but my wood-attribute talisman only has a wooden armor talisman, I don't know if it can be used."

"Wooden Armor?" Ding Lingxiu looked at Zhang Shanyi strangely, although he didn't know much about the spells of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain faction, he had still heard of this wooden armor talisman.

The so-called wooden armor talisman is a kind of charm that can mobilize the aura of wood attributes through guò and turn one's own clothes into wood. It was originally invented and used by the Celestial Master Zhang Daoling to cooperate with his Taoist technique of sprinkling beans into soldiers. At that time, the Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling was fighting with a ghost-level demon, and the number of minions under this demonic ghost was extremely large, and all of them were gathered on an isolated island in the water, which was difficult to deal with. In order to prevent himself from rushing forward and going deep alone, Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling wanted to use the beans to create a sneak attack opportunity for himself. He summons Bean Soldiers to the front and gives them the lead, but these Bean Soldiers can't swim and can't enter the island. So, after the Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling performed the Dao of sprinkling beans into soldiers, he pasted wooden armor charms on the bean soldiers, and the armor of the bean soldiers all became wooden, and they swam across the river to surprise the enemy, and when these bean soldiers came ashore, Zhang Daoling immediately used the three-flavor real fire, ignited the armor of the bean soldiers, and defeated the enemy.

However, although this wooden armor talisman is a unique talisman of the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain, it can only be used in some special circumstances, and it is not used at all, so it has almost no practical effect, and it cannot be defended or attacked. Ding Lingxiu thought to himself that Zhang Shanyi naturally knew these things better than himself, and he couldn't help but be a little confused.

Zhang Shanyi saw Ding Lingxiu's confusion, and said with a smile:

"Hehe, Brother Ding, don't worry, this wooden armor talisman of Poor Dao is also specially made!" RG
