Chapter Seventy-One: Entering the Tower
Seeing the figure of the Demon Lord disappear outside the gate, Qin Zhen hurriedly entered the house.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Gu Jie and Jiang Qi at a loss in front of Yudong's bed, anxious as if they were on fire! Qin Zhen hurriedly grabbed Gu Jie and shouted, "Old Gu, it's okay, you can stop for a while!" It was the Demon Lord who came just now, Yudong was fine, and he would wake up in half an hour. ”
"Huh? The Demon Lord is here? How did I not know? Lao Gu asked with a puzzled expression. This made Jiang Qi's face next to him very unpleasant. I guess dude is thinking, 'I don't know, can you know???' ’
However, Jiang Qi didn't say it, he just asked Qin Zhen what was the purpose of the Demon Lord's coming, and why Yudong became like this.
Qin Zhen also told him all the process from seeing the Demon Lord to the Demon Lord being annoyed by the old man and running away. After listening to this, everyone fell silent, feeling that this Hundred Ghost Demon Lord was really terrifying, and it was easy to kill a few of them.
They didn't have anything else to do now, the only thing they had to do was to guard Yudong and wait for him to wake up.
Half an hour later, Yudong really opened his eyes "on time". Qin Zhen and the others hurriedly surrounded and asked how Yudong was feeling.
After confirming that Yudong was really fine, Qin Zhen said with a little anger: "Xia Yudong, please remember that you are not alone in the future, okay?" Why don't you have any team spirit at all? The Demon Lord appeared, and you seem to have talked to each other, and you ate what he gave you without permission, and that's it. But can you please sue us later? I woke up early in the morning and saw that you were standing up here. If you don't know what's going on, it's time to find a pot to burn paper! ”
Yudong rubbed his temples. A little tired, he said, "I thought you wouldn't be able to get up that early." ”
"Hey! You're really considerate! Afraid of delaying our sleep, aren't you afraid that we will all die in a hurry? Look at how anxious you are. Sweat down his neck, and his face was full of oil. If I come in a little later, you'll be fine when you wake up, he'll be a fly. Qin Zhen said sarcastically. At the same time, it also ushered in a big white eye that Gu Jie was not happy with.
If this were the original, it is estimated that Yudong would not have listened to Qin Zhen's nagging and complaints, and would have ignored it if he turned around and walked away. But today, instead of leaving with an indifferent attitude, he nodded seriously and said, "I know." ”
This made Qin Zhen feel cold all over his body! How could this thing be so abnormal? Is it really 'a man who is about to die, and his words are good'? Just thought of this. Qin Zhen immediately spitted "bah, bah" dozens of times in his heart! And tell yourself, don't think nonsense, the blessed have their own God! A qiē will be very smooth, and there will definitely be no accidents!
At this time, Yudong stood up, patted Lao Gu's shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, don't follow over there, just rest here and wait for me!" ”
Without waiting for Lao Gu and Jiang Qi to speak, Qin Zhen yelled very firmly: "I don't!!" ”
"......" Yudong did not speak.
Qin Zhen shouted excitedly: "Just finished speaking, you are not alone. Not alone! You're just not taking it seriously, are you? Can we all rest assured that you will go to that tower by yourself? What if one of them is unhappy and eats you directly as a sashimi? With his demonic appearance, how do you know that he doesn't live forever by eating people? Alright, stop talking nonsense! It wasn't a problem for us to sleep in the open and spend two nights in the wilderness. On one's mind. The last thing you see before you enter the tower is us, and the first thing you see when you come out will be us! We are waiting for you. ”
Yu Dong hesitated for a moment, frowned and said, "Why do you need to suffer together? ”
"Nonsense! Not together when you sin. Can you still be considered friends? Qin Zhen retorted forcefully.
Seeing that on this point of view, Qin Zhen and the three of them were very unified. Yu Dong didn't say anything more. I nodded and went straight to go.
When they walked to the edge of the cliff again, Qin Zhen suddenly remembered the tree that Yudong had said that could walk...... I don't know why. Suddenly I felt sadness in it. I couldn't help but stop Yudong and said in a deep voice: "Xia Yudong, you promise me something." ”
Yu Dong stood in front, turned his head to look at Qin Zhen, and replied simply, "Say." ”
"Come back alive......" Qin Zhen's voice was very low when he said this. He couldn't express his psychological feelings at the moment, so he could only use these four words as a simple request to summarize what he wanted to say. I have experienced a lot of deaths, and my friends have left one after another, and they have all slept forever under the yellow sand of the desert. Now, Qin Zhen didn't want to watch Yudong leave forever.
"Hmm." Yuto replied softly.
At this time, probably infected by the atmosphere, Lao Gu also said awkwardly: "Yes, Dong Shao." You're going to be back! We're waiting for you just outside that tower gate! You get the bird curse done, and then we're off for the next stop. ”
Speaking out of Lao Gu's mouth, it has automatically blocked the possibility of failure. Yu Dong nodded after hearing this, and patted Lao Gu and Jiang Qi on the shoulders. He whispered, "Let's go." ”
It didn't take long for them to come to the bewitching Nanzhao Pagoda again. At this time, the Demon Lord was already standing in front of the tower gate and waiting for them. From a distance, the demonic appearance of the demon lord is integrated with the body of the tower, and there is no feeling of incompatibility at all. The flowers bloomed one after another, and the wide black robe of the Demon Lord danced lightly in the wind, standing proudly in front of this strange Nanzhao Pagoda.
After seeing Yudong and them coming, the Demon Lord didn't say much, he just looked at Yudong with a cold gaze. It wasn't until he didn't see any wavering in Yudong's eyes that he retracted his gaze and said, "Okay." Since you are so resolute, then keep your will as strong as you are now, and enter the tower. ”
Yudong let out a 'hmm', turned around and smiled at Qin Zhen and them lightly, reassuring them. Then he walked resolutely into the dark tower gate.
At this time, the Demon Lord also followed Yudong to the tower gate. When he just walked in, he suddenly stood sideways, turned his head and smiled evilly, and said gloomily: "Three days." After three days, the witchcraft ritual will be complete and he will be able to come out. Of course, if he still has a life. After saying that, I didn't see him make a move, and the heavy tower door slowly closed by itself!
The last thing Qin Zhen and the others saw from the middle of the tower gate was the Demon Lord's demonic smiling side face and his long flying hair.
Until the tower gate was completely closed, the three of them were still standing there stunned and couldn't come back to their senses. The feeling of being at a loss was even worse than when I couldn't find the Demon Lord in the first place. At this moment, the three of them seemed to be one of the surrounding stone statues, just silently looking at the gate of the Nanzhao Pagoda, motionless.
After a while, Lao Gu muttered: "You said that he is such a good person as the Demon Lord, why am I panicked when I saw him?" Do you think he really made Dong Shao into a sashimi and ate ......? ”
"No, it won't." Qin Zhen replied decisively. He didn't want to think about a terrible possibility now, he only forced himself to believe that Yudong would definitely come out alive in three days.
"Well, I don't think so." Old Gu said more firmly than Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen asked curiously, "Why?" ”
"No soy sauce and wasabi ......"
“……”
For people like Gu Jie, Qin Zhen already felt that there was really nothing to say. The reason why he was so sure was not because of faith, but because he felt that the Demon Lord would not eat sashimi lightly......
Qin Zhen simply stopped talking, sat on the stone steps in front of the tower door and began to smoke with his head down. They had already discussed it, and the three days were here. Lao Gu was responsible for fetching water and food back and forth, and of course, the main thing was cigarettes. This feeling of being scared and waiting for someone outside must be like three autumns a day. It's hard not to have smoke!
Gu Jie was lying on the tower door on a whim, like a voyeur, trying to eavesdrop on the movement inside. And he also said that the three of them have to listen in shifts, don't be in case there is a fight inside, they don't know outside.
But Jiang Qi said very calmly at this time: "Old Gu, save it." The moment I opened and closed the door just now, I had already observed. Once this door is closed, it is completely cut off from the world. The material and construction determine that this door can isolate the harassment of the outside world. ”
“…… So, what to do then?! Lao Gu asked with a glare.
"Let's just wait patiently. I believe in Dong Shao! As soon as Jiang Qi's firm words fell, the hundreds of wind chimes under the corner beams of the tower rang at the same time!
Although they had already heard from Ka Yuqi beforehand, every time the Demon Lord did something, these hundreds of bronze wind chimes would ring at the same time, and the sound would be heard for miles. But at this moment, these wind chimes suddenly rang by themselves in the absence of wind, which really scared them!
A few people tacitly agreed to stand a little farther away and look carefully at the tower. All the blackiron chains were shaking, and the wind chimes on the corner beams were shaking by themselves! Just this scene, it is definitely not a force that science can explain!
Qin Zhen and the others were all dumbfounded, and muttered to themselves in a daze: "This, what the hell is going on here?" How can it be more evil than an earthquake? ”
Lao Gu was also very nervous at this time: "Those iron chains are so thick, how can they be like this?" Won't it tear the tower apart if it goes on like this? Did the Demon Lord wake up the chain inside? Or is this tower really going to grow legs to get out and about? ”
Suddenly, Jiang Qi raised his hand and motioned for them not to speak, but to listen carefully. (To be continued......)
