Chapter 9: Into the Iron City at Night
Huang Ying's eyes rippled slightly, and she just opened her lips to inquire, but she heard Du Yuan's smoky voice from upstairs, "Brother Bai, come and take a look!" ”
Bai Wei was stunned for a moment, and replied, "It's here!" He turned to Huang Ying and smiled, "I'll talk to you again if I have a chance another day, don't be sad." After speaking, he swept up to the second floor like a gust of wind.
When I stepped into the door, I saw Xiao Du and Furong looking around the green night on the table. "What's wrong with him?"
"Brother Bai, let's see if the medicine is wrong." Xiao Du pulled Bai Wei to sit down on the chair, "It's better not to take the medicine than to take it, it's even more finished." ”
"Isn't that nice, eh? Let me see why my eyes don't move. Bai Wei bent down and took a closer look, only to find the clue, Xiao Mojun's body was lying there stiffly, but his green eyes were wide open, and his eyes didn't turn for a while, as if they were glued together. Green night, green night. He touched his back, "What's wrong with you, you're stupid." ”
"It's all my fault." Furong-kun blamed herself, "I knew I should have taken it and tried it first." ”
"It's okay, don't worry." Bai Wei was very calm, "Even if you take it first, it won't help, in essence, you are human, and Qingye is a python, after all, it is different, not to mention that the medicine in the ghost world must be refined for the characteristics of ghosts, even if we try it, it doesn't make much sense." In my opinion, most of the time this medicine is too strong, and Qingye can't adapt to it for a while, so it's good to digest and dissolve it slowly. ”
"Are you sure?" Xiao Du said with anxious eyes.
"I'm sure." Bai Wei was very convinced, "Don't forget, Qingye and I are both from the demon world, to put it bluntly, we are all fierce beasts, at least there are some people with a heart." ”
"Oh." Du Yuanyuan said in his heart, what kind of heart does a tiger and a python have...... However, when he heard that Bai Wei was so determined, he also relieved himself, "Then give him some more water to melt the medicine in his stomach." After a pause, he asked a little confusedly, "Brother Bai, don't you go to the thatched house after turning into a snake in the green night?" ”
"Uh, this, come on, what are you staring at other people......" Bai Wei stared at him with a little black line.
"It's not staring, it's weird." Du Yuanyuan said, "You see, he has drunk so much wine, it is completely beyond the range of his body's tolerance, but from last night to now, he has not gone to the toilet, I put him on the ground and let him shh him for not urinating, could it be that alcohol causes liver and kidney failure." ”
"No, it won't." Bai Wei shook his head again and again, "You are too worried, no matter how bad the night is, it is also a demon, and it will not be so fragile, besides, how do you know that people are not going." ”
"I've been with him all the time." Du Yuanyuan is still not at ease, "I don't know if he wets the bed." ”
"Maybe you'll be done urinating and dry again, and you won't be able to see anything when you wake up." Bai Wei rolled his eyes and smiled weirdly, "You slept with Qingye in your arms, alas, I can't guarantee that I will pee on your clothes." ”
…… Furong Jun smiled helplessly while feeding Qingye water to drink, took a silk scarf and wiped the water droplets at the corner of the little snake's mouth, and said, "Brother Du, do you want to take Qingye with you at night." ”
"Belt." Du Yuanyuan said without hesitation.
"What are you taking him for?" Bai Wei frowned, and said a little reproachfully, "He is different now, it is extremely dangerous to enter the palace, you and I are too busy to take care of ourselves, how can we still be distracted to take care of Qingye, he is sick, you just let him rest in the inn, and we will come back after the incident, there are a few of them who can't be relieved." ”
"I'm not worried, but I'm more relieved to bring it." Du Yuanyuan explained with a decision, "Otherwise, I always feel that there is something in my heart and I can't concentrate." ”
"Brother Bai, it's better to let him take the green night with him, so that he will always be distracted by worrying." Fleur-kun suggested, "After all, Qing Ye's current situation doesn't allow him to be reckless, as long as he finds a safe place to hide and rest, you think." ”
"Hey, you two, since you have said so, what else can I say, just take it with you." Bai Wei shook his head and sighed, "If you don't see each other for a day, it's like every other autumn." ”
"Brother Bai really knows my heart very well." Du Yuanyuan laughed, "It's not too early, let's go to the street to buy a few weapons, and buy two sets of night clothes, since we have decided to act, we will do it as soon as possible." ”
"Hmm." Bai Wei nodded, looking at Xiao Mojun with a wistful gaze, "Xiao Cheng, you put that little cloak on him, and then find a warm and stable place for him." ”
"I know, you can put a hundred hearts on this." Du Yuanyuan stroked Qingye's little head, "Good girl, let's set off and get dressed first." ”
After drinking some water, Xiao Mojun's body didn't seem to be so stiff, and the condition of the line from beginning to end had improved, at least the tail could swing slightly from side to side, Xiao Du and Furong put up and down their hands to dress Qingye, buckle the hood, wrap him tightly, and the three of them left the inn. Before leaving, Furong explained to Fu Feng and Han Li, who were left behind, that if they still didn't come back tomorrow night, they would not wait any longer, leave Fengdu quickly, and do their best to escape from the ghost world. In such a situation, no one can guarantee that they will return safely. They didn't even envision what it would be like to fight the Immortal, they only knew that this path had to go on this way. Even if you can't defeat the Ghost Emperor completely, you must do your best to weaken his mana in order to find a way out.
The curfew has not yet arrived, and the open streets are still bustling with people. I inquired along the way, and the southernmost part of Fengdu was the Iron City, a place where the imperial capital specialized in forging weapons. As in every country, such areas of manual labor were often inhabited by people of poor and humble origins, who were derogatorily called untouchables. As the distance from the iron city narrowed, the air also became turbid, and countless dust particles seemed to float in the air, inhaling into the lungs every time they breathed, making people itch and cough. The sound of the hammer echoed under the dark night sky, gradually clearing away. Due to the time constraints, they could not forge swords according to their hearts, so they could only choose ready-made weapons, and when they saw the entrance of the iron city, the three of them lifted their collars, covered half of their faces with black masks, and walked in silence with their heads down. Compared to the rest of Fengdu, the guards of the Iron City are relatively loose, there are not too many guards patrolling, and the crowds coming and going are quite complicated, like flowing water.
In front of an armory shop called Oni Zheng, several people stopped and watched for a moment, this shop was much larger than the surrounding scale, and there were also a large number of craftsmen, and they were in full swing forging blades at the moment. Just standing at the door, I felt a wave of heat swept from the store, accompanied by the sizzling sound of the cooling weapon, the store was foggy, * the craftsmen on the upper body were drenched in sweat, and the strong arms hammered the blade after the water was brewed, forged into the established shape, and then handed over to the next process of flint polishing, and finally finished product.
"I think that's it." Du said in a low voice, asking Furong and Bai Wei with his eyes.
