Chapter 801: Ran Away?
The trembling hand touched his cheek again, gently playing with the skin on his face. The dark and hard keratin skin on the face fell off little by little, revealing the delicate and delicate skin inside.
It was as if an egg had been gently peeled off its shell, revealing a snow-white color that amazed everyone. The keratinous skin on the face was removed, and although there were no eyebrows, it did not destroy Lei Ting's beauty in the slightest.
Lei Ting naturally couldn't have Qiandui Xuemei, but the few people who had seen the moment of breaking the cocoon into a butterfly were also stunned for a moment by Lei Ting's changes. Ning Yue's figure flashed, and she came to the room and came to Lei Ting with a bronze mirror in her hand.
Lei Ting looked at herself who had recovered her original appearance in the bronze mirror, and tears burst out of her eyes again, "Childe, Lei Ting has become beautiful again...... Lei Ting isn't ugly......"
"You're not ugly in the first place, but now you're just getting better!Alright, let's clean up this place, and then hide and wait for the Thunder Knife Sacrifice in three days' time. β
And Ning Yue's move was also prescient. Because at this moment, it is almost dusk. When Ning Yue was imprisoned in the wine cellar, it was still morning, so naturally someone would bring her food.
Because of the shortage of food, Leibu usually eats only two meals a day. This is still Lei Li's special care, and it is common for ordinary people to eat only once a day. However, after the person in charge of delivering the food opened the wine cellar, he was dumbfounded. Not to mention people inside, not even a single hair was found.
"Oh no...... The thieves have fledβ"
An exclamation resounded through the thunder department. Almost instantly, the entire mine department was boiling. Lei Lie was the first to rush into the wine cellar, but the wine cellar was already empty.
Lei Lie didn't want to believe it, and he didn't want to accept it. He grabbed the collar of one of the people next to him and lifted it up, "Aren't you watch......ing? What do you guys think?"
"I ...... I...... I don't know...... We've been guarding the door...... But...... But they're gone......" The person who was lifted by Lei Lie replied with a frightened face, his eyes dodging, and he kept looking around.
"You really watched all the time, and you weren't lazy in the middle?" Lei Lie asked again with a pale face.
"I ...... I...... I'm ...... at noon Dozed off for a while...... But...... The door is locked all the time......"
"Bastard!" Thunderbolt angrily threw the man straight to the ground. At this time, several elders also rushed over. Seeing that the wine cellar was empty, the Fifth Elder's face instantly became gloomy.
"Lei Lie, what other explanation do you have? I said that they were murderers, but you didn't believe them, but you wanted to defend them. And now, if they weren't murderers and thieves, why would they run?"
Lei Lie actually wanted to know, why did they flee when they were not thieves. However, these are no longer important. Lei Lie sighed softly, "Fifth Uncle, I was gullible in believing them, causing them to escape, I was wrong......"
Looking at Lei Lie's deeply devastated appearance, Wu Changlai wanted to scold him, but he couldn't scold him in his throat. Why does Lei Lie believe in people so much, and why does he defend the surname Wu in every possible way. The five elders and several elders all knew in their hearts that they were all for the Thunder Ministry, in order to renew the life of the Thunder Ministry.
The Thunder Department has reached the point of exhaustion, and for more than ten years, Ning Yue and the others have been the only outsiders who have reached the Thunder Department. They are like a life-saving straw, and Lei Lie will pull on them to death. But......
The fifth elder let out a long sigh, "Forget it...... People have run away, and we look everywhere, hoping they haven't run far. You, although you do your best for the thunder department, you can't trust others so easily, so keep an extra eye on everything!"
Several elders left, and gathered the people of the Thunder Department to start looking around. In the entire wine cellar, only Lei Lie was left alone in an instant. However, what Lei Lie was thinking about was not whether Ning Yue was afraid of crime or not, what he was thinking about was that if Ning Yue ran away, would their business still count?
Originally, Lei Lie didn't plan to use this way to keep the Thunder Dao, nor did he think about killing the Great Elder. But because of Ning Yue's arrival, Lei Lie's heart became impatient.
Once the first deal with Ning Yue was reached, Lei Lie would start his relocation plan with plenty of food and water. The target that has long been targeted by Lei Lie will be the first stop of Lei Lie's relocation clan.
When the clansmen settle down, it doesn't matter whether the next business will continue with Ning Yue. Xingchenshi is so profitable in the Central Plains, Lei Lie can do it himself. As long as the Thunder Knife is in hand, Lei Lie is not afraid of any challenges and threats.
The Thunder Department has an artifact like the Thunder Knife, but it can only stay in the Thunder Mountain, which is a waste of shame for Lei Lie. However, once the Thunder Sword was sacrificed, then Lei Lie's plan could only be put on hold. With Lei Lie's cultivation, if you want to use the Thunder Knife, you have to wait for three or even ten years.
But Lei Ministry, is there still three years, ten years? He can't wait, this plan has been waiting for more than ten years, and he doesn't want to wait for more than ten years. The Great Elder was already old, and the pedantic Great Elder was a roadblock to Lei Lie's follow-up plans.
After thinking about it, Lei Lie had no choice but to keep doing it...... But, Brother Wu, why are you running?
Lei Lie slowly raised his head and slowly glanced at the wine cellar. The lock of the gate is still fine, there is no reason why a few big living people are just gone...... Suddenly, Lei Lie's eyes froze, and there was a deep panic in his eyes.
Hurriedly went to the innermost wall to grope, and successfully opened the hidden stone door. Lei Lie hurriedly rushed into the secret passage, directly into his secret room.
The key was still placed on the table as quietly as when he left, and Lei Lie looked at every corner of the secret room, there was no difference or any other trace.
The hanging heart was slightly lowered, and Lei Lie patted his head lightly, still too sensitive. There is a secret room under the mineminium, and now the entire minefield is only known to himself. Even the elders of the Lei Department didn't know, and Ning Yue's outsiders naturally couldn't know about it.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, suddenly Lei Lie still felt uneasy and gently picked up the key and held him in his arms. He looked at the secret room again, and then slowly left.
Ning Yue is professional, and the restoration scene can naturally be done without a bad pattern. Unless it is someone who is also a professional, it is never possible to detect anomalies. Waiting for Lei Lie to leave, Ning Yue and the others came out of the hiding place.
At this time, Ning Yue slowly turned her head to look at Lei Ting, whose eyes burst out with hatred, "Only now do I believe that what you said is true." β
Lei Ting was slightly stunned, but returned to normal in an instant, silently lowered her head and couldn't see what she was thinking in her heart. It's not that Ning Yue is suspicious, but it's always right to be careful. Ning Yue has been able to survive in this world until now, thanks to his caution and not trusting others easily.
Two days passed in a flash. Lei Bu expanded the search to fifty miles, but never found Ning Yue and the others. I can't find it, and I can't do anything about it. No matter how deep the revenge is, if you want to take revenge, you must find the enemy.
Although Ning Yue and the others couldn't find it, the thunder knife sacrifice ceremony still had to be carried out. But because the Thunder Knife had been stolen and was likely to be taken away by Ning Yue, there was no need for the Thunder Knife Sacrifice Ceremony to be carried out.
The place of the altar was already crowded with people at the moment. The Thunder Knife Altar is located in a corner near the Thunder Mountain, where a lonely stone platform sits. When the stone platform was built, no one knows, because when there was a mine, these things were already there.
Everyone in the Lei Department gathered under the altar, but Lei Lie walked solemnly towards the altar in the eyes of everyone. Because although the thunder knife is not sacrificed today, it is indeed the ceremony of his thunder lie's succession as the patriarch.
The patriarch is a chore, with no privileges and no interests. But he has to work hard for the reproduction and survival of the mine. Since Lei Lie said to the outside world, the patriarch had already handed over the key to the Thunder Dao Altar when he took the young patriarch to Lei Mountain to build the foundation.
Then the inheritance ceremony of the patriarch of the Lei tribe must also require Lei Lie to open the altar with a key in order to be recognized. This is an iron law that has been passed down from generation to generation and cannot be changed.
And before the patriarch of the Thunder tribe cultivates the true secret of the Heavenly Imperial Thunder, it is also a rule that he must hand over the key to others for safekeeping. If Lei Lie didn't say that, others would doubt Lei Lie's words. If you say that, you have to show the key to prove it.
Although the elders were very dissatisfied with Lei Lie's credulity in Ning Yue and causing Lei Lie to lose the Thunder Knife. But Lei Lie is the only heir to the Thunder Ministry, and Lei Lie also promised that no matter what method is used, he will recover the Thunder Knife. This is not a difficult task for Lei Lie at all.
Lei Lie looked at the pair of eager eyes below, and there was a trace of solemnity in his eyes. Lei Lie was not a careerist, he loved his people dearly, and his people loved his tribe dearly. It's because it's deep love, so Lei Lie can't watch Lei Bu stick to the ancestral training that he doesn't even know what the meaning is.
And at this moment, the thunder department has reached a critical period of life and death. Lei Lie couldn't watch the Thunder Department die, and even after the death, the world didn't know that the Thunder Department had ever existed.
Gently, Lei Lie came to the front of the person and slowly took out the key from his arms, "The eldest brother took Xiao Ling to Lei Mountain to build a foundation, but unfortunately died under the thunder. This is the misfortune of the eldest brother, and it is the misfortune of my thunder department.
Ladies and gentlemen, think about it, we have guarded the Thunder Mountain for thousands of years, and how many patriarchs have died under the thunder? Why do we have to bear such a fate?
Once, the Great Elder told me that it was because of the ancestral teachings. Zu Xun wants us to garrison Lei Mountain, and Zu Xun wants us not to leave Lei Mountain even if we die. However, I would like to ask, what are we stationed in Thunder Mountain, and why can't we even leave Thunder Mountain even if we die?
What are our faults? What are our sins? Why are we here waiting to die, guarding a well that will keep us from dying of thirst, guarding a forest of bread that will keep us from starving?
However, I remember that thirty years ago, there were a thousand of our people. But in just 30 years, we don't even have 300 people. Where did they go? Dead...... They are all dead, because of this ancestral teaching, they are all dead.
Is this still an ancestral teaching? No! This is no longer an ancestral teaching, this is a curse! I, Lei Lie, swear here, I will not let the thunder be destroyed, and I will not succumb to the curse. I'm going to take you all to live, not only to live, but also to bring my minehead back to life.
A thousand people, just the beginning, I will make the thunder department ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand. If there will be punishment for violating the ancestral teachings, then let all the punishment be borne by me, Lei Lie. If this ancestral precept is just a curse, then let me break this curse!"
