Chapter 379: Ice and Fire

Night.

Meng's workshop.

Without the scorching fire, the busy figure and the clanging iron, only a few lonely main lamps remained, and it seemed a little lonely.

A figure stepped out of the darkness and quickly melted into the huge black shadow of the workshop.

The surroundings gradually lit up, and in the center of the workshop, a large stove more than two people tall was still burning, and some light came through the cracks in the sealed iron plates, slightly illuminating the man's face.

Shen Tiefeng!

Maybe he should be called Meng Dong?

Oh no, Meng Dong is dead, and now Shen Tiefeng is temporarily acting as the chief treasurer, no one will object, and there is no need to worry that the Meng family's huge family business is coveted by someone.

The casting masters of all the shops are Shen Tiefeng's apprentices, and the other children are also Shen Tiefeng's apprentices and grandchildren, they are the most critical personnel of the Meng family, as for the others, they are just managers hired outside, they only need someone to pay the wages, and it doesn't matter who is the boss.

The news of Meng Dong's death can be concealed for a long time, the Tang family does not dare to publicize that the Meng family's shopkeeper was killed by himself, and the bad guys are also covering this matter to death, at most, even if it lasts a long time, once the news is leaked, it will be a disaster for the Tang family and the bad people who take care of the Tang family.

Shen Tiefeng circled around the big stove, suddenly stopped, and stepped on the floor tiles in a certain order, after stepping on it, the dragon mouth decoration of the stove opened its mouth, and the pull ring contained in the mouth also fell, and the iron cable on the ring dangled in mid-air.

Grabbing the pull ring, Shen Tiefeng slowly pulled it back, his movements were very slow, not because he was struggling, but because he had to listen carefully to the sound of the iron cable rubbing.

Click... Click... Click...... Bite......

With a crisp sound, a small passage entrance appeared on the ground, and only the stone staircase that sloped down could be seen in the dark.

After the entrance appeared, Shen Tiefeng did not hesitate, went straight down the stairs, and the chain with the iron ring also pulled back by itself, and after the dragon's mouth closed, the ground also returned to its original appearance.

In such a tight place, even if you shout hard, the people on the ground will not hear any movement, but Shen Tiefeng walked very lightly, and did not make any sound when he landed, but he did not walk slowly, and soon entered the extremely deep underground.

As he walked, a cold wind suddenly blew, even if he couldn't see anything, Shen Tiefeng knew that he had arrived at the place, but he didn't go any further, but stood in place, and first transported the Meng family's real unique martial arts, the True Skill of Leaving the Fire.

If you want to adapt to the hot work of iron, there are two ways, one is to resist and the other is to surrender.

Shen Tiefeng's Lihuo True Skill is taking a domineering submission route, the furnace temperature is high, I have become higher than you, and naturally I am not afraid of the attack of high temperatures.

With the operation of the true qi, the temperature in Shen Tiefeng's body gradually increased, and only then did he continue to walk forward, and his feet became lighter, but he couldn't avoid the creaking sound when he landed with each step, as if he was walking in the snow.

Squeaky ......

Finally, he reached the end of the stone staircase, and after walking seven or eight steps further, he stood still, raised his hand and pressed a few times on the wall beside him, and a rumbling sound sounded in the passage, and the darkness in front of him parted from both sides, and the light broke the silence in the passage.

Behind the door is a small stone chamber, with several holes in the corners of the ceiling, and the light comes out of it, and the source of these lights is the stove on the ground, which is continuously transmitted to this stone chamber through refraction, and all the light is concentrated in the middle and falls vertically, falling on a large block of ice more than one person high.

It can be vaguely seen that there is a sarcophagus in the ice, which is not covered, but the face is not clear either, and it can be seen from the color of the costume that it is a woman.

Shen Tiefeng walked to the ice coffin and looked up at the woman who was sealed inside, although he didn't say a word, the emotions in his eyes were ever-changing.

After a long time, the shadow in the corner of the stone room suddenly moved, and a tall person came out of it, it was Shen Tiefeng's eldest apprentice, Liu Mengnan.

Even if a person suddenly appeared in the stone room, Shen Tiefeng's eyes never left the sarcophagus, and the appearance of exertion seemed to imprint the people inside deeply.

Liu Mengnan's movements were very gentle, not at all like the usual wind and thunder, and even his voice was suppressed vigorously, and he said in his throat: "Master......"

Shen Tiefeng finally withdrew his gaze, turned around and said, "How are your injuries?"

Liu Mengnan said respectfully: "All these years have relied on divine soldiers... With the help of my junior sister, the time for the daily fire ant Gu attack has become shorter and shorter, and in a few days, I may be able to heal. ”

The apprentice's optimism made the wrinkles on Shen Tiefeng's face a little deeper, and his straight back couldn't help but bend a little, showing the appearance of an old man in his sixties.

He sat down slowly with the ice coffin, and said disdainfully: "I'm this old, I still need your comfort?"

Liu Mengnan lowered his head and was silent, of course, his body was the best for himself. The fire ant Gu was originally developed for the true qi of the fire, and the higher the temperature in the body, the more active the Gu worm became.

So once lucky, those fire ants seem to wake up from hibernation, in order to fill their hungry stomachs, they begin to frantically gnaw bones and suck the marrow, and the pain is difficult for even a fierce man like Liu Mengnan to resist.

In the peaceful era, it was a sad thing for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, but in the rivers and lakes, in the war, there was no time to be sad, so the next moment you were waiting for someone else to send you.

Shen Tiefeng and several apprentices just chose to cut themselves off because they couldn't bear such pain, which was the most difficult thing for Liu Mengnan to accept.

The brothers followed Shen Tiefeng from Daxue Peak, and they didn't know how many times they had walked through the Ghost Gate Pass over the years, but instead of dying at the hands of the enemy, they died at their own hands.

It's ridiculous.

Thinking of this, Liu Mengnan's huge fist was clenched to death, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Tang family, I will definitely break your corpse into ten thousand pieces......"

Before he finished his angry words, Liu Mengnan only felt as if the deepest part of his brain had been lightly pricked by a small needle, and with such a slight touch, this man like an iron tower had weak feet and collapsed on the ground holding his head.

Because he didn't dare to howl out, Liu Mengnan rolled his eyes, opened his mouth wide to let saliva flow out, grabbed his head with both hands, and the bulging green tendons seemed to be about to pinch his head.

Seeing this, Shen Tiefeng hurriedly leaned forward, grabbed Liu Mengnan's clothes, and easily grabbed the big man who was rolled up on the ground with his thin arms, and turned around to press the person on the ice coffin.

And his other hand also slammed towards the ice coffin, like a red-hot iron knife falling on the tofu, Shen Tiefeng's hand broke through the solid ice coffin and drove in.

After Mo entered half an arm, Shen Tiefeng noticed something strange in his fingertips, and urged the true qi of the fire with all his strength, melting the broken ice cubes into water vapor, and the ice coffin also flashed with bursts of cold light, emitting an even colder cold air, pulling the temperature of the stone room down a few points.

The decrease in temperature also made Liu Mengnan's painful expression gradually ease, and after a while, he slowly opened his eyes and said weakly: "It's okay...... Master......"
