Third watch

what?

Lu Xiaolu's heart was lifted to the side of his throat.

What the hell is coming?

Damn, I lost my demon-lighting glasses, although I could hear, but as far as his eyes could see, there was only a dark and empty cave.

Although Lu Xiaolu is brave, it doesn't mean he is fearless, especially in such an extremely passive situation.

How to do?

escape?This place is full of mazes, he can't see where that thing is coming from, what if he happens to meet him when he goes out—and he doesn't know yet, maybe bumping into it head-on, that's really courting death.

Tibetan?

Beads of sweat dripped from the tip of Lu Xiaolu's nose.

Where to hide?

Although this is a corner, it is not considered hidden. As long as the other party is not a blind monster, you will definitely be able to see him when passing by.

He had a slingshot in his pocket and a watermelon knife in his backpack. Zhong Yi also gave him a few fool charms, which would emit smoke to confuse ghosts when burned. Ye Xun also gave him glutinous rice and a silver knife to ward off evil spirits.

But - these weapons can only be used if he can see the opponent.

The panting sound was getting closer and closer, and he could almost feel a gust of wind slowly approaching.

Lu Xiaolu stood there stiffly, not knowing what to do.

"Shi Niu is gone, can you really find your grandfather?" Wang Xiaoming turned his head and asked Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi said: "I can find you, why can't I find my grandfather?"

Ye Xun said, "Is that cat bell the one you made for Lord Bai before, but Lord Bai refused to wear it?"

Wang Xiaoming: "..."

Zhong Yi said, "No."

Ye Xun: "I think so."

Wang Xiaoming: "What!?"

Zhong Yi said: "No!"

Wang Xiaoming: "Isn't it!"

Zhong Yi growled: "Can't you walk well with the surname Ye!"

Wang Xiaoming said, "Isn't it!"

Zhong Yi saw that Wang Xiaoming was so excited that he turned half of his body to stare at him, his face turned red, and he sighed helplessly: "I said no. Master Bai's is anti-flea, not GPS."

Wang Xiaoming looked at him dubiously.

Zhong Yi said, "Do you think Mr. Bai will get lost?"

Master Bai arrogantly looked down at Wang Xiaoming on Zhong Yi's shoulder.

... Well, Master Bai is indeed reliable.

Wang Xiaoming turned his head resentfully: "Ye Xun, walk well!"

"Try it instead!" Ye Xun said angrily, "Night-sighted people are night blind, do you know that? Why don't you go ahead?"

Wang Xiaoming said: "Do you think I'm stupid? Once I was bitten by a snake..."

"I didn't bite you." Ye Xun said calmly, "You put the blame on me again..."

"Come on, come on, do you want to fight?" Wang Xiaoming was confident.

Now that Zhong Yi is behind him, Ye Xun looks like he has serious internal injuries, so he will definitely not be able to beat Zhong Yi.

Ye Xun sneered: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. If you have the ability, sew yourself on Zhong Yi's body, and don't tear it off even when you take a shower or sleep."

Otherwise, I will retaliate against you every minute.

Wang Xiaoming immediately stopped talking.

He did not forget that Zhong Yi had told him that Ye Xun was the best at sneak attacking and assassinating (ghosts).

Zhong Yi ignored their bickering and focused on looking down at the watch on his wrist. When he reached a certain place, he suddenly stopped.

"What?" Even Ye Xun looked back.

Zhong Yi waved his hand to signal them to be quiet, and suddenly took out a strangely shaped pickaxe from his bag with his backhand, and slammed it into the mountain wall beside him.

But when the seemingly hard hoe hit the mountain wall, it didn't make the expected metal collision sound. Instead, it seemed as if the hoe had sunk into soft tofu, and it sank deep into it all at once.

Zhong Yi clicked his tongue and easily pulled out the pickaxe again.

Wang Xiaoming was startled: "What are you doing?"

Zhong Yi looked down at his watch again: "Didn't the old man make a rock crocodile? Although he can escape into the mountain wall, there is always a bracket gear in his body, as long as I—"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and made another hoe. This time the pickaxe stuck in the mountain wall for a moment, and then was quickly pulled out again.

"Very clever." Ye Xun commented: "Ginger is still old and spicy."

"That's enough." Zhong Yi put away his pickaxe and straightened his back: "The old man knows, he will come to us by himself."

Master Mo Ruosun.

After a while, Shi Niu poked its head out from the ground.

Wang Xiaoming liked this bully thing very much, and was about to get close to it, but was kicked by a tiger.

This time Shi Niu was not allowed to ride, and led them all the way to the stone room where Zhong Tieniu was.

Zhong Tieniu was still sitting in the stone room, his serious old face didn't soften much when he saw Zhong Yi: "Come?"

Zhong Yi: "Yes."

"You've seen it when you think about it." Zhong Tieniu said, "This six-eared macaque in the demon lock tower."

Ye Xun said, "It's not just seeing, I've been taught."

Shi Niu was obviously by their side all the time, Zhong Tieniu had already seen the confrontation between them and 'Lu Xiaolu' in the stone room, so there was no need to verify their identity at this time, but let them all sit down.

Zhong Tieniu said: "This is also one of the reasons why we can't go out except for the Shishi office."

It was actually Wu Liu's family who came to this demon-locking tower at the beginning. They were the first to sniff out that there were monsters fleeing, but they were worried that there were other evil things in the tower, so they invited Zhong Tie Niu Wang Dazhuang and Ye's family to come together.

The confinement in the Demon Locking Tower is graded by layer, the lower the monster's power is, the lighter the confinement is, and this time the monster escaped, and it was indeed a big monster on the second floor—whose real identity is, no one knows.But when they arrived, the confinement was already empty, and in order to place the confinement, if the lock tower collapsed, it also activated the emergency circle, turning it into a dead end that could only be entered but could not be exited.

And they speculated that when the monster that was strong enough to break free after a thousand years escaped, it was brought to the other two layers of imprisonment, causing the seal to loosen. Seizing the opportunity, he didn't leave the demon lock tower.

"You said to leave the 'Monster Lock Tower'." Zhong Yi frowned.

Zhong Tieniu nodded: "This is the problem."

Although it did not leave the Demon Locking Tower, its range of activities was no longer limited to the seal.

"This demon-locking tower can be described as one step at a time. Even if you untie the anklet, you can't escape from the cage." Zhong Tieniu said: "But we didn't know what was going on inside at the time. If we didn't come in and re-strengthen the seal, no one could guarantee Will it really be trapped in the Demon Locking Tower forever?"

But when they came in, they found out that because the monsters had fled, the demon-locking tower had been sealed by a magic circle, and they could only enter and not get in—unless the five imprisonments were restarted, it would be difficult for ghosts and gods to leave.

For Zhong Tieniu and the others, repairing and strengthening the seal is not difficult, it just takes time.

The real problem is the monster wandering around in the 'cage'.

Because that monster has a very tricky skill.

It is illusion.

This transformation is not the legendary fox fairy transforming into a human, or smearing his face, but a true and complete copy of the physical body, spirit, and memory.

Ye Xun narrowed his eyes slightly: "Wait..."

Zhong Tieniu nodded: "It seems that you have remembered."

"That stone essence wall." Ye Xun suddenly said: "It's at the turtle ghost! I also looked carefully at that time—"

"That's the one." Zhong Tieniu nodded: "That's the mirror demon, which can transform into fractal shapes. It knows that it can't escape by its own strength, so it hides in the stone spirit from the previous year and waits for an opportunity."

"We were also distracted by the turtle ghost, and ended up being fooled by that mirror demon." Zhong Tieniu said: "The stone spirit has the ability to hide shadows and transform into form, as long as the shadow of a person is reflected on it, it can be compared with its own shadow." Look at each other, and the soul will be completely copied by the mirror demon inside."

The transformed mirror demon can truly be exactly the same as the deity, with the same physical spirit, thinking circuit and life memory, except for the upper layer of mirror demon controlling it, there is no flaw.

When the time comes, the two will stand side by side, and apart from each other, no one will know which is true or which is false.

But Zhong Tieniu and the others were caught in the trick, first they were alienated and conspired by the mirror demon and plotted to self-mutilate for a while.

But these old men are all veterans after all, and they finally caught the loophole and came to their senses.

"The mirror demon originally planned to let us kill each other, but later this plan failed, so he never appeared at the same time as the deity, because he was sure that we would not be able to tell the difference." Zhong Tieniu said: "So apart from the deity, no one can hurt the mirror demon. Killer."

Otherwise, if you accidentally hurt your old friend, no one can afford the crime—and this is not only a problem of accidental injury, if you make a mistake, keep yourself inside and take the mirror demon out, then it will be a good show.

So unless they are very sure, the old men would rather not go out than let the mirror demon succeed.

In fact, the ultimate goal of the mirror demon is not to kill them, but to use three of them to fill the hole-as long as the five seals in the lock demon tower are fully operational, there will be no restrictions on the exit, and it can leave calmly.

Wang Xiaoming said, "That's why your attitude was so strange at first? Huh——"

Zhong Tieniu looked at him.

Wang Xiaoming said slowly: "That mirror demon can not copy everything, can it?"

Zhong Tieniu said, "Not bad."

Zhong Yi raised his eyebrows.

"Because when you saw me for the first time, you identified that I am not a mirror demon." Wang Xiaoming said, "Is it because Pixiu's eyes cannot be copied?"

Zhong Tieniu said: "Thousands of mortals in the world have three souls and seven souls, but there is only one Pixiu."

Zhong Yi pondered for a moment: "That mirror demon relied on the stone spirit to strike? What if we were not close to the stone spirit at that time?"

Zhong Tieniu looked solemnly: "Which one of you didn't look at that stone spirit at that time?"

Wang Xiaoming raised his hand.

Zhong Yi also nodded.

At that time, only Ye Xun and Lu Xiaolu went to see it, while Wang Xiaoming noticed the turtle ghost, and Zhong Yi also followed.

"No wonder it turned into Xiao Lu and Ye Xun." Wang Xiaoming said, "Me and Zhong Yi didn't meet its eyes, so it's okay?"

"Theoretically, it should be like this." Zhong Yi said: "But our figure was also reflected on the stone spirit, so even if the mirror demon wants to change, it can only change into a shell."

Zhong Tieniu: "..."

Unexpectedly, after living more than half of their lives, they were the old guys who were all tricked. After overthrowing the turtle ghost at that time, the few of them wanted to see if there were any subtle mechanisms in the stone spirit in the spirit of research. Or the seal, I didn't expect it to be all right.

"In order to avoid the provocation of the mirror demon, we simply dispersed, one person at a time, and first focused on repairing and restarting the seal." Zhong Tieniu said: "The stone cow was born for this. The turtle ghost followed The year before the lock demon pagoda grew, it was considered an old monster, I took its soul, and then injected it into the stone cow, so that the old king's head would be coated with a layer of monster energy, and he could guard the stone room instead of me."

"What about my grandfather?" Wang Xiaoming asked eagerly.

"There is a specialization in art, and the old king's head should be on the second floor." Zhong Tieniu said: "The second floor is a maze improved by the eight-door golden lock formation. The ghost is towering. During his lifetime, he killed thousands of people, and after his death, he made a big fuss in Fengdu. His hostility has not disappeared for thousands of years. The predecessors locked him in a maze, and the inside of the maze was engraved with a soul-locking curse, so that he could only follow like a donkey pushing a mill. The formation route wanders in the maze again and again, but it can never be found. Regardless of the difficulty of the maze, except for the old Wangtou, anyone who encounters Shen Tian in it will be in bad luck."
