Third watch

"Could it be that you've been staying in this maze?" Lu Xiaolu said, "For... uh, repairing the wires?"

"Almost." Wang Dazhuang said with his hands behind his back: "Santian is a war ghost, let alone an ordinary person, even if he takes a look at him, he will be seriously injured. I just know the direction of the formation and his trajectory, so I can keep avoiding it." Let him go."

"Are you so tired every time you dodge it?" Lu Xiaolu said in awe, "You are really strong!"

If you have to run like that for a while every time you avoid the towering sky, what a lot of physical strength it will take—Lu Xiaolu still remembers that the formation changes every four hours.

Wang Dazhuang snorted, "Don't talk about that."

He said it was a maze, but Lu Xiaolu felt that it looked like a cave with many forks. Even Wang Dazhuang said that he could not go in again, but he didn't react.

"It's coming out?!" Lu Xiaolu's eyes widened.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that this was still a cave walkway.

"We keep going down." Wang Dazhuang said, "If you move the wind and rain chain tied to the turtle ghost's feet, you will be washed up. No one will be washed up. Xiao Ming is probably still on the first floor."

But there is Zhong Tieniu on the first floor, I don't know if Xiao Ming is with Zhong Yi, otherwise, if the grandson who was spoiled since childhood was hit by Tieniu, wouldn't it be broken?

"Tell me again." After exiting the maze, Wang Dazhuang stepped half body away from Lu Xiaolu: "How many of you came here?"

"Xiaoming Zhong Yi me and, just three." Lu Xiaolu said.

Wang Dazhuang: "Ugh—"

"There is also a cat and a dog!" Lu Xiaolu remembered again.

"Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense!" Wang Dazhuang stared angrily: "You guys! Ah! Don't do it! Ah! Come to this kind of place for a spring outing!"

Lu Xiaolu: "Ah!"

A small white shadow flashed in front of him, and Lu Xiaolu only saw a section of the tail——

Listen carefully!

Lu Xiaolu didn't have time to think about it, so he raised his foot and chased after him: "Grandpa Wang! Ahead!"

Wang Dazhuang said, "Did you see them?"

"Front!" Lu Xiaolu turned a corner and saw the little tail disappearing in front again.

The little white shadow was extremely flexible, several times Lu Xiaolu thought he was catching up, but he went to the front again by mistake. Before he knew it, the two ran a short distance away. It was Wang Dazhuang who was vigilant and suddenly shouted. Zhu Lu Xiaolu: "Stop chasing him!"

Lu Xiaolu was taken aback, Wang Dazhuang grabbed him and said, "Go slowly."

Lu Xiaolu: "?"

"Listen." Wang Dazhuang whispered.

Both fell silent.

"The sound of water...?" Lu Xiaolu said uncertainly.

"The dark river is coming up here." Wang Dazhuang said: "Don't go any further, just walk a little further, and you will be able to see the ghost of the turtle."

And if you see the turtle ghost, it means that you are not far from the exit.

At this moment, none of the five seals are in place. If they rush out of the exit rashly, they will only disturb the prohibition in the tower. At that time, several ancient magic circles will be activated at the same time.

If Lu Xiaolu rushed out so recklessly, if he was hacked to death, he would not be able to save him even if he went to hell.

"So?" Lu Xiaolu asked suspiciously.

Turtle ghost is turtle ghost, isn't that thing dead?

"Why?" Wang Dazhuang stared, "You can't go out yet!"

"I'm not going out!" Lu Xiaolu said, "Did you see a dog just now?"

Wang Dazhuang: "Dog???"

Lu Xiaolu gestured: "Puppy, Bai, come in with us. I saw it run past just now."

That's a divine beast, although I heard that I can't fight, but there must be other places where I can use its divine power.

Wang Dazhuang said, "I can't run anymore."

Lu Xiaolu: "Huh?"

The little white dog turned his head, this time Lu Xiaolu did not catch up immediately.

It listened carefully, then looked back at the dark and empty cave in front of it, and ran forward again.

It didn't go to the corner quietly until it saw the glittering stone wall, and a burst of white light suddenly appeared under its feet, and its body gradually became illusory under the white light, until it completely merged into the background behind it.

Di Ting waited quietly for a while, then slowly opened his eyes, no one could see, at this moment, the little white dog's pupils were shining with golden light, and his gaze penetrated the ghost of the turtle floating on the surface of the corpse.

There was a barely audible sound from the bottom of the water in the distance, and I heard a group of shadows from far to near, diving straight in from the dark river outside the cave, sinking into the ground with the undercurrent, and then emerging from the surface, and finally——

Break out!

As if a bomb exploded in the water, a powerful water dragon rushed straight out, and the entire cave was hummed endlessly.

Standing in the corner, Di Ting quietly watched the water dragon dissipate in mid-air, a cloud of spiritual light whizzed past, piercing into the depths of the cave like lightning.

"What sound?!" Lu Xiaolu's ears buzzed and he couldn't hear anything. He only saw Wang Dazhuang's face change drastically. The umbrella came and opened with a bang, barely covering the heads of the two of them.

As soon as the umbrella was opened, a sharp whistling sound came from far to near. Wang Dazhuang shot like lightning, and tapped each of Lu Xiaolu's eyebrows, and then pressed the back of his head. When I wanted to speak, I saw that the surroundings were suddenly as bright as day, and my eyes, which had been in the dimness before, couldn't adapt to it, tears burst out all of a sudden, and I couldn't help covering my eyes.

Along with the whistling sound, there was also a gust of wind. Wang Dazhuang held an umbrella in one hand and pressed down on Lu Xiaolu with the other. His weight sank, he took a stride, and muttered something.

Lu Xiaolu only felt that there was a strong wind outside, but inside the umbrella was calm as usual. He was so pressed that he couldn't lift his head, but he could only feel that Wang Dazhuang's hand was getting stronger and stronger, almost as if he was going to push him into the ground.

"Wait!" Wang Xiaoming suddenly grabbed Zhong Yi.

"What?" Zhong Yi looked back.

Wang Xiaoming frowned, and looked in front of Zhong Yi, but there was nothing in front of him.

"It's okay." Wang Xiaoming let go of his hand awkwardly.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Yi left in no hurry.

Wang Xiaoming was at a loss for words.

He couldn't tell what was going on, but when he saw Zhong Yi and Ye Xun turn around just now, his heart suddenly jumped.

Not only Zhong Yi, but also Zhong Tieniu and Ye Xun looked at him - Wang Xiaoming blushed.

"I just want to find Xiaolu too," he said.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted it. Let Zhong Yi and Ye Xun go to find Xiao Lu, and he, who was the most injured, stay with Zhong Tieniu. This was something that had been discussed just now.

He's like this now, doesn't it seem like he's going back on his word, ignorant of the overall situation?

Zhong Yi thought for a while, then pulled Lord Bai down and put him into his arms.

"I'm leaving," he said.

Wang Xiaoming hugged Master Bai without saying a word, watching Ye Xun follow behind him, the two walked further and further away.

Zhong Tieniu said, "Come here."

Wang Xiaoming went over with the cat in his arms.

Zhong Tieniu asked him to help hold Shi Niu's mouth, and took out a glass jar from his bag.

"Huh." Wang Xiaoming looked in amazement at a black bead the size of a baby's fist floating in the water in the jar.

As soon as Zhong Tieniu unscrewed the jar, the stone room was so cold that even Lord Bai yelled.

"This is the soul spirit of the turtle ghost. I have always carried it with me. This formation is not so much imprisoning me as it was restarted after being stimulated by this thing." Zhong Tieniu saw Wang Xiaoming's eyes full of curiosity: "Ye Hong I personally took it out from the belly of the turtle ghost, and your grandfather melted a winter talisman into it to keep it fresh."

Wang Xiaoming: "..."

"With this, can Shi Niu guard the stone chamber instead of you?" Wang Xiaoming asked.

"Theoretically it is possible." Zhong Tieniu replied solemnly: "We need to practice it now."

The soul essence of the turtle ghost knows that it must be cold without touching it. When Zhong Tieniu slowly put the beads from the stone cow's big mouth, Wang Xiaoming even felt the stone cow tremble.

But when Zhong Tieniu pulled out his hand, Shi Niu really started to tremble—the skin that was originally as hard as armor came out of the cold air, and the joints made an ominous sound, like an old car on the eve of being scrapped. lament.

Zhong Tieniu raised his hand with a straight face, and Shi Niu moved his neck stiffly and raised his head.

"Get up!" Zhong Tieniu shouted.

Shi Niu suddenly raised his upper body and fell back to the ground heavily, causing the stone chamber to shake violently.

Wang Xiaoming stared, watching the stone cow's original joints with artificial traces gradually grow a hard leather shell, and the hard armor on its body gradually began to shine. It flicked its tail and slowly crawled towards Zhong Tieniu.

Zhong Tieniu fixed his eyes on it, and slowly stepped back step by step. When Shi Niu finally climbed to the center of the stone room, he also completely retreated to the edge.

Looking at Zhong Tieniu, Wang Xiaoming took a light breath and raised his hand.

With a kick of the stone ox's front legs, Sanskrit locks appeared again and again, and the lightning crackled.

"It's done." Zhong Tieniu raised his finger, and Shi Niu returned to his original position.

Wang Xiaoming: "Are you free now?"

Zhong Tieniu: "You didn't see me being hacked to death, did you?"

Wang Xiaoming scratched his head: "No, what I mean is... since you have both the spirit of the turtle ghost and the stone ox, why didn't you let the stone ox replace you earlier?" Instead, he squatted in the stone room for so long.

"What do you want it to do instead of me?" Zhong Tieniu asked back: "Since you can't leave the demon lock tower, which one do you think is more interesting than staying in the stone room or wandering in the tower?"

"I came out of this stone room to join them, but it was just to give the mirror monster another chance. I stayed in the stone room. If the mirror monster changed into my appearance, at least others would know that it was fake——Mirror monster They will never take the initiative to walk into any seal."

"Then is it necessary to stay out of the stone room because of the mirror demon?" Wang Xiaoming said.

"Why not?" Zhong Tieniu put his hands behind his back: "I told you, two ghosts ran away from the five-story demon-locking tower. This stone room is the lowest seal, and the confinement power is also the weakest. Using that one lasted the year before last. The Yin Qi of the ghost of the turtle can be mixed into the stone cow, and it can replace the escaped monster to restart the seal. But the seal on the second floor cannot be fooled by a stone beast mixed with the spirit of an old turtle."

"Then... isn't it unsolvable?" Wang Xiaoming heard Zhong Tieniu's implication: "But... you said that when the two monsters escaped, the magic circle of the lock tower was activated, and no matter ghosts or gods, they could only do it." Can't get in or out, unless the five seals are re--"

"That's right." Zhong Tieniu showed a slight smile on his serious face: "That mirror demon is stupid, thinking that we can fill the seal instead. In fact, it doesn't know, except for its own layer, even if it crushes our souls Putting it together again may not necessarily be able to replace the escaped demon king and restart the seal."

Wang Xiaoming finally understood.

Zhong Tieniu and the others probably knew very early on that their chances of leaving the Demon Locking Tower were slim.

So although Zhong Tieniu knew how to leave the stone room, he chose to sit cross-legged in the stone room.

No wonder... grandpa will come with them.

Thinking about it, these old men are doing things that they think are handsome, but make his nose sore.

"Then my lord..." Wang Xiaoming sniffed, before he finished his question, the stone room suddenly shook, accompanied by a loud rumble in the distance.

"What sound?" Wang Xiaoming's expression changed.

Zhong Tieniu was also obviously taken aback, and just about to speak, he heard another scream, so sharp that it seemed to pierce the eardrum.

"What?!" Zhong Tieniu shouted.

Zhong Tieniu had never seen such unusually violent fluctuations in most of his life!

Wang Xiaoming's ears hurt so badly that he didn't hear what Zhong Tieniu was saying, he could only see the old man's mouth opening and closing——

wrong!

Zhong Yi!

Zhong Yi and Ye Xun were still in the cave looking for Xiao Lu!

The Demon Locking Tower shook so violently, wouldn't it be about to be trampled?

Wang Xiaoming's chest was stuffy from the shock, he resisted the sharp pain from the wound, grabbed Master Bai tightly, turned around and ran in the direction Zhong Yi left.
