Third watch

"What was that just now?" Lu Xiaolu covered his ears and shouted, but couldn't hear his own voice.

There seemed to be aftershocks on the mountain wall, and he barely made himself stand still, but felt that the entire cave was crumbling.

Wang Dazhuang's face turned blue and his ears rang.

For a moment just now, he clearly felt the evil spirit—no, the intensity of the undisguised evil spirit just now might have reached the level of a demon.

But what kind of monster would take the initiative to rush into this demon lock tower?

A little white dog got out of nowhere and bumped into Lu Xiaolu's hind leg.

Lu Xiaolu looked back, picked it up quickly, and yelled at Wang Dazhuang: "That's it—it's not an ordinary puppy! It's listening!"

Wang Dazhuang's ears were still buzzing, and he could only see Lu Xiaolu holding up a dog and yelling, so he gave him a hand: "Go back!"

The demonic aura just now clearly wanted to rush straight into the demon lock tower, but Wang Xiaoming didn't know where it was in the tower, so he had to rush over to have a look.

Lu Xiaolu said: "Shen Beast! Sacred Beast!"

Wang Dazhuang had already started running wildly again, and Lu Xiaolu had no choice but to keep up.

Lu Xiaolu could feel that the whole mountain was vibrating subtly. Every time Lu Xiaolu took a step, he felt the ground shaking under his feet. The little white dog sat on his shoulder, raised his head, and his nose twitched slightly.

Wang Dazhuang first went to find Zhong Tieniu, only to find that Shi Niu was lying quietly in the center of the stone room, seemingly unaffected by the earthquake at all.

Zhong Tieniu is no longer there.

Wang Dazhuang took out some talisman papers, quickly folded them a few times, and threw them away, several bright yellow paper birds rushed into the depths of the cave.

Lu Xiaolu: "It's so cool, this move!"

Wang Dazhuang pulled him away again: "I will teach you if I can go back!"

Lu Xiaolu: "Really? With Xiao Ming?"

"Don't teach that little bastard!" Wang Dazhuang said with a wind: "Disobedient!"

Probably the disobedient grandson gave Wang Dazhuang motivation. While running, he kept lecturing Wang Xiaoming, and he bypassed the maze in one breath. Just as he was about to go up, he suddenly saw a person lying on the side of the fork in the road. The light taupe-coloured clothing is extremely conspicuous in this barren and dark place.

"Ye Hong?" Wang Dazhuang obviously knew her.

Lu Xiaolu and Wang Dazhuang stepped forward together, and worked together to lift the prone woman over.

The comatose woman had a fair face and neat features. If it wasn't for the vicissitudes in the corners of the eyes and neck that couldn't be concealed, Lu Xiaolu would really wonder why a young woman in her early thirties appeared here.

There was still blood at the corner of Ye Hong's mouth, and there was no obvious trauma on his body, his neck was bruised, and the clothes on his body showed signs of embarrassment.

Compared with Wang Dazhuang's cloth jacket, Ye Hong was obviously much more elegant and dignified. The deep lotus color silk cheongsam jacket was paired with porcelain trousers, and her hair was tied in a tight hairpin at the back of her head.

Right now, the clothes that should have been bright were covered with dust, just as Lu Xiaolu wanted to move his arms to support her better, he felt her twitch.

Lu Xiaolu quickly looked down, and found that some bloodstains were slowly oozing from the clothes beside Ye Hong.

"Don't move." Ye Hong's eyes were still closed, but a word came out of her lips.

Lu Xiaolu knew that he might have touched her wound, so he didn't dare to move anymore, but he didn't dare to let go.

Wang Dazhuang said, "What's going on? What happened to you? Where's Wu Liu?"

Ye Hong's brows were tightly closed, as if she had gathered enough strength after a while, and slowly opened her eyes.

"Second floor... you're back." She was unable to turn her head, and could only look sideways at Wang Dazhuang.

Wang Dazhuang's expression changed: "It was on the second floor just now? Are you sure?"

Ye Hong nodded inconspicuously: "Wu Liu and I can't enter, but the residual evil spirit is the same."

"Did you hit him?" Wang Dazhuang asked seriously.

Ye Hong smiled wryly: "It was just affected. If I bumped into you head-on, would I still be alive to talk to you?"

She struggled and sat on the cave wall and said to Wang Dazhuang, "Don't pay attention to me, Wu Liu is still on the top, so hurry up."

Wang Dazhuang said, "Have you seen the old clock?"

Ye Hong was taken aback: "He came out?"

Wang Dazhuang sighed: "A few brats followed in a rash manner."

"Wang Xiaoming?" Ye Hong looked at him.

"There are also Ye Xun and Zhong Yi." Lu Xiaolu interjected.

No need to ask, this woman must be Ye Xun's parent.

Sure enough, Ye Hong's face turned pale when he heard it: "Ye Xun is here too? You bastard!"

Lu Xiaolu: "Er - he must be very worried about you."

"Worried about me?" Ye Hong sneered: "It's enough to worry about him! You guys,"

She turned her eyes around Lu Xiaolu: "Which one are you?"

"I'm just Xiao Ming's classmate." Lu Xiaolu answered honestly.

Ye Hong took a deep breath.

Wang Dazhuang smiled wryly: "Now is not the time to teach them a lesson, they want to save people..."

"Save someone!" Ye Hong raised her voice: "What do you think can be done by bumping into it?"

"Stop talking about that now." Wang Dazhuang interrupted them: "Can you stand up?"

"Leave me alone." Ye Hong said calmly, "This injury is nothing serious. I know how to take care of myself."

The Ye family was inherited from a family of witch doctors in ancient times, Ye Hong really knew what to do at this time better than Wang Dazhuang.

"You stay here." Wang Dazhuang said to Lu Xiaolu: "The higher you go, the more dangerous you go, I can't take you there."

Lu Xiaolu: "Huh?"

Wang Dazhuang stood up: "Be careful with each other. If it is really the second floor of the magic tower, there may be some changes. I will go up and have a look immediately."

Lu Xiaolu looked blank, while Ye Hong was expressionless.

Seeing Lu Xiaolu's expression, Wang Dazhuang sighed inwardly, and said to him, "You don't have to follow Ye Hong, she knows how to take care of herself. You go down and wait at the turtle ghost, and someone will go to meet you in the end. But Don't leave by yourself until then."

He really wasn't sure if there was a mirror demon between Lu Xiaolu and Ye Hong, the best way at present was not to put them together, so as not to pinch each other.

Ye Hong has a very shrewd personality, even if he is injured, he can still deal with the mirror demon.

But Lu Xiaolu is different, although the mirror demon's ultimate goal is not to kill them, and this child is a bit special, but...

Wang Dazhuang took out another talisman to Lu Xiaolu, and lowered his voice: "It is really a last resort, so I ran into the maze."

Lu Xiaolu opened his eyes wide: "But..."

Wang Dazhuang coughed.

The little white dog on Lu Xiaolu's shoulder slipped and fell into his hood.

Wang Dazhuang couldn't help but glanced twice, then turned and left without looking back.

At this time, Lu Xiaolu felt a little embarrassed.

"Um, that..." Lu Xiaolu had nothing to say: "Shall I help you go?"

Ye Hong said coldly: "No need."

As she spoke, she supported the mountain wall and stood up slowly. Lu Xiaolu scratched his head, and just as he was about to speak, a surprised voice sounded from behind.

"Little Lu?"

Lu Xiaolu turned back: "Ah Xiao Ming!"

Wang Xiaoming was excited to go forward, but after taking two steps, he remembered Zhong Tieniu's warning about the mirror demon, and stopped quickly.

"Are you really Xiao Lu?" Wang Xiaoming just said, and he felt that it was a bit silly to ask.

"What are you doing?" Zhong Tieniu also came over at this time: "Ye Hong?"

"Old Zhong." Ye Hong seemed relieved: "The things on the second floor just came back."

Zhong Tieniu was taken aback: "That one just now? How is this possible?"

Ye Hong frowned: "I can't figure it out either. But the evil spirit is the same."

But after being imprisoned in this demon lock tower for thousands of years, he finally escaped, so why did he come back suddenly?

Zhong Tieniu pondered for a moment: "I'll go up and watch."

"Old Wangtou just left." Ye Hong said.

"My grandfather?!" Wang Xiaoming said.

"You guys, don't go any further." Zhong Tieniu immediately ordered: "Go—go back to Shi Jing Cave."

"But be careful." Zhong Tieniu thought about it, and added: "Be careful with each other."

Wang Xiaoming understood what he meant, but——

"I'm going to find Zhong Yi!" Wang Xiaoming said, "The earthquake was so strong just now, and Ye Xun—"

"I'll go find it!" Zhong Tieniu interrupted him: "You are in this state, if you toss about the things on it again, it will shatter you! This is not the time to be a hero!"

Wang Xiaoming said, "But——"

"You still have a friend here." Zhong Tieniu looked at Wang Xiaoming.

Wang Xiaoming paused.

He understood Zhong Tieniu's meaning, between Ye Hong and Lu Xiaolu, maybe one of them is a mirror demon.

Just when he was struggling, Zhong Tieniu had already waved his hand and strode away.

Wang Xiaoming had no choice but to take a closer look at Lu Xiaolu and Ye Hong.

……no.

Lu Xiaolu is familiar with him, but this...

"Ah, this is Ms. Ye..." Lu Xiaolu hurriedly introduced: "Ye Xun should be looking for her."

"Oh." Wang Xiaoming quickly said, "My name is Wang Xiaoming, and I am..."

"Wang Dazhuang's grandson." Ye Hong's expression remained unchanged.

Wang Xiaoming nodded in embarrassment, yelling in his heart that he was cheating, what's wrong with this broken tower lock, but he locked a six-eared macaque, what should we do now?Do you have to carefully check whether it is you every time you meet someone?

Besides, you may not be able to tell the difference after further inspection.

Master Bai in Wang Xiaoming's arms didn't understand his entanglement in his heart at all, and soon couldn't stay any longer, struggling to get off the ground.

Wang Xiaoming had no choice but to put it down, but he didn't expect Master Bai to grab Lu Xiaolu's trousers as soon as he landed.

"Aww!" Lu Xiaolu yelled, "Master Bai! Keep your paws back!"

"Zhong Yi's cat." Ye Hong raised his eyebrows: "Give it to you?"

Wang Xiaoming originally wanted to answer "yes" easily, but he suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he got to his mouth, so he just gave a vague hum, and looked at Master Bai who was scratching Lu Xiaolu, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.

It was as fast as his illusion.

Lu Xiaolu said, "Oh, don't get caught! I know, I know!"

He reached back and pulled out a little white dog: "Here you are!"

The little white dog immediately ran behind Master Bai.

"...It has been following you?" Wang Xiaoming was surprised when he saw Di Ting.

Lord Bai stroked the little white dog with his tail, and the cat and the dog began to purr and make reunion speeches.

"No, I found it just now." Lu Xiaolu said.

Wang Xiaoming had a flash of inspiration, and the look he looked at Lu Xiaolu was a little more moved.

"Why didn't I think of it!" Wang Xiaoming shouted, "Damn it! It's a ready-made cheat!"

Lu Xiaolu: "???"

"Xiao Lu! It's great that you're fine! I knew it!" Wang Xiaoming hugged Lu Xiaolu and rubbed his head vigorously.

Lu Xiaolu: "???????"

Ye Hong: "..."

At this time Master Bai and the little white dog retreated to Wang Xiaoming's feet, Wang Xiaoming let go of Lu Xiaolu, and squatted down.

The little white dog looked at him.

Wang Xiaoming stretched out his hand and turned Master Bai's head in the other direction.

The little white dog shook its ears.

Master Bai's hair stood on end, and the little white dog took another step back.

"Xiao Lu, let's go up there." Wang Xiaoming picked up the little white dog.

"What do you want to do?" Ye Hong, who was as baffled as Lu Xiaolu just now, heard this, and said seriously: "You will only make trouble if you go, didn't you hear what Old Wangtou and Old Zhong said just now?!"

Lu Xiaolu also said, "Yes, little—"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Xiaoming suddenly threw something at Ye Hong.

That thing ignited in the wind, and the thick smoke instantly filled the entire tunnel.

Wang Xiaoming grabbed Lu Xiaolu with one hand, raised his legs and ran: "Run!"

Master Bai at his feet moved faster than them, and Ji Liu jumped out in a flash.

Lu Xiaolu: "Ah? Why???"

Wang Xiaoming said, "I haven't read Journey to the West!"

Lu Xiaolu: "You're talking—cough cough cough! What?!"

Wang Xiaoming pulled Lu Xiaolu into a dark cave and said, "The one behind is a six-eared macaque!"
