Tilo wanted to talk to Rongrong for a while, but after all, Tiffya came with him, so he reluctantly agreed, and took Tiffya and the servants away.
Watching them leave, Rongrong said to Figgate, "Grandpa, who are they? Why haven't I seen them before?"
Figget smiled and said: "They are the grandson and god-granddaughter of your grandfather Tierhaus. They used to visit me on behalf of Tierhaus from their fathers. It may be because these two children have grown up. Tierhaus I want them to see the world, so I will send them here this time. Rongrong! Although this Tilo has a good background and is a registered disciple of the Northern Sword Master, his temperament is not very liked by Grandpa, so you don’t want to go with him It's too close. Moreover, the relationship between him and his god-sister seems very unusual. Hey, if that young mercenary just now can be used by me, it would be great!"
Rongrong agreed disapprovingly. After all, Tilo was a handsome young man, and it was impossible for him not to be attractive to her. How could the rebellious Rongrong listen to Figget's persuasion
Tilo sent Tiffya back to the luxurious room that Figate arranged for her. As soon as he entered the room, Tilo closed the door tightly with his backhand, hugged Tiffya's delicate body from behind, and kept kissing her fair neck. With that, Tiffya's body trembled, and she broke free from Tilo's embrace, "Brother, I, I don't want to..."
Tilo was stunned for a moment, Tiffya's struggle made him angry, who was already in a bad mood, "Fuya, what are you doing?"
Tiffya lowered her head and begged a little: "Brother, I'm a little tired, I don't want it today, okay?"
Tilofei stepped forward, hugged Tiffya, and said angrily, "You don't want to, I want to." He kissed Tiffya's pretty face violently and frantically, and kept taking off her clothes. How could Tiffya break free from Tilo's powerful arms? Although she struggled desperately, Tiro clung to her tightly, and the clothes on her body were reduced one by one. Today, Tilo was defeated by Duan, which seriously hurt his proud self-esteem, and was provoked by Rongrong. At this time, he completely vented on Tiffya's delicate body, and he hugged Tiffya's body He flew onto the bed, waved his hand, extinguished the lights, and kept asking Tiffya for it.
Tears poured down from Tiffya's eyes uncontrollably. As early as more than a year ago, she couldn't stand Tilo's begging and lost her body to him. The ground raged on her body, and the powerful impact made Tiffya's heart throbbing. Clutching the bed sheet tightly, the scenes in the small town of Nino kept flashing before her eyes...
"Brother Dumb, I will marry you when I grow up, okay?"
"What is marriage?"
"Marrying means that I will be your wife and take care of you for the rest of my life! I will take it as your promise, and don't go back on it. From now on, my girl will be your dumb fiancee. You must treat me well in the future."
"Fiancee? Oh, okay, then I'll give you a little more steamed buns every day..."
All the memories are so clear, and the clear words are as if they were spoken yesterday, but now I can no longer be the wife of Dumb brother, I have betrayed him, what face do I have to go to him again? Dumb brother, why? Why did fate play tricks on me so that we could meet each other but not be able to recognize each other, Dumb brother, how I want to keep warm with you in a ragged padded jacket again! But, I, I am not worthy, I am no longer worthy to be your wife.
After venting frantically for a while, Tilo was finally released. He panted heavily and leaned on Tiffya's tender body, feeling the cold tears on Tiffya's face. He was startled and shook his head vigorously. , suddenly sobered up a lot, what happened to me, how could I become so crazy today
"Fuya, I'm sorry, I, I was too impulsive. That silly boy humiliated me today, that's why I'm so impulsive, you, don't blame me."
Tiffya remained silent, lying there quietly as if she had lost all vitality.
Tilo frowned, rolled down from Tiffya's delicate body, hugged her in his arms, and comforted her: "Don't cry, I won't be like this in the future, I know you are sleepy, go to sleep .”
Tiffya remained silent, she clearly knew that after seeing Dumb today, she couldn't accommodate Tiro in her heart no matter what, and everything in Nino City kept flashing in her mind.
Duan left the City Lord's Mansion in a depressed mood, touched the remaining gold coins in his arms, and thought to himself, it turns out that being a mercenary is not easy! If his skill was not high enough, he might have died in the hands of Tiro at that time. Forget it, what are you thinking about? They are all aristocrats, so they naturally have their own way of life. Now that we have the travel expenses, we should hurry back and see Mr. Corris. Even though he comforted himself so much, Tiffany's familiar face kept flashing in front of his eyes.
Four days later, according to the instructions of the map, Ah-Dai finally passed through Dulu Province and Delun Province, and entered the territory of Warliang Province. The gradually familiar scenery around him made Ah-Dai forget all his troubles, such as Yueyue, girl, Xing'er and Tivya are not important at this moment, he just wants to see Teacher Corris as soon as possible, in his heart, Corris is the second person who is more important than Mantou, even more important than girl .
The sun hangs high in the middle of the sky, and the scorching temperature is just like Dui’s current mood. The hazy scene of the psychedelic forest finally appeared in front of him. Looking at everything he was familiar with, he remembered the scene of living here seven years ago. Dumb stood there, feeling a little dazed. From the blood of the dragon, he summoned his first work after following Corris—a steamed bun wrapped in silver tin. Gently stroking the silver tin on the steamed buns, Ah-Dai choked up and shouted: "Mr. Corris, I'm back, your apprentice Ah-Dai is back." As soon as he came out, the surrounding trees seemed to tremble slightly with his mood. After the yelling, Dumb took a deep breath, and his body, like an arrow off the string, flew towards the depths of the psychedelic forest like lightning.
Although Dui is not familiar with the path outside the Psychedelic Forest, he knows that when he enters, as long as he looks for one direction, he will definitely be able to walk to the place where Corris set up the mechanism. When he gets there, Dui can walk with confidence even if he closes his eyes Go to Corris' cabin.
The current Dumb is no longer the Dumb who would fall down because of the hard work in the past. The hazy fog in the psychedelic forest has no effect on him at all. He keeps tapping on the plants, and his body shuttles through the woods like a fish. , sliding quickly, sliding inward without stopping.
There was a strong wind, and Ah-Dai, who was speeding, suddenly smelled a fishy smell, and there was an ear-splitting roar, and a huge black shadow accurately rushed towards him. Duan was startled, the genuine energy in his body suddenly turned against his luck, he abruptly stopped his forward momentum, and the fighting energy spread all over his body, ready to defend.
The black shadow rushed up like lightning. Although it looked huge, it seemed very flexible. Only then did Ah-Dai see clearly that it was a white king of beasts with black patterns on its body that rushed towards him. -tiger.
Duan smiled helplessly, it seemed that this tiger regarded himself as his lunch. Although the tiger looks fierce, what is he compared to those dark people in the sunset empire? With a sudden burst of fighting spirit, Ah-Dai turned sideways, dodged the white tiger's pounce, and pressed the king character on its head with a palm.
Baihu seemed to be very smart. He felt threatened when he saw the big hand that Duan was slapping at him, and his body actually made a dodging movement in the air, and landed lightly to the side, avoiding Duan's attack.
Duan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that his lightning-fast attack would be dodged by the tiger, and he looked at the white tiger carefully. The white tiger landed on the ground, staring closely at him with a pair of big brown and black eyes, growling slightly, looking at his cautious look, he seemed to be hesitating whether to continue attacking or turn around and run away.
Dumb smiled slightly, and said, "Are you new here? Why haven't I seen you before. Go find other food, you won't be able to eat me."
The white tiger snorted dissatisfiedly, shook its big round head slightly, kicked its limbs on the ground, and suddenly rushed towards Ah-Dai again.
Duan was anxious to see Corris, so naturally he didn't want to get entangled with it, so he didn't dodge this time, and surrounded himself three feet away with a vindictive spirit, waiting for the white tiger to pounce. No matter how smart the white tiger is, how can it compare to the master? Seeing that Ah-Dai does not dodge or dodge, his big eyes have shown a cruel and fierce light, it seems that Ah-Dai is about to be thrown to the ground by it like other prey, Like a feast. Duan smiled and watched Bai Hu strengthen his defensive fighting spirit. He didn't want to hurt this beautiful king of beasts. Under his control, his fighting spirit became extremely gentle. In terms of fighting spirit, as if it had hit a soft cushion, its forward momentum stopped abruptly, and its pair of big eyes showed a look of horror. Duan chuckled lightly, and lightly pressed his palm on the Wang character pattern on the top of its head, hitting the white tiger's huge body on the ground like swat a fly. Duan didn't use much force, but he still hit Baihu dizzy for a while, and rolled on the ground before standing up.
Dumb shook his head at it, and said: "I said you can't eat mine, go find other food, I'm leaving." After speaking, he turned into a streamer and rushed to the depths of the psychedelic forest. The white tiger stood there watching his leaving figure, with a glint of resentment in his eyes, roared, and disappeared into the forest.
After running wildly for nearly an hour, Ah-Dai finally saw a familiar place, he stopped his momentum and stopped, his whole body was boiling with enthusiasm. Looking at the tall trees around him and everything in front of him reminded him a lot. This is where Owen was besieged by killers and Dumb rescued him. Owen can be said to be the second person to change the fate of Dumb, and his importance to Dumb is no less than that of Corris.
Duan touched the Pluto sword on his chest. Under his deliberate urging, the monstrous evil spirit gushed out from the hilt of the Pluto sword. The cold evil power made the surrounding plants tremble, and Dui seemed to have returned It was the scene when Owen fought against many killers with his own strength. Pluto shook the world in a flash, and Owen's cold and familiar voice seemed to ring out again when facing the killer. Tears flowed from Dumb's face. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Uncle Owen, your enemy I will definitely report it." Let go of the Pluto sword, and Dumb just closed his eyes, relying on his very familiar memory at the time, driving his body, and moving forward step by step. He is leading the way for himself with his own heart, and Dumb seems to feel that he is getting closer and closer to Teacher Corris. He clenched his fists excitedly, taking every step so solidly.
Dumb stopped, the chirping of insects and birds was so clear, he knew that he had already entered the range of the wooden house where Corlis lived. He stood there, his body trembling slightly with excitement, and slowly opened his eyes. Three cabins appeared in front of him, nothing seemed to have changed, the surrounding scenery remained the same, the yard was still shrouded in thick fog, the fresh air lifted his spirits, and he finally came back after seven years , I finally came back.
"Mr. Corris—" Ah Dui shouted loudly, how he wished to see Corris' familiar and old face!
There was still silence around, the voice of Ah-Dai shouting disappeared, but the wooden house was still calm, nothing changed in any way, and there was no figure of Corris welcoming him as he imagined, Ah-Dai's heart sank, and an ominous premonition filled him heart. He flew up, and with just one ups and downs, he had already stepped on the steps of the wooden house. Duan gently pushed open the door of the room he had lived in. The room was empty, and nothing had changed. The wooden bed, the chair, Still in his original position. On the chair was the bamboo basket he used to pick the fruit. There was a thick layer of dust on the bed, chair and floor, as if no one had been here for a long time.
Dumb's heart became even heavier, Mr. Corris, don't tell me, haven't you been back all this time? No, impossible. He quickly ran out of the room and rushed towards the laboratory.
The laboratory is the place where Corliss spends most of his time. Once inside, it is not as messy as Dumb expected. Everything is so tidy. Just like when he left, all the experimental items are placed in their original positions. The surrounding cabinets stood quietly, no matter what, like the wooden bed and chairs in his room, there was a thick layer of dust. Duan walked step by step to the small cauldron where Corlis made the weapon, his heart was completely numb, Corlis was not there, he was not there, and he hadn't been there for a long time. Could it be that after Mr. Corris left, he never came back
The lid of the small tripod was tightly closed, and beside the tripod, there was a piece of dusty clothes. Duan clearly remembered that when he left, there was no such dress, and he picked up the clothes with trembling hands. , With a slight shake, the dust immediately permeated the room, and Dumb was protected by vigor, and the dust could not invade him, but it also affected his sight.
After a while, the dust gradually fell silent, and everything around him clearly appeared in Dumb's sight again, looking at the clothes in his hand, ah! This, this is not the black magician's cloak that Mr. Gliss has been wearing all the time. His depressed mood has become active again. The teacher has been back, and Mr. Gliss has been back. Dumb hugged the cloak in his arms excitedly. Suddenly, he found that there was a piece of white paper with clear writing on the place where the clothes were placed just now. Dumb put the magician's cloak aside, and carefully picked up the slightly yellowed piece of paper.
On the white paper is the handwriting of Corris, clearly written in the words of the Tianjin Empire: "The only ones who can come here are my brother Ge Lisong and my apprentice Dumb. Ge Lisong, if you come, Just leave immediately, the eldest brother has already left, if you meet my apprentice in the future, please help me take care of him. All my things must be left to my apprentice, no, I have now admitted that he is my real Your apprentice Dumb." Seeing this, Dumb's eyes became hot, and tears poured down, Teacher Corris, you, you admit that I am your apprentice, and I am finally your apprentice. Dui’s lips trembled slightly, and he continued to look down, “Dai, if you came back, the teacher would be very happy. Do you still remember the gift I gave you? It’s the one you wrapped in silver tin. Pull out the drawer from the grid where the Soul Slayer Grass is placed. The drawer will bring out an iron plate. In the grid on the iron plate, write the name of the gift I gave you in the words of the Tianjin Empire. You There will be surprising discoveries." The words on the paper ended here, and Ah-Dai clearly remembered that the Miehun Grass was in the sixth drawer in the fourth row from the left. He walked to the cabinet and carefully pulled out the drawer. Inside the drawer was dried light red soul-killing grass. He knew clearly from the notes that Corlis had given him that it was a highly poisonous herb. Not daring to touch it with his hands, he wrapped it in a vicious rage, and slowly opened the drawer completely. Sure enough, as Corlis said in the letter, behind the drawer, there is an iron plate made of metal. The iron plate is very bright, with two square grids carved on it.
Of course Dumb knew what gift Corris was referring to. He stretched out his index finger and wrote the word "mantou" in the two grids. There was a sudden strong suction force in the gap where the drawer was pulled out. Duan was taken aback, and subconsciously let go of the drawer, and the wooden drawer and metal plate containing the Miehun grass were sucked back to their original positions.
Zaza's voice sounded from the ground, and Ah-Dai clearly felt that the ground was shaking slightly. Although he was a little surprised, he firmly believed that Corris would never harm him, and this must be the mechanism left by the teacher. He stood there quietly, waiting. Sure enough, Ah-Dai's judgment was very correct. In the open space in the center of the laboratory, the wooden board that seemed to have no gaps suddenly cracked. The cracks are getting bigger and bigger, a faint yellow light shines from below, and a staircase appears in the cracked cracks. The mechanism left by the teacher is really amazing!
Duan walked to the crack and looked down, only a faint yellow light could be seen below, as if it was a deep corridor. The place where the crack was just now turned out to be a three-foot-thick steel plate. Under the steel plate, there are densely packed small holes on both sides. Dumb, who is familiar with Corris, knows that if he doesn’t find the opening method of the mechanism correctly, even if he breaks in by force, he may not be able to get in. would be badly damaged. And you can't get anything, the mechanism set up by Mr. Corlis is always so strict.
Duan's trust in Corris made him walk down quickly with the letter in his hand without any hesitation or fear. When he walked down the ten stairs, the rattling sound sounded again, and Dumb looked up, and the crack just now had been completely closed again. He looked at his feet and knew that the mechanism for closing the door should be on the tenth step.
Although the crack above has been closed, the light in the corridor is not dim. Although the faint yellow light is not strong, it allows Dui to see everything around him clearly. He was surprised to find that the yellow light seemed to seep from the wall.
Dumb walked down the stairs quickly, and walked down for more than ten meters before reaching the end. At the end, it was just an empty space of less than three square meters. At first glance, it seemed that there was nothing. Duan frowned, looked around, but still didn't find anything strange, he reached out and tapped on the wall, and the message from the wall was that there were solid iron walls on all sides. Suddenly, he found that there seemed to be something in the corner of the ground. Hurriedly leaning over to check carefully, relying on the white light emitted by the vigorous fighting spirit, Dui clearly saw a line of small words engraved on the corner of the wall: The words are written to my apprentice Dui, after that, immediately kneel down in the center of the open space, and kowtow to this word three times , and then shout out your origin in the small town of Nino.
After reading this line, Duan was stunned for a moment, and called out my background, isn't my background a thief? Since Mr. Corlis asked me to pray, let me do so. Thinking of this, Ah-Dai knelt down on the ground, knocked his head three times, and shouted loudly: "I am a thief." He found that after he yelled these four words, his heart was filled with pain. For a moment, he clearly felt that his origin was so humble.
Shocked by the sound, the surrounding thick walls trembled slightly. Suddenly, without any warning, Dumb felt his feet empty, and his body suddenly fell, and he couldn't help exclaiming. It seemed that it only took a few seconds. Blocked him, the thing blocking him was full of elasticity, bounced his body obliquely, slid out of an arc, and fell to the ground. He was protected by a vigorous fighting spirit, so the pain was naturally nothing. He straightened up and stood up. Contrary to the light above, the surrounding area was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything. Just as he wanted to use his fighting spirit to illuminate, he found that the top of his head suddenly lit up. The faint white halo brought him light again. He looked up, and was surprised to find that the white halo was provided by a fist-sized night pearl. The night pearl gradually slipped from the small cracks on the top. Attached is a thin silver wire. Duan was amazed by the ingenuity of the mechanism. He lived in the wooden house for a year, but he didn't realize that there was such a huge project under the wooden house. This is a spacious stone room, which is very dry and cool. Although it is deep underground, it does not feel stuffy. The empty stone room can be seen clearly at a glance. Where he landed just now, there is a large slanting net. The big elastic net bounced him here. Not far from him, there is a round table with a diameter of one meter, which seems to be made of stone. It is also the only utensil in the whole stone room. On the round table is a black wooden box. .
Dui stood up, walked to the round table, and picked up the wooden box. The wooden box was very light and it was not locked. He gently opened the wooden box. There were a few pages of paper inside. Since it had been sealed in the wooden box, the paper It's not as yellow as the one in the wooden house. Duan picked up the paper, unfolded it, and found that it was a long letter from Corris.
"Dumb, the teacher really hopes that you can come back here and read this letter. When you read this letter, the teacher has also gone to another world. Although I am dead, the teacher has nothing to do. Regrettably, I am over eighty years old, and my death is not considered premature, especially, I finally fulfilled my decades-long wish with my own death and refined a divine weapon that belongs to me." Just looking at After a few lines of writing, Ah-Dai couldn't read it anymore, and he was completely in a state of sluggishness. Teacher Corris died, and the teacher died unexpectedly.
"No—, ah—" Ah-Dai yelled in pain. At this moment, it seemed that everything in the world had come to a standstill, and only Ah-Dai's voice kept echoing in the stone room. He felt that he was completely plunged into the endless darkness. In the darkness, like a small boat, he was constantly struggling and trembling on the turbulent waves of pain. His heart was broken and his soul died.
Looking forward to the reunion after seven years, it turned out that one day and one place, heaven and man are separated forever.
The small boat in the darkness kept rising and falling, the great pain caused the small boat to gradually collapse, and the heart-piercing pain continued to wreak havoc on the small boat, just when the small boat was about to be completely destroyed by the pain, the dark waves It suddenly disappeared, and two brilliant rays of light, one gold and one silver, brought light to the boat again.
Dumb stood quietly on the spot, regaining consciousness, two lines of blood and tears ran down his face, staining the cloth on his body red. Just now, just when he was about to be completely destroyed by the pain, the second golden body on his chest and the silver golden body on his dantian emitted soft energy in time, reawakening the vitality he was about to give up on his own, and pulling him back from the brink of life and death.
Uncle Owen is dead, Bing is dead, and Mrs. Corris is dead too. Why, why are these people who are more important than steamed buns in my heart dead? You are all dead, what's the point of me being alive? Duan fell to his knees with a thump, the intense pain made him curl up and his body convulsed continuously. Seven years, seven years, seven years after leaving, he got the news of his teacher's death.
The white paper in Dumb's hand was completely full of wrinkles, and he curled up on the ground like that, gradually falling asleep. Perhaps, only losing consciousness is the best way for him to escape the pain.
…
Standing in a desolate and dark open space, Dumb looked around blankly.
"Son, you are back. The teacher is so happy!"
ah! This is the voice of Teacher Corris. Duan's whole body was shaken, and he shouted: "Teacher, teacher, where are you?"
"Son, I'm here, am I right in front of you?" With a flash of light, Corris, who was wearing a black cloak and exuding a faint white light, appeared in front of Dumb, with a kind smile on his cold and stiff face .
"Teacher, I miss you so much!" Dumb rushed towards Corris, but he passed through Corris' body, missed, staggered, and nearly fell to the ground.
"Dumb, you've grown up so much, why are you still so reckless! Look, what is this?"
A basket of steamed buns suddenly appeared in Corris's hand, and steam was rising from the fragrant steamed buns. Duan shouted excitedly, "Steamed buns are my favorite steamed buns."
Corris handed the steamed buns to Dumb's hand, and gently stroked his head, "Child, eat, eat more, the teacher loves to see you when you eat steamed buns. This is specially bought for you by the teacher, you do you like it?"
"I like it, teacher, I really like it."
There was a sad look in Corris' eyes, "Dumb, the teacher is leaving you. No matter where the teacher is, I will miss you. Take care. My child." As the voice gradually weakened, Corris' body resembled Gone into the distance.
"No, teacher, don't go!" Dumb was carrying a basket containing steamed buns, chasing after him crazily, but no matter how hard he chased, he still couldn't catch up with the speed at which Corris disappeared, and finally, the surroundings returned to darkness Among them, Corris' figure completely disappeared.
