Chapter 18 Quarry
I went all the way west for a few days, and I have been quite comfortable these days without any major events.
"Fox, I'm tired. Find a place to rest." After bumping for several months, although Chu Longer is not spoiled, she has been very tired in the past few months.
"Hold on for a while. Look, there is a small village in front of us. Let's ask for a bowl of water. You must be thirsty!" Han Bing saw her wiping the sweat on her forehead. The hot weather made her blush.
There is a grass pavilion on the roadside in the village. There are two people playing chess in the grass pavilion, and one person is watching on the side.
Han Bing and Chu Longer got off their horses and walked into the grass pavilion. There was a bowl next to a large jar of water in the pavilion. It must have been brought by them in order to play chess for a long time to quench their thirst. Han Bing asked the chess watcher for a bowl of water for Chu Longer.
After drinking, Chu Longer asked for another bowl to drink by herself: "Uncle, what kind of village is this?" Han Bing asked the man watching chess in a low voice.
"This place belongs to the southern and western Xinjiang, and this village is called Junlin Village." The uncle knew at a glance that they came in the same way: "Where are you from?"
"We came from Nanli City. Why is it called Junlin Village? Has anyone been here? When Han Bing heard the name of this village, he felt that there must be a story in it. He loved to listen to stories.
"Well, Junlin Village naturally has a king here. This king is the father of Emperor Su. He has been here and played chess here. This stone table was given by him in those years." The uncle stepped aside and sat down to listen to him.
"So that's it! Presumably this chess is also taught by him. Han Bing guessed.
"The young man is really smart. This chess skill is really taught by him. At that time, the villagers here were all Yamao Murano. They didn't know any chess skills, but now the village can play chess."
"Junlin Village is very nice and the name is very meaningful. Uncle asks you one more thing. Why are there so many stone carvings in this village?" Chu Longer saw many stone carvings along the way.
"Haha... You don't know that these stone carvings are specially carved in various places. The uncle pointed to the stone carvings.
"Specially? How do you understand this?" Chu Longer looked at the stone carvings erected around her and didn't understand the use of these.
"These stone carvings are carved with spiritual stone. This spiritual stone is spiritual. It can sense good and evil. Once it senses evil, it will start the array."
"Do these stone carving layouts have formations? I can't see it."
"How can you see it? These stone carvings are prepared for demons, and this stone array is also prepared for them. Once they enter the range of stone carvings and feel evil spirits, they will start the array to contain and kill them. The uncle looked at the cold ice with a surprised face with a smile.
"This is the first time I've heard of this. Stone carvings can also kill people. I think I'm really talented and ignorant." When the cold ice head heard that the stone sculpture has spirituality, it can sense good and evil to kill the enemy.
Chu Longer smiled and said, "The design of this array must not be an ordinary person, not an ordinary capable person."
"It's also a coincidence that a young man passing by this place saw that these stones were spiritual, so he designed such an array for us for the masons to chisel the spiritual stone into stone people, stone lions, stone monkeys, etc., and placed them according to the formation."
"With these stone carvings, you don't have to worry about demons invading the village." Han Bing looked at the stone carvings and nodded. From the surface, these stone carvings were no different from ordinary stone carvings.
"Where do these spiritual stones come from? How can there be so many spiritual stones for you to collect? If there are a large number of spiritual stones, you can collect some and send them to demons such as Xiangmenguan to attack the fortress, and also deployment methods, which can save many people to defend the city to resist demons. Han Bing thought of hearing that Xiang Menguan was also the key point of demon attack.
"Yes, the stones recently collected from the quarry are all transported to fortress gates such as Xiangmen Pass; build walls and carved stone carvings to guard the array to resist the invasion of the demon army." The uncle pointed to the distance and said, "That's the quarry, and there are a lot of spiritual stones."
Chu Longer looked in the direction of her uncle's finger: "Fox, let's go and have a look."
"Well, I sacrificed my life to accompany my brother." Han Bing brought the horse over.
The two said goodbye to their uncle and went in the direction of the quarry. When they arrived at the quarry, they found that the quarry was not a stone mountain, but a huge stone scattered everywhere in the quarry. The stones looked nothing different.
The masons chiseled from the huge stones one by one and piled them neatly around them. The other workers carried the stones onto the cart, loaded one, and pushed one away.
Chu Longer saw a young man commanding the stone, so she walked over and said, "Brother, where are these stones transported?"
The other party looked up and saw that he was a delicate young man and smiled, "Where did the little brother come from? I heard that your accent is not local around here.
"We came from Nanli City and passed by here. I saw that you were busy coming to see where the stones were shipped?" Han Bing stepped forward to help him load the stone in the car.
"These stones are transported to various places for demons to attack. Brother, you don't know that these stones are different. They..."
As Chu Longer was talking, he felt that the earth seemed to be a little shaken: "Do you feel abnormal? I seem to feel a vibration.
"Well, I feel it too." Han Bing looked around and found that some masons had stopped their work.
"They are coming, demons. These demons can't walk on the land in front of them. They come from the waterway behind. Only the waterway can't be arrayed, so they come from there to destroy the stone field. Hurry up." After saying that, he asked someone to push the car and left the stone field in a hurry.
Han Bing and Chu Longer hid behind the boulder beside them and looked at the approaching demons. There were more than 20 demons, but they did not see the demon leader.
"Why don't you have a leader?" Han Bing turned his head and asked Chu Longer.
"How do I know? Let's take a look first. Maybe it's in the back." Chu Longer leaned her head and looked at these ugly demons.
"It seems that there is no leader. It's easy to deal with without a leader. Go ahead. I've been addicted to it. I haven't killed him for a long time." Han Bing pulled out her sword and was ready to rush out to kill.
"Fox, look..." Chu Longer pointed to the back of the demons: "There is more than one demon leader, but two. Now you have to kill them."
"Two? Forget it. How can I deal with two? You'd better come and I'll kill the little one." Han Bing was terriffic. One of them was difficult to deal with, and the two were hung up directly. He was not a dragon with a dragon ball.
"Well, the leader will be handed over to me, and those little demons will be handed over to you." With that, Chu Longer appeared and went straight to the demon leader.
Han Bing rushed out with his sword and directly cut the little demon near the leader, so that the dragon could not be distracted and choose the two demons alone.
"Wow, haha... It's really enjoyable, just like cutting watermelon. Han Bing laughed exaggeratedly and said that he didn't want the dragon to be distracted by him. In fact, he was already sweating like rain. These demons were much stronger than those demons in the south of Nanli City. It was really difficult for him to deal with them alone.
Chu Longer struggled to fight with the two demons and had no time to take care of the fox. Hearing his exaggerated smile, she was relieved a lot, so she focused on dealing with the two demons.
A demon is easy to deal with. When these two go together, it still feels a little difficult. I don't know where these demons come from, and their knives are fierce.
Chu Longer remembered the elixir given to Song Bing by the demon leader in the broken temple. Are these demon leaders born with such brute force, or did they eat the ghost elixir? I heard that there is a demon elixir.
Chu Longer swirled between the two demons. With her light and agile skills, she did not fall behind. On the contrary, the more relaxed and bulky the demon leader was, the more exhausted she became.
While one of the demon leaders was panting, Chu Longer flew up and kicked him in the chin, kicked the demon back a few steps with great force, and then immediately caught up with a sword and stabbed him. The demon did not stand firmly to avoid it. He hit a sword in his chest. With Chu Longer pulled out his long sword and jumped up and kicked. Blood suddenly spewed out on the wound on his chest.
One demon fell down, and the other was even more anxious. He waved the big axe in his hand and cut at Chu Longer.
Chu Longer sneered. It's easy to solve the rest of you. If you are so anxious to die, then it will fulfill you. One quickly greeted you. Just as the demon's axe was splitting her, when Han Bing looked at it and wanted to rush over to help, Chu Longer slid down and got under the demon's arm, and there was no sword in her hand. Idle, a sword crossed the demon's armpit, and the axe in his hand fell to the ground in pain.
When the demon bent down to pick up the axe, Chu Longer jumped forward with an arrow step. The blade stabbed the demon's back straight down. As the sword pierced his body, he slapped him on the head again. Hearing the demon scream, he fell to the ground.
The ice here is also finished. Chu Longer looked at him sweating and smiled, "Well, are you enjoying it this time?"
"It's so enjoyable that I almost put my life into it. I didn't expect that these demons are more powerful than the demons I met in front of me. I can't underestimate the enemy in the future." Han Bing thought that he almost lost his life just now, and there was a chill in his heart.
"It's better to be careful. Maybe there are more powerful demons, but we haven't met them yet." Chu Longer pulled out the sword from the demon and wiped the blood stains on it.
"If more powerful demons appear, you are the only one to protect me." Han Bing pretended to look at her pitifully.
Chu Longer smiled and walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "In the future, I'll hang out with my brother. Brother, I eat meat and you drink soup. Take care of you if you can't stand it or starve... Wow, hahaha..."
"You... I knew you wouldn't have good intentions. It's really sad to be your brother..."
"I can't go, ink, if I don't leave, I'll throw you here as a mason." Chu Longer turned around and looked at the ice that was still in place.
"Where to go?" The ice turned over the horse.
"The door is closed."
