Ding Ling walked out of the study.
I saw Yuqiang and Madam Bai.
Naturally, they also saw him. After all, these two people focused part of their attention on the study. As soon as Ding Ling appeared, they immediately noticed it and all stepped forward to salute Ding Ling.
Everyone was respectful and polite.
At least that's how it seemed to Ding Ling.
"This is my little sister Yu Qiang."
Madam Bai took Yuqiang and introduced with a smile:
"My little sister heard what I told you about your situation, and I admire you very much. I hope you can follow you and serve you."
"..."
Yu Qiang was speechless. She wanted to say that Sister Bai, you are talking nonsense.
But thinking about the fact that her sister Bai's power was drained, she could only hold back and decided to get close to Ding Ling first and get Ding Ling's approval. If she was not familiar with Ding Ling and spoke rashly, she might offend Ding Ling. , it will be difficult to ask for help at that time.
Yu Qiang was full of things on his mind. Ding Ling was so good at observing people and reasoning. He knew Yu Qiang's plan just by looking at it. He didn't point it out, but nodded and said:
"In that case, you two just follow me."
He lifted his legs and walked out:
"You guys pack up and follow me out of the city."
"Sir. Are you in such a hurry?"
Mrs. Bai quickly stepped forward to advise:
"My little sister has just come back. How about letting her rest for two days? Besides, I haven't arranged the affairs of Bailian City yet. If I leave rashly, I'm afraid it will cause turmoil. Then the people's lives will no longer be stable. That will be really terrible. It is sin."
Mrs. Bai spent a few days with Ding Ling, but she saw some of Ding Ling's flaws.
At least Ding Ling's temperament is very peaceful.
She Qiu has no sin against the common people, and she will even make her pay for meals!
Usually when walking on the roadside, he would also say some comforting words to some children who bumped into him!
This simply subverted her outlook on life! The impact on her soul was extremely strong!
in her cognition.
Strong people generally ignore mortal life and treat mortal life like pigs and dogs.
Monsters like Yuqiang who treat humans well are actually aliens!
Under the influence of Yuqiang, Mrs. Bai's attitude towards humans has improved a lot, but deep down she still looks down on mortals. If not, she would not have developed such a huge descendant and allowed her descendants to fight each other in the dark. .
And what about Ding Ling?
Completely opposite to the strong person she knew! So kind.
After being in contact for a long time, she even forgot the painful incident of Ding Ling draining her energy and beating her.
If she hadn't often used curses and found that she was now "powerless", she might really have no fear in front of Ding Ling.
He would even regard Ding Ling as the second Yuqiang and become friends with Ding Ling.
It was also the realization that Ding Ling was kind.
Only then did Madam Bai mention the common people.
And it was exactly as she expected.
She spoke like this.
Ding Ling agreed to leave in two days.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Mrs. Bai took Yuqiang and saluted with a smile.
…
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these two days.
Under Madam Bai's instructions, Yu Qiang promptly showed her hospitality to Ding Ling, got close to her, and often enthusiastically took Ding Ling around Bailian City.
Although there is not much to see in Bailian City, Yuqiang is full of enthusiasm, and Ding Ling expects her to lead the way around the area, but he does not brush off her good intentions.
But in the eyes of the people in the city and some little demons, it made them even more suspicious and surprised:
"Even the deputy city lord has begun to bow down to Lu Wenli! It's really unbelievable! Is that the same deputy city lord that I know is rich but not rich, and powerful and unyielding?!"
"What is so monstrous about Lu Wenli that he is so flattering to the fish girl?"
…
Niu Yuan, the soldier guarding the city, became more and more curious and felt itchy in his heart. Unfortunately, he could not get out of the one-acre and three-quarter land boundary at the gate of the city.
I can only watch helplessly and stare.
And in the early morning of the third day.
Niu Yuan saw Ding Ling up close.
He looked ordinary at first glance, but upon second inspection, he discovered that this little boy had a master-like demeanor, which was really heartbreaking.
Especially Ding Ling's eyes, which were so deep that they seemed to contain a universe, capable of swallowing up a person's soul. It made little monsters like Niu Yuan tremble and dare not look further.
When they opened the city gate and saw the three of them walking away, they couldn't help but look at each other and started talking.
What was discussed was nothing more than how a mortal like Ding Ling could change so much in just a few days? !
What happened to this boy?
Why do people like Mrs. Bai and Miss Yu have to be respectful and follow their lead?
They couldn't think clearly, but that didn't stop them from wanting to follow Ding Ling.
In their words:
"Even Mrs. Bai and Miss Yu have followed. If we follow, there is no doubt that we will get huge benefits in the future."
One person understands the principle of chickens and dogs ascending to heaven.
Everyone understands!
Now he hugs his thighs in time. If he ascends to heaven in the future, why would Ding Ling take them with him without hesitation?
pity.
They don't have that fate.
…
…
Yu Qiang and Ding Ling became friends.
At least that's what she thought.
At first, she only thought that Ding Ling was a person with strong martial arts, but after two days of contact, she was very surprised to find that Ding Ling was almost omnipotent!
Food, astronomy, martial arts, arithmetic, calligraphy, painting, archery...
Excellent at everything!
She was shocked!
Start worshiping him crazily!
She is also a literary 'girl' at heart, and she loves art very much! Therefore, I love reading, painting, calligraphy, playing the piano, etc.
But she can only be considered half-experienced in these.
And Ding Ling was at full level in all these aspects, and he could be said to have crushed her to the depths of the earth!
How can this not make her worship and make her an idol?
She was very proactive towards Ding Ling. They chatted for two days and treated Ding Ling as an idol and a friend. It was natural and common sense.
Mrs. Bai's plan also failed.
When Mrs. Bai found Yu Qiang secretly and asked her to help speak, Yu Qiang expressed that she was very embarrassed.
Mrs. Bai urged and was dissatisfied, feeling that Yu Qiang was "forgetting her love!" '
Yuqiang was speechless, indicating that my adults are still young!
Mrs. Bai was a little annoyed and said that it had only been two days and she was talking about my lords in such a smooth manner. How about a little while?
Yuqiang did not object, but agreed with it and said with a smile, "If some time passes, I think I will definitely become your loyal friend!" '
As soon as this sentence came out, Madam Bai almost became angry to death!
At one point, I felt that Yuqiang's brain was burned out. Otherwise, why would you say such irrational things?
Yuqiang said:
"Sister Bai. You can't empathize, so you can't understand. When you meet someone who crushes you in talent and knowledge, you will unconsciously look up to him, worship him, and want to get close to him very impulsively."
"...I still can't understand it. It's just unreasonable!"
"...Sister Bai, you are not me, so naturally you can't understand it. In adult terms, you have no artistic ability and don't understand the beauty in life."
"..."
Madam Bai’s forehead was throbbing with veins: “Nonsense!
"
"Okay. Then say something you can agree with and understand. Sister Bai, if you meet a kind, almighty man who can guide you to the King of Curses, will you identify with him? Look up to him? Worship him?"
"..."
"whee."
Seeing Mrs. Bai's speechless expression and frowning, Yu Qiang smiled and said:
"I like art. But the achievements of adults in art are beyond my reach. I feel that by following him, sooner or later, I will achieve something in this field. Over time, I will become his die-hard fan, and one day I will become his die-hard fan. Not surprising. Of course, for now, we can only be considered friends."
…
…
Some images flashed through my mind.
Yu Qiang calmed down, glanced at Ding Ling, and said proactively:
"Sir, if you go further, you will reach the Forest of Bones. After passing through the Forest of Bones, you will reach the Sea of Ruins. Going east from this Sea of Ruins is Wuzhuang Temple, and going west is Poyue City. Going north... …”
Yuqiang talked for a long time and finally asked:
"Sir, I suggest you go south. The monsters in the south are much weaker."
"Okay. Listen to you."
Ding Ling read a lot of books in Bailian City.
I also know a lot about this world.
But it only scratches the surface. If you want to have a deep understanding, you must explore deeply.
certainly.
Before he left the city, he told Yu Qiang and the others that his main purpose of leaving the city this time was to seize the curse.
Ordinary curses are useless.
For example, 'City Guard Curse'. This kind of curse is extremely useless. It can increase a person's strength ten times or a hundred times within the city gate and become extremely powerful, but it will be controlled by the city lord and deputy city lord. And if you try to escape, you will be cursed.
Naturally, it was impossible for Ding Ling to accept this type of curse.
What he wants is a curse that can strengthen himself and resolve the side effects.
Curses such as Immortality and Dragon Gate can all be resolved. As long as they are strong enough, they can be resolved. Ding Ling has the secret book of martial arts and other magical skills, so he is very confident in resolving these curses.
Da da!
Through a forest of bones.
Reached the sea of ruins.
At first glance, it seems like water-like waves are undulating on top of the dilapidated ruins. From a distance, the misty waves are vast and boundless.
But if you look closely and carefully, you will find that the ruins are covered with sand and loess, and there are countless wreckage and broken blades buried under the sand and dust.
Ding Ling even saw some ruins full of history. It seemed that in a very long time ago, there were some giant cities here?
Ding Ling was puzzled and asked about Mrs. Bai and Yu Qiang.
The two shook their heads.
Mrs. Bai said:
"This place existed when I was born. No one knows what happened in ancient times. So that there is such a large sea of ruins here. And this landscape is very strange. It is puzzling. It is obviously full of loess, but it is It looks like water. It can only be said to be weird. Maybe there is some kind of magical curse in this sea of ruins, which I still don't know."
Ding Ling then asked no more questions.
They rode onto the sea of ruins.
Wow!
The horses were obviously stepping on the loess, but they seemed to be stepping on the waves. The sound of crashing passed by my ears from time to time.
Ding Ling concluded that there was a secret in this sea of ruins.
But with his current strength, it may be difficult to analyze the reason.
He decided to wait until he became stronger before exploring.
All the way south.
In the sea of ruins, almost no monsters or mortals were seen.
In Madam Bai's words, the sea of ruins would swallow up all life at night, and they only dared to travel during the day. If they could not cross the sea of ruins during the day, they would not even think about crossing it at night.
certainly.
Due to the strange and treacherous nature of the Sea of Ruins, few monsters cross this sea even during the day.
hold head high!
Halfway there, Ding Ling seemed to hear a dragon roar. He raised his head and looked up, and sure enough he saw a red fish dragon flashing past in the void.
"That's the carp spirit that survived the Dragon Gate curse."
Yuqiang is envious:
"Those who survive the curse will be unable to help but cross the sea of ruins, and then fall into the ancestral land of Longmen and become the superior beings in the world!"
Go all the way.
Ding Ling heard three dragon roars and saw three dragons.
Ichthyosaur, ceratopsian, crab dragon!
The so-called crab dragon is a dragon made from crabs!
This was the first time for Ding Ling to see a strange dragon with crab legs. He was shocked and felt that his eyes were opened and his knowledge gained.
Arrive in the evening.
The three of them crossed the sea of ruins.
"Three lucky people survived the Dragon Gate Curse."
Yuqiang summary:
"There are probably tens of thousands of people who have not survived. There is a high probability that these little monsters will die. There is a small chance that the lucky ones will survive like me."
After she said that, she looked a little confused.
Mrs. Bai said a few words of comfort, but Yuqiang was still sleepy.
Ding Ling said a few words casually, and Yu Qiang became excited.
Mrs. Bai's eyes twitched as she watched, feeling as if her best friend of many years was about to be snatched away by a man.
"Ahead is the black forest. There are black bears, black wolves, black pigs and other monsters hidden in it. The strongest one is a black wolf king. There is a nine-fold curse on him. Sir, you can try to kill the black wolf king and peel off his body. curse."
Mrs. Bai took the initiative to introduce.
Yuqiang said nothing.
Ding Ling followed Madam Bai into the black forest. As soon as he entered the forest, two bull demons wearing armor, with horns on their heads, over ten feet tall, and holding two big knives jumped out, leaned over, and stared coldly. Ding Ling and the other three were about to say a few harsh words, but when they saw Madam Bai and Yu Qiang, they couldn't help but were startled. They hurriedly put away their swords and said with a smile:
"It turns out that the city lord and deputy city lord of Bailian City are here. I wonder why you two are here?"
"I want to see your city lord."
"oh?"
The bull demon is surprised and confused:
"You two don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. How come it's so sudden? If something happens, I will act as your successor!"
"Can't we see each other if we have nothing to do?"
Mrs. Bai's face darkened:
"Who allowed you to look down on me?"
The bull demon's legs became weak, he knelt down with a plop, and said angrily:
"The two adults are naturally visible, but as goalkeepers, we must fulfill our responsibilities. If not, if we are punished by the city lord, our lives will be worse than death. Please understand."
Mrs. Bai still wanted to scold.
But seeing Ding Ling frowning, Madam Bai immediately corrected her attitude and said with a smile:
"Don't worry. If your city lord dares to punish you, I will take you to my Bailian City."
The bull demon is overjoyed:
"This is what the adults said. Don't regret it!"
"..."
Mrs. Bai was speechless.
How could she know?
Compare it to Bailian City.
The living environment in this black forest is extremely harsh. Everyone yearns for beauty, and the bull demon is no exception.
