if you see snow

The compass suddenly buzzed and vibrated, Su Ruhui turned on the communication compass, and Sang Chiyu's voice sounded: "Su Ruhui, come to the front hall."

"Brother Sang, let me tell you about the monster clan..." Su Ruhui wanted to talk about the monster clan's cavalry.

Sang Chiyu interrupted him, "I know, come to the front hall."

When I arrived at the front hall, I saw Han Ye pacing back and forth with a livid complexion, and Sang Chiyu was standing beside the water mirror with his eyes downcast, still in that silent and quiet appearance.As soon as Su Ruhui stepped into the threshold, Chazi from Bliss Square rushed in like a cannonball, knelt down in front of Han Ye, and shouted in a panic: "Fifty miles away from the dense forest outside the city, there are demon cavalry haunting them!"

Han Ye was stunned, and looked back at Sang Chiyu, "There is really an army of monsters coming? How did you know? Wait..." His eyes shrank suddenly, "Didn't you say they will arrive in half an hour? Why did my chazi say that they are only fifty miles away from Heijie, according to this, they will come to the city within the time of burning incense."

"They should have used the method and sent dozens of advance troops." Sang Chiyu remained calm, "It's probably here to negotiate terms."

Su Ruhui walked to the side of Sang Chiyu, and looked down at the eye-of-the-sky talisman soaked in the water mirror.Why did Sang Chiyu know that the demon army was coming?Su Ruhui had a guess in his heart, but he couldn't believe it.

"Brother Sang," Su Ruhui felt unbelievable, "Did you see me and my dead ghost father?"

"Ah."

"Why aren't you pinned down?"

"do not know."

Well, now is not the time to discuss this issue.Su Ruhui regained his composure, then turned to Han Ye and asked, "Can Heijie's Teleportation Star Array still work?"

Han Ye's face was stern, "Even if they can be used, Heijie doesn't have enough spirit stones to activate them. The four star formations are activated at the same time, and consumes [-] spirit stones in an instant. As usual, the supply of spirit stones in Heijie is more than enough. But this year's snow The evil spirits, the mine stopped mining ahead of schedule, and the supply of spiritual stones for daily heating in the Black Street is still insufficient, and it is impossible to afford the consumption of spiritual stones to move the entire Black Street."

Su Ruhui was anxious in his heart, several plans flashed through his mind and were denied by him.Calm down, there must be another way.

He asked: "What if the area of ​​teleportation is reduced? If the area of ​​teleportation is reduced to the thirteen squares in the inner city of Heijie, the area will be reduced, and the amount of spirit stones needed to activate the star array will be reduced. To move the thirteen squares, four thousand stones of spirit stones That's enough, is there enough spirit stone storage in the warehouse of the workshop?"

Sang Chiyu said in a deep voice: "To shrink the area, we have to dig ditches to distribute the star formation. Is there time?"

"Xuan," Han Ye said, "a sub-star array covers an area of ​​one mu, and contains more than 500 ditches. The ditches must be dug at least one foot deep and three feet wide to accommodate enough spiritual stones. Even if the black street men and women It will take at least an hour for all the young and old to come and dig. What's more, we have four sub-star arrays."

"I can reduce it to three sub-star arrays." Su Ruhui said, "The triangle area can also be moved."

Don't the three sub-star arrays need to be dug?It was too late.Han Ye closed his eyes and said, "Su Ruhui, take Sang Chiyu away."

Su Ruhui was suffocating, "Han Ye."

Han Ye gritted his teeth and said, "You know very well in your heart that even if I took the lead in rebelling against you five years ago, how could I hand you over so smoothly if there were no people in the black street? Your former brothers can betray you, let alone Sang Chiyu who just came to Heijie not long ago? Su Ruhui, Sang Chiyu was right, Heijie wants to save itself. You have done enough for Heijie, you go, take Sang Chiyu with you. Isn't it just because of this desire to live this life again?"

Su Ruhui's hands trembled slightly, he was hesitating.Can he really leave the tens of thousands of people in the underworld and escape alone?But can he really watch Sang Chiyu being sent into the demon clan?Be more selfish, the shadow in Su Ruhui's heart is expanding, how can those people who are greedy for life, afraid of death and indulge in pleasure deserve him to sacrifice everything to protect them?

Han Ye categorically ordered: "Come here, throw these two guys out of Bliss Square."

He turned his back, closed his eyes, and stopped looking at Su Ruhui.The hooligans of Bliss Workshop sent Su Ruhui and Sang Chiyu outside the puppet workshop, saluted respectfully, and returned them to the workshop.The door was closed to them, Su Ruhui turned to look at Sang Chiyu, and Sang Chiyu also looked at him.The bright white sky is like fine frost, covering Sang Chiyu's quiet eyebrows, his eyes are always deep and peaceful.

"Come with me." He took Su Ruhui's hand.

Su Ruhui didn't know where this guy was going, time was running out, they should return to the Great Compassion Hall, and go to find the occultist to send them away.However, Sang Chiyu obviously did not go in the direction of the Hall of Great Compassion. He took Su Ruhui to the busiest market in Hei Street. The tall wooden buildings were piled up like building blocks. In the streets and alleys, the dark ground and muddy water flowed, and the stench of feces and urine could be faintly smelled.

They stood among the crowd, and the merchants didn't know that the monster race was coming, so they walked back and forth with their burdens, shouting loudly to attract customers.Behind the dark door on the right front, there is a man and a woman kissing passionately, and the man's hand is inserted into the woman's skirt.Above their heads, a dancing girl with heavy make-up reclined on a beauty chair on the wooden fence, sucking cheap five-shi powder and puffing.

"Su Ruhui, have you seen it?" Sang Chiyu looked at the bustling street, "You built star arrays and made puppets for these people. They live day after day, work, sell goods, and kiss their lovers. ...If the Yaozu knock on the gate of the Black Street, the order you established in the past will collapse in an instant, and all of them will be crushed like scrapped meat puppets."

Su Ruhui said softly: "I thought they were meaningless in your eyes, so do you care about their life or death?"

"You're right, I, like Su Guanyu, regard them as ants, and their life and death are insignificant to me." Sang Chiyu turned to look at him, "But it's not that I think they are meaningless, they just It’s really meaningless. People think that ants are small and mediocre, but perhaps in the eyes of ants, human beings are aliens in the world.”

"You want me to give up on you?" Su Ruhui smiled bleakly, "Brother Sang, I didn't expect you to be so great."

Sang Chiyu touched his face, "Su Ruhui, you have become weak."

Su Ruhui's throat choked with hair: "Because I love you. Loving someone makes people weak."

Sang Chiyu has never seen Su Ruhui like this before. Su Ruhui is a lawless bastard who has always been determined to go his own way without fear. He dared to single-handedly break into the Tanlang Mine. The son of an aristocratic family fled into the black street alone.He has always been decisive and resolute, like a desperate gambler.He is also talented and intelligent, always has a way, and will always be invincible.No matter how critical the situation is, he always has the last laugh.

But this time was different, Jiang Xueya cut his throat, his uncle died in Beichen Hall, and his star array brought disaster to the border.He finally lost, lost completely.Sang Chiyu knew he was regretting, he was sad, even though he pretended to be strong.Sang Chiyu also knew that he could no longer bear the life debt of tens of thousands of people, and he was already at the end of his strength.If this choice is like a knife without a handle, which will cut you no matter where you hold it, then let Sang Chiyu hold the knife for him.

"Trust me." Sang Chiyu said.

Su Ruhui looked at him.

Sang Chiyu said: "Leave the decision to me."

Just as they were talking, a crimson warning Kongming lantern was raised over the black street, and the pedestrians stopped, looking anxiously at the signal that signaled danger.It has been many years since Kongming Lanterns have been raised in the sky above Heijie, and people who experienced the arrival of secret sect soldiers five years ago realized instantly what had happened.

Someone shouted in the streets: "The monsters are coming! The monsters are coming!"

Immediately, people panicked. The men and women who were still kissing in front panicked and hid in the door. The dancer on the second floor who smoked Wushi powder disappeared, leaving behind a dangling beauty.Vendors on the street ran away, and the goods in their loads fell all over the ground.Su Ruhui stood on the spot, belatedly feeling helpless sorrow in his heart.For the first time, he felt so powerless, so small.All living beings run away like ants, so why isn't he himself one of the ants?

Perhaps as long as he accepts Su Guanyu's deal, he can turn the tide.

"Su Ruhui, don't agree to him, he is very dangerous." Sang Chiyu interrupted his thoughts.

"Are you reading my mind?" Su Ruhui asked.

"Well," said Sang Chiyu, "it's hard to guess what's on your mind recently, sorry."

This guy Sang Chiyu is always like this, he says he's sorry, he shouldn't do it, but he does what he wants to do.

They returned to the puppet workshop. This time, all the hall masters of the Bliss Square and the monks of the Great Compassion Hall gathered here. The time for a stick of incense has long since come, and the hundred monster horses presumably have already approached the city, and put forward their conditions to the black street. .When Han Ye saw them coming back, he couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.Ananda looked anxious and kept winking at Sang Chiyu.The rest of the people stared at Sang Chiyu, some hesitated, and some secretly held the firecracker behind their waists.

Needless to say, Yaozu's condition is to let Heijie hand over Sang Chiyu.

Be brave.Su Ruhui took a deep breath, how could he be compared to his wife?

He came under the eyes of everyone, looked around, and asked: "Do you really think that if you hand over Sang Chiyu, you can get a chance to live?"

"Boss Su..." Chi Gui muttered, "We have no choice but to..."

"The Yaozu is not a secret sect," Su Ruhui said slowly and clearly, "Masters, Tantaijing comes from a family, even though he is cruel and cold-blooded, he will do what he says and do what he says. He will keep his promises for the rest of his life." .So five years ago, you could trade me for stealing your life without worrying too much."

There was a look of shame on everyone's face.

"But today, what we are facing is a demon!" Su Ruhui said word by word, "Jiang Xueya betrayed his promise and surrendered to the demon city. Biandu was massacred in five days, and blood flowed like a river. Who can guarantee that the demon will be righteous? The killing outside the border city The pit, the blood has not yet dried, so you will end up better than them? If we open the city gate, what was yesterday in the border capital is what the black street is today!"

Someone whispered: "What they want is Sang Chiyu. Boss Su's words are just because he doesn't want to hand over Sang Chiyu."

Ananda suddenly stood up and shouted: "Who is talking small things there? Have the courage to stand up and say it! Tell you, whoever dares to betray Mr. Sang, the Great Compassion Hall will be the first to refuse!"

"I said it," Chi Gui jumped up, "Did I say something wrong? Do you think so?"

There was an uproar in the arena, gangsters and monks yelled at each other, and some even pulled out firecrackers.The noise exploded, causing Su Ruhui's ears to hurt.

Su Ruhui pulled out the firecracker and pulled the trigger towards the dome.

As if he had choked his throat, the noisy voices stopped abruptly.

Su Ruhui put down the pistol and said, "If I want to leave, you can't stop me."

Everyone was speechless.

Blind Lu wiped away his tears, and called out in a sad voice, "My lord..."

Suddenly a chazi dragged a girl in, and ran up to Han Ye panting, "Boss, a stranger from outside said he has a message for you!"

"Renren" is a slang word in Blissful Square, which means people who come to the black street through the Wuxiang method.The girl was wearing gold and silver, and the clothes on her body were made of soft silk and satin, she could not be seen from the black street.Han Ye narrowed his eyes and looked at her. She was neither humble nor overbearing, Fufu said: "The slaves are ordered by the master to tell you that the monster clan will slaughter the city. You must escape quickly, otherwise disaster will be imminent."

The red ghost shouted: "Where are you from?"

"The master ordered the servants not to reveal their identities, believe it or not," the girl said, "The words have been brought, and the servants leave."

The red ghost yelled: "Stop her!"

Han Ye waved his hand, "It's a good intention for her to report the news. Someone here, give her a Dharma Gate Talisman, and send her away safely."

The girl bowed to Hanye, "My servant thanked the master."

Everyone in the field looked at each other, seeing panic and fear in each other's eyes.Yaozu didn't intend to let them go at all, what should they do?

Su Ruhui breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to this mysterious person.At the juncture of life and death, there will always be people who are lucky enough to face the truth.If it wasn't for the mysterious person to remind him, it would be impossible to convince these boys in Heijie with his one-sided words.Su Ruhui watched the girl's leaving back, silently guessing the identity of her master.This woman looks charming and dignified, she looks like a maid from a rich family. Which surname in the 48 states knows that the monsters are going to attack the underworld, but also cares about the safety of the underworld?

Could it be... He frowned.

Just thinking about it, someone next to him covered his face and cried, "What should I do?"

Blind Lu said in a trembling voice: "Why are you crying! If you surrender without fighting, even if you survive by chance, you will be laughed at by the world!"

The red ghost was gloomy, "We can't fight, we can't escape, so what do you think we should do?"

Su Ruhui took a deep breath and said loudly, "Dig ditches in Shisanfang, the inner city of Black Street, collect all the spirit stones in the city, and restart the Great Teleportation Star Array."

There was silence in the workshop.A young gangster stammered: "Su, Boss Su, you are not omnipotent. Your star array has killed hundreds of thousands of people in Biandu. You can guarantee that your decision now will not put us in the same place." kill it?"

His words were like a knife, piercing into Su Ruhui's heart.

It hurts.Su Ruhui thought.

Blind Lu's eyes were about to burst, Su Ruhui waved his hand to restrain him when he was about to get angry.

Su Ruhui said calmly: "I'm not omnipotent, I really can't save everyone. So I need your help to lead Heijie to dig a way out. It's not me, it's you, it's all of us who save Heijie. people."

The man fell silent, and the hall was silent.

Chi Gui asked in a trembling voice: "The demon clan is already under the city, how can we make it in time?"

Some people were obviously not persuaded by Su Ruhui, and they still held the pistols behind their waists.

"It's too late." A cold voice sounded.

Sang Chiyu walked out from behind Su Ruhui, and slowly raised her dark pupils.

"If you think that you are ants, then you will be trampled under their feet forever. If you think that you are cowards, then you will be displaced forever." He looked at the gangster quietly holding the firecracker, " You should take up arms and buy time for your fellow man. Your guns should be pointed at the enemy, not me."

Sang Chiyu's eyes were both cold and hard, being stared at by him, it was like a cold moon.Feeling fear and shame, the gangster couldn't help letting go of the firecracker behind his waist.

"If you still have the courage and courage to protect your family," Sang Chiyu untied the dry moon and held it in front of his eyebrows, "then I will fight for you."

A beep sounded in Su Ruhui's ear——
