Chapter 399: Sand between fingers

The body was rapidly rotting and weathering, and the skin under the torn red robe on its body dissipated like quicksand, the skin dissipated, and the bones were exposed...

Julie is human, there should be no doubt about this!

Steve leaned over and pointed and calculated, "One, two, three... If you pick the bones, you will be ecstatic when you see Julie. He has never seen a human with only a few bones in his life!"

Du Chen also squatted down, "I have heard of humans with few bones, but people with few bones to this point... I really opened my eyes today!"

Is Julie's bones considered human? She does have a contour of human bones, but the details are very different. Take ribs as an example. Normal humans have ribs one by one, but she has ribs, with only two large bone boards protecting her chest...

Looking at Julie's skeleton, Du Chen first thought of Julie's parents, and somehow he thought of the black-hearted manufacturer in his previous life!

The two have one thing in common, that is, they can save as much as possible, not seeking the best quality, but only seeking the most material! No matter what the bones inside you are, you can't see them anyway!

If you count it carefully, Julie only has thirty-six bones in total, which is due to the fact that the spine, which has a lot of materials, contributed half of the amount. Otherwise, Du Chen would have doubted Julie's parents, or the creator's black heart is like carbon - where is it so cheap?

Julie's bones also began to dissipate, and soon there was only a red robe left.

Du Chen asked with a squinted look: "Brother, have you thought of anything?"

Steve curled his lips and said, "Julie did have no corpse back then, but her body fell into the hands of the Red Army and was transformed by someone in the Red Army. The transformer was very stingy. Damn it, he only used thirty-six bones, so he really saved his fortune!"

Du Chen touched his nose and said, "But we have to admit that the transformer is a peerless genius! Julie only has thirty-six bones, but she is no different from ordinary people. If she can do this, that person's wisdom is enough to make Philip ashamed!"

Steve picked up Julie's robe, wrapped a handful of bone debris, and handed it to Du Chen, "Julie's skin is no different from that of humans, I can't see any abnormality! Keep these bone scums, go back and call them to pick the bones and take a look. The old boy Brooke may be able to see some clues!"

Du Chen collected all the ashes. No matter what, Lieutenant General Julie was also a hero who sacrificed himself for mankind. Although he has changed his character now, for her achievements that year, she brought back the ashes and erected the monument and engraved it as a minimum respect.

As for why Julie has become only thirty-six bones, that is not what Du Chen wants to think about, at least he doesn’t need to think about it at the moment, and he can’t understand it either!

He classified this question as the Red Army and wanted to investigate the Red Army...

The first step is to go to Julie Castle to find what Thirteen said at the end of their lives!

...

It was finally time to leave this damn maze of life. With Xiao Duding, the sapling of life, the road back was extremely smooth.

Just ten days later, Du Ding told Du Chen in the lotus, "Boss, we are now fifty miles from the ground. The upper part of our heads is probably the central wasteland of the Great Einstein continent. There is a fork in front of it. Where are you planning to return to the ground?"

As soon as he said this, Chek immediately stared at Du Chen nervously.

The Brockman family gained freedom, but what about the future? They are traitors of the demons who are not tolerated by the red blood. In the vast three continents, if Du Chen did not arrange a place to settle down for them, the Brockman family still has no future!

Du Chen patted Chick on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I have already figured out how to arrange the members of our family! I have a large secret base that is enough to accommodate you. You first settle there, and then gradually integrate into human society! As for your daily necessities...haha, it is definitely the best in human society!"

That secret base was the underground palace dug out by the Doberts two years ago! Du Chen only left a way out for himself out of his cautious nature, but he didn't expect it to be very useful today!

Chik smiled embarrassedly, "This relationship is good, but I'm still a little worried. After all, there are many things that cannot be solved by money."

Du Chen laughed in a low voice: "I'm going out soon, I won't hide it from you anymore. Yali is actually my pseudonym!"

"Then your identity among human beings is..."

"My real name is Francis, the descendant of Sigru, the Grand Duke of Durkus, the deacon of the Dark Hall of the Holy Church, and the envoy of the Duchen God Cult! Now along the 800-mile river in the south of Lanning, and even the southern part of Einz are under my influence. With these, are you safe, right?"

The more Chek listened, his eyes brighter, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Are you relieved now?"

"Don't worry! I'm absolutely relieved!" Cyck suddenly grabbed Du Chen's hands, "So you are Francis! Hi, why didn't you say it earlier? It turns out that we are really a family!"

Hum? Family? Du Chen suddenly remembered something!

Chekxi said: "Your other wife, how are my niece Helen? Is there any news about my second brother Ted?"

It was indeed this big trouble! Du Chen turned his head and glared at Steve fiercely. The pervert's evil nonsense that day... the sequelae began to appear!

God, how should I explain this!? Do you want me to tell Chek now, hey, my elder brother is talking nonsense and fooling you, I and Helen are at most "friends" who use each other...

Du Chen felt his scalp numb! Xue Ji hadn't settled yet, and Helen was on the table again! Oh my God, why did I have such a big brother?

At this time, Steve suddenly interrupted, "Check, Xue Ji doesn't know Helen yet. Now Helen and my brother are a little awkward. They are running away from home. Haha, everyone is a man, you should understand..."

Chek was a little stunned and smiled ambiguously, "I encountered such a thing when I was young. Everyone is a man... Haha, I understand your difficulties!" He patted Du Chen's shoulder with great understanding. God knows what he thought of!

However, under the ambiguous understanding of the two men, this problem was dealt with temporarily!

Chek's eyes immediately looked different when he looked at Du Chen. He used to respect and awe, but now he has a little more affection for his family. This is called Du Chen's pain and happiness!

As the three of them were talking, Chek suddenly closed his mouth and smiled, "Mr. Steve, let's avoid it first!"

Du Chen looked along Chik's eyes. Xue Ji was coming from afar, lowering her head, not knowing what she was thinking. Since she was forced to kiss her that day, the two of them have been deliberately avoiding each other, and no one has taken the initiative to speak. At this moment, Xue Ji took the initiative to come up, Du Chen felt a little panicked, and he even knew what Xue Ji was here to do...

I am going to return to the ground, and some things must be settled before this! Du Chen looked at Xue Ji, and his heart suddenly became empty, as if he had lost something important.

When he arrived in front of Du Chen, Xue Ji's voice was as fine as a trace, and she wanted to speak but stopped. The two of them looked close and distant. After a while, Xue Ji spoke with difficulty, "Ali, we are going to return to the ground. Is there something I can trouble you?"

In a polite tone, Du Chen suddenly felt that the distance between the two was much farther.

"Xue Ji's injuries have healed a little these days, and the action has been fine. Xue Ji wants to ask you to send me to Qinshui Lake Mingmen!"

What should come is coming eventually! Du Chen said reluctantly: "Do you want to go back to Qinshui Lake? But now it is surrounded by black-robed killers, and there are many crises!"

Xue Ji's voice was even smaller, "Xue Ji understood that Qinshui Lake suffered a great disaster, Xue Ji had to go back and fight against the powerful enemy with her master, and those murderers only killed people outside the Mingmen. If you, you ask Du Ding to send me to the depths of the Mingmen passage..."

"Is it meaningful for you to go back? Now that you are seriously injured and have not healed, going back to deal with those black-robed killers is just killing you!"

"Even if Xue Ji's disciples die, they must die by the side of the master as much as possible..." The more they spoke, the less the voice became. In the end, Xue Ji couldn't speak. She raised her head and looked at Du Chen. Her hesitant and shy eyes made people feel excited!

She is here to say goodbye...

"Do you really want to go back?" Du Chen's voice softened. Now all excuses are nonsense. Both of them understand what deeper meaning is hidden under the ordinary request and goodbye! He gently grabbed Xue Ji's hand, gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage.

"Can you stay?"

A look of surprise flashed in Xue Ji's eyes, but soon smiled bitterly again, "Xue Ji dared not disobey the orders of his master... Yali, let me go back!"

"Command, is Margaret's order so important to you?" Du Chen somehow had anger in his heart, and suddenly raised his voice, which attracted everyone from afar.

Xue Ji didn't say anything, but she kept smiling bitterly and shook her head, but her hand did not let go of Du Chen.

"My elder brother is proficient in disguise techniques, and my lotus is good at hiding aura. As long as I want to hide someone, even if the God Emperor is resurrected, I can't find it!" Du Chen said toughly: "Can you stay?"

Xue Ji's eyes were miserable, "Master raised me to be a human being, and gave me a fighting spirit. Over the past 19 years, he has collected the natural treasures of Qinshui Lake into me... Xue Ji really can't stay!"

What to do? Forcibly keep Xue Ji? Even if you can keep someone, can you keep your heart? Du Chen suddenly burst out laughing and said with a stern smile: "You are right. A person who has known you for only a few months is not as good as a master who has raised you for 19 years in your heart! Brother, come here!" He waved Steve and threw Little Du Ding into his hand, "I will take the Brockman family out of the Tulam Mingmen directly. You take Du Ding and take Xue Ji to Qinshui Lake passage from the underground!"

After saying that, Du Chen shook Xue Ji's hand away, turned around and strode away, but Xue Ji was speechless, lowering her head and tearfully.

On the one hand, she is Master and on the other hand, Yali. How else can she choose? For thousands of years, starting from her elder sisters Xue Lan and Sheng Bowen, which son-in-law in Qinshui Lake has a good ending? At the very least, his wife and children are separated and they are in a down-and-out manner. At the worst, they are chased by Margaret thousands of miles away, and their bodies are gone!

Loving someone is equivalent to killing someone... This is the rule of Qinshui Lake! As long as Margaret is still there, does Xue Ji have any choice!?

"Goodbye Yali!" There was only one sentence left in thousands of words!

Du Chen had already walked away. When he looked back and saw Xue Ji bowing his head and complaining bitterly, his heart softened. The sand in the fourth hexagram condensed in his hands. He took out part of it and turned into a golden crystal necklace. The falling of the necklace was like a little girl running. If Jamies was here, maybe he could recognize that this was the tenth secret picture of the painting god, the outline of the girl in the sunset young girl picture!

Du Chen personally hung the necklace on Xue Ji's slender pink neck.

Steve frowned slightly, and his cold eyes gave Du Chen a wink. The brothers understood and the meaning in his heart came out, "Three brothers, are you crazy? Today, as soon as Xue Ji goes, maybe you will meet on the battlefield in the future. At this time, you will share the most confidential magic weapon with her... Are you looking for death!?'

Du Chen stared at Steve coldly, 'This is my own decision!' In a blink of an eye, he waved to Xue Ji, "Okay, you can go home now! If you encounter the killer of the red military helmet on the road, show them the drop of the necklace, which may be of some use. If you don't help, you will smash the drop of the necklace!"

Xue Ji gently stroked the necklace on her chest, raised her hand and cut off a piece of her long hair, handed it to Du Chen's hand, left silently, without saying a word.

Steve asked Xiao Du Ding to leave the map, protect Xue Ji and left. Du Chen carried his back and did not look back. The sand in the fourth hexagram slowly circled around his fingertips, scattering around the long hair one after another, and then fell lonely along the cracks of his fingers on the ground...

"Shui Ming Shield, Fire Lotus Lantern...brothers of the fourth hexagram, you are called...sand between fingers!"

Xue Ji had already gone away. Du Chen suddenly took off the mask on his face and smiled at the Brockmann man: "From today, there will be no Alex in the world, only the Grand Duke of Durkus - Francis!"

Gently stuffed that piece of black hair into his arms.

...

Following the map, heading eastward and passing through the last maze of life, Du Chen took the Brockman family to appear at the entrance of the Newing River in the night, and waded forward for seven or eight miles, and came to the foot of the Hidden Python Mountain. From here, the 4,000 people from the Brockman family entered the secret passage and settled in the top secret base under Durks City!

After settled these four thousand people, Du Chen came to the city lord's mansion. Everything was unexpected during the time he left. The Pope launched a declaration of war against the demons, and the second human-demon war kicked off, but the detailed situation would take some time to figure out. Among the many messy news, Du Chen was only interested in two people - one was to pick the bones and the other was Andy!

Both of them were framed by the bone beast that day and were almost trapped in the maze of life, but their way to escape safely was ridiculous.

He was alone and trapped in the maze alone. He felt cruel in his heart. With his outstanding strength and understanding of bone structure, he rushed around the territory of the bone beast. With his extraordinary strength and understanding of bone structure, he actually dismantled more than 700 bone beasts into parts within a day, and then used these "parts" to combine them into a long bone rope as a mark, leaving clues for the Holy See masters who cleaned the battlefield later, so as to escape safely.

Andy and Tyre were together, and they were trapped for a long time, but as a result... Andy was about to starve to death. How terrible is the starving snow wolf? Tyre testified that Andy and Golden Bemon reached an agreement and transformed into the six-sided combination beast Pamir to complete the body, directly bombarded the inner wall of life, killed back to the ground, and then broke into the McAllen memorial site and ate all the sacrifices for Auerbach...

The only regret is that when Andy transformed, Brockman had already run away with Philip on his back, and at this time they might have faced the Huhu Beast in the underground abyss.

Now Tigu and Andy are still looking for Du Chen in the Grand Canyon of Auerbach. Dude and Porter cleared orc prisoners of war in the imperial capital. There is only one pair of children of the butler Harry and Du Chen in the city lord's mansion. There is no need to say anything about reminiscing about the past. Du Chen instructed Harry to take care of the Brockman family secretly and informed the family of the Grand Canyon that he was safe, and then took his children and a group of confidants to go to Julie Castle.

At the junction of Lanningrick Province and the Newing River Territory, the southern beach at the sunset, Julie Castle has remained unchanged for thousands of years, standing alone on the beach at high tide. From a distance, although it is not as gloomy as the day, it is also deserted and lonely.

"Dad, we're almost here!" Little Beibei ran happily in front of the team, wearing a small red dress, and her braids trembled, which was very cute. Du Chen rode on the white horse and looked at his daughter with a smile, with a smile on the corner of his mouth full of kind fatherly love... And Alex was sitting in the carriage like a little old man, with a large basin of water and a pile of dirty clothes in front of him rubbing it. He also raised his head from the foam, shook his fingers, and said coldly to the coachman who was smiling at him: "Put your smile! Master, there is no reason to wash clothes!"

"Oh!" Little Beibei slipped and fell on the beach, making the sea mud covered in sea mud. Du Chen stepped forward, changed his daughter's new clothes, turned around and came to Alex with dirty clothes.

Yaya concentrates her mind and calms down, as if she is facing a great enemy, "Dad, are you sure?"

Du Chen patted his son's head, "Silly boy, can you be so serious about washing clothes?"

"Master, you have the demeanor of a master!" Alex took the clothes, then lay on the car window, begging with a foamy face, "Dad, tell my sister not to play anymore, Yaya has washed her dirty clothes all the way!"

Du Chen couldn't help laughing, but at this moment, the little Beibei in front screamed in anger, "Dad, look at the sea!"
To be continued...
