Chapter 2637: came

   Chapter 2637 Came here
  Tantai calmly knew that his life was on the line, and if he was a little careless, the supremely sharp Nuo Gong sword would pierce his head.
   She's a woman, so I know how scary a woman can be when she's crazy.
   "You don't ask me what I did..." Tantai said calmly and indifferently: "Why don't you ask yourself, what did you do... At least, after my operation, everyone can survive."
   It was quiet behind him... But the breath of death did not weaken much, and the Nuo Gongjian was still on the back of Tantai Daxian's head.
"You are at the end of the line, and Lin Feng obviously can't fight at the moment. How many times can you expect him to open the explosion?" Tantai calmly said again: "Do you know why a person can escape from death? That's because He is consuming a lot of his own blessings... Now Lin Feng, his blessings are almost negative, and if he continues to overdraw like this, even if he dies here immediately, it will not be enough, do you really want to make him go to hell?"
   "He is Duke Nuo. In this world, his blessings are so deep, how can it be imagined by mortals?"
"What about those guys?" Tantai calmly turned around suddenly, "What about the corpses buried in the deep pits of the ice cave? Are they also blessed? Are they not [Nuo Gong]? ?"
   "How do you know..."
Tantai calmly interrupted Ling'er's next words with a wave of his hand, and said directly: "At least now, no matter what, Hu Mei will not... at least be reluctant to hurt Lin Feng. However, if he is not the real [Nuo Gong], then no Good to say."
  Nuo Gongjian hangs down naturally, and Linger's face pales even more.
   As the saying goes, do it once and then stop... Obviously she is in a state of falling back at this time, and it is quite bad.
Tantai calmly threw out a bottle at this time, "Take some of it, although I don't know if these anti-breathing medicines will work on you, it's better than nothing. To deal with Hu Mei, I'd rather run away with me alone. road."
   "But you..." Ling'er frowned and glanced at the strange disc in Tantai's hand.
   Intuition told her that Hu Mei's sudden and strange change was precisely because the disc was doing something in the dark... She had an instinctive feeling of being afraid of it.
   "This thing can't hit people." Tantai said calmly and indifferently: "In my hands, at most, it can be used to be beaten, and if I don't get it right, I will be shocked to death myself."
   Having said that, this [Book of the Heavens] is indeed an auxiliary magic that defies the sky... It defies the sky so much that it can even rewrite a person's life trajectory.
   Even so, her random stroke on Hu Mei's life trajectory almost cost her her life - but the effect of losing weight unexpectedly made Tantai Daxian ecstatic.
   However, in a short period of time, Tantai Daxian may not be able to perform similar operations... the cost is too high.
   At this time, Ling'er didn't swallow Tantai's wound medicine, but threw it back casually, shook her head and said, "This thing is useless to me."
   As he said that, he saw that Linger took out the bell that he was wearing, and unscrewed it directly. There seemed to be something hidden in the bell.
   "This is..." Tantai Jing's eyes froze at this moment, and he couldn't help showing an incredible look, "So...is that so?"
   only heard Linger sighed: "This is the last."
  I saw Tantai Daxian pondering for a while, and took out a box from the storage props, "I also have some of this stuff, I'll give it to you."
   Linger was startled.
  Tantai said calmly and indifferently: "When you owe me a favor, don't think that you don't need to change it if you die... I'm a fortune teller, if you don't pay it back, I'll find you in the next life, the next life."
   "You're actually not bad." Ling'er chuckled lightly, "Fortune teller, can you find him, Mr. Nuo... No, Lin Feng."
   "You can only rely on it." Tantai sighed calmly, then took out a rotten branch that seemed to have been bitten by termites...
  …
  …
   As if... as if he was back in that splendid room.
   It's just that this time there are not many graceful maids, but the beautiful and graceful queen is there - Hu Mei.
   Kobayashi SIR didn't dare to move at this moment, didn't dare to move at all, even though this woman seemed to occupy nine points of all the charm in the world, she was lying in her arms like a cat at this moment.
   It stands to reason that as a person with strong blood and energy... a person who has been single for more than 20 years, there will be some reactions, but what Kobayashi SIR can react to at this moment is... Tail?
   Does the end of the tail become stiff?
   Even at such a time, he was still able to think wildly, and Xiaolin SIR suddenly felt that he was actually himself, not the god-like Nuo Gong.
   "Master Nuo." Hu Mei called softly.
   "Yes...Yes!" Kobayashi SIR was in a cold sweat for a moment, but he could only pretend like a snake, "I'm here!"
   "What's wrong with you, why are you sweating so much?"
I saw that Hu Mei took out the handkerchief at this time, but wiped her face gently for him. Her eyes were soft, weak and affectionate... Xiao Lin SIR's eyes towards her confirmed that this is only the heroine in TV series will have. eyes.
   "Then... what, if I'm not the Nuo Gong you're looking for..."
   "Then I'll kill you and then commit suicide." Hu Mei's face was cold and murderous in an instant.
   Kobayashi SIR was suddenly afraid of the restriction, and sweated like an ant crawling down... Could this Hu Mei be sick or something?
But seeing Hu Mei grinning, she stretched out her hand and flicked his forehead, "What a naughty thing you said, it scares you, how could you not be a Nuo Gong... You are not a Nuo Gong, and Mrs. Nuo won't want to be with you. The son of Huaxu is born. If it wasn't for Black Rain's big sister entering a light of hatred, maybe the fire in the flame of love would really be born."
   "I... I have many things that are confusing and confusing." Kobayashi SIR had to whisper.
Hu Mei said: "Don't be afraid, you just woke up, memory disorder is very normal, it will get better soon... I finally waited for you, this time I will not let go, forever, I will stay by your side ."
  —Tantai Daxian, what the did you do...
   Kobayashi SIR had an idea: "What if Mr. Vega finds it?"
"Mr. Vega?" Hu Mei frowned, and then suddenly said: "Are you talking about the master? Don't worry, the master is currently fighting against a strong enemy. Although he doesn't know the origin of the mysterious girl, he is able to fight with the master. It’s really God’s help for me to contend! Wait, we will take the [Different Secret] left by the true ancestor and hide in the time and space where the master can’t find it… Then, no one can separate us anymore.

   "[Different Secrets]?" Kobayashi SIR was stunned.
Hu Mei nodded and said, "Waxi Ancestor Temple contains the treasure left by the True Ancestor, it is an artifact that can really change the sky, change the sun, and change fate. In addition to looking for the master's primordial spirit, there is another purpose, which is to take care of [Yetianji]... Duke Nuo, you have been sleeping for too long, have you forgotten [Yetianji]."
"I...my head hurts a bit." Xiaolin SIR covered his head with one hand at this time, showing a hint of pain, and planned to cover it up - but, the "Yetianji" in Hu Mei's mouth, I am afraid it is not the ancestral temple that Mr. Wei Jia is thinking of. in the baby.
   He thought so, but suddenly he felt a softness wrapping around him.
The aroma that poured into people's hearts made him seem to have forgotten the slightest moment... I saw Hu Mei put him in her arms, kneading his head softly, and said softly: "If you can't remember, don't think about it... This will be good. order?"
   Kobayashi SIR only felt that this soft voice was like wind, a wind that could blow into his heart.
   He suddenly understood the famous saying of Ma SIR.
  —Who can withstand such a big scene!
   "It's much better." He took a deep breath, as if he was reluctant to part with it, but after all, he was out of this gentle ideal land, "Let's go and get [Yetianji] now... How long will it take?"
   "Have you forgotten my abilities?" Hu Mei chuckled lightly.
   I saw her wave her hand slowly, her sleeves passing like clouds, but the splendid room in Kobayashi SIR's eyes seemed to disappear in the blink of an eye, replaced by an ancient hall in the dark.
   "It's easiest for me to come to the inner hall." Hu Mei leaned on Xiaolin SIR's side at this time, and said softly: "I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to come here as eldest sisters."
  Convenience is convenience, but he didn't even give himself a little time to think. Kobayashi SIR is neither happy nor unhappy at this time, he can only see one step at a time.
   "This...this is still in the desert?" Kobayashi SIR suddenly asked.
Hu Mei said: "In the chaotic starry sky, there is only a desolate land. It used to be the battlefield between Huaxu and the demons. With the fall of the master, they were also exiled into chaos. This chaotic starry sky, only this land can be built. "
He remembered those wordless wooden monuments wrapped in cloth strips he had seen on the road, and the wandering spirits of Huaxu ancestors who could only be seen at night, and he couldn't help feeling an indescribable sense of grief in his heart... It turned out that this desolate The earth was once a battlefield.
   At this moment, the earth shook suddenly and the mountain shook... The ancient hall was even more shaken.
"what's going on?"
"It's the master!" Hu Mei's face condensed at this time, "I didn't expect that the girl with the sword could force the master to such a degree. Although the master has lost his physical body, there are very few people in the world who can do this. Few... Nuo Gong, we have to take away the [Different Heavenly Secret] as soon as possible, I am afraid that this battlefield will be broken in a short time."
   "Okay...Okay!" Kobayashi SIR shuddered and said subconsciously, "The main thing is to go in and you can take things away...Is there any other traps or something?"
  Hu Mei said solemnly: "I've never opened this hall before...but I can't control it anymore. How can I say, you are Nuo Gong and Huaxu blood!"
   After saying that, Hu Mei pulled up Xiaolin's SIR and flew to the giant gate of the ancient hall.
However, at this moment, Hu Mei seemed to have hit something intangible, and her body suddenly bounced away... Kobayashi SIR exhausted his eyesight to look, only to see that there seemed to be a stream of water in the air. The curtain, at this time, was shaking because of the impact...like jelly.
  Hu Mei fell to the ground, but her face was gloomy, staring at the invisible water curtain, and said coldly: "[Red Tide]... Are you? You actually came in?"
   At the main entrance of the ancient hall, I saw a water shadow writhing, and a red light and shadow slowly walked out... There was no face, and the most striking thing was the light like two eyes on the face that looked like chaos.
"You all came in. I stayed outside and didn't know what to do, so I just came in." The red light and shadow said slowly: "Sister Hu Mei, the true ancestor said that unless it is the real son of Huaxu, otherwise You can't open the main hall and take out the [Different Heavenly Secret]."
Hu Mei snorted coldly: "The birth of Huaxu's son was destroyed by black rain elder sister, there is no Huaxu's son! Duke Nuo is also Huaxu's blood, he is now Huaxu's son! [Red Tide], you step aside, read in these years Love, I will not do anything with you!"
   "The True Ancestor's orders are above all else." [Red Tide] shook his head.
   "Nüwa is our master!" Hu Mei sneered suddenly.
  [Red Tide] said indifferently: "The master once said that I must obey the instructions of the true ancestor in the future... The true ancestor said that only the son of Huaxu can take [Yetianji]."
   "I'm sorry, [Red Tide]." Hu Mei's murderous intent was awe-inspiring, and she raised her hand and threw out a space-cut vortex.
I saw that in the vortex of space, the body of [Red Tide] was instantly cut into thousands of pieces, and it was too fragile... However, the strange thing was that those bodies that were cut into pieces fell to the ground, and they immediately disappeared. Gathered together again, and returned to its original appearance again.
   A white light flashed on Hu Mei's body, revealing nine long white tails... She wore a coat like a fox demon and jumped forward.
   But the messenger named [Red Tide] directly exploded his body at this time, turning into a mist of water that enveloped the surroundings.
   "Sister Hu Mei, you know, I'm not good at fighting, but I'm good at hiding. As long as you can't touch my real body, even if you have the ability to space, you can't send me away... Stop fighting."
   "I must take away [Yetianji]! No one can stop me and Nuo Gong from leaving!"
   "Sister Hu Mei, is he really Lord Nuo?"
   "Even the grandmother never gave up on him, he is not, who is! Don't talk nonsense!"
   "Then... Then what if the Nuo woman you see is not the real Nuo woman?"
   "Don't mess with my mind!"
   "I understand." A faint sigh sounded: "People only believe what they see, but even we, the messengers of five colors, are actually the same."
   "Damn it!" Hu Mei shouted violently.
  In an instant, with her as the center, a terrifying space vortex with a diameter of more than 100 meters began to form... 100 meters is just its starting point, and this terrifying vortex is still expanding frantically.
   This is obviously not a conventional force.
   "Actually, did you get to this point..." Only the voice of [Red Tide] sounded faintly: "Love, what kind of feeling is it?"
   In the vortex of space that was expanding wildly, the sound of [Red Tide] gradually disappeared... The mist that enveloped the surrounding area seemed to have been cut into atoms by countless space blades.
   At this time, with Hu Mei as the center point, a large pit of several hundred meters appeared in front of Kobayashi SIR - everything disappeared, only Hu Mei stood in the air.
   But she fell instantly.
   Xiaolin SIR was stunned, hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, jumped high, and caught Hu Mei... This graceful woman looked extremely tired at this time.
   "You... are you okay?"
   "Quick...open the main hall." Hu Mei said weakly, "[Red Tide] is very difficult to kill... Only before it recovers... Nuo Gong... hurry up."
  —This woman is really for [himself]...
   Xiaolin SIR's heart trembled, he couldn't bear this unreserved gaze, because he knew that all this was just some kind of coquettish operation of Tantai Daxian.
   - Lin Feng, you are just a single dog for ten thousand years, don't take it seriously!
  —the person she really loves is not you!
  —You can't afford such a relationship...
   "Okay, I'll go get you the [Heavenly Secret]." Xiaolin SIR took a deep breath at this time: "You want so much..."
   As soon as he gritted his teeth, Xiaolin SIR hugged Hu Mei horizontally, and rushed towards the main entrance of the main hall without saying a word... He carefully placed Hu Mei next to him, then poured all his strength into his hands, and pushed towards the door.
  However, Kobayashi SIR tried his best, but he couldn't push the giant gate in the slightest—he had the gate on his back, and he still couldn't shake it!
As soon as    breathed out, Kobayashi SIR sat down panting heavily.
   He looked at Hu Mei's gaze, only felt numb for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I feel...do you really need a real son of Huaxu to qualify?"
"How could this be? You are Nuo Gong, and you are also the pure blood of Huaxu. Why can't you...why..." She looked at it absently, and then reluctantly regained her strength, "It doesn't matter, I'll think about it again, Maybe it's because of you that you wake up... It must be because of this, it must be, don't be discouraged, I will find a way."
"I'm not Nuo Gong." Xiaolin SIR said quietly at this time, "Have you ever thought about it, maybe I'm just [like]... Do you know me? You don't know me at all, you don't know my past, you don't know My everything."
"No, you are!" Hu Mei went mad, "If you don't say it, why would the Nuo woman look for you! If you don't say it, why is the Nuo Gong sword on you... If you don't say it, how can you break out? The power to fight against the master for a moment! Do you dare to say that these are all fake!"
Lin Feng smiled bitterly, "I only know, you said that you love me...but I don't even have any memory of you, even if I really want to convince myself, I just accept all this passively. But as long as I think of such a relationship, When it's unreal like that... You know, how much I wish I was just a scumbag at this moment, so I don't have to worry about anything."
   "You...you don't like me anymore?" Hu Mei said in a trembling voice.
   "You said yes, that's it." Kobayashi SIR sighed, "It's not that I don't like it, but I'm afraid I don't have the qualifications to pretend to be someone else... Maybe you should wake up."
   "You don't like me anymore, you don't like me anymore..." Hu Mei lost her eyes and murmured and laughed, "Gong Nuo doesn't like me anymore, doesn't want me anymore... I don't want this kind of world anymore, I don't love it anymore."
   At the main entrance of the main hall, a vortex two or three meters in size appeared quietly.
   At the juncture of life and death, Xiaolin SIR opened his mouth and looked at Hu Mei's incomparably beautiful eyes, his heart trembled... Even if he just wanted to say something nice at this moment?
   "I...I'm not Nuo Gong."
   "Destroy it." Hu Mei's eyes were empty, and the vortex fell instantly.
   Kobayashi SIR is unavoidable, but at this time, his heart is calm... calm is like standing in a pool of water without a wave.
   He suddenly [saw] the reflection in the pool.
   In the reflection, it was the guy who gave him the Nuo Gong sword.
-I'm not you.
   The reflection shattered instantly.
   He, who is already powerless to resist, is waiting for death at this time...with only a little regret in his heart.
   Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air sounded.
  …
In the sound of   's roaring air, a cold light shot out, and the falling vortex was directly scattered... The cold light finally nailed it on the door, which was a simple dagger.
   "Nuo Gongjian?!" Lin Feng subconsciously looked at the place where the cold light came from, and saw two figures quickly stepping out of the air at this time, he was surprised and happy, "Daxian! And...Linger..."
  …
   The scrawny Tantai Daxian looked at this moment, her face still lacking much blood... She was really about to become a walking skeleton.
   I saw Tantai Daxian curled his lips at this time, "You are really useless, your wife has given you, and you can't get up! Is such a good body not greedy?"
   "You did a good job!" Kobayashi SIR gave him an indignant look.
  Tantai Daxian ignored him, Hu Mei still hasn't solved it here - but Ling'er has already taken a step forward, waving his hand and brushing out a colorful light, directly imprisoning Hu Mei.
   "Grandma Nuo!" Hu Mei was full of grief and indignation, her eyes resentful, "It must be you... It must be you who washed away the friendship of Grandpa Nuo to me! It's you!"
   "It's really noisy." Ling'er snorted lightly, directly sealing Hu Mei's mouth, and then stared at Tantai Daxian angrily, "You did a good deed!"
  Tantai Daxian shrugged and said irresponsibly, "At least you two are not doing well now."
Xiaolin SIR quickly said: "Miss Tantai, is there any way you can get out of here? I heard from Hu Mei just now that this place will soon be broken... It seems that her master is fighting against the powerful! What kind of immortals are these? Fight!"
   "Maybe it's really immortal." Tantai Daxian chuckled, "What's in it?"
"Okay...it seems to be a treasure in the ancestral temple." Xiaolin SIR glanced at Hu Mei and then at Ling'er before he bit the bullet and said, "Miss Tantai, you must listen to the story of people dying for wealth and birds for food. Let's go! Let's get out of here!"
   "It's all here." Tantai snorted calmly, "Don't you even look at it?"
   said, Tantai calmly pushed towards the gate without saying a word... but no matter how much power she urged, she couldn't shake the gate in the slightest.
   "This thing, it seems that you can't use brute force." Tantai was calm and serious.
   "You can't open it even with skill." Ling'er said coldly.
   "Tear down?" Daxian was instantly dissatisfied.
   But I saw Linger suddenly put her hand on the door and pushed it gently... The giant door slowly opened a gap.
  Tantai calmly blinked his eyes and said, "It's interesting."
   Kobayashi SIR blurted out, "Linger, so you are the son of Huaxu!"
"The son of Huaxu hasn't been born yet." Ling'er said faintly, looking at Xiaolin SIR with a sad face, "The so-called son of Huaxu can only be opened, but it's just a lie... This door is only recognized by Huaxu. It's just the soul of a family."
  The imprisoned Hu Mei seemed to have calmed down a little, but at this moment she was still staring at Linger and never relaxed.
  Tantai Daxian thought for a while and said, "You...why are you so clear?"
  Linger said indifferently: "I know, because the first person who went in was me... [Yetianji], I also used it."
   said, Linger pushed the door further open, and then walked straight into it.
   Her voice came from inside, but it was for Kobayashi SIR, "You...don't you want to know the truth, you really want to know, then come in with me...but maybe, I'll eat you."
   Kobayashi SIR couldn't help shivering... Eat this, is it democratic?
  …
  …
  Like two meteors, they fell to the ground—in this desolate world, a huge sandstorm broke out.
   The light of the famous sword in the east was dim, and the girl's clothes were like fragments, and she was in a state of embarrassment.
To the west of   , [Vega] had hundreds of sword marks on his body, blood gushing out, and there were even bones.
  The girl was thousands of meters away, looking at the figure in the west, and struggling to mention [Xuanyuan Xia Yu] again...but the famous sword seemed to be whining and trembling, obviously it was some kind of limit.
   "If you didn't use [Xingchensha] to practice again, maybe this time..."
   The girl pondered, only to see the terrifying guy in the west, slowly approaching at this time
   Fighting such an old legend... Even if only the will of the primordial spirit is left, it is like fighting a nightmare boss, and the girl can't help but feel powerless.
   She knew that Nuwa must be a top-level powerhouse in the old Void Era... But is the gap between the old and the new era really that big?
  Fuxi [Throne] is really a high-end game...
   "Even if you don't have a position, you can fight me to this extent. As a loose immortal, you are proud of yourself." [Vega] jumped up, and he could see that he was exhausted, but at the same time he obviously still had the strength to fight.
   Having said that, [Vega] slammed a punch directly, and there is no way to say anything, and the instinctive wildness seems to be the most real fist.
   But at the moment when the fist was swung, the steel-like arm was actually shattered every inch... With this fist, the entire arm of [Vega] was directly annihilated and disappeared.
   "Looks like the body you came to is already abolished." The girl gave a miserable smile.
  【Vega】Since that arm was annihilated, dense cracks appeared all over his body, as if the glass statue that was reassembled and glued was broken.
   "It's enough to kill you!"
   "I hope you can speak like this again soon." The girl suddenly sighed, and then spread out her palm, a black vortex… In the vortex, an ominous aura was spreading.
   Feeling this ominous aura, [Vega]'s expression changed slightly!
  In an instant, I saw a terrifying head rushing out of the vortex... Then there were a dozen pairs of weird claws, frantically trying to tear apart the vortex!
   "Demon God?!"
"This thing is called Primordial Demon." The girl said indifferently: "If you kill too much in your spare time, you will get tired, and you will also catch a few to keep... It is very useful for cleaning up garbage. As I said, entering the void is for the soul of the source. In other words, it's just courting death... these guys have been hungry for a long time!"
  Sizzle—!
   In an instant, dozens...hundreds, like a long torrent, pieces of Void Primal Demon escaped from the girl's palm.
   "There is also a Yuanzu Yuanmo here..."
In the face of hundreds of Void Primordial Demons... Foreign Demon Gods, if it was normal, [He] would have no fear, but at this time, his body has collapsed, and the battle with the girl is for the will that has just awakened, Unintentionally is a huge drain.
   "Damn..."
  【Vega】Do not advance but retreat at this time... retreat quickly.
  [He] needs a carrier, a powerful carrier that can carry the will of [It], the mother of all things!
  The girl can only watch the mad Yuan Demons chase each other away... The source soul's attraction to Yuan Demon is obviously greater than that of herself as a Void powerhouse.
   She was planted in the sand at this moment... In fact, she was already at the end of her battle.
   "You...you are there."
   The girl suddenly said something softly.
   It's just an empty desert, but it's unusually quiet.
The girl said indifferently: "I won't let you marry me anymore, why should you hide from me... I asked you for the [Book of the Sky], but I also dealt with Nuwa, and the deal with you has been completed... I wonder if you will be satisfied. "
  The desert is still unusually quiet, but there is a faint light shining down... The girl only feels tired.
  The girl sat cross-legged and entered the meditation. Before entering the meditation, she suddenly chuckled, "I can't get your promise, it's Feipeng Fubo."
   That gleam suddenly disappeared.
  The girl didn't care either, and healed herself.
  …
  …
   Kobayashi SIR went in without hesitation.
  Tantai Daxian will not be missed.
  The two stepped into the main hall almost one after the other...I saw thousands of oil lamps lit in rows in the main hall.
  In the ancient hall, it was particularly empty, with only one high platform, on which there was a golden lotus statue... A square box the size of a basketball was suspended above the lotus statue.
   At this time, Linger had already climbed to the high platform and was silently waiting for the two...Lin Feng to arrive.
  Lin Feng subconsciously looked at the calmness of Tantai, but he got a hint of encouragement from Daxian's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed.
   "Lao Lin, I can't change it again. If you don't get along well with this girl, you should commit suicide on the spot."
   What is this...
   Kobayashi SIR opened his mouth, but he still bravely climbed onto the high platform... He looked at Linger, but he hesitated.
   I saw Ling'er suddenly stretched out her hand and took out the square box on the lotus stone statue, "Actually, the [Yetianji] you're looking for is long gone... This box is empty."
   The two of them almost in unison, their eyes widened, "What?"
   Linger slowly opened the square box, "When I used it...the last time, it was..."
   "Wait, isn't this something?" Kobayashi SIR subconsciously pointed his finger at the square box, "Is there something?"
   "One..." Tantai Daxian also said in amazement at this time: "Muyu? This is the legendary treasure that reverses yin and yang and can regenerate time?"
"How could it be..." But seeing Ling'er looking at the wooden fish in the square box at this time, she was stunned for a while... After a long time, Ling'er sighed and said with a wry smile: "It seems that that person has been here before. here…"
   "Who?" Tantai asked calmly and subconsciously.
   Linger gritted her teeth and said, "A damned monk!"
