Chapter 896: Stranger
The sound was getting closer and closer, and Zhang Zhenfeng seemed to hear footsteps. Is there anyone else in this barren desert? or a wandering ghost?
The footsteps got closer and closer, and Tianjizi vigilantly came out of the "mummy" sleeping bag.
The "mummy" is one of the main styles of sleeping bags, which have a hood, large at the top and small at the bottom, to match the shape of the human body, and the side of the sleeping bag is equipped with a zipper for easy access.
There is something wrong with the sound of this footstep, it is always light and heavy. Tianjizi's keen sense of hearing was specially trained, and he judged that this person must be lame, or his leg was injured.
The light of the flashlight came out of the doorway of the inn, followed by a dark shadow flickering in.
"Who are you?"
Long Jingtian couldn't help but get nervous.
The person who suddenly broke into the post station was also startled, he didn't expect that there would be many people here.
"I, I'm here to explore the desert, and I'm here to stay overnight when it's dark. ”
The black shadow was a little hesitant when he answered, judging by the intuition of Tianjizi who had been in a hundred battles for many years, this person did not tell the truth.
Tianjizi is experienced, and he didn't let the other party see that he was suspicious of him at all. The LED lights were turned on by Tianjizi, and the dilapidated room of the post station was much brighter. He could also see the man's figure and face clearly.
The visitor was 1.75 meters tall, about 50 years old, with dark skin and a sun hat. Even in the dim light, his eyes were as bright as owls hunting at night.
This man is not simple, he is not an ordinary tourist or explorer. There was a murderous aura on his body, and it was difficult to hide his powerful aura even in the dark.
This person took a few steps forward, he was really a lame man, and it seemed that Tianjizi's judgment was not wrong.
"You don't mind if I live under the same roof with you tonight, do you?"
This person said that he was already sitting on the ground, and he didn't look at Tianjizi's eyes, as if he had some ulterior secret.
"Of course I don't mind. Long Jingtian said proudly, "The people who are in the world are one family, and we will meet here if we are fated." ”
The man turned his head to Long Jingtian, "Hehe, I can't see that it is so reasonable." ”
As soon as he heard others praise him, Long Jingtian immediately became complacent, "Of course." Tianjizi was so angry, he didn't expect the two rice buckets around him to be so unvigilant, and he told each other about his old background after a while.
"It turned out to be a colleague in the righteous realm, no wonder the aura is extraordinary!"
This man really can talk. In fact, he wanted to use this method to get more words about Long Sedum.
"What do you call this big brother?"
Tianjizi hurriedly interjected, lest Long Jingtian reveal more information. The man turned his head, and his eyes met Tianjizi for less than a second, and then he dodged.
"My surname is Jia, you can call me Lao Jia. ”
When strangers meet for the first time, they will not tell each other their names, and people who have been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time have such vigilance.
"Lao Jia, have you ever been a Taoist priest?" Tianjizi suddenly asked. This question made Lao Jia stunned for a moment, but he quickly concealed the horror in his heart.
"You are really good eyesight, I used to be a Taoist priest for ten years, and this leg was injured in practice. ”
As soon as Long Jingtian heard the word "practice", he immediately came to his senses.
Long Jingtian wanted to ask again, but Tianjizi turned off the LED flashlight, "Okay, go to sleep, I have to hurry tomorrow!"
Tianjizi was full of wariness of this uninvited guest, and judging from his years of experience in reading countless people, this old Jia was by no means a good person. He had come here alone with a lame leg, not for adventure or tourism. So Tianjizi hurriedly urged Long Jingtian to sleep, but he maintained a high degree of vigilance and never closed his eyes.
Soon, there was a thunderous snoring sound in the post station, which was started by the old man. It's good now, Tianjizi can't sleep even if he wants to. He looked at the roof of the inn with his eyes open.
There was a palm-sized hole in the roof, and through this hole, Tianjizi saw the bright night sky. The stars twinkled in the vast universe, and at this moment in the desert, they seemed so small, like a grain of sand.
Suddenly, a bright star stopped twinkling. It slowly changed and eventually turned into a strange face. The face was smirking at the sky, as if to foretell that something terrible was about to happen.
The snoring stopped abruptly, and the inn became deathly silent. Tianjizi looked around, and there was no one in sight in the night.
Click
This is the sound of feet rubbing against the ground. Who can walk with a shuffling step? Who else must be the lame old man.
In the dead of night, when everyone was already asleep, Lao Jia quietly dragged his lame leg around the house, he must have a bad intention.
Tianjizi was thinking like this, when suddenly a cold light flashed, and a bright sharp knife appeared above his head. Behind the sharp knife is a hideous smiling face, and that person is Lao Jia.
Tianjizi's kung fu naturally didn't say, he was going to come to a carp to stand up, and then subdue this old Jia. However, when he raised his legs to make a movement, he realized that his hands and feet had been tied.
How could it be that he was tied hand and foot without realizing it. It seems that today I really met a robber, and he is still a master.
In the moonlight, the sharp knife approached Tianjizi's throat with a cold murderous aura. The sharp knife had already been attached to Tianjizi's throat, and the sharp blade could easily cut through his throat and take his life in an instant.
Who, who, who!!
Suddenly, the disciples roared wildly and pounced on Lao Jia. Tianjizi opened his eyes, and it turned out that this was a terrible dream. Lao Jia was still lying there snoring like thunder, but the disciples made some noise.
"Hey, don't scream, everyone's sleeping. Tianjizi reached out and patted the disciples on the head.
The disciples hummed softly, as if they were very aggrieved. After many years of mentoring and apprenticeship, they can communicate smoothly without language. From the voices of the disciples, Tianjizi could judge that the noise of the disciples just now was for a reason.
"What's going on?" Tianjizi stood up. The disciples ran towards the door, and Tianjizi followed closely behind.
Hurry up, everyone, take a look!
Coming to the gate of the post station, the disciples raised their heads and looked into the distance a few times. Tianjizi looked into the distance, and in the dark night of the inky desert, several rays of light were particularly eye-catching. Not just because these rays of light pierce the night, but because they change unusually.
"Tianjizi, you don't sleep, what are you coming here to see?" Long Jingtian's voice came from behind him. He was awakened by urine.
"Someone is in distress!"
Tianjizi didn't look back, and said in a solemn voice.
"What? Someone is in distress!"
Long Jingtian's urine that had just been sprinkled half was immediately held back.
"Well, we have to rush over and save people as soon as possible, and a minute sooner we will have a little more hope of survival. ”
Tianjizi turned around and returned to the post station, he wanted to bring some rescue equipment. Zhang Zhenfeng and Lao Jia were also woken up by the shouts of the disciples and the shouts of Long Jingtian.
Tianjizi was originally going to take his disciples alone to rescue people in distress. But Long Jingtian and Zhang Zhenfeng insisted on following, and he had no choice but to agree.
"If it weren't for my inconvenient legs, I would definitely go with you to save people. Lao Jia dragged his lame leg over and said.
Tianjizi looked at Lao Jia sincerely, "Please take care of the things here, we will rush back as soon as we save people." ”
Lao Jia patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, I won't lose anything here." ”
Ok, good, good!
The disciples couldn't wait for a long time, and urged at the door.
Long Jingtian couldn't wait to jump out. He regards himself as a chivalrous warrior every day, and today is definitely a great opportunity to achieve his dreams.
"You want to be a hero and want to go crazy, right?" Zhang Zhenfeng said disdainfully, "It's obviously a bear's material, but you always want to be a hero." ”
Long Jingtian waved his fist at Zhang Zhenfeng, "You are challenging my psychological bottom line." ”
"I've never seen a hero swing his fist at his peers. So, you are true, 100 percent, without any impurities. ”
If you want to outperform Zhang Zhenfeng in lip service, Long Jingtian still has a long way to go. Tianjizi didn't speak, and took a big stride towards the distance where the light was shining.
Long Jingtian and Zhang Zhenfeng had to speed up their steps so that they could keep up with Tianjizi. The disciples ran faster, and it had long been waiting for everyone in a long way away.
"Tianjizi, on what basis did you tell that someone was in distress? Maybe it was just a few people who were walking at night. Zhang Zhenfeng was always worried that they would be in vain and would waste their efforts.
"You don't understand this, real food!" Without waiting for Tianjizi to speak, Long Jingtian became angry, this was a good opportunity for him to show off in front of the smart Long Jingtian.
"Hmph!" Zhang Zhenfeng let out a snort of disdain from his nostrils.
"Listen to me, you nobody. Long Jingtian's heart was like being burned by fire, and angry flames came out from the inside out. "The light in the distance is different from the ordinary light, it is very regular, it is a continuous alternation of three short and three long. ”
Zhang Zhenfeng carefully observed the changes in the light in the distance, and it was true that as he said, the light always flashed three times first, and then three times.
"So what does this mean?" Zhang Zhenfeng began to humble.
"Okay, is there any food?" Zhang Zhenfeng suddenly changed his tone again.
"Anything else?" Zhang Zhenfeng stretched out his hand.
Long Jingtian slapped Zhang Zhenfeng's palm hard, "It's gone, that's it." It's really holding on and going backwards. A natural!"
"You're too hypocritical, you just don't want to give me food, you just deliberately take it out to feed me. ”
What could Long Jingtian say in the face of such a scoundrel person! If God gave her another chance, she would rather choose to be reincarnated in someone else's house than know the guy in front of her.
This is an uphill road, and wherever Tianjizi walks, there will be a string of deep foot sockets left on the sand. Long Jingtian and Zhang Zhenfeng followed behind, trying to step on the footsteps of Tianjizi, because this would save some effort.
