Chapter 269: Gambling
The starlight is like tears, weaving a thin veil and spilling it on the shoulders. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xuan Lao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly watching the starlight flowing outside the window. The half of the mask on the right side of the face reflects the hazy starlight, faintly revealing a bit of gloom and loneliness.
"Grandpa?" Hua Fengyan looked at him in a daze and tilted her head, "What's wrong with you?"
The white robe reached the ground, dyed with a bright starlight.
Xuan Lao slowly turned around, looked at her, and smiled faintly:
"Nothing...... Just remembered some of the past. ”
Hua Fengyan nodded lightly, her expression still a little dignified:
"Grandpa, look...... Is it necessary to continue to send people to pursue? After all, it was not an ordinary person who escaped, but an S-class criminal on the 56th floor of the Spiral Tower, one of the twelve holy angels three hundred years ago. Yeona thinks...... It is necessary to take advantage of the victory to pursue and cut the grass to the roots. ”
Xuan Lao looked out the window quietly and did not speak.
Half a day.
“…… Not necessarily. ”
didn't look at Hua Fengyan with a puzzled face behind him, he still looked out the window, and his voice was faint:
"Zero, that kid has never been serious, and the Fierce Ghost was subjected to intensive strangulation wounds all over his body, and later used his own blood to forcibly create a teleportation array technique......"
"Seriously wounded, bleeding profusely, and evading pursuers and fleeing for his life...... I guess I won't survive. ”
Hua Fengyan looked at him, frowned slightly, as if she wanted to say something, and paused again:
“…… Zero?"
The voice was low, revealing a little doubt.
"Grandpa, I heard that on the day Lie Geying fled, a pair of powerful boys and girls appeared in the Ice Sea of the Spiral Tower...... This 'zero' in your mouth is one of them?"
Hua Fengyan pursed her mouth lightly and snorted from her nose:
"Ellen Is, there is such a person who can easily crush the Holy Angel, why don't I know? Grandpa, when did you hide it from me and secretly accept some powerful disciples?"
Xuan Lao looked at her pouting and looked dissatisfied, and smiled faintly:
"They are indeed strong, but they are not my disciples. ”
"That's," Hua Fengyan looked at him and raised her eyebrows, "Grandpa's disciples are only me and Jing, and the others, Yan'er doesn't recognize them." ”
Xuan Lao looked at her with a proud look, smiled and shook his head.
"Grandpa, you haven't answered me yet," Hua Fengyan frowned lightly as if remembering something, "Since you said that those two people are not your disciples, then who are they? With such strength, they must not be ordinary people." ”
Xuan Lao smiled faintly, slowly lowered his eyelids, and his voice was as soft as a drifting cloud:
"Nature is not an ordinary person. They...... It's Ellens' secret weapon. ”
“…… Weapons??" Hua Fengyan frowned, "Grandpa, can you make it clear?"
"Alright, Yan'er, don't ask more. ”
Xuan Lao raised his eyes to look at her, his voice was flat and gentle, but there was a hint of unmistakable:
"When the time comes, grandpa will naturally inform you. ”
Hua Fengyan looked at his suddenly cooled expression and was stunned, and gently pursed her mouth:
"Hmph...... All right. Grandpa actually hid something from me, and deliberately sold the guanzi, which was too ......"
Xuan Lao looked at her dissatisfied appearance and sighed softly:
"Girl...... You're busy enough to manage the affairs of the Spiral Tower and Tianshui District, so leave the rest to Grandpa to arrange. Although Grandpa is old, he has not yet reached the point where he can't do anything. ”
Hua Fengyan glanced at him, snorted, and raised her chin:
"It's pretty much the same. Talking counts, grandpa, you have to make it clear to Yan'er at 1510. ”
"You girl," Xuan Lao reached out and knocked on her head, and smiled helplessly, "In Elenis, you dare to talk to grandpa like this!"
Hua Fengyan snorted nonchalantly, her expression paused slightly, she raised her eyes to look at Xuan Lao, and her eyes returned to serious and solemn again:
"So, grandpa, what do you mean...... We're going to pull out the pursuers and stop searching?"
Xuan Lao's voice was faint:
"Those who are barely breathing do not need to work hard for them. ”
Hua Fengyan frowned slightly, hesitated, and still spoke:
"But after all, it was the ghost of the Holy Angel, so let him wander to the outside world, I'm afraid that there will be another branch......"
"Although the Spirited Ghost is now seriously injured and still breathing, and he is alone in the dangerous and mysterious outside world of Galandelle, even if he is lucky enough not to die at the hands of the demons......"
"What if someone else saves me?"
Xuan Lao looked at the worry in her eyes and slowly shook his head:
"From what I knew about Ghost three hundred years ago, he was an extremely conceited and wary man. ”
"From the moment he tried to escape the spiral tower disguised as a food delivery girl, but I saw through and intercepted him, he probably didn't think he would escape unscathed. The Blood Oath Teleportation Array took a long time to prepare, and if I guessed correctly, he should have already started planning and setting it up from that moment. ”
"Including conversations with me, slowly and methodically wrestling with the eyebrows, and even deliberately getting injured, quietly using the blood flowing from the wound to secretly conclude a magic circle...... It's all about stalling for time. ”
It's just that he overlooked one point - that child zero, although he was still young and ordinary, was quick and decisive, and he was ruthless, leaving him no time to breathe. ”
Hua Fengyan looked at him quietly, raising her chin slightly, her crimson eyes revealing a little thoughtful and a little arrogant disdain.
"So, even though he managed to escape, he was so fatally wounded...... Even if it's as cunning as a ghost, I shouldn't have thought of it. ”
Xuan Lao slowly raised his eyes, and his eyes were thoughtful:
"Now he is seriously wounded and has fled, and in order to avoid his pursuers, he has to go alone to the perilous outside of Galandelle......
"And according to what I know about Lie's ghost, in this life-threatening situation, in order to protect himself, he is likely to use illusions to disguise himself to avoid potential dangers, and then find an opportunity to hide and heal himself......"
Hua Fengyan's eyes flashed slightly, and she frowned slightly:
"Disguise yourself with illusion?"
Xuan Lao looked at her and nodded: "That's right." ”
"No one can solve the illusion that Poppy Yuci has concluded, so ......" Hua Fengyan tilted her head slightly, "He has eliminated the possibility of being discovered and attacked by demons or other dangerous creatures, and at the same time, he has also eliminated the possibility of being rescued by well-wishers......?"
Xuan Lao nodded slightly:
"Yes, outside Galandelle, where the demon clan is full of power, the probability of the seriously injured Spirit's ghost being discovered by demons or other dangerous creatures is as high as 99%, and the probability of being rescued by the so-called well-wishers is only 1%, and he will not risk his life with this 1%, so ......"
Hua Fengyan nodded, and her expression suddenly realized:
Therefore, he is shutting off his tail to survive, desperately trying to wrap himself in illusions, avoiding danger and cutting off his way of life. ”
"He is gambling with the sky, betting that even if he is seriously injured, he can still have a breath left, and he will wake up without help, and he will recover from treatment and ......"
Hua Fengyan raised her eyebrows slightly:
"It's worthy of being a holy angel in the past, and it's quite backbone. But if I want me to say that I have suffered an injury of that magnitude, I want to wake up and heal myself without anyone to help me...... Pipe dream. ”
Xuan Lao's eyelids drooped slightly, and his voice was faint:
"yes. But...... In that case, he had no choice but to gamble. ”
Hua Fengyan straightened a few strands of hair around her ears, her expression was a little lighter, and the corners of her lips hooked up a light smile:
"Grandpa, after you say this, Yan'er is not worried at all. ”
"The illusion given by Poppy Feather is exquisite, no one in this world can see through it, and the Fierce Ghost is dying by a thread, and there is no possibility of him surviving without help. Even if he survived by luck, he was in the realm of the demon clan's forces full of dangers, and he couldn't afford to be a prodigal son. ”
Xuan Lao smiled faintly and nodded.
"Alright, Grandpa, I'll withdraw Galandelle's pursuers immediately," Hua Fengyan smiled brightly, looking in a good mood, "I still have something to do, go back to the Spiral Tower first." If it weren't for the matter in the Qingxuan District and I wasn't in the Spiral Tower, I would have killed Binghai on the spot, and I would have avoided this endless trouble. ”
Xuan Lao watched her salute herself, nodded slightly, and Hua Fengyan turned around and disappeared behind the falling dark red curtain.
The starry light in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows is once again quiet.
The white robe drooped lightly, sprinkling a warm starlight.
The old man stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, surrounded by starlight.
Turning slowly, he raised his head and looked out the window at the flowing Milky Way and the shining stars......
The old man's voice was faintly hoarse, and it sounded low, like muttering:
"Ghosting...... Let's make a bet, too. I'll bet you'......"
"To live. ”
