Chapter Fifty-Eight: Between Life and Death
"They're all dead. Su Yuxin said nonchalantly.
"I'm sorry...... I shouldn't have asked that question. Hua Zisheng said apologetically, I didn't ask so deeply if I knew it, and it didn't have much to do with others, just a night's sleep.
"It's okay big brother, I haven't seen them anyway, my grandmother raised me so big. ”
The two chatted casually, until the old woman asked Su Yuxin to cook, Hua Zisheng quieted down, and after chatting for so long, he didn't get much news from Su Yuxin here.
The courtyard of this thatched house is quite large, with a circle of bamboo fences around the side, and all kinds of flowers and plants are planted, but Hua Zisheng is not in the mood to appreciate these, he stares at the dark outside, and his face gradually becomes solemn.
Outside the bamboo fence, it can be said that it is pitch black, and that kind of darkness is not like the darkness that Hua Zisheng saw, but like a kind of substantial darkness, and the lights in the courtyard cannot penetrate it.
In addition, he also found that those bamboo hedges were carved with golden runes, and these runes all emitted a faint light, which could not be seen at all if he did not look closely.
"Found it?" A hoarse voice sounded from behind, making Hua Zisheng jump up directly in fright, and subconsciously used his vitality.
"Young man, don't be surprised, you want to scare the old woman to death?" The old woman was also frightened by Hua Zisheng's violent reaction and took two steps back.
"Senpai, I was thinking about things just now, I'm really sorry......"
"Come on, come and eat, what's the matter, I'll ask after eating. So saying, the old woman walked slowly into the house on crutches.
In this strange place, Hua Zisheng didn't want to eat, after all, it didn't matter much if a martial artist like him didn't eat, but seeing that the old woman had already walked back to the room, he could only follow in.
Although the thatched house does not look very large, there are two doors on each side of the hall, and there should be four rooms not counting the upper hall.
"Big brother, sit down and eat. Su Yuxin held a bowl of white rice and handed it to Hua Zisheng, and her light voice was very comfortable to listen to.
"Thank you. After taking the bowl, Hua Zisheng sat next to Su Yuxin, except for the mahogany chair where the old woman was sitting, there was only the bench that Su Yuxin sat on, so he could only sit here.
However, because he is not familiar with this grandfather and grandson, he is still eating at their house at this time, and he is a little uncomfortable.
After the meal, Hua Zisheng sat in the courtyard, looking at this unfamiliar environment, not knowing what to do, should he go back tomorrow? But he didn't finish his task, how could he just go back.
This strange and strange place did give rise to some fear in his heart, but not to mention that the disciples of the Hidden Dragon Sect would come here to practice, just with his own beliefs, he couldn't just retreat, that would only become his shackles and make him stop at a certain realm.
"Young man, do you think there's anything different outside?" the old woman walked up to Hua Zisheng, pointed to the dark night sky, and asked slowly.
"It's dark. After being silent for a while, Hua Zisheng said these two words.
The old woman smiled undeniably, but her smile was very penetrating, which made Hua Zisheng's heart a little hairy, she walked to the bamboo fence by herself, plucked a flower everywhere, and stretched out of the bamboo fence.
In less than a breath, the old woman took the flower back, but Hua Zisheng's gaze froze, and the section of the flower stretched out was gone, as if it had been swallowed up by something.
"See?" the old woman asked as she looked at Hua Zisheng.
"What's that?"
The old woman didn't answer Hua Zisheng's words, but smiled and asked, "Isn't the young man curious why there are no demon beasts here?"
The old woman's smile always made Hua Zisheng feel creepy, as if he was facing a dead man, but hearing her words, Hua Zisheng still asked curiously: "Well, I hope the seniors will tell me." ”
"Hehe, you came in from the outside, do you feel anything strange?"
This question made Hua Zisheng fall into deep thought, there are many strange places, such as this place is very dark, and he has not encountered a single demon beast and so on.
"Didn't you think about going back the way you came?" asked the old woman again.
"I have a mission with me, and I won't go back until I finish it. Hua Zisheng's eyes kept flickering, and he thought about returning the same way, but it was only a momentary thought, and finally decided to move forward and complete the task.
"Alas, what a stubborn child. After a pause, the old woman continued: "Did you know that sometimes there is only one line between life and death?"
"The younger generation is stupid, and I hope that the seniors will point it out. ”
"Since you entered the twilight valley in your mouth, you have actually stepped into the world of life and death, and the people outside are also called the world of life and death, and I don't know how long it has been since I thought of life or death, and there will be living people who accidentally break into here. ”
As she spoke, the old woman shouted into the room, "Xin'er, come out, suck his blood, and you can go out." ”
The old woman's words made Hua Zisheng's heart froze, and he was about to run away, but he found that he couldn't move, except for his mind remaining awake, his whole body was unconscious.
At this time, Su Yuxin reluctantly walked up to Hua Zisheng, turned her head to look at the old woman, and said, "Grandma, do you have to do this?"
"If you let this kid go, when will you wait for this silly boy, you can't wait any longer!" said the old woman, very excited.
"Don't say it! either suck his blood dry, or be found and taken away by this demon between life and death!" the old woman's cloudy gaze became much sharper, and her voice was very cold.
Hearing the second half of the old woman's words, Su Yuxin's body was obviously trembling slightly, trembling with fear.
She hesitated for a moment, then squatted down, holding one of Hua Zisheng's hands with both hands, and looked at Hua Zisheng with complicated eyes.
"Why?" At this time, Hua Zisheng calmed down, he couldn't move, he didn't have the power to return to the sky at all, he obviously felt that this girl was very innocent in her heart, but he didn't know why this old woman wanted her to suck her own blood.
All this looked very ridiculous, when he was separated from Long Yi, he was still thinking about how to complete these tasks as quickly as possible, he would never have thought that he would encounter this kind of thing that night, it was very dreamy.
Of course, all of these things only stayed in his mind for a moment, and the final picture was fixed on a stunning girl, this time, will you live up to her again?
"Grandma said, I can leave this place after sucking the blood of a living person......" Su Yuxin bowed her head slightly, and in the corner of her eye, I don't know when, a teardrop condensed, maybe it was too cruel for her to do such a thing.
"Girl, what are you still thinking, hurry up!"
Hearing this, Su Yuxin opened her small mouth slightly, revealing two sharp tiger teeth that were longer than ordinary people, and she was about to bite down on Hua Zisheng's hand.
