Chapter 2: The Bloody Old Man

"It's Xiao Xu!" Hu Tu pointed to the two children who fainted on the ground in front of the wooden house, the one with the better face was about to run forward, Chen De grabbed him and said, "Senior brother, you don't look at the surrounding environment, why are you so impulsive!" ”

Hu Tu smiled, nodded, and said, "What Senior Brother said! ”

Ran Hanchuan held the long sword that Chen De lent him in his hand and looked around carefully. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The vegetation here has the same deep green of midsummer, but it has shrunk to a clump and the trees have become lifeless. The wooden house seems to have been newly built for a short time, and the style is very simple, it should have been built by someone casually, and there is no intention of permanent residence. The color of the wooden house is also very pale, because the raw materials used to build the wooden house are all wood that has lost its breath of life. The door was slightly open with a small slit, and it was impossible to see what was in the room.

Outside the house, the two children fainted on the ground, one was very pale, that unhealthy complexion, Ran Hanchuan remembered that it should be the result of excessive blood loss. The other child's face was quite healthy, but he also fell to the ground unconscious, looking about the same age as Ran Hanchuan.

Chen De and Hu Tu cautiously stepped forward, came to the two children, saw that the surroundings were still quiet, there was nothing unusual, and they couldn't help but be suspicious, and when they were about to wake up the two children, suddenly, a somewhat hoarse voice appeared in the ears of the three people, sounding very dead.

"Hehe, are you two juniors here to send me a child, thank you so much!"

This voice suddenly rose behind Ran Hanchuan, echoing in his ears without warning, and in an instant he was scared of his soul, fortunately his psychological quality has grown a lot compared to three years ago, and he felt the cold and danger like a bone appendage, and the long sword in his hand was directly picked back, and the shot was the "Yun Dang" in the "Xingyun Sword Technique".

A sword was picked out, and a slight sound was heard behind him, and he knew that the man took a few steps back, avoided the sword move, and hurriedly rushed forward, running to Chen De and Hu Tu.

"Tsk, this little guy is quite fierce."

Ran Hanchuan looked at the solemn eyes of Chen De and the others in front of him, and secretly said that it was not good in his heart, so he hurriedly walked behind the two before turning his head to look. In the secluded woods, an old man with a withered description was standing in front of the three of them, looked at the three of them lightly, and then looked at Ran Hanchuan, his eyes were straight, as if he was revealing some kind of longing.

"This senior, the juniors are the disciples of Xu Wanqing in Foggy Valley, and they were ordered by the master to take this child back to the master's door, and they also asked the seniors to be accommodating." Chen De hugged his fists, and as he spoke, he pointed to one of the unconscious children on the ground, who was one of Xu Wanqing's relatives.

"Don't use your teacher to pressure me," the old man sneered, and said, "When Lao Tzu became famous, the guys in charge of Foggy Valley are still drinking milk in their own nests!" ”

Chen De and Hu Tu did not show any displeasure when they heard this, but their expressions became more and more solemn. Chen De took a step forward, hugged his fists and said, "Senior, dare to ask what your name is?" ”

The old man snorted and did not answer.

Chen De showed a wry smile on his face and said earnestly: "Please also ask the seniors to look at the seniority, don't embarrass us." ”

"Oh?" The old man smiled, looked at the two of them, and then looked at Ran Hanchuan behind them and said, "It's okay to let that child go with you, but you have to exchange this child behind you for it." His greedy gaze stared at Ran Hanchuan, which made Ran Hanchuan's heart beat for a while.

"This..."Chen De hesitated and frowned, Hu Tu stepped forward and said: "Senior, this child is our uncle's person, we must not hand him over to you!" Please also ask the seniors to be accommodating! ”

"Senior brother!" Chen pulled the corner of his clothes, looking a little dissatisfied.

"Senior brother! You really want to exchange the child, but don't forget that this child brought us here, and he is Uncle Deng's person, how can we do this! ”

"I know!" Chen De frowned and interrupted his words, looked at Ran Hanchuan, whose expression changed behind him, and said to the old man: "Senior, I..." ”

As soon as the words fell, the old man had already flown forward, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of the two, Chen De took a few steps back to the side, and Hu Tu waved his sleeves, only to see the luster of metal in the air shining repeatedly, and countless flying blades instantly attacked the old man. The old man sneered and stretched out a hand, and the dry and pale hand was actually instantly congested, and became full and round in an instant, and it was even more red inside and out, that kind of red, a blood-like color.

The sound of "clanging" resounded endlessly, and the old man's blood-red palm was blocked in front of him, and he casually bounced all the flying blades that came from him to the side, and his blood-red hand was invulnerable!

As soon as the flying blade was flicked away, immediately after, several rune papers in front of Hu Tu were suspended in the air for no reason, wrapped in white light, and then the white light suddenly became irritable, and instantly turned into several vicious fires, and a few fireballs flew out taking advantage of the old man's defense of the flying blade.

The old man was not in a hurry, and stretched his palm forward, only to see a large amount of blood gushing out of his palm, which was very terrifying. The blood did not drip on the ground, but gathered into a barrier in the air, and the fireballs hit the blood curtain, splashing a lot of blood, but those fireballs gradually dissipated in front of the blood curtain, leaving only a few wisps of smoke. As soon as the old man's palm was closed, the blood in the sky flowed back into his palm in an instant.

Chen De looked at this scene, his expression was shocked, he looked at Hu Tu who was about to make a move, hurriedly stopped, stepped forward and said, "Isn't the predecessor the old man who is bloody?" ”

The old man's eyes narrowed, looked at Chen De, and said with a smile: "There are still juniors who recognize Lao Tzu, not bad!" ”

Chen De smiled bitterly, pulled Lahutu, and motioned for him to retreat. Hu Tu shook his hand and said, "Senior brother! Do you know what you're doing? ”

Ran Hanchuan saw it very thoroughly in his heart, and his expression was a little ugly, it seemed that this Chen De really wanted to exchange himself.

Hu Tu shouted to Ran Hanchuan: "Little brother, you hurry up!" I'll stop him. ”

"Shut up!" Chen De scolded loudly: "Do you know who this senior in front of you is? How can you be so rude! ”

"I don't care who this senior is, but I know that you can't be a man without credibility and righteousness! I can't even use a kid as a bargaining chip! As he spoke, he blocked in front of Ran Hanchuan, who was fleeing, grabbed a few pieces of rune paper with one hand, and threw them in front of him, and the rune paper was wrapped in several clouds of white light and suspended in the air, and several arc-shaped blade lights flew out of it and attacked the old man. Chen Deyi gritted his teeth, scolded "bastard", and took off the things he was carrying behind him that were wrapped in white cloth, Ran Hanchuan could not care, after all, he was just an insignificant child, even if it was a person from Uncle Deng, he did not necessarily occupy a great position in Uncle Deng's heart. But Hutu was the younger brother he grew up with, and he couldn't leave it alone.

The white cloth was pulled open, revealing a humanoid thing made of wood, Ran Hanchuan looked back as he ran, and recognized that this was a utensil called a "puppet". He had seen it in the book, it was a kind of cultivation that could be manipulated by some well-cultivated monks, and could take various actions according to their own hearts.

Chen De made a strange gesture with one hand, and saw a burst of white light appear on the puppet on the ground, and then slowly disappeared, and then in a "click" sound, the puppet actually occupied it on its own, and immediately flew towards the bloody old man.

The blade light passed through the old man's body, and the puppet had a pair of wooden hands, and five sharp claws each popped out in the clanging sound, glowing with a white shimmer, and also grabbed the old man's body.

Chen De and Hu Tu were stunned at the same time, and in a daze, the old man's body seemed to melt into drops of blood, dripping to the ground.

Ran Hanchuan was looking back at this scene, with a surprised face, and suddenly his body running forward hit a hard thing, he felt a pain in his head, and he was hit and retreated. Looking up, the bloody old man appeared in front of him at some point, and the blood flowing on the ground quickly gathered towards him and merged into his body.

"How can I let go of the food I fancy so easily?" The old man looked at Ran Hanchuan with a slight smile on his lips, and saw that Ran Hanchuan felt chills in his heart. The word "food" in the old man's mouth made his hair stand on end.

"How about it, little friend, be obedient and make my blood food, I may be able to spare your life."

Ran Hanchuan touched the place where his head was hit, his heart slowly calmed down, his eyes looked at the old man with a bright look, he didn't run away anymore, his expression was very indifferent, and he smiled and said, "Grandpa, are you hungry?" If you are hungry, you can come to our Zixuan Building, where the dishes are all delicacies that you can't eat on weekdays! ”

The bloody old man was obviously suffocated, and the reaction of the child in front of him surprised him very much.

"Haha, little friend, I'm not hungry and want to eat, I want to suck your blood, only by sucking your blood, can I practice!" The old man smiled mysteriously and said.

"Eh, what kind of immortal Dao method are you practicing? How can it be so powerful, it can also suck people's blood! Ran Hanchuan showed a look of great interest.

"Little brother! Be careful" Hu Tu was about to rush up, the bloody old man glanced at him impatiently, with a slight wave of his hand, a sharp arrow made of blood shot directly at him, Hu Tu felt the palpitation on the blood arrow, his body slammed, and quickly fell to the side. Behind him, Chen De was busy controlling the puppet and rushed forward to block the blood arrow. "Bang" The bloody arrow actually passed through the puppet, shot to the ground on the side, and disappeared. If you look closely, you can see that the blood is swimming on its own, and it is converging towards the old man's body.

"These juniors are really ignorant, don't you see the elders talking to the little guy?" The old man said impatiently, and then explained lightly to Ran Hanchuan: "Lao Tzu is practicing my unique technique 'Blood Evil Gong', and if you want to practice this exercise, you must condense your whole body's qi and blood into the dantian to warm up. Do you understand what I'm talking about? ”

Ran Hanchuan nodded, the old man seemed to be quite interested, and continued: "So, I have to always find some fresh children's blood to replenish my body. Do you understand? ”

Ran Hanchuan nodded, made a sudden realization, and said, "I understand!" Then, old man, you can go buy it! How troublesome it is to collect it yourself! If I don't help you go to the city and find some blood, if the price is right, someone will sell it!" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, this seemed to be a good idea, the old man shook his head, and said, "Don't play tricks on me, kid, you just want to escape, don't you?" I tell you, I know as soon as I smell it, that your blood is an excellent tonic, and that eating your blood is better than eating the blood of three children! ”

"Uh" Ran Hanchuan smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa, then I'll let you suck it, or you can teach me too, I'm so interested in this magic skill!" ”

The bloody old man was stunned, his old eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Boy, do you really want to learn?" ”

"Hmm!" Ran Hanchuan nodded vigorously.

The bloody old man suddenly became secretive, looked at Chen De and Hu Tu with strange expressions, and said, "You two juniors, take those two children away!" I've got this kid enough! As he spoke, he pointed at Ran Hanchuan, "For the sake of you being disciples of Foggy Valley, I will spare your lives today, get out!" ”

"No!" Hutu said angrily: "You can't take this little brother away!" On the side, Chen De looked at his junior brother helplessly, manipulated the puppet to pick up the two unconscious children, grabbed Hu Tu with one hand, and walked out.

Far away, Hu Tu's angry questioning voice was still echoing, and the bloody old man looked at Ran Hanchuan, looking like a master, and said, "You come with me first." ”

Ran Hanchuan looked at the old man who turned his back, his mouth pursed, he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, and followed with a disdainful expression.

"Bastard!" In the Zixuan Building, Deng Manquan's angry shouts came from the courtyard behind the lobby, and were buried by the noisy singing and dancing in the lobby.

Deng Manquan slapped the table and said, "You actually handed over a thirteen-year-old child to the bloody old man alone!" You guys are so relieved! ”

Chen Devino said: "Uncle Deng, but in the face of the bloody old man, my junior brother and I are not even qualified to make a move with him, and we can come back alive to report the news, and we also rescued two children, which is not bad... Moreover, Ran's little brother himself said that he wanted to learn his stunts with the bloody old man! ”

"Senior brother, I said that I can't leave my little brother there alone! How unrighteous you are doing this! Hutu suddenly shouted.

"Shut up, if you don't, we're all going to die there! Now at least we still have hope of saving our little brother! Chen De glared at his junior brother and said impatiently.

Deng Manquan frowned, and after a little thought, he stood up, "That kid has learned very cleverly over the years!" There won't be an accident for a while, you two take Xu Wanqing's nephew back to the Foggy Valley quickly, and you don't have to worry about your master, I will solve it. ”

Chen De and Hu Tu glanced at each other, hugged their fists and said, "Uncle Shi, I'm sorry, I have caused you a lot of trouble, and he will apologize for his sins one day." ”

Deng Manquan waved his hand, said no more, and walked straight into his house. Nanyang City, east of the city, south side of the suburban woods.

Ran Hanchuan followed the bloody old man to the outside of the woods, looked back at Ran Hanchuan's ugly look, and chuckled: "Boy, you think I don't know, you wait for the two of them to go back and report the news, so that you can find someone to save you?" It's a good expedient measure, at a young age, but it's quite smart. ”

Ran Hanchuan sighed helplessly and said: "No matter how clever I am, it's not that you've been seen through by your grandfather, but you're still powerful and have insight into everything." ”

"Less sweet talk!" The bloody old man waved his hand, turned around and asked, "Boy, I only ask you, is it true that you said that you want to learn my 'Bloody Martial Arts'?" ”

Ran Hanchuan sighed and said, "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I really didn't want to learn this exercise, I don't want to suck other people's blood, and I don't look like I've become a skeleton." ”

The bloody old man's eyes flashed fiercely, "Do you know that the people who say that I am like a skeleton are basically dead?" You dare to lie to me, but you are not small! ”

Ran Hanchuan smiled: "Grandpa, although I don't want to learn your exercises, if you really need my blood, I'll let you suck it!" ”

"You..."The old man was slightly stunned, "Aren't you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid, but this can save a life, you say yes!" Ran Hanchuan said with a smile.

"Boy, give me your hand!" The old man squinted. Ran Hanchuan swallowed his saliva and stretched out his hand, a little nervous. The old man's fingers slid lightly across his wrist, and a bloody mouth appeared, spilling out a trace of blood.

Deng Man ran in the woods in a hurry, and his bloated body was flying freely in mid-air, which was quite ridiculous.

Following the special marks left by Ran Hanchuan with footprints on the ground, Deng Manquan traced all the way to the outside of the woods, and saw Ran Hanchuan sitting on the ground, his face was very pale.

"Hankawa!" When Ran Hanchuan heard Deng Manquan's voice, he looked back and saw that it was his Uncle Deng who came, and he was overjoyed, and beckoned with a smile.

Deng Manquan hurriedly ran over, looked at Ran Hanchuan's pale face, and asked worriedly: "Hanchuan, you can return it, the bloody old man didn't do much to you, right?" ”

Ran Hanchuan's pale little face smiled slightly, "It's nothing, it's just a little blood, it is estimated that I will have a good meal to replenish qi and blood!" ”

Deng Manquan listened to his teasing tone, lightly knocked on his head, and said, "What about the bloody old man?" ”

"Gone!"

"Gone? How did he let you go? ”

"I'm likable!" Ran Hanchuan said happily.

"You-" Deng Manquan's eyes widened, speechless, the bloody old man's embryo killing, even if Ran Hanchuan is likable, he won't be easily let go, right? Deng Manquan muttered in his heart, but seeing that Ran Hanchuan was safe and sound, he didn't think much about it anymore, picked him up and walked towards Nanyang City.

On Ran Hanchuan's left wrist, a scar had already scabbed and healed, Deng Manquan didn't notice that under his delicate skin, there was a thin streak of blood, looming.
