Chapter 20: A Knife in a Smile
At this moment, an old and loud voice sounded not far away: "Young master, I haven't found you for a long time, it turns out that you came to this lake." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Yu Yu looked back and frowned. It turned out to be Mo Daoren, this old monster somehow found here.
I saw that there was a meaningful smile on his wrinkled old face, and he was striding towards this side. Seeing this lake as black as black ink, the old Taoist couldn't help but look at it twice, but he didn't care too much. After all, he was originally a traveler from the outside world, and it was impossible for him to know the origin of this lake.
His bewildered face immediately returned to his natural face, and he smiled gently, beckoning the old Taoist to come closer. Both of them had sincere smiles on their faces, as if they were very close, and they walked along the shore of the lake together like a pair of old friends.
As he walked, he asked politely, "I didn't expect to meet the Taoist chief here again, is there anything wrong with you?" ”
Mo Daoren waved his hand, pretended to smile mysteriously, and said, "Sixth Prince, the reason why Poor Dao came to you is because the Marquis of Guichuan has something for me to bring to you." ”
After speaking, the old Taoist looked around alertly, and found that there was no one else here except them, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
So, he leaned into the confused ear and whispered: "The art of painting skin, every day needs to consume the power of the Dao Law, and there is a time limit. Now, half a month has passed, and the spells set by Poor Dao at that time have long been incomplete. The stakes are very high, and the Marquis of Guichuan is very worried, so he ordered the poor Dao to reapply the Dao method, and drew a new mask for you, and it was time to change it. ”
After speaking, the old man took out a delicate small box from his wide sleeved robe, gave a deep salute, and respectfully handed it to Youfu.
Yu Yu frowned, but soon stretched out again, he smiled and nodded, took the small box in the old man's hand, and replied, "I see, thank you Dao Leader for bothering." ”
After saying this, Yu Yu began to casually play with the small box in his hand, leisurely strolling by the lake, looking as if nothing had happened.
Seeing him like this, the old Taoist looked a little anxious, looked around, and admonished: "This small box is very important, young master, there is no one by this lake, why don't you take advantage of this mask now?" ”
Yu Yu turned his head and carefully looked at the old man's two dirty yellow and muddy old eyes, trying to see something from them, but he found nothing.
So, the young man smiled and shook his head, "No hurry, no hurry, this place is very quiet, no one disturbs, it has always been a good place." Since the Taoist chief happened to come, he followed me to enjoy the scenery by the lake. ”
The old Taoist had no choice but to follow behind the confusion, and the two walked along the dark lake.
The scorching sun came out of the layers of white clouds, lit up thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and the dazzling sun poured down, reflecting on that noble and handsome face, and the young man looked smiling brightly, very happy, and a happy and complacent expression.
However, in the confused heart, he has always coldly manipulated the divine consciousness of his whole body, trying to contact the stone eye, sensing the red mist at the bottom of this lake. He could feel that the strange red mist was getting thicker and thicker as time went on.
As for what these red mist represented, Yu Yu already had his own conjecture. However, conjectures are only conjectures after all, and they still need to be verified.
Perhaps, the uncle and this demon Daoist have been monitoring him, and he has planted some kind of mark on himself with Dao magic. Otherwise, how could this old Taoist find here?
Yu Yu silently walked along the shore of the lake, looking at the delicate small box in his hand, and sensing the Mo Dao people who were following closely behind him, thinking coldly.
Suddenly, there was a stir in the confusion.
Just use this demon Taoist to verify that conjecture, with his life, it couldn't be more suitable.
The next moment, his bewildered foot seemed to step on the mud on the edge of the lake, and suddenly slipped, and his body slanted towards the lake. After several struggles, he barely managed to stand on his feet.
However, the small box that he was holding had already come out of his hand, and with a plop, the box fell into the inky black lake and disappeared suddenly.
The puzzled expression was embarrassed, very anxious, and with a little apology, he said to the Taoist chief behind him: "Dao Chief, I'm really sorry. I was so young and playful that I accidentally let this important thing fall to the bottom of the lake, this ......"
The old Taoist suddenly frowned and comforted: "Young master, it's okay. Now that this little box has been lost, it is not a big deal for Poor Dao to draw a mask for you again. ”
Yu Yu shook his head, leaned over, lowered his voice, and said in the old Taoist's ear: "Dao Chief, this small box is very important, and it is sealed with your skin painting technique inside, but now it has fallen into this lake, if it is inspected by the ghost armor guards in the royal city, it may find clues." Once the secret is revealed, you and I will be very dangerous at that time. ”
The old Taoist looked at the puzzled face, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "The young master is right, since this is the case, then I will fish it out, so as not to fall into the hands of others." ”
After speaking, Mo Daoren took out a whisk of dust out of nowhere and threw it at the lake. Suddenly, the light of various Dao runes shone brightly, and the dust was extended several times, and it went straight under the surface of the lake, stirring up a black wave.
The waves soon fell, and the lake returned to calm. Sparkling, everything seems to have returned to normal, seeing this, you can't help but be a little disappointed.
However, in the next moment, something terrible happened!
A long, black tongue covered with barbs poked out from the bottom of the lake, carrying a lot of disgusting viscous liquid at an unimaginably fast speed. It left only afterimages in its wake, shooting like lightning towards the shore!
Before the old Taoist could react, the tongue wrapped around his body, and sharp hooks and thorns pierced into his body, and blood suddenly gushed out. The old Taoist turned pale with fright, and began to struggle desperately, and all kinds of Dao runes bloomed all over his body.
However, it was too late, and the demon tongue was still wrapped around the old man's body, and all kinds of spells were ineffective against it. It tied the demon Daoist like a zongzi, pulled it into the lake, and disappeared.
At the same time, the lake raises countless huge waves. The black water of the lake poured like rain into the sky, dripping down on his bewildered and handsome cheeks, pouring into his neck, drenching him all over.
One after another, tongues poked out of the lake, scrambling to be the first to do, rushing towards him like lightning, trying to entangle his body!
The young man looked at them coldly, standing still in the dark rain.
Sure enough, the moment they touched his body, these tongues retracted as if they had seen a ghost. The ten tongues trembled slightly, and all of them disappeared into the water.
With this divine eye, he could vaguely see that under the bottom of the lake, several huge monsters of great ugliness were staring at him with palpitating yellow eyes, like ghost lamps, looking at him carefully.
Soon, those huge yellow eyeballs sank to the bottom of the lake and disappeared. But in the vision of the stone eye, the strange red mist still kept surging without knowing what meaning it meant.
A moment later, foul blood was floating on the surface of the lake.
It is true, it is the blood of the old man. Bright red blood, wisps of blood, was still emerging from the bottom of the lake, dyeing the black surface of the lake with a strange color.
Red and black are mixed, and the dirty colors are not distinguishable from each other.
The young man stood by the lake, looking at the shocking blood, his expression was very complicated.
