Chapter 21: Midnight Terror (Part 2)
The entrance to the night market.
"Phew! Ye Xiaowu, you coward! If you win Lao Tzu's money, you want to slip away! If you have the ability, you will come back and kill another three hundred rounds!" Xiao Liuzi shook his head and walked on the road angrily.
"Oh, why did Ye Xiaowu slip away?" a hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
Xiao Liuzi was shocked, and when he turned around, he saw a tall and thin figure in a black robe, standing in the dark and looking gloomy.
"Former ...... Former...... Senior!" Xiao Liuzi has a good memory, and he has not forgotten this black-robed man who has a relationship in the night market, "What do you command?"
"The old rule, a hundred stone coins, take me in. A bag of stone coins was thrown at Xiao Liuzi's feet, and the stone coins inside clanged.
"Ah, good, good!" Xiao Liuzi was so excited that he hurriedly picked it up, weighed it, and greeted him with a smile, "Senior, please come here!"
"Sure enough, it's still the same greed for money!" Xiao Nan hid in his black robe and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
"No...... Xiao Liuzi took two steps, suddenly stopped, and smiled awkwardly at the black-robed man: "Senior, we may ...... today." Can't go to the night market anymore. ”
"What's the reason?" Xiao Nan frowned.
"Ahem...... Ye Xiaowu said not to go to the night market in the past few days......" Xiao Liuzi explained with a wry smile, "The night market will be very chaotic, and even ...... Someone will die at any time. That's why he slipped away early today. ”
"Huh?" Xiao Nan's brows furrowed, and he faintly felt a little uneasy.
"Senior, don't be angry, I don't want to! I still want to fight with Ye Xiaowu for three hundred rounds and win back all the lost stone coins!" Seeing that he was silent, Xiao Liuzi hurriedly nodded and continued to explain.
"I need a reason. Xiao Nan didn't think it was angry, and said in a hoarse voice.
"This ...... I tell you...... Don't say it's my little sixth son. Xiao Liuzi cautiously glanced around, then lowered his voice and leaned over, pointed to the top and said, "I heard that the 'one' from our south is not there recently. ”
"What?!" Xiao Nan's face changed drastically, but he hid in the black robe and no one saw it.
"Senior...... Nanli has 'that' town guard, naturally no one dares to make trouble, but 'that' is not there, the night market is a disorderly place, my little sixth son is lowly cultivated, I really don't dare to go over to join in the fun. ”
Xiao Liuzi was sincerely afraid, and he was afraid that this "senior" who didn't know the depth would be blamed.
"Isn't that one there? how could this be?" Xiao Nan muttered, trapped in his thoughts.
"That one is really not here, it's true! Although Ye Xiaowu is unreliable, he won't lie to my little sixth son. Moreover, I heard that his old man is not ...... at this time of year."
Xiao Liuzi echoed in a low voice, as if he was a little afraid, "I won't tell you, I heard that more than one Gu refining realm master died in the night market at this time last year!"
Xiao Nan's complexion changed again, and he turned around abruptly and disappeared into the darkness.
"Hey, senior, your stone coin!" Xiao Liuzi raised the money bag and hurriedly asked behind. Although he is a gambler, he is not an unprincipled person.
"No need, your message is useful. A low, hoarse voice came, fading away.
No one understands the meaning of this news better than Xiao Nan. When order recedes, what remains will be unbridled darkness.
And those conspirators who are eyeing their own two are bound to cherish this rare opportunity, turn from static to slaughter with all their might.
He didn't go far before Xiao Nan found himself being followed. Yes, those families are huge, and they should have known that "that one" would leave, so they naturally made preparations early.
At this moment, the outside of the bamboo courtyard must have been filled with dark whistles. And my mother is probably still asleep, unaware that danger may erupt at any time.
His mind turned, changed direction, and walked towards the Guixu River. After a while, the terrain became more and more open, and the stalker finally couldn't hide his tracks and came out of the shadows.
This is a middle-aged man in gray, dressed plainly, with a plain appearance, which is very suitable for hiding.
"You have followed all the way from the Xiao Clan's Bamboo Courtyard to here, I don't know which family's secret guard of the Nanli tribe?" Xiao Nansha said in a hoarse voice, his eyes watching the other party's every move from his hood.
"I'm afraid I can't tell you about that. The gray-clothed middle-aged man sneered and looked at him calmly, "We don't know what Your Excellency has to do with the Xiao Clan, but we are bound to win tonight." Please leave without making a mistake. ”
"You guys are so unscrupulous. Xiao Nan was anxious, but he remained silent on the surface, and then made a temptation, "Although the guardian elder Han Shi is not here, Nanli still has Eagle Guards patrolling around, except for the three major families, I didn't expect anyone else to have such courage." ”
"Hahaha! I've heard that people who are too smart don't live long. The middle-aged man in gray laughed on his back, but there was a coldness in his laughter.
"Since we can't talk about it, let's make a move. Xiao Nan suddenly raised his hand and shot out a ray of light.
This is a hidden weapon given to him by Meng Yao, similar to the Flame Burst Needle, called Nine Zhang Ji, with nine kinds of poisonous needles, a total of thirty-six shots.
Although the gray-clothed middle-aged man is just a small minion with low cultivation talent, his decades of cultivation are not a lie, and his realm has reached the late stage of witch refining.
"If that's all you have, it's over. The gray-clothed middle-aged man avoided it, rushed forward, shook his hands, revealed a pair of spikes, and twisted Xiao Nan's legs.
As if he was frightened, the black-robed man stood on the spot, motionless. The middle-aged man in gray was overjoyed, he didn't expect it to be so easy, and secretly exclaimed, "It's really immature."
The sound of spikes wringing into the legs, "creaking", was a little stiff. Then the pieces of wood flew sideways and sputtered in all directions.
"Not good!" the middle-aged man in gray was shocked, and he rolled sideways and wanted to retreat.
A slender silk suddenly shot out from above, followed closely behind the gray-clothed middle-aged man, and actually made a bend and shot into the back of the figure that rolled halfway.
"It's ...... What?" the gray-clothed middle-aged man sat on the ground, his face dark, and he felt a strange force penetrating his body, rapidly disintegrating, destroying his body and soul.
"Magical power - fish intestines. ”
Xiao Nan replied in a childish voice, simply abandoned the stilts, turned around and walked two steps quickly, jumped into the Guixu River, and dived into the depths.
After that, the gray-clothed middle-aged man struggled twice, his pupils gradually lost their luster, and suddenly turned into ashes in the wind, and he died.
The so-called three caves of the cunning rabbit, Xiao Nan for safety, according to the trend of the underground tunnel, deliberately tried his best to open up the Guixu River, and he could enter and exit the wine cellar through a cave at the bottom of the Guixu River.
He followed the cave at the bottom of the river, felt into the underground tunnel, climbed up the stairs, entered the secret chamber, pushed open the splint above, and appeared in the cellar.
I don't know how many people peeped outside the bamboo courtyard, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he deliberately took a detour to go home from the bottom of the Guixu River.
He tiptoed into his mother's room, and saw that Lan Xi was pillowing the bedside in a daze, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and put it to his lips to make a "shhh" shape.
Lan Xi was smart, and immediately understood, and cautiously glanced outside.
Xiao Nan took Lan Xi's jade hand, spread out her palm, and gently wrote two short lines of words in the palm of her hand.
"Danger, follow me. ”
