Chapter 2: The Return
In the middle of the moon and the sky, everything is solemn, and the cold wind is blowing in a barren forest on the border of Jiangyin, and a ghostly atmosphere emerges for no reason. Even the quiet moonlight looks extremely strange under the cold barren leaves.
A red-clothed* in the forest, the bright red clothes like blood swayed gently, like a ghost in this dark night. The man's face was hidden in the darkness, and it was impossible to see the face.
The man stood motionless like a statue, and after a while, he raised his head slightly and slowly walked a few steps forward. As soon as he stepped out of the shadows, the moonlight couldn't wait to pour on him.
His face is delicate, with perfect contours, delicate skin, and a combination of rigidity and softness of facial lines that make him masculine and feminine. The narrow eyes carry a seven-point smile and a three-point evil spirit. The sexy thin lips pursed lightly, and it was the bright red of blood. The corners of his lips twitched slightly, and his face instantly seemed to bloom, and the appearance of the light wind and moon was nothing more than that. It's just that the treacherous frivolity in those eyes makes this smile look evil and makes people feel a chill down their spines.
The man stopped in front of a banyan tree and slowly raised his hand, his slender fingers with distinct knots looking particularly pale in the moonlight. With the slight pull of the man's fingers, the ground under the banyan tree began to loosen, and the soil automatically turned over, piling up on both sides, but a large pit was dug in a few breaths.
The man squinted, flipped his wrist slightly, and a white shadow suddenly floated out of the pit. The white shadow shook in the air a few times before slowly froze, and only then did he see that it was actually a white bone. The bones were already blackened, and some were still incomplete, and only some wreckage remained, which were no longer in shape, and it should have been a long time since I thought about it. * Stayed where he was, casually glanced at it, but his gaze suddenly stopped at the ribs of the white bone.
The few remaining broken ribs were noticeably darker than the others, and full of cracks, strangely cracked, even after all this time, the rest of the intact bones had been eroded and rotted, but these cracked bones were still there.
The man reached for the ribs, as if he suddenly remembered something, and his hand stopped in mid-air and retracted. He reached into his bosom and took out a handkerchief and put it over his hand, and then reached out again. With a slight pinch, the ribs crumbled into powder, and as the powder fell, there were a few black dots swimming left and right in the *. When the man looked closely, it turned out to be several small black insects, as if frightened, and they were rampage and scattered in all directions.
The man sneered, threw away the handkerchief in disgust, and calmly took a few steps back.
At this time, a man in black fell from the sky with the sound of breaking wind and landed steadily behind the man.
The man first laughed evilly, and then walked forward slowly: "Lord, what can you find?"
The man was wiping his hands with a new handkerchief: "Everything that should be found has been found." ”
At this time, the man in black suddenly sighed, and his tone was quite resentful: "My subordinates have made a lot of efforts to find out the whereabouts of Qin Chuyun's bones, and they were almost discovered by the Gu family.
The man didn't seem to pay attention to him, and walked away as if he hadn't heard.
When the man in black saw that he was leaving, his face instantly turned cold, and he didn't bother to maintain the hypocritical smile he had just disguised, and his tone was not the respect that his subordinates should have for his master: "Ember, even if you are a Demon Venerable, you don't have to be so arrogant." When I went to the battlefield for the Demon Dao, where were you? In terms of qualifications, I can be regarded as your senior, I respect you as a Demon Venerable, call you a lord, and don't take yourself too seriously!"
Hearing this, Ember stopped, looked at him with interest, and did not have any anger on his face, but hooked his lips and laughed: "That's right, you are indeed a lot deeper than me in terms of qualifications, and it is indeed a little unsightly for me to be powerful on your head." However, you seem to have a misunderstanding, who is the master, not by qualifications, but by strength. ”
As soon as the words fell, the man in black's eyes suddenly widened, his hands tightly choked his neck, and he knelt on the ground as soon as his knees weakened.
Ember laughed happily twice, walked leisurely to the man, looked at him with a kind of pity, and said innocently: "Oh, what's wrong? Why did it suddenly become like this, it must be very uncomfortable, right?"
The man's eyes were bulging, his eyes were bloodshot, and he struggled to free out a hand and grabbed Ember's boot violently, his arm pushed back and forth violently, and the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, but Ember did not move at all. Seeing that Ember was so indifferent, the man didn't mean to make a move, his eyes widened, his mouth opened and closed, and he was eager to express something.
Ember didn't give up until he saw that his face was bloodless and his struggles had stopped as consciousness dissipated. He crouched down and smiled in a friendly tone, "Do you know what you should and shouldn't do now?"
The man had just lost consciousness and was suddenly released, and at this time he was breathing in a big gulp of air, his eyes were still in a state of distraction, but he still nodded in horror like pounding garlic.
Seeing this, Ember covered his lips and laughed again, but this time it was full of mockery. Suddenly, his eyes were cold, and his smile suddenly disappeared, replaced by a bloodthirsty and cruel face: "Yi Lin, I know you still don't obey me, but don't forget, if it weren't for me, you would still be waiting to die in Shangguan Yu's seal! I can save you, and naturally I can kill you, so I advise you to put away those little tricks, I don't have the energy to punish you again, next time I will directly kill you! But if you want to try, I don't mind." ”
Yi Lin's complexion changed suddenly, he knelt down in horror and retreated a few steps, bowed down and said respectfully: "The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates don't dare, just now the subordinates were confused for a while, and the subordinates will definitely serve the lord wholeheartedly in the future, and they will never have the slightest thought!
Seeing him lying on the ground begging for mercy, Ember seemed to be finally satisfied, sneered, stood up and said coldly, "Get up." ”
Yi Lin stood up in shock, and stood on the side with his head bowed and worried, which was really much more honest than just now.
Ember's nonchalant voice sounded again: "What have you found?"
Yi Lin quickly came back to his senses and said respectfully: "The incident of Yundu's bombing of the tomb has alarmed the four major families, and they have exchanged letters and plan to gather in Jiangyin to discuss matters. Now, the Fengling Qin clan and the Yundu Xiao clan are still on the road, and the Yanlan Ye Yuhua is the closest from here, and they can be reached tonight, and if you calculate the time, you should be here immediately. ”
Ember didn't have much emotion after hearing this, was silent for a moment, and said, "Let's go." ”
Yi Lin was a little surprised when he saw that the embers were so plain and waveless, and he was puzzled: "Lord...... Are you going to see her?"
Ember didn't reply, and didn't care: "What is there to see about her?"
Yi Lin was stunned, and then as if he had figured out something, he smiled knowingly and chased after him.
