"But ......," Master Dice said as he turned around and faced Pai Gow.

These two words instantly made the old man of Pai Gow nervous.

"Before we go back, we're going to search for a horse." Master Dice said, holding the dice in both hands.

Sure enough, it's not that simple.

"But," Pai Gow cried, "from yesterday evening until now, we have searched thirty-seven horses that you consider special." ”

Pai Gow's words are finished, but there is still a sentence hidden in his heart.

That is, we have been here for almost twenty-four hours, and not only have we not eaten any water, but we have not found anything. What's more, every kind of horse was personally searched by my old man, and you just stood there and gave orders!

"yes, before I knew it, it had been a night and a day." Lord Dice suddenly said with a little tiredness, "So ......"

So?

Pai Gow stared at the dice man's face with his absolutely round eyes.

Could it be that there is a turning point?

"So," said Lord Dice with a smile, "it's not going to be like this for a while. ”

“…… Be. Pai Gow reluctantly responded.

"Huh." Lord Dice laughed, "Little pai gow." ”

"Huh?"

The sudden change in title, Token Nine and his old man almost didn't react.

"We searched for more than 30 kinds of horses, but I just wanted to give it a try."

"What, what do you mean?"

"Actually, I didn't have much hope for the horses."

"Huh?"

Pai Gow stands in place.

The cool wind blew past him in the evening, and it was cool and swishing.

It's not the body that's cool, it's the heart.

Although Pai Gow is an old man with one foot in the wet soil, he looks very stable, but his heart is already thundering!

Don't have much hope?

And you still take the trouble to command me?

This night, the "hunting memories" of the day appeared in the mind of Pai Gow and his old man.

"Pai Gow, see, that one," shouted Master Dice pointing to a considerable distance, "yes, it's the jujube red horse, yes, mixed in between seven or eight gray-black horses." Quick, catch up! ”

Although Lord Dice said excitedly, when Pai Gow followed the prestige, only a few vague dots came into view. Indeed, there was a small red dot hidden among the few gray-black dots, but it was so far away that it was some kind of hallucination if you didn't make a close discernment.

When the Pai Gow Master even used all the strength, and after dropping a large handful of hair (the little hair left was even more thinning), he finally investigated the jujube red horse and found nothing, and the dice man spoke again.

"Pai Gow!" Lord Dice shouted excitedly, "Quick, that white horse, the one who is bowing his head and drinking water." Catch up, catch up! ”

"Yes."

Pai Gow adults are on the road again.

Without even thinking about it, he knew that this time the journey was even farther away. Because, since he entered the Wanma grassland, his old man has not heard any sound of water at all.

Sure enough, after a difficult trek all the way, he finally saw a silver glittering river, but there were no ripples of happiness in his heart.

Because, that silver ribbon is like the Milky Way hanging in the sky, out of reach.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency."

After more than an hour, the Pai Gow Master finally returned.

Sweat rained down.

"How?" Lord Dice raised an eyebrow.

"No response." Pai Gow helplessly spread his hands.

At this moment, he even suspected that the guy in his arms was dead.

"Oh." The disappointment on the face of Lord Dice only lingered for a brief half second, and then he became excited again, "Pai Gow!" ”

"Your Excellency!" Pai Gow, the old man, Huo Ran, jumped up three meters high, and broke the words that the dice were about to shout.

"Oh?"

"Your Excellency." Pai Gow gasped and said, "My lord, slow down, slow down." ”

"Huh." The dice smiled, and the muscles on his face were relaxed.

But Pai Gow suddenly had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Lord Dice spoke again.

"Little Pai Gow," said Lord Dice, "I can't wait." ”

"Huh?"

"But don't worry, this time your task will be easy. You see," said Lord Dice, pointing to a place to the east, "there is a blind horse there. ”

"Blind horse?"

"Yes, the gray blind horse." Lord Dice looked to the east and continued, "Not only blind, but also lame. Not only lame, but also old. It can't run, it can only jolt forward slowly. ”

Sure enough, this time, not too far away, there was an old gray-black horse that was struggling to move forward with its back to the sunset. Every step of the way was extremely difficult, as if it would fall at any moment.

"See?"

"See." Pai Gow seized the time to gasp.

But this time, time seems to have been. Because, the speed of this old horse is too slow. His figure doesn't seem to have shrunk with time at all.

Then this time, you don't need to go full speed ahead, and you can jump slowly and leisurely. Because there will never be a slower speed in the world than this old horse.

"Okay." Lord Dice took a deep breath and shouted, "Catch up!" ”

"Huh?"

"Don't be stunned," continued the dice-sama, "sloppy." ”

"Why?" Pai Gow asked puzzledly, "Such an old and lame horse, are you afraid that I won't be able to catch up?" ”

"Quick!" Lord Dice urged again.

"Okay, okay."

Pai Gow reluctantly set sail again.

"Come on, come on!" Master Dice shouted loudly behind him.

But Pai Gow still maintains a slow pace. Because this time, he was full of confidence.

Can such an old horse still need to bark like this?

Let it be on two legs, and it is no match for itself.

No, no, it's to get it on one leg.

Hey? Something seems to be wrong?

Just as Pai Gow was absent-mindedly thinking about it while slowly jolting forward, the roar of Lord Dice came from behind him.

"Idiot!"

"Huh?" Pai Gow was stunned.

He slowly turned his head and offered the dice to a confused face.

"Look ahead, look ahead!" Lord Dice was really anxious, and he, who had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, also rushed forward.

"What can we have ahead?" Pai Gow muttered disdainfully, then slowly turned around.

Sure enough, the figure of the old horse did not disappear, it was still not far ahead, and the distance did not widen a minute.

What's there?

Pai Gow jumped forward angrily.

Lord Dice is really worried, the radiant jujube red horse and the peerless white horse are all captured by my old man, can't he surrender such a broken horse?

"Quick!"

The voice of the dice master came from his side. In the blink of an eye, he actually caught up with himself.

"...... in such a hurry"

"Idiot!" Lord Dice surpassed himself.

"But ......"

"Did you listen to me?" The voice of Lord Dice came from the front.

"But it's getting bigger, which means we're getting closer." Pai Gow picked up his pace while defending himself.

Lord Dice bowed his head and ran wildly, ignoring it.

"And," Pai Gow continued to argue with himself, "this horse is old and lame, can it still be lost?" ”

"Blind!" Lord Dice finally spoke, and the voice drifted from the front.

Blind?

Pai Gow felt his heart clenched instantly, who is this blindness?

Isn't it the old horse, but himself?

"This horse is still blind!" The words of Lord Dice came again, and at this moment his figure was already far ahead, only one step away from the old horse.

It's okay, not talking about yourself.

Pai Gow breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

"So," said Lord Dice as he seemed to pause, pressing a pair of strong hands on the horse's head, "one more step and it will be crushed!" ”

Pieces?

The old horse was finally subdued by Lord Dice, and he stood honestly in place.

"Hurry up!" Master Dice shouted loudly in front of him, and at the end he added, "Fool! ”

"Come, come." Pai Gow responded, finally increasing the speed to a normal level.

When he came to Lord Dice and the old horse, he saw something, and he instantly understood why Lord Dice kept reprimanding him.

It turned out that there was a narrow cliff in front of the old horse!

Bottomless below, black rumbling, faint sound of water coming up. The cliff is not wide, if it is a normal adult horse, it can naturally easily cross over and continue to graze leisurely, but this blind old horse is obviously not good.

"Do you know what would happen if this horse was the real host?" Lord Dice held the horse's head and glared angrily.

"It, it fell to its death."

"And then?"

"Then, the subordinates don't know."

"I'll tell you." The dice master tried to lead the horse to safety, and the old horse obediently followed, but the four inflexible legs were bumping and bumping.

"Only the gods can suck the unawakened souls from the host." Lord Dice said as he walked, "And once the host dies, the possessed soul will not die with it, but will be awakened in advance!" ”

"Awakening, awakening?"

"Yes!" The dice man stood in a grassy place, and the old horse slowly lowered his head and nibbled on the grass on the ground.

"If this horse is the real host," continued Lord Dice, "that moment would be enough to ruin years of hard work. Because, once the soul is awakened, including the gods, we will be helpless. ”

"Genus, subordinates understand."

"Got what?"

"We, our chances are only for this short period of time from the disintegration of the soul to the awakening of the soul."

"What else?" Master Dice asked loudly.

"Also, in this short period of time, any, any accident may cause the soul to awaken prematurely."

"It's good to understand. Within a manageable range, we have managed to recover two souls. Lord Dice looked at the sunset and said slowly, "But the third one is uncontrollable. ”
