Volume 1 The Nose Torturer Chapter 29 Memories - Scars on the Corners of the Face (I)
"Huh...... Hehehe......"
The ragged beggar in front of him, holding a porcelain bowl and grinning with his dry lips, smiled at them:
"All right, boy, girl."
Xiaoli and Xiaotong looked down at the beating coins in the bowl, and there were clearly the two coins they put inside when they were waiting for the train outside the ten stations.
It's just that...... This beggar clearly didn't get into the car, how did he end up here?!
"Steel Boom...... Steel ......"
The porcelain bowl in front of him shook again, reminding the two siblings at all times.
"Run!"
Xiao Li roared violently, pulled his sister around the old beggar and ran desperately.
"Huh...... Hehehe......"
The laughter of a beggar could still be heard behind him, but it felt so piercing and terrifying in the silence of the night.
"Brother-I can't run--huhu-"
Xiaotong broke free of Xiaoli's clenched hand, fell to the ground and gasped and said, "That one who asks for food, I don't feel like a bad person." ”
"Every time you feel like you're on time—whirl—you can't walk, let's ...... Let's take a taxi home, faster. ”
"Okay—"
The brother and sister hurried to the side of the street, hoping to stop a taxi as soon as possible.
"Ahh
A sigh came from behind him, with a deep sadness, which went straight to the heart and lungs.
"Finally—find—arrived—"
The whisper behind him seemed to be looking for someone.
"Come with me—we need you—"
"Mother-"
Xiao Li looked at his sister Xiaotong, it was not the first time he had heard the title "Niangniang".
"Brother——!
Xiaotong exclaimed suddenly, only to feel that his arm was tighter than that of Xiao Li's grip just now, and his body was dragged out.
I don't know how long I ran, until the two of them were exhausted, Xiaoli let go of her sister:
"Huhu...... We...... Whew...... It seems to have shaken them off! ”
"Huhu-brother, who to get rid of?"
Xiaotong asked puzzled.
"Ahh
Before Xiaoli could explain, who would have thought that the quiet voice came again, and there was a chill around him, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Looking up, a black mist floated in the night sky, falling in front of the two brothers and sisters. A figure came out of it with a "bang", and the black fog dissipated.
"Mother-don't come unharmed-"
The person who came was an old man, with piercing eyes, and looked at the two siblings very respectfully.
"Do you remember the contemptible?"
"Grandpa, are you talking to me......?"
"Tong'er! Ignore him! ”
Xiaotong pointed to himself and asked, but was stopped by Xiaoli, who knew that most people who called her sister "Niangniang" had bad intentions.
Xiaoli looked over to confirm the appearance of the other party, and found that the old man was also looking at him, and his eyes hurriedly avoided it, but he found that his eyes did not listen to him. The eyes were straight to the pair. It was as if it was pitch black all around, leaving only the fierce eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.
"Mother-do you remember the little one?"
The old man turned his face to look at Xiaotong with a smile on his face, and asked again kindly.
Xiaotong looked at the old man, and then at the elder brother who was standing on the side, who seemed to be no longer in the way. He shook his head and replied:
"Grandpa, I haven't seen you—"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then looked up to the sky and laughed a few times and said:
"Yes, yes - the little one was just a little ghost in the underworld at that time, looking up at Niangniang, Niangniang saved countless lives, how could she remember that little thing ...... autumn millennium ago?"
Xiaotong was confused when she heard this, and this person didn't care about these at all, and was still talking about all kinds of things.
"!"
The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, and he suddenly stretched out his arms as if to grasp the heaven and earth in his hands: "Now the Three Realms are about to ......!" ”
"The thirteenth seat of the sixteen ghost generals under the command of King Yama is 'Lady Xian'!"
There was a shout from behind him, and Xiaoli, who was in a trance, was suddenly awakened, only to feel that the sweat had soaked through his clothes. Hurriedly looked back, only to see that the ragged beggar from before was standing a few feet behind him, and the originally thin and stiff back also stood up, and respectfully saluted this side:
"On the orders of King Yama, Bao Niang is well-thought!"
"Oh? Hehe-Yama that kid actually sent a ghost general. ”
The old man sighed a little, but there was not the slightest fear in his words.
"Who are you?!"
The beggar, who called himself "Mrs. Xian", asked, but the old man was unmoved and did not respond.
With a "snap", I saw Mrs. Xian pull out an object from her waist, and the front end of the object was thrown into the air and instantly spread out and extended, and when it reached the end, it was suddenly withdrawn.
There was another crunch sound of "popping" - it was actually a long whip.
"The generals will obey!"
Mrs. Xian shouted, and Xiaoli Xiaotong only felt that the cold air around her was attacking, and countless looming figures wearing armor appeared. From under the armor, he was "whirring" and braving the cold, and looked at Mrs. Xian not far away.
"In ——!"
The group of armored soldiers surrounded Xiaoli Xiaotong and the old man.
"Mrs. Xian—"
The old man shouted through the soldiers: "You are only a ghost general under the command of that Yama Xiaoer, why don't you go to the Ming Lord......?" ”
"Bold!" Mrs. Xian said angrily with a whip: "My family has been loyal for generations, how can I serve him again!?" ”
"Kill ——!"
The soldier didn't talk nonsense, and rushed forward with the weapon in his hand, Xiao Li Xiaotong was shocked, how could he dodge from an inch away?
Xiaoli protected her sister, she wanted to block the attack, but who thought that the soldier went straight through her body, but she didn't hurt the two of them at all. Countless blades stabbed at the old man, who only slowly raised his arm, as if he was holding something in his hand.
The nearest Xiaoli can see it most clearly - a black brand, on which is very clearly engraved with a word:
"Order"
At the moment when the black card was sacrificed, the originally noisy Yin Soldier Formation immediately dispersed.
"You...... How can you have ...... Talisman?! ”
Mrs. Xian was obviously stunned. "Could it be...... You are? ”
As soon as she thought of this, Mrs. Xian's face immediately changed drastically, and she shouted to the two mortals: "Quick! Go to your parents! ”
Xiaoli immediately understood, grabbed Xiaotong's hand and ran away.
After running for more than 100 meters, Xiaoli only heard the "Mrs. Xian" behind him:
"I see! You are the ...... of the Ten Temples Wheel! ”
Then there was no sound......
