Chapter 361: A skinny middle-aged man
The days passed like this, and Qingyao and I, as well as the man in black, were also on the way. In the meantime, something happened on the road. But most of them are inconsequential, but one of the things that happened to me the most reminded me of my sister back then.
In the evening of this day, the man in black looked at the mountains and trees in the distance and said, "Let's rest here for the night today, in three days, I think we can almost get there." Take a good rest tonight and keep your spirits up and continue your journey tomorrow. ”
I nodded: "Well, let's rest here for the night, it just so happens that I'm a little tired." After a day's walk, both legs were sore and sore. ”
With that, I sat down where I was. After a short rest, I went out to find some dry wood and lit a fire. After a simple meal of dry food, we were ready to rest early.
I sat against the trunk of the tree, and Qing Yao sat beside me. Qing Yao's head rested lightly on my shoulder, and I could ask about the aroma emanating from Qing Yao's body. The man in black, on the other hand, found a tree to climb up to rest.
"I'll be able to see your master in a few days, aren't you particularly happy?" Qing Yao looked up at me and asked.
I smiled and said, "Hehe, how do you say it." It's been a long time since I've seen my master, and I do miss him, but I'm more worried about his safety. I'm afraid that the ghost king will do it at any time, and if that happens, I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”
"Well, it won't be long before we can see you. You don't have to think about it so much, it must be fine. Qing Yao slowly stretched out her hand and gently stroked my cheek and said.
I nodded and said, "Well, I see, you can go to bed early." ”
As I spoke, I stretched out my right hand and gently scraped the bridge of Qing Yao's nose. Qing Yao smiled, then closed her eyes, and her hands wrapped around my arms at this time.
The man in black sat on the tree, looking at the two of us and shaking his head helplessly. I looked at the man in black and smiled, and the man in black gave me a blank look.
I lowered my head and closed my eyes, no longer looking at the man in black. And the man in black also slowly closed his eyes and prepared to rest.
Just as I was sleeping in the middle of my sleep, I heard a whisper of someone. I opened my eyes suddenly, and I realized that it wasn't a person speaking, it looked like someone was chanting some incantation.
At this time, the man in black, like me, was listening to where the sound was coming from. Qing Yao slowly opened her eyes, she also realized that something was wrong, but she didn't speak.
"Over there." The man in black and I pointed to the south at the same time and whispered.
I looked at the man in black, and I got up from the ground. The man in black quickly jumped from the tree.
In fact, we didn't have to worry about hearing the sound, but now it's close to midnight, and it's deep in the mountains and old forests. This makes us have to be vigilant when we hear the voice.
Due to our location, it is a relatively low terrain place. The direction in which the sound came from was on the other side, that is, in a higher place. If we want to see what's going on, we have to go there.
The man in black and I put the baggage and everything in place, while Qing Yao stayed where and looked at the clothes. I looked at the man in black and ran in the direction of the sound.
When we walked to a higher place, the sound was getting closer and closer to us. The man in black and I lowered our figures, and then approached in that direction step by step.
Soon after, I suddenly saw a pale blue glow not far away. When I looked closely, I saw that it was
The glow of the flames. The light was not the normal color of a flame, but a pale blue.
When I saw this, I felt that something was wrong, and the man in black frowned.
The man in black turned to look at me and said, "I'll take a closer look from the side, you wait here." ”
I nodded, and the man in black ran to the side. I lay down on the spot, ready to see what was in the distance.
As time passed, the man in black did not return. At this time, I noticed that the yin qi was constantly converging in the direction of the blue firelight. And at this time, I suddenly remembered that tonight was a full moon night, and if what I saw was really some kind of ghost thing, then when that thing finished absorbing the gathered yin qi, it would not be easy to deal with.
I looked around, and I saw that the man in black was still nowhere to be seen. So, I decided to go and see for myself, and if the situation wasn't right, I might as well do it as soon as possible. As I thought about it, I changed my mind to approach in that direction.
Just as I was about to get closer, I hid in the Hou Temple of a tree. Then, I poked my head out and looked in that direction.
I saw a lonely grave not far in front of me, and the lonely grave had been dug up at this time. Directly in front of the lonely grave was a large cloth with a dead body on top of it. I observed for a moment, and I noticed that the dead body seemed to be a woman, and the dead body's abdomen was still slightly bulging.
Next to the dead body stood a middle-aged man, skinny and with a goatee, who looked like a monkey with a sharp beak. To the right of the man was a fire, and the flame of the fire was a pale blue, which was the light I had seen earlier. At this time, the man's face was blue from the firelight, and it was still a little scary from a distance.
The man sat cross-legged next to the entity, his eyes closed and his mouth muttering something incessantly. But don't think about it, this man must be doing some kind of sorcery.
At this time, the yin qi was hovering over the corpse, and many of it was burrowing into the ears and nose of the corpse.
When I saw this scene, I actually had a sense of déjà vu. I inexplicably remembered my sister, the one who used to be very good to me. It's just that in the end, he died at the hands of Zhang Xiu. It's been years, and I've put it down. But when I saw this, I gritted my teeth viciously.
I really didn't expect that such a vicious method would still be used. Then I stood up and prepared to stop the man.
Before I could take two steps, my foot seemed to touch something. And the next moment, the sound of bells sounded not far away.
"Jingle Bell ......"
I secretly said no, this must be a trap from that guy.
The next moment, the middle-aged man opened his eyes and looked directly in my direction. I dodged in a hurry, hiding behind a large tree.
The middle-aged man stopped the spell in his mouth, he slowly stood up and looked in my direction and said, "Hehe, since you have found out, why hide." Rather than this, it's better to come out and talk about it. ”
I gritted my teeth, and I knew this man must have seen me. There's no point in me hiding now, it's better to just go out.
Then I walked slowly out from behind the tree.
I looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Hehe, I really didn't expect that your eyes and ears are still quite useful." ”
"Hehe, I can definitely hear such a loud voice. I don't want to kill tonight, and it's okay if you see it, and you'd better get out of here before I change my mind. The middle-aged man looked at me and said.
I sneered, "Me."
Walk? Tell you, no way. You are here to do all the things that have lost your conscience, don't think I can't see it. Are you not afraid that you will be damned? ”
"Yo he, it seems that I met a peer. This matter is different, then you don't leave today, it is best to nourish this newborn baby with your soul. The middle-aged man said as he picked up a long sword on the ground.
As soon as I saw the appearance of this middle-aged man, I knew that this was going to start. It's normal to think about it, since I found out about his deeds, then he will definitely not let me go. But when it comes to fighting alone, I haven't had to serve anyone yet, and of course the sneak attack behind the back doesn't count. Anyway, I also learned a lot of moves from my master. Otherwise, how did I get here after so many years? Although there is luck in it, there is also my strength in it.
The corners of my mouth lifted for a moment, and then I pulled out the golden sword behind my back.
When the middle-aged man saw the golden sword in my hand, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yo, this sword is a good sword." In that case, I'll take care of it for you after you die. ”
As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man rushed towards me. The long sword in his hand was raised at the same time, and he pointed it directly at my chest.
I lifted the golden sword and struck at the middle-aged man's sword.
After a crisp sound, the middle-aged man and I took two steps back at the same time.......
At this point, I flicked my arm. Because of the collision just now, my mouth was numb. It seems that this middle-aged man is also a person with something. Although he looks skinny, his strength is very amazing, so I don't dare to think about underestimating the enemy.
And the middle-aged man looked at me and frowned, he didn't expect that I was also powerful. And his face also became serious at this time.
"Stinky boy, something. It seems that I am not stupid to stop me, but you don't think that you can do it, the world is more dangerous than you see. The middle-aged man looked at me and opened his mouth to say.
I don't understand what he meant when he said this, was he trying to persuade me to be careful? Still warning me that he hasn't done it all.
But these don't matter anymore, since the fight has begun, then don't cower and just do it.
Then, without any further hesitation, I directly raised my sword and rushed towards the middle-aged man. The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth rose slightly at this time, and then he rushed towards me.
Just when I saw the middle-aged man's smile, I vaguely felt that something was wrong. It always felt as if he had a trap ready for me.
Although I felt that something was wrong in my heart, I still stabbed the golden sword towards the middle-aged man's chest. Just as the tip of the sword was about to approach the middle-aged man's chest, the middle-aged man directly picked the golden long sword in my hand with his long sword, and then stabbed at my neck with a sword.
The middle-aged man's actions were done in one go, and the speed was extremely fast. But fortunately, my reaction was not slow, I hurriedly dodged the blow sideways, and at this time, I used my left arm to clamp the middle-aged man's arm with the long sword, and my golden long sword stabbed the middle-aged man in the abdomen.
The middle-aged man wanted to withdraw his arm, but I clamped it tighter and tighter. At this time, the golden long sword in my hand was already getting closer and closer to the middle-aged man's abdomen. Seeing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly kicked me in the ribs. At this time, the golden long sword in my hand also left a hole in his abdomen at the moment when he kicked it open.
I was kicked backwards by the middle-aged man several steps before I could stabilize my figure. The middle-aged man, on the other hand, slowly stretched out his hand to his abdomen.
