Section 130 Chapter 123 Candidates
The masked man really couldn't imagine who it was that made this thin old man come to entrust Qianfeng so solemnly. Besides, 10,000 taels of gold, even if it is thrown into the imperial court, can cause a huge response, and the old man who is famous for his greed for money and miserliness on weekdays would be so generous for this person.
"A little girl." The thin old man answered the masked man's question simply and clearly.
Girl? Could it be that this thin old man had a daughter in his old age, so he loved it very much? "I don't know what kind of identity this girl is, so that you can come in person?"
"Qianfeng's people, when did they become so ignorant of the rules?" The thin old man glanced contemptuously at the man in front of him.
Qianfeng's rules, whether it is the person entrusted with protection, whether it is a court felony who everyone can get and punished, a cruel and unmanned ocean thief, or a flower thief who is feared by all the girls, as long as he can afford to pay the money, he does not need to explain his identity to Qianfeng. The masked man's move has already exceeded Qianfeng's rules.
"It's reckless, and I ask you to forgive me." The masked man respectfully apologized to the thin old man. It's just the expression under the mask, but it's a look of "sure enough". It is said that this miraculous old man is still very stingy with his only son, but now he is willing to spend 10,000 dollars on a female baby. He felt that unless this girl was the little girl of the old man, there should be no one else in this world who would be so worthy of such preferential treatment by the old man.
"Hmph, it's good to know." The thin old man didn't look serious in the valley at all, and said with a serious face.
"According to the usual practice, if ten thousand taels of gold are used to protect people, the people sent by Qianfeng will be first-class, and the mission will be carried out for one year. Please keep these two things away, one is a token to confirm the identity of the protected person, and the other is to summon the person on a mission. The masked man respectfully handed the two things to the thin old man.
I saw that in the hand of the thin old man, a hexagonal token made of unknown things was engraved, and what was engraved on it was the totem on the big stone door at the door; The other is a common small whistle with the same totem on it.
The thin old man put his backhand in his hand into his sleeve pocket, looked at the masked man and said, "The person you sent to answer must have already received the ten thousand taels of gold at this time, so let the person who sent this mission come out and let me see it!" ”
"Of course." The masked man clapped his hands rhythmically a few times, and suddenly a black-clad man with a mask flew out from the left.
"Why, the old man spent a lot of money, can't he even see his face?" The thin old man frowned slightly, looking puzzled.
The masked man arched his hand and said, "It's really because this person is too ugly, that's why the mask shows people." If you are not at ease, you can naturally take a look. The masked man nodded to the man in black who had just appeared, and the man in black immediately took off his mask.
Beneath this mask, what an ugly face. No piece of flesh on his face was intact, as if it had been eaten by thousands of insects and ants. Except for the calm in those eyes, the one who looked at him could not put his eyes on any part of his face.
The thin old man is not a person who has never seen the world, and when he sees such a terrifying face, the expression on his face has never been the slightest bit unusual.
Alien visions, if innate, will have unusually special abilities in other aspects; If it is a later success, it means that this person has a bumpy life, Jackie Chan is an adult, and everything is unknown.
The thin old man was silent, immediately pinched his fingers, and suddenly raised his head and said to the masked man: "This person has not been in your Qianfeng for six years, and it is inevitable that you will be biased to call this person out." ”
"It's worthy of being a god-like old man, what the predecessors said is indeed not bad. It's just that among the thousand maples, there are only fifty people in total, and each of them is named after the ranking in the door. If you want to enter the Thousand Feng, you must first kill the fiftieth. Although this person has only been in my Qianfeng Sect for more than five years, every task has been completed 100% and perfectly. Now the ranking is already ranked second in the first class. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't dare to call this person out to fool my seniors. Therefore, there is no need for the senior to worry about his ability at all. The masked man nodded at the thin old man, so sure.
The thin old man still looked displeased, but he didn't say much, and continued to pinch his fingers and count.
But just when the three of them were silent, suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out of the mouth of the thin old man. Then he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth casually, and said to the masked man: "Okay, let's do it!" After speaking, he said to the man in black: "In the future, you will wear a mask, so as not to scare others."
When the thin old man spoke to the masked man, his tone was a little reluctant; The attitude towards the man in black is very picky. But neither of them knew how shocked the thin old man's heart was at this time.
At the beginning, the thin old man just calculated at random, and he didn't think much about it. But when the second time he counted, the thin old man accidentally saw something different.
The sun is shrouded, the sea of clouds is coiled, and the earth is revealed! This is the image of the birth of a true dragon!
This person, since birth, has been the image of the emperor. It's just a lifetime, it's too bumpy. The country is broken, the family is dead, the wife is separated, and the body is dead. Gathering so many ghost qi in one body, and now he can still stand here, it is enough to see the number of lives of this person. It's just that now this person's imperial star is very dim, and whether he can step on the path of the God King is still unknown.
Why would a thin old man allow such a calamitous person to protect Mengyu? Just because in that mouthful of essence blood, the thin old man actually saw Mengyu's face. This is not without shock! The thin old man couldn't count the origin and fate of Dream Language, but he saw the shadow of Dream Language in this person. If Heaven involves the two of them, even if he obstructs it, it will be difficult for him to die. It's better to push the boat down the river and wait and see. If there is really any problem, when the time comes, kill this person before he wakes up with the Emperor Star, that is.
The thin old man looked up and down at the man in black again, and said to the masked man, "Since the candidate has been decided, the old man will leave first." When that girl comes out of the valley, I'll naturally send someone to inform you, and then let the boy come by himself." ”
"Yes." The masked man saluted, and the man in black nodded slightly.
After the thin old man left, the masked man took out a white jade medicine bottle from his bosom and said to the man in black, "This is the amount of a year. You know, as long as you don't defeat one day, you can't get the complete antidote. ”
The man in black, known as Er, didn't speak, just nodded and took the white jade medicine bottle into his arms.
(Who is this person?) Those who don't know are children with faint souls!! )
Second, I have become quite numb to the task. Before he came to Qianfeng, he never thought that he would have such a life. For more than five years, he didn't have to do anything other than kill people day in and day out and deal with being killed. There are always a few days a month when the partners who used to fight side by side with him and go out on missions pointed their long swords at him one by one. From the beginning of the hand-me-down to the later insensitivity, he has fully accepted the truth that the flesh is weaker and stronger than the outside. If he had not beheaded them by his own sword, his name would have been added to Hades' book of the dead. One day, he got the name "Two". This is the supreme glory obtained by stepping on countless corpses and drinking countless blood. He was like a messenger of death, a demon who had come out of purgatory, and every day, he felt a little uncomfortable not letting the blood of others wet his hands.
Another mission, only this time it's different. Since he reached the position of "two", he has never taken over the task of protecting people, because no one can afford to spend such a large amount of money. I don't know how lucky a girl was to let the famous old man of the gods and rivers be willing to spend so much money.
In his heart, there was always a feeling that perhaps, this mission, compared with the past, would be a little different.
