Chapter XXVII
Okay, let's get down to business.
When I got back into the alley, the fog showed no sign of abating, and I had to lean over and look carefully on the ground as I walked deeper to find the coin.
I'm not sure exactly where the coin fell, but I remember it very well that it took me less than three seconds to get out of the alley after the coin landed.
In other words, the distance between the landing point and the exit of the copper coin should not exceed thirty meters.
But I searched the alley for a while, and as far as my eye could see, I saw nothing but the green bricks on the ground and the weeds and wild vegetables in the corners of the walls.
It wasn't until I was a hundred meters away from the entrance of the alley that I stopped, straightened up and looked ahead.
The fog was thick, the visibility was only about five meters, and in addition to the old walls on the left and right sides, there was a large white expanse in front of it.
I couldn't help frowning, could it be that in this thick mist, there was something other than ghosts.
I've heard the second master say before that unless it's a very powerful fierce ghost, ordinary ghosts can't directly affect objects in reality, they harm people, and they can only rely on creating illusions.
The second master also said that the ghost moves things, relying on the condensation of yin qi, attracting yin wind or heavy rain. And the so-called fierce god, that is, the powerful ghost who becomes a demon, is the most powerful of all ghosts, the second master did not say how the fierce god moves objects, he just said that as soon as the fierce god comes out, the heaven and the earth change color, either the sky rains rain, or the drought is thousands of miles.
There was no rain or drought, which means that my luck is not to the extreme, at least I will not meet the fierce god in the alley, and the fog does not disappear, which also means that there was no yin wind in the alley just now.
Since it wasn't the fierce ghost who took the copper coin, who could it be, or what could it be?
Just as he was thinking about this, a small cloud of dark green light suddenly erupted from the depths of the mist.
It only appeared for a brief moment, and then vanished.
And the moment it appeared, I felt a strange aura.
Actually, I'm not sure if it's a breath at all, it's not like a definite smell, it's more like a feeling, as if there was a very thin stream of air through my nose and slowly pouring into my heart, making my heart flutter slightly.
I've never felt anything like this before, and I was a little stunned for a moment.
What made me even more stunned was that I could clearly know that this "breath" was emanating from the copper coin, and I could even sense that the copper coin was less than 20 meters away from me.
Several unprecedented sensations appeared at the same time, as if they came from the depths of my subconscious, and as if they were imposed on me by the outside environment.
At that time, the Tongling Jade was still attached to my forehead, and with the blessing of it and the gossip songs, the stunned feeling in my heart only lasted for a few seconds, and then my mood quickly calmed down again.
Without further hesitation, I immediately leaned in the direction where the light mist appeared, and as I walked, I reached into the side pocket of my backpack and quietly took out the tooth and put it in my jacket pocket.
When the teeth were exposed to the mist, the lines on them immediately glowed a deep blue, but the moment I put it in my pocket, the glimmer disappeared quickly.
I didn't bother with it and kept going.
The breath of the copper coin was right in front of me, and it was only twenty meters away from me just now, but as I continued to move forward, it was getting farther and farther away from me.
Something was moving fast with it, without making a sound.
I put my right hand in my pocket, gripped the hilt of my fangs, and then took a big step and lunged towards where the coin was.
Soon, footsteps could be heard in the fog directly ahead, and the sound sounded deep, like the sound of a thick cowhide hitting the ground, but very fast.
I kept trying to sense the position of the coin, and at the same time I picked up my pace, almost sprinting forward at the speed of a 100-meter race.
The speed of the other party is also very fast, and I chased after it for a while, but I only shortened the distance a little.
After training with the second master for a month, I have long been accustomed to this kind of high-intensity strenuous exercise, but the guy running in front of me quickly couldn't hold on.
Now, in addition to the sound of heavy footsteps, there was also the sound of rapid breathing ahead.
That's when I realized that the guy in front of me was just like me, and he was a big living person.
He probably thought that he couldn't beat me with speed, so he changed direction at a fork in the road ahead and quickly turned into the alley on the left.
After that, the man quickly muffled his footsteps and breathing, as if trying to shake me off in this way.
But I can still clearly feel that the copper coin is seventeen or eighteen meters in front of the left, and the guy hasn't moved since he turned into the alley.
After rushing more than ten meters, I also came to a fork in the road. But at this moment, a strong light suddenly erupted in the fog, which was like a flash in the night sky, illuminating the surrounding scene in one moment, and in the next moment, the whole alley fell into deeper darkness.
The sudden bright light greatly stimulated my vision, and for a while I could only see large black patches and large blue-yellow spots floating on my eyes.
Before I could recover my strength, I felt the copper coins coming towards me at a very fast speed.
Although my vision was still a little blurry, I could roughly guess what was happening on the other side, and immediately shrunk and raised my hands, covering the door with my fists and my ribs with my elbows.
As soon as I made such a move, I felt that my knee was hit by a hard object, first it hurt sharply, and then my calf went limp, and I almost fell to the ground.
At the same time as I was hit, I also saw a vague outline in the afterglow, although I couldn't see it clearly, but I could still make out that it was a living person standing in front of me at this time.
He came up and attacked my knee, and his intention was obvious.
Sure enough, as soon as I reached out to hold on to the wall, he was about to turn and run away.
At the time, I still couldn't see him clearly, but I could see that he seemed to twist his neck and body, and I knew he was turning.
Holding back the pain in my knee, I concentrated all my strength on my other leg and kicked the ground and jumped at the man.
As soon as he turned around, before he could take a step forward, I was hit in the back by a flying shoulder.
At first, I just wanted to stop him from escaping, but I ignored a very important thing, that is, my current strength can be regarded as a world of difference compared to the past, plus a month of soaking in the medicinal bath, the muscles and bones are as hard as stones, if this time it hits solid, it will be difficult to kill someone.
But by the time I thought of this, my shoulder was already on his back, and before he could snort, his body flew out on the spot and slammed into the wall.
I didn't stabilize my center of gravity because I rushed so hard, and I fell directly to the ground after hitting him.
By this time, my eyesight had recovered a little, and I immediately stood up and looked ahead.
I saw an emaciated old man lying under the wall, and although I could not see his whole face with a blue light in my eyes, judging from his almost white hair, this man must be very old.
He looked thin, but after being hit with all my might, he was able to stand up quickly against the wall.
As soon as I saw that he was about to run again, I quickly limped after him, and although he could still stand, he was not lightly injured, and he kept his hands on his back when he walked.
He was slow, and I wasn't fast, but I was a little faster than him, and I gradually narrowed the distance between me and him.
He heard my footsteps and turned to look at me.
At this time, my eyesight had basically returned to normal, but it was too dark and there was fog around me, and I still couldn't see his appearance clearly.
Probably seeing that I was about to catch up with him, he picked up his speed as hard as he could, waving his arms and muttering a string of words I didn't understand.
Little did I know at the time that he was actually chanting incantations.
As he spat out the last note, the temperature around him suddenly dropped, and a translucent, droplet-like thing slowly emerged from the old man's sleeve.
As soon as that thing appeared, I felt a chill all over my body, and I didn't dare to hesitate at that time, and immediately took out my teeth from my pocket.
When I felt it out of my pocket, there was a faint blue glow on my teeth, and the droplet-like thing seemed to be stimulated in some way, and it trembled violently twice before burrowing back into the old man's cuffs.
The old man flicked his sleeves, then turned his head to look at me again.
His gaze should have fallen directly on my right hand, and he suddenly exclaimed: "Hanya! ”
Probably because I was so stunned that the old man's footsteps paused, I saw the opportunity, jumped up on one leg, and threw myself at him.
Don't look at his age, his reaction is still very fast, and as soon as I arrived in front of him, he immediately raised his fist and slammed it into my face.
He was very fast, and I had a leg wound that I didn't have time to dodge, so I had to raise my arm and cover my head with my forearm, leaving a gap between my arms, revealing one eye looking at him.
His rough old fist smashed firmly into my arm, and I immediately felt the bones of my forearm feel as if they had been hit by a hammer, and my heart ached.
The blow didn't hurt me substantially, and he rubbed himself against me again.
As soon as I saw his stance, I knew that he wanted to break his ribs with a short fist, and he wanted to dodge, but his speed was too fast, and as soon as I had this thought, there was a sharp pain on my left rib.
No, if I continue like this, I will definitely be by him.
He punched me in the left rib and then hit me in the right rib, and my brain was numb in pain, but I still managed to raise my arm with all my strength, and my arms slammed into him, directly clamping him.
This guy is much faster than me in terms of reaction and speed of shooting, and his fists are hard enough, but his strength is much worse than mine.
After being caught by me, he twisted his body quickly and punched me in the ribs.
The second master is right, my current body structure is indeed quite different from normal people, for ordinary people, rib injury, it is difficult to lift the arm, but now I just feel severe pain in the ribs, but the shoulders and arms can still move normally and exert force.
I grabbed my left wrist with my right hand and made a hoop between the two arms, which grabbed his arm and body, and then erupted into a violent force, squeezing hard.
He didn't seem to expect that after my rib injury, I would be able to burst out with such a fierce force, and at the moment when I exerted my strength, his eyes first widened in shock, and then he let out a half-scream from his throat: "Ahh......hhh
I was tightly restrained by me, and he only had the breath coming out but not the incoming air, and he couldn't make a sound normally.
