Chapter 335: Trapped
And my appearance is just a coincidence, but as the person brought back by the eighth master himself, and the new young owner of the Xiaozi Xing, the word of mouth reached the ears of the second master Yao, he will naturally send someone to find out my origin, and he learned that I am the grandson of the white old ghost, and he must have other information that I don't know, so I decided that I am the key person who can help the red carp awaken the second soul in the body.
I haven't figured out the value of the red carp to the second master of Yao yet, but it is not difficult to see that the second master's feelings for her are very complicated, like a trade-off, self-contradiction, maybe my appearance is the key to his determination to dig the mystery of the red carp's life experience.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but let out a wry smile, maybe the second master who was at home at this moment must have guessed my speculation at the moment, and was preparing for the next move, just waiting for me to enter the set.
For this kind of human spirit who has lived for a long time, I have no intention of fighting with him, and everything is still only in the speculation stage, just like Mrs. Huo said, there is a decision in my heart, but I don't need to put it into practice for the time being.
I made up my mind, and my heart suddenly relaxed, even if the result was not satisfactory, it was much easier than being in a prison, and even people and ghosts couldn't tell what was coming.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
A slamming sound outside the door pulled his thoughts back, and when he pushed it open, he saw Sauron standing in the doorway.
"The location has been exposed, and Mrs. Huo has notified her to evacuate immediately." Zoro said in a deep voice.
I was stunned for a moment when I heard his words, but looking at Mrs. Huo and the Grass King and others who had already gathered in the courtyard, I nodded and followed out, looking at Mrs. Huo and couldn't help but ask, "Who is here?" ”
Mrs. Huo shook her head, "I don't know, but I'm sure it's not human." ”
My first reaction was to think of Yao Erye, but with his temperament, even if he turned his face, it couldn't be now, not to mention that there was no news from Sister Yu's side, but apart from him, could it be Jinpeng?
When everyone hesitated, they saw a black cat jumping out of the courtyard wall, half-squatting and standing at the head of the wall, and whispered: "The road out of the mountain has been blocked, prepare to meet the enemy." ”
Looking at the old lady Hei, I couldn't help but ask, "Even you can't help it?" ”
The old lady black gave me a blank look and said, "The other party knows that I dare to come here now, and he must have the strength to resist me, so let's go back to the house, instead of counting on me, it is better to think about how to deal with the offender." ”
In desperation, everyone turned around and returned to the main hall, everyone's face was covered with frost, only Mrs. Huo groaned for a moment and got up and turned to the back room, carrying a black long sword in her hand, "This sword is a congratulatory gift given to me by the old woman for her seventieth birthday, it is said that it was obtained in an ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty, although the old woman does not know how to use a sword, it may be seen that this thing is extremely restrained against evil things, today I will give it to you, I hope to exert its power in your hands." ”
As he spoke, he threw the long sword into my arms, and I was caught off guard and almost didn't catch it, but at the same time as I grasped the hilt of the sword in my hand, an extremely cold feeling immediately entered my body, and I couldn't help but shiver all over, and it took a while to calm down as usual.
The long sword was unpretentious, and there was nothing surprising about it, but the slightest coldness emanating from the hilt of the sword made my stupid and restless heart begin to settle down.
"How long will it be before they arrive?" Aunt Jinyue asked at this time.
"It's almost dark." The old lady said lightly: "Those who come are all evil people underground, and they can only guard the mountain pass during the day to prevent people from going out, and if you want to let go, you must wait until late at night." ”
Aunt Jinyue nodded, "Then there is still time, my junior sister and I will go out to set up the decoration, so as not to be caught off guard." ”
When Jinyue and Hua Qiyan went out, I looked at the old lady Hei and asked, "Don't you really know who attacked?" ”
"The yin and evil things in the world are inseparable from the control of Jiuquan Mansion, but those things outside the mountain are not just as simple as Jiuquan Mansion." The old lady black replied.
"I'm afraid there are Kunlun species mixed in it, right?" Zoro paused and said, "There are not many people on Kunlun Mountain who can rank with the old lady Hei, if it is really those old things going down the mountain, it will be really difficult to survive tonight." ”
When I heard Zoro talk about those old guys in the Kunlun Mountains, the first thing that came to my mind was those heavenly spirits with thousands of years of Taoism, like the prototype of the phoenix, the quail black, the nine-headed tiger-tailed Wukun beast, and the red snake that could swallow dragons...... If these things really come down the mountain and appear in the world, won't the world be chaotic?
The old lady shook his head and said: "The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, the world has not begun to be in chaos, there are defenders, those things dare not be born casually, even if they sneak down the mountain, they dare not commit murder, after all, there are many people who can cure them in this world, rest assured, it is estimated that they are only here to restrain me from doing it, and the rest depends on you." ”
I nodded when I heard this, pulled out the black iron sword in my hand, didn't answer, and then listened to Mrs. Huo whisper: "What I'm worried about now is not tonight, but in the future, it's good to be able to avoid tonight, what I'm afraid of is that after tonight, there are countless same nights waiting for us, Kunlun has been dormant in the Kunlun Mountains for thousands of years, if you really go down the mountain this time, you must be fully prepared, and you won't be untargeted, and you will retreat with one blow." ”
Maybe it was because of the pressure, but also because of Mrs. Huo's words, the house fell into silence for a long time, no one spoke, the Grass King had moved the stove from outside the courtyard to the house, refining the essence of the thousand-year-old bat corpse, Zoro had been sitting on the side and frowning tightly, probably thinking about countermeasures, after all, he was also the helm of the Northern Sect Xiangling, and he didn't do anything less to hold back the treasure and Fu Tianling, and the snake hit seven inches, especially for these Heavenly Spirits who have thousands of years of Taoism, Finding its weak point and then taking advantage of the situation to attack is the best choice to face the enemy tonight.
This silence was stalemate until Jin Yue and Hua Qiyan came back, the two of them looked tired, and before they could sit on the chair when they entered the door, they hurriedly said, "It's already here." ”
It was not yet dark, and the sun was setting, and the blood-like afterglow shot into the room through the crack in the door, making the faces of everyone even more bleak.
Hearing this, everyone stood up together, and their eyes fell on Aunt Jinyue at the same time, or Mrs. Huo was the first to speak, and asked in a low voice, "What is here?" ”
Aunt Jinyue frowned, bit her lip and said, "I didn't see anyone, but there are a few more dark red flags in the mountains, and the birds in the woods have been almost scared away, and it is estimated that this place will be surrounded soon." ”
"Such a big formation."
I couldn't help frowning, and then I saw Mrs. Huo nodding, "Before you find out who the enemy is, don't act rashly......"
But before she could finish speaking, a terrible scream suddenly came from outside the originally silent house, like a fuse, and one wail after another sounded, making everyone in the room move their faces together, and then they heard Hua Qiyan's face ugly: "It's the stone soldiers I have placed two meters outside the courtyard, it seems that they have arrived." ”
As soon as the screams fell, the courtyard suddenly began to blow a strong wind, rolling up the gravel and debris on the ground and smashing it on the doors and windows, and the whole house seemed to shake with it.
At the moment when the body was shrouded in darkness, a sound of a match striking sounded in my ears, and then I saw that in the darkness, Mrs. Huo's thin palm held a spark and lit the kerosene lamp on the table, covered the lampshade, and the dim light instantly reflected the nervous faces of everyone.
Sauron sat across from me, his face wringing out of water, his cheeks biting into a line, watching the movement around him vigilantly, and I clutched the hilt of my sword, staring intently at the door and the window, lest one of them might come out of somewhere.
"Boom...... ......"
There was a moment of stalemate, and a laugh like a fingernail scratching a blackboard was blown into the room by the wind through the crack in the door, burrowing into the ears and getting goosebumps all over my body.
