Chapter 8: Morning (3)

The white snow left a jumble of footprints. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The vague shadows of three people chased through the snow.

Running in front was an old man in a hospital gown.

Despite his age, he was nimble on his feet, and despite the constant thin threads of silk blocking his feet, he was still able to throw the two people behind him far away.

However, he could not run out of the open space surrounded by silk coils, and could only keep turning and turning back, weaving through layers of silk threads, looking like a nimble rabbit.

Ye Baiyu and Xia Beifeng chased and intercepted the old man in the circle, but they could never catch him in the corner of his clothes, and they had to accept the ridicule of the other party from time to time.

"This fellow Taoist ......"

Ye Baiyu suddenly stopped, slowly tidied up his sleeves, and said to Xia Beifeng: "Although I don't know who Daoist friend is, since he came to help me, he shouldn't be a bad person." ”

"Huh?"

Xia Beifeng glanced back at the person behind him suspiciously, and a certain ominous premonition appeared in his heart: "Daoist Ye is he...... What do you want to say. ”

"That's right."

Ye Baiyu pointed to the old man who was standing not far away and looked at them with a smile, with a serious face: "This monster has a lot of ability, probably unwilling to be caught obediently." Although Daoyou trapped him here, but the two of us chased him like this, I'm afraid that we won't be able to catch him after all, so it's better for us to ......."

"How?"

Xia Beifeng put on a curious expression, but with his understanding of Ye Baiyu, he had already guessed what this guy was going to say next.

"Poor Dao has some killer moves in his hands, but it takes some time to prepare. It's better for you to stand up alone for a while, wait for me to set up the formation, and then capture this demon in one fell swoop. ”

I knew it.

Master, didn't there ever be such a thing as a festival exercise in your old man?

Xia Beifeng looked at Ye Baiyu helplessly and nodded.

"But I don't have a weapon in my hand that can defend myself, I don't know if Daoist Ye can borrow something from me."

"Oh, not really."

Ye Baiyu spread his hands, saying that he couldn't help.

"Hahaha......"

The old man stood aside, listened to the conversation between the two of them, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Ye Baiyu, why are you like this...... After so many years, you don't have any cheekiness, how old are you this year! I also bully other children! ”

"Shut up!"

Ye Baiyu threw a few hot sparks at him angrily: "Who are you, you have the ability to say your name generously!" ”

"How can the name of the deity tell you like that!"

The old man roared with full anger, raised his hand and threw out a gust of wind, waving away the fluttering flames.

The three of them just fell into a stalemate of staring at each other.

Xia Beifeng looked at his master helplessly, and Ye Baiyu glared at the old man angrily.

The old man, on the other hand, looked at Xia Beifeng with interest.

"This thing that's holding me back now......"

The old man stretched out his hand and flicked it lightly in the void, shaking off a few fine snowflakes.

A string-like whimper came from the empty air, dragging a trembling tail note into the ears of the trio.

"What is your relationship with Xia Bailu?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

Xia Beifeng asked rhetorically without thinking.

"Of course it does."

The old man raised his head proudly: "Because I taught her this thing." ”

So who the hell are you? I've never heard of it!

Xia Beifeng clenched the filament of his palm, and looked at the old man in front of him with more and more contempt.

"Xia Bailu?"

Ye Baiyu looked at Xia Beifeng suspiciously, and moved his steps to distance himself from him: "Do you know her?" ”

Xia Beifeng nodded, staring intently at the old man in front of him, avoiding Ye Baiyu's inquiring gaze: "Let's solve this first, let's go back and talk about Xia Bailu's matter slowly, maybe we will have to rely on Daoist Ye for help." ”

When Ye Baiyu heard this, he seemed to be relieved, and turned his head and arched his hand at the old man.

"This senior, since you still refuse to say who you are, then I can only show you some real skills."

"Oh? What other real skills do you have? ”

The old man stood in the wind and snow with his hands behind his back. He stood straight, his ill-fitting hospital gown tightly wrapped around his strong body, and a pair of bare feet in the snow, already a little bruised from the cold. But he didn't realize it, with such a dying face, he could still make a little momentum to look at the world.

The old man stretched out a hand and pointed to Ye Baiyu's sleeve: "Don't work hard, the things in there won't come out, you should die." ”

"What's that?"

Ye Baiyu secretly shook his hand and put on a confused expression.

Snowflakes kept falling from the sky, and the bone-chilling wind blew again.

The old man was about to say something, but at the moment when the wind blew, he and Ye Baiyu raised their heads and looked into the sky.

The sky was gloomy and terrifying, and it made people's chests feel stuffy for a while.

Xia Beifeng didn't know why, "Since these two big people who are very powerful at first glance are looking up at the celestial phenomena, then I will also take a look and pretend to be a force", and raised his head with them.

A bolt of lightning flashed through the blackened clouds, with a strange red, bright and dazzling.

A long trail of thunder followed.

Thunder on a snowy day?

Or red thunder?

Xia Beifeng was stunned.

The thunder echoed in the ears of the three of them, and it took a long time to disperse.

"You see, it's not me at all that you're supposed to be chasing now."

The old man pointed in the direction they had come and sighed, "I really just accidentally passed by. The person you're looking for can be found by keeping watch in the hospital, so there's no need to chase me here. And it's useless to chase it. ”

"Accidentally passing by?"

Ye Baiyu hugged his arms and laughed: "Such a coincidence, just today?" At this time? In that hospital? ”

"It's not a coincidence, but I really don't want to get into trouble."

The old man nodded at Ye Baiyu sincerely: "That guy has nothing to do with me at all, whether you believe it or not." So you might as well hurry up and find the person you need to find, and as for me, let me go home." ”

"How's that going to work?"

Ye Baiyu's smile became more and more bright: "Just let you go like this, we have no face." You say yes, this fellow Daoist? ”

As the two spoke, several more flashes of lightning flashed in the sky.

Xia Beifeng recovered from the shock of the "Winter Thunder Earthquake", and nodded firmly at Ye Baiyu: "That's right, we came out to mix, or face is the most important!" ”

"That's it."

Ye Baiyu snapped his fingers, raised his chin at the old man, and showed a smug smile.

The old man subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at his feet.

He ran out of the hospital without shoes. After running for so long, my feet were already covered with many small wounds, and I was already unconscious when I stepped on the snow at this time.

You can't even feel the cold.

The old man stood in the snow and moved his legs.

His feet were covered with a layer of flesh at some point~ The transparent thin ice that was difficult to see clearly with the eye froze his feet firmly on the ground and could not move.

"I see."

He suddenly nodded at Ye Baiyu: "Take advantage of the words to distract me, so that you can freeze the ice here." But do you think this little gadget will do the trick for me? ”

The old man lifted one leg vigorously as he spoke.

There was a small cracking sound when the ice shattered, and listening to Xia Beifeng felt pain for him.

A wisp of blood dripped down the torn instep and onto the snow.

"It's just a little bit of a gadget, of course you won't be afraid."

Ye Baiyu shrugged his shoulders: "But the body you use to put on casually is not in good condition!" You've barely held out for so long, running and fighting, it should be about the same! ”

The old man paused as he lifted his feet.

The dark blue flames "hula" rose from under his feet, circled around his side, and locked him inside.

A bright red lightning flashed in the sky again, and the faces of the three people on the snow were a little weird.

It's like a ghost who has to get together because of his own agenda.

The old man's legs were only lifted to the average, and the fine pieces of ice ballast were still hanging from the hem of his trousers, but his body shook a few times first.

Then he fell straight to the ground.

"Looks like the timing is just right!"

Ye Baiyu clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Lao Tan's organs have failed to the limit, no matter who you are, it is very uncomfortable to be in such a body, it is better to come out and catch up with me." ”

The old man, who was lying face down in the snow, moved slightly twice, and snorted a few nasal sounds.

Xia Beifeng's eyes widened in surprise.

As the old man spoke, he saw a young male "person" wearing an ancient costume, with a high crown and wide sleeves, and handsome eyebrows, slowly detached from the old man's body.

The man didn't look like an ordinary undead, and his body would have a somewhat translucent blur. Instead, it is more like a living creature with a body, with a certain chilling aura on his body, and the whole person seems to be a little dark.

The young man wasn't dark, and his skin was pale, but for some reason, when he looked up, it seemed as if the light around him had dimmed a little.

Xia Beifeng and Ye Baiyu were stunned.

"Wuxi Ghost King?"

After a long time, Ye Baiyu didn't dare to ask uncertainly. After seeing the man nodding, he immediately jumped to his feet and roared: "Can't you sleep at home well, come out and toss me blindly~ What are you doing!" It's fun to see me! ”

"It's okay."

The young man known as the "Witch King" nodded and smiled: "It's really fun to see you angry. ”

Ye Bai Yu was so angry that he almost rolled up his sleeves and did it himself.

"Fellow Daoist, calm down, please put the knife down! Murder is illegal, and besides, it's not convenient to hide corpses in this place this season. ”

Xia Beifeng stretched out his hand and pressed Ye Baiyu's shoulder, glanced back at the "Ghost King", and after making sure that he was not dazzled, he asked, "Who is this person, what kind of ghost king are you talking about?" ”

In fact, his heart was even more surprised than Ye Baiyu.

Because of this ghost king, he looks too much like Shen Luotian, the unborn bear child in the hospital.

It's exactly the same, and it's ~~ embarrassing.

Xia Beifeng's heart faintly sensed a certain possibility.

Then I felt even more aggrieved.

It turns out that what "Lord Witch King" has been tossing for so long before, is it in my house?

That scourge of slumping on the couch every day, playing games and watching anime, eating this junk food, and jumping around?

Is it the Witch King?

It's a joke!

Just when his heart was turned upside down for a while, the person and ghost over there didn't care about his emotions at all, and chatted as if no one was around.

"Lord Ghost King, long time no see! How do you have time to go out today. ”

"It's not because of the good weather anyway. It's you, who haven't seen you for so long, but your ability has not grown at all, and you are still those little clever, and you can really sit firmly in that position. ”

"Probably because my opponents are more modest, and I'm completely shameless...... Anyway, you haven't told me why you're here. ”

"It's a long story."

The Ghost King raised his right hand as he spoke, and shook it towards Ye Baiyu: "Do you see this thing, it tied me here and couldn't leave." I thought I could get rid of it by finding a living person to possess me, but it didn't work, and I could get as far as I could get here, and if I kept going, she would pull me up. ”

The two stared intently.

I saw an extremely thin red silk thread wrapping around the ghost king's wrist twice, one end was tied with a bow on his wrist, and the other end was spreading in the direction of the hospital, fluttering back and forth under the blowing of the wind.

"I was sleeping at home today, and suddenly a few outsiders came, and I was in front of, cough cough, this has nothing to do with you. In short, you have to understand that I was sleeping, and then suddenly a woman came up next to me and asked me if I wanted to be her son. Of course I don't want to be her son anymore! I asked her if you were crazy, but I didn't expect her to tie a red thread to my hand and pull me here...... You know what happened after that. ”

"Red line?"

Ye Baiyu touched his chin, looked at the red line in front of him thoughtfully, and held back for a long time before he said a sentence: "I know that some women use red threads to tie their husbands home...... It's the first time I've heard of kidnapping someone as a son. ”

The Ghost King glanced down at the red thread on his wrist, then turned his head to look at the transparent silk thread that stopped behind him, anger gradually gathered in his eyes, and his hand was already clenched into a fist.

"I'm just joking to adjust the atmosphere, you don't have to be so angry."

Ye Baiyu smiled, stared at the Ghost King's increasingly bad face, and decisively changed the topic: "It's not like this thing is tied up, it takes a little effort for ordinary lonely souls and wild ghosts to be detained, let alone you." What is the origin of that woman, so that a red thread can tie you here! ”

"Her name is Char Bailu."

The Ghost King paused as he spoke, glanced at Xia Beifeng meaningfully, and then continued: "When I crossed the Heavenly Tribulation, she was only fifteen years old, but because of her fate, she was destined for me, and when she passed by, she led a thunderbolt for me, and almost lost her life. So that's what I owe her. ”

The ghost king shook his wrist as he spoke, and said quite angrily: "At the beginning, I just promised her that she could come to me for help if there was anything, but I didn't expect her to let me be her son!" ”

"But you've already promised her first, and if you break your promise now, you'll ...... next time."

Ye Baiyu didn't finish speaking, just stretched out his hand and pointed to the clouds in the sky that were still releasing lightning: "Next time it will be even more difficult." ”

"That's right, so I'll have to follow her."

"Then why are you still running?"

Xia Beifeng couldn't help but interject: "With an identity like you, if you don't fulfill your promise well, you will be stained with cause and effect." Since I had already said yes, I can only do what I say now. ”

"That's right, since I promised her, I'll do it. It's only a hundred years in this reincarnation, and it's not enough for me to take a nap, and it's not troublesome to be reincarnated once, but it's just ......"

"Just?"

Xia Beifeng subconsciously repeated it and looked at him suspiciously.

"Look up for yourself."

The ghost king pointed to the sky and threw down such a sentence: "The clouds are thick, the snow is thundering, and the lightning is going to happen!" ”

"Is it going to happen, or is it a big deal?"

Ye Baiyu also raised his head and sighed with emotion: "Looking at this posture, it seems that he is still a living person, it's really troublesome!" ”

A thick~long red lightning bolt fell from the sky and landed not far from the three of them, smashing a wisp of green smoke on the ground.
