Chapter 158: Disappearing
Suddenly, a voice came from the pile of paper in the back: "Don't fight!" ”
The voice was very similar to that of the old man, and if he hadn't reached out in front of him, I would have thought the old man had run to the back.
At this moment, I twisted my body hard and flashed to the side, but Zhu Gui didn't dodge, picked up the shovel and slapped it again.
The old man's shadow was extremely flexible, just like a real shadow, and no matter how fast you moved, he could easily dodge it. Zhu Gui's spade is still empty.
The old man jumped two meters away and glared at us. I hurriedly turned my head to look at the location of the sound just now.
In the pile of paper stacks, slowly stood up a paper man, this person is thin, wearing a white robe, and has a goatee, although it is made of paper, but it is extremely realistic, only clothes, and the face has an obvious paper appearance, and the eyes, ears, nose and other facial features, but it is no different from a real person. It's just that this paper figure is missing a hand and a small half of the head.
At this moment, the three of us had already distanced ourselves, and we looked at the old man and the strange paper figure at each other, and the whole atmosphere seemed extremely strange.
Zhu Gui gasped for breath on the side, staring at the paper figure who had just stood up, the shovel in his hand was slightly raised, and he seemed to be ready to do it again.
After a minute of silence, the old man suddenly spoke, and he pointed to the trembling paper man and said, "You, what are you doing when you get up?" Still want to spoil my good deeds? ”
The paper man opened his mouth slightly, and it took a long time before he said: "Lao Jiu, don't hurt people anymore, don't think that if you temporarily avoid cause and effect, you may escape punishment, you must know that it is not that you don't report it, the time has not come." ”
"Shut up!" The old man shouted loudly, "I haven't settled accounts with you yet, every time I turn my elbow outward, sooner or later I will kill you." ”
"Alas!" The paper man sighed very strangely, weakly stretched out the crippled hand, pointed at the old man and said, "Don't force me, I did all this for your good, if you insist on going your own way, then I can't save you, I can only die together." ”
After hearing this, the old man's body was obviously shocked, and he was silent for a moment, and then sneered: "Hehe, do you think I am still the same as before?" Can you still threaten me with the death of the same fate? Old man, you think too simply, I don't kill you because it's useful to keep you, not because I'm afraid of you. ”
When the paper man heard this, he shook his head and sighed, and did not speak for a long time.
Looking at everything that happened in front of me, I was already a second monk and I was at a loss. I thought that Zhu Gui's actions just now were to discover something inside, but at this time, his eyes were also wide, his mouth was open, and he obviously had an incredible expression.
Although I was shocked that strange paper figure was able to stand up and speak human words, I could accept it, and I had never seen any strange scenes. But I can't figure out the content of their conversation, but I vaguely realize that this shadow old man wants to harm us, and the paper man wants to stop it, so what is the relationship between them?
The old man is just a shadow, and he can't see his facial features at all, but he can see that he also has a wisp of beard, so it can be said that the two seem to be somewhat similar in appearance, is it a brother?
The paper man sighed for a while, and his body suddenly began to tremble, and the old man also showed extreme uneasiness when he saw this, and hurriedly ran over, grabbed the paper man's crippled hand tightly, and said, "Don't you do stupid things, don't you really want to live?" You don't want to become an immortal? Have you forgotten what you once wanted? ”
The corners of the paper man's mouth turned upward, as if he was smiling, but the expression was very strange. Then he said slowly: "Old - Nine, let's be like this in this life, I have given you many chances, we are destined to go to hell after we die, I hope we can reflect there and reincarnate as soon as possible." Speaking of this, he turned his head slightly and said to us: "After I die, I will leave a map with a safe route to get out, this place is too dangerous, it is not for you and other mortals to manage, it is better to wait for the Daoist to come and settle this matter in the future." ”
"Calm down." The old man suddenly shouted, "You must not die, have you considered my feelings, I haven't lived enough, I promise you, let them go, I promise." ”
The paper man smiled weirdly again: "It's late, it's late, Lao Jiu, we were originally the same person, but now we have split into two souls, and even almost cannibalism, don't you think this matter will become a laughing stock for others?" I've reminded you many times not to do anything wrong and to cultivate honestly, but you just won't listen. You said I didn't consider your feelings, so have you considered my feelings, if I go to hell, it will be your fault, don't you feel ashamed of me? ”
When the old man heard this, he suddenly pushed his hand, pushed the paper figure to the ground fiercely, and laughed: "Hahaha......, die, you old guy, die, die, I don't want to see you again, but I won't let them go before I die, hahaha......" The old man laughed like crazy, then turned his head and said coldly: "Don't blame me for being ruthless, it's just that you came to a place where you shouldn't come, and you saw things you shouldn't see, go die." ”
After that, I only felt a dark shadow in my eyes, and the old man was already near. This time his speed was so fast and terrifying that I didn't have time to dodge at all, and I was instantly pinched by the old man's arm to my neck, and suddenly, a feeling of suffocation came.
Seeing this, Zhu Gui picked up the shovel again and slapped it towards the old man, this time he didn't hide, and took a solid hit.
I only heard a muffled bang, the shovel was bounced up more than two feet high, and then I saw that the old man's head had been deformed, and there seemed to be some liquid flowing down from it, but it was all shadows, and it was not clear at all.
Despite this, the old man's hand did not let go at all, and he still grabbed my neck.
At first, I was caught off guard by him, and I couldn't exert my strength in my hands and feet, but now that I have my true qi, my neck is slowly swelling outward, and my hands have returned to normal.
I quickly grabbed the old man's wrist and violently broke it outward, and at this time, Zhu Gui also slashed at the old man's arm.
I don't know if it was Zhu Gui's shovel that hurt him, or if my strength played a role, the old man's hand suddenly let go, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and then I saw that the old man's body on the ground began to slowly shrink, but I could still see that his limbs were struggling desperately, as if it was in pain, and it didn't take long for him to disappear in front of our eyes.
In astonishment, I hurriedly looked back at the paper man, although he didn't seem like an enemy of us just now, but through this old man's lesson, we must not trust others easily.
