The cold wind is howling, and the cold rain is falling.

The dilapidated deserted village is deserted.

Under the dark night, it looks a little gloomy.

And in this case, the sudden appearance of a rickety person is indeed an abnormal thing.

The dark shadow was getting closer and closer, and soon came to the door.

This is an old man with gray hair who looks at least in his prime.

He stopped in front of the door, opened his somewhat cloudy eyes, and looked into the house.

The orange flames burned silently and fluttered in the wind, changing the shadows into different shapes.

Wei Tao put down the leg of mutton, clasped a few iron nails in his palm, and adjusted his posture as if inadvertently, ready to burst out at any time.

Although it has lost various exercise bonuses.

Even the most basic qi and blood can't be carried.

But when he practiced martial arts for so many years, he still knew all kinds of moves by heart, and coupled with the combat experience brought by countless life-and-death battles, it brought him strength and confidence far beyond ordinary people.

But the situation is unclear at this time.

The roots of the old man who came in the rain are also unknown.

So Wei Tao didn't immediately make a move, but pointed to the open space around him, as well as the barbecue on the bonfire, and put on a hospitable invitation gesture.

There was a soft squeak.

The mutilated wooden door was pushed open.

The old man came in from outside, took off his hat and took off his coat, revealing his thin body.

He nodded, and sat down by the fire.

took the wolf leg handed by Wei Tao again, and tore the burnt wolf meat on it.

For the next moment, neither of them spoke, but ate all their food in silence, and then remained silent on the fire.

Since midnight, the wind has been getting stronger.

Passing through the empty and uninhabited wilderness, the shrill whistling ghost cries wolf.

Instead of being blown away by the wind, the clouds became heavier and lower, like a black mountain covering the top of the head.

Before you know it, the raindrops turn into snowflakes, and the stars fall in the wind, and soon a layer of fine salt is sprinkled on the ground.

As time went on, the snow became heavier and heavier.

From scattered ice chips to goose feather snow, the fine salt quickly piled up into a thick white blanket, and the sky and earth were full of white expanse.

Only this deserted village stone house keeps the cold outside, which can be regarded as retaining the only warmth.

Dense footsteps could be heard from far and near.

Soon they were close to the stone house.

Wei Tao slowly raised his head and looked out the door.

The line of sight passed through the vast snow and fell on several middle-aged men and women who were also wearing hats and robes.

"The two friends inside, can the slave family come in and take shelter from the snow?"

The woman stepped forward slowly, first saluted the old man in black, and then asked with a smile on her face.

The old man coughed lightly, "The old man is also borrowing here, if you want to come in, you have to ask the master what he means." ”

Wei Tao lowered his eyes and stared at the fire in front of him, "The night is dark and cold, the wind and snow are sudden, and I have no reason to drive people out." ”

"Thank you to the princess for taking her in, there is a lot of disturbance this time, and I hope the son doesn't mind."

She straightened her clothes, sat down in an open space, and said as if unintentionally, "Is Childe someone nearby, this place has not been very peaceful recently, you are traveling alone, but you should pay attention to all kinds of dangers lurking in the dark, don't accidentally lose your life without knowing it." ”

"Dangerous ...... in the Dark"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, and then asked, "I'm just a farmer and hunter, but I don't know what kind of danger you are talking about.

If it is a wolf pack roaming in the wilderness, you must be careful when you encounter it at night, otherwise it is very likely to be chased and intercepted by them, and if you fail to hunt, you will be killed. ”

The woman sighed, and when she spoke again, her voice was extremely low, "I didn't expect that the little brother looked at Mian Sheng, and there was no trace of the spiritual element of cultivation on his body, but the news was quite smooth and well-informed, and he had actually heard of the name of our four wolves in Xiaoshan." ”

Speaking of this, she turned her head to look at the old man in black on the side, and the smile on her face became brighter and more enchanting.

"Someone came out with a bounty for entering the spiritual spring, and wanted to take the head of Heisha's predecessors, and the four of us tracked it for more than ten days, and finally blocked the seniors in this deserted village tonight, and didn't let others take the lead."

"Just a few stupid people, dare to say that you are not ashamed to take the life of the old man?"

The black-robed old man had a disdainful expression on his face, as if he didn't pay attention to the four people opposite him at all.

But in the next moment, before he could finish his words, the quietly burning fire exploded.

In an instant, sparks splashed everywhere, and the entire stone house was filled with smoke and dust.

There was a cold light flickering, and the figure was flying.

There were screams and moans in between.

The confrontation lasted only a few breaths.

There was no temptation on both sides, and they came up with their strongest attacks to face them head-on, completely fighting for life and death without sparing their lives.

The black-robed old man spat blood from his mouth, staggered back, and stopped with difficulty after a few steps.

He tried to calm his breath and looked quietly at the three men lying on their backs not far away.

They're no longer good.

Don't retreat, don't avoid, that's it.

The winner lives, and the loser dies.

Not even a single last word remained.

"You, you're not seriously injured, you've reached the brink of life and death, and you can still ......"

The woman's left arm was broken at the shoulder, and blood flowed down her body, quickly soaking the clothes she was wearing.

She seemed to be frightened, and fled outside in a panic, not daring to even look back at the corpse of her companion.

"The old man was injured, but he didn't pay attention to a few wild dogs."

The black-robed old man did not continue to kill, nor did he chase in the direction where the woman fled, but just stood silent and motionless in the room, as if after the outbreak just now, it suddenly turned into a sculpture that would not move.

The cold wind penetrated through the holes in the doors and windows, and his face flickered in the firelight, and with the dark red blood stains on his face, it looked like an abyssal demon had descended on the earth.

After a few moments, Kurosa wiped the blood from his lips and gradually calmed his breathing, then turned his head to look at the corner of the stone house.

"Why didn't you run?"

His voice was dry and hoarse, and he asked in confusion.

"You guys fought too fast, and some of them didn't meet my expectations, so I didn't have time to run away."

"What's more, although the old gentleman killed someone, he has always focused his attention on me, so even if I decide to run, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to leave."

Wei Tao stood up straight from behind a pile of rubble, his gaze moved away from the three corpses on the ground, and then fell on the old man in black, his eyes thoughtful.

In the battle that had just broken out suddenly, he sensed an inexplicably familiar aura, which seemed to have a lot to do with that chaotic light.

But after more in-depth and careful consideration, this aura of power was not only related to the chaotic light, but also most likely involved the ocean formed by the condensation of the mist.

The two are intertwined and superimposed, fusing with each other, which may be the source of the spirit yuan in the woman's mouth.

Therefore, if you can get a cultivation method related to Lingyuan, maybe you can lift that veil of mystery little by little and get a glimpse of the hidden truth under the strange appearance of this world.

"It's a pity that you don't run."

Heisha sighed, "Originally, the old man ate your two wolf legs and had the heart to spare your life, but who knew that you didn't run, which can be regarded as a rare kindness of the old man in vain." ”

As he spoke, he looked Wei Tao up and down, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, but the expression on his face became more and more puzzled.

"I thought you were hiding your strength and were going to hide to the side and pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, but the old man didn't find out until now that you were not pretending to be a pig, but a real pig without any spiritual yuan."

The words fell, and the black sand slowly approached the corner of the house.

There seemed to be a breeze blowing all around, causing the flames to flicker and darken, and patches of ash swirling and flying.

And with his movements, the whole room instantly became cold, and there was no longer the bright warmth of the bonfire just now.

Swish!

There was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, a sharp whistling.

A stone flew in and slammed into the black sand like lightning.

There was a muffled pop.

Kurosand looked down at his neck and reached out to pick up the stone from the stagnant void.

"You're the wolf you killed with this juggling?"

He frowned slightly, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face, "It's quite good strength and accuracy, if it were other ordinary people, maybe you would be hurt by penetrating the throat this time, and even if you don't die, you will be seriously injured."

It's a pity that you don't enter the path of cultivation, you can't perceive the Imperial Envoy Lingyuan, and even if you get rid of it alive and exhausted, it is impossible to break through the old man's defenses. ”

Bang bang bang!

As Heisha spoke, dense stones were like barrages, constantly smashing on his body, but none of them could break the invisible barrier, let alone hurt the body that was firmly wrapped.

Boom!

A figure came out of the window and quickly sank into the depths of the snowy night.

Black Sand followed, although blood continued to gush out from the seven orifices, and his body stumbled after landing, but he still began to run wildly immediately, following the snow footprints all the way away.

Whew!

From time to time, stones pierced through the darkness, and whenever they were about to land on the surface of the black sand body, they hovered without warning, causing no harm to it.

The two of them walked one after the other, stepping on the snow in the cold night wilderness.

As time passed, the black sand aura became more and more unstable, and his movements were no longer as agile as before, as if he was about to reach his limit.

But at this moment, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at his temples on both sides, his eyes suddenly lit up with bright light, and the spirit of the spirit yuan qi instantly soared.

The distance between the two sides was rapidly approaching, and soon they were within ten paces.

Click!

Wei Tao stomped on the ground and turned sharply.

First, all the iron nails were shot out at once, and then one foot stepped forward, and the other foot dragged back, and the red line fist was put into a starting pose.

A strong wind blew in his face, carrying a strong smell of blood.

The two figures instantly intertwined and collided in one place.

………………

……………………

The middle-aged woman gasped for breath and ran wildly in the snowy night.

She didn't even care if she dropped a shoe, and ran like that, one foot deep and one shallow, for fear that the black sand would catch up.

There was a faint terrible howl behind him, it was his companion who had been murdered and was losing his life under the torture of black sand.

But she didn't bother either, not even the idea of looking back.

A woman's heart only has fear, and the desire to live, which occupies almost all of her thoughts.

Escape from the deserted village, the farther away the better.

It was the only thought she had right now.

She also didn't expect that Heisha was already seriously injured, and he could still be so powerful, and she didn't give them a chance to fight back at all.

Click!!

A snow-covered branch was trampled off.

The woman also stopped abruptly at this point.

Her eyes were frightened, as if she wanted to say something, but her head ached, as if she had been hit head-on by some blunt object, and she fell into silent darkness in an instant.

I don't know how long it took, maybe just a moment.

It was as if a cloud of ice and snow was pouring down, and the cold and piercing feeling instantly hit the whole body.

It also made her suddenly sober up from her soullessness, and she looked at a few figures standing in front of her in a trance.

All of them wore gold-trimmed suits on a white background, and they all wore delicate silver tiaras, which shone in the snowy forest and dispelled and illuminated the surrounding darkness.

When one of them saw the woman open her eyes, he turned his head and shouted not far away, "Young Master, she's awake." ”

"What's it called, I don't know if I'm busy, something I can't see."

A gentle and lazy male voice sounded not far away, piercing the darkness of the night and reaching her ears.

Along with this sound, there was also a faint murmur of small fragments, mixed with the wind and snow.

She was a little dazed at first, but after a moment her face suddenly changed, and she began to scream violently and struggle.

The voice was poignant, high-pitched, full of endless fear.

It seems that a demon is coming, and if it falls into the hands of the other party, it is better to be tortured and killed by the black sand just now.

Burst!

A cold light flew out of the dark bushes and sank deep into one of the woman's eyes, silencing all her screams and screams.

The whole person sat limply on the ground, his body still trembling, obviously terrified to the extreme.

Little by little, time passed.

The woods were dark and silent.

Only the sound of small pieces became clearer and clearer, blending into the wind and snow and constantly reverberating.

After a long time, a sigh of satisfaction sounded.

A young man in white walked out of the depths of the jungle, carrying a human skin dripping with blood in his hand, swaying and dancing back and forth with the cold wind.

He came closer, took the flask handed by his subordinate and took a sip, his eyes fell on the middle-aged woman who was sitting motionless in the snow and seemed to have passed out, and a slight expression of excitement and disgust appeared between his eyebrows.

The young man was silent for a long time, and slowly shook his head, "Although I am older, I still have the charm of a, and the beauty of the broken arm with a unique interest has aroused my desire to create again."

Who knew that she was so frightened that she was so incontinent that she got dirty, and she didn't even have the noble spirit of dedicating herself to art, and wasted such a good piece of material in vain. ”

"No, my thinking seems to be a bit incomplete, and it is possible that she deliberately made herself look like this, hoping for a quick death, so as not to become the material for my creation, so as not to endure more unbearable pain."

"In this case, I can't go against her wishes, I must let her keep wailing in pain, to deeply understand the truth of this world, so that the most brilliant fireworks can burst out and illuminate the dark road ahead."

His voice grew louder and louder, and his tone and expression became more and more frenzied, completely devoid of the gentleness and calm that he had just walked out of the woods.

At this moment, a white-robed man bowed, "Young Master, my subordinates observe her situation, it seems that she has just gone through a fight not long ago. ”

"Huh!?"

"What do you mean?"

"Dare to interrupt my thoughts and block my yearning for a better life, do you want to be with her, be carefully carved by me little by little, and experience the reality of the world through pain?"

Boom!

The white-robed man's throat swelled, and his face instantly turned pale.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his breathing, "My subordinates don't have this intention, and they definitely don't dare to disturb the young master's cultivation."

What the subordinates just wanted to say was that this woman seemed to be the so-called white wolf among the four wolves of Xiaoshan, and she was born with an extremely keen sense of smell, and she appeared here at this time, and she just fought with someone, and it was very likely that she had found the traces of the black sand old monster......"

"Miss Qiu's nirvana order, take the head of the black sand item, and get the opportunity to enter the spiritual spring to participate in enlightenment and practice."

The young man seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, and suddenly regained his gentle and calm tone, "You mean, there is a good chance that Heisha is nearby, and he just fought with her?" ”

The subordinate nodded and smiled, "What the young master said is extremely true, if you can find the whereabouts of the black sand, the chance to enter the spiritual spring is none other than the young master." ”

The young man closed his eyes, and when he spoke again, his voice suddenly became softer.

"Lingquan is certainly very attractive to me, but rather than entering the meditation practice, I actually want to get Miss Qiu's body, and use her incomparable talent to carve the most perfect work, maybe I can go deeper into the truth of this world."
