The man was tall, but thin, and was supported entirely by a skeleton, with a slightly curved spine and a neck that poked forward, with a kind wrinkle. He seemed tired, walked for a while, and took a long breath. He carried a Zen staff in his right hand and five red orbs tied around his wrists, which were strung with dragon tendons. Aside from the orb, this fire dragon tendon alone is worth a lot of money.

A black bell is tied to the Zen stick, "Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell", and the sound is from far and near, leaving a line of footprints in the snow. There were only a few strands of hair and beard left, and he twisted his beard with his hands, and dropped one or two.

He smiled bitterly at his beard, "When you are all gone, I will go with you." With his hands outstretched, those whiskers fluttered in the wind.

The old man was dressed in a single coat and barefoot, and the wind and snow here posed no threat to him. He looked up at the stars, found Sirius, told the bearings, and let out a breath of white air and continued on his way.

The wolves had spotted him, and they all pricked up their ears and stared in the direction of the old man with wide eyes. The old man did not change his route, and walked a little further before stopping. Put your hands folded and put them to your mouth, and raise your head to the sky, letting out a whining wolf howl. The voice was rich and kind, like the sound of nature.

When the snow wolves heard his call, they got up and ran towards the old man. They formed a circle and sat on the ground, surrounding the old man in the center of the circle, looking at him curiously.

The old man beckoned, and the charged snow wolf walked up to him. The snow wolf sniffed him with the tip of his nose, circled him a few times with his tail down, and then prostrate on the ground, bringing up a few snowflakes.

The old man's hand put on the top of the snow wolf's head, stroked it gently for a while, and said softly: "It's been more than a hundred years. It's still the same here, the old dragon is gone. He bowed his head and smiled at the snow wolf, "You lead the way in front, and I will go to meet your leader." ”

The snow wolf led the way, and the rest of the wolves dodged to both sides......

When the wolf king opened his eyes again, he saw a pair of long white eyebrows, a kind face, and a smiling mouth, and only one front tooth left in the cracked mouth.

The wolf king rolled over and took a few quick steps back against the wall, surprised in his heart: how did he get in? Didn't my men stop him? Or has he already poisoned him? No, this old man doesn't look like a bad guy, there is no murderous aura on his body, and there is no smell of blood in the air. Could he be invisible? But the smell doesn't hide.

What did he want to do here? Who the hell is he? A series of questions set off a storm in the wolf king's heart.

At this time, the kind old man smiled and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The wolf king pricked up his pointed ears and stared at the old man gloomily, thinking: Can he talk to me? I'll ask him first. Tentatively, he said, "Can you understand me?" ”

The old man smiled and nodded.

"My name is China." It involuntarily uttered its name. After saying that, China wondered in his heart: Why can't I be on guard in front of him?

It felt from the bottom of its heart that this old man had no malice, and not only that, but a kind of closeness actually rose in the bottom of China's heart, as if facing an old friend who had not seen him for many years, and could not kill him. This is a feeling that it has never had in its life, and China is like a demon, wanting to get close to this old man.

"The last time I came, you wolves hadn't been born yet. At that time there was a heroic snow wolf named Sky, and it helped me. The old man pointed outside and asked, "What are the names of the six little wolves outside?" ”

China straightened her mood and said quietly, "The sky is our ancestor, it died a long time ago, and I haven't seen it. The snow wolves outside are my right-hand men, the electrified is the thunder, the sand is followed by it, the most insidious is the fierce night, the most tenacious ivory, the coldest is the avalanche, and the fastest is the aurora. ”

After saying that, China stared firmly at the old man with two bronze bell-sized eyes.

I saw the old man sitting cross-legged, his upper body was rickety, and a Zen staff was placed horizontally on his knees, and a black bell was tied to the Zen staff. On his left wrist was five red orbs, the fifth of which had golden light flowing on it. The gold robe was very old, with some oil stains on the collar and unsightly trousers on the ankles.

The old man smiled, "Don't stare at me like this, I know what you're thinking." My name is Beiguang, and I am from all nations, and I have come for you. I have been traveling the world for many years, and I have a fixed place to live, but I don't go back often. I've heard that you've killed a lot of people. The owner here is an old acquaintance of mine, and it seems that he died in your mouth. ”

"You came to avenge them?" Chi Na narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I did covet the flesh and blood of the old dragon and killed it. This is the law of nature, the law of the jungle. If it's weak, it's going to be my. Those humans died innocently, and now, there are only six snow wolves left outside in the whole world, plus me, a total of seven. I searched the entire Far North Ice Field, starting from here and back again, and found less than ten snow wolves in total. I've gathered all the Icewolves, and their Snow Wolf leader. Now the members of my wolf clan are dying away, thanks to you humans. As she spoke, China bared her crimson fangs, as if she was about to pounce on her next moment to tear Beiguang apart.

Beiguang raised his hand to signal that it was not impatient, and said with a smile: "I am not here to avenge them. The old dragon is treacherous and wicked, and has made a covenant with me, and if I live, it will not come out to do trouble. In the early years, it was fine, but in recent years, my body has deteriorated day by day, and it is a little ready to move. It's too simple, in this world, there are more people than me, even if I die, it doesn't want to be willful. ”

He looked at China deeply, as if to remind it, and then said, "Now that it has died in your mouth, you can count it as a removal of a harm for the world." I shouldn't have taken care of your grievances with the wolf hunters, and it makes sense for you to take revenge. Since ancient times, it has been an immutable law. But the sin in you is too heavy. Your appearance has wiped out dozens of large and small legions here, and seriously affected the balance between the northern tribes. In the early years, when I was far away, I saw a bad omen in the north, and I knew that there was a demon born in response to the catastrophe, and now it seems that it must be you. If you live, you will surely cause great chaos in the world, and rivers of blood will flow, and I will send my disciples to punish you. However, my disciple was not good at learning and almost lost his life. This time, I had to come in person. ”

Beiguang smiled slightly, and said, "I have been hiding in the dark to observe you for a long time, and I found something interesting. The first day of every month is when you are at your weakest. And today, it happens to be the first day of the new year. ”

"Despicable villain." China said hatefully.

Beiguang laughed and said, "Alas, I am old and do not have the impulses of my youth. If I were a hundred years younger, maybe I'd have a fair fight with you. ”

"Not necessarily." China interrupted him, "I know that even in my prime, I am no match for you. I don't want to die, though. Anna leaped to the side of the ballista, and the wolf's paw caught up with the ballista's mechanism.

Beiguang's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, and he smiled: "You are different from your ancestors, you are more shrewd, more treacherous, and more able to use your advantages. Your wisdom has gone beyond the scope of the snow wolf, I once thought it was because you had eaten dipterocarp, but even a wolf who has eaten dipterocarp will not be as shrewd as you. If you press the trap, this crossbow is bound to hit, and I can't avoid it. Such an ingenious calculation is not something that a wolf that has eaten dipteroscope can come up with. I'd like to hear your story and tell it to me. ”

Anna stared at the north light with a gloomy gaze and asked, "Why should I tell a story to the dead?" Don't think that if you praise me, I'll let you go. ”

Beiguang Zhengse said: "Because you are different, because only I can see that you are different." If I don't be your listener, I'm afraid no one in the world will understand you. ”

"Hmph" the tip of China's nose spewed out a cloud of white gas and said, "Don't come and bewitch me." ”

The words did not fall, only a soft click was heard. Then a ballista with a tail flame spewed towards the north light. China is full of confidence, this thing is a ballista that has killed the old dragon, and the dragons are all dead, not to mention an old man who is weak and can't help it. The corners of China's mouth hooked up a confident smile, and her head was raised, as if she had seen the scene of Beiguang being bombed into pulp.

After the loud bang, a black pit was left on the ground, and the power of the ballista shook the entire ice cavern.

China sneered, her eyes narrowed into a line, and she stuck out her tongue and licked her nose.

While it is proud of its masterpiece, it can't help but feel a little pity. Since it came into this world, it has never spoken to humans.

Now, a kind old man came and claimed to be a friend of his ancestors, and he took the initiative to listen to its story, and a sense of closeness arose in China's heart. However, it knew that if this old man did not die, most of the people who would die in a while would be themselves.

Feeling some ice crystals falling from the top of his head, Chi Na thought to himself: This ballista is too powerful, and if you come a few more times, I'm afraid this ice cave will be wasted, and it is better to use it less in the future.

China shook off the ice crystals on his body, calmly took a few steps forward, and sighed: "Old man Beiguang, don't blame me, if I don't do this, I will be the one with no bones left now." ”

Just as China was about to call the wolves to fill the hole, its head suddenly sank, only to feel a weight pressed on it, and China's proud head couldn't help but lower, and its front legs bent, and it fell to the ground with a thud.

A slightly smiling voice sounded above its head: "Don't be too proud, you mischievous little wolf. Don't you know that you have to be cautious in the face of a strong enemy? ”

"Impossible! You've been hit head-on by me, and there's no way you're going to escape. China screamed as she struggled.

The ballista, which it regarded as a life-saving artifact, did not cause the slightest damage to Beiguang. And the north light on his head didn't seem to use much strength, as if he was just using his own weight to imprison Chi Na so that he couldn't move at all.

Beiguang sat on China's neck on his knees, pressed his head with one hand, and laughed: "You are too tender, I have no strength at all, you can't move." ”

China snorted and closed his eyes, which was like closing his eyes and waiting for death. Beiguang smiled slightly, got down from its neck, and sat down in front of it. Chinafang opened his eyes.

Beiguang asked, "Are you convinced?" ”

China snorted twice and said angrily, "If it weren't for the wound on my claw, today would be my weakest day. Even if I can't beat you, it's okay to run for your life. ”

Chi Na said this, but he knew in his heart that the strength of Beiguang was profound, and it was extremely unstoppable. Don't say run away, it's hard to say whether you can block him from attacking once.

Beiguang thought to himself: This wolf is not an extraordinary species, although it kills people like hemp, but it is also excusable, after all, the wolf hunters want to destroy its race. The people of the steppe were in awe of the snow wolf, but they did not hate it, but the wolf hunters described it as a demon. After all, it has a different position from the human race, and under the threat of extinction, it naturally has to rise up and resist. I see that although this wolf is fierce, his heart is still clean, and his wisdom is like that of a human. It's just that if you are too proud, you will inevitably suffer setbacks in the future, and I am afraid that you will collapse when the time comes. If it is domesticated, let them understand the difference between good and evil, the difference between good and evil, so that they can understand what is the right way. Given my unique skills, it may not be able to become a strong man who protects one side. It is much more valuable for me to use a plan to capture and indulge it, and then to influence it so that it is pleasing to the heart, than to kill it.

Beiguang made up his mind, so he got up and said: "When you and I meet, it is fate." Since there is fate, I will not kill you for the time being, and give you a chance to live. ”

"Tell me about it." China snorted.
