Chapter 3 Immortals
Zuo Tian always knew that Old Man Li was not an ordinary old man.
This stems from his innate sense of danger.
He could feel that the old man was like a huge furnace, standing beside him as if it could melt at any moment.
Most of the time, though, the old man gave him the feeling of being as warm as the sun.
It's just that at this moment, as his question fell, the momentum on Old Man Li's body changed in vain.
If the sun was about to set in the mountains before, then at this moment, it is like the scorching sun at noon.
Hot, manic, restless, for a moment, these physical or psychological reactions made Zuo Tian uncomfortable, and he gasped.
Turning around, Old Man Li stood quietly in place, his eyes closed, and the expression on his face was even stranger, as if he was caught in some kind of memory.
Just by looking at it like this, Zuo Tian felt that his eyes hurt, and he couldn't help screaming and closing his eyes.
Almost at the same moment, a disgusting smell of blood entered his nose with a fishy stench.
What is it?
Zuo Tian tried his best to open his eyes despite the pain in his eyes, but he saw a scene that caused his pupils to shrink.
I saw that on a hanging animal skin painting, two narrow red rays shone with a strange light, and the disgusting smell of blood came from this animal skin painting.
This is?!
Before he could react, through the animal skin, the red light rose sharply, almost a breath, filling the entire room.
Zuo Tian couldn't help but stinging again and closed his eyes.
"Whew, whew!"
The sound of heavy breathing came from his ears, like the gasp of some huge beast, and the gasp that came with the breath seemed to be sprayed on his neck, there was no itching sensation, Zuo Tian only felt a creep.
"Ahh
He let out another shout, and tried to open his eyes, but nothing terrible had happened, and there was still the red glow that could not be seen in his reach, and his nose was filled with a thick smell of blood.
Just as Zuo Tian breathed a sigh of relief, a tempting voice revealed an erosive whisper in his mind and penetrated into his soul.
There was a moment of loss in his eyes, but he woke up in an instant.
"Huh?"
A puzzled voice came from the red rays, as if it was a little surprising that an ordinary human could wake up so quickly under its magical powers.
It's just that before I have time to think about it, the red light that shrouded the room dissipates in an instant.
"Ahh
Zuo Tian exclaimed, his voice was full of fear, and his body trembled involuntarily.
But I saw a beast with blood stains that seemed to be magnified countless times over its claws covering the entire room, and it had black scales on it, and the disgusting smell of blood emanated from the drops of blood falling from the scales.
The claws were in a half-clenched fist posture, and he and Old Man Li were in the claws!
It seems that in the next second, as long as the claws are lightly shaken, they will die on the spot!
The fear of death was like a giant hammer smashed into Zuo Tian's chest, his body tensed, and his eyes were glazed to stand in place.
"Roar!"
Another roar that pierced through the eardrums and penetrated deep into the soul.
The whole thatched house exploded with a bang, and dust fluttered along with the straw.
A stick struck at Zuotian, only to be stopped by the giant claw.
The clanging sound of gold and iron colliding, and the appearance of the wooden stick scattered into sawdust flying in the space, made Zuo Tian discourage the desire to attack the claws and flee from here.
"This ......"
Zuo Tian was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he wanted to lift his legs, but his legs were as heavy as lead.
The claws began to tighten little by little, as if something was blocking its grip, but in Zuo Tian's eyes, there was obviously nothing in front of him.
"Don't!"
He shouted in horror, turned his head with difficulty, ignored the stinging pain in his eyes, and shouted at Old Man Li: "Grandpa Li!!!
Old man Li still closed his eyes tightly, and his paws did not stop because of his words, but faster.
The price was that the black scales on it shattered in a "click" sound, and the fragments were like sharp hidden weapons that plunged into the bloody claws, and some of them shad off the flesh and skin, revealing the white bones below.
An even stronger smell of blood permeated, and Zuo Tian almost vomited.
Although I have seen hunting teams hunting wild beasts before, they have all watched from afar, when have they seen such bloody scenes.
The claw is like a devil urging his life, Zuo Tian raised his legs several times, but this time his legs seemed to be fixed in place and couldn't move, even his neck was fixed in place.
"Hehe, little doll, don't struggle, even that kid can't escape from my ancestor's natal supernatural powers, you just obediently accept your fate, quack. The voice in the red glow sounded again.
Frightened, desperate, the claws are in front of you.
Seeing that it was about to touch Zuo Tian's body, the nails growing on the claws were black and bright, and in the next second, they could definitely penetrate his skull and string him up, Zuo Tian couldn't help but feel like ashes.
At this critical moment, between the lightning and the fire, a layer of bright white light curtain passed through itself, forming a transparent light mask around Zuo Tian and Old Man Li.
The mask extended, pushing out the giant claw that was about to be held with an irresistible force.
"Ahh
The owner of the paw let out an unwilling roar.
A cold snort sounded in Zuo Tian's ears, but it was the old man Li behind him who woke up in time.
"Damn boy, don't think that you can trap the ancestor in this way, if you want to refine the ancestor, you are delusional!"
Hoarse roars came from all sides.
"Noise. Old man Li snorted coldly again.
I saw him pinch a seal, and a piece of animal skin appeared in the palm of his hand as he flipped it, and his other hand grasped a paintbrush at some point.
The tip of the pen fell on the animal skin, and between a few strokes, a hideous demon beast appeared on the animal skin, and the strange thing is that above this demon beast, there was also a black shadow that seemed to be suspended.
The Nightmare Demon, a monster that feeds on seven emotions and six desires, has no entity of its own, it can create fear, and generally resides on powerful monsters, cooperating with monsters to achieve a win-win relationship.
Zuo Tian's mind involuntarily popped up the information about this monster that Old Man Li had explained to him when he had copied this animal skin painting before.
"Seal me!"
Old man Li's fingers continuously dotted on the animal skin at a speed invisible to Zuo Tian, and a large cloud of black gas came out of the claw outside the light mask.
With an unwilling roar, the claws disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, just as it had arrived.
It all seemed tedious, but it was almost instantaneous from the time Old Man Li took out the animal skin to seal the monster.
"Whew~"
Only then did Old Man Li take a breath.
"I almost broke the seal by taking advantage of my distraction, and I really can't underestimate this group of beasts. ”
"Goo-dong!"
Zuo Tian was also able to act at this moment, he looked at Old Man Li's back in amazement, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Hearing the sound behind him, Old Man Li turned around and looked at Zuo Tian with a smile.
"Grandpa Li, I'm ......"
"Alright, boy, you've seen enough, what do you want to know now?"
Zuo Tian looked at the smile on Old Man Li's face at the moment, but he felt even more terrifying than that claw.
Swallowing a mouthful of non-existent saliva again, Zuo Tian trembled and said, "Grandpa Li, that ...... just now"
His hand gestured, but he didn't know how to describe it.
"Oh, you say it. Old man Li picked up the animal skin in his hand and pointed to the painting on it.
"It's just a little pet"
"Little Pet ......"
Zuo Tian's face twitched, and he could hardly help but scold, your pet is so big.
But he didn't dare, who knows if the old man would paint another painting and imprison him in it.
After all, he is also known as a yokai.
"Grandpa Li, was that an immortal art just now?" Zuo Tian finally calmed down his trembling heart and spoke.
Old man Li smiled mysteriously.
"There are no immortals in this world, and there is no immortal art. ”
As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and something magical happened.
I saw that the thatch that had been scattered by the explosion flew from all directions, and the paint scattered on the ground poured into the dish, and even the wooden stick that had collided with the claws just now appeared intact......
In just a few breaths, a thatched hut stood in place, obscuring the dusky sky.
The old man picked up the animal skin painting in his hand and hung it in its place.
Everything happened too suddenly just now, and Zuo Tian was more often in fear, and only then did he truly experience this kind of magic.
Looking at everything around him without change, he felt as if he was in a dream, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that there would be a youkai with claws as big as a house, and there was an old man who was even more powerful than the monster.
And the hand that Old Man Li showed just now refreshed his cognition of immortals.
It turns out that it is so convenient for the gods to clean up the house.
It's just that this isn't immortality, what else can it be?
Zuo Tian complained in his heart.
No longer entangled in the previous question, he looked at the animal skin paintings all over the room, as if he had thought of something, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly ran out of the room.
"What's wrong?" Old Man Li looked at Zuo Tian with a sigh of urgency.
"Don't continue to draw yours?"
Zuo Tian cursed in his heart, a smile on his face.
"Grandpa Li, you are busy first, and I will come back to paint another day. ”
As soon as he thought of the monsters in the room, Zuo Tian's legs and stomach were trembling now, and he coped with it in his mouth, and ran away into the distance.
Looking at Zuo Tian's departing back, the smile on the old man's face gradually converged, and then his brows gradually furrowed, and he muttered, "Could it be that your heart has also stayed at this age?"
