15. Beast Heart

Tao Hui and Liu Xingrong came to a house, the old man looked around, and found that no one had found the key from the money bag in his arms to open the door, and then the thief looked left and right, and then carefully closed the door.

The peach coat emblem couldn't cry or laugh, the old man originally looked like a fairy wind and bones, but suddenly changed his obscene style, and suddenly looked nondescript.

"Old man, why are we in such a hurry?"

The old man lay on the floor of the hall, raised his buttocks, lowered his head, and tapped the floor tiles while listening attentively, as if he was looking for something.

"You and I were involved in strange things, and we escaped from the hands of that monster. Thinking that the Black Prison Division will not let you and me go, the eyes of the patrol soldier just now are wandering, a little greedy and a little afraid, it must be ill-intentioned. Perhaps he was just worried about the strength of the person wanted by the Black Prison Division, so he left in a hurry. ”

After a while, Liu Xingrong found a package from under a piece of green brick on the ground, and the old man spread out the burden, and the golden light suddenly dazzled.

The peach coat emblem looked at the bulging bag of gold and silver in front of him and admired it.

"Old man, this is a lot of money, right?"

"Isn't this nothing?" the old man's face was smug and seemed to be full of interest, "The old man has nothing else to do in his life, but he has earned a lot of silver taels"

The peach coat emblem is yearning and very curious.

"Ah!?old man, how did you make so much money?"

"It's nothing more than setting up a stall to tell fortunes, look at people's faces, and eliminate disasters and disasters. ”

Liu Xingrong smiled lightly and put the burden full of gold and silver on his shoulders.

"Could it be that the old man knows some Qimen Dunjia techniques?"

"What is this Qimen Dunjia, the old man has never heard of it, the old man looks at the face, and has always been based on figuring out people's hearts and observing words and colors. ”

Seeing that the cleaning was almost done, the old man looked around the room carefully, as if looking for something missing.

The peach coat emblem was at a loss.

"Where are we going?"

"The sky is big, the earth is big, and the four seas are home!" the old man shook his head, and then said, "Little friend, I don't know who you are?"

Peach Hui was stunned when he heard this, where is the person?

Could it be that it was brought to ancient times by a strange jade pendant, and it traveled from modern times?

The peach coat emblem just waved his hand and said with a wry smile.

"I'm alone right now, and I don't know where to go. ”

"What about your parents?"

"My parents haven't seen each other since I was a kid. It has always been taken in by the master, and he has long since returned to heaven. ”

Liu Xingrong couldn't help but sigh when he heard it.

"Unexpectedly, Xiaoyou is also a hard-working person. ”

"That's not the case, my master said that when people die, they come from and where they go back. ”

"In this way, your master is free and easy. ”

Speaking of this, he stared at the young man in front of him, this young man was extremely talented, and he was resolute and open-minded by nature! Just like his best friend came back from the dead, exactly the same old friend! And this young man inherited his best friend's mastery, got a great opportunity, and was regarded as a descendant of his best friend, the more he looked at this young man, the happier he became, his heart turned, and he said half-jokingly:

"It's better for a little friend to travel through the mountains and rivers with the old man. ”

Who knows, that young man actually yearns for it!

Peach coat emblem said in surprise.

"I think it's good......"

"You and I, if you go out of the city, you still need to dress up!" The old man suddenly spoke, as if he thought of something, he rummaged through the cabinets in the house again, and half-rang He walked out of the inner room and handed him something like the peach coat emblem: "This thing happened to be collected by me, and it happened to be used this time!"

The peach coat emblem curiously took the item handed over by the old man, this strange item was as light as a feather, and it was extremely smooth to handle.

She hurriedly spread out her eyes and saw that this thing was actually a human face, with eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, and even ink moles all imitated it. Gently unfolded, lifelike, vivid and vivid, as if she was cut alive from under the living person, she was afraid, panicked, and threw out the human skin in her hand!

"Human skin?"

As if seeing that the peach coat emblem was at a loss, Liu Xingrong picked up the human skin mask from the ground on the side, dusted off the dust on the human skin mask, and looked calm, as if nothing happened.

"This thing is not a human skin. It was obtained by chance under the coincidence of my travels. It is said that it is the Great Qi Palace, made by skilled craftsmen, and it is the best to hide your identity and hide people's eyes!"

The peach coat emblem is suspicious.

"It's really not human skin. ”

"This thing is made of a strange demon fur! it is definitely not made of human skin!"

The old man waved his hand again and again, shaking his head vigorously.

"Really?"

"Sure enough!"

"But how do demons grow human skin?"

"Demons like to eat flesh and blood, and like to imitate ordinary people, this is not unusual!" the old man smiled heroically, as if he meant something, "But what is strange is that some people have a demon heart, that is really terrible, the so-called human face and beast heart, it is impossible to prevent it." ”

"Human face.... Beast Heart...."The peach coat emblem muttered, literally, a person with the heart of a beast. But what does this mean?

She suddenly thought of the soldier in Tsing Yi who sold prisoners to make money in the dim and gloomy black prison, the middle-aged man with a miserable face who was tragically killed, and she thought of the shopkeeper who had seen Qian Eye open and became more powerful, and the handsome scholar who came out to buy things and was almost pulled by the soldiers to act as a bandit and received a reward.

"Sure enough, it's a human-faced beast heart!"

The old man's eyes showed admiration.

"People's hearts are unpredictable, and they have always been like this!"

The peach coat emblem's face darkened, and he suddenly spoke.

"Old man, when are we leaving?"

The old man fell into thought, as if he had no intention. But his expression was deeply convinced, and he groaned slowly

"This Qingzhou Yin opens the city gate at all times...".

"Old man, shall we leave tomorrow?"

"It's not proper," the old man shook his head repeatedly, "I'm afraid that the night is long and I have a lot of dreams." ”

"Shall we go now, then?"

The old man still shook his head, groaning slightly, and his eyes were shining.

"It's still a little wrong, it's daylight at this time, and it's noisy. This human skin mask has never been tried since it was obtained, for fear that the patrol soldiers will see the clue and fall into the hands of the Black Prison Division, and you and I may suffer accidents!"

Tao Hui frowned slightly, thinking carefully about what Liu Xingrong said in her mind, she pondered it repeatedly, chewed back and forth, and thought carefully. Immediately, she felt that the old man was indeed experienced, and when considering the problem, he was not only cautious and subtle, but also thoughtful, and she nodded slightly.

"Old man, in your opinion, when are we going to leave the city?"

"This Qingzhou has always closed the city gate at three moments. In that case, you and I hurried out of the city before the third quarter of the hour. Presumably, at this time, the soldiers defending the city were tired from a day's work, and they were already sleepy and tired, and they were hungry. It will no longer be as harsh as it was at the beginning, and you and I will be careful. ”

.....

The sun is setting, and the twilight is dusk.

On the top of Qingzhou City, a team of soldiers was still full of armor, ready for battle, patrolling back and forth between the towering city towers in an orderly manner.

The two scholars, standing side by side at the notice in the distance of the city gate, looked intently at the notice on the top that no one cared about. A notice with red letters on white paper, covered with the official seal, was blown by the breeze!

On the arrest portrait, an old man is immortal and dignified. On another portrait, a young man is depicted, and the young man's face seems to have some smudges, but the peach blossom eyes that have brought disaster to the country and the people are extremely expressive.

The old scholar who stood to watch the announcement had a bitter gourd face, a strange gourd on his back, a gray beard, and a green shirt. It's like studying hard for many years, and I am depressed after several exams. A scholar who is full of depression and has a sad face.

On the side, the slightly younger scholar was also dressed in the same way. But his appearance is ordinary, plain, and if it weren't for some shocking scars on his face, I'm afraid he would have fallen into the crowd, and he wouldn't be able to think of that again.

"Old man, it's like a god, you look at the painting on it, it's really like it!"

The middle-aged scholar with a sad face suddenly lowered his voice.

"Shhhhh

The two of them set out on the road again, a long road with some stones paved with compacted loess.

The two of them walked on the official road, looking at the city gate from a distance with a group of soldiers, and shouted viciously to some people who entered and exited the city.

"Fucking fast old man!"

"Routine checks, open the basket to labor and management!"

As if seeing the two people coming, the short and fat sergeant sat on a small stool with a big horse golden knife, and suddenly shouted:

"Who's coming?"

The middle-aged scholar with a bitter gourd face hurriedly trotted all the way, with a smile on his face:

"The military master has worked hard!"

The short and fat sergeant fiercely pushed the bitter gourd-faced middle-aged scholar, and his eyebrows were horizontal:

"It's almost as late as it gets, and you two have to go out of the city to do something. ”

"You ......"

The scholar with scars on his face seemed to be angry, and the older scholar hurriedly stopped him.

"It's okay, the military master is just doing routine business. ”

The older scholar groped out some pieces of silver from his chest, and he quietly stuffed them into the sergeant's hand without a trace.

"Master Jun, hard work!"

As soon as the silver two started, the sergeant's attitude suddenly softened, and he arched his hand towards the old scholar, and said, "I don't know where the two of you are going in a hurry?"

"My brother is sick. The old scholar pointed to the scholar with scars on his face beside him, "That blind man Liu from the Holy Hand Medical Hall went to the suburbs today, I'll wait to find him." ”

The sergeant bowed his head, as if in deep thought, and in the middle of it, he suddenly spoke.

"Yes, that Liu Blind Xiangwu did go out of Qingzhou, and it is estimated that he is going to the suburbs to practice medicine and see a doctor. But this brother doesn't look like he's sick, huh?"

"He is just sick on his face, the military master must not approach, then Liu Shengshou said that this disease can also be transmitted. ”

"What?" "Humpty Dumpty, who had been walking towards the scholar's footsteps, was a little farther away, looking up and down, and carefully examining the scholar's face full of sores and scars. I saw that the man's face was uneven, with new scars and old scars, shocking, and the belly of the short and fat sergeant unconsciously turned over the river and the sea, and he was disgusted:

"Let's go, hurry up and give labor and management away!"

"Excuse me, military master!

As soon as the short and fat sergeant urged, the soldiers who were watching fiercely on the side immediately opened the gate and let them go.

It smelled like a kind of evil disease that could be transmitted, and they covered their mouths and noses too much, with a look of disgust, and no one went up to check again.

The two figures walked out of the city, the figures gradually drifted away, swaggering away, the afterglow of the sunset, in the yellow sand of the setting sun, only two black spots were left in the distance.

"Phew, that's disgusting!" the soldiers looked at the two who walked away, "What a bad luck!"
