Chapter 070: The Old Man in the Yellow Shirt (1)
"I didn't have people burn the hole, I just had the temple burn. Qiu Lifeng pulled Bai Luoshang and walked forward, and seemed to be in a very good mood, "We haven't gone out yet, how can I let people set fire here." ”
Bai Luoshang frowned, and cautiously said to himself: "That temple is not too far from here, in case the wind blows this way, the fire can't be controlled, and it burns from that side, wouldn't we set ourselves on fire?"
Qiu Lifeng said confidently: "The fire must not be able to burn." ”
Although Bai Luoshang felt that it was inappropriate, it was not good to say more when he heard Qiu Lifeng's confident words, but he still felt strange, "What are you asking people to set fire to that broken temple?"
"I said that I had to force the culprit out of the scenes. Qiu Lifeng explained, "Only by forcing people out can we really walk out alive and safely." ”
Bai Luoshang was shocked: "You mean to say that there are indeed people hidden in the broken temple"
Qiu Lifeng smiled but did not answer.
Bai Luoshang said uneasily: "The temple is a little broken, but it is still a temple after all, and the eldest prince sent someone to burn it down like this, isn't it good?"
Qiu Lifeng said indifferently: "I have already won the seventh-level floating slaughter by saving your life, and it is not a sin to burn a temple, not to mention that the temple is still haunted, and many people have died, it is an unknown place." Burning it will benefit the people and eliminate harm for the people. ”
That seems to be the right thing to say.
Bai Luoshang nodded slightly, still a little worried, "The eldest prince looks like he is confident, are you really not worried at all?"
Qiu Lifeng smiled: "Since I can take this road, it will definitely not be a dead end." ”
Bai Luoshang was skeptical about this, "There are too many accidents and surprises in everything, even if the eldest prince leaves a way out for himself, there are times when it is uncontrollable." ”
Qiu Lifeng's eyebrows were lightly raised, his eyes were like rain, and he said proudly: "I have eliminated all the people and things that are in the way of the eyes in advance." ”
Bai Luoshang felt a chill on his back for no reason. He thought that he was already a hard-hearted person, but when he met this hard-hearted person who was even harder than him, he was a little timid in his heart. sighed in his heart, fortunately, for Qiu Lifeng, he was not an "eyesore".
Qiu Lifeng pulled Bai Luoshang and walked forward for a while, he could feel the flow of air getting faster and faster, and he was getting closer and closer to the exit.
Bai Luoshang still can't see anything, which makes his heart more and more worried, there is no doubt that there is really something wrong with his eyes, but what is it that makes his eyes unable to see things?
Was it because of the miasma in the corpse cave, or because he was unknowingly poisoned, or because he hit his head when he fell from above, which hurt his eyes.
However, it is clear that the result, whatever the cause, is bad.
"What about the kid?" Bai Luoshang suddenly grabbed Qiu Lifeng and said anxiously, "Didn't you follow?"
It was only a few words before he paid attention to it, and the child disappeared behind Bai Luosheng. Bai Luoshang didn't know when the person who was holding his sleeve tightly let go.
"Ran. Qiu Lifeng replied coldly, "We are walking so slowly, and he is not blind, if he didn't run by himself, how could he be lost."
Bai Luoshang was surprised and said, "When did you run?" I didn't even notice it. ”
Qiu Lifeng smiled: "Aren't you also unaware of his appearance?"
Bai Luoshang said strangely: "Since you know that he ran away, why don't you chase him?"
"Why are you chasing?" Qiu Lifeng laughed, "You don't have to chase at all." ”
Bai Luoshang was puzzled: "Why?"
Qiu Lifeng asked him rhetorically, "Don't you think it's strange?"
Bai Luoshang was silent for a moment before she lowered her voice and said, "What's strange?"
Qiu Lifeng said: "An eight-year-old child, his father died ten years ago, and you are not surprised by this sentence, can it be said that his mother was pregnant with him for two years before he was born"
"Indeed...... Maybe he's lying. Bai Luoshang said, "It is not surprising that children have many eyes. ”
"It's not weird. Qiu Lifeng glared, "This little ghost is from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, there is nothing that is not strange, don't say that you don't doubt it at all."
Bai Luoshang hesitated: "It's a little strange, but it's ......"
"Alright. Qiu Lifeng interrupted Bai Luoshang's words, "It's already out." ”
“......”
The smell of rot in the air has faded a lot, and the wind is blowing strongly.
They had indeed come out of the burrow.
The sky is not yet bright, and the night breeze is slow, cold as ice water, blowing the barren grass in the ground.
The night wind shuttled unscrupulously through the dense forest, blowing the dense leaves, and the shadows of the trees seemed to turn into ghostly figures, and the sound of the wind seemed to turn into ghostly roars.
Bai Luoshang listened attentively, and could faintly hear the sound of the fire burning, and couldn't help but feel a burst of shock, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "We are in the south of the City God Temple......? Still burning?"
As soon as he got out of the corpse cave, his sense of direction improved.
Qiu Lifeng observed the situation vigilantly and did not answer.
The fire in the temple has almost been extinguished, but there are many ghost fires flickering around, flickering and darkening, which is very terrifying.
"The eldest prince?" Bai Luoshang couldn't help but push Qiu Lifeng, who was still with his hand, and said strangely: "Why don't we leave again?"
"We are under siege. Qiu Lifeng sneered, "It's just a mantis arm as a car, and I can't do anything about myself." ”
His pupils, in the dim light, shone with a silver glow, as cunning as a beast hunted at night. The fierce and bloodthirsty eyes were more terrifying than those fluttering ghost fires.
Bai Luoshang was surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "We are trapped, what's the situation?"
Qiu Lifeng took out a small bottle and put back the Gu worm that led the way.
After a while, a man's voice came from not far away: "You dare to set fire to my City God Temple, you don't want to live." ”
Bai Luosheng's eyebrows jumped, and he immediately turned around, but because of his eyes, he couldn't see anything, not only couldn't he see, but he couldn't even feel the breath of the other party, but there was indeed someone there, a man. Listening to the voice, it seems to be in its prime, although the tone is threatening, but the tone also sounds with vicissitudes and aging.
"It's a wasted effort. Qiu Lifeng said disdainfully, "Do you think that if you can trap me for a while, you can trap me for a lifetime?"
"Yes, these fires can't trap you. The old man's voice said, "Since you can walk out of the 'Nothingness Illusion World', you must not take these gadgets seriously." ”
Qiu Lifeng sneered: "Since you also know that these things are just gadgets, and you dare to speak out, I think you don't only have these little tricks in your hands." ”
Bai Luoshang listened silently, thinking that the old man must be the "person behind the scenes" that Qiu Lifeng said, it was this person who used the "Nothingless Illusory World" to harm him and almost lost his life in the corpse cave. If it weren't for the sudden blindness of his eyes, he really wanted to see what this person really looked like, and he would actually use that evil illusion.
The old man came out of the shadows, with a face covered with deep lines, weather-beaten, cloudy eyes, and a bald head with a few strands of hair wrapped around it, and a messy drape over his scalp. He was dressed in coarse ragged clothes and had a cigarette pouch hanging from his waist.
It was a very weak person at first glance, but Qiu Lifeng didn't dare to be vigilant at all, and stared at the old man tightly, as if the old man would turn into a snake and a tiger at any time.
For the man looked old, but his steps were strong and powerful, and he did not look at all like a frail old man.
The old man walked slowly in front of Qiu Lifeng, and after carefully looking at Qiu Lifeng, he smiled and said: "The people of the Qiu family in Fuxian Villa are really outstanding and talented. ”
"Does he know you?" Bai Luoshang was dumbfounded when he heard this, he never expected that someone who knew Qiu Lifeng would suddenly appear, or someone who sounded like a weather-beaten old man.
Who is this person? How did he appear here? And why did he know about Fuxian Villa? Could it be that Qiu Lifeng also knew this person?
The more Bai Luoshang thought about it, the more unbelievable she felt, and in the end she could only fuss and ask Qiu Lifeng: "How could he know you?"
Qiu Lifeng replied unhurriedly: "What he knows is this Xiao of mine." ”
"Dementor Xiao?" Bai Luoshang was even more surprised, he had seen that Xiao countless times, but he never felt that Xiao was anything special, the appearance was ordinary and unpretentious, it really couldn't be believed that it was the Dementor Xiao just by seeing it, "Could it be that when you used this Xiao in the corpse cave just now, he heard it?"
"Probably. Qiu Lifeng looked at the old man's eyes with a chill, "However, I think he recognized me the first time he saw me." ”
Bai Luoshang didn't quite understand, when did she see this so-called first sight?
"Yesterday afternoon, when I followed Forgetfulness here, I guess by then, he had already spotted me. Qiu Lifeng explained, "It was also at that time that I already recognized who I was. ”
"Just looking at it from afar?" Bai Luoshang said in shock, "How could he be sure that this is the Dementor Xiao?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to ask him about this. Qiu Lifeng snorted coldly, looked at the old man, and said coldly: "If he hadn't recognized my identity at a glance, he wouldn't have attacked us with those green vines." ”
Bai Luosheng's eyes widened in surprise and asked loudly, "You mean, those green vines?"
Qiu Lifeng nodded and said, "It's for me." ”
Bai Luoshang only felt frightened, no wonder the two times he was attacked, the target of the green vine was Qiu Lifeng, it turned out that he was really coming at him, "But, why did he do it to you? Is it because you are from Fuxian Villa? Or is it because of Xiao in your hand?"
The old man suddenly laughed, "I have no grievances with the people of Fuxian Villa, so naturally I won't hurt anyone, that Xiao is just a Xiao to me, how can I harm people because of it." ”
Bai Luoshang wrinkled her eyebrows and said unhappily: "Since it has nothing to do with people and things, why do you want to do it?"
"Because of the purpose of his trip. The old man sighed, "If he hadn't brought so many people to this place himself, maybe I would still be a dead man by now, and it has nothing to do with me whether you go or stay." ”
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, it's not by accident that you're going to see that mass grave that hasn't been found yet, and that you're going to fall into a dead ghost cave, it's because of him. The old man pointed at Qiu Lifeng and said, "Because he wants to use you to lure me out." ”
