Chapter 328: Rainy Night

Kuroki Castle is some distance from the border of Lanzhou, and the Tianyin Mountain Range in Yinzhou is also a long way from the border, so the weather in these two places basically does not affect each other. The people in Xilu City under Tianyin Mountain look up almost all the year round to see a hazy sky, it is difficult to see a sunny day, and the weather here in Kuroki City is much more lively, cloudy, rainy and sunny days are staged in turn.

On this day, it was a cloudy day in Kuroki City, and somehow, it actually looked a bit like the weather under the distant Tianyin Mountain.

The night was a little overcast, the sky was cloudy, and the cold wind blew through the trees of the nearby house, making a disturbing low commotion. Inside and outside the courtyard, far and near, every household closes its doors and turns off the lights, which is the dead of night.

The masked man put his hands behind his back, Shi Shiran stood in the courtyard, looking at Shen Tai and Xiao Qi in the hall with interest through a wall with a big hole, as if he didn't have any surprise and vigilance at the two people who suddenly appeared here, and he didn't even rush to ask their identities or intentions, but more of a condescending curiosity.

He looked at Xiao Qi for a moment, and said, "I don't know him," and then his gaze skipped over Xiao Qi, but he stretched out his finger and pointed at the Humpty Dumpty man sitting on the stool in the hall, and said, "But I see that you are a little familiar." ”

His voice was a little old, and he sounded like he was not too young, but when he stood in the dark courtyard, he seemed to have a faint light on his body, and naturally he had a feeling of being on top.

Shen Tai was also staring at the masked man, and since he appeared, he had been staring at the figure, watching in silence. The reflection of the candle flame was two flames, burning in one of his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, and then said calmly:

"You're masked, but I still recognize you. ”

"Oh?" The masked man seemed to be interested, looking at Shen Tai, the light in his two eyes gradually brightened, and it became a little sharper, and he took a step forward and said, "So, we are still old acquaintances, but the old man is old, and he can't think of you all of a sudden, I wonder if Your Excellency can tell me your name?"

He seemed to be just taking a casual step forward, but suddenly, the night breeze in this courtyard suddenly became so rapid that it even let out a sharp whistling sound. The sky was getting darker and darker, and the clouds were getting thicker and thicker, like the dullness before the mountain rain was about to come, as if an explosion was brewing in silence.

There was a distance and a wall, but the masked old man seemed to just take a casual step forward, and the temperature in this hall suddenly seemed to cool down instantly, and the cold wind outside seemed to blow in here. But at this time, Xiao Qi, who had been standing silently beside Shen Tai, suddenly snorted coldly, but he took a step from the side and stood in front of Shen Tai.

The howling cold wind suddenly stopped at the broken mouth of the cave, like a running beast crashing into the city wall in an instant, making a dull sound in the seemingly void air, and then turning into nothingness.

"Boom", a crisp sound sounded, but the wall shook twice, and suddenly there were seven or eight more clear cracks in the wall.

The masked old man standing in the courtyard glanced at Xiao Qi and seemed to be slightly surprised, but this situation obviously did not make him seem afraid, he even chuckled, looked at Xiao Qi and said, "The young man is good." ”

Xiao Qi glanced at him coldly, silent, his eyes were as cold as ice, like a fierce beast coveting, and the killing intent was awe-inspiring.

Like a wolf and a tiger.

※※※

No one likes to be stared at like this, not even a figure of identity and Taoism like a masked old man. He was condescending like an old cat playing with mice, but he didn't expect these rats to be fearless, but they meant to hurt people.

He was a high-ranking figure for many years, and he experienced a great setback many years ago, and since then his heart has changed greatly, and his temperament has actually become fierce and impatient, and he looks normal on weekdays, but he is depressed like a crazy demon in private, so he has all kinds of unbelievable quirks.

At this moment, he was stared at by this Xiao Qi's undisguised fierce gaze, and the masked old man was also angry in an instant, and he glared coldly, and his body instantly exuded a strong murderous aura, almost as if the essence was rushing to his face, and he was about to do it.

At this moment, a crisp birdsong was heard from the sky above this courtyard, and a brightly colored bird pierced through the clouds, circled and rushed down, flapping its wings and flying over the courtyard. The cold wind blew, and suddenly a few drops of cold water dripped down.

In the middle of the night, it was quietly raining.

The rain was still light, and it had not even fallen on the head of the masked old man and disappeared without a trace, in the hall, Shen Tai slowly stood up, and suddenly spoke:

"West Lucheng, the first floor of the sky. ”

The masked old man's body shook suddenly, and then Huo Ran turned around, and his attention suddenly shifted from Xiao Qi to Shen Tai, his two eyes were shining, and after a while, he only heard the sound of "sizzle", which came out from under his masked cloth, as if he was gritting his teeth, word by word:

"It turned out to be you rebellious brute......"

I don't know when it started, Shen Tai's hand suddenly had an ancient glass mirror, but it looked like the realm was blurry, I don't know if it was too old to be used. Shen Tai seemed to cherish this clumsy and shabby mirror very much, gently stroked and played with it with both hands, and then looked up at the masked old man, and said with a smile:

"Your old man is high, where do you have the heart to remember me, a little person like an ant, unlike me, I have a very good memory. Even if you change your clothes and cover your face, just by looking at your eyes, you will recognize it at first sight. ”

The masked old man sneered and said, "The fish that slipped through the net in the past still dare to show up today, are you impatient?" As he spoke, he suddenly flashed a glint in his eyes, but he was dumbfounded, and said, "Little clown, get out of the old man!"

As if in response to his thunderous shout, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the depths of the clouds, the wind was sudden, and the raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky, swishing like silk threads falling from the sky, permeating the heavens and the earth.

One after another, dark shadows loomed in the dark corners of this courtyard, like ghosts, and seemed to be the same as Xiao Qi, as if they were beasts lurking in the darkness, with hunger, thirst and murderous intent, looking coldly at the masked old man who was surging in the wind and rain.

However, the masked old man's eyes were contemptuous, and he looked at those black shadows coldly, like a tiger staring at them with disdain, and finally only fell on Shen Tai, as if he recalled some great pain at that moment, his eyes turned red in an instant, and his body twisted and wanted to make a move, wanting to break the corpse of this beast that had been cursed and hated countless times.

Monk Yuan Dan struck angrily, who dared to despise it, even that Xiao Qi's face showed a bit of solemnity, and those shadows around him were ready to move instantly.

It's just that at this time, Shen Tai, who was standing in the hall, lightly touched the old glass mirror in his hand, and suddenly said lightly, "Do you want to know who wanted to harm you back then?"

The masked old man's body slumped and regained his footing.

The sound of "whoosh" sounded in this courtyard, and it was the rain that fell, splashing dark splashes.
