readx; What's going on? Am I dreaming or is it really happening? What about the old man? Why did he hurt me like this? I have no grievances with him?
Almost at the same moment, the horned demons all stopped moving, as if disturbed by the visitors from outside the sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Then, a long, cold thing came in from outside the pit and pressed against Zhao Zheng's throat.
The black, long, thin thing was so cold, the cold spread all the way to Zhao Zheng's chest and abdomen, he couldn't help but shiver, he was sure at this time, this was not a dream, this was a real thing.
Then, an even darker figure, separated from the surrounding black shadows, appeared.
There are also two curved horns on the head of this black shadow, he leaned forward at the mouth of the pit, revealing a black scorched face, two eyes bulging, looking at Zhao Zheng, Zhao Zheng suddenly felt that these eyeballs were very familiar, he patted his head, and suddenly remembered something, and said in his heart, these two eyeballs are not the same as the eyes of the old scalper? Zhao Zheng couldn't help but look at it twice, the eyes of the person who came were round and bulging, and there seemed to be double eyelids, it was exactly the same, it turned out to be a monster turned into an old scalper, Zhao Zheng was happy for his great discovery, and couldn't help but laugh.
The visitor was so surprised that this visitor from outside the sky suddenly appeared out of thin air, and laughed inexplicably.
The comer is not good!
Then, Zhao Zheng felt the thing in his throat tighten, and his throat seemed to be about to run out of breath.
Then, Zhao Zheng saw that the minotaur had its mouth one by one, just like the old ox chewing grass one by one, and the different ones made a sound from their mouths.
"Who's coming? ”
Zhao Zheng couldn't speak in his consciousness, so he reflexively responded: "Can you speak human words?"
The audience suddenly became very silent.
Zhao Zheng saw the minotaur's body trembling silently, he knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly explained: "I...... I...... I'm that. ”
But then a loud laugh interrupted him, and he turned his head to look at the laughter, and it turned out that there were people in the pit not far from him.
It was two stoophed men, dressed in green cloth, in a corner of the pit, almost the color of dirt in the night.
It looked like a Taoist attire, and the laughter came from an old man with a white goatee, he was about fifty or sixty years old, he laughed a few times, but then he coughed violently, and the other person looked like he was much younger than him, but his chin was also short and bearded, and the young Taoist helped the Taoist who was coughing violently and thrashed his back and said, "Senior brother, don't ...... Speak hard, and do it to your wounds ......"
Listening to his staccato tone, it seemed that he had been injured.
The old man with the goatee was very stubborn and snorted, "Now...... Reduced to ...... This step of the field, still ...... What else is there to cherish?"
He struggled to finish the sentence, coughed vigorously again, and then, with a flick of his hand covering his mouth, several strings of liquid in his palm fell into the dirt.
The short-bearded Taoist was surprised: "Senior brother...... You...... You're coughing up blood. ”
The goatee said stiffly, "Coughing up blood...... Hmph, this old bone is going to die here today, coughing up blood...... Hey hey ......"
Zhao Zheng glanced at the two Daoists, and understood a little in his heart, it seemed that these two Daoists were attacked by demons and were at the end of their rope. Suddenly, my heart lit up, did the old man send me here to help these two desperate people?
He suddenly felt a little flattered pride in his heart, and seemed to have accepted a great task, but then he thought about it, no, he couldn't even protect himself, how could he save others.
He had only one wish in his heart at this time, and that was to hope that the demons would ignore him as an uninvited guest and continue with what they had just done.
But before the minotaur could say anything, the goatee took a break and said in one go: "This hero laughs at the demon, and this courage is really very admirable. ”
His tone seemed to remind the demons, intentionally or unintentionally, that the people who had fallen from the sky were here to be their enemies.
Zhao Zheng hated it in his heart, he thought that the minotaur might ignore his existence, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not a hero, I'm ...... I was passing through. ”
Zhao Zheng's white lie immediately aroused the anger of the minotaur, and as soon as his hand was stretched, the cold thing immediately poked deeply in Zhao Zheng's neck, and Zhao Zheng fell down in response to the poke, and suddenly lay on his back in the pit.
I didn't expect people to be so vulnerable!
The two Taoists seemed to see that Zhao Zheng was not a hero, and they shook their heads with regret.
The minotaur also seemed to see that the uninvited guest seemed to be a passer-by, and his vigilance immediately disappeared, and he retracted the cold weapon.
Then the goatee said to the minotaur outside the pit, "This ...... This little brother has no grievances with you, and I hope you ...... Lift up your hands once. ”
His tone was soft, and he said it with great difficulty. It was as if he was pleading for someone for the first time in his life.
The short-bearded Taoist priest next to him called out to his senior brother, and also clasped his fists at the minotaur and said: "Why should Your Excellency kill more innocents, this passer-by, let him go, it is also Your Excellency's virtue of life." ”
The situation reversed, just now it seemed that he was here to help them, and now it seems that they are saving themselves in a way, Zhao Zheng was grateful and ashamed in his heart, he was speechless.
The goatee Taoist coughed heavily for a while, even wheezing, and there was a burst of wind pulling in his chest and abdomen, and the short-bearded Taoist kept beating his back for him, seeing that he was injured for a while, he said in a sad voice: "Senior brother, you have to hold on...... You...... You're not good, what's the ...... Can I be worthy of Master......"
The goatee mourned twice, as if he wanted to cry, and suddenly raised his head to the empty and said: "If the demons are not eliminated, under the nine springs, my generation will not be at ease!"
The voice was mournful, full of the meaning of death.
The short beard was also mentioned in a sad mood, and choked up: "Senior brother, it's all because we are not good at learning, and we have fallen to such a point today." ”
The minotaur turned a blind eye to the grief and indignation of the two of them, waved his hand, and the demons waved their shovels again, and the loess came overwhelmingly, hitting the two people and Zhao Zheng, and falling into the pit.
Zhao Zheng kept stretching out his arms to block the grid, and occasionally a clod of soil smashed on his arm, so painful, he wanted to cry out, but the loess trickled down from his hair, blended into his eyes, and mixed into his mouth.
Zhao Zheng really wants to cry, it's really a disaster from the sky, he is so dignified, he suddenly came out of an old man's house, and brought himself here for no reason, it is really inexplicable, it is really harmful.
The clods of earth continued to be beaten down, but the two men had the momentum of killing at this time, but instead of blocking the loess that rushed in, they stood upright, letting the dust spill on their hair and burrow into their necks.
The two people stood upright, although they were in a disadvantaged situation, but their momentum was suddenly very strong, and they felt like they were about to overwhelm the demons in the world.
Zhao Zheng has been tossed out of breath, in order to avoid the shoveled clods, he danced at the bottom of the pit, the two people saw him in such an embarrassed look, although they didn't want to watch the passers-by suffer innocent, but they could only love and helpless, at this time the goatee Taoist glanced at Zhao Zheng, nodded to the short-bearded Taoist, the short-bearded Taoist understood, staggered close to Zhao Zheng in the loess that was difficult to pull out, stood in front of Zhao Zheng, and used his back to block the loess that pounced on Zhao Zheng, Zhao Zheng was very grateful, and thanked each other with his fists.
At this time, there was a hint of sharpness in the tired eyes of the short beard, he looked at Zhao Zheng and said: "Little brother, you and I are both suffering, and in today's situation, everyone can escape by all means......"
