Chapter 18: Playing Dead
"Flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water?" said the hideous man, raising his eyebrows.
"Flying in the sky. Lin Yan didn't expect that these four people didn't immediately snatch them, but instead probed their own details, and couldn't help but think a little more highly of these people.
As for the question and answer between the two of them at this moment, it is also a kind of slang that circulates among the monks. This flying in the sky refers to the monks from the four major sects in the border region. What runs on this ground refers to the sects below these four major sects and the monks from the immortal cultivation family. As for swimming in the water, it refers to monks who have no background or a small background.
"Where are you flying?" The hideous man's face changed slightly after hearing Lin Yan's words, and then he asked.
Lin Yan pointed in the direction behind him. And in front of this direction, it was the location of the Xuanlei Sect.
"Xuan Lei Sect?" "The thin man looked at Lin Yan's movements, and his face suddenly became ugly, they were so lucky, in such a desolate place, they could actually meet the people of the Xuan Lei Sect.
The faces of the other three also turned extremely ugly.
"Is there a certificate?" the hideous man knew that the other party was probably not lying, but he still asked with a hint of luck in his heart.
Lin Yan took in the changes in the expressions of the four people, but he didn't despise these four people, after all, the Xuanlei Sect was an untouchable existence for them who had no background.
Lin Yan immediately took out a token, which was the token of the deacon of the outer gate of his Xuanlei Sect.
"Presumably, with the eyes of the four of you, you can also tell the authenticity of this token, right?" Lin Yan threw out the token and asked indifferently.
The hideous man took the token and looked at it with a solemn expression.
"Big brother, how's it going?" asked a diminutive man anxiously.
The hideous man looked away, although he didn't want to admit it, but the token was real. He nodded helplessly to the other three.
The faces of the three suddenly became even more ugly.
"Big brother, did we spend half a year working hard and give up so easily?" The thin man's face was unwilling, that strange thing took a lot of energy, but it was easy to deal with people. Even if the other party has the Xuanlei Sect as a backer behind him, how can he be willing in his heart?
"Don't worry. "The hideous man is older than the other three, and he has more experience and insight. Although his face is quite ugly, his heart is still very calm.
"I didn't expect that Daoyou turned out to be a member of the Xuanlei Sect, it was me and the other four brothers who were clumsy, and there were many offenses, and they still looked at Haihan!" The hideous man's face changed, and he said with a smile on his fists.
Lin Yan smiled silently, knowing that what the man wanted to say was still to come. Sure enough, the hideous man let go of his hand, looked at the gray mouse held by Lin Yan's right hand with an unchanged smile on his face, and said, "This mouse in the hands of Daoyou is the prey that our brothers have already taken a fancy to half a year ago. I didn't expect that we arrested this thing today, and it actually disturbed the Taoist friends, which is really our fault. ”
Lin Yan was still silent, and secretly said in his heart that although this person looked fierce and vicious, this mouth was really able to speak.
"Here, on behalf of the four of us, I will make a compensatory loss to the Taoist friends, and I hope that the Taoist friends will not mind. The hideous man clenched his fists again and said, "Although it has now fallen into the hands of Daoyou, after all, this thing was first discovered by the four of us and began to arrest it." ”
"So what do you mean?" said Lin Yan with a slight smile.
The corners of the hideous man's eyes jumped wildly, he also saw what it means to pretend to be confused, although this person looks young, but his shrewdness is not inferior to some old foxes.
"I hope to be able to return the gray mouse to me. The hideous man lowered his posture and tried to make a sincere appearance.
"But this rat is caught under ~ down. Lin Yan frowned, and said with a sad look on his face.
The hideous man's brows suddenly rose, and his face, which was originally hideous, looked even more vicious at the moment. The other three also looked at each other when they heard this, and a fierce light flashed in their eyes from time to time.
"Fellow Daoist, we don't have to be sloppy. What do you need to pay for the next four people, and Daoyou will exchange this mouse for us. The hideous man's brows furrowed, revealing an expression of something to discuss.
Lin Yan lowered his head and pretended to ponder.
At the moment when Lin Yan lowered his head, the hideous man seemed to touch the back of his head unintentionally. The four of them have known each other for decades, and their tacit understanding can be said to have reached the point where each other's gestures and glances can clearly understand what each other wants to express.
The three of them immediately understood what the hideous man meant, and looked for an opportunity to do it!
"Have you thought about it?" After a few breaths, the hideous man interrupted.
Lin Yan raised his head and looked at the four people opposite, nodded slowly, and said, "I've thought about it." ”
"Fellow Daoists, please say, we will definitely try our best to achieve it. ”
"I want to know what kind of strange thing this mouse is?" Lin Yan asked as he looked at the mouse in his hand that had passed out.
The hideous man had a hesitant look on his face.
Lin Yan's eyes narrowed, and he said with a cold face: "Do you want to regret it?"
"No...... I didn't mean anything like that, just ......" The hideous man hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mean that.
"Just what?" Lin Yan raised his eyebrows, and then said, "Are you afraid that after listening to it, you will regret it?"
"Naturally not. A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the hideous man, and then he said with a haha: "If you want to know the strangeness of this mouse, then ask Daoyou to come here." ”
"Huh?"
"To see the strangeness of this mouse, you need some kind of secret aid. And this kind of secret method can only work if you are close, and you can only ask your fellow Daoists to move. ”
"Oh, I see. Lin Yan made a look of sudden realization. Then he walked unsuspectingly in the direction of the four.
The hideous man saw that the other party was unvigilant, and the smile on his face couldn't help but get worse, and he secretly mocked in his heart, this person seems to be a talented person.
Just when Lin Yan was still ten steps away from the four of them, a loud shout suddenly came out of the mouth of the hideous man.
Do it!
As soon as the hideous man's words fell, the three people behind him were already ready. Each took a magic weapon and rushed towards Lin Yan like a hungry wolf pounced on food.
"What do you want to do, I'm from the Xuanlei Sect, you have to think about the consequences. Lin Yan's face suddenly showed a look of panic, and the whole person stood in place as if he was frightened.
"Boom. The hideous man rushed to the end, and said with a fierce face: "In this barren mountain and wild land, who would have thought that someone had died here, and this person is still from the Xuanlei Sect. ”
Lin Yan's eyes were full of fear, and the whole person was also standing in place and trembling.
"I can't imagine that Lao Tzu will one day be able to slaughter a person from the Xuanlei Sect with his own hands, but unfortunately this person is an embroidered pillow. The thin man rushed to Lin Yan first, and when he saw Lin Yan's frightened and pale face, a burst of happiness rushed to his heart.
Die!
The thin man had a cruel smile on his face, and he raised the magic weapon in his hand to smash Lin Yan's entire head.
But the next moment, the grim smile on the thin man's face suddenly froze, his eyes flashed with disbelief, and his heart continued to sink.
"You ......" At that moment, Lin Yan, who was originally full of fear and panic, was replaced by a calm on his face, and at the same time, his black and white eyes were looking at him with a mocking look.
"It's a pity, it's you who died!" Lin Yan used the same lifeless voice to announce the last of the thin man.
"Big brother!"
The other three only had time to see a black light flash from bottom to top.
The next moment, blood suddenly splashed all over the sky, and the whole person of the thin man was split in two by this black light, scattered on both sides.
"The third child!"
"Third brother!"
The expressions on the faces of the three of them froze, their eyes widened with disbelief and a hint of hidden fear, as if this was completely different from the ending they expected, and this instantaneous change shocked their hearts.
The three of them instinctively stopped, and looked at Lin Yan with red eyes, who was holding a black long sword in one hand. But when they looked at Lin Yan's calm face and dark eyes, the anger that originally filled their chests because of the killing of their own people was instantly extinguished by a chill that emerged from their hearts. It was as if they had seen what had happened to them.
"Daoyou, can you let the three of us go?" A bitter smile appeared on the corner of the hideous man's mouth, where was the anger in his heart at the moment that his brother was killed, there was only a coldness that was enough to freeze his body.
"If I were you, would you let me go?" Lin Yan asked rhetorically, but at the same time gave an answer.
"Haha. The hideous man suddenly burst out laughing, and the laughter was full of helplessness: "I didn't expect that the four of us would die in this barren mountain in the end." ”
"And no one will know. Lin Yan returned to them what the hideous man had said before. After the three of them heard this, the bitterness on their faces became heavier, who would have thought that this sentence would be returned to them soon.
Lin Yan waved the black long sword in his hand, and said in an indifferent tone: "Don't delay time, I know that you will not sit still." ”
The three of them tightened the magic weapon in their hands, and the next moment they rushed towards Lin Yan......
............
Poof.
Lin Yan opened his mouth and spit out a cloud of black blood, but he didn't expect that in just this moment, the two poisons in his body had faint signs of eruption.
"Looks like I'm running out of time. Lin Yan glanced at the four corpses beside him, then wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth, and muttered to himself.
Immediately after that, Lin Yan condensed a fireball and threw it towards the four corpses. The flames suddenly swelled, engulfing the four corpses in a moment.
Lin Yan didn't look at the corpse engulfed in flames, but his eyes fell on the gray mouse in his hand who was still unconscious, and suddenly said with a grin on the corner of his mouth: "Don't pretend to be dead." ”
But the gray mouse didn't move, and seemed to have really passed out.
Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately threw it on the ground. As soon as the gray mouse touched the ground, its closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing a pair of cunning eyes, and then turned over and rushed away into the distance.
But the next moment, a black light flew out faster and inserted into the dirt, blocking its path.
