Chapter 18: The Shadow of the Ruins
When it was ugly, the ruins of the mountain villa, behind the Jianxiao Hall, a few points of reflection loomed in the night, and by the uncertain moonlight, the little light and shadow gradually joined together, outlining a complete outline, it turned out to be a person lurking in the dark. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough this person's figure is revealed, his face is always hidden in the dark night, and at first glance, it seems that he is a leaderless man standing in Si. Reflecting the bleakness of the ruins, and the horror of the crows, this place is indescribably desolate and weird.
Whew, a gust of night wind blew, blew through the corners of the man's clothes, and rushed towards the ruins of the Sword Screaming Hall, the broken walls like cold-blooded guards, ruthlessly rejecting it. It didn't stop, it spun back, rolling up dust and leaves.
"Ding-" The man twisted a yellowing leaf in his hand, like a naughty child, and flicked the edge of the leaf, but the leaf hardly trembled under the force, and let out a crisp and melodious sound of metal colliding.
As the aftermath faded away, the moonlight flashed out of the stacked clouds and spilled onto the earth. Inadvertently, there was another figure in the darkness, a rickety body, thin and haggard, like an old man in his last years.
The old man didn't say anything, but stretched out a hand.
"In such a hurry?" the man chuckled and blocked his hand back.
The moon flickered, and the old man vanished, as silently as he had appeared.
The man's expression moved slightly, his ears moved a few times, and his feet stood as loose as a pine.
"Big brother, think twice before you make a move!" The man's voice was smooth, but extremely penetrating, and could be heard near the sword roar. Even so, this sincere exhortation failed to penetrate the old man's heart, and there was silence all around.
Suddenly, without warning, the man took three steps to the east, then turned around, took two steps back to the north, then took another step to the west, and stopped moving. These rabbits rise and fall, the footwork is extremely neat, but it is inexplicable, but the hair on his temples floats up, it seems that the wind is very urgent, but at this time, the moon is dark and the stars are scarce, and everything is silent, where does this wind come from?
"Big brother, you're tired, stop it!" the man seemed to be very self-contained, and persuaded without being bored.
Sure enough, when the old man who was called the eldest brother reappeared, his body was even more rickety, and he looked tired.
"Ho-ho-ho-" The old man gasped and stopped not far in front of the man. This time, the man took the initiative to step forward, took something out of his bosom, and respectfully offered it.
"Big brother, you take this Soul Resident Pill first!" the man's tone was very sincere.
The old man took the pill, without the slightest hesitation, and swallowed it with a raised neck.
"Ahem, cough, cough..." A violent cough, like an invisible hand, pushed the old man's body, causing it to shake violently until he spit out a few mouthfuls of black blood. The old man gradually straightened up, in fact, his stature was not short, and he could even be described as majestic, but for some reason, he was so rickety.
"I've done what you said, so why don't you remove the pain from me?" the old man looked angry and helpless.
"This is a bad statement, the pain of the skin is Dingyuan's tempering of the eldest brother, and the day this pain disappears, it is the time when the eldest brother is successful! Besides, the younger brother has just eliminated the suffering of your body!"
"! If it weren't for your way, how could I have ended up like this!" The old man let out a long sigh and slammed his palm into the ruins. This palm contains seventy percent anger, thirty percent remorse, if it really hits this broken wall, it will be a mess. But the strange thing is that Shi Po's shocking palm was like hitting cotton, without a sound. The old man looked at the place where he struck in wonder, but saw that the man was smiling at him, and the palms of the two were facing each other.
"Big brother, there is silence here, your palm is not to wake everyone outside the village to wake up! But just a try, your skills have been greatly improved! It seems that our big things are just around the corner!"
"Hmph, in my opinion, what does the so-called big thing have to do with me?" A hint of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, and he withdrew his arm in a mocking manner.
"Eh—didn't Big Brother have ever thought of this before?" the man said with mockery.
"What if there is, what if there is not?" As soon as the old man said this, his momentum was already declining.
"If there is, then work together with the younger brother, if not, hehe, the eldest brother can find another job!" Although the man prides himself on being humble, he is advancing by retreating.
"You..." The old man seemed to have been hit by a stray arrow, and was speechless for a while.
"What are you going to do with the devil?" the man was not worried that the old man would disobey his will, and at best he was in a troublesome mood.
"All these things are for him, and naturally I have to cut him with a thousand knives to relieve the hatred in my heart!" the old man said sadly, his eyes full of tears, and his true feelings were sincere.
"Okay, with the words big brother, the world is in your hands and me!" The man excitedly slapped his palm and said arrogantly: "Now, just wait for him to appear!"
"It's been fifteen years, I've been waiting for him for fifteen years, do you still care about these three or five days? There is Qin Yuan's thief imprisoned here, I want to see if he can still calm down!" The old man's eyes were cold, and he said calmly.
"When the eldest brother is obscure, and when he finally becomes a hero, the younger brother admires!" the man praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Really?" the old man glanced at him and sneered, "It's the wisdom of the virtuous brother that I admire!"
"Where, where..."
"Qin Yuan, how are the guards?" The man was about to say something humble, but was interrupted by the old man.
"Big brother, rest assured, the head of Huashan has lost his trust, and the rest of the sects and factions are all convinced of what happened to Xiaojian Villa, as for the little thief, he will be strictly guarded!"
"That's the best!" the old man nodded slightly, and then said, "Take your Soul Staying Pill and give me some more!"
"If the eldest brother needs it, the younger brother will definitely offer it with both hands, but this elixir must be refined ninety-nine and eighty-one times before it can restrain the immortal court qi on his body. The younger brother still has one left here, give it to the eldest brother first, and the rest will take time!" The man took out another one from his bosom, and was about to give it to the old man, when he suddenly took it back.
"This...?" the old man asked, frowning, staring at the man.
"Big brother, don't think about it, this pill pill junior brother will send it to you no matter what, but there is one more thing to ask for!"
"Joke! Don't you see that I am so down-and-out that you have come to entertain me? If you have something to say, you can let it go!" The old man was furious when he decided that the man was playing right and wrong.
"Big brother is angry, do you still remember the marriage proposal in the hall that day?" the man asked without changing his face.
"Haha... Why, now, do you still want to marry the wind spirit to Qin Yuan's thief?"
"Hehe, of course not" The man also laughed, and changed the conversation: "Actually, that day, there was still a family affair that had not yet been exited!"
"Another one?" the old man suddenly became interested.
"Exactly! The younger generation is willing to tie the knot with Wan'er, and the Jingdaomen is willing to cultivate the friendship of Qin and Jin with Xiaojian Villa!" The man bowed down and clenched his fists, as if he was really visiting his father-in-law.
