Chapter 496: Flee or Fight?
After the sun goes down, because of the special geographical location and the winter season, the cold fog is getting thicker and thicker, and it is almost difficult to see, so every household in the town under the cliff will not go out again after nightfall, and most of them will go back to their rooms to rest after dinner.
Not far from the only inn in town, there was a somewhat dilapidated house belonging to a simple man and his wife in the town.
This man has a withdrawn personality, and he usually goes to the woods to cut wood for a living, and the couple has no children, so they are a little estranged from the rest of the town, and they don't meet much on weekdays.
In recent times, the middle-aged man has been going to the pine forest outside the town at a fixed time every day to cut wood, and his wife will occasionally appear in front of people, so no townspeople know that a month ago, there was an old man dressed in tattered clothes and gray hair, knocking on the man's door to ask for a drink, and then until now, he has not taken a single step.
At this time, there was a light in the dilapidated house, and everything in the courtyard was the same as it was a month ago, and although the furniture was scarce, it was neatly arranged and not cluttered.
But the strange thing is that in this house, there is smoke rising in the evening, but no one is eating in the kitchen at this time, including the bedroom, which is also empty, and the faint cold mist is scattered and shrouded, which looks extremely gloomy.
The middle-aged man who originally lived here, his ancestors were the leading figures in Yaxia Town, so this dilapidated house is actually quite large, and there is a deserted backyard, which is used by the man as a place to store the cut wood, but between the broken walls and ruins of this backyard, there is a broken house, and there are three figures in the house.
Two standing, one sitting cross-legged.
The two people standing, their eyes are empty, their eyes are dull, motionless, and if you look closely, their bodies are bloodless, they are two human puppets that have long been dead, but the figures sitting cross-legged on the ground are living people, hidden under the pitch-black robes, blending into the darkness.
After a while, the figure raised its head slightly, opened its eyes, and the cold mist seemed to burn two pale ghost fires, and then it stretched out its withered right hand and gently removed the ghost ship suspended beside it, and the old voice sounded faintly.
"There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get there, you have not stepped in that city, that palace for more than ten years, I have tried my best to get close, and now, you actually came out, you are finally willing to leave that city!"
The old voice that echoed in the ruined house was filled with irrepressible excitement and excitement, and at the same time, the ghost fire burning in the cold mist kept beating up and down, but in the next breath, the voice regained its calm, as if talking to itself, and asked softly:
"What am I going to do?"
The voice of inquiry fell, and the darkness fell into an eerie silence, and the black-robed old man, who had been hiding in this dilapidated house for more than a month, sat cross-legged on the ground, fell into a long time of thinking and making decisions, and kept asking himself in his mind.
In his life, there are actually many choices similar to the present, which can be summed up in a few words, that is, fight or escape!
But he's been on the run, he's always been on the run, he's been on the run all his life.
He doesn't remember the first time he chose to escape, but sometimes courage is like that, once lost, it is difficult to get it back, especially the courage to face death.
He feared death more than anything else.
Therefore, the ghost fire that used to roll and burn and jump in the cold mist, and the vast ghosts that constantly surrounded its body and let out a silent wail, suddenly disappeared as if they had been poured a basin of cold water.
The Great Elder of the Hades Sect, Bai Mingxiu, still insisted on his usual choice, he wanted to escape!
Therefore, Bai Mingxiu, who was shrouded in black robes, slowly stood up from the ground, and for some reason, there was a voice in his heart that kept echoing in his mind.
"For more than ten years, you have been waiting for such an opportunity, Chu Qiu is using his life to prove that he is no worse than Xiu Yuyan, and he is still worthy of Zhao Wouji, and now that Zhao Wouji is nowhere to be found, as long as he kills Xiu Yuyan, the Great Xia Zhao family will definitely be heartbroken, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”
Bai Mingxiu's right foot that stepped forward stayed in place, and then fell into a long struggle again, and finally gently stretched out his right hand and slapped it forward, and the two standing puppets around him directly turned into powder and dissipated.
In the next breath, a dark and infinitely ghostly ghost ship soared into the sky, as if sailing in another space, silently.
At the same time, on the streets of the town, Jiang Tu, the deputy commander of the Japanese army, and Xinhao, a young Confucian student, were walking briskly side by side.
As it was getting late, the thick fog had enveloped everything around it, and even the orange light that could have been shining through had completely disappeared.
The thick fog has cut off the entire town of Yaxia!
Jiang Tu squinted his eyes and glanced around, and then the billowing evil qi on his body burned outward like a flame, penetrating his body, and in an instant, the surrounding cold fog was directly forced to retreat to the surroundings, and the sight in front of him suddenly became extremely clear, and at the same time, a cold voice sounded faintly:
"We're going to speed up, the Queen Mother is waiting, there's a light not far ahead, go and have a look there." ”
After finishing speaking, the figures of the two of them blurred for a while, and then turned into a red and a white, two thunderbolts that pierced the void, and it only took a few breaths to come to the door of the house.
Then the young Confucian scholar Xinhao raised his hand and gently knocked on the door, making a crisp sound, and at the same time his clear voice came out:
"The master's family is here, and under is Xinhao, who has just arrived here, there is something to ask for, can you open the door and talk about it?"
When the words fell, there was no sound in the room, Xin Hao frowned a little puzzled, and raised his hand to knock on the door again, this time he increased a little force, so the sound came out louder, but there was still no response from behind the door.
Jiang Tu and Xin Hao glanced at each other, the former just wanted to signal to go to another house to have a look, suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and a cold mist floated out of the yard behind the door again, and the faces of the two completely changed, and they blurted out directly:
"There is a smell of corpses in the fog!"
In the next breath, Jiang Tu, the deputy commander of the Japanese army with an extremely cold face, directly raised his hand and smashed the door in front of him with a punch, and the two stepped into it.
At the same time, in the sky above Yaxia Town, the Nethership that had been rapidly moving away suddenly stopped in place, and then an old voice of gnashing teeth sounded inside the ship.
"I've escaped for a lifetime, I can't escape my life, I've done all the bad things for nothing, everyone shouts and beats, but I didn't expect the avenue to give me such a chance, if I don't give it a try, I won't die. ”
The voice fell, and the Nether Ship turned around, like a dagger stabbed by death in the darkness, falling straight down!
