Chapter 356: The hunchbacked pockmark
After nightfall, the Prime Minister's Mansion found all the lanterns and hung them everywhere in the mansion, taking pictures of the Prime Minister's Mansion as if it were daytime. The entire mansion was surrounded by 10,000 elite soldiers, and the mansion was full of guards, and Gao Cheng was accompanied by the senior monk Guangxiao at all times, looking at it unless there were tens of thousands of horses killed, otherwise it was impossible to succeed with only one or two assassins.
Gao Cheng, who was highly nervous, didn't plan to sleep either, he ordered the ceremonial officer to be handed over to his mansion and give a speech on the etiquette of the order of tomorrow's ceremony. When the ceremonial officer was teaching etiquette, the prime minister ordered someone to bring the Son of Heaven costume that he was wearing tomorrow, and while listening to the etiquette of the ceremonial officer, he put on the Son of Heaven's costume and let the tailor stay by his side to see if there was anything that needed to be changed. Guangxiao sat three or five feet away from Gao Cheng, meditating cross-legged with his eyes closed, as if he was going to fall asleep at any time.
Seeing that it was almost there, Gao Cheng began to panic again, looking at the tailor and the official in front of him, the more he looked like an assassin. At that moment, the prime minister and celebrity blew them all away, leaving only his close guards and the silent Guangxiao monk in the room.
Looking at Guangxiao's drowsy appearance, Gao Cheng's heart became more and more bottomless. At that moment, the prime minister deliberately raised his voice, hoping to make the Zen master sober up a little: "Master, if nothing big happens tonight, do you say that the master behind the scenes will suddenly make trouble in tomorrow's Zen ceremony......
Gao Cheng finished speaking, but he didn't see Monk Guangxiao come to his senses. Just when the prime minister was about to wake up the monk in person, a meteor suddenly flashed in the sky, and the eyes of everyone in the mansion were attracted by the meteor in the sky. With a loud bang, the meteor in the sky suddenly exploded, and after a burst of dazzling light, almost all the people who were looking up at the meteor explosion were white in front of their eyes, and the things and people around them were all gone. Although the dazzling glow only lasted a few days,
The sudden blindness of the eyes that had been good made these people frightened. A moment later, cursing, screaming, and crying followed. Fortunately, none of the people in the room noticed the vision of the sky outside, and they were one of the few people who were not blinded by the abnormal explosion of the meteor.
However, at the moment when the meteor exploded, all the candles and lanterns in the Prime Minister's Mansion were suddenly extinguished in an instant. The mansion, which had been as bright as day, was now pitch black. The guards guarding Gao Cheng's side were not surprised, and took out the fire fold and fire sickle to rekindle the candles and lanterns. But at this time, they realized that the cotton wick inside the candle burned out in an instant. Now all the candles have turned into wax rods one by one.
"Butler! Send the lamps and candles ......" the leader of the guard opened the door and shouted into the night. But his shouts were soon drowned out by the moans and cries of countless individuals. At this time, the housekeeper's eyes were also white, not to mention sending candles, it was impossible to come over.
"Master Guangxiao! It should be ...... now" Gao Cheng groped towards Guangxiao's position in the dark, and at this time he found that the monk who was originally sitting here had disappeared at this time. Unexpectedly, at this time, Monk Guangxiao actually ignored Gao Cheng and the others, and sneaked away by himself......
Now it was pitch black outside, and the screams of countless people could be heard everywhere. After Gao Cheng hesitated for a moment, he still didn't dare to leave here easily, after all, there were still these guards here. Once you go out and go with them, it's even more dangerous.
"We don't need any candles, now we light candles and they are someone else's target." Gao Cheng followed his father Gao Huan to fight in the north and south all the year round, and immediately calmed down after a moment of panic. After instructing the guards not to act rashly, they slowly began to adapt to the dark environment. The distance that could be seen in front of me was much farther away, and I could faintly see that in the courtyard outside the house, there were guards everywhere who were covering their eyes and screaming here.
After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, Gao Cheng cautiously walked out of the room with the guards, and groped his way to the back door in the night. In this situation, there must have been a monk who killed him, and it was better to leave early if it was too dangerous to stay in the mansion. Although there is still a formation set up by Guangxiao in the big house, but the formation must be invalid when the others are gone.
However, just as they Gao Cheng and the guards groped towards the back door, the location of the gate suddenly sounded, and then there was a light in the originally dark night. I saw a hunchbacked old man walking in from the gate with a tattered lantern in his hand, and by the light of the lantern, he saw that a burnt yellow dough was densely covered with black-brown pockmarks.
After seeing the group of people walking towards the back door, the hunchback pockmark smiled, and opened her mouth to reveal her mouth full of black-spotted teeth and festering gums. said to Gao Cheng and the others: "Prime Minister, are you going to leave now?" Is it okay to leave that thing behind before leaving? has been tossed for so long, and even characters like Guangxiao have been offended. You say go, but what about me? Leave that thing behind, and none of you can leave without wanting to live. ”
At this time, the blind man knew that this person was the mastermind behind the scenes. At that moment, the leader of the guards pointed to the four guards in front of him and said, "This person dares to assassinate the prime minister, you go up and cut this person's body into pieces!" As soon as his words fell, the four guards he pointed to drew their waist knives and rushed towards the hunchback pockmark. At the same time, the guard took Gao Cheng and quickly ran towards the back door.
The four guards who rushed over at the hunchbacked pockmark just now knew in their hearts that they had no way to hurt this person with their own skills. All they had to do was delay Gao Cheng's escape for a moment. However, just as these guards rushed to the distance of the hunchback pockmark, the four of them knelt on the ground almost at the same time.
The four of them began to tremble violently, and after a few moments, the flesh of the four guards began to rot rapidly, and after a few struggles, they all swallowed. And the hunchbacked pockmarks didn't seem to see it, and slowly chased down the location where Gao Cheng and the others had fled.
Just when the hunchbacked pockmark chased five or six zhang away, the figure in front of him flickered, and he saw Guangxiao, who had disappeared just now, in front of the hunchback. After looking the hunchbacked Mazi up and down, he still shook his head and said, "Mazi, where have we met before?" You can't be a new person like this......"
Guangxiao suddenly disappeared before, just to attract this person to appear. Originally, he thought that the person behind the scenes must be an old acquaintance who he hadn't seen for many years, but he didn't expect that after seeing the appearance of the hunchbacked pockmark, Guangxiao couldn't remember where he had seen this person. It is understandable that ordinary people have forgotten their appearance a few times, but if you look at a surprising appearance like a hunchbacked pockmark, you will never forget it in this life.
"Don't think about it, Mr. Guangxiao, we haven't met." The hunchbacked Mazi saw Guangxiao's thoughts, and after a smile, he continued: "I have been living in seclusion in the barren mountains and wilderness for so many years, and I have hardly had contact with outsiders, how can you have an impression of me, Mr. Guangxiao?" ”
Guangxiao nodded slightly as if he understood, and then said again: "Although your face is raw, the magic of this body is familiar. This was the technique of asking Tianlou back then, and now there are only a few people who can use such a technique. Except for the two landlords who have already traveled to the immortals, the most famous person among them is Yuan Chang - obviously you are not the monk. Then there is only one possibility, you are one of the fourth-floor pillars that were founded with the two landlords back then......"
Hearing that Guangxiao actually revealed his identity, the hunchbacked pockmark was stunned for a moment, and just when he wanted to say something, the monk on the opposite side had already made a move. Guangxiao took a step forward, and his body teleported directly in front of the hunchbacked Mako. He stretched out his right index finger and pointed it at the hunchback's chest.
"Bang!" After a sound, the hunchback pockmark was beaten out from a distance, Guangxiao smiled slightly, got up and walked towards the position where the hunchback landed......
