Sleeping Arhat

Chapter 18

At night, the moon hangs in the sky, so bright and dazzling, the night sky dotted with stars has a special taste, making Wu Xian walk lightly, secretly happy because of a concern in his heart.

Now there is a breeze in both sleeves, no worries, no worries, no concerns, Wu Xian imagines like a little monkey, doing somersaults, jumping up and down on the branches, letting the wind blow away all his thoughts.

"Look at your appearance, why did you really let you find that little girl?" Old man Li held his booger, wiped it on the sole of his shoe, and suddenly remembered his current identity, and slapped him twice palm.

"Hey, everything is over now. From now on, I will wander around the rivers and lakes alone, and I can rest wherever I go, so I can feel at ease." Wu Xian lay on the straw with his hands supporting his head, and said with a smile.

"You boy, the rivers and lakes are not so easy and casual. You need to be careful at all times and be on the lookout for others." Old man Li said bitterly.

"I'm saving it, I'm saving it. I just want to join in the fun. If there's anything funny or weird, if there's any talent, beauties, or heroes, I'll just watch from afar and never mind my own business." , even if a peerless beauty is injured and falls in front of me, I can at most take a look and walk away, after all, it is not against the law to take a look, is it?" Wu Xian said with a smile, and said in a low tone.

"If you want to think like this, then I won't worry about you." Old man Li said with a sigh of relief, and old man Li straightened his chest again, raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Don't think that my old man is not very capable, I After so many years of walking in the rivers and lakes, no one can catch up with me so far."

"You have been in the rivers and lakes for so long, and you have competed with any famous knight. In my opinion, you are afraid that you will be exhausted whenever you are in danger. How can you have the opportunity to compare light skills with masters?" According to Wu Xian's understanding of old man Li, Wu Xian said.

"You boy..." Old man Li's beard and eyebrows were furious.

Old man Li sat upright, with a serious expression on his face, and said in a tone full of fear and reminiscence: "I remember when I was 49 years old, a group of beggar gang disciples were ordered to inquire about Mingjiao news, and we went all the way to the foot of Kunlun Mountain. I still remember that it was winter back then, and the Kunlun Mountains were already high and high, so it was extremely cold, and they would often turn into streaks of ice mist in an instant."

"Our group of [-] beggars has been facing horrific convulsions since the third night after arriving in Kunlun. When we woke up on the first night, there were still green bruises on the black fire. Yan Lie, someone found that two companions were missing, and we couldn’t find them. Those two were neither alive nor dead. In the vast and boundless snow field, they should not run away at night foolishly. The horrible atmosphere It’s spreading rapidly in our hearts.”

"So, we agreed that two people would keep vigil at night, six people would guard the night in shifts, and 12 people would guard the night in two days. Everyone could not leave the hut at night, and they would defecate and urinate in the shed. If anyone went out of the shed at night, Whether it is dead or alive, I don’t look for it, and I don’t care.”

"When the cock crowed, it was time to change shifts. When the two men woke up in a daze, they screamed. The nine of us woke up in fright, and found that the necks of the two guards in the previous shift were bitten to bloody blood. Dry and pale, as if drained of blood."

Speaking of this, old man Li was still a little terrified, with a look of fear on his face, and said slowly: "We have no sleepiness, and we dare not sleep. The tooth marks on our necks are clearly human teeth. I met the Bat Demon. He is as invisible and silent as a bat. He feeds on drinking human blood and uses human blood to practice magic skills. We dare not do this task. We pack up all night and sit withered. One night."

"At five o'clock, when the sky was still dark, we set off to return to the Central Plains, but the ghost of the bat demon was still lingering, attacking us every night, as if he didn't need to sleep, he could be found wherever we went, and They are attacking at night, they are really nocturnal like bats, they are completely devils."

"In the end, how many people in our group were killed by him, and how many people froze to death and died of exhaustion. Only me and two other beggars with slightly stronger skills were left to barely support them. When there were only three people, the bat demon would not Hidden, and appeared in front of us generously, I still remember his appearance, he is wearing a black robe and cloak, he is thin and small, with a shrill voice, sharp cheeks and sharp mouth, his face is gray and bloodless."

"He appeared generously in front of the three of us, and wanted to drink up the blood of the three of us in one go. There were three of us, one was skinny, the other two were chubby, and the other was strong and strong, but somehow, the relationship between the three He actually wanted to take my knife first, and wanted to drink my blood first."

"Originally there were fifteen living people, but now there are only three scattered people. We knew that we were no match for the Bat Demon, so we ran away in three, so that no matter who he chased first, the other two would have a big impact." Chance of escape."

Old man Li said very aggrievedly: "Among the three of us, it is expected that the big fat man's blood is the thickest and the most pure, and the strong and powerful beggar's blood is the purest and most fragrant, while my old beggar's blood is the smelliest and the thinnest. That bat came to chase me. After the three of us separated, the bat's lightness kung fu was very powerful, flying across the air, so fast that it passed phantoms in the air. OK."

"We chased for two hours. He couldn't catch up with me, and I couldn't get rid of him. He followed me steadily, but I was exhausted and I didn't have enough energy. I felt desperate at that time. , Once you stop, you will die, you dare not stop, you can only grit your teeth and persist."

"I didn't expect the heavens to help me. Just when I couldn't hold on, the bat demon's face turned green and white for a while, as if he had been possessed by a demon. Something went wrong, and he fell down the mountain like this. I'm afraid it's that stinky bat. It was a trick to lure the enemy, and I didn't dare to go to check whether the bat demon was alive or dead, so I fled back to the Central Plains and escaped the catastrophe."

Old man Li sighed deeply, feeling a little bit of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and now thinking about it, he was still terrified and trembling, vividly.

"So, the dangers in the Jianghu are far beyond your imagination. You only have good lightness skills and no means to defend against the enemy. You can only be slaughtered and exhausted." Old man Li said earnestly, but he was afraid that Wu Xian would be defeated by relying on lightness skills. complacent.

After listening to Wu Xian, his face was also full of solemnity. He didn't expect that old man Li would have such a crisis. Wu Xian was also very scared when he heard it before. The heart of martial arts.
