This template, it's a bit of a loss to be a hero

Chapter 166
"How is the land at home?"

"There is no human race, and everything is barren." Lin Yimiao was carrying a small schoolbag, and turned her head. In the cold winter months, her little nose was red with cold, but her excitement was still hard to hide. Plant something? It’s so bare and ugly.”

"Hey...it can't be planted anymore, how can there be people farming in our village now..." Lin Yiqi stretched his neck, looked up at the sky, and said lazily, "Let it be left uncultivated." , the days of our family digging food from the ground should be over.”

"How is Mom?"

"Mom...not very well..." Thinking of her mother's old appearance, Lin Yimiao couldn't help lowering her head, with tears welling up in her beautiful eyes, "You haven't been around these few years, she has aged very quickly, and she is still the same as before. Same, life is very economical. If you haven’t finished eating the dishes two or three days ago, she will keep eating... You can earn money outside, and she has nothing to do. She stays at home and makes up the dishes. Kind of gadgets, or just in a daze, or... go to my father's ancestral grave and sit there for a whole day. To be honest, I'm a little worried."

"Brother, when are you coming back?"

"..."

After the silence, Lin Yiqi sighed, "My brother also wants to come back, but..."

"It's my fault!" Lin Yimiao interrupted him, and said with some guilt, "I'm too willful, my brother is earning money outside, so there's nothing I can do..."

"Chinese New Year, let's wait until the Chinese New Year. At that time, my brother will buy you new clothes." Lin Yiqi squatted down, stretched out his hand, gently stroked her head, and said in a tone that seemed to be deceiving himself, "Little Girl... how about you? How are you doing?"

"It's okay." Lin Yimiao showed modesty, "In this surprise test, my scores in all subjects combined are the first in my age."

"Age...first?"

"Yes, number one!" She instinctively wanted to find the report card from her schoolbag, but when she turned her head, she found that she didn't have a schoolbag on her back.

And here... is not a school.

It is a dark, deep mountain path that cannot be touched by the sun, so quiet that not even a bird's cry can be heard.

"Eh?" Lin Yimiao was a little confused and rubbed her eyes, "Weren't you in school just now? What's going on... When did you come to the mountain?"

"……elder brother?"

Quiet.

When he turned around again, Lin Yiqi was gone.

She was standing on a path up a hill where the leaves were so overgrown that the sunlight had been clipped into splinters and flecks of light.The cold wind blows, the leaves rustle, as if someone is whispering in the ear, listen carefully, but it becomes broken and incomplete fragments, unable to connect into sentences.

"elder brother……"

"elder brother……?"

……

"Little girl..."

A voice floating in the sky like a piece of paper came from not far away, with a strange smile, "Your brother is far away from here."

red.

The red Taoist robe was particularly dazzling in this forest. For some reason, Lin Yimiao couldn't see his face clearly, as if it was shrouded in a vague darkness.To put it bluntly, it's a bit like the people in the "Strange Core" animation, where a piece of the face is deliberately dug out and filled with shadows.

"You are... what they said... Tai Sui?"

"It may be, or it may not be." The red-robed Taoist's voice was very soft, like a nimble little snake, burrowing straight into his mind, "Actually... I am not as scary as they say. People are afraid of me because of me. Know the deepest desires of their hearts."

"It's like now, I'm asking you, little girl, do you still want to... chat with your brother for a while?"

Lin Yimiao just felt dazed, as if something had entered her mind and messed up all the things related to "common sense".She vaguely felt that it was a very evil thing for such a person to appear suddenly at this time and this place.But... even if he fell into the world woven by strange cores and dream cores, Lin Yimiao felt a strange sense of warmth in his heart.

He asked himself... Do you want to see your brother?
miss you.

So nod.

"Just think about it, think about it..."

He smiled, took out a small white porcelain gourd bottle from his pocket, and handed it into Lin Yimiao's small palm without any explanation.

"Eat one of these."

"After eating it, my brother will come to see you."

Take... this pill... will my brother come to see me?
"Why?" - This is the last counterattack made by the remaining sanity.

"There is no reason." The red-robed Taoist, or, it should be said, Tai Sui, said calmly, as if a skilled fisherman is watching a little fish that has been hooked and is still flopping, but is destined to be futile, " Eat it if you believe it, don’t eat it if you don’t believe it, it’s a very simple thing, don’t make it so complicated.”

……

In a trance, Lin Yimiao forgot how she pulled out the small cork and poured the pill into her hand.

Like his Taoist robe, it is red, and it does not have the fragrance of panacea as written in the novel, on the contrary, it smells like sansho pepper.Lying in the palm, I don't know if it's an illusion, but it exudes a weird warmth, like a hot little sun.

Is there any water?
She took a look at the red-robed Taoist's attire, and she didn't seem to be able to drink water, so she pinched her nose, intending to put the pill under her tongue and swallow it in one gulp.

The corners of the mouth hidden in the darkness raised slightly, revealing a cruel smile.

----

"Whoosh--!"

"Snapped!"

A stone flew over at a speed of sound and precisely shattered the white porcelain gourd. Lin Yimiao woke up immediately in fright, as if bitten by a snake, she quickly threw the pill and the porcelain bottle away.

"What?" Grandpa Tai Sui obviously didn't expect this move. At the last moment, a good thing made people go bad, which made him very angry, "Who?"

……

"Roar------!!"

The woods pushed open, a figure leaped high, pulled the tab on the glove on the left hand in mid-air, with a "click", steam burst out from the body, and the pair of double pupils shining with golden light instantly imprinted on Tai Sui's eyes. in the eyes.

"The person Fire Fist mentioned...is that you..."

"boom------!!"

A punch landed on the ground, like a star falling from the sky, ramming a big hole in the already soft mountain.The air wave spread out from this center, breaking the peace among the mountains and forests, and breaking the surrounding trees in half.Yin Chengyi intentionally stood in front of the little girl so that she would not be hurt by the shock wave. Those double pupils could still see things in the thick fog, and with just one glance, he saw the position of the Tai Sui Lord.

"It's dangerous here, stay away!"

Putting down the words, he stretched out his right hand and spread his five fingers.

"Boom!!"

The whirling giant ax flew from the sky, whirled all the way, ignited the surrounding air, and dragged a long tail of flame behind it.Yin Chengyi didn't even intend to waste this little time. With his feet a little, his body soared into the air, and he made a tacit air catch with the axe. !
One trick is fresh, eat all over the sky.

This is the move to chop Huashan... so powerful and fierce that Grandpa Tai Sui had to raise his right hand, and his right hand instantly turned into a kind of "substantial darkness", which is between liquid and solid. between.This layer of darkness extends out, forming a black curtain for defense.

but……

----

"laugh----!!"

The ax fell.

The darkness...was split in two, and the part where the ax blended with the ax pierced straight into his shoulder. Grandpa Tai Sui immediately screamed and half-knelt down.Blood gushed out from the wound and melted into the bright red Taoist robe, which seemed to be less obvious.

Or, he chose this color of Taoist robes as his regular clothes, and he had this intention in himself.

"Ha... so it's you..." After being hit by an axe, Grandpa Tai Sui showed a strange smile, "It's really not an ordinary person to make an 'artifact' recognize you as the master."

"However, it's not time to fight with you..."

……

The ground under the body was covered with a layer of darkness, and the blood-red figure in front of him... part of the darkness melted into it like water.

"As for now..."

"Just play with my 'pet'."

----

"Pet?" Yin Chengyi frowned, and a familiar tingling pain came from the back of his head again—not very strong, but it did exist, which proved that the enemy who came was not too strong.

look up.

A strange creature crawling on all fours, with a slender body and several snake-like hairs growing on the back of its head...

Quietly standing in the shadow of the tree.
