Chapter 298: Cabin in the Rain(1/2)
"What is that?" Under the long-lasting thunder and lightning, Li Xiu took a surprised look and saw two strange figures in the clouds, which seemed to be standing in the clouds.
One is in black and the other is in white. The body looks like a human being, but the face is like a ghost. The black monster in the clouds is holding a black stick in his hand. The man in white has a white cloth on his shoulders, looking down from the clouds, it seems that
He stared at Li Xiu intently.
The thunder and lightning disappeared in a flash, and Li Xiu lost his vision, but the appearance of the two monsters was imprinted in his mind, especially the eyes of the two monsters, which were much larger than human eyes, so they looked quite weird in proportion.
This was not the main reason that impressed Li Xiu. What was even more terrifying was the look of those two pairs of eyes, which were cold, evil, and bloodthirsty, as if they were wild beasts that were staring at their prey. Being stared at by those two pairs of eyes, even Li Xiu
They all felt a little uncomfortable.
Another flash of lightning lit up in the clouds, and Li Xiu once again saw the place where the two figures appeared just now, but he saw nothing. There was nothing in the clouds, as if there was nothing.
Li Xiu frowned slightly, and without having time to think about it, he continued to rush forward in the rain on the Masked Emperor.
The world seemed to be covered with bead curtains. Li Xiu kept accelerating in the rain curtain. The Masked Emperor's speed also soared to the extreme. The flames ejected from the exhaust pipe and both sides scattered the water on the ground.
, where the wheels ran over, the accumulated water spread out like lotus leaves.
Boom!
The thunder above the head became louder and louder, and the dark clouds seemed to be close to the top of Li Xiu's head. The dark clouds were as thick as ink and seemed to be about to drip down.
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of Li Xiu's eyes. The monster wearing black clothes and holding a black stick stood not far in front of him.
Because of the rain curtain, Li Xiu only discovered him when he was about to hit the black figure.
It was too late to brake. At such a fast speed, there was water on the ground. If Li Xiu changed direction now, even if the Masked Emperor was supported by flames on both sides, he might not be able to stop the car from overturning.
He couldn't turn around and didn't have time to brake. Li Xiu made a decision in an instant. He left the car seat with his buttocks, slightly bent his legs and pulled up with his hands. The Masked Emperor directly raised his head and rushed into the sky. From the top of the black figure's head.
Jumped up and over.
The motorcycle fell heavily to the ground, and the wheels skidded and shook uncontrollably. Li Xiu tightly held the handlebars of the motorcycle with both hands, forcibly controlling the Masked Emperor to prevent it from falling.
But as soon as he landed, Li Xiu's face turned ugly. The monster in white was standing in front of him at some point.
The Masked Emperor landed less than two meters away from the monster in white, and he rushed towards the monster in white in an instant.
Even with Li Xiu's reaction ability, there is no better solution at this time. The Masked Emperor has just fallen and has not been able to stabilize it. There is no way to make any adjustments.
Li Xiu gritted his teeth, grabbed the handlebars tightly, and hit the monster in white.
The expected collision did not happen. Li Xiu and his car passed through it together, as if the white-clothed monster was just an illusion and not a real existence at all.
After Li Xiu passed through, he subconsciously looked back, only to find that there was nothing where the white-clothed monster was just now, except for the pouring rain that kept falling.
Li Xiu frowned slightly, gritted his teeth and continued riding forward.
After riding for a while, Li Xiu realized something was wrong. He had been riding for so long, but he didn't even see a sword-making workshop.
You should be able to see several sword-making workshops along the way. Even if some of them are far away and cannot be seen in the rain, one of them is right on the road he must pass back. But after riding for so long, he should have been there long ago.
It was only right that I encountered it, but in the end I didn’t see anything.
"Something's wrong!" Li Xiu continued to ride forward. He had a strong sense of distance and direction. Even if he couldn't see anything and had no more reference objects, he couldn't go the wrong way. This made him feel
Bad premonition.
After continuing to ride for a while, the black-clothed monster and the white-clothed monster were no longer seen, but Li Xiu stopped on his own and
The Masked Emperor took it back and stood in the rain looking around.
According to his judgment, he should have arrived at the location of the workshop now, but there is nothing here.
"Did you enter an illusion?" Li Xiu directly rejected this idea. With his spiritual knowledge, if this was an illusion, he should have discovered it long ago.
This place is definitely not an illusion, but for some reason, the sword-making workshop that was supposed to be here has disappeared.
"What's going on?" Li Xiu looked up at the clouds that flashed with lightning from time to time. He saw dense raindrops falling from the sky and hitting him. His tights were almost soaked through.
Click!
There was another sound of thunder, and the thunder seemed to be ringing in Li Xiu's ears, almost deafening Li Xiu's ears.
Li Xiu covered his ears and lowered his head, shaking the rain off his face. But when he raised his head again, he was startled. The white-clothed monster's pale face, like a paper man, was right in front of Li Xiu.
, and almost had a cheek-to-cheek encounter with Li Xiu.
Li Xiu's toes touched the ground, and powerful force erupted from his toes, forcing him to retreat three feet.
But when I looked again, I didn't see the figure of the monster in white.
With a thought in Li Xiu's mind, the Fire Lotus Sword flew out automatically and turned into a sword lotus to wrap his body in it. The rainwater falling towards the sword lotus was directly blocked by the fire lotus sword light.
"Evil door! What the hell is that?" Li Xiu looked around with the light of the Fire Lotus Sword, but saw nothing.
Under the protection of the Fire Lotus Sword, Li Xiu continued to walk forward. After walking for a while, he realized that it was useless to continue walking like this.
Apart from this endless curtain of rain, everything seemed to have disappeared, not even a sword-making workshop could be seen.
"Husband, do you need me to guide you?" The bride-to-be suddenly floated out.
Li Xiu remembered that the last time the mute came, the bride-to-be came out. He could blow out the immortal lamp that he could not blow out, but the bride-to-be was able to blow it out.
This time, the bride-to-be came out to guide him, which made Li Xiu a little suspicious.
"Do you know the way?" Li Xiu asked, looking at the bride-to-be who was being protected by Jianlian.
"I don't know." The bride-to-be's answer made Li Xiu a little angry.
"If you don't know the road, how can you help me lead the way?" Li Xiu asked again.
"I just feel that there is something over there that may be helpful to my husband." The bride-to-be said, pointing in one direction.
"What's over there?" Li Xiu only saw the heavy rain and couldn't see anything.
"I don't know, I can only sense that there is something over there, it seems to be a familiar scent." The bride-to-be shook her head.
Li Xiu looked at the bride-to-be and then looked at the direction she was pointing. Now he had no other choice but to look in the direction the bride-to-be was pointing.
The bride-to-be floated next to Li Xiu like a female ghost, following Li Xiu without touching the ground. Her red wedding dress, coupled with the thunderstorm night, was no less eerie and terrifying than the black-clothed monster and the white-clothed monster she just saw.
.
Under the guidance of the bride-to-be, Li Xiu walked not far when he suddenly saw a bright light in front of him.
"Sure enough, there is something." Li Xiu walked over quickly and soon discovered that there was a small wooden house in front of him.
The cabin is very low. The roof is probably only a little over two meters above the ground. The wooden door is only 1.56 meters high. There is an oil lamp hanging under the edge of the door in front of the door. In this rainy night, the oil lamp flickers on and off, as if
It will go out at any time.
Li Xiu quickly came to the cabin. No matter what was inside, he wanted to go in and take a look. There was really no other way to go.
Li Xiu came to the door and knocked on the wooden door a few times, but there was no movement inside.
Frowning slightly, Li Xiu knocked a few more times and shouted at the door, "Is anyone there?"
But while he was speaking, a thunder exploded in the sky. The rumble completely drowned out Li Xiu's voice, and even Li Xiu himself couldn't hear him.
Li Xiu waited for the thunder to pass.
After that, he shouted at the door again, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the thunder sounded again, covering his voice.
Li Xiu shouted several times, and the thunder seemed to be deliberately against him. As soon as he spoke, the thunder would immediately sound, completely drowning out his voice.
Li Xiu gritted his teeth and pushed the door directly with his hand, trying to see if he could push the door open. Who knew that the wooden door opened easily without Li Xiu using any force at all.
Li Xiu stood outside the door and looked in, only to see that the fireplace inside the wooden house was burning, and the wood inside was crackling.
There was a rocking chair next to the fireplace, as if someone was sleeping on it, and he was covered with a gray blanket.
The back of the rocking chair was facing the wooden door. Because the door was too low, Li Xiu couldn't see who was sleeping in the rocking chair.
"Excuse me, it's raining too much outside, can I go in to take shelter?" Li Xiu said again.
This time when he spoke, there was no thunder.
But the person sleeping in the rocking chair seemed to be sound asleep and didn't hear what Li Xiu said at all.
"If you don't say anything, I will take it as your acquiescence." Li Xiu looked at the bride floating beside him and saw that she had no reaction, so he bowed his head and walked into the wooden house, and then opened the wooden door.
Closed.
"Just because I don't speak doesn't mean I agree to you entering my house." Li Xiu had just closed the wooden door when he heard an old voice coming from the other side of the rocking chair.
The person in the rocking chair did not get up, he was still lying on the rocking chair.
"Sorry, the rain outside is really heavy. I wanted to take shelter from the rain. I knocked on the door just now." Li Xiu said.
"You knocked on the door, but I didn't invite you in." The old voice continued.
"Sorry, if there is anything I can do to make up for my mistake, I would like to express my apology to you." Li Xiu said, looking at the rocking chair.
"I told you, do you dare to do it?" The man said, stretched out his hands and pressed them on the armrests of the rocking chair, and stood up from the rocking chair.
After he stood up, he turned around and looked at Li Xiu. Only then did Li Xiu see his appearance. He was an old man in his seventies or eighty years old, with wrinkles all over his face.
"Are you a human?" Li Xiu looked at the old man and was surprised to find that the old man had no characteristics or aura of a demon at all. He was clearly an old human man.
"Aren't you human?" the old man asked with a cold face.
"I'm a human too." Li Xiu said with a smile, "I just didn't expect to meet the same kind of people here. What do you call the old man?"
