Chapter 27 The Marrow-absorbing Monster
Month, a small town in the west.
The bright moonlight flowed in from the window, and Qiao Xiaoxuan carefully watched the wooden card in his hand beside the table. It may not be accurate to say that the wooden card is, but it looks like something like a tortoise shell, only the size of a fingernail, which makes Qiao Xiaoxuan have to use a magnifying glass to see the handwriting clearly. This handwriting is very strange. It is not like any font known so far. It has a bit of Oracle meaning, but it should not be so old in terms of material.
Qiao Xiaoxuan shook his dizzy head, closed his eyes, and lay on the chair without any clue.
This thing is too important to him. It is this inconspicuous brand that makes him doubt the values he has believed in for more than 20 years for the first time.
In the afternoon, he went to Jiqing Street, the largest antique market in the city. Antiques is Qiao Xiaoxuan's only hobby. It seems that he can have a communication with the ancients by touching the same object, which is very interesting.
When he took the sign that aroused his interest from the owner of the antique shop, it seemed that an electric current burst into his body, which was a kind of crisp that began to spread from the soul. Ma felt that everything in front of him became blurred and gradually faded away. Qiao Xiaoxuan seemed to have come to the legendary creation of heaven and earth, and all the feelings disappeared. The surrounding environment was "nothing". There was nothing, even air, light and shadow, only endless loneliness.
I don't know how long it took. When Qiao Xiaoxuan's consciousness returned to him again, he had a feeling of being separated. However, the owner of the antique shop with his eyes in front of him was nothing different. It seemed that Qiao Xiaoxuan felt that he didn't know how long it had been, but it was just a moment.
Without too much entanglement with this market boss, Qiao Xiaoxuan happily paid 10,000 yuan. However, his simply made the boss's eyes change slightly. Qiao Xiaoxuan looked into his eyes and walked straight out of the store without any expression.
"He thought he had lost his eye and lost money."
Qiao Xiaoxuan thought to himself that this was the little shrewdness cultivated by secular culture. Qiao Xiaoxuan never disdained it, with a kind of condescending tolerance, which was his pride.
Real pride is not being domineering and arrogant, but people look at you with pitiful eyes, and you don't know why you are pitiful.
Maybe the legendary gods and demons look at the world with such eyes. These ants who are complacent in the world don't know that what they desperately get in their hands is just empty.
Qiao Xiaoxuan opened his eyes tiredly, rubbed his cheeks hard, and looked at the bright moon outside the window. The moon is very round tonight. Is it fifteenth? The wanderer who lives alone has at least a family to think of, but Qiao Xiaoxuan doesn't know who he should think of, and there is an indescribable feeling in his heart.
In a trance, his eyes were a little hazy. Qiao Xiaoxuan even saw a dark shadow on the moon, a pair of stretched bat wings, a bit like the scene in Batman.
This break diluted the melancholy in his heart. Qiao Xiaoxuan laughed at himself. What happened today? Why did he suddenly become sentimental? The past 20 years have not come.
After two seconds, Qiao Xiaoxuan suddenly found that he was not dazzled by himself. There was indeed a pair of shadows of bat wings on the moon, and there was an expanding trend?!
Qiao Xiaoxuan frowned. The shadow had completely covered the moon, and the whole sky became dead and dark, and there was a little roar in his ear, as if something was screaming from afar.
"Boom!"
A Thunderbolt suddenly crossed the sky, tearing apart the originally dead darkness. Under the light of this moment, a ferocious face appeared on the window in front of him, a pale face, blood-red eyes, sharp fangs, and everything was like the marrow-absorbing monster in the movie.
Qiao Xiaoxuan was at a loss for a moment. He subconsciously stood up, took a step back and bumped into the chair behind him.
"Boom!"
Another flash of lightning lit up. This time, Qiao Xiaoxuan saw it clearly. The lightning was like a sharp sword. It instantly crossed the space and split straight on the head of a dark shadow. The dark shadow had a pair of bat wings.
The dark shadow that flapped its wings quickly fell down by lightning. What's more terrible is that this guy fell to the window in front of Qiao Xiaoxuan.
Qiao Xiaoxuan didn't want to retreat. He passed by the door, pulled out a golf club from the bookshelf and walked out of the door with one foot. However, he had no time to go out and only heard "twitter!" There was a noise, and the window in front of the desk was smashed. The winged guy was squatting on the desk. The broken glass dregs on the window lattice cut his dress. His pale face was also red and black, looking embarrassed.
Qiao Xiaoxuan stopped because he felt a cold breath locking him. He tightened the club in his hand. Although this could not deal with the legendary marrow-absorbing monster, it was better to have a guy in his hand than nothing.
He simply turned around and looked at the uninvited guest carefully. He wore a Western aristocratic dress with hard facial features and obviously not Chinese. His long light blonde hair was slightly curly, and his blood-red eyes showed a little blue.
The marrow-absorbing monster slowly raised his head and looked at Qiao Xiaoxuan. His pale face showed a trace of surprise. The next second, Qiao Xiaoxuan's neck cooled down and the air in his throat was squeezed out. The marrow-absorbing monster magically appeared in front of him and pressed him against the wall with his neck. It was too fast. Qiao Xiaoxuan did not see a trace at all. Zi only felt that his whole body was paralyzed and had no strength. He clearly felt the existence of his hands and feet, but he could not command it.
The marrow-absorbing monster smiled ferociously and put his pale face in front of Qiao Xiaoxuan and smelled it like food, "Is it strange? Nothing special, just combine a series of simple actions, but I'm faster.
At this time, Qiao Xiaoxuan actually had time to think, "He is explaining to me how he caught me in the blink of an eye?"
The marrow-absorbing monster pressed Qiao Xiaoxuan's head, revealing the aorta under the turtleneck sweater, looked up and roared, and bit it crazily.
"Ding!"
A soft sound sounded no less than that of nature, because he saw a sword stuffed into the mouth with tusks before the marrow-absorbing monster bit him. If he had to bite Qiao Xiaoxuan, his tongue would be separated from his body first.
At the other end of the sword is a crystal jade-like hand. The owner of this hand is a beautiful girl. She wears a short training uniform and holds a long sword like an ancient chivalrous man.
The marrow-absorbing demon looked at the long sword in his mouth with a strange face and dared not move. He really didn't expect this Chinese woman to come so quickly. The long sword penetrated his mouth from his left to the right, but blocked the fangs he bitten without scratching him at all. Such a swordsmanship can only be described as amazing.
"Let go of him." The woman said lightly, her voice was like an empty valley warbler.
The marrow-absorbing monster strangely loosened Qiao Xiaoxuan's hands and raised his hand to show that he had no movement.
His hands and feet seemed to have established contact with the brain again. Qiao Xiaoxuan ran behind the woman at the first time. Although he was uncomfortable, he did not panic at all.
Qiao Xiaoxuan is a calm person, and panic can't appear in his dictionary. It can be seen from the beginning of his escape without forgetting a weapon.
At this time, it is also considered that he did not choose to seize the road and escape. This house is a detached villa surrounded by orchards under the name of Qiao Xiaoxuan. He lives here to be quiet. In other words, he can't ask anyone for help now.
If the marrow-absorbing monster has time to chase him, it is useless to escape at his terrible speed. Now the safest place can only be behind the woman, hoping that she will cut off the marrow-absorbing monster under the sword.
"Grip it over."
The woman did not pay attention to Qiao Xiaoxuan. It seemed that there was no such person. Her words were still indifferent and there was no emotional fluctuation, as if she were saying hello.
Qiao Xiaoxuan really wants to go out immediately. Hearing this, it seems that these two guys are robbing something, so there must be a secret. Qiao Xiaoxuan really doesn't want to know the secrets of people at their level, otherwise there may be a possibility of being killed. God knows whether this woman is the legendary "right path" What if the two are just bad guys with a conflict of interest?
However, in the current situation, he is just a mouse watching two cats duel, and nothing he can decide.
The marrow-absorbing monster raised his eyebrows, seemed to have a free smile after failure, and slowly reached into his arms with one hand.
"It's going to be bad!"
Qiao Xuan scolded that the marrow-absorbing monster's eyes are wrong. Qiao Xiaoxuan has seen a lot of this kind of eyes in the mall. That's a brain-wracking look. No matter what he is thinking, there will definitely be no good.
There was no time to remind him that the marrow-absorbing monster suddenly waved his hand forward, and his sharp nails drew a few blood-colored arcs in the air and came with a roaring sound. The target was the woman's eyebrows. While waving his hand, the marrow monster turned into a black smoke. The sword can cut through the entity, but it can't hurt the smoke, right?
This woman is obviously not a mediocre hand. Just as the marrow-absorbing monster waved and changed, she had already flowed back. The long sword took the opportunity to lift Qiao Xiaoxuan by and mentioned him by the way.
Then Qiao Xiaoxuan felt that he retreated like a cloud and fog, and a snowy sword light flashed in front of him, smashing those blood lights.
The room quieted down again, and Qiao Xiaoxuan and the woman retreated to the edge of the desk. Opposite them was the door of the study. The black smoke there gathered together again, and the dark light flashed, and the awkward figure of the marrow-absorbing monster appeared in front of him. He obviously underestimated the ability of the oriental monk. The long sword may not only be a physical attack, proof It is said that there is only one fang on his bleeding lips, and the other broken one is lying at his feet.
The woman's long sword pointed straight at the marrow-absorbing monster, and the murder was so great that even Qiao Xiaoxuan beside her felt a chill.
The inexplicable chill spread in the air, and the solemn atmosphere made Qiao Xiaoxuan feel very depressed and difficult to breathe. Looking at the two people with big eyes, Qiao Xiaoxuan thought to himself, "This is murderous, 'killing', um, this metaphor is also appropriate, and there is indeed a feeling of being targeted by fierce beasts."
The roar of the marrow-absorbing monster interrupted Qiao Xiaoxuan's wild thoughts. This unlucky guy seemed to be furious. He should be the first marrow-absorbing monster to be pulled out.
The handsome face was twisted by anger, and the long golden hair slowly rose, as if a gust of wind blew up, and wisps of blood appeared on his body, winding like a snake. The marrow-absorbing monster said something in an unknown language, and the solemn look seemed to be praying to someone.
I don't know when a strong wind blew in the room. Qiao Xiaoxuan knew in his heart that all the doors and windows were closed, which was not normal, but nothing happened tonight was normal.
The woman in front of her became more and more solemn. Her right hand holding the sword tightened slightly, and her body arched slightly, like a strong bow full of power, bursting out at any time.
Suddenly, a burst of dark light flashed out of thin air, and the whole room darkened, and only the cold moonlight fell faintly, "Jittering!" The screams resounded all over the field, as if tens of millions of sparrows flew in.
There were no sparrows, but tens of millions of bats appeared in this small study out of thin air. The bats flapped their wings and stirred up a tornado.
Boom!
A big hole was opened in the roof, and the trend of rupture has been spreading towards Qiao Xiaoxuan and the two.
The hurricane stirred up pieces of paper flying all over the sky, but it could not get close to the woman within three feet. Qiao Xiaoxuan was surprised to find that there was a seemingly empty aura surrounding the two people. The bats rushed to the front of them in an instant and hit the aura wildly, but it was blocked three feet away by the rising five-colored smoke.
The woman's left hand knot was raised obliquely in front of her, with five colors of brilliance, which was the source of the five-colored smoke. She was still muttering something in her mouth, but she read it quickly, and Qiao Xiaoxuan couldn't hear it. Maybe it was a true spell or something.
When he said that, Qiao Xiaoxuan only felt that his eyes were bright, as if the sky was bright. The woman's body was shining with a bright light, like a bright pearl in the night sky, exuding a breath of compassion and solemnity, and she was as glorious as gods and demons.
The woman was surprised, and the sword in her hand flew out of her hand, like a wandering dragon going to sea. It was extremely flexible and graceful. The three-foot sword light swallowed on the sword, and the spirit snake spit out a letter. The long sword turned into a streamer and shot at the bat group. In the breathtaking scream, the body of the bat fell to the ground was just on the ground. After staying for a second, it turned into black smoke and dissipated.
The long sword circled several times and killed countless bats. The few bats left were very afraid of this endless power and fled. In a blink of an eye, the whole room was empty.
The woman did not pursue immediately as Qiao Xiaoxuan expected. Instead, she stood in place. The five-colored Lanyan did not put away, but closed her eyes and seemed to be listening carefully.
Only a bright moon is still hanging high in the sky. Everything calmed down. Qiao Xiaoxuan stood in the atmosphere and did not dare to take a breath. Obviously, the bat was transformed by the marrow-absorbing monster. Now the woman has escaped without a trace but does not pursue it. There is only one reason. She judged that it was the enemy. In fact, the marrow-absorbing monster is not far away. At this time, careful listening should be to find this guy. This is related to whether Qiao Xiaoxuan will have another neighbor who sucks the marrow in the future. Of course, he dares not disturb him at all.
The solemn atmosphere makes time flow extremely slowly. It seems that the damn marrow-absorbing monster will suddenly come out and launch the most vicious blow. Qiao Xiaoxuan's heart, which does not know what is afraid of, is unconsciously a little nervous.
buzz!
The long sword suspended in mid-air made a sound of a dragon, and flew to the empty space next to it. Then, the woman suddenly opened her eyes and shot three feet of fine light. She waved her hand to attract the long sword. The light flow rotated around, and the thrilling sword spirit was like a circle of water waves. The whole roof was completely separated from the villa under this blow. The marrow-absorbing monster also appeared. He was squatting on a crumbling bookshelf, holding the broken tooth in his hand.
Between the body was exposed, the marrow-absorbing monster immediately exerted its strength, leaving a shadow between its wings and running out of the door. The woman stepped forward, flashed, and went out of the door in one step. The long sword in her hand shook the light and chased the figure of the marrow-absorbing monster to change her sword moves.
Qiao Xiaoxuan chased out and saw that her poor living room had become a battlefield for two people again. The woman stood in the middle, and her footsteps were never three feet away, but the marrow-absorbing monster kept leaving a figure everywhere in the living room at that terrible speed, and the top revolved around the woman.
It's not that he doesn't want to escape, but that he doesn't have a chance at all. There is a long sword in the distance behind him. Once he escapes the battle, he has to drink hatred on the spot.
The sword light became more and more dense, and the empty sword spirit interweaved a big net. The marrow-absorbing monster had hit the sword spirit several times. The long sword in the woman's hand was like a leather whip, constantly beating the top, making him unable to stop. At this time, he can't help but keep looping, otherwise he will be entangled by the sword net, which is the beginning of his defeat.
The two men generally changed their moves and sound bursts. Ordinary people like Qiao Xiaoxuan feel dizzy and nauseous when they look at the living room. It is really difficult to bear the feeling of this space being distorted.
The marrow-absorbing demon monster was injured by Tianlei. The beginning of the pursuit was already exhausted. Originally, when he saw Qiao Xiaoxuan, he thought it was the blessing of the demon god. He took a mouthful of blood and fought with the woman again. How could he know that he chased after him as quickly as others? I really didn't know why the Oriental monk was so tired. How did he understand what it was? The unity of heaven and man, what does it mean to attract the spirit of heaven and earth? I thought that he also fought with his own cultivation.
Wings of black smoke in the air continue to emanate from the marrow-absorbing monster and are shattered by the sword spirit that follows it. At this time, the marrow-absorbing monster has overdrawn energy and will fall to the ground at any time. After three minutes, he will become the first marrow-absorbing monster to be consumed by the enemy.
The dog jumped over the wall, and the rabbit pedaled the eagle. Everyone had desperate tricks. Of course, the marrow-absorbing monster was no different. He glanced at the long sword behind him and simply crossed a heart. The bat wings behind him suddenly stretched outward. Thousands of sword gas were pulled by the air machine and rushed up like a swarm of bees. The air was "sucking" in the air, and the marrow-absorbing monster screamed screamed. Sound, dark red blood splashed out.
