Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 1074: The Unrivaled Grace and Glory of the Moon

Behind the dark city gate.

Several blurry black shadows looked at the city gate, and finally looked at each other in confusion.

It seemed to be asking who closed the door.

"Who?"

One of the shadows even came forward to the door and asked curiously, speaking a very strange language. However, through mental fluctuations, most creatures could understand what it was.

There was no response from outside the door.

At this moment, another shadow pointed outside the door, indicating that the person who closed the door must still be there. Should we open the door and deal with him? But the shadow shook his head, as if to say that it was a good thing that he closed the door, otherwise the majestic middle-aged man would have run away.

Majestic middle age?

They slowly turned their heads to look at the majestic middle-aged man who seemed frozen. However, their eyes soon fell on the left side of the majestic middle-aged man's waist...

At this moment, the majestic middle-aged man did not dare to move, and let the white and tender little hand gently pull his robe, and the pale face was oozing with cold sweat. He felt that this little girl in the red dress was becoming more and more weird and scary. It was very likely that she was related to the prehistoric Tianzun, and it was even possible that she was born after the death of the prehistoric Tianzun.

Could it be that the prehistoric celestial being was a woman?
He searched frantically in his mind for various legends about prehistoric female celestial masters, hoping to find one or two. After a while, he actually found a female celestial master in various folk legends...

He just couldn't be sure if it existed.

Is it just a legend?

After pondering for a while, he said respectfully: "Excuse me, sir, are you the Moon Lord from the ancient times?"

The little girl in the red dress tilted her head and was stunned for a moment, as if she was talking to herself: "Yue Tianzun? This name sounds familiar, Yue Tianzun..."

She was whispering.

At this time, it was the majestic middle-aged man's turn to be stunned. Yue Tianzun was just a legend circulated among the people. No one took it seriously. Could it be that he really existed? He just wanted to delay time.

He wasn't sure now.

"Uncle, can you tell me about Yue Tianzun? Xiaoxi seems to have heard of her name, but can't remember her."

The little girl in the red dress said.

Xiaoxi?

The majestic middle-aged man was stunned again.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that this strange little girl seemed to have said his name several times.

I actually forgot?
However, it seems that this strange little girl has really heard of Yue Tianzun? Yue Tianzun is just a legend.

Then...

At this moment, the majestic middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Legend has it that Yue Tianzun was born in the prehistoric times and was one of the most terrifying beings in the prehistoric times..."

"She has an extremely beautiful face and a pair of bright eyes, with an extraordinary temperament and unparalleled elegance. Her voice is lively, ethereal and unpredictable. Although her tone is cold, ruthless and frightening, it is also gentle, delicate and captivating..."

After a while, the majestic middle-aged man talked a lot about the folk legends about Yue Tianzun.

"Is she very beautiful?"

The little girl in the red dress tilted her head and asked with envy.

"She is very beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the history, with unparalleled grace and beauty, and no one can compare to her!" the majestic middle-aged man exclaimed, and spoke with great sincerity, as if Yue Tianzun really existed before the ancient times.

"Whose eyes are bigger, hers or Xiaoxi's?"

The little girl in the red dress poked her head out and stared at the majestic middle-aged man with her bright big eyes.

The dignified middle-aged man lowered his head and "looked" at the little head sticking out, not knowing what to say.

This is a ghost thing.

Not to mention she's a human, she's not even a ghost. He still has no idea what kind of existence this little girl in the red dress is.

"Uh……"

For a moment I didn't know whose eyes were bigger.

If someone says that Yue Tianzun has big eyes, will the little girl in the red dress be unhappy? If someone says that the little girl in the red dress has big eyes, won’t Yue Tianzun’s character be ruined?

“Whose eyes are bigger?”

The little girl in the red dress asked with her eyes wide open.

"Your eyes are slightly bigger, but Yue Tianzun's eyes are brighter than yours."

A dignified middle-aged man with a serious look on his face.

"Are my eyes really bigger than Yue Tianzun's?" The little girl in the red dress looked a little excited and said, "Hehe, Xiaoxi's eyes are bigger than Yue Tianzun's eyes..."

"Certainly."

The dignified middle-aged man nodded.

At this time, several blurry black shadows not far away were looking at them in surprise. What was going on?
They looked at the little girl in the red dress in confusion. Should they take action?

"Alas, Xiaoxi should be very familiar with her, but Xiaoxi just can't remember her." The little girl in the red skirt sighed, "Xiaoxi thinks that Xiaoxi should be very close to Yue Tianzun..."

"..."

The majestic middle-aged man was full of doubts, does Yue Tianzun really exist?

This little girl seems very familiar.

"Uncle, please send Xiaoxi home. If you send Xiaoxi home, Xiaoxi will return her eyes to you, okay?"

The little girl in the red dress said, pulling the majestic middle-aged man's robe.

"..." The dignified middle-aged man was silent. After a few breaths, he said, "May I ask where Miss Xiaoxi's home is?"

"there."

The little girl in the red dress pointed to the end of the street.

The dignified middle-aged man turned his head and "looked" and said, "It's very close, you can just walk straight, why do you need your uncle to send you?"

"not close."

The little girl shook her head and then lowered her voice and said, "Uncle, there is a ghost on the bridge. Xiaoxi is afraid of ghosts."

"ghost?"

The majestic middle-aged man was stunned. Shouldn’t the ghost be afraid of you?
In addition, there are several blurry shadows guarding behind the city gate. Each of them is an emperor-level being, and it seems that they have a great relationship with you.

Wouldn't it be nice if they gave it to you?
snort!
There must be something wrong with his intention.

However, he did not say it out loud, as if he was considering it, and said: "Is there a ghost on the bridge? Is it scary?"

"There are all kinds of ghosts. It's scary." The little girl nodded like a chick pecking at food and said, "Xiaoxi doesn't dare to walk alone."

"Besides the ghost on the bridge, what else is there?"

The majestic middle-aged man asked.

The bridge the little girl was talking about should be the stone arch bridge connecting the inner city. This bridge is indeed not simple. No wonder I could see it.

"besides……"

The little girl fell silent, seemed very scared, and dared not say anything more.

"What else?" The dignified middle-aged man asked hurriedly, wanting to know what exactly is in the inner city. "If you don't tell me clearly, your uncle won't be able to send you home, right?"

"And, and..."

The little girl frowned and finally whispered, "There is a ghost exactly like Xiaoxi in my house."

"..."

The dignified middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding, and asked curiously: "A ghost that looks exactly like you? What do you mean? Is there a ghost that looks like you?"

"No."

The little girl shook her head and said, "She looks exactly like Xiaoxi, she's not an illusion..."

"is it?"

The dignified middle-aged man frowned, somewhat confused about the situation, and said, "Is she scary? Why is she in your house? Maybe she is your sister?"

"No."

The little girl shook her head and begged, "Uncle, can you take Xiaoxi home? As long as uncle takes Xiaoxi home, Xiaoxi will return her eyes to you? Okay?"

"... uh, okay."

The dignified middle-aged man could only agree. "Uncle, let's go." The little girl pulled the dignified middle-aged man's robe and said, "It's very late now, otherwise the ghost on the bridge will come out."

The dignified middle-aged man could only turn around and walk to the end of the street with the little girl.

Several blurry black shadows looked at each other, as if asking whether they should make a move. But in the end, they still didn't make a move...

And outside the city gate.

A white shadow that had disappeared reappeared in front of the city gate and walked forward cautiously, trying to eavesdrop on the situation inside.

Unfortunately, I didn't hear anything.

He was hesitating whether to push open the city gate and go in...

……

……

A strange black fog filled the dead city, covering the entire city like smoke, giving the dead city a strong sense of haziness and weirdness.

The dignified middle-aged man walked forward cautiously, a small hand pulling at his robe around his waist.

Those vague black shadows disappeared without a trace, and the monster covered in scales never appeared again.

The dead city was silent.

There was only death and weirdness in the air, which made people nervous.

Soon, he finally reached the end of the street, where there was an inner river with a series of quaint stone arch bridges built on the river. Thick black fog rolled over the other side, making it difficult for him to see the inner city clearly...

"Uncle~"

At this time, the little girl seemed to become very nervous and scared, and shrank behind the majestic middle-aged man.

It seemed that even his eyes were filled with fear.

"what happened?"

The dignified middle-aged man asked, and also became extremely nervous.

Since even the weird little girl was afraid of it, how scary could it be? At this moment, he was looking at the stone arch bridge carefully...

"Xiao Xi is afraid~"

The little girl said timidly, shrinking her neck.

"Don't be afraid, uncle is here." The dignified middle-aged man said. In fact, he was not afraid of ghosts, but was a little afraid of little girls...

This little girl is so weird.

Apart from the power of the Thunder Pool, no other attacks can cause any harm.

"Uncle, can you go to the bridge first and take a look?"

The little girl said.

"Okay, uncle will go check it out first." The dignified middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before saying, to see if there was a chance to get rid of the little girl. He felt that this little girl might be the most bizarre and terrifying existence in the dead city.

As long as we get rid of the little girl, we might have a chance to escape.

As for the good fortune of the prehistoric Heavenly Lord, he no longer wanted to think about it. The most important thing was to escape...

The stone arch bridge is very simple, made of white jade, with carvings of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, fish, flowers, plants and trees. Although the carving lines are very simple, they have a special charm and look lifelike.

For example, when looking at the engravings of the sun, moon and stars, he seemed to see a deep starry sky.

See the stars moving, the sun and the moon rotating.

This……

The majestic middle-aged man was a little shocked.

These carvings seem to contain profound Taoist ideas, and it is possible that they were carved by the Holy Emperor of Creation himself.

wrong!

As he looked at more and more engravings, he had already denied the Holy Emperor of Creation.

This may have been carved by Tianzun himself.

These engravings contain the meaning of the Heavenly Venerable's thoughts. If a Great Emperor could comprehend one or two of them, it would definitely be of great help in his or her journey into creation.

As I walked and looked, I unknowingly came to the highest point of the arch bridge...

He saw a corpse carved on the bridge, which was as thin as a withered corpse, and it seemed that only black skin was left. The corpse was covered with white hair, its eyes were red like cinnabar, its fingers were like hooks, and its teeth were exposed outside its lips, like sharp blades...

He frowned. Could this be a ghost?
It's just a picture.

However, doesn't this picture of ghosts carved on the arch bridge seem quite out of place with the pictures of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers?
Why is this ghostly pattern carved on the bridge?
The dignified middle-aged man actually started thinking seriously and for a moment forgot about escaping.

Strange.

He thought about it, and then turned back to show the little girl that there was no ghost on the bridge. But he was stunned for a moment. Shouldn't he escape quietly?

Why do you still think about her?
When he turned around, his expression suddenly changed as he saw the ghostly patterns carved on the bridge surface, which now came alive.

A hideous-looking mummy struggled out of the pattern.

A foul stench rose into the sky, so smelly that it made people doubt their lives, and it seemed as if even the soul had a sense of smell.

He almost covered his nose and ran away.

call--

The mummy quickly struggled out, stretched out its hands and held them in front of its chest, staring at him evilly with a pair of red eyes...

boom!
The majestic middle-aged man slashed it down with a sword.

The sword is powerful and unstoppable, capable of destroying heaven and earth.

boom!
However, the mummy's head was as hard as iron and stone, and it blocked the sword of the majestic middle-aged man with sparks flying.

This shocked the majestic middle-aged man. How hard must the skull be to be able to withstand his sword? Is the azure gold hard enough? However, he could split the azure gold with just one blow of his sword...

boom!
At this moment he chopped down again.

boom!
The skull of the mummy, emitting sparks, once again blocked the sword of the majestic middle-aged man.

But at this time, the mummy was angry. After being slashed twice by the sword, he was immediately furious. With his hands in front of his chest, he suddenly pounced on the majestic middle-aged man.

boom!
When the sword fell for the third time.

He punched out, and a huge golden fist mark instantly hit the chest of the mummy. However, the chest of the mummy did not break, it was only knocked back two steps.

The majestic middle-aged man looked horrified. What kind of monster is this?

The defense is so terrifying?
Invulnerable?!

When the majestic middle-aged man was fighting fiercely with the mummies.

The little girl in the red dress squatted by the bridge, watching the fight with her chin supported by her pale hands.

About half an hour later, the dignified middle-aged man retreated down the bridge with wounds all over his body, and said to the bored little girl: "Miss Xiaoxi, the evil ghost on the bridge is too powerful, uncle can't beat it."

"Uncle, don't lie to Xiaoxi." The little girl stared at the majestic middle-aged man and said, "Xiaoxi can see that you didn't use your full strength. Come on, uncle will definitely be able to defeat the evil ghost, no, this is a zombie..."

"Zombies?"

The majestic middle-aged man frowned.

Such ghosts do exist in the universe, with different names, but none of them are so scary that they are invulnerable to swords and guns.

"Well, this evil ghost is called a zombie..."

The little girl nodded and urged, "Uncle, go and kill it quickly. I can definitely do it. Remember to do your best."

The majestic middle-aged man was speechless.

He really didn't use his full strength. If he had, he would have been able to fight the zombies. Besides, he also had the race's innate magical power, the golden lightning mark.

It’s a pity that too much of it was used before.

Now he couldn't use it anymore, and even if he did, its power would be greatly reduced. He was still thinking about recovering secretly and preparing to give the little girl a fatal blow.
