Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 23 Going to Jiangzhou
Although they both have the surname "Ma", they are not brothers, nor are they of the same clan.

Martin is not this man's real name, but he changed it himself when he became an adult. He originally came from the Qingma lineage in Northwest China. His ancestors had some relatives with Ma Hongkui, the deputy commander of the 8th theater and the commander-in-chief of the 17th Army during the Anti-Japanese War. It's a pity. When Ma Hongkui fled from Baodao in 1949, he was too hasty and did not bring his distant family members with him.

Ma Yi'ao had been kind to Martin, and Ma Yi'ao was unwilling to mention this matter, but at this moment, his master's life was at stake, so he was finally found.

The two hadn't seen each other for several years. When they saw each other at this moment, they hugged each other tightly, and then they moved into the house to tell each other their parting feelings.

After a while, Ma Yi'ao just remembered to introduce Feihua and me to Martin.

After talking about the past, Ma Yi'ao's face became serious.

He told Martin that he talked about his master, about his master Wang Chao'an being assassinated by the notorious Rat King Prius, and now he is seriously injured and comatose, almost in a vegetable state, and must rely on the legendary Houtu Lingzhu to guide toxins and recuperate body, otherwise there will never be a day when I wake up.

As for the Houtu Lingzhu, legend has it that the Japanese Kato Jihei brought it to the Baxia Secret Realm.

Now, he needs to go to Baxia Secret Realm to find Houtu Lingzhu.

After saying this, Ma Yi'ao looked at Martin and said seriously: "In the world, the only person who knows the entrance to the secret realm under the Baxia is your father; and after your father passed away five years ago, the only person who knows about it is You alone, I am not a person who is willing to trouble others, but this matter is related to the life and death of my master, and I have no other choice..."

Martin listened quietly, shook his head, and said, "No, besides me, I have an uncle who also knows the whereabouts of that place."

"Oh?" Ma Yi'ao frowned slightly and asked, "Then where is your uncle now?"

Martin sighed and said that he had been missing for two years. I had looked for him, but I couldn't find him. Then I thought, he was usually kind to people, and he had no grievances with anyone in the past. It is very possible that this disaster happened just now because I knew the location of Naha's secret realm, which is why I have been living in seclusion.

Ma Yi'ao said that since this is the case, then...

He hesitated, but Martin said with a smile: "Don't worry, after receiving your news, I have already arranged everything at home. It's time for your kindness."

After hearing this, I just found out that Ma Yi'ao's so-called great favor to Martin was to help him find his abducted daughter.

If this is the case, then the rumors I heard before are not false.

It was too late that day, and we didn't set off right away. It wasn't until the next day that Ma Yi'ao brought me, the fat flower that I was desperately entangled with, and Martin, and a group of four embarked on the train to the northwestern part of Jiangxi. .

In 98, the train hadn't increased its speed significantly, and the train was wobbly. When it left Shaoguan and headed north, it rained heavily, and the rain continued, making people feel wet.

This is a torrential rain that occurs once in decades, and it has been lingering since June. According to the newspaper, floods have emerged in several major river basins such as the Yangtze River, Nen River, and Songhua River. The flood control work is very serious. Some people are talking about the flood situation, some are worried, and some have nothing to do with them. As for me, I seem to be a young man who has just tasted the relationship between men and women. I am very obsessed with the matter of cultivation. Sunday, very hardworking.

At the beginning, Martin didn't care about me, but when he arrived in southern Hunan, he felt something was wrong, and asked Ma Yi'ao in a low voice, "This, is..."

Ma Yi'ao just nodded, but didn't say anything.

I'm not sure whether Ma Yi'ao feels that there are too many people around me, afraid that the walls have ears, or whether he respects my privacy. In short, he didn't give Martin a definite answer.

But this also made Martin's attitude towards me change, becoming a lot more polite.

Of course, more often than not, this man appears very silent.

Silent and sloppy, this is my biggest impression of him - his body always exudes a weird smell, his hair is greasy, his exposed skin is dark, and there will be thick dirt when he rubs it casually, his clothes seem to be It hasn't been washed for a long time, and the smell is extremely sour. With such an image, just squat on the street and put a small bowl, maybe you can get ten or eight yuan.

However, Ma Yi'ao didn't care about this situation, as if he couldn't smell the smell of the other party at all, which made me want to ask, but I held back in the end.

Strange people have many eccentricities, I don't want to violate other people's taboos.

All the way north, after arriving in Jiangzhou, it was raining continuously. We stayed near the train station for two days, the heavy rain gradually became lighter, and then we headed towards the suburban counties in the south.

It rained heavily for several days, the roads were destroyed, and the roads were difficult to walk. When we came to a certain town, we couldn't take a car and had to walk.

Along the way, I discovered another characteristic of Fat Flower besides gluttony, that is, she talks a lot.

She always likes to complain. She said that the road is too bad and there is a lot of mud for a while, and then said that the rain is endless, and it is estimated that it will fall again soon after entering the mountain. Let's not be too radical, we must take shelter from the rain And the problem of staying at night, nagging, rarely stop talking, made Ma Yi'ao couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help but said: "Otherwise, you should go back to the city first, we will go by ourselves Just find it."

Fei Hua shook her head quickly, saying how can this be done?I'm not here, what if something happens to you?
Martin said coldly: "We are safer if you are not here."

When Fei Hua heard it, she cried immediately.

She whimpered and said, "It turns out that I am in your hearts like this..."

She was crying, but she didn't stop, and followed us closely.

Look at this appearance, it seems that she is afraid that we will leave her behind.

However, after being silent for a while, she began to babble, babble again.

We set off from the city in the morning, got off the bus at two o'clock in the noon, and walked all the way until the evening, when we came to a mountain col. In the distance, there was a small village swaying in the rain. In the light mist, Martin has been surveying the terrain all the way here, measuring the distant mountain ridges with a weird square, and determining the direction with a bronze compass for Fengshui. He stops and walks, looking very devoted.

And at this time, Fei Hua also stopped nagging in good time, and followed suit, not daring to make a sound.

It wasn't that she was sensible, but she was frightened by Martin's fierce eyes.

When we got here, we moved a little slowly, because I didn't really understand what Martin needed to do, so I was sent to a high slope not far away to watch the situation around me.

I am not against this task. I walked to the top of the slope 50 meters away. There is a camphor tree with a dense canopy. I tried to climb it. My body is much lighter and nimbler than before, and I climbed to the top of the tree just like a monkey.

I climbed to the top of the tree and looked in the direction of the village. It was an underdeveloped village. There were not many small brick houses with three or two floors, but adobe houses could be seen everywhere. It was dinner time at this moment. Cooking at home, the smoke curls up.

I stared at the village for a while, then turned my attention to the forest.

Although the rain is as silky as silk, perhaps because of the blood of the Nightcrawler, my eyesight has been strengthened and I can see farther. Many scenes that I don't care about will flood into my eyes, very deep and clear.

When I was patrolling back and forth, suddenly, I saw a few figures shaking at the edge of the forest hundreds of meters away.

At this moment, night fell and the sky was dark, but after I squinted my eyes, I took a closer look.

There was indeed someone shaking there, I rubbed my eyes subconsciously, and saw someone lift a stick-shaped object high, and then slam it down towards another person.

That one was very decisive, and I felt that the person who was smashed seemed to cry out in pain and fell to the ground.

He didn't move at all, as if dead.

After the murder, the man with the stick seemed to sense something, and looked in my direction. After only a pause of two seconds, he and his companions sneaked into the woods, and I gave the man With a stare, it was as if someone had punched someone in the chest. He couldn't help but leaned back, and fell from a tree seven or eight meters away.

boom……

I fell on the muddy grass under the camphor tree, splashed with mud and water, but fortunately my body was strong, and apart from the temporary pain, I didn't hurt other places.

Not far away, Ma Yi'ao saw it, came over and shouted, "Hou Mo, what's wrong with you?"

I struggled to get up from the mud, and ran down the ground, shouting, "Killed, killed."

Ma Yi'ao walked up to me quickly, stretched out his hand to support me, and said, "Calm down, why did you kill someone?"

I pointed to the direction deep in the forest and told him what I saw just now.

While I was talking, Martin, who was looking at the mountains and water in the distance, also came over. After listening patiently, he looked at the dark mountains and forests in the distance, and said to Ma Yi'ao, "Why, what do you want to do?"

Ma Yi'ao was a little confused, and asked me: "The group of people attacked very ruthlessly?"

I nodded and said yes, I went down with a stick without hesitation.

Ma Yi'ao rubbed his chin and said that a repeat offender, it doesn't look like an impulsive murder, he must have a criminal record...

Martin frowned, so what?What does it have to do with us?Brother Ma, you have to think about it, people who eat public food will naturally do this kind of thing, and your own master is still lying on the hospital bed, not knowing whether he is alive or dead, so you still have the time to care about that shit?
He persuasively persuaded, but at this moment, two strong light methods were fired from a distance, and after shaking once, they landed on several of us.

Immediately afterwards, a voice with a local dialect sounded: "You guys, it's late at night, what are you doing here in the rain?"
