Darkness of Darkness

At one point, the old man took a few deep puffs of the cigarette, and the wrinkles on his face became more numerous, and he tapped the accumulated soot with his thin hands.Hai Wei knew it without asking, it seemed that there was something bothering him.

In the quiet room, the sound of waterwheels in the pool outside the courtyard can be clearly heard, and the sound of water droplets dripping from time to time is also clearly discernible.Haiwei knelt and sat there, probably he was going to be preached by Wu Shou first.But the old man didn't seem to be angry, but first expressed his condolences, "Is the injury better? I heard that the injury is serious...?"

Haiwei's injury was indeed serious, even when he was sitting now, he felt a tingling pain on his back, so much so that his forehead was covered with fine sweat.But even so, he still said, "It's a lot better, just rest for a while after cleaning up."

Wu Shou is well aware of Haiwei's current situation, he really did not expect that Lian Bai would suffer such a serious internal injury, let alone Haiwei, what a stubborn brat.Wu Shou simply let Haiwei sit a little more relaxed, so as not to cause deep damage to the wound. "The Code...was taken away?" Wu Shou asked, and a trace of disappointment appeared in the corner of his eyes.Such a dangerous law code has been taken away by evil people, I really don't know what the future of this world will look like.

Hai Wei also nodded at this, he didn't speak, because he felt that there was too little he could do this time.And it actually put Bai into a dangerous situation.But there is one thing that makes Haiwei care more now—is the old man just asking this?

Wu Shou once again took a puff of cigarette, his face was more dignified than ever before, Haiwei had to admit that the old man had never shown such a dignified expression, as if he had suffered a disaster of exterminating his family, and this disaster must hold his head high Facing it with his chest up, his expression seemed to reveal a trace of despair.

"Haiwei." The old man finally spoke, his tone was so heavy that Haiwei couldn't breathe, as if he had fallen into a dark abyss without light, and the old man's next sentence seemed to be that line. The rope, Haiwei couldn't wait to grab it, so that he could escape this abyss earlier.

"The Shengu family... has guarded this monster sword for thousands of years, from ancient times to now. But, I guess... we are doomed." Wu Shou's words shocked Haiwei, Ten fingers couldn't help but tighten the corner of his clothes.

Haiwei's pupils widened, trying to keep his voice calm. Even so, he took a deep breath before speaking, "What do you mean?"

The air in the room seemed more dignified, weak as if it had been filled with lead, the yin-yang robe on the wall was blown by the evening wind, the fluttering sleeves added a strange color, and the tatami seemed to be about to rot , Haiwei felt that the dignified aura had even invaded inside, intending to completely corrode the shrine.

The old man took out a purple-black feather from his sleeve, and on it, there were seven red marks painted on it like paint. "I didn't expect... that evildoer has returned. We only have seven days left." It was completely beyond Wu Shou's expectation. It would take at least decades for Gu Huo Niao to master that kind of power. Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out—she has been swallowed by darkness.And the seven-day countdown... the final decisive battle will eventually come.
