Chapter 5 The Old Orion

On top of this dark blue nebula, stood a thin old man wearing a fat gray-white animal skin robe.

The old man was gray-haired, wrinkled, and gray-bearded. He carried a large black bow and a broad sword on his back, in standard old Orion attire.

The most strange thing is that in the eyes of the old man, there is actually a phantom of dark blue stars. This phantom is not produced by looking at the stars in the night sky reflected in the pupils, but seems to come naturally from the pupils of the eyes. Internal growth is normal.

The old Orion first carefully looked at the seven footprints a few inches deep and the two deep pits in the shape of footprints ten feet in size left on the ground, and then looked up at the Big Dipper in the northern sky.

"The power of the strong starlight fluctuates. Not long ago, I sensed a change in the Big Dipper. It should be that someone has used a powerful star technique related to the Big Dipper. Such a star technique must at least be at the blue star level to be used, and this Da Mian Apart from me, there is no other Blue Star Realm Astral Body in the mountains, who is this person?" The old Orion looked at the Big Dipper with a serious expression on his face, and whispered to himself.

If someone here heard the voice of the old Orion at this time, they would definitely feel very strange: it was obviously an old man with white hair and wrinkled face, but the voice that came out was the voice of a young woman who was melodious and pleasant.

Immediately afterwards, the phantom of the dark blue stars in the eyes of the old Orion began to rotate, releasing a dazzling light... He saw a barely visible light green band, spreading from here to the mountain road leading to the bottom of the cliff go.

The color of the pale green light band was extremely dim at the beginning, and as it headed towards the mountain road, the color gradually deepened a little.

"The remaining power of starlight?" the old Orion whispered to himself.

Then, he closed the nebula, concealed the phantom of the dark blue stars in his eyes, and walked cautiously along the direction of the mountain road where the green light belt extended.

……

Two hours later.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the moonlight is like water. At the end of the mountain road leading to the bottom of the cliff, there is a creek beach covered with rocks, on which grow clumps of reeds as tall as two people and some withered and yellow weeds.

In this piece of reeds, there is a thin figure, staggering with small and difficult steps. This person is Li Kang.

Normally, it would only take him a quarter of an hour to walk here from the top of the cliff, but now it took him a full two hours.

At this moment, his wrinkled face was covered with cold sweat, and his face was as pale as paper, as if a gust of wind could blow this body apart.

Suddenly, Li Kang stopped.

Through the moonlight, he saw a body in white clothes lying in the weeds twenty feet away in front of him.

He knew that this was the person who had haunted him all his life—that beautiful, kind, hardworking, energetic Chu Wan'er, but now she had become a cold corpse...

Seeing this, Li Kang wanted to speed up his pace and rush forward, but his body was so old that he couldn't even walk a little faster. on the beach.

His arm was scratched by a stone, and the dark red blood flowed out from the wound, staining the stone under his body red.He didn't know the pain at all, he just struggled to stand up and walked to Chu Wan'er's side quickly, but this body no longer obeyed his commands.

Li Kang clenched his teeth, supported the stone with his thin hands, propped up his upper body tremblingly, and tried to stand up with his feet.

The next moment, he heard a "plop" sound, and he fell heavily on the creek beach again. Standing up has become a luxury.

Unwilling to give up, Li Kang tried several times in a row, but without exception, he fell heavily on the creek beach again...

His anxious eyes were blood red, and he stared closely at Chu Wan'er's body in front of him, panting heavily.

Li Kang knew that it was impossible for this frail body to stand up, so he gritted his teeth and used his elbows instead of his feet to rub against the stones, driving his body towards Chu Wan'er's difficult position bit by bit. move away...

It took an entire hour, Li Kang used his elbow to move a distance of twenty feet, and finally reached where Chu Wan'er was.

He supported the stone with his arm tremblingly and stood up his upper body. The animal skin sleeve on the arm had been worn away by the stone, and his elbow was also worn out. The dark red blood stained the tattered sleeve.

Li Kang bent down, stretched out his skinny hands, exhausted his last strength, and gently and gently hugged the cold Chu Wan'er in his arms.

Her beautiful face is as pale as paper, her eyes are closed tightly, there are bloodstains at the corners of her mouth, and there are still wet tears at the corners of her eyes...

At this moment, Li Kang's vision was blurred, and tears flowed out of his bloody eyes uncontrollably, falling drop by drop on Chu Wan'er's pale and beautiful face.

In Li Kang's mind, the scenes of him getting along with Chu Wan'er naturally appeared.

One day ten years ago, a little girl like a porcelain doll came to Huzhai, wearing a red floral dress, braiding two braids, and having big black eyes. She was as beautiful as a little fairy.

Li Kang, who was unable to move around in a small wooden wheelchair, met such a beautiful little girl for the first time, and had friends for the first time...

Later, she massaged his feet every day, chatted with him, told him interesting stories, and sometimes brought him back delicious wild fruits for him to eat. When he was unhappy, she would try to make him laugh...

Li Kang's originally dark world, full of decadence and despair, has been illuminated by a ray of light, and his world has brightened since then!
……

These pictures are so beautiful, so beautiful that it breaks Li Kang's heart!
Li Kang was thinking, thinking, sometimes talking to himself, sometimes laughing softly, sometimes crying, sometimes... like a crazy old man.

In a thicket of reeds far away from him, there was a pair of eyes staring at Li Kang's every move without blinking. In these eyes, there were phantoms of dark blue stars emerging. There is a touch of sadness that cannot be concealed, and I don't know whether it is sad for what happened to Li Kang and Chu Wan'er, or because of my own past.

The owner of the eyes was the old Orion who followed Li Kang all the way secretly. He listened carefully to Li Kang's soliloquy, and finally understood the whole story.

The bad old man in front was originally a 15-year-old boy named Li Kang, who was from Huzhai.

The reason why Li Kang changed from a youthful boy to a gray-haired old man was because a young man named Li Qingsong forced his Chu Waner to death. Shouyuan and natal astrology that have been around for decades.

"This blood-recommended seven-star skill can actually make a young man with only the first rank of the green star realm show the strength of the blue star realm. This skill is really overbearing. I must get the blood-recommended seven-star skill from him. This star skill will avenge me It is of great use." The sadness in the eyes of the old Orion has disappeared, replaced by excitement and excitement, staring closely at Li Kang in the distance, talking to himself in his heart.

"How can I get Li Kang to hand over the Seven Stars of Blood Recommendations to me?" The old Orion stared at Li Kang in the distance without blinking, and muttered.

He knew that he would not be able to take tough measures. This Li Kang did not hesitate to burn his lifespan and his natal star image for revenge, and Li Kang's performance on the way from the top of the cliff to here all shows that his character is resolute, Strong, if he forcefully persecutes him, he will definitely rather break the jade than smash it.

Suddenly, the old Orion had a flash of light in his mind, he thought of a way, his eyes shone brightly, and he stared closely at Li Kang in the distance...

"Aww", "Aww", "Aww"

The shrill howls of wolves sounded suddenly, like the sound of a demon calling for death.

The howling of wolves seemed to be a pair of invisible hands, pulling Li Kang back from his good memory to the cold real world.

Hugging the cold Chu Wan'er tightly, the fragile Li Kang showed nervousness in his eyes. He saw fifteen pairs of eyes shining with green light ten feet away in front of him, staring at him viciously. and Chu Wan'er.

These are fifteen wolves as tall as a person. Their sharp sword-like fangs shone coldly under the moonlight. Li Kang could faintly see blood from the fangs and smell a strong bloody smell.

"What should I do?" Li Kang's brain was spinning rapidly.

"Now, I don't even have the strength to scare the wolves by throwing a stone. Could it be that I have become the prey of the wolves today?"

Li Kang's heart was full of unwillingness.

He hasn't collected Chu Wan'er's soul yet, and hasn't reshaped her body yet!
Before he had time to tell Grandpa, Li Qingsong and his son were going to set a trap to kill him!

He has not killed Li Qingsong and his son, revenge!

He hasn't destroyed the huge behind-the-scenes manipulator of the Great Qin Dynasty yet!
He hasn't...

Li Kang has too many "not yet" to do, he is not reconciled, not reconciled, not reconciled! ! !
However, what's the use of being unwilling, the big hands of fate have already ruthlessly pinched his throat...

The wolves stepped forward, their green eyes, like sharp life-threatening swords, approaching Li Kang and Chu Wan'er little by little...

Li Kang saw the white breath exhaled from the mouths and noses of the wolves, and smelled the stench...

There was despair in his eyes, he turned his body with all his strength, pressed Chu Wan'er under him, clasped Chu Wan'er's ten fingers tightly with his hands, and protected her with his thin body. She: "If the wolves want to eat, they should eat their own body first. This may be the last thing I can do for Wan'er!"

Then, Li Kang felt that two mountains were about to come down on his eyelids, and he was exhausted.

At this last moment, he felt a gust of wind blowing, and vaguely saw a gray-white figure passing by.

Immediately afterwards, Li Kang's eyes saw blood red, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face, and he also smelled a nauseating strong smell of blood.

"Did the wolves start eating my body?" Li Kang had this last question in his mind, and then, his eyes darkened and he passed out...
