Rebirth of the Phoenix

Mysterious visitor

It's early summer again.

In the evening, the sun had already set, but the remaining power was not diminished, making the pedestrians' bodies sweat.

A person, facing the sunset behind him, slowly walked towards the town, attracting many people's attention.

This is a big town near Tiandu. There are many business travelers. The residents and merchants in this town have seen the world and will not be easily attracted by anyone. This person can attract so many people's attention because

His clothes and attitude were a bit weird.

The weather is very hot, and there are many pedestrians wearing hats and hats, but looking at his figure, he is obviously a man, but he is wearing a hat that only a woman can wear, with a veil covering her face, through the thin black veil

, only vaguely could tell that it was a young man, but he couldn't see his face clearly.

What should a man cover his face?

Could it be that it is disfigured or that it is naturally ugly?

He is tall enough, neither fat nor thin, with perfect proportions of limbs, and straight and elegant posture. He wears an ordinary blue shirt and walks in the sun without wind, but there is a kind of thing coming with the wind and following the wind

The elegance and immaculateness of the journey make people pleasing to the eye.

It would be a pity for a man with such a figure and demeanor to have an ugly face.

Everyone sighed in their hearts.

In addition, the man was covered in dust and seemed to come from afar, but he didn't wear anything except a strange, black rectangular iron box in his arms, and looked a little weird.

There were people coming and going on the road, and he was walking among many people, but like he was the only one left in the world, everything around him had nothing to do with him.

For some reason, when someone walks to him, he will automatically avoid him and keep a certain distance from him, just like there is an invisible wall next to him, separating him from the people around him.

Such a person is really strange. Those who sit under the shade of trees, rest in the house, enjoy the cool air, and eat can't help but guess his identity.

When you walk into the town, there are uneven but very lively shops and inns on both sides.

He only looked at it for a few seconds and walked into an inn next to him that looked clean and beautiful, but not many guests.

As soon as he stepped into the store, the waiter ran over and said attentively: "This guest official, do you want to stay in the store or eat?"

He said lightly: "Everyone wants. The room needs the best, and the food needs the best. I want to eat first."

The waiter responded loudly: "Okay, please sit down and the food will be served immediately."

The man picked a table in the corner and sat down, carefully placed the box in his arms flat beside him, then poured a cup of tea and sipped slowly.

After entering the room, he did not take the cover, and his face under the veil was still unknown.

At the table on the other end of the hall, several men with strong scent of the world were drinking and eating meat in big mouthfuls. They looked very generous, but their eyes always glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, and sometimes exchanged glances with each other.

The man didn't even notice the eyes of others, but just drank his tea quietly.

Looking at him, his eyes turned from curiosity to sympathy, because those people in the martial arts world are not good things, but the famous local snake in this area, specializing in stealing, specializing in robbing, and have no background and backing.

The local government turned a blind eye to them with travelers.

Single travelers like him seem to have mysterious things, and are the easiest to be targeted.

The exquisite three dishes and one soup and steamed buns were served. The man ate very slowly and ate very gentlely. This elegant eating and sitting appearance is very well-educated and inconsistent with his ordinary outfit.

It only takes two quarters of an hour for someone to eat such a meal, but he ate half an hour and ate all the food.

Then he walked to the counter and checked out.

The price of this meal, plus a good room for one night, was not low. He took out the silver directly, without any sign of being tight.

A few people in the martial arts world saw it and felt that he was a rich man who was hidden deep, especially the rectangular iron box he had been holding in his arms. You could tell at a glance that his treasure was placed inside. They were very

Want to grab it.

While paying the man diligently, the shopkeeper tried to see his face clearly, but when he was so close, he could not see clearly because of the black veil.

He only saw clearly that the man had a pair of hands with white skin that was almost transparent, slender and thin fingers, and extremely beautiful shape. There were some faint scars on these hands. He felt that he had suffered a lot of injuries, but he was well maintained.

People generally have status, but are in danger.

The shopkeeper immediately felt that the man was a dangerous person.

He looked at the people in the martial arts world. If they attacked this person, they might suffer a loss. The things hidden in the box may be treasures, weapons, or something more dangerous may not be necessary.

However, he is just a businessman who makes money with kindness and does not want to offend anyone, so he doesn't care about anyone's affairs.

The man settled the bill, held the box and went upstairs.

When he returned to the room, he fell asleep, still holding the box in his arms.

It was late at night, and the guy brought in as he ordered, and brought in a clean set of clothes.

The man then got up, walked to the edge of the bathtub with the box in his arms, took off his clothes, stepped into the bucket, sat down, and then opened the box.

It's hot in summer and the windows are open.

The back street of the inn, outside the window of this upper room, there was a big tree and a figure. He climbed up the big tree with ease, lay on the branch, looked into the room, and saw it at a glance.

A picture of a man opening the box.

He was so lucky. He thought to himself that he saw the box open as soon as he came up. What kind of treasure would be in this box?

The man turned his back to him and was immersed in the water. He could only see the man's black hair, but the box was full and clearly seen.

The moment the box was opened, he held his breath, opened his eyes wide, and stared at the box intently, thinking that he could see some treasures.

The man picked up something in the box, white, round, and quite large, something slightly shining under the reflection of the candlelight.

It must be a treasure! The man on the tree smacked his lips greedily and crawled forward involuntarily, trying to see clearly and see clearly.

Soon, he saw this thing clearly, but at the moment he saw it clearly, he was like a cat who saw a ghost, so scared that his hair stood up all over his body, and he screamed and planted it from the tree.

Several companions who were hiding in the dark saw him fall down, cursed a few times, flashed out, and surrounded him: "What did you see? Is there anything dangerous inside?"

"Why did it fall down so well? Did you eat too much tonight..."

...

The light that shone from each room shone on the man's face. The man's face was pale, his eyes were distracted, his mouth was wide open, his mouth was opened and he wanted to say something, but he "woo um um" for a long time, and a word was gone.

I couldn't say it, but his horror was strongly conveyed to his accomplices.

"Are you a hell?" an accomplice kicked him and cursed, "Why can't you even say anything?"

"Ghost..." The man burst out with a word for a long time, his body trembled and his voice trembled, "That person... no, it's abnormal..."

"What?" The accomplices didn't hear it clearly and approached him, "Speak clearly, should we do it now?"

The man swallowed and said in a hoarse voice: "That person is not, it's abnormal..."

"Why is it abnormal?"

The man thought of the strange and gloomy scene he had just seen, suddenly screamed, suddenly got up, pushed his accomplices away, ran out and ran out.

Those who dare to do this job are all those who are brave enough to be brave. There are no uncommon people who die and often break into cemeteries. However, the tomb just now still scared him...

It was a living nightmare. He never wanted to go to that person and that kind of scene again in his life, although he never saw what that person looked like...

Several accomplices looked at each other. What was going on with this kid? Is it really a damn thing?

"Boss, what should we do now?" asked one person.

The "way-exploring" ran away, and I don't know if the goal is dangerous. Should I do this job?

The boss thought for a while: "When he turns off the lights, we'll go in and get them."

No matter how you look at that box, you feel like you have put a good baby, and that person doesn’t look like a powerful person. How can you be worthy of their reputation if you don’t take that baby away?

"Yes." A group of people were filled with profit and agreed.

In the room, the mysterious man finally finished taking a shower, covered the box, changed into clothes, held the box, and turned off the lights to fall asleep.

There was no movement in the room.

The other rooms were dark, and everyone fell into a deep sleep.

The night is very deep and very heavy.

Several figures sneakily and silently climbed up the second floor, and crawled into the room through the wide open window.

There are many people during the day, and it is difficult to start. There are no one on the road at night, and the targets are all living in the house. They choose the time at night and directly "go to the door" to get money. They are all locals, and they take some unrighteous and unfair money from outsiders to support their lives.

The whole family is not too much, and the local government will not pursue them.

The room was dark and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Except for a few muffled groans and impacts, there was nothing in the room.

After a night, the sky turned from gray-black to gray-white. The man wearing a hat and holding a long box went downstairs, had breakfast in the hall, took a pot of water and a few steamed buns, and left.

The shopkeeper saw that he didn't lose anything, and he was a little surprised: those bandits didn't rob his things?

Last night, he clearly saw those people sneaking in the back street of the inn. Didn’t he do it?

He shook his head, too lazy to think about it.

After dawn, the guests checked out one after another, and the waiter cleaned up the room.

Not long after, the waiter screamed when he went to the room. After hearing this, the shopkeeper and other friends quickly went upstairs to check it out and were frightened by the scene in front of him.
