"Stop it." A voice suddenly sounded, and unexpectedly it really stopped the fighting on the battlefield.
Of course, it's not because this man's voice has any magic power. The main reason is that the people fighting on both sides seem to be hesitant.
Benkei here said from the beginning that his purpose was just to prevent Linton and his party from passing this bridge. He never said that he had to take your lives. It was just that the people here have been uncooperative and insisted on forcing their way through.
, will start a fight.
In fact, the elite team here is almost the same. In fact, just the name Benkei makes them somewhat undecided about killing each other.
For example, if one day you encounter a famous general like Qi Jiguang or Yue Fei who suddenly resurrects and seems to have become a villain and becomes hostile to you, will you hesitate when fighting them?
Hasegawa Horihei and others are currently experiencing similar psychological activities. To put it simply, they are fighting and fighting. The murderous intention on both sides is not very strong.
People on both sides looked in the direction of the sound, and what they saw this time was a man in black robes...or they were not sure whether he was a man or not.
The main reason is that the opponent's size is really a bit small.
Benkei here is as big as 2.5 meters, while the guy in black robe opposite looks like maybe 1 meter. This feels like the height of a halfling, and the contrast is particularly obvious. Of course, in this world,
It is not too unusual for species such as dwarfs and halflings to appear.
Because you can tell from the other party's voice that the other party is definitely not a child's voice, and it sounds quite hoarse and old. Therefore, even if the other party is wearing a black robe that almost covers his whole body, no one will think that he is a child.
"Who are you?" Benkei asked first, pointing his naginata directly at the opponent.
These words also made the elite team stunned for a moment. They thought that the man in black robes was from Benkei's side, but it turned out that Benkei didn't recognize him either?
"Haha, have you forgotten me? Old man." The voice of the man in black robe can even be heard as he smiled bitterly, "Yes, after all, so many years have passed, and even I have almost forgotten your face.
Already."
"You...who are you?" Benkei here seemed to recognize the other person's voice, but suddenly became a little confused.
The man in black robe here did not keep playing mysterious. After hearing Benqing's words, he immediately took off the black death hood and mask on his face, and the exposed face made everyone look stunned.
This is a face that looks very, very old. Yes, the entire face has been wrinkled together, the eye sockets are deeply sunken, and the whole person is as thin as firewood. It looks like a mummy.
Moreover, the other party's eyebrows and beard are quite long, but if they are not taken care of well, they look very sloppy when they are curled up into a pile.
Everyone also understood that this guy was no wonder he was so small. His whole body was stooped and his back was a bit hunched, so he looked so small.
In short, he looks like... a centenarian, and he looks like he is going to die at any time.
However, the other person did not come in a wheelchair. He looked like he was walking on his own. It can only be said that at such an age, he can come to such a place, especially when there are strange crows chasing people around. This old man is obviously
Something is not normal.
"It's a human being..." None of the people present could feel the demonic aura on the other person's body. This guy who looked like a centenarian was actually actually a human being.
From what he just said, does he know Benkei?
This is unlikely. The era in which Benkei lived was eight or nine hundred years ago. Although this old man looks really old, he cannot be eight or nine hundred years old.
Everyone looked at Benkei, wanting to see his reaction. After all, when he took off his hood, he obviously wanted Benkei to recognize him, right?
However, Benkei looked at him for a long time with an "I don't know him" expression on his face. But he didn't say it directly, maybe because he still felt a little familiar?
"Sure enough, am I so old that you can't recognize me?" The old man here sighed.
"You...who are you? I always feel that you are familiar, but I must have never seen you before." Benkei asked again.
"Old man, it's me, Haizun." The old man sighed and said.
"What?" Benkei here trembled. Several people nearby were also stunned when they heard this name. Apparently they all knew who this old man was.
"Who is it?" Yukihira Soma asked softly to Nakiri Erina next to her.
Obviously, although he knew Benkei, he had never heard of Haizun.
Next to him, Nakiri Erina rolled her eyes at him, and then whispered: "Hitachibo Kaizon, another general under Minamoto Yoshitsune, is his right-hand man like Benkei. However, it is said that he suddenly died in the final battle.
Escaped from the battlefield, retreated into the mountains and forests. And then gained immortality..."
"Immortal?" Yukihira Souma looked at the old man in front of him in surprise, "So he really lived from Benkei's era to now?"
"It's...possible..." Nakiri Erina looked at the old man here who looked like a mummy, and then said.
"Haizun? Is that you?" At this time, Benkei also seemed to recognize the old man in front of him. Although the old man's appearance and voice had changed, he always felt a bit familiar. Thinking about it now, it might be because
After all, the look in the other person's eyes was that he was a comrade who had fought side by side. He had just been resurrected, so he obviously still remembered it.
"It's me." Hitachibo Haizun nodded, "Nice to see you again, old man."
"You...how..." Benkei still didn't accept Hitachibo Kaisun's current appearance. After all, in his memory, Hitachibo Kaisun was a brave and skilled warrior like him, and his figure was slightly smaller than him.
It's just a little smaller, and it can definitely be called strong. But the one in front of me...
"In the Battle of Eikawakan, I escaped from the battlefield. By chance, or maybe it was a curse, I got an immortal body. More than eight hundred years have passed now." Hitachibo Kaizon here said simply.
"You escaped from the battlefield? How is this possible? It wasn't at that time..." Benkei obviously didn't believe this. He was about to ask more carefully when he was suddenly interrupted by Hitachibo Kaizun.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, old man." Hitachibo Kaizun said, "My lord is in danger, we have to save him."
"What do you mean? My lord asked me to stay here and not let others pass." Benqing said immediately.
"This is a trap." Hitachibo Kaizun said, "My lord's master has been controlled by evil spirits. He summoned my lord here to do harm to my lord."
