Chapter 3641 Old Friend
"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 the bridge, and he never said that he had to take your lives. It's just that the people here have been uncooperative and have to force their way in, so they start fighting.
In fact, the elite team here is almost the same. In fact, 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, he 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 after fighting, and 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 a black robe...or they were not sure whether it was a man or not.
Mainly because 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, it is not too unusual for species such as dwarfs and halflings to appear in this world again.
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 pointed his naginata directly at the opponent and asked first.
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 robes here can even be heard as a bitter smile, "Yes, after all, so many years have passed, and even I have almost forgotten your face. ”
"You...who are you?" Benkei here seemed to recognize the other party's voice, and 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 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 wood, looking like a mummy.
Moreover, the other party's eyebrows and beard are quite long, but if they are not taken care of properly, 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 little hunched, so he looked so small.
In short, he looks like... a centenarian. He looks like he is going to die at any time.
But the other person didn't come in a wheelchair, he looked like he was walking on his own. It can only be said that for such an age to come to such a place, especially when there are strange crows chasing people around, there is obviously something abnormal about this old man.
"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 recognize him" expression on his face. But he didn’t say it directly. Maybe it 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 should have never seen you before." Benkei asked again.
"Old man, it's me, Haizun." The old man sighed and said.
"What?" Benqing here trembled. Several people nearby were also stunned when they heard the 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. But 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 Soma 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, Benqing also seemed to recognize the old man in front of him. Although the other party's old appearance and voice had changed, he always felt a little familiar. Now that I think about it, it might be because of the look in the other person's eyes. After all, he was a comrade who once fought side by side. He, who had just been resurrected, 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 his. It's just a little smaller, but it can definitely be called a strong one. But this person 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. Just as he was about to ask more questions, he was suddenly interrupted by Hitachibo Haizun.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, old man." Hitachibo Kaizun said, "The master 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, "The master of the lord has been controlled by evil spirits. He summoned the lord here to do harm to the lord."
