Chapter 345: Mysterious Old Man
I searched upstairs and downstairs and still found nothing, so I walked out of the tall building, and the street was still in order, the trees on both sides of the street were still lush and thick, and some of the houses had collapsed.
I was a little irritated, and I searched like this to no avail, when suddenly something flew by on the top of a tall building behind me!
I quickly turned around and found that the thing had flown to the roof of the second floor, I hurried up the stairs, and as soon as I reached the roof, the thing flew up to the third floor again!
The high-rise building has four floors of heavy eaves, each with an extended roof of glazed tiles, and although the gaps are overgrown with weeds, only the beams on the top floor have collapsed, and the other floors are still intact.
It was too late to run the stairs, so I jumped directly onto the glazed tiles and looked up, and that thing was actually a chubby black cat!
A pair of round green eyes stared at me, full of vigilance and uneasiness, and when they saw me looking at it, the black cat barked vigilantly, and then jumped quickly towards the roof!
How could there be a cat in this place? And it's fat and shiny! This cat must have been fed! Otherwise it wouldn't be so fat!
I put the knife back into its sheath and continued to track it down, if I turned on the Celestial Eye Divine Power and suddenly grabbed it, it should be fine, but what I'm interested in is its abode!
Since it is fed, it means that there are people living in the abandoned city! This person may know Lu Xiong's whereabouts!
So I jumped up and down from one rooftop to the other with the cat, who was very cunning, and took me to the wooded or overly structured buildings, trying to get out of me by the holes in the broken walls.
But its little brain is useless, as long as it gets into the hole, I immediately use my divine power to grab its tail and pull it out, and then throw it into the open area, the cat finally knew that I was a terrible opponent after several twists and turns, so I jumped into the street and ran wildly!
I followed it all the time, and the guy ran fast, digging into the cracks in the bricks, and I followed it all the time, and ran for about twenty minutes, and there were many independent courtyards on the street in front of me, which were the kind of independent courtyards enclosed by walls, the antique kind.
The cat rushed directly into a courtyard, ran into a brick hole in the door, and disappeared after a few clicks! There is a cat hole under the side of the gate, which is the door left by the ancient people for cats, and this design is no longer seen in modern buildings.
Looking up at the gate, the gate in front of me is actually well maintained, the black lacquer gate is shiny, and it is estimated that the owner often tries it.
I knocked on the door, but no one answered, so I stepped aside to take a closer look at the high wall and saw that it was about two meters high, which was exactly the distance I could climb!
So boost the divine power in the body, jump up lightly, below is actually a garden with abundant flowers and plants, there is also an ancient pavilion in the garden, there is an ancient wooden building in front, it looks ancient, the wooden building has about four floors, one layer shorter than the previous building.
From a distance, I saw the cat running to the eaves of the second floor, and it actually turned around and meowed at me, and then jumped into the paper door upstairs with its fat body, although it was fat, but it could not affect its speed. Looks like this is where it lives!
I pulled out my long knife, rolled over and jumped onto the roof of the second floor, and then jumped into the corridor, which was lined with white paper doors with plum blossoms and orchids depicted on them.
Gently push open the paper door, inside is a clean room, the four walls of the room are Bogu shelves, Bogu shelves are placed on the circle chairs with strange shapes, I have seen such chairs on the cultural relics channel, it should be a product of the Ming and Qing dynasties, I didn't expect this place to have it!
There is still a door in the room!
Moving on, I heard a cat meowing in front of me, and continued to push open the paper doors, and found that the mechanism of those paper doors was very sensitive, probably due to the effect of regular use. It seems that this place is indeed inhabited!
At last I saw the cat! It was a dimly lit dark room, and the dark room was full of thread-bound books, and in the mess of books sat an old man! The old man was dressed in an old long, wide-sleeved robe, his eyes were closed, and his body was as thin as a mummy, and he looked like he was dead. Surprisingly, the old man's nails were very long, and they looked shiny and metallic.
The black cat was obediently coiled at his feet, like a good doll.
"Does the old man live here?" I asked with the courage to ask, but the old man still did not move like a wooden clay sculpture, and I stepped forward cautiously, but I did not expect the cat to be angry, and it blew up at me!
"Who are you, how dare you come into the ruined city?" an old voice suddenly sounded in the room! I was startled, and looked at the old man, and found that he was still holding his eyes closed and not saying a word, as if he had not said it at all.
I felt a little furious in my heart, although I had the experience of not seeing each other, but this scene was indeed terrifying! Especially the black cat's eyes were so green!
"I'm sorry old man, I came here to find a friend, we had an agreement before, he will wait for me here!"
"Friend? What friend would dare you come in? Doesn't he know that this place is a dead land?"
Originally, I wanted to tell him Lu Xiong's name, but after thinking about it, I would like to say something else: "Old man, speaking of which, my friend still has a little connection with this place, and this place has his mentor who preaches and teaches his profession." ”
"Oh, can you still find Master in this hellish place, really imaginative!"
"This is not an imagination, my friend's master's name is Wu Hai, and I heard my friend say that Master Wu Hai was also born here!"
The old man's voice was still cold, but when he heard the name Wu Hai, his body trembled slightly.
"There are no friends of you here! There is no Wuhai! Go back quickly, you are not welcome in this place!"
The old man's tone was cold, and he actually gave me an eviction order.
My anger also rose: "What do you mean, old man, since this place is a ruined city, then everyone can come!"
The old man's eyes suddenly opened, and in the darkness I saw that his pupils were actually green!
"Young man, it's too late to turn back! I advise you to take your friends away quickly, you can't stay in this place!" the old man's expression was very ugly, and his body trembled a little.
"No, I won't leave if I can't find my friend!"
The old man stared at me for a long time, and his dark and green eyes made people feel cold: "I know the purpose of your coming here!
I was shocked by this, how did he know our purpose? Could it be that Lu Xiong was really arrested by him?
"Don't be delusional! There is an old man in one day, don't think about the idea of treasure cheats! Those are the inheritance of the ancestors, how can you bastards take them!" The old man's eyes became more and more hot, and he looked like an old wolf.
"You're thinking too much! We're here just to find Lu Xiong! As long as we find him, we'll leave immediately!" It is estimated that nine times out of ten, Lu Xiong was arrested by him, or killed by him, I will stabilize him first to find out the situation.
"I knew you were here for that kid! To tell you the truth, Lu Xiong is my apprentice, Wu Hai is my apprentice, and now Lu Xiong has violated the door rules, I must punish him, you outsiders had better not meddle in your business!" the old man said viciously.
He is actually Lu Xiong's master! Wu Hai still has a master here, this is really surprising. I heard Lu Xiong say that Wuhai Kung Fu is very terrifying, and his master must be more awesome, so I decided not to entangle with him, after all, there must be an injury when the two strong fight.
"Okay! I want to know what rules Lu Xiong has broken against you? How are you going to punish him? As his friend, I should have the right to know, right?"
"Since you are his friend, you must also know that their master and apprentice colluded to steal the treasure here, right? They actually took advantage of my retreat to quietly resell the inheritance of the ancestors and lose it, I must settle this account!" The old man's tone became more and more angry, and the green light in his eyes looked even more gloomy, and the fat cat was directly motionless, and it was estimated that it was also frightened.
"Do you want to know how I punish him? It's easy! I'm going to bury him alive in the grave of my ancestors, I'm going to let him die in the curse of my ancestors!"
