160. People in prison
The wooden door on the wall opened.
The energy on the four large arrays did not dissipate, but turned into a dragon-like entwined spiritual power, and clusters of energy fluctuations like purple lightning and blue frost swirled and exploded. This large array was guarded on both sides of the wooden gate, and even if the people inside wanted to break out, they would be blocked by these four large arrays.
The room is only three zhang long and two zhang wide, and it is a veritable small room.
However, unlike Xia Gui's imagination, this is not an airtight small black house, in the direction of the northeast corner of the room, about knee height, a small hole the size of a fist has been dug.
A ray of light peeked through the small hole, bringing the only light to the cramped, dark room.
Maybe because no one has taken care of this room for many years, when the wooden door was opened, Xia Gui actually smelled a musty smell, and there were some other inexplicable smells, which made Xia Gui frown slightly.
A tall figure, with his back to the wooden door, sits facing the small circular hole. In the dim light, Xia Gui could only see the outline of his back.
This person's clothes were ragged and tattered, and he really hadn't changed them for many years, and he was reluctant to shake the dust away with his true qi. A thick beard covered his shoulders, making him look a bit like a wild man in the mountains.
The wooden door had been opened, and the man seemed to be unconscious, and he didn't even have the urge to look back. He just sat cross-legged and silent, facing the round hole, as if he was sitting down.
This person should be the legendary master of the Long River Realm.
Seeing this back, the two soldiers outside the door took a few steps back with a little fear. Although this person only left a back, it also made people outside the door tremble.
"Brother, let's take one last look at the blue sky and white clouds, and then we will take one less look. The soldier in front said sympathetically.
The older soldier's brows moved slightly, as if he was infected by some kind of tragic emotion, and did not urge Xia Gui to enter.
Xia Gui glanced at the two of them gratefully, "Thank you two for sending me here." Brother Bu is right, life and death are fate, I will go in. ”
"Go ahead. Brother Bu nodded, his drooping eyebrows revealing a sad look.
Before entering the door, Xia Gui couldn't stop beating drums in his heart, would this weirdo kill himself directly?
But Xia Gui thought about it, it must not be. This strange man still pointed to using his own head to make up enough six hundred, and now he must be reluctant to kill himself.
So Xia Gui clenched his fists and strode into the wooden door.
After he stepped into the room, the streamers on the door frame quickly drilled into the runes of the four third-order large arrays, and with the sound of "squeak" closing, the wooden door finally closed, and the third-order defense array was also blessed to the entire room, making this place a solid prison again.
When the wooden door was closed, the room was even darker, except for a beam of heavenly light through the small round hole that came out, and the rest of the room was dark. This place is even darker than Xia Gui imagined.
"Bang bang".
Xia Gui could almost hear his own frantic heartbeat, and his heart was almost popping out of his chest. After all, when you come to a strange place and face a mysterious master, it is human nature to be afraid.
Xia Gui tentatively took two steps forward, but the man seemed to be deaf and didn't pay attention to himself. He just sat cross-legged as if he were dead.
With the help of the faint light of the sky, Xia Gui finally saw his clothes clearly.
Countless knife marks and sword marks covered his clothes, and hideous scars were revealed. Accompanied by a fishy smell, Xia Gui was surprised to find that this person had been sitting quietly with a body of blood for a long time, and it was only then that he could mix such a peculiar smell.
He was not young, he should be in his early forties, about the same age as his father. It's just that this person's back is more majestic than his father's, fierce and brave, like a ruthless general on the battlefield who was born and died.
At this time, Xia Gui felt a sense of regret in his heart, if he had known that he would meet such an opponent, he would not choose the gladiatorial arena if he died.
When Xia Gui was secretly complaining to himself, Boudan suddenly said: "You get closer, the old man wants to take a good look at him." ”
"Isn't it?"
Xia Gui's heart sank, he didn't want to provoke this terrible opponent.
"Go!" Boudin urged.
Xia Gui hesitated for a moment, but finally took two steps closer.
Although Xia Gui was reluctant to get close to this person, the teacher's order could not be disobeyed, maybe Boudan had excellent eyesight and could discover this person's Achilles' heel?
At this moment, Xia Gui was only three steps away from this person, and the dim sky light shone on the back of this person, and his hair that was scattered behind his back was extremely unkempt. One after another, the powerful true qi spread out from this person's body, and it was actually a sense of aggression, and the surrounding air was stirred by him, Xia Gui only felt that his hairs stood on end, and an indescribable sense of danger surged into his heart, and his body couldn't help but take two steps back.
This is also a normal reaction, after all, in the face of an opponent who is much stronger than himself, he will always subconsciously retreat.
Boudin suddenly laughed, "Huh." ”
"Why is the teacher laughing?" Xia Gui asked vigilantly.
Boudin said: "Fate is really mysterious. ”
"Mysterious?" Xia Gui wondered.
Just when Xia Gui was full of doubts and confused, the majestic figure actually moved, and the person who was sitting in danger and did not move slowly turned around.
As he swirled, the light in the room changed slightly, and this master of the Long River Realm finally revealed his true colors.
With the help of the light that came in from the small hole in the northeast corner, Xia Gui finally saw the person's face. Even though he tried his best to suppress himself from exclaiming, he still let out a muffled snort from his throat when he saw the face.
Because of long-term malnutrition, the man's hair was pale and yellow, and his face looked particularly terrible under the unkempt mess. Curling scars covered his cheeks, making it almost impossible to distinguish his face. The longest scar actually crossed the left forehead diagonally to the right side of the face, straight through the left eyebrow, left eye, the bridge of the nose, and the corners of the lips, like a hideous and terrible trench!
This man's face was covered with scars, and it was so tragic that it was almost disfigured!
"How could it be ......" Xia Gui's face was full of shock.
For a master of the Long River Realm, it is impossible to let so many scars on his face.
You must know that a master of this level will always learn some healing techniques, as long as the treatment is timely, even some extremely deep skin injuries can be restored under the warmth of true qi, even if it is delayed for a while, it will not leave this kind of disfiguring injury.
And the warrior in front of him, whose face was full of holes and had reached the point of disfigurement, was really incomprehensible.
Unless...... He left it on purpose!
The warrior opened his mouth and said in a very hoarse and deep voice, "Please be seated." ”
Have a seat?
Xia Gui was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the first thing this warrior said when he opened his mouth was "Please take a seat". It's a bit like a long-lived guest entertaining a visitor.
Xia Gui hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down slowly, an old man and a young man sitting in a circle, but five steps away.
"Teacher, this man ...... What's the situation?" Xia Gui pinched a handful of sweat in his palms, and didn't dare to look at this person more.
Boudin said: "Hehe, this is an old acquaintance." ”
"Who is the old acquaintance?" Xia Gui's heart froze, and his suspicious gaze looked at the opposite cheek again.
"Take a closer look. Boudin said.
Xia Gui opened his eyes wide and carefully identified it, and through the messy scars on this person's face, he finally saw clearly his rectangular face, the lion's nose that bulged out like a mountain range, and two thick long eyebrows. In my mind, an image overlapped with this person......
Thinking of that name, Xia Gui's heart fluttered in his chest, almost popping out.
"Do you see that?" asked Boudin.
Xia Gui pressed his pounding heart and asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, do you know what the Canglong, the Divine Phoenix, and one thing are." ”
In other words, when I heard these two inexplicable terms, it was an ancient beast of gods and ghosts that the priests said, even if they couldn't answer it, they wouldn't think much about it. However, the big man in front of him, his body was trembling as if he had been struck by lightning, and then he stared at Xia Gui, the look on his face changed from shock and joy to many times in an instant, and then he stood up excitedly.
"Canglong is the right wing, Shenhuang is the left wing, and the Middle Route Army was reorganized before the war, called Taotao. The man replied in a resounding voice.
Xia Gui took a deep breath, this person clearly explained that this is the name of the left, center, and right route armies, and what is even more rare is that the middle route army had been reorganized before the war, called gluttony, and almost not many people know about this matter, only the commander himself, members of the royal family and the generals who fought at that time.
An answer was already coming out of Xia Gui's chest, but he still needed to confirm it further, and Xia Gui threw out a more private question, "What do you mix with yam and rabbit legs?"
In other words, in the face of this problem, from mythical beasts to wild meat, he will secretly scold this as a neurosis, but this person showed a smile of understanding, and replied unhurriedly: "Yam rabbit legs are mixed with sorrel, and the food is exhausted." ”
On a certain expedition, the king of the Southern Wilderness ordered him to go out with the army in order to let Xia return to experience and experience. During the war, the enemy burned down the granary, thinking that when the ammunition was exhausted, everyone fled to a plain full of sorrel, that is, digging yams, catching rabbit legs, using sour sorrel as a sauce, and having a full meal, they actually launched a Jedi counterattack, breaking out of the encirclement and escaping.
Afterwards, the general composed a poem, two of which were: "The yam rabbit leg is mixed with sorrel, and the grain is exhausted." ”
Both of them had already stood up, staring at each other with excitement on their faces. These two questions made the two people sure of each other's identities.
The big man trembled, turned over and knelt down: "The last general, Wodin, see the six princes!"
