Chapter 1071: The Old Man of Guzhai
"Who are you?"
Li Chen can be sure that he has indeed not entered the cottage yet, and there is indeed no one around him. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info even his perception can't perceive the existence of anyone around.
But where did this sound come from?
Li Chen was a little curious, but he didn't have any other emotions.
In this world, there may really not be many things that can make him afraid.
Just when Li Chen was still thinking about what was making a sound, An Cheng on the side finally reacted, stepped forward, and said with some respect: "An Cheng, the twenty-seventh generation patriarch of the Waishan An family, came to place the ancestral land. ”
"Oh, settle down?"
The voice hesitated, then fell silent.
It was a moment before the voice remembered again.
"It seems that there is indeed such a surname, but since you have already chosen to go out, why do you want to come back?"
"I'm here today...... It's something to ask for. An Cheng hesitated for a moment and began to speak straight to the point.
"What is it?" the voice also seemed a little hesitant.
"This ...... Say here?" An Cheng said in a daze.
"Ah...... That's right, it's not good to say here, you come in. The voice hesitated, and finally slowly disappeared.
At the same time, the gate of the cottage not far away was slowly opened.
And in the same way, Li Chen didn't see any figures.
"Huh?" From the very beginning, Li Chen had been compressing the range of his perception.
The smaller the range, the clearer the perceived content becomes.
It wasn't until just now that Li Chen noticed a trace of abnormality from his surroundings.
Beneath their feet, there seemed to be several ant-like creatures crawling slowly. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to detect the difference between these little bugs and ants.
But Li Chen felt it, and the vibration of the voice just now seemed to be transmitted from the bodies of these little insects.
"Gu worms can still be used like this? Li Chen nodded secretly, and then walked into the ancient cottage in front of him with An Cheng.
After walking into the gate of the cottage, Li Chen realized that as he saw from the outside, there was indeed no one around the gate.
But next to the gate, there is a rope for opening the door.
At the ends of the rope, however, are ring-shaped iron cages containing wild beasts.
And on the head of the beast, there seems to be some kind of unknown little bug, once these little bugs bite the beast, the beast will go crazy in the cage.
When the beast moves, the rope will be pulled by the force of the ring iron cage, and the door of the cottage will be opened in this way.
"I didn't expect it to be a high-end product. Li Chen was a little surprised.
According to An Cheng, this is an extremely old cottage that has not been in contact with the outside world for hundreds of years. But the insects on the heads of those beasts are clearly Gu worms.
And this way of opening the door is also an effect achieved by moving the Gu worm to physics, Ancheng's cottage does not have this kind of high-end product.
Seeing this scene, it was obvious that An Cheng's surprise was not small, and the whole person was even more dumbfounded.
"Come here. At this time, an old man with a withered face walked out from not far away, and slowly beckoned to the two and said.
Li Chen and An Cheng were puzzled for a while, but they still walked in the direction where the old man was.
Under the guidance of the old man, it didn't take long for the three of them to come to a somewhat decaying house.
In addition to the old man who showed them the way, in the house, there were three other old people.
"No one has been here for many years. In a few years, you may not see a few of our old men. An old man said with a smile.
However, at this time, several old people were sitting at a table wrapped in thick cotton clothes...... Rub mahjong!
"Come on, come on, I'm going to win!" one of the old men, who was chewing on an unknown piece of grass, looked at the old man who was guiding Li Chen and the others, and beckoned.
Li Chen and An Cheng glanced at each other, both speechless.
They thought a lot about it, including many ways to meet, but in the end, they didn't expect it to be like this.
Don't blame them, when they were outside before, the atmosphere created by the sound from somewhere was too weird.
However, the reality is a little different from what they imagined......
"Huh!ha!" An old man suddenly lifted the mahjong in front of him and said loudly with a laugh.
The other three sighed with a sigh on their faces.
It was only at this time that a few people looked at Li Chen and the others: "You two said before, there is something to do here?"
"That's right. Li Chen organized his words for a while, and then he spoke: "I have a very good friend who has been poisoned by a Gu poison that I have never seen before, and I heard that this is the birthplace of Gu art, so I asked Patriarch An to take me to try my luck." If a few seniors can help, the juniors will be grateful!"
Li Chen's language is very sincere, and his purpose is very straightforward, without beating around the bush. He understood that it was better to keep it simple when dealing with such an isolated old man.
Hearing Li Chen's words, several old men glanced at each other, then looked at Li Chen and said, "What kind of Gu is among your friends?
When Li Chen heard this, he nodded hurriedly, and then handed over the Gu poison that An Cheng had finally refined to a few old men.
The Gu poison was contained in a small bottle, and several old men took turns to open the bottle, watching and sniffing carefully, looking very serious.
After a while, several old men put down the bottles, but their faces looked a little inexplicable.
"You Gu, do you know who ordered it?" the old man asked.
"I don't know yet, but I'm sure I'll find him. Li Chen nodded.
"Can you find out...... That's it!" an old man snorted suddenly.
Li Chen heard that something was wrong with the old man's voice, and couldn't help but look over with some curiosity, but found that the faces of several old people looked a little unsightly.
After being silent for a while, one of the old men suddenly spoke: "We can indeed solve this Gu." And the method of lifting can also be taught to you. However, we have one condition, I don't know if you can agree to it. ”
"Conditions?" Li Chen nodded, these old men didn't owe him anything, a conditional deal was the fairest, and he also recognized this kind of deal.
"As long as it's within the range of what I can accept, all conditions. Li Chen said calmly.
Hearing this, several old men smiled.
"Deal. (To be continued.) )
