Chapter 277: Plan Execution
Ge Shaoyun protested with a reluctant face, but on this boat, it was not his turn to express his opinion. So he had to be aggrieved and drank a drink bored in the bubble.
"We're here!" said to a piece of land in front of him when it was about to get dark, and he suddenly stood up and said to a piece of land in front of him.
I was already drowsy, but when I saw the boat coming to shore, I also stood up. It wasn't until we got off the boat that we saw the true face of Yingying Continent revealed by removing the cloud and mist barrier.
I've already been here, but I've experienced a lot of things since I came out of the Time Realm, so my memory of this part is not clear. Coupled with the long interval between them, the scenery of this island has changed a lot from before.
It's just that although it is not as prosperous as it was at that time, it is as magnificent as ever.
A red and black tower pavilion stands in front of us, with two big characters on it: "Dianlou". There are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants planted around, and for a time it was unexpectedly fragrant. Before I could fully observe the surrounding environment, I saw a boy in Tsing Yi come to our side.
"Several, my master went out a few days ago and will be back early tomorrow morning. A few of you have come from afar, can you come with me to the guest room first?"
We looked at each other for a moment, then nodded. Sheng Ku said to the little boy, "In that case, please lead the way." ”
Because of the absence of the old man Shisuo, things were far easier than we expected. The boy settled us on the second floor of the building and coincidentally it was the room where we lived back then.
I have mostly forgotten many things in the realm at that time, but I still remember the battle in this mansion. I don't know what method it took to keep the baby in that time and space without me, but it will definitely not be easier than the one I experienced.
"A few people just rest in these rooms, there is no forbidden area in our pawn building, you can walk around when you are bored, and dinner is set in the living room on the first floor. Call me if you need me. With that, the boy saluted us respectfully, and then turned and walked away.
"Squeak~" A sound of the door, I saw the door of the room next to me open, and then poked out the face of a young man with a white face and a white dress, he said in a little panic, "Excuse me, have you ever had a spare towel?"
We all looked over to the man, and then we saw Wuheng take the towel from the boy's hand, and then secretly gave us a thumbs up.
The night seemed peaceful.
At dinner, we had already seen in the hall that in addition to us, there was a bearded visitor sitting in the corner with a big bowl of wine. The two of us at the table exchanged glances with each other, thinking that this was just the role of a passerby, just be careful, so we didn't care about him.
In the second half of the night, I was sitting at the table drinking tea, and suddenly I heard the "click" of the window panel, and I wondered. Because we have already said when we come that no matter what happens, we must not act on our own.
This voice is obviously the sound of someone jumping out of the window secretly because he can't bear it!
I pushed my window open a thin slit, and I saw a man with a tiger's back flashing quickly towards the back of the tower.
At this moment, the window next to me was gently pushed open, and I saw that Shengku poked half of his head out, and then winked at me, signaling me not to meddle. I shrugged helplessly, and closed my window.
Early in the morning of the second day, the boy in Tsing Yi knocked on our door, "Guest, my master has returned, and I invite a few of you to go upstairs with me." ”
When I went out, I saw that the three of us were already walking in front of us. I greeted Sheng Ku and Ge Shaoyun, and slowly followed behind them.
From the outside, the building looks magnificent, but for some reason the corridor is so small. He put his finger on the wall of the hallway, and after a while, he whispered in my ear, "There are mezzanine layers in the walls on both sides of this hallway. ”
I secretly scolded in my heart that this old man of the stone lock was really going to do anything to save his life! No wonder I came here this time, I felt that it was very different from my memories in the time realm, it turned out that this old boy had been renovated!
Just as we were thinking, we had gone up to the fifth floor. Inside are a few small tables, the boy in Tsing Yi guided us to sit on the first one on the left, and Sinian and the others sat on the middle one. Strangely, the big man was gone.
I gently glanced at Sheng Ku and the others, and Sheng Ku nodded knowingly.
"Old Man Shisuo has arrived!" With a child's shout, a thin middle-aged man slowly walked out. He was dressed in a purple gown, but because he was too short, it didn't match his figure.
I frowned, and said to myself that this is very different from the old man I had seen before, could it be a fake?
At this time, the woman who was transformed into Li Mai coughed a few times in time. I glanced at him, and saw that he was secretly waving at me. I don't understand the meaning of this waving hand, is it to say that this old man with a stone lock is a fake, or is it to let me calm down a little?
But I can't make too many moves at the moment, otherwise once it is revealed that the two of us know each other, the rest of the plot will not be easy to end.
I forced myself to settle down, and then watched as the old man had just sat down. "I'm sorry to wait for a long time, the old man has gone out to hunt for curiosities these days, and he will return today. Although he was very tired, he cared for everyone. As long as you have a need, we will be obligated to help you complete it!"
When I heard what he said, I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, saying in my heart that what I said was better than what I sang! I made myself look like a great savior! To put it bluntly, wasn't it an equivalent exchange, and I didn't pay for nothing?
However, I can see from these words that the person in front of me is indeed the real old man of Stone Lock. A person's appearance can be changed, but his heart and the attitude he exudes from time to time will never change.
It suddenly occurred to me that this old man with a stone lock might be used to extend his life in exchange for the life of a person who wanted to do so, so he changed from such an old man who was about to die to the image of the middle-aged man we saw in front of me.
Li Mai must have understood this, so he made a gesture to me not to be exposed easily.
Knowing this, I slowly slowed down my breathing. Seeing that the old man Shisuo came to the desk where Li Mai and the others were sitting, a little boy laid a foreshadowing. The old man sat down in front of them and asked, "A few people have come from afar, but what do you want?"
The woman coughed violently, and then patted Wuheng on the shoulder with her hand. Wuheng understood, so he said to the old man Shisuo, "The three of us are coming...", and glanced in our direction, as if on guard.
The old man leaned forward in a playful manner, and Wuheng whispered two words in his ear. The old man with the stone lock immediately stood up and said solemnly, "Several, you can follow me into the inner room to talk in detail." ”
After speaking, he got up and saluted us, and took Li Mai, Sinian and Wuheng to the back of the huge screen.
I wanted to use the wide-touch technique to eavesdrop, but I was secretly pulled by Sheng's suffering, and then gestured with my eyes to the dull-faced children around me. In fact, I discovered this a long time ago, it seems that these children do not have their own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and even their movements are very mechanical and single. Now that I am being stopped like this, the word "puppet" unconsciously jumps out of my mind.
I had to sit there drinking tea with the two of them, and I don't know how long I had been drinking, and finally, the voice of the old man with the stone lock sounded from behind the screen, "A few of you will go back to the guest room with the child to rest, and we can complete the transaction in the evening." ”
He laughed and instructed the children to lead Li Mai and the others back to the guest room to rest, and then came to our side again.
"I don't know why?"
He sat down indifferently on the other side of the table where we were, and then took the teacup from the little boy's hand. He must have been talking a lot just now, so he drank this cup of tea quickly.
Ge Shaoyun glanced at me, I also looked at him, and then nodded. Na Ge Shaoyun took off the necklace made of the red bow from his neck.
"Let's pawn this. Ge Shaoyun shook the necklace in front of the old man Shisuo, and then held it in his hand again.
The old man squinted his eyes for a long time, but he didn't see what this was. But seeing that all three of us had inscrutable expressions, I breathed a long sigh of relief, as if to restrain my impatience.
"A few, the little old man is shallow and doesn't know what this is, can you break the seal and let the old man have a look?"
Ge Shaoyun glanced at me again, I suppressed his fist, and then said with a smile, "I have heard for a long time that the old man Shisuo is well-informed, so you shouldn't be humble at this time! But whether you see what this is or not, you should also understand that we will not deliberately come to this East China Sea and Yingying Continent to find the unhappiness of the owner of the Dianlou."
So, I'd like to know what we can get away from you. We, the juniors, only care about the immediate interests!"
The old man looked at my face first, and then a sinister and sly smile rose into the corner of his mouth. He stood up, as if he was thinking about something, and then he seemed to have made up his mind and glanced at Ge Shaoyun's clenched hand again.
"Everyone, please come with me!"
After speaking, we were led by the child and went straight up to the sixth floor of the building. A huge black iron door stood in front of us, and on top of it was a huge locked lock.
The old man opened the lock in a few moments, and then led us into the storeroom of the mansion with him.
For a time, all kinds of rare treasures came into view, and they were extremely luxurious. He proudly said to us, "As long as the things you bring are good enough, you can choose what you want!"
