Chapter 639: Bronze Bridge Lock Suzaku (Ninety-Nine)

After explaining the thin man, Sanqing closed his eyes and felt it, he felt that the old man was in this house, but he couldn't judge his exact location, it seemed that he should be able to avoid Sanqing.

"Old man, I know you're at home, since you're trying to lure me here, why are you hiding? If you don't want us to disturb you, why do you want to lure me here? I don't like to play dumb riddles, I think you know what I do, if you provoke me like this, I can just take you in!" After feeling the old man's presence, Sanqing opened his eyes, said this, and then began to look around.

After hearing Sanqing's words, the thin man only understood one thing, that is, there was an old man hidden in a corner of the house, and he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, and tightened his clothes.

About half a minute after Sanqing finished speaking, he heard a loud "bang". Sanqing hurriedly looked for the source of the sound, and after a closer look, he found that it came from the room where the villain's books were stacked, so he hurriedly ran over. The thin man followed behind Sanqing inch by inch.

Sanqing walked to the door of the house and pushed the door open, only to find that the villain books that had been neatly stacked had collapsed and scattered all over the ground for some reason.

Sanqing cautiously walked into the room and carefully observed the villain books on the ground. He knew that the collapse of the book was not an accident but an intentional act of the old man, so what did he want to express when he pushed it against the wall of the book? The villain book was completely separate from the others, and it turned a few pages, as if someone had read it halfway through.

Sanqing bent down and picked up the villain book, and saw the story of "Three Visits to the Thatched House" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms painted on the book.

"Three visits to the thatched house?" After seeing the contents of the book, Sanqing said softly to himself.

"Great, master, what are you talking about!" The thin man who followed Sanqing only heard the last two words, so he asked curiously.

Sanqing glanced back at the thin man, did not answer, but directly stuffed the villain book in his hand into his hand.

"Liu Guanzhang asked Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain after visiting the thatched house! I like this story! But, what does this have to do with us!" The thin man glanced at the villain book in his hand, and then became even more confused.

"The old man wants us to follow Liu Guanzhang's example and visit him three times before he is willing to see us! Interesting, in that case, we might as well come and visit the thatched house three times!" Sanqing said loudly, looking at him not like he was answering the thin man, but more like he was talking to something else.

After saying this, Sanqing turned around and walked out of the room, and then walked out of the door of the house directly.

Sanqing waited for the thin man to come out, closed the door, then reached out and knocked on the door, waited for a few seconds, and then pushed open the door and walked in.

"Old man, this is the third time I've come to visit, shouldn't you meet the guests now?" After entering the courtyard, Sanqing said loudly, and then looked at the room where the old man's portrait was placed.

"Young man's brain is good, you can know my intentions with a little click!" After a while, an old voice came from the room, hearing this voice, Sanqing smiled slightly, and walked over, but the thin man was already frightened, thinking that this time he was really going to see a ghost! But he didn't dare to stay alone in the courtyard, so he had to follow hard.

Sanqing and the thin man walked into the room again, nothing else changed, except that an old man appeared out of thin air in front of the table, the old man was dressed in shabby clothes, he looked about seventy or eighty years old, he was sitting on the chair in front of the table, and he looked exactly like the picture behind him.

"Damn, what the hell!" Seeing the old man, the thin man couldn't help but curse in his heart, this old man was clearly the old man he saw two days ago who was setting up a stall at the mouth of the alley, and he didn't even change his clothes, but looking at the photos behind him and seeing that there was no shadow of him on the ground, the thin man knew that this old man was indeed not a human being! Thinking of this, the thin man was chilled all over, and couldn't help but tremble.

"Don't be afraid, boy, I don't hurt anyone!" the old man glanced at the thin man, as if he saw the thin man's thoughts, and then said this faintly.

"No, don't be afraid!" the thin man turned pale with fright when he heard this, and he was afraid of losing face, so he pretended to be calm and said this, but his body still couldn't stop trembling.

"Old man, you brought me here, you must have something to tell me!" Sanqing interrupted the thin man's words and asked the old man.

"Aren't you looking for me too?" the old man asked rhetorically after glancing at Sanqing.

"That's right, I'm looking for you again!, so which of us should say it first?" Sanqing replied in a deep voice.

"Haven't you heard the story of Kong Long's pear, young man!" the old man squinted his eyes and asked after hearing Sanqing's words.

"Since that's the case, then you can say it first!" Hearing the old man say this, Sanqing certainly understood what he meant, so he said so.

"My surname is Lu, and if I lived to this day, I would be ninety years old!" the old man began, telling his story.

"I was born in a landlord family, and I read poetry and books since I was a child, thinking that one day I would be able to gain fame and change the fate of my family, but I didn't expect that the world would change, and in the end, I, who thought I was full of wealth, suddenly became worthless, and finally fell into the field of selling books on the streets. But gradually I also liked this kind of life, I could read books every day, and I could also watch the smiles on other people's faces when they read. But it wasn't until that crazy second child of the Zhang family came to me and said that he wanted to sell me all his books! You said that I was a book seller, and he came to sell my books, of course I refused. But he just didn't leave, and said that as long as one dollar, he could buy all his books! I looked at the several large boxes he brought, and estimated that they could hold hundreds of books, and I could buy them for one dollar, which was a huge advantage, so I didn't hesitate to give him a dollar, and bought his books, and he took the money and ran away, and I never saw him again!" At this point, the old man stopped.

After a while, he continued: "I thought I had taken a big advantage, but I didn't expect that I would cause myself to be killed!"
