Chapter 386: A Gambling Contract
"Of course! Every plant and tree here is all arranged by me! There will be no second person! The old man said proudly!
In fact, Mu Zi also felt that the old man should be the founder of this world, although he was a bit of an old naughty boy, but the momentum exuded by his body was by no means comparable to ordinary warlocks.
In fact, the old man's shelf of the ancient road fairy style that he held up at the beginning was really bluffing.
It's a pity that I met Mu Zi and Xue Jincheng, who were extremely determined.
"I don't know what the seniors call them?" It was Xue Jincheng who was questioned this time.
With such an ingenious technique, Xue Jincheng didn't think that he would be an unknown person.
"Oh, just call the old man senior! Hehe, call it so, and you won't suffer! The old man grinned and rubbed Ahri's hairy head, thought for a while, and said, "As for the old man's name, no one has called it for fifty years!" In a few years, I'm afraid I'll forget! ”
"Why did my predecessors live in seclusion here? Is it to escape the feud? Mu Zi thought so in her heart, so she asked.
Such a direct question did not disgust the old man, but he was a little happy because Mu Zi called himself a "senior", put the little Ahri in his arms on the ground, and let it play by itself, and then the old man touched his white beard, still smiling, "It's not a feud, it's just a bet with someone when I was young!" ”
Bet? Mu Zi and Xue Jincheng glanced at each other when they heard this.
"When I was young, I didn't understand life, I didn't understand people's hearts, but I was young and frivolous, and I made a bet with someone without thinking about it, and it didn't hurt if I won, but if I lost, that is, if I can't do it, I can no longer enter the rivers and lakes, and I can no longer associate with any people in the rivers and lakes." The old man still looked happy, as if he was saying something interesting, but Mu Zi and Xue Jincheng were slightly cold in their hearts.
Because of a gambling contract, he took his whole life.
"What were you betting on?" Mu Zi was silent for a moment and asked.
When the old man heard this, his eyes couldn't help but look at the Duobao Pavilion not far away.
Mu Zi and Xue Jincheng looked over with his gaze, and what was placed on the Duobao Pavilion was not any rare treasures, but delicate toys such as Kong Ming locks and magnetic bead balls.
The old man's gaze was fixed on the top floor of the Duobao Pavilion, where a black box was placed.
The old man got up and took the box, put it on the small square table in front of the three of them, and smiled lightly, his smile was a little bitter, "The bet is to open this box." As long as I can't open it for a day, I won't be allowed to enter the rivers and lakes for a day. ”
The so-called box was made of wood, blackened throughout, without any processing or decoration, only its own dark brown vein.
said that it was a wooden box, but Mu Zi believed that it was a piece of wood.
Because there are no cracks in its whole body, anyone who sees it will probably not think that this is a box that can be opened.
However, when I think of the rock wall on the stone cave, I can't see any gaps, but it is divided into countless pieces, which can be freely expanded and combined.
Perhaps, this wooden block is the same.
Mu Zi was pondering the black box, but Xue Jincheng was pondering the person who gambled.
The man must have figured out the old man's temperament.
Not to mention anything else, just by looking at the fact that he kept his promise to stay in this mountain for 50 years, and did not use any violent means to open the box, we know that he has a noble heart and is a square person.
