Chapter 36: Carrying a Man on His Back

"Why do you want to show people a look?" Liang Zhen still couldn't help but ask. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Luo Cheng's answer was simple: "Make money." ”

What's the matter today, everyone is shouting to make money, I look like I'm too poor to go home?

"I want to buy a mobile phone."

"That's right. I thought you wanted to pay me back. "Laughs.

Luo Cheng didn't answer him, but talked about his reasons. "From the moment I came into contact with your world, that thing has been with you all the time, participating in all your lives, and I wanted to see if I could fit into that life."

I see, it's rare to see Luo Cheng have such an idea, for a person who keeps hatred in his heart all day long, it's not a bad thing to want to love life.

Liang Zhen's heart has begun to figure out which mobile phone can match Luo Cheng's temperament of a 10,000-year-old iceberg face.

"Does the phone know where you are?"

Liang Zhen came back to her senses from her thoughts: "Huh? Yes, they can be positioned against each other. ”

"That's good," Luo Cheng was faster, walking ahead of Liang Zhen, "I want everything to be within my control, including you." ”

Maybe Liang Zhen didn't see it, the iceberg also has a melting side.

The vibration of the mobile phone in the pocket pulled them back from the topic, and Lao Zhao replied quickly this time.

The mural patterns depicted by Luo Cheng do belong to the ancient Dian period, but unlike the patterns on ordinary antiques, the things depicted in these murals are not decorative.

In other words, these things appear very rarely on the market. It's also fortunate that there is a professor of archaeology on Lao Zhao's side, and I took a look at it together, and there were some new discoveries.

The mural depicts some of the spells used by the shamans of the Dian Kingdom, including the formation that summoned the royal city at the bottom of the Fuxian Lake, which is also one of them. One of these witchcrafts caught Luo Cheng's attention, and that was how to suppress the most resentful things.

Whether it is a demon or something else, once it is difficult to control it, the wizards of the Dian Kingdom will control it and divide the corpse into a certain number, and choose different special locations in various places to bury it, breaking the absorption of its energy, and from then on, it will not be able to be reborn, and it will not be able to cause trouble.

It sounds right, but in that kind of society at that time, there was no effective way to judge whether a person was a demon or not, just like a foreign witch hunt, and most of the people who died were ordinary people. It would be a terrible thing if an innocent person were to be mutilated alive.

In broad daylight, Liang Zhen felt goosebumps on her back.

****

"Huh?"

Jiang Bai and Xu Yu obviously didn't hear what the other party said clearly.

The middle-aged man wiped the oil off his mouth, chewed crispy peanuts in his mouth, and stared at the two people in front of him with half-open eyes.

"Little fat man, you speak first."

"Me?" Xu Yu pointed at himself and swallowed nervously, "Probably...... I'll probably live to ninety-nine......."

Without waiting for Jiang Bai to speak, he immediately stepped forward and added: "I walk a hundred steps every day after eating." ”

"Then I'll tell you, you'll live for nine days at most."

Jiang Bai thought that the second question was going to be his turn, but when he thought about it, he was directly ignored, and his heart was sour: "Hey, what about me?" ”

The man stuffed another one into his mouth: "You? The temper is so short-tempered, two or three days. ”

What the? Eating your plate of peanuts is still a long life, it's really ...... Jiang Bai was angry, and he pulled up Xu Thrush and wanted to leave.

According to the normal development of the plot, the person should chase after him, or say some cruel words to scare and scare himself. But the man didn't do anything, so he sat and laughed at them while eating peanuts.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Laugh at your cuteness."

Xu Yu can't stand it, he is not the kind of person who likes to beat around the bush, and if he has questions, this is a habit that the master has taught since he was a child.

"Uncle, we are still children, you have something to say, we will leave if you have nothing to do, there is no need to scare us like this. We don't know how long we can live, but we can live one day at a time, and this day must be lived clearly, if you don't explain, then we will treat as if nothing has happened today. ”

Xu Yu's words made Jiang Bai a little surprised, this guy usually speaks timidly, but today he actually talks about the facts and reason, and what he says is obedient.

Boom.

The man kept nodding.

"Well said, little fat man, I like people like you. To be honest, I've lived most of my life, and I've seen a lot of people who are entangled in dirty things, and most of them don't want to help, but the two of you are different, and the things around you are very interesting. ”

The man said, picking up one of the chopsticks on the table and pointing to the peanuts in the bowl. No more, no less, just two left.

"You see, this one is a little fat man, and the other one is a friend of the little fat man."

After that, the chopsticks poked at the peanut, and suddenly the whole peanut split in half.

"Got it?"

What do you know?

"Each of you is still carrying a person on your back," the middle-aged man slowly put down his chopsticks, raised his palm to face them, and bent his thumb down, "no more, no less, a total of four." ”

Hearing that he was still carrying a person on his back in broad daylight, Jiang Bai suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if his body was also a little heavier. Although I said that I was resting in Lijiang these days, my fatigue did not decrease much, and at first I thought it was the laziness that this leisurely city had transmitted to me, but now it seems that it ......

"Waiter! Grab a candle! Without waiting for the two to question, the middle-aged man asked for props first.

Although I didn't know what to do with the candles in the daytime, the waiter still professionally brought three white candles, which were prepared by the store for the power outage.

The middle-aged man lit one of them with a lighter, and the flames suddenly burst out, shook violently for a while, and then turned into a slender column.

Due to the good angle, the shadows of Jiang Bai and Xu Thrush were reflected on the white wall behind them, and there was nothing unusual.

"See clearly." The middle-aged man then blew out the candle, and the shadow disappeared again.

His old fingers twisted the somewhat blackened wick of the candle, and without any lighter, he actually "rubbed" it, and a small flame overflowed from the man's fingertips.

At first, it was dark blue, but gradually, it suddenly seemed to fade, and suddenly it became black and white, which seemed to be like an old black and white movie in the past.

Xu Yu rubbed his eyes for a while, convinced that he was not mistaken. According to my years of experience in cheating, this is definitely not some kind of "magic".

What's even more surprising is that under the reflection of this black and white flame, the shadows cast by the two on the wall suddenly became four. And the middle-aged man next to him, the shadow is still quite unique.

Facing the two people whose jaws were about to drop, the middle-aged man raised two fingers again, quite proud.

"First, I can help you."

"This second ......"

Xu Thrush felt all over his pockets and took out a few hard-earned Grandpa Mao. "That's all."

"I don't want money." The middle-aged man pushed the money away with some disdain, "After the matter is done, take me to meet the big monster next to you." ”
