Chapter 42: The True Face of the Old Man
followed the old man to the room, and the furnishings inside made Li Kong suddenly startled, the furnishings here were exactly the same as the room furnishings they saw in the cold pavilion yesterday, except for a quaint table, there was nothing else. Soft lighting still illuminates every corner of the room.
"Okay, take your mask off, and let me show you the wound on your face. The old man sat cross-legged and looked at Li Kong.
Slowly taking off his mask, a face badly burned by the fire appeared in the room.
"Can the wound on my face be healed? Li Kong pretended to be nervous and asked, he was already nervous, and his pretense looked extremely realistic.
The old man got up, staggered towards Li Kong and walked around him twice, and then his eyes kept looking at Li Kong's injured face, without the slightest expression on his face, and occasionally reached out to touch his face, and then fell into deep thought, and then continued to look.
Looking at the old man's appearance, Li Kong's heart suddenly hung up, although the teacher told him that such a disguise technique could not be seen by ordinary magicians, but it could not be ruled out that some strange people could see through it.
So he was very nervous, he was afraid that this mysterious old man would see through his disguise technique, and then he might be in danger. Because he could tell from the occasional aura from the old man's body that this old man was definitely a fourth-order or above magician.
But the old man's aura was well disguised, and every time it was only a slight fluctuation, he was immediately taken back, so Li Kong couldn't perceive the old man's true strength.
This is also because Li Kong's perception has increased greatly under the medicinal bath conditioning prepared by the old man, and he can only grasp those tiny breaths, which is impossible for ordinary people to perceive. I would only think that this is an ordinary kind old man who can't be ordinary.
"Well, it's really a face burned by fire, don't worry, it's a minor injury, you wait a minute, I'll go get you medicine, and I promise to restore you to your original appearance." The old man smiled kindly at Li Kong, his wrinkled face full of care and confidence.
Li Kong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had not been discovered, such a rollercoaster-like stimulation made Li Kong's young heart pound non-stop.
"Really, thank you so much. Of course, Li Kong couldn't let him see any flaws, excitement immediately surged on his face, and the terrifying scar looked extremely hideous.
The old man didn't care, turned around and walked towards the door, looking like he should have gone to get medicine for Li Kong.
The old man took a deep breath greedily, the terrifying fangs slowly peeking out of his mouth, and the huge tongue drooped out from beside the fangs.
"I feel infinite vitality, what a good body this is, I am tired of this old body, as long as I can occupy his body, then my strength will definitely be greatly improved. ”
Drops of liquid dripped down the tongue onto the dirt, and holes the size of fingernails appeared on the ground where the liquid was touched, which showed how terrible the corrosive nature of the liquid was.
It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine that a kind old man would have such a terrible scene.
Li Kong, who was waiting quietly in the thatched house, suddenly felt a subtle dark beast aura, but its horror was far greater than the dark golem he encountered in the Gate of Trials. Li Kong instantly understood why he felt a terrifying aura on the old man, it turned out that this old man with a kind smile colluded with the dark beast, which also confirmed Li Kong's guess that this old man would really turn people into puppets to sacrifice the evil magic of the dark beast.
Li Kong's head kept flashing various escape plans, but he vetoed them.
1. With his strength, he can't escape, only improvisation.
Second, this room is exactly the same as the one in the cold pavilion, even the subtle lines on the table.
Fear and curiosity continued to surround Li Kong's heart.
The old man was not worried about being discovered, because there was a layer of hidden enchantment outside his room that could block the sight of the people inside, but what he didn't know was that Li Kong's perception was amazing, and he had already guessed from the fluctuation of the aura he released.
Bursts of black gas continued to emerge from his body, and then dissipated into the air. Then, the old man's hands continued to seal, and bursts of disappearing black qi continued to gather in his palm, and soon a black pill appeared.
"As long as he absorbs all these dark qi, then I can change into a young and energetic body, what a wonderful thing.
Wang Fulun, you didn't expect that you suppressed me here for 500 years, your bones have long been ashes, and I can see the light of day again. The old man smiled hideously, and the birds around him were constantly flying.
However, Li Kong couldn't feel any of this, and he was still thinking about how he could get useful information and escape here.
"I've kept you waiting, I'll prepare the medicine for you. I saw the old man carrying a quaint small wooden bowl, slowly walking into the thatched house, and grinning at Li Kong.
Li Kong looked at the black pill in the old man's bowl, and then at the old man's grinning smile, and immediately understood that this medicine was not a good thing, and it was very likely to be related to the fluctuation of the dark beast's aura just now.
The old man's smile grew bigger and bigger, and Li Kong's heart became heavier and heavier.
"Could it be that if you eat this pill, you can end the wound on my face?" asked Li Kong, pretending to be curious. The faint glint in his eyes flickered.
"It's an external dressing, I mash him, and when combined with my unique magic, it can have a miraculous effect on flesh and bones. The old man replied with a smile.
"Lie down, there is no bed here, you will be able to regain your appearance in no time. ”
Li Kong lay down hesitantly, he was not sure if he would be able to dissolve the medicine given by the old man.
The book given to him by the teacher recorded a thaumaturgy that could cover the surface of his face with an element to resist the invasion of dark qi, which is why he did not panic.
After all, the disguise technique he used before had not been seen through by this mysterious old man, so he was not worried that this dark qi could invade his body.
The old man walked up to Li Kong and slowly squatted down, then smashed the pill into a wooden bowl and gently applied it to Li Kong's burn area with an ordinary piece of wood.
Li Kong only felt that his face was cold for a while, and then his face was like being pricked by a needle, he knew that this should be the feeling of dark qi invading his face, and immediately ran the elements to form a layer of imperceptible air film on his face.
Li Kong focused on resisting the invasion of dark qi, he didn't dare to be distracted, once the dark qi invaded his body, he would be delirious at best, and he would become a puppet of the walking dead.
Looking at the weakening aura, the old man's heart was extremely excited, he had waited too long for such a young and powerful body.
When he examined the person in front of him just now, he had already found that this person was a young man who was not yet fifteen, and the vigor and vitality emanating from his body were the basis of his judgment. In addition, the magic aura on the boy's body made him even more obsessed.
"Okay, the scar on your face has subsided, you can go outside and take a look in the stream. The old man nodded in satisfaction.
Li Kong's face didn't reveal much emotion except excitement, he couldn't be exposed because of a small mistake, he had to find an opportunity to slip away now and tell everyone the news.
Happily walking to the edge of the stream, Li Kong immediately jumped into the woods next to him and quickly descended the mountain along the original path.
"Xiaoyou, where are you going in such a hurry, the old man hasn't done much of the friendship of the landlord?" An old voice came from behind Li Kong, and then an old and hobbling figure appeared on Li Kong's side.
Looking at the old man with a smile on his face, Li Kong said secretly: It's not good.
Immediately said with a smile on his face: "Aren't I anxious, boy, thank you grandpa again, I'll go and report to my brother first, and then come to thank grandpa." But he said that his feet did accelerate violently, and the old man's strength was too strong, and he was definitely not an opponent when he hit him head-on, and it was very likely that he would die here.
So what he can do now is to keep delaying time and wait for Zhang Han's support.
