Chapter 018: The Boy Who Is About to Die
The Pavilion of Compassion is said to be a mysterious organization specializing in stealing.
Their disciples were so numerous that they stole almost everything, gold and silver, divine weapons, medals and seals, and even men.
No one knows where these people are active, where their headquarters are, why they are gathered, and who the cabinet owner is.
Basically, there is no one in Mexican who is unaware of the existence of this organization.
It's just that Yu Changsheng would never have thought that the location of the same Sorrow Pavilion would be different from what he imagined.
A mysterious place like this should be in the deep mountains and old forests, hidden caves, deep deserts or some other treacherous place, no matter how bad it is, it will be a place that is not easy to find.
But this Tongbei Pavilion is actually in the downtown of a prosperous city, and what is even more outrageous is that outside this magnificent building, the words "Tongbei Pavilion" are clearly written in gilded characters.
Yu Changsheng looked at the magnificent gate in front of him and said in disbelief:
"This is the 'Pavilion of Compassion'?"
The girl smiled and asked rhetorically:
"What? Isn't it worthy here? ”
"Of course it's a good match, it's too good...... It is rumored that the whereabouts of your disciples of the 'Pavilion of Compassion' are secretive, and no one knows where your stronghold is, so naturally they would not have thought that you would set up your home in such a grand place in the middle of the city. ”
"So, gossip is the least credible. If you think about it a little, you will know that we are going to take over the business, which store have you ever seen that wants to hide its own store? The girl said.
Yu Changsheng nodded slightly, but he still felt that this magnificent building was not as simple as it seemed.
The building is in a retro style, with carved beams and paintings, and the eaves are not bricks, but highly reflective metal, which makes it extremely dazzling and difficult to look at when the sun shines on it.
The two giant doors are seven meters high and five meters wide, and the two guards look very short underneath, but this one doesn't seem to open very often. Next to the door on the right, a small door three meters high and two meters wide can be opened.
When the doorman saw the steam car driven by Fan Lize, he didn't stop it, didn't ask, and let it go directly.
The car drove into the Tongbei Pavilion and began to get faster. There are not many courtyards here, the environment is quiet, the gardening is simple, the trees are very tall and straight, but each tree seems a little lonely, there is no lake or river here, but there is a faint mist. In the four corners of the southeast, northwest and northwest, there is a nine-story pagoda each, the eaves corner of the layer of pagoda is hung with copper bells, the breeze blows, the bells shake, but there is no crisp and pleasant sound.
It is precisely because of the simple layout in this that the main hall is more magnificent and magnificent.
The car stopped in the open space outside the main hall, and a girl with a smile on her face came over at the door, and warmly took Fan Lize's hand, but her eyes were looking Yu Changsheng up and down.
"Brother Lize, sister Mei'er, you're finally back." The girl's voice was a little anxious.
"Well, how's the Pavilion Master?" Mei'er asked.
"The pavilion master is still holding on, but his eyelids are already trembling, as if they may close at any time, and the situation is very bad." When the girl said such a not optimistic thing, the smile on her face did not decrease.
"Ling'er, we've brought him back, let's take him to see the pavilion master!" Fan Lize urged.
Ling'er was slightly stunned, and this time her eyes were completely on Yu Changsheng's body.
"Okay, come with me."
Yu Changsheng was wrapped in a prison demon net, but he could still move his steps, but he was a little slower.
After all, he is not in a hurry either.
However, Mei'er and Fan Lize were anxious, or wanted to be anxious in front of Ling'er and the pavilion master.
They pushed Yu Changsheng, wanting to be faster.
"Hey, if you really want me to go faster, help me unravel the net. Now that I have reached your territory, do you think that I still have the ability to escape under your noses? Yu Changsheng said lazily.
"If you were someone else, of course you wouldn't dare. But you can't! Ling'er said.
The four of them walked in the quiet corridor, where there was no one in sight, not only no disciples, but not even a single attendant. Yu Changsheng was a little skeptical that this was really the same as the legend in the outside world, with many disciples.
Coming to the main hall, this place is really very majestic, the ground here is poured with gold, covered with a dragon skin blanket, this is obviously a whole thunder dragon directly cut the skin, the dragon head at the welcome place can also feel the unwillingness and anger of this fierce beast before death, if the eyeballs are not empty, it will make people wonder if it will flutter and come back to life.
The golden glazed tiles on the top of the hall shine with golden light, and the throne of vermilion sandalwood painted with gold and carved flowers in the middle of the hall is covered with a purple-red mattress on it. The front eaves are eight feet deep, the bucket arches, the cornices, the painted dust, and the surrounding are six one-person dragon pillars.
The steps leading from His Highness to the throne were sloping to make the person on the throne look even more lofty.
But at this time, the person on the throne looked old, even if he sat in such a luxurious position, he did not show any domineering, and even looked more decadent and tired.
When they got closer, Yu Changsheng saw the old man more clearly.
The old man had a slender face, full of crow's feet, and the lines were as deep as the scars cut into it with a knife. His stature was very thin, so thin that the skin covered in bones seemed to be punctured by the bones at any moment.
But his gaze was indeed still a little bright, and it was suddenly dim and bright, as if it were a lamp flickering on a lone sail swaying in the storm.
The gaze remained at a certain point in front of him, motionless.
"Pavilion Master, he's here." Ling'er said.
"Hmm...... Good. The old man replied weakly, but the direction of his gaze remained unchanged.
After a while, he seemed to finally think of something, and slowly moved his gaze in the direction of Yu Changsheng.
At this time, Yu Changsheng clearly saw that there was an iron ring embedded in the eye socket of this old man, and this iron ring was firmly bound to the eye socket, so that his eyelids could not be closed, but there was not too much blood under his eyes.
"Xiao Ze, Xiao Mei, you guys should step back first."
After the old man finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head slowly, and the two maids beside him immediately came over with courtesy, one of them held his head, and the other maid took a sip of water from the golden pot in his hand.
The watery maid aimed her mouth at the old man's eyes, and then dripped the water in her mouth into the old man's eyes accurately, and the amount was just right, and the water would not overflow a little.
The old man waved his hand, and then sat up straight again, and said to Yu Changsheng:
"You're younger than I thought you would."
Yu Changsheng snorted coldly and said lightly:
"You're also older than I thought you were."
There was no expression on the old man's face, but it seemed that after listening to every sentence, he had to think for a long time before he could reply, so after a long time he said:
"No, if only about age in this world...... Perhaps, I am younger than you. ”
