Chapter 158: Ming Jingguo
Hu Lao Liu looked quite appreciative, pointed to Panhu and said that this kid looks like a reckless man, but he is quite knowledgeable, looking at his face, he is a rich and noble person. When I heard Hu Lao Liu say this, I also laughed and said that you can still look at the old man.
Hu Laoliu nodded, saying that he had learned from the masters before, and he knew a little bit about fur. But just after that, he kept staring at Panhu, and the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows became. I glanced at Panhu and saw his blank expression, so I asked Hu Lao Liu, why are you staring at him so much, senior?
Hu Lao Liu didn't speak, but kept looking at me and Panhu back and forth, and after a long time, he asked, "What is the relationship between the two of you?" ”
Without waiting for me to speak, Panhu straightened his chest, and then said proudly: "Master-apprentice relationship!" This is my Master! ”
“…… Master? I think you two little dolls seem to be as big as you are, and you don't look much older than each other. ”
"Age is not a problem, if there is something to learn, it is naturally a master."
Panhu said it as a matter of course, and I was a little embarrassed by Hu Laoliu's strange gaze. But on the other hand, I was also a little moved by Panhu's frank admission of this matter.
This shows that he really recognizes this layer of relationship from the bottom of his heart. I'll have to teach this kid something in the future, not for his money, not because of his family background. With his voice Master, I still have to bear the responsibility.
Hu Lao Liu's brows kept frowning, but this time he didn't look at Panhu anymore, but kept staring at me, which I thought was a little funny. I thought that as soon as I said that you would look at it, you began to pretend to be a ghost, what the hell are you thinking?
After a long time, Hu Lao Liu said, boy, I said something ugly, but it can be regarded as a warning, it depends on whether you are willing to listen to it. Panhu didn't react, but I had been staring at Hu Lao Liu since just now, and I had already guessed what he wanted to say.
I said, "Senior, do you want to say that my apprentice has a terrible face?" Hearing that I actually preempted him to give the answer, Hu Lao Liu's face showed a look of shock for the first time, his mouth was half open, and then he glanced at me up and down again, as if he had reacquainted me.
"Master, what do you mean by the appearance of the earth's evil?" Panhu saw that he couldn't understand my conversation with Hu Lao Liu, and immediately became excited-from here you can see how studious this guy is, others will feel unhappy when they find out about their ignorance, but this kid feels excited.
I looked at his honest face and said funny: "The appearance of the earth, that is, your face is dead, and you feel like a wilted baby, and you will experience calamity in the near future." ”
Panhu was stunned for a moment, and his face became a little pale. But Hu Lao Liu asked me, "Young man, who are you?" Aren't they archaeologists? I looked at Hu Lao Liu and felt that since he was an acquaintance of the mountain god, there was no need to hide his true identity.
I said I wasn't an archaeologist, and I never said I was—I was a demon slayer, a cryptinist.
"OMG! Underground Burial Master?! ”
Don't say it's me, Panhu didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so violent, Hu Lao Liu jumped out of the sofa directly, the hot tea in his hand shook, I reacted quickly and dodged as soon as my butt moved, but Panhu this kid was miserable.
The hot tea was all poured on his crotch, and half a second later, Panhu let out a scream of great grief.
After hurriedly cleaning up for a while, the scene gradually calmed down, Panhu kept wiping his crotch with a wet towel, with a bitter look on his face, while Hu Lao Liu was still in shock and did not look able to ease up.
By the way, Hu Laoliu's son Hu Qiang, the stall owner who knocked on my bamboo pole before, immediately turned green with fright as soon as he heard that I was a ground burial master, and he didn't dare to look at me. But when I saw that they reacted so violently, I felt weird.
I thought I didn't say the wrong thing just now, right? I did say that I was talking about the Underground Burial Master, but I didn't say that I was a lich or a Gu Practitioner or anything like that. But the sweaty appearance of this father and son made me a little confused.
After a while, Hu Lao Liu showed a complicated smile and whispered something to Hu Qiang, Hu Qiang immediately nodded and ran back to his house quickly. When he returned, he had an extra wad of cash.
I raised my eyebrows, silently glanced at Panhu, and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Hu Qiang took the money, solemnly handed it to me, and bowed deeply, and said: "Big brother, I have no eyes, I haven't been able to recognize you as a ground burial master before, this is 5,000 yuan, I hope you don't care about villains, don't take this matter to heart." ”
I was amused for a while, thinking that you actually called me big brother? If my father were still alive, you would have caught up with my father at this age and still call me big brother. But let's not talk about this matter first, of course I want to take back the 5,000 yuan.
Although I really don't know why they are so afraid of me, since they want to pay back, where is the reason why I don't accept it. After I got the money back, I handed it over to Panhu. I asked Hu Lao Liu curiously, have you ever seen the underground burial master before?
Hu Laoliu smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said that he had not only seen it, but even let his family save his life, but at that time, he had nothing of value on him, so he didn't know how to repay others for saving their lives.
But the underground burial master didn't ask for anything, just said that if you are lucky enough to meet other underground burial masters in the future, treat them well. I was also shocked after listening to Hu Laoliu's words, and I didn't think that there was such a small episode.
"But old-timer, what did you do back then to be saved by the underground burial master?" Panhu asked curiously.
Hu Lao Liu looked at me and said Before talking about this, can you prove your identity as a burial master, so that I don't have any care in my heart. After all, you know, there are too many taboos in the world of demon slayers.
I nodded, then I pulled a spell out of my bosom, and with a thought, the spell began to slowly burn with a sea-blue purifying fire, eventually turning into bursts of ash at my fingertips. Looking at this scene, Panhu's two eyes began to light up directly.
Hu Lao Liu and Hu Qiang were also frightened, looking at me and my fingertips repeatedly, as if they had seen some incredible situation, but this was just a very sparse and ordinary trick for me.
I still feel a little aggrieved in my heart, thinking that if this little trick can scare people, I would have burned the charm a long time ago, burned ten or twenty sheets, and I must not let this Hu Qiang kneel down and call Dad.
After confirming the identity of my underground burial master, Hu Lao Liu and Hu Qiang's attitude became more cordial. Hu Qiang knew that his level was not enough, so he automatically left the house after giving us food and drink.
We started to talk in detail about Hu Lao Liu's encounter with the underground burial master when he was young, and then he was lucky enough to pick up a life, and as a result, we chatted and talked about the mythical story again, Queen Mingjing.
It turned out that when Hu Lao Liu was still young and Hu Qiang was still in his infancy, he set off with the same confidence as countless people who came to Baiqun Mountain to explore and find ruins. In fact, since that time, countless adventurers, archaeologists and others have invited him.
The White Mountains may not be full of fierce beasts like the beloved primeval forests, but the area here is too large, and the vegetation density here is also high, and one of the characteristics of the White Mountains is that the closer to the center, the more disordered the magnetic field becomes.
As a result, after a certain point, the compass will basically lose its effect, and all electronic devices will gradually fail. The locals of Fallwind Town say that this is a warning from Queen Myeong, telling them not to move on.
The treasures buried in the core area of the White Mountains are counted as one point, and there is absolutely nothing that belongs to them, but anyone who dares to touch the treasure of the Queen of Ming Jing will have to pay a heavy price with their own lives.
However, although ordinary people are afraid of such terrible rumors and have the idea that they would rather believe it or not, but people like Hu Laoliu, who like to run around, don't believe in these things, and in his opinion, the only thing that can make him give up moving forward is only one.
That is death, and even in the eyes of Hu Lao Liu at that time, death is nothing remarkable. But Hu Lao Liu himself admitted it. He said that he had been praised by the people around him at that time, and he was praised as the king of adventure, and he was even nicknamed Hu Da.
In this way, he himself began to drift more and more, and finally, in anticipation of everyone, he nailed his next adventure to the white mountains.
At that time, after learning the news that Hu Laoliu was going to explore the interior of Baiqun Mountain, many expedition teams and archaeologists contacted him. Hopefully he can come in with his team. But at that time, Hu Lao was very arrogant.
He scoffed at the high remuneration they offered – and he was also very unhappy with the so-called cultural elements from the big cities. In his heart, this white mountain is clearly the mountain of Luofeng Town, but this group of people broke in without permission and were invaders.
However, I can also understand the mood that Hu Lao Liu said, because I myself have had this kind of thought before, and of course there are still some remnants now. People in remote towns and small villages who grew up relying on the mountains and water actually have this idea.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, this is a kind of xenophobia, but if we combine it with the past history, it can only be said that one side of the water and soil supports the other side of the people, and this phenomenon cannot be described as exclusionary alone. On the other hand, outsiders who did not make an effort to fit in with the crowd also had his mistakes.
In short, Hu Lao Liu rejected all requests at that time, and finally decided to go on the road alone, and this decision was also strongly supported by the locals of Luofeng Town. You must know that Hu Lao Liu was a big star in Luofeng Town at that time.
