Chapter 137: Half of the Endgame
I put my left hand behind my back and clenched my five fingers hard, and Qian Feng of the Netherworld Treasure suddenly pierced my flesh.
When the spirit on the ancient coin and the spirit on my body convection, my stomach began to stir slightly.
Now was the best time to eat, and I didn't dare to delay and immediately grabbed the food from the plate and stuffed it into my mouth.
Li Huaishan also came to the plate and ate slowly.
Most of the food in front of me is some deboned meat, with a small amount of vegetables and whole grains interspersed.
I have to say that these things are indeed very delicious, whether it is meat, vegetables, or those seemingly tasteless coarse grain cakes, there is an indescribable sweetness on them.
I felt a little addicted after only a few bites, and I couldn't help but eat faster.
It's like if I don't eat more at this moment, I won't be able to eat something so delicious again.
Under the blessing of the Netherworld Treasure, the food was digested as soon as it entered the stomach, and my appetite was already very large, so I ate for five or six minutes without stopping my mouth, and there was still no feeling of bloating.
But Li Huaishan didn't even mean to stop for a moment, I ate halfway here, and found that he almost pressed half of his body on the edge of the plate, at first he ate slowly and logically, but now it has become a gobbling up state, and when he eats, he still has a silly smile on his face, and his saliva is flowing.
Oh no, this guy is really addicted!
I was afraid that Li Huaishan would blow up his stomach, so I immediately raised my foot and kicked him to the ground.
The kick was too urgent, I couldn't control the force, and Li Huaishan slid down the ground two or three meters away before stopping.
After such a distance from the food, he quickly regained his senses, first the nailness on his face disappeared, and then he hugged his stomach and sat on the spot gasping for breath.
It's a good thing I looked at him distractedly just now, otherwise he would have eaten for a while, maybe his stomach would really blow up.
The three old men not far away seemed a little dissatisfied with my move of kicking Li Huaishan away, and I saw one of them shake his head.
But fortunately, they did not force Li Huaishan to continue eating.
After a few minutes, the Netherworld Treasure could no longer exchange Lingyun with me, so I could only bite the bullet and stuff the last few catties of meat into my stomach.
It wasn't until there was only a small amount of oil stars left on the plate that the three old men raised their hands again, clapped their hands in the air three times, and their own food spirits came over and took the empty plate away.
I wiped the soup from the corner of my mouth and asked them, "Can I see Master Tiger now?" ”
They seemed to deliberately try to avoid my words, and after a moment of silence, they heard one of them say: "The things on the plate are all goblin meat, and as long as a mortal gets touched with such a meat, he will inevitably become addicted, why don't you have anything at all?" ”
Originally, I didn't bother to explain, but I thought that if I didn't answer them, they would keep stopping me outside the restaurant.
So I said to them, "I am the true nature of the character, and it is difficult to be deceived. ”
Oddly enough, after eating all the food on the plate, the rancid smell in my mouth disappeared and was replaced by a very light aroma.
The old man on the far left pointed to my left arm: "Since you are not subject to temptation, why can you borrow from the Netherworld Treasure?" ”
"I don't know why." With a simple response, I brought the topic back on track: "When can I see Lord Tiger?" ”
"Don't worry," said the old man standing in the middle, "I said that the tiger master is only willing to see the food spirit who is equal to him. You only proved that you have the stomach of the spirit eater, but you did not prove that your identity is equal to that of the tiger master. ”
Li Huaishan came to me rubbing his stomach and asked a little irritably, "How can you prove it?" ”
There was a hint of mockery in the old man's tone: "Have you ever heard of Guan Gong's five passes and six generals?" ”
I said, "That's romance, not history." ”
The old man didn't seem to hear me, and he turned around and walked towards the restaurant, and said, "You don't need to kill anyone, just pass the five levels." ”
In my vision, he only took two steps in the direction of the restaurant, but it was just a miracle effort, he actually appeared at the door of the restaurant ten meters away, and the other old people who appeared in the alley before disappeared out of thin air at this moment.
Even though I've grown accustomed to the feeling of my worldview being trampled on since I entered the house, I can't help but be surprised when I see this scene in front of me.
Probably not hearing the footsteps of me and Li Huaishan, the old man turned sideways and waved at us, motioning for the two of us to follow.
Li Huaishan came up to me and whispered, "Why are the others gone, are they all the shadow clones of that old man?" ”
I gave him a blank look: "You should read less comics in the future." ”
After speaking, I walked towards the restaurant, and Li Huaishan followed me and said, "How do you know that I read it from the comics?" ”
The interior of the restaurant is very empty, and when I enter the door, I can only see the spiral staircase that runs through the center of the floor, except for it, only a painting of ink hangs on the wall farthest away from me, probably because of the perennial dampness, the ink on it has almost dispersed, and I can hardly see what is drawn.
The old man stood at the top of the stairs, staring down at the ground, and I came behind him, looked at the spiraling stairs, and asked him, "Are you going to let me go straight up, or will you make it difficult for me a little more?" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a loud "clang" from under the floor, and before I could react to what had happened, a black iron door suddenly jumped up to the ground, blocking the old man and my way up.
Then the old man turned to me and said, "Climb up to the second floor without bypassing this door." ”
I stepped forward and pressed my hands on the door panel twice and pushed it hard, the door was directly embedded in the ground, it was difficult to shake it with my strength alone, and the crack in the door was poured with metal, unless it was destroyed, it would not have been possible to open at all.
The Bonebreaker can destroy rock, but it can't do anything about a metal plate as thick as it is.
Li Huaishan leaned over and touched the door panel, and suddenly frowned: "Can your bone-destroying hand break it?" ”
"It's no fun," I shook my head: "Don't say it's me, even the second master can't do it." ”
As I spoke, I crouched down and looked at the junction between the iron door and the ground.
The floor was wooden, and when you knocked it with your hand, the sound was dull, indicating that there was either stone or dirt underneath the wooden bricks.
The Bonebreaker could not break through the heavy iron plates, but it could destroy the foundations that held the door panels in place.
At this time, Li Huaishan said to me again: "How do I feel, that cat is playing with us?" ”
I smiled and asked Li Huaishan: "Do you remember, the second master once said that as long as I can subdue that cat, even if I have learned the craft?" ”
Li Huaishan: "Of course I remember, it's only been a long time." ”
I nodded first: "Just remember." Then he performed the technique of destroying the bone and slapped it on the ground with one palm.
When I struck, I put all my strength together, and because the force was too strong, I couldn't guarantee that the surface of the wooden bricks would not be harmed in any way.
As soon as the palm fell, a very shallow palm print appeared on the wooden brick, and under the floor tiles, there was a series of stone cracking sounds.
I shot continuously, leaving a series of palm prints in front of the door panel, and then shouted at Li Huaishan: "Get out of the way!" ”
Li Huaishan immediately dodged to one side, while I jumped up, grabbed the top of the door hard, and slammed my body again.
The thousand-pound door panel was pulled off the center of gravity by me on the spot, and a single layer of wooden bricks could not bear its weight, and suddenly, the wooden bricks cracked, and the door panel trembled and shook a few times, and then the whole fell to the ground, stirring up a lot of dust.
I took a few steps back, and while driving away the oncoming dust and mist with my hands, I said to Li Huaishan: "The civet cat must have the intention of making fun of us, but the two levels it designed can indeed detect my identity and skills." It asked us to eat to see if I was the descendant of the Bone Breaker, and it was designed to see how hot my Bone Breaker was. If I'm not mistaken, the next step is to test either my telekinesis or my mastery of the craft of the three pennies. ”
Li Huaishan frowned and said: "But you also said, even if the second master comes, you can't break that door, is it possible that you can only meet the standard if you exceed the second master?" ”
I pointed to the ground: "The target of this test is not an iron door, but a rock buried under the tiles. I did my best to break those stones just now, but if my skills are a little weaker, we will have to go home today. ”
Li Huaishan crossed his arms and looked a little impatient: "It's really troublesome." ”
I smiled, I wanted to say, but what I can't figure out the most now is why the second master must let him come with me.
It's a pity that before he could speak, the dust had almost dispersed, and the old man who led the way had already walked up the stairs, and he said as he walked upstairs: "You two better be quiet, Master Tiger doesn't like noisy people." ”
Li Huaishan was about to speak again, and I waved my hand at him and motioned for him to remain silent.
As the old man came to the second floor, he looked around, the whole floor was still very empty, and there was still an ink painting hanging on the east wall, the traces of this painting were much lighter than the one on the first floor, and it could be vaguely seen that there was a mountain painted on it, as if there was a very strong ancient pine.
In addition to this painting, near the staircase is a chessboard with black and white canine teeth intersecting to form a half-endgame.
As soon as I saw the chessboard, I suddenly had a bad premonition, so I asked Li Huaishan in a low voice: "How are your chess skills?" ”
Li Huaishan looked at the chessboard and then at me: "I can only play chess." ”
That's the end, fools can see the civet's intention to leave this half of the endgame, Li Huaishan can't play Go, although I know a little, but it is the level of half a bottle of vinegar, if the other party asks me to break the game, I guess I will definitely not play.
Sure enough, I was afraid of something, so I saw the old man walk to the chessboard, take out a white child from the chess box, and said to me with a little mockery: "This is a set of stargazing games handed down from Baiwu Mountain, the black son is already intercepting and waiting to win, the white child seems to be dead, in fact, there is still the last half of life, you use this white child in my hand to light up this half of life." ”
