Chapter 17: Surprising

We kept our voices as low as we could and slowly walked to the house that was making the sound. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The info stove is on the right of the doorway, it is a very old wood-burning stove, and the stove blackens the wall on the right. To the left of the door is a small glass window, which is made of two squares of glass, which is not very large. The one on the right has a hole in it. The glass was covered with dust. And the door is the kind of ancient wooden door that closes together, similar to the doors of those mud houses in the mysterious village of Baiyun Mountain!

Fat Bao carefully leaned his head in front of the window and looked through the broken hole. Hotaru and I looked through the glass. Because the glass is full of dust and the window is relatively small, the light inside is not good. What we saw was a black mush.

I was about to ask Fat Bao what he saw inside, but before I could say the first word of "Fat ......" clearly, Fat Bao covered my mouth with a nervous expression.

Fei Bao lowered his voice and whispered, "There seems to be something inside!" ”

Hotaru and I were both amazed.

"What's there?" Hotaru asked in a whisper.

"It's dark inside, I can't see clearly, but it's relatively large, and it's definitely not a rat or a wild dog!" Fei Bao said as he took out the SOG320 fighting saber from his waist, and in order to make it brighter inside, he used the saber to reach through the hole in the window and slowly unlock the window.

After the lock of the window was opened, Fei Bao slowly opened the window, and the inside suddenly became much brighter. ”

There was a commotion in the house, and the things inside seemed to have spotted us, and it was running around in a panic, knocking down a lot of furniture.

In order to satisfy our curiosity, Hotaru and I hurriedly reached out to the window to look.

"Ahh A stranger's voice came from inside.

I was stunned to see a thin old man hiding under the table in a panic.

"It's an old man!" Fei Bao said.

The old man heard us speak, and slowly turned his head, his face frightened. He was amazed when he saw us clearly.

"Grandpa!" Hotaru's immature voice eased everyone's tense and surprised atmosphere, "We're not bad people!" How can we help you? ”

"It's a human?" The old man said, this sentence surprised me a lot, why should he be surprised when he sees people?

"Isn't it a human, is it a ghost?" Fei Bao said.

"Brother Jiabao! Don't scare the elderly! ”

"I ......" Fat Bao just wanted to speak, but I pushed my elbow against his chest and motioned for him not to talk nonsense. I stared at the old man gravely. Although Fei Bao didn't know what I was thinking, he already felt the concern in my heart, so he didn't talk nonsense.

"What are you doing here?" The old man asked.

"We had some things, for some reason, to get here. We would like to ask you about Yongtou Mountain! Can I open the door? I said.

The old man hesitated, but at last stumbled to his feet and walked towards the door.

"Fat Baby, put the knife away. But beware of this old man, he's a little wrong! I said.

Fat Bao put away the fighting saber and said, "What can an old man do?" ”

"If you are told to do it, you will do it! Also, don't talk nonsense! I said solemnly.

"Why should you be wary of this old man!" Hotaru asked in a whisper.

"His behavior is so outlandish! He was hiding from something, he thought we were what he was going to dodge, so he hid! I said.

Then the old man opened the door. His eyes were very vigilant, and he still had a woodcutter in his hand. He looked us up and down. We looked him up and down, too. The old man looked to be sixty or seventy years old, with wrinkled skin, a lot of age spots all over his body, and his hair had fallen out of much, thin and dark. But it still looks pretty robust. He had a white layer in his right eye, as if he was blind. The old man then looked around, as if looking for something.

"What do you ask?" The one-eyed old man asked, still looking at us with wary eyes.

"We want to know how to get to the Longgu Temple! Do you know, uncle? I said.

The one-eyed old man was even more surprised when he heard this, and said, "What are you doing in the Dragon Ancient Temple?" ”

"The Dragon Ancient Temple may have what we're looking for, so we're going to check it out!"

"Longgu Temple is not a place for you city people to travel, go back! The way to get there is hard! ”

"The Dragon Ancient Temple may have the truth about what happened to our friends, we must go and see it!"

"Go back! It's all for your own good! ”

"If you don't say it, you won't say it, it's amazing!" "Let's go ask the others!"

I glanced at Fat Bao and motioned for him not to talk nonsense.

"Don't waste your efforts!" The one-eyed old man said, "The people in the village are gone, and it is impossible for the villagers of other villages to know the exact location of the Longgu Temple!" There are not many people who know the location of the Dragon Ancient Temple now! ”

"Then you say you're going to die!" Fei Bao said.

"Grandpa, please, tell us!" "It's important to us. ”

"It's not me who will die if I say it, it's that you may die!"

We all looked at the one-eyed old man in amazement.

"Old man, don't be alarmist here!" Fei Bao said.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked.

"Don't say it, don't say it, you guys go quickly!" The one-eyed old man pushed us out.

"If you don't say it, don't say it, we'll find it ourselves!" Fat Bao walked back dissatisfied.

The one-eyed old man was quite firm. We can't embarrass the elderly! I had to give up! Hotaru and I also followed Fat Bao back.

"Where are we looking?" Hotaru said as she walked, "The Longtou Mountain Range is hundreds of kilometers long, if you look for a mountain from mountain to mountain, when will you find it?" ”

"Ask your brother!" I looked at Fat Bao dissatisfied, "I told you not to talk nonsense, and said." Well, now it's messed up! ”

"You're blaming me now!" Fat Bao said, "The more afraid you are of this kind of old man, the more arrogant he will be!" How can he do it without deterring him? ”

"Shock! You're going to shake! You can shake the entire dragon head mountain range! Now I don't know when I found it! ”

"Cut!"

"Don't quarrel with the two brothers!" Hotaru bit her lower lip and thought, looking very cute. After I saw her expression, my anger disappeared all of a sudden, "Let's go to Longgu Temple together!" ”

"Okay!" I was in a much better mood all of a sudden, "If you find the Dragon Ancient Temple, you may be able to find out the clues of the 'Nine Palace Prison Cow'." ”

"I want to throw up when I see you!" Fei Bao said to me disdainfully.

"Get out of the way!"

"Wait a minute!" The one-eyed old man behind us suddenly stopped us.

We all looked back in amazement, neither of us expecting the one-eyed old man to stop us.

"What did you just say?" The one-eyed old man asked me.

"Get out of the way!" I say.

Fat Bao smiled.

"It's not this sentence, the previous sentence!"

"Finding the Dragon Ancient Temple may be able to find out the clues of the 'Nine Palace Prisoner Cow'." I repeat the previous sentence.

"Are you also looking for the Nine Palaces Prisoner Cow?"

We were even more surprised, and my first instinct was that the one-eyed old man must know something.

"Yes!" I immediately walked up to the one-eyed old man, "Do you know what that means? We have to solve this mystery, and that's important for us! ”

"Jiugong Prison Cow, I don't know what it means!" The one-eyed old man said.

"Your boss's!" Fei Bao walked over angrily, "I asked you about Longgu Temple just now, and you don't know it." Now you can name the Nine Palaces Prison Cow, but you don't know what it means. Don't think I'm an old man, I don't dare to beat you, tell you, you've me off! Fat Bao said as he creaked his fists, and it looked like he was really going to hit someone.

I immediately pulled the fat baby, and the little firefly also pulled. Although the two of us may not be able to subdue the crazy Fat Treasure together, the rational Fat Treasure can still dissuade it.

I pushed Fei Bao aside and said, "You stand here and don't move, I'll take care of this matter!" Hotaru you look at him. It's all for Amin, put up with me! ”

Fat Bao listened to my words and swallowed his anger.

The one-eyed old man is really cheap, and I'm also on fire. But he should know something about the Nine Palaces Prison Cow. I'll have to calm down and ask what happened.

"Uncle, what should you know!" I said, "It's important for us to solve the mystery of the Nine Palaces Prison Ox, and it's about the life and death of one of our very important friends. Can you tell us everything you know? "It's about Amin's life and death, this sentence is used to scare the one-eyed old man, and here I must use bitter tricks to increase the seriousness of the matter, otherwise this stubborn old man will probably not tell us the truth of the matter.

The one-eyed old man sighed softly, and he set aside the woodcutter in his hand. I know he's let his guard down, we're halfway there.

"I don't tell you for your good. You're all young, and I don't want you to die for this! The one-eyed old man said.

"Old man, don't be scary here, okay!" Fei Bao said.

I knew that Fat Treasure would not be able to help but speak, and this time I did not stop Fat Treasure from speaking, because we must put pressure on the one-eyed old man again to completely collapse his defenses, so that we can know the truth of the matter.

"We just want to know what happened. As for the path we chose, we will take responsibility for our own choices! I said.

"Come in!" The one-eyed old man said.

I know our first condition has been met. Before entering the house, I made a silent gesture to Fei Bao, signaling him to stop talking nonsense after entering, in case he angered the one-eyed old man, we should not want to know about the Nine Palaces Prisoner Niu.

Fat Bao nodded, but I didn't know how long he would be able to endure it.

The house is not big and very basic. A bed, a table, a few chairs, plus a cupboard are all the furniture here. Since the door was open, it was much brighter inside. The one-eyed old man was tidying up the chairs and cupboards that he had just knocked down in his panic. We're going to help too. After tidying up, the one-eyed old man beckoned us to sit down.

"I really don't know anything about the mystery of the Nine Palaces Prison Cow!" The one-eyed old man said.
