Chapter 259: Uncle Beard
We heard a plop, it was Xiao Jian who had an accident. Although Xiao Jian is very good, he is not familiar with the situation here, and it is inevitable that he will suffer, so we immediately rushed in to meet him.
After we rushed into the stone forest, we saw a white figure inside, it was Xiao Jian. He was holding a short sword, and there was a man lying on the ground. It seems that someone attacked him, but he put him down. The man he had put down had fainted on the ground, with long hair and beard, but his clothes were not so dirty, or I would have thought he was a wild man.
"This wild man tried to sneak up on me, I flashed fast, and he didn't catch me. I tried to retreat, but he didn't give up and attacked me again. I had no choice but to smash him out with the hilt of my sword. "My uncle went over to check the wild man, and he was still breathing, it seems that Xiao Jian is still very measured.
"This man doesn't look like a savage, he's clean, let's wake him up first, and ask him what he's doing." My uncle helped the bearded uncle and asked me to bring some water to the bearded uncle. My uncle poured a few mouthfuls of water on this beard, not to mention, he really woke up.
"You, who are you?" Hey, it seems that he is really not a savage, and he can speak Chinese.
"Are you a resident here?" My uncle leaned this bearded uncle against the rock on the side so that he could be a little more comfortable.
"You are, you are Yu Deshui." I'll go, this bearded uncle actually knows my uncle. My uncle was also startled, and was a little overwhelmed for a while, but immediately leaned over to Uncle Beard's face to see who this person was.
My uncle sat directly on the ground, brushed the bearded uncle's hair, and took a closer look at his appearance.
"You, you're Xiao Tian, you kid didn't die, I thought you were dead." My uncle looked at this bearded uncle, and the two of them hugged each other happily.
"I haven't seen you for seventeen years, you are all still there, it was Lin Jie who stunned me just now. I wanted to say hello to him, but I was knocked unconscious directly, and my skills are still so good. "This bearded uncle seems to be in a very good mood, looking at my uncle, talking and having fun.
"This is not Lin Jie, it's his apprentice, named Xiao Jian." My uncle began to explain Xiao Jianlai, Xiao Jian didn't come over, and still stood there expressionlessly.
"Lin Jie, why didn't I come with you?" Speaking of which, my uncle's face suddenly changed.
"Lin Jie, it's gone, only this apprentice is left." When my uncle said this, the bearded uncle suddenly burst into tears, like a child.
"It's gone, it's gone, it's gone." This bearded uncle cried for a long time, and my uncle just kept holding him, hoping that he could be more comfortable. Maybe this is an old friend, the two of them laughed when they met, laughed and laughed, but cried. After more than ten minutes, the bearded uncle was in a slightly better mood, and my uncle could continue to ask the bearded uncle questions.
"Xiao Tian, didn't you set off with Sun Xiang and the others at the beginning, why are you left here by yourself now. Also, how did you make yourself the way you are, like a wild man, how did you get here after so many years? "My uncle asked a lot of questions in one breath, but Uncle Beard just sighed and didn't speak.
"Deshui, you can go back with me first, it's inconvenient to talk here, and when it's a little bit over, there will be poisonous snakes and beasts here." Uncle Beard seemed to be taking us to his quarters, and we followed him around the red stone forest. After walking for a while, I realized that there was a gravel path here, and it seemed that it was really inhabited.
We walked for more than ten minutes, and we had entered the depths of the stone forest, and the sky began to darken. We are now in the middle of a clearing, and there are a few particularly thick stone pillars in front of us, and there should have been a few smaller stone pillars on the ground, but now there are only a few stone platforms that are not high, which seem to have been excavated artificially.
"Wait a minute, I'll call someone out and let us in." Tell someone to let us in, isn't there anyone else here? The bearded uncle walked to a stone platform and knocked on it three times, and the sound of kala came from the ground. You must not believe it, the stone platform on the ground actually slowly rose, and a space of six or seven square meters appeared inside, and Uncle Beard asked us to stand together.
"Come on, everyone, don't be afraid, it's similar to the elevator, but it may be a little bumpy." We will be skeptical, but my uncle has already stood up with Uncle Beard, and there is no way, so we can only stand up. The bearded uncle slapped the wall three more times, and the stone elevator began to slowly descend again.
It's really the same as Uncle Beard said, it's very bumpy, and I don't know what power is driving this stone elevator. Every time I hear a click, this stone elevator jolts. A few more times, and my bones will fall apart.
It took about a minute for the stone elevator to land safely. There was a tunnel under the elevator with oil lamps next to it, and two people came out from the other end of the tunnel to greet us. Although the two of them also have long hair, they comb their hair in a bun and wear the clothes of the ancients, what is the situation.
"Brother Tian, you're back, who are these people?" At this time, I noticed that these two men were still holding knives in their hands, although the style was very old, but they were still polished. The two of them were still a little wary of us, and Uncle Beard motioned for them to put down their knives, and then put away the cold and shining knives.
"These are my friends, not enemies, let's go back first." It seems that Uncle Beard has been in some trouble recently, so the guard is so tight, I don't know if we can help anything.
We walked along this underground passage for a while, and we began to enter an upward passage, which was going to take us somewhere. We walked up a wooden staircase, as if we had entered a building, and how could we go back one floor at a time. The bottom two floors seem to be warehouses, and the upper ones seem to be people's quarters. We reached the third floor, where there were several small hidden windows, which were covered with red plants, which was very hidden.
I tried to get rid of the plants and see what was going on outside, and where this building-like building was. When I opened it, I could see the stone platforms just now. And the shell of this building turned out to be rock, could it be that this is the inside of the big stone pillars I just saw?
Just when I was surprised that this building was actually built in a stone pillar, there were a few discordant wolf howls outside.
