Chapter 183: The Mysterious Old Man
Holding this broken picture that looked like it would turn into powder at the touch of his palm, Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with unconcealable ecstasy, he didn't expect that in this extremely accidental situation, he would get a mysterious broken picture...
Looking at the mysterious routes on this yellowed picture, although Xiao Yan still couldn't understand the mystery, but the outline of these routes made him faintly familiar, because of this kind of mysterious picture, he had seen it in the cave where the Demon Beast Mountain Range and the Little Doctor Immortal explored the treasure...
That mysterious map that represented the ability to find the "Pure Lotus Demon Fire" that ranked third in the legendary "Alien Fire List", that kind of alien fire, even Yao Lao, also gave a very high evaluation, and when the Pure Lotus Demon Fire came out of his mouth at that time, it was not difficult for Xiao Yan to perceive the exclamation in his words.
To be able to make Yao Laodu, who once stood at the peak of the Douqi Continent, praise it so repeatedly, it can be seen that how strong the "Pure Lotus Demon Fire" is, and it doesn't seem to be an exaggeration to describe it by burning everything.
"Tsk, lucky guy, you will find the map fragment that has no clue in this kind of place, it seems that you and the Pure Lotus Demon Fire really have a bit of fate. Xiao Yan's heart sounded with Yao Lao's somewhat incredible surprise, obviously, he never thought that Xiao Yan would be able to obtain two mysterious map fragments in just one year. ^^^^
Xiao Yan smiled, his smile was a little excited, and he carefully held the mysterious and broken picture, forcibly suppressing the urge to take out another map in the middle of the ring for comparison. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his heart because of this extremely unexpected gain.
At this time, the white-haired old man in the shop. He finally finished the work in hand, but he still didn't look up, and his old voice echoed in the room.
"You're going to buy a map of the Tagore Desert, right?"
I could hear the old man's inquiry. Xiao Yan turned around and slowly walked to the counter. He smiled and nodded, and said politely, "Sir, can you give me the most accurate and detailed map of the desert?"
"It's on the counter, take your pick. The old man didn't deliberately get up to introduce, but just said lightly. This looks extremely different from a businessman's martial arts.
Look at the peculiar attitude of the old man. Xiao Yan was a little stunned, but now that he had a request from others, he had to nod helplessly, randomly picked out a map that looked quite detailed from the counter, and then carefully spread out the ancient map fragment on his palm, and asked softly: "Old man, I don't know if you still have this kind of map fragment here?"
Listening to Xiao Yan's question, the old man, who was concentrating on drawing the map, trembled imperceptibly with his palm, the carefully drawn route. \\\*\\ is a slight shift. Frowning slightly, the old man finally raised his head slowly. His gaze swept over the broken map in Xiao Yan's hand, but in his cloudy old eyes, there was an inexplicable hint of martial arts.
Looking at the old face that was raised, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, there was a terrifying scar from the left cheek to the corner of the eye of this face, although the old man's eyes were quite peaceful, but this scar still made him add a faintly visible ferocity to the martial arts.
"You... Have you seen a fragment of this kind of map before?" his eyes swept over the robe on Xiao Yan's body, which represented the identity of the alchemist, and the old man's voice was slightly surprised.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, shook his head with a smile, and said: "I once seemed to have seen this kind of map fragment in an auction house, and I competed casually at that time, but in the end, because the other party's bid was too high, so I gave up. ”
The "Pure Lotus Demon Fire" is not an ordinary thing, this kind of demonic flame that ranks third on the list of different fires can make any hermit who has no quarrel with the world greedy, so Xiao Yan will not be stupid enough to directly explain that he has a remnant picture. "Oh. ”
His gaze swept over Xiao Yan's face, and the old man seemed to believe his words, and said lightly: "No, this is just what I got by accident, according to my years of experience in cartography, this seems to be just a fragment of a map." ”
"Can the old gentleman tell me where you got it?" Xiao Yan frowned slightly and continued to ask. "Dig in the desert. The old man's flat tone did not have the slightest ripple.
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly at the old man's extremely irresponsible answer, holding the mutilated picture in his hand, and said, "Old man, can you sell me this map?" ”
"Not for sale. The old man slowly lowered his head, and once again focused his attention on the unfinished map, although his tone was flat, but there was an unquestionable attitude of martial arts.
Seeing that he was rejected, Xiao Yan was stunned, his eyes gradually narrowed, no matter what, this map fragment is bound for him, not to mention that the other party is just an old man who seems to be powerless, even if he is really replaced by a strong man, he must try to get it in his hands, after all, the attraction of the "Pure Lotus Demon Fire" to him is too huge, maybe, in the future, if he wants to "incinerate" and evolve into a heaven-level exercise, this Pure Lotus Demon Fire, which ranks third on the alien fire list, will play a vital role!
Just when Xiao Yan's heart was tumbling with thoughts, he suddenly remembered Yao Lao's faint voice in his heart: "Be careful, this old guy is not an ordinary person." ===”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's heart froze, and he hurriedly said in his heart: "Teacher, is this old man weird?"
"Well, under my detection, this old guy's real strength should be at the Douhuang level, however, he seems to have been suppressed by some strange power, and the strength in his body is only about the strength of the Dou Ling now, but even so, it is easy to kill you. "Yao Lao is very interested in martial arts.
"Douhuang?" shook his heart. Xiao Yan lost his voice in his heart: "How is it possible? Among the top ten powerhouses in the Gamma Empire, only three of them are Douhuang powerhouses, where did this person come from?"
"How do I know... But the strong ones you are talking about. It's just on the surface, and the Gama Empire is also a big empire, and there are always a lot of strong people. I don't like that kind of showmanship, some strong people. It's even more withdrawn and weird, and it's not surprising to go to the edge of this desert to sell maps?"
Xiao Yan was speechless, and after a while, he smiled bitterly in his heart: "But why did you want me to meet me?"
"Maybe you're lucky. Yao Lao smiled a little gloatingly.
"Little one. Don't mess with my map ideas, I'm not short of money. Grab your stuff and go, and don't try to rob it, it won't do you any good. The old man waved his hand and said lightly, he didn't seem to be afraid that Xiao Yan would run away with the fragments in his hand.
Slowly exhaling, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, and said, "Indeed, in front of a powerhouse who may have been at the level of the Dou Huang. There's really no way I'm going to rob it. ”
"Click!" the pen moved slowly in his hand. Suddenly, with a crisp sound. Suddenly, the force is broken.
The old man stared at the black stain on the map that was painted with a large amount of ink, and after a while, he raised his head and stared at Xiao Yan, and in the cloudy pupils, a faint chill gradually lingered in the martial arts.
"Who the hell are you?"
The old man's palm tapped somewhere on the table, and the open door closed with a bang, and the old man's eyes were fierce against Xiao Yan, and a cold and domineering momentum spread from the old man's body and opened the martial arts.
Just when the cold momentum was oppressing Xiao Yan, Yao Lao's soul power enveloped Xiao Yan in, allowing him to avoid the oppression of the other party's momentum.
"Don't get me wrong, old gentleman, I don't know you, it's just that I'm born with a bit of weird perception, and I feel very deeply about some of the energy around me, before, I just detected the majestic energy in the old man's body, so..." Sir, I don't mean anything else, but I really want to get this map fragment, it's very important to me, and I ask you to be accommodating, of course, you can say what you need in exchange, as long as I can get it, I will not refuse. ”
"Boy, I didn't expect you to have some foundation. Looking at Xiao Yan, who was not damaged in the slightest under his own momentum, the white-haired old man couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Huh. Smiling, of course Xiao Yan was not stupid enough to say Yao Lao, he nodded slightly, smiled and raised the fragment of the map in his hand, and said, "Old man, what do you think?"
"I said I wouldn't sell it to anyone, and if you really plan to take it away by force, then don't blame the old man for bullying the small. He said lightly, the white hair behind the old man was windless, and the cold fighting spirit was swirling around his body.
Rejected by the old man, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed, he didn't expect this old guy to be so stubborn, looking at his appearance, he obviously didn't know that after collecting these fragments, he would be able to get the map to find the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, but he still refused to agree to sell it, which really made Xiao Yan a little annoyed in his heart.
"Old gentleman, I am bound to get this thing today, even if you don't agree, that kid can't say that he will be forcibly taken away!" The smile on his face gradually converged, and Xiao Yan was helpless.
"With you, old man, although I have been in seclusion for decades for some reasons, it is not your turn to speak to me like this as a second-grade alchemist!" Hearing Xiao Yan say this, a sneering smile appeared on the old man's old face, and he sneered.
Pouting, Xiao Yan stopped talking nonsense with him, kicked his toes, and his body retreated sharply towards the door.
"Look for death!"
Looking at Xiao Yan's actions, the evil aura flashed on the old man's face, and the hideous scar was even more fierce, and the soles of his feet stepped on the ground, and his body shot at Xiao Yan like lightning.
When the old man flashed, inside the store, the cold air quickly diffused, and a faint mist was also swirling in it, completely obscuring Xiao Yan's sight.
Obscured by the cold mist around him, Xiao Yan's face changed slightly, he knew that this time he was afraid that it was really a little troublesome.
