Chapter 24: Li Yuan's Past
The five of them rested only briefly at the bottom of the tunnel. After all, every minute and every second was a race against death, and they didn't dare to wait any longer, Lu Lie supported Yang Wei, who was not very neat in his legs and feet, and the five of them embarked on the upward road again.
There are permanent lamps on the stone staircase every twenty steps, but they are too old, and the further you go, the more the light holders will go out. As the five of them walked, they stepped into a dark area. Fortunately, the cannibal owl and the very beautiful each held a lantern and walked to the front and back of the group, so that they did not fall into the "absolute darkness" outside before.
There may be any strange mechanisms in this tomb, and if you step on the wrong step, you may not be able to trigger any rolling wood or quicksand, even if you are very beautiful and other people's secret techniques are ten times more clever, you have to be buried here. Fortunately, the cannibal knew a lot about this kind of thaumaturgy, and one person walked at the front of the group, step by step, and the four followed him. Although the speed of the rise of the five people was a little slower, they have not encountered any danger so far.
I just don't know if it's an illusion, the more you go up this stone staircase, the quieter it becomes to the extreme. The five of them walked on the stone stairs, and even the sound of every step was suppressed to a minimum, and their ears were filled with the sound of their own hearts beating wildly. The feeling of tranquility, loneliness, loneliness, and emptiness is unimaginable.
Lu Lie turned his head and glanced at Li Yuan. Under the dim candlelight, Li Yuan's face was pale, his upper and lower rows of teeth creaked and couldn't stop fighting, and with every step he took up, he twisted his body carefully, as if he was avoiding something invisible. Lu Lie suddenly had a whim: Yes, Li Yuan is the most hidden of the five of us, and I am not his opponent when I usually play scheming. But he is only about six or seven years old now, so why not take this opportunity to probe his details?
Lu Lie immediately put on a harmless appearance of humans and animals, and patted Li Yuan's back with a smile: "Brother Li." The atmosphere in this tomb is too oppressive. Let's talk about family life and liven up the atmosphere. ”
Li Yuan walked in this tombway, like a frightened rabbit. He was suddenly slapped by Lu Lie like this, and he jumped to the side in fright: "Oh, you, why did you suddenly shoot me." Don't try to fool me, my father said that you are not allowed to talk to strangers of unknown origin. ”
Lu Lie didn't blush at all when he saw that his purpose was exposed. He thought to himself: Listening to Li Yuan's tone, it seems that his father is a person with a strong desire to control. Okay, let's start with his father. Lu Lie smiled at the moment: "Why are you so nervous, we are all people who have been born and died, we are good brothers, I will still harm you?...... Li Yuan, your father must be an amazing character. Hey, it's not like me, I grew up without parents, I really envy you. ”
At the mention of his father, Li Yuan lowered his head and looked very depressed. After a while, he said quietly: "Yes, he is a big man who stands up to the sky." ”
In the minds of children at this age, the image of the father is generally tall and majestic. However, Lu Lie praised Li Yuan's father so much before, not only did he not show a trace of pride, but his mood became very low. Lu Lie secretly came to the conclusion again: It seems that the relationship between this kid and his father is very stiff. I'd better not ask any more questions, lest I touch his scales.
Lu Lie and Li Yuan asked and answered, and the cannibal on the side and Shimei were also listening with a slap. Although they didn't say it, they were also very curious about Li Yuan's origin. Especially the cannibal, he made up his mind to kill the four oil bottles when he found an opportunity in a moment. This unfathomable Li Yuan made the cannibal the most fearful, and I don't know if he still has a backhand.
Before Lu Lie could continue, the cannibal owl looked like an amiable elder, and interjected with a smile: "Far away." Who have you been hanging out with since you were a child, and do you have any favorite elders?"
Lu Lie secretly glanced at the cannibal, and said in his heart: It is worthy of the old rivers and lakes. A light sentence not only bypassed his father, but also shifted the topic to his family background.
Unexpectedly, at the mention of this, Li Yuan's eyes darkened again. He lowered his head, and after a long time, he said, "I don't have any friends, and I don't have any particularly good elders. Ever since I was a child, my father locked me in a big house and didn't let me out. Even the young ladies who served me changed heads twice in three days, for fear that someone would have a relationship with me and secretly let me out. What is even more terrifying is that all of my father's subordinates are wearing armor, blowing their beards and glaring, flying all over the sky, shouting and killing at every turn. ”
Lu Liehe looked at each other in surprise, and thought in his heart: It's such a big house, it probably refers to the palace. And those young ladies who serve him should be palace maids. Listening to Li Yuan's tone, is he still the prince of any country?
But this is not unusual. The world under the giant tree is very chaotic, today there are people here to pull a tiger skin to call the king, tomorrow there will be people there who claim to have found the heirloom jade seal, to "ascend the throne". What a prince and queen, there are more magic fruits than Li Yuan's basket.
However, what does his phrase "his subordinates flying all over the sky" refer to? Man is not a beast, how can he grow wings out of thin air?
Lu Lie whispered in a very beautiful ear: "I guess this Li Yuan is also from some secret art family, and everyone in his family has mastered a secret technique that can make people float in the air. You know these things better than me, think about it, is there a big family of secret arts surnamed Li?"
Shi Mei also replied softly: "There is indeed a 'floating technique' in the secret arts, which can make people fly in the sky without falling. However, this secret technique can only be used by a master of the secret art above the Blood Fury Realm, and it is extremely physically demanding.
She paused again, stretched out her slender hand and brushed her hanging bangs, "But I don't see it." A master of the secret art of the Blood Fury Realm is enough to resist the mortal army. If Li Yuan's family had so many masters of the Blood Fury Realm, his family would have already dominated the world, and this country would also be surnamed Li. Where on earth will there be war for so many years?"
Lu Lie's despicable heart rose again, and said with a smile: "Then what realm are you now? Very beautiful young lady." ”
Very beautiful blush, don't turn your head and ignore him.
Lu Lie cheekily continued to laugh: "What is there to be ashamed of. You see, I'm only on the first floor of the Enlightenment Realm now, and who has ever laughed at me?"
In fact, at a very beautiful age, being able to master so many secret techniques is already an outstanding talent. Many old secret artists who have practiced all their lives have only mastered one or two secret techniques in their lives, and they can only enter the flower realm. It's just that she is arrogant, and she is always angry about her failure to reach the blood anger realm, so she doesn't want to ignore Lu Lie.
At this time, Yang Wei asked Li Yuan, "Then what are you carrying so many demon fruits everywhere you go?" Your father is a figure who stands up to the sky, why do you want to climb this ghostly giant tree?"
Among these five people, Yang Wei is the most pure-minded. He is not like Lu Lie and cannibals, who have so many intentions in every word, but are just really curious and ask questions casually. It's just that when Yang Wei asked like this, he stopped Li Yuan. He had a confused look on his face, as if he didn't know why he was doing it.
