Chapter 024: Crazy Old Man
(The 20th promised to update two chapters on the 21st, but because of the speed and time, I stayed up until 2 minutes in the morning to rush out of the second chapter, and I apologize for my late update)
Shen Xiu groped carefully, slowly moving forward in the demon cloud, and after a while, the demon cloud in front of him slowly dispersed. To Shen Xiu's surprise, the scene in front of him was no longer the scenery he saw on the mountainside just now, but turned into a cave in front of his eyes, and Liang Xiaomei didn't know where he had gone.
After trying to shout a few times, seeing that there was still no one responding, Shen Xiu began to look around seriously, and the first thing that caught Shen Xiu's eyes was the stone slab above the cave, and there were three big words written on the stone slab, "Seal the Demon Cave." "The area around the entrance of the cave is overgrown with weeds and looks very desolate, and it is likely that no one has been here for a long time.
"Little friend. It seemed that someone's voice suddenly remembered.
Shen Xiu looked around vigilantly and saw that there was no one else around.
"Maybe it's my own delusion," Shen Xiu thought to himself.
But Shen Xiu looked at the stone slab on the cave that said "Seal the Demon Cave!", and felt a little stunned in his heart. Thinking of the miserable fate of Zhu Youde and the long-faced young man before, Shen Xiu secretly said in his heart: "Just by looking at the name, you know that what is sealed in this must not be a good thing." The top priority is to find Liang Xiaomei's stinky girl, and she has no self-defense skills by herself, which is too dangerous."
Shen Xiu decided not to linger any longer, turned around and prepared to leave.
That's when it happened.
"Little friend, little friend. The voice just now sounded clearly in Shen Xiu's mind again, and his voice sounded a little hoarse.
"Who? Are you calling me?" Shen Xiu said in horror.
"Exactly!"
"Who the hell are you, who are you going to pretend to be a ghost here? Tell you, master, I'm not a vegetarian!" Shen Xiu looked around in horror again, and said boldly.
"Hehe, don't be afraid, little friend, I have no malicious intentions. The voice sounded a little helplessly this time.
"Since you don't have any malicious intent, why don't you come out and meet up, you know you're going to scare people to death. Shen Xiu was unforgiving.
"It's not that I didn't see you on purpose, but I really couldn't show up, if you really don't believe it, Xiaoyou, you can go into the cave and take a look, and you can know. The voice replied again.
"Oh!" Shen Xiu stretched out his voice, and looked like he suddenly realized: "It turns out that you want to deceive me?" You think I can't read?" Shen Xiu thought of Zhu Youde's tragic situation, thinking that he had seen through this person's tricks.
The hoarse voice continued: "I really haven't deceived Xiaoyou, it's just that I don't have much time to help me, if Xiaoyou really doesn't want to believe what I say, I'm willing to swear a poisonous oath!"
Speaking of this, the man paused for a moment, as if it was difficult to make a poisonous oath, and then turned to sigh guiltily, and said, "Swear poison, swear poison, haha." Retribution, retribution, my oath is credible?"
It seemed to be recalling something that hurt him. After saying that, the man suddenly screamed frantically: "Ah, retribution, I was wrong, master, I was wrong, the child is unfilial, the disciple is unfaithful!"
Shen Xiu only felt that the voice was like an explosion in his head, and his eyes turned black for a while. And he fell over.
"Little friend, little friend?" the voice sounded in Shen Xiu's mind again.
"Whew, you crazy old man, you're crazy!" Shen Xiu got up slowly, holding his still swollen head with both hands, and said angrily.
"I'm sorry little friend, it's okay to call me crazy old man!" The crazy old man made a hoarse voice and said apologetically: "What you said is indeed the truth, I don't have much time to be sober, and most of the time I am indeed a madman." ”
"Okay?" Shen Xiu said helplessly. Instead, he asked, "Then you know how long I was in a coma before you woke me up?"
"Little friend, this time it's not too long, only a dozen days have passed!" replied the crazy old man.
"What! Ten days? Is this still called a long time?" Shen Xiu said in shock.
"Uh!" the crazy old man muttered.
Although Shen Xiu was speechless, listening to the words of the crazy old man, Shen Xiu felt a little sympathy in his heart, thinking that he was just doing a favor.
"Okay, I'll help you, but let's talk about it first, I won't do a loss-making business, firstly, I have been in a coma by you for so long, and my friend is still outside and the life and death are unknown; second, it seems that you have been sleepy for a long time, this is certainly not very simple; third, you know that I am not familiar with you, but I am risking my life to help you; this is a big risk, and the reward is also great, you know?" Shen Xiu replied with a little expectation in the tone of a businessman.
The crazy old man seemed to be a little reluctant to laugh at this kid who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, "Hehe, Xiaoyou, no problem, your friend is very safe, things may be very difficult, but no matter what the result is, I will not let you help me in vain!"
"Okay! The gentleman is hard to chase," Shen Xiu looked premeditated, and after listening to the crazy old man's words, he quickly agreed.
"Can you tell me now, what should I do?" asked Shen Xiu.
"You go into the cave and you can see a black weapon! just pull it out, and you'll be doing me a favor!" replied the mad old man.
Shen Xiu followed the words of the crazy old man and entered the cave, only to see huge stone piers on the ground, which were placed on both sides of the cave in order, and a long walkway was left in the middle of the stone pier, and at the end of the walkway was a high stone platform, and Shen Xiu saw a black weapon being inserted straight in the middle of the stone platform.
Shen Xiu walked through the stone pier and walked directly onto the stone platform.
I saw that the weapon on the stone platform was a single-edged weapon that looked like a sword but not a sword, and a knife but not a knife, which could be said to be a knife or a sword. From the blade to the hilt, the weapon is dark and shiny, and it can be seen that the whole body of the sword is made of one material.
Shen Xiu tried to pull it out with his hand, but the weapon seemed to be connected to the stone platform. The thread remained untouched.
Next, no matter whether Shen Xiu used his hands, or broke the weapon left and right, or dripped blood on the weapon, the weapon was still motionless, and he didn't even tremble.
"Whew, I really can't pull it out, you tell me what to do?" Shen Xiu took a big breath and finally asked.
"This!" replied the mad old man in an awkward tone, "I don't know how!"
"So confident in me?" Shen Xiu said in disbelief.
"Because when you performed that move on your friend, I guessed that you had seen through the stone tablet at the bottom of the mountain, so I am sure that the person who can help me must be you. The mad old man replied affirmatively.
"Stone stele?" Shen Xiu thought of the three men on the stone tablet in his heart, and suddenly realized in his heart.
"Is it because I'm from another world?" Shen Xiu thought of a great possibility.
I saw Shen Xiu constantly searching on the stone platform, on the sword body, and in the cave, hoping to find some things or words from his original world. These things can touch some mechanisms and so on.
But to Shen Xiu's frustration, Shen Xiu searched for a long time and found nothing.
"Poor crazy old man, it's not that I won't help you!"
Returning to the high stone platform, Shen Xiu put his hands on the hilt of the sword, sighed, lowered his head and said regretfully to the crazy old man in the sword: "Hey~, it seems that I can't help you!"
"Thank you, I think this is the retribution I deserve!" the crazy old man said in a disappointed tone.
"Wait a minute". Shen Xiu raised his head suddenly, as if he had suddenly realized.
