() Chapter 8 History: The Old Man Who Has Never Been Recorded
Nameless looked at the young man's back and could only stand in place and smile bitterly, signaling Li Yuxuan to follow, Li Yuxuan was obviously flustered, and then slowly followed.
Walking into the Colosseum, stepping on the black-brown land, Li Yuxuan actually had a feeling of blood surging, looking around, the stands dozens of meters high were now full of solemn slaves, respectfully and quietly looking at the two teenagers walking below. However, that respect is not for Li Yuxuan, but for the young man in front.
Walking through the Colosseum, entering the underground prison, stepping on the slightly damp stones, and breathing the rancid air, Li Yuxuan suppressed the doubts and curiosity in his heart, like a king inspecting the land, under the leadership of a young man, shuttled under the complex dungeon.
The land above the Colosseum is black and brown, and no one knows what color the land was at the beginning, so it is impossible to verify. The dungeons below the Colosseum are intricate, and no one knows how many cells there are and how many souls there are. The history of the Colosseum is very long, but no one knows that there is more than one floor in the dungeon. When Li Yuxuan walked through the labyrinth to one of the darkest corners, he couldn't help but think when he watched the young man push open a stone door covered with green moss and saw the wet stairs.
"The old man is down there, you can go down by yourself. The boy stood in the doorway, grim.
Li Yuxuan walked in, stopped suddenly, turned around and asked, "What do you call the little brother?"
"Little brother?" the young man paused, and wondered, "The first time I heard someone call me little brother, are you very old?"
The young man's obvious unconvincing made Li Yuxuan feel the innocence of the young man, and he couldn't help laughing,
"My name is Li Yuxuan. Li Yuxuan suddenly grimaced, then turned around and walked down, taking away a trace of ...... Rancid.
"My name is Liu ...... Enlightenment. Li Yuxuan, you have to be careful, the old man is very dissatisfied with you. The grimace in the dark haze, regardless of the quality, seemed to be relatively successful, and the boy laughed and said, "However, I am quite satisfied. ”
Li Yuxuan turned around and smiled, and walked in.
It was a very strange thing that the originally damp ground was slowly drying as the stairs went down, and the air became fresh, but what was even more strange was that when Li Yuxuan came to the end, there was nothing, only a black patch, and the stone wall on the opposite side could be vaguely seen.
Li Yuxuan touched the stone wall above, felt very dry, pushed it hard, but did not push, obviously not the expected stone door, looked around carefully, but did not find any cracks, switches or anything. Li Yuxuan was confused, and when he was confused, he only heard a "click", and a light suddenly appeared in front of him, and he smelled the fragrance of roast chicken, but it was the stone wall that separated from the middle, revealing the most mysterious place in the Colosseum.
The huge contrast appeared, which shocked Li Yuxuan's heart, but what caught his eye was the fine steel pillar that reflected the light. Li Yuxuan walked in and found a real cage, a cage made of stainless steel, which seemed so extravagant. There are sesame oil lamps lit all around, and an old man in the cage is lying on a comfortable chair, munching on chicken legs with great interest.
Ever since Liu Qizhi called out the old man, the respectful expressions of the slaves have always surprised Li Yuxuan, and he has always imagined this, what kind of person the old man is, and has always thought that the old man should be a gentleman-like figure, in the Colosseum and unstained, high and respected.
Li Yuxuan stretched out his hand and grabbed an iron pillar, just enough to close his fingers, and felt a chill from his palm, and he actually rose with his arm, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Tianshan Cold Iron?"
"This is the 10,000-year-old cold iron in the deep sea, not the legendary Tianshan cold iron, but it is even rarer than it. The old man in the cage finally finished gnawing the chicken leg in his hand, licked his fingers, touched his hands on his shirt, raised his head and said lightly: "You are Li Xia's son, there is no reason not to know." ”
Li Yuxuan couldn't help but think of the family's iron mine on the west coast of the Carol Kingdom, and also understood why the mine yield was so low, and his father still didn't give up.
"Yes, I am Li Xia's son, and I officially took over the position of head of the family from my father today, I don't know what the seniors call me?" Li Yuxuan asked as a junior.
"You are very similar to your father, polite, and you don't know what to mutter. The old man laughed and asked, "I have no name or surname, and I have stayed in this ghost place for decades, but why do people always want to come in and see me every year?"
When the old man talked about this ghost place, his eyes still blinked mischievously at Li Yuxuan, but the pride in his eyes and the vicissitudes implied in it could be felt even by this minor.
"I didn't know there was a place like this in the Colosseum, and I didn't know that there were old-timers stuck here. Li Yuxuan's heart moved, and he said honestly: "However, it seems that the life of the predecessors is quite nourishing, and it is much stronger than the slaves who are precarious above." ”
"Haha...... Interesting and interesting, you are the first person to say that my life is nourishing, and you are worthy of being a descendant of the Li family. The old man looked up to the sky and laughed, and his tears almost burst into his eyes.
Li Yuxuan stood quietly in place, not knowing what he was thinking. The old man didn't seem to finish laughing, and suddenly his face tensed, and he said coldly: "It's just that you still let me down." ”
Li Yuxuan leaned lightly on the cage, feeling the stimulation of the cold iron, and said lightly: "Oh? ”
The sudden change in the old man's feelings is nothing more than trying to control the rhythm of the conversation, let Li Yuxuan follow, and grasp the initiative in the conversation. In fact, from the beginning of the rhetorical question, the old man wanted to take the initiative, but unfortunately, the development of the situation was obviously beyond the old man's estimate, and he didn't know whether he lost to Li Xia or Li Yuxuan.
"What don't you understand?" the old man calmed down, a bit like the great elder of the Li family.
"I don't understand anything. Li Yuxuan said very honestly: "Why are you disappointed in me, in what way? Also, what is your relationship with my father, who are you, why are you in this strange place?"
The old man stretched his body, lay on the chair, and looked at Li Yuxuan quietly, without a glance. Li Yuxuan's heart was furious, leaning against the iron pillar of the cage, and his eyes stared back without showing weakness.
An old man and a young man are like lovers, and they are almost "crackling" in the air, and after a while, the old man suddenly sighed and said: "Don't you think that the appearance of Xiàn in front of the sky is too good, and in front of the nameless, the expression of Xiàn is too bad?"
"Nest?" Li Yuxuan lowered his head to hide the tiredness of his eyes, learned the old man's statement, and said, "Hehe, it's the first time I've said that I'm a nest." ”
The old man looked at Li Yuxuan with a strange smile and said, "It seems that the people around you are very confident in you." ”
"Yes, everyone's opinion of me is basically certain, there is no need to doubt it. Li Yuxuan glanced at the corner of his eyes and said with a wry smile: "I've heard some people say I'm an idiot, a fool, a dumb, and a dry eater, but no one has a bag, you say it's not funny." ”
