Chapter 7: The Transformation of Solgar

Solga looked at the two of them in surprise, brushed his beard with his hands, his fingers interlaced with each other, his thumbs kept circling around the tiger's mouth, and he raised his eyes and looked at them with a strange look. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After a moment, Solga spoke slowly, his expression solemn, "What, have you heard?"

When Qin Ran heard this, he didn't know what to say for a long time, not only did he hear it, it was simply a thunderous existence, Qin Ran scratched his head, touched the coin he carried with him in his pocket, and wanted to say something, but looked at Solgamuna's expression, and stopped talking.

Solga saw Qin Ran's concerns, and first looked at the Raoit proverb plaque that was hanging a little too tall for his height. Turning around, he slowly walked towards the recliner on the side, "I want to say something, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Waving his hand, after Solga finished speaking, he didn't look at Qin Ran and them.

"Old man Suo, is there a second half of this proverb you said?" Qin Ran asked cautiously, for fear of annoying the old man, and he would not get any answers.

"The second half, how can there be a second half?" Solgar heard this, his tone trembled slightly, and he habitually touched his beard.

"Qin Ran, just ask if you have anything, don't be so distracted, Old Man Solga is not the kind of person who is not easy to talk to, right, old man. Zhang Zhensan saw that Solga was not so resistant, and hurriedly came over to make a round and gave Qin Ran a look.

Solga didn't react when he heard Zhang Zhensan say this, just slowly lay down and closed his eyes to recuperate. Looks like they don't care.

"Old man, you don't know about this, this sentence should be two sentences, the first half of the sentence is where there is light, there is a shadow, the second half of the sentence... Qin Ran deliberately paused, raised his eyes to see Solgar's reaction, and then said, "The second half of this sentence is written that where there is a shadow, there is gold. ”

"Ahem, ahem," Solga suddenly coughed violently, apparently with a momentary mood swing, leading to a rush of anger. Seeing this, Qin Ran stepped forward quickly, picked up the water cup on the table, took half a glass of water, and respectfully handed it to Solgar. At the same time, Zhang Zhensan also stepped forward and helped Solga up from the recliner.

"Old man, drink some water. Qin Ran handed over the water at the right time, "What's wrong with you, all of a sudden... ”

Before Qin Ran could finish speaking, Solga knocked the water cup in his hand to the ground, and the water in the cup almost splashed Qin Ran. Qin Ran was a little annoyed by this sudden move, and brushed his clothes with his hands, suppressing his anger, but still calm. "Old man, why are you doing this, I don't know why I annoy you old. ”

"Zhang Zhensan, I don't care who the person you brought, I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood today, you can do it, I won't send it. Solga looked very angry and pulled Zhang Zhensan to him, "I'll say it again, you should leave me with your friend, otherwise I'm welcome!"

Zhang Zhensan saw that Sol Jia really had a temper, and he was afraid that he would really be angry for a while, so he hurriedly walked to Qin Ran's side and whispered in his ear: "Why don't we go, you see that this old man is not light, we can't be angry with him, let's go outside the door and wait for a while, and we will come back when he is angry." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Zhensan pulled Qin Ran to the door, "This old man is really inexplicable, where did I recruit him to provoke him." Qin Ran was full of unhappiness, and kept complaining as he walked. "If it weren't for something to ask for, I would have been able to serve him rarely!"

The two left Solgar's residence and stopped in the open space in front of the house.

"What is he so impressed by? The mention of the second half of the idol and the proverb is like gunpowder. Sooner or later, he will be angry with himself in this mountain. Qin Ran still didn't lose his breath, and he kept scolding.

"Don't you think that the more he is like this, the more problematic it is? Zhang Zhen lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said a little calmly.

"Give me roots. Zhang Zhensan took out the cigarette and handed it over directly, Qin Ran took it, took out one, put it to his mouth, lit the fire, took a sharp breath, and as the cigarette slowly overflowed from his nose, looking at Solgar's residence, Qin Ran smiled strangely, and said to himself: "Old man, don't blame me for not respecting you for a while, junior, I want to tease you." Thinking about it, he took another puff of his cigarette, threw the rest of it into place, and stomped it out with his foot.

"Qin Ran, what are you going to do, don't come nonsense, Solga is also an elderly person, and he can't stand your toss. Looking at Qin Ran's smile, Zhang Zhensan knew what kind of idea he had come up with, he knew Qin Ran too well, who was willing to suffer.

"Don't worry, I'm in control. ”

Qin Ran touched the rubbing stone hanging on his chest, raised his eyes to look at the sun in the sky, looked around, and then stopped his gaze in front of Solga's wooden house, and saw Qin Ran's shadow leaning in front of Solga's door at this time, Qin Ran concentrated, slowly stretched out his left hand, and made a nudge motion to push the door, the shadow instantly moved to the door, the black swallowed the entire door, and the "squeak" door was pushed open by the black shadow at once. After training, Qin Ran has become much more proficient in the manipulation of shadows. I saw that the shadow pushed open the door, and without stopping too long, it went straight into the house along the ground, and the black image was deliberate, and when it passed the chaise longue, it crawled over Solgar's body, and completely enveloped him in a black patch.

Zhang Zhensan was afraid that Solga would have an accident, so he hurriedly ran to the room to see the old man's condition. But Qin Ran didn't play enough, he directly manipulated the shadow, took down the Laout plaque hanging in the Solga house, and quickly retreated with the plaque, Zhang Zhensan was startled by the plaque that suddenly appeared in front of him, seeing that he couldn't dodge, Zhang Zhensan instinctively closed his eyes, and when he was about to collide head-on, the plaque stopped straight in front of Zhang Zhensan, slowly opened his eyes, and saw the scene in front of him, Zhang Zhensan's sweat seeped out densely from his forehead.

"Hahaha," Qin Ran's hearty laughter came from behind him. "Well, I'm in control now. As he spoke, he controlled the plaque and shook it from side to side.

"You're scaring me to death. You call it measured, if Solga scares something in a while, I'm not done with you!" Zhang Zhensan roared from the side. Looking at Qin Ran angrily, his hands clenched into fists, and he trembled slightly.

Qin Ran looked at his reaction, and knew that he had played, so he quickly controlled the shadow, hung the plaque back intact, and walked over quickly.

Just as Qin Ran and Zhang Zhensan were arguing at the door, they didn't notice that Solga was already standing quietly at the door.

Looking at Zhang Zhensan, who was still arguing with him, Qin Ran was a little impatient, waved his hand to him, signaling that it was okay, Zhang Zhensan didn't care, he was still chattering there.

"Ahem. It wasn't until Solga coughed loudly on purpose that the two outside the door spotted Solga standing behind the door.

"Old man, you're not scared, are you. Zhang Zhensan cares about Solga's body from the bottom of his heart, after all, the relationship between the two of them is also a teacher and a friend, Zhang Zhensan has learned a lot about archaeology here before, and he has always regarded him as a teacher.

Solga didn't speak, just looked at Qin Ran with a resolute expression, different from the previous indifference, there was a slight admiration in his eyes now.

Seeing that Solga didn't speak, Zhang Zhensan looked at Qin Ran and gave him a look.

Qin Ran also knew that he had gone too far in his joke, and his face was a little embarrassed. "Old man, I'm really embarrassed just now, I just wanted to make a joke on you, I didn't think about scaring you, you're okay. Qin Ran scratched his head as he spoke, his eyes full of guilt.

Solga's eyes never left Qin Ran, just staring like this. He habitually brushed his beard, straightened the turban he was wearing on his head, then closed his eyes, folded his hands on his chest, and muttered to himself, unable to hear what he was saying, or not at all.

"This is ... As soon as Qin Ran wanted to speak, Solga opened his eyes and put his hand on Qin Ran's hand.

"You are ... Shadow Tamer?" Solga's eyes lit up, and before the two outside the door understood what was going on, he said to himself: "Quick, come in, let's talk slowly, finally waited, I didn't expect, I searched for most of my life, and when I lost hope, you came to the door by yourself, and finally waited." Solga repeated the words and pulled the two into the house without saying a word.

This 180-degree change before and after made Qin Ran at a loss, and even Zhang Zhensan was confused. But now it seems that Solga should have told them some secrets, and it didn't matter, the two followed, one after the other, into the house.

Solga still walked to the chaise longue, then sat down slowly, beckoned, and motioned for the two of them to come forward. Zhang Zhensan and Qin Ran looked at each other, looked at each other for a moment, and came to Solgar.

"Just now, was it the shadow you controlled?" Solga asked as he looked at Qin Ran with a peaceful gaze.

"That's right, old man, don't be afraid, since you are a friend of the oily head, I will definitely not hurt you, I just wanted to joke with you. ”

"Oh, oily head?" Solga heard this title, and looked at Zhang Zhensan with a smile, "Xiao Zhang, I like this title of yours very much" laughed out loud after speaking. "Xiao Qin, Xiao Zhang, sit down, didn't you just want to ask about the statue of the god of Manxi Kingdom, I'll tell you now. "Compared to before, Solga's language is kind and peaceful, and it makes people feel very comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

"Do you know why I resisted so much when you first arrived?"

"That's exactly what we want to ask, old man, is something unpleasant going on?" Zhang Zhensan asked with concern.

"It's all for that idol!" Solga sighed deeply, "those wolf-hearted things!" he cursed fiercely. Brushing his beard, Thor took a deep breath, steadied himself, and gradually said, "Just one day a few months ago, I had a group of people here. ”

Solga looked at the lush gold flowers outside the window, and sighed to himself: "It's good to have them, otherwise I would... Speaking of this, his eyes were a little moist, he clenched his fists tightly, and continued through gritted teeth: "When these people first came, they said that they were doing an archaeological show. You need to know something from me, and then you can go into the house and talk to me. I don't know where they learned that I had a note on the country of Manhi. ”

"Manxi country notes?" Qin Ran looked a little surprised, turned his head, and looked at Zhang Zhensan.

"That's the old man's baby, the last time I came, the old man didn't bother to show it to me. Zhang Zhensan's tone was a little regretful, after all, it was a record of Solga's lifelong exploration of Manxi culture.

"When they came, they brought me a lot of things, and at the end they took out a stack of money, saying that they wanted to buy my notes, and then they could organize people to excavate the relics of the Manhi culture. You say, I'm old, what's the use of living in seclusion in this Hidden Dragon Mountain, taking money? Through conversation, I feel that those people are not simple, and they seem to have other purposes. It was rejected at the time. I didn't expect that... Solga sighed again.

"What did they do to you?"

"They threatened to set fire to my house if they didn't give it. Solga said with a little frustration and coughed violently. Zhang Zhensan wanted to go over and help him, but he waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need to. After taking a sip of water, Solgar looked at the Raout proverb hanging on the wall and smiled slightly. "I'm not afraid of death, I don't have long to live at my age, and I'm also worried about the plaque hanging on the wall. It's a testament to my magical years in Laout. In Solga's opinion, his life is far less than the love that the patriarch gave him.

"After the man in charge took what he wanted, before leaving, he asked his men to pour gasoline on the side of my house and light a fire. ”

"These beasts, they know how to bully the weak and fear the hard!" Zhang Zhensan was a little indignant when he heard this, and it was not surprising that he thought of Solga's previous reaction to resist.

Solgar looked out the window again, paused, and continued. "The smoke was billowing and the flames were blazing, and in a few moments I was fainted and unconscious. When I woke up again, there was a whole mountain of rubbing flowers growing behind my house! I think it must have been the Raot people who were blessing me, and in this moment the overgrown tops held my house in the middle, and I was able to survive. ”

If Zhang Zhensan realized, no wonder he hadn't seen it before, it was because after experiencing this fire, the back mountain grew.

"Do you know, this golden flower is the symbol of the Manxi country, you see its spiraling growth, like the architecture of the Manxi country, this plant is in the place where people are rarely visited, even where the cliffs are precipitous, it will grow very well. ”

"By the way, do you still remember the appearance of the gang of people who came at that time?" Qin Ran asked angrily, if he has the opportunity, he must help Sol add this evil breath.

"I don't know who they are, but I remember the person who led the way, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a hairstyle like Xiao Zhang. "I remember, his men seemed to call him ... Call Him ... I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't think about it.

"Do you call him Second Master Qi?!" Zhang Zhensan jumped up all of a sudden.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, that's what it's called, Second Master Qi. As soon as he was reminded, Solga immediately remembered.

"Qi Er, you are too inhuman, bullying an old man!"

"Why, you know who?"

"I know too well! Old man Suo, don't worry, we helped you out. Qin Ran patted his chest and promised Solgar to come down. After a pause, Qin Ran asked a little puzzled, "What exactly did you write down in that note that made Qi Er rush to it?"

"The information about the statue of the god Manhi is recorded, and ... Solga smiled, his eyes shining at Qin Ran, "Your situation is also recorded." ”

"Me?" Qin Ran was surprised, not knowing how to answer.

"To be precise, it's someone like you, someone who can control the shadows. Solga stroked his beard and smiled at the bewildered young man in front of him. "You, like them, are called the Shadow Tamer. ”
