Chapter 221: The Silver-Haired Old Man
A dark underground passage with the faint sound of footsteps. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Two people walked slowly down the passage. The former man was carrying a small lantern, and he was a white-faced bearded old man. The latter person has a round figure, which is Qi Gu Nan, who is separated from Liu Tiansheng.
The two walked quietly for a long time until they reached the end of the passage. Here, there is a closed stone door.
The old man stepped forward and knocked on the stone door a few times. Soon a dull, slightly hoarse voice was heard from withinβ
"Come in. β
The old man turned around and pressed lightly somewhere next to the stone door.
The stone door slowly turned open, and the old man raised his hand to lead, and said to Qi Gu Nan: "County Lord, you can go in by yourself, the old slave is waiting here." β
Qi Gu Nan nodded and stepped into the stone gate.
This is a three-meter-square stone room, with a small high platform in the middle, on which a silver-haired old man sits with his back to the stone door. On the top of the stone chamber is a fist-sized night pearl, which shines with pale blue light, illuminating the interior of the room.
Qi Gu Nan stood behind the silver-haired old man, bowed his head slightly, and said respectfully: "Grandpa Xu!"
"What's the matter?" the silver-haired old man's voice sounded corrupt, like a dying man who would step into a coffin at any moment.
Qi Gu Nan took out the envelope, held it with both hands, and said, "My little uncle Qi Gu Fengjun asked me to hand over this letter to you!"
"Windhale?" said the silver-haired old man, after a pause in his voice, "put the letter on the ground, and you can go back." β
"Yes!" Qi Gu Nan placed the envelope on the ground smoothly and exited the stone chamber.
The stone door closed, and the silver-haired old man raised his withered hand and struck back, and the envelope flew into his hand. Tearing the letter apart, the silver-haired old man slowly read it. Then, with a slight twist of his withered fingers on the letter and envelope, the letter paper and envelope spontaneously combusted.
After the letter paper and envelope all turned into ashes, the silver-haired old man raised his head slightly, stared at the night pearl on his head, and sighed: "Brother Yuntian, this is probably the last time I will help these juniors of yours." You're waiting, and in a little while, I'll be looking for you. You need good wine and meat to prepare, and when the time comes, we will catch up with the old days!"
Under the blue glow of the Night Pearl, the silver-haired old man's face was shriveled and bone-like, and his eyes were sunken like holes, which looked not much different from a skull.
......
By a small pond in the courtyard of the mansion, Liu Tiansheng was lying on a couch, looking up at the white clouds in the sky. Holding a fishing rod in his hand, Liu Tiansheng opened his mouth slightly, and a maid next to him immediately handed the peeled flesh fruit to his mouth. Biting lightly, a sweet fragrance overflowed his mouth, making Liu Tiansheng squint his eyes, and sighed that he was really going to be corrupt and degenerate!
Then let the corruption and degeneration come more violently! Liu Tiansheng shouted silently, swallowed his mouth full of liquid, and opened his mouth again.
Liu Tiansheng didn't wait for the flesh fruit, he couldn't help but open his eyes and look at the maid next to him, and saw the maid stand up, salute Liu Tiansheng's back and say, "County Lord!"
Liu Tiansheng immediately sat up from the chair, turned his head to look behind him, and said with a smile: "Xiao Nan, you finally came to me." β
"I'm afraid that some people don't want to be found by me!" Qi Gu Nan said coldly, "Am I disturbing your enjoyment?"
"Ahaha, where do I have enjoyment?" Liu Tiansheng sneered, threw the fishing rod away, stood up, and said haha, "I didn't wait for you to wait too long, a little boring, so I came out to bask in the sun." β
"Oh, that's right. Qi Gu Nan smiled faintly, didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
Liu Tiansheng hurriedly followed, and said with a flattering smile: "Xiao Nan, where are we going?"
Qi Gu Nan glanced at Liu Tiansheng and said, "You are the first time to come to the Imperial City, I'll take you around." β
"Then I dare to be good, I just want to see the style of the imperial city. Liu Tiansheng laughed, and when he heard this, it was perfunctory.
Qi Gu Nan didn't care, and led Liu Tiansheng out of the alley from the back door of the mansion.
Liu Tiansheng frowned and asked, "Xiao Nan, why do we keep going through the back door, I still want to see what the front door of your house looks like?"
"Isn't it just a mansion gate, what's there to see?"
Liu Tiansheng said with a smile: "Of course, there is nothing to see at the door of other people's houses, but this is your house, I have to remember what your house is like, right? β
"Who wants you to come to my house?" a flush flashed on Qi Gu Nan's face, but he quickly turned cold again, and his steps quickened.
Liu Tiansheng laughed and chattered around Qi Gu Nan.
The two walked several streets along the way, not buying a single thing, and never stopping in front of a store. really responded to Qi Gu Nan's words, just to take Liu Tiansheng around.
Liu was born to be quite weird. This chubby girl is really different, shopping is so crisp. If they continue to walk like this, what is the difference between this day and their previous journey? Liu Tiansheng rolled his eyes, and he was about to stop Qi Gu Nan. But suddenly I heard a loud commotion in front of me.
"The Colosseum of the Beijing Tiger has opened today!"
Liu Tiansheng raised his eyebrows, and suddenly said to Qi Gu Nan: "Xiao Nan, you brought me here, right?"
Qi Gu Nan nodded and said, "Anyway, there is nothing to do, why don't you come over and see what kind of name this Jinghu Colosseum is!"
"Then why did you say you were taking me around?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to see the following Imperial City?" Qi Gu Nan smiled, "So I'll let you take a good look at what the Imperial City is like." I've deliberately turned a few more streets, how about it, do you have an impression of the Imperial City now?"
Watching Qi Gu Nan chuckle and walk forward, Liu Tiansheng blinked his eyes a few times and was stunned for a moment. Hey, this fat girl can actually play tricks on people? Liu Tiansheng pulled a strange smile at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know what to say.
The two came to the gate of the Jinghu Colosseum, and many people were already gathered outside the door. Most of them are magic card masters, and a small number of them are richly dressed, either rich or people with status.
The Colosseum is a five-story tower with walls more than 10 meters high on both sides of the tower, and the walls on both sides span a distance of 100 meters, showing domineering.
Entering the gate of the Colosseum, Liu Tiansheng and Qi Gu Nan were led to the counter by the guards at the door, and there was a slightly chubby middle-aged man behind the counter. The middle-aged man didn't despise Liu Tiansheng and the two because they were young, put on a gentle smile and said, "Two guests, are you here to challenge or to watch?"
Chigunan replied, "Watch." β
"If you want to watch, there are two seats in the Colosseum. One gold coin for the ordinary audience and ten gold for the VIP seat, which one do you want?"
"VIP seats. Qi Gu Nan said lightly, and put down two large gold dollars on the counter.
The middle-aged man put the big gold dollar away and pulled it on a hanging line behind the counter. Soon, a good-looking maid walked out of the lobby. The middle-aged man said, "Take the two distinguished guests to the VIP seat on the eleventh." β
"Yes!" the maid walked up to Liu Tiansheng and Qi Gu Nan and led the way, "Two guests, please come with the slave maid." β
