Chapter 17: The Strange Old Man Breaks the Head Case

"Who are you, old immortal, how do you know about the 'blood fat'?"

"Rolling in the mud" heard what the old man said, everything was hidden in his heart, and he couldn't help but look at him a few more times in surprise.

The old man seemed to be intoxicated with the beauty of the red sun in the fog in front of him, and he did not say anything for a long time. Occasionally, a puff of light smoke exhaled from his mouth, illuminated by the warm light, made him look even more leisurely.

"Old thing, why don't you answer when I ask you?"

"What's the answer? It's just a dirt dog barking, so why should I bother with it? The old man still maintained the posture just now, and replied casually without even looking at him.

"You ......"

These words choked "rolling in the mud" enough, and blocked the pulse of the heart for a while, and he couldn't even say half a word. I had to stare at the old man viciously, and gritted my teeth.

"What? Unconvinced? Do you still want to compete with me, an old man? I'm afraid you can't do it alone, if you call your master, you should still have the strength to fight." ”

The old man who suddenly appeared in front of him seemed to know everything about his side, and although he was unhappy in his heart, he would never dare to underestimate this person.

If it is only about force, a Lu Qian has already made him anxious, and now with such a master who jumped out of nowhere, I am afraid that he will only be captured alive when he moves, so it is better to use that trick, and then turn back to report to the prince to see how he decides.

Thinking of this, "rolling in the mud" risked his life, made a ruthless move, and jumped backwards while the two of them were not paying attention. Seeing this, Lu Qian and the old man almost set off together to catch up. The three of them were like three meteors, shuttling through each other in the morning light shrouded in a faint layer of mist. When it was chased to the base of a wall, the stool rolled and disappeared from sight.

Lu Qian looked around carefully for a long time, but he couldn't find anything abnormal, and the momentary eagerness to catch the thief made him mess up. And at this moment, it has to be said that the old man is well-informed, and when he saw the "rolling in the mud" rushing here and disappearing out of thin air, he already knew the trick he was playing.

He walked leisurely to a somewhat cracked wall, pulled out the overgrown weeds, and used the silver cigarette stick in his hand to find a few places on the east and west sides, and knocked a few times as if it were regular, and then stroked his goatee and nodded knowingly.

"Old man, what have you discovered?" Lu Qian asked when he saw his appearance, and hurriedly walked closer.

The old man did not rush to answer, but pouted at a wall brick and motioned for him to come over and take a look.

Lu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came to his senses. According to the position given by the old man, he groped with his hands for a while. After finding something unusual, he pushed the brick into it with all his might, only to hear a sound of cheating in the ear chakra, and then a black hole appeared in front of him from under the wall.

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Lu Qian raised his leg and was about to go inside, but was grabbed by the old man. This seemingly dry and wrinkled hand actually has a great strength. The arm he was holding on to felt as if there was an invisible chain, tightly locked.

"Alas, young man, after all, he is a young man!" said the old man, as he took two stones out of his bosom and drove them into the mouth of the passage.

Not long after the stone entered, two cold rays of light suddenly shot out from inside. The old man's eyes were quick, and he immediately pinched the two rays of light in his hand and handed them to Lu Qian, which turned out to be two sharp short arrows!

Lu Qian, who was taken aback by what he saw, couldn't help but gasp. If it weren't for the old man's timely stopping, I'm afraid I would have been hit by the trap.

"Thank you for the old man's reminder, dare to ask the seniors their names, why did they come here?" Lu Qian, who was deeply favored by the old man, asked after bowing respectfully.

"Haha, the little hero is polite, meeting is fate. As for the word honorific surname, you don't dare to take it, the old man's name is not enough to worry about, not enough to worry about it......" Seeing that Lu Qian was so polite, the old man also waved his hand again and again.

"As for why we are here, it's a coincidence. Originally, I was used to being old and carefree, and I liked to walk slowly on the three mountains and leisurely visit the five mountains on weekdays. I accidentally passed by here, and I heard that there was a 'ghost harming people', so I became interested, and I relied on the skills I learned when I was young, and began to secretly investigate the matter. ”

The old man seemed to be addicted to cigarettes as he spoke, and knocked the cigarette pouch pot casually to make the leaves in it burn more fully, and then took a big puff of it, and then slowly exhaled a puff of ethereal smoke before he continued with satisfaction.

"According to my investigation in recent days, these guys will rely on their own height and height to get up and down on the fifteenth day of the new year, using the whistle as a signal, pretending to be a ghost and killing people, and the means are cruel and not for money. And this method happens to be quite similar to the cultivation requirements of an evil skill, so I tentatively conclude that their purpose in doing so is for this method. ”

"Oh, I see. Then why didn't the old-timers stop them, capture them in time, and eliminate the harm for the people?"

"Alas, to put it simply, the two twin brothers who did it with you just now are just pawns, and they are not very clever in their skills, so it can be inferred that the cultivator of the evil skill must be someone else, and you should understand the reason for casting a long line to catch a big fish. ”

"It seems that this matter is similar to what I originally thought, I felt strange when I first heard about the ghost, but for a while I couldn't think of the problem, and after you said this, my mind suddenly became clear. ”

"Haha, the children are teachable. I have followed them secretly, but I have not penetrated them because they are too cunning, their dwellings are quite hidden, and there is a fear that there will be a mechanism set up. It's just that on the way, I heard them mention the title of 'Gongye', and this person should be the mastermind behind the scenes. ”

At this point, the old man looked around, and as if he had remembered something at once, he bent down to pick up a dead branch from the ground and threw it into the passage that was not too deep.

"Come on, come on, don't just stand stupidly, get me some dry branches. The old man commanded the landing and migration, and kept carrying some dry branches, leaves, and the like and putting them at the mouth of the passage.

After a while, the entrance of the black hole was full of branches. Lu Qian wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and asked puzzledly, "Senior, what do you want these for?"

"Smoked rat!" With that, the old man took out the thing that ignited the fire from his waist, smashed it up and down, and a little spark rushed to the dry pile of dead wood, and then gradually expanded from a small mass, and in the blink of an eye there was thick smoke.

The old man smiled with satisfaction, and tapped the bricks on the wall with his cigarette stick, and the machine began to work again, and the billowing smoke began to slowly close with the passage, and disappeared into the grass.
