Chapter 149: The Man in the Stone Statue
"It seems to you that this is a treasure trove, but the old decay only thinks of it as a cellar or a storehouse. The little old man smoked his cigarette stick and smiled kindly.
"With so many jewels and good weapons, if you let the people in the martial arts outside know about it, it is estimated that it will cause a bloody storm. Isn't this a treasure trove?" Kou Hao said.
Although there are a lot of treasures here, Kou Hao didn't make a move, even if he took it with his hands, he wouldn't do it.
This is not because Kou Hao is polite, but because Kou Hao knows that in general, people who hide treasures tend to sprinkle some poison on these treasures, and once they get it, it is quite troublesome.
The little old man continued to lead the way, and said slowly: "Staying here, it is easy to earn these things, and even in the past ten years, I have asked my subordinates not to move ordinary jewelry to this cellar. ”
Kou Hao was silent, he felt that the little old man's words were true, not deliberately hypocritical to show off.
"You must be curious, how can a rabble of people on my island make a lot of money and treasures so easily?" said the little old man.
"My predecessors are really wise, I do have this doubt, and I would like to hear about it. Kou Hao arched his hand.
"There are still quite a few masters on our island, who usually hide and only go all out when they need to act. ”
The little old man said: "In today's rivers and lakes, you can't hear the names of these masters on our island, because they are always hidden, and they have no real names, just a fake name. Even they don't have any sense of self. ”
"Is Gong Jiu like this?" Kou Hao asked curiously.
"Hey, Gong Jiu is one of these subordinates. The most optimistic genius of the old decay, but unfortunately he can't forget his consciousness. I can't forget my feelings for Shaman. Such a persistent person may never have to break the jar like this. The little old man sighed.
Kou Hao was stunned. It should be said that subordinates like Gong Jiu often disobey orders and often cause trouble.
At this time, Kou Hao's thoughts were surging in his heart, guessing that it was likely that Gong Jiu was not the second master on this island, and the original book said that there was a dragon and a crouching tiger on this island, but he did not say in detail what other masters there were. Now that Kou Hao is here, presumably those masters will gradually appear, especially when they encounter important things.
"It doesn't matter. After the harem nine is completely desperate for Shaman, he may calm down. Kou Hao said.
"Don't talk about him, this kid is really a headache. It is estimated that he will wake up and go crazy for a while, of course, without this kid, the island is too deserted. ”
The little old man patted the stone statue next to him and said, "You can choose any treasure here, especially these stone statues, which are treasures brought back a few days ago, I recommend these." ”
"What's the use of the stone statues? besides, the stone statues are not easy to carry. Kou Hao said.
"It doesn't matter. I allow you to choose up to ten treasures as a greeting gift. As for large items that are inconvenient to take away, you can keep them here, and come and pick them up when you need them. The little old man pointed to the treasure chest next to him and said, "Such a big box." It's a thing, you can pick it. ”
Kou Hao suddenly thought of a truth, people who don't have much money in general. They always have to buy some good clothes and jewelry to dress up as if they were rich, but those who are really rich dress quite modestly.
The underlying reason for this should be. People who are especially rich don't care about money anymore. I don't care what others think of me or not. It's like people by the river don't care about how much water they can drink, and they don't even forget about it.
Kou Hao doesn't care about money, of course, he cares a lot before he crosses, since he is in the martial arts, Kou Hao has good martial arts, and if he wants money, he can take it casually. At this moment, Kou Hao walked in front of this row of stone statues.
To be precise, these stone statues are rather rough and sketchy, as if they were made by poor craftsmanship of stonemasons in the countryside.
They are 108,000 miles behind the Qin Terracotta Army.
"Can this really be sold for money?" asked Kou Hao, looking back at the little old man.
"Young man, truly valuable treasures cannot be measured by money, you look more carefully. The little old man said.
Kou Hao then used the Jiuyang Divine Skill, stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the stone statue, and patted, and in a moment, Kou Hao found that the face of the stone statue could be opened.
After he opened it, he saw a familiar face, an honest monk.
"He's still angry, how can he be put in a stone statue? He's an acquaintance of mine, can you save him?" Kou Hao asked.
Kou Hao didn't want to fall out with the little old man yet, so his attitude was quite friendly.
You don't need to ask to know that it must be an honest monk and some martial arts people who passed by the nearby sea by boat and encountered a shipwreck, and then they were caught by the little old man's men.
In this way, the honest monk and the others also came together that night, because the sea storm was really big.
"This monk's martial arts skills are good, and he killed two of my right-hand men. Originally, I planned to slowly recruit him as a killer under him, if you want to save it, just choose this stone statue. The little old man smiled kindly.
Kou Hao doesn't think that his smile is really kind, the real dangerous person never makes you feel dangerous, so there is no way to guard against it.
"Okay, I chose this stone statue. Kou Hao then went to open the face of the next stone statue.
The people in the next few stone statues were unrecognizable, Kou Hao continued to look at it, and saw a beautiful face in the sixth stone statue, it was Ye Xue.
And the seventh stone statue is Ye Ling, Kou Hao's heart sank: "The two daughters of the Mudao people were actually captured, and I don't know how a master like the Mudao people can practice and the daughters can't protect it?"
After thinking about it, Kou Hao also got along, in the original book, Mu Daoren was mistakenly killed by his daughter Ye Xue, which was originally ridiculous.
Of course Ye Ling and Ye Xue had to be saved, and the next few stone statues were not people they knew, and as for the last stone statue, Kou Hao was very surprised, it was actually a Mudao person.
"Mu Daoren, his other identity is an old knife handle, how could such a powerful person be caught? At that time, Mu Dao Man and I came on a boat, and Ye Ling and Ye Xue were not there, but now they are all among the stone statues here. Kou Hao didn't figure out these questions for the time being, so he didn't think much about it.
"Kou Shaoxia, why did you save a few other people? They are all good martial arts people, and their reputation in the martial arts is also good, if you save them all, you will be even more respected in the martial arts in the future. The little old man said.
"I don't care about that, besides, I have to keep a few men for the little old man. Kou Hao spread his hands.
In fact, there is no need for the little old man to say, Kou Hao also understands that it is very likely that when he captured these people before, he encountered something that could not be seen, and he killed them directly.
"Very good, you are very kind of the old man's spleen. Let's compete with the four ghost killers under my command, if you can survive the time of a stick of incense and not die, then you can take the place of Gong Jiu. The little old man said.
"Can I not risk fighting them?" Kou Hao asked.
"You don't have a choice. The figure of the little old man disappeared in a flash, and at this moment four dark shadows came out of the corner.
