Chapter 488: Seeing Courage
Xiong Tiannan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Hua Bushi: "You said that Miss Lan'er, they have been in the stone gate for so long, and Weishenme hasn't come out yet?"
Hua Bushi didn't answer, he still sat cross-legged on the ground motionless, not even lifting his eyelids.
In fact, the anxiety in the heart of this eldest young master was ten times better than that of Xiong Tiannan. Of course, he had already seen Liang Wude's murderous intent before, although he didn't know how Dao Ma Rulan dragged Liang Wude Xiong Bailing in the stone room, but the time would definitely not be too long, and now he had to take action as soon as possible before they came back to change the situation, and it was the only chance for Hua Bushi and Sima Rulan to save their lives.
Hua Bushi was anxious, but he didn't show a trace of expression on the surface. He knew very well that even if Xiong Tiannan was not too smart, he was already wary, and if he took the initiative to say anything to him, it would not be easy to deceive him, so Hua Bushi made a gesture, closed his eyes and recuperated himself, and ignored him.
Xiong Tiannan really refused to take a break, his voice raised three points again, and shouted: "Hey, surnamed Hua, this son is talking to you, did you hear it!"
Hua Bushi finally opened his eyes slowly, but still didn't answer, but said, "Master Xiong, do you know that Miss Lan'er doesn't like you, but she likes me?"
Speaking of which, it is indeed Xiong Tiannan's heart disease all along. He and Sima Rulan grew up together in Okura City, and they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and his self-righteous martial arts appearance, family wealth, and everything is much stronger than this vicious dog young master, but Sima Rulan is disdainful of him, but he has a soft spot for this useless Hua Bushi, which makes this Xiong Gongzi deeply confused.
But Hua Bushi asked, but Xiong Tiannan's mouth was not convinced, and said: "You kid just relied on the ability to train dogs to please Sister Lan'er, and she was deceived by you without noticing for a while!
Hua Bushi smiled and said: "This is not what Master Xiong said! There are so many people in Okura City who can train dogs, how can Miss Lan'er just like to be here? You must know that the men that Miss Lan'er likes are firstly a well-informed and capable man, and secondly, a heroic man with great courage, and in terms of two points, I am much stronger than you. ”
Xiong Tiannan said: "Nonsense! This son must be knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he must be brave and courageous, which is Miss Lan'er's favorite kind of hero, how can you, an incompetent person who doesn't know martial arts, be stronger than me!"
If Hua Bushi talked about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and literary talents, Xiong Tiannan would probably know that his own skills were not enough, but when it came to insight and courage, he would be willing to admit defeat.
Hua Bushi said: "The so-called knowledge refers to knowing things that others don't know, and the so-called courage is daring to do things that others dare not do, both of which have nothing to do with the level of martial arts, if you don't believe that I am stronger than you, we might as well compare." ”
Xiong Tiannan said: "How do I want to compare?"
Hua Bushi thought for a while and said, "Let's compare our knowledge first." Did you see the stone statue over there?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the winged statue of the serpent in the center of the altar.
Xiong Tiannan said: "See!"
Hua Bushi said: "If you can tell the name and origin of the big snake carved from the stone statue, then you have some knowledge." ”
Xiong Tiannan stared at the stone snake for a long time, and said: "How can there be a strange snake with wings in this world, this stone statue must have been carved out by the One Piece Tuoba Qingtian himself who was idle and had nothing to do, and there is no name at all, how can I know!"
Hua Bushi said: "How could Tuoba Qingtian put the strange snake that he thought up to be on this altar to worship?
Xiong Tiannan said angrily: "Who is my shallow knowledge! Do you know this strange snake?"
Hua Bushi smiled: "I have higher knowledge than you, of course I know." ”
Xiong Tiannan said: "Then tell me what is the origin of the name of this strange snake?"
Hua Bushi said: "This stone statue is carved by one of the six sacred beasts of ancient times, named the beetle snake. The so-called six divine beasts are the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Xuanwu, the Vermilion Bird, the Gou Chen and the beetle snake. The snake has been cultivated for thousands of years into a beetle, and the beetle has become a dragon after the catastrophe, although the beetle snake is not as good as the real dragon, but the ability is not low, not only good water, but also can call the wind and rain, and drive the clouds and fog. "Xunzi Persuasion Chapter" has a cloud, "The beetle snake flies without feet, and the flying squirrel is poor with five skills", which is talking about this kind of divine snake. There is also Cao Mengde's 'Divine Turtle in the Three Kingdoms of the Later Han Dynasty, although it is long-lived, there is still a time. The poem "The beetle snake rides the fog and eventually turns into ashes" is also widely spread. ”
The eldest young master was endless, and he spoke a long speech, Xiong Tiannan seemed to understand it or not, and he didn't know why, and said: "There are a lot of these messy slots you talked about, most of them are nonsense, even if there is really any divine beast beetle snake, how can you prove that this stone statue is the beetle snake?"
Hua Bushi said: "It's not easy to prove it, you look at the altar over there, 'The five elements converge, and the god beetle is complete', this 'god beetle' refers to the beetle snake, where can there be a fake?"
Xiong Tiannan looked at it and saw that the bluestone table in the center of the altar was engraved with eight seal characters. This Xiong Dagongzi doesn't know many words, if these words are written in italics, he can still recognize at least one or two of them, but even if it is a seal book, in his eyes, it has become a twist bean sprout, and he can't recognize a word.
But even so, Xiong Tiannan's mouth was not convinced, and said: "I don't even know these words, where is the rotten snake that can't be found, you don't want to lie to me!"
Hua Bushi said: "You can't recognize the beetle snake, and you can't recognize the seal characters, and you still refuse to admit that you are shallow?"
Xiong Tiannan said: "Why do you want to admit it? Although I don't know this strange snake, you can't do anything nonsense, neither of us knows this thing, at most it's just a tie, and no one has a stronger insight!"
This Xiong Dagongzi doesn't learn and has no skills, and he has no ink on his chest, and he has quite a set of tricks.
Hua Bushi smiled, didn't care, and said: "That's it, even if the two of us are tied, do you dare to compare your courage with me again?"
Xiong Tiannan said: "Why don't you dare, how do you want to compare?"
Hua Bushi said: "Others often say that destroying the statue of the god will be punished by heaven, this statue of the beetle snake is offered on this altar, there will be some doorways, most of them will be protected by the gods, do you dare to smash it? If you really dare, Hua Bushi will admire your courage and think that you are inferior!"
Xiong Tiannan pouted and said: "What's so difficult about this? That strange snake statue is just a stubborn stone, if you smash it, you will smash it, where will there be any heavenly curse!"
This Xiong Dagongzi has little other skills, but he is very good at destroying things, and the martial arts master may not be able to beat it, but it is no problem to deal with a stone statue that will not fight back. Xiong Tiannan rolled his sleeve tube to his elbow, strode to the stone statue, and was about to smash the stone statue, but his palm had just been raised, and he stopped.
He said "hehe" and said with a smile: "The boy surnamed Hua, you are really scheming, there are many mechanisms in this treasure cave, and most of this stone statue is also equipped with news ambushes, you tricked me into smashing the stone statue, you want the mechanism to be launched against me, this son is not so stupid!"
Hua Bushi sat on the ground, but he also smiled and said: "Master Xiong, you are really too suspicious! This cave Hua Bushi is also coming in for the first time, how can you know where there is an ambush?"
Xiong Tiannan thought for a while and said, "That's true, but you kid is very insidious, this son still has to be careful, I can't get your way......"
As soon as he said "I can't get on the road", the stone slab under his feet "clicked" and sank three inches.
The position under Xiong Tiannan's feet was exactly where Sima Rulan's gaze swept when he left just now. Now that Sima Rulan's acupoint has been sealed, Hua Bushi has no martial arts, and he can't fight the other party at all, even if he uses shipbuilding drawings and martial arts secrets, it is still not enough to coerce Liang Wude, the old fox, so the only thing that can be used is the ambush of the mechanism in the secret cave.
Hua Bushi didn't mistake the meaning of Sima Rulan's glance, but he knew very well that his every move was under the surveillance of Xiong Tiannan and a group of pirate minions, and it was impossible to get to the position in front of the stone statue.
At this time, Xiong Tiannan and the pirate minions on the side were all shocked, especially Xiong Tiannan himself, his face turned pale with fright, and he immediately shrank into a ball with his head in his hands, wanting to ambush the hidden weapon shot by the defense agency. However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement in all directions, and there was no imaginary hidden weapon shooting.
Xiong Tiannan kicked his feet and jumped out of the Zhang Xu, and the stone slab that was sunken by his feet made another "click" and bounced back to its original place.
He was overjoyed and shouted, "Haha, I'm fine! This secret cave has been built for too long, and the ambush has failed!"
However, Xiong Tiannan's hahadaxiao voice did not fall, but he only heard a loud "boom", and the entire cave was shaken!
The people on the altar were shocked again, but they didn't know where the sound came from, and Xiong Tiannan, who thought that he had escaped, was still elated, but he was also stunned when he heard the sound, and he was a little at a loss.
The figure of the stone gate on the rock wall in the distance flickered, and Liang Wude, Xiong Bailing, and Sima Rulan finally appeared from inside the door. I saw Liang Wude carrying a big burden on his back, swept up in the air, and swept towards the stone platform, while Xiong Bailing was holding Sima Rulan's arm and also used light skills to rush over.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them had returned to the stone platform, and Liang Wude's fierce gaze swept over Xiong Tiannan, Hua Bushi, and several pirate minions, and asked, "What happened just now, where did that loud noise come from?"
Xiong Tiannan didn't speak, Hua Bushi also bowed his head and didn't speak, but the four pirate minions didn't dare not answer, and the pirate named Chi Haigu said: "Back to the fifth master, we don't know very well, just now Xiong Dagongzi stepped on the mechanism in front of the stone snake statue, and then there was that sound, it sounded like it came from the secret passage behind." ”
Liang Wude's face sank, and he said, "You and Liu Da go over and check it out!"
