Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 331: The art of hearing

Views:

Hearing this sudden and old voice coming from behind him, the reaction of the man in black robe was as fast as lightning and as moving as thunder. He bent down, turned around, and struck out his palm in one go.

The fighting spirit of the tenth-level warrior instantly rolled like a dragon, condensing behind the man into a huge, ferocious reptile fighting spirit totem that Zhang Tie had never seen before. After being chased by that man, Zhang Tie saw for the first time what the battle spirit totem of a tenth-level warrior looked like.

There was like a muffled thunder in the air, and the man's two palms were instantly printed on the chest of the man standing behind him.

Time seems to have stopped at this moment...

The man in black robe finally saw clearly who the person behind him was.

It was an old man, an old man who looked like a beggar, with messy hair and somewhat tattered clothes.

The man was shocked, but he was not as shocked as Zhang Tie, because Zhang Tie knew this old man, but never thought that he would appear here or in this way.

Just now, when Zhang Tie stared, he saw with his own eyes the old man walking out of the river of magma, just like he was walking out of an ordinary river.

Someone can actually enter the magma? Zhang Tie felt that his brain was slightly short-circuited.

For a moment, Zhang Tie even wondered if he was hallucinating. But the reaction of the man in black robe told Zhang Tie that this was not his hallucination, because the man in black robe also heard and saw it, and he put his palms with all his strength on the old man's face. chest.

What are the consequences of being hit with all his strength by the palms of a tenth-level strong warrior? If it were Zhang Tie himself, Zhang Tie knew that his only ending would be one word - death!

The old man didn't hang up. Even the expression on his face and the messy hair on his head didn't move. He just looked at the man in black robe, and the man began to scream loudly.

Zhang Tie also opened his mouth slightly, looking at the guy who was chasing him majestically just now, his face distorted like a little girl who had been raped, and he screamed in terror.

"Ah, how could this happen? The back of my hand was sucked. Who are you, ah..."

The man's hands did not actually hit the old man's body, but were just a centimeter or two away from touching the old man's clothes when they were blocked by an invisible layer on the old man's body. That thing not only blocked the man's attack, but also seemed to "glue" the man's hand, making it impossible for the man to break free...

"Today's young people really don't know how to respect the old and cherish the young..." The beggar-like old man sighed, "I haven't done anything to you, are you going to kill me? Sigh..."

Amid the man's screams and Zhang Tie's astonishment. The hands of the tenth-level strong warrior, from the palm to the shoulders, connected to the sleeves, turned red, dried, and hardened in just a few seconds, as if they were stretched into high-temperature magma. Blackened, carbonized, and spread like a pile of dried soot, scattering all over the place…

The tenth-level strong warrior who lost his hands and became disabled in a few seconds spit out a mouthful of blood and then fell to the sky.

After the man fell down, the beggar-like old man looked at Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie rubbed his eyes first, then swallowed hard, looked at the old man, and tried his best to put on a stiff smile on his face, "Old... Master. We... we meet again... "

This man was the old beggar Zhang Tie saw at the dock and Bailong Town a few days ago. When I first met the old man here in Bailong Town, he was thrown into the street by several servants from the Zhao Mansion in Bailong Town. He was almost beaten. Zhang Tie even took out his wallet and gave it to him. he.

Since that day. This old man would occasionally go to the pier to watch Zhang Tie release sand scales. The old man didn't talk much, and his nerves were not normal. He was often in a daze. He would squat on the beach for hours. Whenever he mentioned home, the old man would go crazy. Zhang Tie only regarded him as an ordinary poor old beggar. There were several times when he saw that he was really pitiful and even brought him some food or clothes to wear.

Zhang Tie never thought that such an old beggar could be a master, a peerless master who could turn a tenth-level strong warrior into a cripple with just one move. Zhang Tie didn't know what level this old beggar was. Zhang Tie only knew that this old beggar's skills were beyond the imagination of his poor mind.

The old man looked at Zhang Tie without saying a word, but looked at Zhang Tie again from head to toe.

Seeing the old man like this, Zhang Tie's heart immediately trembled. You must not play with amnesia at this time. If you fuck me indiscriminately, then who will I complain to

Looking at the old man's scrutinizing gaze, Zhang Tie quickly wiped the dirt and blood on his face, arranged his hair again to make himself look less embarrassed, relaxed the muscles on his face again and squeezed out a smile, Zhang Tie let go He softened his voice and said, "Don't you remember? I am Zhang Tie, the one who often released sand scales with you at the dock. The one who bought you grilled fish and bamboo tube rice last time, do you remember?" "

Seeing Zhang Tie's funny hard work at this moment, a smile appeared on the corner of the beggar-like old man's mouth, "Of course I remember who you are. I have only been favored by others in my life. You are the first one to treat yourself The money bag you thrust into me. There are a total of two gold coins, thirty-eight silver coins and seventeen copper coins in your money bag. You also treated me to food six times and bought me a set of clothes. Please I stayed in an inn once and took a bath once..." The old man kicked the guy lying on the ground casually, like kicking a salted fish that had been disembowelled and dried on the mat. "What happened to this guy? It seems like he wants to kill you..."

Zhang Tie didn't know why the old man appeared here. The way the old man appeared made Zhang Tie even less relieved.

"Oh, it's hard to explain in words!" Zhang Tie sighed, and as he spoke, he secretly looked at the set of clothes worn by this beggar-like old man. Zhang Tie bought that set of clothes for him. Zhang Tie himself didn't know why those clothes were on his body. The old man's clothes, which were made of silver coins, still looked like this after he walked out of the lava. This is really beyond the scope of Zhang Tie's understanding. "I came to the underground this time to officially advance to the seventh level and condense the seventh-level fighting spirit totem. I didn't expect to be betrayed and plotted against you. If you hadn't kept showing up, I'd be afraid. …”

The old man seemed to empathize with Zhang Tie's words and suddenly became angry, "You can't kill all the shameless people and despicable people in this world. Since this person wants your life, then I will help." Get rid of him!" The old man's casual words were filled with a murderous aura as if he was walking over a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, which made Zhang Tie's heart tremble.

Seeing the old man raising his foot and trying to crush the guy to death like an ant, Zhang Tie quickly shouted, "Please be patient..."

"Why. Do you also want to speak out for such a person?" There was already some dissatisfaction in the old man's tone.

"There are still some joints in this man's body. I want to ask him a few questions to find out who is plotting against me. I will find out the mastermind behind the scenes before killing him, so as to save these people from always looking for trouble in the future!"

As Zhang Tie said this, he walked over, trying to wake up the guy on the ground. Unexpectedly, after working for a long time, the guy didn't wake up. Zhang Tie couldn't help but look at the old man for help.

I didn't see what the old man did, he just stretched out his foot and kicked the man in the ribs, and the man who had just passed out suddenly woke up.

"You ask, he has no ability to move now!" The old man stood beside him with his hands folded.

Zhang Tie did not shy away from suspicion, and directly in front of the old man, he pulled off the cross-dressing mask on the man's face, revealing the man's true face.

Under that mask is a man in his thirties or forties. A long, narrow, slightly gloomy male face.

After the man woke up, a somewhat crazy smile appeared on his face. He looked at Zhang Tie and the old man with resentful eyes, and said fiercely, "Zhang Tie. I am wrong this time, but you can never take advantage of me." What useful information can I get here?"

Zhang Tie smiled and said, "Someone will recognize your face. Do you think that with the ability of the Zhang family, knowing what you look like, they can't find some clues?"

"Ha... Ha..." The man laughed crazily, vomiting blood while laughing, "You can try and see if Huaiyuantang can get any clues from me. Even if you chop off my head at this moment, I Let me tell you, no one will be able to recognize my origin from my face..."

"Really?" A smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Tie's mouth. He did not look at the man's face, but stared at the man's ears, looking at it very seriously and carefully, inch by inch. It's like admiring a peerless painting, "I know that organizations like yours that often do shady things, everyone hides their heads and tails. In addition to the most common cross-dressing masks, there must also be many used to conceal one's origins." To prepare for your identity, your face may have undergone plastic surgery a long time ago, so no matter what the circumstances, you are not afraid that someone will be able to recognize your origins through your face!"

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth, "As long as you know, no matter how powerful Huaiyuantang is, it is impossible for him to know my origin. As long as I die, you can just wait for the revenge of our organization!"

"Do you think it's really impossible for others to recognize your origin except for your face?" A trace of sarcasm flashed in Zhang Tie's eyes.

"I heard that before the Cataclysm, humans had the means to identify a person's origins by testing DNA through the power of technology, but that is no longer the case. This little trick of yours is of no use to me!" The man snorted coldly. Said one voice.

"Really? It's a pity that I used to know a stingy fat man. Out of professional needs and some of his quirks, that fat man often cross-dressed and changed his appearance. He once told me that no matter what a person is, Whether it's plastic surgery, wearing a mask, or using potions to complete the disguise, there is one place that a person can never disguise!" Zhang Tie smiled, "Do you know where it is..."

"It's impossible!" The man said with certainty with a sneer.

"It's not impossible, but ordinary people would never imagine that this is the place where a person can never complete the disguise!" Zhang Tie said, pulling the man's ear with his hand and pinching it hard, "Your Ears. To be precise, the auricles. It doesn’t look like you have undergone plastic surgery together. This place, because of its special structure, if you want to do surgery here to change the shape of the ears. At most, it can only slightly change its appearance. Make changes, but cannot make any changes to its structure, unless the person wants to leave himself with an obvious physical defect caused by the surgery!"

"Even if my ears don't change, so what?"

"This is where the ignorance of uneducated people lies..." Zhang Tie sighed, "Did you know that a person's auricle is divided into the helix, the helix tubercle, the scaphoid, the helix crus, the concha, and the tragus. , antitragus, triangular fossa, antihelix superior corner and other nineteen large areas. Among these nineteen large areas, there are a total of thirty-four small identification areas that can be divided into. Compared with a person's appearance, A person's ears have more typical personal identification characteristics. Among the nineteen large identification areas and thirty-four small identification areas of a person's ear, there are twelve intersection areas with the most ear identification characteristics. It can reflect a person's bloodline and family genetic characteristics. These twelve genetic characteristics are almost impossible to be completely repeated in the world except for people from one family. This is comparable to a family with single eyelids, double eyelids, and face shape. Blood inheritance can better indicate a person’s identity!”

The man lying on the ground suddenly changed his expression. Even the old man next to him who had been silent for a long time looked at Zhang Tie in slight surprise, as if he was surprised that Zhang Tie knew this.

Zhang Tie didn't look at the man's face, but sighed with self-pity, "The art of hearing is a secret that that stingy fat man taught me. It's a secret that only a transvestite like him can master." Do you know that in order to learn this secret, I was forced by that damn fat man to stare at the ears of the customers who came to the store in the grocery store for how long before I could finally do it in the grocery store? When you meet them once, do you completely forget the looks of those people and only remember the looks of their ears? Do you know what a perverted training this is?"

"So what? There are so many people in the Hawaiian subcontinent. Can you catch everyone to see that person's ears?" The man said calmly.

"You don't need to look at people from all over the Hawaiian subcontinent. In fact, when I first came underground to gather fighting spirit, I met a young man. That man came down with our team. When someone in the team praised Huaiyuantang When I was with the Zhang family, I remember that person snorted coldly. Not many people dared to express dissatisfaction with the Zhang family on the territory of the Zhang family. So, at that time, I quietly remembered the young man and gathered around him. After fighting, I inquired about the origin of this young man through Qianlongtang. What a coincidence. Now that I look at you carefully, I found that the twelve family genetic characteristics on your auricle are almost the same as that of that young man. Exactly the same, do you want to know which family this young man comes from and what his last name is..." Zhang Tie said, his eyes slowly turning cold.

The man lying on the ground looked at Zhang Tie at this time. In his originally disdainful eyes, there was already a kind of fear, and he was obviously confused. He shouted, "Impossible...impossible, you can't even think about it from me." What are you talking about!"

"What else can idiots like you do besides playing tricks to harm others, claiming to be vicious and cunning, and using your strength to bully people who are inferior to you?" Zhang Tie suddenly broke out and slapped this person in the face. The man's face was so whipped that blood spurted out, and several teeth flew away at once, "Do you think I'm going to lie to you, a dead man, at this time? That miscellaneous caste Zhen is the Tian Tian of Langya County of Jinyun Kingdom. You are a member of the Zhen family in Hancheng. You bastard is also a member of the Zhen family, right? You still want to wait for others to worship you in the future. I don’t know how many shameful things you have done behind the scenes. In a few days, your Tianhan City Zhen family will be exterminated. If you dare to plot against me, go to hell..." Zhang Tie spat on this person.

"No, I'm not from the Zhen family in Tianhan City. I'm not from the Zhen family in Tianhan City..." The guy lying on the ground yelled crazily and struggled to stand up. Although he said he wasn't, he was still at the moment. Zhang Tie's reaction and attitude said everything.

"Whether you are from the Zhen family, naturally someone will dig up the Zhen family's background and investigate clearly. Do you think that under the Huaiyuantang's methods and attention, the little things the Zhen family hides can really be hidden!" Zhang Tie sneered, "Do you think you are the only smart people in this world? If you dare to mess with me, you must be prepared to pay a price you cannot afford!"

The man stared at Zhang Tie. It was as if he wanted to remember Zhang Tie's appearance, and his eyes were almost bleeding. It was only at this moment that he understood how terrifying Zhang Tie was, how terrible Zhang Tie was. It's not about his martial arts, fighting spirit and terrifying hidden weapons, but his head and the things inside it.

Once a flaw as big as a needle's eye falls into Zhang Tie's hands, Zhang Tie may poke a hole in the mountain. Such a person. It's too scary and too perverted. This man only discovered today that there are perverts like Zhang Tie in this world. He can remember people just by looking at them. It’s not what that person looks like, it’s what that person’s ears look like…

"You devil... Devil, even if I were a ghost, I would never let you go!" The man screamed in despair, vomiting black blood from his mouth, tilted his head, and died, as the man died. His body also began to decay rapidly. In just a few minutes, most of his bones were eroded.

Zhang Tie pinched his nose and took a few steps back, "What a terrifying poison. It's hidden in the teeth. It even corroded the body..."

After saying this, no one around him answered. Zhang Tie turned his head and saw that the old beggar was looking at him with burning eyes. Just like a pervert sees a beautiful woman or a vicious dog sees flesh and bones, the light in the old man's eyes made Zhang Tie shiver inexplicably.

"Old man... you... why are you always looking at me like this?" Zhang Tie asked slightly nervously, for fear that the old man would have another epilepsy attack and lose his mind.

"Not bad... not bad... I have enough brains. It seems that at least I won't be tricked by others casually in the future!" The old man seemed very happy.

Zhang Tie laughed dryly, "By the way, I haven't thanked you for saving my life yet... I don't know if I was dazzled, but I seemed to have seen you walking out of the magma just now!"

"The temperature of this red magma is only five or six hundred degrees, so it's nothing!" The old man waved his hand nonchalantly, "You'll know later. There are many things in this world that ordinary people find unimaginable. , incredible. In the final analysis, it’s just that the ability has not been achieved! As long as it is achieved, it is just ordinary."

Zhang Tie thought about the black iron castle that he still hadn't understood yet, and nodded.

"By the way, I've known you for so long, but I still don't know what I call you?" Zhang Tie said respectfully.

"Didn't I tell you that others call me a demon?" The old man looked at Zhang Tie with a smile, like a beggar who has been begging for food all his life looking at a big ingot. He just touched the hair on Zhang Tie's head with his hands. "You don't have to be so outspoken, you can call me master!"

"Master!" After Zhang Tieshun shouted this word, he felt a little strange. Could it be that this old man's surname was "Master"? This name actually took advantage of others.

"Hey..." After Zhang Tie shouted, the old man agreed seriously.

Seeing the old man's helpful expression, Zhang Tiecai suddenly felt something was wrong and wanted to explain, "Ah... I wasn't just..."

Just when Zhang Tie was about to explain, the remaining subordinates of the man in black rushed down the slope in a hurry.

"Quack..." The old man who had been smiling just now had a cold look on his face, and he didn't see any movement. He just flicked his fingers, and a little blue thing flew towards the rushing people like a shooting star chasing the moon. It was much faster than the arrow thrown by Zhang Tie in the palm of his hand, and it was silent and flew over a distance of more than two hundred meters in an instant, landing in the middle of those people...

There was an earth-shattering explosion, and blazing fire and shock waves swept across. Although it was more than two hundred meters away from that place, Zhang Tie still felt a gust of hot wind blowing from somewhere, which made his face feel cold.

After the explosion and fire, the few who were about to rush down just now didn't even have any residue left. Zhang Tie looked at the explosion and fire stupidly, and swallowed with difficulty, Damn, this is still person

"By the way, what did you want to say to my teacher just now?" The beggar-like old man who had a frosty look on his face just now turned around and asked Zhang Tie with a smile.

Explosion... Explosion... Refining Demon... Refining Demon... Alchemy Demon...

Zhang Tie was so blessed that no one hesitated at all. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times vigorously, "Zhang Tie pays homage to the master!"
