Inside the stone house.
Li Shu winked, and Jing Laosan and Jing Laoer understood instantly. They took a cautious step forward and looked at the hunchbacked old man.
In this dangerous place full of dangers and full of monsters, there is an old man with a humble appearance and a slight hunchback. No matter how you think about it, you will think that this old man has an unusual identity.
The hunchbacked old man looked at Jing Lao Er and Jing Lao San, who were like giant iron towers. Especially the latter had bulging muscles, his arms seemed thicker than his thighs, and he looked like he was filled with astonishing evil energy.
He couldn't help but was frightened and took a few steps back. His rickety body was pressed against the wall, his face full of fear, and he waved his hands repeatedly:
"Everyone, Xiaodao saved your life. If Xiaodao hadn't lit the candle in time to illuminate the black fog, guided you here, and then opened the stone door to welcome a few people in, you would have long been... "
The hunchbacked old man was trembling with fear. Two lines of tears rolled down his furrowed cheeks. He looked miserable. His voice became weak and his expression begged:
"Xiaodao doesn't ask for anything else. I just ask you to spare Xiaodao's life. Xiaodao is here to kowtow to all the heroes."
Dong dong dong~
The hunchbacked old man knelt on the ground, then really kowtowed his head, and blood soon oozed from his forehead.
Jing Boss, Jing Lao Er and Jing Lao San had cold faces.
Especially Jing Laosan, who often leads a large number of capable sailors to hunt for treasures on the sea. He is similar to the elusive pirates, fighting against the wind and waves. He is used to seeing the evil in people's hearts, so a cold light flashed in his eyes and he lowered his voice to Li Shu:
"Boss, this old man doesn't look like a good person. He feels weird. It's better to kill him to prevent future troubles!"
Li Shu looked hesitant.
Huang Yun frowned slightly, opened her mouth slightly in fear, and lowered her voice: "Husband... this... he saved us after all. If... just... wouldn't it be similar to Cao Cao killing Lu Boshe? And killing is illegal. of."
She is kind-hearted by nature and has received a modern and peaceful education. It was difficult for her to agree with Jing Laosan's ideas for a while.
Huang Yun's idea cannot be said to be wrong.
She seemed to have noticed Li Shu's hesitation, and lowered her voice and said: "Husband, no matter what decision you make, I will definitely support you! Husband is always right! You make the decision!"
Li Shu nodded slightly, and then said calmly to the hunchbacked old man who was still kowtowing, but obviously the kowtow became slower and slower, and his head did not touch the ground: "Get up."
"Okay, okay~"
The hunchbacked old man stood up as if he had been granted amnesty, with a happy smile on his face showing the joy of surviving the disaster.
But Li Shu didn't notice that a sinister and vicious look flashed in the deepest part of the old man's eyes.
Especially when he looked at Huang Yun, who was wearing a blue segmented bikini, with a curvy figure, plump and shapely body, delicate skin, and beautiful appearance like a fairy descending from the earth, he only felt that a prehistoric power was awakening in his body, and he even lowered his head to hide the look in his eyes. That lustful light.
He secretly said: "I have been trapped here for nearly a hundred years, and I have not seen a woman for nearly a hundred years~ Do women dress like this now? They are so beautiful, Gudong~"
Li Shu looked around in the stone house.
There are three rooms in the stone house, and they are currently in the middle one - the living room.
The walls are gray-white, and the wall covering has peeled off in some places, revealing the gray-black interior walls.
There are several tattered stools in the corner. Either one leg is missing or that leg is missing. Some are missing three legs. They are eunuch stools.
There is a room on each side.
In the room on the left, in the center of the ground, there is a white jade round platform that is even more exquisite than mutton-fat white jade. The platform is about 1.5 meters in diameter and about half a meter high. It looks extremely gorgeous. There is a large light ball about 2 meters in diameter floating above the platform. .
The huge light ball rotates slowly, with a faint light emitting from the surface, and a comfortable magical rhythm. Pictures are constantly flashing on the surface of the light ball, gray and black, as if they are soil underground. scene in.
Li Shu frowned slightly, then he suppressed the doubts in his heart, left the door of the "left room" and came to the door of the "right room". Huang Yun followed Li Shu all the time. She grabbed her husband's right arm and touched his chest muscles. He rubbed the latter's arm and didn't care.
After she saw the scene in the "right room" clearly, her beautiful eyes widened and she exclaimed: "Wow, it's a sacred tree! This sacred tree about 3 meters tall is shining!"
Li Shu couldn't help but feel shocked, it felt so unreal.
I saw a fruit tree growing in the middle of the right room, about three meters high, with a thick trunk like the finest gray-black crystal jade, crystal clear, slightly emitting light, and giving off a sense of splendor.
The trees have lush branches and leaves, and the top branches are the same emerald green as the leaves, like the most beautiful emerald green jade in the world.
There were some gray-black rotten meat, bones, etc. piled under the tree, which seemed to belong to the monsters outside.
What shocked Li Shu the most was that there were huge fruits hanging on the tree that were even bigger than his fist. These fruits were like flames and deep red, just like dragon fruit, with curved flames on the surface. Texture, a mysterious fragrance blows towards your face.
In an instant, Li Shu and Huang Yun's mouths were full of saliva, their tongues were swimming, and their stomachs began to growl in protest. It turned out that after running at high intensity and fighting for so long, their stomachs were already hungry.
"This strange fragrance reaches as far as the door of the right room and does not spread out. It seems that this stone house is really weird everywhere." Li Shu said secretly.
"In the left room is a huge mysterious light ball with a diameter of two meters. In the right room is a mysterious tree with a height of 3 meters. There are many strange and attractive fruits on the trees. The middle room is the living room with a little old man.
The mysterious light ball, the mysterious tree, the little old man... these are the main things in the stone house. "
Li Shu waved his hand, and Jing Laoer immediately carried the hunchbacked old man over. In gratitude for the latter's life-saving grace, he moved much more gently.
"Let me ask you, what are the mysterious light balls in the left room and the magical trees in the right room!? Also, who are you!!"
The hunchbacked old man nodded and bowed with a flattering look on his face. He spoke fluently and seemed to have no reservations about Li Shu and others. He said: "The name of Xiaodao is Taoist Jade. He is 165 years old this year and came here 82 years ago. I came here This is what this place is like at this time."
As if to give Li Shu and others time to think, the hunchbacked old man paused slightly when he said this.
The hunchbacked old man looked at the wall on the right. There were dense shallow marks on it. Li Shu followed his line of sight and found that there were exactly 82 scratches on it - 20 scratches in one row, and 4 more rows, which was very easy to count.
"165 years old! Came here 82 years ago!" Huang Yun couldn't help but exclaimed slightly, and then looked at Li Shu.
She clasped her slender fingers as green as green and said: "This year is 2022, so 82 years ago, wasn't it 1940!? It was an era of war and chaos.
And he said he was 165 years old this year, so wouldn’t he have been 83 years old 82 years ago? It is incredible to think that an 83-year-old Taoist priest dived to the depths of tens of thousands of meters in 1940, an era of chaos and scarcity of supplies. "
Yes, the whole of Southeast Asia was not stable in 1940. It can be said that there were wars everywhere, warlords were separatist... There were many small groups of bandits and pirates. Compared with those back then, the gangs today are still more ferocious and ruthless. Far inferior to a small group of bandits.
The hunchbacked old Taoist priest continued: "I call the tree in the right room the Fire God Tree! Its fruit can not only quench hunger and thirst, but also strengthen the body and extend life."
