Chapter 372 Antique
Antiques generally refer to things that have been aged for many years. Ordinary old people can be called old people at most.
And the image of the old man in the dungeon can definitely be called an antique. He is locked by four black iron chains, and the clothes on his body have been stained by damp water stains, and the color is gone. They are crumpled and can only be vaguely seen. There are some special patterns on it.
Especially the old man's beard and hair, which have grown to the ground, are intricately intertwined and inseparable. The only thing that can be seen on the whole face are the closed eyes and the high bridge of the nose. The mouth is also overwhelmed by whiskers.
A beam of white flames made the whole water prison feel awe-inspiring.
From a distance, the old man looked like a statue of a person enshrined. If it wasn't because the dungeon was too humid, Li Xiao had no doubt that the old man would be covered with a layer of dust.
"Sister Yao, do you feel it?" Hiding in the dark, Li Xiao asked in a low voice.
"Silly brother, how can I feel..." Hua Yao's words were a little bitter, "The only thing I can hear in the painting is the movement outside, and the reason I can feel the cold heart fire is because of its body. It has a special flavor."
"Yeah." Li Xiao's lips were dry, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he tapped the wall next to him lightly with both hands, "No matter what, I must get it today, Sister Yao, tell me quickly, there is no time, Otherwise, the aura above that resists the flood will disappear, and we..."
"Be careful!" Before the words finished, Hua Yao's low voice rang out from Li Xiao's heart in vain.
At the same time as Hua Yao's voice sounded, Li Xiao's heart sank, his pupils shrank suddenly, his toes lightly tapped the ground, and his figure quickly retreated.
"Bang!"
While retreating, the ground where Li Xiao was stepping on suddenly collapsed from it, and a deep pit with a depth of four or five meters suddenly appeared.
In the deep pit, there were arm-thin cold fronts shaped like arrows piercing upside down into the ground. There were hundreds of them densely packed.
Seeing the deep pit, Li Xiao gasped, his scalp was numb. If he fell down, he would be pierced to death. He turned his head and saw that it was his slight tap on the wall just now, accidentally touching some kind of crater. organ.
Slightly startled, Li Xiao also became a little vigilant. It seems that the engineer who designed the water dungeon was a master. There are so many organs in this seemingly simple water dungeon, and he will touch it if he is not careful.
Who was imprisoned here? If it was an ordinary person, it would never be possible to create such an exquisite mechanism in the water prison.
"Ha, haha, unexpected, unexpected since there are still people who can find here..."
Li Xiao couldn't continue to dodge the loud noise, it had already alarmed the old antique who was chained up, his shoulders trembled, and the old words came out with difficulty from under his beard.
It seemed that he hadn't spoken for a long time, and his voice was particularly deep and hoarse. If Li Xiao's facial features were not different from ordinary people, I'm afraid it would be really hard to hear his words.
While speaking, the old man's eyes slowly opened. The moment he opened his eyes, Li Xiao saw a thick purple aura overflowing from his eyes.
His eyes are particularly vicissitudes, as if they have passed through the vicissitudes of life, those dark pupils can't be looked directly at.
Just looking at each other, at a distance of four or five meters, Li Xiao also felt that every part of his body, not even a cell, was being seen by the old man's vicissitudes of life.
It seems that in front of him, Li Xiao has no secrets!
That feeling was very bad, but Li Xiao couldn't resist at all. He even noticed that when the old man spoke, the ice and fire in front of him were eager to try, and he seemed quite excited.
Ascetic!
With a sinking heart, Li Xiao subconsciously retreated.
"Don't worry, he's already at the end of his strength." When Li Xiao stepped back, Hua Yao's serious voice sounded from the bottom of his heart, "The aura in his body is very weak, to the point where it's exhausted."
"Really?" Li Xiao was shocked in his heart, even if the oil was exhausted, it still made him feel like an enemy, the old man was so strong at his peak.
"Huh? Ninth Five-Year Qi?!" At this moment, the old man let out a surprise, and his vicissitudes of life swept Li Xiao back and forth as if looking at a beautiful woman.
Ninth Five-Year Qi, what the hell is this?
It is not clear whether the old man is an enemy or a friend, Li Xiao did not dare to approach rashly, and asked cautiously: "This is the old man, who are you, why are you here?"
"You don't know me?" The old man sat on the ground, motionless.
"Should I know you?" Li Xiao was speechless.
"It doesn't matter, I don't know how many years you have stayed in this water prison. Looking at your clothes, I am afraid that the world has already changed. It's just that I didn't expect that the person who also has the 95th qi is actually a little shrimp with a third level of qi training."
The old man's beard was twitching, and the look in his eyes was quite complicated, "You came here because of this cold heart?"
While he was speaking, the icy fire on the ground turned into a fiery snake and crawled onto the old man's body. The strange thing was that the old man's body was not damaged at all by the flames.
"That's right." Li Xiao didn't hide it, even if he didn't say it now, the old man would know it later.
"Okay!" Seeing that Li Xiao was so forthright, the old man said excitedly, "Boy, come here quickly, come here quickly!"
In the voice, it was quite eager, as if there was a kind of prayer.
"Go slowly and see what he is going to do." When Li Xiao hesitated, Hua Yao reminded him, "Be careful, that old guy has been popular for many years."
Nodding, Li Xiao expressed understanding.
A person trapped in such an ancient water prison is definitely an antique-level existence, and he can tell with his toes that he has been locked by that iron chain for at least decades.
Think about it, if a person is trapped alone in a dark water prison for decades, God knows if he will suffer from schizophrenia or other neurological diseases.
So it's better to be careful at this time to avoid any accidents.
Leaping over the huge pit in front of him, Li Xiao stopped two meters away from the old man.
At close range, Li Xiao saw more and more clearly. He found that the iron chains that locked the old man were not ordinary iron chains, and some strange characters that he could not understand were engraved on the top of the iron chains.
The entire cell was frozen with ice, but the iron chain was not damaged at all, and even rust did not grow in such a humid place.
As for the old man, he was dressed in ragged clothes. Through the holes in his clothes, one could see his wrinkled skin with age spots one after another. Even the vicissitudes of his eyelids were wrinkled like tree bark.
It is hard to imagine how many years he has lived for a monk who looks like this.
"Little boy, don't stand still, hurry up, hurry up!" Seeing Li Xiao standing still, the old man said anxiously.
