Dawn of the Grey Tower

Seeing that the old man was held by Jian Qi, the figure of the sword-seeker suddenly became short, and his normal face instantly turned pale. If it weren’t for the iron rod in his hand, he would have Fell to the ground.

The things in front of him were beyond the mage's expectations, but it did not prevent him from reacting immediately. The gray robe pulled out the dagger on his waist, and his other hand was ready to cast the spell, bypassing Jian Qi's body, and came to the old man's back. .

Without hesitation, the dagger struck down at the old man's neck. Of course, he wouldn't be such a hasty killer, but the blade on his neck was enough to prevent most people from acting rashly.

Unexpectedly, before the wizard's short blade fell, the old man reached out his hand tremblingly. His movements were so slow, and he had the inconsistency peculiar to people who were drunk, but it was this slow, soft hand, but The blade of the dagger was clamped with two fingers, and even the strength of the entire arm of the cheese couldn't be pushed forward!

But close combat has never been a way of fighting with cheese. Under the robe, his other hand is ready to cast spells. As long as the knuckles of the fingers are bent into the right shape, his spells can...

The old man's body suddenly pressed toward the cheese, as if Jian Qi gave it to the cheese to help. But at the same time, his hand reached into the gray robe and clasped the mage's knuckles. The appropriate pain made the cheese understand that if he continued to cast the spell, the other party would not mind breaking his fingers.

"Wait, don't." Jian Qi said only then. He shook his head at his companion, his expression distorted, and he couldn't tell whether it was because of the pain or other anxious things. "This senior, why is it right?"

The old man waited for the cheese's muscles to relax before he straightened up lazily, bent over and picked up the wine bottle that had just been thrown away to make his hand free. The wine bottle stood impartially on the ground, neither broken nor broken, even a drop. No wine was spilled. He shook the bottle, took a sip, and said without rush.

"You learn to condense the qi and seal the acupoints at a young age, and within five years, the internal injuries will show up. As long as you can't die, you can let it flow if it bleeds. If it wants to purify, you can squeeze the pus. Thinking of being a hero, I got out of bed and walked around within three days after I was hit by an arrow. I don't know how your adults taught me."

"I..." The choking sword couldn't say a whole sentence for a long while. The so-called snake hitting seven inches, cursing others to expose shortcomings, if you scold him Jian Qi, he doesn't care if the sky is dark and the sun is dark, but if you go to his clan, you don’t need to be more vicious, just bring some The reprimand was enough to make the young man blush. But no matter what people said was right, he did succeed.

The drunk old man waved his hand, shook his feet and said no more, and walked towards the depths of the street. He clearly knows how to qi, judging from the fact that he immediately judged Jian Qi's condition and unlocked the qi used to seal the acupuncture point, this person is definitely a master among them. Not only that, but he is certainly not weak when he does it. At least in the distance visible to the naked eye, the cheese was not sure to win.

So the two looked at each other and followed silently. The old man didn't let them follow, but he didn't mean to leave them behind. There are no idlers on the streets in the morning except those preparing to open business, and no one notices this weird trio.

"It's getting more and more." The cheese supporting his companion suddenly said. Although his eyes were focused on the back figure in front of him, his eyes carefully observed and remembered every path they took.

"What's getting more and more?" After Jian Qi was relieved of his air pockets, the wound was painful and intolerable. The power of the blood refining ointment prevented him from bleeding again, but the pain could not disappear quickly, and the injury would hurt.

"Stone lions. On both sides of the road, in the alleys, some are on the second floor of the house. Some are made into pegs, some are made into doorstops, and some are on the eaves. Each is different." Speaking of his findings.

Jian Qiqiang looked at both sides with his fighting spirit, and as the gray robe said, the gray stone beasts could be vaguely seen in the corners of the buildings with different styles. The ages of these stone lions are also different. Some have already grown moss on them, and some have their corners knocked off, but there are many of them that have been made recently, which makes people confused.

The most important thing is that the shape of the stone beast is exactly like what cheese said. Although it is a sitting posture with the back and the front legs straightened, the details are very different. The expressions on the lion's face are either happy or sad, and the lines on the body also include many natural features. Once carefully observed, they only feel that they are ever changing.

Finally, in front of a house guarded by two huge stone lions one person tall, the old man stopped and walked up to slap the slightly faded vermillion door, "Open the door, open the door!"

After about ten breaths, the courtyard door opened in front of the three, but the person who opened the door was not seen. The old man seemed to be no stranger to this situation, he stepped into the yard without hesitation, and after the cheese and Jian Qi also followed, the yard door closed automatically as if consciously.

The mage blinked, and he could feel that the condition of the door was not a coincidence. Something similar to magic was driving the door and even more things in the courtyard, but the induction was very weak, if it weren't for him to fight If you lose the spirit of twelve points, it is likely to ignore it. Interesting, this is too interesting.

"Old Monster Shi, I'm back!" the old man shouted into the house. Then walked through the yard lined with various stone sculptures and went straight to the main house at the deepest point. Most of the stone sculptures are lions, but there are also other shapes placed in them. Unlike the stone beasts seen on the road before, most of these in the yard are semi-finished products or simply have a rough outline. Obviously the sculptor has achieved a certain degree Just put it aside.

But somehow, walking among these unfinished stone beasts, the cheese always felt like a glow, as if there was some living thing hidden in these carvings, hiding in the dark to spy on him.

The shout was answered, it was the sound of a chisel hitting a stone. The old man pushed open the door, and there was no furniture in it that was supposed to be in the main house. Instead, it looked more like a workshop. In this workshop, there is another white-haired but bare-chested old man and the stone statue he is carving. The stone statue has a preliminary shape, and it looks like it should be a fox or some other dog.

The sculptor heard the sound of opening the door, put down the chisel and hammer in his hand, and turned his head to look at several people. His eyes are reminiscent of beasts. Although there is no magical light, there is still another kind of brilliance. The light in this eye pupil quickly converged, and his eyes quickly became cloudy like an ordinary old man, making people wonder if they had just seen an illusion.

"You old guy doesn't go fishing for your fish, what are you doing here? What's the matter with these two juniors following you? Let me say first, I haven't finished carving this stone fox, so I won't pick up new ones. live."

"Hey, who is going to help your old thing get alive? Yesterday I ran into a major customer and I still had some money left and wanted to invite you to drink. As for these two silly boys, I met on the road. The injured one took it. The odd clubs are mostly the hapless guys sent out to find the sword in the sword gate. As for the robe, I think it’s an alchemist, but I don’t know which one is capable of repairing. If you are willing to help, please help them. If you don’t want to, let them go, anyway, I followed."

After hearing this, the stone mason stood up and looked at the two of them, then walked over and pulled off Jian Qi's clothes, revealing the arrow wounds, "Did you seal the hole with luck? Purple blood appeared on the edge of the wound. No wonder the old man is going to bring you over. I’m afraid you’re not good at it. You will be stuck in the wound at that time. You will suffer when it rains on a cloudy day. That’s fine, it’s rare to come across a sword gate, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, old lady, I’ll do this for you. Come, you go to the wing with me."

The sword-seeker was torn but not at all annoyed at all. When the old stonemason was observing him, he was also observing the other person. The hideous wound that stretched from his left shoulder all the way to the right waist was particularly conspicuous. Suddenly, this wound plus the name between the two old people just reminded Jian Qi of something. He became excited and grabbed the stonemason’s hand.

"I know! You are the saint in the stone! Since you are the saint in the stone, that must be a drunk fisherman! I know you! You are all famous seniors in the world! I heard of your deeds when I was young! , But they all said that you two are dead. They all said that you two met in a duel and fell to the cliff on Shegu Mountain... No, if you were alive, why would you be here..."

Halfway through Jian Qi's words, he stopped, because the old man he became a saint in the stone gently wiped his chest with his finger, and he could no longer make a sound. Then, the old man took Jian Qi up his waist and carried it on his shoulders, and strode out to the house, "You are too noisy as a junior, you are almost catching up with the rainy frog. Let me shut your mouth for a while. Ren hurts."

The sword-seeker was taken away. Only the cheese and the old man squatting on a chair and drinking were left in the large main house. The latter waved to the cheese and pointed to the next stone pier, "Sit, be your own home. ."
