Chapter 198 The Old Man with a Ghost Face

Lu Guicai repeatedly dissuaded Shi Fan from fighting with Li Hanxue.

After leaving the small pavilion, following the middle-aged man through a semicircular arch, Li Hanxue and the five of them came into an extremely spacious room.

The floors inside the house are all paved with greenish-brown wood, which is as smooth as new, and the four sides are painted uniformly gray. Six Taishi chairs formed a circle, with a small table on each side for placing tea sets. Other than that, there was nothing else in the room.

Li Hanxue looked up and saw a person sitting facing Li Hanxue.

This man was wearing linen clothes and linen shoes, and his attire was extremely simple. Some dry gray long hair is scattered on the man's shoulders. A pair of old hands are pressed on the armrests, seeming soft and weak. They don't feel like a martial arts master, but more like a farmer in the countryside after a busy day. people.

The only thing that seemed unusual about this person was the black mask on his face.

This mask looks like a demon, with a human face, a big forehead, high cheekbones, two white eyes deeply sunk into the eye sockets, and a point of darkness in the middle. It looks extremely weird, even a little scary. As soon as your eyes come into contact with these eyes, it seems like you will be sucked away.

Looking again, the bottom of the mask is a pointed chin, and a little above it is a dense row of fangs, arranged neatly, with a slight gap to allow the person wearing the mask to breathe.

"As long as they reach the high-level Ruowu realm, warriors can go without breathing for a long time. This design seems redundant."

Li Hanxue smiled bitterly in his heart. He was beginning to suffer from an occupational disease. He was an instrument refiner, so every time he saw a new instrument, he would carefully observe and study it thoroughly.

"Master, I have brought them here." After the middle-aged man introduced Li Hanxue and others into the room, he stood aside respectfully.

The man sitting on the Grand Master's chair turned his head slightly and glanced at everyone, and said: "Old Shi, you can retreat."

This man's voice was a bit old, exactly the same as the voice that came from the black-robed man and the middle-aged man just now.

"Yes, Palace Master!" The middle-aged man lowered his head, bowed his waist and exited the room.

"Second brother, serve tea to the guests!" the man said again.

Hearing the sound, a boy in white clothes walked in from the outside. The boy only reached Li Hanxue's chest. He had bright eyes and white teeth, and there was a spiritual energy in his eyes. At first glance, he was a smart and excellent martial arts talent.

The boy held six cups of tea in his hands and distributed them one by one until he arrived in front of the old man. After the distribution was completed, he stood motionless next to the man with the tea tray in his hand.

"Are you the ghost-faced old man?" Shi Fan showed a strange expression.

Through the mask, an old voice came: "Yes, I am the ghost-faced old man you are looking for."

"It turns out you are really sir. I hope you can forgive me for disturbing me today," Lu Guicai said.

"It's okay." The ghost-faced old man waved his hand and motioned for everyone to drink tea. Everyone just held the tea cup and brought it to their mouths, not daring to drink. Only Li Hanxue raised the cup and drank it all.

Everyone was worried that there was something strange in the tea, and Li Hanxue naturally knew it. But sometimes, it takes a risk. If you are not willing to take even a little risk, you will definitely gain nothing. And now he is asking for help from the ghost-faced old man. If he doesn't even dare to drink a cup of tea, then what's the point of being sincere?

Seeing this, Su Xiaoya grunted and took a small sip.

The ghost-faced old man tilted his head slightly and looked at Li Hanxue with a hint of approval.

"Everyone is here, presumably to exchange treasures with me, right?" the ghost-faced old man said.

"Not bad." Shi Fan smiled.

"In this case, you must also know the rules in our house. I will only accept mysterious weapons that satisfy me. I will not accept other treasures." The ghost-faced old man raised the tea cup, and the light green tea in the cup was drawn into silk threads. Strips of blood flowed in from the gaps between Ghost Face's teeth.

Shi Fan smiled and said: "Of course, how can we, the Baihong Sect, not understand the rules of the Ghost Mansion?"

The Baihong Sect was considered an extremely powerful sect in the nearby area. Shi Fan reported himself to the sect just to let the ghost-faced old man give him some face, and at the same time to give the Baihong Sect some face.

However, Shi Fan miscalculated, and the ghost-faced old man was not polite to Shi Fan, but said calmly to the boy next to him: "Second brother, let me explain the specific rules of the Ghost Mansion Treasure Fight for everyone. "

"Yes." The boy took the empty tea cup from the ghost-faced old man's hand, glanced at Shi Fan, smiled with his white teeth and said: "Everyone who comes to our ghost mansion must have a mysterious weapon to participate. In the process of fighting for treasures, we only judge based on the quality of the mysterious soldiers. We don’t care what sect you come from. The palace master is old and forgets things easily. "

The intention of these words towards Shi Fan is obvious.

"How dare this kid be so arrogant!" Shi Fan was furious in his heart, his snake eyes shrank, and his sharp breath came out, "I'm afraid this is the old guy's instruction, how dare you look down on my dignified sixth-grade sect, Baihong Sect!"

Lu Guicai was very close to him. Seeing that something was wrong with Shi Fan, he quickly put his hand on Shi Fan's sleeve and hinted: "Junior brother, don't be impulsive!"

Shi Fan glanced at Lu Guicai and suppressed the anger in his chest, holding back.

"This time the palace master exchanges treasures, there is only one rule. Whoever of you can satisfy the palace master with his mysterious weapons, the palace master will agree to exchange treasures with him. As long as you are qualified to exchange treasures, you can ask for any treasure. Of course, the ugly words are ahead, and you should also know what kind of treasure your Xuan Wen is worth. Said unceremoniously.

The man in black robe said: "What if we can get the mysterious weapon, but your house can't get the treasure we want?"

"Don't worry, our ghost mansion has been in Sanggu City for decades, and we still have a basic reputation. Things like what you said have never happened. As long as you want it, our ghost mansion can satisfy you. Of course. , everything is possible, if our ghost mansion really does not have the treasure you mentioned, we will not only return the original Xuan Weapon, but also give you a precious Xuan Weapon of the same level." The boy's face was filled with confidence and pride. , Gui Mansion has this strength and foundation.

"Is this true?" Lu Guicai said in disbelief.

"Of course it's true, I will never break my promise!" The boy said, "Do you have any questions?"

"no doubt."

At this time, the ghost-faced old man said: "Since everyone has no doubts. Then take out all the mysterious weapons you brought and let me open my eyes to see what good things you have brought this time. From which start?"

Everyone looked at each other for a moment without saying a word. Both first and last have their advantages and disadvantages. If the mysterious weapons brought are amazing enough, then after seeing the ghost-faced old man, he may just make a decision and never look at the mysterious weapons below again. Even if this is not possible, as long as Xuan Bing is good enough, he can take the lead and leave a good impression. This is called preemptive strike.

However, Li Hanxue likes to strike from behind. The mysterious weapon is good enough. If it is taken out from behind, it can give people a stronger impact. It is like a phoenix suddenly appearing among a group of chickens. Its stunning feeling is of course unparalleled.

Both methods have their own advantages, but basically everyone chooses the latter.

Lu Guicai stood there and saw that no one had shown his weapon first for a long time, so he stood up and said, "I'll go first!"
