"Little brother, you are so brave, since you dare to venture into Huanglong Mountain alone."
Just after I got in the car, the man spoke. Although I couldn't see his face under the mask, I could still tell from the voice that the man was in his forties.
"Excuse me. I wonder what I call my brother?"
I looked at the man. There were only two of us in the car, but the man in front of me was definitely not a simple figure.
"Just call me Brother Hu. I heard that you are asking about the origin of a broken hand, right?"
The eyes under the mask looked at me, and I narrowed my eyes slightly.
"It seems like Brother Hu knows something, right?"
The man nodded, started the car and drove directly towards the capital.
"Come with me, I will take you to meet someone who can tell you everything you want to know."
Listening to the man's words, I didn't have any doubts. After all, if he could tell this, it meant that he must know it.
But when I got there, I hesitated a little.
Although it is said to be in the capital city, this place is so remote that not even a ghost comes here.
"What's wrong, brother, get off the car and I'll take you in."
After the man got out of the car and saw me sitting there motionless, he came over.
"Brother Hu, are you sure you know?"
I'm a little worried now. After all, I offended Wang Tiezhu a few days ago, and now I'm brought here by a stranger.
A place where birds don't poop.
They all look a bit eerie.
"Don't worry, I, Mr. Hu, never lie to others."
Brother Hu patted his chest and assured.
And I slowly walked out of the car. I didn't know what kind of medicine Hu Ge was selling in the gourd, but I always felt that something big was going to happen tonight.
"Follow closely."
Brother Hu led me to a dilapidated house and knocked on the door.
Soon an old voice came from inside: "Please come in!"
Brother Hu took me in and pushed the door open. What I saw was an ancestral hall, and at the top of the ancestral hall was a stone sculpture.
The stone carvings were so lifelike, as if they would come alive at any time. Looking at the stone carvings, I suddenly felt a shock all over, because I could see that this stone statue looked exactly like the one I met in the tomb. .
"See our ancestors."
Brother Hu bowed to the stone statue and said.
I also followed his example and respectfully called "ancestor".
"What are you looking for me for?"
A sound suddenly came from the stone statue.
This shocked me. This stone statue could actually speak?
Brother Hu suddenly smiled when he saw my expression and patted me on the shoulder again.
"Little brother, don't be afraid, my boss is just teasing you."
I couldn't help but roll my eyes at Brother Hu, who the hell is teasing with your boss?
The voice from the stone statue came out again.
"Little brother, do you want to inquire about the news about the residual hand?"
I nodded. In fact, the purpose of my coming here is to find out something about this broken hand. After all, as Professor Jin said, the soil on the broken hand is unique to the capital.
"Hey, I didn't want to tell you this at first, but who made us fall in love? Just wait a moment, and I'll come out and tell you now."
The stone statue suddenly closed its mouth, and then the entire stone statue began to glow, and finally turned into a shadow.
The phantom slowly condensed in front of the stone statue, forming an old man wearing a gray robe. The old man's face was full of wrinkles and his skin was dark, and he looked to be sixty or seventy years old.
"Are you wondering whether I am a human or a ghost?"
The old man's eyes were very sharp, and he could immediately tell what I was thinking.
"Uh... I made you laugh."
I smiled awkwardly, the way this guy appeared was indeed a bit scary.
"Don't worry, it's just some little tricks, you don't have to worry at all."
The old man in gray robe said and walked towards the seat beside him.
He stretched out his hand to invite Brother Hu and me to sit down.
"So, the remaining hand is in your hands?"
The old man in gray robe looked at me with an expectant expression on his face.
I hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. The eyes of the old man in gray robe and Brother Hu immediately lit up when they saw my affirmation.
"Where are you now? Can you let us two see it?"
The old man asked impatiently.
"this……"
I hesitated for a moment, looking at the expressions of the two of them, they seemed to be particularly interested in the remaining hand.
"Little brother, don't worry. As long as you let me see the broken hand, I promise to tell you all the news about the broken hand."
Hearing what the old man said, I inevitably became suspicious.
"To be honest, that broken hand is not with me now."
I replied after pondering for a moment.
After listening to my words, the old man's eyes dimmed instantly, and Brother Hu's face also showed a look of disappointment. Judging from the looks of the two of them, they should be very interested in the residual hand.
I was also stunned. I didn't understand what scene the two of them were acting in?
"Then little brother, please quickly find the broken hand and let us take a look to see if it is the broken hand we are talking about."
The old man saw that I was hesitant and urged me again.
"This...I can't contact that residual hand now."
I smiled helplessly.
"What, you can't contact that broken hand? Then why are you looking for me?"
The old man's reaction was quite intense and he almost died of anger.
I don't understand what's going on with him? How could I be so excited, and this reaction was completely beyond my expectation.
"You are like this, little brother. There is a big secret hidden in that broken hand. As long as you can find that broken hand, the two of us can find its origin through the parameters. Then the treasure inside will be divided equally among the three of us."
At this time, Brother Hu revealed the real purpose. After hearing this, I frowned. No wonder these two people found me. It turned out to be this.
But I don't believe what these two people say. If I find the wrong person, I will be in vain.
"Why should I trust you?"
"Why do you think we are looking for you? There is no free lunch in this world. If you take out your remaining hand, we will tell you the secret. Isn't this a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?"
Brother Hu snorted coldly.
After listening to Brother Hu's words, I fell into deep thought.
To be honest, I am quite interested in this matter. After all, there is no news from Professor Jin yet. If these two people really know, it will be a good thing for me.
Seeing that I was a little shaken, the two people started to stir up trouble again.
Although I am not sure what the real purpose of the two people is, I can tell from their expressions that these two guys are definitely not that simple.
"To be honest, I can't take out this broken hand now, but I have some soil from the broken hand here, which may be of some use to you."
That bit of soil was dug out by Professor Jin, and I took some and wrapped it up.
After hearing my words, the two of them looked at each other.
"Okay, okay, since you said so, soil will do."
Even though Brother Hu seemed to have been wronged in some way, his expression was a little forced.
I took out the soil and placed it on the table in front of the two of them. The old man in gray robe picked it up and looked at it carefully.
"Well, it is indeed the soil on the broken hand, yes!"
The old man in gray robe was so excited that his hands even trembled, as if the soil was some kind of treasure.
"Brother, can you see anything through this soil?"
Brother Hu asked with some confusion.
The old man in gray robe glanced at Brother Hu and sighed: "I have studied the residual hand for many years, and naturally I know the aura contained on it. This is something I will never forget in my life."
Hearing what the old man in gray robe said, Brother Hu's eyes flashed with a look of surprise, but he quickly returned to normal.
Seeing the expression of the old man in gray robe, I felt even more uneasy.
No matter whether what these two people say is true or not, I have to be careful about them. No one can guarantee whether these two guys are liars.
"Brother, if you can confirm it, we will leave now."
Brother Hu was a little excited. After all, he hadn't found any useful clues for so long. He didn't expect to meet me today.
"You guys wait a minute and let me take a closer look."
The old man collected the soil and looked at it for a long time.
After a few minutes, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little brother, it seems you really didn't deceive us. Your soil should be what we are looking for."
Seeing the old man say this, I was a little excited.
"Then can you tell me about this broken hand?"
But after hearing my question, the old man stopped talking immediately.
"Ahem, brother, it's like this. If you want to truly know the secret about this broken hand, you have to take it out."
After hearing what Brother Hu said, I felt a little angry.
This isn't obviously messing with me.
"I finally figured it out. You two don't know what this hand is all about. The only thing you know is that it has something to do with a treasure, right?"
My tone was cold, and the eyes I looked at the old man and Brother Hu became cold.
If it weren't for these two people suddenly coming to the door, I still don't know what these two guys were planning.
"Haha, little brother, why are you so excited? Don't you want to know the secret inside this broken hand?"
Brother Hu chuckled, with a hint of joking on his face.
"No matter what you say is true or false, if you want to take advantage of me, I'm afraid it's not that easy."
I squinted my eyes and looked at the two people, secretly raising my guard.
"Haha, if you think so, forget it, but we don't want to waste time here with you, so we'll take our leave."
The old man stood up and prepared to walk outside.
"Wait a minute."
Seeing that the old man in gray robe was about to leave, I quickly stopped him.
"Oh? Little brother, have you changed your mind?"
