Chapter Seventeen: The True Face

I dare say I was shocked, truly, without exaggeration.

Zuo Guangsi?!!

The old man who was hanging around on the boat fishing was the master who taught the second master of the Hai family his skills?! Isn't he too awesome!?

"How old does that person look?" I asked tentatively.

"He just looks like an ordinary old man. There's nothing strange about him." Mr. Hai replied.

My grass.

According to this statement, then...it's not right...

Zuo Guangsi was like that decades ago.

The man we met some time ago also looked like an old man.

Could it be that he just...isn't right...didn't Lafayette also live for so many years?!

Lafayette is more than a hundred years old, but he can still jump and jump?

"I'll go on, just listen while you eat." Mr. Hai waved his hand and said with a smile.

As the saying goes, there is nothing wrong without going to the Three Treasures Palace.

When Lafayette suddenly went to find them, it was definitely not to have a drink and chat, but to have business.

"Lao Hai, Er Zi, I came to see you today because I want you to do me a favor." Bai Qingru spoke directly and without any intention of beating around the bush.

Mr. Hai nodded and said, tell me what the problem is, we will definitely help.

"I found an underground palace that no one has found since ancient times. Do you want..."

Before Bai Qingru could finish what he said, Mr. Hai's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "The underground palace?! How many feet is there in it?! Is there a God of Wealth hidden in it?!"

God of Wealth, this is a slang term in the tomb robbing industry.

In ancient times, the God of Wealth referred to the corpse dressed in gold and silver, but in modern times, it specifically refers to the rare treasures in the tomb, such as calligraphy, painting, ceramics, jade, gold sculptures, etc.

"I can't say whether there is a God of Wealth, but I can guarantee that this tomb hides an ancient secret." Bai Qingru smiled and gently took off the mask on his face, revealing his true face.

How many people has Lafayette revealed his true face to?

In my opinion, I'm afraid I can only count it with five fingers. It's not that difficult to see the true face of Lafayette.

Even though it was so difficult, the two brothers of the Hai family had seen Lafayette's true face many times with their own eyes. From a certain perspective, I'm afraid this was a sign of the good relationship between them.

Mr. Hai said that they met Lafayette when they were young, and they called him uncle at that time. Lafayette also treated them as children, but when the two of them got older, they became brothers who had known each other for many years. The relationship was indeed quite messy.

They had seen the true face of Lafayette when they were children, not much, just a few times. When they grew up, they had never seen him again. To be precise, they had not met Lafayette very often.

Until that meeting, they had an inseparable relationship with Lafayette. As time went by, Lafayette seemed to feel that there was no need to pretend to be mysterious in front of them, and he often took off the mask and put it aside.

"Actually...he wears a mask for a reason..." Mr. Hai stopped when he said this. He was silent for a while and slowly shook his head: "Lafayette wears a mask. Firstly,

To avoid trouble, he hides his true face, and the other is to cover up something, something he doesn’t want to be seen."

"What does he look like?" I couldn't help but ask, and the fat uncle followed me and asked: "Old man, hurry up and tell me, we're going to kill four people!"

Mr. Hai thought for a long time and finally told us what Lafayette looked like.

Listening to Mr. Hai's narration, I just felt a kind of sincere weirdness, really, it was weird.

Lafayette must be around one hundred and thirty years old, but his appearance does not look like an old man.

According to Mr. Hai, the usual rickety appearance of Lafayette is just his disguise.

In fact......

"Brother Bai, what exactly is in here?" Mr. Hai asked curiously as he added some tea to Lafayette.

Bai Qingru smiled and stretched out in relief. His originally stooped body suddenly became no different from that of an ordinary person.

"There is eternal life."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qingru subconsciously touched the curse on his neck with his hand, his smile became brighter again, and there was a light in his eyes that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.

The name of that light is hope.

If half of Lafayette's face is covered, I'm afraid if he is allowed to walk around the streets, many girls and young women will throw themselves into his arms, or even spend their own money to support Lafayette. This is really not an exaggeration, let alone a joke.

.

Lafayette is very handsome, and he and Master are both delicate-looking, but if anyone has seen their appearance, they will notice their differences without looking too far.

The master is of a scholarly and delicate kind, as quiet as a virgin, and his calmness of mind is unparalleled. If I had to describe him accurately...

Um.....

Master is an unfathomable person, and you will never be able to see his true thoughts from his calm eyes.

As for Lafayette, he has the aura of being in a high position, not the aura of a superior person, but a kind of...how should I put it...a kind of absolute indifference, right?

Except for the most friendly people you meet, even if his face is full of smiles, you can still see the indifference in his eyes that can make you tremble.

It seems that everything is indifferent to him, he is very calm and calm.

"Is he immortal?!" I kept muttering in my heart: "According to Mr. Hai, in 1997, Lafayette still looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties. How could he not have any traces of it?

Signs of old age?!"

The muttering is muttering, but I am still listening.

Mr. Hai saw that our expressions were very rich, he smiled, and then started talking to us.

The Hai family brothers were also very curious when they saw the true face of Lafayette. They once asked him, are you the immortal immortal in Taoist legend?

The answer Lafayette gave them made people confused about the truth.

"I am just an ordinary warlock, not a god. It's just that my appearance has not changed due to some special reasons, but my internal organs and bones should have aged." Bai Qingru had a smile on his face when he said this. No one knew that he

Is it true or false?

Although it is surprising that a character who has lived for more than a hundred years has the face of a middle-aged man, it will also cause visual fatigue after watching it too much, right?

The Hai family brothers are among this group.

I often see the true face of Lafayette. After seeing it too much, I get used to it.

Of course, no matter how accustomed they are, they can never be so used to it that they can turn a blind eye to the things on Lafayette's face.

The other half of Lafayette's face is covered with things...it really makes people feel chilly...

Next to the normal half of the face, there is the abnormal half of the face, with numerous scars crisscrossing horizontally and vertically, densely covered. No matter who looks at it, they can see that these scars were all cut with sharp tools.

, the surface of many scars is slightly raised, which is not something that can be described by this word.

Below these scars is the neck covered with curses.

There is a circle of curse words on the surface of the neck skin. It seems that they are carved by people, not painted. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it. But if you look carefully, you will find that every curse word is slightly written.

It's sunken, as if a piece of flesh is missing from the skin, which is weird.

"Eternal life?"

When they heard Lafayette say the three words "have eternal life", Mr. Hai and Mr. Hai were dumbfounded. They looked at each other and were confused. They probably didn't understand what Lafayette meant.

Seeing this scene, Bai Qingru didn't care, and said with a smile: "If you return to life after death, you will live forever. This is a secret I got in a ruins, and the treasure closely related to this secret is in the place we are about to go.

In the underground palace."

"Brother Bai, aren't you drunk too much?" Hai Erye frowned and asked, "Resurrection from death and immortality are all things in stories and have nothing to do with our reality."

"I have lived for so many years, but my appearance has not been changed by the years. If I find the remaining things, maybe I will continue to live." Bai Qingru said without answering the question.

The eyes of the two brothers from the Hai family lit up and they began to murmur in their hearts.

It is obvious to all that Bai Qingru has lived for such a long time, and his face has indeed not changed. According to what he said, is the miracle on him related to the so-called secret?!

"This time, I have to ask the two brothers for a favor. When it is done, I will not want any of the jewelry, gold and silver in the tomb. As for the secrets inside, we will share it." Bai Qingru said with a smile.

Hearing this, the two brothers from the Hai family waved their hands hurriedly and said, how can this be done?!

"Even if the tomb is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, after we finish our work, we will definitely not swallow up the treasure inside." Mr. Hai said with a bitter smile: "Lafayette is not easy to talk to outsiders, but between us, he really doesn't like to take advantage.

I can't deny this."

As he spoke, Mr. Hai let out a long sigh: "We discussed it for a whole afternoon and finally decided that the secret should be divided equally, baby."

"Although the second son and I don't believe in the so-called secret, we are still very curious, or greedy." Mr. Hai shook his head: "The temptation of immortality is attractive to people over fifty years old like us.

It’s not that big, not to mention that there is an example of Lafayette here..."
