Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 7: The Art of Matching Ears

Hearing this abrupt and old voice sounded behind him, the man in black robe reacted as fast as lightning, moving like thunder.

The battle spirit of the tenth-level strong fighter suddenly rolled like a dragon, and behind that person condensed into a huge, ferocious battle spirit totem of a reptile that Zhang Tie had never seen before. It was the first time Zhang Tie had seen what the fighting spirit totem of a tenth-level strong fighter looked like after being chased by that man.

It was like a thunderbolt struck in the air, and the man's two palms were immediately imprinted on the chest of the man standing behind him.

Time seems to stand still at this moment...

The man in the black robe finally saw clearly who was behind him.

It was an old man, an old man who looked like a beggar, with messy hair and a little tattered clothes.

That man was astonished, but he was not as shocked as Zhang Tie, because this old man Zhang Tie knew, but he never thought that he would appear here, in such a way.

Just now, when Zhang Tie was staring, he saw this old man walking out of the river of magma, just like walking out of ordinary river water.

Can someone actually enter the magma? Zhang Tie felt that his brain was slightly short-circuited.

For a moment, Zhang Tie even wondered if he was hallucinating. But the reaction of the man in the black robe told Zhang Tie that this was not his hallucination, because the man in the black robe also heard and saw it, and even printed his palms with all his strength on the old man's. chest.

What is the consequence of being hit by the palms of a tenth-level strong fighter with all his strength? If it were Zhang Tie himself, Zhang Tie knew that his only ending would be one word - hang!

The old man didn't hang up, didn't even move the expression on his face or the messy hair on his head. He just looked at the man in the black robe, and the man started screaming loudly.

Zhang Tie also opened his mouth slightly, looking at the guy who was chasing him majesticly just now, like a little girl who was gang-raped, screaming in horror.

"Ah, how did this happen, the back of my hand sucked, who the hell are you, ah..."

The man's hands didn't really hit the old man's body, but just one or two centimeters away from touching the old man's clothes, they were blocked by an invisible layer on the old man's body. That thing not only blocked the man's attack,

And it seemed to "glue" the man's hand up, making it impossible for the man to break free...

"Young people nowadays really don't understand how to respect the old and love the young..." The beggar-like old man sighed, "I haven't done anything to you yet. Are you going to kill me? Sigh... "

Amidst the man's screams and Zhang Tie's astonishment, the hands of that tenth-level strong fighter. From palm to shoulder position. Connecting the sleeves together, as if reaching into the high-temperature magma, it turns red, dries, hardens, and turns black in just a few seconds. Carbonized, then spread out like a pile of dried soot, scattered all over the place...

The tenth-level strong fighter who lost his hands in a few seconds and became disabled spit out a mouthful of blood, then fell on his back.

After the man fell. The beggar-like old man looked at Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie rubbed his eyes first, then swallowed hard, looked at the old man, and tried his best to squeeze a stiff smile on his face, "Old...father, we...we meet again..."

This person was exactly the old beggar Zhang Tie had seen at the wharf and Bailong Town a few days ago. When I first saw the old man here in Bailong Town, this old man was thrown into the street by several servants of the Zhao Mansion in Bailong Town. He was almost beaten up. Zhang Tie even took out his wallet and gave it to him he.

Since that day, the old man would occasionally go to the pier to watch Zhang Tie release sand scales. The old man didn't talk much, his nerves were not normal, and he was often in a daze. He squatted by the sea for hours. To get mad, Zhang Tie only thought of him as an ordinary poor old beggar, and a few times when he saw how pitiful he was, he would bring him something to eat or clothes to wear.

Zhang Tie never thought that such an old beggar would be a master, a peerless master, a master who could turn a tenth-level strong fighter into a cripple without a single move. Zhang Tie didn't know what level this old beggar was. Zhang Tie only knew that this old beggar's awesomeness had exceeded his poor brain's imagination.

The old man looked at Zhang Tie without saying a word, but sized Zhang Tie up and down again.

Seeing the old man like this, Zhang Tie's heart trembled immediately, you must not play amnesia at this time, if you come to me indiscriminately, then I will complain to someone.

Looking at the old man's scrutinizing eyes, Zhang Tie quickly wiped the dirt and blood on his face, and then tidied up his hair to make himself look less embarrassed. After relaxing the muscles on his face again and squeezing out a smiling face, Zhang Tie put The voice slowed down, "Don't you remember? I'm Zhang Tie, the one who often releases sand scales with you at the pier, the one who bought grilled fish and bamboo rice for you last time, do you remember? "

Seeing Zhang Tie's ridiculous hard work at the moment, a smile floated on the corner of the beggar-like old man's mouth, "Of course I remember who you are. There are only a handful of times this old man has received favors from others in his life. You are the first one to treat yourself Your purse stuffed on me, you have two gold coins, thirty-eight silver coins and seventeen coppers in your purse, you have given me food six times, and you have bought me a suit of clothes, please I stayed in an inn once, took a bath once..." The old man casually kicked the guy lying on the ground, like kicking a salted fish that had been disembowelled and left to dry on the mat, "How is this guy What happened, he seems to want to kill you..."

Zhang Tie didn't know why this old man appeared here. The way this old man appeared on the stage made Zhang Tie not slow down now.

"Oh, it's hard to say!" Zhang Tie sighed, and secretly looked at the suit that this beggar-like old man was wearing. That suit was bought for him by Zhang Tie. It's beyond Zhang Tie's comprehension that the old man's clothes covered in silver coins still look like this after he walked out of the magma. "I came to the underground this time to formally advance to the seventh level and condense the seventh-level battle spirit totem. I didn't expect to be betrayed and plotted against. If you didn't show up all the time, I'm afraid..."

The old man seemed to empathize with Zhang Tie's words, and suddenly became angry, "The shameless and despicable people in this world can't be killed no matter how hard they try. Since this person wants your life, then I will help you!" Get rid of him!" The old man's casual words were full of murderous aura as if a mountain of corpses and blood were coming, which made Zhang Tie's heart shudder.

Seeing the old man lift up one foot, trying to crush that guy to death like an ant, Zhang Tie cried out quickly. "Please slow down..."

"Why, don't you want to speak up for this kind of person?" There was already some dissatisfaction in the old man's tone.

"This person still has some joints. I want to ask him a few words. Find out who is plotting against me. It's not too late to find out who is behind the scenes and kill them, so that these people will not always come to me in the future!"

While talking, Zhang Tie walked over, trying to wake up the guy on the ground, but it took him a long time. That guy didn't wake up either, so Zhang Tie couldn't help looking at the old man for help.

I didn't see what the old man did, he just stretched out his foot and kicked the man's ribs, and the man who had just passed out woke up slowly.

"You ask. He is incapable of action now!" The old man stood beside him with his arms folded.

Zhang Tie didn't avoid suspicion, and directly in front of the old man, he tore off the cross-dressing mask on the man's face, revealing the man's true face.

Under that mask was a man in his thirties and forties with a long, narrow face and slightly gloomy face.

After the man woke up, a somewhat crazy smile appeared on his face. He looked at Zhang Tie and the old man with resentful eyes, and said ruthlessly, "Zhang Tie, this time I'm the one who fell, but you'll never want to follow me!" What useful information do you get here!"

Zhang Tie smiled, "Your face is always recognized by someone. Do you think that with the ability of the Zhang family, knowing what you look like, can't you find some clues?"

"Ha...ha..." The man laughed wildly, vomiting blood while laughing, "You can try and see if Huaiyuantang can get any clues from me, even if you cut off my head right now , let me tell you, no one will be able to recognize my origin from my face..."

"Really?" There was a smile on the corner of Zhang Tie's mouth. He didn't look at the man's face, but stared at the man's ears. He looked very seriously, carefully, inch by inch. It's like admiring a peerless painting, "I know, for an organization like yours that often does some shady things, everyone hides their heads and shows their tails. In addition to the most common cross-dressing masks, there must be many others to cover up their origins." And identity preparations, your face may have undergone plastic surgery a long time ago, so no matter what the circumstances, you are not afraid that someone will recognize your origin through your face!"

A sinister smile floated from the corner of the man's mouth, "It's good that you know, no matter how powerful Huaiyuantang is, it is impossible to know my origin. As long as I die, you can wait for our organization's revenge!"

"Do you think it's really impossible for others to recognize your origin except for your face?" There was a hint of sarcasm in Zhang Tie's eyes.

"I heard that before the cataclysm, human beings used the power of science and technology to master the means of testing DNA to identify a person's origin, but now that era is no longer, your little trick is useless to me at all!" The man snorted coldly Said in one voice.

"Really, it's a pity that I used to know a stingy fat man who often cross-dressed and changed his appearance due to professional needs and some of his eccentricities. He once told me that a person no matter Whether it’s plastic surgery, or wearing a mask or using potions to complete cross-dressing, there’s a place that that person will never be able to disguise!” Zhang Tie smiled, “Do you know where it is…”

"It's impossible!" the man said with a sneer.

"It's not impossible, but ordinary people never imagined that this is the place where a person can never complete a disguise!" Zhang Tie said, pulling the man's ear with his hand, and pinching it vigorously, "Your The ear, to be precise, is the pinna. It doesn’t look like you have undergone plastic surgery with you. Because of its special structure, if you want to have surgery here to change the shape of the ear, at most you can only slightly modify its shape. Make changes, but can't make any changes to its structure, unless that person wants to leave himself with an obviously deformed external body feature caused by surgery!"

"So what if my ears don't change?"

"This is the ignorance of uneducated people..." Zhang Tie sighed, "Do you know that a person's auricle is divided into helix and helix tubercle. The scaphoid, helix crus, concha, auricle Screen, antitragus, triangular fossa, upper corner of antihelix, etc. There are 19 large areas. Among these 19 large areas, there are a total of 34 small identification areas that can be divided into 34 small identification areas. Compared with a person's appearance , a person's ear has more typical personal identification features. Among the nineteen large identification areas and thirty-four small identification areas of a person's ear, there are twelve intersecting ear identification features These twelve genetic characteristics can best reflect a person's blood and family genetic characteristics. Except for people in one family, it is almost impossible to have complete repetitions in the world. This is comparable to single eyelids, double eyelids, and face shape. Family and blood inheritance can better show a person's identity!"

The expression of the man lying on the ground suddenly changed, and even the old man next to him who had not spoken all this time gave Zhang Tie a slightly surprised look. It seemed that Zhang Tie was surprised to know this.

Zhang Tie didn't look at the man's face, but sighed with self-pity, "The art of matching ears is a secret that that stingy fat man taught me back then, a kind that only his transvestite can master." Do you know that in order to learn this secret, I was forced by that fat man to spend a day in the grocery store staring at the ears of the customers who came to the store for a long time before I could finally do it in the grocery store? Do you completely forget the looks of those people when you meet them once, and only remember the looks of their ears? Do you know how perverted training this is?"

"Even so, so what? There are so many people in the Hawaii subcontinent, can you catch everyone to look at that person's ear?" The man forced his composure to say.

"You don't need to see people who have visited the entire subcontinent of Weiyi. In fact, when I first came to the underground to gather fighting spirit, I met a young man who came down with our team. When someone in the team praised Huaiyuantang When I was in the Zhang family, I remember that person snorted coldly at that time, and there were not many people who dared to express dissatisfaction with the Zhang family on the Zhang family's territory, so, at that time, I quietly remembered that young man, and gathered together After the war, I inquired about the origin of this young man through the relationship of Qianlongtang. Coincidentally, I took a closer look at you now, and I found that the twelve family genetic characteristics on your auricles are almost the same as that young man. They are exactly the same, do you want to know which family and surname this young man comes from..." Zhang Tie said, his eyes slowly turned cold.

The man lying on the ground looked at Zhang Tie at this time, and there was already a kind of fear in his disdainful eyes, which was obviously out of order, and he shouted, "Impossible...impossible, you can't even think about it from me!" What's going on here!"

"Idiots like you, what else can you do other than playing tricks and schemes to harm people, other than claiming to be vicious and cunning, and taking advantage of your strength to bully people who are inferior to you?" Zhang Tie suddenly broke out, and slapped this On the man's face, the man spurted blood, and a few teeth flew away at once, "Do you think I'm going to lie to you, a dead man, at this time? That bastard surnamed Zhen is from Langya County, Jinyun Kingdom. People from the Zhen family in Hancheng, you bastard is also from the Zhen family, right? You still want to be worshiped in the future. In a few days, your Zhen family in Tianhan City will be wiped out, dare to plot against me, fuck you..." Zhang Tie spit on this person directly.

"No, I'm not from the Zhen family in Tianhan City, I'm not from the Zhen family in Tianhan City..." The guy lying on the ground yelled crazily, struggling to stand up, although he said no, but he The reaction and attitude at this moment, in Zhang Tie's view, already explained everything.

"Are you from the Zhen family? Naturally, someone will dig up the Zhen family's old background and investigate clearly. You think that under Huaiyuantang's methods and watchful eyes, the things hidden by the Zhen family can really be hidden!" Zhang Tie sneered, "Do you think you are the only smart people in this world? If you dare to mess with me, you have to be prepared to pay a price you can't afford!"

The man stared at Zhang Tie firmly, as if he wanted to remember Zhang Tie's appearance. His eyes were about to bleed, and it wasn't until this time that he realized that Zhang Tie's horror, Zhang Tie's horror, did not lie in his martial arts, fighting spirit, and terrifying hidden weapons, but in his head and the things inside his head. thing.

Once a flaw as big as a needle's eye falls into Zhang Tie's hands, Zhang Tie may poke a hole in Shanda. Such a person. It's too scary, and it's too perverted. This man didn't realize until today that there are still perverts like Zhang Tie in this world. Remember, not the person's appearance. It's the way that person's ears look...

"You devil... Devil. Even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go!" The man yelled in despair, spit out black blood from his mouth, tilted his head, and died. With the death of this man, his body. It also began to rot rapidly, and in just a few minutes, even most of the bones were eroded.

Zhang Tie took a few steps back while pinching his nose, "It's so terrifyingly poisonous. Hidden in the teeth, even the body is corroded..."

After saying this, no one answered, Zhang Tie turned his head to look, only to find that the old beggar looked at him with burning eyes, just like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman, and a vicious dog seeing a fleshy bone, the light in the old man's eyes, Zhang Tie fought a cold war inexplicably.

"Old man...you old...why do you keep looking at me like this?" Zhang Tie asked a little nervously, for fear that the old man would have another epileptic fit and suddenly lose his mind.

"Not bad... not bad... I have enough brains, it seems that at least I won't be fooled by others casually in the future!" The old man seemed very happy.

Zhang Tie laughed dryly, "By the way, I haven't thanked you for saving my life yet... I don't know if I am dazzled, but I seem to have seen you walk out of the magma just now! "

"The temperature of this red magma is only five or six hundred degrees, it's nothing!" The old man waved his hand indifferently, "You will know later, there are many things in this world that ordinary people can't figure out. , Unbelievable, in the final analysis, it’s just that the ability has not been achieved! As long as it is achieved, it is just very common.”

Zhang Tie thought about the Black Iron Fort that he hadn't figured out so far, and nodded.

"By the way, I've known you for so long, and I still don't know what your name is?" Zhang Tie said respectfully.

"Didn't I say that, others call me refining demons!" The old man looked at Zhang Tie with a smile, like a beggar who has been begging all his life looking at a big ingot, and almost touched the hair on Zhang Tie's head. "You don't have to be so extravagant, you can call me master!"

"Master!" Zhang Tieshun felt a little strange after shouting the word. Could it be that this old man's surname is "Master", this name took all the advantages of others.

"Hey..." After Zhang Tie shouted, the old man seriously agreed.

Seeing the old man's helpful expression, Zhang Tie suddenly felt that something was wrong, and wanted to explain a few words, "Ah... I was not..."

Just when Zhang Tie was about to explain, the remaining subordinates of the man in black rushed down the slope in a hurry.

"Quack..." The old man who was still smiling just now turned cold, and didn't know what to do. He flicked his fingers, and a little blue thing flew towards the rushing people like a shooting star chasing the moon. After passing by, it went up much faster than the arrow thrown by Zhang Tie, and without a sound, it flew over a distance of more than 200 meters in an instant, and landed among those people...

An earth-shattering explosion sounded, and the fiery flames and shock waves swept across. Although it was more than two hundred meters away from that place, Zhang Tie still felt a gust of hot wind blowing from somewhere, making his face chill.

After the explosion and flames passed, there was not even a scum left of those minions who were about to rush down just now. Zhang Tie looked at the explosion and flames stupidly, and swallowed hard. Damn, this is still person?

"By the way, what did you want to say to Teacher Wei just now?" The beggar-like old man who had just had a frosty face turned around and asked Zhang Tie again with a smile.

Explosion...explosion...refining demon...refining demon...alchemy demon...

Zhang Tie was so blessed that no one hesitated at all. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times vigorously, "Zhang Tie pays homage to master!" (to be continued...)
