Mortal Bones
Chapter 58: Serial robberies, the old Taoist priest's fatal question
Of course, if he didn't answer, he would also die.
"Let's confirm first whether the question asked by the old Taoist priest is consistent with what I saw with my left eye."
Xu Taiping's mind turned quickly, and then he nodded to the old Taoist priest, smiling calmly:
"Okay."
From the picture seen by his left eye, the old Taoist priest was also incredibly strong. Even if he used all his strength, he could only barely resist one or two moves.
The most important thing is, according to the words he heard when he was dying in the second picture.
The reason why the old Taoist priest killed him was just to try his hand before fighting with his enemy later. He was unlucky to meet him.
If Xu Taiping refused to answer now, the old Taoist priest would definitely take action immediately.
So he actually had no choice but to agree.
"Young people are happy to do things."
Seeing Xu Taiping's answer, the old Taoist priest nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately, he took out two porcelain dolls from his sleeves, placed them on the table with great care, and then asked Xu Taiping with a smile:
"Young man, take a look, which of these two porcelain dolls is uglier?"
Hearing this question, Xu Taiping's fingers trembled slightly on his sleeves.
"Sure enough, it's still this question."
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Because in the picture he saw with his left eye, the old Taoist asked him to answer this question.
"Master, can I take a closer look before answering?"
Xu Taiping asked the old Taoist.
"Of course."
The old Taoist agreed immediately, then stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Xu Taiping nodded, then carefully picked up the porcelain doll on the left from the table, and began to look at it carefully.
Seeing this scene, a hint of approval appeared in the old Taoist's turbid eyes.
And Xu Taiping felt that the cold and murderous aura on the old Taoist was much less at this moment.
"It seems that the words I heard when I was dying in the second picture related to the left eye and the fourth catastrophe are also correct."
Xu Taiping breathed a sigh of relief again.
Although the time for the blood rain to fall was getting closer and closer, he did not take it lightly, but carefully looked at every detail of the two porcelain figures.
According to the words he heard before "dying", choosing the uglier one from the two porcelain figures is not the key to answering the old Taoist's question.
Because the prototypes of these two porcelain figures are the deceased wife and daughter of the old Taoist.
So no matter who you say is ugly, he will kill you.
After carefully looking at the two porcelain figures for a while, Xu Taiping found that the two porcelain figures looked rough on the outside, but in fact, whether it was the expression of the eyebrows and eyes, or the standing posture, they were very lifelike.
For example, the porcelain figure that looks like a girl, if you look closely, you can even see the blood veins on the back of her hand, and even the cloth tiger in her arms is clearly visible.
The porcelain figure that looked like a woman was holding a piece of mended and folded clothes in her hand. Many small wounds and thick calluses could be seen on her fingers.
The eyes of the two porcelain figures were also very vivid. The woman's eyes were full of worry, and the girl's eyes were full of reluctance.
This was clearly a scene of a mother and daughter bidding farewell to their relatives.
To be honest, even if it was not for the sake of saving his life, after carefully observing the two porcelain figures, Xu Taiping could not give the evaluation of "ugly" to these two people.
Even though the appearance of the two people was indeed very ordinary.
"Master, I can't choose."
Xu Taiping put down the two porcelain figures.
Hearing this, a trace of hostility flashed in the eyes of the old Taoist priest. If he had not had a good impression of Xu Taiping just now, I am afraid that he would have reached out to pick his head at this time.
"Oh, tell me, why can't you choose? Do you think these two porcelain figures are ugly?"
The old Taoist priest looked at Xu Taiping with a smile.
This smile made Xu Taiping's heart tremble.
However, he still kept calm and said:
"No, these two porcelain figures, one is a mother working hard at home, and the other is a girl who is reluctant to let her relatives leave. They should not be judged by beauty or ugliness."
This is what Xu Taiping really thinks.
When the old Taoist heard this, the anger hidden in his eyes immediately dissipated, but he did not end the question, but continued to ask Xu Taiping:
"What if the old Taoist still wants you to find the ugliest one among these two porcelain figures?"
Hearing this, Xu Taiping was silent.
In fact, he knew that his answer just now was already a pass.
But for the old Taoist's question, he had an answer in his heart, but this answer was very likely to offend the old Taoist.
After thinking carefully for a moment, Xu Taiping finally followed his heart and gave the answer:
"If we really want to say the ugliest one, it should be the one who left the mother and daughter without saying goodbye."
Hearing this, the old Taoist was stunned at first, and then asked with a cold look:
"But I'm asking about these two porcelain figures."
"Without the one who left without saying goodbye, there wouldn't be these two porcelain figures."
Xu Taiping shook his head.
While speaking, he had already made the gesture of using the Cang Luan Ring.
After hearing Xu Taiping's answer, the old Taoist was silent at first, and then laughed out loud with a little madness:
"That's right, young man. The ugliest person is the one who left the mother and daughter without saying goodbye!"
