Chapter 216: Senior's Guidance
In his heart, Chen Liang already regarded the cloaked monster as a highly respected and hidden master. At the same time, his fear has decreased a lot, and he is no longer so reluctant to meet the other party.
When you come to the attic, you will see a few old and simple furniture, and there is almost no decoration on the wall except for a few calligraphy and paintings. Compared with the hall where Mei Chunjiao lived, the environment here did not look like it was in the same century.
"Sit. The cloaked monster floated faintly behind Chen Liang, like a ghost.
He broke out in a cold sweat, but quickly regained his composure. I found a chair and sat down. The cloaked freak sat down in a position facing the window, not looking at him.
He was very curious about the other party's appearance, but he didn't go around the window to peep out, right? Besides, the cloaked monster did that for a reason. As a junior, Chen Liang has no qualifications to force the other party.
"You want to save the Healer from the Poison Venerable, do you?" the cloaked monster began.
Chen Liang nodded subconsciously at first, and then reacted, the other party didn't look at him at all, what's the use of nodding himself?
As a result, the other party's cloak seemed to have another pair of eyes, and his movements could be seen clearly. Before he could speak, the cloaked freak continued. "In that case, I advise you not to struggle, but to give up. ”
"Senpai, can you tell me why?" he asked, tentatively, frowning.
"Hehe, isn't the reason simple enough?" the cloaked freak mocked. "With your little bit of Taoism, you can't even clean up a small hall master under Poison Venerable, and you still want to go to him for trouble, it's simply self-aware, it's ridiculous. ”
When Chen Liang heard this, he suddenly became angry, clenched his fists and shouted. "Although I don't know the horror of Poison Venerable, I understand a truth. One day as a teacher and a father for life, now that my master is in trouble, as his only single disciple, how can I retreat because the enemy is strong?"
"It's a nice word, aren't you afraid of death?" the cloaked freak sneered, his attitude tepid.
"Death? Man is inherently dead, either lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai. In order to save the people who are vital to him, he will die if he dies! What is there to be afraid of?" Chen Liangyi finished his heartfelt words solemnly, then shook his hand and walked towards the stairs. Since the other party is sincere and looks down on him very much, why should he grovel and continue to beg the other party? He thought to himself that he had hands and feet and was self-reliant, so he was afraid that he would not be able to find the poisonous venerable for the rest of his life?
Sensing that Chen Liang was leaving, the face under the cloak raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Chen Liang was about to go downstairs when the cloaked monster sitting at the window suddenly launched a sneak attack without warning. A large hand was overwhelming, pressing down on his head, and then there was a gust of air pressure like a tidal wave, and it covered it for a while, and it became stronger and stronger.
"Damn, do you want me to die?" Chen scolded in his conscience, raised his hands high, and used the strength of his whole body to resist the big hand. He had just recovered from his serious injuries, and he hadn't even had time to fully nourish his meridians to their best. Therefore, the strength he can exert is only about six to seven percent of his peak state.
It didn't take long for Chen Liang to show signs of defeat. His hands trembled unconsciously, and sweat fell from his forehead like raindrops. He knew that even if he went all out, he would only be able to last a few seconds at most.
At the moment when he was close to collapse, the big hand suddenly withdrew, and all the pressure was also eliminated. He lost his strength in an instant, half-kneeling on the ground, gasping breathlessly.
"Can you afford to trample my floor?" the cloaked freak scolded, turning around. Under the deep cloak, a pair of sharp eyes were revealed, like two daggers, which directly pierced Chen Liang's heart.
"Get up!" The cloaked monster raised his right hand casually, and Chen Liang suddenly felt wrapped in a warm force. The various discomfort feelings after the drama also disappeared quickly.
He clenched his hands into fists and took the initiative to apologize to the other party. "Thank you seniors for your advice, I will definitely compensate for your floor. ”
"Tell me, what did I tell you?" the cloak stranger's tone was much calmer, even with a hint of joy.
"The senior tested my cultivation just now, and by the way, it was to tell me. There are countless masters in the world, and you must not be arrogant, lest you lose your life in vain. At first, Chen Liang mistakenly thought that the other party was going to kill him, but at the last moment, the other party withdrew his strength, and he understood the good intentions of his predecessors.
The cloaked freak smiled heartily, though his laughter was a little scary, enough to scare a crying child at night. "Very well, you are a little savvy. No wonder the old man of the doctor is willing to take you as an apprentice. ”
"Do you know my master?" successfully aroused Chen Liang's curiosity. The old man almost never told him about his past, so he didn't know much about it.
"Yes, I know your master. It's just that your master doesn't know me. The caped freak cleared his throat and continued. "Although I have never known your master in my life, I admire him very much. He focused on medicine, practiced medicine everywhere when he was young, and I don't know how many poor people he saved. He used his miraculous medical skills to restore the health of one after another who wandered through the ghost gate. Day after day, year after year. Later, everyone called him a medical saint......"
The cloaked monster held Chen Liang's master in high esteem, and said a lot, and he was overjoyed to hear it, even happier than he had been praised. Suddenly, the conversation changed, and the cloaked freak said again. "Alas, alas. Your master has a very stupid flaw - that is, he is too merciful to the enemy. ”
"Today's poisonous venerable is indispensable, and it is evil. It is inseparable from your Master's kindness. At that time, the Poison Venerable was far from reaching his current height, and his poison skills were also very average......"
It turned out that forty years ago, Poison Venerable had a duel with the Medical Saint. In order to make the doctor willing to compete with himself, the poison lord poisoned the well water in the village, so that the whole village was poisoned.
They made a bet: if the Healer could unravel everyone's poison, even if the Healer would win, the Poison would kill himself on the spot, and if the Healer couldn't, then the Poison would be the winner, and he would kill the Healer and kill more people.
The later result, of course, was that the medical saint won. The poison venerable was hit, but he broke his oath and was unwilling to commit suicide. The poison lord chose to escape, but the medical saint did not chase the weak poison zun to death out of compassion and benevolence......
The cloaked freak told the story in general terms, and he himself was not present at the time, and it was only hearsay. It was only since then that he really admired the medical saint because of his character.
After Chen Liang listened to the story of the old man when he was young, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart: Alas, if the bad old man had been ruthless back then, wouldn't he have no need to be calculated by the villain of the poison venerable now? But then again, according to his character, he would definitely not be able to do it anyway...... Speaking of which, all the problems come down to the despicable guy of the Poison Venerable. That guy's childhood life is definitely shadowy, and his nerves are abnormal, which leads to his psychology being perverted.
"Senpai, thank you for telling me this. Chen Liang greeted the Poison Venerable and the eighteen generations of the Poison Venerable in his heart, and then came back to his senses. "I have other questions that I would like to ask. ”
"I guess you're asking where I can find Poison Venerable, right?" the cloaked freak snapped to the point, and the former snorted. "To tell you the truth, I don't know where the poison lord is hiding. All I know is that over the years, he has been searching for talents everywhere and forming gangs. formed a powerful force. It is said that he has five hall masters and two protectors under him. The Guan Baihe you encountered that day was the master of the earth hall in the five halls of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. ”
Chen Liang couldn't help but gasp, Lao Jiang hadn't told him this. "I see, no wonder you're trying to stop me. Alas, as you said, I can't even clean up Guan Baihe, and I still want to find trouble with Poison Zun, it's just a fool's dream. ”
