Scar personally watched him step into the bedroom where he had spent the wind and rain with him, and He Xiu saw that the interior of the room had been turned upside down.

Sitting on Anu's bed, his hands stroking the blood on the pillow, thinking back to the time he spent with Anu.

The first time I was in distress, I fought side by side with myself, when I was found by the shopkeeper, when I was willing to scratch my mouth to save myself, and when I went out shopping for the first time......

All the first times were constantly circling in He Xiu's mind, as if Anu was right in front of him, but he couldn't touch it when he stretched out his hand, and an inexplicable sadness spread from his heart to his whole body.

"Boy, have you thought of what to take?" Scar urged.

"If you don't want to wait, you can get out. "He Xiu didn't have a good airway.

Scar leaned over the threshold and said, "Okay, I'll just look at you, watch you die little by little, haha." ”

He Xiu didn't reply again, looked down at a bloodstain that went straight to the bottom of his bed, looked down, he saw where the old man's shoes were placed, He Xiu's heart tightened, and he recalled what Dao Anu had said to him, If you need it, I can give it back to you.

He Xiu grabbed the tip of his shoe violently, and felt that there was a round, walnut-sized object inside, and he was overjoyed, in order not to let Scar see the flaw, he opened the wardrobe and carefully folded the clothes one by one;

"Please. Scar said with a gesture.

He Xiu spread the burden on his chest and said, "Don't you check it again?"

"Get out of here, don't let Lao Tzu see you again. ”

When He Xiu was leaving, he glanced at the vat where he had lived for a month, and said, "Bring a message to your son-in-law for me, I will come back sooner or later!"

After He Xiu came out, he carried the food box on his back, and just walked to the gate of the town hall, he saw a lot of victims being dragged by the officials, and an old man squeezed out from among the victims, and the old man shouted, "Little cubs, grandpa, I will come back one day." ”

Seeing this, He Xiu covered his stomach and laughed, waved his hands and said, "Old man Zhu, here, I'm here." ”

When the old man saw He Xiu's summoning, he ran over, patted He Xiu's head and said, "Shake your head silly boy, what are you doing here?

"Hehe, didn't I promise you last time to make you something to eat, didn't this bring it to you. He Xiu touched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know your mind, just take this bit of food and want to get Lao Tzu done, it's not that easy. As he spoke, the old man opened the food box, grabbed a steamed fish and gnawed it.

He Xiu asked, "Why did you come out?"

The old man spat out the shark fin and said, "There are a lot of victims in the prison, and there is no place for Lao Tzu. ”

He Xiu said, "That's fine, the victims are locked in prisons, at least they have a stutter." ”

The old man Zhu gnawed the steamed fish and only left the skeleton, grabbed a duck and gnawed it fiercely;

He Xiu's head turned, and he thought of a good place, "Why don't I take you to a place that is more secluded than a prison?"

The old man chewed the meat in his mouth and said vaguely, "Where?"

"Hiding Mountain, are you going?" He Xiu said tentatively.

"You know, Lao Tzu lived there for a while. The old man said as he threw away the duck bones.

"What?Old man Zhu, where have you lived?" He Xiu said with a glare.

The old man licked his fingers and said, "Lao Tzu also saw that on a dark and windy night, a silly boy followed three stupid donkeys up the mountain..."

He Xiu never expected that this old man bamboo had been secretly observing himself, and couldn't help asking, "Old man bamboo, who are you?"

The old man snapped his fingers one by one, whistled and said, "Immortal!"

He Xiu and Old Man Zhu walked to the foot of the Hidden Mountain, and Old Man Zhu said, "Shake your head silly boy, how about we compare our foot strength?"

He Xiu was interested, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Okay, I'm still afraid that you won't be an old man." Then he paused and added, "You have to make sure that you can't use immortal power. ”

"Less nonsense. ”

The old man spread his legs and ran in front, He Xiu shook his head secretly, and said to himself, "This old man doesn't follow the rules at all. Then he chased after him.

Soon the two ran on a line, and the old man smiled hehe, "Shake your head silly boy, how about it, is Lao Tzu's body okay?"

He Xiu saw that the old man Zhu didn't even take a breath, but he couldn't change a mouthful with his mouth open, and his lungs were about to explode; "It's not time to say this now, I won't lose to you." As he spoke, he surpassed the old man bamboo.

The two of you chase after me, gradually, the back of the old man disappeared in He Xiu's eyes, he stopped, stuck out his tongue, half-squatted and took a big breath, and it took a long time to recover.

When he ran to the top of the mountain, he found that the old man Zhu had fallen asleep with his back against a tombstone, and He Xiupan sat down in front of him and said, "Old man Zhu, I lost." ”

"Shake your head silly boy, you can't even climb this mountain, you can only stay in the first stage of the mystic in this life. The old man said with a sigh.

He Xiu said questioningly, "Old man Zhu, you said that I have become the first stage of the Xuan, why don't I feel anything?"

The old man closed his eyes, clapped his hands and said, "Shake your head silly boy, do you have any scars on the wounds on your body now?"

He Xiu understood, it turned out that when he reached the first stage of the Xuanzhi, his body would not leave a scar if he was injured by ordinary mortal weapons, and it would heal quickly, and he finally solved this question, no wonder he still had a burning pain in his abdomen after receiving Xiao Daoren's palm, and it has not been eliminated so far; "Then when will the burning pain in my abdomen be completely eradicated?"

The old man turned over, as if he didn't want to answer anymore, "When you break through the second stage of the Xuan Sect, the burning pain will naturally disappear. ”

He Xiu thought that Xiao Daoren had only reached the second stage of the Xuan Scholar at his age, and he was full of uncertainty about the future, and then took out his shoes from the package and said, "Old man Zhu, this is the shoe you saved me that day, and I will return it to you now." ”

The old man turned around and looked at the shoes, and his heart was quite moved, but his face was not revealed; "Hehe, isn't it just a shoe, why keep it?" ”

He Xiu took out the bell from his shoe, held it in his hand and stared at Ah Fei and asked, "Old man Zhu, do you know the origin of this bell? It was it that defeated Xiao Daoren last time, if it hadn't been for it, I'm afraid I would have turned to ashes a long time ago." ”

"Shake your head, silly boy, this bell is a magic weapon for practice. The old man picked up a piece of wild grass and put it in his mouth, "It's just that you can't control it now." ”

He Xiu's eyes emitted two rays of expectation, and he held the bell in the palm of his hand; "Old man bamboo, when will I be able to truly control it?"

"When you get lucky, okay, it's not too early, you have to practice. The wild grass in the old man's mouth lit up at some point, and then stuck it on the ground; "Before this grass burns out, you have to run from your current position to the bottom of the mountain, and then return to this position, understand?"

He Xiu couldn't believe his ears, repeated what Old Man Zhu had just said, and confirmed, "Old Man Zhu, is this how you usually practice?"

The old man spread his hands and said, "Hehe, shake your head silly boy, if you refuse to run, you can lie down with Lao Tzu and sleep together, if Xiao Daoren comes to the door, you can deal with it yourself." ”

"Don't don't, don't, I'll run, can't I run. He Xiu put the bell in his arms, and ran down the mountain.

"This old man has a strange temper and does things more strangely, why do you want me to run around in the mountains?" But the weeds on the mountain had already submerged his knees, and the mountain road was relatively more difficult than running on flat ground, and He Xiu was exhausted when he ran to the foot of the mountain, and lay on the ground to breathe.

Remembering that the old man Zhu had a time limit for him, he didn't dare to stay longer, so he did a simple warm-up action, and ran up the mountain, and when he ran halfway up the mountain in one breath, his legs were really weak, and he couldn't walk another step, and there was a dull pain in his lower abdomen. He Xiu now believed what Old Man Zhu said, and it was not a simple matter to cultivate metaphysics.

In the days that He Xiu came to Qiman Town, he had exercised his character of not admitting defeat, and the more difficult things he was, the more he had to try his best to overcome them.

Thinking that Xiao Daoren had reached the second stage of the Xuan, it was easy to kill himself, and the motivation burst out from his heart again, took a deep breath, and ran towards the mountain.

I couldn't help but stay three more times in the middle, and finally ran to the old man bamboo, and fell to the ground; Old... Head.... Uncultivated... Grassland... Burnout... Is it there?"

The old man said with a smile, "No, it's only burned at most." ”

He Xiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and squeezed out a smile on his face; That...

That's it. ”

"Lao Tzu is saying that the fifth root is burned at most half. The old man got up, turned his back to his hands, and stopped talking.

He Xiu knelt on the ground, and sure enough, he saw four traces of burned grass ash, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in himself, and regained his spirit and said, "Old man bamboo, you order another one, I'll run again, I promise to finish the path you designated before the first one burns out." ”

"Hehe, shake your head silly boy, no need, Lao Tzu won't play with you anymore," the old man took three steps forward, stopped and said, "From today on, when can you finish the route designated by Lao Tzu before a wild grass burns out, and come back to see Lao Tzu." ”

He Xiu raised one hand in the air, wanting to stay, "Old man bamboo, where are you going?"

The old man Zhu didn't reply, he just walked forward, He Xiu saw that he suddenly disappeared when he walked fifty meters, so he hurriedly looked forward, but found that there was only a desolate grave pile in front of him, and there was nothing else, He Xiu couldn't help but shout, "Old man Zhu, you can't go far, if I can meet your requirements, where should I find you?"

He Xiu waited for a long time, and saw that the old man Zhu had no news, so he had to sit on the ground and muttered to himself, "This strange old man, if you want to teach me, why torture me so much, by the way, this old man shouldn't be testing me, well, it must be, I must persevere, I must not let him look flat, isn't it just running, what's the big deal, it's better than facing Xiao Daoren, just run, and it will scare you when the time comes." ”

After all, He Xiu was still not sure, looking at the endless barren grass and rocks on the mountain, running was difficult and obstructive, and he couldn't wait to burn these barren grasses with a fire.

He knew that it was useless to think about this, so he returned to the place designated by the old man bamboo, took out the fire fold from his bosom, lit the barren grass about five incense sticks high, stuck it in the soil, pressed his legs, and ran down the mountain.

The speed of the second run was obviously not as fast as the first run, and when he returned, he was already soaked, with green air on the top of his head, and when he saw that the wild grass had already burned out, he couldn't help but hammer his chest and secretly scolded himself for not being capable.

I wanted to run again, but found that time was no longer allowed, and seeing that the sky was sinking, He Xiu cut some wild grass with a dagger, simply built a grass nest in place, lay inside, took out the chicken leg I bought in Huipeng Building today from the package, and gnawed on a large piece of it.

In the middle of the night, there were bursts of eerie bird calls, He Xiu held the dagger in his hand, turned over and over and didn't dare to sleep, until the sleepiness completely hit, and then fell asleep.
