Ning Tao pushed open the door of the fence courtyard and walked in, and the door of the house with the lights on also opened.

An old man walked out of the doorway.

The eyes are facing each other.

Ning Tao suddenly lost control of his emotions and rushed forward.

The old man raised a hand, made a pause gesture, and said nervously: "Calm down......!

There is a kind of encounter called stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get there, and the popular saying is that Lao Tzu looks where you run!

This old man is none other than Chen Pingdao, a Tiangu Daoist.

Ning Tao has been looking for Chen Pingdao's whereabouts since he took over the Tianwai Clinic, but Chen Pingdao seems to have evaporated from this world, let alone finding someone, and there is not even the slightest news. Unexpectedly, on this trip to Africa, cave exploration, I actually met him in such an isolated cave treasure!

This reunion is a coincidence, but it is also providential.

The anger in Ning Tao's heart came and went quickly. Just now, outside the forest, before Qing Chai could stick out his tongue to identify the smell, he actually knew who was hiding in the forest. That's why he let Jiang Hao and Qing stay outside the forest and came here alone.

He was only dissatisfied with Chen Pingdao, and had no resentment. He was dissatisfied that Chen Pingdao tricked him into taking over the Tianwai Clinic and then slipped away, and he didn't know anything. At that time, even if Chen Pingdao casually instructed him, he would not be so difficult and walk on thin ice.

However, it was also Chen Pingdao who started his cultivation career. If it weren't for Chen Pingdao, he would probably still be an intern in a small township hospital, and in the future, he might fall in love with a rural girl, and then get married and have children. This is not the life he wants at all, although the Tianwai clinic has brought him great pressure, and he may be disillusioned because he can't pay the consultation fee for a certain month, but he prefers this life now. Now, even if the Outer Clinic gave him a choice, allowing him to go back to his old days, or continue to be the owner of the Outer Clinic, he would choose the Outer Clinic instead of an ordinary, idle life.

After a short silence, Ning Tao sighed: "Forget it, I've thought more than once about how to beat you when I see you again, but when I see you, I can't do it." ”

Chen Pingdao smiled: "Isn't this enough? We have no grievances and no enemies, why are you beating me?"

Ning Tao waved his hand suddenly.

Chen Pingdao jumped up with a swish, and when his figure stopped again, he was already on the roof of the cottage.

In the same situation, Doctor Xiuzhen, it is not good to fight, but running for life is more powerful than the other.

Ning Tao stretched out his hand and touched his wet hair, looked at Chen Ping and said, "With your guts, how did you live for more than two thousand years?"

Chen Pingdao said shamelessly: "I'm a timid person by nature, I never take risks, you see I hid here to hide from you, and it's not a problem for me to live here for another two thousand years in this place." ”

Ning Tao said: "Come down, your cultivation is far above me, you are so afraid that I will beat you, you are not afraid of being laughed at?"

Chen Pingdao didn't mean to get down from the roof, just as Ning Tao was speaking, his gaze suddenly moved to the direction outside the woods, and his expression suddenly became nervous: "You even brought two helpers!"

is also a natural middleman between good and evil, and has also been the owner of the Outer Heaven Clinic, Chen Pingdao's eyes can also enter the state of vision, and see Qing Chai and Jiang Hao's precedent field.

Ning Tao said: "It's my woman, I'm just afraid that you'll be afraid, so let them stay outside, come down, let's have a good chat, I have something I want to ask you." ”

Chen Pingdao looked at Ning Tao suspiciously: "You swear not to do it?"

Ning Tao spread his hands and said a little speechlessly: "I really convinced you, what are you afraid of?"

Chen Pingdao jumped off the roof of the house at this time, but still kept a distance from Ning Tao.

Ning Tao walked to a stone table in the courtyard, sat on a stone bench next to the stone table, then pointed to the seat opposite, and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

Chen Pingdao didn't go over: "It's okay, you sit, I'll stand, what do you want to know from me?"

Ning Tao didn't expect Chen Pingdao to chat with him like an ordinary person, he asked casually: "Why are you here?"

Chen Pingdao said: "I have lived for more than 2,000 years, this world is not big, what is suitable for seclusion, can I still not know? When Zheng He went to the West, I played a cameo role as a ship doctor on his ship, and later happened to come to Africa and discovered this place. I left a blood lock, and when I had time, I came to plant trees and flowers, and it took me seventy years to build this grass hut you see. ”

It took seventy years to build a grass house, and it was really too lazy to die, and the property rights of the houses on the land and land of this house had expired.

Chen Pingdao stared at Ning Tao: "After I passed the clinic to you, I came here to live in seclusion, I didn't think you would find here, how did you find here?"

Ning Tao said: "I came here to treat a chief, and I found that there was aura released from the cave, so I found here. ”

"The ghost bats didn't bite you?"

"Do you want me to be bitten to death by a ghost bat?"

Chen Pingdao was slightly stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand: "How can I have such evil intentions, I can be regarded as half of your master, I will wash you the marrow and cut the scriptures, and I will also pass the Tianwai clinic to you......"

"Hmph!" Ning Tao became angry when he heard this: "You tricked me into signing the soul contract and inheriting the clinic, but as soon as you left, I didn't understand anything but had to pay rent." If it weren't for my fate, I'm afraid I would have died, and you would be embarrassed to say that it was half of my master!"

Chen Pingdao smiled awkwardly: "That...... Aren't you living a good life now? Young people have to go through it, and I can see that your future achievements will be very great!"

Ning Tao said: "Forget it, I didn't expect to meet you here, let alone settle accounts with you." Let's not talk about the past, you tell me, is that the dog Ding your Ding?"

Chen Pingdao shook his head: "Although my name is Tiangu Daoren, it is not my Ding, it is a Ding of a good and evil intermediary in the Linggu Era." I've used it to refine Dan, but it doesn't work well. I often use the beautiful fragrance tripod, the tripod is easy to use, it is also a good and evil intermediary refining tripod in the ancient era. ”

"Will the intermediary between good and evil have a refining tripod of their own?" Ning Tao asked.

Chen Pingdao said: "It should be, the clinic is upgraded to a certain level, and your cultivation has reached the corresponding realm, there will be a refining tripod exclusive to the owner of the clinic, and the clinic will probably give relevant instructions, but ......"

"But what?"

"But I'm not sure, you know, it hasn't been upgraded since I took over the clinic, and it's not at the level of its own refining at all. ”

"You've never been promoted?"

"If you upgrade, you have to increase the rent, I'm stupid, I still upgrade it? I work hard to refine the pill, cure the sick and save people, punish the wicked, and live a very hard life every day. But even so, I was deducted five times before and after, one of which was 200 years, which is equivalent to deducting my life of 1,000 years. Otherwise, would I be so old?" Speaking of this, Chen Pingdao suddenly became angry, "Sometimes, I want to burn that clinic with a fire!"

"How do you run it?" Ning Tao has always been curious about how Chen Pingdao managed the clinic to the brink of closure.

Chen Pingdao smiled bitterly: "I just look around for patients who have good thoughts and merits and evil thoughts and sins, but people don't believe them at all, and occasionally they believe in them, and when it comes to signing the prescription contract, how many people are willing to sign it? Especially those wicked people, if you want to cut off his hands and legs, and kill him, will he still sign obediently?"

Ning Tao has a deeper understanding of the character of Chen Pingdao, this product is not only lazy, timid, but also a little pedantic and does not know how to be flexible. Imagine, if Chen Pingdao also found a Taoist like Qing Chai to help and trick those wicked people, then he would not have run the Tianwai Clinic to the brink of bankruptcy.

"In this world, there are fewer and fewer good people, and there are more and more evil people, and it is difficult to make money for consultation. Alchemy costs money, and the clinic doesn't make money. I feel more and more bored, I am also looking for an heir while practicing medicine, and God has paid off, and I have finally found you. I'm not suitable for running a clinic, but you are suitable for ......" As if he was worried about provoking Ning Tao, Chen Pingdao changed the topic: "By the way, you haven't upgraded the clinic either, has the rent now reached four hundred?"

"Four hundred?"

"I don't think so, it's not easy to earn two hundred good and evil rents, let alone four hundred. Chen Pingdao looked determined.

Ning Tao snorted contemptuously in his nostrils: "Four hundred, I am now asking for four thousand rent a month." ”

"Huh?" Chen Pingdao's jaw dropped to the ground in shock.

Ning Tao said lightly: "In addition to the rent of four thousand, I also opened the two doors of the scripture calligraphy library. ”

Chen Pingdao walked quickly to the stone table, and couldn't wait to say, "Tell me quickly, what's inside those two library doors?"

Ning Tao said curiously, "Why should I tell you?"

Chen Pingdao was stunned on the spot, he was very anxious, but Ning Tao was reluctant to tell him, he was really embarrassed to ask. Yes, when he first pit Ning Tao, Ning Tao was still a student and didn't understand anything, he even concluded that Ning Tao could only live for a month, but he didn't expect that Ning Tao not only upgraded the clinic to four thousand rents a month, but also opened two doors of the scripture and calligraphy library.

Ning Tao smiled: "However, if you tell me how far this clinic will be upgraded in the end, I will tell you what is in those two gates, and I can even take you back to the clinic to have a look." ”

When Chen Pingdao heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I won't enter that clinic again." I lied to you once, and I actually feel very guilty. I'm not going to lie to you a second time, you ask me how far that clinic will eventually escalate, and I don't know because no one has ever done it. Also, I don't know where it came from, so don't ask me that. ”

"Do you know the origin of the rotten tripod, whose refining tripod is it?" Ning Tao asked.

Chen Pingdao said: "I don't know about this, I have used it to practice Dan, and the effect is not good." ”

Ning Tao felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, this thing didn't know that the rotten tripod was a tripod used to repair magic weapons, and now it seems that he was not wronged to run the clinic like that.

"Then how did you become a dog, you should know this, right?" Ning Tao stared at Chen Pingdao.

Chen Pingdao said: "It's not a change, it's the upper body." Out of my body, I can control the dog. But I'm sure you're nowhere near that right now, aren't you?"

Ning Tao nodded, he had only entered the Dan stage now, and Chen Pingdao was talking about the out-of-body period, and there was still a Yuan Infant stage in between, of course he couldn't do it.

Chen Pingdao smiled proudly, and finally regained a little face.

Ning Tao asked again: "I'm only in the Dan stage now, when you were in the Dan stage, how big was your inner Dan?"

Chen Pingdao stroked his silver beard lightly, smiled, raised his right hand, circled a shape the size of a ping-pong ball with his thumb and forefinger, and then said old-fashionedly: "It's not talented, it's so big, you are now in the Dan stage, how big is your Inner Dan?"

Ning Tao stretched out his hands and compared the shape of a volleyball.

Chen Pingdao stumbled and almost fell off the stone bench.
