889 Soul Locker II
Listening to the ethereal sound of the piano, Su Chen walked up the stairs, and under the cold moonlight, he watched Shang Xiuxun standing in place, watching quietly, wanting to keep up, but unwilling to follow, his mood was extremely entangled. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Nor did he try to persuade him.
Shang Xiuxun has a knot, and she has to figure it out by herself, but it's not reluctant.
When you go up the stairs, you will find the back mountain, which is steep and reaches into the sky, with a natural barrier, which is also the side of the ranch that does not need to be guarded against.
The terrain here is quiet and treacherous, and very few people come here on weekdays, and Su Chen's Heavenly Medicine Hall's residence is too far away, so he doesn't pay attention to it.
And he also guessed who the old man inside was, and what he wanted? He was busy practicing all day, and he didn't have time to deal with such complicated matters for the time being.
At the top of the stairs is a small path, which curves left and right, and the beautiful corridors on both sides are endless.
After passing through a bamboo forest, the sound of water is loud, the original end is a square pavilion, the front is a hundred zhang high cliff, a waterfall to the cliff is pouring down, the momentum is pressing, if it is not separated by the bamboo forest, the courtyard must be able to hear the roaring water waterfall sound like thunder.
"It's a place to live in seclusion, although Xiuxun hates this old man very much, but after all, he treats him well, not only has a servant woman waiting outside, but also has such a good house to raise. That girl is too soft-hearted, and she is really not very suitable to be a superior. ”
There was a smile in Su Chen's eyes, it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, see what the situation was, if it was not too troublesome, it would be okay to help, if you have the heart to win the championship, the more talents, the better, isn't this the first all-rounder in the world, there are many places that can be used?
There is a gravel path on the left side of the cloister, which is connected with the square pavilion, extends to the depths of the forest along the edge of the cliff, and then walks a few steps, and suddenly the ground opens up in front of you, on the platform near the cliff, there is a two-storey small building, and the situation is dangerous.
At this time, the lights on the second floor were still leaking, indicating that the building was not only inhabited, but also not yet occupied.
The plaque of "Comfort Nest" was engraved on the main entrance of the building, and Su Chen looked up, and a sense of peace and tranquility swelled in his heart.
The two beams and pillars at the entrance are hung with a couplet, written on the wooden plaque, "The morning is suitable for tuning, the evening is suitable for drumming; "The font is dusty and powerful.
This hall is the architectural form of the four-sided hall, through the four-sided flower windows, the precipice covered by the plants behind the precipice, the surrounding soft fence, faintly penetrated into the hall, and it seems that the mahogany furniture furnished is thick and unpretentious, leisurely and natural.
At the corner of the house, there is a staircase made of Nan wood, leading to the upper floor.
At this time, the sound of the piano is already faint, like a sigh of resentment, like a sunset, and the old man sighs at the impermanence of life.
An old voice came: "Distinguished guests, please come in, the old man has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Su Chen nodded, knowing that this old man was a member of the agency, and I was afraid that the big and small things in the ranch would not escape his eyes, which was also a matter of course.
Because he had already discovered that the castle walls and all the defenses were so well arranged that even if they were besieged by ten times the enemy outside the castle, they would not be afraid, and this must have come from the hands of this man.
He went up the stairs, looked up, and saw a tall and thin old man with a sad face, a high crown, and a thin body, standing next to the window, watching Su Chen come in, stretched out his hand and said: "Come on, come on, Qiu Guan, try the old man's special six-fruit brew, but unfortunately Xiuxun refused to come up, I remember that she loved to drink it when she was a child." ”
There is infinite sigh and remorse in these words.
The remembrance in the old man's eyes made Su Chen look a little gloomy, some people, some things, after all, only knew how to regret not being at the beginning.
Looking at the past, in fact, this person's age is not too big, but he is more than fifty years old, and among those who practice martial arts, such an age can only be regarded as middle-aged.
Just like Shi Zhixuan, he is not much different in age, although he is mentally ill, he is still elegant and charming.
The reason why people feel that this person is an old man is that Su Chen can feel it, a thick twilight aura on his body is rushing to his face, and he is completely lifeless.
Not physical death, but mental death.
"He had a dark wound on his body, but it was not very serious, and it would not be life-threatening, but he did not live for a few days. ”
It's a contradiction.
Su Chen can see clearly in the special vision of the chip, the true qi on his body is completely dead, and the flame of life is also as flat as water, without waves.
Such symptoms are actually the old man's own defense mechanism has been out of balance, to be precise, he thinks he is going to die, and then he is really dead.
This kind of strange symptom, Su Chen actually saw it for the first time, but when he met for the first time, although he was puzzled, he didn't want to ask too much.
Lu Miaozi poured a full wine glass, the orange wine was viscous and silky, reflecting the candlelight like a soft light, and a faint sweet fragrance of flowers and fruits filled the house, making people feel like they were in the intoxicating spring light.
Su Chen took a sip.
The fruit is like silk in the throat and slides into the belly, the wine is mellow, soft and refreshing, and the most rare thing is that the aroma is rich and harmonious, and the aftertaste is long.
What's even more rare is that as the wine enters the abdomen, there is a pure and long yang and harmonious breath, which is integrated into the five internal organs and six abdomen, how to describe it? It is like a good afternoon of sunshine in the warm sun of a winter afternoon.
Just a glass into the stomach, it makes people drunk, Tao Taoran, and the strength of the wine is not weak.
"Good wine!"
Su Chen thought that fruit wine was only suitable for women to drink, but at this time, he couldn't help but praise it, the taste was so beautiful that everything else could be ignored.
"This wine is made from six kinds of fresh fruits, including pomegranates, grapes, oranges, mountain residues, green plums and pineapples, after fruit selection, washing, water bleaching, crushing, abandoning the core, maceration, juice extraction, fermentation, comparison, filtration, and mellowing processes, and then put into wooden barrels and buried for three years to age, it tastes good!"
Seeing that Su Chen was drinking happily, Lu Miaozi also smiled, and a hint of smug flashed on her face.
"After all these years of hiding, lonely and cold, no one to talk to him, and only a little thing left to show off to strangers?"
A trace of pity flashed in Su Chen's eyes, and he looked at Lu Miaozi's eyebrows, and made a decision in his heart.
smiled at the moment: "One glass is not enough, such a beautiful wine, you should drink three glasses!"
Lu Miaozi didn't care about Su Chen's out-of-line behavior, and immediately poured two cups again, and his face became softer.
"Don't say three cups, even if it's three altars, it's okay, if you came a few years earlier, there are thirty altars, but it's a pity that over the years, the old man has relied on these six fruit brews to suppress his injuries, and he is a little frustrated, and he didn't brew, and now there are only the last three altars left. ”
Su Chen's eyes followed to the corner of the room, smiled slightly, drank the two glasses of wine in one go, and said solemnly: "Do you have any regrets with your predecessors? If I say that you are not injured at all and can live for decades, what are your plans?"
Lu Miaozi breathed tightly, her face changed, and then she smiled: "Qiu Guan, don't make the old man happy, although you haven't seen me all these years, I have watched you grow up, the old man is known as the world's first skillful hand, but he is not only good at mechanical skills, but when he was young, he also dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, medicine and astrology...... Although I don't learn the art of medicine very well, I am a little better than your master. ”
The [Master] he said was naturally the old doctor of the Heavenly Doctor Hall, the one who went up the mountain to collect medicine and was killed.
The old man was lifeless, and he didn't forget to compete with others, which meant that he didn't believe that Su Chen's medical skills were stronger than his own, and he didn't believe that he was unharmed.
He has been deeply injured and tortured for so many years, and he knows his physical condition better than anyone else, how can people change their views with a few casual words.
Su Chen laughed out loud: "Senior, don't worry, I don't look down on your medical skills, but this time it's really wrong, haven't you ever suspected it?" The heart and lungs are damaged, and the injury is not too serious, just a little yin qi enters the body, how can it last for so many years, and recur dozens or hundreds of times?"
"Can you tell?"
Lu Miaozi's face changed greatly.
In the sparse forest not far from the door, Shang Xiuxun was also shocked.
She looked up at the sky, her face was very complicated, but she was secretly relieved.
