Chapter 247: The Crazy Old Man (Part II)
"You're a madman. As soon as the word madman came out, Chu Yuan shook himself, as if a tendon was gently touched by an invisible hand, and thoughts flew in his mind for a while. It was all vague fragments, and he tried to grasp some of them, but he couldn't.
"Crazy?" laughed ...... old man, "I'm not a madman, I'm a drunkard at most." β
Chu Yuan glanced up at him, he was interrupted by this old man just now, all his thoughts receded like a tide, and he could no longer find the slightest trace of what they had ever had. At this moment, he seemed to want to www.biquge.info in the Fun Pavilion, but he couldn't think of anything.
"Well, boy, say it. How are you going to pay for my wine?"
Chu Yuan turned his head slightly and asked, "What do you want?"
"I don't want to do anything. The old man lazily plucked his ears with one hand, spread out the other and said, "Either pay me for the wine, or tell me who you learned your kung fu from?"
Chu Yuan looked at him half-squinted for a moment, then patted his pocket lightly and said, "No money." Then he pointed to his head and said, "I don't remember." β
"Don't remember?" the old man sneered: "This year is really not as good as the generation, and I don't even remember my own master." Have you forgotten who your parents were?"
"Parents?" Chu Yuan thought for a while and shook his head, "I'm not impressed." β
"Damn, boy, you're kidding me, aren't you?"
Chu Yuan said lightly: "I'm not kidding. β
"You have a kind. The old man turned to him again and asked, "How is your left eye blind?"
Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Can you see it?"
"Nonsense. Those two pieces of black glass of yours can only bluff ordinary people. β
Chu Yuan shook his head again and said, "I don't remember." β
"Damn!" cried the old man, "are you out of the blue?"
"Why should I remember?"
The "......" fallacy, the absolute fallacy. But the old man couldn't answer. What does it matter to him when people are blind? People don't like to remember, so what is he doing to make a fuss?
Suddenly, the old man stretched out a thumb and smiled: "You have a kind." β
Chu Yuan asked lightly, "Can I go?"
"No, I can't. The old man tilted his neck and shook his head, saying, "You have to compensate me first." After a pause, he added, "Boy, don't bother, you can't beat me." β
Chu Yuan, who was secretly lucky, slowly loosened his strength when he heard this, indeed. He is no match for the old man. And he only used a little skill before the other party noticed it, and this kind of person can only be described as terrifying.
Chu Yuan asked, "What do you want?"
The old man smiled proudly: "It's very simple......"
At this moment, Chu Yuan suddenly punched him in the face. The old man shouted, "Sneak attack again!" After all, he still raised his hand seemingly freehand to lightly dismiss the attack.
Chu Yuan's second punch followed, and the old man shook his head and said, "Don't bother with it." As soon as the words came out, he felt that something was wrong, because Chu Yuan's punch actually implied a cold energy.
The old man's face changed slightly, and he finally put away his playful expression. Raised his hand to resist with a straight face.
Fists collide with palms, making a crisp sound. Chu Yuan staggered back a few steps, and although the old man didn't even shake it, his face was full of surprise. He looked down at his palm, which was covered with a thin layer of frost.
"And so it was. The old man breathed a sigh of relief, grasped it with his hand, and the frost on it immediately turned into droplets of water dripping down his fingers. He said, "I was not mistaken. You really have powers. β
Chu Yuan didn't continue to attack after this punch, and he also looked at his hand with some surprise. He was originally lucky with the punch just now, but somehow suddenly there seemed to be another energy surging into the fist in his body. With this punch thrown. Chu Yuan clearly knew that this was not his own internal strength, but what was it? He never knew that there was another energy in his body.
"Boy. The old man interrupted Chu Yuan's thoughts and asked, "When did your ability appear?"
Chu Yuan looked up at him: "What is the ability?"
The old man opened his mouth and said, "Don't make trouble, you must have practiced this kind of Cheng dΓΉ ability for a long time, you don't know how you can achieve this kind of Cheng dΓΉ if you have an ability?"
Chu Yuan thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't remember." β
"Damn!" the old man cursed. He shook his hand and said, "If I hadn't reacted quickly just now, this hand would have been abolished by you a long time ago." You're embarrassed to pretend to be crazy and stupid with me?"
"I didn't pretend. I really don't know. β
The old man squinted at him for a long time and asked, "Are you...... The brain......"
"Amnesia. Chu Yuan said lightly: "I don't remember anything." β
The old man had the same expression. Then he nodded, "No wonder." There was a pause. He pretended to be mysterious and asked, "Boy, do you want to learn how to cultivate abilities?"
"What is an ability?"
"Ability...... Uh...... "The old man scratched his head, which had not been washed for a long time, and was knotted into pieces. Said: "This kind of thing can only be understood but not spoken." Roughly speaking, it means that the supernatural person is born with a special ability to borrow the elements of nature. β
"Borrow?"
"Yes, it's borrowing. It can be said that the Adeptus is a kind of bridge between man and nature," the old man asked, "You should know about the dam, right?"
Chu Yuan nodded.
"Actually, the body of the supernatural is like a dam, which can store water in normal times. As for the amount of water stored, it depends on one's own cultivation. When it's time to use it, the human body is like a dam that opens the floodgates and borrows the energy inside. Do you understand that?"
Chu Yuan nodded.
The old man continued: "Abilities, like martial artists, are not born powerful, and if you want to wield the most power, you have to rely on hard practice. However, the ability has a talent that the warrior can't have, so it's relatively more powerful, but it also varies from person to person, and if you want to expand the ability, that is, like a dam, you usually store more water, in addition to relying on your own efforts, you also have to practice the right way, otherwise it's half the effort. Well, there are a lot of elements in terms of abilities, like the electric ability that uses lightning, the water ability that uses water, the fire ability, the wood, the earth, the metal, and so on. Oh yes, and you, you're an ice ability. The abilities of each ability are different, just like your ice system, your punch just now had ice energy, and you also saw my hand, and you almost froze into ice cubes when you punched me. β
Chu Yuan listened quietly and did not interject, in fact, he was also very curious. It's the first time he's heard of this kind of ability, and he's really experienced it firsthand. Therefore, Chu Yuan also became extremely interested in something that had never been heard of before.
The old man continued: "The number of supernatural beings is very small, and it is rare to produce one or two people out of 100 million people, and not everyone can awaken. If a person doesn't know that he is born with an ability, and the ability has not awakened, he may only be an ordinary person for the rest of his life. β
Chu Yuan asked, "How do you wake up?"
"It's hard to say. Some people wake up on their own, and when they wake up from sleep, they suddenly have abilities, but this kind of person is a minority after all. There are also stimuli, such as extreme anger or grief, and there is also a chance to stimulate potential abilities. There are also people who use the power of nature, for example, ordinary people are struck by lightning and immediately die, but people born with electric abilities not only do not die, but are likely to be stimulated by the abilities in their bodies. β
"What about me?"
The old man smiled bitterly: "Even you don't know about yourself, how can I know." β
Chu Yuan asked lightly, "You have been pestering me because I have special abilities?"
The old man nodded, "I noticed you yesterday, but I'm not sure yet." β
"So you're going to test me?"
The old man pursed his lips and acquiesced.
Chu Yuan said: "If you want to be tempted, you can challenge it directly, why bother doing so many things." β
"Haha!" the old man laughed, "Don't you think it's fun?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Alright, let's stop playing. The old man shook his hand, and then said with a straight face: "Boy, do you want to show your abilities?"
Chu Yuan squinted his eyes and asked, "Who are you?"
The old man smiled faintly, reversed the crazy look just now, and said: "Dragon Country Dragon Soul Ability Group, deputy leader, water system ability, drunkard." β
As if to prove his identity, this old man called a drunkard raised his right hand. Suddenly, a little bit of starlight flew from all directions, gathering above his right palm. Look closely, these stars turned out to be water droplets. Because it reflects the light of the street lamp above, it looks a little reflective. Soon, the water droplets gathered more and more, and in less than a second, a palm-sized ball of water floated in the void above the drunkard's palm.
The water balloon just hovered above the palm of his hand, constantly spinning automatically, looking very weird.
Chu Yuan's face didn't show the slightest surprise, and he asked lightly, "This is the ability?"
"To be precise, it's a kind of water-gathering ability in the water system. It's useless, it's just convenient when you're thirsty. The drunkard smiled. He opened his mouth wide and swallowed the balloon, and then said with relish: "Well, it's better to drink directly purified water." β
ββ¦β¦ You learned the ability just to drink water?"
"Bah!" the old man scolded angrily, "Stinky boy, don't underestimate my abilities. If it really starts, ten of you won't be enough for me to watch. β
Chu Yuan tilted his head sideways and said, "It seems that you are using martial arts to fight me. β
"Martial arts are martial arts, but they are also a little different from those traditional martial arts of the Dragon Kingdom. Not. We Adepts have our own system, as you'll find out later. How's that boy?" the drunkard raised his chin at him and asked, "Would you like to learn abilities from me?"
Chu Yuan didn't answer and asked, "You just said the dragon soul?"
The drunkard finally said with some surprise: "Don't you even know about the Dragon Soul, do you?" The Dragon Soul is a secret organization in the Dragon Kingdom, and it is not subject to any department, and it cannot be made public. Although many people know the existence of the dragon soul, it is limited to some beliefs that have a status in the dragon country. If you are an ordinary person, you have never even heard the word dragon soul. It's like the Four Great Families, although the Four Great Families are famous in the capital, but they are limited to the capital and its vicinity, and other regions may not have heard of it.
"I think I've heard of it. Chu Yuan touched his forehead and said, "But I don't know where I've heard it." "The nomadic god hits by hand.
"Well, that's okay. The drunkard comforted, "If you join us and need to, we can apply to help you recover your memory." β
"Memories can also be restored?"
The drunkard pouted and said, "There are many things you don't know in this world." β
Chu Yuan asked again, "What is a dragon soul?"
"Dragon Soul is a special organization of our Dragon Country. There are many different groups, all of which are made up of the most elite members of the country. There are martial arts groups gathered by martial artists, and there are also special ability groups like ours, which are dedicated to collecting domestic supernatural people and then cultivating ......"
Chu Yuan interrupted loudly: "It's like you're looking for me?"
The drunkard smiled and said, "It's just an accident, I'm originally from Wencheng, and I'm coming back to visit my relatives this time." Yesterday I saw that you had an ability fluctuation on the road, and I deliberately looked for you today. Well, I'm not usually responsible for recruiting newcomers, but it's rare for me to meet them, and of course I can't let them go. After a pause, he continued: "Our Dragon Soul has cultivated a large number of talents...... It should be a genius, that is, to play for the country. Don't worry, we don't have anything to do at all, just get a salary every month, unless there is a special task that ordinary people can't solve, otherwise we can't use our dragon soul. β
