Chapter 227: Mysterious Old Man
“……”
When Lorraine heard the old man's words, she did not have the slightest joy of being praised, but groaned.
Although his fist was held by the other party, he could feel that this old man should have no malicious intent, otherwise, with the skills of this old man in cloth, he would have died at least five or six times in the moment just now!
"What did you do to my classmates?" After a long silence, Lorraine finally spoke, and her eyes tried to meet the old man's eyes, but they seemed to be looking at an ocean.
This feeling is different from the general gaze, if the other party's eyes belong to the sharp type, the difference in strength will make the weak dare not face the strong. But...... The old man's eyes never had any mood fluctuations, but a smile appeared on his slightly old face.
"You don't have to worry, I have no ill will towards your classmates, including you." At this time, the old man slowly let go of Lorraine's palm, and passed by Lorraine calmly, at this time, Lorraine found that the old man was carrying a basket in his other hand, and he didn't know what it contained.
At this time, the old man turned his back to Lorraine, and if Lorraine wanted to kill him, it would be more convenient.
But he didn't do that, if the old man in front of him was a python-level figure that Lorraine had encountered, then he would dare to let go of his hand and fight, believing that with his current internal attainments, coupled with his physique that had been exercised for a period of time, he would be able to succeed.
But the old man in front of him, Lorraine didn't have the slightest certainty.
Lorraine knew very well that the difference in strength between himself and this old man could not be measured! The fact that this old man was so relieved to expose his back in front of Lorraine's eyes was enough to show that he did not think that Lorraine was a threat at all.
After a short entanglement in his heart, Lorraine finally decided to give up, although the old man said that he had no ill will towards himself and Kang Mengmeng, but Lorraine is a cautious person, and he will not trust others until he is completely safe, so although he gave up the frontal conflict at this time, he is still vigilant at all times in his heart.
"This old gentleman, I am this girl's classmate." At this time, Lorraine pointed to Kang Mengmeng, who was lying on the straw mat and was asleep, "We are freshmen at Jinghua University, yesterday because of the camping project, we came to the woods at the foot of Yan Mountain to camp, she disappeared last night, and now the entire military training team is looking for her, since I found her, I want to take her back, I hope the old gentleman will not stop me." ”
With that, Lorraine walked towards Kang Mengmeng again.
At this moment the old man spread out another straw mat, sat on it, and then took out a small casserole from the basket, poured some water into it with a bag kettle, and then put in some unnamed plants into it, swayed it a little, and put it on the bonfire, and boiled slowly.
"Young man, I have already said, don't touch this girl, the venom from her wound has not been completely cleared, and she needs to boil the potion of my external application to draw out the last venom near the wound for her before she can move her body." The old man said lightly at this time, boiling the herbs calmly, and looked very leisurely taking out a small fan from the basket and fanning it slightly towards the bonfire.
Lorraine paused slightly when he heard the words of the old man in cloth, but he didn't believe it too much in his heart, maybe ...... Is this old man procrastinating for time? But it's also unlikely, what good is it for him to stall for time? If he wanted to solve me, he would have done it a long time ago, so why bother?
Thinking about it, he lowered his head and looked at the dark purple blood faintly protruding from Kang Mengmeng's bandaged wound, it was indeed like it was poisoned, and then looked at Kang Mengmeng's slightly purple lips, it was not optimistic, even if it was brought back to the base camp like this, it might not be able to get timely treatment, and what if what the old man in cloth said was true? In that case, wouldn't Lorraine become the murderer of Kang Mengmeng?
Anyway, at the moment, this old man doesn't look like the kind of person with evil intentions, although the origin is unknown, Lorraine has no other choice.
After hesitating for a moment, Lorraine simply sat on the ground, ready to chat with the old man, to see if he could ask some things about the other party from his words.
"What shall I call you, old gentleman?" Lorraine's attitude softened a little at this time, and the hostility in his eyes gradually faded.
The old man in cloth clothes still looked like he was smiling and loving, looking harmless to humans and animals, and said lightly: "If you don't bring it in life, you don't bring it in death, the name is just a code name for the life of Weimo, you and I are also in Pingshui, what if you know the name?" You keep calling me sir, so keep calling me sir. ”
Hearing these words, Lorraine felt a slight pause in his heart: this old man has a very good mentality, as if he has seen through the red dust. Such a person shouldn't have any obscene thoughts, right? Even if he had, his strength and realm should not be tempting for students like us.
With this in mind, Lorraine asked vigilantly again: "Old man, how long will it take for the external dressing you are boiling?" Because everyone was in a hurry to look for it, so ......" While speaking, Lorraine also looked around, I don't know why, this wood, it feels different from the woods outside before, here, he has no sense of direction at all, although he has only walked thirty or forty meters underground, but it feels as if he has reached another area.
This may be his delusion, but no matter what, now that Kang Mengmeng is here, Lorraine can't leave on his own.
"Soon, be patient." The old man seemed to have seen through Lorraine's thoughts, as if he wanted Lorraine to relax, so he chatted with him, "Look at your temperament...... You should have a set of your own way of exercising your inner atmosphere, right? Well, it's very peculiar, if you are given enough time, maybe you can become a master in the Huaxia Kingdom art world before you are 30 years old. If it were me in the past, I might consider taking you as my apprentice and teaching you some skills. But...... I like this life now. …… Despite this, I can still point out a few words to you, although your current method of cultivating both inside and outside has improved rapidly, there are still some drawbacks. ”
"Cons?" Lorraine was stunned at this time, he was still more interested in these topics.
"Hmm." The old man nodded slowly, "If what I conclude is not wrong, your outer kung fu belongs to a layman, and your inner kung fu should have practiced two kinds, right?" One is Tai Chi, and the other is a bit of a violent and eccentric internal strength, which is not good. ”
"Huh??"
Lorraine was even more shocked when she heard this!
Good eyesight!!
This old man's insight is really not covered! Even if you are able to determine the means and types of exercises you are practicing, you can determine the means and techniques you are cultivating!
The old man continued: "Taijiquan is a technique that pays attention to the harmony of yin and yang, pays attention to the naturalness, follows the natural trend, borrows the heavenly potential, and uses the combination of rigidity and softness to move the world and use strength to fight. In other words, it is more like a medium, even in the midst of the enemy, it is to return the opponent's attack to the opponent through its own movement. Therefore, it needs to be gentle enough to keep up with all changes. And your other strange internal strength, too violent, too excessive, but unable to control it well, contrary to your Tai Chi skills. …… Later you will know that a gentle method is far more effective and powerful than a strong wrist. This principle is also true between your real society and competitors in various industries. ”
Lorraine frowned at the old man's words, and thought hard about it.
I have to say that these words are very reasonable, and soft means are far more effective and powerful than strong wrists?
Lorraine remembered his usual style, which was indeed too aggressive, especially when Zhengzhou City was fighting against Na Chi Shi and Qian Hu, under his hands, he had also wasted the hands and feet of many people, and the means were called tough and ruthless.
Gentle means?
This point is more suitable for commercial competition, for example, if you charge the four giants in the future, you can't be hard-hitting, know how to follow the natural trend, and then borrow the natural momentum to play Tai Chi, maybe you can achieve twice the result with half the effort?
These truths are enough for Lorraine to digest for a while.
"......" was silent for a long time, and Lorraine said to the old man very seriously, "Old man, I have benefited a lot from your words, thank you." ”
"Hehe, don't thank me, although you and I met in Pingshui, but it can be regarded as fate, I didn't expect my old man to walk the world alone, looking for some medicinal materials, and he was able to save a life by chance, and I also saw you such an interesting young man." The old man smiled.
"Looking for medicinal herbs?" Lorraine was surprised.
"You just climbed up from that hole, didn't you? Have you seen those wet reishi? This kind of medicinal herb is hard to find...... Unexpectedly, I was asked to find it at the foot of this Yan Mountain. The old man shook his head with a smile.
Lorraine recalled the strangely shaped Ganoderma lucidum she saw underground, which was probably the strange medicinal herb in the old man's mouth, and after a pause, he asked, "Then old man, why didn't you pick all those Ganoderma lucidum?" ”
"Greed for more chewing, cutting grass and roots, cutting off vitality, it is against the way of heaven, this kind of foolish thing, I used to do too much, now I have converged my heart, I have seen through life, I don't want to do it anymore......" The old man sighed, then stood up and walked towards Kang Mengmeng, and then applied the boiled medicine to the wound on Kang Mengmeng's ankle that was bitten by a poisonous snake, while treating the wound for Kang Mengmeng, he said slowly to Lorraine, "Young man, have you heard of our Huaxia Kingdom's 'Tianyan Organization'?" ”
