Chapter 56: Old Things
But why didn't he take the initiative to call himself out, but used this method to help himself silently?
"What do you call an old man?" Although Wang Ruhua had a lot of questions, she also felt that this old man had no ill will towards her, so she also took the initiative to show goodwill. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The old man looked into the distance, as if he was trying very hard to search for memories, and finally shook his head and smiled faintly: "After so many years in this valley, I have long forgotten my name, only her name...... Doll, you just call me an old man! ”
Remember her name? Could it be that the woman in the cave is being imprisoned?
"Old ...... Grandfather. Wang Ruhua felt that it was rude to call someone else's old man, so she took care of it and changed the word.
"Am I that old? Call me old man! The old man, with a straight face, looked like he was pretending to teach a child.
"Old man......" Wang Ruhua was speechless, perhaps in his cognition, it was a cordial meaning.
"Doll, how did you get into this valley?" The old man retracted his serious face and looked at Wang Ruhua with great interest, as if he was preparing to listen to a wonderful story. Perhaps, staying in this valley for too long, anything in the outside world is wonderful.
Wang Ruhua fulfilled the old man's wish, portrayed himself as an ordinary disciple of immortal cultivation, and made up a wonderful story for him with twists and turns.
The old man nodded in affirmation: "You are really lucky, you have such a bizarre experience, you can publish a novel." But as I expected, you're just a weak little monk, at most the third or fourth level of the beginner level, and your strength is not ordinarily bad. ”
Wang Ruhua was speechless, isn't this all to cater to his desire to listen to stories, why is he inexplicably despised?
Forget it, it's not the point how many levels you have, it's the point to make this old man laugh and get yourself out of the maze.
"Then who set up this maze? What is Bulai for? ”
The old man pointed to himself: "Prevent people from coming in, and prevent people from leaving." ”
Sure enough, it was him!
Seeing Wang Ruhua's sudden vigilant appearance, the old man explained with a smile: "It's not to prevent you from leaving, can I take you out tomorrow morning?" ”
Wang Ruhua nodded positively and nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice.
After talking for a while, Wang Ruhua gradually got acquainted with the old man: "Old man, since you know that I am here, why did you pretend not to know before?" ”
"Didn't you start avoiding me?" The old man said that Wang Ruhua was speechless, "If I forcibly identify you, you will definitely run away, right?" It's better to let you observe for yourself and slowly find out that I'm a good person. ”
It also makes sense to say, Wang Ruhua just faced the old man, and she was very vigilant, and when she saw the old man imprisoning a young girl, she felt that he was a pervert, and if she confronted each other head-on at that time, it was inevitable that she would not clash head-on.
No, what's the matter with that girl? Wang Ruhua just came into contact with the old man and felt that this person was not bad, so she relaxed her vigilance and almost ignored the girl's affairs.
The old man seemed to see through Wang Ruhua's thoughts, got up and motioned for Wang Ruhua to follow him to stand five or six meters in front of the cave, and he stepped forward and began to unload the rattan at the entrance of the cave.
With a sharp cry of "whoosh", the woman from yesterday pounced on the old man again, wanting to give the old man a fatal blow by surprise.
The old man calmly resisted and retreated to Wang Ruhua's side, at this time the distance was just the place where the woman could not catch the two, but they could be the closest to the woman.
Does this old man count this position so accurately?
"This is my daughter-in-law." The old man looked at the woman in front of him with a hideous face and dancing hands to pounce, his eyes lit up, as if he was looking at something extremely precious, "She's beautiful, isn't she?" ”
There was a strong sense of pride in his tone.
Wang Ruhua thought to herself, this appearance of teeth and claws, even a peerless beauty can't see how good-looking, but looking at the old man's appreciative expression, she had to say: "Well, it's very good-looking." How old is your daughter-in-law, so young? ”
"I'm the same age." The old man smiled and went to get the grilled fish, then walked up to Wang Ruhua, and added, "To be exact, this is what she looked like when she was young." ”
Wang Ruhua looked sideways at the old man who was resisting the woman's attack and feeding the woman fish at the same time, guessing that there must be something wrong with the two of them.
"Why doesn't she get old?"
After the old man fed the fish, he clapped his hands and put the woman back into the hole, and then repaired the hole with the rattan on the cuffs, before returning to Wang Ruhua's side, sighing, as if he had made a lot of courage: "I got it in exchange for becoming crazy and becoming a demon." ”
Wang Ruhua's heart chuckled, a woman cares so much about her appearance, would she rather lose her mind?
Seeing Wang Ruhua's surprised appearance, the old man was afraid that Wang Ruhua would misunderstand, and added: "She is not wrong, it is all ...... Because I. ”
The old man looked at the hole that sealed Xiaomei and fell into memory.
"Xiaomei and I were originally in love, but unfortunately my talent was too high, and when I had reached the intermediate level, Xiaomei was still at the second level of the beginner level. At that time, the sect urgently needed to cultivate to be a strong person, so the sect did not agree with me and Xiaomei to be together, saying that it was not conducive to the improvement of my level, and that I had to marry a disciple of the same level. ”
When the old man said this, his expression became very solemn: "Others tell me that Xiaomei's appearance and cultivation are not as good as that woman, but in my heart, Xiaomei is the most beautiful." However, the master's persuasion and the coercion and temptation of the sect made me unable to make up my mind, and after hesitating again and again, it was still the wedding date.
I persuaded Xiaomei to forget about me, but she couldn't help it, and she wanted to prove it to everyone, so she listened to the mysterious jade slip in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know where to get a jade slip. Legend has it that Jade Jane can give people endless energy, but it also comes at a terrible price to own. In the end, Xiaomei's appearance is indeed growing in reverse, and her cultivation has also improved by leaps and bounds, and in a short period of time, she is at the same level as me at that time. But Xiaomei also paid a heavy price for this......"
There is no need for the old man to say what happened later, presumably the heavy price is to become crazy and become a demon.
"So, you're here to accompany her?"
The old man nodded: "The higher her rank, the more she loses her consciousness and harms others everywhere, and the sect will execute her." Xiaomei became what she is today because of me, how can I watch her die like this? Therefore, I betrayed my master and took her to live in seclusion here. ”
However, Wang Ruhua still has a question.
"After Xiaomei used Jade Jane, her strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and she will definitely be able to surpass you in time, right? But after so many years, how did you prevent Xiaomei from surpassing you? ”
The old man smiled helplessly: "No way, I have to use the same method as Xiaomei!" ”
Wang Ruhua suddenly realized. It seems that the old man also found a jade slip, so that he could quickly become stronger to control Xiaomei, who became a demon day by day. That jade slip is estimated to be the treasure found by Qiuqiu.
However, what heavy price did the old man pay after using the jade slip?
