Chapter 113: An Out-of-World Master!
"You're going to Peach Blossom Village, right?" The white-haired old man looked us up and down and asked.
"Senior ......," before I could speak, Mo Lu on the side asked, "We are just going to Peach Blossom Village, but we are not competing for the position of village chief, we just want to help our friends complete three things, so please ask our seniors for advice!" β
With Mo Lu's character, he never cared who called him a senior, but he actually called the white-haired old man in front of him a senior, and he still looked humble, this old man's identity was strange. I continued to look at the white-haired old man.
"Three things?" The white-haired old man ignored the way I looked at him, and looked at Mo Lu with interest.
"Yes," Mo Lu continued, "we just met a girl on the road, the girl's village was infected with a stubborn disease, and only the girl was left alive, but her body had been destroyed, in order to help her recover her body, we promised her to do three things for her, and after the three things were completed, she would recover her body, and these three things had to be solved in Peach Blossom Village, so we had to come to this Peach Blossom Village." β
The white-haired old man didn't ask what the three things were, but smiled kindly, turned back to the hut, and just as we were surprised, he turned around and walked out, and there was one more thing in his handβa willow branch.
The white-haired old man handed me the willow branch, "This willow branch will make you unhindered all the way, you will grow handsome after this, but your body is very thin, if you can practice diligently in the future, you will definitely be a good seedling to practice martial arts!" β
I took the willow branch, looked at the white-haired old man in front of me, and said stubbornly: "I'm going to take the top prize, I'm not interested in the things on the rivers and lakes......!" β
"Hehehehehe......!" The white-haired old man smiled at me, "Didn't anyone tell you that if you live in a temple, you will worry about the people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about the king?" β
I listened to his words, carefully recalled, this is the second time I have heard these two sentences in this time and space, these two sentences I will memorize when I was in junior high school, but the meaning contained in them is still not very understood, there are many ways to live, a person can just work hard for the life he wants, or he can work hard for the heavy responsibility of the world, fish and bear paws can not have both, since you can choose one of the two, why not choose to fight for the life you want?
The white-haired old man ignored my musings and continued: "Childe, I know that you are not an ordinary person, but you have also experienced ups and downs along the way, this willow branch is the key to enter the village, if someone asks, just say that it was given by the old man Bai who lives in the grass hut next to the pond!" β
"Senpai......!" I want to say more.
The white-haired old man raised his hand in real time to stop my words, and turned his eyes to look at Mo Lu and Wang Wu, "You two are really rare, one can give up forging swords for love, and the other can stop being a thief and change his ways, to put it mildly, this son can be regarded as doing a good thing!" He turned his head to look at me.
Then the white-haired old man walked up to Situ Hong again, "This girl is so familiar, it seems that I have seen the old man somewhere before!" β
"Senior," Situ Hong's voice muttered, "The little girl came to this Peach Blossom Village when she was a child, just to see a doctor......!" β
"Oh, I remember, it turned out to be the little girl of the Situ family, I haven't seen it grow so big for a long time!" The white-haired old man smiled, raised his hand and gently twisted his beard, turned his head and glanced at me and continued: "You marry this son, that can be regarded as the will of heaven in the dark, although you will experience a lot of ups and downs on the road in the future, but in the end, you will also see the light of day, and the bitterness will come!" β
I looked at the weird old man in front of me, but I didn't expect him to know that Situ Hong had even been to Peach Blossom Village when he was a child, who was he? East and West, is it an old fortune teller?
The white-haired old man seemed to know what I was thinking, and turned his head to look at me, "Childe, have you encountered any difficulties on the way here?" β
"Difficult?" I thought about it for a moment and said, "I have encountered a lot of difficulties along the way, and the most troublesome thing is that there is a person named 'Wolf Eyes' who has been sending people to hunt us down. β
"Hehehehe......," the white-haired old man smiled kindly, "Wolf Eyes, this kid has been naughty since he was a child, and he will definitely find some trouble with you on the way, which is reasonable, but he is not a casual person, there must be something on your body to attract him!" β
"It's this Biran knife!" I reached out and took the Bi Burn knife out of my arms.
"Six-star Lingzhi?" The white-haired old man looked at the steel knife in my hand, and his face suddenly showed a bit of surprise, "I didn't expect this ancient artifact to be in your hands!" β
"My master gave it to me!"
"Your master?"
"It's the nine-fingered god beggar Hong Qi."
The white-haired old man smiled: "Ha Lu Ha ......, I didn't expect that I haven't seen him for a few years, this old man Hong will actually accept apprentices!" β
What's going on? Does this old man know my master?
The white-haired old man ignored the doubts in my heart, raised his hand and pointed to a path by the pond that winded into the trees, "You follow this path all the way, and you will walk about five miles to the Peach Blossom Village, but this five miles is not a short road!" With that, he turned around and staggered back to his hut, ignoring us again.
I glanced at the back of the white-haired old man, and suddenly saw a couplet at the door of the thatched house: the upper couplet is 'a pot of turbid wine and a person drinks alone to the moon', and the lower couplet is 'half a cup of residual tea welcomes the flowers and the guest blooms spontaneously', good literary and elegant!
What a quirky old man! This is my most sassy assessment of this white-haired old man.
The four of us followed the white-haired old man's instructions and walked all the way along the path by the pond, where we passed was unusually calm, there was nothing wrong, I asked Situ Hong as I walked, "Wife, have you seen this white-haired old man before?" β
"I've seen it!" Situ Hong's voice was very small.
"What does he do?"
"An outsider master!"
"Out-of-the-world masters? Listening to the tone, he seems to be very familiar with the wolf's eyes, and he calls the wolf's eyes a child. β
"Hmm!" Situ Hong was obviously thinking about things.
I glanced at him, turned my head and asked Mo Lu, "Senior Mo, how did you know that he was a master just now?" β
"Feel!"
Okay, okay, it's a feeling again, I wondered, why do you people feel so much? Why don't I have one?
I played with the willow branch in my hand, the willow branch in my hand is only the length of a palm, the thickness is only half the size of a little finger, the willow branch is not very straight, the place near the end is slightly crooked, a few small fluffy hairballs emerge from the pale greenish yellow branches, it is the time for the willow branch to accumulate leaves and draw branches, and look at this willow branch also seems to be folded off the tree casually, is this thing useful? I'm a little confused! But one word suddenly came to mind: Zhegui!
The five-mile road was very short, but we had only walked about the rest of the way, and in the distance we saw two very thick stone pillars standing there straight into the clouds, as if they were two giants guarding something. I looked at the stone pillar and asked Situ Hong, "Wife, you also had this stone pillar when you came here before?" β
Situ Hong shook his head, "I don't remember!" β
I nodded, if it were me, I wouldn't remember, and even if you asked me what I had for breakfast yesterday morning, I'm afraid I wouldn't remember, huh? What did you eat yesterday morning to get here?
The four of us walked slowly to the stone pillar, stood and looked at the two huge guys in front of us, the thickness of the two stone pillars is definitely not comparable with both arms, it is estimated that even if the four of us hold hands, we can't surround it, let alone the height, I looked up at the stone pillar that was already like a cloud, and I was wondering in my heart, can such two big guys stand up with manpower?
"Bi Gongzi, look at ......!" Just as I was looking intently at the stone pillar, Wang Wu shouted from the side.
What to shout, it's the same as a countryman who has never seen the world! I gave him a hard look, followed his fingers, and I said, what is this?
I saw a thick square stone bar in mid-air out of thin air not far from us in front of us, there was nothing at both ends of the stone bar to support, just so quietly suspended in mid-air, the size of the stone bar can be more than ten meters long and more than two meters high, and there are three big characters written on it - Peach Blossom Village!
