Chapter 31: The Scholar Grows Old
Lu Yunzhi lay on the back of the horse, groggy and fell asleep, he was too tired, before he used the secret technique of Zhongzheng Yimai for Yingzi to continue his life, and now he has not healed and fought again, and after treating Yingzi, he has traveled for dozens of miles, and his body finally can't support it.
A burst of rough breath kept spraying on his face, and from time to time there was a wet tongue licking Lu Yunzhi's face, Lu Yunzhi opened his eyes and looked around, the horse kept licking himself, and the reins of the horse had long been gone. Lu Yunzhi got up, around him not only his own mount, but also around a circle of young women who went to wash with a big basin in their hands, it turned out that he fainted and fell by this stream, and the horses did not abandon him, until this group of young women came and saw Lu Yunzhi fall to the ground, so the young women untied the reins of the horses and watched Lu Yunzhi, and after a while, Lu Yunzhi woke up.
Lu Yunzhi was dressed neatly, and he smiled at the young women around him, but before he could speak, he saw that those women all bowed their heads, and looked at Lu Yunzhi with shame and embarrassment. Lu Yunzhi didn't speak, and walked to the stream to wash his face. The clear stream water reflected Lu Yunzhi's appearance like a mirror.
Lu Yunzhi looked down at himself in the water, only to see that the edges and corners of his face were clear, without the immaturity of a teenager, the beard that was not thick after a night's work gradually revealed a thick stubble on his chin, and the clear eyes looked up a little muddy, and they still remained unchanged as if they were a pair of beautiful sword eyebrows, but they still looked much thicker. Lu Yunzhi picked up the clear stream, stroked his cheeks, and then pulled up his hair to see that he was already full of hair. Lu Yunzhi sighed and smiled bitterly.
Behind Lu Yunzhi, a young woman said with a shy face: "How old do you see this man?" The other person was also full of peach blossoms: "There are thirty-seven or eighteen up and down, you see his hair is gray, but his face is so handsome, but he is very manly and not like that kind of sissy at all, but with a hint of bookish air on his body, and riding a tall horse, he must not be an ordinary family, I really want to marry him." This unintentional remark caused the young women around to laugh, and they all laughed at the woman's shamelessness.
Lu Yunzhi wiped his face with his cuffs, then stood up and arched his hand at the group of young women and said, "Sisters-in-law, I was bothered just now. The women were still muttering to each other and ridiculing each other just now, but now they all blushed and lowered their heads. Lu Yunzhi took the reins of the horse in the hands of a young woman, brought the horse and then turned over on the horse, and shouted: "Thank you, sister-in-law Lu." As he spoke, he waved his whip and walked away.
On horseback, Lu Yunzhi suddenly thought of a voice in his ear: "Lu Yunzhi, are you crazy that you kid actually exchanged your yang shou for Yingzi's life." Do you know? If you die, I will be scattered, and I will really obey you. Lu Yunzhi said in a low voice: "Where is there so much nonsense, nightmare, my own life is up to me, I don't have to say much about you." "The dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know the hearts of good people." Nightmare said in a changing voice, then fell silent again, and stopped talking. The nightmare survived in Lu Yunzhi's body, and after the seal of Guyuan's soul was unsealed, it could talk to Lu Yunzhi without going through the dream, and Lu Yunzhi was upset all the way, but he didn't expect the nightmare to be chattering all the time, and he couldn't help but have a headache.
Lu Yunzhi ran to a tavern and restrained his horse, what he wanted most at the moment was to get drunk, he walked into the store and greeted loudly: "Boss." "This is a tavern with only five or six tables, and the proprietor is the cook, and the proprietress is both the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper, and she is slowly coming over at this moment. Horses are not bought by ordinary people, just now the proprietress didn't see Lu Yunzhi coming on horseback, and looked at his dusty appearance, so she thought he was a poor ghost, so she ignored it.
As the proprietress expected, Lu Yunzhi really had no money: "The proprietress is in a hurry to go out, and there is no silver tael on her." "Lu Yunzhi never brings money on weekdays, and on weekdays, Fang Qingze and Yingzi hold silver and copper coins, but now they are in a hurry and naturally there is no entanglement available." Our store is a small business, no credit, no money, please poop. The proprietress replied with squinted eyes. She glanced at Lu Yunzhi, who was sitting still, and suddenly her face changed, and she was full of shyness, and thought to herself: This is a beautiful man. couldn't help but be overjoyed, and his attitude was much more accommodating, and he asked: "The guest officer is not joking with me, how can you be such a dignified person without money." ”
Lu Yunzhi smiled slightly and said, "It's true, but I have a horse tied outside the door, I don't know if I can pay for a meal." The proprietress was crispy by Lu Yunzhi's bones, but she didn't forget that her man was busy in the kitchen, and hurriedly shouted: "The master, the owner, you come out quickly." The boss thought that someone was making trouble outside the door, so he grabbed a kitchen knife from the kitchen and hurried over, and said in a rough voice: "What's the matter, who dares to make trouble here, I'm impatient." ”
Lu Yunzhi stood up, arched his hand and said, "Brother, it's inconvenient to have money at hand today, do you think it's okay to use a horse to drink and meat?" The boss was stunned, turned his head to look at the horse tied to the door, and hurriedly said, "It's good, but the horse is so valuable, I can't give you extra money." "No, as long as the wine is enough for the meat." Lu Yunzhi said calmly.
The boss was happy, until today he can be regarded as rich, and hurriedly went to the meat on it, just ran two steps and turned back and asked: "Objectively this horse is yours." The proprietress kept staring at Lu Yunzhi's secret Qiubo, and at this time she scratched her head and said to the boss: "Go quickly, this guest officer has an extraordinary demeanor and temperament, how can he be a horse thief, and he doesn't prepare a meal quickly." The boss laughed twice and walked away in embarrassment.
The proprietress still wanted to say more, but she heard Lu Yunzhi say: "Boss, just serve the wine and food, let me calm down, thank you." The proprietress smiled, she couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, but she was just a nymphomaniac: "Then you sit down first, and I will serve you wine and meat in a while." After saying that, he shook his hips and tails and left coquettishly.
When the wine and meat came up, Lu Yunzhi poured a big bowl and drank it all, and suddenly felt that the depression in his chest was relieved a lot, he didn't accompany Yingzi because he didn't want Yingzi's two lives to overlap and be in a little danger, he didn't go with Fang Qingze because of his stubbornness, he didn't want Fang Qingze to see how he was getting old.
There are many veins in the heavens and earth, but most of them are to increase yang longevity and exchange life for life. Just like the secret technique of Zhongzheng One Vein to continue life, it is rare in the world that it can bring the dead back to life. The life-sustaining technique of Zhongzheng Yimai is very special, the person who operates it will not only reduce the yang life, but also make the face instantly age with the decrease of yang life, so Lu Yunzhi is already in his thirties at this time. However, the effect is also extraordinary, not like other life-sustaining techniques, how much yang life is reduced, and even only half of the reduction. The life-sustaining technique of Zhongzheng Yimai can bring people back to life like a new life, and how to do it in the future depends on the creation of the person who is renewed.
Lu Yunzhi didn't know why he chose to wander the rivers and lakes alone, he didn't want to follow Fang Qingze, nor did he want to find Qu Xiangtian, he returned to the starting point, returned to the state of loneliness, and then looked at his age, but he was still depressed and couldn't help but chant Liu Kezhuang's "Qinyuan Chun Mengfulo", but this last sentence was not as sure as Liu Kezhuang, but added, because he didn't know what he would be like in the future.
The words are like this: sigh that the years are over, the fame has not been established, the scholars are old, and the opportunity comes?
