Chapter 376: Mysterious Old Man

Chinese The old man shook his head and sighed deeply. With a strong right hand, the wheelchair jumped to Ling Yunjun's side, and with his left hand, he lifted Ling Yunjun, who was covered in mud, and jumped back into the cave. Rinsing Ling Yunjun's face, nostrils, and ears with water, he pushed two pills into his mouth and placed him in front of the stone bed. turned around and walked out of the cave, came to the stone room where Duan Siyi was lying on the other side, and pushed the two pills into Duan Siyi's mouth. Turning around and coming to the big stone room in the middle, pounding the herbs stacked on one side, looking at the herbs in his hand and sighing lightly, his mind seemed to be caught in endless memories.

After a while, he mashed all the herbs and looked at them carefully. Turned around and slid into a wheelchair to look at Duan Siyi and Ling Yunjun respectively and then came out of the cave. He slapped his hands on the ground, and the wheelchair dragged him to the bottom of the cliff opposite. Sliding his wheelchair along the rock wall, he seemed to be looking for a missing herb. He slid along the cliff wall for a long time, only to see a very short flower and grass with purple petals on the rock wall more than ten feet high. Both hands slapped the gauntlets on both sides of the wheelchair at the same time, and the body left the wheelchair and jumped in front of the flower, and the left hand swept over the purple flower, and fell to the wheelchair with an uproar. The wheelchair was sunk deep into the sand and gravel, and it seemed that the force of the fall was extraordinary. He turned back with his right hand and slid his wheelchair back into the hole. Divide the purple herb that he just got into more than ten parts, put one part into the mashed medicine powder on one side, and then pour it into the stone trough and pound it. When he pounded it and put it in the stone bowl and turned to look at Ling Yunjun, he was shocked that Ling Yunjun was gone. He hurriedly returned to Duan Siyi's stone room and saw Duan Siyi lying quietly on the stone bed to relax his mind. After pulling out Duan Siyi's pulse, he turned around and came to the mouth of the cave, and saw a long crawling ditch extending to the other side. He jumped into the distance of the ditch and saw Ling Yunjun crawling over the swamp, leaving vague traces of blood and crawling on the sand and stones. He slid along the trail, and the scene in the grass ahead of him surprised him even more. A long poisonous snake spilled blood all over the ground, dead in the mess of grass, and the blood scraped a deep crawling mark along the grass. He shook his head, a slight smile on his lips, and rolled forward with his wheelchair along the crawling mark. Ling Yunjun was found fainted on the sand and gravel not far away, his face, the corners of his mouth, his hands, feet, and his clothes were stained with the blood of poisonous snakes, like a dead man crawling out of a private pile. The old man took his pulse and smiled slightly, wanting to mention him. He suddenly woke up in a daze and said in a faint breath: "Old man, I beg you, don't take me back." It's hard to climb here, maybe Yi'er is in front," he said, breaking free from the old man's hand and pulling forward hard.

The old man said: "Is Yi'er's life more important than your own life?"

Ling Yunjun didn't answer and continued to crawl. He knew that the old man would not help him find Duan Siyi no matter what, so there didn't seem to be much difference between answering and not answering.

The old man slid his wheelchair and followed him and asked, "If you don't speak, how can I help you find it?"

Ling Yunjun said while crawling: "I don't know why the old man hates me so much, why don't you help me find Yi'er." Now I'm going to find her myself, ask the old man to go back, don't worry about me, we're already dead."

The old man said: "The old man hates hypocrites the most in his life, you are unfaithful to her is hypocrisy, what does it matter to her life or death, why torture yourself like this, you take good care of your body, the old man passed on your peerless skills, how many beautiful women in the world will not be finished after you go out, why give up a good future for such a girl who has given up."

Ling Yunjun said in a weak voice: "I never gave up on her, and I never thought of giving up on her. It's just that there are too many tribulations in life, and sometimes you can't choose by yourself. But it's true that I'm sorry for her, and I'm not in a position to ask her for forgiveness. But it's her business to forgive or not, but I can't let her be wronged anymore, whether it's dead or alive, I have to find her, I feel so tired, grandpa, go back, don't talk to me anymore. It's disrespectful for me not to answer when you ask me, but you know that it takes a lot of strength to answer. If I keep this strength in my body, I will definitely be able to climb a little longer, and I will get closer and closer to Yi'er. Maybe it's coming soon. As he spoke, he pulled and crawled.

The old man said, "How do you know that she is on this side, maybe on the other side?"

Ling Yunjun had already crawled away from the old man for a long time, he slowly turned over and leaned against a stone slab, looking at the foggy sky above, panting roughly. said: "It's such a big valley, you can find it all in a hurry." After speaking, his eyelids pressed him a little hard, afraid that he would pass out and slapped his face with his hand, and said to himself: "I can't die, I must not die until I find Yi'er." He rolled over, went around the slate, and continued to crawl forward.

The old man jumped in front of him, stopped his way, and said, "What if I want to kill you before you find Yi'er?"

Ling Yunjun walked around him and crawled forward and said, "I have only one wish, to bury me next to Yi'er's grave after I die. As long as I can be with her forever, I will be satisfied. Suddenly, I heard the old man say, "Okay, I will fulfill you," and then his eyes darkened, and he lost consciousness.

The old man stunned him, carried him back to the cave, threw him on the stone bed, fed him two pills, and returned to the big cave in the middle to continue pounding herbs.

"Yi'er, we can finally be together Ling Yunjun looked at Duan Siyi, who was smiling at him in a white gauze skirt, and said with a smile.

Duan Siyi said: We are not together, and we will never have such an opportunity in this life

Ling Yunjun asked: No, you are right in front of me, aren't you?

Duan Siyi smiled and said: There are too many peerless beauties in the world, you can find someone better than me to live the rest of your life, I am gone, and I don't have to think about me turning into a purple gas and disappearing into the sky without a trace.

Ling Yunjun hurriedly grabbed it with his hand and shouted: I don't want to jump and chase after it, I just feel that I want to be tied firmly to the ground, and I can't get off the ground at all. He fell to his knees and cried: Yi'er began to feel like she was falling into the endless darkness of hell."

"Buyi'er" he woke up from the nightmare again, opened his eyes violently, turned over, and smashed his head on the stone bed. Suddenly felt soft on his head, and looked up, it turned out that the old man saw that he was about to hit the stone slab, threw a ball of clothes, and stopped on the stone bed. Ling Yunjun looked at the old man, closed his eyes lightly, put his head on his clothes softly, and the terrible scene in the nightmare in front of him was still in front of him, and muttered: "Yi'er went to heaven, but I fell into the infernal hell"

The old man said angrily: "You just went to heaven, didn't you say that you can't die if you don't find Yi'er, and now you haven't found her, you have done so many things, do you want to die or live?"

Ling Yunjun felt that he was still falling towards the Infernal Purgatory, and said, "I know I'm dead, but I don't know you're dead too." I had just found her, and she had flown into the sky and become a fairy. But I fell into Infernal Purgatory, and I will never find her. However, I see that you can be in the air without stepping on clouds, and you will definitely be able to fly, can you take me to her?"

The old man shook his head helplessly, and pushed the Xuantian Sword fiercely onto the stone bed beside him. The splashed rubble scattered around, and he said, "You are dreaming, you know, reality and dreams are different." You're still alive and awake, can't you be sober and sober?"

Ling Yunjun seemed to be startled by the sound of the sword hitting the stone, and the Infernal Purgatory in front of him disappeared without a trace, and the feeling of falling down suddenly came. But he rolled off the stone bed and smashed it on the stone slab, shaking his whole body in severe pain, screaming, opening his eyes violently, sitting up, and constantly looking around. He shook his head vigorously, calmed down, and looked around carefully. I found myself back in the stone cave, and said, "Why am I not dead yet?" and lay down on the stone slab, looked sideways at the old man sitting in front of him, and said: "I saw that you are also dead, we are all dead, why are you here"

The old man said, "You're dead, and I'm not dead yet." You drank the blood of the poisonous serpent, and the blood was too strong and caused hallucinations, but it had an excellent effect on the wounds in your body. ”

Ling Yunjun shouted: "What" and then moved his hands and feet, and he did find that he had a lot more strength. Hurriedly crawled up, a pain in his chest quickly spread throughout his body, and he covered his chest with his hands to get out of the cave.

The old man said, "Don't look for it, I've already helped you find it." Look at you, I want to die if you don't want to die."

Ling Yunjun became happy, looked around, and asked, "What about Yi'er, where is she, aren't you lying to me?" ”

Seeing that he was out of sight and out of mind, the old man took him to the stone room where Duan Siyi was lying, and said, "Isn't that?"

Ling Yunjun saw Duan Siyi lying motionless on the stone bed, and hurriedly ran over, with a sharp stone hanging under his feet, and fell to the ground with a tumbling plop. He gasped hard, climbed in front of Duan Siyi's stone bed, and tears fell down his eyes. Holding Duan Siyi's hand tightly with his hand, he felt that she still had body temperature, and his heart was relieved, and his eyes suddenly darkened, and he fainted on the ground. The old man shook his head helplessly, lifted him back on his stone bed, and gave him two pills. Turning around and returning to the entrance of the big stone house in the middle, he looked at the vast fog and fell into infinite contemplation. I don't know how long it took, I suddenly heard Duan Siyi's coughing sound from inside the stone house, hurriedly turned the wheel, picked up a bowl of water and came to Duan Siyi's stone bed, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Ting'er, are you awake?"

Duan Siyi nodded slightly, but was suddenly taken aback, and said, "How do seniors know my name?"

The old man smiled and said, "I have an adopted daughter who is also named Ting'er, and I miss it for a long time. She looks like you, if you don't suggest it, I'll call you Ting'er."

Duan Siyi nodded and said: "I see, the seniors called it that, I feel very close to it, my master has always called me what it is, seeing you reminds me of my master" At this point, there was a dullness, and tears fell down.

The old man helped Duan Siyi up, fed her some water, and leveled her down. said: "You can also call me master, and I will be an apprentice of Ting'er."

Duan Siyi said: "In the past few days, I have been taken care of by my predecessors, and I am very grateful in my heart, and I know that I have nothing to repay. But please forgive the younger generation for not daring to obey my fate, my master treats me like a biological daughter, and I swear to worship him only as a master for the rest of my life. If the seniors don't dislike it, Ting'er will call you uncle."

The old man smiled and said, "I don't know if your master is good now."

Duan Siyi's face was solemn, tears were in his eyes, and he said: "I'm ashamed, my master was framed by a traitor five years ago, and he also fell into this abyss" Saying this, he suddenly looked at the old man, looked at it carefully for a while, and said: "Master, is it you?"

The old man shook his head slightly and said, "What's your master's name?"

Duan Siyi was extremely disappointed, and said: "The master is the leader of the Taoist Sect of Origin Qiankun, and his name is against the sky. He loves me more than he loves himself, but I don't even know that he was killed, I am really ashamed of being a son of man, and I am ashamed of him. I only discovered this secret a few months ago, although I have already killed the traitor who killed my master. But his son inadvertently stole the master's magic skills, practiced successfully, and knocked us into the abyss. I thought I couldn't avenge him, but I didn't want to be saved by my uncle, as long as I was alive, there would be hope. When the body recovers, I will go up again to kill this traitor and end this stormy grievance. ”

The old man sighed lightly and said, "Your master will be very happy if he knows that you have this heart." Ting'er, you still call me senior, if you want to call me master in the future, you will naturally call me. The most important thing now is to take care of your body and talk about it after you recover. He handed two pills to Duan Siyi.

Duan Siyi took the pill, fed it to her mouth, nodded slightly, and asked, "I don't know why my predecessor has a big name, why do you live here?"

The old man said: "Everything will naturally be known in the future, take a good rest, don't think so much, good"

Duan Siyi was stunned for a moment and said, "I think you speak very much like my master except for the difference in your voice." Every time he coaxes me to say anything else, he just says, "Good"

The old man smiled gently: "Perhaps, every adult is like this to coax children." ”

Duan Siyi smiled and said: "I don't know about this, it's just that hearing this word makes people have endless memories and is very kind."

The old man nodded and said, "Then you have to listen to me, good"

Duan Siyi nodded slightly and asked, "Senior, is that friend okay?"

The old man nodded and said, "It's no big deal, he's in the stone house over there, I'll take care of it, don't worry."

Duan Siyi said: "Thank you seniors for taking care of us so carefully, I really don't know how to repay your kindness."

The old man said: "It's okay, these are trivial things, not worth mentioning." It's good to rest, it's good to rest, it's easy to say anything. As he spoke, he pulled the futon for Duan Siyi. said: "Good, go to sleep, ah" When he looked at Duan Siyi, she had fallen asleep peacefully, with a lovely happy and comfortable smile on the corner of her mouth. Before she went to bed when she was a child, she would help her pull the quilt like this, and then warmly say "good, sleep" and she would fall asleep quickly, but she didn't expect that after so many years of hearing such simple and warm words, she could still sleep so comfortably.

The old man sat in a wheelchair and quietly looked at Duan Siyi who was sleeping, and the corners of his mouth showed infinite joy.

Outside the cave it was pitch black, quiet, without wind or moon, like a dead spot forgotten by the sun and the moon. Except for the fluttering sparkling fireflies, everything is silent. Suddenly, I felt that the wild creatures everywhere were rushing to the sides to dodge, and after a rustling sound of wild things running, silence suddenly returned. After a while, I heard the rustle of fallen leaves not far away. The old man hurriedly extinguished all the fires in the cave and quietly hid to the side to watch. After a while, I saw a behemoth with a faint purple light dragging several long tail feathers and flapping huge wings, sweeping through the fallen leaves and dust, and flying through the mouth of the cave to one side like lightning. After listening to the loud sound fading away, the old man slowly turned back to the stone house to light the fire and looked at the herbs on the stone slab. Turning back to Duan Siyi's stone bed, she leaned back on the wheelchair with her eyes closed and fell asleep quietly.

On this day, the old man woke up early and saw that Duan Siyi was sleeping soundly, and he slid his wheelchair to Ling Yunjun's stone room to check his pulse before going out. Not long after he left, Duan Siyi woke up, moved his body slightly, and felt less painful. got up and slowly walked to Ling Yunjun's stone room against the cave wall, looking at Ling Yunjun in a coma and fell into deep thought. After a while, he came back to his senses, and slowly walked to the mouth of the cave to see the old man coming back with a bag full of herbs and prey, smiled warmly, and said, "The predecessors have worked hard. ”

The old man jumped into the cave with a wheelchair, stacked herbs and prey on one side, slid over and helped her sit on the stone slab on one side, and said, "When did you wake up, how did you get up before your body recovered, you are not well-behaved at all"

Duan Siyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, senior, I just woke up, and I saw you back when I walked here." I just felt like I had slept too long, so I wanted to get up and take a walk. I don't know how long I've slept again."

The old man said, "You have slept soundly this time, and it has been three days. If you sleep well, your body will get better faster. He took her right hand and checked her pulse, and took the power to her.

Duan Siyi said: "The seniors not only collected medicine for me, but also delivered true qi for me, how dare Ting'er." She heard the old man call her Ting'er, and she felt very kind, and she also wanted to call herself Ting'er in front of the old man.

The old man smiled and said, "The old man is a man who is about to die, and it is useless to leave so much internal strength." Send you more real power, you will be better faster, and your heart will be comfortable."

Duan Siyi said: "In this shady place, strong internal force must be needed to support it, and the seniors don't need to transport real power for me anymore." Now that I've recovered a bit, I can move slowly. ”

The old man said: "Nonsense, don't you dislike my old man's internal strength." You just be obedient, the old man has his own measure. ”

Duan Siyi originally wanted to be good for him, but who knew that it made him a little unhappy, and he didn't dare to say anything more at the moment. said: "I just looked at Ling Gongzi, it doesn't seem that he is going to wake up, he should be fine."

The old man said: "It's okay, the old man's internal strength can only be passed on to you alone, so he will wake up slowly." However, this kid has a big life, and after drinking the blood of the poisonous snake, his recovery is not too slow. It will only take two days to wake up, Ting'er doesn't have to worry."

Duan Siyi nodded and said, "It's always been like this here, there is no sun, looking at the churning fog, the sunlight doesn't seem to be able to penetrate it." ”

The old man said, "Yes, I have never seen the sun, moon, or stars since I arrived here, and I have long forgotten what they look like." ”

Duan Siyi slowly picked up her true qi, and gradually felt that her body began to have some vitality, and asked, "Didn't the seniors think about leaving here?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I've thought about it, but my feet can't do it." I can't climb the rock and walk the wall, and this abyss is really unfathomable, so I can't get out. ”

Duan Siyi sighed lightly and said: "There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts, as long as we insist, there should be nothing that cannot be done, and when we recover our internal strength, we must leave with our seniors." ”

The old man smiled and said, "You have to go out, there are still many things waiting for you to deal with outside." I don't want to go out, although this place is gloomy, it is an excellent feng shui treasure, and I am reluctant to leave. ”

Duan Siyi slowly stood up, moved her hands and feet, and felt that she had recovered her speed and had abundant true qi in her body. It's just that there is still some faint pain in the place where the arm was stabbed by a thousand threads, and I dare not move violently. He looked around and said, "Actually, the environment here is really good, and I might want to come here to spend a leisurely life when I'm old." Senior, don't you have a family, they will definitely miss you. Let's take you out and reunite with your family."

The old man smiled: "I don't have any family outside, my family is here, and I don't have anything to worry about." Ting'er, what is the relationship between you and that kid?"

Duan Siyi didn't know why he asked this question, her face was a little shy, and she replied truthfully: "Originally, the relationship was very good, but now it's just friends." ”

The old man smiled: "It won't be that simple, he doesn't know how many times he has to call your name every day." Shouting several times to wake up, I thought you were his wife."

Duan Siyi was even more embarrassed when she heard what he said, and replied shyly: "How come, he is the kind of person who is not attentive, so I don't want to live with him for the rest of my life." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Actually, I think he is still single-minded enough." Pointing to the mud marks left by Ling Yunjun crawling over the first two caves, he told her how Ling Yunjun found her, and then said, "Maybe there is really some other reason for what happened before him, but he has always been deeply concerned about you in his heart." ”

After hearing this, Duan Siyi was moved and distressed, but the worries in her heart never dissipated, and said: "Maybe he is so good to every girl, he did have a very real relationship with that girl before, and even worshipped" Thinking that Ling Yunjun and Sima Piaoxue hadn't even finished worshipping, they paused, sighed lightly, and said, "I don't want to get married."

After hearing this, the old man said angrily: "This kind of person is indeed hateful, either he wants to die or live, or he doesn't know how to cherish it." Watch the old man go in and kill him. "Turn the wheel back.

Duan Siyi hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Senior, senior, forget it, as long as he is not very bad and he does not die, spare him for the time being." ”
