Chapter Twenty-Three: The Strange Old Man

Behind a misty valley surrounded by a sea of bamboo, there is a seventy-year-old man sitting in the bamboo pavilion, and the table in front of him is still burning with a pillar of incense. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There is a pond in the east of the bamboo pavilion, almost jet-black, the old man is holding a book in his left hand, holding a white beard in his right hand, and the word "Ghost Valley" can still be seen on the cover of the book.

At this time, suddenly a figure flew down on the bamboo pavilion, and after the old man looked up slightly, he continued to look at the book in his hand and said.

"Lao Cheng, how can you have time to come to me today. Don't keep an eye on your precious granddaughter."

The figure rolled down the bamboo pavilion and landed on the edge of the pond, looked at the ink in the pool, and chuckled.

"Old ghost, I came today to tell you great news"

The old man glanced at the slightly thin figure standing by the pond and leaned sideways. "Won't you see any pre-Qin antiques looking for me to total, but let's say okay first, the silver in my hand is about to be drained by you, and you have found me this broken book in the past few years," said and threw the book on the table

The slightly hunched man, who didn't know what technique he used, pounced on the bookcase in the blink of an eye, pointed to his nose and said, "Old ghost, that's how you see me Cheng Fang?" ”

The old man snorted lightly and swept down his sleeves.

"Good, good! I came here today with kindness, and I wanted to tell you that I had found a descendant of the Flower Sect, and I didn't expect you to treat me like this. Don't mention it," after snorting at the old man, the hunchbacked man turned around and left.

The old man was shocked when he heard the word "between flowers", and he used light skills to stop the hunchbacked man in an instant. Zhengse said: "Are you serious? ”

The hunchbacked man named "Cheng Fang" turned his head to look away, with an unpretentious expression.

The old man was helpless, so he could only bow down and clasp his fists and salute, "Cheng Lao, it was indeed my fault just now." It's just that this matter has always been a problem on my mind. Please also tell me where that person is. ”

When the old man got up, he saw Zheng Cheng Fang fiddling with his fingers and blowing the dirt in his nails. With a wry smile, he took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands.

"It's about the same" Cheng Fang grabbed the silver ticket, flew onto the roof, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, only a sentence that made the old man cry and laugh.

"In a few days, you'll see that kid, if he's not stupid."

The old man was troubled by this incident, and he didn't have the heart to read books anymore. After staring at the waterfall in the distance for a while, he walked to the main hall.

Since that day, by chance, I found the scene of the dragon and tiger meeting. Xiao Tianqing rushed back to Suzhou City and made some preparations. I went to the east of Suzhou to search for several peaks, but it took more than two days, but I still didn't find any trace of "Junzitang".

Finding a tree at random, Xiao Tianqing leaned on and sat down. He took out the wine and dry food in the package, and replenished his physical strength that was about to bottom out. Just when he was drowsy after eating and dressing, and wanted to take a nap, the voice of that day in the restaurant suddenly came to his ears.

"Weird, what are you doing here, you stupid boy, didn't you say you went to find Junzitang?"

Xiao Tianqing immediately stood up excitedly, and shouted into the mountains and forests, "Seniors, juniors have already seen the dragon and tiger meet, but they have only been searching here for a few days." However, I didn't find the "gentleman's hall" ah."

"You pig! Am I talking to you about "Gentleman's Hall on these two mountains"? You've found it all here, you can't look any further east? Is it because of this mountain? It's because of the sun! The sun knows no, the sun is in the east! Young people nowadays are really getting more and more useless," he said, and his voice faded away.

Xiao Tianqing muttered in her heart, "I'm not an ancient person... It's so confusing...", and then straightened out the package and strode east.

When he crossed two mountains to the east, Xiao Tianqing finally came to the Foggy Bamboo Valley under Junzitang Mountain.

Looking at this bamboo forest that is produced by the topography and is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. Xiao Tianqing sighed with emotion

"Sure enough, this is the only place that is suitable for my generation!"

When I entered the Foggy Bamboo Valley and walked halfway, I suddenly heard the sound of a piano in the bamboo forest. Xiao Tianqing walked towards the sound of the piano, and saw an old man with frosty hair and white beard sitting on a huge rock, playing the piano on his lap.

Xiao Tianqing didn't dare to disturb and stood quietly aside. Listening to the beautiful sound of the piano and the surrounding environment, Xiao Tianqing felt that her heart was exceptionally empty and clear. At the end of the song, Xiao Tianqing opened his eyes and found that the old man was looking at him quietly.

After Xiao Tianqing paused for a moment, he stepped forward and bowed, "Dare to ask the seniors, is this the "Gentleman's Hall"? ”

The old man didn't reply, just looked at Xiao Tianqing quietly. Until Xiao Tianqing's whole body was hairy, Xiao Tianqing couldn't bear it anymore, and the picture of a movie that year couldn't help but appear in his mind.

I don't know if it's driven by my heart or something in my head. Xiao Tianqing walked under the boulder, raised his head and said, "Immortal? ... Monster? Then he nodded and continued, "I see... Dumb...", then tightened the package on his shoulders, turned around and continued to look for "Gentleman's Hall".

Before he had gone a few steps, an old voice came from behind.

"Child, you wait"

Xiao Tianqing's mind suddenly went blank, "Remember that I didn't say anything I shouldn't have said just now" This is Xiao Tianqing's inner monologue at this moment. But after stopping, Xiao Tianqing didn't dare to turn around to look at the old man's face.

"Kid, you're an alien, aren't you?" The old voice came from behind him.

Xiao Tianqing hurriedly turned around and said to the "senior" and thought to herself, "I was scared to death of the baby, I almost forgot." I'm talking about another world, and he shouldn't be able to understand it.... You're welcome... Should! ”

"You just said you're looking for Junzitang, right?" The old man asked softly

"Yes, senior, dare to ask if this is the Gentleman's Hall?" Xiao Tianqing bowed again

The old man looked at Xiao Tianqing for a while and said, "You come with me," he said, picked up the long piano with his right hand, and flew in front of Xiao Tianqing.

"Master!" This was Xiao Tianqing's first reaction, "Get rich, adventure!" "Go to the pinnacle of life and marry Bai Fumei" are the second and third reactions respectively.

Transporting the "oil on the soles of the feet" and "flower swimming" Xiao Tianqing is full of horsepower, and the light internal force does not want to be like money, and follows the old man closely, but no matter how hard he catches up, the old man is unhurriedly hanging about ten zhang in front of him.

After the two of them ran for a while, and when they went up a curved stone path to the halfway point of the mountain, a pavilion appeared in front of Xiao Tianqing's eyes. Although it is not splendid, it is also a room of Zhilan, which has a unique flavor with the surrounding environment. Figures dressed in blue or green can also be seen walking and shuttling in the room.

It's just that before Xiao Tianqing could take a closer look, the old man in front of him said "keep up". took Xiao Tianqing to cross the Zhangyu stream on the side of the gate, and then climbed over a high wall and entered a wing room.

Xiao Tianqing, who landed in the courtyard, watched the old man enter the wing, rubbed his hands and thought in his heart

"If you get rich, is it a big adventure? Why don't you take me through the front door and open the back door? After thinking about it, Xiao Tianqing also walked in.
