Meng Xunzhen stood in front of a small two-story building built on the edge of a cliff and had a dangerous shape, looking up at the three elegant, vigorous and powerful plaques of "Comfort Nest" written above the main entrance, and a sense of peace and tranquility surged in his heart.
"Yo yo deer chirping, apple of the wild food. I have guests, drummers and shengs. An old voice came from the building, first reciting a sentence of Cao Mengde's "Short Song Xing", and said with a smile, "The good guest is visiting, the old and decaying are shining, and I still invite the little friend to go upstairs to talk about it." β
Meng Xunzhen also smiled when he heard this: "The younger generation has inadvertently walked here, disturbing the purity of the seniors, and I still pray for forgiveness." Then he walked into the hall on the first floor, which was surrounded by carved wooden doors and windows, and climbed up a nanmu staircase at the corner of the house to the second floor.
A hall on the second floor is divided into two rooms by a screen, the inner one is supposed to be the master's bedroom, and the outer one is furnished with a simple round table and square stools, which is used as a living room for entertaining guests. At this moment, an old man with a rather ancient style is sitting at the table, holding a pot in one hand and a cup in the other, leisurely pouring himself a drink.
"Little friend, please take a seat." The old man did not get up, but pointed to another square stool beside the table.
Meng Xunzhen didn't speak, first bowed his hand, and then walked to the table and sat down.
The old man poured a glass of wine from an empty cup on the table and said, "Little friend, please come and taste the 'Six Fruit Brew' brewed by the old man." β
Meng Xunzhen raised his glass and drank it all, the wine entered his throat, only to feel that the wine was mellow, fruity, fresh and refreshing, with a soft and long aftertaste, and blurted out: "Good wine!" β
The old man's face was slightly pale, and he said: "This wine is made from six kinds of fresh fruits: pomegranate, grape, orange, mountain pomace, green plum and pineapple. β
Speaking of this, he first drank the wine in his cup, and then poured a full cup for Meng Xunzhen and himself, raised his glass and groaned, and his voice revealed an indescribable deep twilight and deep sadness: "Sing about wine." What is the geometry of life? For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past. Be generous and unforgettable. How to solve the problem? Only Du Kang. Hehe, since the wine has been brewed, the old man's life has been much better. β
Meng Xunzhen drank another cup and said with a smile: "I thought that the water would flow more when I drew a knife and cut off the water, and I was even more worried when I raised a glass to eliminate my sorrows." Passive avoidance is not a good strategy, only by facing it bravely, there is a possible solution. β
"The water is more flowing when the knife is drawn. Raise a glass to dispel sorrow and sorrow. These two lines of poetry are wonderful! It's no wonder that Xiuxun, who has always been lonely and self-admiring, will look at you differently. The old man casually quoted Meng Xunzhen from the two popular verses of the generation of poet Li Taibai recalled it several times, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. blurted out a compliment, then his face darkened again, and he said with a wry smile, "A young man can only say such a thing with a sharp spirit." I hope you can still be so confident and optimistic when you reach the age of an old man. β
"The senior seems to know the identity of the junior," although he knew the identity of the old man in front of himβthe reason why he came to this hidden place behind Pegasus Mountain City under the pretext of wandering was to see this person as soon as he saw himβbut he only pretended not to know, and asked, "It's rude." Haven't consulted your seniors yet? β
"Although the old man lives in seclusion here, he is not at home, and there are few things in the outside world that can be hidden from the old man, let alone the Pegasus Ranch." The old man replied proudly. He added, "Even if Ning Daoqi sees the old man, he must respectfully call him 'Teacher Lu'." You may have thought of the identity of the old man? β
Meng Xunzhen got up and arched his hand and said: "Disrespectful, it turns out that the predecessor is Lu Miaozi, who is known as the world's first craftsman. β
"The world's first craftsman?" Listening to Meng Xunzhen praise himself like this. Lu Miaozi smiled self-deprecatingly and sighed, "Everyone in the world respects the old man who knows everything." omnipotent, but I don't know that this is the biggest shortcoming of the old man - too much curiosity, too many intentions, with a limited life, exhaustive study of infinite learning, the result is everything but it is difficult to reach the top. If he had concentrated on martial arts at the beginning, although he might not have caught up with the achievements of the three great grandmasters, he would at least be able to retreat under the opponent's hands, so as not to drag this internal injury that was difficult to heal for a long time. β
"Is the senior injured?" Meng Xunzhen took a closer look at the complexion on his face and said, "I am bold, I want to diagnose the pulse of my predecessors." β
Lu Miaozi shook his head and said: "Xiaoyou doesn't need to bother, the old man also knows a lot about medicine, and he knows very well what his injuries are." β
Meng Xunzhen said stubbornly: "What's the harm if you want to try it next?" β
Seeing the persistence in his expression, Lu Miaozi put his right hand on the table and said with a smile: "Since Xiaoyou has a heart, then a dead horse should be regarded as a live horse doctor!" β
Meng Xunzhen put his finger on Lu Miaozi's vein, and a wisp of pure true qi from his fingertips entered his body.
Lu Miaozi said movingly: "Xiaoyou's internal strength has both yin and yang, faintly fitting the principle of heaven and earth, although it seems to be not perfect at the moment, the future achievements are limitless!" β
"Seniors praise falsely." Meng Xunzhen said humbly, and then with the help of the trace of true qi that entered Lu Miaozi's meridians, he sensed the situation in his body with his heart, and immediately noticed that although the wisps were not very powerful, they were like maggots of tarsal bones that spread across his meridians. These true qi are extremely weird and yin-damaged, with both devouring and corrosive characteristics, on the one hand, they keep devouring Lu Miaozi's own true qi to strengthen themselves, and on the other hand, they are constantly invading and corroding his meridians.
"What a vicious true qi. Who was hurt by the seniors? β
The corners of Lu Miaozi's eyes jumped, and there was a faint hatred and murderous intent in her eyes, and she asked, "Xiaoyou, have you ever heard of the 'Yin Sect'?" β
"The 'Yin Sect', one of the two sects and six realms of the Demon Sect?" Meng Xun Zhendao, "In this way, the one who hurt the seniors must be the master of the 'Yin Sect' and the 'Queen of Yin' Zhu Yuyan, who is among the eight masters of the evil path!" β
Lu Miaozi was slightly stunned and said, "Xiaoyou has a lot of knowledge, and he actually knows a lot about the Demon Gate. Yes, the old man was injured under the demon woman's 'Heavenly Demon Da*Fa'. Alas, the old man had two lifelong hatreds in his life, one of which was to fall in love with this woman. only sighed that the old man failed to see the femme fatale of this demon woman, and the surface was full of affection, but because one thing did not go according to his wishes, he immediately changed his face, and ruthlessly inflicted poisonous hands, and refused to stop chasing and killing the old man after seriously injuring him. Finally, the old man was proficient in a lot of side studies, and first escaped by the art of mountains and rivers, and then devised all kinds of suspicious tactics to deceive him into believing that I had fled overseas, otherwise he would have died under her hands. He saw that Meng Xunzhen was silent after checking his pulse, so he smiled and said, "Little friends don't have to make difficulties. Although the old man hated this demon woman for being insidious and vicious, he had to admit that she was stunning and gorgeous, and her demonic skills were almost extreme. It is a miracle that the old man was able to prolong his life by means of food therapy after he was seriously injured. β
Meng Xunzhen's face suddenly appeared with a confident smile: "Senior's words are too early. Although his cultivation is shallow, he does not think that the injuries of his predecessors are difficult to heal. If the seniors are willing to let go and give it a try, there will be a few points in the bottom. (To be continued!)
