Chapter XXXVII: The Older Generation 1

"Let's go."

The crazy old man put away his cigarette pipe and got out of the car first. It looked a bit like entering the territory of jackals, tigers and leopards.

I got out of the car and followed the crazy old man into a small alley.

The alley was narrow, just big enough for me and the crazy old man to walk side by side, with those brick walls on both sides, and the alley was very deep, twisting and turning!

I was led by the crazy old man, turned left and right, and just as my head was about to go around the clouds, suddenly a half-moon gate appeared in front of me.

On the half-moon gate made of large stones, some green plants hung down. Sunlight casts through the gaps in the greenery, creating a clear light and shadow.

It's the first time I've seen such an "ancient" gate, and I can't help but feel novel.

When I walked into the Half Moon Gate and turned to the right, I was greeted by a large circular pond.

The pond is divided into two pieces by a wooden bridge with nine bends and thirteen bends, one side is planted with a large lotus leaf, in this season, the pond is full of lotus flowers, but this half of the pond only the middle of the lotus flower is in full bloom, the summer breeze blows, the lotus trembles lightly, like a girl seeing the lover of the heart, bowing her head and being shy.

I don't know how to do it in the pool on the other side, but there was a lot of smoke coming out.

The smoke slowly covered the wooden bridge, and when it reached the other pool, it condensed on the lotus flowers, as if the smoke on the mountain had descended from the earth, and tied a neon coat and feather belt to this half of the lotus pond.

The crazy old man and I stepped on the wooden bridge with nine bends and thirteen bends, and the smoke instantly covered our feet, and I suddenly had a feeling of becoming a fairy.

When we came here, the crazy old man and I both unconsciously slowed down. Listening to the sound of flowing water, I couldn't help but wonder: Is this the heavenly court?

The crazy old man suddenly stopped, closed his eyes and felt it carefully, and then muttered to himself: "It's really rare, it actually gave birth to a bit of rhyme!" ”

I leaned over the bridge and gently blew away the smoke from the pool, and when I saw a few beautiful carp swimming under the water, I was not only so happy that I called out to the crazy old man to come and see, "Master, there are beautiful fish under the water!" ”

The crazy old man was originally immersed in what he called "Dao Yun", but when he heard me shout, he turned his head, the corners of his mouth twitched violently, and he made it clear that "I don't know this bear child", and left on his own.

I quickly got up and caught up.

After walking across the wooden bridge and walking on the bluestone paved road for almost a minute, we arrived at the destination of our trip.

It was an old Chinese house.

The two wooden doors are inlaid with a simple style knocker, the bottom of the knocker is in the shape of a plum blossom, on which are the heads of two bronze lions, and the two handle knockers hang from the lion's mouth.

The mad old man snapped one of the knockers, his voice deep and clear.

Listening to the echo of the knocker, I seemed to have a sense of falling asleep, and it seemed that an old man with a long white beard would slowly open the door in the next second, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you have become an immortal!" ”。

Well, I'll admit I'm a little "nervous", the scenery here is too much for me to have the illusion of being in a fluttering fairy.

But it was true that someone had come to open the door, but it was not an old man with a white beard, but a boy of my age.

Because I was standing behind the mad old man, as soon as he opened the door, I poked my head out from behind the mad old man and looked at him curiously, so he saw me first.

It is estimated that he saw someone he didn't know, he frowned tightly, and then looked up and saw the crazy old man, as if he remembered something, he suddenly stretched his brows, and shouted affectionately: "Uncle Chen, come in." ”

"Uncle Shi? Hum! The crazy old man snorted coldly.

I glanced up at the crazy old man, and his face instantly turned dark. From what I know about the crazy old man, he really doesn't feel happy.

I don't know what is unhappy about him, anyway, the crazy old man has always been crazy, and I can't figure out when he is happy and angry.

The mad old man went out the door ahead of me, and the boy and I shrugged our shoulders in tacit understanding, and then I followed the mad old man into the door.

After entering the gate, there is another gate that is the main house.

We walked into the house with the boy, and I was stunned.

As soon as we entered the room, there was a large living room, simply decorated with some tall greenery, and a sofa in the center of the living room.

To my astonishment, the house has two floors, and the living room is surrounded by huge bookcases that lead to the second floor.

This crazy old man took me to a library?

The sofa was full of people, and the crazy old man walked directly to the sofa after entering the house, and sat down on the sofa with a big grin.

I was keenly aware that the moment the crazy old man sat down, the person sitting on the sofa next to him glanced at the crazy old man, and he was disgusted as much as he wanted!

I'm not stupid, the few people sitting on this sofa must be the brothers of the crazy old man. And the people standing next to them are all about my age, so they must be from our generation.

The master sat down, and I, who was an apprentice, quickly ran to the master's sofa and stood up.

At this time, my master lazily stretched out his hand and said to me, "Zhengyi, come and see your uncles!" ”

I looked at Master's arrogant appearance, and I didn't know for a moment whether I should or shouldn't.

At this moment, the middle-aged man sitting next to the master spoke, he snorted coldly and said, "Uncle? Chen Jidao, even if you are a senior brother, you can't break Master's rules, right? ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, I looked at him naturally.

He really looks older than my master. I could see some of the small wrinkles on my face.

The whole face looks very majestic, different from the majesty of Zhu Qinshou's Chinese face, he has a pair of gold-wire glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the whole person looks like he belongs to that kind of bookish majesty, like a university professor.

With a "huh", my master immediately sat upright, picked up the gaiwan tea on the coffee table, scraped the tea foam, and said calmly to the man: "You also know that I am a senior brother?" How do you call me? You dare to say, you didn't teach? ”

As Master asked these questions, I instantly felt that the atmosphere in the room had become a little strange.

My master and the man were directly and obviously full of muskets, especially after my master asked, "You didn't teach it", the man turned his head and snorted coldly, and then stopped talking.

And everyone present was also as quiet as a cicada, so this is weird.

My master was also drinking tea calmly, and the atmosphere reached freezing point from a strange moment.

"Senior Brother Chen, this is our lineage, the descendant of the Shanzi lineage?" Suddenly, a voice broke the cold and awkward situation.

I followed the voice and saw that it was a middle-aged man who was a little chubby and smiling.

But no matter what, the middle-aged man relieved the atmosphere present.

My master nodded along with his words, and then started with the person next to him who was "-for-tat" with him just now, and introduced me in turn: "This is your uncle, our lineage, the descendant of the medical character lineage - Jiang Jishe." ”

Hearing Master's introduction, I hurriedly pinched the meridian in my hand, bowed, and said respectfully, "Uncle Jiang." ”

I was cautious and respectfully shouted "Uncle Jiang", because I was afraid that Uncle Jiang would be as "fierce" to me as my master.

But who knows, when Uncle Jiang saw me, he nodded with a smile on his face, and then took out something from his pocket and threw it to me.

I hurriedly received it with both hands, and when I saw it, it was a delicate little square box.

There was a red pill lying inside, and when I opened it, I suddenly felt a refreshing fragrance hit my nose.

The fragrance instantly filled our area, and everyone was inhaling the fragrance deeply.

My master asked, "Did you use the elixir?" ”

"I used it, I don't care about what I gave my nephew, can you recognize it?" Jiang Shibo replied lightly.

I wondered in my heart, didn't these two people fight against Mai Mang before? Why is it like no one is right now?

I don't understand the world of the master anyway, but when I saw the gift from Uncle Jiang, I couldn't put it down, and I covered the box and put it in my magic bag.

The master then pointed to the person sitting to the left of Master Jiang and said, "This is your uncle, Li Jide, the descendant of our lineage and the lineage of life. ”

I walked up to Uncle Li, pinched the meridian in my hand, bowed respectfully and said, "Uncle Li." ”

Uncle Li held me up with his hand, meaning to let me get up. I got up and looked at Uncle Li, and suddenly felt that Uncle Li's age looked older than my master and Uncle Jiang!

Why?

Because his original black hair was mixed with several strands of white hair, and there were many wrinkles on his face, he looked like a vicissitudes of life.

Uncle Li's age is the youngest of my master's generation. But since he inherited the lifeline, he ......

Uncle Li also took out something from his pocket and handed it to me, and when I looked down, it was a piece of jade.

The jade is transparent, and if you look closely, there is a trace of cotton wool inside.
