Yuan Shou first introduced Bai Si Lu to the old man, and the old man began to look Bai Si Lu up and down. The old man's gaze was like electricity, and his sharp gaze was as sharp as the tip of a knife. The two looked at each other, and Bai Silu felt that he was being seen through by the other party. The feeling of piercing the heart, why is this person's eyes so sharp? Bai Silu immediately increased the person's score by another twenty percent, and the suspicions that were a little at the beginning are now all gone.

Bai Silu admired the face of this person, what Yuan Shou said was not a lie, he was really imposing and in good spirits. The spirit is not inferior to that of young people, and the courage is not a few points lower than that of military generals.

And this person is not out of touch with the sense of the times, unlike the people he sees, who are all out of step with this era. And this old man is very close to this era, and there is no disconnect in temperament.

A person who can possess this kind of courage must have a very high level of cultivation. It is more likely that this person still has extraordinary kung fu, and this person is too temperamental to be a master of the world. Of all the people he had ever seen, this old man was definitely the dragon and phoenix among men. Even if he doesn't know anything, he can suppress the whole audience with his temperament.

From the image to the temperament has been completely conformed, taste this person, look at his mental state, feel full of electricity. Don't look old, but this person is not deaf and blind, he speaks clearly when talking to others, and his thinking is still agile.

Bai Silu was so happy that he could not contain his feelings, and he was glad to see that someone had come to see him. The two looked at each other for a long time, and Yuan Shou immediately introduced, "This person is Shaokang, the eldest of our Yuan ancestral family. is also the most respected, and is respected as a grandfather by the whole clan. ”

"Grandpa Tai is on top, and he is worshiped by the younger generation." Bai Silu will be in a hurry and immediately kowtow to Shaokang.

"I'm ashamed." The old man replied modestly, "You are his friend, and you are an outsider. I don't know about the family's affairs, and the family is nothing more than using the old man as a façade. Every New Year's Day, the filial sons and grandsons will all come to the door, causing me to move several times. ”

"No way! There are people in the family who talk about pomp and circumstance. Yuan Shou explained, "This matter is all handled by the eldest in the family, and he likes to engage in these formal etiquette." ”

"Don't talk about the past." Shaokang said, "Moving is a lot cleaner, avoiding the distractions of the world, and you can get a piece of purity." ”

"Shaokang ......" Bai Silu just wanted to talk to Shaokang, but his words were interrupted.

"From life to death, I don't want to be mentioned by that name. Back then, the master gave me the word Shaokang because he wanted me to revitalize the sect and rekindle the declining flame. It's a pity that I don't have this talent. failed to reach Shaokang's ability to turn the tide and revive the family business, and failed to fulfill his old man's last wish. I'm very ashamed of the word Shaokang, and now you can see it, I just have a name. Calling Shaokang is like insulting me. ”

"Grandpa, I don't like to hear this. I speak directly, for fear that you will be angry. Your master is really not a thing. Yuan Shou said, "The heavy responsibility is on your shoulders, what are the others doing." It cannot be said that the ruin of the family business is caused by you alone, it is the result of accumulation over a long period of time. If the family business he gave you is really thriving and losing in your hands, then you are absolutely responsible. Grandpa, what was the state of the gang when you took over? ”

Shaokang smiled, "Whatever is going on in your mouth will become reasonable." ”

"Grandpa, so you don't deserve the name Shaokang at all." Yuan Shou said, "Your efforts when you were young were not in vain, although they did not achieve the final effect, at least you can still keep your current family business." ”

"The times are changing too fast, and the traditions left by the older generation will inevitably be eliminated if they do not adapt to this era." Shaokang said, "Now that I am down, I don't need to compete for fame and fortune, I just want to disturb less." ”

"Don't be surprised." Yuan Shou explained, "Grandpa is like this, too modest. Don't look at the seclusion here now, you still retain the demeanor of the king. ”

"People can't accept old age, and now they don't have the courage they used to be. I can't help you at all about you young people. Shaokang is still modest to excuse himself.

"I don't see it that way!" Bai Silu interjected, "Ancestor Shaokang, I don't think you have lost that heart to regroup. If you have the opportunity, you will definitely come back to the world. ”

"You're so right." Yuan Shou agreed, "This is my central idea. ”

"I'm a forgotten person, and if it weren't for something, no one would remember me." Shaokang said to himself, "Don't be polite first, sit down and talk slowly." I'm going to make tea for you. ”

"Grandpa!" Yuan Shoumali wanted to get up instead of Shaokang to make tea.

"I'll do this myself, you don't understand." Shaokang smiled. His body was very light, and he neatly took out the tea set to make tea for the two of them. This set of Shaokang equipment is a product of recent years, a full set of automatic equipment. It is not as Bai Silu thought, that they should boil water by hand and play a tea ceremony for them to taste the taste of tea.

Shaokang saw Bai Silu's thoughts, and asked with a smile, "Why, shouldn't I have modern utensils here?" ”

"Senior Shaokang, I think it's very inappropriate for you to make tea like this. I think that the predecessors of the masters who have attained the Tao should use the most primitive way to make tea for us, and the next time you use charcoal to make tea for us, I can also accept it. But how can you always use modern equipment, you shouldn't use modern equipment here. I feel that the meaning of the upper layer is that you have lost the aura of the immortal family in this way. Kind of disappointed me. Bai Silu spoke his opinion.

Shaokang smiled, his hearty laughter was not a shameful laugh, but an understanding of the meaning of Bai Silu's words.

"If you don't keep up with the times, you're bound to be eliminated." Shaokang explains, "If a person doesn't use the most advanced home equipment, how can he know where the world has progressed." His eyes are not open, his ears are deaf and he is not clear, how can he guide the world for others. If you really see that I am still using primitive tools to make tea for you, it can only mean two things, one is that this person is very poor, and the other is that he has a picture. Do you want to see someone who has a picture, or do you want to see someone who is real and open? ”

"This ......," Bai Silu mused.

"No need to answer." Shaokang said, "There is no right or wrong here, only a person's understanding of life is different." ”

"Shaokang's predecessor is right, it really makes the younger generation ashamed." Bai Silu explained.

"There is no right or wrong here." Shaokang insisted, "If this fully automatic tea maker makes you feel out of the realm, I have more advanced robots here, will it make you cry and laugh?" ”

Bai Silu's embarrassed facial expression made Shaokang laugh again. Shaokang beckoned for his robot to come out and meet the two customers. It turned out that Shaokang himself used a household medical robot, and the model was like a privately modified product.

The appearance of this robot was not only an accident for Bai Silu, but also a surprise for Yuan Shou. I didn't think this old man still had this hand.

"Why can't someone like me have a robot?" Shaokang asked.

"Just unexpected." Bai Silu replied honestly, "I thought that the fairy wind Dao bone should not eat the fireworks of the world." ”

"Presumably, many people think that immortals should not eat or drink, they have gone beyond the Three Realms and are not in the Five Elements, but this is not the case. Like people, they eat and drink the same way, and they also need clothes and supplies. If all the immortals don't eat or drink, the world will be interesting. ”

"I don't know much about people who are cultivators, and my first impressions are all in books or film and television dramas. People are easy to say, and I will believe what people say. Bai Silu's answer was all heartfelt, he didn't dare to talk in front of Shaokang, he knew too little about this knowledge, and if he couldn't say a few words, it would be exposed.

The people he understands are all in-depth and simple. Life is simple and unpretentious, living in poverty and living freely. There are very few people like Shaokang who keep up with the times, and this visit is indeed worth the trip. At least let yourself know that it is better to cultivate in your own heart than in the situation, in the form of showing outsiders, and the heart is your own.

"It's not AI, it's a hybrid robot. Controls and responses are all shared services, and the cost is affordable for me. Shaokang explained, "I don't have too much money, so I have to buy an underground product in private." I have used it for a few years and the effect is not bad. ”

"Grandpa, you're too fashionable." Yuan Shou praised and got up.

"It's not fashionable, it's forced to live out of necessity. I live here lonely and lonely, and I need someone to take care of me. My life is not good, and I don't even have a Taoist child. Now my physical condition is getting worse and worse, and if there is no robot here, my life will be a mess. ”

"Grandpa!" Yuan Shou was ashamed and said, "You keep saying this, so that our juniors have no place to be ashamed." ”

"Don't say that." Shaokang smiled, "If I don't look for you, I will save a lot of trouble." You don't bother, I also count a lot of things. ”

"Senior Shaokang, dare to ask you how long you live? You don't look like a 170-180-year-old person, and you feel like you're more than 80 years old in terms of spirit. ”

"I'm exactly 213 years old this year." Shaokang replied indifferently, as easily as answering others that he had just turned 100 years old, without a sense of showing off to others, from what he said to feeling that he was ashamed of having lived so much.

213 years old, how is it possible. Bai Silu hurriedly asked, "How can you live so long?" ”

"Hey!" Yuan Shou scolded, "Bold Bai Silu, you dare to curse my grandfather, do you think he has lived too long?" Are you looking for a fight? ”

"I didn't mean that, I made a slip of the tongue." Bai Silu immediately explained, "I'm amazed, how can people live for more than 200 years, it's a miracle in the world." ”

"Some small methods can prolong life and increase longevity." Shao Kang replied peacefully.

After Shaokang finished speaking, Bai Silu couldn't help but smile, "Senior, is this what you are talking about cultivating immortals?" ”

"I'm different from cultivating immortals, but it can make you prolong. If you want to cultivate immortals, you can't do anything about it. ”

"But looking at the faces of Shaokang's predecessors, they are only 80-90 years old at most." Bai Silu asked.

"The wind can't blow, the rain can't get wet, and the maintenance is good." Shaokang smiled and replied to Bai Silu's question.

Bai Silu thought about it, there was really no way to identify this matter. You can't just ask what happened in your time, how stupid the question is. From Shaokang smiled, he was disdainful of answering. There is no need to verify whether this is true or false, he dares to claim to be 213 years old, and his knowledge is even more than that of mortals. If you want to use words to defeat him in front of him, it is impossible to win.

"You must distinguish between small arts and immortal methods." Shao Kang explained, "I only learned a higher level of qi, but it can make your own body transcend. The Qi Dao is an extension of the Qi Gong, but this is just that the Qi has not yet reached the realm of the Immortal Law. We are a small number of mortals, so it's okay to practice secretly. ”

"Whether it's immortal or Dao, it's a small success to be able to learn it." Bai Silu was a little envious.

"If you study, you can come here to study." Shaokang said, "You may not be able to learn other Taoist techniques, but this longevity is still possible." In the past, many people studied here, and there were more than a thousand people in total. ”

"Thank you! Shaokang seniors. ”

Since Shaokang knows this, he will definitely have some secret medical skills. Bai Silu immediately came to ask with interest, "Is that medical skill simply pediatric in your eyes?" ”

"You're here for a doctor?" Shaokang asked.

"Just asking." Bai Silu said, "I usually read some Chinese medicine books, and since Venerable Shaokang knows how to maintain health, then Chinese medicine must be unable to understand it." At present, there are several famous doctors who have been doing body conditioning for me. These people are as powerful as Shao Kang. If you have the opportunity, you can introduce them to Elder Shaokang, who are all proficient in everything from cultivation to medical skills. I've known each other for a long time, and I was given some medication to take. ”

"Forget it. We have different paths, and we have different paths. Shaokang smiled indifferently.

"That's it!" Bai Silu was even more embarrassed, he wanted to introduce Shaokang to his peers, who knew that Shaokang didn't bother to associate with these people at all.

"I can only know a little bit about medical skills, but I still know a little bit about conditioning." Shaokang said modestly, "Medical skills and techniques are two parts, and it is impossible to know everything in one way. If one day, someone says that he can understand all kinds of tricks and get a glimpse of the whole situation from one point, and he is not a liar but also a madman. Few people know the world, not to mention that we are still mortal. ”

The three of them smiled.

There were only three futons in the Shaokang Inner Hall, and the three of them sat together. Shaokang hadn't asked what he meant by his sudden visit today, and he didn't want to ask why the two of them were here, because he had already gotten the news. Yuan Tong had ventilated to him earlier, in order to avoid Bai Silu. Yuan Tong only stayed here for a few minutes before leaving, although he knew Bai Silu's intention, but if he really wanted to execute it, it still depended on his own ability.

"Brother White!" Yuan Shou said, "Why do you call Grandpa Tai a senior? Isn't that right? I call him grandpa, you call him senior, are you taking advantage of me? ”

"I really don't mean that." Bai Silu immediately explained, "I don't know what it's called. ”
