I paused for a moment and said, "It's because of age." The most important thing to do with people's institutions is age. Thirty years ago, you were ninety years old, and now I am only in my twenties. So don't take these alarmists, as for you saying that they can't stand it, that person's physique itself is different, their two sisters have been suffering from exhaustion since childhood, how can their resistance or physical condition be compared with me, a normal person? ”

Zhou Lao's response was to tap his fingers on the table twice, and then speak, but not to me: "Ah Yue, you come in." ”

His voice was not high, unless it was at the door, he might be able to hear it, but it took about two or three minutes to hear footsteps outside the house, the door was pushed open, and the old woman asked in a hoarse voice by the door: "Old Zhou, are you looking for me?" ”

"Go get someone."

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and asked incomprehensibly, "Who to lead?" Old Zhou waved his hand, "Whatever, just the kid from before." ”

The old woman left, I probably understood what the old man meant, just now I used the age theory to refute him, and argued that the Qiu Yuebai sisters' physique is different from ordinary people, and he is now trying to find someone else to refute it for me.

But I didn't expect the old woman to bring Luojinghan! He was pushed in with his hands behind his back, and we both saw surprise in each other's eyes when we collided. Zhou Lao pointed to the rice soup on the table and said to the old woman, "Feed him a bowl." ”

When the old woman stretched out her hand, I stretched out my hand and held it, "Forget it, you don't need to prove it to me, I just believe it." ”

Zhou Lao shook his head, looked at me with a smile and said, "You don't believe it. If you were to find someone from my side, you would definitely say that they had already taken this drug, so now find someone with you, and let's see how it turns out. ”

The four words "involuntarily" are my own experience. I had no choice at all, so I could only watch the old woman forcibly pour the rice soup into Luo Jinghan's mouth, and after only five minutes, I saw him fall to the ground and curl up and start moaning, with an extremely painful expression. I stood indignantly, clapping my palms on the table and glaring at the person opposite, "Enough! What do you really want? ”

Zhou Lao indifferently ordered: "Okay, Ah Yue, take him down first." ”

"Detoxify him first."

Zhou Lao said with a smile on his eyebrows: "It's not poison, it's caused by the blockage of blood vessels caused by the reverse flow of breath in the body." Fill it with more water and you'll be fine. The old woman glanced at me sarcastically, then leaned over and dragged Luo Jinghan out of the door, and I and the old man were left in the room again. He ignored my ugly face, "Do you approve of me now?" Without waiting for me to answer, he asked, "Do you know why I can see that you are different?" ”

I narrowed my eyes and lowered my gaze, "Because of the bone shrinking work." "From beginning to end, this is the only skill that makes me different from ordinary people, and just now I paid special attention to the root of the old woman's ear, and she was wearing a device similar to a communicator. This explains why the old woman in the cave had to make a deal with me before, and it was obvious that she was ordered by the old man this week, which is enough to prove that the cave has a monitoring device. This seemingly primitive place, where external signals are disturbed by special geomagnetic forces, actually has their own way of communication.

Sure enough, Zhou Lao replied: "That's right. But that's not a bone-shrinking exercise. ”

I couldn't help but be stunned, "It's not a bone shrinking skill, what is it?" Zhou Lao pursed the corners of his mouth, hesitated deeply, and then said, "That's it, I might as well tell you." In general, the bone shrinking technique of the world is not to shrink the bones, but to use the internal qi internal power to narrow the gap between the bones, so that the bones of the whole body are stacked tightly in order, strictly speaking, this is called the shrinking method. But when you use this skill, do you use internal qi and internal strength? Do bones stretch and contract freely? ”

I stopped talking, staring straight into those sparkling eyes. I can say where I know what internal qi and internal strength, every time I shrink my bones, almost as soon as I think about it, my bones begin to shrink. Not to mention that it is as comfortable as he said, you need to concentrate on it, and after shrinking the bones, you will feel muscle soreness all over the body, especially if I continue to force the bones to shrink after a certain extent, the tingling sensation all over my body is very intense.

Zhou Lao glanced at the look on my face before continuing in a deep voice: "Your shrinking bones actually originate from my clan, and in addition to the special requirements for bones, it can be as short as thirty years, as long as fifty years or even longer. It's me," he paused, and then heard the sound of bones, his body contracting at a slow pace, and he was of average stature, but in an instant he became a shriveled old man. But it soon stopped, and he said, "This is the only way, and I have been practicing for sixty years." With that, he stretched his bones back.

Although he looked very comfortable, the limit of his bones was really not as big as mine, and I could shrink myself into a child, and I would shrink my bones more than twice as much on his basis. He also gave a representative figure: sixty years. And if I had seen it in the virtual image in my dream, it would have only taken me a few days to learn this bone reduction technique, and even if I practiced it every day, it would only be more than 20 years. I inevitably think of the old man who taught me the skill of shrinking bones, except for his tall body, the rest is vague.

Old Zhou said that my shrinking bones came from his family, so is that old man also his clan?

In his thoughts, he heard Zhou Lao ask: "Then now tell me first, where did you learn this bone shrinking technique?" ”

I pondered for a moment, hooked my lips and replied with a smile, "If I learned it in a dream, would you believe it?" "I didn't say anything, that relationship was indeed drawn in a dream, and even I can't be sure if it's true or not. But I never thought that Zhou Lao's face changed, he stretched out his hand across the table to clasp my wrist, and asked urgently: "Are you true or false?" ”

Lowered his eyes and glanced at his hand, the temperature was a little colder than that of a normal person, it stands to reason that no one would believe me after I said this, but his current behavior and psychology are in a hurry to verify the situation. After I nodded, he asked, "Tell me what the dream was like?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it would be okay to tell the old man, because even I knew nothing about the old man's message. So after a little muttering, he said: "I met an old man on the street when I was a child in my dream, and I went to bring him food every day, and he taught me this skill in gratitude." Because it was a dream, there was no specific process or details, and then the shrinking of the bones was as common as reaching out and bending, and it became a special ability. ”

Naturally, I wouldn't tell him that I didn't remember any of these things, but I learned about them in a dream recently. As for the ability to shrink bones, I haven't remembered it for two years as Xia Zhu, or that time when I was in the Shen family's high city, I suddenly realized that I had this skill.

Suddenly, an electric light flashed in his head, as if something came out of nowhere, but it disappeared too soon to catch it

Zhou Lao let go of his hand and said with a worried face: "You go back first, let me think about it." I suppressed my trembling nerves, stood up quietly, turned around and approached the door step by step, and when I was only one step away from the door, I heard Zhou Lao shouting behind me: "Wait." My heart pounded, and my mind flipped rapidly, measuring what were the chances of success if I pulled the door open and escaped at this moment? After a few seconds, he turned around and looked at the place suspiciously.

I saw that Zhou Lao had already stood up, his hands propped up on the table, and there was a rare hesitation on his face, and he stopped talking a few times. I didn't rush him, just stood by the door, and finally he asked after a few struggles, "What is the person in your dream?" ”

I replied truthfully: "I don't know, he has been covering his face with a hat so that he can't see his face clearly." ”

"And what did he say?"

After thinking about it, he told him: "I can't remember anything else, I only remember what he said before leaving, everything has its own fate." ”

I remember very well that when the old man turned his back and I asked him what his name was, he said that even if he said it to me, he would forget it after he turned around. Strange bones and brains, three lives, everything has its own destiny, and there will be nobles to help break the catastrophe.

After I finished speaking, I saw that Zhou Lao seemed to be shocked, his eyes opened wide, and his face was shocked. I hesitated, "Is there a problem?" His reaction was a little loud, but the next moment he was even more out of shape as he slumped in his chair, and I noticed that his hand on the table trembled slightly, and it was hard for him not to associate with the old man of my dreams.

To be honest, the reason why I am willing to tell the truth is because I am tempting. At that time, I will probably be able to judge that the person who taught me the bone shrinking skill must have something to do with this old man, otherwise he would not have lost his temper to such a point.

It's just that for now, I was calm and pretended to be inadvertent: "If there is nothing to do, I will go out first." After waiting for two seconds, he didn't respond, and his heart rate calmly turned around, opened the door, stepped out, and closed, all with bated breath.

I let out a long sigh of relief, then took a deep breath, and the free air beckoned to me. It is unexpected that such a situation will occur, but people have to be improvisable and know how to grasp the timing, and they may not have thought that I would easily walk out of this door during the conversation with Zhou Lao, but she was not called to notify. So, if you don't leave now, when will you wait? Zhou Lao will think about this as soon as he comes to his senses, and I may only have this few minutes.

The thought turned calm, no longer hesitated, and immediately walked quickly towards the other end of the stone house in a clear direction. Behind the stone house is a bamboo forest, and because no one is hoeing the grass, the bamboo forest has grown into a long grass nearly half a meter high. This kind of realm snake insect is the easiest to generate, and I was wondering whether to venture deeper, when I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and I had no choice but to burrow into it. <
