Chapter 60: Defection to the Mad Old Man

Half an hour later, Chen Dong and Wei Xiong sat on a big rock, their not very good-looking faces, and discussed in a low voice what they had just seen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Why are you saying that the people in this village are so rude, don't you just ask for directions, as if you have seen a ghost, what do you say now?" Chen Dong said with a little anxiety, and then asked Xiang Weixiong.

"How do I know what to do, I've asked a few times in a row, but I don't know the 'Spirit Turtle Pill', I wonder if we're on the wrong path," Wei Xiong said.

"I also think it's a little strange, the turtle pill seller is not good in the city, and he went to the countryside to sell it to anyone."

"Master said that I haven't seen that crazy old man for two years, even if we don't go to the wrong place, what if someone changes their careers?"

"That's right, if that's the case, then it's troublesome, it looks like I'm going to sleep out again," Chen Dong patted his fat thigh and said.

"Fat Dong, why don't we go into the village in front and inquire."

"Go ahead, I guess the result is about the same, I'm waiting for you here, I can't stand that sin anyway"

"Let's go, don't complain, I won't be able to inquire when it gets dark" Wei Xiongqiang pulled Chen Dong, who was chattering, and walked towards the cottage not far ahead.

"Uncle, let's inquire about something," Wei Xiong asked an old man squatting under the eaves and smoking a hookah.

"Young man, I don't think your accent is out of town, what's the matter?"

"Yes, we have just arrived in your land, and we would like to ask the spirit turtle pill......

"I don't know...... I don't know ......."

Before Wei Xiong finished speaking, the old man's attitude changed sharply and he vetoed it, hurriedly walked back to the house with a hookah, and slammed the door shut. The result was still as Chen Dong said, just like the situation they encountered on the road just now, the two had to continue to inquire.

"Uncle, may I ask the Spirit Turtle Pill ......?"

"I don't know...... Go away...... Go away......"

asked a few in a row, and the attitude was still very kind at first, when they listened to Wei Xiong and they said, they either scolded or shook their hands and left, Wei Xiong and Chen Dong couldn't even understand what the problem was, but they could only rest assured that the two discussed a few words and continued to move forward.

"This lady ......"

"You better hurry up and find a place to stay, I heard what you asked them, don't ask again" Wei Xiong They have asked several times when they entered the village, and finally there is a person who is willing to take the initiative to care about the talk, and the heart is happy, although there is no answer they want, but this kind of opportunity, how can Wei Xiong let them go, and looked at the young woman in front of him with a bit of grace, but she was pale and spoke a little frivolous.

"Auntie, do you know how to go?" Wei Xiong and Chen Dong continued to ask as if they had seen hope.

"Don't ask, young man, listen to me, get out of here early," the woman said, turning and leaving, ignoring the two behind her.

"Auntie...... Auntie......"

"It's weird, strangers don't seem to be welcome here," Wei Xiong sighed.

"Listening to the lady's tone, it seems that something is not quite right here, let's find a place to settle down first, and then inquire tomorrow," Chen Dong said.

"Alas...... That's the only way to do it."

After speaking, Wei Xiong and the others stopped inquiring, turned around and walked towards the outside of the village.

"Brother, wait a minute" Just as the two of them turned back and walked a few steps, about to leave, a girl's voice came from behind them.

"Little sister, is there something wrong?" Wei Xiong and Chen Dong saw that someone actually took the initiative to talk to them, whether they knew what they wanted to ask or not, but there was finally hope, so they turned around and asked.

"I know how to get to the place you asked"

"Really? Great" Chen Dong was overjoyed in his heart, and said happily when he heard the other party say that he knew how to go.

"It's not that far from here, but can you promise me a favor?" The girl said shyly, as if she was afraid that the other party would not agree.

Wei Xiong and Chen Dong were slightly surprised, looked at each other, and finally, Wei Xiong calmly analyzed and replied: "Let's talk about something first, and see if we can do it first."

"Qiu Yue, go home soon......"

"Here," the girl replied, turning around, and a half-naked middle-aged man could be seen from the window of the room not far away, shouting at the girl, who seemed to dislike the girl's contact with strangers.

"I don't say more, my dad will curse"

"It's best if you can promise me, even if you don't want to help," the girl said in a low voice, picking up her voice.

"Well, since you've said so, we'll promise you, but there's no guarantee that we'll be able to help," Wei Xiong said.

"Thank you, two brothers, I'll go to you tomorrow" The girl told her how to get to that place, and then hurriedly ran back into the house, leaving the middle-aged man, looking at Wei Xiong and them through the window with not very friendly eyes.

Wei Xiong still nodded and smiled at the middle-aged man in etiquette, and then turned around and walked with Chen Dong in the direction of the mountain and forest path outside the village, the middle-aged man's low cooing voice sounded in the house, as if accusing Qiu Yue's dissatisfaction, Wei Xiong shook his head helplessly, and walked farther and farther, and the voice behind him quickly disappeared.

"You say she's mysterious, what do you want us to help with?" Chen Dong said as he walked.

"It's hard to say, anyway, she made it very clear, she won't blame us if she can't help, and it seems that she won't have any malice," Wei Xiong replied.

When it was completely dark, Chen Dong and Wei Xiong followed the path pointed by the girl named Qiu Yue, and sure enough, they saw a row of houses and courtyards, which looked a little sad and lonely in the dark.

"There are two big lanterns hanging at the door, just like she said, it's here, you don't have to sleep and you can eat turtle balls, it's really good, haha......" Chen Dong pointed to the courtyard from a distance and smiled happily.

"It should be right, it's good that the crazy old man didn't change his career, haha......" Wei Xiong also put his heart down, and the two laughed and quickened their pace.

Seeing the light, the road was not far away, and the two of them trotted a few steps to the gate of the house, and saw an old man busy at the door, so Wei Xiong strode forward and asked, "May I ask this old man, is this the 'Spirit Turtle Pill'?" ”

"Exactly, what's the matter with you?" When the old man heard someone asking, he stopped what he was doing, raised his head slightly and looked at the young man who was more than half a head taller than himself.

"Our master is Zhang Jinhua, who was ordered to come to take refuge"

"What? Are you Zhang Jinhua's apprentices? The old man thought that it was the blessed lord who came to ask for the door, and when he heard that he was Zhang Jinhua's apprentice, his expression was stunned, and he looked at the two young people in front of him carefully, but he quickly became happy.

"This is a handwritten letter from the teacher, please take a look" Wei Xiong said politely, handing over a letter with both hands.

"Let's go into the house and talk," the old man finished speaking, and took Wei Xiong and the others into the courtyard.

Wei Xiong and Chen Dong knew that they had found the right place, and they thought to themselves, but their footsteps followed closely behind the old man, looking at the old man was actually not short, maybe he was a little hunchbacked because he was old, and Wei Xiong and Chen Dong had grown a lot taller since they had cultivated, and if it weren't for the spine energy on their faces, it would be easy for people to mistake them for fifteen or sixteen years old.

The hunchbacked old man walked into a simple hall with Wei Xiong and Chen Dong, and the two glanced at the hall, there were only a handful of furniture, and it seemed that the most valuable thing was the half-new and old Eight Immortals wooden table.

"That's right, it's his handwritten letter, and I'm the one you're looking for," the hunchbacked old man said after reading the letter that Wei Xiong handed him.

"The younger Wei Xiong is polite"

"Chen Dong meets the crazy old man...... Grandpa"

"Hehe, no need to be polite, just call me a crazy old man, everyone here calls me that"

"I don't know if your master is okay?"

Wei Xiong glared at Chen Dong, almost calling him a crazy old man by mistake, but he was relieved to hear that he was willing to call him like this, and only then did he come back to his senses when he heard the crazy old man ask.

"The teacher is very good! There is a lot of work to remember."

"Time is not forgiving! We haven't seen each other for a long time, it's been almost three years" The crazy old man sighed, as if he suddenly remembered something, and the topic changed and continued: "By the way, you guys wait for a while, I'll go get something for you to eat" After speaking, he walked out of the door before Wei Xiong and the two answered.

"Isn't it a shop that sells turtle pills? Why are there so many coffins outside? After the crazy old man left, Chen Dong leaned into Wei Xiong's ear and said.

"It seems that we misunderstood, Lingguimaru we misheard, didn't you see the wooden plaque hanging on the door beam when you entered the door?"

"I really didn't pay attention, what is written on the wooden plaque?"

"It's late for the spirit to return," Wei Xiong said word by word.

"Spirit Turtle Pill, the spirit returns late, it's really not much different, you said Master, he is really right"

"Fat Dong, don't say it, I think Master is too smart, otherwise why would we have rushed here in three days"

"Wei Xiong, you already knew? It's so unjust! ”

"How do I know, when we asked Master again and again, he didn't tell us clearly what we were doing here, and his intention was to take advantage of your greed so that we could hurry as soon as possible, and besides, if we knew it was because we were worried that we would be afraid."

"Master underestimates our brothers too much, how can we be afraid of this?"

"How about it, I can't eat turtle pills, I'm disappointed, haha......"
