Chapter 147: Guess how old I am

After thinking about it, Du Yuanyuan sat on the futon again and began to concentrate on cultivation according to the mantra taught in the book.

The sun sets and the moon rises, day after day, Wei Lao's walk is not a few days, Du Yuanyuan is simply pinching his fingers, not because he misses this old man much, but without him, he can't cook, he can only go to the mountains to pick some wild fruits every day, relying on the nest head to live, feeling very hard. It was evening at this time, and he sat on a stone under a tree and stared in the direction of the valley, hoping that the rickety figure would appear soon. When it came to his cultivation experience, he had a little feeling after these days, and there was a faint cool aura spreading from his dantian, but the momentum was very weak, and it sank back again halfway through the operation.

However, Xiao Du found that his hearing has been very good recently, and he can hear sounds ten feet away, no matter how loud it is, even if it is a bug calling, he can hear it clearly. In terms of vision, he was already extraordinary, and the six lines in the corners of his eyes allowed him to see places that ordinary people could not see, and he often wondered what the last two lines were for. And there was one thing that he was a little confused about, that is, the two lines in the middle that could have predicted the future now seemed to be invalid, and no matter how he predicted, he couldn't predict the future of himself and Mo Qingye. Or you have to be in a specific environment to see what is going to happen, with a certain time limit, not too far in sight.

As he pondered for this, a chirping bird from above his head interrupted his thoughts, and when he looked up, he saw that it was still the little bird covered in light yellow feathers. It had been following itself for an unknown number of days, and after leaving the valley from Wei Renzhong, it had surrounded itself like a shadow. Thinking that it was the bad old man who used it to look at his eyeliner, Du Yuan picked up a small stone and threw it at the bird, which flapped its wings and flew away, and then fell back on the branch disapprovingly, staring at him with a look of contempt.

"Look! Look at what to see, watch Lao Tzu roast you and eat it. "Du Yuan's hungry eyes were dizzy, how many days had not tasted meat, he climbed to the tree, these days his ability to survive in the wild has been significantly improved, the general trees are difficult for him, the bird saw him climb up, flapped his wings and flew away." There's a kind of you don't run! Xiao Du roared at the birds that were gradually turning into small dots in the air.

The bird didn't catch it, and he sat down on the stone in a dejected state, staring at the cheats at his feet in a daze.

This bird is a bit human, and the look that shines through its dark eyes is anything but ordinary. Because of this, he has a special love for it, Du Yuanyuan is very fond of animals, and tries every possible way to catch the bird, but after repeated failures, he has a heart for barbecue......

It seems that the bad old man has a very good bottom in his heart, and after walking for so long, he sent a bird to monitor him, obviously not afraid of him running at all, or he couldn't run away. He was a little frustrated when he thought about it. The sky is sinking little by little, the dim sunset finally dissipates behind the mountains, and the night will come again. Just as he got up and was about to go back to the cabin, suddenly at the end of the mountain road, a familiar hunched shadow came in the distance, and the old immortal returned!

At that moment, Du Yuan was happy from the bottom of his heart, and ran over in three steps and two steps.

"Wei Lao-Master-" was even more excited than Sun Wukong, who had been pressing under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years, to see Tang Seng, and when he got closer, Du Yuanyuan found that Wei Lao was wrapped in small bags, and his stiff back was carrying several large bags of medicinal materials. The strong medicinal fragrance came out of the bag woven with twine, and Du Yuanyuan hurriedly took the herbs on his body, and asked casually, "Master, this is what you went down the mountain for." ”

"Ahem." Wei Lao coughed twice, looking old and frail, "It's not all for you." ”

This sentence is too false, Du Yuanyuan pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, speechless. Elder Wei then said, "I'm worried that you will encounter a bottleneck when you practice, so I deliberately collected these precious herbs and used them to refine special pills for you. ”

The one on the left is worried about you and the other on the right, as if they are both in love with each other. People are really hypocritical, and in the end, it's not for yourself. Du Yuanyuan thought about it, but there was still a grateful expression on his face, "Master's kindness to his disciple is unforgettable. ”

"I'm not afraid that you will forget me, but I am afraid that you will not be able to practice." Wei Lao said this sentence, and then the two of them didn't speak, Xiao Du carried the bag of herbs and followed Wei Renzhong to the residence. When passing by the stone chamber in the mountains, Wei Lao asked, "I'm not here these days, how are you practicing the exercises?" ”

"It's okay." Du Yuanyuan smacked his lips, "It seems to have improved a little bit." ”

"Show me later." Wei Lao's face did not change, but it was difficult to hide the joy in his eyes, and he immediately asked with concern, "How is life, can you still eat enough?" You should have enough food at home for these days. ”

…… As soon as he mentioned this, Du Yuanyuan felt bitter and hateful, "Master, I have been eating mountain fruits these days, and I still have a nest of heads." ”

"Why, why don't you cook a serious meal?"

"I've got to know how to do the math, too." Du Yuanyuan looked helpless, "But now that I look forward to you back, I can finally improve the food." ”

"You kid is too lazy." Wei Lao sighed and shook his head, for a while, they were really harmonious and harmonious, and they seemed to have forgotten all the grievances and entanglements between each other, and then listened to Wei Renzhong said slowly, "Actually, I didn't want to embarrass you, but I can't help it." To put it bluntly, you and I have no grievances, and I don't need your life, but when I am forced to this juncture, I can only go down. ”

Hearing that Wei Renzhong told such a big truth in front of him for the first time, Du Yuanyuan couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, it was not easy for anyone, he wanted to use himself, and he didn't want to use him. "But I don't know, what is the use of you letting me practice that skill, Wei Lao, since you have talked about this, for example, just lift it to the end, so that I don't always have to worry about it."

As he spoke, he had arrived at Wei Lao's residence, and Wei Renzhong's place was not much better than Du Yuan's, except for a larger area and more things, the rest was also quite simple. After entering the room, he ordered Du Yuanyuan to put the herbs in the shade, and he sat down on a rocking chair by the window to rest, and said while shaking the creaking chair, "Boy, you see how old I am." ”

Du Yuanyuan said in his heart, since he asked so, there must be a gap between his age and the appearance, and the gap is very large, and he thought about it, "Judging from his complexion, he is about sixty." ”

"Sixty?" Wei Renzhong smiled, a little disdainful.
