Chapter 27: Worship
Back at the inn, the disgraced Chu Qiuli drooped his head.
"That old boy has a weirdness. He muttered something like this, apparently still haunting the wooden box.
Xu Han, who was sitting on the bed, glanced at the other party when he heard this, the old man naturally had his eccentricity, Chu Qiuli was no longer good, but he was somewhat cultivated, and he couldn't shake the wooden box at all, so Chu Qiuli didn't need to say much, Xu Han could also understand it.
"Alas, Xiao Han, did you say that old boy's box contained treasures?" Chu Qiuli came to Xu Han again at that time, and said with a salivating face.
Xu Han responded angrily: "Yes, do you dare to steal it?"
"Uh..."Chu Qiuli was suddenly dumbfounded, and said in distress: "Even if I steal it, I can't take it!"
"That's it. Xu Han said that, then lay down and was about to fall asleep.
"Alas, alas, Xiao Han is at this juncture, why can you still sleep?" But seeing this, Chu Qiuli hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted loudly.
Xu Han asked with a blank face: "Isn't this time the time to sleep?"
"That's also the time to score, that old boy is eyeing us, as the so-called couch doesn't allow others to sleep peacefully, why don't we have to do something?" Chu Qiuli said in a serious manner, looking anxious as if he was facing a great enemy.
"Well, that makes sense. Hearing this, Xu Han sat up, took out a cloth bag from somewhere in his arms, and threw it to Chu Qiuli: "We really have to do something, otherwise we will have to sleep on the streets tomorrow, and it will be hard for Brother Chu." ”
After saying this, Xu Han fell asleep again. Only Chu Qiuli looked at the cloth bag in his hand and sighed.
......
Of course, Xu Han knew that the old man was not simple.
Chu Qiuli's cultivation is not clear to Xu Han, but judging from the size of the wooden box, it should not be difficult for Chu Qiuli, but Chu Qiuli can't shake it at all, and this alone is enough to prove that the old man is extraordinary.
Xu Han once met the old man again outside Huangsha Town, he explored the old man's cultivation, but found nothing, although Xu Han's cultivation was only in the fourth realm through the secluded realm, but if he wanted to hide his perception, he could not do it unless he was a monk in the Great Yan Realm, therefore, Xu Han secretly deduced that the old man's true cultivation was probably already a strong man above the Great Yan Realm.
Such a character, Xu Han couldn't understand whether it was a coincidence or deliberate that he was on the same road with him, and Xu Han didn't dare to act rashly until he understood the other party's intentions. Moreover, the other party didn't seem to show any hostility towards them except for the treasures that Chu Qiuli had stolen, so Xu Han preferred to wait and see.
......
"This old boy is determined to oppose someone in Chu!!"
In the early morning, Xu Han was woken up by Chu Qiuli's wail.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Chu Qiuli sitting on the ground, and the stones that were scattered all over the ground.
"Xiao Han! Look, this is really a hell of a life!" Seeing that Xu Han had come to his senses, Chu Qiuli hurriedly came to Xu Han's bed, pointed to the stones on the ground and shouted: "Fang Cai is still gold, silver and jewelry, and it has turned into stone in a blink of an eye!"
Xu Han rubbed his eyes, looked at the man beside him who obviously had two dark circles under his eyes, and probably guessed that Chu Qiuli probably hadn't slept peacefully this night.
"You mean you watched them turn to stone with your own eyes?" Xu Han asked with a frown.
"Isn't it!" Chu Qiuli slapped his thigh and said: "After I succeeded last night, I was afraid that the old boy would do it again, so I kept staring, but staring at it, these things all turned into stones in front of me!"
Xu Han knew that Chu Qiuli had never been sloppy in matters related to money, and his face couldn't help but change, what kind of magic power was this, Xu Han had never seen such a skill.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the two looked at each other, and their faces were different.
"Who?" But Xu Han still asked in the direction of the door after counting his breaths.
"It's old, hehe. It's getting late, it's time to hit the road. A kind voice came from outside the house.
......
So a group of three people, plus a cat and a wolf, went north again and headed in the direction of Yanzhou.
The old gentleman still carried his strange big wooden box on his back, and walked tremblingly all the way, but he never missed.
Chu Qiu was quite jealous of this old gentleman, and hid far away all the way, but Xu Han didn't care, and still walked side by side with the old man.
"What is the matter with the old gentleman going to Yanzhou?" Xu Han asked suddenly, his tone respectful, as if he was just chatting, and had no other intentions.
"Call me Wei Lao, a mere Jianghu artist, I really can't afford to be called Mr. The old man responded with a smile, and then looked at him and said: "When you are old, some people can't let go of some things after all, and they want to see them while they are still able to move." ”
"What can make Mr. Wei worry must not be a trivial matter. Xu Han said.
The old man smiled when he heard this, and reached out to touch the black cat on Xu Han's shoulder.
"In this world, whether it is big or small, it varies from person to person. The old man said with a smile, but his hand was raised and he pointed to a wheat field beside the road.
The field is not large, but it is only a few feet square, and the autumn of the great summer is coming late, and at this moment there is a farmer harvesting wheat.
"You see, how much grain can be found in this small acre of land? It is only a day's food for the rich, but for this farmer, it may be the hope of the family's survival. The old man said slowly, "If someone steals his wheat, it may be a catastrophe for the farmer." ”
Hearing this, Xu Han raised his eyebrows, "Is there something in Mr.'s words?"
"Hehe, old decay doesn't mean that. ”
"I just want to tell Brother Xu and Brother Chu that if you take a steamed bun stall and a steamed bun, the vendor may be heartbroken, but it doesn't matter, but if you take a beggar's steamed bun, you may lose a way to live. ”
"But there are too many people in the world who meet in Pingshui, and you will never know what kind of worries are hidden under his glamorous appearance, some choices that seem innocuous to you, or life-and-death disasters for others. ”
"Heaven and earth are furnaces, and all living beings are soups. ”
"Since we are all in the calamity, why bother to suffer each other again?"
The old man said faintly, and after saying this, he still turned his head to look at Xu Han, his eyes narrowed, and he still had a faint smile on his face, but he asked in his mouth: "Little brother thinks what the old man said is reasonable?"
Xu Han was stunned for a moment, suddenly stopped, bowed to the old man with a solemn expression, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your teachings." ”
The old man squinted his eyes and nodded slightly, not dodging this worship, and accepting it calmly.
