Chapter 30: Goodbye Yu Lao
In the blink of an eye, ten days flew by, going back and forth between the two pharmacies, Li Ding had basically read all the books he could read, this almost crazy behavior once made the people in the pharmacy think that he was overly depressed and his nerves were a little abnormal.
No one knew what Li Ding was thinking, because the people in the pharmacy had been busy all the time because the celebration was approaching, so naturally they didn't care too much about Li Ding. Even Hua Rong somehow rarely had time to come to the pharmacy, but when Li Ding was still immersed in the sea of medical books and pharmacopoeia, Lingyan Mountain had become extremely lively.
"Li Ding, it's so lively outside, don't you want to take a look?" Qingling's voice woke Li Ding up from the sea of books, and when he looked up, Hua Rong, who hadn't seen him for a long time, was pouting and smiling at himself.
As if he suddenly remembered something, Li Ding stood up violently and took Hua Rong's hand and ran outside, making Hua Rong inexplicable and full of curiosity at the same time.
The path down the mountain is constantly full of people coming and going. Suddenly, a thin black figure with a red shadow quickly shuttled between the crowd, making everyone dodge and give way, but also attracting many whispers.
"Who, such a big grin, is not afraid of bumping into people. ”
"Hey, why is Uncle Hua Rong with that waste again?"
"Hehe, the wood surname of the lower grade is Yuanqi, maybe when the menqing is over, this kid should also go down the mountain. ”
"I've heard that he is a registered disciple in the pharmacy, so maybe there's something out of the ordinary. ”
"The difference of bullshit, back then, you were surnamed Yuanqi, and you only entered the Tongyuan realm three years later with the help of pills, I think he just took more pills to no avail. ”
"Also, I heard that he didn't even find the activation of the vitality, and he didn't even have a chance to take the pill. ”
In the whispers of everyone, Li Ding took Hua Rong and trotted all the way to a manor. After stopping, Li Ding gasped heavily, and he was really tired from running all the way.
"You...... You can let me go. Hua Rong's weak voice sounded, Li Ding was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he was still holding the other party's hand, his face was red, and he hurriedly let go of his hand and said, "No...... I'm sorry, I didn't think about it that much, I just remembered that Yu Lao was coming today, so I ......"
Seeing Li Ding's shy appearance, Hua Rong smiled and said, "I didn't say anything." Yu Lao, do you mean the Yu old man of the Qing clan?"
Li Ding was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes." After speaking, his face suddenly darkened, and he looked at the open gate of the manor in a daze: "I don't know if I want to see him, I ......"
"Is it because of the vitality in your body?" Hua Rong asked with concern, "Seeing the way you are studying these days, I don't think you think too much, I thought you had put it down, so I didn't bother you." ”
Li Ben didn't know that Hua Rong had come a little less for this reason, looking at Hua Rong's appearance, Li Ding smiled indifferently and said, "It seems that you think too much, I just don't know how to face Yu Lao, after all, ...... After all, he was full of confidence in me before, saying that I would definitely be able to do something, but I didn't expect to disappoint his old man. ”
Although Li Ding said this with a smile, Hua Rong could hear a trace of bitterness, so she also smiled: "Don't you want to become a pharmacist? Grandpa said that according to your level of hard work, you will definitely be a first-class pharmacist in the future." ”
"Oh, I hope so. Li Ding smiled again, Hua Rong can always dissolve his heart knot in a few words, in front of this handsome and eccentric girl, Li Ding always feels very powerless.
"Hey, pharmacist? I think you're just dreaming. ”
Suddenly, a sneer came from behind Li Ding, and the familiar voice made Li Ding's brows furrow, but it instantly returned to normal.
"Xue Yun, why are you here? Turning around, Hua Rong looked at the person with a displeased face, it was Xue Yun who was dressed in white, and there were several classmates behind him, all with annoying smiles.
"According to the orders of the master and the hall master Xu, I am a temporary guard during the door celebration, of course, I have to patrol around. Xue Yundao.
"Has Uncle Xue's body fully recovered so quickly? Last time, Uncle Xue was injured when he was tired, and Li Ding apologized to you here. Li Ding said with a calm expression.
Li Ding had already learned about Xue Yun's accidental injury from Huayang's mouth before, and this matter had something to do with him, so he had this habit, but this sincere greeting Xue Yun sounded like he was laughing at him.
"Hmph, or I'll hurt you too, and let you lie in bed for a month, and then I'll come and apologize to you. Xue Yun said coldly.
"Xue Yun, the master has already said this matter, don't go too far. Hua Rong said suddenly.
Hearing Hua Rong's words, Xue Yun raised his eyebrows, and still said coldly: "I will naturally abide by the master's words in the door, but this kid can't stay in Jinguangmen for a long time, I will take the words here, if he does anything outside the door, he has nothing to do with me." ”
"You ......" Hua Rong's face turned pale, "Who said that Li Ding would leave Jinguangmen, my grandfather would definitely accept him as a disciple, you just wait to call him a junior brother." ”
"Hmph, Sister Rong, I don't know why you always protect this kid, but you should know, with his qualifications, do you think it's possible? I just hope you don't regret what you're doing now. Xue Yun gritted his teeth and said.
"You don't care about my business!" Hua Rong suddenly looked angry. At this moment, I heard a burst of laughter.
"Hahaha...... Who said that Huayang guy has accepted new disciples again, why haven't you seen him mention it?" An old voice came from inside the manor, and with laughter, an old man in gray robe walked out of the gate.
Seeing the comer, everyone was stunned, and Li Ding suddenly stood in place excitedly, trembling hands. Just when his tears were about to burst out of his eyes, he rushed to the person with an arrow, knelt down violently, and said sadly: "Li Ding is sorry for Old Yu, I have made amends for your old man here." ”
The person who came was the old Yu Xiangdong of the Qing nationality. When everyone was baffled by this sudden scene, Yu Lao looked at Li Ding with a loving face, and was not surprised by his behavior, but slowly helped him up and said, "Have you forgotten what I told you?"
Hearing this, Li Ding gritted his teeth, endured the tears that were about to fall, stretched out his hand to wipe them, but his eyes were red and said to Yu Lao: "The kid has lived up to Yu Lao's high expectations." ”
Looking at this young man who had lost a lot of weight than in his memory, Yu Lao's face was also quite helpless. The hand holding the cane tightened slightly, and said slowly: "I have already made the matter clear, and the matter has come to this point, you don't have to worry too much, after all, everyone has their own way of living." You have also seen that in this world, not everyone can become a cultivator, just like Xiao Cui you met in Sea Cliff Town, she has the Yuan Qi of the middle grade style, but unfortunately she can't endure hardship, and there has been no progress in the realm. And my poor Min'er...... She inherited her mother's ordinary physique, and she didn't even have the qualifications to become a cultivator, and her peers in the clan rejected her, but you see her, she is also living happily every day. ”
Li Ding was stunned, and his excited emotions calmed down in an instant.
Seeing that Li Ding's mood eased down, Yu Lao continued: "The so-called impermanence of the world, although your Mu surname Yuan Qi is too weak, but it does not necessarily mean that you will not be able to make a difference, as far as I know, just five hundred years ago, there was a 'Aoki Zhenren' in Tianyun Kingdom, and the realm reached the highest Xuankong Realm in the world, and he is the Mu Yuan Qi. ”
"Old Yu also knows about Aoki Zhenren?" Li Ding exclaimed.
Yu Lao's words were like throwing a small pebble into a pool of stagnant water, and although the ripples stirred up were very small, they continued to spread wave after wave, but Li Ding, who calmed down, looked at the kindness on Yu Lao's face, and whispered: "I once saw a record about Aoki Zhenren in a classic, but I don't know what grade of wood surname vitality was stimulated by Aoki Zhenren when he Qiyuan. ”
"Of course it's the best, otherwise what kind of realm can it reach. On the side, Xue Yun's voice suddenly came, and at this time, he was sweeping back and forth between Yu Lao and Li Ding with a disdainful look, obviously very annoyed by this old man who suddenly appeared.
Yu Lao's eyes were also cold in this regard, and he raised his head at Xue Yunxun and said, "I don't know that you are the subordinate who doesn't understand the rules so much." After speaking, there was a faint sense of coercion on his body.
Xue Yun's face turned pale, but he didn't continue to chew his tongue, the person who could come out of this manor, the one who had no background. Although he was extremely uncomfortable in his heart, Xue Yun was not stupid enough to offend this old man for the sake of a Li Ding, so he replied: "The family teacher is the fourth elder Liu Yun, and the inspection of this manor is in charge of the juniors and a few fellow disciples. I just happened to see the junior sister and this ...... just now Li Ding is at the same door, so he stepped forward to say hello. ”
"Liu Yun's disciple, you are Xue Yun, you are really a talent. But I think it's not just a matter of saying hello, I can hear you inside as if you're trying to teach someone. Old Yu frowned slightly, and asked Xue Yun.
Xue Yun was somewhat surprised that the old man in front of him could say his name in one word, but the corners of his mouth were raised, and he said with a smile: "There was indeed a little misunderstanding just now, but it has passed now." I think the old-timers are in the same family as this Li Ding, and they still have something to say, if there is nothing to do, the juniors will leave. After saying that, he led the people behind him to the other side of the manor.
However, when he passed by Yu Lao's side, he inadvertently flicked his sleeves, Li Ding's eyes suddenly lit up, but he saw that Yu Lao's cane knocked heavily on his hand, and a strong wind spread out from the ground, bringing up a circle of dust. Looking at Xue Yun again, he had already turned the corner of the wall without looking back.
"How could he be like this, he dared to play such a little trick in front of Yu Lao. Hua Rong suddenly pursed her mouth and said to Yu Lao.
Hearing this, Yu Lao was stunned for a moment, and asked Hua Rong: "The wind that kid threw over just now, can you feel the little doll?" Hua Rong just smiled, and instead said to Li Ding: "Tell me, how did you see Xue Yun's Xuanyin finger." ”
Li Ding scratched his head, glanced at Yu Lao and said, "I don't know, anyway, as soon as Xue Yun flicked his sleeves just now, I saw an arrow-like pale cyan gas shooting towards Yu Lao's legs, but before I could call out, Yu Lao had already dissolved it." ”
As soon as Li Ding's voice fell, Hua Rong suddenly said with some displeasure: "I thought I was the only one with this ability, but it turned out that this was not the case, even Li Ding did, it seems that grandpa and master are lying to me, and said that this matter can't be said to people casually, it doesn't seem to be a big deal!"
"Shut up!" Here, Yu Lao's face was shocked, and he grabbed Hua Rong's arm and looked left and right.
This sudden surprise not only surprised Li Ding, but Hua Rong, who was the party concerned, was also so shocked that she couldn't speak, and her body reacted naturally under the pain of the hand she was holding. His eyes suddenly turned red, and a fiery breath burst out from under his clothes, and the pink flames swirled around, and there was a sound of wind. Suddenly, the flames surged up, and they gushed out. Between the lightning and flint, Yu Lao's robe was also windless, and a strong crackling sound came from the cyclone, and the hand that grabbed Hua Rong was instantly released.
One old and one young, one green and one red, retreated with one blow, and when Hua Rong was still shocked and on guard, Yu Lao's suddenly surging aura calmed down again. Seeing that Yu Lao had no other movements, Hua Rong gradually retracted her aura, and the pink flame slowly retracted until it completely retracted into her body, and her eyes returned to the black of the aura.
"I hope you don't mention what you just said to anyone again. Yu Lao suddenly said sharply to Hua Rong, and then said to Li Ding with a solemn face: "I hope you are the same, you must remember the old man's words, under any circumstances, you can't mention it to anyone." As he finished speaking, the ebony staff in his hand was gripped and gurgled.
Hua Rong was okay, as if it was not the first time she had heard such harsh words, but Li Ding was puzzled. Since he met Yu Lao, Yu Lao has always shown an amiable appearance in front of him, even when facing Yuan Cheng who bullied Yu Min that time, Yu Lao was not like today. But why did Yu Lao say such harsh words just for Hua Rong's words.
Yu Lao's status in Li Ding's mind is already the same as that of the tribe's head father, looking at Yu Lao's solemn eyes, although Li Ding was puzzled, he didn't ask why, but nodded seriously and said: "Remember, kid, I will never mention this matter in the future." ”
Looking at Li Ding's serious expression, Yu Lao let out a big breath, as if a stone pressed on his heart had finally landed. Hua Rong on the side also felt that Yu Lao didn't want to do anything to herself before, and opened her mouth to speak, but she heard several wind-breaking sounds around her at the same time.
In just an instant, the seven figures were divided into two sides, and the three of Yu Lao were already surrounded.
