Chapter 52: The Surprise of the Old Man

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The old man who had just woken up from the meditation heard a knock on the door, and then the voices of Zixuan, Ziyan and Xiaohu sounded outside the door: "Grandpa, open the door!"

"Okay, okay! Wait a minute, grandpa will be here soon!" replied the old man.

The old man felt that his body was very, very, quite uncomfortable, his whole body was tense, and when he looked down, he found that his body was wrapped in a layer of pitch-black hard shell, and his clothes had become pitch-black, clinging to his body. As he stood up, the layer of black crust that enveloped his entire body continued to crack, and then some of it slowly peeled off, revealing skin that was more radiant and vibrant than before.

Looking at the jet-black hard shells that fell off on their own and the more lustrous and vibrant skin underneath, the old man was excited, he knew that he had undergone a menstrual washing and marrow removal, and those jet-black hard shells were the impurities in his body that were discharged when he was washing and marrowing.

He knew that since he was injured, especially in the past few years since he lost all his strength, a large number of impurities had accumulated in his body, even if his injuries were all healed, if he didn't expel these impurities, it would affect his future martial arts path. However, how difficult it is to get rid of these impurities! Even his own injuries, he had never hoped to heal before he met Liu Rulong.

Now, his injuries have been healed under the action of the sea pulp, and the impurities accumulated in his body are discharged under the action of the sea marrow fluid, how can he not be excited?

You must know that since birth, people have grown up eating whole grains, slowly changing from an innate body to an acquired body, and then, whether it is muscles or bones, internal organs, are full of impurities.

This is also a problem that has been difficult for martial arts masters to solve, that is, they absorb the aura of heaven and earth to improve their physique, but they need to eat and drink, and once they eat, drink and breathe, a large number of impurities will enter the body; It's a reincarnation that doesn't understand.

Only when he cultivates to a certain point, absorbs more and more heaven and earth aura, and gradually and comprehensively suppresses the speed of absorbing impurities, can this person be said to be a master!

And in the process of reaching this point, it has to go through countless times of washing and cutting the marrow.

It is often said that it only takes one time to wash the essence and cut the essence, and it can transform into an innate body! From then on, the road of martial arts was smooth...... That's...... No more eating, no drinking, no breathing, if so. Only the dead can become masters......

And to the point where it can completely wash the essence and cut the essence. The lowest, maybe to reach the holy level, at least in his heyday, he couldn't do it.

Although he didn't know if all the impurities in his body would be expelled after this time of washing the meridians and removing the marrow, he knew that it would be of great benefit to his future martial arts path!

After standing up, the old man took off the clothes he was wearing, and then peeled off the layer of black hard shell that had not yet fallen off his body, and after cleaning his body, the old man put on a clean set of clothes again, and hurried to open the door.

Outside the door, in the expectant eyes of Zixuan, Ziyan and Xiaohu, the door finally opened. However, as soon as the door opened, Zixuan, Zi Yan and Xiaohu immediately fled in horror.

It stinks, it stinks!

A foul smell wafted out as the door opened.

This smell is even the most stinky weasel...... If you go inside, you'll stink to death!

Zi Xuan, Zi Yan and Xiaohu were outside the door, and they were smoked by the stench, and they retched and fled. In the distance, he gasped for breath, looking like he had palpitations, and his eyes were full of horror when he looked at the old man!

When the old man opened the door, he saw Zixuan, Ziyan and Xiaohu looking at him in horror from a distance, completely unaware of what was going on, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "What's wrong with you, why are you so far away?"

"Don't come here!" Seeing the old man walking towards them, Zixuan, Ziyan and Xiaohu shouted in horror.

Seeing this, although he didn't know what was happening, he thought it was related to him, so he stopped and asked, "What's wrong, tell grandpa." ”

"Grandpa, why do you smell so bad?" Hearing the old man's question, Zi Yan, who was already breathing much smoother in the distance, asked.

"Stinky?" The old man was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood, he just took off those dirty things, but he hadn't washed them yet, and his body was still smelly, but he had been in the room for so long, and he had already become accustomed to it, and he had lived in abalone for a long time and didn't know its smell, so he didn't notice it.

With all this, the old man couldn't help but feel embarrassed, he was so old, but he ...... The old man's face suddenly turned red, he was embarrassed today, and he lost such a big face in front of his juniors, it was really ...... But fortunately, in front of Zixuan, Ziyan and Xiaohu, others don't know, otherwise, there is really no place for this old face of mine!

After the old man asked Zixuan, Zi Yan and Xiaohu to find someone to fetch water and bathe for him, he immediately returned to his room, opened all the windows, and then added a lot of spices to the incense burner, hoping that the smell in the room could be quickly dissipated.

Zi Xuan, Zi Yan and Xiaohu watched the old man rush back to his room, and couldn't help but look at each other and discuss in a low voice.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"I don't know. ”

"Let's ask grandpa later!"

"Yes. ”

"Good!"

After discussion, they went to someone to bring bath water to the old man.

When I came to the old man's room again, the strong stench had disappeared, and although there was still some stench, it was harmless.

Although the servant who brought the bath water wondered why there was a smell in this room, he understood that it was not his right to ask, and left after delivering the bath water.

Although Zi Xuan, Zi Yan and Xiaohu had a stomach full of doubts, they saw that the old man was going to take a bath, suppressed his doubts, and left temporarily.

......

At the dining table, Zi Xuan, Zi Yan and Xiaohu looked at the old man intently, and the old man was a little uncomfortable by them, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?

Zixuan, Ziyan and Xiaohu shook their heads neatly.

"Then why are you looking at me like that?" asked the old man strangely.

"Grandpa, you seem to be different from before. Zi Yan said with some uncertainty, and Zi Xuan and Xiaohu nodded in agreement.

Since the old man took a bath, Zixuan, Zi Yan and Xiaohu felt that there was something different about the old man compared to before, but they just couldn't tell what was different, so they kept staring at the old man, hoping to find out what had changed.

"Oh, what's different with Grandpa?" asked the old man with interest.

"I don't know!" Zi Yan said dejectedly.

"Like...... It seems like...... It seems like...... It's better looking than before!" Zixuan said with some uncertainty, and then found that it didn't seem to be like this, and said, "No, no, it's young!"

After Zixuan said this, Zi Yan and Xiaohu also reacted and said, "Yes, grandpa looks younger than before!"

"Hehe!" the old man laughed, his injuries have basically healed now, and he has undergone another menstrual washing, which is naturally different from before, he looks a little younger, of course, he won't find it if he doesn't look carefully.

"Grandpa, is your illness cured?" Zi Yan thought of something, and asked a little nervously and excitedly. Hearing Zi Yan's words, Zi Xuan and Xiaohu's bright eyes also stared at the old man, and their eyes were also full of nervousness and excitement.

Under the nervous gaze of Zixuan, Zi Yan and Xiaohu, the old man nodded slowly. After receiving the old man's affirmative reply, Zixuan, Zi Yan and Xiaohu immediately cheered.

As soon as Liu Rulong came in, he knew that the old man's injuries were almost healed by looking at the old man's complexion. But he didn't expect that Zi Xuan, Zi Yan and Xiaohu would be able to detect the changes in the old man, so they deduced that the old man's injuries had healed.

After cheering, Zi Yan remembered something and asked well, "Grandpa, we went to look for you just now, why do you stink so much?"

Zixuan and Xiaohu also pricked up their ears, apparently they were also quite curious.

Hearing Zi Yan's question, the old man suddenly became a little embarrassed, and he didn't know whether to answer or how to answer.

The embarrassed expression of the old man aroused Liu Rulong's curiosity, and he asked Zixuan, "What's the matter?"

Zixuan told Liu Rulong what happened before.

After hearing this, Liu Rulong understood what was going on, and looked at the old man with a smile.

As soon as the old man saw Liu Rulong's expression, he knew that Liu Rulong already knew what was going on, and he suddenly became even more embarrassed, and then coughed and asked, "Zixuan, Ziyan and Xiaohu, how are you cultivating?"

As soon as Liu Rulong heard it, he knew that the old man was deliberately changing the topic, and he also understood why the old man did this, so he didn't expose him.

After all, Zi Xuan, Zi Yan and Xiaohu are still young, they are children's hearts, and when they heard the old man ask them this, they suddenly became excited, and said excitedly: "We have refined the first trace of aura!"

"Oh, that's it, Zixuan, Ziyan, and Xiaohu, you have to work hard!Wait, what are you talking about?!, you've already refined the first trace of aura?!" the old man exclaimed in disbelief.

He originally wanted to use this to change the topic, although he knew that Zi Xuan, Zi Yan and Xiaohu were extremely talented, but he knew very well the difficulty of martial artists refining the first trace of aura, he didn't think that they would succeed in such a short period of time, and after they answered, he habitually encouraged him. But when he realized that they had said that they had successfully refined the first trace of aura, his face was full of disbelief.

"You say you've successfully refined the first trace of aura, you didn't lie to grandpa, did you?" the old man's voice changed slightly.

"Hmph! Bad grandpa, don't believe people! People don't lie! If you don't believe it, you can ask the young master. Zi Yan pouted.

Zixuan and Xiaohu also had the same expression.

The old man looked at Liu Rulong, Liu Rulong nodded, affirming that what Zixuan, Ziyan and Xiaohu said was true.

After receiving Liu Rulong's affirmation, the old man's excited face turned red, and his breathing became heavy, obviously extremely excited.

Liu Rulong looked at the old man's excited appearance, and said puzzledly: "Old man, aren't they just successfully refining the first trace of aura, don't you need to be so excited!"
