Text 1: The Old Man Comes (3)
The man was still standing there, his body intact, and it was obvious that the artemisia grass barrier had protected him just now. He completely put away his posture of fighting, and just stood there casually, looking at Lin Yufei with a smile.
At this time, there were three more people around him, two men and one woman. The woman looked young, with a delicate face and a slender figure, wearing a plain white Tai Chi suit, with a blue-black hilt revealing from her back. She stood there quietly looking at Lin Yufei, without speaking, and there was not much expression in her eyes. A young man on the side had just risen from a half-squatting state, and it was clear that the barrier had been released by him. This person was wearing a red sportswear, close to Lin Yufei in height and age, with a star-like face and a lazy smile, looking at Lin Yufei with a little curiosity in his eyes.
But at this time, Lin Yufei was looking at the middle person. Seeing him, Lin Yufei took off his defensive posture and truly relaxed. This person was wearing a gray robe, not tall, with five official squares, white beard and hair, but his back was straight. Under the silver-white sword eyebrows, his eyes were blazing. He was also looking at Lin Yufei, his eyes full of admiration.
"Teacher, you're back!" Lin Yufei stepped forward quickly, leaning over and about to salute, but was supported by the old man: "No need to salute, this is your era, and the etiquette should be simplified." You've just crossed hands with your senior brother, so let's take a break. β
"Senior brother?" Lin Yufei was stunned for a moment, the person from before had already come up, stretched out his hand to him, and smiled: "It's me." Senior Brother Lin, you are amazing, I heard the teacher say that you have only been cultivating for fifteen years, and you can block my sword formation, which is too strong. β
"Okay Fuyu," the old man interrupted the two, "sit down first, you have to get to know each other first, Xiaofei." β
"I know," the young man in sportswear squatted again, his hands on the ground, and a moment later there was a slight rustle, and the artemisia grass that should have withered under the ground grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, there were five more turquoise futons on the ground.
"It's a pity that the teacher won't let me, otherwise I will build this Taoist temple for you again," the young man's tone was quite unfinished, "It will be done in less than two minutes."
A knife slashed at the top of his head. The young man screamed, then shut up at the old man's somewhat threatening gaze. He grunted and rubbed the top of his head, no longer speaking. Five people sat down in one place, the old man sat on the top, and four people sat down.
"Let me introduce you first," the old man looked at Lin Yufei and pointed to the person who was doing with Lin Yufei: "This is your senior brother, his real name is Zhang Zhongjian, and he is also the oldest cultivator among your senior brothers, an old monster of more than a thousand years." β
"Hey!" the person who was named cried out dissatisfiedly, "Isn't this an old monster more suitable for you?
Lin Yufei sat on the side, a little dumbfounded: "Teacher, are you telling the truth, people can really live for one or two thousand years?"
"Of course you can, especially for cultivators," the old man smiled slightly, and his gaze turned to Lin Yufei, "You've been cultivating for fifteen years, don't you feel a little bit?"
"I thought sooner or later I would hit a bottleneck. β
"Bottlenecks will naturally be encountered, but the bottlenecks that your senior brother can pass over, and I'm afraid it won't be a problem for you, a person who can realize himself at the age of twelve. The old man smiled.
"Dead old man, can you not hit people so badly? Anyway, I have also been the head of a country, don't you want to save face?" Zhang Zhongjian, who was sitting on the side, said half-truthfully.
"The lord of a country?" Lin Yufei was stunned, his mind turned around a few times, and then he looked shocked: "Senior brother, your name is Zhang Zhongjian, you won't be the one among the three heroes of the wind and dust, right?"
"Second Senior Brother, you know a lot. I didn't have a concept when I heard it, but then they told me, and I found out about it after looking it up on the Internet. This time, it was the young man next to him who answered.
"Second senior brother or something, can you change the name?" Lin Yufei had a black line on his face, "It's easy for people to be ambiguous like this." β
"Hehe, I'm sorry," the young man scratched his head, "What's that called?"
β...... It doesn't feel like it's changed. Lin Yufei was a little depressed, and then he realized that he was in this position, and it seemed that there was really no other way to call it, "Forget it, the second senior brother is the second senior brother, it's a word." β
"Alright, don't worry about these details," the old man interrupted the conversation between the two young people, "anyway, you don't have to call it that when you do things in the future, I'll introduce you first." β
Both shut up at the same time. The old man continued to say to Lin Yufei: "As you said, your senior brother is the person you said. But we have an unwritten habit of having a pseudonym when we walk outside. The pseudonym of your elder brother is called Buyeo. β
"That's pretty straightforward. Lin Yufei wanted to say it, but the words came to his lips and he couldn't hold back. But the young man on the side didn't hold back, blurted out, and then made a zipper motion on his mouth when the old man glared at him. Zhang Zhongjian smiled beside him and didn't speak.
"And then this boy," the old man said, pointing to the young man, "and his name is ......"
"My name is Ye Fei," the young man finally couldn't hold back again, and then ducked to the side before the knife fell on his head, "Anyway, I'm here myself, just let me introduce myself, it's better than you to explain." β
"Lots of tongues!" the old man glared at him again, "then speak for yourself." β
The young man named Ye Fei immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Lin Yufei: "Hello Second Senior Brother, my name is Ye Fei, and I was found by my teacher five years ago. My natural way is not my own comprehension, it is taught by my teacher, so I haven't cultivated it yet. But I have a special ability that can speed up the growth of everything that is alive, as you saw earlier. That's why the teacher took me in. By the way, on the way here, I also thought of my pseudonym, just called Jing Hong, right? Second senior brother, you have to hurry up and think of your own pseudonym, why don't I think of one for you first, it's called ...... Oops!"
Another hand knife slashed on the top of his head, and the old man's face was obviously a little crazy: "That's enough! β
Lin Yufei looked at it in a daze, and suddenly laughed. Several other people looked at him inexplicably. "It's okay, it's okay," he quickly explained, "I just think that Senior Brother Ye and the one in my family are like nothing else." β
"The one in your family?huh~~ Second senior brother, are you married?" Ye Fei stepped forward again.
"No, it's my sister ......" Suddenly someone reached over and pulled Ye Fei aside and covered his mouth. It was Zhang Zhongjian, because the old man was on the verge of breaking out: "Teacher, you better hurry up and introduce your junior sister." β
The old man took a deep breath, and his mood finally stabilized. Lin Yufei also looked at the woman next to him. At this time, he suddenly realized that they had a falling out here just now, but this person never said a word, sitting quietly as if watching a play. He wasn't very good at communicating with girls, so he was a little embarrassed to keep looking at each other, and after a glance, he turned to the old man: "Is this a junior sister?"
Ye Fei wanted to speak again over there, but unfortunately his mouth was covered by his senior brother, and he could only make a whining sound. The old man smiled slightly: "It's not a senior sister, it's a senior sister." β
"Senior sister?" Lin Yufei was stunned for a moment, turned his head again to take a closer look at the woman, and then turned back: "Teacher, she doesn't seem to be as old as me, right?"
"She's a lot bigger than you. The old man laughed, "Do you know when I found her?"
"When?"
"When I found her almost a hundred years ago," the old man turned to look at the woman, "at that time she was cultivating alone in a remote place in Guigu Ridge. Her parents, who died in the war when she was very young, have no other relatives. When I met her, she was alone in the valley practicing swords, and she had attained enlightenment. β
"Senior Sister's cultivation, isn't it the way of nature?" Lin Yufei asked.
"No, she entered the Tao with a sword. In fact, she had just realized the Tao at that time, and I found her only when I felt the aura that emanated when she realized the Tao. So I asked her to continue cultivating a stable foundation there, and turned around and began to investigate her background. β
"Her background ......" Lin Yufei suddenly reacted, "There are not many people who enter the Tao with a sword?"
"All those who have attained enlightenment in the world are all coincidental. Therefore, although the situation of enlightenment is strange, it is all accidental," the old man said, "I was asking her about her cultivation method, and I thought it was unusual. β
"I don't even know," Zhang Zhongjian interjected on the side, "Is there really a fixed method of enlightenment in the world?"
"Yes. My teacher, your ancestor, Mr. Guigu, created a kung fu in his later years to enter the Tao with a sword. However, this method requires people who are very dedicated to kendo, and although there are many disciples under the teacher, most of them are knowledgeable and talented, but there is no one who concentrates on one thing. Therefore, until he was feathered, the disciples who had cultivated this path did not appear. But this method, all of us brothers and sisters have learned. In fact, I also dared to conclude after seeing this cultivation method. The old man said, "But when I met her, I was left alone, so there is no way to find her background, but she knows that Guigu Kendo is certain." She didn't have a name of her own, so I named her Xinlan. β
"I turned out to be the youngest. Ye Fei's voice came again, "Speaking of which, Senior Sister Xinlan is already a centenarian?"
Lin Yufei was shocked, and said in his heart that this little junior brother was really not an ordinary mouthy. I'm afraid it's bad to talk about a woman to your face like this. But seeing Xinlan's expression unchanged, she said, "Yes, my age this year should be one hundred and twenty-six years old." β
Lin Yufei and Ye Fei both opened their mouths wide, not knowing how to respond. Zhang Zhongjian said with a smile on the side: "The two junior disciples don't have to care, people who have successfully realized the Dao, as long as they are diligent in cultivation, hundreds of years old are not a difficult task, and more than a hundred years old is nothing." In people like us, it's a young man at all. Speaking of teachers, except for me and my junior sister here, I'm afraid that the junior brothers don't know who you are. β
"Hehe, I forgot, I'm getting older. The old man scratched his head, "Why don't you guess who I am." I've already told you a few clues, and I'll give you a hint now, I've had the same experience as your senior brotherβββ we've both been to sea. β
"Have you ever been to sea? more than two thousand years old?" Lin Yufei and Ye Fei were both stunned for a moment, Lin Yufei recalled some of the books he had read in his head, "Teacher, your real name should not be Xu Fu, right?"
"Xu Fu?" Ye Fei was stunned for a moment, clapped his hands and smiled: "Isn't it Yunzhongjun!"
The corners of Lin Yufei's mouth twitched: "Senior Brother Ye, that's just made up in the cartoon." β
"It's really smart!" Zhang Zhongjian exclaimed again. The old man smiled slightly: "What he said is not too outrageous, it really hit a little." The pseudonym I use now is called Yunhuan. In the future, when we act in front of people, remember to call me and your senior brother's pseudonym, Xinlan's name doesn't matter whether it's true or not, as for the two of you, if you don't want your real name to be spread, you can also give it a pseudonym. β
"I'll come first!" Ye Fei was eager to try on the side, "I just said that I thought about it, it's called Jing Hong, not bad, right?" β
"Think about it. Lin Yufei lowered his head and thought for a while, "Let's call it Qinglan." β
"Qing?Lan?" Ye Fei looked at Lin Yufei with a smile, "It's a good start." β
"The first direction of my cultivation is wind, isn't this a very appropriate name?" Lin Yufei said, his eyes glancing towards Xin Lan intentionally or unintentionally. Unexpectedly, Xin Lan was also looking at him, looking at each other, Lin Yufei felt empty in his heart, and his eyes moved to the side.
"Okay," Yun also interrupted Ye Fei's crazy words, "Next, let the teacher see the results of your cultivation in the past fifteen years." His body didn't move, but his ears twitched slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Our test is finally here." β
