Chapter 16 The Old Man

Wu Qi and the girl fell from the cliff, and it was impossible to return the way they came. There was a cliff on one side of the lake and a forest on the other, so they went into the woods.

After walking for a while, the girl suddenly cried out, "I can't walk, rest for a while!" and then found a clean place to sit down. She had forcibly used the secret method a few times before, and her body was already very weak, and now she was able to get here, which was extremely reluctant.

Wu Qi also sat down next to the girl, and when he saw a few drops of sweat on her fair and delicate face, his heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but reach out to wipe it for her.

The girl was startled, quickly avoided her head, and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

Wu Qi withdrew his hand, smiled, and said, "It's nothing, I just want to help you wipe the sweat off your face." ”

The girl's face was slightly red, and she said, "Who wants you to help! ”

"Okay!" Wu Qi nodded with a wry smile, stood up and walked to the side, and found a place to sit down a little far away from the girl. The girl glanced at Wu Qi and felt that he was very obedient, so she ignored it, took out a pill and took it by herself, closed her eyes and breathed.

With the girl's pranayama, the surroundings suddenly fell silent. Wu Qidong looked at it, looked at it west, and was bored. I was thinking that I was not thinking about it, and suddenly I saw a pair of colorful butterflies flying in the grass in front of me.

Wu Qideng became interested, and his eyes kept staring at the pair of butterflies. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly noticed a problem. Although the pair of butterflies flew together and seemed to be intimate, they were always separated, as if they did not dare to approach each other.

Wu Qi was puzzled, and just wanted to catch the two butterflies over to study what was going on.

At the moment, he took two steps forward, stretched out his hand, and quickly caught the two butterflies. But the two butterflies were very flexible, and before Wu Qi's hand came, they had already flown to a high place, and Wu Qi fluttered into the air. When he looked up, he saw the two butterflies flying down again, hovering over his head.

Wu Qi felt that his majesty had been provoked, and he lost his temper when he landed, thinking to himself, if Lao Tzu couldn't catch your two little things, wouldn't he have lived in vain for so many years?

A loud slap sounded, Wu Qi opened his palms, only to see that it was empty, and when he looked up, he saw that the two butterflies were already flying above his head again.

These two butterflies seem to be deliberately playing tricks on Wu Qi, and they can leave, but they just stay here and lead Wu Qi to catch them.

Wu Qi caught it again, but the result was still the same, and the two butterflies made another provocation on his head.

Wu Qi was furious in his heart, and he didn't care if they could understand people's words or not, so he immediately scolded, "Your grandma is a ball" is naturally inevitable.

Wu Qi scolded for a while, his anger subsided slightly, he stopped paying attention to them at the moment, and was just about to turn back, but the two butterflies flew in front of him again, dangling in his eyes.

Wu Qi's boss was impatient, and thought to himself, this is your own death, no wonder me!

This time, the butterfly no longer provoked him, dodged Wu Qi's grasp, and flew into the woods.

They didn't provoke Wu Qi, but Wu Qi competed with them, shouting: "Where to go!"

The girl finished breathing, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she suddenly heard Wu Qi's scolding, and couldn't help but be surprised, and then saw him chasing two butterflies to the depths of the woods, and was even more surprised, and shouted, "Hey, where are you going?"

Wu Qi's "Wind Leopard Blood Pill" has lost its medicinal effect, and he is no longer able to walk like flying before, but the two butterflies are not flying fast, and he is effortless to follow.

He followed the pair of butterflies all the way, and suddenly saw a cultivated field on the dirt slope in front of him, and there were all kinds of strange flowers and plants in the field, which were colorful, but it was similar to the two butterflies.

He saw the two butterflies fly into the flowers, perch on top of a purple flower, and then remain motionless.

Wu Qi thought that the opportunity had come, so he immediately walked to the flower field and stretched out his hand to catch the two butterflies. Suddenly, someone behind him shouted: "Stop! If you are not afraid of death, you can move it!" The voice was delicate and beautiful, Wu Qi turned his head and saw the girl standing behind him, and said in surprise: "Why are you here?"

The girl's face flushed slightly, obviously in a hurry when she came, she gently moved to Wu Qi's side, and said in a deep voice: "These two butterflies are colorful, and these flowers and plants are the same, the colors are bewitching and strange, they are highly poisonous!"

"Poisonous?" Wu Qi was suddenly startled.

The girl nodded.

"Little doll, you have eyesight!" Suddenly, an old voice came, Wu Qi followed the prestige, and saw an old man walking out of a bamboo forest in front of him, dressed in cloth and straw shoes, dressed very simply. Wu Qi saw that he was already in his seventies, but he still had a straight waist and steady steps between walks, and he couldn't help but admire him.

The old man came to the flower field with his hands behind his back, bent down to look at the flowers and plants in the field, then nodded, and said with a smile: "There was a light rain yesterday morning, and I was afraid that I would die if I couldn't last night, but I didn't expect it to be a little more lush today." ”

The girl glanced at those flowers and plants, she naturally knew that the old man was talking about these flowers and plants, and asked, "Senior, these are fire spirit grasses?"

The old man nodded with a smile and said, "I didn't expect your little doll to know so much, this is the Fire Spirit Grass." ”

The girl said, "The fire spirit grass is hot, dry, and highly poisonous. Because of its sensitivity to cold and rain, this plant is usually found in desert areas, and it is difficult to see it in other places. ”

The old man nodded approvingly and said, "The little girl doll is right, but you don't know, the Fire Spirit Grass is a poison, and it is also a spiritual medicine, it is yang to the strong, if used properly, it will be the nemesis of all cold and evil poisons." ”

The girl was noncommittal. The old man was not entangled in this issue, and said with a smile: "The old man lives here, and few people come to the house, so I don't expect that there are distinguished guests coming to the door today, which is really gratifying." If you don't think the old man is shabby, please move down and drink a bowl of tea?"

The girl hesitated, "This ......"

Wu Qi on the side hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, where is your house? Let's go quickly! The weather is too hot, I haven't drunk a drop of water after walking for most of the day, and I'm almost dying of thirst!"

Seeing Wu Qi say this, the girl no longer insisted, and said, "It's okay! Then it's troublesome for the seniors!" The old man smiled and nodded, and beckoned, the pair of butterflies flew to his hand, he reached out and stroked it gently, the two butterflies flew to his shoulders and stopped, the old man said to Wu Qi and the girl: "Please come with me, both of you." As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the bamboo forest.

Wu Qi saw the old man playing with the two butterflies, and remembered that the girl said that the two butterflies were highly poisonous, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

At this moment, the girl tugged at his clothes and called softly, "Go away!"

"Oh, oh!" Wu Qi put aside the thought in his heart and followed the girl.

The two followed the old man for a while, and saw a bamboo house sitting in a clearing in front of them, and Wu Qi thought to himself that this was the old man's home.

The old man took the two to the bamboo house, opened the door, and said to them, "The humble house is simple, but the two of you are smiling! ”

The girl hurriedly said, "The senior is polite!" and Wu Qi followed the old man into the bamboo house.

The house has a bedroom and a living room, and the furnishings are simple.

The old man beckoned the two to sit down around a square table woven with green bamboo, and poured a cup of tea for the two of them. The girl thanked and took a sip, her eyes suddenly looked at the two butterflies on the old man's shoulder, and a doubt flashed in her heart, and asked, "Senior, why do your two butterflies always go in pairs?"

The old man's shoulders moved slightly, and the two butterflies flew up, circled around the room, and then flew to the window, and danced.

The old man kept smiling at the two butterflies until they flew to the window, then withdrew his gaze and said to the girl, "Because neither of them can live without each other, so they are always together!"

The girl was puzzled and asked, "Can't do without?"

The old man nodded and sighed, "Yes! While saying this, the girl suddenly noticed that a trace of sadness seemed to flash in the old man's eyes, and asked, "Senior, do you have something on your mind?"

The old man shook his head and said, "This pair of butterflies were sincerely in love, but fate played a joke on them, they can't really be together in their lives." ”

Wu Qi had been listening quietly on the sidelines, and then suddenly interjected: "Why is this?"

The girl glared at him, as if to blame him for interrupting the old man's words.

The old man said, "Because these two butterflies are highly poisonous to each other, once they come into contact with each other, they will be poisoned to death by the poison carried by each other." ”

"Ah?" said the girl, astonished, "such strange butterflies must have a great origin, senior, but I don't know what their names are?"

"Name?" the old man shook his head.

The girl was stunned and said, "Don't they have names?"

The old man said, "They don't have names themselves, and if I have to say they are, I'm the ones I did." ”

The girl said curiously, "You took it?"

The old man nodded and said, "Butterflies love flowers, flowers love butterflies, and they both go to Huangquan." I named them butterfly flowers. One is a butterfly, the other is a flower, falling in love and fruitless, only on the Huangquan Road can be married. ”

After hearing this, the girl bowed her head in silence.

Wu Qi was thinking, those two butterflies are so poisonous, why haven't I seen anything wrong with you standing on you for a long time?

He saw that the girl was bowing her head in contemplation, and that the old man was looking out of the door, but no one noticed him, so he got up quietly, went to the window, and looked at the two butterflies for a while, and saw that the pair of butterflies had stopped at the edge of the window, and suddenly reached out to catch them.

"What are you doing!" Suddenly, a stern shout sounded behind him, and the figure flashed, and the old man suddenly came to Wu Qi's side and reached out to take it from his wrist.

The girl's pupils shrank deeply, and at that moment, she suddenly felt an extremely terrifying coercion, as if even her soul couldn't help but tremble.

That seemingly ordinary old man on the outside could be such a trembling master!
