Chapter 18: The Nameless Old Man
The sun shines on the earth, giving birth to pieces of light. The stream flowed slowly, leaving a ripple in the remainder.
A man was lying on his back in the stream, motionless. The torrent surged and hit the man's face, scattering into white flowers. The man's hands moved, and then slowly opened his eyes.
This person is Chen Xiaomo!
Chen Xiaomo sat up slowly, but found that he was in the stream, and his clothes were completely soaked. He shuddered, got up in a hurry, and walked towards the shore.
He rubbed his aching ass as he muttered, "Where is this?"
But the scene on the shore surprised Chen Xiaomo, and he saw that the white-fronted giant tiger that was chasing him was lying quietly on the shore, with blood flowing from his mouth and head, and he couldn't survive.
At this time, Chen Xiaomo remembered that he had fallen from the cliff of the back mountain, but his life should not have been extinguished, and in the process of falling, he passed through the buffer of the trees growing on the mountain, and then fell into the stream, which saved his life. But the white-fronted giant tiger with hanging eyes was too strong, and he planted it by the stream, and he was dying.
Chen Xiaomo looked around, but found the medicinal herbs he picked up this time on the mountain not far from him, probably he forgot to throw them away when he escaped, no wonder he ran so hard just now. Chen Xiaomo walked over in a few steps, picked up the bamboo basket containing the medicinal herbs, and picked it up again.
Chen Xiaomo turned around again, only to find that there was a hole under the back mountain. A small stream runs through the center and meanders into the distance. On both sides of the creek is a rolling mountain range, as far as the eye can see. On the top of the mountain, the trees are verdant, and there is quite a natural atmosphere.
Being in this desolate place, Chen Xiaomo's heart was naturally bitter again and again, how could he go back if he didn't go to the village or the store before!
There was no way, Chen Xiaomo had no choice but to walk forward, maybe he could find his way back!
After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Xiaomo still did not get out of this mountain range, but accidentally found a cave under a mountain peak, the entrance of the cave was quite large, and it could accommodate four or five people side by side.
Trapped in the unknown, Chen Xiaomo should not have entered the cave again, because there may be unforeseen dangers in it. But driven by a strong curiosity, he made his way to the cave.
Walking into the cave, Chen Xiaomo did not feel a trace of coolness, but felt that the temperature in the cave was much higher than that outside the cave. I once saw many explorers on TV who went into caves to explore, and finally found the treasure. Thinking of this, Chen Xiaomo's heart couldn't help but move, and his feet also sped up.
After walking more than a hundred steps, Chen Xiaomo finally came to the end of the passage, which was a spacious stone room. However, because the stone chamber is far from the entrance of the cave, the light is also dim. There was not a single light in the dimly lit stone room, and Chen Xiaomo had no torch in his hand, so he could barely see the road under his feet.
Chen Xiaomo, who was walking cautiously forward, suddenly saw an old face in front of him, Chen Xiaomo was so frightened that he immediately screamed, fell backwards to the ground, and exclaimed: "Ghost!"
"Old man, I have been dead for more than twenty years, and you dare to break into my tomb without permission!" said the old man sharply.
"I, I didn't mean it!" Chen Xiaomo immediately knelt down and begged: "Senior, I'm sorry, I didn't know this was your tomb, I didn't mean to, please let me go!"
"Haha, don't worry, I have always treated the old man equally. The old man laughed.
"Then are you willing to let me go?" Chen Xiaomo was overjoyed.
"No one who has come here has ever made it out alive!" said the old man quietly, and then laughed out loud.
Chen Xiaomo listened, his heart was about to jump out of his body, he only felt a gust of yin wind blowing in his face, the old man's weird laughter echoed in his ears, and finally saw the old man's face pounce on him with a hideous face, Chen Xiaomo's brain suddenly went blank, and then he fainted.
The old man stopped, stroked his white and long beard, and said in surprise: "This kid is too bold, isn't he, so easy to be scared to death?"
I don't know how long it took, Chen Xiaomo on the stone couch slowly opened his eyes, but the first thing he saw was the eerie face of the old man!
"Ahh
"Boy, I'm not going to kill you, and I'm telling you that I'm not a ghost. The old man said slowly.
"Then are you human?" asked Chen Xiaomo in a trembling voice.
"Of course, I am not only a human being, but also a saint. I saw that the old man cleared his throat and continued: "Old man, I am the world's first genius with excellent Taoism - nameless! Boy, you can call me an unknown senior in the future!" The old man stroked his beard and raised his head and said, that momentum actually has a fairy wind and a detached appearance.
"Nameless senior. Chen Xiaomo whispered, as if he was trying to recall something.
"Haha, were you shocked by my nameless name!" said Nameless smugly.
After a while, Chen Xiaomo suddenly said, "Oh, I remember, Uncle Wang in the village once mentioned you." ”
"Look, I'm going to say I'm famous! Tell me, what did he say about me?"
Uncle Wang said that a few days ago, a crazy old man came to the village, as if he had a nervous disorder, not only bragging about what kind of scholar he was, the world's first genius with excellent Taoism, but also letting others call him an unknown senior, but he seemed to be driven away by everyone in the end. Speaking of this, Chen Xiaomo's face not only did not have fear, but there was a hint of a smile on his face, and he blinked his eyes and said to Nameless: "That person shouldn't be you, the senior, right?"
"Hmph, what a crazy old man, these people are so hateful, they dare to tarnish the old man's reputation!" Nameless blew his beard and glared angrily on the side, with three points of anger, three points of disdain, three points of blame and one point of pride on his face, like a child sulking.
"It's really a crazy old man!" Chen Xiaomo said in a low voice, and he couldn't help but smile a little more on his face.
"You, you, what are you laughing at!" Nameless said angrily: "If you laugh again, I will, I will ...... Eh, let me think about how to punish you. As he spoke, Nameless paced back and forth in the hole.
"What a quirky old man. Chen Xiaomo shook his head and said.
"Don't call me old man anymore, call me an unknown senior, don't you hear it!"
Chen Xiaomo was afraid that Nameless would hurt him if he was angry for a while, so he relented and arched his hand: "Yes, yes, Nameless senior." ”
"Hmph, that's pretty much it!" the Nameless snorted, and sat down on the stone couch.
The cave was extremely dim, almost unable to reach out to his fingers, and there was such a crazy old man beside him, no one knew what he would do in the next second, so Chen Xiaomo naturally didn't want to stay longer.
Chen Xiao saw the nameless movement, and thought he was asleep, so he tiptoed out. But after walking less than three steps, he heard Nameless's slightly hoarse voice: "Boy, will I let you go?"
Seeing that his escape had been discovered, Chen Xiaomo stood in place in a daze, not daring to take another half step forward.
"Hehe, nameless senior, you see that this place is so quiet, it is just right for you to rest quietly, I'm a hairy boy I'm afraid that it will disturb your cultivation, so you better let me go!" Chen Xiaomo begged in a low voice.
"Hahahaha!" There was a burst of wild laughter for no reason, and Chen Xiaomo's heart was furious. Then I heard Nameless say loudly, "No!" The voice was loud and hoarse and echoed through the cave. Chen Xiaomo's legs were weak and he almost sat on the ground.
I only heard the nameless continued: "I am an old man who has been in this cave for so long, lonely and lonely, can you bear to leave me here alone?"
"But I ......" Chen Xiaomo wanted to fight again, but when the words came to his lips, he was blocked back by Nameless, "Don't do it, you have to stay here with me honestly today, why do I let you go, you can go!"
Isn't this an overlord clause! Chen Xiaomo's heart was angry and anxious, so he was ready to escape from here while he was nameless, he was a bad old man who couldn't chase me as a young man!
"By the way, boy, don't even think about leaving here while I'm not looking. As soon as Nameless's words came out, Chen Xiaomo's heartbeat suddenly doubled. I only heard Nameless continue: "This place is so dark, and there are a lot of hidden weapons, without my guidance, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach the entrance of the cave." ”
Maybe it's the arrogance of young people, Chen Xiaomo probably didn't believe it in his heart, but he said again: "If you don't believe it, you can give it a try, anyway, I won't save you." ”
Although Chen Xiaomo was not convinced, he still didn't dare to joke with his life, so he obediently walked to a place not far from Wuming, looking forward to things taking a turn.
"Haha, obedient children are good children!" laughed Nameless.
Chen Xiaomo ignored him, so he looked around, but the light here was extremely poor, and all he could see was the outline of the nameless, the stone couch, and a bookshelf.
Idle is also idle, Chen Xiaomo chatted with Nameless.
"Nameless senior, you just said that you are well-versed in the past and the present, so do you know medical skills?" Chen Xiaomo asked casually, of course, he didn't have much hope, he just hoped that Nameless could let him out soon.
"Of course I understand, I'm a miracle doctor, just ask if you have any questions!" said Nameless smugly.
Chen Xiaomo shook his head and thought to himself, "This old man is going to brag again." However, he still said Wen Shaojie's condition one by one, "A friend of mine was born with an eye disease, and his eyes can't touch cold water, otherwise they will become red and swollen, and then he will be temporarily blind, as if it will cause headaches, and general drugs are also treating the symptoms but not the root cause, how should this be good?"
