Before seeing Ye Kexin's vigor when she was on the road, if she said that these flowers and plants as far as the eye could see were all planted by a ALS patient, how could Tang Muzhi be suspicious.

Ye Kexin is in better condition than anyone else when she is not sick, full of energy and fullness, and does not show fatigue when she rests at night, if she is blessed by God, she did not suffer from an incurable disease in such a flowery age, and now she may have made an excellent reputation in the international Go circle, and her master is appreciated and favored by the chief, and the future is bright and prosperous.

But Tang Muzhi had seen Ye Kexin's appearance when he was sick, after the disorder of Xingqi, the whole person suddenly weakened, his whole body was weak, his muscles began to atrophy and tremble involuntarily, and he had difficulty breathing, and even seemed to lose his original color.

"So I am grateful to Buddhism and Taoism, and to Chinese medicine and Western medicine." Ye Kexin still had a cowboy hat on her head, she unbuttoned the cuffs of her jacket and looked at the lines of her palms, "Compared with those who lie alone on the hospital bed and feel their energy and life disappear little by little, at least I can live as a healthy person most of the time." ”

"From the palmistry, my lifeline is short, and my palm prints are complex, indicating that I am a short-lived person, but I have so many people who care about me—that is, my parents and masters, who are constantly building connections outwardly, which makes my humble life heavy...... This is a method that Uncle Kui'er, the head of the Shuzi Gate, told me quietly, to entangle my fate with those whose fate is so important that it should be measured from the perspective of the world, when those powerful powers shake and change the future, and make the impossible possible, my fate may also undergo a transcendent change. ”

Ye Kexin also knew Chen Jinkui.

Tang Muzhi's feet were still stepping on the snow-soaked ditch, and when he heard the method that Ye Kexin had obtained from Chen Jinkui, he felt the cold air rushing to the spring point on the soles of his feet, and he looked like he had understood.

Making the impossible possible, this is the means of immortals, and in this vast land, one of the biggest secrets is - how did those people who ascended in ancient books change from an alchemist to an immortal?

The path to becoming a god is a major secret that even the "omnipotent" interior scene is disturbed, and it is as strong as the old heavenly master is also bound, and it cannot be obtained.

"Reincarnation Paradise"

Tang Muzhi has a limited knowledge of medical skills, and there is only one way he knows to help Ye Kexin in the end, and that is the Eight Wonder Skills.

According to his conjecture, whether it is Shuangquan or Liuku Immortal Thief, it can solve all the so-called incurable diseases in this world.

The Eight Wonder Skills are closely related to the road to godhood, and the reason why the weight of many people's fate is higher than that of ordinary people is often the reason for the intersection with this road.

In this way, Chen Jinkui's "hint" is completely good, even if there is no Tang Muzhi, as long as Ye Kexin takes the initiative to establish contact with Jiashen's people and things, there is a probability that he will be cured by Shuangquanshou or the successor of the Liuku Immortal Thief.

So Warlocks are a group of statisticians who know how to do what they want and what they can do to maximize the probability of success.

Ye Kexin stretched out her slender hand to caress Xiongxing, and then she handed the reins back to Tang Muzhi's hand, "It's here soon, look at the field planted with beans, and behind it is Qiu Daoye's residence." ”

It was now noon, and the two of them were leading their horses around the bean field erected by bamboo poles, and a wooden house more elaborate than Yang Lie's residence was located in the forest below the mountain.

The roof of the wooden house is covered with a layer of blue plastic sheeting, the water on the surface has not dried, there are fallen leaves on the water surface swirling, the corners of the plastic edges are fixed with nails, the high steps made of wood, the weeds next to it grow half a person high, a string of sun-dried red peppers is hung with wool on the eaves of the sunny house, the rafters have become the nest of birds laying eggs and hatchling, a white-eyed old donkey is snorting and gasping in the circle next to him, seeing Tang Muzhi and Ye Kexin coming, he walked around the circle like a greeting, and looked up at them.

Inside the house, the mud skin of the walls is peeling off the stubble, the ashlar paving the floor has sunk after being trampled, the ground is piled up with large and small jars, and the earthen stove is closed with a silver stainless steel lid to prevent the ash from falling into the large iron pot. Daoist Qiu wrapped his crane hair in a roof-like Nanhua scarf and hat, a thin blue blue coat was draped over his body, tight black cloth shoes hung on his feet, a pair of dark and frozen hands crossed to cover his lower abdomen, and his thin and narrow white beard moved in the wind.

Qiu Laodao was taking a nap. Ye Kexin said softly: "Dao Ye usually doesn't take a nap, and it is estimated that he will wake up in a moment and a half, let's not disturb him." ”

She turned around and unloaded a bag of salt on Xiongxing's back, and Tang Muzhi followed her movements to place the rice, noodles, and tea leaves one by one neatly stacked next to the stove.

"Let's go fold the beans." Ye Kexin couldn't stop arranging herself, she took off her coat, rolled up her sleeves and walked out of the wooden house, facing the scorching ultraviolet rays of the plateau and walking into the bean carob field.

Long beans crushed the branches and hung on the shelves. Ye Kexin followed the growth of the beans from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, and neatly broke off the ripe beans, and the means were skillful.

This made Tang Muzhi dumbfounded, he has always regarded Ye Kexin as a delicate and talented woman with a bumpy fate, who would have thought that she was not only planting flowers, but also doing farm work better than Tang Muzhi's.

It is ashamed to say that Tang Muzhi was a human being in two lives, but he rarely had the opportunity to go to the field, and he had always been industrious in the past, and he did not distinguish between grains, and then he read more books and knew the grains, but he had never personally gone to the field.

"Comrade Xiao Tang~ Why are you stunned? How dare you disconnect from the masses? In the blink of an eye, Ye Kexin had already picked up a stack of beans and joked to Tang Muzhi.

Tang Muzhi just got off the ground, Qiu Laodao also woke up at this time, he got up and sat on the kang and took a nap for a while, and then jumped off the kang to wipe the eye sockets and face door with a wet towel soaked in water, only to feel refreshed, he looked at the two young people who were busy outside the house, smiled, reached out and picked up a cup of tea from the kang, sucked along the edge of the tea jar, felt the heat of the throat disappear, and the muscles and bones of the whole body also trembled, he spit out the remaining tea leaves in his mouth back to the tea jar; Tang Muzhi and Ye Kexin were brisk, and when they finished picking the beans, Qiu Laodao shouted in northern Shaanxi dialect:

"Girl, don't be busy coming to me to see!"

Hearing this, Ye Kexin walked lightly to Qiu Laodao's side.

"Master Dao, I'm coming to see you."

Qiu Laodao looked her up and down, pursed his lips and nodded: "Hmm!" Qi is not as weak as before, but the blood color can't come up, and you can raise it okay - you brought the tall and strong guy outside? ”

Hearing this, Tang Muzhi stepped forward and saluted, "Junior Tang Sect disciple Tang-"

Before the words fell, Qiu Laodao's bright eyes showed a look of indifference, and interrupted him loudly, "Hey, don't talk about that, we don't care anymore, what is the name." ”

Tang Muzhi looked at Qiu Laodao, who was dressed as a Taoist priest and lived like an ordinary peasant, and seemed to understand how to get along with him.

"Master Dao, boy Tang Muzhi, a wild child who grew up in Gansu."

Qiu Laodao showed his white teeth and smiled slightly, "Is that still half of my fellow countryman, thirty-three years ago, I fled from Shaanxi to Gansu for a few years, and when the world was too peaceful, I went south to this place." ”

Tang Muzhi estimated Qiu Laodao's age, the old man at this age always does not use the Gregorian calendar, he said that the three or three years should be the Republic of China calendar, and the conversion is exactly 1944 in the Gregorian calendar!

Tang Muzhi wrote down this information, and the three of them talked for a while, he explained his intentions, and showed his yang god to Qiu Laodao.

"Phew—you're weird." Qiu Laodao's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "The inner Dan Gong you practiced? The yang god is very solid. ”

"Didn't I hear that your old man's kung fu is high, come and ask for advice."

Qiu Laodao smiled, "I have never practiced kung fu on fists and feet, what can I teach you practitioners?" You have to ask Yang Shen, I don't have any problems looking at it, I have a solid foundation, it must be a serious Neidan, just continue to practice in your way, what do you ask outsiders to do? If you want to learn from others, you have to find a master who is really capable, and you can practice when you have enough merit. ”

Tang Muzhi heard the sound of these words: Qiu Laodao knew how to practice after coming out of the Yang God, but he didn't know Tang Muzhi yet, he didn't know either, he didn't know it in terms of morality, even the disciples of Yang Lie's disciples didn't dare to guide it easily.

Ye Kexin asked at the right time: "Master Dao, you killed so many devils back then, how could you not have practiced kung fu at all?" ”

Qiu Laodao waved his hand and said with a smile: "No~ What are you doing if you don't have anything to do if you plant crops?" Practicing oil hammer and playing stone locks is a person who runs the rivers and lakes, and the joints are not good after practicing for a long time, and the yin and yang qi are not ventilated, so it will not last long. Our Taoist family is enough to nourish the body and blood, and if you run fast at that time, you can beat people hard, the little devil is not right, and I can't concentrate, and I will strangle several of them with a smoking, and I will run after the pinching, and the bullet will chase after the eyes, you see——"

Qiu Laodao pulled up his trouser leg and showed Tang Muzhi and Ye Kexin the scar on his right calf.

"Is this what the little devil did, my master has good martial arts, but he was killed in the city early, my junior brother is to save people, isn't it easy to run. I was the only one who was dexterous, and I was injured in this way when I first went to the Northeast to fight the Anti-Japanese War for several years - you young people don't know it now. ”

Qiu Laodao got up and saw the male star at the door, "Oh, I also brought a horse, I'll get a rope for you to tie it into the ring." ”

Tang Muzhi was not easy to refuse, Qiu Laodao had already started to stroke Xiongxing's head, grabbed the reins, and he meant something: "This horse is good, it doesn't bark, it's patient." ”

After that, he took the male star into the circle, locked him with the old donkey, hoeed a broom and put dry soil in the circle, fed the male star two troughs of forage in succession, and brushed the horse's back with a broom.

The male star enjoyed Qiu Laodao's service very comfortably, and raised his horse's head, causing Qiu Laodao to laugh: "Meaning - this animal, distressing (cute, distressing)." ”

"Girl, there is no firewood, you and this young man collect some firewood, and I will cook for you at night."

In the evening, Qiu Laodao set up a fire to cook, first cooked the good rice that Tang Muzhi bought in Li County, and then smashed the dried chili pepper oil to make chili oil, cut the beans into sections and boiled them, and then mixed them with hot chili peppers, and the fragrance came up.

"Na, this is your Gangu pepper from Gansu, the oil is full of flavor, you can see that it is shiny."

Qiu Laodao grabbed the hot small porcelain bowl with his bare hands and handed it to Tang Muzhi, who stretched out his head and dipped it, and then put it in his mouth to sip, well, it is a familiar taste, not quite the same as the spicy chili pepper in Sichuan and Chongqing.

Qiu Laodao also slapped two cucumbers, and the three of them had a simple dinner.

After eating without saying a word, eating silently, Qiu Laodao smiled at Tang Muzhi and said, "Are you used to eating?" ”

"That's going to work." Tang Muzhi put down the bowl quickly.

At night, when the temperature dropped, Qiu Laodao found an iron basin and set up a fire next to Ye Kexin, and the charcoal fire burned quietly, without seeing the flames and smoke, but the temperature gradually warmed up. The cold wind poured in, blowing a thin layer of white soot, and the charcoal left in the basin revealed the original lines of the trees...... This is the time of the night talk, and while Tang Muzhi and Ye Kexin have not yet gone back to live in the simple wooden house on Yang Lie's side, Qiu Laodao's words have increased.

Boil water to make tea, Tang Muzhi deliberately led the conversation to the place of Jiashen and Yangshen, the topic of Yangshen was not introduced, and he talked in the direction of Gansu and Jiashen, but it made Qiu Laodao's thoughts return to the era of chaos in the circle in the 33rd year of the Republic of China.

"The reason why I suddenly ran west from Shaanxi is because there was a mess back then, you know Yang Zhu - full fidelity, not burdened by things. Back then, there was a person named Rootless, the whole sex of the people saw him like Yang Zhu Patriarch who saw them, he worshipped like a demon, I heard that he was also anti-Japanese, and at that time in Shaanxi, I thought this was a character, so I ran to Qinchuan eight hundred miles to look around, wanting to see him. ”

Tang Muyi immediately came to his senses when he heard the name of Rootless, but he didn't expect that this Qiu Daoye was still a little entangled with Rootless.

But all the old people who experienced the Jiashen Rebellion back then avoided everything related to the 36 thieves and Jiashen, because in this matter, including the sect from which the 36 thieves were born, these famous and decent sects showed greed and unbridled competition, and Jiashen was the dark and bloody black history of these people, and they were naturally reluctant to mention it to their juniors.

Tang Muzhi was surprised why Qiu Laodao "unscrupulously" talked about Jiashen. Later, he realized that this Taoist master was completely out of touch with the alien circle, he had known Yang Lie for so long, and he didn't even know that Yang Lie was the head of the Tang Sect, so who cared whose face was light?

"Does this person have anything to do with the mess you're talking about?" Ye Kexin said curiously.

"Yes, how not." Qiu Laodao smoothed his white beard, "The root of this mess back then was this person!" I never thought that there was such a whole nature in the world, so that a group of decent disciples from all over the world could come to Shaanxi to marry him! ”

Ye Kexin's eyes are looking forward to it, it should be the first time she has heard of something rootless.

"I was forty or fifty people at the time, and when I heard this, I said that these young people really had no sense of proportion in doing things, and later I found out that this matter was not so simple, and outsiders would be broken when they got involved."
