Chapter 401: Old Man and Old Woman
Yang Chen shouted a few times, but no one in the room answered. I had to push open the rudimentary fence gate and enter. The door to the hut was closed, and after a few knocks, no one answered. Bing'er shook her head and said, "Let's go, there's no one here." Yang Chen said: "Why don't you go in and have a look! This hut seems to have been repaired." Bing'er nodded.
Yang Chen pushed the door in, and a ray of light was cast in the dim house, which was a hole in the roof. I was finally able to see the inside of the house with the help of this light. There is a small earthen kang in the corner of the wall, and there are two people lying on the earthen kang. When I got closer, there were two old men, one was an old man with white hair, and the other was an old woman with gray hair. The two seemed to be asleep, and Yang Chen and Bing'er didn't react when they came in.
"Old man, old man!" Bing'er sensed that the old woman was still breathing, and pushed a few times, but the old woman still couldn't sleep. Yang Chen took out the Blood Nourishing Qi Pill from his arms and crushed it and brushed it on the old woman's nose a few times, at this moment, the old woman suddenly moved, her nose opened and she took a long breath and sat up suddenly, as if she was a ghost who borrowed a corpse to revive her soul. Her face was very pale, and her confused eyes looked at the mottled wall opposite, and murmured, "Am I not dead, am I not dead?" suddenly looked down at the old man, her eyes were full of care and tenderness.
"Old ghost, why are you dead, why are you dead?" The old woman looked sad, decades of time have been in each other's hands, but now they are separated by yin and yang. The old woman was immersed in her own world, as if she didn't see Yang Chen and Bing'er's existence at all. Yang Chen sighed, in the world, this old man is dead, and there is no life, but the spirit is still there, and the old woman refuses to disperse. Yang Chen sensed it when he came in, for fear of shaking the old man's soul away, and used a vitality to stabilize it. The old woman looked lonely, and she had no love in her life. "That's it!" Yang Chen couldn't bear to see the old woman who had no one to rely on, and she looked lonely, but fortunately, the old man had just died, and it was possible to revive her, and he fed the crushed Blood Nourishing Qi Pill into the old man's mouth, and then with a flick of his fingers, a pure vitality was injected into the old man's spiritual sea.
The old man's spirit was about to dissipate, but under the nourishment of Yang Chen's vitality, it stabilized. The blood-nourishing qi pill turned into a rich aura and melted into the old man's body, just for a moment, the old man's body was full of vitality. "Ahem, ahem. The old man coughed a few times and slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw the old woman, he couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes, "Wife, we finally met in the underworld." The old woman said in surprise: "You, you are still alive." Then he cried with joy, "It's good if you're alive, it's good if you're alive." ”
When the old man heard the old woman's words, he thought about it and glanced around, and the familiar qiē appeared in his eyes again, and he finally understood that he was still alive. He also saw Yang Chen and Bing'er, their fairy wind bones, floating out of the dust, exuding a smart aura all over their bodies, which was shocking. The old man exclaimed in surprise: "I have seen the immortals, I have seen the immortals." He turned over and stood up and bowed to Yang Chen and Bing'er. Yang Chen's actions were seen in the eyes of the old woman one by one, but the methods of this living and dead person had already made her firmly believe that Yang Chen and Bing'er were immortals, and at this time, she also knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, and said uncontrollably: "Thank you to the immortal for saving my wife's life, thank you to the immortal for saving my wife's life." ”
Yang Chen said with a smile: "Two old people, please get up, I still have important things to ask." The old man was stunned and said, "The immortal has orders, and Niu Xiaozhuang has nothing to do." Bing'er covered her mouth and chuckled, this old man's name is actually funny, what kind of Xiaozhuang is called at such an age? The old man only said that there was something wrong with what he said, and he was frightened in his heart, and said: "This, this is my sincerity, and there is no intention of deceiving, if I don't mean to let me die of thunder, I just want to let my boss go." The old man swore a heavy oath Bing'er felt even more funny, and said: "Old man, you are wrong, we just have something to ask you, don't swear." The old man was a little calm, he touched his forehead with his hand, but there was no cold sweat flowing down, his heart was so strange, in the past, he was so frightened, even if he said a few more words, he would sweat profusely. What Ren Lao Weng couldn't have imagined was that when he was injected with vitality by Yang Chen to nourish his soul, he had already opened the spiritual sea, and the meridians of his whole body were also penetrated a lot under that vitality flowing, and at this time, his body was already as strong as an old cow, and it only took a little time to be worthy of a cultivator who had been cultivating for more than ten years.
Yang Chen said: "May I ask the old man, how many families are there in your village?" The old man didn't think about it, and said: "There are thirty-three in total, and there are only thirty-two left when Liu Laohan at the end of the village goes to the neighboring village to avoid trouble, hey." Niu Xiaozhuang's expression was gloomy and he sighed when he said this.
Yang Chen had a glimmer of hope in his heart, it was good to have so many people, and he said strangely: "Why do the old people sigh?" Niu Xiaozhuang said: "A few years ago, I don't know why it suddenly became dark, the sun and the moon were dark, the sun was gray all day long, the crops did not grow, the air here is becoming more and more unclean, many people are sick, there were originally more than 60 families here who fled and died, and there are now more than 30 left." Some time ago, there was a sudden strong wind, flying sand and rocks, and the houses almost collapsed, but then after the wind stopped, the sun and the moon were seen here, but the air here suddenly became a lot more viscous, and it was very uncomfortable to suck in, and many people went to the canyon, where there was a water stream, and I heard that the air was much better than here. ”
At this time, I saw that the old woman was panting, coughing continuously, and it was extremely difficult to breathe. "Wife, wife, you hold on, just wait until it gets dark. Niu Xiaozhuang hugged the old woman and burst into tears. The old woman panted and said, "You...... You...... You live well, I ...... I...... I can't do it......" As soon as the old woman said the last sentence, she fainted to death, because she had sucked the Blood Nourishing Qi Pill, she would not die like this.
Yang Chen suddenly thought that after the planet was broken, these hanging islands were barrier formed without the power of the planet's five elements, and the air here had also changed a lot, and the air change that Niu Xiaozhuang said was not actually that the air was viscous, but that the air here had changed a lot, and it was no longer suitable for ordinary human existence. The old woman's death was also caused by the air here, and she couldn't breathe.
"Immortal, please save her. Niu Xiaozhuang knelt down again, looking at Yang Chen hopefully, hoping that Yang Chen could save the old woman like saving him. He was opened by Yang Chen to open the spiritual sea to open up some meridians, and he was nourished by the Blood Nourishing Qi Pill to be able to adapt to this environment, at this time, there was no such feeling of discomfort at all, although he didn't understand the reason, but he believed that this was Yang Chen's divine technique.
Yang Chen glanced at Niu Xiaozhuang helplessly, he didn't want the old man who was already in his prime to lose his wife and be alone, he popped out a vitality again, this time he opened the old woman's qi sea, this is the reason why he can really breathe.
"Old man, do you know that canyon? We want to see it. Yang Chen asked. The old woman's complexion became ruddy, and Niu Xiaozhuang, who was sleeping peacefully at this time, felt a lot more relieved. "That canyon is not far away, just at the junction of our village and Huagu Village, I'll take you there. Niu Xiaozhuang said seriously, and he glanced at the old woman uneasily.
"Take her with you, lest she wake up and find you to worry. Yang Chen said with a smile. Niu Xiaozhuang said embarrassedly: "I, you see that I am too old to bring her, it is inconvenient, let her stay here!" Niu Xiaozhuang didn't want to cause trouble to Yang Chen and Bing'er, so he didn't ask Yang Chen and Bing'er for help.
Bing'er said: "With your current body, even if you carry a cow on your back, you can walk like a fly, not to mention just your wife, you can just try it." Looking at Niu Xiaozhuang's hesitant appearance, Bing'er smiled, flipped her palm, and the old woman flew up and down towards Niu Xiaozhuang. Niu Xiaozhuang hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, only to feel that his wife was as light as nothing as a piece of dead wood. Niu Xiaozhuang suddenly found that he was eighteen or nineteen years old again, and he was physically strong. I remember that I also hugged my wife when I married it home, when my wife was still as old as a flower, and her delicate body was very soft in her arms. At this time, like waking up from a big dream, my wife's body has become so withered, and I sighed.
Niu Xiaozhuang walked in front of the old woman with his arms, and he walked as fast as Bing'er said. He was trying to speed up, but he didn't expect it to be unimaginably fast, and he walked at one point, and he could float out more than ten meters in one step, like a cloud driving fog, and he didn't know why. Niu Xiaozhuang was secretly pleasantly surprised, his body suddenly became so smart, even when he was eighteen or nineteen years old, he didn't feel so alive.
Just a moment to come to a canyon, said that the canyon is actually a narrow crack between two peaks, about two feet wide, the sun can not be seen overhead, all is covered by the mountain, under the foot is a shallow stream, the water flow is very small, in the stone crevice, out of the canyon disappeared. Niu Xiaozhuang seemed to be very familiar with this place, and walked along the stream to the canyon, moving on the rocks, like a bird running. Turn a few mountain passes and see a mountain stream in the distance, the flowing water slides down from the top of the mountain rock to form a waterfall about a zhang wide, below the waterfall is a pool of water, the pool is not big only a few zhang size. Hundreds of people crammed around the waterhole and stretched their necks, deeply absorbing the mist, which seemed to be extremely comfortable.
