Shen Yuan was really surprised, but he didn't know how to ask.

Hearing that the old man praised his name as good, Shen Yuan hurriedly said: "Old immortal, this name was given by my father, I don't know what it means, since the old fairy said it is good, it may be really good." In the end, Shen Yuan also laughed.

While he was talking, the tiger paced from side to side. Xu is fang was just lifted away by the sleeve of the white-robed old man in front of him, and he was unwilling, and he was thinking about how to take revenge at the moment, so he was hungry for these two people.

I saw that its tiger eyes were fierce, its front paws were on the ground, and it pressed hard! It jumped in the air in an instant, and pounced again! But this beast seemed to be popular, and deliberately pounced, and the waist and crotch were twisted, and the tiger claws were lifted upward!

At the same time, the white-robed old man rolled up his sleeves, and the tiger was swept away.

At that moment, Shen Yuan just opened his mouth to remind the white-robed old man, but before the voice could be issued, he was only stunned!

At this time, I heard the white-robed old man shouting at the tiger: "You brute, don't you retreat, you have to die!" His eyes widened, and two essences flashed.

When the beast saw it, it seemed to understand the human language again, and roared twice, full of unwillingness. Sure enough, he was about to become fine, and he knew that the person in front of him was not easy to mess with, so he roared again and ran away in disgrace!

Seeing such a god, Shen Yuan's mouth couldn't close. The white-robed old man called out several times: "Little friend, little friend?"

Only then did Shen Yuan react, and said again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare, old immortal, the kid is really surprised, offended, offended!"

The white-robed old man shook his head and said with a faint smile: "Little friends don't have to be like this," and pointed to Gongyehe on the tree, "That's?"

Shen Yuan suddenly thought that the old immortal in front of him might be able to cure Master's madness and internal injuries! He immediately knelt on the ground, bowed and bowed, and begged: "Please be merciful to the old immortal and save my master!"

"Is that your master?" the white-robed old man looked at Gongye and looked stupid at the moment.

Gong Yehe noticed the gaze of the white-robed old man, and with a look of fear, he stretched his head behind the trunk of the tree and hidden.

Shen Yuan replied, "This person is the little master! Master's illness will attack every few days, and the symptoms will not be the same. I heard the master say that it was because of the practice of the "Nine-Character Sword Sutra" that the true qi was retrograde, and then the poison of impermanence was added, which became like this!"

"Hmm, the Nine-Character Sword Sutra?" the white-robed old man raised his eyebrows when he heard these four words.

Shen Yuan seemed to know when he heard the tone of the white-robed old man, and asked again, "Old Immortal, do you know this sword technique?"

"Ah, haha," the white-robed old man smiled, stroked his long beard, and said: "Penglai Sword Pavilion's peerless learning, who in the world does not know? However, it is said that the mental method of this nine-character sword scripture has long been missing, not to mention that this sword technique is the secret of Penglai Sword Pavilion, how did your master practice it?"

"I didn't know," Shen Yuan figured it out at this time, it turned out that he didn't have a mental method, "and I heard from the master that he won a bet with Ji Wanli, the master of the Sword Pavilion, and he only realized it there for five years at once, but he only practiced the first three words." ”

"Oh, this perseverance is admirable. The white-robed old man's heart moved, but what he said was light and light, "However, if you tell me how he was poisoned and how to use the sword, I can give it a try, but whether it can be cured, the old man can't guarantee it." ”

Shen Yuan made this matter clear at the moment, and what he was thinking in his heart was that as long as he could cure his master, he could do whatever he wanted. When Shen Yuan met this white-robed old man, he wanted to grab a life-saving straw, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

After hearing this, the white-robed old man looked at Gongyehe who was cowering on the tree again, and said to Shen Yuan: "For your filial piety, the old man should try his best." ”

I saw the bamboo stick in his hand come out of his hand, and then I heard a "bang", and the bamboo stick went straight into the trunk of the tree that Gongye and climbed on.

The stick shook countless fallen leaves. The next moment, it was even more impressive for Shen Yuan's five-body throw!

The white-robed old man tapped the ground under his feet at the same time, jumped out, stepped on the slowly falling leaves, and walked towards Gongye He as if he was walking smoothly.

Gong Yehe didn't dare to look at it, Shen Yuan looked below, and saw the white-robed old man flying up, only two or three breaths, he approached Gong Yehe's body, knocked Gong Yehe unconscious with one palm, and brought him down.

Helping Gongyehe back into the cave, the white-robed old man stretched out his hand to take his pulse, but Shen Yuan didn't dare to make a sound, just waited silently.

After a few moments, the old man connected more than a dozen meridian acupoints, and then helped Gongyehe with one hand and sat cross-legged. The four palms pressed against each other, and for a while, both of them were sweating profusely.

But after a moment, the white-robed old man frowned, sighed lightly, and withdrew his palm.

Shen Yuan was full of worries, and hurriedly asked, "Old Immortal, how is my master?"

"Let's let the old man try again. ”

After that, he took out the needle bag from his arms, spread it out, and asked Shen Yuan to light an oil lamp and put it beside the old man.

took off Gongyehe's clothes, and only saw that the white-robed old man had nine stitches in turn.

Seeing that the technique was fast and steady, and the acupuncture points pierced were not bad at all, taking advantage of the free breath, Shen Yuan asked, "Isn't the old immortal a miracle doctor?"

"Don't dare to be, the old man is just Langzhong in the village under the mountain. ”

Shen Yuan knew that there were quite a few hermits in this Zhongnan Mountain, and seeing that this old fairy-like figure was reluctant to say more, Shen Yuan stopped asking questions with interest.

Wait a few more moments, and the needle is finished. See Gongye and sleep peacefully. Shen Yuan was also temporarily relieved.

The white-robed old man wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, sighed lightly, and said, "This impermanence and poison, the old man has also heard of it, it is made by Miao Jiang Qi Gu. The old man's medical skills are not perfect, and now he can only temporarily suppress the condition, but he still can't avoid attacks. ”

Shen Yuan heard this, and asked again, "Old Immortal, is there no cure?"

"If you want to say that this poison is fortunately ingested less, otherwise it would have become a walking corpse a long time ago. Fortunately, although the poison has been in the brain, it has not spread, I think it is the "Nine Character Sword Sutra" that makes his true qi retrograde, and inadvertently this impermanence is contained. ”

When Shen Yuan heard this, he didn't expect that Master's injury would be so difficult to treat. He arched his hand and pleaded: "Dare to ask the old fairy to help me save my master!"

"That's fine!" said the white-robed old man, "There is a fate between you and me, and I will do my best." ”

Shen Yuan was overjoyed and said, "Thank you old immortal!"

"So in two days' time, there will be a brook ten miles west of this place, and there is a hut on the bank, and you will go there to find me. "With that, go slowly.

Gongye and he slept until the next morning, and then woke up. But I don't remember anything that happened before. After asking Shen Yuan, he realized that there was such a high-ranking person living in seclusion around here.

If Shen Yuan has to take him to find it, it is better to have a fight. Especially after listening to this person's means of performing light skills, he asked himself that he was inferior to this person, so he was even more itchy.

I only listened to Gongye and said: "Good apprentice, for the teacher, please take me to find that master, you also know that Lao Tzu can't bear to be lonely, and his hands itch when he sees such a master!"

Shen Yuan sat on the ground, turned his head, and ignored it. Gong Ye was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and chased after him, "If you take me there, I will teach you the third layer of "Mixed Yuan True Qi"! and teach you three other sets of swordsmanship!"

"Master, you said that my foundation is not strong, so I can't be impatient and greedy!" After saying that, Shen Yuan turned to the other end, in short, he didn't look at Gongyehe.

Gongye He was choked by these words, and said angrily for a while: "Do you still know that Lao Tzu is your master?

"No, no, this ungrateful thing will not work!"

"No, no, Lao Tzu won't teach you martial arts, and will expel you from the division!"

As soon as Shen Yuan heard this, he got up and left!

"Where are you going?" Gongye and seeing that Shen Yuan was leaving, he was really a little panicked!

"Anyway, you want to expel me from the school, what do you care about me?"

"Oops!" Gongye jumped to his feet angrily, "I really convinced you!

"Really?" Shen Yuan stopped and asked back.

"Really!" Gongye said with a dark face, "Damn, just like your father, the stones in the pit are smelly and hard!"

"Don't talk about my father!"

"If you don't say it, you won't say it!"

Two days later, Shen Yuan said goodbye and went to the place where the white-robed old man said.

Before coming out, Gongyehe deliberately said that he wanted to retreat, and Shen Yuan did not doubt him, but in fact, Gongyehe had already made a plan, as long as Shen Yuan walked on the front foot, he would quietly follow behind, once he saw that person, Shen Yuan, the stinky boy, had no choice!

Shen Yuan followed what the white-robed old man said, and sure enough, he found the thatched hut by the stream. It's just that after calling for a long time, no one answered. He tried to push the door, and it squeaked open. It's just that there's a figure in this room.

On the table, there was a gourd, three books, and a note left behind.

Seeing this situation, Gongye He couldn't hide it, and grabbed the door and entered the room.

"Master, you, you actually tricked me!"

Gongye and the old man blushed and laughed dryly. Grab the note and read it.

It's just that after reading it, Gongyehe's face became solemn, silent, and turned around after putting down the note.

Shen Yuan was surprised, copied it up and read it again, only to see that the note read: "Shen Yuan Xiaoyou, the gourd is a pill made by the old man, one pill a day, a total of the number of full moons." Although it can suppress the poison, it cannot be completely solved. This poison is difficult to solve, this disease is difficult to treat, according to this inference, how long the master can live depends on creation, or one or two years, or more than ten years. The old man's medical skills are not good, but he has tried his best, and he is really ashamed, so he has no shame to say goodbye. I hope you will study those three ancient books for you. ”

Putting down the note, the depression in his chest was uneasy, and it took a while to come to his senses, and he said in his heart: "Master must have been disheartened when he saw this note."

Shen Yuan looked at the books again, which were "Tao Te Ching", "Nanhua Jing" and "Hug Puzi". He didn't know why the white-robed old man kept these three books with him, but Shen Yuan felt that it was always good to read more, so he simply accepted it.

He knew that the old man must spare no effort, if he wanted to be perfunctory, why bother to spend those weeks that day? It was always better to have this elixir than not to have it.

He returned to the cave with the gourd in his hand, only to see Gongye and sitting cross-legged on the straw mat, closing his eyes and pondering, silent.

As soon as Shen Yuan was about to speak, he saw Gongyehe raise his hand to stop, and listened to Gongyehe and said: "Put down this gourd, you will move to live under the mountain, and Lao Tzu will retreat." ”

"Master, how long is this retreat?"

"I don't know. In addition, you can only put the food delivered at the entrance of the cave every day, these days, you must be motivated in your practice, and you must not be lazy!"

Shen Yuan was at a loss, but when he saw Gongye and Zhengse talking, he didn't dare to refute, so he had to respond.

In the following days, Gongye took the pill, and the interval between the onset of the disease became stable and regular. Shen Yuan found that every nine days, Master's madness would attack.

But when he was sober, he didn't know what was being carved in the cave.

Until three months later.

On this day, the snow is falling, and the South Mountain is covered in silver, and the pines and cypresses are evergreen.

Shen Yuan came to the cave again to deliver food with Gongyehe. But today, I didn't hear the sound of chiseling. Shen Yuan was a little worried, so he went into the cave to summon.

However, Gongyehe disappeared again, and this time he walked with a sword. Shen Yuan counted the days and knew that today was not the day of the onset of the disease, so he couldn't help but think again: "Where did Master go?"

Suddenly, Shen Yuan's eyes lit up, how could this cave be much bigger than before? And on that rock wall, there were actually carved various sects, countless sword moves, and swordsmanship.

And on that mat, there was a secret book of the mental method of "Mixed Yuan True Qi", and a book of sword moves of the first three characters of the "Nine-Character Sword Sutra" drawn by Gongye He in these three months.

Tell him to practice the basic skills, don't be impetuous and greedy, and the "Nine-Character Sword Sutra" should not be lightly learned, etc., etc., etc.!

Shen Yuan suddenly had a bad thought, he searched all over the mountains and mountains, the villages and towns within a radius of twenty miles, and no one had ever seen Gongye He!

The snow fell for seven days in a row, and finally stopped.

At this moment, Shen Yuan was standing alone in the snow practicing his sword, but he asked himself in his heart: "Maybe next winter, Master will come back, right?"
