Chapter 23 The Old Man Sweeping the Floor
There is a trail in the mountain behind Tongtian Peak, except for the rotating disciples who guard the forbidden place on weekdays, there are basically few people, but today there is a black figure that breaks the tranquility of this place.
Lin Zhuo dragged [Jiuyan], biting a bun in his mouth, and walked on the road with a big grin.
was called to see Dao Xuan early in the morning, and then he was sent to the Houshan ancestral hall to find someone, but he didn't say his name, only said that he would naturally know if he went.
She swallowed the bun in two bites, turned around and took out a small pot of wine, and quickly poured it.
After walking for half an hour, two forks in the road appeared in front of him, which stumped Lin Zhuo, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't know where to go, so he picked a tree stump on the side of the road and sat down, ready to rest.
Placing the flask beside her, she held up her head and was stunned.
It's been a long time since I've seen Senior Sister Lu, and I still miss it in my heart.
There is also the water unicorn, when you have achieved your own cultivation in the future, you must definitely beat it once and let it drench yourself in water.
Alas, I really don't want to move.
.........
For a while, she seemed to have forgotten what Dao Xuan had explained, she was so tired and lazy, if she let Shui Yue see it, she would have to be punished again.
And just as she was emptying herself, a figure slowly turned from a small path.
Lin Zhuo turned his back to that side, but he didn't pay attention at all.
The man approached, but it was the old man in the ancestral hall yesterday evening.
He looked at Lin Zhuo's back, sniffed lightly and glanced at the wine jug beside Lin Zhuo, then walked over, and reached out to get the wine jug with a slight frown.
Lin Zhuo didn't notice someone until he saw a thin hand coming from behind his back out of the corner of his eye, and when he saw that the hand was still coming towards his baby wine jug, he suddenly felt slightly angry in his heart.
"Good thief!"
With a light shout, he didn't look at the person behind him, and the Jiuyan in his hand smashed it with a sheath.
This time it wasn't like smashing the water unicorn last night, but it was full of strength.
Anyway, in her head, she doesn't allow others to get involved with wine, which has been with her for the past few years.
"Huh? Jiuyan?"
The person behind him was slightly surprised, but he didn't panic in the slightest, and with a push of his hand, he grabbed the [Jiuyan] sheath in his hand, and took the wine jug beside Lin Zhuo with the other hand.
Lin Zhuo felt the force coming from the sword body like a mountain, making him unable to move an inch, and he was slightly surprised.
Turning his head to look, he saw an old man in coarse linen clothes holding a long sword in one hand, but holding a wine jug in the other, sniffing carefully, revealing a hint of intoxication.
Lin Zhuo tugged harder twice, but the old man's thin hand didn't move as if steel was poured, she couldn't help but be a little anxious, she simply gave up the scabbard, raised her hand and pulled out the long sword.
Recently, the mana that had been strictly forbidden by Dao Xuan Zhenren was injected into the long sword under the circulation of the whole body.
With a soft roar, the long sword suddenly flowed with purple light, and Lin Zhuo looked at the old man who was still doing his own thing, and slashed it with a sword swing in a flash.
Seeing this, the old man shook his head slightly, and said, "How can a girl be like a reckless man, cutting people without asking." ”
As he spoke, his figure was fluttering, dodging the oncoming sword.
Seeing this, Lin Zhuo was even faster than a sword.
It doesn't matter who you are, dare to take my wine, except for Master Shuiyue in this Qingyun Gate, there is nothing I dare not split!
Unexpectedly, half an hour later, Lin Zhuo was tired and half dead, but he still didn't touch the corner of the old man's clothes, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed, threw the sword casually, and said angrily: "If you don't fight, you won't fight!"
Seeing this, the old man chuckled, and said, "Just your random chopping, don't want to touch me in the next life." ”
...
Lin Zhuo was silent for a while, after all, his skills were not as good as others.
After pondering for a moment, she turned on the mouth escape mode.
"Give me back my wine, old man, and I won't bother with you. She looked up slightly.
When the old man heard this, he carefully glanced at the [Jiuyan] in Lin Zhuo's hand and Lin Zhuo's complexion, and then chuckled and said, "You are the child that Dao Xuan said?"
???
Lin Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what he was here for.
He glanced at the old man with a little doubt, and said suspiciously: "Could it be... You're the one who asked me to come to the house?"
Seeing the old man's noncommittal expression, she was slightly surprised.
After taking a closer look at the old man, he saw that this person was like an ordinary old man, his face was wrinkled, and he couldn't see the slightest brilliance.
But she didn't dare to treat this person as an ordinary person, she now has the cultivation of the sixth layer of the 'Taiji Xuanqing Dao', which can be regarded as a small master, but in front of this person, there seems to be no way at all.
Moreover, this old man called Dao Xuan Zhenren's name again, and he was in the mountain behind this Tongtian Peak.
Hiss...
She gasped, but a name popped into her mind.
Ten Thousand Swords?!!!
The absolute sweeping monk in Zhu Xian.
Seeing that the man wiped the spout of the wine jug with his cuff at this time, he didn't care that Lin Zhuo had drunk it, he raised his head and poured it, and then slowly exhaled and sighed: "How long has it been? It seems like more than a hundred years, I haven't tasted this for more than a hundred years." ”
When Lin Zhuo heard this, the more sure she was of her judgment, the more she didn't dare to ask for wine anymore, anyway, she had some from Xiao Yicai.
The old man took two more sips, but he smiled at Lin Zhuo, and said heartily: "Don't mind, girl, I haven't been in contact with people for a long time, old man, maybe I haven't tasted the contents of this cup for a long time, but I have a little gaffe." ”
As if a little embarrassed, the old man continued: "Don't worry, as soon as I see you, I will understand why Dao Xuan asked you to come to me, drink your pot of wine, I will solve your problems for you, come with me." ”
shook his head again and chuckled, and said to himself: "Dao Xuan, this guy, still loves face as much as he did when he was young, and he can't say a single word 'ask'." ”
After saying that, he shook his head, but turned around and walked towards the way he came.
Seeing this, Lin Zhuo hurriedly picked up [Jiuyan] and followed, and that little expression was really cowardly and obedient at this time.
"What's your name?" asked the old man without replying.
Lin Zhuo said with a little restraint: "Senior, junior is Lin Zhuo, a disciple of Xiaozhufeng. ”
"Lin Zhuo, good name!"
The man sighed, and said no more.
Lin Zhuo rolled his eyes in his heart, and wanted to ask back what was good, but after thinking about it, he was still using a sword to cut people just now, and it was better to leave a good impression at this time, after all, he still had something to ask for others.
And listening to the old man's tone, it seems that his own problems are not a problem at all with him, and he can solve them with a raise of his hand.
Thinking of this, she opened her mouth and asked again, "I don't know what the name of the predecessor is?"
When the old man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, casually threw away the empty wine jug he had drunk, and said after a long time: "I forgot it for a long time, you just call me old man, I heard you call me at that time, and I think it's quite good." ”
In a few words, the two of them bypassed a forest, and Lin Zhuo only felt that the light in front of him suddenly brightened.
I saw a large hall standing alone in an open space, and I smelled a smell of incense in the distance.
Half of the open space in front of the temple was clean, but the other half was piled up with fallen leaves, and there was a broom leaning against a tree next to it. Obviously, the old man heard the movement in the middle of cleaning, so he put down the broom and came over to take a look.
The old man pointed to the stone table beside him and motioned for Lin Zhuo to wait, then picked up the broom and continued to clean up the fallen leaves last night.
The yellow leaves were a little naughty, rolling in the breeze from time to time, and the old man was not in a hurry, but stepped forward again and gathered together carefully.
Lin Zhuo didn't know why, but he was quiet for a while, quietly watching the old man sweep the fallen leaves all over the ground.
"How long have you been up the mountain?"
The old man asked suddenly.
"It's been almost seven years. Lin Zhuo replied truthfully.
The old man was slightly surprised, glanced at Lin Zhuo, and then said, "It took seven years to cultivate the 'Taiji Xuanqing Dao' to the sixth layer, no wonder they will pass on the [Jiuyan] to you." ”
Stopping the sweeping action in his hand, he seemed to hesitate about something, frowned, and asked again after a long time: "You are a disciple of Xiaozhufeng, do you know that Shui Yue and... Su Ru, are they okay?"
When Lin Zhuo heard this, he was slightly surprised in his heart, this old man really lived in seclusion here, and he didn't know anything about the outside world?
So he replied honestly: "Master Shuiyue is the family teacher, and now he is the first seat of Xiaozhu Peak, and it is not easy for Uncle Su Ru to marry the first field of Big Bamboo Peak." ”
Hearing this, the old man's hand holding the broom shook slightly, and after a long time, he smiled bitterly and muttered, "Senior Brother Tian? Although Senior Brother Tian seems to be wooden, he is a rare person who is a good match!"
Lin Zhuo showed a strange expression, glanced at the old man, and thought of the short and fat man Tian Buyi.
This... It seems to be a bit of a story.
