Chapter 16: The Old Man of the Mystery
Bai Ling jumped out of the window, and ran forward with a roll, knowing that his internal strength was not strong enough to shake off the others, so he fled to the depths of the mountains and forests, picking up tricky bushes and jungles all the way. I only heard a few disciples behind me shouting from behind, "Boy, stop, don't run!" Bai Ling thought to himself, if Lao Tzu can listen to you and don't run, wouldn't it be a mallet. White Zero is thinner and nimble than the others, and can run far faster than others in the woods and grass. After a while, there was no chasing figure behind.
I don't know how long I ran, but it was getting late, and strange cries began to come from time to time in the deep mountains and old forests. When Bai Ling came back to his senses, he no longer knew the way back, but even if he did, he didn't dare to go back, if he was caught by those crazy people, he was afraid that he would have to kill himself.
Bai Zero simply walked all the way to the black, and went to the deep black. By this time it was already dark, and the only thing in the forest was a little moonlight shining through the leaves. Bai Ling walked for a while, but he couldn't catch his breath, so he had to sit on the ground panting loudly. After resting for a while, I was about to get up, but I heard a flutter of birds flying on the branches above my head, as if I had been frightened by something. I was surprised, only to hear the low roar of "huhuhu" behind me, this voice didn't sound like a human voice, it seemed to be inaudible and inaudible, but it was gradually approaching. Bai Ling's hairs couldn't help but stand up, and he didn't dare to make a big move at the moment, so he turned around slowly, only to see that not far ahead, there were several pairs of green eyes staring at him. Rao is Bai Ling has always been bold, but at this time, he was also pale with fright, not knowing whether the thing was a person or a ghost. Bai Ling's eyes were also staring at the front, not daring to move half an inch.
After staring at each other for a while, the pairs of eyes slowly grew larger, gradually exposing themselves to the place where the moonlight was shining. Bai Ling saw it really now, it turned out that these pairs of green eyes came from three wild wolves. The fur of the three wild wolves glowed blue-black in the moonlight, and their mouths kept whining and growling, their green eyes staring at Bai Ling, and their tails sandwiched between the two strands, slowly approaching. Bai Ling stared at them, his body was already sweating, and he thought to himself how he could be so miserable. Bai Zero, Bai Zero, is there anyone more unlucky than you in this world?
Bai Ling saw that their bellies were shriveled and saliva was hanging in their mouths, knowing that they were by no means so simple as passing by, and he estimated that it was a big meal in their eyes. Bai Ling complained bitterly in his heart, but because of his desire to survive, he immediately put on a light posture.
The three wolves' hunting methods were quite orderly, and their bodies slowly approached Bai Zero, and they actually formed a posture of horns. The white mustaches are all open, and they are concentrating on letting them take the lead. Hearing only a wild roar, the wild wolves on both sides took the lead in pounced viciously towards Bai Ling, Bai Ling concentrated, saw the two wolves pounced, and immediately used the stunt "Flowing Water Duel": the whole person instantly crossed out of thin air in the air, and the two wolves just pounced on it. This "Flowing Water Duel" is the essence of the light skill taught by Jian Ke, through which you can pose in various forms in the air to dodge the attacks of others.
Bai Ling had just dodged the pounce of the two wolves, and the other wolf saw that Bai Ling was getting old in the air, and then pounced on Bai Ling. "Damn, these three wolves can even cooperate, this is not much better than the bastards in front!" Bai Ling couldn't avoid it, and suddenly took out the short-handled shovel and stabbed it. The wolf thought that he could succeed in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect Bai Ling to hide a sharp weapon. As a result, he rushed too hard, and the shovel went straight into the throat of the wolf, and the wolf rolled to the ground with a "hmm", and it seemed that it was not alive.
The other two wolves saw that Bai Ling was fierce, and they were afraid that he would take out something again, so they didn't attack for the time being.
But the situation did not allow for Bai Zero to breathe for too long, and there were more and more low roars and green eyes around him. Bai Ling showed a bitter gourd face, it turned out that he was unlucky enough to encounter wolves. Bai Ling's brain flew quickly, and his eyes looked around, thinking that when they all came over, then it would be useless for him to be a Daluo Immortal.
Bai Zero looked at a wolf-free gap, turned around and ran with an arrow step. I only heard the roars of "woo woo" behind me, and the wolves ran after them. Bai Ling was so frightened that he couldn't care about anything else, and rushed forward desperately. Suddenly, he stepped into the air and fell straight down.
Bai Ling smiled bitterly, he couldn't imagine that his tragic life would end, just that, as soon as his eyes were closed, he waited for him to fall into the mud. Suddenly, there was a plop, and I was cold, but I turned out to have fallen into the water. Bai Ling has excellent water quality since he was a child, and he once had the reputation of "white strips in the waves of the capital" among his friends in the market, but he couldn't help drowning. Bai Ling's feet swayed like a fish, and after a few lifts, a fish jumped out of the water.
Bai Ling looked up and found that he had fallen into a cave, the top of the cave was not high, but he couldn't climb it with his own ability. Bai Ling is in a pool of water, but this pool is not stagnant, and there is a trickle of water surging underneath, and he doesn't know where to go. Bai Zero looked around, and with the moonlight from the cave entrance, he noticed that there was a clearing not far ahead, so he swam over.
As soon as he landed on the shore, Bai Ling vomited violently, thinking that he had suffered a lot of shock from falling into the water, but fortunately, his life was finally saved. Bai Ling didn't want to move for a moment, so he rolled over and fell asleep groggily.
I don't know how long it took, but Bai Lingxing turned around. Recalling what happened to me in the past few days, I feel miserable, my father has died and my friends have died, I have no way to learn art, I was bullied, I was driven by wolves, and now I don't know what Laoshzi is trapped in the cave. Thinking of the sore spots, tears kept rolling in his eyes, but he still rubbed them and said to himself, "Don't cry, don't cry, Ah Ling doesn't cry." ”
"Little baby, if it's uncomfortable, it's okay to cry. Suddenly, a human voice came from behind. Bai Ling has become a frightened bird recently, and when he heard the sound, his nerves tightened, and he immediately stepped on his feet, and the person popped out several feet away as soon as he turned around.
The voice behind him snorted, and it seemed that Bai Zero's posture was a little unexpected. "Fun and interesting. The voice followed suit.
Suddenly, Bai Ling saw a flicker in front of him, and a black shadow instantly stuck to his face, and the speed was unprecedented. Bai Ling was shocked, and then used his body to quickly dodge. Let's say that the black shadow is fast and abnormally fast, the white zero is fast but the black shadow is faster, no matter how the white zero flashes and moves, the black shadow always walks close to the white zero. Bai Ling thought to himself, isn't this black shadow much faster than the wolf in front of him, could it be a ghost? Bai Ling has no internal force to support it, and he is already extremely weak during the day, so his body will slow down after a while.
Bai Ling's physical strength was exhausted, he sat down on the ground, gasped and said, "If you don't run, don't run, if you want to take my life, take it, I don't want to live anyway." Seeing Bai Ling slumped to the ground, the black shadow no longer followed, but stood next to him and said, "What do I want your life to do, how good is your life?
Bai Ling was completely clueless and funny when he heard what the other party said, but at least he confirmed that this black shadow should be a person and not a ghost, so he said angrily, "Since you don't want my life, then what are you always following me for, do you know that you were so close to me just now that I was annoyed." ”
When the black shadow heard this, he was very excited, "You don't want me to suffer, I want to be next to you." Hearing the sound of the wind, the man instantly stuck to Bai Ling and grabbed Bai Ling.
Let's say that the two looked at each other, and Bai Ling finally saw that the black shadow was actually a thin old man with white beard, hair that was long enough to drape around his waist, and he was wearing dark clothes. Unexpectedly, in such a cave, there was such an old man, Bai Ling was speechless in surprise.
"No, no, what's going on with your baby's body. The black shadow pinched the white zero, as if there was something bewildered. immediately touched and beat Bai Ling, shouting. "It's strange, how old are you, what kind of internal injuries have you suffered?" Bai Ling saw him circling around him, so he said, "According to the number of days, I should be fourteen years old, and I have never suffered any major internal injuries." The old man said, "Then what's going on with your vein, my old man has never been unable to see through it, but I can only understand half of your kid's meridians." ”
The back and forth conversation between the two made Bai Ling's fear gradually subside, and seeing that this old man didn't seem to have the intention of harming him, but looked like he couldn't figure it out, so he told this mysterious old man about Jian Cao's statement that half of his meridians were necrotic.
"It doesn't work, it doesn't make sense. This sword is so flawed that it really makes people can't listen to it. The old man blew his beard and glared. Bai Ling was very surprised, and said, "This old-timer, Jian Ke is the number one swordsman in the world, how can you say that what he said is bullshit." ”
"The old man will tell you why the bullshit is not clear, first of all, although your meridians are not connected, but it is not necrosis, but he can't understand it; secondly, who said that martial arts must be strong internal and external, and the internal and external martial arts in the world have their own strengths, and there are more masters in the rivers and lakes who dominate the martial arts by relying on external skills, and he said that you will be too arbitrary in the future; finally, you say that this Jian Ke is the number one swordsman in the world?" The old man seemed even more angry when he said this, picked up a branch from the ground casually, and said, "Look!" Suddenly there was a wave of it, Bai Ling couldn't see how the old man made a move, only for a moment, the old man returned to Bai Ling, at first Bai Ling didn't see clearly, only to see the old man shake the branch in his hand, and there were four leaves clearly inserted on the branch. The old man said proudly, "Just now, I used a branch to insert a leaf on each of your four trees, south, east, and west. Bai Ling's eyes widened and he exclaimed loudly, "Senior is good kung fu!"
In fact, although this old man's shot was fast and accurate, the sword harsh swordsmanship may not lose to him, but the old man's kung fu was displayed in front of a young man like Bai Ling, and it had its own element of showing off his skills, so that Bai Ling couldn't close his mouth when he saw it.
Bai Ling saw that the old man's martial arts were so strong, as if he was holding a life-saving straw, and asked, "Old man, then you said that my meridians are not necrotic, then can you save me." The old man shook his head and said, "No, I can't read your meridians." Bai Ling felt teased, and said angrily, "You old man, you are pure here, and you can't do it for a long time, so what about you saying that you are entertaining me so much." ”
The old man Xuanji said, "Can you be respectful when you talk about this baby, I am the old man Xuanji." Actually, I don't blame you, although I can't understand your meridians, but from my sixty years of martial arts experience, there is absolutely no necrosis. And I also said, if you can't do internal skills, it doesn't mean that you can't do martial arts, if you practice a lot in external skills, you will still run rampant in the world. ”
Bai Ling said, "What are you talking nonsense, I have been practicing light gong hard recently, and I know that if there is no internal strength support, the performance of light gong will still be subject to a lot of restrictions, and the biggest problem is that it cannot last." The old man stroked his beard and said, "Then if your external skills are fast and strong enough, and you can defeat the enemy with just one move, what else do you want to do for that lasting?"
Bai Ling was stunned, thinking that this is true, if my martial arts are extremely high, and I can defeat the enemy with one move, then what do I need to do with strong internal strength. But after thinking about it, it was not right, and he replied, "Then if I slap the enemy with one palm, what is the use of not being able to hurt people if I have no strength, do you tickle people?"
The old man Xuanji scolded angrily, "You baby is extremely stupid, that's why you have to learn the sword, even if the enemy comes with all kinds of moves, you will stab the opponent in one move, then there is no need to fight this fight." As soon as Bai Ling heard this, this was like an initiation, and the words of this mysterious old man actually pointed to the biggest problem in his heart for months.
Bai Ling rolled the old man's words in his mind, and suddenly became clear. immediately knelt down and kowtowed to him, "Senior, boy, I have a deep hatred in the sea of blood, and I hope that my seniors can guide me in some martial arts, so that I can get revenge." ”
How do you know that this mysterious old man's personality is also eccentric, and he talked so much to Bai Ling before, but when he saw Bai Ling kneeling and kowtowing, he replied with a smile, "Don't teach, don't teach, you have a blood feud What do you have to do with me." "Bai Zero is eager, pleading in every way. But the old man's temper is also very stubborn, unmoved, the more Bai Ling asks, the more he does not teach, and the shelf is put up.
Bai Ling couldn't, after a tired day and his stomach was hungry and hungry, he was a little drowsy, so he sat down and rested against the cave wall, ignoring him.
The mysterious old man saw Bai Ling sitting in the corner and didn't speak anymore and stopped begging him, and his heart was a little itchy. After pacing for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Little baby, I don't know what your name is, why did you jump off the cave at night?"
Bai Ling replied weakly, "My name is Bai Ling, and the reason why I jumped down from the cave is to see if you, the old man, are dead." ”
Seeing that Bai Ling came to talk to him again, this mysterious old man was extremely happy, and continued to ask, "You don't recognize me, don't talk nonsense, you may not be troubled when I am alive, and you may not be happy when I die." Speak well, why are you here? Bai Ling saw that as long as this old man was arguing with him, he would communicate smoothly and say everything, but if he had something to ask him, he would put on a shelf and not agree, so he simply squeezed this mysterious old man every time he said a word, and the conversation between the two suddenly became smoother.
Bai Ling slowly told this mysterious old man about his life experience, how he encountered accidents, and then threw himself into the Thousand Machine Gate, and finally unfortunately fell here. Bai Lingling's teeth are sharp, telling the story vividly, the old man listens very seriously, as if he is in the scene, and gives comments from time to time, and comes to a sentence for a while: This sword is a mildew star in the sky, how can I see him It's not a good thing; But when Bai Ling talked about Mr. Guo Liangyu, the old man's body was shocked, and he was silent for a long time.
After Bai Ling's story was finished, he said that it was actually a pure accident when he arrived here, but seeing that the old man was still silent, he said angrily, "What's wrong with you old man, you didn't say a word, I spent so much saliva that you would make a sound." ”
The old man sighed softly, but asked Bai Ling a completely nonsensical question.
"If you can only choose one of the world's number one name and the world's favorite person, which one do you choose?"
Bai Ling is young, and he is still a little hazy about the affairs of men and women, let alone fighting for power and profit, and he doesn't fully understand what he means.
Bai Ling paused and said, "I choose the person I love in the world." ”
The old man Xuanji thought that Bai Ling kept begging him to teach him martial arts, and he would definitely choose the name of the number one in the world, who would have thought that this young man's answer was completely beyond his expectations. After listening to Bai Ling's answer, the old man Xuanji kept muttering to himself, "Choose the person you love most in the world, choose the person you love most in the world." After a while, he began to cry.
Bai Ling Daqi, what's wrong with this old man, I'm afraid he is not a madman. I only heard the old man sigh and say, "This is a truth that even a little baby understands." ”
