Chapter 33: The Strange Old Man

After Ah Gou left Maoshan Mountain, he borrowed the skill of the Taoist priest of Maoshan to urge "treading the snow without a trace", he traveled at night, and five days later, Ah Gou rushed to West Kunlun.

Looking at the towering Kunlun Mountain, Ah Gou's difficulties followed. Kunlun Mountain is so big, where did he go to find the "Tower of Babel"?

Looking at the towering and boundless Kunlun Mountain, Ah Gou really fell into deep despair.

When Ah Gou didn't know where to go, a white-haired old man walked down the mountain, the old man held a cane in his hand, and sang a song as he walked:

There is a sun in the east and rain in the west,

Don't talk about it, I'll see you in my dreams.

There are flowers in dreams that have been undefeated for a hundred years,

There is love in my heart, and I can't bear it for a while.

............

"Hello, uncle!" the dog stepped forward and interrupted the old man's singing. The old man looked Ah Dog up and down with his eyes, still with a kind smile on his face, it seemed that the old man was not angry.

"You're not a local, young man!" said the old man.

"Uncle, how do you know?" asked the dog.

The old man stroked his beard and laughed: "Young man, you came to Kunlun thousands of miles away, but you are seeking immortals?"

Ah Dog was taken aback again.

"Old man......"

Before Ah Gou finished speaking, the old man interrupted Ah Gou's words and said, "You want to ask me, how do I know that you are here to ask for immortals?"

Ah Gou nodded fiercely.

The old man glanced at Ah Gou with a look that seemed to see through everything, and then, the old man said lightly: "The outsiders who come to Kunlun are nine times out of ten to seek immortals. I see that you are in the dust, and you look anxious, and you must be the same as those people. ”

"Uncle, are there really immortals here?" asked Ah Gou.

"You shouldn't ask me, you should ask yourself. The old man smiled and said, "Actually, you already have the answer in your heart." If there are no immortals here, why did you come back?"

Ah Gou shook his head and said truthfully, "I'm really not sure if I really saw the immortals. The black-robed Taoist said that only by coming here can Rong'er be saved. So, here I am. ”

"Rong'er is very important to you. The old man said, "You have traveled thousands of miles just to save someone, so you came here without hesitation." If this Rong'er is not your relative, it is your lover. ”

The old man's words made Ah Gou think for a long time. In fact, he had thought about this question before, but he had never thought deeply about it. So much so that Ah Gou took it for granted that it was a matter of course for him to be Mu Rong.

There is no hatred for no reason in the world, and naturally there is no love for no reason.

Therefore, when the old man asked Ah Gou this question, Ah Gou felt that he regarded Mu Rong as his lover. But in front of the old man, Ah Dog is not easy to admit. When Ah Gou hesitated, the old man already understood Ah Gou's thoughts.

"It's a pity, it's a pity. The old man shook his head again and again and said.

"Uncle, what's the pity?" asked Ah Gou, puzzled.

"Do you think you can see the immortals?" the old man asked rhetorically.

For the old man's words, Ah Gou was even more puzzled. In other words, the old man's straightforward question gave Ah Gou a heavy fist, making Ah Gou face up to the reality that he had never dared to face, and when he came to Kunlun, could he see the immortals?

Since it is an immortal, of course, it is not just anyone who can see it.

Ah Gou came to West Kunlun with the attitude of trying. He's not 100% sure. Not to mention 100 percent, he wasn't even 50 percent sure.

Ah Gou's expression was gloomy for a moment, and he suddenly thought of a question, why did the old man ask him this question?

Furthermore, Ah Gou thought that since the old man asked him this question, it could be shown that the old man had a solution to this problem? Otherwise, the old man would not have brought up this topic for no reason.

"Uncle, can you help me?" asked Ah Gou.

The old man shook his head and said, "If I had a way to meet the immortals, would I still be on crutches and talk to you?"

What the old man said was the truth, and Ah Gou felt that it was a mistake to have hope for the old man. Thinking that the old man couldn't help him, Ah Gou was a little disappointed.

"But don't be disappointed. The old man said, "I can't see the gods." But I'll let you see the gods. ”

"Really?" Ah Dog was too excited, and put his arms around the old man, and he hugged the old man.

"Don't be happy yet, it's not too late for you to be happy when I finish speaking. The old man said, "I have a way for you to see the gods." As for whether this method can succeed or not, it depends on you. ”

"Uncle, you say. Ah Gou urged, "As long as I can do it, I will not shirk it." ”

"I know a 'weirdo', and if she promises to help you, you'll be able to see the gods. The old man said, "However, she will not help you for no reason." ”

"Do you need me to do anything?" asked Agou.

"She was an infatuated woman who had waited for her husband for hundreds of years. But her husband never came. Later, she decided not to wait any longer. She announced to the world that as long as a man was willing to marry her, she would follow that man with all her heart. The old man looked at Ah Dog with a wicked smile on his face.

Ah Gou instantly understood the old man's words, and quickly shook his head and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible." Uncle, don't think about it, I will never agree. ”

"Do you dislike her age?" asked the old man.

Ah Dog didn't answer, of course he admitted it. Don't talk about dogs, who you know, and you won't marry an old woman who is hundreds of years old.

"I can understand your choice. The old man said, "She is not only old, but also very ugly." Do you just want her to be ugly?"

The old man looked at Ah Gou, asking Ah Gou to give him an answer. Ah Gou shook his head, he didn't have the heart to echo the old man.

"Once, she went to the river to wash clothes. When the fish saw her face, they all died. The old man looked at Ah Dog and said very seriously, "Think about it, a person who will give fish to death is ugly, can you imagine how ugly she is?"

"Say no more. "I don't want to hear it." ”

The old man nodded and said, "I've been talking to you for a long time, and I should go home too." Boy, do your own thing. ”

The old man picked up the bamboo basket and left slowly.

Looking at the figure of the old man gradually moving away, Ah Gou's heart fluctuated non-stop.

The old man said very realistically, he only has one chance to meet the immortals. Whether Rong'er can wake up or not has only such a chance.

"Uncle, please stay. Ah Gou hurriedly walked over and stood in front of the old man.

The old man looked Ah Dog up and down with his glasses, and said, "Young man, have you decided to marry an ugly girl?"

Ah Gou nodded and said, "If I don't marry him, I won't be able to see the immortals." For the sake of Rong'er, I decided to marry her. ”

The old man shook his head and said, "Just say this to you, I can't take you there." ”

Ah Gou looked at the old man blankly, not understanding what the old man meant.

"This woman is ugly, but she is also a woman. The love that a woman desires is the only one. And you, if you want to marry an ugly girl, it is for another woman. Do you know how sad she will be if you let an ugly girl hear this? I really misthink you, a man like you is a big carrot. ”

The old man's words left Ah Gou speechless.

After a while, Ah Gou asked, "Uncle, tell me, how can I do it so that I can't be wrong?"

The old man thought for a while and said, "I have a solution, but I'm afraid you won't approve of it." ”

"Uncle, say it quickly. Dog urged.

"From now on, you can't mention Mu Rong in your mouth, and you can't think about Mu Rong in your heart. You must always remember that the ugly girl is your wife, you have to marry her, and you can't let her down. The old man said, "Can you do it?"

"Uncle, do you know how I'm feeling right now?" asked the dog.

"I don't know. "However, I think that if a knife were in front of you, you might not hesitate to commit suicide." ”

"Uncle, it's too cruel, it's really too cruel. Rong'er is my future, my life, and my hope. I think the motivation for my life is Rong'er. But you made me forget Rong'er, which made me even more painful than killing me. ”

"For a person, death is not the ultimate difficulty. "Or rather, death is the best choice for a coward." Because when you die, you don't have to bear everything. Didn't you say that Mu Rong is your everything? Since she is so important, if you want to save her, you must pay the price of ordinary people. ”

"Well, I really don't have time to talk nonsense with you here. The old man said, "I'm asking you one last sentence, and if you think you can do it, follow me." If you think you can't do it, just don't say anything. ”

The old man was about to leave again, but Ah Gou naturally didn't let the old man leave.

"Uncle, let's go. Ah Dog said.

The old man turned his head and stared straight into Ah Gou's eyes, and Ah Gou did not hide from the old man's gaze. The two looked at each other for a moment, and the old man nodded and said, "It seems that you really have to make up your mind." ”

"As long as I can bring Rong'er back to life, I am willing to bear all the hardships. Ah Dog said.

The old man glanced at Ah Gou, and said unhappily, "You seem to have forgotten what I said to you." ”

Ah Gou was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that the old man wanted him to start from that moment just now, Ah Gou couldn't mention Mu Rong anymore, and he couldn't think about Mu Rong in his heart.

"I haven't forgotten. The dog said, "Uncle, from the beginning, you have to supervise me." If I make another mistake, you will punish me. ”

"How could I punish you? The old man said, "The two of us have nothing to do with each other, and no matter what you do, I won't ask." It's just that if you think about the ugly girl, she is the first person in heaven and earth to value love and righteousness. You can't live up to her affection. ”

The old man led the dog out of the mountain while telling the dog. Not far from Kunlun Mountain in the bureau, there are more than a dozen houses, scattered here and there. After the old man entered the village with Ah Dog, he stopped in front of the door of one of the most dilapidated houses.

"From now on, you're going to give your whole heart to the ugly girl. Remember, if you slip through, you'll lose all your efforts. When the time comes, I won't be able to help you. ”

Ah Gou nodded again and again and said, "Uncle, don't worry." I remember them all. ”

The old man stretched out his hand and drew a circle in front of Ah Gou, and Ah Gou secretly went in.
