Chapter Eighty-Three: The Truth
"Old man, you haven't rested yet?" Lin Qiuzhi smiled slightly and walked slowly.
"yes, I'm here... Boom. Looking at the approaching Lin Qiuzhi, the old man's face froze, his crutches fell to the ground, and he unconsciously retreated again and again.
Han Yuqing looked at him and frowned.
Lin Qiuzhi was also startled, and stepped forward again and again to help, saying, "Old man, what's wrong with you." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he held the old man, he held his hand with his backhand and looked at his hand in a daze.
Lin Qiuzhi didn't know why, but the old woman caught up at this moment, looked at the old man, and said, "Old man, what are you doing." ”
Unexpectedly, after the old woman came up, she looked at Lin Qiuzhi's hand, her face was shocked, and then she looked at him and was speechless.
Lin Qiuzhi was stunned for a moment, glanced at Han Yuqing on the side, and saw that she didn't know why, so he moved his gaze to the two old men again, and said, "Old man, what's wrong with you." ”
The old man looked at his hand and looked through it again and again, as if he had determined something, and suddenly, he knelt down in front of Lin Qiuzhi.
Lin Qiuzhi and Han Yuqing were both startled, and hurriedly reached out to help: "Old man, what are you doing?" Get up, get up." ”
On this side, he helped the old man, and on the other side, the old woman also knelt down and said: "Childe, you must have met Chenghuang, right, please son, take us to meet it." ”
After speaking, the old man and the old woman kowtowed to Lin Qiuzhi at the same time.
Lin Qiu subconsciously thought of what Xiaoru said before, and felt helpless, so he hurriedly helped the two of them up, and said, "Old man, let's not say whether Changsheng is true or not, white... I don't know where she is. ”
The old man waved his hand again and again, and said, "Childe, we don't want to live forever, we don't want to live forever, please take us to meet her, just meet us, we don't want anything." ”
As he spoke, he was afraid that Lin Qiuzhi would not tell them the news of Chenghuang, and he was going to kneel down again.
Han Yuqing was shocked, thinking that these two old men were also like the mayor of the town, thinking about immortality, so they wanted to see that Chenghuang, but they never thought that the two of them didn't want anything.
Lin Qiuzhi was the same, and hurriedly stopped the two of them and said, "Old man, I really don't know how to ride Huang." ”
The two old men were anxious to cry out, and said, "We will not admit the Chenghuang breath on Gongzi's hand, and Gongzi must have been sent by Chenghuang." It's all because we don't have enough people's hearts, it's because we're too greedy, and we've seen through it for more than a thousand years, so I'm asking Gongzi to tell Chenghuang to let her take back her divine power, please Gongzi. ”
More than a thousand years?
The two of them were startled and looked at the two old men in front of them in disbelief.
Could it be that what Xiaoru said is true?
The two looked at each other with a look of shock in their eyes.
Lin Qiuzhi came to his senses, and hurriedly explained to him the origin of the demonic qi in his hand, and then said, "Old man, get up quickly, what's going on?"
The two old men showed their disappointment, sighed deeply, and said: "This matter is not a big deal, but we are greedy, if you don't dislike it, it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”
"A thousand years ago, I was a poor guy digging medicine from the bottom of the valley, and I was still a dumb man. ”
"One day, when I was digging medicine in the valley, suddenly, a small animal fell from the sky, I was startled, and I dared to go up to see it when it was injured, and when I looked closely, I found that it was a little fox with horns on its back, and I thought it was just an ordinary small animal, and I took it home when I saw that it was pitiful. ”
Later, I put herbs on its wounds, and after a long time, it woke up slowly, but it woke up and made a human voice, which frightened me at the time, and said thank you to me, and after a short time together, after knowing that I was mute, I was cured of my deafness, and also taught me how to use herbs to heal diseases. ”
"When I was thirty years old, he saw that I had not yet been married, so he came to me with a packet of herbs and told me that this herb could cure the scabies of the emperor today, and that he would be rich and wealthy at that time, and he would not be able to make a family. Of course I did, and it turned out to be so, and I married the daughter of a large family, and I was the old woman. ”
Hearing this, Lin Qiuzhi was stunned for a moment, isn't this the story that the mayor told him? Isn't it taking advantage of pornography to harm people? Why does this old man still say that they are too greedy?
Of course, it is not only Lin Qiuzhi who is puzzled, but also Han Yuqing, Lin Qiuzhi told everyone about this matter early, and now it seems that there is another hidden secret.
The two couldn't help but look at the old woman that the old man said, only to see her head down, looking at the ground with a ashamed face, and not daring to look at everyone.
The old man continued: "My old woman, my knowledge is much higher than mine, and when I saw the little fox, I knew that it was the legendary beast Chenghuang, and I also knew that as long as I rode on it, I could get a lifespan of two thousand years. ”
"When I heard the news, I was shocked, two thousand years! Isn't that a long life? It's all false to say that I don't want to be tempted, but I think that Chenghuang has helped me a lot, and I'm embarrassed to open my mouth again, or my wife continues to persuade me, I made up my mind to open my mouth and ask it to be accommodating, that Chenghuang is really a divine beast, and my heart is much better than ordinary demon beasts, since I agreed. ”
Speaking of this, the old man's wrinkled yellow face turned red, especially the old woman, and the shame on her face was even worse!
Lin Qiuzhi and Han Yuqing were both a little curious.
The old man said: "Later, we rode it around the house, that is, we got these two thousand years of life, at that time we were also blinded by lard, since we wanted to let the whole family get these two thousand years of longevity, although Cheng Huang said that each Cheng Huang can only bear the longevity of two people in his life, but, at that time, how could we believe that Cheng Huang was also helpless to camel everyone over and then left. ”
Speaking of which, Chenghuang has already exhausted his benevolence and righteousness, but these two old men have a bit of a coercion to repay their kindness, and they have to make inches.
This couldn't help but make Lin Qiuzhi and Han Yuqing look at the two of them with a little dissatisfaction, although they want to respect the elderly, but if they have low conduct, no one must be disgusted.
I thought that the matter had come to an end and that it was time for the matter to come to an end, but I never thought it was over.
The old man may have not spoken to anyone for a thousand years, his eyes were full of reminiscences, and he didn't look at the faces of the two anymore, and continued to talk endlessly.
"Decades later, the emperor in power also had scabies, so he asked me to go and present the herbs I had offered last time, and I found similar herbs used in Chenghuang at that time and gave them to the emperor, and the emperor was better at that time. ”
"But it's been a few decades, and those relatives who are older than us have passed away a long time ago, and then we believed what Chenghuang said, in order to make the descendants immortal, I thought about looking for the Chenghuang to help, but my wife said that you can live for 2,000 years by riding it, and kill the Chenghuang stewed soup to feed the children and grandchildren, so that you can live forever?"
"Hiss~" Lin Qiuzhi and Han Yuqing gasped and looked at each other, never thinking that this kind old man was so ruthless.
"As soon as I heard that what I said was reasonable, I ruthlessly recruited many cultivators and tricked them into slaying demons. When I found Chenghuang, there was an extra man beside it, his face was indifferent, and he was extremely ruthless, but he was very good at Chenghuang, a black fairy sword slaughtered dozens of cultivators, if it weren't for the Chenghuang looking at the past friendship, even my wife and I would not be able to escape the poison. ”
Lin Qiu was stunned, and subconsciously looked at the flame in his hand, stunned.
When she said this, the old woman on the side was stunned for a moment, looked up at Lin Qiuzhi, and a look of confusion flashed in her eyes.
And the old man was still very fascinated by what he said, and he didn't know if he thought of something sad, his eyes were full of tears, and there was a trace of choking in his voice.
"Not long after Cheng Huang and the man left, my housekeeper came running over and told me that the emperor's illness had not only not been cured, but had also aggravated his condition, festered, and destroyed my nine clans in a fit of rage. ”
"The yard is full of corpses, my children and grandchildren have been hacked to death, and even my newborn grandson is lying in the blood. As for me, I can only watch secretly, and I don't even have the courage to collect the corpse, and in order not to be discovered by the emperor, we can only hide in this mountain for the rest of our lives, and I will be two thousand years old or two thousand years old!"
Although he was a little shameful about the behavior of these two old men, he was punished by God after all, and now he fell into this field, which still made Lin Qiuzhi and Han Yuqing a little unbearable.
Han Yuqing couldn't help but say loudly: "Now that there have been several dynasties, why don't you go out?"
The old man sighed, shook his head, and saw the old woman on the side whispering: "This young lady knows the truth of her guilt, if someone finds out that we can live forever, won't she want to arrest us and ask the reason?
Two thousand years is not a small number of years, and although a cultivator can increase his life expectancy, how many of them can live to be 2,000 years old? If the two of them fall into the hands of a cultivator with bad intentions, the fate is naturally conceivable, and I am afraid that they will be tortured and will not be able to die.
Thinking of this, Han Yuqing couldn't help but fall silent.
The old woman sighed again: "It would be good if we could really die, in the past few years, we have exhausted many methods of suicide, but it is useless, and now we only want to find the Chenghuang begging it to accept this art of immortality." ”
Lin Qiuzhi's body was shocked, in this way, didn't the mayor of the town even lie to himself about the thousand-year-old thing?
Why thousands of years ago, for the sake of harming the world, killing people and skinning people were all deceiving themselves?
In fact, it was all compiled by the mayor for his own selfish desires!
And since I still think they are simple ordinary people!
The most ridiculous thing is that he still made a move on Bai Mo for these non-existent things.
A nameless fire burned in his heart, and a killing intent flashed in his mind, Lin Qiuzhi gritted his tooth crown tightly and quietly held the flame.
And at this moment, not far from Lin Qiuzhi and Han Yuqing, a figure was hurriedly scurrying back and forth in this forest.
