Chapter 10: Attacked
"Why did Senior Sister give the foundation of Qi cultivation to that mortal?" On the way out of the city, the woman in the yellow dress asked, "Then the Lin family, do you still need us to go?"
The woman in white is her senior sister, at this time her eyes are clear, and when she hears her sister's question, she answers for her with a smile.
"You started late, you may not know that the exercises practiced by my sect are divided into two ways of cause and effect, and there is an uncle surnamed Lin in the sect, who was the ancestor of the Lin clan in 'Luocang City'. ”
"Uncle Shi Yang's longevity is about to end, so he slashed the red dust with his sword, survived the thunderstorm, borrowed a causal line of the clan, and now the breakthrough is imminent, and the Lin family is declining, and the only side branch hides in this poor countryside to save the fire.
"This time, I heard that the Lin family had suffered a catastrophe, and in order to protect the Lin family and prevent the cause and effect from going crazy, my uncle sent me and others to find out the cause and secretly assist the Lin family through the crisis. ”
"And that young gentleman has already been one step ahead of the two of us, benefiting the Lin family, and generating a cause and effect line that is connected to the purpose of my trip, so I want to give him the foundation of Qi cultivation, complete a karmic reincarnation, and clear distracting thoughts for my avenue. ”
Senior Sister Yellow Dress nodded half-knowingly, and then asked, "Why did Senior Sister read that strange book?" ”
"The beggar didn't have any aura fluctuations around him, but I always felt that a strange premonition was affecting me, and the man's surprise when he saw this book also made me curious, so I secretly gave him the basic method of practicing qi under the pretext of borrowing the book. ”
She was a little curious about Hua Luo's book, but when she got it, she found that she couldn't read a word, and she was afraid that it would take too long to involve another cause and effect, so she stuffed another piece of cultivation foundation into the book, which could be regarded as returning the cause and effect.
It's just that the current Hua Luo doesn't know what others have done to him, but the problems in front of him make him more worried.
"What are you running!" With Lin Jiayi's foot strength, it was easy to catch up with Hua Luo, and at this time she had already blocked Hua Luo's way.
Hua Luo gasped, pretending to be calm, "Hey, such a coincidence, come out for a walk!"
Lin Jiayi naturally easily exposed his lies, but at this time, she unexpectedly couldn't get angry, but asked casually with a lot of concern, "Have you eaten lunch?" ”
"I don't mean anything else, my sister has set a wine table to repay you. ”
Hah? Invite me to dinner? What kind of wind is blowing today, this eldest lady suddenly came to invite him to dinner in person.
"Are you going!" Seeing that he ignored him, Lin Jiayi couldn't help but feel angry.
"Go!"
Does he dare not go, don't look at her not bringing a sword today, this posture, her ribs hurt faintly.
followed Lin Jiayi a few roads, and returned to the teahouse not far away, a secluded tavern appeared in front of Hua Luo, not very big, and there were few people, and a middle-aged woman at the counter was checking the account books.
Seeing Hua Luo and the two, he called the shopkeeper and introduced them into a box.
Lin Jiayue in the carriage was already waiting, and bowed slightly when she saw Hua Luo coming.
"Hua Gongzi's legs and feet are really fast!" Lin Jiayue hid her face and chuckled, "I thought my sister couldn't catch up with you." ”
In the face of the little beauty's joke, Hua Luo just laughed, did not reply, looked at it a little, and sure enough, what kind of clothes a beautiful girl wears can highlight her beauty. Lin Jiayue belongs to the kind of appearance that can't help but look at it at a glance and even want to see it all the time.
However, when Hua Luo glanced at Lin Jiayi, he thought that she would look like she was going to eat people, but found that she was just holding the dishes and chopsticks, a little absent-minded.
It didn't take long for the dishes to be served, Lin Jiayue raised her glass and toasted Hua Luo, "Hua Gongzi has a life-saving grace for me, and the little woman has nothing to repay, so she can only ......"
Can I only promise to each other? Hua Luo's mind burst out of this word, a better life beckons to me?
"I can only set up a crude banquet and feast on the son, I hope the son is not strange!"
"I didn't ...... It's okay!" What else can Hua Luo say, blame himself for being amorous, but think about it, he is twenty-four, his sister is sixteen or seventeen years old at most, and her sister looks like she is about twenty, but she often seems to want to swallow herself alive, the three of them just meet in Pingshui, if you really talk about marriage, he will feel more tricky, and it won't be long before he leaves, leaving others to be widowed here.
......
After eating, Hua Luo had nowhere to go, so after thinking for a while, he could only follow the two sisters around and then return to the Lin Mansion.
Whether or not you can hear back from the interstellar rescue team depends on the time, which can take a few hours or a whole day. According to his calculations, the time system of this planet is related to the life and life of the earthlings in the past, and he began to suspect that this is an ancient biome.
There are many ancient biomes in the universe, who oppose science and technology, advocate a lower-level civilized life system, and believe that ancient civilizations will be more peaceful and peaceful. There is also such a small branch in humans.
Because Hua Luo and Lin Jiayue ran out secretly, they naturally couldn't swagger into the Lin Mansion when they came back, they could only find a back door with no one and separate near the residence.
At the door of the guest room, Lin Zhen was anxiously pacing left and right, and when he saw Hua Luo coming back, he walked up with a happy face, "Xiao Luo, you're back, didn't I say I wouldn't let you go out." ”
"I'm with the two Miss Lin, what's wrong, is there something wrong?" Hua Luo didn't expect Lin Zhen to be waiting, and he was a little embarrassed.
Hearing that he went out with the two young ladies of the Lin family, Lin Zhen was somewhat relieved, the eldest lady was strong in martial arts, so naturally she would not go wrong, so she took out a silver ticket from her arms and handed it to Hua Luo.
"There is a silver ticket of five hundred taels here, you ...... first" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hua Luo.
"Silver ticket, what are you for, isn't it silver?"
He had seen the currency here in the morning, although it was only a fragment of silver in the hands of the Huang Jiaoxie, but if it was really one thousand five hundred taels, it would be a lot of money. But as soon as Lin Zhen opened his mouth, it was five hundred taels, what he said before, why did he suddenly drop so much.
Lin Zhen can be regarded as seeing a monster, the silver ticket is not more convenient than silver, besides, the 1,500 taels at that time was really made up by him casually, and the Lin family is in this state, and he really can't take it out.
"As for this silver ticket, as long as it is in this 'Shaoshan Country', it can be exchanged into silver, so don't worry. Lin Zhen stuffed the silver ticket to Hua Luo and continued to explain, "For the rest of the silver, allow the Lin family to give a few days." ”
After speaking, Lin Zhen was not polite anymore, and hurriedly ran away.
Hua Luo looked at the silver ticket with strange characters drawn in his hand, and he didn't know if what he said was true or not. Pushing open the door, a beggar was swaggering in his room.
"It's you!" the man was the beggar who sold him the book, and he was not as dirty as he had seen at noon, but not much better, and his clothes were covered with patches and dirt. Just can see the face clearly, a middle-aged man with small eyes with a slightly fat face, in the face of his sudden appearance, Hua Luo quietly touched his hand to the gun hidden in his waist.
"It's me, naturally!" the beggar crossed his legs and looked Hua Luo up and down, "Brother Luo, I haven't seen you for many years, and I'm getting younger." ”
Hua Luo also looked him up and down, this decadent beggar who looked like he had entered middle age, when did he know him, and he hadn't seen him for many years?
"Do we know each other?" Hua Luo also sat down, this suddenly appeared figure, let himself be a little foggy, and even had a sense of oppression, but he couldn't think of any reason for this beggar to want to harm him.
"I didn't know each other before, but now I just met him, and I will know him in the future!" the beggar man shook his head and said, "Remember, my name is Lao Shiren!"
"What do you say your name is?" Hua Luo thought he had misheard, honest man, the name seemed to have a bit of a story.
"Labor is the labor of labor, charity is charity, benevolence is benevolence!" The beggar pulled his face, "It's not an honest person, and there is no story!"
"Oh, understand, understand!" Hua Luo thought to himself that it would be strange if there was no story, and the unknown source might be another martial arts master.
"Mr. Narao......"
"What Mr. Lao, call me Senior Brother Lao!" Lao Shiren always felt that Hua Luo was underwhelmed, but he came to find him this time for a purpose, and it was inconvenient to waste more time with him, so he went straight to the point.
"Do you know why I'm coming to you?"
Hua Luo shook his head, how did he know. He couldn't even think of how Lao Shiren came to this room.
"Take out the book I gave you!"
"Didn't you sell it to me?"
"Let you take it out, what are you crooked!"
Anyway, if you can't beat it, you can take it out, but to be on the safe side, the gun on your waist is held in the other hand.
As soon as he took it out, Lao Shiren came up and grabbed his arm and forcibly reversed it directly, and the book fell directly, but he didn't care, but pulled up Hua Luo's sleeve.
Hua Luo, who was choked by the wrist, immediately raised his pistol and aimed it nervously at Lao Shiren.
As if he hadn't seen it, he just asked Hua Luo to look at his arm.
A black streak slowly spreads from the tooth marks on the palm of the hand, along the meridians, to the arm.
"Is this!?" Hua Luo was surprised, and rubbed his arm after putting down the gun, thinking that he had found a hallucination.
"This is Gu, a mutated Gu poison called Soul Devouring Gu. Lao Shiren let go of Hua Luo's arm, lowered his head and picked up the book that had fallen to the ground, it was the "Guide to the Immortal Dao" that was sold to him at noon, and blew the dust on the surface.
Pulled out a thread-bound book, but this book was both broken and pitiful, only three or two pages, looked up at Hua Luo, who had been rubbing his hands, and said with a smile,
"It's useless, the Gu poison mutated into a Heart Devouring Gu, it's not to scare you. ”
After a pause, Lao Shiren said flatly, "It won't be long before the meridians of your whole body will be blackened, and your heart will rot and die." ”
Hua Luo naturally didn't believe this statement, and hurriedly took out the treatment instrument, replaced the battery, and trembled and prepared to conduct his own examination.
But he already had some belief in his heart, this strange virus, this beggar said it was Gu, what was Gu, and whether there was a cure for the Interstellar Federation? He had no way of knowing, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly spread throughout his body.
"Don't try. Lao Shiren picked up the silver ticket that Hua Luo had dropped on the ground, checked the authenticity against the faint candlelight in the room, and said to himself, "If it were me, I would cultivate, and maybe I would be able to cure myself." ”
"Cultivation, what are you practicing?" Hua Luo suddenly woke up, he had heard the words of cultivation and martial arts more than once, it was the old man Yang who told stories during the day, and he also told stories about those immortals fighting.
Lao Shiren pushed the "Guide to the Immortal Dao" to Hua Luo's side, "Practice this!"
Hua Luo looked at the book, then at Lao Shiren, and at the tattered thread-bound book, "If I choose, I will be more curious about this tattered book." As he spoke, Hua Luo flipped through the line-bound book.
"Do you understand?" laughed at Lo Shiren, he knew that he didn't know any of the words here, and the book was not a good thing.
"You've been cut by some people who are not good at what you do, and you still want to be complacent?"
"What do you mean!"
"Those two girls are disciples of the 'Tianyi Gate' from Zhengdao Mountain, and the Tianyi Gate exercises are related to cause and effect. ”
Lao Shiren snatched the book from Hua Luo's hand and put it on the candle flame, don't look at the torn book, it won't burn for a while.
"If you can't practice, you can't practice, why do you burn it?"
Although Hua Luo didn't understand what he meant by cause and effect, this old book couldn't tell what kind of antique or the like could be sold for money, so it was a pity that it burned like this.
"Cause and effect things, not clean. Lao Shiren raised his other hand and slid lightly over the book, and the book in his hand was directly shattered into crumbs, which was instantly burned to ashes, just a strange smell in the room.
Lao Shiren raised two fingers in his right hand and drew a circle in the air, and the smell of smoke just now disappeared in an instant.
"You...... How did you do that?!" Hua Luo learned to draw a circle.
Lao Shiren didn't speak, just handed the rest of the "Guide to the Immortal Dao" to Hua Luo, "It's all in the book." ”
After tidying up his shabby clothes, Lao Shiren looked into Hua Luo's eyes and asked:
"Cultivating the Tao or cultivating immortals, which do you want to learn?"
"I don't want to fix anything, I just want someone to come and save me, and I still have some things to report back to. "Suddenly asked himself to cultivate, and after a while, he asked himself to read, saying that he was dying, a series of things, Hua Luo couldn't understand it, he just wanted to go back.
"I said you can't go back, and you still don't believe it. Lao Shiren didn't seem to want to talk more nonsense on this issue, "The Lin family has a problem, so they can do it themselves!"
After saying that, he walked straight to the door.
"Wait a minute!" Hua Luo stopped Lao Shiren, thought for a while, and asked, "What is the difference between cultivating the Tao and cultivating immortals?"
Lao Shiren turned his head and replied, "Immortal, it's a fart!"
......
I really dare to say it, Hua Luo look at the black lines that are about to exceed the joints of his arm, what is Gu, he really doesn't know, but it is too unbelievable to let him cultivate.
......
Late at night, there were occasional rooster crows, and Hua Luo, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by some movement.
"Is this the room?"
"Yes, I've seen the doctor. ”
"Okay, let's do it!"
......
"Squeak~" The sound of the deadbolt being pulled, Hua Luo hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
The footsteps slowly approached, and Hua Luo could feel some light in his trance.
"Brother, don't blame me!" a whisper, and the figure stabbed the futon by the candlelight and the dagger in his hand.
