Chapter 16: Conversation (Collect)
Since he hadn't eaten for too long, Liu Luo ate a whole meal for four people. After eating, Liu Luo glanced at the old man embarrassedly, picked up the wine jug and got a glass of wine, ready to toast the mysterious old man in front of him with a glass of wine, so as to express his gratitude.
But just as Liu Luo was about to pick up the wine glass, the old man stretched out his hand and pressed his hand. And at the same time that Liu Luo's hand was held down by the old man, he suddenly felt a majestic source qi flowing down the old man's hand and into his body.
Feeling this majestic but not violent source qi, Liu Luo immediately realized that the old man in front of him was a doctor, and he was a very amazing doctor. At this moment, the old man was guiding his source qi into Liu Luo's body, helping him check the injuries in his body.
At this moment, Liu Luo didn't dare to do anything, to be exact, he couldn't do anything. And at this time, in his heart, he also began to guess the true identity of the old man in front of him. Just as Liu Luo was thinking in his heart, the old man also let go of his hand holding Liu Luo. At the same time, Liu Luo felt that the majestic source qi that the old man had conveyed into his body had actually merged into his body little by little. And the injuries in his body have also recovered a lot because of this source qi.
Just when Liu Luo wanted to thank the old man, the old man waved his hand at him, and then took out a purple gourd porcelain bottle with a wipe of his Rongkong stone ring.
"If you have a wound, don't drink wine. Drink this!" As he spoke, the old man pushed the gourd bottle in front of Liu Luo.
Looking at the purple gourd bottle in front of him, Liu Luo hugged his fist at the old man and said gratefully, "The great kindness of the seniors is really ......"
"Alright. Don't be so much courtesy from your mother-in-law. Hurry up and drink this bottle of liquid!"
Looking at the tired and polite expression in front of him, Liu Luo smiled ashamedly and said, "Then the junior will be ashamed." After saying this, Liu Luo directly picked up the gourd bottle and found a cup of liquid medicine in the teacup.
Smelling the fragrant and heart-moistening taste of the medicinal liquid in the cup, Liu Luo knew that the value of this bottle of elixir was definitely not expensive. Then Liu Luo no longer hesitated, picked up the teacup and drank the liquid medicine in the cup in one gulp. With the entrance of the medicinal liquid, Liu Luo immediately felt a refreshing feeling of comfort fill his whole body. And the injuries in the body have recovered a lot again.
After the shopkeeper removed the dishes, there were only two old people left in the room, as well as Xiao Tianxing and Xiao Liubei, who had been sleeping soundly. Looking at the old man in front of him, Liu Luo hugged his fists again and said, "Thank you seniors today.......
"Don't thank you. Don't you have anything else to say, young man, like your real name or something. ”
Hearing the old man's words, Liu Luo's tone immediately stagnated. Looking at Liu Luo in front of him, the old man smiled and said,
"Liu Luo is not your real name, right! You told me on the way that you came to the Principality of Chufeng to do business, and you were robbed and robbed on the way to rob and seize your property, I'm afraid it's also fake! I don't think there are any mountain bandits who will rob you, a master above the hopeless realm!"
Faced with the old man's series of questions, Liu Luo smiled bitterly and said, "I know that I can't hide it from my predecessors, and it's true that I didn't tell the truth before." My real purpose is to find someone, and I'm a wanted person. As for my daughter, my wife died only when we were intercepted by the enemy on our way, and my wounds were left at that time. As for who to look for in the future and what the real name is, please forgive the seniors for these two points, and the juniors really can't say it. ”
Staring at Liu Luo in front of him for a while, the old man said calmly, "It's okay, everyone has their own secrets." ”
Hearing that the old man was no longer continuing to ask about himself, Liu Luo's heart was also secretly relieved. After sitting in front of the old man and thinking for a while, Liu Luo hugged his fist at the old man and said, "Senior, junior has a few questions, I don't know whether to ask them or not." ”
"Hehe!" Looking at Liu Luo in front of him with a faint smile, the old man said calmly, "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask!" But there are some questions that the old man can't answer. After all, as I said earlier, everyone has their own secrets. ”
"Hehe! What the seniors said is very true. What the juniors want to ask is not any secret from you, but I just want to hear the opinions of the seniors on some things. ”
"Oh?" Hearing Liu Luo's words, the old man asked with interest, "What questions do you have, but it will be fine." ”
"Actually, the question of the juniors is also very simple, the juniors just want to hear some of the opinions of the seniors on the cultivation of the source qi. When the younger generation hears that the source qi has cultivated to a certain level, they don't need to eat. Looking at the strength of the predecessors just now, it must have reached such a level, but why did you ....... just now?"
"Hehe!" Looking at Liu Luo, who wanted to speak again and again, the old man smiled faintly and asked, "Then have you ever seen that kind of person?"
The old man's rhetorical question made Liu Luo stunned at that time, and after thinking for a long time, Liu Luo shook his head a little dazedly. Looking at Liu Luo's blank expression, the old man thought for a moment and said,
"As for what you just said, old man, I think it's just a rumor. If there really is anyone in this world who does not need to eat, I am afraid that there is only one kind of dead person. Although the cultivation of source qi to a certain level can mobilize the source qi in the body to act as temporary food, or reduce the frequency and quantity of eating, eating is necessary. There must be a fundamental reason for the existence of all things, and if there is food, why should we think about not eating?"
"And the old man thinks that only when a person eats will he feel that he is still alive, and he will feel that he is a living person. Some people may say that God does not need to eat, but after all, that is only what others say, and who has really seen it? The old man is not interested in any gods, but just wants to be a simple and free man. ”
After listening to the old man's words, Liu Luo's heart was full of thoughts. On the one hand, I was amazed by the old man's open-minded and broad mind, and on the other hand, I was surprised that the old man's words were very similar to the words of a person who once lived.
After sorting out his slightly chaotic thoughts, Liu Luo hugged his fist at the old man and said, "The seniors are high, and the juniors have been taught." ”
Looking at Liu Luo, who was humbly taught, the old man continued with a calm face, "The things in the world are inherently false, false, and real, and who can distinguish between the true and the false? In the old man's opinion, this is just a big joke. People in the world often use the nine realms to distinguish between high and low, such as qi induction, flow pulse, condensation, condensation, condensation, concentration, distraction, transience, and hopelessness. Isn't it an obvious lie to say that you have reached the top of the ninth order? After all, you, young man, are a good example!"
Looking at Liu Luo, who was smiling and silent, the old man changed his words and said, "I'm afraid that even this so-called history is vague!"
As the old man said this, the smile on Liu Luo's face gradually disappeared. Raising his head to look at the old man in front of him, Liu Luo opened his mouth and said, "Senior......" Liu Luo's words didn't come out, and the old man interrupted him.
"Okay, let's not talk about it. There are some things that are already difficult to explain, so why bother with them? Young man, do you have any plans now?"
Hearing the old man's question, Liu Luo lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "I'm afraid the person I'm looking for isn't here, so I'm going to take the relics of Bei'er and my wife home first." After I raise Bei'er with peace of mind, I'll try to find the person I'm looking for!"
"Well, that's good. In that case, then you can do these things!" The old man wiped his Rongkong Stone ring with his hand, and took out three large porcelain bottles, a dozen small porcelain bottles, and a bag containing money in the city, and placed it in front of Liu Luo.
"The three large bottles of liquid medicine are good for your injuries, and the small bottles contain the food I prepared for Tianxing, you can take it with you on the road as food for your child! There's a little money in the bag, so let's take it with you on the road!"
Looking at the things that the old man took out this time, Liu Luo did not put it away, but looked at the old man with a guilty face and said, "The seniors have already saved our father and daughter once, this is ......"
Looking at Liu Luo, who was embarrassed, the old man said meaningfully, "It is good for young people to have self-esteem, but untimely self-esteem is likely to cost you your life." Don't say anything, just take it, even if it's to make your child feel better. Don't say you don't have a hollow stone on your body!, old man, I've seen it a long time ago. ”
"That junior, just have more kindness from your seniors. Saying that, Liu Luo didn't shirk anymore, and directly put the things on the table into his Rongkong Stone ring. When he picked up the money bag, Liu Luo glanced at it slightly and found that there were about a hundred gold coins inside. And there are actually a few amethyst coins.
The money given by the old man is not a lot, after all, gold coins are not something that ordinary people can consume. For example, the shopkeeper of this inn can only earn three silver coins a month, which is converted into 1,500 copper coins consumed by ordinary people. One gold coin can be exchanged for ten silver coins, and one amethyst coin can be exchanged for five hundred gold coins.
After Liu Luo put everything away, the old man asked, "When are you going to leave?"
"It's been relatively quiet right now, so I wanted to take advantage of this time and leave immediately. Tomorrow morning, I'll get up. ”
"Hmm. After listening to Liu Luo's words, the old man nodded and said, "The road is far away, be careful!"
"Thank you seniors for reminding you, it's not early, so the juniors will retire first. After seeing the old man nodding, Liu Luo picked up the sleeping little Liu Bei on the bed and returned to his room next door.
After a night of silence, the next morning, after Liu Luo had breakfast with the old man and Xiao Tianxing, he took Xiao Liu Bei on the road. Looking at the departing Xiao Liubei, Xiao Tianxing's face showed a very reluctant expression. It wasn't until Liu Luo disappeared from his sight that Xiao Tianxing was still babbling in the direction she left, as if he was saying something.
Looking at Xiao Tianxing in his arms, the old man smiled and said, "Maybe this is also a kind of fate!" and glanced in the direction where Liu Luo's father and daughter left, and the old man returned to the inn with Xiao Tianxing. And just as they were returning to their rooms, an anxious voice came from one of the rooms they had passed.
