Chapter 7: The Dangers of the Rivers and Lakes (3)
The two were shocked and ashamed when they heard this, as if they had been caught by someone for a while, they raised their legs and ran, and then they were still curious, and the two stopped after running two steps. There is nothing to be afraid of in self-confidence, and I can't help but follow the prestige, only to see a person falling from the tree at this time.
This person has white hair and eyebrows, is dressed in cloth, and his figure is almost as tall as Zhong Ming, but he is a little fatter, and his long white hair is simply tied in a knot at the back of his head, which is counted as a braid. Zhong Ming seemed to have a feeling of where he had seen the person who came, but he couldn't remember who the other party was, and he suddenly fell into bitter thought.
However, the old man was very kind, first laughed "haha", and then explained to himself:
"My old man happened to pass through the woods, and I saw you two dolls at a glance, and for some reason I suddenly felt that there was a fate, so I immediately rushed over. I only heard the last words of the female doll...... So guess: You two won't be a pair of little lovers, right, why is this female doll dressed as a Taoist aunt?"
"Where did you come from, a confused old man, why do you speak so unreasonably," Yi Hui first scolded angrily: "At such an old age, you are open-mouthed and speak casually." Could it be that your beard is so white that you can't even see that the two of us are obviously sisters and brothers, how can our sisters and brothers be as vulgar as you think this old man thinks!"
"Yes, yes," the old man apologized very seriously, "It's my old man who speaks out of proportion and treats you as adults." But I don't know why, after I met the two of you, how did I have a feeling of familiarity at first sight, and I really wanted to make friends with you to play together, what do you two say?"
Yi Hui was reluctant because of the old man's appropriate language, but he didn't expect Zhong Ming to look at the old man amiable, although he was a lot older, he knew his mistakes and admitted his mistakes with a sincere attitude, and he was very easy-going, and he had a sense of being like-minded. Without waiting for Yi Hui to speak, he couldn't help but respond happily:
"Best, best, we don't have an idea where to go, with your old man as a companion, we don't have to worry where to go. ”
The old man was overjoyed, and he seemed to like to be in the company of the children, and he couldn't help but stretch out his head and ask the two eagerly:
"Since we are friends now, we must have a name for each other, and my old man should always know what your two are called, right?"
No matter how Yi Hui signaled to stop her, Zhong Ming thought that he had met a rare friend, so he just introduced himself:
"My name is Zhong Ming, and my sister's name is Yi Hui, so what is your name?"
The old man was shocked when he heard this, looked at the two of them carefully, and at the same time looked around Zhong Ming inexplicably, as if he was thinking about something. Then he shook his head, and only then did he remember the other party's question. But he was still a little embarrassed about Zhong Ming's question for a while before answering:
"My old man is old and forgetful, and I don't know what my name is, so you two can call me the 'weird boss' old man. ”
"'Blame Boss'...... 'Blame Boss'...... There are thousands of names in the world, but you can't call this one...... With your old man, you dare to call yourself a 'weird boss'!" Yi Hui knew more than Zhong Ming, she was stunned for a while, and continued to complain to the other party: "What's your name bad, why do you call it weird boss?"
"What's wrong with this, a person's name is just a symbol, people have called me like this for almost half a century, and no one has ever felt strange, just you female doll can be troublesome, rare and strange. Isn't my old man going to change his name from now on?"
"Not necessarily...... But the juniors dare to ask you, old man, how old are you this year?" Yi Hui suddenly became respectful and polite and bowed and asked.
"As far as your girl doll is so troublesome, you don't want to think that I don't even remember my own name, and I forget about this age even more and more, and it becomes more and more vague. ”
"You...... You...... You can't be my old man, the 'Peng Ancestor in this world', right?" Yi Hui said cautiously.
"What is the ancestor and not the grandfather...... Seeing that you are dressed as a Dao girl, are you a disciple of the Mo Evil Sect?"
"Apprentice Sun Yihui knocked to see Master Zu. Yi Hui heard him say his master, and knew that it was Master Zu who arrived, so he hurriedly pulled Zhong Ming and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"I'm so...... I just found two friends, how could I suddenly become two junior disciples...... Where is this leaving my old man? Why can't my old man get rid of the entanglement of you juniors, I'm really angry. The old man's beard was almost floating up from his mouth at this time.
Zhong Ming was a little familiar when he heard the word "strange boss", and suddenly remembered the old man who took him up the mountain three years ago, but after a closer look, the two faces were too different. The strange boss he had seen in the past was much younger than the old man in front of him, and he had no beard, so he thought that Yi Hui had mistaken someone. couldn't help but retort to Yi Hui:
"Wrong, wrong...... It's my sister who recognized the wrong person, if it's the weird boss on the mountain, how can I not know the little brother?"
However, Yi Hui couldn't help but say that he just pulled Zhong Ming to salute the comers, Zhong Ming was already being pulled hard by Yi Hui at this time, kneeling down in a daze and kowtowing to others, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and then he couldn't help but be angry when he saw Yi Hui being treated like this.
He was enraged by the other party's unreasonable annoyance, but he didn't expect the two to be respectful to him, and the other party not only didn't appreciate it, but looked like this. For this reason, he simply jumped up from the ground, and without saying anything, he pulled up Yi Hui and left, just wanting to leave this strange old man as soon as possible, and turned back to the old man as he walked:
"You old man is too unreasonable, we didn't want to invite you to join the gang, but you yourself were willing to come over to make up the numbers. My sister saw that you were old and old, so she asked me to kowtow to you, and made a big gift, which can be regarded as a courtesy, but I didn't expect you to get cheap and good, why are you still so underestimated. ”
"Whose little doll are you, and you dare to talk to me like this, although you have the same name as a child I knew in the past, why do you call Mo Xie's disciple sister?
It turns out that after three years of changes, the faces of the two sides have changed a lot, Zhong Ming has grown a head taller than before, and his appearance has gradually matured from the past, and he is like the little kid three years ago. After three years of retreat and cultivation, the strange boss is now back to his old self. At this time, the two met by chance outside, and naturally felt alienated from each other, and among the three, only Yi Hui had realized the true identity of the other party, but he was not very sure.
"What, do you still want to be rude?" Zhong Ming had a preconceived idea, thinking that Yi Hui was just guessing, when it came to who knew whom, how could Yi Hui be more familiar than himself and the strange boss. With this concept in charge, he repeatedly ignored Yi Hui's stops, but stopped a little angrily, and said:
"I see that you are too old to give you a handful of hands, in addition to the word Zhong Ming, I have a name I give myself that you don't know, that is: 'untouchable'. It doesn't matter if you want to embarrass us, old man, but don't let me break up your old bones. ”
Zhong Ming said, just pulled Yi Hui and ran forward, intending to leave this annoying old man as soon as possible. Due to Zhong Ming's insistence, Yi Hui also began to suspect that she might have recognized the wrong person at this time, after all, Zhong Ming was the one who was brought up the mountain by the strange boss, how could it be reasonable not to know each other?
Who knew that the two of them had just run a few steps and suddenly felt a figure in front of them, and they didn't see clearly what the old man was doing, but he was blocking his eyes again. The old man's head at this time almost touched the bridge of Zhong Ming's nose, Zhong Ming couldn't help but hurriedly take a step back, and said angrily:
"Shout...... It turns out that your old man can also do martial arts, no wonder he is so arrogant. For the sake of your light work, we might as well touch it now. But I can say ugly things ahead, if I hurt you, I won't be responsible!" Zhong Ming said and let go of Yi Hui's wrist, just lowered his head and slammed into the old man, ready to hit him with a back.
The old man watched Zhong Ming's head hit him, but he was not moved at all, his expression seemed to be smiling, and he stretched out the five fingers of his right hand and gently grabbed the top of Zhong Ming's head. Zhong Ming's head was immediately as uncomfortable as if he had been baked in a furnace, and he suddenly lost all his strength, but at the same time, he couldn't find any internal strength for the other party. In a hurry, Zhong Ming couldn't help but stretch out his fingers with both hands.
Unexpectedly, the True Yang Xuanzhi lost its effectiveness at this time, and it was all turned into a trace with an understatement of the old man's left hand. Although Zhong Ming's fingers "sneered", it had no effect on the old man. The head was in the old man's hands, but he couldn't return it at all. Zhong Ming was angry and anxious, unable to advance or retreat, so he had to take out his housekeeping skills, and couldn't help but threaten the other party:
"Old man, if you don't let go, I'm going to curse!"
"Don't scold, don't scold, don't scold!" Yi Hui from the other party's hand, has already identified the other party as the ancestral master, at this time while repeatedly stopping Zhong Ming from scolding, on the other hand, begged the old man: "Ask the ancestor to be merciful, forgive Zhong Ming for the crime of being young and ignorant." ”
Yi Hui saw that Zhong Ming was very embarrassed now, and at this time she could only kneel aside and beg the old man for mercy. The old man didn't want to let go at this time, and insisted on embarrassing him, but when he heard Zhong Ming's words about to scold, he was really afraid that he would open his mouth and scold people, so he had to let go of his hand. Zhong Ming suddenly lost his grip on his head, sat on the ground with his butt, and asked the other party with wide eyes:
"You white-bearded old man, whether you are a human or a demon, how do I think you are more powerful than all the old men I have ever seen?"
The old man blinked his eyelids, as if he understood a little, and was unwilling to give any explanation to the other party at this time, so he just asked:
"Who are you who to quit killing, and what is the relationship between Mo Ye and you, how do my old man feel that your kid has been taught and instructed by two of my disciples?"
"Don't scare me with big words, I've seen some people in the world now, and I'm not the doll who used to be deceived by a word. At this time, Zhong Ming suddenly thought of the trick when he was practicing light skills with the three strange brothers on the mountain, and the fourth strange brother suddenly attacked him, so he pointed behind the old man with his hand and said, "If you don't believe it, ask him?"
Zhong Ming said that he really expected the old man to turn around, and then suddenly launched an attack after him, and if he didn't believe in his True Yang Xuanzhi, he couldn't hurt him. Unexpectedly, the old man smiled, and he didn't pay attention to him as if he had eyes on the back of his head, and still asked:
"I can't see that your kid is honest on the outside, but he is a little treacherous on the inside, and his tricks are really not small at a young age...... No, look at your naïve and rusty techniques, are you just learning the skills?"
"Who said that I just learned it, Young Master Ben ...... half a month ago Alas-" As soon as Zhong Ming said this, he suddenly realized that he was not admitting himself, so he hurriedly changed his words: "I said that you are an old man, you have a lot of eyes, and you actually want to get out of the foundation of this young master!"
"This is your foundation, I didn't see the look of this partner next to you, didn't you already tell me everything about the old man!"
Zhong Ming was young and ignorant after all, and involuntarily turned his head to look at Yi Hui on the ground next to him, who knew that before he could see Yi Hui's face clearly, he was hit by someone on his forehead, although he was not injured, but it was also very painful. When he was angry, he saw that the old man on the other side didn't seem to move, and when he looked around, he didn't find anything suspicious, and he couldn't help but exclaim in confusion:
"Which one flicked the young master's head, if you have the ability, stand up, don't hide your head and tail, and don't show your face again, I'm going to curse!"
"Why do you kid want to scold people at every turn, don't you have any other skills besides scolding?"
"If I have any other skills, can I open my mouth and curse...... There is no way to be bullied, you have to vent something, for a big living person, you can't tell me to be hit inexplicably without saying a word, right?" Zhong Ming replied angrily with his head in his hands.
The old man smiled when he heard this, nodded yes, his demeanor was obviously almost a lot, and said to Zhong Ming with a smile:
"What you kid said makes sense, but after talking for a long time, you haven't answered my question in total?"
Zhong Ming looked at this person, who was over sixty years old, and remembered that the meaning he meant in his words turned out to be the master of his grandfather and grandmother, so he naturally refused to believe it, remembering that there were many liars on the rivers and lakes, and he was naturally not their opponent when he first broke into the rivers and lakes. During this time, I also thought of the strange boss on the mountain, but I only knew that he was still in retreat and cultivating, not to mention that the two were too far apart, how could the real strange boss have the leisure to come here to chat, so he completely denied his identity.
At present, since he can't achieve the goal of sneaking up on the old man, he has inexplicably suffered a chestnut on his head, and he thinks that there is no one else around, which is obviously the masterpiece of this old man. After some actions, Zhong Ming already knew that his set would not work in front of the other party, so he had no choice but to grin at him and sneer:
"My Grandpa Ouyang is the best in the world in martial arts, and my grandmother is not much worse, and the other grandfather is ......" Zhong Ming said this, and suddenly realized that it was a little inconvenient, so he simply said: "I just don't tell you, I just want to make your old man uncomfortable! Although your old man is very powerful, and his martial arts are reasonable, but in terms of age, how can he be my grandfather and grandmother's master?"
Unexpectedly, the old man was furious when he heard this, and immediately scolded:
"What's wrong with your lack of heart...... Didn't I already tell you how old my old man was, even I can't remember. With this qualification, there are two elderly disciples in the world, so what's so strange? I just want to know whose child are you, so lacking in a tutor?"
No matter what the old man said, Zhong Ming just refused to believe that the old man in front of him was the master of his grandfather and grandmother. Fortunately, Yi Hui had already heard some past stories about the old man Peng Zu in this life from his master, and hurriedly explained from the side at this time:
"Tell my grandfather, my master had a child with the Eagle Claw Demon King before he became a monk, and the child grew up and became a family in Wolong Villa, although he had two children in the future, he was unfortunately stolen, and it was later proved that the bell in front of him was the child lost in the early years of the villa. He was originally taken to the mountain by your old man, but I didn't expect that your old man didn't even know him now, may Master Zu forgive him for his ignorance and recklessness. ”
"Is he the kid I brought up the mountain?" the old man looked at Zhong Ming with some disbelief, and then said indignantly: "It's all my fault that I was confused for a while, how did I save such a bastard from going up the mountain?
I didn't expect the strange boss to be very old, but his temperament was as naïve as a child, and at this time, he was angry, and he was unabashed and scolded. And continued to shout to the bell:
"I haven't seen him for more than three years, I didn't expect this kid to look like this...... Boy, now that you know who I am, why don't you kowtow to my old man and confess my guilt?"
