Episode 90 Apprenticeship

Long Shilan clenched her teeth, she had tried very hard to slowly approach the wooden house among the flowers, and saw that she was only one step away from the wooden house, but her eyes drooped unobediently, and stopped in front of the steps at the door of the wooden house, and she could not move forward a single bit.

Although she fell short, Long Shilan was lucky, when she woke up again, she found herself lying on a wooden bed, and the clothes on her body had been dried at some point, her body was warm and her body had strength. Puzzled, she rolled over and got out of bed, and accidentally noticed a bronze mirror on a wooden table, and couldn't help but go up to check her face.

But seeing a clean and fair face reflected in the bronze mirror, the blood stains that overflowed in the eye sockets before were long gone, although she lost her left eye, I have to say that Long Shilan is still a beautiful embryo full of charm, just like a piece of beautiful jade with an extra spot, but it is flawed.

It is a simple room, and there are almost no superfluous objects in the room except for the daily necessities. Although the furnishings are simple, they are very neat and cleaned. When Long Shilan opened the door and walked outside, she immediately felt the warm sunlight and smelled the fragrance of flowers wafting in the breeze. Her spirits were also refreshed, as if she had been reborn, she forgot the pain of losing her eyes for a while, and was attracted by the sea of flowers around her, and couldn't help but step into the flowers, leaning over to get in touch with the unknown white flowers that bloomed.

"Do you like these flowers?" said an old, loud voice among the flowers.

When Long Shilan heard this, she turned around and saw an old man with white hair and long beard standing among the flowers, smiling at her.

"Senior, are you the master here?" asked Long Shilan as she straightened up and looked at the old man among the flowers in amazement.

The old man smiled and said slowly: "Before you came, I was the only old man here, I don't know if this is the master?"

"Then it must be the seniors who saved me?" asked Long Shilan almost certainly.

"Yes, can you tell me your name, and how did you get here?" asked the old man kindly.

"My name is Long Shilan, and I accidentally fell into a hole and was washed here by water. Long Shilan recalled and replied slowly.

"You just said your name is Long Shilan?" the old man wanted to confirm again, his expression was solemn, "The stone of the stone, the orchid of the orchid?"

Long Shilan nodded and said, "Is there anything wrong with my name?"

After the old man got the confirmation, the expression on his face instantly relaxed, and he smiled again and said, "Do you know what kind of flowers these flowers are?"

Long Shilan only shook her head, she had never seen these flowers, so naturally she couldn't name them.

"Once they open, these flowers never wither, and they are flowers blessed by the gods, called stone orchids. The old man deliberately accentuated the tone of the last three words, so as to deepen Long Shilan's impression and attract her attention.

"The names of these flowers are the same as my names?" Long Shilan's expression widened with even more surprise as she widened her remaining eyes.

"Exactly. The old man bowed slightly, "It seems that you are related to this land!"

When Long Shilan heard this, she suddenly touched the scene and said sadly: "Yes, I lost an eye, and in my opinion, this is more like a disaster than fate." ”

"Your left eye is gone, don't you still have your right eye?" said the old man, "I see that you are a blessing in disguise, and you are glad to congratulate!"

"Senior, please don't stimulate me anymore, I don't have an eye, how can I see people in the future?" Long Shilan said as she naturally raised her hand and gently stroked the empty left eye, which had lost its brilliance, and looked sad.

"Do you really care about your appearance?" said the old man as he walked along a path among flowers towards Long Shilan.

"What woman doesn't care about her appearance?" asked Long Shilan rhetorically.

"Except for your appearance, you don't have anything else worth caring about?" the old man asked again, and at this time he had come to a place less than two steps in front of Long Shilan.

"Nature has a ......"

"For example?"

Long Shilan was speechless for a while, she had been blinded by the pain of losing her eyes, but she couldn't think of anything else worth caring about, putting the Buddha's appearance in the first place was irreplaceable, so that it covered up the rest of the things that made her worth caring about. In the end, she had to prevaricate: "It's too much, I can't say it for a while." ”

"Since you can't tell, then I'll tell you for you. The old man said, "Let me ask you first, how are you blind in these eyes?"

"He who was beaten blind. Long Shilan said angrily.

"That's right, if you're a good skill, how can you not dodge, or why can't you strike first?" asked the old man.

"I'm still a shallow cultivator. ”

"If you see your own shortcomings, you should work hard to improve yourself, I can guide you to a few tricks, you will be of infinite use after you learn it, and even invincible, do you believe it or not?" The old man looked at Long Shilan with a smile, observing her reaction.

Long Shilan raised her head slowly, blinked her right eye in surprise, she felt for the first time that the unknown old man in front of her was unfathomable, and his body began to get bigger and bigger.

The old man smiled and said: "Don't dare to be a big name, you may not have heard of it, sixty years ago I had a title on the rivers and lakes called Soul Chasing Legs, I don't know if you have heard of it?"

Long Shilan shook her head and said, "I haven't been born yet, and the old things from sixty years ago...... Have you been in this place for sixty years?"

The old man nodded and replied, "Yes, to be precise, it is sixty years and eight months plus three days. ”

"Oh my God, aren't you bored to stay alone in such a deserted place?" Long Shilan couldn't help but exclaim.

"Actually, I was wrong at the beginning, there is another person here besides me, and she is my wife. The old man said.

"Your wife?" Long Shilan looked around when she heard this, and saw that in addition to flowers and plants, where was there a third figure around?

"There is no need to look for it, she has been buried in the ground, and she is buried in the open space not far behind. The old man said indifferently, "But she has always lived in my heart, and she has always lived with me in this paradise." ”

"I see. Long Shilan's expression was gloomy, and she asked again after a moment: "Then why did the predecessors come here and live here for sixty years?"

The old man said: "I'll tell you this slowly in the future, in fact, even if I want to go out, it's impossible, I'm old, and with my current skills, I can't fly out of this deep valley." If you look closely, it's surrounded by towering cliffs, and it's hard for even birds to fly out if they fall in, let alone those who can't fly. ”

When Long Shilan heard this, she stared around, and when she learned that what the old man said was true, she was immediately a little depressed, and said, "Then don't I have to die here too?"

"Then it's up to you to make it. The old man said, "I've been waiting for someone who is destined, that is, you." I will pass on to you what I have learned all my life, and you will be able to get out of here by virtue of your own skills. ”

"Really?" Long Shilan was overjoyed, and hope was rekindled in her heart.

"Naturally, it's true, tell me which one you're best at?" the old man asked seriously.

"Leg work. Long Shilan blurted out without thinking.

"Great!" the old man was overjoyed, and clapped his palms and said, "It seems that you are really my true disciple of the soul chasing leg Nie Soul!"

"It turns out that the senior's name is Nie Soul?"

"Exactly, are you willing to be my Nie Soul's disciple and inherit my peerless soul chasing leg?" Nie Soul's eyes flickered, staring at Long Shilan, and there was a hint of excitement in his dignified expression.

Long Shilan immediately fell to her knees, bowed to the ground, and said, "The master is above, please accept the disciple's worship!"

"Good! Great!" Nie Soul was very happy, "Congratulations on becoming my first and last disciple of Nie Soul!"
