Chapter 28: The White-Haired Odd Man
Leng Gongxue looked at the old man's feet and necks with big iron rings, and felt very uncomfortable, he held the old man's feet and said, "Old man, do you hurt?"
The white-haired old man glanced up at Leng Gongxue, and then looked away, without a trace of expression on his face.
Xiaohua on the side said: "He can't speak, you better find another way to ask him how to take the pool water here." ”
Leng Gongxue nodded and said, "I'll help him open the chain first, otherwise he will be in so much pain." ”
Xiaohua looked at the thick iron ring and said hesitantly, "How can such a big iron ring be opened?"
Leng Gongxue hesitated for a moment, he raised his hand, used enough internal force, and smashed it against the corner of the iron ring. Leng Gongxue smashed it several times like this, but the iron chain was unresponsive, and her hands were already sore.
Xiaohua said: "Don't bother, after all, this is an iron ring, how can you smash it lightly?"
Leng Gongxue said a little sadly: "Old man, I'm really sorry, I want to open your ankle chain, but I don't have that much ability." ”
The old man turned his head to look at Leng Gongxue, and his face showed a strange expression. Leng Gongxue hurriedly asked, "Old man, what do you want to say?"
The white-haired old man looked around and whispered, "Young man, thank you for your kindness, I have an old bone, and I earn a day of life, so why bother to save me?"
Leng Gongxue said in surprise: "Old man, can you speak?"
The white-haired old man said, "Yes, I haven't spoken for twenty years, and today you are the first person who wants to save me, child, I am touched by you." As he spoke, the old man's tears flowed.
Leng Gongxue hurriedly stretched out his hand to wipe the old man's tears, and he said while wiping them: "Old man, don't be sad, I'll think of a way to see if I can take off the ankle chain." ”
The old man hugged Leng Gongxue like a child and cried for a while, then raised his head and said, "Do you see the great villain? How did you get in? Everyone who has been here will be injured, how can you be intact?"
Leng Gongxue said: "Old man, the big villain was killed by me, and the big python, I was brought in by the python, and the python was also killed by me, don't worry, they will never bully you again." ”
The white-haired old man looked surprised, his voice was low but the breath exhaled from his chest was very thick, obviously different from ordinary people. The old man said a good word in his mouth, and he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, it's not that the time has not come?" I finally waited for this day, but unfortunately I waited too long for this day. ”
The old man's voice trembled, full of regret.
Leng Gongxue looked at the old man and said, "Old man, in the future, you can leave here and live a sunny life outside, you should enjoy Qingfu." ”
The white-haired old man nodded and said to himself: "Yes, it's been twenty years, I've been locked up here for more than twenty years, and my wife doesn't know what's going on now, is she still there?"
Leng Gongxue asked curiously: "Old man, do you still have a wife, where does she live? Wait for you to go out, I will help you find the old woman." ”
The old man thought of his wife, and a happy smile bloomed on his wrinkled face. He smiled like a child and said, "My wife is a very famous woman in the rivers and lakes. People are beautiful, gentle and virtuous. ”
Leng Gongxue asked when she heard this: "Old man, then your wife is so good, who is she?"
The old man raised his hand and nodded Leng Gongxue's head and said, "Child, you are still young, you inquire about a woman named Onmyoji Shitai on the rivers and lakes, she is my wife." ”
Leng Gongxue was taken aback when she heard the name of Onmyoji, and asked: "Onmyoji is your wife, are you the father-in-law of the owner of Biyue Village?"
When the old man heard this, two rays of light shot out of his eyes, compared with his previous state, he grabbed Leng Gongxue's hand and asked anxiously: "Do you know them?" That's right, you're right, I haven't seen them for many years, the year I left, Biyue was pregnant, I don't want so many years to pass, they are all right?" The old man longed for Leng Gongxue to bring him good news.
Leng Gongxue silently lowered her head and didn't speak, because when she thought of the Onmyoji Tai, she would think of the owner of Biyue Village and Zi Meng, and when she remembered that the Onmyoji was dead, Zi Meng didn't know where she was, how could he feel at ease.
The white-haired old man saw Leng Gongxue's absent-minded appearance and asked anxiously: "Child, you sue me, where are my wife and my children now, and how are they doing?" I have been missing for more than 20 years, they will definitely hate me for abandoning them, but I am out of helplessness, I originally came here to find an antidote, but I was poisoned and caught by this great evil man, and I have lost my freedom since then."
The white-haired old man urged Leng Gongxue to tell the current situation of the Onmyoji, Leng Gongxue couldn't lie, and was forced to have no choice, so he told the story of the death of the Onmyoji after teaching his martial arts and the murder of the owner of Biyue Village.
When the white-haired old man heard this, he collapsed to the ground, and he burst into tears and couldn't cry. Leng Gongxue hugged the old man and said while crying: "Old man, you have to mourn and change, everything has passed, you have to take good care of your body, you still have two granddaughters who are not where they are at this time, they are also your hope." ”
The old man cried for a while, but slowly stopped crying, he wiped away his tears, tucked the white hair from his forehead back and said, "What's your name?"
Leng Gongxue hurriedly replied: "My name is Leng Gongxue." Don't ask anything else, old man, I've been injured, and now I'm amnesia, except for Zimeng who remembered what happened after he rescued me, I don't remember anything else. ”
The old man nodded and then said: "The Onmyoji Master has passed on all her martial arts secrets to you, you have to be a good person, eliminate those who are in danger of the world, and carry forward the Yin-Yang martial arts." ”
Leng Gongxue nodded.
The old man looked at the little flower on the side and said, "Girl, didn't you say that I know how to give water to the patient? ”
Xiaohua on the side listened to the conversation between the old man and Leng Gongxue, and also cried on the side, and then heard the white-haired old man say this, so she clapped her hands happily and said, "Great, my eldest brother is saved, grandpa, thank you." ”
The white-haired old man shook his head and said, "Don't thank me, I'm also a person who is going to die, and doing something good before dying is also to accumulate virtue for my ancestors, I hope my granddaughters are safe." ”
Leng Gongxue and Xiaohua both nodded.
The white-haired old man sat on the ground and closed his eyes for a quarter of an hour, then opened his eyes, only to see that he was lucky, his hands gathered all his strength, and then he grabbed the iron ring on his feet with both hands, only to hear him shout: "Open!"
In an instant, the iron ring was torn apart by the old man's hands, and then both feet were taken out. ”
Leng Gongxue was impressed by the old man's superb internal strength, and he praised: "Old man, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. ”
The old man smiled faintly and said: "Leng Gongxue, my life has come to an end, my relatives are gone, what is the point of my life, the reason why I didn't use my internal force to open this iron lock before is because once I consume my internal strength, I can only live for five hours, and if I can't see my family at all for these five hours, I have to die." But now that I know that my son, daughter-in-law, and wife are dead, there is no point in my life. If I open this lock today, it means that I will die in a few hours. ”
Leng Gongxue said sadly when she heard this: "Old man, why are you bothered, we will come up with other ways." ”
The old man nodded and said, "I know, but I have always lived until now because of my family, and they have been giving me the strength to survive, and when they are gone, I don't want to be alone anymore." ”
Leng Gongxue was silent, remembering that the Onmyoji was also so desperate, passing on his skills to himself, and then passed away. This old man is so stubborn too.
The white-haired old man said: "I will help you save people first, and then, I will teach you my secret skills of dispensing and martial arts, I see that your qualifications are not comparable to ordinary people, so you must study hard and live up to my expectations." ”
Leng Gongxue saw his ardent hope in the old man's eyes. Leng Gongxue nodded solemnly.
