Chapter Ninety-Seven: Swearing to Save the Old Man
The old man said: "You said it earlier, doesn't this affect my appetite?" After speaking, he opened his mouth to eat fish in a big gulp. Now is the time to fulfill the gambling contract, right?" the old man hurriedly said: "What are you anxious about, the taste of the fish is just right now, and the hot and cold are just right, and the main thing for me now is to eat the fish as soon as possible." As for the rest, I'll wait until I'm done eating the fish. So the old man ignored Xiao Yu's obstruction, turned around and took the fish and ate it in a big gulp.
It didn't take long for the old man to finally finish eating the whole fish. At this time, the old man smacked his lips, as if he was still unsatisfied. Xiao Yu laughed and said, "Now we can honor our bet, right?" The old man looked at Xiao Yu and sighed: "Do you think I am so willing to stay here? I can't get out of here at all, so I stay here so honestly." After listening to this, Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "How can it be like that, aren't you very powerful?Is there anything else that can trap you?" The old man laughed and said: "If there is anything that can trap me, then there are really not many now, I dare not say anything else, but there is really almost nothing in this world, but although I look very cynical, I am very trustworthy." I had a fight with a guy many, many years ago. Just like you now, you made a bet at that time. But unfortunately I lost to that person, and that person's condition was that whoever lost would stay here forever. ”
Koizumi hurriedly said: "There are no absolutes, there should always be a way to work, and it is impossible to freeze all at once." The old man laughed and said, "There is indeed a workaround, but I have no way to crack what he said, so I am trapped here." Xiao Yu Ha Ha Da Lu smiled: "I said, how can you stay here so honestly." But you're in luck. The old man looked at Xiao Yu and said, "I've been trapped here for so many years, you actually say that I'm very lucky?" Xiao Yu said with a smile: "I didn't say that you were very lucky before, but you were very lucky after meeting me." The old man glared at Xiao Yu vigorously and said, "I've known you for a while, but I don't see that I'm lucky." Xiao Yu smiled and said: "You will know immediately how lucky you will be to meet me, but you should talk about the gambling contract first, whether you can get out of the contract or not, our gambling contract still counts." ”
The old man looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Okay, I promised you anyway, I'll talk about this bet now." Your fish is delicious, but it's only slightly better than my fish. Xiao Yu Ha Da Lu smiled and said: "Then you just admit that you lost to me?" The old man sighed and said: "It seems that I shouldn't bet with others in my life, I made such two bets in total, and I lost them all." Xiao Yu said: "You tell me what the other party told you what the requirements are, and I will find a way to help you crack it." The old man smiled and said, "I've been thinking about it here for many years, but there has been no result, will you come here for a few days?" Xiao Yu smiled and said, "You're old, aren't I young? After saying that, Ha Lu laughed.
The old man looked at Xiao Yu and said: "Xie Lu, thank you for bringing me a lot of happiness these days, you are stronger than that Hongran, I don't know how many times Lu Dao, that guy looks old-fashioned, and he has no vitality at all." You calm down now, I'll teach you this skill I know, after teaching you, you can leave quickly, I also see that you are not an ordinary existence, and you will definitely do something in the future. Now you don't have to think about anything, just sit quietly and listen to me. ”
Xiao Yu saw the old man's serious appearance, so he closed his eyes and did it. The old man said, "To learn this skill, you must first use the mind you have just learned to be free of distractions. Xiao Yu listened and did according to the old man's words. Then the old man said: "Then use the nerve center of your brain to release your willpower as much as possible." Xiao Yu then did as the old man said. The old man continued, 'Actually, I have taught you the first two things, and with your ingenuity you can almost understand them, but I will tell you all the process and save you a lot of trouble. Now feel for yourself. Just tell me what you feel in a moment. After speaking, the old man stood by and looked at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu listened to the old man's words, released his own thoughts, and slowly realized. Gradually, a lot of things appeared in Xiao Yu's brain, that was where he got the worms, that was those powerful creatures, and the scenes that Xiao Yu had seen appeared in Xiao Yu's mind. Xiao Yu tried hard to let her willpower fly out of the road in a farther direction. At this time, Xiao Yu saw Yanli Xiaohong and the others, they had learned the energy that Xiaohong had given them. Xiao Yu seemed to feel that there was a ball of energy moving in Xiao Hong's air, and after Xiao Yu's careful observation, it turned out to be Hongran.
Suddenly, a ray of light pierced, and Xiao Yu fell to the ground on her back. The old man hurriedly picked up Xiao Yu and said, "You have just started to learn this skill, you can't be too anxious and say that your current energy is not so great, you must not force yourself too much." Xiao Yu rubbed his eyes and asked, "Why did that ray of light suddenly appear?" The old man said, "That is, you have exceeded your limit, so in order to prevent you from going mad, the appearance of that ray of light is to protect you." ”
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "It seems that my qualifications are still not good." The old man hurriedly said, "Tell me what you saw first." Koizumi told the old man what he saw from beginning to end. The old man looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Do you still think that your qualifications are not good?" What do you say about Hongran's qualifications?" Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "Master Hongran's qualifications are naturally very high, and I can't compare with him at all if I am only under you." The old man said with a smile: "But when Hongran first learned this ability, he could only see the things inside this paradise, and he couldn't see the things outside at all." Xiao Yu looked at the old man and said, "You won't be coaxing me to play, right?" The old man laughed and said, "Is it necessary for me to coax you?
Xiao Yu continued: "Then why is Master Hongran now able to see what is about to happen in the future, while I can only see what is in reality?" The old man said: "How long has that guy Hongran learned this skill, do you know the Tao? If I am not mistaken, he should have learned this ability for more than a hundred years." Xiao Yu was shocked and said, "No, has Master Hongran learned for so long?" The old man nodded and said: "Yes, as long as you take some time out to exercise more every day in the future, it won't be long before you will slowly see the future things, but you have to remember my words, don't be in a hurry, in that case, not every time there will be such a light to protect you, and once you go crazy, then everything for you will be over." ”
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely remember what you said." The old man nodded and said, "You have been here for a long time, so now is the time for you to leave, and I have already handed over all this skill to you." Xiao Yu looked at the old man and said, "How can it be done." You lost the bet to me, so you'll have to go out with me. The old man laughed and said: "It's not that I don't want to go out, it's really that I have no choice, I must be trustworthy, I have promised others, I must do it." ”
Koizumi said with a smile: "My principle is the same, or I won't promise others, as long as it is what I promised, I will definitely do it." So I'm not going to let you betray your principles at all, but didn't they set you a problem? Now tell me this problem, and I'll help you solve it. The old man laughed and said, "If it were that simple, then I wouldn't be here a long time ago." Xiao Yu laughed and said, "You can talk about the problem, but if I solve it, you must also honor your bet." The old man smiled and said, "As long as you can solve that problem, I will definitely fulfill my bet and go out with you, and I will not only go out with you, but also always be by your side." ”
Xiao Yu said with a smile: "The husband has said everything, but it is difficult for the horse to chase." The old man snorted and said, "The old man has lived for such an age, even if he paints it all a nail, you don't have to worry about this." Xiao Yu said: "Since that's the case, then you should hurry up and tell that problem." In fact, Xiao Yu didn't think about how the old man would follow him, mainly because Xiao Yu felt that the old man was too lonely here, and just wanted the old man to leave here, but if Xiao Yu didn't say this to the old man, the old man would not have said the problem at all.
The old man looked at Xiao Yu and finally spoke: "The problem is like this, that person told me when he left, let me find out where the soul of a creature or a plant is before leaving, but I thought about it for a long time but I still couldn't figure out what their soul was." The point is that none of them are one existence, so where can I find their souls? So I said that it was a dead question, and there was no solution at all. ”
Xiao Yu frowned and said: "It is impossible to have no solution, as long as it is a question that can be said, there will inevitably be a solution, but we didn't expect it." The old man laughed and said, "Do you mean that you think of how to solve this problem?" Xiao Yu glanced at the old man vigorously and said, "You are really a prodigy when I am." I've just learned that this problem can be solved so quickly?" the old man laughed and said, "I guess even if you give it a long time, you won't solve it at all." Xiao Yu snorted when she heard this: "I don't want a long time, I only need three days is enough, but in these three days, you must not disturb me, including eating, you can't call me, I won't do anything in these three days, I have to calm down and think about this problem." The old man nodded and left, and said before leaving: "If you can really solve this problem in three days, then you are the only person I admire in my life." I will treat you as my master, and I will never object to you from now on, even if I let me die, I will not hesitate at all. But Xiao Yu didn't hear what the old man said at all, and now Xiao Yu had already sat down and began to concentrate on thinking about difficult problems.
Xiao Yu's first consideration was to start with the word soul. The soul generally refers to the thing that governs the existence of living organisms or the human body, but what can a plant say is a soul? It seems that the explanation of this soul is not a soul in the true sense of the word, so how should it be explained? Xiao Yu thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with some eyebrows. It seems that this interpretation of the soul is the essence of all things. Although we said that the time seems to be very short, Xiao Yu has already passed a day.
After thinking of these questions, Xiao Yu seemed to be a lot more relaxed, and she knew everything in this paradise. It's just that there are some creatures, ponds, plants with insects, and the last one is the plant where Xiao Yu gets the essence. But what is the essence of their souls? Xiao Yu frowned and kept thinking, but there was no answer. Soon the next day passed. Xiao Yu's head hurt a little, but Xiao Yu still refused to relax.
Early in the morning of the third day, the old man came to a place not far from Xiao Yu to look at Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu still sat there and never moved. The old man didn't bother Xiao Yu, but not long after, Xiao Yu suddenly fell down. When the old man saw this scene, he immediately came to Xiao Yu and helped Xiao Yu up. After a while, Xiao Yu finally opened her eyes. At this time, the old man asked with concern: "Little guy, what's wrong with you, isn't it too much trouble these days?" Xiao Yu reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Maybe, how much time is there until three days now?"
The old man hurriedly said: "That is not important anymore, I really thank you now, although we have not had much contact time, but you can do so much for me, although I have also promised you a lot of requirements, but this is not easy." Xiao Yu looked at the old man and said, "Did you promise me anything? Why don't I know anything about it?" The old man hurriedly said, "Didn't you hear the conditions I promised you?" Xiao Yu laughed and said: "I was just thinking about these questions at the time, and I didn't hear what you said." To be honest, I just feel like it's so boring for you to be here alone, I just want you to get out of here, and I really don't think about anything else. I have the same principles as you, tell me how many days are left before you are. ”
When the old man heard what Xiao Yu said, tears fell instantly, he originally thought that Xiao Yu would think so desperately for his own conditions, but Xiao Yu did it without knowing those conditions at all. What does this mean, this is simply too noble quality, even the immortals of the fairy world can't do that at all. So the old man said, "There is almost a day before the end of the three-day period, and now it is only the beginning of the third day." I've been thinking about these questions for hundreds of years, and you don't have to force yourself to come up with the answers in three days, as long as you can get along with them, the answers to the questions are already very rare. If you force yourself like that, you'll fail. ”
Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Didn't you say, male ** husband, it must be a nail when you smear it, and you must do what you promise to others, I already have some eyebrows just now, you are giving me some time, I believe I will definitely think of the answer when the three days are full." After speaking, Xiao Yu closed her eyes again and remembered. The old man slowly stood some distance away from Xiao Yu, and thought to himself: This Xiao Yu is really exactly the same as when he was young. is a force that does not admit defeat, and he really likes him more and more, no wonder Hongran pleads so much for him. If Xiao Yu really thought of a way to solve that problem this time, he would definitely stay by Xiao Yu's side. And he will also hand over his other stunt to Xiao Yu, although his own master once told him about that stunt. You must not teach it to anyone casually, not because you are selfish, that kind of kung fu is a bit evil, if you teach it to someone with bad intentions, it will definitely endanger the martial arts. But Xiao Yu doesn't know that Lu Dao has another ability now, and he is so selfless and paying for himself, such a person may not be encountered in the whole world, who else will he teach if he doesn't teach him?"
Xiao Yu's mind is now full of how to solve those problems, many things Xiao Yu has actually thought of, but there is only one that Xiao Yu has not thought of until now, that is, those primitive creatures. Those are all very strong existences, and they are so different, how can they have the same essence together?Xiao Yu thought desperately. As I continue to think deeply, although these creatures are very strong, they still have a docile side, not only for primitive creatures, but also for any person or creature. So what is their essence? Suddenly, Xiao Yu thought of something. So Xiao Yu stood up happily and said, "It turns out that it's so simple." Why didn't I think of that? Now I finally understand the truth. ”
