C65 (1/2)
As he spoke, the old man clapped his hands on his thigh and laughed heartily. ”We are indeed from the same village.”
These few laughs were full of vigor and vigor. It shook the room so much that the rest of the sound faded away, and the room buzzed.
Wu Yuxue did not expect that they would actually be in the same hometown. When they got to the same hometown, they seemed to be infinitely close to each other.
”Little friend, how old are you this year?” the old man asked.
”I dare not,” said Xue Yu. ”Twenty-six, where is your father?”
”Haha …” The old man stroked his beard and said, ”I'm old, I'm old. ”If it wasn't for you taking advantage of me, young friend, I'm afraid you would be even older than your grandfather. Now that you're old, let's not talk about your age.”
This was good. He didn't even say his name or age, but in the end, he actually took over Grandfather's seniority.
Wu Yuxue, on the other hand, was easy to control. She smiled and was not angry.
Although they had only known each other for a short while, Wu Yuxue had already seen many anomalies from this old man. It was enough to prove that this old man before her was not an ordinary man.
He was obviously very old, but apart from his hair and beard, there was no other trace of his age. Especially when he was laughing, his teeth were white and neat.
Wu Yuxue paid particular attention to the calm attitude of the old man, who seemed to have a soft body and a pair of eyes that hid the essence of his body like a noble and beautiful woman.
He assumed that if the other person was not a cultivated and righteous gentleman, it would be extremely difficult for them to meet a half-immortal character in the martial arts world.
Regardless of whether it was the former or the latter, they were both enough to make people revere them and not let them miss out on them.
While Wu Yuxue was lost in thought, he noticed that the little monkey was jumping up and down from time to time beside the old man. It was very nimble.
The man and the monkey had been together for many years, and it seemed as if they were extremely close. In the end, they had to hide within the old man's sleeves before they could finally calm down.
A patch of winter sun shone on the old man's rosy face. He blinked his eyelashes slightly, then closed his eyes.
Wu Yu Xue thought he was going to rest and was about to leave when the old man suddenly opened his eyes and said, ”Don't go yet, we'll talk later.” With a smile on his face, he pointed at the teapot on the table and said, ”Come, come, this is the ginseng juice I poured for you this morning. A glass of it would be beneficial to you.”
Wu Yuxue said hesitantly, ”This...”
”You're welcome, you're welcome. You are a scholar, so you should be aware of the elders' bestowment. Do you need me to pour it for you? ” The old man said.
”I will follow your orders.” Wu Yuxue said.
He walked over to the table and picked up the pot. As expected, it was warm enough, but when he poured it into the cup, he realized that the cup of ”ginseng juice” was very ordinary and bright red in color. If Wu Yu Xue didn't recognize the cup as ”ginseng juice”, it would be no different from blood.
Wu Yuxue was holding it in her hand, not daring to speak for the moment.
The old man snorted and said, ”I was wrong about this opportunity. I'm afraid it will be hard to find it in my life. Why don't you drink it?”
As he spoke, the old man's eyes were full of reproach.
Wu Yuxue became more and more convinced that this old man was not ordinary, that they had met by chance and that there was no reason to frame her.
These mutants could only cross paths with one fate, and once fate had passed, it would be difficult to redeem it later.
As he thought this, he did not dare to hesitate any longer. He raised his cup and drank a mouthful.
This cup of red, thick, and seemingly bloody juice was unimaginably difficult to swallow, yet he did not know that as soon as it was in his mouth, there was a strange fragrance that filled his throat, making him feel extremely comfortable. The juice was slightly astringent, yet there was a hint of sweetness in it, and although it was not good, it could not be swallowed.
The white-haired old man smiled and said, ”Do you know what you drank?”
”Isn't it some kind of juice?” Wu Yuxue said.
”A small part of it is ginseng juice, from the wild ginseng of high mountains.” The old man stared at him and slowly said, ”Anything else is hard to find.”
Before long, she felt as if her entire body was burning as she wanted to take off her clothes. The white-haired old man said, ”You are still young and you have good results. You must be feeling really hot right now, so you might as well take off your long robe first.”
As she spoke, Wu Yuxue was covered in sweat. Since the other party had already said so, he took off his long robe. For a moment, he was overjoyed.
”What you drank just now was the blood of a thousand year old poisonous python.” The white-haired old man said.
Wu Yu Xue couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this.
The old man raised his hand to stop him from speaking. ”You needn't be afraid, the mandrich is poisonous, but the blood is pure and doesn't contain any poison. Not only that, once you drink it, it will bring unimaginable benefits to your injuries. If my eyesight is not bad, little friend, your injuries are not light at all! ”
Speechless' eyes immediately widened as he nodded and said, ”That's right. How did you know?”
The old man chuckled and said, ”Good question. I won't hide it from you, young friend. Besides selling paper and pens, I also know how to treat people.” Don't misunderstand me. It would be a mistake to think that I am one of the grassroots in the martial arts world who asks for a doctor. I have a rule to treat patients. I only look at difficult illnesses, and that's anything that others think highly of. I refuse to look at it … ”I would rather die than to help someone who is not kind to me …”
At this point, he couldn't help but raise his head and laugh twice before continuing, ”So, in the area of the West Kunlun, there are some people who know me that call me Mad Hua Lun.”
Wu Yuxue thought to herself. Indeed, she had never heard of the nickname 'Madness' before. She was getting more and more curious about this old man in front of her.
Due to the golden chicken's poison palm, although he relied on Lady Han's Seven Fingers Snow Mountain's ”Life Continuing Golden Elixir” effect and his own strength to forcefully seal the poison within the ”Qi Hai Acupuncture Point”, he was still unable to completely cure the poison. Once it flared up, it would still be fatal.
The white-haired old man in front of him had only used his observation to quickly see through the injuries on Wu Yu Xue's body. Judging by his strength, he was quite ordinary.
At that moment, he left his seat and went to seek medical attention.
The old man nodded and said, ”Your illness has always emphasized the word 'poison', but?”
Wu Yuxue sighed and said, ”The old mister is truly a man of God.”
The old man smiled and said, ”From your eyes, I can see the severity of your injuries. The color of your eyes is blue, which means that you have quite a good realm in your inner force, as if you have already entered the upper realm. It's a pity that you haven't reached the peak yet. Otherwise, how could the poison in front of you be effective? ”
After pausing for a moment, he continued, ”Now that you have gold in your eyes, this proves that although the poison in your body has been restrained by you and has not flared up, it is still extremely potent. Once it flares up, it will become a great disaster … ”As the proverb goes, it's better to do it than to do it by coincidence. This cup of python blood of mine just happened to be the right medicine to cure you of the poison. It's your gift for saving my life …”
