"How old do you think I am?" The muscles on his cheeks twitched a few times, and he asked an irrelevant question stiffly.

"From the outside, you are about sixty years old, but since you ask this question, your age must not match your appearance. Could it be that you are older or much younger?" Han Li was a little surprised, but his tone remained the same. Said plainly.

"Tsk tsk! It's really a person who has practiced the 'Changchun Kungfu'. A kid from the countryside has turned into such a smart and intelligent person!" Doctor Mo kept admiring, and began to look at him eagerly. with him.

"You guessed right, I'm only thirty-seven years old this year." Doctor Mo said a number that Han Li couldn't believe.

"Impossible?" Han Li, who had remained calm all this time, was startled for the first time.

"Impossible! It is indeed impossible! People who see me, let alone think that I am sixty years old, even if they declare that I am seventy years old, no one will doubt it." Doctor Mo's voice suddenly became louder. It sharpened again, hearing Han Li's ears, it was so piercing and uncomfortable, as if it touched the most painful part of his heart.

"I, Mo Juren, had a great reputation in the martial arts of Lanzhou in the Yue Kingdom in the early years. I made a big name and created a world of my own with bare hands. Hehe! At that time, who in Lanzhou didn't know the reputation of my 'ghost hand', Regardless of black and white, those who follow me live, and those who oppose me." Doctor Mo resumed his original tone, and slowly narrated his own story in a low tone. Following his own description, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, as if he had returned to the time when he was full of vigor and power.

Hearing Doctor Mo's words, Han Li was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that his nominal master would have such a big background.

"Unfortunately, the good times don't last long. When I was just entering middle age and was about to further develop my strengths, I was plotted against by a villain, and my confidants used insidious methods. , but he couldn’t heal himself, his martial arts were greatly reduced, and he couldn’t gain a foothold in the local area. In order to avoid the enemy’s conspiracy, he had to leave his original foundation and family and disappeared, and searched for a cure in other places in Yue, hoping to restore the original state. He has the skills." When he was narrating his later encounters, he was completely immersed in the narration of the past, his hands were clenched into fists, and the nails on his hands were deeply inserted into the palms of his hands, bleeding , but he seemed to be completely unaware of this, and only showed a ferocious expression of gritted teeth on his face. This kind of vicious expression made people tremble with chills. It seems that he hated the villain who murdered him at that time. .

Hearing the lingering hatred in his words, Han Li couldn't help but shudder all over, and felt a cool chill in his heart.

"Heaven has eyes. Finally, in a certain mysterious place, I accidentally obtained a strange book. This book is strange and profound. It took me a lot of effort to understand a little bit, and found the recovery from it. The shortcut to skill, I followed the method mentioned above, and it turned out..." Doctor Mo paused for a moment, and didn't continue immediately, but his annoyed expression was clearly visible, and there was also some regret mixed in.

"As a result, you turned into the ghost you are now." Han Li coldly spoke out what he wanted to say but didn't finish.

"That's right. I didn't expect that after following the method in that book, my skills would recover, but my body would rapidly age, and I would turn into the present half-human, half-ghost appearance." He nodded sadly, not getting angry at Han Li's sarcasm.

"You should have found the reason by now."

"I was caused by inappropriate behavior and being invaded by evil spirits. Now I live a day equivalent to the energy consumption of ordinary people living ten days, and I am overdrawing my life every moment. Fortunately, I am proficient in the art of recuperation and according to the book According to the above, a secret medicine has been prepared, which can slow down the aging speed in recent years and support it until now."

"What does the formula I practice have anything to do with solving your troubles?" Han Li went straight to the core of the problem.

"Not long after I became like this, I studied the solution from the book, which is the 'Changchun Kung Fu' you practiced. As long as someone who has practiced to the fourth level can help me massage and use Changchun Qi to stimulate By opening the secret cave, I can get rid of the current predicament and regain the lost essence."

"Why do you have to find me? Can you just find someone to practice this?" Han Li pondered for a while, then asked a question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

"Do you think this 'Changchun Gong' can be learned by any cat or dog? This mantra not only requires young people to practice from scratch, but also requires the practitioner to have a 'spiritual root' physique. Although I don't know what a 'spiritual root' is, But I have found hundreds of children before you, but none of them can practice Changchun Kung Fu." Doctor Mo's face was filled with annoyance.

"Is there such a thing?" Han Li was a little taken aback, he didn't expect the practice of this formula to be so harsh.

"During the rest of my life, I thought it was impossible to find someone who could practice the mantra, so I pretended to be a wild man and started wandering around. I didn't expect to see the head of the Qixuanmen who was also plotted against. Under the circumstances of the same sickness, he stretched out his hand to save his life, and then at his invitation, he became an enshrinement in the door, and prepared to spend his last days on the mountain incognito. Hehe! A miracle still happened At first, I was afraid that all my medical skills and martial arts would be lost, so I recruited you into the valley. I really wanted to take you two as apprentices, but at that time, for some reason, I asked you to try the Changchun Kungfu by some strange coincidence. Have a fluke mentality. In fact, even if you can't practice this mantra, you will be accepted and passed on to the next two. But what you never expected is that you will respond to this exercise. Haha! The Road to Nowhere!" Doctor Mo solved all these mysteries in one breath, his face was covered with a sickly blush, and he seemed very proud of his luck.

"I haven't practiced the fourth level of Changchun kungfu yet, why do you want to restrain me at this time and share all this with me?" Han Li finally asked the question he is most concerned about right now.

"It's your own fault. I have spent so much effort and effort on you, but you can't satisfy me and always play tricks with me. Now it's the last step, but you still refuse Going one step further, originally I could have waited for you for two more years, but when I went down the mountain this time, I was recognized by an enemy. Even if I try my best, I can only live for one more year, how can you tell me to wait?" Doctor Mo's complacent expression disappeared without a trace, replaced by a fierce look, Finally, he roared at Han Li.

After listening to Han Li, his expression was normal, and there was no sign of being touched on his face. But his heart was full of turbulent waves, and he was not as confident and calm as he appeared on the surface.

Although he had expected that Dr. Mo had deep plans for him, he never thought that there would be such a big inside story. The other party's life experience, experience, and cultivation formulas all exceeded his imagination.
