In Wuyue Province, Moshih City, Shi Yuejian's villa.
As soon as Lou Cheng entered the gate and greeted his senior sister, he saw several seniors sitting on the sofa.
Slanting to this side is "Sinfire Heavenly Lord". He still looks like a middle-aged man, with deep eye sockets, a straight nose, black hair mixed with silver threads, and a little flame-like brilliance hidden in the deep eyes, seemingly silent and introverted. But it feels violent and terrifying.
Thinking back to the tense state of fear and indiscernible depth of prudence when he saw this senior for the first time, Lou Cheng at this moment vaguely grasped the other party's level with the help of the induction of Qi.
It was a "superior class" with strong spirit and artistic conception, but it has obviously declined.
Before I knew it, I was able to look at this senior at the same level... Lou Cheng felt a little emotional for a moment.
Sitting on the couch next to Sin Huo Tianjun, the elegant "Empress Yi" Fei Dan, who looked only about thirty, and the "empty nest old man" Wu Molian, who was lazily smoking a cigar, smiled and looked sideways at Lou Cheng. From time to time, he would look at old man Shi with a teasing look.
Old man Shi with gray hair and few wrinkles turned his head, frowned in disgust and said:
"Why did you come here specially? Just a few old guys insisted that I celebrate my birthday every five and ten. According to our customs, I usually only do nine. Tsk, in terms of age, it's also ten."
Specially "rush" over? Judging from this word... Master, you are actually quite happy, right? Lou Cheng chuckled secretly, and said sternly:
"As a disciple, how can I miss my master's birthday?"
Moreover, master, what you imply is that when you are seventy years old, you want to hold a big event, which will be beautiful
Well, the injury is under control, and I don’t stop coughing after a few “movements”, and I’m a strong man like before, and I’m such a good apprentice, how can I not show off
If old man Shi knew what he was thinking at this time, he would probably have the heart to kick this unworthy disciple to death. He shook his hand and said with a click: "Old man, I don't know you yet, so I just talk nicely. Isn’t it all just a phone call every year, hey, I’ve only been here once!”
... Lou Cheng was stunned for a moment, and after more than ten seconds, he opened his mouth and said:
"Master, you said that you can't use it..."
It's only been three years since I knew Master's birthday, one year I was a part-time coach, I was playing in the National University Martial Arts Competition, one year I just broke my golden core and got rid of the aftereffects, and I was recuperating on the mountain, so I couldn't travel far, so you went to the military's north to recuperate I went on vacation...
I didn't expect you to be such a stingy old man...
"As a teacher, I said I won't use it if I don't use it? This is a test of your sincerity. You don't want to think about allusions, you brat." Old man Shi laughed and scolded in a good mood, then pointed to the living room, "Find it yourself. take a seat."
Lou Cheng greeted several seniors respectively, found a single sofa and sat down, assuming that I only wear ears and will not interrupt indiscriminately.
Wu Molian took a sip of her cigar and said with a smile:
"Jianguo..."
"How many times have I said it, don't call me by my name!" Old Man Shi interrupted, blowing his beard and staring.
Wu Molian chuckled, and said to himself:
"Looking at what you were doing just now, you thought you had accepted an unworthy apprentice. Why don't we discuss it and transfer the apprentice to me? Hey, speaking of it, you usually don't show yourself in the master's business, so why are you so relaxed? Has Songjiao produced a foreign disciple? For so many years, we have never seen a good successor."
"Don't pull me, my closed disciple has already passed away." "Queen of Yi" Fei Dan interjected.
She was referring to "Sleeping Tiger" An Chaoyang.
"You lazy old bastard, how can you teach your disciples to compare with me?" Old man Shi suddenly felt complacent, "Speaking of which, Lin Que of old man Ji's family took the step of becoming alchemy, the crucial step, and I was the old man. The guidance is completed, and in just two years, the foundation has been laid for the two outsiders, hey, it’s not that I look down on you guys, you are far behind this matter.”
Lou Cheng almost laughed when he heard it, but relying on his super self-control ability, he maintained a serious expression, and nodded in agreement with his master at the right time.
Shi Yuejian also pursed her lips, quietly gave Lou Cheng a thumbs up, and walked into the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous lunch.
"This kind of thing." "Sinhuo Tianjun" snorted, "Heaven is not human."
Good seedlings are rare, and they are easily cut off by others!
"What's this called? Didn't you take in a good apprentice back then? As a result, he was surrounded by people in a war-torn area, leaving him with only half his life left, and he was trapped in an inhuman realm for the rest of his life." Shi The old man immediately retorted.
"Sin Huo Tianjun" replied angrily: "Isn't it just to join you! You have made fewer mistakes in war-torn areas? Enemies are everywhere!"
"I want to be fair." Wu Molian said with a smile, "Jianguo, uh, old man Shi did better than you in war-torn areas. Once, he fell into a trap and was blocked by three outsiders. The guy from God of War was the leader, and he was able to break out of the siege by force, but he just came back and lay down for two months, and he had to be served by urinating and defecating."
"If it wasn't for their cooperation, I would be able to hang up and beat any one who came!" Old man Shi dismissed it.
Taking advantage of this topic, several seniors who used to be all-powerful recalled the past, sometimes talking about who and who did what in the war-torn area, and sometimes bragging about it, saying that half of the twenty titles of "Empress Yi" were due to My father and I didn't participate in the professional competition at that time, but all these cowhide were blocked by Fei Dan calmly.
She said, "Don't open your mouth if you lose more than seven times out of ten times," so Comrade Shi Jianguo, Comrade Wu Molian, and Comrade Sinhuo fell silent.
"Skills are better than actual combat... If I hadn't been seriously injured..." After dozens of seconds, old man Shi muttered something in a low voice, and then turned the topic back to the past in the war-torn area with lightning speed.
His realm at the peak was on the same level as "Empress Yi", and he was only half a step away from the taboo field. Unfortunately, he failed to break through, and could only look at the latecomer with admiration.
Lou Cheng listened thoughtfully, but resisted the urge to speak. He asked Comrade Shi Jianguo at the top of the stairs after lunch was over and several seniors went upstairs to have a rest:
"Master, who is the forbidden strongman who hurt you back then?"
Old man Shi glanced at him, smiled and said:
"What? Want to avenge my teacher? So confident to step into the taboo field?"
"At this point, how can I not imagine and attack this field, but my disciples are very clear-headed, this is very difficult, and it will take ten or twenty years." Lou Cheng replied calmly, "At that time, if you succeed, you will be able to do your best. I am obliged to avenge you, Master."
"Revenge for what?" Old man Shi said angrily, "As a teacher, I can eat, sleep, drink and dance now, and it will not be a problem to live another twenty or thirty years. It's life and death, those who want to find revenge for the teacher can be queued from here to the urban area, it's not worth it, it's not worth it."
Speaking of this, he heyed twice: "Unless the teacher in the future dies prematurely because of this incident and fails to die, then there is a need for revenge. Otherwise, when things happen, you will disgust the other party and spoil his good deeds. "
But Master, your hope of breaking through is cut off because of this... Lou Cheng secretly sighed, and then some doubts arose, he frowned and thought for a moment, and couldn't help but ask:
"Then how will you judge whether you, Master, have died of old age or passed away early because of this matter?"
No one knows how old they will live...
Hearing this question, old man Shi was stunned for a moment, then cursed:
"You kid really miss your master's death!"
Dogs bark!
Uh... Lou Cheng's expression froze.
Old man Shi snorted, walked up the stairs with his hands behind his back, halfway through, he suddenly sighed and said:
"In fact, when I was seriously injured as a teacher, there was no hope of breaking through the boundary between man and god. It was already in my fifties, unless, unless I was ten years younger..."
His tone was complicated, his footsteps did not stop, and he disappeared at the corner of the stairs in a blink of an eye.
Lou Cheng listened in a daze, feeling a little depressed.
He walked up to the second floor step by step, just in time to see the "Empress" Fei Dan coming from the balcony at the end of the corridor.
"Your master is right. At our age, the most difficult and most natural thing to do is obey the old man, which has nothing to do with outsiders." She smiled and nodded.
Then, she passed Lou Cheng, walked towards the guest room, and sighed while shaking her head:
"Life, old age, sickness and death are suffering..."
"As long as you live, you will grow old..."
