Wuyue Province, Moshang City, in Shi Yuejian's villa.
As soon as Lou Cheng walked into the door and greeted his senior sister, he saw several seniors sitting on the sofa.
Facing this side is the "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 his deep eyes. He seems silent and reserved.
But it gives people a violent and scary feeling.
Recalling the fearful and tense state and the cautious feeling of not being able to see the depth when he first met this senior, at this moment, Lou Cheng used the sense of Qi machine to vaguely grasp the other person's level.
It was "super first-rate" with strong spirit and deep artistic conception, but it has obviously declined.
Before I knew it, I was able to look at this senior directly... Lou Cheng felt a little emotional for a moment.
Sitting on the couch beside Sinhuo Tianjun were the elegant "Yihou" Fei Dan, who was only about thirty years old, and the "empty nester" Wu Molian, who was lazily smoking a cigar. They looked sideways at Lou Cheng with smiles.
, looking at Old Man Shi with a teasing look from time to time.
Old Shi, with white hair and few wrinkles, turned his head and frowned in disgust:
"Why are you here all the time? A few old guys insist on letting me celebrate my birthday every fifth and tenth. According to our custom, we usually only celebrate nine. Tsk, in terms of virtual age, it's already ten."
Specially "rushed" here? Judging from this word...Master, you are actually quite happy, right? Lou Cheng chuckled secretly and said righteously:
"As a disciple, how can you miss Master's birthday?"
Moreover, Master, what you are implying is that when you are seventy years old, you want to have a grand event with great scenery?
Well, the injury is under control. I no longer keep coughing after a few "movements". I am now the strong man I once was. Moreover, I have taken on such a good disciple. How can I not show off?
If Old Man Shi knew what he was thinking at this time, he would probably kick this unscrupulous disciple to death. He shook his hand, tutted and said: "Old man, I don't know you yet, so you just say nice things.
Isn’t it always just a phone call every year? Hey, I just came once!”
... Lou Cheng was stunned for a moment, and after more than ten seconds he spoke:
"Master, you said you didn't want to come..."
Knowing that Master's birthday is only three years away, you have been working part-time as a coach for one year, competing in the national competition of the university martial arts association, and just one year after breaking the golden elixir to get rid of the sequelae, you are recuperating in the mountains and cannot travel far, so you went to the military recuperation center in the north.
Went on vacation...
I didn't expect you to be such a stingy and vengeful old man...
"Why don't you come if I say you don't want to come as a teacher? This is a test of your sincerity, brat, don't you want to think about the allusions and all those things like Men Lixue." Old Man Shi smiled and cursed in a good mood, then pointed to the living room, "Find it yourself.
Take a seat."
Lou Cheng asked several seniors how they were doing, and found a single sofa to sit down on, assuming that I only had my ears on and wouldn't interrupt randomly.
Wu Molian took a puff of his cigar and said with a smile:
"Jianguo..."
"How many times have I told you, don't call me by my name directly!" Old Man Shi interrupted, blowing his beard and glaring.
Wu Molian chuckled and said to himself:
"Looking at the way you acted just now, I thought you had accepted an unscrupulous disciple. How about we discuss and transfer the disciple to me? Hey, come to think of it, you usually don't show off in the master's profession, so why are you so relaxed?
How about a disciple of Waigang from Songjiao? We have been training for so many years, but we have never seen a good successor."
"Don't hold me back, my closed disciple has already left Waigang." "Unexpectedly," Fei Dan interrupted.
She was referring to "Sleeping Tiger" An Chaoyang.
"You lazy old guy, how can your disciples compare to me?" Old Man Shi suddenly felt proud, "Speaking of which, Lin Que from Old Man Ji's family, the most important step to become an alchemy realm, is also the important step for me, old man.
The guidance was completed in just two years, and the foundation was laid for the two Wai Gang. Hey, it’s not that I look down on you, you are still far behind in this matter."
Lou Cheng almost laughed when he heard this, but with his strong self-control ability, he kept a serious expression and nodded in agreement with his master.
Shi Yuejian also pursed his lips, quietly gave Lou Cheng a thumbs up, and walked into the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous lunch.
"This kind of thing." "Sin Huo Tianjun" snorted, "It's up to heaven and not to humans."
Good seedlings don’t come around very often, and they can easily be cut off by others!
"What's that? Didn't you accept a good disciple at the beginning? As a result, he was surrounded by people in a war-torn area, leaving him with only half a life left, and he was trapped in an inhuman realm for the rest of his life." Shi.
The old man immediately retorted.
"Sinfire Heavenly Lord" replied angrily: "I am not going to meet you! You have made fewer mistakes in war-torn areas? Enemies are everywhere!"
"I want to be fair about this." Wu Molian said with a smile, "Jianguo, uh, old man Shi did better than you in the war-torn areas. Once, he fell into a trap and was blocked by three outer gangs. That's what
The guy from the God of War took the lead, and he was able to forcefully break out of the encirclement, but he just came back and lay there for two months, having to be serviced by someone to urinate and defecate."
"If they hadn't joined forces, I could hang up any one of them and beat him!" Mr. Shi said with disdain.
Through this topic, several old-timers who were once all-powerful recalled the past, sometimes talking about who did what in the war-torn areas, and sometimes bragging, saying that half of the twenty titles of "Yihou" were due to
The guys didn't participate in the professional competition at that time, but Fei Dan calmly stopped these bullshit.
She said, "If you compete with me ten times and lose more than seven times, don't speak." Then Comrade Shi Jianguo, Comrade Wu Molian, and Comrade Zui Huo fell silent.
"It's better to have the ability than to fight... If I hadn't been seriously injured later..." After a few dozen seconds, Old Man Shi muttered in a low voice, and then with lightning speed, he changed the topic back to the past in the war-torn area.
His peak state was on the same level as "Yi Hou", both were only half a step away from the taboo realm. Unfortunately, he failed to break through, and could only look at the latecomers with sighs.
Lou Cheng listened thoughtfully, but resisted the urge to speak. After lunch was over and several seniors went upstairs to take a nap, he asked Comrade Shi Jianguo at the top of the stairs:
"Master, who was the taboo strongman who hurt you back then?"
Old Man Shi glanced at him, smiled and said:
"What? You want to avenge your teacher? Are you so confident about entering the forbidden realm?"
"At this point, how can we not imagine and impact this field, but the disciple is very clear-headed. This is very difficult, and it will take ten or twenty years." Lou Cheng answered calmly, "By then, if I succeed, I will be able to fulfill my disciple's duty."
It is my duty to avenge you, Master."
"What kind of revenge?" Old Man Shi said angrily, "As a teacher, I can eat, sleep, drink and dance now. It's not a problem to live for another twenty or thirty years. What if I have to fight against the Taboo strong man just because of my previous serious injury?
It's a fight to the death, and those who want to avenge their master can line up from here to the city, it's not worth it, it's not worth it."
At this point, he chuckled twice: "Unless my master dies early due to this incident and does not die in peace, then there is a need for revenge. Otherwise, if something happens, I will disgust the other person and ruin his good deeds.
"
But Master, your hope of breakthrough has been cut off because of this... Lou Cheng sighed secretly, and then he had some doubts. He frowned and thought for a moment, and couldn't help but ask:
"Then how will we judge whether Master, you will die of old age or pass away prematurely due to this incident?"
No one knows how many years they will live...
Hearing this question, Old Man Shi was stunned for a moment, then cursed:
"You kid really want your master to die!"
No ivory comes out of a dog's mouth!
Uh... Lou Cheng's expression suddenly became dull.
Old Shi snorted and walked up the stairs with his hands behind his hands. Halfway there, he suddenly sighed and said:
"Actually, when I was seriously injured, there was no hope of breaking through the boundary between humans and gods. I was already in my fifties, unless, unless I was ten years younger..."
His tone was complicated, and without stopping, he disappeared around the corner of the stairs in an instant.
Lou Cheng listened in a daze, feeling a little depressed.
He walked up to the second floor step by step, and happened to see "Yi Hou" Fedan coming from the balcony at the end of the corridor.
"Your master is right. When we reach our age, the most difficult and natural thing is to obey our elders, and it has nothing to do with outsiders." She nodded with a smile.
Then, she crossed Lou Cheng and walked towards the guest room, shaking her head and sighing:
"Birth, old age, illness and death are so painful..."
