Landscape of the North Chapter 17 He? They?
When Lu An saw that the sudden change of style caught Lu An off guard, the sudden murderous intent filled the entire room.
Unlike the murderous intent I met for the first time, the one before was cold and pure murderous intent, but now it is indeed solemn and thick, with the hatred that has been accumulated for decades, and it feels like the murderous intent will explode when touched.
I don’t know what happened, but it actually made the old man feel so strongly resentful.
I understood that when I saw Lu An trembling on one side, his expression became decadent and he had no momentum. It was completely opposite to the free and easy way before. His originally energetic face now looks like he is declining.
"Old man, are you okay?" Lu An asked cautiously.
I understood that my eyes were staring at the distance without any answer for a long time.
Lu An was a little embarrassed now. Seeing the old man become like this, he was not standing or sitting, and he didn't know if he should ease the atmosphere.
Fortunately, after a while, the old man immediately recovered, looked at Lu An with a smile, and said, "Boy, don't you see that you are still a very enthusiastic person? Did you scare me just now? Tell you, this is the aura that people at the level of a master have, and the natural sense of oppression, isn't it amazing?"
Lu An said stubbornly: "I admit it, but what kind of oppression and aura you said? I didn't feel it."
He looked at Lu An with contempt and said, "Others all look up at the majestic mountains and want to reach the ninth level. What about you? Seeing the vast ocean, he turned his head and ran away." After that, he spread his hands.
Lu An blushed when the old man said it, and then retorted: "He actually compared himself to the nine-level mountain and the vast sea. His face is really a bit thick."
The two spent a few days between teasing each other. During this period, Lu An went out to visit here and there every day, and walked around the hometown in his mind again, including restaurants, buns shops, pastry shops, and tea shops. In a few days, everyone was familiar with this young man who was slightly bookish in a broken alley, but Lu An did not tell his identity, just like re-recognizing him.
Lu An also enjoyed living this kind of life. He asked the tea shop owner to talk about the Four Books and Five Classics when he had something to do, and felt that he benefited a lot.
Since Lu An jumped into the river, Lu An has never eaten anything from the old man again. Every time it was time for dinner, he would rather spend money to buy a few side dishes, a pot of wine, and take it back for a drink with the old man, than eat what the old man called expensive supplements.
At night, I listened to the old man telling stories. Last time I heard what the old man said, Lu An was still very interested. After the old man found out, he insisted on telling various stories. From the first four major sects to the current sect, three sects, four sects and six pavilions, these stories are linked to a history of evolution in the era.
Lu An felt that this old man might not be very capable, but he really scared Lu An. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, the old man could just speak. Even if it was fake, he was a very powerful storyteller.
After hearing this, Lu An often said that if he couldn't make a living in the world in the future, he could sneak into a small place to hide. Being a storyteller would definitely make a lot of money and life would definitely be very comfortable.
Then the old man began to mock Lu An, an ignorant child. In this history, only a few people in the continent knew about it. They are all famous figures. Now the people you know about now actually want to be a storyteller. It’s really rotten, mud, and I don’t want to talk to you. But today’s wine is OK, and this chicken is too tiring.
Lu An said this in his mouth, but his mind kept changing. According to common sense, if the other people are giants, then is the old man who drinks and eats meat in front of him also a giant?
During this period, Lu An asked the old man intentionally or unintentionally about the old man’s mountain, disciples, etc.
When the old man drank too much wine, he said, Mingzong, he is the only one now, and his whole body is on his body.
After hearing this, Lu An was sad for a while and thought he was holding his thighs, but the result was that he was still poor.
Lu An was very strange. He was becoming more and more curious about the origin of the old man. But now, he only knew one name. He claimed to be a master of the master level and was seriously injured by someone. He now only has the 4th level of strength. He knows the history of the entire continent, knows the sects on the mainland, and can also evaluate masters of all ages. He also knows a lot about anecdotes from various dynasties, especially those who know all kinds of magic weapons and disdain for heavenly soldiers. Lu An thinks it is unreasonable. Can an old man who is alone know so much?
At noon today, Lu An brought a large jar of wine and a few dishes, preparing to show off with the old man. He had to ask for the truth, otherwise he would always feel that he would be used as a gun.
When I entered the house, I found that the old man was still the same, and he was sitting cross-legged and meditating, which was said to be healing his wounds.
As soon as Lu An put down the wine, the old man opened his eyes and stood up, touched his stomach and said, "I smelled the beggar chicken and the roast duck. The food today is very good. Oh, there is such a big jar of wine. Boy, you are either a traitor or a thief." After saying that, he looked at Lu An with a smile.
Lu An spread his hands and said, "If you like to eat, don't you."
Understand and laughed: "There are wine and meat, which is better than the Buddha. How could you not eat it? Eat it."
After saying that, he gave himself a bowl of wine.
Lu An sat on the chair and watched the old man drinking and eating meat bit by bit, but he didn't move a single chopstick.
After understanding and eating for a while, I realized that Lu An didn't eat it. I was stunned. I pointed to the wine and meat and stuttered, "You, you, are you poisoning? Want to take revenge on me?"
Lu An shook his head, didn't say anything, just watched the old man eat and drink quietly.
I understood that Lu An was so angry that I didn't dare to eat or drink anymore. I looked at Lu An and asked, "What do you want to do in this situation today? It made me feel so furious, for fear of being poisoned by you, so I didn't dare to slap my mouth when I looked at this good wine and food. It was really vicious."
Lu An still shook his head and reached out to signal the old man to continue eating. He didn't have to worry about him. The old man picked up the chopsticks in doubt and picked up a piece. It was not right to eat, nor was it right to not eat. So he threw down the chopsticks, poured a glass of wine, and then sat upright and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter, if you don't tell me, I'm not going to eat this food."
When Lu An heard this, he felt that the time was almost right and it was time to ask, otherwise he might not be able to ask anything later. He said, "Old man, have you discovered that you have told me so much and told so many stories over the past few days, but you don't mention anything related to you. Don't you feel that it's a bit unreasonable?"
I understood that it was the problem, but I still said as before: "I clearly said it. Whose name is told you, where is the mystery?"
"Okay, since you said that, I'll ask you a few questions." Lu An said.
Ask casually if you understand.
"The first question, how do you know so many things? The second question, you say that only a few people in the world know so much, they are all big names, what about you? The third question, you keep saying that you are a master at the level of the master and have been chased to this point, so who is your enemy? It should be very famous? The fourth question, what about your sect? The fifth question, why did you come to this corner and never leave for a long time? According to what you said, the resources here are so scarce, which is definitely not good for your injuries, why don't you leave for a long time? The sixth question, this question may be related to the previous one. At first, I guessed that you wanted to use the power of King Ning to help you revenge, but later I thought, you seemed to be more interested in me, because I didn't leave for a long time, right?" Lu An said the question he thought of in one breath.
I understood and was stunned and said, "Today's meal is indeed not simple. Are you sure you want to know so much? You must know that some things may not be able to get rid of them after you know them. Do you still want to know?"
Lu An nodded firmly and said, "I want to know, because I think I can't take off anymore. Since I took those two pills and drank those glasses of wine, I want to leave. I guess you won't let me go easily, right?"
He looked at Lu An with approval, and stroked his beard and said, "I have vision."
Lu An continued: "Since those two medicines, a few glasses of wine, and after breaking their hands to recover, I made some attempts, but found that my strength was more than twice as strong, and my entire physique had undergone qualitative changes. Although my internal strength had not changed much, it was still a second-grade grade. I think if it were me now, when we first met, I would be 60% sure that I could kill you. I don't believe that there will be a source of blessings from heaven, and my luck has always been very bad."
Mingbi stretched and said, "Since you have discovered it, I will tell you something. The medicines and wines you take are all voluntarily by the old man. Don't worry, it's not poisonous. But those two medicines are indeed very expensive, and I feel a little sad about it. It is the Yin-Yang Marrow Cleansing Pill that can reshape the body. One yin and one yang are the kind that has no market value. It should be no problem to exchange for two elixirs for half a Ningguo, of course that is not counted."
Lu An was frightened. Even though he knew in his heart that this pill was very expensive, he didn't expect it to be so expensive.
"There are also so many questions you have asked. I will tell you what you can say. If you can't say, you won't understand it." Mingbi continued, and Lu An nodded. According to the old man's previous personality, it would be good to be able to answer one or two, and he would not expect to explain everything.
"First, I am indeed a master. Although I am a little master, I can't tell you the purpose of my arrival here for the time being. Moreover, I did suffer a little injury before, but I can't tell you why I was injured and the degree of injury." I understood and picked up a piece of meat and took a sip of wine.
After hearing this answer, Lu An was not equivalent to not saying anything.
"Second, why do I know these things? In fact, the channels for knowing are like you. The old man told me that those who have been around for a long time were told by him. Other things were told by a friend of mine. Every year, we will have a drink together, and these are his topics of conversation." After understanding, he paused, thought for a while and continued, "Third, where did I learn from? Mingzong, our sect has always been only two or three people, and it is no exception to me. Fourth, why don't you leave? You don't need to know this reason for the time being. Finally, you are indeed my favorite child. I intend to accept you as my disciple, but I am still considering it."
I understood and said all the remaining questions in one breath.
Lu An was a little surprised. The last one was the old man who wanted to accept him as his disciple. He couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
He understood and smiled, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I have asked the same question to my master before. He answered this way. It feels like it's almost time, and then he just happened to meet you."
When Lu An heard this answer, he didn't know how to refute it, and then asked: "Then what if you have considered it for so many days?"
I understood and frowned, pulled my beard, and replied: Too stingy.
Lu An suddenly angrily said: "Sniff? Eat mine every day, drink mine, am I going to?"
He said lightly: "Every time I buy 10 cents a pound of osmanthus wine, and never buy 1 tael per pound of Luofuchun."
When Lu An heard this, he felt disgusted and speechless.
I understood and silently poured myself a glass, took a sip, and slapped my mouth twice.
Lu An was also blocked. He poured himself a glass of wine, grabbed a chicken leg, and started eating.
I understood that seeing Lu Anna's eating behavior, I disliked him and said, "Vulgar."
Lu An could no longer stand this old man, but unfortunately he couldn't say anything about him.
After the meal, the two looked at each other speechlessly and remained silent for a long time.
Lu An calmly thought about the old man’s previous answer, and always felt a little strange, but he couldn’t tell there was a flaw. However, what is certain is that the old man must have a conspiracy and is confident.
Lu An seemed to have thought of something and tentatively said: "Old man, are you afraid of being discovered?"
He replied without thinking: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid of death."
When Lu An heard this, he immediately confirmed his thoughts, his face turned pale and cursed inwardly, a treacherous old man.
Then he went out directly and carried the deaf and mute old man who was still sitting on the threshold at night. The old man struggled a few times, but he couldn't resist Lu An and could only let him arrange it honestly. Lu An explained: "What's going to happen here. I'll take you to change the place and pick you up later."
He took the old man directly to the restaurant, entrusted him to the boss, and gave him 100 taels of silver, hoping that the boss could take care of him for a few days and he would take him away.
Then Lu An hurriedly returned to the house and said to Mingbai: "You can leave now, my family doesn't welcome you."
He smiled clearly and said, "Boy, your brain is really flexible. You can guess this, but don't worry, since I plan so much, I will definitely not be affected by this place."
"You are pretending to be injured and treating yourself as bait." Lu An looked coldly and understood, "Who are you seducing?"
I understand that I didn't speak.
"Maybe I am also a bait. After taking such two precious pills, I have not absorbed the effect of them completely. Sometimes I feel that I am emitting something all over my body. In the eyes of your master, it should be very obvious. These days, you have followed me around here to buy wine and vegetables, and I am so happy that I do this. Then those who are qualified to be your opponent should easily find me, an alien, and you will come and take a look. In this way, you will just happen to be discovered by you again. You are in the dark, he is in the bright, and the winner will be divided in a flash. It is a living bait." Lu An said coldly.
He said with approval, "I'm half right. I'm really pretending to be injured. It was a pure accident when you took medicine. If you didn't take medicine that day, you would die, but the effect was a bit attractive. I actually never thought about using you as bait. I wanted to accept you as a disciple. How could I let you as bait?"
Lu An stopped and continued, "Okay, just think I was an accident, but you didn't mean to watch me swaying here on purpose. And even if you really want to set up a trap, you can't choose this kind of place. This is my home, and there are ordinary people not far away from you. Even I can't stand the battle between your level, right? One punch and one kick is enough to make them wiped out."
"Don't worry, I don't do things that are unsure. And acting in the whole set, otherwise who would believe it? At least those people definitely don't believe it. This kind of place is really suitable for hiding. They know me, and I understand them. If they hide outside the city, he wouldn't even dare to follow him. But he would definitely dare to do this kind of place because he thinks I'm desperate and would get into this kind of place to hide. So this is a game between me and him. In fact, your appearance was originally an accident. I didn't expect to meet you at this time, but this accident may also be the best place to arouse his interest. A young man who exudes spiritual power suddenly appears and will look at it a few times." Understanding his eyes narrowed and said whispering.
"Since you are so sure, why don't you act earlier?" Lu An asked.
"Action early? As a setter, how could I take risks and wait patiently for them to enter the game is what I should do, instead of being anxious to show off. Boy, as a hunter, this is the minimum respect for prey. Otherwise, if someone else sees you, a stupid hunter, I will not come to pay attention to you." He replied clearly.
Lu An couldn't even say anything he was criticized.
"Before you came back, I had already set up the bureau, teahouse, road, restaurant and other places in this county town. For them, such traces were like bright lights. You can find it by just looking for it. But after a few days, they didn't wait for you, but they waited for you? When you were in a coma, I changed my bureau again, so you were the biggest surprise in my bureau, not them or the ordinary people here, you changed the bureau that had already ended, boy." He said clearly.
"Then who are they in your mouth?" Lu An asked.
