C810 Meeting an Alchemy Servant
Du Qi originally wanted to find an ordinary person to spend some time with to comfort the loneliness of his journey, but who would have thought that he would meet a cultivator in this sparsely populated mountain? This made Du Qi somewhat surprised and dissatisfied.
Since he had come here and his actions were seen by that person again, Du Qi naturally could not turn around and leave immediately. He could only cupped his fists and bow. "Big brother, I suddenly feel thirsty after passing through this place. Can I get a bowl of water to drink?"
Looking at Du Qi, that person said faintly, "There is no one at home. The water vat is outside the house. There is a ladle on the vat. Please do as you wish, little brother."
Du Qi smiled in satisfaction and said, "Thank you!" Then he pushed open the gate of the fence and stepped into the courtyard. He walked in the direction of the water vat and was so shocked that six or seven chickens, who were looking for food under the fence, were screaming.
After Du Qi drank the water, he saw that the man was still sitting there and did not move. He wanted to stay a little longer, but seeing that the man ignored him and did not want to find an excuse to stay, he could only say, "Thank you for your water, big brother. I can take my leave now."
Seeing Du Qi turn around and was about to leave, the person said, "This place is not the right place. No one passed by. May I ask where you came from and where you will be going?"
Du Qi was worried that the person would not speak, but now he saw the person asking. He did not feel that it was rude, so he quickly replied, "I am from Nine Palace Mountain, and I am preparing to go to Mount Tai. She came here because she wanted to get closer to the mountain and the beautiful scenery of the mountain. I'm sorry for that."
The man said: " Oh? So little brother is actually an elegant person! It's just that there are many strong people and bugbeasts in the mountain. Little brother, you have to be careful. "
Du Qi was dressed like a martial artist now, although he had always been used to keeping his heroic spirit restrained. Therefore, he smiled nonchalantly and said, "I've been wandering in the pugilistic world since I was young. I don't have any other abilities, but I can still run for my life. Brother, you don't have to worry about me." While he was talking, Du Qi's eyes were flickering. Suddenly, his eyes focused, and he fixed his gaze on the messy and messy patterns at the corner of the wall. He could not help but become excited.
That person was naturally unaware of Du Qi's discovery and thoughts. He continued to speak in a faint voice, "This old man has really thought too much. When you see a smile, you see a smile. When you see a smile, you see a smile."
At this point, the conversation between the two seemed to have reached a deadlock. Just as Du Qi was uncertain whether he should continue to get entangled with that person or take his leave, he suddenly heard a voice from a distance outside the door. "Old Master Yuen, is Old Master Yuen home?"
That Old Master Yuen seemed to have secretly sighed and answered, "Little Ding, why are you so flustered?"
Du Qi looked out through the gap of the fence and saw a young man in his twenties running over from the foot of the mountain.
Hearing that person's words, the young man heaved a big sigh of relief. He used his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his forehead before bowing to that person and saying, "Old Master Yuen, my master is in trouble. He specially ordered me to come and ask Old Master Yuen for help."
After thinking for a while, Old Master Yuen coldly snorted and said, "If your family's old master is unable to handle this matter, what help can this old man provide? You should go back and ask your master to find someone else."
As if he already knew Old Master Yuen would say such a thing, he did not wait for Old Master Yuen to finish speaking. Little Ding unhurriedly took out a piece of silk cloth from her bosom and waved it at Old Master Yuen before saying with certainty, "My master said that Old Master Yuen would not take other things seriously at all. But this matter, Old Master Yuen will definitely be interested in it when he knows about it. Old Master Yuen, please take a look!"
Old Master Yuen was stunned for a moment before he said, "What is it? Bring it over!"
Little Ding said with a bitter smile, "Old Master Yuen, I can't climb to your side!"
Old Master Yuen said," Wait! " Without waiting for the voice to fade, Old Master Yuen got up and turned to the back of the stone and disappeared in an instant.
At this time, Little Ding had already entered the gate. Du Qi could not help but ask, "Big Brother Ding, what is the relationship between your master and Old Master Yuen?"
It seemed that there was someone in Buyu Courtyard. When he heard Du Qi's voice, Little Ding was actually startled. He kept rubbing his chest and answering, "Cough cough, you scared me to death! Are you a child of Old Master Yuen's family?"
Hearing Little Ding's words, Du Qi could not help but be startled. Just as he was about to speak again, he heard Old Master Yuen say somewhat unhappily, "Is little brother's curiosity a little strong?"
It turned out that in the time it took to say this sentence, Old Master Yuen had already walked down from the huge rock. He went around to the outside of the gate. Du Qi did not take Old Master Yuen's unhappiness as his intention. Instead, he smiled and said, "If the relationship is ordinary, there is naturally no need for you to waste your time and effort to help. If the relationship is irreversible, then... No matter what, we have to do our best. Does senior think so? "
As if he did not hear Du Qi's words, and as if Du Qi did not exist at all, after Old Master Yuen said those words, he took the piece of silk from Little Ding's hand. With a shake, he unfolded it. When he saw it, he could not help but say, "Strange!"
Looking at the piece of silk, Old Master Yuen actually praised it with a beaming smile, "Wonderful!"
Just as the word 'wonderful' was said, Old Master Yuen's expression suddenly became serious. After a long time, he laboriously said, "Absolute!"
Staring at the silk handkerchief without blinking, Old Master Yuen's expression changed several times. Finally, he said dejectedly, "Difficult!"
It seemed that he had been observing Old Master Yuen's expression all along. At this time, Little Ding continued to speak. "That's why my family's master ordered me to come and invite Old Master Yuen. My family's master said that only Old Master Yuen in this world has the ability to resolve this matter! That's why my family's master ordered me to come and invite Old Master Yuen. My family's master said that in this world, only Old Master Yuen has the ability to resolve this matter!"
The pair of eyes that had been staring at the silk cloth suddenly flashed with a divine light, but it dimmed in an instant. Old Master Yuen seemed to be somewhat helpless as he sighed and said powerlessly, "Little Ding, reply to your master. I can't help you with this matter!"
Hearing Old Master Yuen's words, Little Ding could not help being anxious. She wanted to speak but did not know how to speak, so she appeared to be even more anxious. Du Qi saw all of this and could not help but secretly sigh. He said, "Senior, please take a step to speak."
He looked at Du Qi and seemed to want to say something but stopped. He said in a low voice, "Little Ding, you go to the big tree by the road outside and rest for a while. Wait for this old man to think about it before replying to you!"
Seeing Little Ding leave, Old Master Yuen said, "If Little Brother still wants to inquire about the relationship between this old man and that person, this old man advise you not to waste your time and effort!"
After a slight pause, Old Master Yuen's expression suddenly changed. He said vigilantly, "Little Brother, do you want to influence my way of doing things?" Obviously, it was only at this moment that Old Master Yuen woke up to what Du Qi had said when he had just arrived by the gate.
Previously, Du Qi had unintentionally seen the corner of the wall and the patterns on it, and he already knew the identity of this Old Master Yuen. Hence, he did not avoid arousing suspicion and tried to persuade Old Master Yuen. At this moment, he saw that Old Master Yuen seemed to have misunderstood something. However, he did not care. He just waved his right hand. His five fingers flashed and he made a gesture to show his identity.
Old Master Yuen seemed to be stunned when he saw this. He quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully. He said respectfully, "Thirteenth generation alchemy servant, Yuen Haiqing, greets Sect Master! Yuen Haiqing did not know that the Sect Master had arrived. Shang Qi, please forgive him for his neglect."
Du Qi hurriedly returned the salute and said, "This little one has randomly come here. Senior, please do not take it to heart!"
