C84 The Old Man in town

084

Tang Lingqiu had received strict training in the army, and now that he carefully felt the changes in his body, how could he not notice the benefits of being natural? He temporarily suppressed the worry in his heart and listened to the meaning behind Wu Tie's words.

Of course, he still felt that it was necessary to inquire about the situation with Ancient Martial World, which was better than them offending the taboo of others with a head full of fog, as well as being able to calmly respond even if there were any changes. Before Ding Xu revealed his identity and purpose, it was better to avoid contact with him. Did he think that he did not see through Ding Xu's interest in Ye Zi? This person was simply too mysterious.

Because he had the excuse to practice martial arts, Tang Lingqiu stayed behind even more openly. Because he had a proper excuse, Ye Zi didn't avoid searching for herbs and seeds from Tang Lingqiu, and he could also openly think about these unorthodox things.

There was a pen and ink in Wu Tie's room. He would often practice calligraphy for a while when he was in the mood. The next night, Tang Lingqiu also wrote twice when he saw the situation.

Tang Lingqiu looked at Ye Zi's calligraphy and said, "Ye, your calligraphy is not bad. Now that you mention quality education, there are quite a few calligraphy associations outside. Ye, you didn't participate?"

Ye Zi laughed, "Father's calligraphy skills were taught to me by Grandfather. When I was young, Grandfather said that calligraphy skills were used to temper one's calm personality, but when I was in junior high school, I was promoted to the county to participate in a competition. However, none of the results were spread out."

It was mainly because of his grandfather's influence that his mind did not focus on this aspect. When he was young, his grandfather had been rather strict with him when he was building the foundation, and later on, he felt free to do whatever he wanted.

Tang Lingqiu nodded to himself when he heard this. Perhaps it was because of this state of mind that Ye Zi did not write as artfully as others, instead having more words than others. Grandpa Ye must have received a good education when he was young, which was why Ye Zi could be taught so well.

When he received the call from his cousin in An Xi, Tang Lingqiu could only regretfully say goodbye to the grandfather and grandson duo of Ye Family. He also expressed his gratitude to Ye Wenbo over and over again and left the Taoyuan Village under their gaze. old village head had also rushed over to send them off, having received Tang Lingqiu's promise in person. He would then dispatch people to deal with the affairs of Taoyuan Village as soon as possible.

"Zi, have you learned how to teach Tang?" Ye Wenbo asked when he got home with the support of his grandson.

Ye Zi nodded. His actions definitely couldn't be hidden from his grandfather's eyes: "Taught the body refining technique but not the cultivation technique. I need to test my talent first since I don't dare to be rash. I also want to take a look."

Ye Wenbo sighed and said, "That's good too. I think Tang's character is really good."

He had always been worried that the item in his grandson's hand would attract the attention of others. With someone with a deep background like Tang protecting him, it would be safer. It wasn't that he didn't understand the ways of the world, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this method. Moreover, his grandson wasn't asking for it, or else he wouldn't be able to bear it.

After that, in order to seize the time to cultivate and work hard to improve, Ye Zi completely handed over the matters of the shop to Wang Shujie. After that, he went back and forth in the county, finally changing most of the winter clothing in the shop into spring clothes, while the winter clothing was marked with a discount sign. Wang Guoxin, who could not find the opportunity to communicate with his eldest son, had no choice but to bring his wife and youngest son back to the provincial capital.

After welcoming the God of Fortune, the land and mountains contracted by the Ye Family began to start their construction one after another.

Previously, he was just helping his wife buy goods from the grocery store, and then did some mountain business, that is, taking the mountain goods from the villagers and the nearby villagers and then selling them to the big mountain merchants, which was equivalent to a two-way dealer. Most of the profits were taken away by others, so he didn't have much money to earn, but neither old village head nor his wife could be at ease, because he had things to do before, and now, he had quite a lot of money to earn.

Ye Wenbo couldn't stay idle either. Although it was given to Lin Haiming to manage, he still frequently went to help out. Although he was busy and didn't take care of food, when tea that was often made cold was brought to the ground, he would even make some big actual meat buns as snacks in the afternoon.

So before Ye Zi started school, over ten acres of land had already been tidied up. Before Ye Zi went to school, he took advantage of the night to go out and bury the prepared jade and other materials in a specific location, arranged the array well, and matched it well with the spirit locking array.

The membrane that Lin Haiming had bought was also stacked to the side. With the membrane covering the ground, it was possible to plant the dishes ahead of time. After tidying up the area, Ye Wenbo first handed over everyone's wages. After getting the money, everyone was grinning from ear to ear, no one suspecting anymore that Ye Family would not be able to pay them back.

In the middle of it all, there was an interlude in Taoyuan Village. It was that Ye Dong and Su Ergou had each gotten up in the middle of the night and fell down when they were going to the latrine, and had coincidentally broken their legs. Thus, the two people who walked out from the upper body of the ghost gradually caused the villagers to discuss once again, and became more convinced by the words of the ghost and god.

What lonely ghost? They must have done something shameful and got targeted by a ghost, so when the goddesses were chased away by them, something happened again.

This time, not only was it Ye Dong's home, but Su Ergou was still at home. He also fell down like Ye Dong, and when his mom found him, he was screaming in pain while holding his leg. Who would believe that?

The two families did not care about anything else and quickly sent the people to the hospital. It was not a good thing for the villagers to be hospitalized before the new year even started.

When Wang Shujie went to Ye Family to tell the grandfather and grandson duo about this, Ye Zi and his grandfather looked at each other in disbelief. Previously, Ye Zi was a bit guilty, but this time it was none of his business.

Behind Grandpa Ye's back, Wang Shujie also secretly asked if he did it, but Ye Zi didn't know whether to laugh or cry and firmly denied it. He wouldn't deny it, and even if he didn't, he wouldn't have carried the burden on himself: "I swear, I really didn't do it, I haven't been busy these few days so I don't have the time to spare. How can I have the time to keep an eye on them, let alone that place in the latrine."

"Hehe, Ye-zi, I trust you. It seems like even the heavens are willing to help this time."

"You came at the right time. Let's go to town together." During this period of time, he had made some preparations to prevent unexpected situations and also raised his cultivation level to the 3rd level of the Refinement Stage. This was an unexpected surprise to him because he had a feeling that the only reason why he could improve so fast was because he insisted on practicing the nature technique. This way, he could tell that it was correct to let Wang Shujie and Big Brother Tang practice the nature technique first.

At that time, Ye Zi, who had made a breakthrough in the mountain, discovered the change in the space and quickly went down the mountain. After closing the door, he entered the space and checked what was behind the two doors. In the end, he was pleasantly surprised to find that one of them was a talisman making room, and the other was a pill refining room.

Whether it was in offense or defense, the talisman had a great use for it. Furthermore, the talisman paper was different from the yellow paper used by the Goddess. The introduction book specifically described how to make the primary talisman paper, and the seeds of the raw materials would be placed in the Alchemy Room.

Ye Zi did not hesitate to use Spirit Accumulating Fluid s to quickly create these spiritual plants, and after wasting most of the time, he finally managed to make dozens of talismans. In the end, he made a total of five perfect talisman s, three fireball talismans, and two Wood Transformation talismans.

Because the success rate was too low, he couldn't bear to take one out and test it out.

Whether it was practicing kung fu with Ye Zi or the business in the county, both had allowed this young man to grow up faster. Now, not only was he much calmer in the village, but he also became a clear contrast with Ye Dong and was used by the parents to educate his own children.

"Then let's go." After the spring dress went on sale, he and Ye Zi took out some money from their account. It was not convenient to borrow other people's cars, so he asked his old buddies to get them this 70% new motorcycle. It was much more convenient to come and go, and he was also very treasured.

Even if the weather was cold, the smell wasn't very good. In front of them was the market, the entrance to the alley had lots of garbage piled up, and the houses inside the alley were also very low and old. Ye Zi looked at Wang Shujie doubtfully. This place and the inside of the town weren't in the same direction, so how could he have come to this place?

Wang Shujie touched his head and laughed. Now that he thought about it, he felt that it was pretty stupid to bring Ye Zi inside, so he said, "There used to be a bro living here. Let's stop talking, let's go quickly. I don't know if the old man can still live here."

He didn't tell the truth. Actually, he was here to pick up a guy, and that was just a fight, but he didn't have to admit that he had lost face. Ever since he went to school and turned in his homework, he had less contact with some of them.

After walking about a hundred meters, they turned a corner. Wang Shujie pointed to an inverted triangle and said: "It's here, Ye, wait a moment. I'll go knock on the door to see if anyone is here."

"Mm, you be careful." Ye Zi warned.

In front of the door was an open space, littered with bottles, jars, and garbage. There was also a cement sink, a tap water cage, and a coal stove next to it. The door was closed, and on it was a blackened aluminum kettle.

"Who is it? There's no one inside, get lost! "

Roars came from inside the house. A passerby saw Ye Zi who was waiting outside and kindly advised him, "The old man who lives here has a bad temper. It's best not to provoke him if there's nothing else." Ye Zichen turned around and looked at Wang Shujie, who knocked on the door. Wang Shujie thought of Ye Zichen as a youngster who often came to cause trouble for the geezer, but none of those youngsters got anything good from him.

Wang Shujie continued to knock on the door and turned around to wave at Ye Zi. Where's the guy? The old man was the one who said there was no one inside. Who is he then? Could it be a ghost? He had heard a lot of people from Taoyuan Village talking about ghosts recently, and he almost believed them.

Ye Zi thanked the passersby, but instead of listening to his advice, he walked over. The kind-hearted passerby twitched his mouth. Forget it, a kid who asked for trouble turned around and left.

The people inside were enraged by the knocking on the door. "It's so noisy, are you done yet? If you don't understand human speech, I tell you to scram! Get lost! "

The door shook a few times, but it was unknown how many times it could take before it passed out. A musty smell wafted out from the inside, people stared at each other with yellow eyes, their beards scattered, their clothes were covered in layer after layer of black grease, and some parts of them even revealed the black cotton under them.

Wang Shujie choked a bit: "Old man, I'm here to look for you out of kindness, not to get scolded. Oh right, I brought some food for you, do you want some? If you don't, then I'm leaving." Without waiting for Ye Zi to say anything, Wang Shujie said tit for tat.

"Food?" He grabbed Wang Shujie's arm, who was about to turn around, "Wait, what's to be eaten is left, scram. Brat, don't think that I can't remember you since the old man hasn't come recently. I was wondering if you had given up and started coming again."

"Hey hey, let go of me. If you don't let go now, I'll make my move. Don't blame me for bullying the elderly. Old man, quickly break my arm!" Wang Shujie screamed.

"Something's wrong …" The old man's expression changed, his turbid eyes instantly became sharp. Ye Zi saw that the situation was not right and did not care about being impolite, walking up with a Spiritual Energy wrapped around his body and waving it towards the old man's chicken skin eagle claws. This way, he could be sure that the old man was indeed Martial Cultivator, and Wang Shujie's previous guess was correct.

The old man took a few steps back with a "Deng deng deng deng" sound and glared at Ye Zi. At the same time, his eyes flickered with disbelief and his voice became more serious, "Since when did young people have such deep skills? Who are you? Why did you come to my old man's place? "

Wang Shujie quickly jumped behind Ye Zi and rubbed his arm while gritting his teeth. He stuck his head out and shouted, "Old man, why are you so ruthless? I came to see you out of kindness, but you actually hit me so heavily. My arm was almost crippled by you."

Alright, don't say anymore, I believe that this old man is just feeling suspicious and taking action to test it out, "Ye Zi pulled him out with a smile, and then brought the food in his other hand forward," We did bring some food over. Old man, don't worry, we don't have any malicious intent, we just want to ask about something. "

"Did you learn his martial arts from you?" the old man asked Ye Zi.

"Yes, I've only been studying for a short period of time, so I'm not a match for this old man."

The old man gave a cold snort and gouged the two of them out a few times before giving way, "If you have something to say, come in and say it. Close the door so that the outsiders don't think I've done anything to you."

Ye Zi and Wang Shujie looked back, the latter's scream attracted the attention of the neighbors nearby, who were peeking their heads out and pointing with their hands. Ye Zi and Wang Shujie looked back, the latter's scream attracted the attention of the neighbors, who were peeking their heads out and pointing with their hands.

The old man was not bad, but I'm afraid that his body is also in a bad condition. It's not that the Martial Cultivator is completely immune to diseases, it's just that he has lived for a long time, and looking at the old man's expression previously, it was unknown whether it was due to the sickness in his body or the internal injuries in the Martial Cultivator.

Because he wasn't familiar with Ye Zi, he didn't dare to recklessly do unnecessary things. Seeing this, Wang Shujie also found something to pour a cup of water. The old man drank a few mouthfuls before waving his hand to stop Ye Zi.

"Alright, my old man won't die soon. Bring me the food, I just happen to be hungry. If you have anything you want to ask, quickly ask. Afterwards, we'll leave." After coughing up blood, his face immediately turned into a waxy yellow color.

The old man grabbed the bun and ate it without any hesitation, his fingers even leaving a black handprint on the white bun. Wang Shujie felt disgusted, but today, it was Ye Zi's home game, so he just sat aside without making a sound.

"Elder, you are the Ancient Martial Cultivator, right? How can you live in such a place? Is there any injury in your body? "

Wang Shujie stared at the old man with a weird look in his eyes. No wonder he looked like he was going to cough out his lungs just now. The old man, however, continued to nibble on the steamed bun without a care. He only slowed down after two bites, turned over another piece of meat and threw it into his mouth. As he chewed, he said, "Young man, stop fooling with my old man. Don't tell me you're not someone from this world?"

Ye Zi guessed that the "this world" he mentioned referred to Ancient Martial World, shook his head and said: "I just learned of the existence of ancient martial arts, and after hearing Shujie describe the old people's situation, I guessed that the old people are the Ancient Martial Cultivator, and wanted to come over and ask about the situation of this world, so that I wouldn't be unaware if I were to meet them in the future."

"How is that possible? Don't you know where Gu Wu learned his cultivation? Even though this old man is injured, his eyesight is still there. Furthermore, that attack just now was pretty good. " Honestly speaking, among the kids that often came to visit him, this one had some aptitude, so he planned to look at it again. Unexpectedly, he never saw it again, so he thought it was a pity that Ye Zi did not have the perseverance and perseverance to look at it. Now that the seed he had his eyes on had been dug away by someone else, it would be strange for him to be in a good mood.

As for the young man beside him, he was clearly younger than that boy. He had such skill at this age, and although he was envious, it wasn't too much of a pity. This kind of talent was not something he could take in.

Wang Shujie was pleased with himself. Luckily, the old man did not admit it, otherwise, he would have suffered a loss after learning from the old man. If the old man knew about this, he would definitely be angry to the point of vomiting blood.

Ye Zi smiled and said, "I just taught my master and left after passing down the cultivation technique, so I'm completely clueless about the situation outside. Please advise me. We will try our best to do whatever the old man needs us to do."

The old man looked at Wang Shujie and sighed. This time, Ye Zi could guess that this old man had taken a fancy to Shujie and wanted to take him in as a disciple, but was interrupted by the old man. Could it be that Shujie was still the old man's disciple in his previous life and had walked on the path of the ancient martial arts?

Now that he thought about it, it was not impossible. Big Brother Tang said that the ancient martial arts families and sects had strict rules, so perhaps some things couldn't be revealed to the ordinary people at that time. And after Wu Tie entered the army, his development was also very smooth.

If it was as he had guessed, then he would have to let the old man have his way.

"Help me find a successor, young man. You've ruined my original plan. It wouldn't be too much to return my old man as a successor. I have no other requests." The old man bluntly made his request.

Ye Zi's expression changed and he sighed.

Wang Shujie pointed at himself and shouted, "Geezer, you were planning to take me in as your disciple? Why didn't you admit it then? "If you had admitted it back then, perhaps …" Luckily, the old man was able to deny it.

The old man also wanted to vomit blood. He immediately realized that the seed he had taken a fancy to would be so regretful that he wanted to vomit blood after learning martial arts from someone else. These outsiders had to first examine one's character before accepting a disciple. If he had bad character, he would not be able to remain safe even after death.

"This …" Ye Zi looked at the depressed old man and Wang Shujie, who was secretly pleased with himself, and asked tentatively, "I only taught Shujie some skills after I took Shujie as my disciple. Can't the old man teach him anymore?"

Wang Shujie opened his mouth to object, but when he saw Ye Zi secretly shake his head at him and take back his objections, it was his turn to feel depressed.

(Praise yourself for your diligence!)
