I am immortal

Chapter 2 Making good connections

Qi Wuhuo was fascinated by what he heard. He subconsciously moved forward after hearing the words, and walked a few more steps, avoiding the rocks. The full moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight flowed down like water. His vision suddenly widened, and he was chanting poems. People have come into view.

Under the full moon, on the bluestone, an old man wearing a purple robe sits cross-legged on it. He has white hair and white beard, but he is in good spirits. There is a gourd hanging on his waist, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he is stretching out his hand. Call him over.

As winter night approached, I met an old man again in the mountains.

It might be a passerby who lost his way, but it might also be a demon incarnation. Qi Wuhuo pursed his lips, holding the place where he was carrying the basket with his left hand, and pressed his right hand down on his waist. There was a small dagger there, sharpened. Gotta be sharp.

It is impossible for a young person to be able to avoid being bullied by the gangsters in the town just by relying on the knowledge in books.

He took a few steps forward and said, "It's already getting late, winter is about to come, and it's especially cold in the mountains. It's almost freezing to death in the cold weather. Why are you still here?"

Naturally, the young man's actions could not be concealed from the many "Xue Xianren" around him.

The many birds, beasts, spirits and monsters hiding around were almost terrified when they saw this. The old man in front of him must have some status and supernatural powers. He came here to set up a mysterious spell, which attracted many spirits to preach. Although the spirits said I don’t know their identity, but they are all very respectful.

I don’t know how this young man broke in and was so brave.

Next to them, a big tiger with a white forehead and its paws covered its mouth, and its eyes were as wide as a big cat in the world. They were all calmed down. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Is this young child not afraid of anything? !

The old man didn't think anything of it, he just stroked his beard slightly, then pointed to his legs with a smile and said:

"My family is in the west of the capital city. I came here to visit relatives and friends. I saw the beautiful scenery of the mountain. I went up the mountain to enjoy it. Unknowingly, I missed the time. When I was in a hurry to go down the mountain, I stepped on the wrong foot and fell my leg. .”

"With no one in front of me and no road behind me, I can only sit here for a while and make some noise, hoping that there are still woodcutter mountaineers who haven't come down from the mountain and can be lured over and help."

"Otherwise, if the mountain is blocked by heavy snow today, I'm afraid I will die on this mountain and be eaten by wild beasts."

This joke made all the monsters on the mountain shudder several times. Qi Wuhuo looked at it and saw that under the moonlight, the old man's legs and feet looked strange. He put down some vigilance and walked forward to check the wound. There is indeed a sense of flesh and blood, and there is no doubt that he is a human being.

Seeing that it was an old man again, he hesitated most of the time. He immediately knelt down slightly and asked the old man to stretch out his injured leg, press it a little and check it. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's okay. No muscles or bones were hurt. Apply some dressing to the wound." After taking medicine and resting for a while, you will be able to recover in about a month.”

He first set the old man's bones, then took out dry food and water in a bamboo tube for the old man to drink to satisfy his hunger. The old man smiled and said: "Little brother, do you know medical skills?"

Qi Wuhuo helped trap the injured leg with a strip of cloth and said without raising his head:

"Five years ago, when I was escaping from the catastrophe, I traveled with a gentleman for a while. He taught me something."

The old man looked slightly strange and said, "Is that your teacher?"

"Where is he now?"

Qi Wuhuo paused and replied:

"While passing through Bingzhou, I accidentally fell into the demon country. There were hundreds of thousands of displaced people at that time. The demon ghosts were doing [vegetable market] business on the roadside, using people as food. To pass the demon country's checkpoint, you can get a hundred catties of 'vegetables and meat'. He walked to the vegetable market by himself and came out in my place."

"It is said: The young will live."

The old man looked more and more ashamed, and suddenly felt a tightness in his legs and feet, but Qi Wuhuo tied up his injured leg with force. Then the young man breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and smiled: "In this case, my father-in-law's leg will be fine. But it’s getting late, and there may be heavy snow in the next few days.”

"When the snow melts, it's extremely cold in the mountains. Even a blind bear will find a place to get up and fall asleep. If I don't mind it, why don't I go to my house and stay for a while until the injury is better? Or I can carry my husband to the town at the foot of the mountain. Although the town is remote, there is an inn where I can stay leisurely."

The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "I feel very close to my little brother."

"If you don't think I'm disturbing you, old man, I'd really like to spend some more time with you."

So Qi Wuhuo made a loop of the backpack with a rope, hung it around his neck, placed it in front of him, squatted down slightly, let the old man lie on his back, and then stood up.

He often went to and fro in the mountains and forests, cutting firewood and paying wages. He was actually in good health. He was carrying an old man on his back, which was nothing, but his steps were still flying.

The night fog from before was still thick, and now Qi Wuhuo could see it.

The old man lowered his eyes slightly, intending to test his character, so he did not let this layer of fog dissipate, but became deeper and deeper, making the mountain road seem steep, and his own weight gradually increased.

When Qi Wuhuo took ten steps, he was still just like an ordinary old man.

After taking twenty steps, he already has the weight of a thirty-year-old man.

After more than a hundred steps, it was almost like carrying a stone statue on his back, just close to the upper limit of Qi Wuzhuo's strength. He was extremely tired but able to hold on. Qi Wuzhuo's steps gradually slowed down, but he never stopped.

The night finally got dark.

Winter is approaching, and the wild beasts in the mountains are going crazy with hunger. They have to save enough fat to survive the cold winter. The sky is blue, the trees are silhouetted, and the howls of wolves can be heard in the ears, as if they are approaching.

If they were ordinary people, most of them would already have tremors in their liver and gallbladder.

Qi Wuhuo's breathing was a little messy, but his steps were still steady. Only his right hand went down to hold the dagger at his waist. In addition, the young man's sweat-soaked clothes and the heat on his neck proved that he was indeed It's a huge loss of physical strength.

The old man nodded slightly approvingly.

Suddenly Qi Wuhuo whispered and said: "Old sir, when I first met you, I held down the dagger, and then invited you down the mountain. It was a bit presumptuous. I hope you don't mind it. I smelled the smell of monsters, so Worry."

The old man seemed shocked: "Monster?"

Qi Wuhuo said, "Yes."

The old man asked: "Can you smell the smell of monsters?"

Qi Wuhuo paused, and then replied:

"If you see a lot of monsters, you can smell them a little bit."

The old man was speechless. Considering the previous demon country and the great disaster, he knew that this was by no means a memory that ordinary people were willing to touch.

Suddenly I felt that it was boring to test my character like this.

Isn't this young man's temperament as clear as the bright moon?

He sighed secretly and simply dispersed the spell.

Qi Wuhuo didn't notice that the old man's weight behind him suddenly weakened.

There was also a mysterious feeling flowing into his body, healing the many hidden wounds left by the disaster. Qi Wuzhuo felt that all the meridians in his body were instantly relaxed, Yang Qi was born in the soles of his feet, and the lost physical strength was restored in an instant. , looked up again, the night fog had dispersed, and lights could be faintly seen on the road ahead.

Qi Wuhuo couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said happily:

"Old man, my town has arrived."

After saying this, the wind blew in his footsteps, and he carried the old man on his back and walked down the mountain.

The moonlight was bright in the sky, and the young man was striding forward. Walking in the mountains at night is extremely dangerous, but in a place invisible to the naked eye, there is a group of monsters and monsters protecting them, expelling the monsters and ghosts silently, like a guard of ceremony, with majestic etiquette and spirit. The fox holds the candle in front, and the tiger presses its paw behind.

Those hungry wolves and wild beasts did not dare to come over at all, and the wandering ghosts gathered in the mountains did not dare to bully me.

There was a mountain god wandering out at night, carefree and at ease. He saw a group of monsters and monsters walking at night from a distance. He was so dumbfounded that he backed away for more than a hundred miles. When he turned around, he was still in the mist-shrouded area. He couldn't see the way forward or the way back. , even more heart palpitations, fearing what kind of demons the Great Sage and the True Immortal from the mainland would patrol, and hurriedly burned incense to tell the gods.

Qi Wuhuo walked down the mountain, and the old man looked back.

The night fog that shrouded the mountains and rivers for hundreds of miles suddenly converged. The fog became smaller and smaller, and in the end, it was no more than a piece of purple gauze on a hat.

In addition, the mountains and rivers are clear and the wind is clear and the moon is bright.

that is it.

"Let's go back to my little brother's place."

"You have led me a thousand and two hundred steps, so we should form a good relationship."
