The Legend of Hoe Immortal

Chapter 4 4. I have a small goal, to live five thousand years

The old man opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.

Old Su was very satisfied with his expression, and continued leisurely:
"So, we have different standards for seeing immortals. Yi'er didn't lie to you, but she was afraid that you would not understand if she said too much. So do you understand now?"

In fact, Lao Su didn’t tell the whole story. He didn’t tell the old man that in addition to cultivators, there are demon cultivators and demon cultivators in the world of cultivation, but they are also kind. It’s useless to frighten a farmer if you say too much. You can repay the grace of saving your life at the age of [-], which is not impossible.

The old man closed his mouth, took a deep breath, swallowed his saliva, and said slowly, "Understood."

Listening to what Old Su said so well, this time he really believed it, and he also understood that what the other party can help him become is not a true immortal, but a cultivator, but the result is the same, he can live to be hundreds of years old, and he is not cheating. he.

After understanding, the old man had some more thoughts in his mind. It seems that my requirements were lowered at that time. The old fairy said that it is normal to live five thousand years if you practice hard, so I can do it too.

Because the last thing we farmers are afraid of is suffering. Widow Chen is used to suffering, and she is not afraid of suffering, she can do it.

So far, the old man's new goal has changed a bit, he will be five thousand years old, and Widow Chen will be five thousand years old.

It's just that the old man didn't say this goal, because it can only be done by himself.

At this time, the girl suddenly said: "Grandpa, do you have any pills that can temper the old man's body, he is still a mortal physique, without tempering his body, he will not be able to absorb the spiritual energy when he comes."

Old Su pondered: "That's true, but my current elixir cannot be tolerated by his mere mortal body. How about this, I will make some elixirs suitable for changing his mortal physique."

As he said that, Old Su took out a small cauldron out of thin air with his left hand, grabbed some herbs and put them into the cauldron, then put the cauldron in the air, and suddenly a fire rose from his right palm to roast the small cauldron.

After a while, three pills flew out of the tripod and flew into Lao Su's hands, but the tripod disappeared again.

Old Su conjured up another small bottle, filled it with three pills, and handed it to the old man.

Said: "This is three pills of transformation. After you take them back, take the next pill first, and then take one pill a month. After three months, your physique will change. The rest will come after Yier picks you up next time. Let's find a way for you again, how about you?"

The old man held the small bottle, put it into his arms with trembling hands, thought this is the elixir, the elixir that can change the physique of mortals, his eyes watered with excitement, he said to old Su: "Thank you, old fairy!", and then bowed to the girl : "Thank you senior!"

When the girl heard that she was called senior, she blushed and looked at her grandfather, and smiled embarrassingly: "Old man, my name is Su Xiaoyi, just call me Fairy Su."

The old man bowed again: "Thank you Fairy Su!"

Seeing the old man being so courteous, Lao Su thought to himself that it was the old man who was the savior, but instead he was thankful. For such a simple person, he will be rewarded in the future if he helps him to cultivate immortality.

Then Old Su said to the old man: "Old man, why don't you just do this first, I will send you back first, you go back and take care of the housework, wait quietly, and Yi'er will pick you up after a while, okay?"

The old man could only nod his head, and went to take his two-wheeled scooter. Could it be okay? This was originally his plan, but he felt a little bit reluctant and lost before leaving.

Then Old Su picked up Su Xiaoyi's shuttle stone, and a black hole stood in front of the cart out of thin air.

Su Xiaoyi said goodbye to the old man, the old man turned his head and said goodbye to the immortal, then pulled the cart and disappeared into the black hole.

After the old man disappeared, Old Su glared at Xiao Yi, and said to her: "Senior Su! Fairy Su!"

Su Xiaoyi smiled embarrassedly, not daring to answer.

Old Su pulled Xiao Yi, flew up into the air, and slowly disappeared over the bamboo forest.

....................................

Mortal Realm, Mortal Yuan Continent.

Pushing the cart, the old man reappeared on the small road halfway up Rhino Mountain. The black hole disappeared after he came out, the fairy world disappeared, and the immortals disappeared as well.

The old man was suddenly stunned, standing alone, feeling extremely lost in his heart, and he didn't know what he was missing.

The old man touched the small bottle in his arms, took it out and saw that the three elixirs were still there, and quickly hid them back in his arms. Then he broke free from the disappointment and smiled happily.

If he hadn't felt the existence of the elixir, he would have doubted whether it was true that he went to the fairy world.

The old man thought to himself, now he can only wait for the immortal to pick him up next time, and he still has to do the mundane things that should be done right now, and he can't think of a way for Widow Chen's matter for a while, but fortunately, there is still time for him to think of a way.

Afterwards, the old man pushed the cart to the orchard to pick apples, and did not return home until evening.

It may be because the picking was a few days late, but the apples picked this time were actually sweeter and crisper.

The old man didn't make dinner either, so he ate some of the dry food he had prepared earlier, as well as some apples, so dinner was settled.

After the meal, the old man took out the elixir, and remembering the old fairy's advice, he took one and stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it with warm water.

After the elixir entered the abdomen, the old man felt his stomach getting hotter and hotter. Afterwards, the hot air flowed to his whole body, and the whole body became hotter and hotter. The old man was very nervous, what should he do?
The old fairy didn't pay attention to the precautions when persuading the medicine. Could it be that the medicine cannot be taken immediately after a meal?

The old man felt his body getting hotter and hotter. Could it be that he had a high fever?

Doesn't a high fever mean you don't sweat?

Could it be poison?
Could it be that the immortal doesn't want to repay this kindness, and is afraid that if I tell others, he wants to poison me to death?
The more the old man thought about it, the more frightened he became, with grief and indignation, but his head was getting heavier and heavier, and he was about to lose consciousness.

He staggered onto the bed, what should he do?
Am I dying?

The old man passed out like this.

Early the next morning, the old man woke up.

I found that I was not dead, the bed was wet, the clothes on my body were all wet, and my whole body was still smelly.

The old man hurried to take a bath in the barrel, changed all his clothes, and changed the sheets, then he settled down and sat on the bed.

Thinking of the situation after taking the medicine last night, the old man still has lingering fears.

Why is this medicine so terrifying? Is it really an elixir that can change the physique of a mortal?

Could it be really poison, eating it is like being poisoned, and it also makes people have a high fever?

Immortals have no reason to harm me, right? Just kill me in the immortal world if they want to?

So why is it so?
Or is it dangerous to change the physique of a mortal?

That's right, it's not that easy to become a fairy, otherwise, wouldn't everyone become a fairy after eating an elixir?

The old man thought wildly for a while, and finally decided not to tell Widow Chen about going to cultivate immortality, lest the matter fail and spread out and become a joke.

After that, he sat on the bed for a long time, making sure that there was nothing abnormal about his body, and then he had breakfast and went to do farm work on the mountain.

For the next month, the old man was basically honest, doing farm work, picking apples, occasionally fishing in the river, and hunting in the mountains.

This month, the fruit vendor came to the village twice to buy fruit, and the old man also sold all the apples he picked, earning a few taels of silver.

During this period, he mustered up the courage to visit Widow Chen's house several times, and every time he would bring some fish, meat, and mountain mushrooms to Widow Chen, and some gadgets for her son.

Widow Chen was not polite to him, and received him generously. Since she had a marriage contract and her neighbors knew about it, she was also frank.

Widow Chen's name is Chen Yuniang, a native of Niujiao Village. She is 35 years old and looks ordinary, but works hard. She originally married out of town, but her husband died not long after her son was born.

So she took her son back to Niujiao Village and raised him alone.

Widow Chen usually doesn't talk much, but she's not an introvert either. Maybe it's because she's afraid that there will be a lot of gossip in front of the widow's door, so she doesn't like to take the initiative to talk.

Her son is Huzi, who is ten years old. Compared with other children of the same age, Huzi is more sensible, and will not be mischievous and trouble his mother. Chen Yuniang, the mother, sees this and feels relieved and sad.

Huzi is pretty good to the old man, every time the old man comes, he can call Uncle Liu.

That's not bad, it's not your own father, you want him to be more affectionate, besides, his mother hasn't married yet.

The old man doesn't know how to talk about love. Every time he talks, it's about what mountains he has cultivated, and how many boxes of fruit he picked. It's like reporting to the leader.

The old man did the same thing this time, but this time Yuniang behaved differently.

When the old man was about to leave, Yu Niang stopped the old man, went into the bedroom and took out a few sets of clothes, handed them to the old man, and said:
"Every time I see you, it's always dirty, and I don't have a few sets of clothes to replace. I made a few sets of clothes for you, which are made according to your body. You go back and wear them to see if they fit."

The old man froze for a moment, but didn't react immediately.

He didn't expect that Yuniang would make clothes for him, and holding the clothes in her hands, she was so happy that she had mixed feelings.

He tremblingly said: "Yu Niang, you are so kind!"

Then he bowed to Yu Niang, blushed, and ran away!
But even if he ran away, he didn't understand why he was shy and why he used to escape.

Probably because of calling Yuniang's name.

This was the first time he called Yuniang by her name. He used to always call her Widow Chen when talking to outsiders, and Widow Chen when others mentioned her, and when he faced her, he always said "you" and "I". .

It turns out that this is how it feels to evoke a person's name!

From then on, the name entangled in his thoughts was no longer Widow Chen, but Yuniang, and this name would also seep into his dreams from his thoughts.

Hu Zi saw the scene where the old man ran away with a red face, he smiled "puchi", and said to Yuniang, "Mother, Uncle Liu is very cute", holding the bamboo dragonfly that the old man made for him in his hand .

When Yu Niang heard what Hu Zi said, she laughed along with "Pu Chi", thinking to herself, does this Hu Zi accept the old man?
In this way, the old man spent a month without any abnormal changes in his body.

He didn't notice it, but the neighbor next door, Datie, did, and then the Erdan Ergou and other villagers in the village also discovered it, and finally Yuniang also noticed the change.

That is, the old man has become younger, and his strength has become stronger.
