Panting, the two stopped at the entrance of Hongxing Medical Hall. This is an old-fashioned manor. It should be an old house left over from many years ago. The two large red lacquered wooden doors are tightly closed, and a wooden plaque is engraved on the forehead. There are several vigorous golden characters: Hongxing Medical Center.

Li Linger breathed a sigh of relief, and anxiously pulled the ring on the wooden door and hit the door hard, "Open the door! Open the door quickly!"

In the backyard of the manor, on the small lake covered with lotus leaves is a chic octagonal pavilion. There is a dim yellow firelight in the pavilion, and two thin and long figures are reflected on the rippling lake.

A man who looked like a servant rushed to the pavilion, he came to Li Dongyang, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Brother, it seems that we are destined not to be able to catch up on the old days!" Li Dongyang put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly.

"I don't think so, they are all from my own family, so the juniors should also hear the stories of the seniors, don't they?" The old ghost grabbed a handful of peanuts and threw them into his mouth, clapped his hands, and said while chewing.

"Alright, go, let them in!" Li Dongyang said to his servant.

The servant Zuoyi left, and soon brought Bo Qi and Li Ling'er to the Bajiao Pavilion.

"Uncle! Uncle, are you alright?" Li Linger rushed up and looked around for a while, then asked with concern.

"I'm here to catch up with an old friend, what can I do!" The old ghost said with a peaceful smile, "Ghost girl, you still have a little conscience, so you came to look for your uncle in such a hurry!" Touched the bridge of Li Linger's nose.

Li Ling'er shrunk her nose and wiped her eyes, and Bo Qi coldly glanced at the thin man sitting opposite, but with piercing eyes.

"Stinky boy, the old man didn't save you in vain!" The old ghost looked at Bo Qi and said.

"Okay, okay! Let's talk about the nasty things when we go back. Let's talk about our affairs first, the 30-year grievances, brother, how do you solve it!" Li Dongyang said impatiently.

"Oh, that's right, I forgot to tell you, this is your uncle, call me uncle!" the old ghost pretended to be stunned.

Li Ling'er glanced at the man opposite, bowed to him, and called out respectfully, but Bo Qi still stood still.

"Hey, senior brother, you're an interesting apprentice, just like you who don't know the rules!" Li Dongyang smiled contemptuously.

The old ghost sighed softly, "Hey! Young people nowadays, junior brother, don't blame him. This kid is too proud, and he has to go through some things." When he was talking about the latter, the old ghost glanced at Bo Qi intentionally.

"It's good for young people to have arrogance. I think I was also full of arrogance back then, but I don't understand why the master is so heartless. He would rather die than hand over the cheats to me. What is he afraid of? Is he afraid that I will surpass him?" The more Li Dongyang spoke, the more excited he became. By the end of the sentence, his fists were tightly clenched, and the veins on both temples were protruding.

"Dongyang, don't you always understand the painstaking efforts of the master? Not everyone can practice Taoism. Those who practice must have no desires or thoughts, and have a righteous heart. What's more, they are not allowed to marry for life, and they are not even allowed to approach women. .” The old ghost sighed.

"No! Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! This is a lie you made up, you lied to me, it must be because you want to eliminate my hatred for you, you made up a lie to lie to me, it must be like this!" Li Dongyang stood up suddenly He got up, opened his eyes, shook his head, and said.

Seeing him like this, the old ghost couldn't help but feel a little sad, he took out a white handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Li Dongyang, "Junior Sister also knows that you won't believe me, so I left this before I died, take a look !"

Li Dongyang took the handkerchief that was old but still white and flawless. He was very familiar with that handkerchief. He slowly opened the handkerchief. On the upper right corner of the handkerchief was embroidered the words Li Xinrui. He clearly remembered that these three words belonged to him. It was stitched together overnight.

Li Dongyang glanced at the old ghost, and then carefully browsed the familiar handwriting left on the handkerchief with cinnabar. Looking at it, his eye circles were moist, and tears dripped onto the handkerchief, and quickly dispersed into Two shades.

After reading it, he slumped on the chair, holding the handkerchief tightly in his hand, "It's all true, it's all true, I was wrong, I was wrong, master, master! Dongyang was wrong, master !"

"Okay, master has a spirit in the sky, he will forgive you, so from now on, you don't have to worry about master anymore, because we are both people with too much desire, and practicing Taoism will definitely lead to madness and death. If you can't extricate yourself, you can only become a monster that will harm the world, which is why the master would rather destroy the secret book than give it to you." The old ghost said.

"Okay, this matter is over, but I still have a grievance to settle with you. We both joined the same teacher, but we have never competed until today. I really want to know whether you are better or not." I am amazing!" Li Dongyang said provocatively.

"Is it important who is taller and who is lower? Dongyang, you are not young anymore, why bother to be obsessed with these?" the old ghost said bluntly.

"Of course it's important. This is my dignity as a man. I want to know whether the elder brother whom my senior sister has always loved is worse than me. If not, why does she like you, and why does she say that I am not as good as you!" Li Dongyang Get excited again.

"If you have to compete, then I will admit defeat now, okay? I no longer have the high spirits of the past, and now I am just a lonely old man. I just want to live through this last period of time in peace." After finishing the old ghost, he turned around. Pulling Li Linger and Bo Qi to leave.

"Are you afraid? Brother, if you were sitting here 30 years ago, you would definitely compare yourself to me. 30 years, 30 years, have all your ambition and arrogance been wiped away? Does it make you a coward? You are only in your early 50s, do you think I will believe that your current appearance is real?" He said, he quickly walked up to the front of the three of them, pulling He grabbed the old ghost's hair, and he pulled it vigorously, but he couldn't get it off. Immediately, an expression of inconceivable surprise appeared on his face.

"The one standing in front of you is indeed a gray-haired old man, do you believe it now?" The old ghost looked a little pained, he raised his dry hand to hold Li Dongyang's wrist, and took it away.

"What's going on? This, this is impossible, this is impossible!" Li Dongyang couldn't accept it.

"Twenty years ago, my junior sister came to me with a little girl. Her face was haggard and her lips were pale. It turned out that a plague broke out in the village where she lived that year. The plague quickly killed many villagers. In order to eliminate the plague and save the villagers, she decided to practice Taoism. Maybe she really has a destiny with Taoism. In just half a month, she has mastered all Taoism. The plague talisman water was given to the villagers to drink, which finally saved an unprecedented disaster.

But also because she cultivated a powerful Taoism in a short period of time, her body couldn't suppress and bear the sudden power. This power turned her back, and she gradually lost her mind inadvertently, and became more and more ordinary. In the end, she couldn't bear to kill the whole family of a villager, but the crying of the baby in the cradle of that family awakened her reason, and she felt so guilty that she left the village with the baby girl in her arms.

She didn't know where else she could go. She wandered alone for three days and three nights and came to the town. Maybe God didn't want her to die. At that time, I was a well-known doctor in the town, and she overheard I was in town, so after asking him he found my place.

I settled her and the little girl down, and began to think of ways to suppress the powerful force in her body. Finally, I thought of the Taoist meditation formula and the Buddhist Heart Sutra. I combined the essence of the two and wrote a The heart formula that can calm people down and restore their minds, because the power in the junior sister's body is too strong, the heart formula can only temporarily restore her mind, but if the power in her body can't be suppressed, one day she will collapse because she can't stand it.

I couldn't watch this kind of thing happen, so I took the risk of adopting her power to mine. My body is not born with a Taoist physique. Halfway through the adoption, this is already the limit I can bear. Junior sister is afraid I will die because my whole body will burst because I can't bear it, so I forcibly terminated the adoption.

In the end, the power in her body was reduced, and under the counterbalance of her own internal power, that power calmed down, but because of an uncontrollable force in my body, my internal organs were gradually damaged, and my aging accelerated. Body functions are also aging faster than ordinary people due to wear and tear. After 20 years, it has become what you see now. "The old ghost told the secret that had been buried in his heart for 20 years.

After listening to the old ghost's narration, Li Dongyang's body became limp again. He barely supported his body by leaning on the back of the chair. Own!"

"Dongyang, I know that you have been bullied since you were a child, so you have very strong self-esteem. Okay, senior brother agrees to compete with you. Tell me, what should you compete with?" The old ghost stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder, saying.

"No, I changed my mind. Since you are not in good health, even if you win, it's not fair. Now you and I have apprentices, and what they have learned is our ability. Their competition is our competition. As long as Your apprentice beat my apprentice, and all our grievances and grievances will be wiped out." Li Dongyang also held the old ghost's shoulder.

The two looked at each other for a while, and the old ghost smiled, "Okay, it's the mule or the horse who has to pull out the yo to know how much he weighs, right? I agree to your challenge!"

Seeing the old ghost readily agree, Li Dongyang also showed a long-lost bright smile on his face. Perhaps in the past 30 years, this moment is the happiest for him.

"Bring paper and pen, I want to write a challenge letter!" Li Dongyang said to the servant standing at the entrance of the pavilion.

"Tell me, what do you want to compete?" the old ghost asked.

"What I am most proud of under my master is medical skills. If your apprentice can surpass my apprentice in medical skills, I will be convinced of you as a senior brother!" Li Dongyang said.

"Okay! Then let's compare the essence of this medical skill, massage and massage, how about it?" the old ghost suggested.

"Okay, senior brother, you can put yourself in this time. The black bear is best at massage, massage and acupuncture and cupping. Last year he just won the championship in the city's masseur competition!" Li Dongyang said with some pride.

The old ghost just smiled lightly. He turned his head and glanced at Bo Qi, then turned around and said, "Don't underestimate my apprentice. Although he is a little-known wild boy, I don't think Black Bear can compare to him!"

Seeing the old ghost's confident look, Li Dongyang glanced at Bo Qi who was behind the old ghost, "Then see the real chapter on the field!"

"Okay!" The old ghost laughed.

With a swipe of his pen, Li Dongyang quickly wrote down a challenge letter, put the challenge letter in an envelope and handed it to the old ghost. The old ghost took the challenge letter and left with Bo Qi and Li Linger.
