I Am Immortal

  Chapter 4 Encourage it!

  Negative thousand and two hundred steps.

  Live a thousand and two hundred years.

  The tone of this sentence is so loud.

  The lights of the worms in the gauze bag seemed to be in a daze, Qi Wuhuo raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him, his chewing movements slowed down, and he asked with frowned, "Could the old man be joking?"

   "It is said that even Peng Zu has a lifespan of 800 years, 1200 years old?"

The old man spread his hands and said with a playful smile: "Whoever called you, you don't want this, and you don't want that. The old man was annoyed in his heart, so he naturally made a joke for you, hehe...ah, don't be annoyed, boy, and leave the old man behind." Meat porridge!"

  The old man wanted to joke a few words, but when he saw that the boy in the small town was about to take away the old man's meat porridge, he couldn't help laughing, and called a few times before the boy put the meat porridge back for him.

  Qi Wuhuo is usually silent, upright and upright, and only at this time can he see the character of some thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys, and the old man strokes his beard and smiles.

  Since then, the so-called good fate will not be mentioned again.

  Qi Wuhuo lived far away from the small town, but the news spread very quickly. The story of an old man brought back by a child from the Qi family from outside quickly spread to several nearby streets.

Some said it belonged to an elder of the same clan as him, some said it belonged to the family, and some said it was because Qi Wuhuo coveted the old man's wealth, so he could make offerings to him. If you want to ask why, let's look at the purple robe on his body. , It's just that clothes, there is nothing comparable in the whole town.

  If it weren't for that, how could Qi Wuhuo, who was so poor to the extreme, bring him back?

These miscellaneous rumors were passed around, but Qi Wuhuo ignored them, saying, "A gentleman is upright, there is no blame", those people also felt that it was boring, and slowly this news was "big news" by other people. 'New talk' was suppressed.

   Small towns and villages, probably so.

   Another ten days, heavy snow fell, and the whole town became more and more clean, as if isolated from the world. The old man who claimed to be surnamed Li and called Fan was slowly making a pot of tea, and Qi Wuhuo was chopping firewood with an ax in the yard.

He didn't know why, but he just felt that in the past ten days, his strength had grown more and more. Even a strong man could split a large bowl of firewood two or three times. He used to have five or six blows, but now he can only split it once. Just go down with the axe.

   Another strike with an axe, the firewood was already split with just a click, but the axe continued to slash deeply into the ground.

  Qi Wuhuo was stunned.

  The old man making tea suddenly teased and said with a teasing smile: "The energy is self-generated. I never thought that Wuhuo you still have a few martial arts in the world. Have you practiced some magical books?"

  Qi Wuhuo shook his head and said, "No."

  Thought for a while, leaned down and twisted the firewood, said: "Probably because the firewood has been placed for too long, the wood has become loose, so it is easy to split."

  Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

This small wooden house also has a small yard. The door was already dilapidated. Qi Wuhuo made a simple wooden door out of wooden stakes, and it opened with just a push. door, Qi Wuhuo already knew in his heart who was coming.

  Put down the ax for chopping wood, tidy up your appearance a little, and walk quickly to open the door.

  Amidst the creaking sound, the wooden door opened, and there was snow on the door. When the door was opened, it fell to the ground with the movement. Outside the door, there were three old pines beside the road, and there were people under the pine.

Qi Wuhuo raised his eyes and saw that it was the gentleman wearing the green robe, which was heavy but not cumbersome. On one side was a woman wearing a white double-breasted peony jacket with a large bowl embroidered, holding a green bamboo bone umbrella to shelter from the wind and snow. , men and women have an elegant temperament, which is out of tune with this small town.

  From the looks of others, there was a big difference between him and the poor boy in the brown short robe, whose hair was **** with straw ropes so that his hair would not be unkempt.

  Qi Wuhuo cupped his hands slightly, and said calmly:

   "I don't know it's Mr. and Mrs. Su visiting, please come in."

  Su Shengyuan stretched out his hand to stop, and said with a smile: "No, no, it will snow heavily. I will accompany my wife home to visit relatives. I need to go to the next city tonight. There is still a long way to go, so I won't go in."

Qi Wuhuo raised his eyes slightly, and then he saw that on the side of the road, on the avenue a few hundred steps away from this remote alley, he could faintly see a green carriage drawn by two horses. A fiery red figure opened the curtain of the carriage and looked in this direction.

  When he saw Qi Wuhuo, he shook his palm happily.

  Su Shengyuan glanced at his wife and coughed slightly.

The elegant woman rolled her husband's eyes, then took the initiative to hand over a package in her arms, straightened the collar of Qi Wuhuo a little, and said in a gentle voice: "It's very cold in winter, don't freeze it, there are two bags inside. A piece of cotton clothes and a pair of thin needle-eye platform shoes, which are right for you to wear this March."

   "You are not allowed to refuse."

  Qi Wuhuo was stunned, and said, "How does this make..."

  Su Shengyuan raised his hand with a smile and said: "I know you have a straightforward character, but don't you hear that 'the gift from the elders cannot be refused'? Well, well, Wuhuo, your teacher's wife is kind, so don't refuse any more."

  Fu took another breath of air, and asked: "These days, it's snowing heavily in winter, and there is no lecture. How are you mastering what you have learned in the past few years? How about I ask you a few questions?"

   Immediately after the boy nodded, he asked.

  Qi Wuhuo answered them one by one.

  Su Shengyuan stroked his beard for a long time, sighed: "Okay, okay."

He stretched out his hand and patted Qi Wuhuo's shoulder vigorously, and said: "The spring test after March, I will recommend it for you. With your talent, you should win the first battle, and within three years, your reputation will be among the states and counties." between."

   "Encourage it, encourage it!"

  Qi Wuhuo seemed to hear the disdainful snort of the old man in the yard.

  But for some reason, Su Shengyuan didn't seem to hear it.

  After chatting for a while, Su Shengyuan encouraged Qi Wuhu a lot before leaving under the secret urging of his wife.

  Going back to the carriage, I was still filled with emotion.

  Even his wife was a little astonished at her husband's performance, and said, "That child...is he really so talented?"

Su Shengyuan sighed: "More than that, he is born knowing! Every time he speaks, there is something amazing. I have traveled in Kyushu for more than 30 years, or someone who has knowledge surpassed him, but I have never seen someone who is more knowledgeable than him. Talented."

   After thinking about it, he looked to one side.

There is a young girl who is thirteen years old, with long hair and feathers, and wearing red clothes, playing with a small mechanism in her hand. She is the daughter of the Su family. She is doted on by the family. The clothes she wears are all made of fox fur. It was rolled over, revealing the white fluff, which further set off the cuteness of her brows. If you think about it in a few years, she will be very beautiful.

  Su Shengyuan pondered:

   "Yue'er, do you remember Qi Wuhuo?"

  The girl giggled and said: "Remember, that guy who is always straight, like bamboo, is always the first to come. Father, you said he was very talented, of course I remember."

  Su Shengyuan pondered, and suddenly said:

   "What if you get engaged to Wuhuo after three years?"
