Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 73 Snow Ginseng Is Your Lie
Chen Jisheng has always been an honest and almost old-fashioned person.

In his eyes, sincerity is important in interpersonal communication, and lying is not a good habit.

However, in the recent period of time, he has told three lies in a row.

The first lie was that the reason why he left Yishui Yamen so rarely was not to go out to do official business, but to go to Yishan to collect medicine.

The second lie is that the snow ginseng in the box was not given to him by the Qingzhou Prefecture Lord Qianhu, but he sneaked into the restricted area of ​​Yishan and picked it himself.

The lie in the third round is that the reason why he suddenly coughed was not because he went to the restaurant to eat chili peppers, but because he was secretly picking snow ginseng and was discovered by the monsters under the command of the snow girl of Yishan, and he was injured during the battle. and meridians, leading to disturbance of breath in the body.

If it wasn't for him breaking through the fourth realm "Wangxiangtai" at a critical moment and possessing the ability to fly with the sword, I am afraid he would have died on the towering snow-capped mountain.

However, at this time, Chen Jisheng still had a bit of confusion in his heart——

He felt that with Xue Nu's "fierce god" level strength, if she really wanted to kill, she should be able to kill him easily without any effort, and it was impossible for him to fly away with his sword.

"Could it be that the Snow Maiden of Yishan is now in a critical period of breakthrough in strength, and it is not convenient for me to take action?
"Or, as the rumor said, she is only interested in handsome young people, and doesn't look down on old bones like me at all?"

Chen Jisheng secretly guessed.

But he didn't spend much time thinking about it.

The level of "Ferocious God" level ghosts is too high, Chen Jisheng thinks about it, it is useless, just leave it to the saints to deal with headaches.

Chen Jisheng only hoped that this precious snow ginseng could improve Gu Xu's body to a certain extent.

Although that kid was injured on the foundation of his lifeline - even if he took snow ginseng, it would not necessarily help him prolong his life.

However, as long as Gu Xu can be made healthier and stronger, and he is no longer as sick as he is now, he will not be in vain.

And Chen Jisheng also knew that although Gu Xu always had a sassy smile on his face, he didn't seem to take anything to heart—

But in fact, Gu Xu is a very self-respecting and strong young man.

On the surface, he may accept the favors given to him without changing his face, but in fact he will keep this account firmly in his heart.

If this favor is too heavy, it may become a burden to Gu Xu.

For example.

If a father takes his son to a restaurant to eat a sumptuous and delicious meal on a rest day, the son eats with relish and feels very happy.

But in the middle of the meal, the father told his son that the price of this delicious meal was very expensive. Sprained wrist and ankle multiple times.

Then at this time, what this delicious meal brings to my son will no longer be happiness, but pain and guilt.

By analogy, if Gu Xu knew that in order to cure him, he risked his life to pick snow ginseng in Yishan, then Gu Xu's character would definitely have a very strong sense of guilt in his heart.

Chen Jisheng didn't want Gu Xu to bear any psychological pressure, and he didn't want Gu Xu to worry about his injury.

That's why he pretended nothing had happened in front of Gu Xu, and told the above three understated lies.

…………

It's a pity that Chen Jisheng made all the calculations, but he missed a little.

That is, as a traveler who has lived two lives, Gu Xu's mind is much more mature than Chen Jisheng imagined.

Chen Jisheng's lies may have fooled an ordinary 17-year-old boy, but they couldn't hide it from Gu Xu.

At this moment, Gu Xu is in his kitchen, concentrating on making soup with snow ginseng.

He's not a hypocrite.

He knew that if he wanted to repay this kindness, the best way was to eat the snow ginseng with peace of mind and try to make himself stronger and live longer, so that he could better share the worries for Lord Chen in the future.

An hour later.

The snow ginseng in the pot was gradually boiled.

The aroma of the medicine diffused and filled the room, and the smell was refreshing and pleasant.

Gu Xu lifted the lid of the pot, scooped a bowl of ginseng soup for himself, then sat beside the dining table, tasting it slowly one by one.

The taste of this ginseng soup is a bit bitter and has a faint earthy smell, which is not delicious at all.

But Gu Xu felt that this was the most delicious food he had ever tasted in his life.

"Gu Xu, how do you feel?"

Shi Xiaohan sat opposite him, leaning on his chin with both hands, and asked curiously.

Gu Xu smiled and replied, "Very good."

"How good is it?"

"I feel like I'm about to ascend to immortality."

When speaking, Gu Xu could clearly feel that the medicinal power of snow ginseng was flowing and spreading in his meridians.

Like the snow water that has just melted in early spring, clear and sweet, moisturizing every inch of dry land along the way.

His heart beat faster at first, then gradually calmed down.

And on his pale face, a faint blood color gradually appeared.

He stood up slowly.

At this moment, in Shi Xiaohan's eyes, Gu Xu's whole person became radiant.

Xiao Xiao Susu, hearty and clear, dragon and phoenix posture, natural quality.

Although a bowl of ginseng soup is not enough to fundamentally change Gu Xuqing's thin physique, it is even less likely to turn him into a muscular man in an instant.

But it greatly improved his spirit.

At least, at a glance from the perspective of others, he will no longer be regarded as a weak and sickly child.

He will not be grabbed by the sleeves of the Jianghu Langzhong on the street, and while selling drugs, he persuades with all his heart: "Young people should not overindulge."

"Why don't you try your newly learned body technique?" Shi Xiaohan suggested.

This morning, Gu Xu's lightning-quick movement left a deep impression on her.

She couldn't wait to see Gu Xu perform it again.

"Okay!" Gu Xu readily agreed.

After all, he used the "Meteor Walks the Moon" movement technique and disappeared into the room.

Shi Xiaohan looked around, but couldn't find Gu Xu in any corner of the house.

After a while, Gu Xu returned to her.

Only at this time, there was a bunch of bright red camellias in Gu Xu's hands.

"I picked this just now on the hills on the outskirts of Yishui," the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "Is it good-looking?"

"Nice!" Shi Xiaohan replied without hesitation.

Hearing her words, Gu Xu smiled and put the camellia in the vase on the table.

At this moment, his breathing was a little short, but his heartbeat was extraordinarily stable.

The "Meteor Walks the Moon" movement method did not bring him any uncomfortable feeling.

Inadvertently, Chen Jisheng's cough echoed in his mind.

He sighed silently.
