Start from miscellaneous fish to gain experience and cultivate immortality

Chapter 61 Old man, please respect yourself

There is obviously something wrong with this person named Li Kui. There is no name on the tombstone of this tomb, and there is only a surname. Moreover, he is buried in the mountains, so far away from his village, it is not easy for future generations to come to worship him.

Could it be that he did something evil and was worried that He Bo would cause trouble for him?

After Wang Shen finished reading the book, the sky outside had darkened, and he started to light a fire and prepare dinner.

One meat, one vegetarian, two stir-fried dishes, plus a basin of white rice, all eaten.

The next day, Wang Shen resumed his normal practice life.

A greedy man, two tomb robbers, a small episode.

Whether it is a mountain god or a river god, he is not the immortal immortal after all. Otherwise, how could the temple be destroyed and now disappear, leaving only a legend.

After all, in this world, one still has to rely on strength to speak for itself.

"I don't know how high the gang leader's cultivation level is, and what are the cultivation levels of people who are higher than him?"

Wang Shen is now like a lonely traveler, groping alone on the path of spiritual practice.

He only knew that his cultivation had been improving, but he didn't know to what extent it had reached. Because he had no companions to communicate with. Originally there was Chen Zheng, but now he was so far behind that he couldn't even see him when he looked back.

The road ahead is still long, and perhaps he will continue to walk very far by himself.

I practice Qigong during the day and recite scriptures at night. My days go by like this.

On this day, Wang Shen returned to Wuyang County. According to the records in the ancient book, he found the section of river where green lotus roots grew.

Collect lotus in summer and dig lotus root in winter.

On the opposite side of the river is a mountain, and the river flows under the mountain. According to records in ancient books, the lotus root grows in the water under the cliff.

Most people have only one way to dig lotus roots, and that is to row a boat from here.

Because there is a continuous cliff on the opposite side, ordinary people cannot climb it at all, unless they have the ability of an ape.

But Wang Shen is not an ordinary person. He has been traveling through the forest these days, and his body has become more and more agile. Climbing down the mountain should not be a big problem.

"There's no problem with that section of the cliff. The key is water quality."

Different from being in the water on land, a very good skill can only be used at most three points in the water.

"I don't know how deep the water is over there. If you want to dig lotus roots, you have to practice water skills first."

In fact, the original Wang Shen knew how to swim, after all, he was on the edge of the Qinghe River, but after traveling through time, he rarely went into the water.

"It's easy to find a location. Besides, there are other treasures besides this jade lotus root."

Wang Shen stayed in Wuyang County for three days and walked hundreds of miles along the Qinghe River, looking for the location recorded on the river map.

On this day, after Wang Shen returned to Wuyang County, when he passed by Linjiang Tower, he encountered a waiter driving away a ragged old man, and his words were quite unpleasant. Wang Shen saw that he was a little pitiful, so he bought some meat. The bun was handed to him.

"Give it to me?" The old man was stunned. Wang Shen smiled and nodded.

"It's just steamed buns, is there any wine?"

Wang Shen was stunned when he heard this. What's the meaning? If I give you a bowl of noodles, do you need a piece of ham?

Haha, the old man laughed, grabbed the buns, first took two bites, then one bite, and after a while, several buns were eaten.

"Oh, so-so."

It’s not easy for an old man with such a mouth to survive till now. Wang Shen didn't bother to talk to him, got up and left. A few buns weren't worth much money anyway.

Unexpectedly, when Wang Shen left Wuyang County the next day, he met the old man again outside the city.

"Oh, young man is so clever. Do you still have meat buns?"

"No." Wang Shen said calmly.

"Young man, where are you going?"

"Lanhe."

"It just so happens that I'm also going to Lanhe, so let's go together. It's too lonely to be alone on the road."

"I'm used to being alone."

"I travel all over the country, and many people treat me to dinner. But you are the first one to treat me to a meal in the past few months. You may not believe it when I tell you. A few years ago, a young man invited me to eat and drink. , please let me visit the brothel!" the old man said as he walked.

Wang Shen heard this and turned to look at the old man beside him. "What a coincidence. What should I call you? That person's surname is Su, right?"

"No, that man's surname was Lin. He was very generous. It's a pity that he was executed by the whole family not long after!"

Wow, disaster star, please stay away from me!
  "Hey, young man, if you treat me to some steamed buns, can I also give you a gift?"

"No need, just a few meat buns."

"It's necessary. I'm not very good at other things. I still know a little bit about fortune-telling. How about I tell you a fortune?"

"You still understand this?"

"I understand a little bit." The old man smiled and nodded, looking quite conceited.

"Forget it." Wang Shen smiled and waved his hand. If the old man in front of him really had that ability, how could he be in such a miserable state?
  "It seems that you can't trust me anymore. Just write a word and let me test it and you will know whether my calculation is accurate."

"Okay." Wang Shen smiled after hearing this, and then drew a horizontal line on the ground with his foot.

"Just test this word."

The old beggar stared at the "one" on the ground and was stunned for a long time.

"I knew he was a liar." Wang Shen turned around and was about to leave, but the old beggar spoke.

"No, it shouldn't be, this shouldn't be!" He suddenly raised his head and stared at Wang Shen.

"Tell me your birthday and horoscope." His tone was a little urgent.

"I don't know." Wang Shen said calmly.

"How could you not know about such an important thing?"

"I am an orphan. My parents died very early."

"Then use other methods." As he spoke, the old beggar raised his hand to grab Wang Shen.

"What are you doing?" Wang Shen suddenly stepped aside.

"Let me touch it," the old man said.

"Old man, you are so old, please respect yourself."

"What do you mean by self-respect? I want to touch your bones and feel your bones!"

"You can pull him down." Wang Shen waved his hand and turned around to leave. Unexpectedly, the old beggar stared at his back for a while.

"It doesn't look like it. Hey, young man, wait for me." The old man trotted after him.

"Young man, where is your hometown?"

"Wu Yang."

"Have you ever been married?"

"No."

"What are the young people's future plans?"

"The way forward."

"Going forward, where are we going?" the old man asked.

"Wherever you go, that's where you go."

"I mean everyone has a dream, what is your dream?"

"No." Wang Shen said coldly.

"How could it not be?"

"Why? Then what is your dream?" Wang Shen asked.

"Travel thousands of miles across mountains and rivers, see the vast world of mortals, and taste all the flavors of the world."

"Well, sure!" Wang Shen couldn't help but said after hearing this.
