Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 83 He Shou Wu Jing
Li Xiuyuan didn't leave because of this old man with white hair and beard making things difficult, but once again held back the urgency and anger in his heart and sat in front of the chessboard to play chess with him.

Although, those who achieve great things must have calmness in their hearts.

But people have seven emotions and six desires, and when it comes to critical moments, who can not be anxious, who can not be angry.

While playing chess, Li Xiuyuan stared at the old man with white hair and beard: "The old man made things difficult for me in every possible way. From this alone, it can be seen that the old man is definitely not a cultivator."

"Why?" The old man with white hair and beard stroked his beard and smiled.

"Because no one in the world would really make things difficult for me on purpose. As for the reason, those who understand will naturally understand, and those who don't understand are useless." Li Xiuyuan said again.

The cause and effect of making things difficult for him is too great, and few Taoists dare to contaminate him casually.

So the safest thing is to stay as far away from yourself as possible, and not have any intersection with yourself.

But this old man is obviously not the former.

"Your words are a bit mysterious, but young man, although you are a wealthy person with a very noble fate, even if you are a mortal, besides, the old man is not trying to make things difficult for you, but just testing your sincerity. If you don't If you are willing to accept the test of old age, you can go down the mountain on your own, and you will not be embarrassed by old age, and you can also take away the silver and rabbit skin you brought up the mountain."

The old man with white hair and beard said.
"The old man was joking. Since the things have been delivered, they belong to the old man, and I will not take them away."

Li Xiuyuan said: "Let's continue the topic just now."

"I said earlier that the old man is not a cultivator who attains the Tao, so it can only be the latter. The old man is a mountain spirit who attains the Tao."

The old man with white hair and beard showed a strange expression, and smiled calmly.

"Everything has a spirit, and everyone can become a fairy or a god. Don't young people know this?"

"The old man is right. It's just that I was always curious. Although the old man is eccentric, he never shows his true body. He is neither a fox body nor a demon body." Li Xiuyuan said.

The old man with white hair and beard stroked his beard without moving, listening to him continue talking.

"I don't know if the old man has heard of a legend." Li Xiuyuan said
"What kind of legend, tell this old man." The old man with white hair and beard laughed.

Li Xiuyuan dropped a child and said: "There is a kind of medicinal material called Polygonum multiflorum. It is said that Polygonum multiflorum can become a mountain spirit after 300 years of growth. Taking it can make white hair regenerate and rejuvenate. After 500 years, it can grow into a human body, just like a boy in the world. , You can walk between mountains, forests and countryside, you can’t distinguish it with the naked eye, and it’s difficult to distinguish it with Taoism. If you grow Polygonum multiflorum for another 1000 years, you will become a fairy immediately.”

"However, there is another legend. It is said that if someone eats Polygonum multiflorum for a thousand years, he can also become an immortal. Unofficial history records that Zhang Guolao, one of the Eight Immortals, attained the Tao and became an immortal after eating Polygonum multiflorum for thousands of years."

"I don't know, has the old man heard of this legend?"

The old man with white hair and beard was already startled, the chess piece in his hand fell to the ground unknowingly.

"Old man, you lost, no more, no less, exactly one hand." Li Xiuyuan dropped a hand suddenly.

At the end of the chess game, counting carefully, he happened to win a piece.

"You, how do you know that the old man knows the identity of the old man."

The old man with white hair and beard looked at him in shock, and his voice trembled a little. Before, he was shaken and had no intention of playing chess, but he was stolen by Li Xiuyuan and won a game by luck.

"It doesn't matter how you know. What matters is that you lost, old man. Shouldn't the old man treat my father?" Li Xiuyuan raised his head and looked at him.

The expression of the old man with white hair and beard changed slightly, and he immediately laughed, and dropped the chess pieces in his hand: "You have evil intentions and impure intentions, why do you want to get the elixir, which I will not give you, you go Well, just pretend you haven’t been here before.”

"How do you say, you still don't plan to give me the elixir?" Li Xiuyuan stared at him coldly.

"Old elixir will not be given to villains."

The old man with white hair and beard squinted his eyes, stroked his beard and smiled, showing a somewhat indifferent expression.

The anger in Li Xiuyuan's heart could no longer be suppressed, and immediately slapped him hard.

"You still want to commit murder?" The white-haired and bearded old man shook his head with a smile, stretched out his hand, and wanted to hold Li Xiuyuan in place.

But the next moment, the slap that had been strong and powerful slammed heavily on his face.

"Crack~!"

A crisp slap sounded from the top of the mountain.

The old man with white hair and beard staggered and almost fell to the ground with a slap, then looked at Li Xiuyuan in shock and disbelief.

What, how could this happen?
Why didn't my spell work, and I was slapped by a mortal.

Li Xiuyuan stood up and stared at him coldly: "You are procrastinating in every possible way, making things difficult for you, and you are not even willing to take out a cure-all elixir. Do you really want to make my father die of illness? You said the word God's will before, God's will let you win, then it means that my father is hopeless, and his death is also exhausted. I have nothing to say, but now that I have won, does it mean that my father is not exhausted, but yours is exhausted? "

"I have already fulfilled three of your three requirements. No, it should be four requirements. If you don't give me the pill, it doesn't matter. If you don't give it, I will come and get it myself."

After speaking, he pulled out his waist knife and raised his hand to chop it down.

The old man was shocked and felt that the spell was not effective, so he hastily turned over to avoid the knife.

But without mana, he was worse than an ordinary person, and the knife immediately tore a hole in his body.

Instead of the imaginary blood flowing out, a stream of crystal clear juice splashed out.

Suddenly, a strange fragrance filled the surroundings.

Li Xiuyuan just smelled it a few times, and felt that the tiredness of not falling asleep in the past three or four days was instantly swept away, and his whole body was indescribably relaxed, as if he had inexhaustible strength all of a sudden.

"Okay, okay, what a elixir. With your elixir, my father will have no worries. Maybe he can ascend to immortality after eating it."

"Wait, wait, little brother, you have something to say, something to say." The old man turned pale with fright, and backed away in fright.

Li Xiuyuan couldn't let him go, so he rushed over with big strides, kicked him over, and stepped on him.

"Now you know how to speak well? Why couldn't you speak well before? I sincerely beg you for a pill. Is it difficult for you?"

"No embarrassment, no embarrassment at all, the elixir is given to you by the old man, I will give it to you, the old man has not cultivated for a thousand years, and he will not be able to rise up after eating the old man, it is a wild story, it can't be true." The old man said quickly .

Li Xiuyuan said: "Even if you can't ascend, at least you can prolong your life, keep your body strong, let alone cure diseases and save lives."

After finishing speaking, he directly tied the old man tightly, and then lifted it up with one arm.

The old man struggled with all his strength, but saw that the five fingers spread out on their own while waving his hands. Looking again, where the fingers were, they were just five roots gathered together to form a human hand.

Under the wide robe, there are no human feet, only two medicinal stalks, with clear texture, light yellow skin, exuding a medicinal fragrance.

After a while, the white-haired and bearded old man revealed his prototype, which was a Polygonum multiflorum essence about the size of a six or seven-year-old child.

"You can't eat me, you can't eat me. The old man is a spirit with good fortune. He is protected by God. In a few decades, the old man will be able to ascend. He has already greeted the righteous god in the sky. If you eat me, you will definitely suffer. Heavenly punishment, you will kill your family if you implicate your family." The old man yelled.

"Okay, then go and file a complaint now to see if I will be punished by heaven." Li Xiuyuan grabbed him and walked down the mountain; "Don't you spirits go out of your body? I won't kill your soul either. It is enough for you to leave your body."

"You thief, I don't know what shameless means you used to seal the mana of the old man. After the old man is out of trouble, he will not let you go." The old man shouted angrily again.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Old man, don't be so impetuous when you are old, you have to be calm, since the old man is a spirit with deep blessings, then the old man may as well guess, if the sky does not kill you, you will get out of trouble, and in the future Becoming a fairy or a god is easy."

"If the old man can't get out of trouble, it means that the old man's life is exhausted. It's the heavens who want to destroy you, and I can't do anything about it. Immortals can't go against the sky, and mortals can't go against the sky, what do you think?"

He said back what the Polygonum multiflorum essence had told him before.

"Fart, fart." Polygonum multiflorum essence cursed.

"You also know how to be angry, and you also know how to swear? That's right, I was in the same mood just now, but for the sake of my father's life, I endured it, but in turn, you couldn't help but swear for your own life, It seems that your cultivation is not good enough, so you deserve this kind of calamity." Li Xiuyuan sneered.
