I am immortal

Negative one thousand two hundred steps.

Lives to one thousand two hundred years.

What a powerful statement.

The insects and lights in the gauze bag seemed to be in a trance for a moment. Qi Wuhuo raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him. His chewing movements slowed down, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Could I be joking?"

"According to legend, even Peng Zu only had a life span of 800 years, 1,200 years old?"

The old man spread his hands and said with a playful smile: "Who is calling you, you don't want this or that. The old man is worried, so naturally he made a joke for you, haha...ah, don't be worried, kid, and leave me alone. Meat porridge!”

The old man wanted to joke for a while, but when he saw this young man from a small town quickly trying to take away the old man's meat porridge, he couldn't help but laugh. After calling a few times, the young man put the meat porridge back to him.

Qi Wuhuo was usually silent, upright and upright, and it was only at this time that he could see the character of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. The old man stroked his beard and smiled.

From then on, the so-called good karma was no longer mentioned.

Qi Wuhuo lived far away from the town, but the news spread very quickly. The news that the Qi family's children brought back an old man from outside quickly spread to several nearby streets.

Some said that this was an elder from the same clan as him, some said that he was related to the family, and some said that Qi Wuzhuo coveted the old man's wealth, so he could support him. If you want to ask why, let's look at the purple robe he is wearing. , but for that outfit, there was nothing comparable in the entire town.

If not, how could Qi Wuhuo, the extremely poor and poor man, bring him back?

These gossips were passed around, but Qi Wuhuo ignored them, saying, "A gentleman is upright and blameless." Those people also felt bored. Slowly, this news was replaced by other people's "big news." The 'new talk' was suppressed.

Small towns and villages, mostly like this.

On the next ten days, heavy snow fell, and the whole town became cleaner and cleaner, as if isolated from the world. The old man who called himself Li and took the nickname Fan was slowly brewing a pot of tea, while Qi Wuhuo was chopping firewood in the yard with an axe.

He didn't know why, but he just felt that his strength had grown stronger and stronger in the past ten days. Even a strong man could split a large bowl of firewood with two or three blows. In the past, it would have taken him five or six blows, but now it only took one. Just drop the ax.

The ax struck again, and the firewood was split with just a click. However, the ax continued to cut deeply into the ground, and the ax blade was embedded in it, making it impossible to pull it out for a while.

Qi Wuhuo was stunned.

The old man who was making tea suddenly said with a teasing smile: "Strength comes from one's own. I didn't expect that Wuhuo, you actually have some martial arts skills in the martial arts. Have you practiced any magical scriptures?"

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

After thinking for a while, he leaned down and twirled the firewood, and said, "Maybe the firewood has been left out for too long and the wood has become loose, which is why it is so easy to split."

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

This cabin also has a small yard. The door was already dilapidated. Qi Wuhuo used wooden stakes to make a simple wooden door. It opened with just a push. Some rough people even kicked it open, but the visitor still knocked. Qi Wuhuo already had a rough idea of ​​who was coming.

He put down the ax for chopping wood, straightened up his appearance a little, and hurried forward to open the door.

With a creaking sound, the wooden door opened. There was snow on the door. When it was opened, it fell to the ground. There were three old pines on the roadside outside the door, and there were people under the pines.

Qi Wuhuo raised his eyes and saw that it was the gentleman wearing a green robe. The robe was thick but not cumbersome. On one side was a woman wearing a white placket embroidered with a large bowl of peony jacket, holding a green bamboo umbrella to protect her from the wind and snow. , the men and women have elegant temperament, which is incompatible with this small town.

From the outside, they saw a huge difference between him and the poor young man in a brown short robe, with only a straw rope tied up his hair to prevent it from being unkempt.

Qi Wuhuo slightly cupped his hands and said calmly:

"I don't know if Mr. and Mrs. Su are visiting, but please come in."

Su Shengyuan stretched out his hand to stop and said with a smile: "No, no, it's going to snow heavily. I'm going home with my wife to visit her relatives. We have to go to the next city tonight, and there's still a long way to go, so I won't go in."

Qi Wuhuo raised his eyes slightly and saw that on the side of the road, a few hundred steps away from this remote alley, there was a green carriage drawn by two horses. There seemed to be something on it. A fiery red figure opened the curtain of the carriage and looked over.

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

Su Shengyuan glanced at his wife and coughed slightly.

The elegant woman rolled her eyes at her husband, then took the initiative to hand over a package in her arms, straightened the collar of Qi Wuzhuo a little, and said in a broad and gentle voice: "It's very cold in winter, don't let it freeze. There are two bags inside." A cotton dress and a pair of thick-soled shoes with fine needle holes are suitable for you to wear in these three months."

"You can't refuse."

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

Su Shengyuan raised his hand with a smile and said: "I know that you have an upright character, but don't you hear that 'it is a gift from the elders that cannot be declined'? Okay, okay, Wuhu, your master's wife has good intentions, so don't refuse anymore."

Fu breathed out another breath of cold air and asked: "These days, heavy snow and deep winter, no lectures are given. How have you mastered the things you have learned in the past few years? How about I ask you a few questions?"

Immediately after the young man nodded, he asked.

Qi Wuhuo answered them one by one.

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

He stretched out his hand and patted Qi Wuhuo's shoulder vigorously, and said: "For the spring examination after March, I will recommend you. With your talents, you will dominate in one battle. Within three years, your reputation will spread among the prefectures and counties." between."

"Encourage it, encourage it!"

Qi Wuhuo vaguely seemed to hear the disdainful sneer 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 Wuhuo a lot, and then left at the secret urging of his wife.

Returning to the carriage, I was still filled with emotion.

Even his wife was a little shocked by her husband's performance and said, "That child... is he really that talented?"

Su Shengyuan sighed: "More than that, he is simply a person who is born with knowledge! Every time he speaks, there is something amazing about him. I have traveled around the fields of Kyushu for more than 30 years, and there may be people who are more knowledgeable than him, but I have never seen anyone more knowledgeable than him. Talented."

After thinking for a while, he looked to one side.

There is a girl who is thirteen years old, with her tail feathers hanging down. She is dressed in red and playing with a small mechanism in her hand. She is the daughter of the Su family. She is doted on by her family. Her clothes are all made of firefox fur, with cuffs and collars. Turned over, the white fluff was exposed, which made her eyebrows even more cute. I think in a few years, she will be extremely beautiful.

Su Shengyuan muttered:

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

The girl giggled and said, "Remember, that guy is always upright, like a bamboo, and is always the first one to come. Father, you said you were very talented, of course you remember that guy."

Su Shengyuan pondered and suddenly said:

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