Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

The cold wind howled and the snow fell heavily.

The last snow before early spring was particularly cold, as if we were back in the middle of winter again.

The chess game in the backyard of the drug store has reached its most intense moment.

Old Shen's moves are getting slower and slower. First, the chess game is becoming more complicated, and second, his energy is fading.

"Old man, besides revenge, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Chu Chen pondered for a long time and then spoke.

"I have lived for eighty years. The first sixty years I stayed in the villa. I was homeless for five or six years in the middle. The last ten years I stayed in this medicine shop. I was childless and alone. I wanted to talk about my unfulfilled wish.

I just couldn’t see you marrying a wife, having children, and enjoying the happiness of having children and grandchildren. "

Old Shen glanced at Chu Chen and said with an expression of disdain: "You are already over twenty. All you want to do is hang out in Manchun Courtyard all day long, and you don't even know how to marry a wife and live a good life."

Chu Chen's expression froze. He had traveled through time and space, but he still couldn't escape the fate of a blind date.

First, Li Xiaoer wanted him to go on a blind date, and now Old Man Shen came to urge him to get married.

"I……"

Just as Chu Chen was about to explain, he was interrupted by Old Shen.

"Don't think about making up excuses to lie to me. How can I not know your kid's temperament? You are just like me when I was young. You are disobedient to discipline and like freedom. I am a dying person. I don't want to control you and I can't control you."

Old Shen sighed.

"Old man, what are you talking about? You have such a strong body and bones, you can live for at least another twenty years."

Chu Chen's expression changed slightly and he smiled quickly.

"I know my own physical condition best. I am lucky enough to be able to escape with my life and return to the imperial capital."

Old Shen waved his hand, indicating that Chu Chen did not need to comfort him.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't marry a wife. The situation in the world is becoming more and more unstable. In the court, three sons are fighting for the right to be the legitimate sons. Outside the court, uprisings continue. Warlords are separatist. It's a scene of approaching troubled times.

If you don't have a wife, you will have one less burden. With your kid's mind, saving yourself shouldn't be a problem. "

Old Shen picked up the wine flask, took a long sip, and casually dropped a piece to suppress the white piece.

"Boy understands."

Chu Chen nodded in agreement.

"Boy, you must have been to the secret room, right? Which martial arts did you choose to practice?"

Old Shen asked.

"Suifeng Shenfa, Pointing Star Sword Technique."

"Yes, Suifeng Shenfa is the best light skill. If you can master it, your life-saving ability will be greatly improved. There are several excellent killing martial arts in the secret room. The Star Pointing Sword Technique is the least difficult to practice and is the most suitable for you to practice."

Old Shen praised him and was very satisfied with Chu Chen's choice.

It is extremely rare to not be dazzled by the many techniques in the secret room, but to choose the martial arts that is most suitable for you.

"While I still have time, if you have any questions about these two techniques or martial arts, you can ask me."

Old Shen's face was rosy at the moment, his spirit was abnormally excited, and his speed of making moves was a little faster.

"yes."

Chu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not refuse.

For a while, Old Shen played chess while answering Chu Chen's questions about his practice.

Old Shen spoke very carefully, and Chu Chen listened very carefully.

Whether it is Shui Yuan Jue, Suifeng Shenfa or Star Pointing Sword Jue, Old Shen has dabbled in them all.

With the Marrow Refining Realm, Chu Chen benefited a lot from a few words from a high position.

However, Chu Chen soon noticed that the blush on Old Shen's face was gradually fading, and his energy level was declining.

Clearly, the state of retrospection is coming to an end.

Snap!

Old Shen paused again and looked up at Chu Chen, with little blood left on his face:

"Whether it is Suifeng Shenfa or Pointing Star Sword Technique, they are more focused on offense and are sharp weapons for fighting with others. In terms of body training, they are not as good as Liuhe Fist.

Liuhe Quan is a boxing method that is unique in terms of body training and is stronger than many bodybuilding techniques. You must not abandon the practice of Liuhe Quan. "

"yes."

Chu Chen knew this clearly.

When broken down into two words, martial arts refers to martial arts and gong. Physical exercise and internal energy cultivation are gong, and fists, feet, swords, and spears are martial arts.

Only success can lead to military success!

Practicing martial arts without practicing kung fu will only result in nothing.

Liuhe Quan blends the two together, practicing martial arts at the same time. Of course, Liuhe Quan is more inclined to exercise, and is not as good as other boxing methods in terms of fighting with people.

This was also one of the reasons why the small martial arts school closed down.

However, Chu Chen possesses the Soul Seizing Body Training Sutra, which is far better than Liuhe Fist in body training, so he does not need to be obsessed with Liuhe Fist or other body training techniques.

"Boy, don't give up on the practice of Shui Yuan Jue. This technique is peaceful and nourishing for the body. It can prolong life. If you can persevere and practice this technique, it will be of great benefit to you."

Old Shen was talking nonchalantly, just like before.

Chu Chen felt a sense of warmth in his heart. It would be great if this scene could last a little longer.

Unfortunately, this is just a delusion.

"After I leave, you can do whatever you want with this pharmacy. Remember what I entrusted you to do."

Old Shen's voice became lower and lower, as if every word he said required a lot of effort.

"Boy remember."

Chu Chen looked solemn and said in a deep voice.

"good!"

Old Shen showed a smile and raised his right hand with great effort, as if to touch Chu Chen's cheek.

But.

Old Shen's hand had just been raised halfway before it dropped weakly, knocking over the chessboard and scattering the chess pieces all over the floor. Looking again, Old Shen had lowered his head, and his white hair was messy.

In an instant, the backyard of the drug store fell into dead silence.

"Huh~"

The snow was falling heavily, and the only sound in my ears was the howling of the cold wind, like the howl of a nighthawk.

Wind chill.

The snow is cold.

Chu Chen's heart became even colder.

There was no winner in this game of chess at the end. Chu Chen didn't win and Old Shen didn't lose.

Looking at Old Shen who was no longer alive, he felt a little sentimental and felt lost.

As a time traveler, at the beginning, it would be nonsense to say how deep my relationship with Old Shen was.

But humans are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless?

After spending more than a year with Old Shen day and night, he had already recognized Old Shen.

Although Old Shen was a bit nagging, he really regarded him as his nephew and descendant and taught him carefully. Even the inheritance of the medicine shop and Langhuan Villa were left to him.

"A mortal's life span lasts only a hundred years. Even an innate master can only live a maximum of two hundred years. Death is a fate that mortals cannot escape. They will fight for power and fight for a lifetime, but in the end they will be nothing more than a three-foot tomb and a piece of loess."

Chu Chen was touched.

Birth, old age, illness and death are matters for mortals.

As a person with the fruit of immortality, as long as he does not seek death, he will never die of old age.

Chu Chen quickly calmed down his emotions and stopped being sentimental. He went out and bought a coffin, and found a few people to take care of the funeral for Old Shen.

That night, the drug store had white lights hanging high.

Chu Chen personally arranged the appearance of Old Shen, carried the coffin into the burial, and sent Old Shen on his last journey.

Old Man Shen was finally buried in a cemetery twenty miles south of the imperial capital. Most of the ordinary people in the imperial capital chose to be buried here after their deaths, forming a huge cemetery group over time.

In front of the grave.

The flames swayed, engulfing the paper bundles, and tiny ashes flew randomly, intertwining with the drifting snow.

Through the flames swaying in the wind, Chu Chen seemed to see a tall, thin, white-haired old man with a mustache, smiling at him and waving goodbye.

"Old man, have a good trip!"
