Chapter 227: Mysterious Old Man
Lorraine didn't feel the slightest joy of being praised when he heard the old man's words, but he meditated.
Although his fist was held by the opponent, he could feel that the old man should have no malice, otherwise, with the skill of the commoner old man, he would have died at least five or six times in the instant just now!
"What did you do to my classmate?" After groaning for a long time, Lorraine finally spoke, with a pair of eyes trying to look at the old man, but it was like looking at a vast ocean.
This feeling is different from ordinary looking at each other. If the opponent's eyes are of a fierce type, the gap between strengths will make the weak not dare to face the strong. But... this old man's eyes still didn't have any emotional fluctuations, but his face was slightly old, and a smile appeared.
"Don't worry, I have no malice towards your classmates, including you." At this time, the old man slowly released Lorraine's palm and passed Lorraine calmly. At this time, Lorraine was only I found that the old man was holding a basket in his other hand, and I didn't know what was in it.
At this time, the old man turned his back to Lorraine, and if Lorraine wanted to kill him, he would be more comfortable.
But he didn’t do that. If the old man in front of him was a python-level figure that Lorraine had encountered before, then he would dare to let go of his hand and go for a fight, believing that with his current internal knowledge, Coupled with the physique that has been exercised for a period of time, it can succeed.
But for the old man in front of him, Lorraine didn't have the slightest confidence.
Lorraine knew very well that the strength gap between himself and this old man could not be measured! From the fact that the old man showed his back in front of Lorraine's eyes with such confidence, it was enough to show that he did not think Lorraine was a threat.
After a brief entanglement in his heart, Lorraine finally decided to give up. Although the old man said that he had no malice towards him and Kang Mengmeng, Lorraine was a cautious person and would not trust him until he was not sure about his safety. Others, so even though I gave up the frontal conflict at this time, I still remain vigilant at all times in my heart.
"This old gentleman, I am this girl's classmate." At this time, Lorraine pointed to Kang Mengmeng, who was sleeping on the straw mat. "We are freshmen at Jinghua University. Yesterday it was for a camping project. She went camping in the woods at the foot of Yanshan Mountain. She disappeared last night. Our entire military training team is looking for her. Since I found her, I will take her back. I hope the old man will not stop her."
With that, Lorraine walked towards Kang Mengmeng again.
At this time, the old man spread out another straw mat and sat on it, then took out a small casserole from the basket, poured some water into it with a luggage kettle, and then put it in again and couldn’t name it. The plants went in, swayed a little, put them on the campfire, and boiled slowly.
"Young man, I have already said, don't touch this girl. The venom from her wound has not been completely removed. I need to boil the potion applied outside of my pot to draw out the last venom near the wound for her. Move your body." The old man said faintly at this time, boiled the herbs calmly, and appeared to take out a small cattail fan from the basket leisurely, and slightly fanned it against the bonfire.
Lorraine paused for a while when he heard the words of the old man in Commoner, but he didn't believe it too much in his heart. Maybe... this old man was delaying time? But it is also unlikely. What good is it for him to delay time? If he wanted to solve me, he would have done it a long time ago, so why bother?
Thinking, I lowered my head and looked at the dark purple blood faintly sticking out of the wound that Kang Mengmeng bandaged. It did seem to be poisoned. Looking at Kang Mengmeng’s purplish lips, he was not optimistic, even with this appearance. Going back to the base camp, you may not be able to get timely treatment, and that is, what if what the old man in commoner said is true? In that case, wouldn't Lorraine become the murderer who killed Kang Mengmeng?
Anyway, at the moment, this old man doesn't seem to be the kind of unpredictable person. Although the origin is unknown, Lorraine has no other choice.
After hesitating for a while, Lorraine simply sat on the floor, ready to chat with the old man, to see if he could ask some things about the other party from his words. If it is a malicious person, Lorraine believes that during the conversation, More or less flaws will be exposed.
"This old gentleman, what should I call you?" Lorraine's attitude eased a little at this time, and the hostility in his eyes gradually faded.
The old man in the commoner still has that smile and kindness, a harmless appearance of humans and animals, and said faintly: "Birth does not bring, death does not take away, the name is only a code name for the last life, you and I also meet in peace, knowing What about the name taboo? You keep calling me old gentleman, then continue calling me old gentleman."
Hearing these words, Lorraine paused slightly in his heart: This old man has a very good mentality, as if he saw through the world. Such a person shouldn't have any dirty thoughts, right? Even if he did, his strength and realm shouldn't be tempted by students who meet like us.
With this thought in mind, Lorraine asked vigilantly again: "Old sir, how long will it take for the topical medicine you are brewing? Because everyone is looking for it in a hurry, so..." After looking at it, I don’t know why. This piece of wood doesn’t feel the same as the woods outside before. Here, he has no sense of direction at all. Even though he only walked thirty or forty meters underground, it felt like it was. To another area.
This may be his illusion, but no matter what, now Kang Mengmeng is here, Lorraine can't leave by himself.
"Soon, wait patiently." The old man seemed to see through Lorraine's mind, as if he wanted to relax Lorraine, he chatted with him, "Look at your temperament... you should have a set Do you exercise the inner home breath by yourself? Well, it’s peculiar. If you give you enough time, maybe you can be among the masters of the Chinese martial arts world under the age of 30. If it’s me before, you might consider it. I will accept you as my apprentice, and teach you some skills. But... I like this life without controversy now.... Even so, I can still call you a few words. Although the improvement is fast, there are still some drawbacks."
"Disadvantages?" Lorraine paused in his heart at this time, he was still more interested in these topics.
"Yeah." The old man nodded slowly, "If I'm not wrong, you belong to the layman and the internal martial arts. You should have practiced two kinds of martial arts? One is Taijiquan and the other is. It’s a violent weird inner strength, which is very bad."
"Ok??"
Lorraine was even more shocked when he heard this!
good eyesight! !
This old man's knowledge is really not covered! Even just by one side, he can determine the types of methods and techniques he has practiced!
The old man continued: "Tai Chi, pays attention to the harmony of yin and yang, pays attention to the natural nature, follow the trend of the sky, borrow the power of the sky, use the strength and softness to move the universe and take advantage of strength. In other words, oneself is more like a medium , Even in the face of the enemy, it is the opponent's attack, through his own shift, and then the opponent's attack power is returned to the opponent as it was. Therefore, you need to be soft enough to not respond to changes. And you That other kind of weird inner strength is too violent and excessive, but cannot be controlled well. It is contrary to your Taijiquan.... You will know later that soft methods are far more powerful than strong hands. Effective and more powerful. This truth is also valid when you put it between your competitors in real society and various industries."
Regarding the old man's remarks, Lorraine frowned, thinking hard.
I have to say that these words are very reasonable. Soft means are far more effective and powerful than strong hands?
Lorraine remembered his usual style. It was indeed too aggressive, especially when Zhengzhou City was fighting against Na Chishi and Qianhu. Under his hands, many people's hands and feet were also abolished. The method was called one. Tough and tough.
Soft means?
This point is more suitable for commercial contests. For example, if you charge the four giants in the future, you can't head-on, know how to follow the sky, and then use the sky to play Tai Chi. Maybe you can achieve twice the result with half the effort?
These principles were enough for Lorraine to digest for a while.
"..." After a long silence, Lorraine said to the old man very seriously, "Old sir, I have benefited a lot from your words, thank you."
"Hehe, don't thank me. Although you and I met by chance, it's a destiny. I didn't expect my old man to walk the world alone to find some medicinal materials. He would be able to save the next life by chance, and I also saw you such a funny one. Young man." The old man smiled.
"Looking for medicinal materials?" Lorraine asked in surprise.
"Did you climb up from that cave just now? Did you see those wet lucid ganoderma? This kind of medicinal material is hard to find... I didn't expect to find it at the foot of Yanshan Mountain." The old man smiled. Shook his head.
Lorraine recalled the strange-shaped Ganoderma lucidum he had seen in the underground. It was probably the rare medicinal material that the old man had said. After a pause, he asked, "The old man, why didn't you pick all the Ganoderma lucidum?"
"It's against the law of greed to chew too much, to cut the roots, to destroy the vitality, it is against the way of nature, this kind of silly thing, I have done too much before, now I have curtailed my mind, I have seen my life, and I don't want to do it again..." The old man sighed. He took a breath, then stood up, walked towards Kang Mengmeng, and then applied the boiled medicine to the wound on Kang Mengmeng’s ankle bitten by the poisonous snake. While treating the wound for Kang Mengmeng, he confronted Luo. Lin slowly said, "Young man, have you ever heard of the'Sky Eye Organization' in China?"
