Chapter 54 The Master of the Kitchen

There is a problem with the people who can appear in this Ruyi Building!

How many martial arts masters, great officials and powerful people outside want to enter Ruyi Tower to see the world but cannot enter. But the hunchbacked old man in front of him can be unobstructed in this building?

Just a sweeping old man?

I'm afraid it's not that simple!

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't know Lin Hengzhong, he had learned a few words from the woman in red and the people in the house.

Although Lin Hengzhong is not a person with high suspicion, he is definitely not a good person. If he thinks that he can destroy all countries, the king of a different surname who is naturally not a good person.

This Ruyi Tower devoted all his efforts to collect the peerless treasures he had plundered from the world over the years. How could an ordinary person be allowed to guard the building and sweep the floor here?

The hunchbacked old man in front of him, even if he is not a peerless master, he must be a simple person!

Mostly of the origin is extraordinary!

After a conclusion in his heart, Lin Jiangnian's mind gradually became active. After a brief thought, he slowly walked up to the old man and said, "Senior?"

The old man who was lowering his head to sweep the floor seemed to have some insights. He looked back and glanced at Lin Jiangnian, and seemed to be slightly stunned: "It's you?"

"It's me!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded and smiled: "Senior, we are meeting again!"

The old man shook his head gently: "I can't be called a senior..."

After saying that, he turned around and continued to sweep his floor.

"senior!"

Lin Jiangnian called him to stop.

The old man paused: "Is there anything else?"

Lin Jiangnian nodded slightly, looked up at the old man in front of him, and said, "I want to have a good chat with my senior, but I wonder if I can... enjoy the face?"

The old man sighed: "What's there to talk to me, a decadent old man?"

Lin Jiangnian said, "Since we can meet here, we are destined to do so!"

"Besides, I guess I have been here for a long time, and I'm still a little confused and want to ask for an answer... I wonder if I'm willing?"

The old man looked up at Lin Jiangnian, was silent for a moment, and nodded again: "Since you, the young man, are you willing to pay attention to me, the old man, then..."

"It's rare that no one has talked to me, the old man, for a long time."

As he said that, the old man cleared the last little dust on the ground, put down his broom, and walked to the bookshelf beside him.

Behind the bookshelf there, near the window, there was an old and dark table. On the table was a half-open book, a lamp, and a half pot of wine.

The old man slowly walked to the table and sat down, "Sit down."

Lin Jiangnian was not polite either. He walked up to sit opposite the old man and looked up at him.

The old man reached out and hammered his waist, sighed: "It's old, no more!"

His appearance at this time was like an old man who was about to die, old and weak, and he could not see any sign of a hidden master.

Disguised?

But... this disguise is a bit too similar?

Lin Jiangnian looked calm and asked tentatively: "Senior, is Gui Geng this year?"

The old man sighed: "I can't remember clearly, I'm probably over 60 years old."

More than sixty?

"Senior is getting stronger and stronger, but I can't see it!"

Lin Jiang smiled and asked again: "How long have you been in this Ruyi Building?"

"It's been about twenty years."

Twenty years?

Lin Jiangnian was shocked.

Can you stay in this Ruyi Building for more than 20 years?

Wouldn't it mean that the old man in front of him has been from middle age to old age?

"Senior, have you not been out in the past twenty years?"

"No."

"Why don't you go out?"

"Why go out?"

“…”

The old man's turbid gaze was very calm, and he just sighed: "I'm such a bad old man, I don't know where to go after leaving here. Instead of being like this, it's better to stay here and be purified!"

The more he talked, the more Lin Jiangnian felt that this old man was not simple. He glanced at the half-opened book on the table and could vaguely see some content...

But what surprised Lin Jiangnian was that books were not martial arts secrets, nor were they books for political strategies and military strategists. Instead, they were... philosophical ideas for self-cultivation?

"Senior has been in this Ruyi Building for more than 20 years. I guess he should be very familiar with this place, right?"

Lin Jiangnian, who came to his senses, spoke again.

The old man thought about it and nodded slightly: "It's quite familiar... I wonder what you want to ask?"

"I've been idle lately and I'm a little interested in world martial arts and poisons, so I want to ask my senior..."

Lin Jiangnian looked at him and asked tentatively: "Senior, do you know what are the most powerful martial arts and poisons in the world?"

Martial arts are just a cover. Lin Jiangnian’s real purpose is to try out whether he can find clues about Gu poison from the old man in front of him.

The old man was slightly stunned. After looking at Lin Jiangnian, he shook his head gently: "Where is the most powerful martial arts in this world? Martial arts has not been distinguished from high and low since ancient times, but people are just people... If you want to learn martial arts, there are all kinds of martial arts in this Ruyi Building, depending on what you like... As for the poison you mentioned..."

The old man sighed lightly and pointed to the book on the bookshelf beside Lin Jiangnian: "You can look for it!"

Lin Jiangnian turned around and found a book from the bookshelf next to him, a book about poisonous substances in the world.

Lin Jiangnian saw this book yesterday. After a few glances at the contents of the book, he asked calmly: "This book says that there was a poison in Miaojiang, a country that was destroyed in the past. This poison is the most outstanding in the world?"

"Probably..."

The old man nodded slightly.

"Senior knows this poison?"

"I don't know."

"If I want to learn Gu poison, can I give me some advice?"

The old man looked at Lin Jiangnian and shook his head gently: "I can't teach you."

“Why.”

"The most difficult thing about Gu poison is not to drain it, but to raise it... Whether you can develop Gu is the most critical step for Gu poison!"

"The technique of raising Gu has almost become extinct, and it is not easy to learn it. And this poison is too domineering, which is harmful to the law of nature..."

Speaking of this, the old man seemed to think of something and sighed softly: "Anyone who raises Gu will most likely be backfired."

"Back off?"

Lin Jiangnian's eyes narrowed: "How do you say this?"

The old man narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, and then he slowly said: "In the Miaojiang area, there was a teaching of raising Gu in the past. It was rumored that Gu infestations were extremely difficult to cultivate and were too rare. People who raise Gu infestations need to raise them with their own blood until they have some resonance with the Gu infestations before they can be considered successful..."

"So, once the Gu insect is damaged, the person who raises Gu will definitely suffer backlash and severe damage. Of course, in addition to this, there is a more mysterious love Gu..."

"Love Gu?"

Hearing this name, Lin Jiangnian asked: "What kind of poison is this?"

"This Gu poison is too mysterious and there is very little news. I only know that it is the treasure of the Miaojiang Gu Sect, but it has been lost for nearly a hundred years. This Gu insect is extremely difficult to refine and cultivate. As for what its use is..."

The old man sighed softly: "It is rumored that people who are under the love Gu will gradually develop feelings for those who are under the love Gu. In addition, it is rumored that once the Gu insect is under the seed, the fate of the person who is under the seed will be bound together. If any person has an accident, the other person will not be able to survive... Therefore, it is called Love Gu."

Speaking of this, the old man shook his head again: "However, the love Gu has been lost for nearly a hundred years, and it is impossible to verify the authenticity of the truth and falsehood. It's just a rumor in the world..."

“…”

Lin Jiangnian was silent.

I couldn't get a way to detoxify the poison from the old man in front of me, but I had a rough understanding of the poison.

The more you understand, the more shocked you are!

The Gu Poison thing is indeed too terrifying and domineering, which damages the good deeds!

You said that a pretty girl would play with poison?

Lin Jiang sighed and looked up at the old man in front of him. From the communication just now, he became more and more convinced that the old man in front of him was not simple.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian felt aroused in his heart: "By the way, I haven't asked the name of the senior yet..."
