Chu Weiyang seemed to have not heard the strong man's words, and he wolfed down the meat in the bowl with just a few chews. He took another big gulp, drank up the soup, and put the bowl down. The young man still licked his chapped lips as if he was having an afterthought, and then turned his head to look at the strong man.
"You have earned a living to this day! Do you still remember Zhang Laoqi, he is about the same age as you, and he started not remembering who he is dozens of days ago; Wu Er, he was the same as you back then. Realm, half a month ago at night, he froze to death next to me. Compared with age and cultivation, what else can compare? If you work hard for one more day in the future, you will earn more, so just be content!"
Trapped in this demon-suppressing cave, what Chu Weiyang saw most was the life and death of others.
The entrance to life and death, which should have brought great terror to people, has been seen too much for too long...compared to the pieces of meat in the bowl, it is difficult to say which one is more important.
As he spoke, Chu Weiyang pursed his lips and looked at the bowl held in the strong man's hand.
"Since you don't have a few days to live, why not give me those pieces of meat. I'll remember your kindness. When the day comes when you leave, I'll be there to take care of you, and I can teach you to be more decent."
Hearing this, the strong man was unable to cry or laugh.
"Don't worry about meat. We who are just begging for a living can't care about our dignity after death! We must eat well before we leave."
As he said this, the strong man took a mouthful of meat and soup in between the words. Before he finished speaking, the bowl in the strong man's hand was already clean.
"Then in Panwang Sect, it was Zhang Laoqi who taught us how to read and chant sutras; then Wu Er taught us martial arts and physical training; and finally it was you, the elder Chuan Gong, who taught us how to practice, but at the beginning After only two months of studying, someone came to my door and the whole family was detained in this Demon Suppressing Cave."
"Moreover, only by living can we wait for the real slight turning point!"
"That's what I say, but when death is imminent, I always want to live well."
Seeing that there was no benefit, Chu Weiyang stopped looking, folded his hands, leaned carefully against the stone wall, and closed his eyes to rest.
"Now that I think about it, if I hadn't done this back then, you might have been in a different situation."
"I can still remember the general outline, but I can't remember the details. I only vaguely remember that when I was a child, I grew up in the countryside. Then when I was seven years old, my family suffered a disaster, and there was no harvest. I starved to death all over the field and chewed all the food. I just gnawed the bark of the tree until my parents couldn't bear to exchange their children for food, so they sold me to Panwang Yuanzong in tears for half a bag of rice and noodles."
"Ever since you entered the monastery at the age of seven, you have always been a talkative person. Even as a young child at that time, you didn't know where those wisecracks came from."
"I didn't tell you before because I didn't have enough food. If we both practiced this technique together, I'm afraid they would both starve to death early."
After saying that, Chu Weiyang heard the strong man beside him sigh to himself.
"Today I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Do you want to practice this "Five Zangs and Food and Qi Essence" or not?"
"Perhaps, you died early in that catastrophe; maybe if you were lucky enough to survive the disaster, you wouldn't have to follow Pan Wang Yuanzong and suffer like this in the Demon Suppressing Cave..."
"I'm sorry for you, but you can still remember it so clearly."
After being silent for a long time, the strong man suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, do you still remember who you are?"
"I can't wait any longer, but I want you to wait!"
"Elder, don't worry about me anymore. There are traces of wasting away people's lives in the Demon Suppression Cave. You must first seal people's meridians with turbid evil, making it impossible to improve your cultivation. Then you can erase your consciousness and die in a state of confusion. past."
Perhaps he was too moved by what he heard, and Chu Weiyang laughed instead.
"Forget about the Panwang Sect, just remember the "Five Zangs and Food and Qi Essence", and find an opportunity in the future to pass it on, don't interrupt the inheritance..."
"Both of us, let's not talk in circles. Let me tell you straight, forget the "Qi Nourishing Technique". From today on, I will teach you the "Five Zangs and Food Qi Essence Technique"."
He scratched his head helplessly, with a sad expression on his face.
"I always think... I have a cause and effect for all the calamities you have suffered today."
But he was comfortable here, but the strong man seemed to be aroused to talk about sex. I don't know whether it was because of the fear of life and death, or because he knew that he no longer had to work hard to practice. Instead, he sat there and looked at Chu Weiyang for a long time. .
"Actually, there is no legal system to speak of. It is said to be a sect, with two or three big cats and kittens. A person like me can also be an elder... That is, I was not killed by people from the Sword Sect that year. Wang Zong is not far away from defeat."
"It's better to remember clearly. Anping Village, thirty miles south of the mouth of the Chalcedony River, was where I bought you with half a bag of rice and noodles."
"Suddenly increasing the amount of condensed evil spirits is not a normal phenomenon. The evil energy in the grotto is permeating as usual, and it is not like the mineral veins are exhausted... In short, there must be demons when things go wrong. The turnaround seems slim, but You may not be able to wait..."
"On the third day after Wu Er's death, you started asking me indirect questions. Don't you just want to know how I survived for such a long time?"
After a while, the young man nodded.
"This must be the case in order to be considered to have orderly growth and development."
"Now that my death is not far away, everyone has much more food than before. I can still survive for a while. With me taking care of you, you can improve your cultivation and take care of yourself when the time comes; otherwise I Once you leave, this technique will become a poisonous poison that will destroy your life!"
Chu Weiyang shrugged.
"Now I am meditating according to "Qi Nourishing Jue", and I can still make some progress. I think I won't die in the next few days. Just relax, and always walk behind you, elder."
"Xiao Chu, don't talk in circles with me anymore."
"These words are getting further and further away. What kind of legal system and inheritance are they? Do you think the evil spirit we condense every day is fake? It is a poison that beats the bones and drains the marrow! No matter how exquisite this method is, it can't save you. Is it possible that you can save my life? Even if you can live forever and die trapped in this demon-suppressing cave, I might as well end it myself!"
Hearing this, the strong man sighed.
"I haven't seen them since then."
The strong man grinned, as if he wanted to smile, but he held it back.
"The legal tradition of Panwang Sect..."
"Later on, I felt groggy, day and night, and I don't know how many years have passed."
Chu Weiyang didn't answer for a moment. He opened his eyes suddenly and stared into the deep darkness of the cave, staring blankly.
Hearing this, Chu Weiyang nodded almost without thinking.
"Xiu! Who are you talking about in circles? I am willing to cultivate!"
After saying that, Chu Weiyang raised his withered arm and gently patted the strong man's arm.
"Elder, you saved my life with half a bag of rice and noodles. Now it is difficult to provide for me in old age. When you leave, I will kowtow to you until you die."
