Chapter 217: Eternal Youth
Feng Yi turned his eyes and suddenly his eyes lit up. He saw the Child-Father of Tianshan grabbing a bamboo partridge beside a tree and sucking its blood. Ah Zi saw him coming out and said in surprise: "Brother, she asked me to catch a few bamboo partridges for her, but she, she..."
Before she finished speaking, Tianshan Tonglao threw the chicken to the ground, snorted, and cursed: "I thought you were a good girl, but you are also a coward. Wuyazi is really blind!"
It was already noon, and her white teeth were covered in blood, and her mouth was also covered in blood. She was grinning as she spoke, which was really frightening.
Ah Zi's cheeks were flushed with blood. She spat fiercely and said angrily, "Why are you showing off in front of the girl? I caught the chicken for you because of my elder brother and Grandpa Wuyazi. If you anger the girl, I will make you unable to move an inch!"
Feng Yi found it interesting and amused, thinking: "The Child-Grandma of Tianshan is used to being overbearing and always beats and scolds Xu Zhu. How can Ah Zi accept this?"
When Tong Lao was scolded by her, her face immediately turned gloomy, but she just pursed her lips and glared without saying a word.
Although she and A Zi had only known each other for a short time, she could see that this girl was a little devil who was not afraid of anyone except Feng Yi.
As the saying goes, a wise man does not suffer a loss in front of him, so why bother with her? He jumped onto a rock, sat cross-legged in meditation, pointed his right index finger to the sky, pointed his left index finger to the ground, let out a "hey" from his mouth, and two thin white streams of air came out of his nostrils.
Feng Yi glanced at Ah Zi and said with a smile: "Are you still afraid of this?"
Ah Zi rolled her eyes at him and said, "She sucks blood from living creatures, aren't you afraid?" The reason she was afraid was that the Child-Father of Tianshan had the body of a little girl but the voice of an old woman, and she actually sucked blood from living creatures, which was even more weird than the Xingxiu Sect.
Feng Yi asked again: "Then you don't recognize this Kung Fu?"
Ah Zi was stunned. She saw white steam rising from the head of Tianshan Child-Grandma, like a boiling pot. The white steam surrounded her and gradually engulfed her body. She blurted out, "Is this the Eternal Youth Kung Fu?"
Feng Yi smiled and said, "Yes, it is the eternal and everlasting Changchun Gong. If she doesn't drink the raw blood, her true energy will boil and she will die."
Ah Zi also secretly learned the Immortality Changchun Kung Fu from Ding Chunqiu, but what Ding Chunqiu learned was incomplete. Every time he practiced, he just used his palms to absorb the poison, let alone her.
So this real "Eternal Youth Skill" was the first time I saw it. Thinking of Tong Lao's vampire look just now, my heart couldn't help but beat fast. I immediately understood Feng Yi's intention of not letting me practice the "Eternal Youth Skill".
This is indeed an evil skill. I'm glad I didn't practice it.
After about a cup of tea, the bones in Tong Lao's body made a crackling sound, and the white gas became thicker and thicker. Her face and body could no longer be seen clearly. There was only a long, round column of gas.
Feng Yi took a few steps forward, secretly practicing his magical skills, and used his mind to feel the changes in the energy in Tong Lao's body. He realized that although she looked calm on the outside, her blood was surging like the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers in her body. He thought to himself: "This eternal and everlasting Changchun skill really has some tricks. It seems necessary to discuss it with her!"
Feng Yi said to Ah Zi, "You protect her, I'll go get rid of the chicken."
He had amazing hearing and could hear the sound of gurgling water dozens of meters away. He then picked up a few bamboo chickens on the ground, leaped a few times, came to a stream, rolled up his sleeves, washed and skinned the chickens, and then came back.
Ah Zi had already lit a bonfire. Feng Yi took out some seasoning from the cloth bag and sprinkled it on the chicken. Soon a strong fragrance filled the air, making Ah Zi salivate. She asked, "How did you do this? Why is it so fragrant?"
Feng Yi smiled and said, "This is what the beggar ancestor taught me."
Feng Yi spent nearly a year with the glutton Hong Qigong, and learned a lot from him. He knew what seasonings to use for roast chicken, which was naturally a must-have when traveling in the martial arts world.
When the chicken was cooked, the sound of popping beans on Tong Lao's body gradually became lighter and lighter, and the "air column" gradually shrank, revealing a person. Tong Lao was seen continuously inhaling white mist through her nostrils. After the white mist was completely inhaled, Tong Lao opened her eyes and slowly stood up.
Ah Zi rubbed her eyes immediately because she found that Tong Lao's expression was quite strange, but she couldn't tell what was different.
Feng Yi clapped his hands and laughed, "Shaving off the hair and removing the marrow, getting rid of the old and bringing in the new, wonderful, wonderful. I have long heard that Master Tong is immortal and evergreen. Seeing him today, I find that his reputation is well-deserved."
Tong Lao glanced at him and said calmly, "You are not honest. How can such a small trick be regarded as a masterpiece by a master like you?"
She said she didn't care, but she was secretly happy in her heart.
Tong Lao was a martial arts master with a high position and power, so she was used to hearing praises and was tired of it. However, when Feng Yi said these words, even though she knew it was flattery, it was still a special feeling. She just hoped that he would praise her more.
This is the reason why people have different abilities and their words carry different weight.
Feng Yi said, "Eat first." He handed one piece of chicken to A Zi and another to Tong Lao.
Ah Zi took a bite and found the meat tender, soft and sticky, fresh and delicious with a sweet fragrance. The taste was wonderful, and she had never tasted anything like it in her life. She glanced at Feng Yi and was a little surprised. She thought, "If the beggar ancestor has this ability, why does he still stay a beggar? Why can't he support himself?"
Tong Lao was even more hungry. She devoured the chicken in no time. As she ate, she exclaimed in admiration, "Good, good, good. It turns out that capable people are capable everywhere. The chicken is fresh and sweet. I have never eaten such a delicious chicken."
He even gnawed the chicken bones clean and kept smacking his lips, as if he was enjoying the taste.
Feng Yi laughed loudly and said, "If Tong Lao doesn't mind, let's go back to Lingjiu Palace. I will roast for you every day."
Tong Lao wiped the grease from her lips, shook her head and said, "We can't go back to Lingjiu Palace."
Feng Yi asked: "What?"
Tong Lao sighed and said, "What you said just now is right. If I don't drink the raw blood to practice martial arts, I will die!"
Feng Yi shook his head: "You are a lucky person. Even without me, you will not die."
Tong Lao's face darkened, her eyes frosted, and she said coldly, "I know you are arrogant and look down on everyone, but Tianshan Tong Lao doesn't like anyone to refute her words.
But I never thank anyone in my life. You saved my life, and I will repay you in the future."
Feng Yi thought, "I've been waiting for you to say this." He smiled and said, "To be honest, Mr. Wuyazi was dying at that time. He just briefly talked about the Tianshan Six Yang Palm, Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand and other martial arts, and said that the martial arts map of the Xiaoyao Sect is in Lingjiu Palace. If you want to comprehend it, let me come to you. Master Tong, if you can agree, I will be very grateful."
Tong Lao nodded: "Since you are the head of Xiaoyao Sect, this is simple, but there is no rush now."
Feng Yi frowned slightly: "What?"
Tong Lao sighed and said, "Don't you know the drawbacks of my technique?"
Feng Yi said, "Mr. Wuyazi once told me about you. He told me everything in secret. He said that you three brothers and sisters have the same martial arts, but your internal skills are different. You need to rejuvenate every thirty years with your Changchun skill that allows you to stay young forever."
Ah Zi thought, "So that's how it is." Thinking back to when Wuyazi was silent for a while before he passed on his skills, it turned out that he was transmitting secret messages to Feng Yi. She exclaimed, "It's amazing that he can turn back the aging process to youth."
But Feng Yi said: "It's just that during this period, all your power will be lost. Mr. Wuyazi has carefully calculated that this period is the day when your power will be lost. Li Qiushui is not on good terms with you, and he is afraid that she will make things difficult for you, so he asked me to come and protect you. As long as you can survive three months, you don't have to be afraid of Li Qiushui.
In fact, Wuyazi never mentioned the matter of Tianshan Tonglao to Feng Yi. Feng Yi just entrusted his prophecy to the mouth of a dead man. Of course, he knew better that getting Wuyazi out would be more conducive to his going to Lingjiu Palace.
In Feng Yi's opinion, everything in this world is a business of equal exchange. Although integrity is important, sometimes it has to be packaged in order to sell at a good price.
Of course, this is also a kind of psychological comfort for the infatuated Tong Lao, a win-win situation, why not? Sure enough, when Tong Lao heard that Wuyazi even remembered the day when she was dismissed, it was obvious that he had her in his heart. Her heart was pounding, her face flushed, and she was extremely excited. She thought back to the sweetness she had with Wuyazi in the past, and she was in a trance for a while, forgetting where she was.
After a while of silence, Tong Lao finally woke up and said slowly, "Do you know what happened between me and Li Qiushui?"
Before Feng Yi could speak, Ah Zi muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it just stealing a man? What's there to say?"
Tong Lao said coldly: "You are so bold, girl, how dare you talk to me like this?"
Ah Zi just smiled.
Tong Lao looked ahead and said slowly: "You are not outsiders either, you can listen to some of our stories.
Although Wuyazi, Li Qiushui and I all learned from the same master, what we learned were quite different. Wuyazi achieved the greatest and had the strongest skills, so he inherited our master's title as the head of the "Xiaoyao Sect".
I am indeed practicing the "Eternal Spring Kung Fu". Originally, my master only passed it on to me, but I passed it on to Wuyazi. However, something unexpected happened later, and he was unable to learn it in its entirety. "
Ah Zi was very curious and asked, "What happened?"
Tong Lao's lips trembled and she remained silent.
Feng Yi knew that it was because Tong Lao had gone astray and could not grow up that Wuyazi had fallen in love with someone else.
After a long while, Tong Lao slowly said: "This Kung Fu is extremely powerful. If you practice it well, you can live forever. However, every thirty years, you will revert to youth and lose all your power. Every time you practice, you can recover one year's power.
I have been practicing this Kung Fu since I was six years old. After a few years, the power of this internal energy became apparent, but my body has since stopped growing and I will always look like I am eight or nine years old.
If I had started practicing at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and had returned to being seventeen or eighteen when I regained my youth, that would have been wonderful! "
After hearing this, Ah Zi couldn't help but said, "You practiced martial arts incorrectly, that's why you became a dwarf..." She spoke quickly and almost said the word "dwarf", but was stopped by Feng Yi.
Tong Lao shook her head gently: "I was born with a disorder of the three burners. If I practice superior internal skills early, there is hope of recovery. So my master taught me the eternal and eternal Changchun skill, because this internal skill cultivates the Shaoyang triple burner meridians.
When I was 26 years old, I could have recovered and grown up again, but I was framed at the critical moment and became possessed. This dwarf body has been with me for the rest of my life, and I have lost everything. "
"What a pity, what a pity." Ah Zi shook her head repeatedly.
Tong Lao said grimly: "Do you know who is the person who framed me?"
Ah Zi's mind suddenly changed, and she blurted out, "Could it be your junior sister Li Qiushui?"
"You are really smart, girl!" Tong Lao smiled bitterly: "I regained my youth at the age of thirty-six, and it took me thirty days. I regained my youth at the age of sixty-six, and it took me sixty days. This year I am ninety-six years old, and it will take me ninety days to regain my youth again.
During these ninety days, you must drink fresh blood every noon in order to practice. After one day of practice, your strength will be restored to that of a seven-year-old. On the second day, you will be restored to that of an eight-year-old. On the third day, you will be restored to that of a nine-year-old. Each day is one year.
Ah Zi was shocked when she heard this, and kept saying "good girl". Seeing her expression, Tong Lao smiled and said, "Don't think this is a good thing. Li Qiushui naturally knows the day when I will disperse my power and return my qi, and she will definitely come to embarrass me. Grandma can't show weakness and go down Piao Miao Peak to avoid it. So she instructed her maids and servants to come up with various strategies to resist, and Grandma practiced on her own.
Unexpectedly, before Li Qiushui arrived, Boss Wu and his men broke into the mountain. My men were concentrating on guarding against Li Qiushui, otherwise, with the limited skills of Cave Master An and Boss Wu, how could they have come to the mountain with such a swagger? At that time, I was on the third day of my training, and was captured by Boss Wu. I only had the skills of a nine-year-old, and I couldn't resist. If I didn't pretend to be dumb, those demons and ghosts might have recognized my accent.
During the following days, I could not drink raw blood and remained a nine-year-old child.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Alas, this rejuvenation is like a snake shedding its shell. It grows bigger each time it sheds its shell, but if you get caught halfway through shedding your shell, it will be very dangerous. Fortunately, during the first few years of my training, my skills were not very advanced, so I could survive without drinking raw blood for a few days. If I had delayed for another day or two, I would still not have been able to drink raw blood and practice, and my Qi would have burst in my body, and I would have died."
Ah Zi recalled how she was hunted by the Xingxiu Sect, and how Tong Lao suffered torture to survive, crying in front of everyone. She thought that she would be the same, so she said, "Grandma, you are really amazing. I shouldn't be so mean to you."
Tong Lao laughed loudly and said, "In fact, you and I have the same temper, that is, we will never suffer any loss. But it's also good this way, as a woman, you should be more assertive, otherwise you will be bullied to death by stinky men."
Feng Yi guessed correctly, the three brothers and sisters of Xiaoyao Sect all had profound inner strength and high martial arts skills, but except Tong Lao, the other two were not loyal in love.
Wuyazi fell in love with Tong Lao first. Later, when Tong Lao was practicing martial arts, she was deliberately disturbed by Li Qiushui, so her body could never grow up and her appearance became bad. Wuyazi then transferred his love to Qiushui, but denied it to Tong Lao.
But Tong Lao had her own guess. She knew that she and Wuyazi had no chance to be together because of her short stature. She did not hate Wuyazi, but only Li Qiushui.
Feng Yi smiled, changed the subject, and said: "The circulation of qi and blood in the human body has a certain order. Your rejuvenation goes against the qi and blood of the human body, just like the reversal of the sun and the moon. It is naturally dangerous and unpredictable."
Tong Lao nodded: "That's the truth. When I have martial arts skills, Li Qiushui dare not attack me, but in the next ninety days, she will definitely try every possible means to deal with me.
If you go back to Lingjiu Palace, grandma can't follow you everywhere, otherwise it will definitely give Li Qiushui an opportunity to take advantage of you.
So, Feng Yi, if you really want to save me, take me to a place where few people go and let me practice martial arts as a guardian."
After Tong Lao finished speaking, Feng Yi didn't say anything.
Tong Lao said unhappily, "Boy, what are you doing standing there?"
Feng Yi shook his head and said, "Tong Lao, as long as I am still alive, I will definitely protect you. But if you don't return to Lingjiu Palace, Boss Wu and his men will be desperate and attack Lingjiu Palace. What should we do?"
Tong Lao snorted, "How can this bunch of rabble fight their way to Piao Miao Peak?"
Feng Yi was angry when he heard this and said, "Let's just say whether they can reach Piao Miao Peak or not. But they will definitely fight and I don't know how many people will die. Not to mention the people from the 36 caves and 72 islands, don't you feel bad that countless girls from your Lingjiu Palace have been killed or injured?
Besides, why can't you follow me in Lingjiu Palace?"
Tong Lao frowned and said, "You look smart, but how come you don't know the big picture at the critical moment? Who am I, grandma?
I went back to Lingjiu Palace and followed you around every day. If my servants saw it, what would happen?
Furthermore, once the people of the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands know that the one who pretended to be dumb and was bullied in front of them was the Child-Grandma of Tianshan, how can I still have the face to live as a human being? I have to wait until I recover my power and kill them all to avenge this great humiliation!"
Feng Yi smiled bitterly and said, "You really are doing this for face. I should have thought of this earlier."
Feng Yi is a man who doesn't care much about shame, so sometimes he is not on the same level as those people who value their reputation more than their money when considering the same issue.
Tong Lao glanced at him and smiled slightly, "I know you don't care much about face, otherwise how could Zhuo Bufan survive? And you have a kind heart and can consider my subordinates, which is also good. Wuyazi didn't misjudge you."
Feng Yi smiled and said nothing.
He wanted to see the quadruplets, but was afraid that if he went too late, they would be killed.
After all, just because it was okay in the original plot doesn’t mean it’s okay now.
Because if he flaps his wings like a butterfly, it will cause a hurricane.
But since Tong Lao said so, he couldn't force her to go back. After all, this woman was a tough and scheming person, so he had to stay where he was.
Fortunately, there were people living here before, so there was convenient access to water, and wild rabbits, bamboo partridges, goats, and eagles were all prey, so living was not a problem.
The next day, Tong Lao continued to practice martial arts by sucking blood from living creatures, and her appearance changed day by day. After only six or seven days, she had changed from an eight or nine-year-old girl to a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, but her body shape remained the same, still short.
But Feng Yi was already stunned, because Tong Lao had become more charming, with bright eyes and extraordinary beauty, just like an extremely beautiful young lady.
Feng Yi was more and more surprised, thinking: "No wonder Wuyazi fell in love with her in the first place. Isn't this short beauty like Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju, the only beauties in the world?"
Thinking about it, he sighed again: "If Tong Lao could also sound like a 16 or 17-year-old girl, it would be perfect!"
In the afternoon, after Tong Lao finished her Kung Fu practice, she suddenly felt a burning gaze. Her Kung Fu was now restored to that of a 17-year-old. She immediately sensed something was wrong and stared at him with her starry eyes. If it wasn't Feng Yi, who else could it be? Feng Yi saw that she seemed to be blaming him, so he laughed dryly and turned his head away.
There's no way. Feng Yi can't change his habit of liking to look at beautiful women.
Tong Lao couldn't tell Feng Yi directly, but she was secretly happy. After all, she was 96 years old, and she could still make Feng Yi fall in love with her beauty. This was something to be proud of. She said, "If a Taoist doesn't worry about the future, he will have immediate worries. Those monsters and beasts are nothing to be afraid of. There is no need to worry about the future. The immediate worries are imminent. We have stayed here for too long, and the bitch Li Qiushui will definitely come to find us. Feng Yi, carry me to the top of the peak."
Feng Yi looked around and saw the mountains in the distance towering into the clouds, with snow on the top. Even for a master of Qinggong, it would be difficult to climb up without a few days. He felt lazy and frowned slightly, saying, "What if Li Qiushui comes?"
Tong Lao laughed, her face was full of spring, her cheeks were flushed, and she looked around with a charming look, saying: "I am not looking down on you. Li Qiushui and I have a deep hatred, which cannot be resolved. Your title as the head of the Xiaoyao Sect cannot scare her.
And she has a close relationship with the Western Xia Kingdom and has many informants. If you issue an order and order all the masters of the Western Xia Kingdom's Yipintang to come out and search, you can bring me and this girl with you.
Once the fight starts, you have to follow Wuyazi's last words and not kill Li Qiushui. That bitch's Lingbo Weibu is extremely exquisite. Even if you don't suffer any loss, she will kill me if she catches the opportunity. Even if you kill her afterwards, what's the point?"
Feng Yi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth.
Seeing that most people could not climb up the mountain, he carried Tong Lao on his back and was about to pull Ah Zi up.
Ah Zi waved her hands and pursed her lips and said, "Although I have never seen this Li Qiushui, she and Grandpa Wuyazi can have a daughter, who must be extremely beautiful, and perhaps even more gentle and refined than you.
According to what you said, if she hurt you, why are you so afraid of her? Have you done anything wrong to her?"
Tong Lao suddenly looked fierce and asked in a stern voice, "What did you say?"
Ah Zi shouted, "You must have done something wrong to her, otherwise how could you have the nerve to keep nagging her after she hurt you?" She looked into Tong Lao's eyes without backing down.
Even though Ah Zi knew that Tong Lao was an old lady over 90 years old, she couldn't help feeling jealous when she saw how beautiful she became, and Feng Yi even carried her on his back, and she immediately exploded.
Feng Yi knew that she was used to being unruly, and she had no intention of having anything happen with Tianshan Tonglao, so he never thought that she would be jealous of an old woman. He said, "You will know what happened between them later."
Ah Zi snorted, "Why can't I know now? You just like to carry other women on your back, don't you?"
Feng Yi was stunned after hearing what he heard. Tong Lao also came to his senses and realized that she was jealous of him and was about to laugh.
But I heard a gentle voice saying, "You are a smart girl, but why don't you understand that men are all lustful and fickle?"
