Chapter 558: The Clothes of Old Man Ku Rong
"Little guy, you're here."
Old Man Ku Rong raised his head and looked at me with his cloudy eyes. He smiled sinisterly and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
My heart skipped a beat when I heard that: "Did you know I would come?"
"Haha, of course I know." Old man Ku Rong took a deep breath, smiled coldly and continued: "You are from the same lineage as the Yin people, you are not good people. I have the Bodhi in my body, I don't believe you are not tempted, but I didn't expect you to come so late. If it were your master, I'm afraid he would come to me that night."
After hearing his words, I frowned, then shook my head and said, "Senior, you misunderstood, I came this time just... to help you."
"Haha, help me?" Old man Ku Rong looked at me with a half-smile and said, "I injured your future father-in-law and even made the golden silkworm in his body fall into a dozing state. Don't you hate me? According to normal people's thinking, shouldn't you kill me to avenge your father-in-law?"
Old man Ku Rong was right.
According to normal people's thinking, I should do so.
However, old man Ku Rong and my master are close friends, and he has also helped me indirectly. If I really kill him now, then I will indeed help Feng Changhe to avenge.
But I can't do this because it is not in line with the ethics of the martial arts world.
I took a deep breath and said, "That's your personal grudge. I can't care about it, and I don't want to care about it. Besides, after the previous battle, I think the obsession in your heart has been dispelled."
The reason why old man Ku Rong wanted to kill Feng Changhe was not because they had a grudge against each other, but because old man Ku Rong wanted to get Feng Changhe's skull to refine the 13th lesson of the rosary.
And Feng Changhe injured old man Ku Rong in order to protect himself, which was both reasonable and reasonable.
So I couldn't help either side, because no matter which side I helped, I would be wrong.
At this time, I heard the old man Ku Rong chuckle, and then said: "I want to not give up this obsession, but now, I have no choice but to give it up."
He took a deep breath, and then continued with a dim look: "I have been immersed in the way of insects all my life. I think I know more about insects and insect poison than anyone else, but I still underestimated Feng Changhe and the golden silkworm." After saying this
, the old man Ku Rong began to cough violently, and while coughing, black sticky blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. After seeing
this scene, I couldn't help shaking my head, because I knew that the old man Ku Rong was no longer saved.
The insect poison has already invaded his heart, lungs, and bone marrow. Even his internal organs have probably been eaten away by the insects, leaving holes all over them. The insects have even built nests in his internal organs. Now, even if a Daluo Jinxian were to come down to earth, it would be difficult to save him!
I pondered for a while, then asked: "Senior, your body..."
"Haha, I'm a dying man." Old man Ku Rong took a deep breath, then raised his head, looked at me dimly, and asked: "Is that shameless Zhang Du'e still alive?"
I shook my head: "No."
"Not alive?" Old man Ku Rong was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said: "Your master still owes me a favor. Now I'm a dying man. I'm afraid he can't repay this favor, but..."
At this point he looked at me, his eyes dim and said: "Although your master is gone, as Zhang Du'e's disciple, it is only natural for you to help your master repay his debts. Why don't you repay this favor?"
I knew that the favor that old man Ku Rong was talking about was the incident eighteen years ago when he lent the Formless Bodhi to my master.
Actually, the reason why my master borrowed the formless bodhi was for me, so it is only natural for me to repay this favor.
However, this old man is going to die, so why should I repay him?
Seeing that I didn't say anything, the old man smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. I just want to ask you to do me a favor."
"Help him do a favor?" I frowned, but still said, "Senior, as long as it is not against morality, just ask."
"Haha, don't worry, I will never go against the code of conduct." After he finished speaking, he lowered his head to look at the rosary in his hand, then smiled bitterly and said, "When I was thirty years old, I accidentally entered an ancient tomb. It was a life-and-death experience in the ancient tomb. Not only was I poisoned by a snake, but I also lost my sense of taste. Later, I got this rosary by accident. Although the snake poison was cured, my sense of taste never recovered. Now, I am over eighty years old and am a centenarian who is about to die. My only long-cherished wish in life is to restore my sense of taste, and then eat big chunks of meat and drink big gulps of wine..."
"Senior, this... I'm afraid I can't do it!" I said with some embarrassment, and he just sighed: "I know you can't do it, and this is not what I asked you to do. I have been immersed in the way of insects for more than 70 years. Although my skills are not superb, I can be regarded as a half-master in the way of insects. It's a pity that I have no children in my life, and even because of my temperament, I don't even have a disciple. Now, my life is coming to an end. I don't ask to pass on everything I have learned in my life to others, but I just want to find a suitable owner for this rosary in my hand."
My heart skipped a beat when I heard it. I
thought that old man Ku Rong wanted me to help him find a suitable candidate to inherit his mantle!
Old man Ku Rong said that he was a half-master, but what he said was a bit too humble.
With his ability, he is a great master in the way of the snake. If such a person wants to accept a disciple, as long as Fang Goufeng spreads the word, it will probably cause a huge sensation in the Miao area.
The most important thing is that if you become the disciple of the old man Ku Rong, you can not only learn all the skills of the old man Ku Rong, but also inherit the formless bodhi. I believe that just this point is enough for everyone to break their heads and scratch their brains.
I lowered my head and thought about it, and then asked: "Senior, I can help you with this matter, but I don’t know how long your body can hold on?"
"Three days at most, one day at least."
After hearing what the old man Ku Rong said, my heart skipped a beat.
I knew he was seriously injured, but I didn’t expect that he really didn’t have much time left.
I showed a look of embarrassment: "Senior, can you... hold on for a few more days? Time is a bit tight. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a suitable successor to inherit your legacy in such a short time."
After hearing what I said, the extremely weak old man Ku Rong suddenly ran away and roared at me with an angry face: "Do you think I am Prince Yan? You can die whenever you want? Damn you, you just do what I tell you to do, why are you talking so much nonsense, Zhang Du'e, why did you accept such a sissy disciple like you?"
"..."
I twitched my lips when I heard that. I thought to myself, this old guy... doesn't look like he's going to die?
He looked like he was dying just now, how come he's so energetic when he starts scolding people?
"But, senior, how can I find you a cheap disciple in such a short time? Aren't you...making things difficult for me?" I said speechlessly, but then I rolled my eyes and asked tentatively: "Senior, how about this...you write down everything you have learned in your life and give me the Wuxiang Bodhi together. When I meet the right person in the future, I will accept a disciple for you. What do you think?"
After hearing what I said, the old man Ku Rong was stunned, but then he grinned and sneered, saying: "You want to fool me? When I was fooling people in the world, you were still an egg, get lost."
I laughed flatteringly and said, "Senior, you misunderstood, how dare I do that."
"Bullshit, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Your fiancée has a physique that is rarely seen in a century. She's young, but she's as accomplished as her father Feng Changhe in the way of the Dragon. If she can get the Formless Bodhi, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. By then, the martial arts world in Miaojiang will probably have to change its surname to Feng."
Old man Ku Rong was so angry that he was panting. After he finished speaking, he panted violently for a while, and then said, "Go and find me someone who has a grudge against the Feng family, preferably a mortal enemy. Although I I don’t have any hatred towards the Feng Family, but after all, I died at the hands of the two brothers of the Feng Family this time. In the future, my disciples, even if they don’t avenge me, must at least hate the dead Feng Family members.”
I couldn’t help but twitch my lips when I heard that, and then I cursed in my heart: “Damn it, the Feng Family is my wife’s family, is it really okay for this old thing to say that in front of me? Doesn’t he need to consider my feelings?”
Seeing that I was stunned and silent, old man Ku Rong glanced at me and asked, “Why, are you unhappy when I said that?”
“What do you think?” I said helplessly.
"Heh, I thought that you were just like your shameless master, a heartless and ungrateful person who could take advantage of anyone. It seems that you still have some conscience. However, your master's temperament is the mainstream of you, and the reason your master is like this is because your master's master taught him. It's strange, you grew up with your master since you were a child, and you should become like your master by ostensibly learning from him."
I laughed when I heard this, thinking that I had never seen my master's true face since I was a child. This old guy pretended to be more sanctimonious in front of me than anyone else. Who would have thought that he had caused so much trouble outside, and his temperament was completely different from what I knew!
"Ahem, senior, I'll go find it for you now, but don't blame me if I can't find it." After I said that, I was ready to go out, but just as I was about to turn around, I suddenly heard a scream coming from the darkness behind me.
After hearing this scream, I was stunned for a moment, because I was very familiar with this voice.
I turned around suddenly, looked at the darkness in front of me and murmured: "Why is she here?"
