"So, how old was Mude when you last saw him?"
Xin Wu asked curiously.
"Well! I'm not very sure. Anyway, I was already a hundred years old at the time, and he looked to be thirty or forty years old! Anyway, he was younger than me, enough to be my son, haha! He didn't want to Tell me, I never ask questions."
The old man answered while sorting away the bottles and plates on the stall.
"So, 'Yangguan' and 'Dumu', how old are they?"
Xinwu asked.
"About 20 years old, anyway, he looks younger than 'Mude', and he doesn't seem so smart, haha! However, Yang Guan looks a bit naive and silly, and Du Mu is relatively smarter. , There are many evil ideas."
The old man stroked his beard, stared at the sky, and recalled hard.
"Then, has 'Wuchu' ever said anything about his friend 'Taoist', what he looks like? What kind of person is he?"
Xin Wu asked deliberately. He wanted to know what image he had in Wang Li's mouth.
"Ah! He said that 'Taoist'! He is so smart that he can see through everything at a glance, and he always has a lot of philosophy. It makes him feel like an idiot. However, he is just a 'theorist', If you just talk without practicing, even if you have to practice 'practice' as a last resort, you will often have high ambitions but low ambitions, causing a lot of troubles. You will also love to quibble, refuse to admit your mistakes, and even try to make things right. In the end, it's all other people's fault. No, he’s right! He’s just a ‘Chang Youli’. He has to keep ‘cleaning up the mess’ for this ‘Taoist’, haha, it’s not a good job to ‘wipe the butt’!”
The old man did not exaggerate. He almost completely recounted Wang Li's very objective evaluation of Xinwu's actions after he became the "Tao Master".
"So this guy misses me so much! Huh, look, I rescued him this time and I want to confront him! Let him see if I can only talk but not do anything!"
After Xin Wu had a small drum in his heart, he turned to the old man and said:
"Uncle, whether you believe it or not, that child is your godson 'Muchu'. Now he is in trouble again and is very dangerous. Only you can help save him! Please go up the mountain with me!"
"Okay! Since you said it's him, then naturally I can't just make money. Close the stall! Let's go!"
The old man finished tidying up the stall, followed Xin Wu step by step, and tried his best to walk up the mountain.
Halfway through, he met Muyi who was waiting to meet him in the middle of the road.
"You found it?!"
Muyi was very happy when she saw Xin Wu helping an old man up, and hurriedly came down to greet him.
"Uncle, it's you! Great!"
"Girl! I just found out too, okay! I'll go with you."
The two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, helped the uncle to walk up the mountain, much faster.
Finally, we arrived at the cable car dock at the top of the mountain. The wind blowing up from below the cliff blew the old man’s beard and stuck it to his face.
"Uncle, look! There, Mude is inside, crawling forward!"
Xinwu pointed to the optical cable that was stretching into the distance and said anxiously to the old man.
"Ah! I see it, but I don't know how to save him? I can't fly..."
As soon as the old man said "fly", Muyi immediately said: "I have a way for you to fly over."
Mu Yi pulled out the magical hairpin from her head, drew it in the air, and a spaceship in the shape of a super auspicious cloud appeared in front of the old man.
"Well, uncle, these three things of 'time, space, and emotion' are the things that trap 'Wu Chu'. If you go to persuade him, just say what you said to me, 'Children, go and reconcile with yesterday.' Just like we used to do'. Also, bring this packet of 'Yun Pian Cake' to him personally!"
Xin Wu handed over the package of "Yun Pian Cake".
The old man got on the Xiangyun boat, waved to the two of them, and said, "Fly! I'll go!"
Muyi waved her hairpin at the auspicious cloud spaceship again, and saw the "auspicious cloud" carrying the god-like old man flying towards the direction where the optical cable extended.
Xiangyun's speed was extraordinary, and he quickly caught up with the core of the brightest ring hole in the infinitely growing optical cable, where Wuchu was still crawling forward step by step.
The old man flew to the edge of the cable, descended, took out the cloud cake, and shouted to Wu De who was rushing forward:
"Child, come and eat some cakes!"
Muchu turned his head and looked over, but his limbs were still crawling forward, seemingly out of control.
"My child, let's make peace with yesterday, just like we did before!"
The old man remembered this sentence from Xin Wujiao and quickly added it.
As soon as the word "reconciliation" came out, Wu Chu's constantly moving hands and feet stopped. He stood up, stretched out his hand to take the cloud cake handed over by the old man, put it into his mouth, and ate it with a sweet look on his face.
"With infinitely future-proof methods
Replace the river of stars in the body
with infinitely future-proof methods
Love flocks of birds that gather and disperse.”
Suddenly, this song floated over, and after hearing the lyrics of Wu De, with half a piece of "cloud cake" still in his mouth, his body suddenly grew and burst the infinitely extending cable, and The broken cables turned into a flock of white-feathered birds, flying around the Xiangyun spacecraft driven by the old man, gathering and dispersing.
Muchu's body became bigger and bigger, so big that he could hold the auspicious cloud boat that Wang Dial was riding on gently in the palm of his hand!
The old man said to Wuchu: "Child, look at me, I am your father Wang Dial! Go back! Your friends are here too, and they asked me to rescue you!"
Wu Chu looked at the starting point - the cable car pier, suddenly raised the Xiangyun Ship very high, and then threw it back hard. The flock of birds also flew under the Cloud Ship, and they flew back together.
I just heard him reply:
"Time cannot be turned back!"
"child!---"
Together with the man and the cloud, Wang Dial and his auspicious cloud mount were led by the flock of birds and returned to the dock. As soon as the old man landed, the auspicious cloud spacecraft disappeared, leaving only the bag that fell on the ground. After eating the cloud cake, a group of white birds flew over and snatched it up.
"He refuses to come back!"
The old man lowered his head in frustration and said.
"No, you have rescued him! Didn't you? Look!"
Xinwu pointed into the distance and said with a smile.
The old man looked back and saw that although the optical cable was still extending forward, it did not come out. Instead, it had flown out of its boundary. It was flying up and down on the optical cable, busy, as if repairing the optical cable.
More importantly, he has grown from a little boy into the person Wang Dio saw when he saw him, with a resolute, confident and busy face.
