Lu Chun was just bored at first. Seeing that he finally had someone to communicate with, he said a few more words, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually ask him.
He didn't intend to speak at first, but then he thought about it. After all, the person in front of him was "himself", and counting the time, he needed money at that time. If he didn't think of a way, he would be in trouble for some time in the future It will be particularly difficult here.
"Uncle Lu?" Seeing Lu Chun's silence, young Lu Chun asked hurriedly.
"You brat, what are you in a hurry for? Let me think about it!" Lu Chun shouted impatiently, and then hurriedly silenced him for fear of disturbing the old lady's rest.
Lu Chun had his own formula for shouting, but he hadn't used it for many years, so his memory was a little blurry.
Sometimes when I think about it, Lu Chun feels strange that he did not arrange this set of formulas himself, but when he recalls it carefully, he can't remember where he heard it.
After muttering a few words in a low voice, Lu Chun cleared his throat, and then lowered his voice: "My dear nephew, you must listen carefully, I will only say it once!"
After hearing this, young Lu Chun was about to get a pen and paper, but Lu Chun slapped his hand: "Just listen, you don't want to leave evidence and be discovered by the old lady, right?"
The latter could only give up after hearing this.
Lu Chun once again confirmed that the old man was still sleeping soundly, and then spoke out those familiar yet unfamiliar words: "Listen carefully, the first sentence is: a cat turns into a tiger, a snake turns into a dragon, when it is touched by nectar, Become a rainbow."
"A cat turns into a tiger...a snake turns into a dragon...when dipped in nectar, it turns into a rainbow..." repeated young Lu Chun.
"The second sentence is: The waves are rising on the four arks, and a dry stick is like a fire."
"On the four arks... uh... Lu Bo, what does the four arks mean?" Young Lu Chun was about to repeat, but suddenly became confused, and poured out the questions at once: "And I, who turned into a tiger and a dragon before, also I don’t quite understand.”
"This..." Lu Chun's face was a little hot. Although he felt that there was nothing wrong with teaching him, from the perspective of onlookers, it seemed that an elder was leading the younger generation, which was really uncomfortable.
"Why don't you know anything?" Lu Chun scolded with a stern face to ease the embarrassment, and then pointed to the side, "Understand for yourself, how come young people don't even have any imagination?"
The young Lu Chun was a little startled. He looked towards the direction Lu Chun was pointing and saw that there was the couch where he usually slept.
He thought about it carefully for a while, and suddenly he remembered a book of erotic pictures that he had snuck in while collecting books outside. The pictures in it made him blush during the day and toss and turn in sleep at night.
After understanding the profound meaning of the Four Ark, the meaning of transforming into a tiger, transforming into a dragon, nectar, and dry firewood also became clear, which made Lu Chun's face so hot that he could almost bleed.
"What Lu Bo means is..."
"Stop it!" Lu Chun waved his hand hurriedly, "As long as you know the deep meaning of it, the only way to survive is to stick to it!"
Although the young Lu Chun was a little confused, he still nodded in understanding.
"Do you remember these two sentences? I will teach you more!" Lu Chun hurriedly changed the subject, "If we want to sell something, relying on the efficacy of the medicine alone is not enough. The most important thing is to learn to exaggerate. !”
"Exaggerated?" Young Lu Chun was puzzled.
"That's right!" Lu Chun stood up with his hands behind his back, full of momentum, "I know the pills you sell best. How many people will you attract in the end if you only write down the effect of a medicine like this?"
Young Lu Chun's head drooped when he heard this. The other party was right. There were only a few people passing by there, and nine out of ten were not interested. And the only one left just looked at it and left. He couldn't sell it all day long. A few.
"So after shouting, you can express yourself and add a few more words! For example... the magic medicine enters the stomach and brings life back to life! It clears away heat and detoxifies, eliminates carbuncles and boils! Eliminate toxins and feel relaxed!" Lu Chunyue said, becoming more and more excited. The more he talks, the smoother he becomes, as if he has returned to the past.
"But..." After hearing this, young Lu Chun suddenly hesitated, "But Uncle Lu, isn't this a lie? I have promised the old lady that I will not deceive and kidnap..."
"It is indeed bad to tell lies..." Lu Chun nodded slightly, and then smiled mysteriously, "But if we are not lying in the first place, doesn't it count as deception?"
"Ah?" Young Lu Chun was confused by Lu Chun's words, "Uncle Lu, I don't understand what you mean."
"Let's go!" Lu Chun waved to young Lu Chun, "Go to the place where you make alchemy."
Pushing open the door, Lu Chun disappeared into the pouring rain...
Although he was suspicious, young Lu Chun hurriedly wrapped several alchemy books in cloth, put them in his arms and followed.
The ground was muddy, but Lu Chun looked like a ghost, leaving no traces wherever he passed, which shocked the panting young Lu Chun who was following behind him.
What surprised the latter was more than that. The abandoned earth kiln where he made alchemy was very hidden, but the man in front of him was familiar with the road and had already entered it one step before him.
I fumbled to light the oil lamp, and there was a hazy light in the earthen kiln. However, the light of the oil lamp was weak and could not illuminate more space.
But even this was enough. Young Lu Chun used the light to find some dry firewood. As long as the fire lit up later, the existence of the oil lamp would not matter.
"Look, this is how Shengxian Pills are made." Because young Lu Chun often came here to make elixirs, the medicinal materials were still fresh. Lu Chun randomly picked some, crushed them in a medicine pestle, and threw them to young Lu Chun. Just a wooden bucket, "Go get some water quickly!"
The rain kept falling, so there was no shortage of water. Young Lu Chun rushed back soon and saw Lu Chun pouring the black powder into a stone pot.
"Add water." Lu Chun pointed to the stone pot and motioned for young Lu Chun to come over.
"Uncle Lu, I have a medicinal cauldron over there..." Young Lu Chun did not rush to add water, but pointed to the iron cauldron with a corner exposed under the numb mask.
Lu Chun heard this and said helplessly: "Your medicinal cauldron is quite new."
"Yes, Uncle Lu. Every time I make an elixir, I will clean it inside and out!" Young Lu Chun said with a proud look on his face.
"Idiot! The so-called alchemy all uses an earthen tripod. If you use a gold or iron weapon, you can also use earth to cover it in the bag! You don't even have this basic common sense, and you are still making bullshit!" Lu Chun heard this and cursed loudly. He was not just cursing in front of him. The young Lu Chun was also scolding his past self.
He remembered that he had finally obtained this iron tripod before and cherished it very much. He specially covered it with soil and scrubbed it clean. Little did he know that it was his excessive care that ruined the elixir recipe in his mind.
"I'm sorry... Uncle Lu, I didn't know there was such a thing." Young Lu Chun felt very upset when he heard this, and tears began to well up in his eyes.
Many years had passed since the incident, and Lu Chun really didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to come back and scold his past self. Unfortunately, it was already too late...
"There's no point in crying! Hurry up and get me some water!" Lu Chun was cruel to his younger self, who said that being soft-hearted would not solve any problems.
"Light the fire." When the stone pot was filled with water, Lu Chun pointed to the firewood under the stone pot and spoke again.
The fire was so strong that within a short time, the inside of the stone pot was boiling, and the water was gurgling.
Young Lu Chun was worried about the fire being put out and the water being boiled dry. He was at a loss for a while.
Lu Chun saw the condition of young Lu Chun in his eyes. Although he was amused in his heart, he kept a straight face until the time was almost up before he finally said: "Stir!"
"Huh? Oh..." Young Lu Chun reacted, hurriedly fetched a stone pestle, and kept stirring in a pile of paste-like things.
"Pour out the contents and knead them into a ball." Lu Chun was not prepared to interfere in this kind of thing, so he let young Lu Chun do it himself.
"Okay!" Young Lu Chun heard the words and without any hesitation, he reached out to hold the stone pot.
"Go, go! Get out! Are you a fool?" Lu Chun was just joking to see how embarrassed the latter looked, but he didn't expect that young Lu Chun completely ignored the high temperature of the stone pot and went straight to it. !
Before young Lu Chun could react, Lu Chun flipped the stone pot upside down on the stone platform with a wave of his hand and threw it aside.
"Plop!" At the same time, the young Lu Chun behind him actually knelt down on the ground, "Lv Chun, please accept me as your disciple!"
"..."
Lu Chun was speechless for a while, secretly thinking that he might be the only one in the world who wanted to worship him as his master.
"I'm used to walking alone, and I've never had the habit of accepting disciples. Don't waste your efforts, kid." After being disturbed by his determination, Lu Chun didn't want to have too much entanglement with his past self, otherwise he would suffer both inside and outside.
"Uncle Lu, don't get me wrong. Lu Chun will not disturb you. The reason why he made this unreasonable request is actually to ask you for a prescription that can keep the old man healthy and long!" Young Lu Chun saw the latter getting angry and no longer dared to hide it. Thoughts in mind.
Recently, he could feel that the old lady's condition was not as good as before, but today the latter's condition suddenly became abnormal, which was most likely a sign of a serious illness.
"You said...it's for the old lady?" Lu Chun frowned slightly, and his thoughts suddenly became a little loose, because what the other party said was not his own thoughts.
When the old man's body was taken advantage of by a man, he almost went astray. He endured the humiliation and burden for many years, and it was only now that he finally solved the problem.
If... he could protect the old lady from the beginning, maybe things would have a different ending.
"For your filial piety, I can help you." After a moment of silence, Lu Chun made a decision.
"Really?" Young Lu Chun's face was filled with ecstasy.
"Don't be too happy first. Listen to what I have to say." Lu Chun shook his head slightly, "But you have to know that birth, old age, illness and death are determined by God. If we go against the will of God and force the old lady to cheer up, we will only do it for the old man. Grandpa will bring you deeper pain, are you really willing to do this?"
"I..." Young Lu Chun looked hesitant, "But, I really can't bear to see the old lady go on like this..."
"So, the most important thing now is to cherish the present and cherish every moment of living with the old lady. This is the best way to repay him." Lu Chun suppressed the depression in his heart and continued: "If you really want to change everything , you must work harder to keep your heart! Remember, I will wait for you at the Yuhu Sect!"
"Jade Pot Sect? Really?" Upon hearing these three words, young Lu Chun looked ecstatic.
"It's a deal." Lu Chun's face smiled again.
Although he doesn't remember anything, he may have been the one who sowed the seeds of the Jade Pot Sect in his heart.
"Thank you, Uncle Lu! Thank you, Uncle Lu!" After receiving the hope, young Lu Chun kowtowed repeatedly.
"There's no need to say thank you. If you don't knead it, the newly baked mud will turn into a puddle of mud!"
"Ah!" Young Lu Chun exclaimed and hurried to the stone platform.
Because of the cold weather, most of the medicinal mud is almost cool. Under the rescue of young Lu Chun, he finally got out two pills.
"Senior, your elixir." Young Lu Chun carefully handed these two Shengxian Pills to Lu Chun.
"It's not bad." Lu Chun nodded, then waved his hand, "Just think of this as a gift from me! After all, whether you will be deceived or abducted in the future depends entirely on it!"
As he spoke, Lu Chun casually threw a cloth bag from his arms: "There are some ordinary elixirs in here. Free up the bottle and put the Shengxian Pills in it! Remember, be sure to clean the bottle to prevent the medicine from taking effect. Doped!”
"Thank you, Uncle Lu! Thank you, Uncle Lu!" Young Lu Chun has said the same words many times, but he doesn't want it to be too much anyway, and he even hopes to have the opportunity to say it a few more times.
Opening the cloth bag, young Lu Chun carefully took out the contents and found that what was inside turned out to be an exquisitely carved jade vase!
