Cao An was silent, but the old man became interested and said, "Let me take you up. Even though I am holding a bamboo stick and am old, I am more stable when going up and down than some of them. Let's go, it's just right." I am very familiar with the concept of agelessness, and I can introduce it to you outsiders."
"No need, father-in-law, we can do it by ourselves. We just need to go up this mountain road, right?"
"That's true, but I just happen to be wandering around to eat after dinner. Let's go, let's go, you're welcome!" The old man was in a good mood, because he suddenly found that this powerful martial artist was a bit interesting, and he was so reserved and polite when dealing with others. You can't pretend to be nervous, it doesn't look like a powerful martial artist at all.
He is more like a problem child who doesn't dare to talk to others. He is not interested in problem children, and he is not very interested in powerful martial arts, but the combination of the two is very interesting to him.
A question came to mind, how did a person with such a temperament survive to this day? He also developed a powerful body of strength. He was born with a sixth sense for powerful creatures, and this sense has never been wrong.
It's a pity that I can't practice it. Otherwise, relying on this instinctive intuition, I should have a smooth journey in the world.
What he doesn't know is that Cao An's restraint and nervousness are directed at the kind of people who can't kill me even if I give you a chance.
"What do you call the two martial arts masters?"
The village elder Li Fugui, who was very familiar with him, couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. He took the initiative to approach Cao An and started chatting. Seeing that Cao An didn't answer, he was not discouraged at all. He faced the steep stone steps step by step. He walked out, his steps steady, and he didn't look like an old man at all. He asked, "Master, guess how old I am."
Lifespan is now the most proud thing for Li Fugui. Whenever outsiders come to the village, he will talk about it with others when he is happy. However, outsiders who only look at appearance often guess wrong. At this time, Li Fugui would let out two hearty laughs, then raise his head and stroke his beard, and say: I have actually...
This time, Cao An spoke: "One hundred and seventy-nine years and eight months."
Li Fugui, who was brewing emotions, was suddenly shocked. He felt as if his spell had been interrupted. He looked at Cao An in surprise, then looked at the village behind him, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that you have already followed the villagers." I have talked with the other juniors in the middle, and they must have told you, right?"
"No, it's your bone age that tells me. For a martial artist with a slightly higher level, the bone age of an ordinary person can be known by just sensing it. My husband, the mountain is steep, so walk carefully and be careful where you step."
"So that's it. If I had known that martial arts had so many benefits, I shouldn't have stayed in the village. I should have been like the young people of my generation in other villages and ventured outside. Maybe , you can also find your own way." Li Fugui sighed and said, but there didn't seem to be much regret between his eyebrows.
It seemed that the few of his peers who went out to venture out did not succeed. It was very likely that all those he knew were dead.
"But who can say for sure about this kind of thing that didn't happen? It's possible that I died on the road to the world a long time ago. Now that I have a family full of children and grandchildren, and my body and bones are still strong even though I'm old, I'm content with that." As soon as Li Fugui changed the subject, Cao An knew that he had not really regretted it.
"I believe you have discovered when you enter the village. People in our village live longer than people outside. But as long as the people in our village go out, they will become like people in other places. Just the two of us in the county The name of the city was later changed because of the name of our village."
Cao An glanced at him and quickened his pace.
"Being young means being in good health. Oh, I forgot, the young master is a warrior, and his body is much stronger than mine. You may not know that in the past, someone knew about the situation in our village and moved many people here, but It was only after they moved in that they discovered that living in the village was not going to make them live longer."
Cao An also thought about this problem. If the village can really make people live longer, how many people in the entire Shanggong Road will not believe that the rich and powerful ordinary people are not jealous. He did not expect that there is such a reason.
Li Fugui is very talkative, and people in the village like to talk about these things. As long as outsiders ask, he will tell you everything about these things.
"Hey, later they slowly discovered that a baby must be born in our village to be blessed by the village and have a long life, and it cannot leave the village for a long time. Some high-ranking officials and scholars in the city did the math and said that it is The accumulated time away from the village cannot exceed five years in a lifetime. Once it exceeds five years, you will no longer be protected by the village."
"You said God is not miraculous?"
Cao An nodded, "Magical."
Li Fugui was having fun chatting, mainly because Cao An's aura was so natural and peaceful that he subconsciously forgot that Cao An was a martial artist and only regarded him as an ordinary young junior.
"You don't like to talk much. That's not good. As a human being, you should talk more and make more friends." After hearing this, the corners of Chang Qing's mouth twitched, suppressing the smile in his heart.
"I heard our ancestors tell us that later some martial arts masters thought that there might be some treasure below our village. Many people came and turned the village upside down. It is said that someone with some kind of supernatural power came. The great monk found nothing in the end.”
"Are you very strong in the realm of supernatural powers? Later generations."
"Very strong!"
"Stronger than you?"
"That's much better than me."
"Oh, it's because your sentence is a little longer than before." Li Fugui looked at Cao An, shook his head, and sighed secretly, not knowing what he was sighing about.
"When I get older, I just want to find someone to talk to. The younger people in the village have long been deaf to these things. They don't want to listen. I also know it, so I will tell you strangers this. When it comes to talking, both people must be interested, so that it can be interesting." Li Fugui's tone obviously lost the excitement before.
Cao An nodded, "That's right."
"The sky is almost dark, Housheng, you two go up. Keep going up the stone steps. At the end you can see the Temple of Immortality. The owner of the temple is kind-hearted. In the two main halls in front, except for the place where incense is offered, there are other They are all guest rooms, and people passing by, no matter what they do, can choose an empty room to stay there if they want to take a rest after dark."
"We have heavy frost here at night and it's a bit colder, so I'll go back first."
Cao An stopped and looked at Li Fugui, "Old man, walk slowly! Watch your step."
