MTL - As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills-Chapter 119 meet happy, leave
Chapter 119 Meet happy, parting
Jiang Ming looked at the figure who was busy in the medicine hall, and he could vaguely see the cheerfulness of that year.
It's just over 20 years later, the old man has gone through a lot of vicissitudes, his face is still handsome, but there are more crow's feet around his eyes.
Years, the greatest and cruelest existence...
Jiang Ming looked at the figure leisurely, and walked away slowly.
A moment later, he reappeared outside the medicine hall again, but this time, he showed his true face, only slightly aged.
Jiang Ming walked in slowly, and the waiter at the side was still greeting him warmly, until the figure in the medicine hall turned around and saw Jiang Ming.
The sunlight outside the window shone on the two of them, seeming to coat them with a layer of golden light...
Well, it's all an illusion, it's just two old guys who are over half a century old, and the people next to them can't help but glance up and down when they pass by, as if they are disgusted by blocking the way...
Jiang Ming looked at the surprised man in front of him, and grinned: "Little girl, long time no see!"
"You..." Zhou Wenxiu stared at Jiang Ming in shock: "Where have you been for the past few decades? I thought you died outside..."
While talking, Zhou Wenxiu's eyes were a little red, and she jumped up regardless, threw herself on Jiang Ming and gave him a big hug.
Around, the guys in the pharmacy were shocked. Although their boss was careless, he had never seen such a behavior towards anyone.
Jiang Ming didn't bother to explain, he lifted Zhou Wenxiu off his body and walked to the backyard together.
"I haven't seen you for decades, and the little girl can be alone!" Jiang Ming sat on the stone bench, looked at the medicine hall which occupied a large area, and smiled.
Now Dayun City is at the foot of the Son of Heaven. It is really beyond the reach of ordinary people to get such a large area.
"Hmph, my past twenty years have not been in vain. I joined the Feiyun Army. I started as a disliked little female doctor and became the most outstanding doctor in the army. The position is not low. This is Fang Hou. The land granted to me by the Lord himself..."
Zhou Wenxiu hugged Jiang Ming's arm, and she seemed to become that cheerful girl again in front of Jiang Ming, proudly telling her achievements, and talking about her experiences over the years...
Jiang Ming listened quietly, until Zhou Wenxiu's mouth was dry and the embarrassment stopped, then he rubbed her head and gave her thumbs up sincerely:
"It's really amazing!"
This kind of experience, in the previous world, is definitely a real heroine, and it is not the kind where a man will hug her when she falls...
Jiang Ming caught a glimpse of the faintly visible calluses on her weather-beaten hands: "Twenty years, it must have been difficult."
Zhou Wenxiu's eyes turned red again, but she suppressed the tears in her eyes, and said stubbornly: "I am the most powerful Zhou Wenxiu, no difficulty can stop me!"
Jiang Ming laughed.
"But sometimes, smelling the smell of blood, lying on those wilderness grounds, looking at the stars in the sky, I always think of Ping'an County, Miss Qing, Grandpa, Sister Qingqing and Tian An'an, no...I don't want Tian An'an That little devil..."
Zhou Wenxiu murmured, and began to ramble again, and then talked about what he had seen and heard over the years, and the new friends he knew...
Jiang Ming listened carefully, showing a gentle smile. It could be seen that although Zhou Wenxiu's past twenty years had not been easy, she seemed to be very happy.
Sure enough, it was the Zhou Wenxiu he knew, who was outstanding everywhere...
"By the way, Master Fang often mentions you..." Zhou Wenxiu suddenly said, "Do you want to go find him?"
Jiang Ming was stunned, and recalled in his mind that gentle young man who only read the books of sages and sages, but then he had no choice but to learn martial arts, and finally followed Liehuzhuang to join the Feiyun Army by mistake. Twenty years later... he became Marquis Wu of Cloud Kingdom.
Wen Chancellor Wei Yan, Wuhou Fanglie...the two pillars of Yunguo, although they are both under fifty years old, have made great military exploits and are the right arm of the emperor!
"I don't know if this kid has realized his dream in the current situation..."
…
Three days later, Wuhou Mansion.
"Jiang Ming!"
The moment Fang Lie saw Jiang Ming, he immediately rushed up and gave him a bear hug.
Jiang Ming looked around, Peng Lu, Wang Dong... are old friends from Liehu Village back then, and they gathered together today.
Guan Feng is also there, and now he is a general under Fang Lie's command, but at today's gathering, who would dare to let him be in the lower position.
"Off the headhunter, long time no see!"
Jiang Ming and Guan Feng looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything.
This night, everyone was drunk and yelling about the funny things that happened in Liehu Manor, such as when Master Fang was hunting a tiger for the first time, he almost chopped the tiger into minced meat...
But the past was the past, but no one dared to talk about the embarrassment of Master Fang, and no one dared to hook up with Fang Lie when drinking.
Late at night, Jiang Ming got away from the crowd who were still drinking together, and walked to Fang Lie. He was the only one here, sipping strong wine.
"It's not cold up there, isn't it?"
Jiang Ming glanced at this old friend, the youthful gentleness of the past disappeared, replaced by a chill and sternness, only when occasionally laughing with old friends, there was a trace of gentleness.
"How is it, have the ideals of today been realized?"
Fang Lie was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then he took a big gulp of wine silently, and sighed softly: "Where can I see any ideals?"
"Thinking back now, I realize...from the moment I joined the Feiyun Army, I was just a wheel pushed forward by history. I couldn't see the way forward, and I didn't know Going where to roll, I don't know whether the front is a plain or a cliff, whether it will fly into the sky or fall to pieces..."
"Every decision I make will affect the fate of countless people. When someone gets better, someone must get worse, but they are all the meritorious service of Feiyun Army..."
"So now I seem to be in a high position, but in fact I can't decide anything..."
Fang Lie couldn't continue, and took another sip of wine.
"That's why ideals are difficult. If we can roll and live, that's pretty good!" Jiang Ming smiled.
"By the way... Wei Yan has been inquiring about you intentionally or unconsciously!" Fang Lie said suddenly when the night wind blew, and Fang Lie seemed to wake up a little bit.
When Wei Yan was mentioned, Fang Lie's eyes were also a little cold. Obviously, the relationship between the two pillars of the country was not as pleasant as the outside world imagined.
When Ningzhou Chengguan Peak was besieged, Fang Lie almost killed Wei Yan's door...
"Ask about me?" Jiang Ming was a little stunned, thinking of the young man who had no plans to see in Yunmeng Mountain back then.
"It should be a little suspicious..."
Jiang Ming whispered in his heart, which is not surprising.
After all, he is not a god. Even with the Disguise Technique, he cannot completely hide his tracks. If someone pays attention, they can find some clues.
The most obvious deed is that martial arts master Zhang Shan rushed to Ningzhou City, rescued Guan Feng from a desperate situation, and climbed to the realm of the master. He was obviously a person who had a close relationship with Guan Feng.
When the Feiyun Army was still called Feiyun Fort, they had been in Dayun Mansion all year round. Naturally, they had already heard the name of Zhang Mountain. After investigating the scope of activities of this mountain, Dayun City and Pingan Town were the most active...
Back then, there were not many warriors who came out of Pingan Town...Jiang Ming was one of them, and he went to Liehuzhuang to learn martial arts, so it was reasonable to rescue Guan Feng.
"However, with these fragmentary clues, he can guess that there is something on my head... But I don't know what he is looking for, whether it is simply to win over a grandmaster, or has some other purpose..."
"But it doesn't matter, now with my strength, even if Zhang Shan's identity is exposed, it won't have any effect on me..."
With this in mind, Jiang Ming smiled: "You don't need to worry about this matter, if he can find me, then he will come."
Fang Lie frowned, hesitated for a long time before asking hesitantly: "Is that mountain... related to you?"
Jiang Ming laughed: "You already have the answer in your heart, do you need to ask more?"
As soon as these words came out, Fang Lie looked at Jiang Ming in shock even though he had already guessed.
"Compared to you, what is my Marquis Wu?" Fang Lie shook his head and sighed.
Jiang Ming looked at him with a smile: "Why, do you have a new ideal?"
Fang Lie looked up to the sky and looked at the stars in the sky: "Of course there are. No matter what your status or age, no one can live without ideals. It's a pity that I am completely trapped and can no longer pursue those things..."
The starlight was reflected in his eyes, and it looked a little crystal clear... A little girl carved in pink and jade came running from a distance, calling on Grandpa to drink less, which caused many men in Liehuzhuang to burst into laughter.
Fang Lie lowered his head, the stars in his eyes disappeared, a kind smile appeared on his face, and he hugged the little girl.
"this is mine…"
Fang Lie looked back, only to find that the old friend who was drinking by his side just now had disappeared.
Fang Lie looked up subconsciously, and saw above a certain attic in the distance, a figure seemed to be nodding to him, turned around and jumped, then disappeared into the moonlight...
"Ideal..."
Fang Lie waved his hand towards the invisible figure, his temple hair was beginning to show gray...
…
Three days later, Jiang Ming and Zhou Wenxiu returned to Ping'an County to meet the aging A Fei, Li Qingqing and others.
The old people in Ping'an County, not even warriors, aged far faster than Zhou Wenxiu and Fang Lie. Today's A Fei even looks a bit like the old Jiangtou back then, with gray hair at the temples and out of shape...
"When I come back, I'm afraid it's true that things are different!"
In the twilight of the morning, Jiang Ming took one last look at the words "Xiu Ming Medicine Hall", smiled and turned to leave...
…
Half a month later!
On a commercial road, a caravan is slowly moving forward. This is a newly opened commercial road between Yunguo and Jingguo in the south, and it has been quite lively in recent years.
Among the caravan, in the only carriage, Jiang Ming disguised himself as a slightly fat old man, like a wealthy businessman, sitting beside the old god, with a lot of books beside him, all of which recorded his relationship with Jing Guoxiu. Intelligence information related to the dead body of the victim.
"It should really be a cultivator, but after death, the body was chopped up by several martial arts masters... It shows that the body of a cultivator does not seem to be much stronger than a warrior."
Jiang Ming nodded: "As I guessed, even immortals have a limited lifespan. They focus more on practicing Qi and building a foundation, rather than spending time and energy on the physical body... This is understandable, after all For ordinary immortal cultivators, the journey of Qi training is the real path to immortality."
"Before, I thought about stealing a piece of corpse for research... But now I have a new goal!"
Jiang Ming stared at the book in his hand, which recorded a strange person who suddenly appeared on a riverside wharf several hundred miles away from the small mountain village where the corpse appeared in recent years.
He has a thin body, and his blood is not strong, but his strength is surprisingly great. He can carry several bags of food and earn money by working at the docks, but he is very low-key on weekdays, and hardly contacts with people...
"The time of appearance also coincides with the time when the corpse appeared, but it was more than half a month later..."
Jiang Ming suspected back then that the appearance of that corpse was caused by the struggle of immortal cultivators in this world.
Later, the unknown forces surveyed the mountain forest, and there were indeed traces of fighting and destruction, indicating that besides the dead body, another immortal cultivator had escaped...
"I'm 80% sure that that strange person is another immortal cultivator..."
Jiang Ming pondered, as for the strange person showing many flaws, such as extraordinary strength, sudden appearance, coincidental timing, etc., Jiang Ming was not surprised.
In the eyes of ordinary people, immortals are omnipotent, but those cultivators are also trained by ordinary people. After working hard all day long, their experience in walking the rivers and lakes may not be as good as ordinary warriors...
"Perhaps, carrying a big bag in a low-key manner is already a hidden identity for that immortal cultivator!"
Jiang Ming smiled, looking forward to this trip even more...
After another half a month, the wobbling caravan finally arrived at its destination.
Jingguo, Heyuan Prefecture.
This is a prefectural city built on the verge of a canal, and it prospered because of it.
"My lord, farewell!"
The real leader of the caravan secretly bowed to Jiang Ming and led the team away.
The tentacles of the unknown person have already penetrated into every corner of Heyuan Mansion. The leader does not know who this lord is, but only knows that it is a high-level existence that he cannot touch...
Jiang Ming stood on a teahouse in the city, looking at the canal in the distance and the busy scene faintly visible by the river.
"There's no need to rush to get in touch first, let's settle down here first..."
Jiang Ming said to himself, he still doesn't know the origin of the other party, if he rashly reveals his identity as a cultivator, it will inevitably arouse vigilance and vigilance, and it will be difficult to get any effective information.
"At the very least, I have to practice the first sealing formula of the Forbidden Spirit Seal first, which can seal my whole body of spiritual energy, and then contact him..."
Jiang Ming's eyes are calm. There are still decades before the birth of the Medicine King. He can cultivate slowly and make arrangements slowly... The most important thing is time.
In the next few days, he bought some houses and shops with gold and silver, and hid himself under layer after layer of identities. With the help of members of the unknown, he created a perfect fake identity...
