Chapter 5 Old Man Xu

The whistling pool is named after the whistling sound that comes from the cave from time to time. Although it is a whistling pool, there is not a single piece of ore inside. At the end of the whistling cave, there is a bottomless cold pool. The water of the cold pool is biting cold. This pool of cool water is wrapped in thin mist. As soon as your hand touches it, you feel the chill that penetrates your bone marrow. This coldness pierces into your fingertips like a needle, making people tremble.

The sky above the cold pond is pitch black, but a soft light emits from the bottom. The shimmering is the ore of the whistling pool - Hanshi. After research, people found that cold stones are miraculously effective for scalding. If specially made medicines can still maintain the moisture of the skin, they are very popular among some rich ladies. Due to the special function of cold stone, it has become one of the few commodities that can be exported to the Dongyang town. Shortly after the Dongyang town entered the east and the weather was still warm, this cold stone was the source of income for many residents of Dongyang towns. Some rich children even came to the cold pond to catch cold stones in order to pursue stimulation.

Because of the economic status of the Hantan, Dongyang Town specially sent people to guard the Wusha Cave. Old Man Xu has been ordered to guard the Wusha Cave for more than 40 years. The old man was dressed in a single dress and showed no sign of cold. After all, although Old Man Xu was old, he was a third-level soul cultivator. His soul power overflowed to form a shield to withstand the severe cold.

The doorman yawned boredly. It was already late winter, and it was the coldest time of the year in Dongyang. Most people had already prepared items for winter and basically didn't go out. When they went out occasionally, they would buy some daily necessities in the town. The whistling cave five or six miles away from the town naturally no one cared about it.

"Old Xu, no one has come to the Whirling Cave for seven consecutive days. Otherwise, we won't guard today!" The guard couldn't stand it anymore and complained.

"No one has to guard it! The whistling cave is the lifeblood of my Dongyang economy, and it is not to be lost. Boy, you'd better pray that someone will come to catch the cold stone, otherwise you will have to catch the share this month!" Old Man Xu said with a smile with a squinted eyes.

"Is prayer useful? If it works, I won't stay here. Didn't I just secretly drink some wine while standing guard? As for punishing me to come to this ghost place and suffer!" the soldier muttered.

"Haha, it's not good for young people to be so irritable! It seems that you have to go to Hantan to bubble more!"

"Don't, Mr. Xu, let's just kidding. Don't be serious. I promise that I will stick to my post and not let any monsters approach. Mr. Xu, see the black snow leopard that only feeds, and it's dark. Let's help you kill him and give you a tooth sacrifice." After saying that, he quickly raised his steel gun and cast it at the black shadow.

"Black Snow Leopards?! At this time, aren't black snow leopards all white horses? Why are there still black ones?" Old Man Xu gathered his soul into his eyes and strengthened his vision. He suddenly shouted, "Stop it!!!" But it was too late, the steel gun had already left and headed straight for the black shadow.

"Step on the snow! Rise!" Old Man Xu shouted, used his soul power and ran forward. Wherever he passed, he stepped on the snow without trace, forming a sharp sound explosion. Old Man Xu tried his best and finally hugged the black shadow before the steel gun and jumped to the side, but his rapid disguised appearance also made the old man unstable center of gravity, fell to the ground, and made a mark of dozens of meters.

"Still!" The steel gun entered the ground, making a harsh sound, and also awakened the stunned soldiers.

"Mr. Xu, are you!?" The soldier was puzzled.

"Boy, what's the look? It's so different in size between humans and black snow leopards, and you can see it!" Old Man Xu cursed.

"Ah!?" The soldier looked unbelievable, looked carefully, and exclaimed: "I'm going, I'm really a human being, why are you still a child!?"

"You also know that this is a child! You almost killed him just now! Ten cold stones are finished before sunset, otherwise you will not be allowed to eat!"

"No! Mr. Xu, I can't catch so many cold stones even if I catch them for three days!" The soldier wailed with a sad face.

"So you'd better do it now!"

"But"

"You can't go quickly! You're dragging it out for twenty yuan!"

"Yes, I'll go right now!" The soldier walked into the whistling cave with a look of despair.

"Hey, little kid, there's nothing wrong!" After dealing with the soldier, Old Man Xu asked as he watched the child knocked out of the child.

Hearing Old Man Xu's words, the child who was still in a daze stood up and muttered: "The ninth set of radio gymnastics starts now, step on the spot, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..."

Old Man Xu looked stunned at the jumping and jumping child. He thought to himself that the little devil was probably stupid, but as he looked at it, he suddenly found that the child's movements were not simple. After simulating the child's movements in his mind, Old Man Xu found that this set of movements actually moved the muscles and bones of the human body. Even if a person who has not practiced the fruit soul power did this set of movements at this time, the movements may even sweat. It can be seen that if this set of movements is promoted, it will definitely play a role in improving the physical fitness of residents in the long run. The more Mr. Xu thought about this set of movements, the more he felt that this set of movements was not simple, and he became curious about the identity of the child.

After a long and short four minutes and forty-five seconds, the child finished his last movement and exhaled a breath of heat. He said to the dazed old man Xu: "After the examination, there is no place for the body to fracture, but the butt is a bit painful. I won't hold you accountable for legal responsibility, but you have to give me some mental damage or something!" (* ̄︿ ̄)

"Ha~ha~~!?" Old Man Xu thought to himself, this kid was probably pretending to be stupid.

The child is Ye Wuyou. Since the dry food in the cave was about to be consumed, Ye Wuyou had no choice but to try his luck to see if he could find food. Ye Wuyou looked down and looked carefully, hoping to find the snow rabbit's nest. As he walked, he was drunk and jumped up. When he looked up, he saw a spear and wanted to fly by himself, but he was at a loss for a moment. Fortunately, he was shocked.

What Ye Wuyou did before was just to calm down his mood, and his words to Old Man Xu were just a joke. Looking at Old Man Xu with a broken face, Ye Wuyou held his fists and bowed: "Old man, young actor Ye Wuyou, thank you for your help just now!"

Old Man Xu has lived for more than 60 years and is considered a personal spirit. After some consideration, he guessed that Ye Wuyou was not seriously injured. He laughed: "Good boy, I dare to scare me. You are lucky. I am in a good mood today, so I won't care about you. But in this snowy and ice, what are you here to do as a baby!"

"To live!" For Ye Wuyou, not finding food means starving to death. It is not wrong to say that it is to live. However, the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. This is completely different to Old Man Xu. Old Man Xu looked at Ye Wuyou's tattered clothes and thought that what Ye Wuyou had done before could only come from the body movements of wealthy families (the ninth set of radio gymnastics), and Ye Wuyou's maturity that was inconsistent with his age. A family was destroyed. Ye Wuyou escaped from exile under the protection of his family's death. Since then, the bloody plot of the story of Old Man Xu has emerged in his mind.

"You... your parents are still alive!"

"My parents are not in this life!" Ye Wuyou said quietly for a long time. Looking at the old man's expression, Ye Wuyou knew what he had misunderstood, but he didn't explain anything.

"Hey! There are rivers, rivers, rivers, rivers, rivers, rivers, rivers! Poor child!" Old Man Xu lamented, but after lamenting, Old Man Xu did not have the idea of ​​taking Ye Wuyou in. If Ye Wuyou took in, he might be caught by Ye Wuyou's enemies in the future. Although Old Man Xu was kind-hearted, he was not so good that he could cause trouble for himself.

"So, are you planning to come here to catch cold stones?" asked Old Man Xu.

Ye Wuyou remained silent.

"I think it's impossible. You don't have any soul power on you, and you can't resist the coldness of the Cold Pond." Old Man Xu sighed, "Forget it, I'll save your life. Today I will help you to the end. Take it. This is the cultivation rule for the entry-level soul power, which is enough for you to practice to the first level of the Soul Guidance. You are here to catch the cold stone!"

Looking at the booklet handed over by Old Man Xu, Ye Wuyou was calculating gains and losses. In life, the hardest thing to pay back is the debt of favors. Old Man Xu has saved his life. If he accepted this thing, the favors he owed would not be able to be repaid. It is indeed difficult to repay the favors he had saved and recreated. But Ye Wuyou could only accept them. It would be okay if he was alone, but he adopted Xue Jian. It would be impossible to support two people at the same time with his own strength.

Ye Wuyou silently accepted the booklet, took a step back, and thought that Old Man Xu bowed deeply: "Old man, I will repay my kindness today in the future! Say goodbye!" Then he returned along the way.
