uncomfortable, he when the pages of nonsense, Tang Ning has not paid attention to him, when he behind with a dog. 老乞丐不在的时候等他难受,他在的时候又废话连篇,唐宁没有理会他,就当他身后跟了一条狗。 Before leaving Wanzhou, he asked Ruan district Wei Zhaogu Zhao Yuner, simultaneously left behind thousand taels of silver in his there, helped her plate next shop, can guarantee her latter half of life not to need to worry about food or clothing. 离开万州之前,他拜托阮县尉照顾赵芸儿,同时在他那里留下了一千两银子,帮她盘下一间铺子,可以保她下半辈子衣食无忧。 In addition, he gives back Liu Zheng left behind correspondence, after Ruan district Wei Diaozou, Liu Zheng can also guarantee her to

Therefore Tang Ning cannot regard him follows in a dog. 所以唐宁不能将他当成是跟在身边的一条狗了。 He slowed down the step on own initiative, spoke thoughtlessly to ask: „ten thousand Gu teaches ten big elders, there is one surnamed Wu?” 他主动放慢了步子,随口问道:“万蛊教十大长老,有没有一个姓吴的？” „Does not know.” The old beggar spits the green foxtail of mouth, said: „The Wanzhou provincial governors name, does the Liang head of household name you to know?” “不知道。”老乞丐将嘴里的狗尾巴草吐出来,说道:“万州刺史叫什么名字,梁家家主叫什么名字你知道吗？” „......” “……” Tang Ning by dumbfounded that he asked that but thinks is also, old beggar in the past with snatching the idea of rare book, the elder who also how will care about ten thousand Gujiao called anything. 唐宁被他问的哑口无言,不过想想也是,老乞丐当年是怀着抢秘籍的想法,又怎么会在乎万蛊教的长老叫什么。 However, took off others clothes, ties up others on the tree, others names did not ask one, rather some went too far...... 不过,脱了人家的衣服,将人家绑在树上,却连人家的名字都不问一句,也未免有些太过分了…… The old beggar takes off a bottle gourd from the back, filled a liquor , to continue saying: „Moreover, ten thousand Gujiao ten big elders, have not been invariable, in these years, feared that was their ten big elders also traded several groups, how the old man knows that in had one surnamed Wu?” 老乞丐从背后摘下一个葫芦,灌了口酒,继续道:“而且,万蛊教的十大长老,并不是一直不变的,这几十年来,怕是他们的十大长老也换了好几拨,老夫怎么知道里面有没有一个姓吴的？” Listened to the old beggar saying that perhaps behind Liang the person, was not ten thousand Gujiao the current elder, but his gu technique attainments, badly also and white brocade Gongsun shadow was on a par, knows surely many Tang Ning did not know secret about ten thousand Gujiao. 听老乞丐这么说,或许梁家背后之人,并不是万蛊教现任长老,但他的蛊术造诣,最差也和白锦公孙影不相伯仲,必定知道许多唐宁不知道的关于万蛊教的秘密。 Tang Ning thinks of the incident, looks at the old beggar, asked: „Heard before their, for saintess , because lost to you, therefore closes up the self-torture, because of overstating dead, don't you have guilty?” 唐宁又想到一事,看着老乞丐,问道:“听说她们的前代圣女,就是因为败给了你,因此才闭关苦修,却因为走火入魔而死,你对此就没有一点愧疚吗？” „Immeasurable day reveres......” old beggar to heave a deep sigh, said: „Buddha has the cloud, the life and death has the life, the riches and honor depend on the appointment of heaven, in that is she assigns/life has this tribulation, how can blame to the old man on?” “无量天尊……”老乞丐长叹一声,说道:“佛祖有云,生死有命,富贵在天,那是她命里有此一劫,怎么能怪到老夫身上？” The immeasurable day reveres, if knows that the old beggar borrows his given name to talk nonsense, perhaps will lower a god of journeys to be struck by lightning he. 无量天尊要是知道老乞丐借用他的名号胡扯,说不定会降下一道神雷劈死他。 Tang Ning by rests on the tree of roadside, drinks water while convenient, scratched water stain of corners of the mouth, muttered: „Was small they to arrive in Chu now?” 唐宁靠在路边的一棵树上休息,顺便喝了口水,擦了擦嘴角的水渍,喃喃道:“小小她们现在应该到楚国了吧？” This time they leave whole family, small and old Zheng follows, calculates the day, now should also almost arrive. 这次她们举家离开,小小和老郑一路跟随,算算日子,现在应该也差不多到了。 The old beggar filled a liquor, looked at his one eyes, smacks the lips, said: „Cannot think, person who you are one have the principle.” 老乞丐又灌了口酒,看了他一眼,咂了咂嘴,说道:“想不到,你还是一个有原则的人。” Tang Ning shot a look at his one eyes, asked: „Are you first day the discovery?” 唐宁瞥了他一眼,问道:“你是第一天发现吗？” The old beggar wiped the corners of the mouth, said: „Actually has a matter, the old man has been very curious.” 老乞丐抹了把嘴角,说道:“其实有一件事,老夫一直很好奇。” He looks to Tang Ning, asked: „On that day you had died obviously, how afterward to live?” 他看向唐宁,问道:“那天你明明已经死了,后来是怎么活过来的？” „How could does deceased person resurrect?” Tang Ning looked at him, said: „Perhaps was you misreads.” “死人岂能复活？”唐宁看了看他,说道:“或许是你看错了。” „Old man will not misread.” The old beggar visits him, said: „The entire two double-hour, your heart has not jumped over.” “老夫是不会看错的。”老乞丐看着他,说道:“整整两个时辰,你的心都没有跳过。” Tang Ning thinks, said: „Speaking of the medicine, this is completely

唐宁想了想,说道:“从医学上说,这是完全可能的,人在某种外界刺激下,会陷入一种假死状态,虽然没有心跳和脉搏,但他依旧还活着。” The old beggar looked at him for a long time, shook the head, said: „Perhaps was the old man really misread......” 老乞丐看了他许久,才摇了摇头,说道:“或许是老夫真的看错了……” The old beggar curious matter, is the biggest secret that on Tang Ning shoulders, this secret, he does not plan to tell anybody, naturally, no one believes. 老乞丐好奇的事情,是唐宁身上背负的最大的秘密,这个秘密,他不打算告诉任何人,当然,也没有人会相信。 „Actually that two double-hour, I had a dream.” Tang Ning looks at the old beggar, said: „In the dream, I am another person, is crossing another different life, I nearly perish in that dream, until slightly awakens me......” “其实那两个时辰,我做了一个梦。”唐宁看着老乞丐,说道:“在梦里,我是另一个人,过着另一种不同的人生,我险些沉沦在那个梦里,直到小小唤醒我……” He breathes a sigh of relief, said: „Without her holds water in cupped hands, I think that I really died at that time.” 他舒了口气,说道:“若是没有她的那一捧水,我想我那时候就真的死了。” The old beggar looked at his one eyes, said: „No wonder your treasure disciple to old man is so good, favors her compared with the old man......” 老乞丐看了他一眼,说道:“难怪你对老夫的宝贝徒儿那么好,比老夫还宠她……” „She is my savior, is my younger sister.” Tang Ning natural saying: „Whom don't I favor her to favor?” “她是我的救命恩人,也是我的妹妹。”唐宁理所当然的说道:“我不宠她宠谁？” The old beggar visits him, said: „Hopes that you remember these words forever.” 老乞丐看着他,说道:“希望你永远记得这句话。” Tang Ning shot a look at him, said: „Does not need you to remind, I will also be favoring her forever.” 唐宁瞥了瞥他,说道:“不用你提醒,我也会永远宠着她。” The old beggar shakes the head, said: „What I said is on one.” 老乞丐摇了摇头,说道:“我说的是上一句。” ...... …… Tang water matter is only an accident/surprise, the matter that the old beggar is worried about is purely unnecessary, small in Tang Ning at heart is a child, although in fact she is not a child...... 唐水的事情只是一个意外,老乞丐担心的事情纯属多余,小小在唐宁的心里还是个孩子,虽然事实上她已经不是一个孩子了…… Tang Ning and old beggar enter the Guizhou place, only brought three days of grain, because of according to plan, three days later, they will then approach ten thousand Gujiao to subordinate in a some branch vein of three elder lineage/vein. 唐宁和老乞丐进入黔地,只带了三天的粮食,因为按照计划,三天之后,他们便会靠近万蛊教隶属于三长老一脉的某一支脉。 But they had not expected what is, the

yesterday. 但他们没有预料到的是,黔地的实际地形,和地图上绘制的有一些小小的偏差,导致他们直到第四日上午,才到达了目的地,而他们的食物,昨日便已经吃完了。 Good here is in the mountain, even does not bring any food and water, they can still gain from the surrounding environment. 好在这里是山里,即便是不带任何的食物和水,他们也能从周围的环境中获取。 Tang Ning arrives at somewhere near the stream, said to the old beggar: „I catch two fish, periphery you have a look to have the mushroom, picks comes back, picks some fuels again......” 唐宁来到某处溪边,对老乞丐道:“我去抓两条鱼,你看看周围有没有蘑菇,采一些回来,再捡些柴火……” Guizhou itself/Ben is a not developed buried treasure, the grass carp in this small stream is very lush, Tang Ning inserted two with the harpoon, after cutting open the belly the scale, then built a grill near the stream. 黔地本就是一座未曾被开发的宝藏,这条小溪中的草鱼十分肥美,唐宁用鱼叉插了两条,剖腹去鳞之后,便在溪边搭了一个烤架。 When he builds the grill, the old beggar also came back, in his hand is carrying two pheasants, a spirit mushroom. 等他搭好烤架,老乞丐也回来了,他手上拎着两只山鸡,还有一只灵芝。 This spirit mushroom looked on some years, even was uncommon in this type of remote mountain, regarding their these people of practicing martial art, was the thing of big making up, the luck of old beggar was good. 这灵芝一看就有些年份了,就算是在这种深山之中也不常见,对于他们这些习武之人来说,是大补之物,老乞丐的运气还算不错。 Tang Ning

那少女穿着奇怪,却能说一口流利的汉话,指着唐宁,大怒道:“你,你们竟然烧了我的灵芝……” The old beggar truncated a spirit mushroom to give her with the dagger, said: „Tastes?” 老乞丐用匕首削了一块灵芝递给她,说道:“尝尝？” The young girls do not go excessively, are
