Chapter 221 The undercurrent under the calm (13)
In the Tianyuan world, there are very few ‘old people’.
It’s not that the Tianyuan world’s resources are so scarce that people will be killed as soon as they get old, but because most of the Tianyuan world are cultivators. As long as they practice to refine their Qi, they can greatly reduce the rate of aging of the body and the appearance before death. , at most fifty or sixty years old.
Coupled with some cosmetic surgeries and beauty pills, as long as you have money, even an old lady who is approaching her end can still have a youthful and delicate body and a beautiful face.
But this old lady is different.
Tie Shou sat on his familiar but much cleaner seat, turning his head thoughtfully and looking at the door to the back room.
Aunt Huai has finished cleaning and is resting in the back room.
This old man has no cultivation... This is even more rare in Xuanye City than foundation building. For a person who has no talent for cultivation, even if his body is deficient, he can still use surgery to replenish his physical body. However, there is always a silky essence.
People without cultivation will have a hard time walking on thin ice, whether in the city, in a safe zone or in the wilderness.
Only a truly wealthy family can afford to support a person who does not practice or produce until old age.
Still...so healthy, so healthy that he can still clean even at the end of his life!
"The old man has a talent for cultivation... He even has a strong 'Qi' in his body. It's just that it's all contained in the soul and not used on the body."
Holding the formation pen in Tie Shou's hand, he fell into deep thought: "Is this a special talent specially cultivated by a big family? Or..."
Tie Shou was well-informed and actually guessed Madam Huai's true identity. But after all, he didn't understand the situation, so he didn't think deeply along this line of thinking: "What kind of friends has Huo Qing made, so that he can meet such a person?"
"And then buying a house..."
With this in mind, before Tie Shou could get up to ask, Aunt Huai came over with a bowl of mushroom soup: "I originally planned to cook this for Huo Qing and the others to drink when they come back, but boss Tie Shou, you have come back from a long way. I must be thirsty too."
"I'm really thirsty, thank you."
Iron Hand's red prosthetic eye scanned it, and after confirming that it was non-toxic and abnormal, he took a sip.
I have to say, it's quite delicious. When he makes the soup himself, he always uses canned ingredients, water and salt to fool around with it. Anyway, he practices digestion and the results are almost the same.
After taking another sip, Tie Shou thought for a while, then called out to Madam Huai, and then directly asked the doubts in his heart: "Although it's a little rude, old man, I think you are not an ordinary human being, at least you shouldn't be here. My noble man...how do you know my silly nephew?"
Aunt Huai shook her head slightly: "I didn't know Huo Qing originally, but I... taught the younger generation to be familiar with him."
She thought about it and decided to reveal her identity as 'teacher'.
Aunt Huai has rich experience. She knows that An Jing calls himself a wilderness person when communicating with Huo Qing and others, but An Jing's behavior is not very wilderness.
However, the wilderness people are not just tribes, there should be other organizations... When An Jing comes back, she will communicate with An Jing and help An Jing eliminate this flaw.
Aunt Huai didn't say much, and Tie Shou silently wrote down: "In the sect? No wonder I don't feel like a tribe in the wilderness or a noble family in the city. It turns out to be an underground secret sect... huh?"
Tie Shou thought of someone.
The 'wilderness boy' who helped Huo Qing would indeed be called a friend by Huo Qing.
Tie Shou suddenly realized: "It turns out it's him! I said that although this kid doesn't know anything about anything, he has tender skin and tender flesh. He doesn't look like he has lived in the city, but he doesn't look like a wilderness person. His feelings are from the esoteric religion. Man! "After the catastrophe, many esoteric sects sprung up in various wilderness safe areas. Some were serious monastic sects, gathering people to gather incense and divine power to protect one party, and some were corrupted by demons to breed the embryos of the catastrophe.
Judging from the appearance of Aunt Huai and that wilderness boy, it should be a normal sect... Even if it is not normal, now is not the time to fall out.
Next, the two chatted about some details of the sect, and Aunt Huai also knew that the other party wanted to find out the details, so she thought about it and talked about her experiences in Tianyi Sect and some rituals as colorlessly as possible. Description of the altar.
Overall, it was half truth and half false, which made Tie Shou, who knew that Mrs. Huai couldn't possibly tell the whole truth, feel quite real.
"You, the old man, are really well-informed, and your sect's teachings are also quite equal and harmonious. I must be a good sect that loves its people like children."
It has to be said that Mrs. Huai's chat skills are probably inferior to those of a hundred Huo Qing and fifty You Ruhui. Tie Shou communicated with her for half an hour. Not only did he feel that he had gained a lot, he had mastered it. With many life tips, my impression of Aunt Huai has also improved a lot.
In response to the vague information revealed by Aunt Huai, Tie Shou sighed casually, but found that Aunt Huai's smile turned into a bitter smile, and he immediately understood.
——Ha, feelings are another sect whose teachings are very good, but in fact, the implementation is still the same.
He knew it in his heart, but it felt even more real. With the terrible situation in the Tianyuan world, is it possible that there really is an underground organization with a normal mind?
Just when Tie Shou was about to continue asking questions to see how far his eldest nephew had told his family's information, he suddenly received a communication.
"Um...Sister?!"
The light in his eyes suddenly lit up, and even Aunt Huai could see that Tie Shou's expression suddenly changed. His expression was both excited, frightened, and a little incredible.
——Is this a message from someone he admires or an important relative?
Because Huo Qing also received several communications, Aunt Huai knew that Tie Shou was now communicating with people using chips.
And she could also see that Tie Shou's expression was definitely not a communication from an ordinary person.
Sure enough, when the light in Tie Shou's eyes dimmed, he stood up and said, "There is something urgent again. Old man, please rest here. When Huo Qing comes back, ask him to give me a message."
"Easy to say. Then boss, see you next time."
Madam Huai stood up to see her off, but was waved by Iron Hand to signal her to sit down: "Old man, your life is approaching, so there is no need to exert any more effort."
"But speaking of it, I find it a bit strange."
This time, there were really some doubts from the heart, so even Tie Shou, who could not wait to go to Xuanye City to meet up, stopped for this and looked at Aunt Huai: "Is this the teaching of your sect? I think you There are no traces of transformation on the body, and no life-extending surgery?”
"Hmm...personal reasons."
——Renovation, life extension? In this world, skills are truly beyond imagination.
Although Mrs. Huai had no such idea, she kept this technique in mind.
Tie Shou left in a hurry, while Aunt Huai stayed alone in the recycling hut. She was silent for a while, then smiled and shook her head: "You have already made up your mind to die, so why think about anything else."
She went back to cooking and waited for An Jing and others to come back.
At the same time, An Jing and others were packing up their loot.
