C2 Old Neighbor in a Red Apron
The sun was setting, and the busy days of being promoted to school had made time much shorter. The students were all in a hurry, carrying large and small bags, carrying large and small exam papers. Each of them headed home to read by candle and stay up late for the big battle.
Xu Lin carried his bag and prepared to stroll home. Back home, he was also alone and his father followed the construction site and stayed away for a long time. He also successfully became a lonely old man in the future.
The setting sun scattered across the land, dragging the youth's shadow with it. The youth hummed a small tune as he walked home lazily.
After passing through the bustling streets and passing a few old streets, Xu Lin already saw his residence. It was an old six-story staircase house, and he lived on the sixth floor. Compared to the tall building beside him, this place seemed very old and worn out, this was an old house that was left behind by Xu Lin's family.
The houses were sparse, but one thing worth mentioning was that next to Xu Lin's house, there was an old two-story house with a style similar to a monastery. This house was even older than the one Xu Lin had lived in back then, and when Xu Lin first moved over, he saw a old man waving a red handkerchief at him from the monastery. Every time Xu Lin returned, he would wait for him upstairs and wave goodbye to him.
No matter how he thought about it, he still felt a little scared in his heart. He originally wanted to call the police, but his neighbor advised him, saying that the old man had lived there for many years, and would be happy to see anyone. He probably thought that Xu Lin was an idiot, which was why he let his guard down.
However, Xu Lin actually started to come into contact with this old man. He felt that this old man was very pitiful. He talked all day and had no one to take care of him, so when he was free, he also brought some food for the old man.
The old man kept saying to Xu Lin that he was the Venerable Emperor, that there was not a single person who did not obey him when they saw him, and that he was the overlord of the entire Supreme Celestial Realm.
He even said that the undergarment he was wearing was the armor of a fairy. It was impervious to swords and spears, impervious to fire and water.
The handkerchief in his hand was a Immortal-Trapping Scarf, and it even had its own space inside as he stored all sorts of rare and precious treasures.
Xu Lin is an atheist who believes in science, and he listens to all the jokes in front of him.
This old man was completely dumbfounded. Who knew where he had stolen the undergarment? It was a simple one with a dragon and phoenix engraved on it. Very few people in their generation would dare to wear it now.
The Immortal-Trapping Shawl, it doesn't exist.
Xu Lin had long since thought of this old man as someone who had lost his mind.
When he arrived downstairs today and saw the old man waiting for him, the old man was happy when he saw Xu Lin and waved towards him from afar.
Xu Lin held his forehead and thought to himself, this old man waits for him to come back every day. This old man is really even younger than a wife, so when he thought of this, he couldn't help but shiver.
He waved his hand and shouted towards the old man, "Old man, you're back! In the evening, I will heat the hotpot at your place. "
The old man waved his red neckerchief in excitement.
"Okay, okay. Little Lin, come quickly! I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Xu Lin: "..."
The moon was tranquil and the full moon hung in the sky.
City C was the best city in the world. There was less smog, better air, and the whole area was covered with nebulous clouds at night.
In this noisy city, there were bright lights and a dilapidated Taoist temple. An old man and a young man were sitting on the ground.
Hot steam rose and filled the entire room. Xu Lin was busy pouring various spices and ingredients into the pot.
Lunch meat, golden mushroom, fat cow, all kinds of meat and vegetables, accompanied by cumin chili base oil, stew, the fragrance had long since assaulted the nose.
Old man Xie was looking forward to it, so he kept knocking on the bowl and chopsticks.
"Hurry, Lin, hurry, I can't take this old man anymore!"
"Old man, don't you feel disgusted? Don't be like a dog, you're going to drool into the pot!"
Xu Lin's culinary skills were unquestionable. This was the first time he had eaten a hotpot, but this old man had already drank his soup. He could not stop him and could not stop praising him.
Xu Lin was dumbfounded. It really was me eating hotpot, the old man eating hotpot seasoning, the bottom soup mixed with oil, cooking time 100 degrees Celsius ah.
After the old man finished eating, he picked up the pot and started to drink without saying anything else. He finished it in one gulp without leaving a single drop behind.
After drinking it, his lips were as thick as two sausages. He even said that he was fine and continued to give Xu Lin 666 yuan.
Not long after, the bottom of the pot began to boil, and the ingredients began to boil within the pot. The old and the young began to chat as they ate.
"Lil 'Lin, let the old man tell you about how powerful and powerful the old man was in the past."
"Oh come on, what about you? It's just a few sentences, do you think I can take it lying?"
I am the number one war god of the Upper Immortal Realm. Within the eight wastelands, there are no rivals. With Jin'ling in my hands, I intimidate and exterminated evil, opened a path, created a divine temple, established a human cultivation, revitalized the human race, and saved them from a sea of suffering. "Am I right?"
Xu Lin had interrupted the old man's words in advance. He had listened to him countless times, and his ears were starting to hurt.
"Yeah, yeah, there's still more." After pouring the base oil for himself, the old man drank it as he chatted with Xu Lin.
The old man had always thought that the base oil was the soup and that he would have to drink a few bowls of it each time. Xu Lin tried to stop him a few times, but the old man got into this excellent habit after that. An old man was about to drink up all the oil in his mouth, so he asked if it was good for him to eat!
"Enough!" "Old liar, hurry up and eat. I'll go back to sleep after eating. I still have to go to school tomorrow."
The old man chuckled and quickly scooped up a few pieces of meat from the pot. As he was about to feed it to his mouth, the old man suddenly froze.
Xu Lin looked at the dazed old man. His aura had changed, and Xu Lin seemed to be able to smell the faint scent of blood in the air.
The old man's eyes suddenly became empty. His deep eyes were filled with black pupils that dyed his eyeballs black.
It was like a piece of white paper that had been splashed with ink. It was also like a black hole with an endless suction force that was about to pull out Xu Lin's soul.
"Hiss!" "Howl …"
A burst of tearing pain poured down from the sky like a burst of boiling oil as Xu Lin fainted.
The old man came back to his senses, put down the bowl in his hands, got up and stumbled towards the balcony.
"I can finally go back!" The heavens have treated me well! So many years! It's finally here! "
"Lin, look, I'm not lying to you!" I can go back now! "
"Little Lin?" The old man turned around and saw Xu Lin, who was lying on the ground and covering his head as he fainted.
He quickly returned to check on Xu Lin.
The old man thought to himself: Crap, I've been too excited. There's a leak in my Immortal energy. Pah! There's a leak!
This brat's soul was injured, what should he do?
Right now, his cultivation couldn't be suppressed. It wouldn't be long before he would die from a splitting headache.
Why don't we just let this kid ascend to the realm of bliss?
He thought about how in the past few years, only this brat would not despise him, even cooking food for him, and would even chat with a bad old man like him when he had nothing to do. This caused him, who had experienced slaughter, experienced life and death, and had already become steel-blooded and ruthless, to be slightly moved.
"Sigh, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to be able to return this time. Forget about worldly possessions, I'll just treat it as money for your meal, kid!"
The old man pulled out a small box from under the bed. Inside the box was a book with a simple cover and golden words printed on the cover.
"Immortal notebook!" There was also a small line of "Custom 9th Edition" at the bottom right.
He took out his notebook and took off the undergarment from his body. Then, he threw the red handkerchief and the undergarment towards the notebook.
Light flashed, and the apron and red scarf became specks of starlight.
The notebook turned into a greedy green cat. It stretched its back, moved closer to the starlight, and swallowed it in one gulp.
After swallowing it, it lazily stretched its body, tightly coiled its body, and once again turned into that simple and unadorned book.
The old man then picked up the notebook and placed it inside Xu Lin's clothes. The notebook seemed to sense the warmth and slightly flickered before slowly merging into Xu Lin's flesh.
However, after a while, the headache gradually subsided, and Xu Lin gradually regained consciousness.
"Why am I sleeping on the ground? My head hurts." This was Xu Lin's first feeling of sobriety …
He could not remember what he had just seen happen to the old man's eyes.
When he turned around, he was so scared that his back turned cold!
He saw the old man squatting with his legs apart and his head lowered towards the old man's face. He was just a few centimeters away from kissing him.
Xu Lin's hands were swift as he slapped over, causing the old man to stagger.
"F * ck, old man, you're abnormal, I think you're a friend, but you actually want to play with me."
The old man wasn't angry at all and just chuckled.
Xu Lin was even more afraid now …
"Old liar, don't be like this. You're from the neighbor. Don't tell me you're an old glass player!"
Xu Lin was on the verge of tears. Who wouldn't think of the old man in the red undergarment as a freak?
Only he was so naive. The old man almost broke the child's body, and almost stole his first kiss!
"Lin, don't be afraid. You just fainted, let me see how you are doing."
"Nonsense, how could I possibly faint?" Did you drug it!? Also! Old man, you even took off your undergarment, what else do you want? "
"Old Glass, your sister!"
Xu Lin quickly stood up and prepared to leave this chaotic place. If he stayed any longer, he was truly going to be beaten to a pulp.
He slipped away.
Xu Lin seemed to have opened the door and quickly left.
"Old Glass, don't contact me anymore!"
The old man was left dumbfounded as to what he was doing.
I'm not as good as Long Yang, what can I do to you after I saved you?
I've given you all my treasures, aren't you going to take responsibility for me?
The old man remembered something and hurriedly chased after him. He yelled his lungs out as he stood on the balcony and yelled towards Xu Lin.
"Lin, I left something in your body to protect it."
Xu Lin was jogging home when he heard the old man's voice. His feet staggered.
Mom, your father's innocence is really good. Quickly go home and wash up, wash up is healthier.
"Also, my surname is Cao. Just call me Old Man Cao. Remember me."
Xu Lin was on the verge of vomiting blood. Old Glass, oh old Glass, you even want this old man and you won't let him off.
Not daring to stay, Xu Lin quickly ran home.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Xu Lin returned to his old house. He was still in a state of shock, thinking back to how he had been wise for so many years, yet today he had been destroyed just like that.
Xu Lin could not remember why Old Man Cao's eyes were like a demon's, nor why he himself had fainted. He could only think that he had been humiliated by Old Glass.
Lying on the bed, silently crying, coupled with the aftereffects of his headache, his tiredness gradually attacked. Very soon, Xu Lin was swept into a deep slumber by his exhaustion.
The stars in the sky blinked. They flickered in and out of the sky, full of curiosity.
The round moon hung in the sky, transparent light, quiet and deep, motionless, like a silent guardian.
Compared to the brilliance of the city, the sky is heaven, quietly looking down on the people who are in depravity.
People were followers of the devil, worshiping money, skin, and fame.
He was muddle-headed, self-satisfied, and completely unaware.
However, there would always be people in the world who would act differently from others, just like Old Man Cao, who had now changed his appearance.
At this time, he was standing with his hands behind his back. He was dressed in white, and the wind caressed his hair, making him look like a completely different person.
He looked up at the sky, concentrating.
The meteor streaked across the sky and Old Man Cao's body began to tremble.
"Finally... Finally! It's here! " The old man's voice trembled.
On the full moon, in the bright moon, a black spot appeared. It was like a sharp thorn piercing through the chest, the black spot began to spread out from the center of the moon, and the moonlight was slowly being swallowed.
Hiss!
A tearing sound could be heard.
The black shadow instantly submerged the full moon and it exploded towards the sky. The stars in the sky flickered even more intensely, as if they were struggling, but they couldn't escape the black shadow's claws. They continued to devour faster and faster, and even the sky began to churn with black clouds.
However, this was still not enough. It was like a demon beast that was unable to eat its fill and had an extremely strong possession. After the sky was occupied, the black shadow began to descend, starting to descend from the sky.
But how many people paid attention to it on this merry night? What does darkness bring to man when it comes to earth?
Xu Lin was in a deep slumber and knew nothing about the outside world. A faint cyan light appeared on his chest, bits and pieces of it, and gradually, more and more cyan light appeared, covering and wrapping around Xu Lin's body like a cicada's chrysalis.
Xu Lin, who had safely fallen asleep, did not know of the earth-shaking changes that had occurred during this night.
