Chapter 5 The Mysterious Old man

On the way back to the family, Chu Li, who looked embarrassed, was naturally inevitably pointed out by others. However, Chu Li has also heard a lot about these sarcasm in the past half a month. He has more or less exercised some immunity, but he has never paid attention to it.

When he got home, Chu Yi had already prepared the meal. Seeing the embarrassed appearance of Chu Li who entered the door, his eyes couldn't help but pause slightly, and even said lightly, "Wash your hands and eat."

"Ye" Chu Li nodded and ran away.

At the dinner table, the two grandfathers and grandchildren were silent, and no one spoke, and the whole table was unusually quiet.

"Li'er, in two days, Grandpa will go back to the family to deal with family affairs. At that time, he can't take care of you in person. You should pay more attention to yourself." In the end, Chu Yi broke the silent table.

Hearing the words, Chu Li was slightly stunned and instantly understood that Chu Yi was the second master of the family, and many of the family's businesses needed his care. This time, if Chu Li had not known his life and death, Chu Yi would not have stayed to take care of him for half a month.

"Ye" Chu Li understood Chu Yi's difficulties and nodded slightly.

"If it's not necessary in the future, just stay at home." Chu Yi glanced at the wounds on Chu Li's body, and a trace of concern flashed in his eyes and whispered.

"I know." Chu Li nodded.

When Chu Yi saw Chu Li agree, he also relaxed. Looking at Chu Li's embarrassed figure, he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

......

In the room, Chu Li lay**, looking at the roof confusedly.

"Alas..." After a long time, Chu Li laughed at himself, slowly closed his eyes, and muttered, "Even if I try harder, I can't change my fate after all!"

The meridians were naturally broken, and such a body made Chu Li feel a burst of despair from the bottom of his heart. This despair devoured him like endless darkness.

"Hmm, it's really promising. I gave up like this at a young age!" Just as Chu Li's helpless voice fell, an old sneer suddenly came into his ear.

"Who is it?" ** Chu Li suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and got up, and glanced around the room vigilantly. Although his status in the Chu family has not been high and is even often bullied, few people dare to enter his residence. After all, his grandfather is the second master of the family. If he is bullied, the nature of this matter will be completely different. Therefore, Chu Li was also extremely clear that it was at least safe at home, but he didn't expect to hear the sound that should not appear in his room at this moment. How can he not be shocked? Today's sound can appear in the room, and tomorrow's sound can kill him!

After scanning the room for a long time, Chu Li's face also became extremely difficult to look, because he did not find the source of the sound, that is to say, the person's strength was even stronger than his grandfather Chu Yi, because with his spiritual knowledge could deliberately find the existence of Chu Yi.

"Who are you, Chu Xian?" Chu Li glanced at the room with a wary face and said in a low voice.

"Chu Xian? What a cat and a dog, you deserve me to take action!" Just then, the old voice came again.

"Where on earth?" Chu Li's forehead sweated coldly. He deliberately attracted people to speak, trying to judge the direction of the other party, and then the old voice seemed to be everywhere, like duckweed without roots, so that he could not grasp any trace at all.

"Stupid boy, don't look for it. I'm in your chest!" At this moment, the old voice came very clearly from Chu Li's chest.

"My chest?" Hearing this, Chu Li was slightly stunned, and then his face suddenly changed. He hurriedly opened his shirt on his chest and saw a long cyan rope hanging a dark black antique ring on his chest.

"Is that you?" Looking at the dark black ring on his chest, Chu Li's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. After experiencing such strange things, the so-called atheism in his previous life had already been broken by the impact. However, Chu Li has lived for two lifetimes. He has experienced death and will soon recover.

"The boy is not bad, but he didn't faint." The old voice in the ring sounded again.

"What are you, man, god, ghost?" Repressing the fear in his heart, Chu Li asked carefully.

"People? God? Ghost?" The old voice seemed to be asked by Chu Li's question, but immediately there was a soft smile, "Neither."

"Neither!" Chu Li was stunned at first, and then his face changed slightly. He frowned, "Then what the hell are you?"

"How to say this? Even if you say it, I don't think you will understand. You can treat me as a soul for the time being." The old voice pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile.

"The soul? Isn't it a ghost? Soon after death, the soul left the body and became a ghost? Chu Li curled his lips and said sneer.

"Who says that only when a person dies can his soul leave the body? Even if he is a living person, it is extremely normal for his soul to leave his body." The old man sneered disdainfully.

"Is it the yuan god?" Listening to the old voice, Chu Li was slightly stunned, and the myths and legends of his previous life suddenly flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help blurted out.

"How can you know the yuan god?" The old voice was slightly surprised.

"It's just an inadvertent hearing about it." Chu Li quickly said that he didn't want to be known that his cognition did not come from this world at all.

"Oh..." The old voice did not doubt Chu Li's words, but continued, "Stupid boy, listening to what you just said, it seems that you want to give up martial arts like this?"

Hearing the words, Chu Li looked helpless and smiled bitterly and said, "What can I do if I don't give up? My meridians are broken and I can't practice at all."

Chu Li is not a person who gives up easily, but when there is no chance at all, it is no longer whether he is willing to give up, but that he has to give up!

Wo!

Suddenly, a white light gushed out from the dark ring, and the next moment, a pale misty figure appeared in front of Chu Li. This figure's face was slightly old, but it seemed to have a fairy style, but the keen Chu Li still found that there was a trace of shrewdness in his slightly empty eyes. Obviously, the old man was definitely not as simple as he seemed.

"Stupid boy, you don't have to give up so much. I have seen many people for so many years, and there are even warriors with a worse foundation than yours, but in the end, there are many of them who are hegemons." Looking at Chu Li's slightly helpless look, the old man said with a smile.

Chu Li doesn't understand the truth in the old man's words, but he wants to change. I'm afraid it's too late. Chu Xian won't give him time at all, let alone give him a chance.

"How to achieve great things when you are afraid of wolves and tigers? With the help of my husband, you can reach the level of martial arts within a year. Do you have the courage to have a try? Seeing Chu Li's face, the old man couldn't help humming coldly.

"Have you reached the martial arts level within a year?" A hope ignited in Chu Li's eyes, and his eyes fell on the old man, but the hope in his eyes suddenly disappeared.

"How can you help me with your current appearance?" Chu Li shook his head in disappointment. The old man's foggy body made him understand that the old man's current situation was probably no better than his.

"Even if I'm just a soul, what matters is whether you dare to try it. One year, only one year, do you have the courage to bet? Even if it fails, the end will not be worse than now!" The old man looked at Chu Li proudly and said powerfully.

Hearing the words, Chu Li's expression suddenly changed, and the previous pictures kept flashing in his mind, both in his previous life and this life. The situation of being at the bottom of society, precarious, and even his life could not be independent came to his mind one by one. His look also began to become firm with the appearance of these pictures.

"Bet, why don't you bet? It's just a matter of death!" Chu Li is also a bloody person. He was unable to change anything in his previous life. There was an opportunity in this life. Although this opportunity did not seem very reliable, Chu Li was still willing to gamble. As the old man said, even if you lose, can the result be worse than now?

"I really didn't see the wrong person, but the boy has the style of me back then." Seeing that Chu Li agreed, the old man said with a treacherous smile.

"Old ghost, can you really help me reach the level of martial arts within a year?" Chu Li, who made up his mind, looked at the old man with a hopeful face.

"What do you call me..." The old man didn't seem to hear Chu Li's words. He stared at Chu Li with a frosty face and said coldly.

"Old ghost, you're all dead, isn't it a ghost?" Chu Li curled his lips. Although he was stared at by the old man, he could feel that the old man had no malice.

"I have already told you that I am a soul, not a ghost. It's not called an old ghost." The old man blew his beard and stared angrily, "You don't know, I think I was..."

"Stop!" Before the old man finished his words, he was interrupted by Chu Li. Looking at the angry old man, Chu Li rolled his eyes and rolled his eyes. You also know that it was the past. Now you are all like this. As the saying goes, the good man doesn't mention the bravery of those years. If you were really powerful in those years, how can you get to this now?"

"I..." A murder gushed out of the old man's eyes, and a strong breath emanated from the old man's body in an instant, and the breath of terror suppressed Chu Li beside him.

"What a horrible breath. This guy won't be really strong in his life, will he?" Feeling the pressure that made him unable to breathe, Chu Li couldn't help guessing in his heart.

"Old ghost..." Feeling the still rising breath, Chu Li couldn't help shouting.

"Hmm?" Hearing this explosion, the old man suddenly came to his senses and looked at Chu Li, who was sweaty and pale, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. "Are you all right? I'm a little out of shape."
