Ke Ruan tried his best to send internal energy to Dugu Qiubai, but in fact, the effect of doing so was not great.

She has studied medicine, so she can naturally see that Dugu Qiubai is not suffering from poisoning or illness at this time, he is just aging naturally, and it is just at this time.

And this is irreversible.

Unless Ke Ruan can turn back the time of Dugu Qiubai, she will not be able to save him.

But at least, Ke Ruan's internal strength revived Dugu Qiubai, who was already weak and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he saw a young woman standing beside his bed. She looked less than 20 years old. At the age of [-], he was continuously pouring abundant internal energy into his body at this time.

"Enough is enough, stop."

Apparently Dugu Qiubai also knows his own situation: "People will die of old age, and their destiny is hard to break. It's not a very bad thing."

But Ke Ruan was shocked the moment he opened his eyes.

These are a pair of eyes belonging to a dying old man. They are no longer moist and bright, and even their eyesight may have regressed long ago. The corners of these eyes are covered with wrinkles, as if they are telling everyone the helplessness and depression of old age.

But at the moment when Dugu Qiubai opened his eyes to look at her, Ke Ruan saw the thick and lofty sword intent in those seemingly ordinary eyes, like a peerless sword emerging from its scabbard The moment of the blade.

Compared with the soaring sword energy of other swordsmen Ke Ruan had seen before, Dugu Qiubai is thick and introverted, but it is also like this, he looks more and more unfathomable, and Ke Ruan is almost addicted to it at that moment. It wasn't until Dugu Qiubai spoke to her that she barely recovered.

Looking at the countdown bar of the system, the remaining time for Dugu Qiubai has changed from three hours to eight hours, Ke Ruan is slightly relieved, although the situation is still not optimistic, but at least it is not so urgent and scary.

So she took a few steps back, bowed respectfully to Dugu Qiubai and said, "Ke Ruan pays homage to senior."

Dugu Qiubai laughed: "My senior, I am afraid that I have no reputation in the world."

He can still show a little weakness when he speaks, but even if he is dying, he is still the most terrifying and deepest sword in the world.

Ke Ruan said: "It is true that there are not many people who know the seniors, but I came here just because of the name."

Dugu Qiubai smiled and said, "Why do you have to come to me, an old man who is dying?"

Ke Ruan didn't answer this question directly, but asked instead: "A man who practices swords comes to you, do you need any other reasons?"

Dugu Qiubai was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Yes, there is no need for any other reasons, as long as she has a sword in her hand is enough.

After laughing, Dugu Qiubai showed a bit of melancholy: "It would be great if you were 30 years earlier."

Now that he is dying, even with the swordsmanship of Tongtian, he can't perform as well as one out of ten, but Dugu Qiubai sees that Ke Ruan may be a good opponent.

At her age, being able to practice such a sword can already be called a stunning talent. In time, she might not be able to become his opponent.

That's why he said that Ke Ruan came late, 30 years late.

In fact, it is more than 30 years.

Ke Ruan sighed: "If you die now, where will I find my opponent ten years from now?"

Dugu Qiubai sighed that she came 30 years late, but Ke Ruan also knew that after ten years, she might gradually feel the loneliness of Dugu Qiubai back then.

But now, she still has no choice but to seek victory.

Dugu Qiubai said: "If you challenge me for a sword competition, I am afraid that I will be difficult to be your opponent at this time."

Ke Ruan looked at him, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart.

But she knew that if she insisted on challenging at this time, Dugu Qiubai would not refuse her, even if it was true that as Dugu Qiubai said, his strength could not be fully utilized, but as a swordsman's bottom line, he would not reject her. Will reject Ke Ruan's challenge.

The mission requirements of the system are only for the mission target to at least exert more than 80.00% of her own strength, but there is no limit to what stage it is. If she comes early, Dugu Qiubai is only three years old, and the three-year-old kid will be beaten up Naturally, she has completed the task.

At this time, Dugu Qiubai is old, this is also a natural state, if she can win, the task will also be completed.

But Ke Ruan didn't want to win like this.

Ke Ruan was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Senior, do you believe that there are thaumaturgy medicines in this world that can change the destiny?"

Dugu Qiubai's eyes changed, and at that moment, Ke Ruan once again saw the unfathomable sword intent that almost made her bow her head.

But before Dugu Qiubai opened his mouth, the system issued a warning.

【Ke Ruan, are you crazy? ! 】

"I'm not crazy," Ke Ruan's tone was extremely calm: "Why should I go crazy when I'm working so hard?"

[Let’s not mention the efficacy of the medicine, but what I need to advise you is that even if Dugu Qiubai looks like he is going to die at any time, if you really fight him, the chance of winning is less than [-]%. If you help him Return to the peak, with Dugu Qiubai's current skill and realm, you will never have another chance. 】

"System," Ke Ruan's tone remained calm: "I don't seek victory, I only seek the joy of defeat."

She smiled softly: "If you can fight Dugu Qiubai with all your strength, what if you lose? Besides, isn't my balance still enough?"

Her balance is enough for her to fail a few more missions.

"Compared to exchanging for other things, there is no way of consumption that makes me happier."

The system is silent.

He remembered the time when he was in Lu Xiaofeng's world, Ke Ruan, Ye Gucheng, and Ximen Chuuxue at that time.

She never chooses the way of maximizing profit, just because she is at least a swordsman.

She is at least a swordsman.

The system shut up, and Ke Ruan said to Dugu Qiubai: "There is a miracle drug in the world, which can go against the sky and return to youth, but the effect of the drug is only three years. After three years, there is no cure but death."

Dugu Qiubai laughed and said, "I can't even live for three days now, and I still have a good opponent in front of me, who cares what will happen in three years' time?"

Ke Ruan also laughed: "Yes, who cares what will happen after three years."

[Ding, to exchange 'Fortune Rejuvenation' x1, you need to consume 5000 Jinjiang coins, do you want to exchange it? 】

"Yes."

Seeing that his balance decreased by [-] in an instant, and the elixir called Fortune Rejuvenation was also put into his backpack, Ke Ruan pretended to take out the small jade box from the cloth bag on his body. Begging to lose all spirits.

Ke Ruan watched the opponent's remaining life jump from eight hours to 48 hours.

She handed the elixir to Dugu Qiubai: "Its name is Fortune Rejuvenation. It is said that it is a magic elixir left by a hermit immortal, but because of its overbearing power, there is no other possibility of turning around after three years."

Dugu Qiubai didn't go to pick up the jade box, and when Ke Ruan was puzzled, Dugu Qiubai said: "I have no reason to refuse, but I also have no reason to accept it."

He really doesn't care whether he lives or dies after three years of medication, but he will not accept such a precious treasure lightly.

Ke Ruan said: "I have something to ask from my senior."

Dugu Qiubai looked at her, Ke Ruan looked at him without flinching, and said firmly: "What I am looking for is not panacea, power and money, what I am looking for is the supreme swordsmanship. Compared with this, this elixir It is worse than the fish eye in the dust, besides, is senior really not tempted?"

She asked Dugu for defeat: "We have three years, is senior really not interested in me?"

Dugu Qiubai finally reached out and took the jade box: "I will do my best for you for the next three years, and after three years, I only hope that I can die by the sword."

As far as he is concerned, he only wants one defeat in his life. Compared with dying on the bed, being able to die under the sword is not only not a regret for him, but it is the fulfillment of his long-cherished wish.

The elixirs given by the system are indeed very guaranteed. Although it seems a bit too black-hearted to cost [-] Jinjiang coins for one, but after Dugu Qiubai used it, the countdown to death jumped from an hour to three years in an instant, and when the first When Ke Ruan saw Dugu Qiubai again the next day, Dugu Qiubai even had a tendency to turn gray hair to black.

After a few more days, no one would be able to tell that he was an old man. At this time, Dugu Qiubai's hair was black and he looked like he was in his 30s.

From 30 to 40 years old, this is the peak state of a martial arts practitioner.

After the age of 40, although the skill has become more and more profound, the body has begun to decline. Even if the inner strength is deep and the method of health preservation is practiced, it is only to ensure that one's physical condition will not continue to decline.

Now Dugu Qiubai is in the best state no matter his skill or realm, but at this time he still has a young body, even if compared with himself, his strength is much stronger.

But this can only make Ke Ruan happy.

Because soon she followed Dugu Qiubai and settled down in this deep valley. As Dugu Qiubai said, Ke Ruan may have no rivals in the arena at this time, but this is far from enough in front of him. So he will definitely try his best to teach Ke Ruan.

Ke Ruan thought that he would learn the famous Dugu Nine Swords and the like, but he didn't know that there was no such thing.

When Ke Ruan brought it up on the sidelines, Dugu Qiubai bluntly regarded the so-called Dugu Nine Swords as inferior.

"That's all for the benefit of competing with others for weapon moves."

Although it is said that there is no move to win and there is a move, but in essence, it is still limited to the confrontation of moves and weapons.

"You don't need teaching at this point."

Ke Ruan thought about it and felt that it was right. The essence of Dugu Nine Swords is still to fight against others, or to break other people's moves, but Dugu Qiubai's realm at this time is far beyond this. In his opinion It is only used to compete with the Jianghu people, but it is not the way Ke Ruan seeks.

Ke Ruan couldn't help asking curiously: "Then what is Tao?"

Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng both regard the ruthless sword as their way, but this is not the way Ke Ruan seeks, and she cannot comprehend such a way.

Dugu Qiubai naturally does not agree with the ruthless swordsmanship: "The sword is the heart, all laws come from the same source, and all paths lead to the same goal. Do whatever you want, and don't stick to things. Only then can you become the way."

Deliberately being ruthless or deliberately being sentient has already fallen into the bottom and lost its naturalness.

But at this time, this is not what Dugu Qiubai wants to teach Ke Ruan. He is not polite to Ke Ruan's evaluation: "The sword moves have not yet been perfected, and the sword heart has not yet been practiced, so what do you want?"

Ke Ruan: "..."

All right, let's learn from Master honestly.

Yes, Master.

Ke Ruan felt that since Dugu Qiubai taught her, even though she was guiding her carefully from the standpoint of discovering a talented seedling and wanting to train her to be a future opponent, she should have called Dugu Qiubai a master in such a teaching. up.

Although the days of learning swords with Dugu Qiubai were dull, it was not hard work, and there were even many fun places.

For example, Dugu Qiubai would take her to play in the water.

The two masters and apprentices hit the waterfall with sword energy, and they splashed water on each other childishly and ridiculously like children.

Relying on the advantage of the weapon, Ke Ruan had the upper hand for a while, but when the water curtain fell, he found that Dugu Qiubai didn't even get wet at the corner of his clothes, and then the divine eagle sent his black iron heavy sword to him from nowhere. Come on, Dugu Qiubai just smiled at Ke Ruan, and swung his sword out, obviously it was a splash in a small stream under a small waterfall in the mountain, but the momentum and sword energy made Ke Ruan seem to be facing a huge wave , and she is just a small flat boat in the waves, there is no way to avoid it, no way to escape, and she will be sunk and swallowed by the huge waves in an instant.

When the water curtain fell, Ke Ruan's face was numb, drenched from head to toe, but Dugu Qiubai laughed loudly: "It's been a long time since I played so happily, I will take you to play in the sea when you have a small success in swordsmanship." Water, that's what makes it interesting."

Ke Ruan: "..."

People who are drenched in water don't find it interesting, do they?

But she understood that what prevented her from even taking a step was not the rising water, but the sword intent like a huge wave.

She was completely overwhelmed by the sword intent, unable to dodge even a single step.

Seeing the laughing Dugu Qiubai, Ke Ruan sighed deeply, thinking of Wang Lianhua, who taught her equally seriously, but also played with her, and deeply felt the pressure of finding a master to be her master.

Ke Ruan and Dugu Qiubai lived in the mountains for nearly half a year. During this period, Dugu Qiubai took her to climb trees and play in the water. Ke Ruan took it out for Dugu Qiubai to see.

Although this is the treasure book and secret book that martial arts practitioners in the world dream of, but for Dugu Qiubai, it is just a fun look at it. What he seeks is a sword, so naturally he does not stay for foreign objects.

Half a year later, Dugu Qiubai took Ke Ruan out of the valley and went to the seaside as he said before.

Now that the end of the year is approaching, their master and apprentice don't have to concentrate on thinking about the sword anymore. Dugu Qiubai has not had a secular life for many years, so he and Ke Ruan are very busy with the New Year after they live by the sea.

Of course, most of their so-called purchases for the New Year are the loot obtained by Dugu Qiubai after he rolled Ke Ruan in the sea in different ways.

Dugu Qiubai used to live by the sea, so he is good at handling seafood.

In the New Year, Ke Ruan gave him a string of shell wind chimes made by himself. It is not a delicate craftsmanship, but the shells can be said to be soaked in Ke Ruan's blood and tears splashing in the sea.

Dugu Qiubai said with a complicated expression: "I haven't celebrated the New Year like this for a long time."

Usually, he lived in the deep valley with the divine eagle, regardless of the seasons outside, he just wanted to be happy every day, but now he smiled after speaking, and unexpectedly brought out another gift for Ke Ruan, but it was a The finely crafted pearl flower hairpin, although the pearls on it are not big, they are full and round, and the workmanship is really delicate and delicate, it is simply extremely cute.

Dugu Qiubai put the pearl hairpin on Ke Ruan's head. Just as Ke Ruan wanted to thank him, he heard Dugu Qiubai say: "Speaking of which, you fished these from the sea these days. When I see a good pearl, I will give it to you." I left it, and now it’s just in use.”

Ke Ruan: "..."

Well, not only the things she gave Dugu Qiubai were full of her own blood and tears, even the things Dugu Qiubai gave her were also full of her blood and tears.

Ke Ruan refused to think about how he came back from thumping in the waves these days like a dead dog.

but……

"Master doesn't mean that you made this hairpin yourself?" Ke Ruan looked at Dugu Qiubai in surprise, "I didn't even know you had such a skill."

This meticulous workmanship and exquisite design, cute and round girly style, it's too scary to put it on Dugu Qiubai, okay?

Dugu Qiubai said: "When I was young, my family was not very rich. I learned all kinds of crafts in order to make a living. Although it is hard work to be an apprentice, I still have a living. The first time I held a sword was because I gave it to a blacksmith. Being an apprentice, the skill of making hairpins seems to have been learned from various places when I was young. At that time, I felt that the life of a young man was difficult and rough, but now I think about it, but I still yearn for it."

Ke Ruan reached out to touch the hairpin on her head, her mood was complicated because she had never experienced such a life.

When she was first pulled in by the system, she looked like a child, penniless, and had no parents or relatives. She should have lived a life of hardships, but she was lucky and was directly picked up by Sister Gongsun Back home, although the life in Yiyinglou is not luxurious, but everything is fine in food and clothing, and the younger disciples are also given a small amount of monthly money, which is enough for them to buy some snacks for themselves when they go to Yangzhou City with the older senior sisters every month And so on, it can be said that life is quite nourishing without worrying about food and clothing.

Hearing what Dugu Qiubai said at this time, Ke Ruan only felt complicated.

Such a childhood forced by livelihood, but Dugu Qiubai has already achieved swordsmanship at a young age, and none of the heroes in Heshuo is his opponent. Thinking about it this way, Ke Ruan feels a little ashamed.

Dugu Qiubai stopped talking about these things, and started drinking the wine Ke Ruan bought.

Inevitably he began to grow weak in his old age, and it was a long time since he had drunk so briskly.

This is Ke Ruan's surprise.

Both Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng seem to think that drinking is not a good thing for a swordsman, and even more than that, their daily life is quite restrained. Dugu Qiubai is completely different, he seems to be free and free, and he can do whatever he wants did it.

Just as I was thinking so, I heard a familiar and hearty laughter from outside: "I'm late!"

As soon as Ke Ruan heard it, he knew it was Hong Qi.

Because of looking for Dugu Qiubai, Ke Ruan and Hong Qi have never lost contact. After finding Dugu Qiubai, they naturally have to tell Hong Qi. Now that New Year, Hong Qi is also alone and has no family, but he came all the way to Ke Ruan. Nguyen is here.

Ke Ruan couldn't help asking him: "Supposedly there should be a lot of things going on with the Beggar Clan at this time, if you don't save it for your Clan Master to help, why did you come to me?"

Hong Qidao: "It was not easy to disturb the deep valley before, but now senior Dugu has entered the secular world, how can I not come to see him? Even the leader of the sect has nothing to say about it."

As he spoke, he sniffed, his eyes lit up and he said, "There's good wine!"

Dugu Qiubai glanced at him, but he was merciless: "There are good wines, but I'm afraid your ulterior motives are not in the wine."

Hong Qi suddenly felt guilty.

Ke Ruan looked at Hong Qi and then at Dugu Qiubai, thinking that Dugu Qiubai is not such an unfriendly person.

Dugu Qiubai said: "Brother Diao is going to catch a few pheasants and rabbits, and it's about time to come back now. If you have time, go and help him deal with it."

Ke Ruan nodded, the divine eagle was psychic, this time Ke Ruan and Dugu Qiubai both gave him some small things, but he had nothing to give to a big eagle, so he ran to catch prey to give them extra meals.

After Ke Ruan walked out, Hong Qi looked at Dugu Qiubai in embarrassment: "Well, senior..."

Dugu Qiubai said: "I know what you are thinking, but since you have the intention, why are you hiding it and refusing to explain it to her?"

He always does things according to his heart, and he doesn't care about secular etiquette when he asks this question at this time.

Hong Qi didn't feel offended, but smiled wryly: "What can I say to her, not to mention that she doesn't have this heart, but she does. Is it possible that I want her to suffer with me, a beggar?"

When we met for the first time, Hong Qi knew that Ke Ruan must be used to living a wealthy life just by looking at his clothes, but if he really had something to do with him, he would have to suffer with beggars in the future, so how could he say that again? What?

but……

"It's the first time I've met senior, and senior is truly astute."

Dugu Qiubai glanced at him: "You are calling out one by one senior, don't you really think that I am not young?"

Hong Qi: "..._(:зゝ∠)_"

But Dugu Qiubai said: "Actually, this is a good thing for you and her."

Ke Ruan never told him what would happen three years later, but it is impossible for Dugu Qiubai to have no premonition, so it is really not a bad thing for Hong Qi to say this.

Of course, Dugu Qiubai would not tell Hong Qi the vague guesses in his heart, he just glanced up and down at Hong Qi, and said: "Don't say that the family backgrounds don't match, this skill will soon be unmatched .”

Hong Qi knew that these words were not sarcasm, the meaning behind these words was the attitude that Dugu Qiubai wanted to convey to him, and he probably had other deep meanings when he said these words.

So when Ke Ruan came back, Hong Qi had already had a drink with Dugu Qiubai. It's really a joy to drink.

Hong Qi didn't stay here for too long at Ke Ruan's place. During the New Year, the affairs of the Beggars' Clan were really busy. As the sure-fire next-generation leader of the Clan, it was not easy for him to disappear.

On the second day, Dugu Qiubai called Ke Ruan over, and said with a serious face, "I have something to entrust to you."

Ke Ruan was taken aback.

Dugu Qiubai said: "You and I both know that I only have more than two years left. Brother Diao has been with me for half of my life. I have never found a suitable person to entrust him to take care of him, but now I want to entrust him to you."

Outsiders seem to have a pet between him and the eagle, but Dugu Qiubai knows that the eagle is his friend, and they are also close friends. The eagle is psychic, but in the end he is still an animal, and Dugu Qiubai Naturally, he was a little worried. When he faced death before, although he had regrets in his heart, he was calm. The only thing he was worried about was the big eagle.

The Divine Condor at the side seemed to understand something when he heard Dugu Qiubai's words. He yelled a few times in a low voice, feeling attached to Dugu Qiubai, but he didn't show any resistance.

Dugu Qiubai smiled and patted his wings: "If I die, wouldn't you be a lonely bird? Isn't it a good thing to have someone to accompany you now?"

After finishing speaking, he asked Ke Ruan again: "What do you think?"

[Ding, Dugu Qiubai wants to give you the pet 'Shen Diao' as a gift, do you accept it? 】

[After accepting, the divine sculpture will form a contract with the host, and can be included in the pet bar, and go to the mission world with the host. 】

Ke Ruan: "..."

She hesitated for a while and finally nodded: "Brother Diao and I are also friends, if we can have him by our side, we won't be afraid of being alone in the future."

[Ding, congratulations to the host for getting the pet 'Divine Condor', the contract has been fulfilled, now the host can put it in the pet bar to follow. 】

[Ding, the achievement 'Excalibur and Condor' has been achieved, and the special effect title 'Condor Hero' is rewarded. After wearing it, the intimacy of animals increases by 5%, and the speed of obtaining qualifications in the world increases by 5%]

Ke Ruan: "..."

How can you be so good at the system?

Have you considered Yang Guo's feelings?

【No. 】

The author has something to say: Dugu Qiubai: Beggars still want to have love?

Hong Qi: QAQ
