Chapter 433: Sad Past
"Brother ruthless, when that child died, my mother's heart was broken, my mother only has a treasure son like you, you can't do anything anyway, if you have three long and two short, my mother will not live. Liniang held Brother Ruthless in her arms, and the mother and son cried together.
Emperor Zhuan opened his arms, hugged his wife with one hand, and his son with the other, and hugged them tightly to his chest, which was a rare treasure for him in this world.
Brother ruthless was lying on the bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, and his father's words kept echoing in his mind:
"Son, today my father and mother told you these things that you don't want to mention, just to let you know that things are often not as simple as you think, do you know? After your third uncle died, the clan found out that the Gonggong clan colluded with some snipers, so that the sniper turned into a gopher to approach our clan and steal and eavesdrop on our clan's intelligence, so everything has nothing to do with your third uncle at all.
Your third uncle is innocent, but after his death, he is still called a traitor by his clansmen! This is how the world is, no one thinks about why your third uncle killed and injured his clansmen, they only remember that he married a co-worker woman and wanted to break away from the family, so they think that even if he is called a traitor, it is not wronged to him.
You are still young and don't know how to weigh the weight, as long as you make a wrong step, even if you don't have the intention of harming others, you can't stand such a hat on your head! This time the matter of the nine-tailed sky fox is just that, you must discuss with your parents first when you interact with foreigners in the future, you know?"
Over the years, although my father was very sympathetic to the third uncle in his heart, he, like the clansmen, regarded the third uncle as a traitor who colluded with the co-workers, thinking that the third uncle was to blame for all this.
After listening to his parents tell him the truth of the matter, he couldn't tell if the third uncle was wrong? He really didn't betray his clansmen, he just wanted to live a life on the ground, which was very strange in the eyes of his clansmen, but it was his own choice.
Shouldn't everyone have the freedom to choose? When the people of the tribe want to go to a distant land and build a new home, are they not all blessed by the tribe?
Why can't the third uncle alone? He really had a relationship with the co-workers, and he married a co-worker woman. If you associate with the co-workers but don't betray the clansmen, is it considered guilty? Brother Ruthless can't figure out this question.
Although Brother Ruthless was warned by his parents, he was not worried about his own affairs at all, anyway, he would never interact with the co-workers, but it was the matter of the third uncle that made him more worried, he rolled around in the bed, and finally fell asleep with his tail in his mouth.
Brother Ruthless woke up suddenly, he lifted the quilt and sat up, sweat dripping on his face. Just now he dreamed of the same dream he had more than thirty years ago, in the dream, the third uncle was running away, he was running in the woods on the ground, and suddenly, the Emperor appeared with a long sword shining with cold light in his hand...... At this time, Brother Ruthless saw a baby......
"That kid...... Brother Yu'er ......" Brother Ruthless sat on the edge of the bed and muttered, "Why did I dream of that child?"
The "child" in the mouth of the Emperor Zhuan, if the baby is still alive, it should be about the same age as himself, if he grows up, I don't know if he should call him a cousin or a cousin?
"But he is dead, less than two months old, and your third uncle, though he has exchanged his own life, has not been able to keep the child alive. And he died in Liniang's arms, so did he suck his mother's milk with him and lie on the same cot together?
"Poor third uncle, poor Brother Yu......" Brother Yu's tears slid down, "Poor Brother Yu'er's co-working mother...... Poor family of three......"
Although he hadn't slept well all night and his eyes were red and swollen from crying, his eyes were originally red, so he couldn't see it at all, and he still came to Bai Bizhu on time.
Bai Bizhu looked him up and down, didn't say anything, just felt that his appearance was a little strange, so he lightly ordered: "Let's start." ”
"Yes. Brother Ruthless agreed, but his eyes swept through the hole.
Judging from the situation in the cave, Bai Bizhu obviously doesn't live here these days.
Several simple utensils in the cave, including Bai Yang's daily cooking utensils and the stone couch he used to meditate, were covered in a layer of dust. Knowing that Bai Yang would not come back so soon, Brother Ruthless still secretly hoped to see him soon.
For more than ten years, he and Bai Yang met every day and accepted his teachings, and unconsciously his dependence on Bai Yang was even beyond his imagination.
Ever since he learned about his third uncle yesterday, he had a stomach full of things he wanted to talk to someone, but he couldn't say it to his parents and friends, let alone in front of his clansmen, and the first person he remembered to confide in was Bai Yang, a human being who was like a teacher, an elder, and a friend.
"Brother ruthless!" Bai Bizhu's voice became very stern, and Brother Ruthless's thoughts had already flown to the Nine Heavens.
"Mr. Bai, yes, I'm sorry!" Brother Ruthless immediately stood straight and admitted his mistake loudly.
"You're undecided, how can you learn," Bai Bizhu waved his hand, "That's it, come back tomorrow." ”
"No, Mr. Bai, I must learn today!" Brother Ruthless pleaded loudly, "Please teach me!
"Oh, you can learn, what a big tone, Brother Bai has repeatedly said that you are smart, I want to see how smart you are. ”
Bai Bizhu took Brother Ruthless out of the cave and began to explain to him the basic principles of the Nine-Tailed Fox Illusion.
The nine-tailed fox's illusion is very different from other spells, in terms of regulating internal breath and luck when using it, it is very different from what Brother Ruthless has learned before. Brother Ruthless listened and remembered, the only feeling in the whole morning was dizziness, and all the confidence in his original stomach disappeared.
Brother Ruthless cooked tea and cooked rice, and after serving Bai Bizhu well first, he finished eating and drinking, and then he sat under a big camphor tree outside the cave with a bowl, and ate without a bite.
Because he only had seven days to learn spells, Brother Ruthless had already told his family that he would not go back for a few days and live on the ground and practice seriously. Although Emperor Zhuan and Li Niang didn't quite agree, the clansmen supported him, so they had to let him go.
"If you don't learn it after seven days, you really don't have the face to go back......" Brother Ruthless sighed and thought bitterly.
Bai Bizhu sat cross-legged in the cave, kept looking at Brother Ruthless, and nodded secretly. This morning he wasn't so much teaching Brother Ruthless as he was deliberately making things difficult for him.
What he explained to Brother Ruthless was all the most profound things in illusion, instead of teaching in the order from simple to difficult, from shallow to deep, he wanted to see Brother Ruthless retreat in the face of difficulties, but he didn't expect Brother Ruthless to grit his teeth and memorize by rote, and learned everything he taught.
I don't know how much he understood, but this kid should be able to learn illusions...... It's just that he's so clever that he's afraid he'll be jealous of creation.
Brother Ruthless sat under the tree very depressed, frowning and pulling at the grass leaves, when suddenly a grasshopper jumped on his fingers, stared at him for a long time, and finally stepped on his knee and jumped away.
Brother Ruthless hugged his knees and exhaled, and lay on the ground after being in a daze for a while. He looked up at the clear blue sky, the fluttering white clouds, these still made him very unaccustomed, he only looked at it for a while, and then he felt dizzy, so he closed his eyes, and his mind kept circling: "What if I can't learn?"
"Are you going to give up?" Bai Bizhu's voice came coldly from Brother Ruthless's head. Brother Ruthless opened his eyes, and Bai Bizhu was looking down at him.
"You've just been studying for a morning, and you want to give up?"
"Who said that!" Brother Ruthless immediately jumped up from the ground, "I'm just closing my eyes and recuperating and reviewing the spells you taught by the way." ”
"If you are young, close your eyes, raise your spirits, get up, and continue to practice. ”
"Yes!" replied loudly.
Grandpa spent a lot of effort to win this opportunity for himself, how could he give up halfway, how could he let this nine-tailed fox old man look down on himself?
"Practice!" Brother Ruthless gritted his teeth and made up his mind unconvinced, "I don't believe that I can't learn! I don't believe that the nine-tailed fox is so much smarter than our people!"
The sunset was half gone, the remnants were like blood, the birds threw themselves into the forest, and Brother Ruthless sat on a towering tree and saw wisps of cooking smoke floating in a small village at the foot of the forest. It was the first time he had been on the ground for such a long time, and it was also the first time he had seen the sunset and seen the change from day to night.
This is different from the tranquility and eternity of the land that ordinary people imagine, because the land is also changing. It may take decades or even centuries to see some obvious traces, but the changes on the earth are so fast that every second is different.
When the sunset completely sank to the horizon, the earth suddenly fell into darkness, I don't know why, Brother Ruthless shivered when he saw this, and there was an indescribable fear in his heart.
The silent night on the earth was brighter than any time underground, and he often came to the surface at night, but at the moment when the sun went down, his heart suddenly tightened, as if something had seized him, and he jumped down from the tree and rushed into the cave.
Gradually, the light on all objects disappeared, and the world was completely plunged into darkness. Brother Ruthless finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Darkness was nothing to him, but the ever-changing light made him uneasy. He scanned everything in the hole and tugged at the straw mat on the stone bed: "Alas, let's sleep......"
The uneven stone bed was cold and hard, the straw mat was uncomfortable with the skin all the time, and the sound of the wind, the roar of wild beasts, and the sound of startled birds coming in from outside the cave......
"Ah...... How can people sleep like this!" Brother Ruthless covered his ears and jumped up.
For the ruthless brother, who is accustomed to sleeping in a warm and quiet underground, it is like sleeping in a cage full of noise, and he can't sleep at all.
He sat for a long time with his brow on his brow and his knees folded, and then suddenly he had an idea, and he turned himself into the ground, leaving only his head on the ground, and an empty jar over his head, and finally lay down comfortably to sleep.
Not only is it warmer and less noisy, but it's also a practice of what I've said about spending the night on the ground, and the dock is exposed on the ground.
I finally found a solution, studied hard all day, and tossed again and again until the middle of the night, and now the ruthless brother finally fell asleep.
It was almost midnight, and a footstep seemed to gently enter the hole.
Brother Ruthless was half-asleep, and he couldn't open his eyes for a while, and seemed to hear Bai Bizhu's surprised voice in his sleep: "Why are you back again?"
"Who's back?" thought Brother Ruthless in a daze.
"Count yourself lucky this time, in case you ...... once" Bai Bizhu's voice was very stern, as if he was reprimanding someone.
"Woo woo woo ......" Brother Ruthless muttered in his dream, "Mr. Bai, I know what I was wrong...... Although I don't know what I did wrong in my dream, I still admit my mistake first.
"If it is really good for him, stay away from him! I will keep my promise and take care of his ...... for the rest of my life."
The other man did not say anything.
"Didn't you say you were going to live in the human world......?
"Who? who is going to the human world, is it crazy?" Brother Ruthless was startled in his dream.
"Alas......" After a long time, the other sighed deeply.
