Chapter 50, Death
As soon as he got out of the library building, the firewood puppet grabbed Bai Gu's big sleeve and waved, and flew straight into the sky, and several disciples who came in and out below all looked at the two, and a middle-aged man wearing a crown ran out of the library, "You two ......" The words were not spoken, and the two figures in the sky were no longer there.
The firewood puppet flew to Erji Peak with Bai Gu at great speed, Bai Gu felt that his arm was about to be broken by the firewood puppet, and shouted a few times halfway, but the firewood puppet was silent, and his face was very dark, until he flew back to Erji Peak and landed in Wanqing's courtyard, Bai Gu was freed.
The Chai puppet didn't turn his head, he walked directly towards the Wanqing House, and when he entered the door, he said to Bai Gu in a cold voice, "Just wait for me here, you don't have to come in!"
Bai Gu's body that wanted to lean forward stiffly froze in place, listening to the door "knock ~ crunch" closing, his footsteps took half a step forward, and he stood speechless.
"What kind of anger is this?"
Sitting on the stone platform outside the house and waiting for half an hour, Bai Gu had been guessing what was wrong, suddenly, his ears shook slightly, Bai Gu looked back, the door of the house was still closed, but there were waves of vibrations inside.
"Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~Knock~"
The sound slowly became louder, and the vibration became more and more intense each time, looking at some small gravel on the ground around him trembling and jumping, Bai Gu thought to himself, this could not be that there were stone piles connected to the entire underground and happened to be smashed by the firewood puppet, right?
The ground tremor did not last long, the shaking stopped after half a quarter, Wan Qing's door was slowly opened by the wood puppet, it was this small half an hour of effort, Bai Gu found that it was that steady and solid face, at this moment, there was no original appearance, only gray and sad, as if the dearest friend died suddenly, his heart had no center of gravity, like the feathers out of the wings, and he could no longer float.
"From today on, the firewood puppet is Wanqing, and Wanqing is the firewood puppet, Senior Brother Bai, do you remember?"
There were no loud words, no impassionedness, with a hint of firmness in the chai puppet, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he slightly grabbed Bai Gu's hand and stared at Bai Gu and said lightly.
Bai Gu was shocked for a while, and felt inexplicable in his heart, which one was this. He asked in a low voice, "Okay, huh......?" Senior Brother Chai, what are you?"
The Chai puppet only listened to Bai Gu's question, and his originally gloomy face became pleasant.
"Good. The golem forced a smile.
"You wait here, I'll go find Senior Brother Mo, and then I'll arrange some things for the two of you. ”
After saying that, the chai puppet paced in the air and flew out directly, it should be looking for ink light.
Bai Gu stood there dumbfounded, always feeling like something big was going to happen, but he couldn't imagine what could affect the firewood puppet like that, and what was the word 'good' that he said at the end?
It didn't take long for Mo Guang to come back with a bitter face and was carried back by the firewood puppet.
"Really, it's fierce over there, this big guy has to pull me back, senior brother, it turns out that you are also here!"
Mo Guang complained and approached Bai Gu's side, and after the firewood puppet landed, he didn't stop, and walked directly towards Wan Qing's house, approached the door, and said, "You two also come in." ”
Bai Gu and Mo Guang followed and walked in.
The room was almost exactly the same as the last time he came, but somehow, Bai Gu saw the firewood golem walking directly towards a wall, and was about to remind him to hit his head, only to see the firewood golem's entire body disappear directly into the wall.
"Is this all right?" Mo Guang was dumbfounded, and when he came back to his senses, he quickly ran forward and touched the wall with his hand, his hand actually passed directly through the wall, turned around and waved to Bai Gu, Mo Guang turned around and walked in.
Bai Gu didn't hesitate, guessing in his heart that this should be the appearance of some kind of formation, and followed in.
The moment he entered, Bai Gu's eyes darkened, his footsteps stopped, and then the dazzling light shot into his eyes, he naturally closed his eyes and took two steps forward.
"Senior brother, open your eyes. ”
Hearing Mo Guang's words, Bai Gu opened his eyes and looked again, the surrounding scenery had changed greatly, he was in a square crystal pavilion, the crystals were arranged in an orderly manner, and the blue and red qi in it fluttered like a rootless fire, this space was even smaller than a normal room, and Mo Guang and the wood puppet were standing in front of him.
I only heard the calm voice of the Chai puppet say: "There is almost nothing in this secret room, only this life soul lamp. As he spoke, he gave way to the half-man-high lampstand behind him.
Bai Gu and Mo Guang looked at it, only a wrist-thick lamppost was placed on an iron and gold disc, this was an ordinary lampstand, but the blue-red triangular lamp that had been extinguished on it was indeed extraordinary, floating steadily on the lampstand, that was the life soul lamp that the chai puppet said.
"Whose soul lamp is this?" Mo Guang stepped forward to touch it.
"Your senior brother, my benefactor and old friend, Wan Qing. Chai Golem said solemnly.
"Huh?" Moguang's hand that was about to touch out stopped unnaturally.
Bai Gu was taken aback, and a series of conjectures instantly germinated in his heart.
Bai Gu and Mo Guang both looked at the wood puppet, the so-called life soul lamp is to condense a wisp of his soul in the lamp, everyone knows that he is used to observe the life and death of people, and now that this life soul lamp has been extinguished, it means that the master is dead.
"This ...... Is this Senior Brother Wan's Soul Lamp?" Mo Guang couldn't believe it, and asked the Chai puppet again in a trembling voice.
Bai Gu judged based on a series of circumstances before the Chai Golem, even if he didn't believe it, that thing should be the truth.
The chai puppet didn't answer again, and in the small secret room, the three people were speechless.
"Woo~" Two lines of tears flowed down the little neck, staring at the lamp and wiping tears.
Bai Gu also felt a sadness coming out of his heart, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye, and then the whole eye socket was moist, and he had read a lot of books on life and death in the past few years, and there was no second explanation for the extinguishing of the soul lamp except for human death.
Things happened in such a trance, and his heart was like a thorn in his heart at the moment, Bai Gu never thought that the senior brother who was full of spring breeze and soft and elegant when he first met left him like this.
I still remember the sentence that Senior Brother Wan shook his head and said to himself when they first met, "It's not good to be white." "What kind of demeanor is it, such a character will die when he says he will die, Bai Gu has already shed tears.
Many Taoist books say that people who cultivate the spirit and ask the Tao are the most taboo of the word 'love', but in Bai Gu's opinion, which person in this world is really ruthless, but it is just a fake word said by those so-called masters in order to interpret 'Tao ruthless', he has been dependent on his grandfather since he was a child, and he values the family affection the most, even if he doesn't say that Wan Qing is a senior brother of the same family, the grace of carefully teaching Taoism is not enough to repay himself.
"How could he die, how could he die, who hurt him?" Mo Guang suddenly clenched his fists and asked fiercely, his eyes were full of anger.
