Chapter 3 The Chief of the Sycamore Road
The scenes of that year flashed in the old man's mind, and he still couldn't believe that the senior brother would personally stab the sword into his back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
If he hadn't been plotted, the palace rebellion more than ten years ago would definitely not have happened.
Although he did not want to participate in the palace infighting, he would never allow the destruction of human beings to happen. After he was plotted, he was chased and killed by his senior brother, and finally escaped by luck.
The old man was very sad, he regretted that he had not been able to prevent this from happening, "I really regret it, if I hadn't been plotted by them, I would never have let this happen." ”
Di Mei was very surprised, but he didn't expect that this old man was really the junior brother of the national teacher, looking at the old man's regret and heartbroken appearance, Di Mei asked carefully: "Can you tell me about the situation at that time?" ”
The old man wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and told Di Mei about the situation back then:
When my master was still alive, I knew that my senior brother Chu Yun was very ambitious, and there was a master to discipline him at that time, so my senior brother still had some restraint. After the master died, the senior brother became the head, and I traveled all over the world, ignoring the affairs of the master at all.
The senior brother later accepted the prince Lin Nianzhen as an apprentice, and the senior brother and Lin Nianzhen both were ambitious people, and the senior brother used Lin Nianzhen's appeal to recruit a large number of people and create the Mixed Yuan Sect. Once they were strong, they began to plot a rebellion.
When I came back, I found that the strength of the sect had grown, and I was happy for a while.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, when I knew that my senior brother was actually trying to help Lin Nianzhen rebel, I began to persuade my senior brother not to do big rebellious things, and my senior brother told me on the surface that there was no such thing, saying that this was because people with intentions couldn't see us strong and deliberately spread rumors to deny us. At the time, I believed it and didn't ask again.
Later, their influence developed into the royal palace, and some of the ministers and generals in the palace became congregational. Later, the important ministers around the queen had accidents one after another, and they were either removed from office or disappeared. Others talked about Lin Nianzhen and his master, and I couldn't sit still anymore after hearing the rumors, so I went to him to question.
Unexpectedly, this time the senior brother actually admitted that they did it, and wanted to persuade me to conspire with me. I didn't agree, he was my senior brother, and I didn't want to offend him, so I ended up breaking up.
Later, my brother came to me several times and tried to pull me into rebellion, but I refused. The last time Senior Brother and Lin Nianzhen looked for me to no avail, when I was unprepared, Senior Brother drew his sword from behind and stabbed me in the back. After stabbing me badly, they joined forces against me. If I hadn't been injured, even if they had joined forces, they wouldn't be my opponents.
Seriously injured, I couldn't beat them, and escaped from the division where I had lived for decades. They chased me all the way, hurt me more and more, God has eyes, and finally let me get away with it.
When the old man finished speaking, his mood could not be calm, and his heart was very hateful and sad.
Maybe he was so excited that he kept coughing.
Eventually, a mouthful of blood spat out, and the corners of his mouth and beard were covered in blood.
Di Mei saw the old man vomiting blood, and said worriedly: "Are you okay, why did you vomit blood?" ”
The old man wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth and sighed, "This is the root of the disease that fell after being seriously injured back then, and I will vomit blood when I am excited, and my injury has not healed yet." ”
Di Mei didn't understand a little, but he was very depressed, why didn't the old man's injury recover for more than ten years? "Are you badly injured? Why is it so difficult to treat? ”
"I was hurt by them, and it was difficult to heal it." The old man sighed and coughed again.
Di Mei said angrily: "They are too ruthless, they actually want to kill them along with their junior disciples." "What the sect leader and the national teacher have done is too despicable.
The old man said helplessly: "Over the years, I have tried every means to recover from the injury, but it has no effect, and the injury is getting worse and worse. "The old man came here ten years ago to look for opportunities to recover from his injuries, but the results were not ideal.
Suddenly, Di Mei remembered the place where she fell just now, there were many trees that had withered, I don't know what was going on, could it have anything to do with this old man? Di Mei said with a question: "I don't understand something, there are many trees around here that have withered, do you know what's going on?" ”
After listening to Di Mei's words, the old man said a little embarrassed: "The source of life of these trees has been absorbed by me, and I originally planned to use this to recover from my injuries, maybe I did this to hurt Tianhe, and the injuries not only did not improve, but showed signs of deterioration. Little girl, after talking for so long, you haven't told me what your name is. ”
Di Mei scratched his head, and then said, "My name is Di Mei." ”
The old man looked at the teddy dog in front of him, smiled and said, "It turns out that your name is Dimei, Di, the teddy dog, beautiful beauty, this name is good." My name is Wutong, and everyone else calls me Wutong Taoist. ”
Hearing the old man say that his name was Wutong Dao Chief, Di Mei remembered that Yaya and Xiyue's master was a Dao Chief, and it seemed that he went to Longjiao Peak to look for healing elixir after being injured, could it be that this old man was Yaya and Xiyue's master?
"Daoist Wutong, have you ever taken two cats as apprentices before?" Di Mei wanted to confirm the thoughts in his heart, and he felt that this Dao chief might be the master of Yaya and Xiyue, and there should be no such coincidence in the world. Di Mei's experience of listening to Wutong Daoist is similar to the experience of Yaya talking about his master at the beginning.
Hearing Di Mei ask about his two apprentices, Wutong Daoist unconsciously showed a kind smile on his face, "Of course I have accepted them, they were all encountered after I was seriously injured, I thought they were interesting, so I opened their minds and accepted them as apprentices, it turns out that you and my two apprentices who are not angry know each other." The Taoist Chief's answer was exactly as Di Mei thought, he was really the master of Yaya and Xiyue.
"Yaya and Shioduk miss you so much, they often talk to me about you." Now that he knew that Daoist Wutong was the master of Yaya and Xiyue, Di Mei's tone when he spoke to the old man also became respectful.
"How did you meet my two apprentices? They didn't bully you. Wutong Daoist asked Di Mei with a smile.
Di Mei told the story of meeting Yaya with Xiaomeng on the night they went up the mountain, and then told the story of how they and Yaya and his wife dealt with Tumi. In the end, Di Mei was a little embarrassed and told the story of how Yaya and his wife taught it spells.
When Daoist Wutong heard that Yaya and Xiyue had accepted Di Mei as an apprentice, he laughed so much that his beard trembled, "I didn't expect these two lazy cats to accept apprentices, it's really embarrassing for them, it seems that they haven't been lazy in the years I've been there." ”
"Of course they're not lazy, they get up on time every morning to practice spells." Di Mei hurriedly explained, for fear that Daoist Wutong would not know that Yaya and Xiyue were very diligent.
"It's good that I'm not lazy, if I can recover from my injuries, I'll go back and test their cultivation results in the past few years." Wutong Daoist laughed, mentioning his two apprentices, the sadness just now had long been forgotten.
