In the afternoon of the next day, Qiu Yinming borrowed a book from Wuwei, looked at it absentmindedly, and suddenly heard Wuwei's voice outside the house: "Master, you are back!" He hurriedly put down the book, somehow became nervous, got up and sorted out his clothes, a little overwhelmed, and settled down before going out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he walked down the bamboo building, Qiu Yinming finally saw the master of Wuwei.

It's a little different from what he imagined. In front of him is a Taoist in his fifties, upright and thin, with light eyebrows and eyes, and no outstanding Taoist. The Taoist carried a bamboo basket on his back, a small green donkey behind him, and two sacks. Wu Wei stepped forward to lead the donkey, pointed at Qiu Yinming and said to Daodao: "Master, he was shipwrecked and drifted here two days ago. ”

Qiu Yinming hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Dao Chief, it's polite." The younger generation's surname is Qiu, and there have been many disturbances in the past two days. Thank you for your care. ”

The Taoist looked at him for a long time and asked lightly, "Where are you from?" ”

Qiu Yinming said respectfully: "The younger generation temporarily lives in Sulu, and this time I was going to Guangzhou by boat, but I was caught in a typhoon and capsized halfway. Daodao: "It's not difficult to go to Guangzhou, if the weather is good tomorrow, let Wuwei send you to Yazhou Mansion to take a boat." After that, he said to Wuwei: "You pack up your things and come to my house." So saying, he went upstairs.

Seeing that the Taoist was cold, Qiu Yinming was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do when he stood there for a while. Seeing that the master was gone, Wuwei leaned over and said softly: "Actually, my master is very good, but sometimes he is like this on the surface. Don't care. I'll talk to him later. Let you ......" Before the words were finished, Qiu Yinming said: "Forget it." It's time for me to go, too. ”

In the afternoon, Qiu Yinming sat on the beach for a long time, until Wuwei came to ask him to go back to dinner.

The two sat opposite each other in Wuwei's room, Wuwei ate a few mouthfuls of food, and seeing that Qiu Yinming didn't speak, he hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "I told the master." But ......" Qiu Yinming smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing." I'm going back to home, too. Wuwei was a little embarrassed, and said, "However, Master said that you ...... you."

"What do you say about me?" Qiu Yinming was curious, that Dao person didn't know him, what could he say.

"He said that you, a murderer, a person in the sea of suffering in the third life, can't enter the Daomen."

Qiu Yinming was shocked when he heard it, and he didn't know how people could say this, but it seemed to be really meaningful when he thought about it.

The meal was very depressing. The words of the Taoist, like a spell, lingered in Qiu Yinming's mind for a long time that night. Many past events are presented in a hurry, and dreams are reversed.

In a trance, he returned to the twilight of a few months ago when he and the Black Shark's fleet had confronted each other at sea. The sky and the sea were all fiery red, and he was holding a blood-stained single knife in his hand, and hideous-looking pirates were constantly pouring in front of him. He slashed with his sword, and the enemies fell to the ground, but in the blink of an eye, they all got up again. Some only have half a head, and their brains are bursting, some are missing arms and legs, and they jump and jump at him, and some are disemboweled, dragging their intestines and laughing at him. The blood in his heart boiled in great fear, and he went crazy and slew at these unrecognizable demons, and a piece of flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Suddenly, the waves of the sea churned, everything dissipated like an illusion, and the mountain village of his childhood appeared in front of him.

The trees and grass were as green as dripping, and across the brook at the door, his mother was smiling and waving to him. He ran to her with joy, but could not reach her. As he ran, the green around him gradually faded, and suddenly out of the void many people with various weapons surrounded him. Those people had no faces, but they kept babbling and saying things he didn't understand.

The mother's figure grew farther and farther away, and he screamed and rushed forward, cutting down the faceless men, but more people gathered around. He exerted all his strength, and the more he fought, the more courageous he became. As the people around me gradually dissipated like foam, the eyes became brighter. In front of it was a small temple, and my mother was fighting with a group of people.

He cried out, "You all come at me! All coming at me! Under the shouting, a group of people suddenly dissipated, and all that remained was the back of the mother in front of the ruined temple. A flash of joy rose in his heart, and he ran quickly towards his mother. But suddenly, the small temple was ablaze, and the mother's back was blurred in the flames.

Joy was instantly swallowed up by fear and sorrow, and the flames spread rapidly, and there was already a sea of fire around him, with no edge in sight. The ground shook, the ground cracked under his feet, and he looked down, it was a dark abyss...... At this time, the hand was grasped, and a voice came from the ear: "Wake up, wake up." ”

It turned out to be a dream. Qiu Yinming opened his eyes and saw Wuwei beside the bed, looking nervous. Wuwei said: "You are having a nightmare. Qiu Yinming realized that his face was full of tears and sweat soaked his clothes.

Wiping the sweat and continuing to sleep, but he couldn't sleep anymore. After a long while, suddenly Wuwei said softly: "Are you asleep?" ”

"Can't sleep."

"Well, let's talk. What did you dream about just now? ”

"Things to do when I was a kid. My mother. ”

"Then tell me about your mother."

Qiu Yinming has never mentioned these things to anyone, but now when he talks about Wuwei, it doesn't seem to be unnatural.

"My mother's martial arts are very good. She grew up in Hangzhou, had a very famous master, and several brothers. And she seems to have been famous since she was very young. Later, I don't know what happened, I was born in a big mountain in Xiangxi, there are no people in a hundred miles, only some sporadic hunters. My mother weaved cloth and farmed the land to raise me, and taught me to read at the age of two or three, but she didn't teach me martial arts. Although it was a hard time, it was the happiest period of my life. Later, one day, a nearby hunter came to ask my mother to heal a seriously injured man. My mother has been worried since she came back. Not long after, one day, I went out to play in the mountains, and when I came back, I saw my mother fighting with a dozen people, so I hid and watched. My mother killed them all, and then fled with me overnight. After that, she took me around and was hunted down along the way. That year, we traveled a lot and met all kinds of people. These people all said that my mother used to steal a book called "The Essence of the Ten Directions", and they wanted to kill her for this book. But I know that my mother will never steal. Her martial arts are so good, if she wants to steal or rob, it is not an easy task. But every grain of rice and cloth she earned by her own labor. And those who were going to kill her were going to kill for the sake of this book. Later, the mother died and was killed by her brother. I was orphaned when I was eight years old. ”

Wuwei sighed lightly and did not speak.

"In fact, there are many orphans in this world, and there are many good people who are not rewarded. I feel really lucky to be alive today. Thanks to such a mother. Otherwise, when I was starving, when I was being bullied, or when I could die at any time, if I hadn't thought of her, I might not have been able to stand it a long time ago. I really miss her. At this point, his voice was choked.

This night, the two talked for a long time, and it was almost dawn before they fell asleep. When Qiu Yinming woke up, he found that Wuwei had already gotten up and gone out, and there was washing water and breakfast left for him on the table, presumably it was already late. He hurriedly got up, pushed open the door, and saw Wuwei's master, pacing in front of the building. When the Taoist saw him appear at the door, he came upstairs.

The Taoist slowly walked in front of him and said, "Young Master Qiu." Is it convenient for the poor to ask about it? ”

Qiu Yinming was stunned for a moment. This person was extremely cold yesterday, how could he be so courteous today. He had never been called "Childe", so he was embarrassed again, and immediately replied: "If the Taoist chief has anything, you can ask." ”

Seeing that he seemed to have just gotten up, the Taoist said, "Don't worry. You freshen up and eat first, I'll wait for you downstairs, and we'll go to the beach. ”

Qiu Yinming didn't know why, he was stunned, and then said, "I'll come soon." After that, he went back to the house, washed his face and combed his hair quickly, swallowed his breakfast in a few bites, and went downstairs, and walked along the path with the Taoist to the beach down the mountain.

After a few words of greeting, the Taoist said: "This morning, I saw that Wuwei got up late, and after asking, he told me some of the things you said last night. ”

Qiu Yinming thought to himself: So what, is it possible to pity me. But he said: "It's all old things, not worth mentioning." ”

The Taoist was silent for a moment and said, "Excuse me, Ling Xianci is Yue Yunxi?" ”

Qiu Yinming was taken aback, how did he know. He stopped and said, "Exactly." ”

The Taoist sighed, "Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity. A generation of wizards, it turned out to be such an ending. ”

Qiu Yinming didn't speak.

The Taoist continued: "Poor Dao Shangguan Hong, once met Ling Xianci at the first month of the fourth year of Xuande, at the Hangzhou Wenjian Pavilion Martial Arts Conference. She is a disciple of Wenjian Pavilion, she is honest and chic, and her learning skills are exquisite, and she can be said to be the best among the rookies of the generation back then. After the martial arts conference, Poor Dao traveled all over the world, and later heard that she was framed and killed together with your father, and I was very sorry. Unexpectedly, she had descendants. I even sigh that by chance, I let you go through the calamity and drift to me. ”

Qiu Yinming bowed his head and was silent.

Shangguan Hong said: "Listen to Wuwei, you have wandered all over the world, drifted overseas, and suffered a lot over the years. Stay with me if you want. ”

Qiu Yinming heard this, although his heart moved, but he still said: "Dao Elder doesn't have to pity me. The past is gone. I'm still alive and well. Besides, didn't the Taoist chief say that I, a murderer, was a person in the sea of misery in the third world? Where can I get under your door? ”

Shangguan Hong smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to enter my Dao Gate." I intend to accept you as a lay protégé, and you and I don't have to be commensurate with each other. I would like to pass on the way of the world and learn martial arts. You think about it. By this time, the two had reached the beach. The wind and rain have stopped, the sea is wide and the waves are flat, and I saw Wuwei dancing his sword on the beach.

Shangguan Hong said again: "In the past two days, I have asked you to stay for the past two days. He has been lonely since he was a child, and now he is at home with you, and he will be happy if you can stay with him. This apprentice of mine is pure-hearted, but he is too simple. If you are there, he will enter the world in the future, and he will have someone to take care of him. ”

After Wuwei finished practicing a set of swordsmanship, he saw Master and Qiu Yinming talking at the foot of the mountain, so he waved at them and ran over. Shangguan Hong said to Qiu Yinming: "You can talk to Wuwei." I went first. If you have it in mind, come to me. Then he turned and went up the mountain.

Wuwei wiped his sweat and said excitedly: "What did Master say to you?" ”

Seeing him like this, Qiu Yinming pretended to be angry and said, "You and Master chewed the root of your tongue and shook out all my family affairs so quickly." ”

Wuwei sneered: "I didn't mean that. Master asked, I can't lie. ”

Qiu Yinming smiled: "I don't blame you. Just now, your master said that he wanted to take me as a lay protégé. ”

Wuwei said with a happy face: "I knew that the master would agree." Great, we're going to chop bamboo and rattan this afternoon and make a bed for you. ”

Qiu Yinming smiled and nodded.
