Chapter 308 Mysterious Rhythm

I tried to break free from Ji Ziyang's embrace, but he didn't give up and followed.

"Wait a minute, you, stand still." I almost used a commanding tone, Ji Ziyang stopped in place, he looked at me, that expression was by no means the same as he used to look at me, it was an expression that was almost crazy, and the way he looked at me was no longer looking at a little girl, that look was clearly looking at a lover's eyes. This kind of thistle ocean made me feel strange, I stepped back step by step, retreated to the door, turned around and rushed out.

I'm in a mess of mud in my head now, there are actually two patriarchs in our family, I have never heard of this matter, and I am still some kind of chosen person, this is simply unbelievable. Since I was a child, I have always thought that I have no advantages except that my family background is better than others, but now I am unexpectedly found that I am such a special existence.

Have you been able to understand how I feel now, you have lived an ordinary life all your life, more than 20 years, but it is possible that you are a little special, but it doesn't matter, at least your family, your friends, will treat you sincerely, but suddenly one day you find that your world is suddenly turned upside down, in other words, what will happen to you?

I walked to the place where I usually practiced counting fish, and looked at the fish in the tank in a daze, but my brain was racing. I don't know how to face Ji Ziyang next, and I don't know if my feelings for Ji Ziyang stem from the tacit understanding between the ghost puppet and the master, or something else. In a word. Now I am caught in an unprecedented contradiction. I suddenly envied my grandmother, at least she had learned the secret art of ruthlessness, so she shouldn't be bothered by such a thing.

There was a noise around me, and I looked up, it was Goseon, who had been avoiding me since he lost the last competition, grandma said. Goseon intends to practice hard for a while. Until he was able to defeat me, this kid was very perceptive and talented, and I was very optimistic about him. Maybe in the future. I've got another strong opponent.

Maybe didn't realize that I was going to be here at this time. So Xiao Wushan was a little flustered. However, he soon calmed down, took out the fish food and began to feed the fish.

"You didn't feed the fish at this time." I say.

"Recently, I had to go to the master's meditation room to listen to meditation in the evening, so I was a little early." Xiao Wushan said. "The donor seems to have something on his mind."

Sure enough, my current embarrassed expression can even be seen by Xiao Wushan. "Yes, I'm a little worried, by the way, Wushan, if you don't help me figure it out." I say.

"Okay." Xiao Wushan said with great confidence.

"Now, there are two apples, both of which are big and red, and one of them is held in my hand, and the other is hanging high on a tree, and the one on the tree grows very high, and I can't climb the tree, and I'm afraid of the heights. But I always prefer that unreachable red apple that sits high up. As for the one in my hand, it's not that I don't like it, but I don't like it that much. I said, "Say, what am I supposed to do?" Eat the apple in your hand honestly, or take the risk of trying the apple from the tree? I asked.

"The donor's sentence is very strange, and Wushan will not understand. But if you just like the apple on the tree, then just try to get that one, no matter how difficult it is. Goseon said.

I thought about it, maybe my analogy was not appropriate, so I organized the language and said it again, "The analogy just now may not be accurate, let's change it, there are still two apples, one is in my hand, big and red, and the other has fallen to the ground, and the rotten only has the apple core, obviously I can't eat it, but I just can't bear the apple core on the ground, and I always don't like the red apple in my hand so much, what should I do at this time?" I asked.

Apparently my assumptions were too strange, and Gozen looked at me with a confused expression. "Donor, did you get apples to fill your stomach?" Wu Shan asked, this time it was my turn to be confused, obviously I didn't expect that Wu Shan would ask such a question.

"Uh...... This one...... So what? Isn't it? I asked.

"If the donor just wants to fill his stomach, then the apple core on the ground obviously doesn't apply, and you should definitely choose the red apple in your hand. But if the donor is interested in the apple core on the ground, then there is only one explanation, that is, the donor you are not hungry, and the apple core on the ground has a special meaning for the donor, then please choose the apple core, this matter is not difficult to understand, the key is to see whether the donor, yourself, has reached that critical point. Wu Shan said that he had made a tirade, and he couldn't tell that it was a seven or eight-year-old child who said it.

"Critical? What criticality? "I've been through so much and my IQ seems to have gone back to prehistoric times.

"When people are extremely hungry, they don't care about what is meaningless, and the first thing they think of is to save their lives, and if they don't have them, they will have nothing. So this tipping point is how hungry you are, whether you are hungry enough or not, that determines your choice. Goseon said.

"I really didn't expect that after living for more than 20 years, I would ask a seven or eight-year-old child to solve my relationship problems, which is really beneficial." I say.

"Wushan is a monk, and he doesn't talk about those love things, and I don't understand the things of you adults, but I just know the difference between when people are full and not full." Gozen said as if he had lost interest in my conversation, and ran away to play elsewhere, leaving me alone, where I was. I slowly walked back to my room, Ji Ziyang was not in the wing, I was lying on the bed, and I didn't even close the door, because if I wanted to stop Ji Ziyang, it was useless to just close the door.

I didn't even go to dinner, my grandmother didn't come to call me, I guess she didn't have dinner, and I was still basking in the great joy of finding the true patriarch.

Later, it was my little master Wu Shan, who brought me dinner, and without grandma, Wu Shan beat all the meals a little bit, brought them over, and watched him carry a big wooden plate and all kinds of meals, what reason do I have to say that I am not hungry? I've been here for so long, and this is the first time I've tasted the food at the temple so happily, and it tastes really good.

Goseon didn't speak, just looked at me quietly, finished all the meals, and then left happily.

Food is really a cure, eat and drink enough, lie in bed, and suddenly be open-minded. Even if I'm the real master, even if I like thistle, there are so many things to do now, tomorrow's business, just wait until tomorrow to worry about it. Thinking like this, I emptied my brain again and quickly fell asleep. However, I didn't sleep very well this night, and I always heard strange noises.

It was a tinkling sound, like some knock on the door. It's a small sound, but it's crisp, and you can't hear it clearly, but you can feel it regular. In this way, I was disturbed by this inexplicable noise all night, and I could not fully sleep at all, and woke up early in the morning.

What struck me as strange was that this sound was not something I had imagined in my dreams, but was real. I could hear it so clearly, it was coming from next door to me. I quickly rolled over and got out of bed, and subconsciously, I felt that this strange knocking sound was like a distress signal, could it be that grandma was in danger! The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, so I hurriedly took three steps and two steps, and ran to my grandmother's room.

I didn't knock on the door, I just pushed it open, and I was really surprised by what I saw.

First of all, grandma doesn't have anything to do, it's just ...... She laid the rosewood tea table on the floor, knelt beside herself, and struck the bronze plate with the middle knuckle of her right hand, which was where the strange rhythmic tapping sound came from.

"Grandma, grandma, what are you doing here!" I quickly helped my grandmother up, she looked at me, her eyes were full of smiles, and she stood up tremblingly, and I found that her knees were weak and her hands were cold. "Grandma, you can't have kneeled here all night, right?" I asked.

"It's okay, it's okay." Grandma still smiled and said, "Did grandma make a noise about you?" Grandma asked.

"No, I can't sleep on my own." I casually lied.

"Lie, look at your eyes, they are swollen, you think grandma is really old." Grandma said.

"Grandma, I hear you knocking on this......" I pointed to the bronze plate.

"Yes, yes, it's been too long, and the techniques are a little rusty, so I just practiced." Grandma said, in this way, grandma is not idle and boring unintentional work, is there any mystery in this bronze plate, I suddenly came to the interest again.

"Come, sit down, Grandma will teach you a skill that our Kui clan patriarch must know now. You take a good look. "Grandma pulled me and knelt on the ground, facing the bronze plate, and then began to beat reverently.

Because it is very close, this time I heard it, although the bronze plate is rotten and rusty, but it can make a particularly nice sound, the sound is a little crisp, but it has a little buzzing echo, I don't know what the principle is, it is such a quiet listening, but I feel that it is still very clear and pleasant.

Grandma beat reverently, again and again, and I was a little fascinated by what I heard. Suddenly the sound of percussion stopped abruptly, and my grandmother looked up at me, and I felt like she was a great musician.

"Alright, now I'll ask you." Grandma suddenly spoke, "How many knocks did I just make?" (To be continued......)
