1040, the dream of eternal life
Ruan Tang and Xun Qing also sensed that something was wrong.
How exactly did Dreamless True Monarch get along with his apprentices, they didn't know what his disciples and grandsons were. But, no matter what, in front of the apprentices, you shouldn't make the apprentices ugly. In doing so, it is simply deliberately slapping them in the face.
Ruan Tang looked in the direction of the stone staircase, as if he wanted to retreat in advance. Xun Qing found out, shook her hand, and signaled her not to act rashly.
Shi Zu's actions today are very different from those in the past, and it is obvious that he is deliberately doing this in front of them. Even if the two uncles are not offended, they can't disobey the ancestors.
Ruan Tang could only press the restlessness and wait patiently.
After drying them for half an hour, Dreamless True Monarch finally exhaled.
"Old Seven, how long have you been getting started?"
During this period of time, Lao Qi had already guessed all kinds of situations, and at this time he replied cautiously: "Back to Master, it has been 42,000 years since the disciple started. ”
Dreamless Zhenjun nodded lightly: "Eleven has been in Dreamless Mountain, and it has been more than 30,000 years, right?" ”
"Yes." Eleven replied in a low voice, "Thirty-six thousand years in total." ”
Dreamless Zhenjun said: "There was an old incident in Dreamless Mountain 50,000 years ago, you were very interested in it a while ago, and asked around, but do you want to tell you about it for the teacher?" ”
Lao Qi and Eleven's faces changed slightly: "Master......"
No matter how stupid they were, they could still hear the warning from the Dreamless True Monarch. What they do, Master knows very well, but he doesn't care about them.
Just this time, call the two of them directly, do you need to say what it means?
Eleven's heart was full of coldness, could he have guessed wrong? Master's fight against his disciples. It has always been understated and never interfered. He deliberately concealed this time, and led the thread to Lao Qi's body, according to his previous experience, even if the master found out, most of them would only be punished, and they would not hurt their muscles and bones. It is more likely that there will be no punishment, but after that, the old seven will be treated coldly. And this is also the result he wants.
But the master didn't do this, but called the two of them directly. And let Ruan Tang and Xun Qing be present.
That's enough to tell. They do it behind their backs. I didn't hide it from Master at all.
So, what exactly does Master want to do? Is that apprentice who came back halfway really so important? Master values the fourth child so much?
Dreamless True Monarch didn't care what the two apprentices were thinking, and said lightly: "Fifty thousand years ago." There are only five disciples under the sect. These five disciples. Thousands of choices for teachers. It's a spur-time choice. I thought that they would be brothers, friends and brothers, and they would be able to get along in harmony. Who would have thought that a tragic incident would happen. ”
He turned his head, his eyes were ruthless, and he looked at the two apprentices: "I guess you have heard about it from the third child. Among the five brothers, the fourth is the most talented, so I pay more attention to him. Unexpectedly, this incident made others jealous. The fifth child framed him, and the eldest and second child committed perjury. The old four are fierce, and before the matter is clear, they escape from Dreamless Mountain with their men. Later, the truth was found out, and the fifth child was exiled for the teacher, and the eldest and second child were punished at the same time. As a result, the fifth child died outside, and the eldest and second child fell halfway. Of the five disciples under the sect, only the third person remained. ”
Speaking of this, a faint mocking smile appeared on Dreamless True Monarch's face.
Ruan Tang was shocked, she only knew that the previous teachers and uncles were a little entangled, but she didn't know that it was such an inside story. No wonder the ancestor will look at Senior Sister Cheng differently, with the character of the ancestor, he must be ashamed of the fourth master back then.
After this incident, he did not accept apprentices for 5,000 years, until the sixth child started. In the 10,000 years since, the six of you have been received one after another. ”
Ruan Tang thought to himself, no wonder the master is very fond of the master, it turns out that this is the reason? Let the master re-move the mind of accepting apprentices, which shows that the master has a lot of thoughts about the master.
Wumeng Zhenjun looked at his two disciples, his eyes were indifferent: "Old Seven, you have always wondered why the teacher wants to accept you as a beginner, isn't it?" ”
Lao Qi raised his head, looked at his master's cold eyebrows, and suddenly rushed to the top of his head with a spirit that was usually well hidden: "Yes!" He tried his best to restrain himself, but his stiff tone still revealed a faint sense of complaint, "The disciple has always known, Master, you don't like me, in that case, why did you accept me as a beginner back then?" ”
Eleven was shocked when he heard this.
It turns out that he is not the only one who feels this way?
For so many years, he has been holding this sentence in his heart. Compared with the previous disciples, these disciples who started later were obviously not liked by the master.
Until the sixth child, the master cared for him in every way, like the most qualified master. But the master in the eyes of a few of them is always so cold and self-controlled, and there is no superfluous affection. He always thought that Master was like this. Until one time, he saw the master and the sixth child getting along......
That scene has been in Eleven's heart for a long time, and he has never said it to others. But, after so many years, he has never forgotten jì.
That warmly concerned master is really his own master? Why is the Master I see always so untouched, as if he will fly away with the wind at any time?
Eleven sometimes remembered and wanted to find out, but he didn't dare to ask, always feeling that if he asked, he would lose something very important and never come back.
And now, Lao Qi asked.
Eleven looked at Dreamless True Monarch, expecting him to answer, but also afraid of him answering.
Dreamless True Monarch turned back again. He looked at the reckless mountains with his hands, and the wind and clouds were leisurely.
"Lao Qi, you are born as a bandit and have a greedy temperament. The eighth child has been in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, and he acts viciously. The old nine are lazy, and the old ten are stupid. As for Eleven, he likes to play tricks, and Twelve is jealous...... Each of you has the most obvious shortcomings. ”
Listening to the Dreamless True Monarch count them one by one, Ruan Tang was surprised and became more and more confused. Since the master is completely aware of the shortcomings of the uncles, why do you still accept them as apprentices? With these shortcomings, not to mention the Mahayana True Monarch, even an ordinary Divine Transformation Cultivator would not be willing to be included in the sect. She vaguely felt that she might have come into contact with something terrific.
"Master," Lao Qi said in a dumb voice, "since you all know, why haven't you said it all these years?" ”
"Because. As a teacher, I want to see how far you can go with these shortcomings. Dreamless True Monarch's voice was still as calm and waveless, "If you can break free on your own, that's fine." If you can't break free, that's fine. ”
"Okay?" Lao Qi muttered and repeated, feeling that he would hear something he didn't like to hear.
Dreamless True Monarch raised his head, looked high in the sky, and said something that seemed to have nothing to do with it: "Be at ease, live forever, and have not survived the catastrophe." How can it be called immortality? ”
Eleven Huo Ran looked up. Finally knowing that something was wrong, he asked in a trembling voice, "Master, are you ...... Are you using us to verify your Heavenly Dao? ”
Lao Qi turned his head to look at Eleven, his eyes were confused: "Eleven, what did you say?" Master's Heavenly Dao. What's the matter with us? ”
Eleven did not answer him. He only stared at the back of the Dreamless True Monarch and shouted, "Master! ”
in his voice. Full of two completely different contradictions, anticipation and despair, I hope that the true king of no dreams will deny it, but reason knows it. That's just the way it is.
Dreamless True Monarch really didn't deny it, his voice was so calm and ruthless in Eleven's ears: "Heavenly Dao, immortality." Only by surviving the catastrophe can we truly live forever. Let's ask the monks of the world, who does not have a dream of immortality? ”
With these words, Eleven's heart was cold: "Master......"
He threw himself to his knees, bent down, his forehead pressed against the cold gravel, tears sliding from the corners of his eyes and dripping onto the rubble. He formed his hands into fists, grabbed the gravel and dirt, his voice choked, and the last thing he said was still only these two words: "Master......"
Lao Qi looked at him blankly, and the fat on his face twitched: "Eleven, you ......"
Eleven didn't move, and neither did Dream Dreamless Zhenjun.
Eleven couldn't cry, but he could only hold on to the gravel at his feet. A gloomy anger, with nowhere to go.
After a long time, Lao Qi said softly: "Master, is what Eleven said true?" Are we just tools to you? That's why you've been so indulgent to us for so many years? ”
Dreamless True Monarch said lightly: "What, do you feel wronged?" How many opportunities did the teacher give you? 42,000 years, 36,000 years, words and deeds, how have you ever taken the words of a teacher to heart? ”
"But......" Lao Qi shouted in his heart, but you never said that if we don't correct it, we can only use it as a tool to verify the Heavenly Dao for you!
Dreamless Zhenjun closed his eyes and sighed lightly: "I thought I didn't do anything wrong for my teacher, but I ......"
The muscles on Lao Qi's face twitched, with the pleasure of revenge: "However, the fourth apprentice is dead." Master, do you finally regret it? ”
Dreamless True Monarch turned his head slightly: "No, she's not dead." ”
The distorted smile on Lao Qi's face froze suddenly.
Dreamless Zhenjun looked at him, and Lao Qi seemed to see pity on his face in a trance.
At this moment, the corners of his eyes were also wet.
"Master......" Old Seven muttered.
"What I regret for my teacher is that you should not be allowed to continue. Otherwise, the tragedy of the fourth child will be repeated one day. ”
Lao Qi's eyes widened, and Eleven also stopped crying and looked up at Dreamless Zhenjun.
Dreamless True Monarch sighed slowly: "Let's stop here!" You two, go to the ice cave for retreat. ”
Obviously talking about punishment, the seventh and eleventh showed surprised expressions.
Their eyes widened and they looked at Dreamless True Monarch in disbelief: "Master? ”
Dreamless Zhenjun turned back and waved his hand gently: "Without the permission of the teacher, you are not allowed to come out." ”
"Yes!" Old Seven and Eleven answered loudly.
After so many years, it was not until this moment that they felt that they were truly Master's disciples.
The two uncles retreated, but Ruan Tang and Xun Qing were very frightened.
What does Shizu want to do? Since it's a lesson for uncles, why do you want to keep them?
"Master." Ruan Tang plucked up his courage, "Since Senior Sister Cheng is not dead, should we go to the East Yellow Realm to find her whereabouts?" ”
"Not necessarily." Dreamless True Monarch shook his head slightly, "She has her own fate. ”
"Then ......" Ruan Tang Na, didn't know what to say.
"Go back." Dreamless True Monarch Dao.
Ruan Tang was stunned: "Master? ”
Xun Qing understood something, pulled her, bowed his head and saluted: "Yes, the disciple grandson retired." ”
It wasn't until he got out of the Dream Pavilion that Xun Qing said: "The master asked us to watch, first, to tell the two uncles, he knows everything, and second, he wants us to tell the master." ”
"Tell Master?" Ruan Tang was puzzled.
Xun Qing thought to himself, a respected master, any behavior has a directive effect on the disciples, over the years, it is obvious that his master and the sixth master have understood some things wrong...... (To be continued......)
