Chapter 18: Emptiness

Chapter 18 is empty

"O earth and land, life is like this sky full of stars, there is light and darkness, there will be no eternal light, and there will be no endless darkness. The consequences of rushing can only make you fail faster and lose more, and a moment of brilliance is not really bright, like a meteor slipping, there can only be a moment of brilliance. ”

"Alas......"

Shan and the old monk folded the letter with a heavy face, the dispute between "jade", he couldn't be clearer, but he couldn't judge who was right and who was wrong, the battle of ideas has been a bloody road since ancient times, but the winner is king.

The Daimyo's Mansion is "Jade", and Konoha Village is also "Jade", but in the eyes of the old monk Yamawa, who perfectly inherited the will of his master, "Senju Kannon", "Jade" is peace......

"The Daimyo's Mansion can't go on like this anymore!"

Shan and the old monk held the rosary in their hands tightly, the Daimyo Mansion is the center of the Fire Country, and if the Daimyo Mansion is in chaos, the Fire Country will be in chaos. Feeling that he was getting old and powerless, he decided to personally maintain this last shred of peace, and even more so to pull the land out of this bloody road.

"Master......"

Yan Yan looked at the uncertain face of the old monk and asked worriedly:

"Is the situation very bad there Senior Brother Dilu?"

"No, it's just that I should be grounded and this kid is back......"

Shan and the old monk walked slowly to Yan Yan's side and said softly. Indeed, Dilu is still a child to him.

"You're leaving the temple!? But ......"

Yan Yan exclaimed, the old mountain and the old monk have lived in the meditation room for many years, and the Fire Temple is also temporarily managed by several senior old monks.

Now that daily life is also taken care of by Yan Yan, in his opinion, the elderly master is indeed not suitable to travel far away from the temple, let alone participate in the dispute between the Daimyo Mansion and Konoha.

Shan and the old monk stroked the top of Yan Yan's head in a complicated tone, interrupting Yan Yan's next dissuasion.

"You are all my children, I can't accept the loss of any of them, and now that Dilu is in a quagmire, I should bring him back no matter what."

Suddenly, the old monk remembered the past, his master "Thousand-armed Guanyin" rescued him from the battlefield back to the Temple of Fire, and this time, it was his turn.

At this age, as a monk, he should have seen everything and didn't ask about the world, after all, the four major monks were empty, but the older he gets, the more he can't let go, just like his master "Thousand Hands Guanyin".

"Sure enough, I'm still a worldly person."

Beyond the scorching flames that wanted to speak and stopped, he slowly walked in front of the empty one, looking at the empty bandaged right hand, the old monk sighed heavily in his heart:

"It's a poor boy, too."

According to Jilu Shinri, this child was sealed into the Nine-Tails Chakra by his father and Ma, who are the "Guardian Ninja Twelve", and has suffered from the torture and influence of the Nine-Tails Chakra since he was a child, and the flesh and blood of his right hand are gradually demonized.

After his father's death, he fell victim to a battle of ideas.

Pulling over the tangled Yan Yan, the rough and shriveled hands of the old monk Shan and the old monk trembled a little, and said in a helpless voice: "During this time, Sora will live with you first, and Di Lu will let you take him to study more scriptures." ”

The earth, the mountains, and the old monks are all trying to make the Buddhist scriptures fade away the dark past and resentment, but it is not easy to say.

Gently wiping away Yan Yan's almost tangled brows, the mountain and the old monk smiled bitterly and said again:

"Go, you help Kong settle down first, take him to meet the monks of the Fire Temple, the sun goes down and comes to me, I still have something to say to you."

"Well, well."

The thought of the elderly master going to participate in the whirlpool of the Daimyo's Mansion made Yan Yan's heart inexplicably heavy.

As he spoke, he took up his left hand, said goodbye to the master, and walked out of the meditation room with the empty voice softly.

At this time, the sun was just right, and the glazed tiles on the top of the Fire Temple were also shining, and Yan Yan took Sora to wander around the Fire Temple, and introduced Sora to every monk he met on the way.

When he first arrived in a strange environment, his empty eyes were gray, and he was a little timid, and he was a little envious of Yan Yan, who could laugh with anyone and was very popular with the monks, and followed Yan Yan closely, looking around with a little curiosity.

"In the future, you will also be a member of the Fire Temple, and it is necessary to visit the Buddha every day, and I will take you to familiarize yourself with it from tomorrow."

Yan Yan's gentle voice sounded in Kong's ears, and Kong, who was a little distracted in his thoughts, was like a frightened rabbit, rubbed his waist straight, and responded to Yan Yan in a panicked whisper:

"Ahh I...... I know...... Thank you...... Forehead...... Thank you ......."

In a moment's fluster, he didn't know what to call Yan Yan, and his face was flushed in a hurry.

"Hehe, don't be nervous, Senior Brother Dilu didn't accept you as an apprentice, so you can call me Senior Brother in the future, the monks of the Fire Temple are very good, you can also call them Senior Brother."

There is no teacher in the Fire Temple, and according to the rules, the identity can only be a peripheral trainee ninja monk, and there will be no seniority. However, since Senior Brother Dilu entrusted Kong to Yan Yan, Yan Yan naturally would not let Kong be wronged.

Yan Yan, who laughed softly, suddenly thought of the meticulous care that Di Lu had taken care of him when he first came to the Fire Temple a few years ago. Looking at the empty space, there was a sudden feeling of empathy, and the scarlet eyes gradually became gentle.

Since he can remember, he has been cultivated as a weapon by his father.,Being in the indifferent Kong, I've always been sensitive.,Suddenly it seems to feel the warmth from the strangeness of others.,Sora hesitated in disbelief:

"Yes...... Brother. ”

For Yan Yan, there is probably no one in this world who can understand the power of human pillars better than him.

Looking at the empty eyes full of hesitation and confusion, Yan Yan gently patted him on the shoulder and said softly:

"The past is over, the future has just begun, whether it's resentment or confusion, since you've come here, choose a choice that can keep your head up."

Yan Yan recalled the powerlessness of these people in the face of life and the despair of feelings, and couldn't help but take his empty left hand to look at the sky outside the courtyard wall, and said seriously while walking:

"Sora, remember, you never owe anything to others, just a choice!"

Sora's originally dark eyes gradually disappeared, although it was still full of confusion about the future, but compared to before coming to the Fire Temple, it had already shown a lot of vitality.

Sora nodded in a nasal voice, and his left hand gripped Yan Yan's hand tightly.

It was getting dark, and the two of them received all the daily necessities they needed in one go, and returned to the meditation room full of them.

After a busy time, help the empty to lay out the futon, Yan Yan planned to go to the master to talk, the entire Fire Temple can see that the old host has reached the end of the year, Yan Yan has a bad premonition, the mountain and the old monk this trip, I am afraid that there will be no return.

"So, rest early, I'll take you to morning class early tomorrow morning......"

As he spoke, Yan Yan turned around to walk out of the meditation room, and just as he turned around, Sora hurriedly reached out and grabbed Yan Yan's arm tightly.

"Huh?"

Yan Yan looked back suspiciously.

Seeing that the empty pale face was full of panic, sweat covered his forehead in an instant, and his strong right hand, which was covered with bandages, became more and more vigorous, for fear that Yan Yan would also abandon him, Nuo Nuo's voice sounded:

"Don't ...... Don't go ......."

Seeing that Sora was full of depression and horror in his eyes, the anger in the day gradually withdrew, and the scarlet eyes of Yan Yan shrank, he didn't know what Sora had experienced before, but what kind of emptiness and fear would force a child to be like this.

Yan Yan turned around completely, grabbed Kong's bandaged right hand, looked deeply into Kong's eyes, and said slowly but firmly:

"I haven't experienced the feeling of being alone, but I don't know why, I can understand your feelings. You've been in hell in the past, but I don't want to go to hell with you......"

In Kong's gradually gray gaze, Yan Yan broke free of his arm and punched him in the chest, not very strong, but let Kong exhale in pain.

"Ah......h

"Since I don't want to accompany you to hell, then I can only pull you up from hell! Now you are my junior brother, and you may be my companion in life and death in the future, from now on, don't think much! Just follow my rules, you have to keep up!. ”

"Pull me out...... Life and death depend on each other...... Companion...... Rules...... Keep up with ......"

Kong looked at Yan Yan in a daze, no one had ever said such a thing to him, and his heart hiding behind the stone wall seemed to be blasted open by Yan Yan's heavy fist, and his empty mind was blank.

"Huh."

Looking at the light in his eyes, in a daze, Yan Yan shook his head and turned around, if he didn't understand, he had to figure it out by himself.

"Smack......

With a soft sound, Yan Yan's forearm was once again tightly grasped by Sora.

Yan Yan hooked the corners of his mouth widely, but did not look back.

"Bring me ......"

"Bang dang!"

Yan Yan kicked the door open as if he were kicking open an empty heart.

Looking at the misty sky outside the door, it was pitch black, only the moonlight was sprinkled, and the smile on his face could not be concealed, and he chuckled:

"Follow me, don't get lost......"
