Chapter 57: The Price of Growth

cave

Standing on the edge of the stove, the Master took off his robe and spread it on the ground, went to the shelf and took a long object and pulled something into the stove.

"Master Bai Xin, what are you looking for?" I asked curiously.

"There are children's bones here, and I'm going to clean them up and take them away."

The Venerable Master pointed to the corner of the stove, and I poked my head to see the skulls of small children in an inconspicuous place, piled up in a mess.

"They ......" I said two words, and suddenly I couldn't say anything else, and I didn't know what to think in my head, so I silently sorted it out with the White Heart Master.

This is the first time I've touched a human bone up close, and I've never seen it in my hands like I do today. I thought of the relieved expressions on the children's departures and touched the top of their heads, I don't know which of them was, they were all about the same size. I placed them neatly on my robe, facing them as if I were being watched by them, staring at me with dark holes as if they were about to say something to me.

When I came back to my senses a little, I found that I couldn't take my eyes off them as if I was frozen by them, and the expressionless skulls began to come alive, and I saw their mouths open and close, but I just couldn't hear clearly, and the more I couldn't hear clearly, the more I concentrated on them, and the more I couldn't extricate myself, I didn't know that I was sweating profusely at this time.

“...... We? ”

What the? What do you say? I'm going to stick it on them.

“...... Save us? ”

Save you?

I was wondering what this meant, and one by one they were suddenly filled with anger and resentment, and asked loudly and clearly, "Why didn't you save us?!" ”

I was frightened by the way they looked, and in my eyes they were about to rush over and bite, "No, it's not!" I want to save you, I really want to save you! I explained equally loudly.

"You lied, you hurt us! You see, we have had our throats cut alive, and we are in pain because of you! ”

"It's the Gray Blade Workshop that does this, it has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me!" I shook my hands and denied it.

"Dare to shirk responsibility! If you hadn't promised him to forge weapons, would you have been where you are today?! You know he's not good, but you still cooperate with him, you're the culprit! ”

They poked at the truth that I had always wanted but did not dare to admit in my heart, and I was constantly fighting in my heart, and a voice said, "If you had been firm, you would not be where you are today." Another voice said, "It's none of your business, it's all Cuizi who is in a hurry to get a weapon, and you told her that you can't agree." ”

The two voices lingering around my ears, coupled with the aggressiveness of the skull, stirred up the anger in my heart, shut up! Shut up! Either way, I want them all to disappear.

"Qingming." A chill spread from the center of my forehead to my whole body, and the voices receded like a tide, and I gradually calmed down.

"What's wrong with me?" I don't know what happened just now, was I controlled by something just now?

"You're trapped by demons." The Venerable Master withdrew the hand that had been placed on my forehead.

"Demons?" Is it the kind of madness that martial arts and fantasy often play? I think of the ancient sword Qitan, Zhu Xian, and so on, which are very popular in modern times. But why do I have demons?

"If you look at these skulls now, will there be any reaction?"

"Nope." They won't move now.

"That's good." The Master nodded and wrapped his robe on his back.

We walked out of the cave just as it was dawn, the morning sun was refreshing and not hot, just enough to dispel the bad luck of the body, and the mica came in the breeze and fell into my arms.

"Mica." I smiled and frolicked with it.

The Venerable Master looked at us lovingly and said to me, "You have just become a demon, so you need to pay more attention to it in the future." ”

I was a little happier when I heard his words and asked nervously, "Will it have any effect on me in the future?" How do I get rid of it? ”

"In fact, everyone has potential evil thoughts in their hearts, and as long as they are dedicated to goodness, they will not be able to take advantage of it."

I think I'm pretty kind, how could I be swayed just now?

The Venerable Master Bai Xin understood my expression and explained, "You just gave yourself a psychological hint unconsciously. ”

I probably understood what he meant, but as soon as this happened, I actually started to think about it in my heart, and what I thought about the most was that I didn't save them. I didn't expect that one day I would be pitted by my own thoughts.

"You are in good shape now, and you can cry if you want to cry in the future, and you can laugh if you want to."

The last word, teary eyes.

The White Heart Master was separated from us, and I couldn't help but say more when I thought of his ending, "The White Heart Master!" ”

He turned around and said what's wrong?

"You too, you can cry if you want to cry, you can laugh if you want, you don't have to carry the world to be a perfect person."

Hearing what I said, the Venerable Master Bai Xin was stunned, at this moment he lost the aura that the world had put on him, and for the first time I thought he was an ordinary old man.

"Thank you." He smiled obscuribly and immediately returned to the appearance of a saint.

His expression made me see helplessness, and I also knew that he couldn't do it, it was easy to persuade others, but it was difficult to persuade himself. I can't help but wonder if he ever thought about being an ordinary person.

"I'm back." As soon as I arrived at the place of the old immortal of medicine and poison, I couldn't wait to go down, this day felt too long.

"Oh, you're back, hiccup~" The old fairy of medicine poison is still the same posture as when I left, and I wonder if he hasn't woken up from drinking.

"Where's the Emerald people?"

"It's still soaking in the jar~" After speaking, he picked up the bowl again and started drinking.

I went to each tank and looked at it, "There is no one here." ”

"Oh~ that may be cured and gone."

"......" wanted to pull his beard and pull it.

"Rain." Just as I was gearing up, Tsuiko came back, followed by a man with a spring breeze on his face to see Nishiyu (I: I was not happy to see him).

I happily ran over to hug her as before, but when I was half a meter away from her, I remembered that I had decided to be independent, so I stopped abruptly, and Tsuiko thought I would pounce on her.

"Yo, it's finally not clingy." Phantom didn't know when it climbed on my shoulder again.

"Tsuiko is injured, of course I can't move." I smiled naturally, and I could tell that people weren't too skeptical. "How's your injury?"

"It's completely fine, thanks to the old immortal of the poison poison."

As soon as the old fairy of medicine and poison heard Cuizi praise him, he immediately rubbed his spirits, and was separated by one foot, uh, this scene is so familiar.

"Hey, are you hiding something from us?" Phantom suddenly whispered.

"Nope." It wouldn't know anything, would it?

"People have told us everything."

"How would he know here?"

"His pigeon."

This chicken thief guy, I glared at him, he was talking to Tsuiko, okay, seems to have a good conversation??

"When did their relationship get so good??"

"Isn't that what you want to do when you're away? Eh, don't get off the hook, I haven't said anything about you. ”

"Didn't he say it all, what can I hide from you?" Why are you still holding on to it?

"He must have missed something, the expression on your back is wrong, don't think you can escape my eyes."

"What's wrong with me?" Don't I just want to work hard silently, do you want the whole world to know that I want to set up a flag, don't you know that it is easy to fall? ?

"You've gotten smarter when you come back."

"......" What the hell is it to describe the face becoming smarter, "How stupid did I look in your eyes before?" ”

"The ultimate kind."

I pick up my big knife, don't run and I'll hack you to death!

Life has become noisy again, and unlike before, I know that the trajectory of my life will go in another direction.
