Chapter 21: Let go

The white candle in front of the coffin was almost burned out, half of the wick was soaked in wax oil, and the other half burned as hard as it could, emitting a faint glow. The dragon ignored it, he stood still by the sarcophagus, watching as the candle flame went out completely, a wisp of white smoke came out, and the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness.

The dragon stretched out his palm to hold the edge of the coffin, and said softly: "Mother-in-law, let you take care of me, although you were beaten to death by that evil way, but in order for Yang Guo to successfully withdraw from the Quanzhen Sect, I can't take his life to avenge you, I'm sorry." I will keep my promise and take good care of Yang Guo and not let him be bullied, so you can go with confidence. ”

Grandma Sun's death is predestined, and it can't be avoided.

In the book, Xiaolongnu abides by her master's last orders and will never leave Yang Guo in the tomb. Grandma Sun was dissatisfied, resentful of Xiaolongnu's indifference and ruthlessness, and left with Yang Guo in a fit of anger, and when she sent the antidote to Zhao Zhijing, Zhang Zhiguang suspected that the comer was not good, and injured Zhang Zhiguang, attracting Hao Datong to defend the apprentice, and finally died in the hands of Hao Datong because of poor martial arts.

The dragon crossed over, knowing that Granny Sun had such a catastrophe in her life, and wanted to change Granny Sun's life so that she could live a few more years, so he deliberately instructed Granny Sun and Yang Guo before going to Chongyang Palace to negotiate with Qiu Chuji, so that they could stay in the ancient tomb and not let the two have the opportunity to meet with the Quanzhen Sect Taoist. However, where did Long think that the fate was difficult to change, and such an arrangement did not work out after all.

Grandma Sun and Yang Guo saw that Long had been gone for a long time and did not return, afraid that Long would be embarrassed by the Taoist priest, and they were worried, one old and one young still broke into Chongyang Palace, and was mistaken for an assassin by Hao Datong's apprentice Zhang Zhiguang, resulting in a conflict, and finally Grandma Sun was killed by Hao Datong.

The moment Long saw Granny Sun's death, he suddenly understood why it was difficult for him to negotiate with Qiu Chuji, on the other hand, in the book, Qiu Chuji was not obsessed with whether Yang Guo would stay in the Quanzhen Sect. Because only when Granny Sun died, only the people in the Quanzhen Sect would feel guilty, and because of this blood debt, Qiu Chuji didn't dare to be strong and strong to stay with Yang.

Long wanted Hao Datong to pay for his life, fighting with him was just a scene, and hurting Hao Datong's flesh and skin was also for the sake of small punishments and big commandments, from beginning to end, although he was absolutely sure to kill Hao Datong, he never planned to kill him, one was for Yang Guo's smooth exit, and the other was to avoid the constant grudges between the Tomb Sect and Chongyang Palace, which were difficult to solve.

Everything related to Yang Guo is developing according to the arrangement in the book, and although the process is slightly different, it has the same end. Thinking of this, the dragon was suddenly a little confused, not knowing what role he should play and what role he should play here. The dragon was about to take this opportunity to think about how he should deal with himself, when suddenly a cry came from the tomb and interrupted his thoughts.

There are only two living people in the tomb, and it is not the voice of the dragon itself, so only Yang Guo has passed. It was not okay to ignore it, so Long had no choice but to say, "Mother-in-law, I'll go see Yang Guo and leave first." "Put your own business aside.

In the stone room, Yang Guo sat on the bed, guarding a candle, like a frightened sparrow, trembling. When he saw the dragon come in, he got out of bed so hurriedly that he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, and threw himself into the dragon's arms, burying his head right in the dragon's chest.

The dragon put his cold palm on Yang Hou's head, half-hugged Yang Guo, and asked, "Guo'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yang Guo said aggrievedly: "Brother Long, I, I have a nightmare, I dreamed that you don't want me anymore, and I am still alone in the ancient tomb, I am very afraid." ”

Long Dao: "I promised Grandma Sun to take good care of you, so naturally I won't leave you alone, you don't have to worry." Pulled Yang Guo out of his arms, led him to the bed, pointed to the stone bed and said, "Okay, let's go to sleep, it will be dawn if we continue to make trouble." ”

The dragon's tone was flat, as if it was chilling, but it was reassuring. However, it is often said that there are dreams every day and night, and since Yang Guo arrived at the ancient tomb, the most worrying thing is that he is afraid of being driven away, and he can't completely get rid of the nightmare for a while. Yang Guo held the dragon's hand, looked down at the straw mat spread on the bed board, but didn't go up.

Long Dao: "Guo'er, you said you wanted to listen to me, and now I want you to sleep, what should you do?" ”

Yang Guo was afraid of annoying the dragon, so he had to climb up slowly, covered himself with the quilt, and lay flat like a corpse, looking at the dragon with his eyes wide open.

Long Dao: "Sleep." ”

Yang Guo closed his eyes.

Long also felt tired and wanted to go back to his room to rest, turned around and took two steps, felt that his clothes were hooked, and when he looked back, he found that Yang Guo was pretending to be sleeping, and the moment he turned around, he quickly grabbed the hem of his clothes.

Long was amused by Yang Guo's childish behavior, but he was used to being expressionless, and the smile only flashed on his face for a moment, and he pretended to be stern: "Guo'er, let go." ”

Yang Guo seemed to be frightened by the dragon's tone, his fingers loosened, and when the corners of his clothes were about to slip off, he resolutely grabbed them again.

Long said in a deep voice: "Pass." ”

Yang Guo's eyelids moved, but the strength of his fingers did not change, it should be that he didn't want the dragon to leave.

Long stretched out his finger and poked Yang Guo's cheek, and said again: "Guo'er, if you are disobedient, I will punish you." ”

Yang Guo reluctantly opened his eyes and begged: "Brother Long, don't leave me alone, I'm afraid." ”

The dragon asked, "Afraid?" What's so scary? ”

Yang said: "I'm afraid you don't want me anymore." ”

Long said helplessly: "Didn't I say just now, I won't leave you alone, don't you believe me?" ”

Yang said: "Believe, I believe in you", got up and grabbed the dragon's arm, and said with tears: "I am a child that no one wants to have, Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo once said that they would take me in and be good to me, but in the end they still didn't want me anymore and disliked me." My mother and grandmother treated me well, but they both died and will never be seen again. I, I know you don't lie, but, but I can't see you, I'm afraid, Brother Long, don't leave me alone, okay? He looked down at the bed, like a discarded puppy.

Yang Guo has been lonely since he was a child, and he has been bullied, so he is sensitive, he first arrived at the ancient tomb, and experienced the death of his grandmother, emotional ups and downs, and it is normal for his heart to be restless.

Long couldn't bear to be sad, raised Yang Guo's head gently, and said to him: "Guo'er, a manly husband is not allowed to cry and cry, if you have something to say in the future, I won't blame you easily." Well, I'll sleep with you today, and I won't be able to do this in the future. ”

Yang Guo nodded, hurriedly made way for the dragon, and lay down obediently, straight and straight. The dragon lay on Yang Guo's side, with his arm as a pillow, and said softly, "Sleep." "Close your eyes.

Yang Guo peeked at it and asked, "Brother Long, don't you cover the quilt?" ”

Long Dao: "I have internal strength and am not afraid of the cold." ”

When Yang Guo heard about kung fu, he was a little excited and asked, "Brother Long, can I be like you in the future?" ”

Long Dao: "As long as you study hard, you can be like me, maybe even more powerful than me." ”

When Yang Guo heard Long say this, his heart was warm, and he had expectations for the future. So far, he has worshiped four masters, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Ouyang Feng and Zhao Zhijing, each of whom is high-minded, teaching him harshly, and not having a good face. None of the four treated him as an equal and praised him as an equal, like a dragon. Yang Guo really felt the kindness of the dragon, and decided that he was a good person with a cold face and a warm heart, and made up his mind to sincerely respect and love the dragon.

Yang said: "Brother Long, I will definitely learn from you well and never disappoint your teachings." ”

Long Dao: "That's the best, okay, sleep." ”

Yang Guo was happy, and said "En" in a brisk tone, turned over to face the dragon, looked at the dragon's good-looking face and closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were smiling. This time, there was no cold, eerie boundless darkness in his dream, no punches and kicks, and instead of a bright, white snowfield, in which the jade trees and branches floated in the dark fragrance.

Early the next morning, Yang Guo woke up to find that the dragon was long gone, and he occupied the entire bed crookedly. Yang Guo scratched his head and thought, "Could it be that I squeezed Brother Long away?" Thinking of this, I am a little embarrassed. He quickly got up, took care of himself, and obediently sat down at the table to wait for the dragon to return.

Today's stone room is different from yesterday, four candles are lit in the room, and the whole room is lit. Yang Guo knew that these candles must have been placed by the dragon, and for him to put them, there was a burst of warmth in his heart. The candle flame is orange and yellow, and it is also warm when it shines on the body.

After a while, the dragon returned, with a tray in his hand, on which were two bowls and a tall white porcelain vase.

Yang Guo ran over, took the tray from Long's hand diligently, and said with a smile: "Brother Long, morning." I smelled a sweet floral fragrance between my nose. Yang Guo knew that this was the taste of jade bee jelly.

Long said: "Come on, let's have breakfast." ”

Yang Guo asked, "Brother Long, shall we just drink jade bee jelly?" ”

The dragon nodded, poured water and mixed the pulp, one bowl per person.

Yang Guo held a palm-sized porcelain bowl, drank two or three sips, and felt that his stomach was still empty.

Long said: "If it's not enough, drink more." I made another bowl.

Yang Guo had no choice, he didn't dare to complain, he drank four or five bowls of goodong, poured himself full of water, moved slightly, and his stomach gurgled and gurgled. After a simple breakfast, Yang Guo took over the task of washing dishes and took the opportunity to rummage through other foods in the kitchen.

The dragon was afraid that Yang Guo would get lost, so he also looked for it, and happened to see Yang Guo sighing at the rice tank.

Yang Guo's face turned red, scratched his head, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Long, I'll take a look, I don't mean anything else, I was full just now, full." "Rubbing his stomach and pretending to eat.

Long couldn't help laughing and said, "Come on, if you dare to lie to me in the future, I will beat you." ”

Yang Guo leaned to Long's side, raised his hand and promised: "Brother Long, I will only tell you the truth in the future, if I lie to you, I will not die well." "The heart is pounding. Long smiled obviously just now, Yang Guo had never seen such a good-looking smile, he felt novel and liked, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Long, you look so good when you smile, it's better than the gods in the painting, you can smile more in the future." ”

The dragon patted Yang Guo, who was getting closer and closer, his expression was heavily stained with frost, and he looked at Yang Guo and said solemnly: "In the future, you are not allowed to be so oily and slippery, and you are not allowed to say that I am good-looking, do you know." ”

Yang Guo asked, "Why?" ”

Long Dao: "I practice kung fu to pay attention to breaking the seven feelings, abstaining from the six desires, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness should not appear on my face, otherwise, I may die." ”

When Yang Guo heard him say this, his heart tightened, and he also remembered Grandma Sun's point, and said: "Brother Long, I was wrong, I was wrong." "I'm afraid I'm going to hurt the dragon. He absolutely didn't want to see anything happen to the dragon.

Long Dao: "Guo'er, you don't have to be like this, people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, a slight change in mood is not of much impact, and I often think about restraint." ”

Yang Guo nodded, still a little worried, thinking that he would also learn kung fu from Long, so he asked, "Brother Long, will I be as cold as you in the future?" ”

The dragon thought for a moment and said, "If you learn my kung fu, you have to do this." Then he asked, "After that, are you still willing to learn from me?" ”
