Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Tu Shu and Fang Lin have grown into big guys. The two are really like brothers. Attend classes together, play together. Even being punished for making a mistake is a crime. In Tu Shu's eyes, Xiao Lin has become the most important person besides his father. Yes, if it hadn't happened, the two might have lived like this carefree forever.

It was a summer morning, and Fang Lin was suddenly called out by Tu Shu when he was still sleepy.

"Xiao Lin, listen to me, I've decided! Today, I want to complete the 'Eye Open' practice and surprise my father!" Completely ignoring Fang Lin's vision of going to sleep, Tu Shu directly lifted his quilt and pulled him up from the bed.

"My eldest young master, what are you thinking about when you don't sleep in the morning? Didn't the master say it many times? The practice of 'opening the eyes' must wait for him to come back before it can be carried out, and it will be dangerous to fool around alone!" Fang Lin, who had just gotten up, was pulled by Tu Shu under the big tree in the courtyard, and complained to the other party with a half-yawn.

"Xiaolin, are you still my brother?! You don't believe in my abilities. Tu Shu's exaggerated hands were crossed on his hips, with a serious expression, like a big brother.

"For so many years, whether I am studying, practicing martial arts, or practicing, you have always watched it. You should know best how capable I am. That's why I asked you to come and accompany me on this practice. ”

Fang Lin suddenly looked embarrassed, scratched his head and thought about it and said, "Young Master, your ability is very strong and you work hard, of course I know this." But this 'eye-opening' practice was told to me by the master when he was leaving, so that I can't let you do it alone. Just listen to what the master has to say. ”

"That's because my father didn't know about me. I have already read the method of 'opening eyes' in my father's ancestral family book, and I can completely control it with my current ability!" Tu Shu clenched his hands into fists, revealing extraordinary confidence.

"But... ”

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. If you're still my buddy, hurry up and help me prepare. Fang Lin seemed to want to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Tu Shu impatiently. I had no choice but to do what he said. However, he didn't expect that this would be the last time he would do things for Tu Shu。。。。。。

The first attempt to "open the eyes" failed, and when Tu Shu regained consciousness, he only saw blood all over the ground, and the pungent smell of blood. A servant slumped to the ground, his hands trembling, and looked at him in horror.

"What's wrong?!"

Tu Shu's father happened to come back at this time, leaned down and asked the servant on the ground.

"Old... Master. It took a long time for the servant to react, and his frightened eyes did not fade in the slightest.

Tu Shu's father looked at the bloodstains and Tu Shu all over the ground, and then at the terrified servant. His face suddenly darkened, and he asked in a deep voice, "What did you see?!"

"Eyes grew on the forehead of the young master. Xiao, Xiaolin was killed by the young master!" The servant looked at the ground and trembled uncontrollably, as if he had seen the scene just now. "Someone!"

Tu Shu's father suddenly stood up violently, put his hands behind his back, and shouted into the courtyard.

Six or seven of them immediately ran out of the house.

"Sir!"

"Gouge out this guy's eye!" the middle-aged man roared as he pointed to the man on the ground.

Several family members were stunned, exchanged glances with each other, and stood in place at a loss. A person who seemed to be of some seniority raised his courage and asked cautiously: "Master, what did he do to Xiao Liuzi?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" Don't you want to be like him?" the middle-aged man glared at the other party fiercely.

"Yes, yes, what the master said is, I forgot the rules. The family nodded and apologized in fright, stepped aside, and dragged the sluggish little six sons down with a few other people.

"No, no, sir, I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything!" only then did the poor little sixth son react, and roared heartbreakingly. It's a pity that the old man didn't even look at him. I heard the roar farther and farther away, and finally disappeared into the courtyard.

"Dad, I... What's wrong with me, what's going on?" Tu Shu pointed to the blood on the ground and asked his father in confusion. The middle-aged man walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed.

"Remember this lesson, this is the price you pay for your conceit. ”

"Where's Xiao, Xiaolin, where did he go?" Tu Shu stood up and looked around.

"Don't look for it anymore!" The middle-aged man suddenly roared, then sighed lightly, and said with a little sadness: "That person is no longer here, forget about him." ”

Tu Shu was shocked, and raised his bright red hands tremblingly, with a look of horror.

"This... Is this Xiao Lin's blood?" Tu Shu breathed rapidly, his eyes widened, and he looked at his father in disbelief. The middle-aged man closed his eyes and did not answer his words. With his hands on his back, he slowly turned around.

"Did I do it?" Tu Shu's voice was low, and his long bangs covered his eyes, making it impossible to see his face.

"That's what I told you about the risk, the 'eye' is not so easy to grasp. For thousands of years, there has been no one who has been able to complete the step of 'opening eyes' without the help of external forces. Believing too much in one's own strength and forcibly 'opening one's eyes', the result is that he is swallowed up by his 'eyes' and loses his mind. The middle-aged man turned his face sideways and looked at Tu Shu.

"You're too confident, Shu'er. ”

With that, he turned his head. Walking towards the house, he gradually disappeared from Tu Shu's field of vision.

"Kobayashi... Tu Shu's legs weakened, and he fell to the ground with a "bang", and two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks。。。。。。

Since that day, Tu Shu's cultivation seems to have stagnated, and there has been no progress. No matter how hard his father tried, Tu Shu still didn't make any progress at all. Everything seems to have stayed on that day, nothing has changed. Finally, one day。。。。。。

"Shu'er, do you want to go to college?" On this day, Tu Shu's father rarely had dinner with Tu Shu at home, and he was silent for a moment with the dishes and chopsticks, and suddenly asked.

The chopsticks Tu Shu held in his hand stopped in mid-air, looking at the dishes on the table without making a sound.

"I want you to change the environment and forget those unhappy memories. At the same time, it must also be of some help to your practice. And, you're almost 20 years old, and it's time to get in touch with the outside world. Tu Shu's father put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Tu Shu with a concerned expression.

"Forget, do you want me to forget Xiaolin?" Tu Shu raised his head and looked at his father with a frown.

"I hurt Kobayashi, no matter where I go, this fact will not change. Tu Shu held his chopsticks tightly and lowered his head.

"I'm telling you to remember the lesson of that time, not to immerse you in the past!" the middle-aged man slapped the table with a "snap!" and stood up violently. looked at Tu Shu with an angry face.

"Forget it, don't say those pretty things. After all, you don't care about Xiao Lin's death at all, I'm just a pawn of your so-called revitalization family!" Tu Shu also stood up from his seat, turned around, and kicked the seat aside with a kick, and walked out of the door.

"You, you stinky boy, come back to me!ah!" the middle-aged man pointed at Tu Shu's back and shouted, suddenly feeling a sharp pain in his heart and falling on the chair. It's a pity that Tu Shu walked away without even looking back.

"Master, are you alright?" at this moment, an old servant walked in and hurriedly held him up.

"It's okay, it's just an old problem, just take a break. The middle-aged man took a few deep breaths, gradually recovered, and looked at the old servant with an apologetic expression.

"Uncle Fang, our butcher family is sorry for you! You only had such a son when you were old, but you were killed by my unfilial son! I really have no shame to face you old!"

"Master, don't talk about it!" Uncle Fang's old face was full of tears. "I have received the great kindness of you and Ling Zun, and I will not be able to repay it in this life! How can I not know what you are doing to our Fang family, how can I not know in my heart? Fang Lin's kid can only blame his own life for not being good!" Uncle Fang wiped his tears with the corner of his clothes and shook his head with sadness.

。。。。。

Tu Shu stood in the compound, looking at the withered trees with only dead branches, and the scenes of his childhood came to mind again.

"Kobayashi。。。。。。 Facing this now lonely compound, Tu Shu couldn't help but feel sad, and a line of tears unconsciously slid down his cheeks。。。。。。
