Chapter 041: The Story of Cinnabar (10)
"Master, where's my father?" In the broken temple, Xing Ruyi searched around, but failed to find his father. With red eyes, she ran to the fox and looked up at him: "Didn't you tell me that my father was in the temple?" Why, why is there no Daddy in the broken temple? ”
"Ruyi, I'm sorry." The fox squatted down and wanted to touch Xing Ruyi's face, but she avoided it.
"You're lying to me, aren't you? My dad isn't here at all. ”
"He was meant to be here, just...... We're a step late. The fox grabbed it backwards with his backhand, and the statue in the temple instantly cracked. Inside the statue, a pale and delicate middle-aged man bowed his head slightly, hung his hands, and stood there quietly.
"Daddy!" Xing Ruyi was about to pounce, but was dragged back by the fox.
"Can't go over, he's not your daddy anymore."
"You lied to me!" Xing Ruyi had just finished speaking, but the middle-aged man in the statue was a little higher, and when he looked closely, he found that the middle-aged man's robe had no legs, and the place where it should have been legs was now replaced by a bucket-thick, black scorpion tail.
"Daddy!" Xing Ruyi exclaimed, and the middle-aged man turned around, revealing the scorpion head.
"Your daddy is dead. He was first sucked into the soul of the grandmother in the grandmother's shrine and turned into a soulless corpse, and then he was hollowed out by the scorpion essence that followed the smell. Then, after eating, they were sealed in a ruined temple by magic. The person who sealed them just wanted you to see what your father looks like now. ”
"Why? Why did they hurt my Daddy? ”
The fox's lips moved, but he didn't answer.
"Ruyi, you are Ruyi, right, you are Mr. Xing's daughter Ruyi, right?" A man rushed in from outside the ruined temple. The man had a beard, wore a tattered official robe, and had a lot of blood marks on his body: "My name is Wei Xuan, your father should have mentioned me to you, I am ...... I'm a good friend of your daddy. ”
"I know you."
"It's good to know, it's good to know." Wei Xuan took out something from his arms and stuffed it to Xing Ruyi: "This is what your father handed me when I escaped from the city." He said that he was a scholar and did not know martial arts, and even if he escaped, he might not be able to live. He said, if I live longer than him, if I see you and your aunt, I will give you this thing. ”
The thing wrapped in the red envelope, when opened, was made of two hairpins, one made of pure gold, and the other was made of white jade.
"This is the dowry that your father saved for you, and everyone who works with us knows that Mr. Yan has a beautiful daughter named Ruyi. He loves his daughter very much, and every day, whether he drinks or not, he has to talk about it again. He said that he has no ability in his life, neither can he be a champion nor an official, nor can he do business, the only fortunate thing is that he married a lady who does not dislike him for not having the ability, and gave birth to a beautiful and lovely daughter.
Your father is very powerful, he has long seen that An Lushan and Shi Siming are not good things. So, I prepared these two things early. I originally thought that I would hand it over to you when I got home, but I didn't expect it...... Ruyi, you must take it well, this is the last and best thing that your father left you. ”
"Uncle Wei Xuan, my father ...... him"
"Your Daddy, by the way, your Daddy has become a monster. It's not safe here, let's get out of here, get out of here. ”
Wei Xuan stretched out his hand to pull Xing Ruyi, but Xing Ruyi was picked up by the fox first.
"I am Ruyi's master." The fox looked at Wei Xuan's eyes and announced his identity.
Wei Xuanzheng wanted to nod, but suddenly took a step forward, and pushed the fox aside by the way.
"What's wrong?"
Xing Ruyi turned around, but saw that Daddy, who had originally lowered his head, raised his head, and there was no pupil in his eyes, and some were only four hundred. Black cracks, spreading from his neck, soon crawled all over his face. His robes shred, revealing only half of his body. Without the cover of the robe, Xing Ruyi could clearly see the scorpion's black tail sticking through her father's broken body. Her Daddy, who she remembered, always smiled gently, was now like a broken doll.
"Daddy!" Xing Ruyi hissed and shouted, tears rolling down one after another.
"Ruyi go quickly, he is no longer your father." Wei Xuan shouted anxiously.
"Ruyi, obedient, don't look!" The fox gently pressed down Ruyi's head, followed a few steps back, and after walking out of the broken temple, he squatted down and gently put her on the ground. Then, he got up and made a move, and a silver light poured out from his palm, turning into a rope and pulling Wei Xuan out.
"Stay here and watch Ruyi."
"Sir, the scorpion has become a sperm!" Wei Xuan saw that the fox was going to enter the broken temple again, so he hurriedly shouted.
"Got fine? What if you become a sperm? When the goblins of the whole world see me, they will call themselves gods. ”
"God? What kind of god is this? Did the gentleman seal it himself? Wei Xuan shouted at the top of his throat, didn't hear the fox's answer, touched his head a little embarrassed, and said to Xing Ruyi: "Ruyi, your master is not only good-looking, but also quite interesting." ”
Xing Ruyi lowered his head and sat on the ground. She knew what would happen in the ruined temple, she wanted to see it, but she didn't want to see it. So, she rested her arms on her knees and buried her head in them again.
The scorpion did have some cultivation, but it had not yet reached the point of becoming a sperm. The method of identification is very simple, the scorpion that has become a sperm will not eat the internal organs of those who are not beneficial to cultivation but disgusting to Bara.
Inside the ruined temple, the fox stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the scorpion. The scorpion danced its tail, and the wishful father on the tail showed a hideous smile.
Wei Xuan stretched his neck, but he couldn't see how Xing Ruyi's handsome master made a move, he only knew that not long after Ruyi's master entered the broken temple, a ball of silver light exploded from the center of the broken temple, followed by the broken temple turned into a completely broken temple. Just when he hesitated, not knowing whether to tell Xing Ruyi that her master might be dead, the handsome man actually appeared in front of them out of thin air, and there was an extra coffin behind him. Looking at the planks of the coffin, it seems to be made of the original pillars in the ruined temple.
"Division...... Master, that ...... What about the scorpion spirit? "Although Wei Xuan is a rough man, he has never suffered from stuttering. Seeing that his speech had become unfavorable, he simply raised his hand and slapped him in the face, and then covered his face and said, "This temple has collapsed, what about the wishful father?" ”
"The scorpion is dead, and Ruyi's father is in this coffin."
Hearing that Daddy was in the coffin, Xing Ruyi raised his head.
"There are only these things available here, if you feel bad, the master will go to the coffin shop to find a good coffin for your father."
Xing Ruyi shook his head.
"No need, my dad won't care about that."
"Do you want to see him again?"
Xing Ruyi shook his head again.
"No, Ruyi doesn't look at it, Daddy, he definitely doesn't want Ruyi to see him now. The father in Ruyi's heart will always be the clean one, wearing a moon-white robe, holding a book in his hand, telling Ruyi that girls are also smiling fathers who should read. ”
"He's always been like that." The fox touched Xing Ruyi's head: "When you are older, you will understand that birth, old age, sickness and death are just an experience in life." ”
"I know." Xing Ruyi replied sullenly: "A-Niang said that as long as you remember it in your heart, even if it is someone who has left, it will still exist." It's just a different way of getting along with us. Therefore, for Ruyi, Daddy is just like those people in the town, they just went to another place temporarily. Sooner or later, wishful thinking will pass. ”
"Ruyi."
"Ruyi is not afraid of death, and she has never thought about death, Ruyi has always remembered the words of Daddy and Auntie. Live well, live happily, live healthily. They gave birth to Ruyi and raised Ruyi from such a small doll to a big girl, not to make Ruyi sad, nor to make Ruyi tired of life. Where they haven't been, Ruyi will go for them. What they haven't eaten, what they haven't seen, what they haven't walked, Ruyi will eat, see, and walk on their behalf. Master, isn't it great that you said Ruyi? ”
Xing Ruyi cried as she spoke, but there was still a stubborn smile on the corner of her mouth. Her appearance, don't say a fox, even Wei Xuan looked sad. He wiped his face fiercely and said to Ruyi: "Although I don't understand what you just said, there is one sentence that I understand." You have to live well, and your father wants you to live well. Oh, by the way, I still have a letter here, which was also left to you by your father. I remember that your father's original words seem to be like this, saying that if he is gone, and you are separated from your aunt again, you will go to the person in the letter according to the address in your heart. Your father also said that the person you are looking for is none other than your future husband. ”
"What did you say?" The fox flicked his sleeve.
"Husband, future husband, little Ruyi." Wei Xuan explained: "You are Ruyi's master, didn't her aunt tell you." Ruyi has a future husband who has never met. I remember that when this family affair was decided, Ruyi was still in her aunt's belly. But it doesn't matter, the person who is married to her is also a good family, I remember, the son's surname is Yin. ”
"Surname Yin?"
"It's surnamed Yin, as for what it's called, it's not clear, anyway, it's a scholarly family. His father said that although this person who reads a lot is pedantic, he has no power to restrain the chicken, and if his family marries into such a family, he does not have to worry about being wronged. To be honest, I didn't understand what her father said at the time. ”
"Believe in me!" The fox stretched out his hand.
Wei Xuan hesitated, but still handed over the letter in his hand.
