Chapter 4: Who to Believe?
I looked at the master's remorseful face, and then thought about what the yellow man said, and I was a little surprised for a while.
Emotionally speaking, of course, I believe in the master who has taken care of me since I was a child, but Huang Pizi's words have been around my ears like a spell, which makes me hesitate to speak: "Master, do you still remember the road to protect the family fairy that my grandfather invited at the beginning?"
Hearing me ask this question, the master's heavy face suddenly became a little unnatural, and he was silent for a long time before coughing twice and slowly speaking: "It's been too long, and I can't remember the events of the year clearly, so don't think about it anymore."
Master's answer was completely unexpected by me, I have often heard him talk about my childhood for so many years, and the details are all clear, how can I not remember the story of Bao Jiaxian?
Just as I was about to ask again, there was a sudden sneer in my ears, and my master and I were startled, and turned our heads to look, only to see the yellow man squatting not far away looking at us.
Its hair was still a little dull, the skull on its head was gone, it stared at my master with unkind eyes, sat in place and said coldly: "Old thing, you calculated me back then, and let me lose forty years of Taoism in vain, I still remember this account!"
Hearing this, I knew that the person who came was not good, and the master suddenly coughed a few times, his face was like gold paper, and the complexion that had just recovered a little disappeared in an instant, and I clearly saw blood spit out of his mouth.
"Just now, it hurt me."
The master trembled and raised a finger and pointed weakly at Huang Pizi, but the latter just sat silently in place, and even a human sneer appeared faintly on his face, looking at the master's fragile appearance, as if watching another good show.
"I hurt you? Old thing, this is what you owe me, but I couldn't just grab your black heart and throw it on the ground for this kid you deceived to take a good look at! ”
Huang Pizi said that there was a sudden green light in his eyes, and his body bounced up violently and pounced towards the master, I clearly saw that it stretched out its claws, and the sharp claws that popped out were like five sharp steel knives, shining with cold light gloomily.
The master is already seriously injured, so naturally it is impossible to dodge this attack again, and I can't bear to watch the master die tragically, so I gritted my teeth and dodged in front of him......
Obviously not expecting me to do this, the yellow skin had already pounced in front of me and spun away, and the claws that had not had time to retract swept past my chest.
I felt nothing but a chill mixed with the sound of flesh being torn, followed by a sharp pain spreading from my chest.
Looking down with difficulty, I saw five paw prints cutting through my chest clothes, and even the flesh and skin were cut, and now blood was bubbling out.
This is the reason why it reined in its movements at the last moment, if it really caught the master this time, I can imagine that this angry yellow skin, I am afraid that it can indeed pull out the master's heart and throw it on the ground as it said......
"Heh, what a stupid boy, even if he thinks this old thing is lying to you, are you still willing to die for him?"
After missing the blow, Huang Pizi obviously saw my determination to protect my master, but did not attack again, but squatted on the side, licking the blood on his paws.
"He is my master, a teacher for one day and a father for life, and it stands to reason that I owe you at the beginning, if you really want to collect debts, let me be my master!"
Enduring the sharp pain in my chest, I gritted my teeth and blocked in front of the master, without the intention of backing down.
"Even if I tell him he's the one who killed your family?"
The yellow skin looked sarcastic, as if he had heard something ridiculous.
I was slightly stunned, looked back at the master's weak face, so many years of getting along with each other quickly flashed in my mind, even if the master had a problem, he had taken care of me for so many years, it was reasonable......
Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth and responded to it.
"The master has the grace of taking care of me, of course I won't doubt him because of your words, or the same sentence, if you want to collect debts, come to me!"
"Stupid, stupid."
Seeing that I was so stubborn, Huang Pizi just sighed and shook his head, looking quite helpless.
I was about to say something, when the master suddenly grabbed my arm tightly, and said quickly with a nervous look on his face: "Apprentice, don't get entangled with it, something is coming this way, let's go quickly!"
I turned my head in confusion, although I didn't have the sharp perception of the master, but I could really feel that something was wrong.
I saw a strange gust of wind, blowing quickly towards us from not far away, rolling up the dust on the ground, and carrying the shroud that I had torn and thrown on the ground. The shroud was blown upright by the wind, and the sleeves of the shirt were slowly shaking with the wind, looking like the water sleeves of the singers in ancient times.
I don't know if it's my delusion, but faintly, I can hear the woman's whimpering cry......
"Huo, it looks like there are other guys who want to get involved, okay, then I won't fight with him for the time being."
Huang Pizi narrowed his eyes when he saw this, not knowing what his purpose was, not only did he not take the opportunity to attack, but he even raised his paw and pointed to the northwest.
"Run over there, don't get overtaken."
Of course I understand what it means, my master and I are both injured now, and it is when we are weak, if we are entangled by the evil qi again, I am afraid that we will have to peel off our skin if we don't die!
So at that moment, my master and I didn't dare to delay, I supported him and hurriedly fled to the northwest.
In a trance, I seemed to hear a sneer from behind my back, and I didn't dare to look back at all.
It is reasonable to say that it is difficult for manpower to run through the wind, not to mention that I also brought a very weak master with me. But that's it, the master just took out a few copper coins from his arms and threw them on the ground, and put up a formation that I couldn't understand.
After the yin qi that came from nowhere blew through the formation, it gradually subsided, and in the end, only the tattered shroud was lying on the ground, as if everything was just my illusion just now.
"Xiao Chen, thanks to you today, otherwise I would have to explain the master."
I helped the master to sit down under the root of a locust tree, and at the same time turned to sit aside, slowly lowering the axe in his hand. The wound on his chest was not deep, and he had begun to stop bleeding.
"It's all what I should do, the master has protected me for so many years, of course I should do my best."
As soon as the words fell, I suddenly felt a cold wind hitting the back of my head, I subconsciously tilted my head, and without hesitation, I grabbed the axe and swung it directly behind me.
The crisp sound of bones breaking was accompanied by the screams of the master and the warmth of blood splattering on my face.
I stood up and held the axe tightly, only to see the master ...... No, it's time to call his name, Lu Qing collapsed under the tree, his right hand was only a little flesh and skin together, his expression became hideously twisted with pain and anger, and I certainly didn't ignore it.
Between the index and middle fingers of his right hand, there was a slender silver needle.
"Do you want to say, my good apprentice, lend me your body as well?"
I looked at his face and couldn't help but sneer.
"When did you start doubting me?"
Seeing that his own matter had been discovered by me, Lu Qing no longer argued, but just gritted his teeth and asked sharply. I didn't want to explain more to him, so I raised the axe and put it down, killing him would indeed avenge my family, but I still don't know too much about what happened back then......
"I won't kill you, it's hard to dispose of corpses in the wilderness."
After saying this last sentence, I didn't get too entangled with him, not to mention that his right hand had almost been cut off by me, and it would be difficult for him to leave alive. So I turned and walked away, completely oblivious to the hoarse shouts and curses of the road behind me.
On the way home, I felt a little groggy in my head, I felt like living in a scam for so many years, Lu Qing's kindness to me was like an illusion, but it really existed. My uncle died, and I was completely alone, and I didn't even know where I was going now......
I walked in a daze until a familiar voice came from behind me.
"Wang Chen!"
