22. Remember the lesson this time
The luxurious and elegant spacious hall is full of green smoke and sandalwood.
The tall stone pillars in the hall are carved with huge reliefs of strange beasts, and the center of the caisson on the top is painted with a vivid picture of the four divine beasts, and several bead chains tied with runes hang down, dancing without wind.
On the high seat at the end of the main hall, a white-haired old man was lying sideways, his extremely long white hair falling down the high seat, he supported his head with one hand, closed his eyes, and seemed to close his eyes to recuperate.
......The copper bell hanging in front of the temple door rang slowly, and the crisp sound came into the main hall.
"Master." Yun Bai walked into the main hall, looked at the old man who seemed to be cultivating his gods, his chin was lightly called, and his posture was straight.
After waiting for a long time, the old man finally opened his eyes, looked downward, looked at Yunbai, and his expression was not angry and arrogant:
"What?"
"The list of disciples who participated in the selection has been sorted out, can the master be seen?"
I only heard the old man say slowly in an old voice:
"The old man left this matter to you to deal with, he believes in your ability, so why bother to look at it."
"The apprentice must live up to the high expectations of the teacher." Yun Bai bent down and arched his hand.
"Hmm." The old man answered, and was about to close his eyes again, but as if he remembered something, he asked:
"Is there anyone who is different from previous years in this selection?"
"Some people's strength has retreated, and it is no different to be pushed away by others."
The old man put down the arm that supported his head, looked at Yun Bai coldly, and his eyes were fixed!
"Smack!!" Several chains of beads crackled and fell from above, smashing into the ground, shattering in an instant.
Yun Bai saw it in his eyes, and his eyes dimmed......
"Smack-" The old man stood up suddenly, gathered a long whip in his hand, and with a shake of his wrist, the long whip was like a snake spitting out letters, and it hit quickly with the momentum of thunder! !
Yun Bai didn't dodge or dodge, he stood straight in place, and he was whipped, and a hideous wound appeared on his left arm, and blood immediately stained the white robe.
Yun Bai pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Boom!" A few more whips were whipped over and hit Yun Bai's body, his clothes were tattered, and his skin was open.
Yun Bai's face was pale, but his expression was as usual, and he looked indifferent, as if he had long been accustomed to being treated like this.
The old man whipped a few times, and finally stopped, holding the long whip, with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were full of coldness:
"You should know that what the old man said is not the case."
Yun Bai covered his arm, and his breath was weak:
"The apprentice is stupid and doesn't know the teacher...... What is the ......?"
"Hmph, the old man's words are all here, you are still so obsessed!!"
"Don't blame the old man for being ruthless!!" The old man's tone sank!
Yun Bai slowly closed his eyes......
Yun Bai fell to the ground, his hair was messy, a few strands of blood were stuck to his face, dying, and his body was covered with narrow wounds, dripping with blood, which was shocking to watch.
The snow-white robe on his body was already tattered and soaked with blood.
The old man threw the whip away, glanced at Yun Bai on the ground, took out an elixir, and sent it into his mouth with spiritual power:
"Remember the lesson this time." With that, he flicked his sleeves and left the hall.
"Hmm......"
I don't know how long it took, Yun Bai moved and struggled to get up from the cold ground.
The wounds on his body had scabbed over and began to heal because of the pill, and he didn't care whether he would tear the wound open again, so he stood up directly, his steps were vain, he stumbled to the ground, and barely walked.
With amazing perseverance, he returned to his cave alone.
Fell to the ground with a thud.
The pain of the wound is like a burn.
He gritted his teeth, braced his arms on his body, and crawled forward little by little, with blood trailing from under him.
He finally climbed into a pool of warm pools in the cave, and as soon as he rolled on the spot, the whole person was submerged in the warm water.
The medicated pool of water submerged him, gently healing every wound on his body.
This pool of potion was prepared in advance when he went to the main hall.
He had expected this, and he was not surprised by the situation.
The potion washed the blood off his body, and his wounds had grown new flesh that was white and tender.
He popped his head out of the water.
Wet black hair pressed tightly against his cheek.
His face improved a little.
Yun Bai curled up in the pool.
There was confusion and confusion in his eyes.
He heard the man's voice again, ringing in his ears.
'Don't you hate?' ’
"What is there to hate, my life, it should be so ......" Yun Bai replied as if talking to himself.
'Do you really think so?' ’
Yun Bai was silent.
Then I heard the laughter not stopping:
'Hahahahahahaha......ha You can fool others, but you can't fool me! ’
Hearing this, Yun Bai raised his head and closed his eyes:
"Do you know what I'm thinking right now?"
"Honestly, I don't even know about it."
The voice paused:
"Memories."
"Memories?" Yun Bai looked at the shattered scenes that appeared in front of him, covered his face, and smiled weakly.
'Is it still handy?' The voice said coldly with a strong mockery.
"How can it be easy...... Every time, as soon as I touch it, do you know how painful I am? Do you know how much heartache I have? You know, I'm going to pretend to be bland......"
But aren't you still living in stealing? Bearing the humiliation, living under the hands of that dog thing, no man and no ghost. ’
He covered his eyes with the back ......of his hand, and a line of tears ran down his cheeks, dripping into the water, causing a circle of ripples.
"I know that my chances of success are very small."
"However, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent. If it fails, I'll be with you......"
'You're dirty. ’
Yun Bai's body shook, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he felt a violent cramping pain in his heart.
"No, it's not, I ......"
Suddenly, he was pinched by an invisible hand!
'Yunbai, what are you going to quibble about now?!' The voice suddenly became sharp!
'I do not resent that you did not die with me, nor that you did not resent the sword forged from my bones,'
But I hate your cowardice, I hate your cowardice! ’
'I hate you for giving up your dignity in order to live, I hate you for being indifferent to watching me die, and I hate you for entering the hypocritical place of the Hidden Cloud Sect! ’
'Have you forgotten what they did to us in the first place?!' Have you forgotten all the pain that life is worse than death?!! ’
'Have you forgotten my weeping?' ’
"No, I didn't...... I didn't!!! Yun Bai held his head and said hysterically in pain.
Tears hit the surface of the water one by one.
The voice was stunned:
'You are repentant. ’
"I'm repentant......" Yun Bai said subconsciously.
"Regret in the beginning." The sudden clear voice made Yun Bai stunned, and he suddenly turned his head-
"I'll help you......" he curled his lips wickedly and laughed.
