"In the ten years before I entered the temple, none of the families of all the court officials who were severely punished in the court had a four-year-old boy demoted to the temple. During this period, no relatives of the emperor committed serious crimes and were implicated by the family. Xue Huai said slowly, "If it is said that the former emperor has no heirs, let alone becoming a king or losing a king, no one will pursue his heirs." If the current emperor wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he will never leave a man in the world, let alone the age. ”

Xue Huai's gaze at the master had never been so tough, not as humble and peaceful as he always was. Although Due guessed that he had secretly verified, he didn't expect him to investigate so thoroughly that he couldn't answer for a while.

Although Xue Huai's words were tough, the clarity in his eyes was even clearer, and he asked clearly: "Right now, this is what you have been talking about 'calamity', right?" ”

Uncover the calamity of the bloodline.

Embark on a catastrophe that reverses fate.

Du Er's face was already resigned: "Yes." ”

Xue Huai: "You don't take the ordination for me, because you don't want me to become a real monk, so as not to regret it at this time, right?" ”

Du Er frowned: "Yes." ”

Xue Huai: "When I was in the temple, you knew that I was innocent but still punished me into the precept hall, did you do it for the shadow kill?" ”

Du Er was startled, his eyes quickly swept around, and Xue Huai said calmly: "He's not here." ”

Doe: "How do you decide?" ”

Xue Huai: "We have been together for many years, I can feel it. Seeing that Doe was still hesitant, he said, "Master, there are not many opportunities for us to speak while he is away. It won't be very long. ”

Doe was shocked: "He, he will leave your side?" ”

Xue Huai: "He knows I won't run away." ”

Du Er realized this sentence for a moment, glanced at the door behind Xue Huai, and didn't ask after all.

"Yes......" Du Er finally spat out, "The position of the teacher is embarrassing, further you should be pushed into this whirlpool, a step back should protect you, between the advance and retreat I don't know how to deal with myself, and finally became a nondescript, not good or bad master...... The shadow killer doesn't want you to live too well, but he won't let you die at will, ...... for the teacher" He closed his eyes and sighed, "I don't know if this will make the other party less murderous......

Xue Huai: "Shadow killing the person who obeys the order should be in a high position at this time, and the power represented by King Hui should be on the opposite side of this high and powerful person." As for you, Master, maybe because of your bloodline, or because of your former family involvement, you are hesitant between the two, and you don't know whether to protect me or use me. ”

A look of shame appeared in Due's eyes, and he nodded.

The snow grew heavier and heavier, falling on the coats of the two men, wrapping the two people who had not moved until now, like two opposing snowmen. But neither of them moved, unaware.

Xue Huai didn't speak again for a long time, and even snowflakes fell on his eyelashes. Du Er remembered that when he was in the temple in the past, there were also such winter days, Xue Huai was punished to kneel in the precept hall, and it was the turn of a senior brother who did not like him very much to be on duty, so he changed the punishment stick to punishment kneeling, and ordered him to kneel in the snow, and not to get up until an hour. At that time, Xue Huai was only eleven or twelve years old, and he was not very tall, looking thin and weak and helpless. However, even so, when Xue Huai asked for help from him passing by, he still walked over coldly and did not respond.

At that time, the eyelashes of the little person kneeling on the ground were also covered with velvet snow, and the slight tremor was unforgettable.

Now the situation seems to overlap with the past, except that the person in front of him is so tall that he doesn't need to ask for help.

Du Er was ready to be defeated before he came, and although his heart was sad at this time, he was also calm, and after sighing slightly, he said: "If there is anything you want to ask, I know everything." ”

The identity that has been hidden for many years will eventually be revealed, and it is impossible to tell whether it is relieved or worried and frightened.

The silence in Xue Huai's eyes deepened, but his tone remained the same as peace: "Lanxi epidemic, how much has Master been involved." ”
