Since Huafeng and I were the last to go in, the task of washing the dishes in the end fell on the two of us. After packing up, I went back to my room to read a book for a while.

Just as I walked into the room and sat down, the master suddenly walked in slowly. And he actually carried the golden long sword on his back, with the wooden sword, and the master's wine gourd.

"Master, is there something wrong?" I looked at the master and asked.

The master looked at me and said, "Let's go out for a walk." ”

I looked at the master suspiciously, and finally closed the book I had just opened, and then followed the master out of the room.

By the time we walked out of the room, the snow had lightened a bit, and by this time the snow in the yard had reached our ankles.

I followed the master out of Qingfeng Temple slowly, and the master didn't say a word along the way, just walked quietly beside me.

In the end, I couldn't help it anymore, I looked at the master and asked, "Master, what are you calling me out for?" ”

After hearing this, the master stopped, then walked towards the front again, and asked softly, "Chu Yan, how long have we been up the mountain?" ”

I thought for a moment and replied, "Master, it's been more than nine years, and in a few months, it will be ten years." ”

"Hehe, time flies so fast. It's been almost ten years in the blink of an eye, and you've grown so big. The master shook his head and smiled.

When I heard the master say this, I actually had a strange feeling, I always felt as if something was about to happen.

"Chu Yan, ten years ago, as a teacher, I thought about cultivating you into the person I imagined, and I wanted to sweep away all the factors that hindered you. Of course, that includes Qing Yao, but when you were rescued by the Ghost Eye Monk ten years ago. The Devil-Eyed Monk talked to me a lot, and his words made me understand a lot.

A person's personality cannot be changed because we do not have that ability and nature to oppose it. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to take you into the mountains to practice, and I also decided to pass on to you what I have learned all my life. And now it's all happening, and now ...... It's time for you to get out of here, too.

The world out there is a big one, and now that your wings are full, it's time to get out and see the world. The master stopped.

When I heard this, I stared at the master and asked, "Master, are you asking me to leave you?" ”

"Hehe, silly boy. It's not for the teacher to let you leave, it's time for you to leave. As he spoke, the master's hand reached out to my head.

But when he reached out, he realized that I was no longer the same person I was ten years ago. Then the master put his hand on my shoulder and patted me lightly twice, and then walked slowly to the front.

"Master, I don't want to leave you." I looked at the master's back and said.

"Hehe, silly boy, I remember saying ten years ago that sooner or later we will also be separated. Now that the time has come for us to separate, you should go out for a walk on your own. The master said with his back to me.

"No, I don't want to leave the master." As I spoke, I knelt down in front of my master's back.

"Master, please let me stay by your side. I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I have not had a single relative since my sister died. It wasn't until you took me as an apprentice that I felt like a father. It was you who let me live alone in this world, and it was you who gave me hope to live. Now I don't want to be separated from my father, I want to stay by your side forever. As he spoke, two lines of tears crossed his cheeks.

When the master heard my words, he stopped in place, and I noticed that the master's back was trembling slightly.

"Don't say it, you can't stay by my old immortal side for the rest of your life. You still have your things to do, and the outside world is still waiting for you to explore. If...... If you're tired any day, come back here and see the teacher. If one day you have a problem that you can't solve, come here to find a teacher. Although the teacher is old, this bone can still fight for you. As he spoke, the master sobbed softly.

Finally I couldn't control my emotions anymore, and when the master's last words came out, my tears poured out like a flood that had broken the embankment.

I cried at the master, "Woo...... Master, I don't. ”

After a while, the master smiled: "Hehe...... It's been almost ten years, and you still haven't gotten rid of your crying nose. I remember saying something similar to you, tears are the most useless thing, so don't shed tears in the future. ”

After the master finished speaking, he did not turn around to wipe away my tears or help me up. I guess he was afraid that I would see two lines of tears on his cheeks.

After a long time, the master suddenly said, "Before you leave, the master has nothing to give you." As a teacher, I will give you the things I used to use, and I hope that they can help you subdue demons and eliminate demons on your future path. ”

After saying that, the master untied the golden sword, the wooden sword, and the wine gourd, and then he slowly turned around and placed three things beside me.

"Go back and rest early, and tomorrow you will go down the mountain with Jiusheng, Huayue and Huafeng." After speaking, the master walked slowly towards Qingfeng Temple.

I was stunned by three things, and after a long time, I suddenly came back to my senses. I hurriedly picked up three things and ran in the direction of Qingfeng Temple, and when I returned to Qingfeng Temple, I went straight to the door of the master's room.

After that, I put three things in front of the master's door, and I knelt on the snow.

"Master...... Don't throw me away. Suddenly, there was a cry from behind him.

After a while, Huayue's voice also sounded not far away: "Master, I don't want to leave you." ”

When they saw me, they seemed to know that I was going through the same thing. But they did not speak, but still cried and knocked on their master's door.

And Hua Feng was like me, slowly kneeling in front of the door of the master's room. Jiusheng and Huayue knocked for a long time, but Master Bo and Feiba never opened the door. And even the oil lamp in the room of the three masters was blown out by the three masters one after another.

Finally, Hisashi and Huayue stopped crying, and they each knelt in front of their master's door.

The late nights of winter were cold and cold, and the snow under my knees was melted by my body heat. But the sky was still falling snowflakes, and the four of us had become four snowmen by this time.

But we didn't leave, we still knelt there quietly. And the three masters in the house never opened their doors, and their doors were closed quietly.

In this way, we knelt all night in front of the doors of our respective masters. At dawn, I shifted my body.

"Master, the apprentice is going down the mountain. If you have time, you will definitely come back to see you. As I spoke, I kowtowed three times to the door of the master's room.
