Chapter 401: Deciding to Retreat
With wine in hand, I went to the top of the mountain that I used to go to when I was a child.
When I got to the top of the mountain, I noticed that nothing had changed here. I walked slowly to the edge of the cliff and found a large rock to sit down, and the breeze blew through my hair, occasionally a few strands fluttering in the wind. The leaves not far behind him were also blown by the wind and made a rattling sound.
I looked into the distance, the mountains in the distance, but I wasn't in the mood to appreciate it at this time.
I pulled the cork off and poured it into my mouth. The wine overflowed from my mouth, and my clothes were soaked with the wine. But I didn't stop at all, and kept pouring the wine into my mouth. Finally, the wine is poured directly from the head.
It wasn't until there was no wine running down that I slammed the flask to the ground.
"Boom......" The sound of the flask shattering instantly sounded.
I remembered the moments when I was with my master, and those images were like thousands of long swords piercing my chest. I still vividly remember that the time I fell in the heavy rain was rescued by a sloppy Taoist priest. At that time, looking at him, he was a sloppy Taoist priest who only knew how to hold a wine gourd, but I never thought that I would follow him on this road.
But I would never have imagined that it was actually the person I once loved the most who killed my master. Once upon a time, I wondered if it was right for me to be with Qing Yao.
Now it seems that perhaps we started by mistake. From the beginning to the present, the whole thing is like a big joke. And I'm just a small and insignificant role in it.
And now, I'm really confused, I don't know if the former Qingyao really loved me. But what can you do if you have loved, and what can you do if you don't love. What is happening now, I will never be able to forgive Qing Yao.
Not only that, but I also have to practice Taoism hard, and when I come back here again, it will be when I go to find Qing Yao to seek revenge. I want Qing Yao to pay the price, and I want to let my master pay for his life.
In fact, before, even if I told Qing Yao that it was an enemy to meet again, I would rather avoid her than meet her. Because in my heart, there is still her figure, and I can't really forget.
But now, the little remaining warmth has disappeared without a trace. At this time, all I have is hatred for Qing Yao.
I sat at the top of the mountain until the sun went down, and when the sun went down, everything around me seemed to be covered with an orange veil. I glanced into the distance, then got up and walked in the direction of the breeze view.
After returning to Qingfeng Temple, I accompanied the master in front of his coffin for the whole night. Originally, the master was supposed to be buried, but the master and uncle did not bury the master in order to let me and the master see each other for the last time.
So the next morning, we buried the master. The master was buried near the Qingfeng Temple, where there was water and trees, so it could be said that it was a good place to live.
When I buried my master, I didn't cry. I don't know why, but I can't cry even a single tear, my whole being is completely wooden. Actually, I wanted to cry too, but I really couldn't cry.
When the master was buried, I looked at the coffin that was gradually being covered up in a daze.
"Chu Yan, what are you doing like this? Your master is dead, and you just watch it like that? Tell you that he won't come back to life. Hisashi suddenly walked up to me and grabbed me by the collar and yelled.
And I let Jiusheng grab me by the collar without the slightest resistance.
"Smack...... Smack......" Two crisp slaps rang out on my cheeks.
Only then did I look at Jiusheng with a stunned gaze, and Jiusheng pushed me to the ground, and then came up to beat me again.
"Jiusheng, what are you doing here?" Fat Hachi hurriedly grabbed Jiusheng.
Jiusheng didn't speak, turned around angrily and left, and the master shook his head helplessly and turned away.
Only then did I slowly turn my gaze to the master's grave, and at this time I realized that the master had been buried. I don't know why, but my mind seems to be stuck in yesterday, when I just came back.
It was at this time that I thought that I would never see my master again. Suddenly, an inexplicable sadness welled up in my heart.
"Division...... Master...... Whining...... Oh my master. "Finally, I crawled to my knees and cried in front of my master's grave.
"Tick ...... Tick ...... "I don't know when it started drizzling in the sky.
This is the first time I've cried since I came back yesterday. That's when I realized that I would never see my master again. My heart really hurts, it hurts, and I really can't put it into words.
Gradually, my clothes were completely wet from the rain. Since I was lying on my stomach, I was covered in dirt. My lips were also stained with some dirt, which was a little sticky mixed with the drool that flowed out of my eyes and saliva.
I don't know how long I cried, until finally, I fell asleep on the master's grave. When I opened my eyes again, I realized that I was already in my room.
I got up and went out to find a pot of wine, and went to the master again. When they saw me like this, they didn't persuade me.
And I also silently sat down and made a decision, I want to stay here for the master for half a year. I rarely accompanied my master during my lifetime, and I knew it was too late to do this, but I really had no other way.
Originally, I wanted to keep the master for three years, but now that the ghost king has not been eliminated, and the master's revenge has not been avenged, I can't stay here for too long. The rest can only be done after these things have been done.
Day after day, one winter evening, I walked back to Qingfeng Temple from my master.
At this time, Jiusheng and several people had already brought the meal to the table.
I looked and walked in, watched the master slowly open his mouth and said, "Master uncle, I have to leave tomorrow." I'm going to retreat and dive into the Dao, and when I get out, that's when I'm going to look for the ghost kings.
In the meantime, I'd like to ask you for a favor. ”
"Say, as long as you master and I can do it." Uncle looked at me and slowly opened his mouth and said.
"I know that even if I cultivate Dao Arts, if I deal with the Ghost King, my strength is still limited. Therefore, I would like to ask everyone to act separately, everyone must gather the people of the Dao Sect in the world together, and when the time comes, everyone will definitely be able to destroy the ghost king. I don't know if the other Daomen will help, but it's a last resort. If he can't destroy the ghost king, the world will be in chaos sooner or later, although he hasn't made a move now, it doesn't mean that he won't act in the future. I said it sentence by sentence.
After hearing this, the master nodded: "You're right, we should indeed unite the people in the world's Dao sect. I promise you this, but how long will it take you to get out of the customs? ”
I shook my head: "I don't know the specifics, just set it for three years, and I'll come out in three years." When I come out, I will go back and look for you. ”
"Okay, that's it, let's sit down and eat." Master Bo said as he pointed to the empty seat.
I nodded, and sat down at the table to eat.
The next day, after I had packed my things, I went to my master's grave.
I slowly knelt down in front of the master's grave: "Master, now you have not avenged your great revenge, and the ghost king has not been eliminated. Therefore, please forgive the disciple for his unfilial piety, because the disciple has to go into retreat to improve his strength, so that I can avenge you and destroy the ghost king with the people of the world.
After I get rid of the Ghost King and avenge you, I will come back to guard you. When the time comes, I won't go anywhere, and I will spend the rest of my life in this view of the breeze. ”
With that, I kowtowed three times on the ground, then got up and left.
The direction I went, this is the place agreed with the man in black before. This time, I was still on my own.
By the time I arrived at the village, it was even more deserted. When I came here, it seemed as if I could still see the previous scenes.
Unconsciously, I walked and walked and actually came to the old house of the Li family. At first, it was my sister's home, but later it was lived by Bai Yuan's family.
I shook my head and smiled bitterly, as if what I was kicked out by the Li family was like it happened yesterday. It's just that in the blink of an eye, I've grown so big, and now I'm a thing.
Suddenly, I wanted to go to my sister's grave to have a look. To be honest, it's been a long time since I've been to see my sister.
As I did, I walked towards my sister's grave.
When I came to my sister's grave, my sister's grave was deserted for a long time, and there were many weeds that had died on it because of the winter.
I put the burden aside and began to pull the weeds off one by one. Don't look like it's just weeds, but I've been cleaning it up for a long, long time.
"Sister, the little fool has come to see you. It's been so long, are you okay? As I spoke, I sat down on the edge of my sister's grave.
"Now that the village is completely deserted, do you remember the past? That ruined house where I live, you often go there to bring me good food. Now that I think about it, it seems like it happened yesterday. Now that I think about it, I feel a little nostalgic in my heart.
To be honest, if you hadn't married that guy in the first place, and I hadn't met my master. Will our future life be something else? If Zhang Xiu had seen it a long time ago and didn't think about revenge, would you have always been my sister and always brought me food? I said as I looked in the direction of the village.
"Ideas are good, it's just that some things are predestined and can't be changed. And you have your own things to do, don't you? A voice rang out from not far away.
Then I saw a strange man. And this voice actually made me feel familiar.
"You are?" I asked, looking at the man.
He slowly walked to my side and said, "You even forgot about me, it's a pity that I have been waiting for you here for so long, I knew that I should have left early." ”
"You're the Man in Black?" I looked at the visitor and asked again.
He smiled and nodded, "Well, so to speak. Actually, I was arranged by Shangguan Xuanmu, which means that I am from the Shangguan family. We were together before, and all the news I gave you was told to me by Shangguan Xuanmu. Now that we're going into retreat, I don't think there's any need to hide it. ”
I shook my head and smiled bitterly: "I really didn't expect that this man in black was actually from Shangguan Xuanmu." Suddenly I felt that it was good to have two such friends around me. ”
