When I was about to reach the middle of the bridge, there was a sudden cold wind on the river, and the wind came so quickly that I felt as if I had been grazed by an ice pick on the back of my neck, and the chill quickly extended from my neck to my whole spine, and I shivered twice.

At this moment, the black thread hanging on my neck suddenly broke, and the jade pendant also slipped on the spot, I subconsciously stretched out my hand and wanted to grab it, but it fell too fast, and in the blink of an eye, it fell into the river and was swallowed by the rushing river.

Master Du glanced at the yellow soup in the river and said lightly: "When spring opens next year, the water in the river will be clear." ”

I looked up and asked him, "Why?" ”

Master Du didn't respond, just smiled at me.

Before I knew it, I had followed Master Du to the other end of the bridge, and the sun was shining evenly on my body, and I realized that it would not burn people like boiling water, but would bring comfort and warmth.

It was the first time I had been basking in the sun for the first time in my memory.

Master Du stuffed an egg-like thing into my hand: "You have been in the yin qi for a long time, and you can't see the yang yet, hold it tight, don't let go." ”

I didn't see what it was in my hand, so I closed my five fingers and clenched it tightly according to Master Du's words.

It felt like a round hockey puck, and since I clenched it, the warmth of the sun disappeared, and on the contrary, I could still feel a chill all over my body, but this chill was softer and didn't cause too much discomfort.

Master Du touched my head, then turned to my grandfather on the other side of the stone bridge and shouted, "I took the child away." ”

Grandpa rushed over like a gust of wind, grabbed Master Du's arm and said, "Master Du, you have to think about it, once you take him away, your life will be tied to him!" ”

Master Du smiled faintly: "Only I can take him away." ”

When Master Du said this, I saw Grandpa slam hit a spirit, and then he slowly let Master Du go.

After a while, Grandpa said to Master Du again: "This kid is a disaster, Master Du don't regret it." ”

Master Du still smiled: "It's better to be poor for a lifetime than to break the inheritance." ”

To be honest, in my opinion at the time, this conversation was no different from the Book of Heaven, and it was impossible to understand it, and the reason why I can still remember it clearly is because at that moment, I found that both Grandpa and Master Du exuded exactly the same breath.

That breath is called resoluteness.

After that, Master Du picked me up and strode towards the entrance of the village.

Grandpa stood at the head of the bridge, looking at me and Master Du motionlessly, and it was not until Master Du walked far away that he raised his arms and waved at me desperately.

Because it was so far away, I couldn't sense my grandfather's breath, and I just thought he was coaxing me to play, so I also raised my hand and waved at him desperately.

When I was about to leave the village, I saw the second uncle and Aunt Yun standing on the roof not far away, so I smiled and waved at them, and I thought that the second uncle and Aunt Yun would follow.

But they were just like my grandfather, just standing there, looking at me from afar.

Later, Master Du carried me out of the village, and Aunt Yun shouted loudly: "When you go outside, listen to Master's words, don't make Master angry!" ”

At first, I happily replied, "Huh! But as Master Du took me farther and farther, Aunt Yun's figure became smaller and smaller, and I began to worry again, out of the village, can I still see Aunt Yun and the second uncle, can I still see the grandfather and uncle?

I couldn't bear the apprehension in my heart, so I asked Master Du: "Master Du, can I still see Aunt Yun and them in the future?" ”

"Yes, you'll be back in eighteen years."

"How long is eighteen years?"

Master Du opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word, he closed his mouth again, I looked at him intently, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't give me a response.

At that time, I suddenly realized that eighteen years may be a long time, and I don't know why, my heart was sour, and my mouth began to cry.

But while crying, I hugged Master Du's neck hard, for fear that he would put me down.

Naturally, Master Du didn't put me down, he gently patted me on the back, and at the same time bent and led me into a loess ditch, which was four or five meters deep, but very narrow, and when Master Du walked in it with me, he had to lean over from time to time.

At first, I just kept crying, but as Master Du went deeper and deeper, I felt as if my neck was being pressed by something, and I could only put my head on Master Du's shoulder, and I couldn't lift it.

It wasn't Master Du pressing me with his hand, he was holding me with one hand on my lap and the other hand protecting my back.

This invisible pressure made me very nervous, I stopped crying, sobbed and said to Master Du, "Master Du, my neck is heavy. ”

Hearing me say this, Master Du immediately stopped. He leaned over, turned his head to look behind him for a moment, and muttered softly, "Can't the Three Immortal Talismans control it?" What a hassle. ”

As he spoke, Master Du raised his head and tapped the back of my neck with his finger.

I felt a warmth in my neck, and then the pressure was gone.

Master Du held me steady again and continued to walk along the ditch, and as he walked, he said to me in a calm tone, "You can't call Master Du anymore, you have to call me Master." ”

"Oh, I see, there's a 'Du' missing."

"It's not just as simple as missing one word, Master and Master have different meanings."

"Oh."

"What are you nodding, do you understand what I just said?"

"I don't understand."

"If you call 'Master,' you'll know what's the difference."

"Master."

"How's that, isn't it different?"

"I don't think so. But Master, as soon as I say that, the aura on your body changes. ”

"Breath changed? What has become of it? ”

"Well, you've been sullen just now, and now you're very happy."

When I said this, Master's face was full of smiles, and he unconsciously folded his arms and hugged me tighter.

As soon as the ditch was excavated, the master stopped again, turned around and looked into the ditch, and I looked back like him, and the moment I turned around, a black shadow suddenly jumped through the depths of the ditch, but before I could see what it was, it disappeared without a trace.

"Master, did you see it, a black shadow flashed just now."

As I spoke, I wanted to raise my hand and point to the spot where the shadow had just appeared.

But Master grabbed my wrist: "Don't point fingers, if you let it know you can see it, we'll have a lot of trouble." ”

Master deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke, and I quickly lowered my voice and whispered, "Oh, then I don't refer to it, let it think I didn't see it." ”
