Chapter 137: The Sixth Master's Worries
She left without reluctance or grief.
It's a very calm feeling....... It seems that the passage of thousands of years has made her see through a lot....... The separation of life and death is no longer a big deal for her.
When her body was blown away by the mountain wind, I could see that she wanted to turn around, but suddenly stopped.
Maybe she wanted to see us again, maybe she had something else to say, but she didn't turn around.
Anyway, after seeing her off in person, I found myself not as sad as I thought.
On the contrary, I felt a little relieved.
Because for her, in addition to returning to the afterlife unharmed, another good option is death.
Maybe she herself thought that she would endlessly stay in the world in a soul state, and she could only move in the Trapped Heaven Mountain...... Countless years had passed, and she didn't want to go on like this.
To be honest, I can't say for sure how devout she is to the Immortal King, but as far as I can tell, she does attach great importance to the Immortal King and respects it.
But in the final analysis, she is only a descendant, and some torments are not something she can bear.
In this case....... Death was just a relief for her, not a bad thing.
"Shi'an, I am her, she is me....... She shouldn't really be dead, right? Chen Qiuyan came to my side with red eyes and asked in a low voice, "It's just gone, right?" ”
"It's not death, it's not disappearing." I smiled and gently rubbed her hair: "It's home." ”
Hearing me say this, Chen Qiuyan didn't say anything more, hugged my arm tightly, didn't know what she was thinking, and her expression looked a little confused.
When I took Chen Qiuyan down the mountain, I found that the poisonous fog on the mountain had also dissipated, as if it had never existed, and had disappeared without a trace, leaving not even a trace.
All of them went down the mountain early, and when we walked out of the woods, the wounded had already dug a pit in the ground and were ready to get food.
There were three in a row, all of them freshly dug out of the fire pit, and they were full of dry wood.
When we walked over, Fang Shiliang was still like a second fool, pouting and lying on the ground, taking a lighter and pointing it in.
It is estimated that Fang Shiliang lit the fire too carefully, and when we walked behind him, he couldn't find us, and kept repeating the short process of ignition, failure, and scolding the street.
Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but raise my foot and kick him in the ass, crying and laughing, "Can't you find some ignition objects?" How hard is it to order the stake directly? ”
"It's your business." Fang Shiliang glanced at me, rubbed his buttocks, and scolded and said, "If you hadn't influenced Lao Tzu behind your back, just that point, Zhun Burn!" ”
"Burn a chicken feather." Song Butian squatted on the side and glared at Fang Shiliang viciously: "If you waste any more time, we will beat you, those old-timers are still hungry!" ”
Fang Shiliang smacked his lips, didn't speak, casually threw the lighter to Song Butian, patted his ass and stood up.
"Done?" Fang Shiliang asked me.
"Well, she's gone." I nodded, glanced at the pots and pans on the ground again, and only felt a little surprised: "Who brought all this equipment?" What about picnics? ”
Fang Shiliang didn't say anything, raised his hand and pointed at Chen Qiuyan.
"I ...... I just thought those compressed cookies were so bad....... And it's not difficult to get some food on the road......." Chen Qiuyan blushed and explained with some embarrassment: "It's better to cook something and eat it than biscuits, isn't it!" ”
"Hey, don't say it, I still have a question I forgot to ask......" I looked at Chen Qiuyan curiously and asked in a low voice, "How did you know that I was coming to Shennongjia?" ”
Hearing this question, Chen Qiuyan and Fang Shiliang looked at each other for a while, their expressions a little crying and laughing.
"Meng's name." Fang Shiliang said with a smile: "At first, we didn't expect you to come, but we heard that there was a situation here in Shennongjia, and many gentlemen were rushing here, so we came over to join in the fun." ”
"I heard that this incident was related to the old religion, so I thought....... Maybe you'll come too. Chen Qiuyan hugged my arm and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it to be true!" ”
"I'm sure I'll be able to guess it!" Fang Shiliang smiled and handed me a cigarette, with a look that I expected: "Can we still understand Lao Shen's temper?" The old sect played such a big move, he got it 100 percent, and the field he lost in the three eastern provinces last time, won't he get it back this time? ”
At this time, the sixth master gave me a look and motioned for me to come over, as if he had something to say to me.
I didn't say anything, I casually found a reason to walk away, and walked up to the sixth master in a few steps and asked, "What's wrong with the sixth master?" ”
"Are you going back to Xiangjiang?" The sixth master asked me with a frown.
"Or else? Where else can I go? I smiled wryly, "You don't welcome me, do you?" ”
"Shit is not welcome, but I'm just a little worried about you......" The sixth master said, his expression became helpless, as if he remembered some old things, and sighed and said: "I suffered a loss at the beginning, but I don't want you to suffer a second time." ”
"What do you mean?" I looked at the sixth master in a daze, and my heart also lifted, even if I was stupid, I knew that what the sixth master said was not a good thing, and the reason why he didn't want me to go back to Xiangjiang must have his reason in it.
The sixth master thought about it, and finally leaned into my ear and whispered.
"You know those neighbors in the mountains, right? Those are the people closest to the ancients, this place we came to was the first to be discovered by them, this is a holy place for them, if it weren't for the old man's painstaking persuasion....... As soon as they heard that the old religion was coming here to make trouble, they would definitely have to rush over to stir up the situation. ”
"So what?" I asked tentatively.
"I didn't know them very well at first, so after getting some ancient energy, as soon as I returned to the mountain, they tried to kill me, saying that I had seized the power of their ancestors......."
Speaking of this, the sixth master looked quite helpless, and said with a sad face: "Look at it, who am I provoking whom?" If it weren't for the sixth master, I had two brushes, and I would have killed those turtle grandsons a long time ago. ”
"Where's Master Xiang?" I asked, confused, "He didn't help you?" ”
"The master was in retreat at that time, and he didn't know that something had happened to me at all, and it was later because of some coincidences that I repaired the relationship with them, of course, and then those grandsons were also more sensible, and they didn't like to make a fuss."
The sixth master sighed: "In their eyes, you are an outsider, but that old thing looks up to you, so as soon as the old man said that you were going to come to this place to take some things, they didn't embarrass you." ”
At this moment, the "old things" in the mouth of the sixth master are the ancestors in the mouths of those deformed children.
Not to mention, if the sixth master hadn't revealed these news to me, I wouldn't have known that there were such conflicts between them.
But I was also a little puzzled, and I couldn't help but ask the sixth master, weren't all those deformed children picked up by you? Why did he shout and kill you when it came to the matter of the ancients? Is this a great rebellion or a righteous annihilation?
The sixth master was not polite, and slapped me on the back of the head without hesitation.
"Of course it's a big rebellion!" The sixth master said with a smile and a smile: "But to be honest, none of the children we picked up dealt with me, and the people who got into trouble with me were some foreign adults." ”
"This is the evil result of the inconsistency of living conditions!" I sighed: "Sixth master, tell you the truth, do they have to clean me up when I go back to Xiangjiang?" ”
"What do you say?" The sixth master gave me a blank look, and his expression was a little worried: "Although they can't kill you, you definitely don't feel good....... You rabbit has collapsed this mountain, and you want to have some good fruit to eat? ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but be silent.
"This mountain is the ancestral tomb for them, you went into the grave bag and took the gold and silver treasures, not to mention, but also dug up the ancestral grave, you can talk about .......it" The sixth master looked at me with a smile and a heavy pat on the shoulder: "Of course, I will definitely protect you after you go back, but whether you can keep it depends on two words." ”
"Actually, it's nothing...... I feel like this situation should be under control......." I muttered, took a puff of my cigarette, felt my head gradually sober up, and my tone became much more relaxed: "Anyway, they can't beat me, it's a big deal, they don't even count as descendants of the ancients, I'm a real apprentice, the apprentice of the Immortal King!" ”
