Chapter Seventy-Eight: What is the Human Heart?

This is a gentle and elegant middle-aged man, with a good demeanor, although the years have left traces on his face, but it can be vaguely seen that he must have been a beautiful man when he was young.

He is my elder brother, who used to be regarded by Master as a parent, and now he is ......

"Your master is an old fox, and your senior brother is a poisonous snake......"

The words of Wang Yao's father came to my mind, but when I saw this middle-aged man with an elegant temperament and a kind smile, it was really difficult for me to associate him with the so-called poisonous snake.

Knowing people, knowing faces, not knowing hearts!

It can only be said that the senior brother is too deeply hidden, or that the current senior brother is no longer the former senior brother.

He took Lu Ying and Miao Chun into the bar, and he didn't even look at the grandson in the booth over there. Walk straight to the bar.

I clearly saw Master's hand trembling slightly at the bar, and although the movement was very subtle, I caught it. The master picked up the wine glass, as if he didn't see the senior brothers, and tasted the wine silently.

At this time, the atmosphere in the bar was very strange, there was no small contradiction between the pair of grandchildren, masters, and senior brothers, the Wang family had been chasing and killing the master for forty years, and some time ago, the senior brother and the master teamed up to kill the second-in-command of the Wang family, that is, Wang Yao's father.

The Wang family wanted to get the thirteen runes of that treasure, and the senior brother seemed to have a peep mentality about that treasure, let alone the master. This should be regarded as an endless death! How can it be so calm?

The senior brother came to the bar and sat directly next to the master, while Lu Ying and Miao Chun sat on the other side of the bar, and opened a distance from this side, as if they deliberately let the senior brother and the master be alone.

The elder brother sat down next to the master, but he didn't say anything to the master, but turned his head to me with a soft gaze. With a kind smile on his face, he said softly: "Have a glass of spirits, the same as my master!" ”

I glanced at him, and then looked at the master who was silent and seemed to treat the senior brother as air, and my mood was a little complicated, so I didn't say anything, and directly poured a glass of wine for the senior brother.

He took the wine glass, looked at me, with a strange smile in his eyes, and said softly, "You are the disciple that Master accepted three years ago!" My little brother! ”

Then, he looked at the master, smiled and said softly, "Master, when I left your side, I was only a little older than the junior brother!" It's been more than 20 years in the blink of an eye, and Master has aged a lot! ”

When he said this, I was stunned for a moment, how did it look like he hadn't seen the master some time ago, didn't they join forces to kill ......

"You've changed a lot, too!" The master didn't look at him, and responded in a deep voice.

The senior brother smiled, played with the wine glass in his hand, looked at the master, the smile on his face did not decrease, and said softly: "People will always change!" ”

Master was silent and did not respond.

Senior Brother turned his gaze to me, smiled and stretched out his hand, and said, "Little Senior Brother, it's a pleasure to meet you!" ”

I don't know how to respond to him, but I always feel that it's a bit wrong to ignore him, after all, don't hit the smiling person!

Just as I was smiling reluctantly and stretching out my hand to shake hands with him, Master's wine glass suddenly blocked my hand, and at the same time, Master looked at me with burning eyes and said in a deep voice, "This wine is good, another glass!" ”

Master's abrupt action made me flutter for a moment, but I was not stupid, and I instantly understood what Master meant. Glancing at the white hand stretched out by the senior brother, the corners of my eyes twitched, and then I ignored the senior brother and poured wine for the master.

The senior brother smiled and withdrew his hand, looking at the master, his eyes were a little strange, and he did not speak.

When I poured the wine and handed it to Master, Senior Brother suddenly smiled and said, "Master." You value your little brother very much! As his elder brother, can't we shake hands and say hello to each other? It really hurts your disciple's heart to do this all the time! ”

"Gao Chen, don't come to this!" The master sighed lightly, stared at the senior brother with a dead gaze, and said in a deep voice: "As long as I am not dead, you don't want to beat your little junior brother!" ”

Senior Brother smiled. He looked at the master with a strange gaze and said, "You always misunderstand me too deeply, I really just want to say hello to the little junior brother, really, I don't have any other ideas!" ”

As he spoke, the senior brother looked like he suddenly remembered something. patted his head and said with a wry smile: "Look at my brain, I almost forgot one thing." Master, I have changed my name, I don't have your old surname, my name is Gu Chen now. Or you can call me Buliu Guchen! ”

As soon as he finished saying this, I saw Master's hand shake violently, and half of the glass of wine in his hand spilled out at once. Master's face became ugly, extremely ugly, and his eyes were staring at the senior brother.

The elder brother smiled, but now his smile was mixed with something else. He said in a very gentle tone, "Dear Master, why do you always have such a big reaction? Have you ever heard of the surname Bu Liugu? It is said to be a very old surname! ”

"Bang~" The glass wine glass in Master's hand was crushed by him, and the glass slag pierced into his palm, and blood flowed out. But as if the master didn't know the pain, his eyes were still staring at the senior brother, and his eyes were terrifying.

The senior brother looked at the master, the smile on his face gradually subsided a little, and said in a somewhat gloomy voice: "One of the eight royal families of Xianbei in the Northern Wei Dynasty, this surname has a noble bloodline, and after historical changes, this surname has been submerged in the long river of history. It's just that in a certain mountainous area, there is still a village that inherits this weak bloodline. It's a pity. Forty years ago, that village was wiped out, and the whole village was wiped out by 187 people, leaving no chickens and dogs, isn't it cruel? ”

Senior Brother took a deep breath and looked at Master. Wen Sheng said: "Master, I always thought I was an orphan, really, I hate my parents for abandoning me!" I asked you a question before and you didn't give me the answer I was looking for. Today, I want to ask you again...... Why did my parents abandon me? ”

The master did not respond, his body trembled a little, and a little pain appeared on his face, and there was a faint trace of guilt.

"Forget it, put this question aside for now, and the disciple will ask another question now!" Senior Brother looked at Master with a smile and said softly, "Have you ever regretted it?" It's not that you regret destroying that village, but that you don't regret not killing me at that time! ”

"How do you know?" The master spoke, his voice hoarse, his eyes bloodshot, and said in a deep voice, "You can't know about that!" ”

Hearing my master's confession, my heart was half cold. Even though it didn't happen to me, I still felt like my heart was trembling.

Forty years ago, Master slaughtered Senior Brother's village. The senior brother was adopted by the master, and the master regarded the master as a father, and the master treated the senior brother like a parent, which ......

If it were me, I would have gone crazy when I found out that the man who treated me like a father and mother was the culprit who killed my whole clan and made me an orphan!

Master, have you raised your senior brother all these years to make up for the guilt you felt back then?

The human heart, what is the human heart? Good and evil are only in a thought!

Faced with Master's question, Senior Brother smiled, turned his head to look at Lu Ying who was lying on the bar not far away, and said softly: "Xiaoying, say hello to my master!" ”

"Step 6 Lonely Shadow, I've seen my seniors, and my seniors can also call me Lonely Shadow!" Lu Ying looked at the master expressionlessly, and said lightly: "When the seniors slaughtered the village, it happened that the younger grandfather went out. After returning to the village, the seniors have left, and the grandfathers of the younger generations witnessed all this, and the younger generations are here to thank the seniors for their kindness in leaving blood in the village, otherwise the younger generations would not be here today! ”

I looked at Lu Ying in a daze, and the master also looked at Lu Ying in a daze. None of us spoke.

"A few years ago, I met Kage's grandfather in the ghost market!" Senior Brother smiled, looked at the stunned master, and said softly: "After learning about the events of the year, do you always know what kind of mood I have?" ”

The corners of Master's mouth twitched, and his fists clenched. The glass slag in his hand pierced deeper, and blood flowed everywhere on the bar.

"You raised me, taught me Taoism, and taught me everything you have learned, and I am grateful to you!" Senior Brother looked at the master with a strange gaze, and said with a light sigh: "Even if you seriously injured me back then, I didn't hold a grudge against you, really, I really didn't hate you that time." I know you expect too much from me, but at that time, I really didn't want to kill Senior Brother Miao Chun! I came to this bar and was rescued by Wang Yao, who sent me to the ghost market, where I originally wanted to disappear from the world from now on......"

"But......" Senior Brother paused, seeing that Master's gaze became extremely complicated, and muttered, "It would be nice if you were more careful back then, how good it would be if you found Xiaoying's grandfather back then, and how good it would be if you didn't have a good intention to adopt me back then, but cut down the grass and kill me......

"......What ifs," Senior Brother shook his head and laughed at himself, "How can there be so many what ifs in this world!" ”

"I was wrong!" The master took a deep breath, looked at the senior brother, and said very seriously: "I really should have killed you back then, and I thought of kindness to make it like this!" ”

The senior brother looked at the master with a strange smile on his face and said, "It's too late, you have to pay the price if you do something wrong, this is what you taught me!" ”

The master looked at the senior brother, his face was complicated, and he did not respond.

Senior Brother knocked lightly on the bar and said softly to Master: "I don't care about other things, and I don't want to know why you did that back then, I want to ask for an explanation for the surname Bu Liugu now, dear Master, I am not wrong to do this, right?" ”

"Yes, it should be!" Master's face was complicated. The voice was a little bitter.

"Ahem......" At this moment, the old man who was sitting at the booth not far away and had not said a word coughed lightly, looked here, and said lightly: "The matter between your master and apprentice can be put aside first, since the people have already arrived, we can also talk about the treasure of the Heavenly Master Dao!" ”

The senior brother smiled at the old man, then picked up the wine glass in his hand, drank all the wine inside, put the empty glass on the bar, looked at the master and said softly: "The wine is good wine, but it is not strong enough, the disciple's heart has been completely cold three years ago, and I don't know how much strong wine I drink tonight can make this frozen heart a little warmer!" ”

After speaking, the senior brother smiled at me and said, "Little junior brother, prepare a little more spirits tonight, the strongest one, senior brother, I want to drink it once!" ”

Then, Senior Brother ignored me and Master, and walked towards the booth where the pair of grandchildren were with a smile, followed by Miao Chun and Lu Ying.
