Chapter 232: Superficial Harmony
Since the demonic aura outside the village had dissipated, Liu Shangang's mobile phone was connected to the signal again, and he called my master, saying that Zhu Gang's matter had been basically dealt with, and asked my master how to get Zhu Gang and them out of the village. When we returned to the village, Zhu Gang and the others had not yet woken up.
Master briefly asked me about the whole thing, and I was proud to tell me all about using the Great Void Technique and the Blood Talisman to suppress the Rakshasa, and I also added fuel to the story of my successful drawing.
I thought that Master would at least praise me twice, but Master didn't seem to care about these at all, and kept asking about the Soul Attraction Lamp and the Soul Hook Lock.
I don't know much about the two magic weapons in the Soul Village, and I can't say why.
At noon the next day, a convoy of more than a dozen cars came to the village, with Hu Nanqian and my master sitting in the first car, and the cars in the back were all brought by Zhu Gang's wife.
At that time, Zhu Gang and his party still hadn't woken up, and I was still thinking about how to explain this to Zhu Gang's family, when the master got out of the car and strode to me. ”
I only looked in the mirror the night before, and the so-called broken image was actually a one-centimeter-long wound on the left side of my face, which was so deep that it might have to be scarred in the future.
But I don't care, anyway, even if the scar is just a small one centimeter long, it doesn't affect me much.
After Hu Nanqian came, she naturally went to finish the matter on Zhu Gang's side, and the master took me to Luweidang, originally the master wanted to bring me over alone, but Yan Xiaotian had to follow, and the master didn't stop him.
At this time, there was a slow flow of water in the reedy river, and even the originally bare riverbed gave birth to new grass shoots.
The Master walked straight to the place where the Rakshasa had finally landed, crouched down, dipped his fingers in the colorless grease that remained on the ground, and sniffed his fingers across his nose.
"A thousand-year-old corpse," Master raised his head as he wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, and asked me with a smile, "Did you really handle it alone?" ”
I really wanted to ask for credit in front of the master, but in front of Yan Xiaotian, I didn't dare to say it too much, so I thought about being modest.
But before I could think of the wording, Yan Xiaotian sighed and said to my master: "It's all handled by one person, and when Rakshasa appeared, the corpse poison on her body alone made me unable to move." ”
The master didn't speak, and kept looking at Yan Xiaotian.
After a while, Yan Xiaotian smiled bitterly again: "This time I lost, I didn't expect to lose so completely." ”
Master stood up, patted Yan Xiaotian on the shoulder, and said, "Don't care about winning or losing like this, this time the business, Jisoulzhuang and Baiwu Mountain have a share, I heard Liu Shangang say, a few days ago, if you hadn't successfully diverted Huang Daxian's attention, it would have been impossible for them to find out Zhu Gang's whereabouts." ”
Yan Xiaotian also raised his head and looked at my master, he was silent for a long time, but he didn't say a word.
My master took out a cigarette stick and lit a pot of tobacco leaves. He first let out a long breath of cloud smoke, and then looked at the gentle water in the river, and said slowly: "Baiwu Mountain and Jisoulzhuang have been entangled for so many years, and they have always wanted to compete for a high or low, and they are all people in the same way, what is the point of fighting like this?" Youdao, Yan Xiaotian, Baiwu Mountain and Jisoulzhuang have finally had such an opportunity in your generation, you should cherish it. ”
I can probably guess what Master is referring to by opportunity.
Yan Xiaotian also seemed to understand Master's words, he stretched out his hands, and gave a respectful hug to my Master, and then turned around and left the reeds.
I watched Yan Xiaotian's back go away, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loneliness in my heart, I felt that his shadow on the ground under the bright sun had a kind of indescribable loneliness, but I couldn't tell why I felt this way.
Master said to me, "In the future, you will walk around with Yan Xiaotian more, if one day he takes charge of Baiwu Mountain, maybe he can really change the thousand-year-old pattern of Baiwu Mountain." ”
I looked at Master, who smiled at me again and said nothing.
After that, Master took back the Qinggang Sword and Fantian Seal from me, and performed a ritual in the reeds, dispelling the resentment that had been entrenched here for many years, and even the wandering spirits hidden in the village were also overtaken by Master.
Speaking of transcending the wandering soul, in fact, my master only used the meditation that was transmitted from Buddhism to the Soul Village, entered the meditation with great compassion, and then transcended the soul with the Tao Te Ching.
It was also the first time I knew that meditation could have such an effect, but Master could use meditation to transcend the soul, but I couldn't, and in the final analysis, it was because my own mental power was too weak.
When I relied on the Great Void Technique and the Blood Talisman to suppress the Rakshasa before, I was still complacent that my cultivation should be at least half of Master's, but now it seems that the gap between me and Master is still very huge.
After finishing the rituals, Master was about to leave the reeds, and when the two of us were about to walk out of the canyon, Master suddenly stuffed a bank card into me.
I looked at the bank card in my hand, and it was still a gold card.
As he walked, the master said to me: "I won't care about Hu Nanqian's business in the future, you can take care of it alone, this card is the card of Jisoul Village, and the money earned from each business will be traded into this card, and the rest of the one percent, you can do it yourself." By the way, Liu Shangang asked Senior Brother Bao to investigate Yan Xiaotian's tracking before, and the results have come out. Guess who is the person who is tracking Yan Xiaotian? ”
At this, Master stopped and turned his head to look at me.
I looked at the master, thought about it, and then asked tentatively, "Could it be Luo Youfang?" ”
The master raised his eyebrows and said, "Luo Youfang, you can't get through this hurdle or what, do you doubt him for anything?" Yan Xiaotian's affairs have nothing to do with Luo Youfang, and the person who follows him is his master, Zhao Dekai. ”
I couldn't turn a corner: "Zhao Dekai? Why did he follow Yan Xiaotian? ”
The master lit another pot of dry tobacco, and while smoking, he said to me: "Bao Youyou once sent someone to investigate the relationship between Yan Xiaotian and Zhao Dekai, but in fact, the relationship between their master and apprentice is not as good as imagined...... In other words, it is not as good as Yan Xiaotian imagined. Hehe, Zhao Dekai is a person with great ambitions, and now the old master insists on passing the throne to Yan Xiaotian after a hundred years, Zhao Dekai must have a hundred dissatisfaction in his heart, but the old master is still alive after all, he doesn't dare to do anything to Yan Xiaotian on the surface, but behind his back, his hands and feet are extremely unclean. ”
I asked Master with some concern: "Yan Xiaotian lost his business this time, Zhao Dekai won't embarrass him, right?" ”
The master spat out a puff of smoke and said, "I have already discussed with Hu Nanqian, you and Yan Xiaotian will each take half of the commission for this business." Hu Nanqian's business has always been taken care of by our Soul Village, and Yan Xiaotian can still get half of the commission when he meets our master and apprentice, which is already a big face. In this way, he can also have an explanation when he returns to Baiwu Mountain, and even if Zhao Dekai wants to be unfavorable to Yan Xiaotian at that time, it will not make sense from a reasonable point of view. However, Yan Xiaotian can be regarded as an outlier in Baiwu Mountain, you walk around with him, for the time being, it is only a personal relationship, this time, half of the business in Baiwu Mountain has been robbed by you, and other disciples in their line may have a grudge against you, so in the future, you still have to be more careful when you meet someone from Baiwu Mountain. ”
Master's words are very long, and I feel annoyed when I listen to them, not because I am annoyed by my master, but because I am disgusted with Baiwushan, and I hate dealing with this kind of sect the most, and I have to take into account their feelings on the face, and secretly beware of their calculations.
In my opinion, a sect like this might as well be burned clean.
I was thinking about this in my heart when Master suddenly reached out and patted me on the shoulder and said to me, "Okay, don't think about it too much, the people of Baiwu Mountain may not trouble you." All in all, you handled this matter quite well, and I didn't pretend that I had taught you for so many years, but you want to bring Wong Tai Sin back to Shandong, have you really thought about this matter? ”
I nodded at the master: "I think that Huang Daxian is not bad, and he can let him keep an eye on it in the future." Moreover, the soul-attracting lamp and the soul-hooking lock fell into his hands, which seemed to be a kind of chance. ”
Before I could finish speaking, the master waved his hand at me: "Well, these two things flowed into the Soul Village during the Western Han Dynasty, but after the first ancestor took charge of the Soul Village, they were actually gone, and it was indeed a chance that Huang Tai Sin could get them." ”
Hearing Master say this, I suddenly remembered the reaction of Rakshasa after hearing the words "Soul Village" when I fought with Rakshasa until she completely disappeared, and she was still chanting the name of Master Zu in her mouth.
I told Master about these things, and Master also frowned: "You mean, that Rakshasa Ancient Corpse is related to our Soul Village?" ”
I said, "Probably, anyway, since the Rakshasa knows the name of the ancestor master, maybe...... She and Master Zu knew each other. ”
The master bowed his head and muttered for a while, then gave me the Fantian Seal and said to me, "In the future, the Fantian Seal will be placed with you, and it is useless for me to keep it." ”
I looked at the Fantian seal in my arms, and then at the master, completely unable to understand why the master did this.
The master beckoned me to continue walking, and said to me: "After a while, you and I will go back to the Soul Village, during this time, you should study the Fan Tian Seal carefully, for more than a thousand years, you are the only person who can urge the Fan Tian Yin, and the secret door of the Ji Soul Village has also come to open." ”
I was so confused by Master's words that I couldn't figure out what he was trying to say.
But after the master finished speaking, he fell silent, and his eyes kept on the road, as if he was thinking about something.
I know that at times like these, no matter how much I ask, Master will no longer respond to me. After following him for so many years, he ignored people's problems as soon as he entered into contemplation, and there was no improvement.
