Chapter 137: Embarking on a Journey

You must know that I never dared to tell my parents about the tomb of the dragon king, and if my parents knew about the danger, I might have complained to my master, but I didn't expect that I would be on guard, but I didn't guard against my master's mouth, and he actually shook it out himself.

I think it was the same back then, if it wasn't for him drinking too much and saying things that shouldn't have been said, after the Flying Zombie incident, I would have entered the school.

Sure enough, when my master described the past of the Dragon King's Tomb, his eyebrows fluttered, but my mother's face turned white with fright.

However, when the master said that, he was not completely unconcerned, he just said that the tomb of the Dragon King was heavy and the terrain was dangerous, but he didn't say a word about things such as twisted ground corpses, fetal corpses, and ghost-eyed shovels.

It's also thanks to him that he didn't mention these things, otherwise, if Master wanted to take me to the Northeast, my mother would definitely not agree.

I also remember how he talked about Kunqu Opera in the end, but I remember that he said that he was also a loyal fan of Kunqu Opera when he was young, and said that when my master was alive, he would take him to Liyuan from time to time to listen to operas.

Speaking of Xingtou, the master also opened his voice and sang a song "Peony Pavilion" in front of everyone, as far as my master's broken gong voice is concerned, he sings Kunqu opera not like Kunqu opera, and Qin dialect is not like Qin dialect. Anyway, at that time, no matter whether I was my parents or mine, no one knew opera, and I thought that the Peony Pavilion was originally sung like this, and after the master sang it, my uncle and Wang Qiang immediately applauded.

Only Xian'er crawled on my shoulder, with a disdainful expression, and kept rolling her eyes at my master.

When my master saw that Xian'er was despising him, his old face couldn't hold back, and he yelled with Xian'er on the spot.

Even my parents didn't know that there was such a ghost as Xian'er living in my body, let alone my uncle and Wang Qiang. I remember that at that time, my master was only arguing with Xian'er, and he didn't pay attention to the reaction of other people.

But my master didn't notice it, but I did.

On that occasion, everyone present witnessed my master yelling into the air, and everyone's faces suddenly turned pale.

They all know that in this world, there is something they can't see, but people like my master can. That kind of thing, it's a ghost.

As for how Wang Qiang knew that my master could see ghosts, I don't know too well, I only know that there seems to be a deep relationship between him and my master.

Since then, I have secretly made up my mind that in the future, my master will drink with ordinary people like my uncle, and I will stop him from saying anything.

After eating and drinking, Liang Houzai and I helped the somewhat unconscious master home.

I carried Master to the bedroom and let him lie on the bed, while Liang Houzai ran to the kitchen to pour water for my Master.

I was helping Master take off his shoes, when Master suddenly said to me inexplicably, "There is a way, but you can't lose your inheritance." ”

But when I looked up at Master's face, I found that his eyes were closed, his chest was slowly rising and falling, and he was obviously asleep.

For Master, what reassures him the most is the inheritance of the upright lineage after all.

Inheritance, inheritance, for our upright disciples, inheritance is not only a great honor for us, but also a heart disease that can never get rid of.

I was worried that Master would get up in the middle of the night to find water to drink, so I never dared to leave Master's house, and stayed with Liang Houzai on a small bed in the North House for the night.

The next morning, Master got up early and took Liang Houzai and me to practice in the morning, but he didn't seem to have fully woken up from last night's wine, and the whole person looked very sluggish.

It wasn't until almost seven o'clock that my father's coughing came from our yard, and Master heard the movement and ran towards my house in a hurry.

At that time, my father was carrying a small basket and was about to go to the gate of the family courtyard to buy fritters, and when he saw my master passing, he greeted my master with a smile: "Uncle Chai, early in the morning, do you have something to do with me?" ”

My master and my father didn't have anything to be polite about, so they said straight to the point: "I plan to take my children to the Northeast, and it is estimated that it will take more than half a month to come back." ”

My dad first smiled and nodded: "Go to ......" but then found out that something was wrong, and asked my master with some concern: "Half a month, what about Yangyang's study?" ”

I was lying on the edge of the door of Master's house, looking towards our house, and I saw that my Master was a little embarrassed and said, "I just want to say this, you see, the school of Youdao has not sent out textbooks so far, he just wants to study on his own, and he doesn't have any textbooks, right?" Look, can you take a leave of absence tomorrow afternoon, take your skills in the way, I'll give you an address, and you can send the books to you. ”

My dad immediately nodded, "Oh, okay." With Uncle Chai looking at him, his homework will definitely not fall behind. Well, I have to buy fritters, and after a while there will be more people, and I have to queue up. Uncle Chai, you can send the address to my mobile phone, I will receive the textbook tomorrow and mail it directly. ”

With that, my dad hurried away.

My master shouted to my dad from a distance, "Write my name, don't forget!" ”

"Okay!" My dad answered, and the figure had disappeared around the corner of the alley.

After that, Master called my mother again and said that he would take me to the Northeast.

My mother first heard about this for more than half a month, and she was a little hesitant at first, but then she asked Master to do my homework well. My master didn't make any specific promises to my mother, but only said that my father would send the textbooks to the Northeast in two days.

Actually, my master didn't dare to make any promises, when I was in elementary school and junior high school, Master could still help me with my homework, and after I entered high school, my master couldn't play those courses. According to what my master said, he knows a little bit about what I learned after I went to high school, but he doesn't know it deeply, he can't tutor me, and he doesn't have the energy to tutor me.

My mother finally asked Master on the phone about the purpose of this trip and whether there would be any danger, and my master just reassured my mother that I would definitely not have an accident this time, but he was reluctant to mention the purpose of this trip.

I listened to the phone a few times, and then Master broke me away, so I don't know how Master tried to convince my mother.

Anyway, after that phone call, Master took me out again, and my mother didn't bother much.

In the afternoon, I packed up my salute and went to the station with Master, and took bus No. 15 to the prefecture-level city, and at about 9 o'clock in the evening, we got on the train to the northeast.

In the past, when we had to catch a train in a prefecture-level city, Senior Brother Feng usually drove us there, but not long ago, Senior Brother Feng went to the provincial capital for a meeting, and he hadn't come back when we left.

In 2002, there were still no fast trains such as bullet trains and high-speed railways, and it took a whole day to take a train from prefecture-level cities to the northeast.

Because the textbooks have not been distributed yet, this time Liang Houzai and I did not bring homework, and at first there were talking and laughing, but after a while, I felt bored.

At that time, because of the beginning of the school season of major colleges and universities, a large number of students returned to school, and the sleeper carriage was overcrowded.

It is not easy for these students to go to university in other places, we take a day to take the train from Shandong to the northeast, and those students whose homes are in the south, there are no direct trains in many places, and they have to go through several transfers along the way, and it takes at least three or four days to reach the destination.

In addition, it is rare to buy a ticket along the way, and many people stand up almost the whole time during the three- or four-day journey.

The annual holiday and the start of school must be difficult for them.

My master also saw the tiredness on the faces of a few students before he kindly vacated the bed, but a young man sleeping opposite my master was quite disgusted by Master's actions, and when he saw my master leading such a group of people into our carriage, he shouted: "Hey, old man, what are you doing? If you let these people in, how can I sleep! ”

As he spoke, he straightened his clothes, and I saw a large logo on his chest, as if it was some very expensive luxury brand. After he exposed the logo, he looked at the students who had just entered the carriage with a very disdainful look.

I remember very clearly, listening to that person's accent at that time, it turned out to be from my hometown, and my face immediately felt ashamed, for no other reason, but to feel ashamed. Our people have always been very simple, anyway, the people I have come into contact with, no matter how high or low their status, are very sincere. But how did you encounter such a strange thing today?

My master didn't speak, staring at the man quietly, and suddenly his eyes narrowed.

Then the man stopped talking.

The majesty of my master has not changed at all after so many years, and I still remember the first time my master squinted at me like this, I was so frightened that I almost knelt down for him.

The master asked the students to sit on the lower bunk, and then he looked out the window in a daze.

I was really bored, so I wanted to talk to Xian'er, but at this time Xian'er fell asleep again, and since I brought the Soul Nourishing Jade, she became very sleepy, and she was only awake for eight hours a day. According to Xian'er herself, after she was nourished by this soul-nourishing jade for eight years, she would be able to completely return to her original appearance, but by that time, the spiritual power on the soul-nourishing jade would also be exhausted.

Xian'er also said that when she fully recovers, she won't have to live on me all the time, and by that time, my Dao should be deep enough, even if she is 108,000 miles away from me, I won't be affected.

I was looking forward to that day, and I thought that one day I would be able to get rid of Xian'er completely.
