Chapter 17: Not My Father

Speaking of Xiao Jiu'er's master, Xiao Jiu'er looked a little embarrassed. What's so embarrassing about this, isn't your master your father, could there be someone else?

"My master, not my father."

Xiao Jiu'er's answer really fulfilled what I thought in my heart, oh god! Your master is really not your father!

"Who's that?"

Faced with my surprised question, Xiao Jiu'er pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "It's a monk." ”

"Nonsense! Isn't your father also a monk? ”

"It's not! It's another monk. ”

"Huh?"

"In the Three Treasures Bodhi Temple in Suzaku Mountain, there is a monk named 'Ethereal', and he is my master."

"Suzaku Mountain, Sanbao Bodhi Temple, I know these two places, but your fortune-telling method should be arithmetic, right? I believe that your father would do this before he became a monk, but can a person who was originally a monk also know Taoism? ”

"My Master...... Very mysterious! It is estimated that no one knows his origin, but at most he knows that he has been in the mountains for a long time, and has been there since the Qianlong period. ”

"Shenma? During the Qianlong period! You might as well just say that he is an immortal Buddha! ”

"You're right, he's hundreds of years old, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he is an immortal Buddha!"

"Go! Just fool yourself! How many hundred years old? The most I know is to live to be more than 100 years old, a few hundred years old! Isn't that long before he entered the national research center to be studied? ”

"My master is not an ordinary person, it is impossible to use him for research, and it is difficult to find him, and I also got him to have such attainments by chance! My dad didn't plan to let me learn this when I was a kid, and he said I wasn't in this business at all. But fate played a joke on both my dad and me. ”

"Huh? What the hell is going on? Let's talk about it? ”

I sat up from the bed and looked out the window to see that it was still dark, there should be some time before dawn, and it would be good to listen to Xiao Jiu'er's story, and I would make other plans after dawn.

Xiao Jiu'er also sat up, tidied up her somewhat messy clothes, and thought about it.

In fact, we didn't go deep into anything, and Xiao Jiu'er and I were still a little restrained about the little thing between men and women, and no one could pierce that layer of window paper first. This is perhaps the biggest difficulty of any first step in life! I don't know how other people do it. Anyway, I have more than enough heart and less strength, Xiao Jiu'er is more reserved than me, I think I have to think about it seriously when I have time!

But now that we're talking about Xiao Jiu'er's master, let's listen to the story she told first. I don't think his story has something to do with me, but it's just a fleeting thought, like a meteor in the night sky!

There was a sudden pain in my heart, as if something was about to leave me! And what is going to leave me seems to be the most important thing in my heart. But what it was, I don't know now, not even the clues. It's just a pain in my heart, like a pain in my heart, and the pain is like digging out a piece of meat in my heart!

When I was struggling with the root of this feeling that suddenly appeared in my heart, Xiao Jiu'er suddenly spoke, and all the thoughts in my head suddenly disappeared. It's as if the heartache just now didn't occur at all, and I don't feel the heartache at all!

"When I was a child, my father was a fortune teller who set up a street stall, and my mother left the two of us early because he didn't do his job. My father took me with me, and I have been living a tight life, and I have grown up little by little under a lot of contempt and cold eyes. ”

Oh! Hearing Xiao Jiu'er's words, I feel that this is not a history of blood and tears that can be sung and cried! A woman who covets glitz and is treacherous and chases fame and fortune. The gangsters who deceived gods and ghosts were finally abandoned by the world. The only pity is that Xiao Jiu'er, a child who doesn't know anything, has become a scapegoat for all those who deserve it. Who is this heavenly reason for?

Xu is Xiao Jiu'er saw that I was thinking, and was very involved in trembling. She stopped talking and looked at me with interest.

Oh! Brother, I'm holding grievances for you, why do you look at me like this?

"Dad never lied to anyone! At best, he is guiding those who are likely to go astray back on the right path. Guide those who are guilty to do their best to make amends. Dad could have left me without me, but he didn't! A person's hard grasp and pull is big, and in the end, he can see through the red dust......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Jiu'er's eyes were red, as if countless tears were about to break through the embankment.

"Don't be too sad, maybe he's enjoying himself somewhere! Maybe he's watching you from behind you that you can't see! Maybe ......"

Oh! Is that what I'm saying? How can this be what I said? But I'm really not good at comforting people, and I can't go on talking.

"Yes! You're right, he's supposed to be blessed! Let's talk about my master. ”

Finally back to the point, I don't even know what to do if I let her sensationalize it!

"I heard that Master was originally a Taoist priest in Youfang, and he lived here for a long time during the Qianlong period. Some rumors say that there is a sealed monster here, and it will break the seal and come out to harm the world, so the master stayed. One is to monitor the movements of the monsters, and the other is to seal it firmly again. ”

"Huh? Monster! What is it? Is your master's spell powerful? ”

"The youkai seems to be called 'Suzaku'......"

"What? Suzaku? It seems to be one of the four divine beasts, right? How could it be a youkai? ”

"I don't know the specifics, I just know that a long time ago, this Suzaku and several other divine beasts were sealed here, they are divine beasts, but they are also monsters. You want to! It's going to be hard to be sealed here, so it's understandable to come out for revenge, right? ”

"Yes! You have some truth in that, but what does it have to do with you? You don't want to say it has anything to do with me, do you? ”

"Yes! You guessed it, it's all about me and you. ”

What? Xiao Jiu'er's words exploded in my head like a bombshell. How is it possible for my mind to lose its ability to react in an instant? How can it have something to do with me, don't say I'm a firewood waste! Even if you extrapolate from time, it's too far away from me! I really can't accept what Xiao Jiu'er said, it's so!

"Huh...... Are you kidding me? Tell me that your story can still be relatable, you were still young at that time, right? There's no way you know me, right? ……”

I wanted to say a lot of reasons for overthrowing it, but seeing Xiao Jiu'er's serious expression, I had to swallow all the words I wanted to say back into my stomach.

"Don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly."

"Alright! Tell me, I'm really curious. ”

"When my father took me to set up a stall on the street, a monk suddenly came one day. Actually, the monk should be passing by, but when he saw me, he stopped. After looking at me for a long time, he took my father aside and the two of them talked alone. When I came back, my father actually agreed with the monk to take me up the mountain, saying that he wanted me to learn Taoism. ”

"Huh...... You followed? ”

"Yes! I was just a kid at the time, so I didn't think about it that much, but my dad agreed, so I naturally didn't have any opinion. Besides, the monk made me feel kind when he looked at him, so I followed him. ”

“…… You...... What did you learn on the mountain? ”

"Actually, the monk didn't teach me any Taoism, but at most it was divination, and he said that it was enough for me to learn this. In the future, I will meet a boy and I will only establish a special bond with him when I learn to tell fortunes, and my real destiny is to ...... for him."

Xiao Jiu'er suddenly stopped as she spoke, and saw that her face was a little stiff, as if she remembered some extremely painful past. Is there something hidden here?

"Your true destiny is for me?"

"Yes!"

"For me?"

"Die for you!"

Oh! Eldest sister! You're scaring me! It can't be like this! You said that your fate is going to die for me, how can I accept this, this absolutely I can't accept it! I just wanted to establish a long-term friendship with you, and you actually said that you would die for me, and you said that you were confessing your determination? Or are you playing a big joke with me?

"You...... You...... You're not kidding, are you? For the sake of a person I don't know, a useless firewood waste died, can you believe it? Ha ha...... This is your drunken and foolish talk from the monk and Taoist master, right? Haha......"

"When I heard Master say this, I was just like you, and I completely thought he was joking with me. Later, I lived in the mountains and learned some professional knowledge, some of which my father had talked about. But I gradually found out that what my father said was simply pediatrics, and it couldn't be compared with what the master taught! ”

"How long have you been in the mountains?"

"Ten years, ten years later I went down the mountain. Dad was still setting up a stall on the street, and I went to help him, and gradually became famous, even surpassing my father. So he also went to the mountains to become a monk, leaving myself in the red dust. And when I wanted to go back to the mountain to look for Master again, I found that he was gone! Only my father was waiting for me, and then my father also went to other temples to place orders, which is where you met me. ”

"I know this, you say something to the point. Your master is gone? Ten years you followed him, and he said that if he didn't see him, he would be gone? Impossible, right? No one knows where he went? ”

"Yes! I've also inquired in many ways, Master, and it seems that he has suddenly disappeared from the world, and no one knows where he has gone, and no one has seen how he disappeared! ”

"Then what did your master tell you? Tell me more about it. ”

"Well...... Master said that my life should not exist in the first place, and that my birth was completely undeserved. ”

"What? Your master's head has been pumped! There are still shoulds and shouldn'ts in human birth, how can you say such things? ”

"Don't worry, listen to me. Master said that my destiny is entirely for you, and I came to this world for you. Originally, I didn't believe what he said, but since I met you, everything that Master had predicted has come true. That's why I've been following you all along, at least so far, there has been no change in Master's prophecy. So, I'm a little scared right now, I don't know what I'm going to do next or how long I'm going to live! ”

"Huh? Didn't your master prophesy to the end? ”

"Yes! He's only said so far, and we haven't said anything after that. Because I didn't quite believe what he said, I never asked about it again. Looking back now, I really regret that if Master had fully said it, I wouldn't be so confused now, at least I know what I should do next. ”

Look at the sky outside the window, it's already bright. I believe that the sun will appear soon, why don't you go up the mountain to find Xiao Jiu'er's master again? Maybe he's back and waiting for us to explain everything to us.

Grabbing Xiao Jiu'er's hand, I feel that her hand is a little cold now, if a person loses hope for the future, is it like Xiao Jiu'er is now? I didn't dare to go any further.

"Let's go, we're going up the mountain to find your master, maybe he's waiting for us."

Xiao Jiu'er didn't say anything, obediently followed me to tidy up, and then went out to Suzaku Mountain, where her master lived.
