Chapter 158: Apprenticeship
readx;????β YouβAre you the old watchman? Frightened, I asked something very idiotic. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Because this sentence is idiotic, the old viewer did not answer me, but said: "Go and return, what is the so-called thing?" As soon as he spoke, his voice was not as thick as before, and there was a faint state of weakness, like an ordinary old man. This further confirms my suspicion that the previous steady appearance seems to be pretended by this old viewer.
My heart suddenly tightened, my brain calmed down, I sat down opposite the old master, and said, "You are injured." β
The old watchman was silent.
I said, "What did Zhou Xuanye do?" β
He still didn't speak.
I said again: "You didn't let me see Tan Jian because he wouldn't come out of the corpse cave again, right?" β
This time, he finally spoke: "You kid, you are so smart. β
I only felt bitter and said: "I have never been a particularly smart person, everything I do, I belong to the middle one, neither lag behind, nor be a pioneer, but I am rare to be smart now, but I hope I am still a little confused." β
The old viewer closed his eyes again and said slowly: "Life is rare in the world, it is rare to be confused. β
I said, "What the hell is going on?" Isn't it to clean up portals? Why are you hurting? Tan Jian cleaned up Zhou Xuanye, wasn't that easy? β
The old viewer closed his eyes and said lightly: "It's fate." β
I took a deep breath and said, "I beg you, I'm just a layman, don't play dumb riddles with me, what is fate?" β
The old viewer still didn't even move his eyelids, and said lightly: "You asked clearly, what are you going to do?" β
"I ......" I couldn't speak for a while, yes, I asked clearly, what can I do? Eventually, countless questions converged into one sentence: "Lord, you won't die, will you?" You're not going to die anytime soon, are you? β
The old viewer finally opened his eyes, laughed, and said, "By the way, this is what you should really ask, some things that have happened, to get to the bottom of it, will only increase the troubles." He smiled slightly, this look, I actually felt extremely similar to Zhou Xuanye.
"I don't have much to live." He laughed and said something like this.
I suddenly felt the urge to cry, and said, "Don't, where are you injured, let's go down the mountain to the hospital for treatment." β
The old watchman said: "It seems that you know about the dust of the corpse. β
I said, "I just found out, so I'm going to visit you right away." β
He said, "Can't you see him die? β
I said, "I can't see it, I'm just a layman, my good brother is going to die, I can't stand it, he was still alive and kicking when I left last time." β
The old man said: "He has long been dead, and there is no need to be attached." β
I said, "If you are not attached, why did you spend a few years refining him into a corpse king in the first place?" β
The old viewer sighed and said, "It's too late to regret it." β
I said, "You are old, you can see it, I am still a young man, I can't see it." β
The old man said, "Then what do you want now?" β
I said, "I want to know what happened?" Of course, I want to know more about how to keep him from dying. β
The old man said, "If I live, he will live." β
I said, "Do you know the golden muscles and jade bones?" β
The old man said, "I know. β
I don't think it's surprising that he knows about this, Tan Jian is the corpse king he refined, and in front of him, Tan Jian should have nothing to hide.
I said, "If it's hurt, I can save you, and you know, I'm a good product for longevity." "In fact, I am very bottomless in my heart, the reason why I took the initiative to mention this is because I know that this old Guan Master does not want to let me save my life, he already knows my identity, and he also knows my friendship with Tan Jian, and I understand that as long as he speaks, I will definitely not refuse.
But he didn't speak.
Not before, not even now.
This situation is very bad, before it was someone else who spied on me and made me feel bad, but now this old watcher doesn't beat my idea, but I think it's even worse, so I have to take the initiative to bring it up.
Hearing this, he smiled again and said, "I've lived enough." β
I endured the uneasiness in my heart and said, "But Tan Jian didn't live enough!" β
He said, "I know. It's a pity that he died young. β
I said, "If you live one more day, he will live one more day." β
He said: "Life means death, and I will die sooner or later." β
"But I want to save my brother. Isn't he your first apostle? Why don't you ask him if he wants to live? Did you know that he loves to trade stocks? He was reluctant to die until he ran out of money. β
The old watchman lowered his eyes for a moment and said: "Needless to say, he has been sealed in the corpse cave, and I will die soon, if you really want to see it, it is just to see a corpse, let's go." β
I was so angry that I couldn't hold it back any longer, and my whole body exploded: "Old Taoist, do you know how many people are lining up outside begging me to bleed!" I beg to cut the meat for you now, but you don't want to, is it fun to pretend to be forced? Keep saying that you love your disciple, and you put the corpse of your disciple in a hole! There is a chance to bring him back to life, why don't you live! β
I jumped to my feet angrily, but he was still calm, and only used one sentence to make me speechless: "When my life comes to an end, why do you keep it?" His life has long ended, how can he keep it? Young man, your obsession is too deep. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
His words seemed illogical, but when I thought about it, I couldn't find a reason to refute it. This old Taoist priest has seen life and death, how can I force him because of Tan Blade?
He's been keeping his lover for so long, how much longer?
Life and death, since the dust will return to dust and the earth after all, and the old master has chosen the end, what qualifications do I have to ask him to keep it?
For a moment, the two of us were relatively speechless, and he closed his eyes and recuperated, as if he had been feathered.
My whole heart seemed to sink to the bottom, and somehow, I actually remembered the experience when Tan Jian took me to the whole human trafficker, such a living person, is actually a corpse? Later, I accepted his identity as the corpse king, but now in the blink of an eye, he was sealed in the dust and turned into a real corpse?
I sat opposite the old contemplator for a long time, and I was always very anxious in my heart, not knowing what to do.
Just obey the will of the old man, life and death are in accordance with the destiny of heaven?
He is destined to die, but is Tan Jian willing to 'die' like this?
No, I'll have to ask.
"Guan Lord, you have penetrated life and death, and your realm is superb, and few people can match it, but I just want to ask, Tan Blade, your apprentice, has he also lived enough?"
The old man said: "When you enter the corpse cave, he knows that you will come, let me bring you a message." β
When I asked what to say, the old watchman said, "Let you help settle Tang Yi's salary, he doesn't want to owe anything." β
I smiled wryly and said, "Isn't it owed to me?" β
The old watchman smiled and said nothing.
I know, Tan Jian's turtle hair, can't rub sand in his eyes, he is treating me as his own, so he will leave such an order, at this moment, I also made up my mind, what to see through life and death, I am a layman, my brother has something that he can't let go, and he doesn't want to die, then I have to try my best to save it.
So I said; "Lord, I can't persuade you, if you show me another way, how can I save him."
I thought he would give me a more desperate answer, after all, this old master has no descendants, who knows that he said very calmly: "Of course there is a way, I refine the corpse, there are only two disciples, Xuanye does not need to mention, there is only Gu Hong, but unfortunately, she has six impure roots, and she has no talent, so she can't pass on my mantle, but I think you are good." I was stunned and said, "You let me worship you as a teacher?" What does this have to do with Tan Blade? β
The old man said: "Pass on my mantle, and the corpse king I refined can naturally be passed on to you." β
I said, "Isn't it necessary to be related by blood?" β
"He is the Corpse King, which is different from ordinary corpse refining."
My mind turned, and I suddenly felt like I had been tricked, how did I feel that this old Taoist priest was obviously waiting for me here on purpose?
Huang Lian said that he wanted one more junior brother, could it be true that he was beaten by him?
After speaking, the old viewer stopped talking again, closed his eyes and recuperated, looking like he was planning for himself.
For a while, I didn't want to be more entangled, you know, kill me, I didn't think about going the way of refining corpses!
