Chapter 34: The Bottom Line
She just came into the house to deliver tea, I wondered, how did she know that I went back to the room with Master Liu? Could it be that she has been spying on us? But on the second floor, there are only three rooms, one is where Master Liu's daughter lives, one is where we are, the door of the last room is open, it looks like a bedroom, some sundries, I guess it is Master Liu's bedroom, she should live downstairs, what?
I have too many questions about her, but I can only think about it in my heart, and I can't ask too much.
The girl named Qiqi put down the tea and was about to leave, but Master Liu stopped her, at this time she was obviously in a normal state, her eyes were not wandering, and there were no strange movements, Master Liu stopped her, she stopped, and waited for Master Liu's orders with a calm expression.
"Shen Xing, it's up to you to take him to the ghost market next month, and by the way, I can tell him some rules." Master Liu commanded.
When the girl named Shen Xing heard this order, a hesitant expression appeared on her face, and I saw it freshly, and this was the first time I saw a normal person's expression on her face.
She didn't speak, but Master Liu picked up the tea jar in front of her, took a sip of tea and said, "I know what you're worried about, you can rest assured, it's only a week's worth at most, and I will take care of what should be taken care of." ”
As soon as Master Liu said this, Shen Xing finally nodded hesitantly.
Looking at her departing back, Master Liu sighed, and suddenly said to her: "It's not a way to go on like this, when will you leave?" ”
The back of Shen Xing's departure shook, and he suddenly said: "Let me stay for a full year, I only want this year." After saying it very simply, Shen Xing left.
This is the first thing she said in a normal state, she said two words to me before, and her voice was unusually fluctuating, and it made people not know what her original voice was, but this time I heard her voice, and I felt that it was clear, and there was a bit of a crisp feeling, which made people feel that she should be a very cheerful person?
The conversation between her and Master Liu was also inexplicable, I couldn't understand it, but Master Liu didn't explain it either.
But I still couldn't help but ask Master Liu: "She is also a cultivator?" ”
"She's not, she's just an ordinary girl who is obsessed with me, I admire her very much, an ordinary girl can find a ghost market." Master Liu answered me so simply.
This sentence makes me feel weird, it turns out that you also understand that you are obsessed? Then why not let your daughter go?
I knew that I had something I shouldn't say, but at this time I really couldn't help it, I looked at Master Liu and said seriously: "Master Liu, you might as well let it go." When being alive is also a pain. ”
'Bang' was the sound of Master Liu's tea jar stomping on the table, and his originally calm face suddenly became distorted, it was distorted because of anger, and his eyes were almost about to erupt into anger to look at me, and it seemed that he wanted to drive me out the next moment.
I originally suppressed my inner thoughts because of Master's affairs, but after all, I still can't escape the line in my heart, if I can really turn a blind eye and deliberately pretend to be so-called stable because of my age, then I will not be my Master's apprentice.
"What's the bottom line? It is a line that can be greater than one's own desires and desires. If you can't surpass this, don't say that you have any bottom line. What's the bottom line in our vein? Tao and righteousness, the Tao itself to understand, righteousness is not righteousness, you can understand it very simply as conscience. ”
Master's words are the driving force that supports me, since I said it, I don't regret it, facing Master Liu's gaze, I am calm but resolute.
The bellows-like wheezing sound sounded in the room, it was the voice of Master Liu's wheezing because of anger, and after a long time, he sneered and said: "Your vein, your ability is not small, your temper is not small, and there are many stinky rules." All of them are like stones in a dung pit, but they like to jump out and tell others how to do it! I don't need you to worry about my daughter's affairs, you come here on the 5th of next month, and I will tell you what to do in the ghost market and how to get there! As for you at that time, you were still like a stone in a dung pit, I can't control you, do it if you like to do it or not, you don't want to get clues from me, you can go. ”
I stood up calmly, bowed to him, and left.
Master once said that he was a great father who used his life to live with his daughter, but now, what will Master say? Do not do unto others? I walked out of the room, glanced at the girl's room, shook my head, and walked away.
When he saw me coming down, he rushed over like the people who wanted to be liberated saw the People's Liberation Army and asked, "Chengyi, how is it?" Is there a settlement for this? ”
"Yes, he has clues. But I need to go to the real ghost market once, and as for what to do, he didn't say. "I simply said to Qin Huai that there is nothing to hide from him.
"Ghost market? What is it? Dude, can I go? Qin Huai was excited, wasn't this what he and Crispy Meat were looking forward to? I even doubt that this kid will secretly make a phone call tonight to inform Crispy Meat.
These two boys always think that life is not exciting enough, and they are not afraid of really kicking the iron plate one day.
I had too many worries and worries in my heart, and I didn't have the interest to speak, so I said directly and tiredly: "Let's go back and talk about it." ”
Back at the hotel, I briefly chatted with Qin Huai, and then sent this kid to sleep, because I always thought about the circle in my heart, and I couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts and nostalgia.
Those thoughts can be summed up in just one sentence, just like the complicated feelings of a high school student who wants to enter college.
And the one who misses is of course my master, I know that he is not dead, and it is too inappropriate to use the word nostalgia, but he has really been away from me for too long.
I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning on the bed, but finally I picked up the phone and dialed Brother Chengqing's phone.
"Brother Chengqing? I'm Seiichi. ”
"It's really okay, it's past 3 o'clock in the morning, what's the matter? If it's a fortune-telling business, just introduce it to me. Brother Chengqing's voice didn't have much sleepiness, he was very awake, and he was joking with me.
But I know that this is where he is helpless, they all say that fortune tellers have five disadvantages and three shortcomings, and they will always be as diverse as the number of shots, or they will be contaminated with some, and some who know, fortune tellers often have some headaches and weird little problems.
For example, Brother Chengqing, his problem is that he often has insomnia, and it is worth being happy to be able to sleep for 4 hours a day, which is why I called him alone.
"Forget about introducing other people's voices, is it worth my brother's help? Thank you! Tell me about my business, don't I have a place to go? Can you help me do the math, can it go well? I tried to be as relaxed as I could.
"Where are you going?" Brother Chengqing didn't joke anymore, a simple sentence, a slightly anxious and serious tone already contained his concern.
"Ghost City, I'm a little uneasy in my heart, plus Brother Chengqing, do you know our circle?"
"Tell me more about it."
I didn't hide what he meant, of course, I told Brother Chengqing everything about 1510, no matter who gets the clue, it is everyone's clue, this is our lineage.
When I finished speaking, Brother Chengqing was silent for a while, and then said: "Let Chengxin accompany you, his temper is smoother and gentler than yours." As for the circle, I have heard a little, but I haven't had much contact with it. You're in Tianjin now, right? ”
"How do you know?" I'm curious, can this also be calculated?
"Oh, caller ID." Brother Chengqing said very calmly and briefly.
I broke out in a cold sweat, and suddenly felt like an idiot, I just wanted to say something, but I didn't want Brother Chengqing to suddenly say: "Come to Beijing to find me immediately when you have time, and talk in detail!" I seem to be sleepy now, I hang up. ”
After speaking, Brother Chengqing hung up the phone, I took the phone and smiled bitterly, but said that I understood very much, because his sleep is much more precious and difficult than normal people, and he is often so weird.
At the same time, I also know what he meant by asking me to go to Beijing to talk in detail, and he wanted to talk to me about the circle.
