Chapter 168: Grief's Hope

That night? How could I not remember the night before we started to flee, my injuries were just right, and the moment Master cooked fragrant soup in order to see it, I seemed to have returned to my childhood, and I still remember the warmth of that night.

Why did Master bring this up? I watched Master not understand what he meant for a while, my heart was tormented by this time of the year, and my brain's ability to think was about to become ossified.

"Remember what I told you?" Master turned his head to look at me.

At this moment, I saw for the first time from Master such an emotion, which often appeared to me when Master was gone, so I was so familiar with it, and this emotion is called helplessness!

Master would be helpless? Why is it helpless? He reminded me of that day, and I had a good memory of what he said, but it was impossible to remember everything he said a few months ago

I frowned and tried to recall, and suddenly a sentence clearly appeared in my mind, at that time, Master was helping me wipe my back, and he once said to me, 'People are old, love family!' I'm using an analogy, if one day I'm old, so old that I don't know what to do, and I want to retire here, you have to be by your side. ’

Is that the saying? Master only has one year to live, so why did he say such a thing to me? Is there any hope for things? My heart suddenly became hot, and at that time, I was still wondering about that sentence, so I was brought over by Master on another topic.

"Master, are you talking about that? If one day you are so old that you don't know what to do, when you are old, I want to be by my side? That said, there's still hope for you, right? You want me to live, and that's also hinting at me, right? Master, you can't say it, you're afraid of being calculated, aren't you? "I was in good spirits and in a much better mood.

Before, in the mountain gate of the snow-capped mountains, Master said that he couldn't say too much for fear that he would be deduced as soon as he said it, so I naturally found this reason for Master, as long as he can live, anything is fine.

Master's helplessness was also thought of as worrying about me.

I didn't expect that in the face of such joy as me, Master could shake his head cruelly, his eyes were full of a kind of sadness of guilt for me, and he said to me, "Chengyi, everything is not what you think. I think it's better to tell you something in advance than if you suddenly face it, and I really don't have much time left. ”

"What do you mean?" My smile froze on my face, and my eyes suddenly became lonely again.

Master turned his head away from me, and didn't know if he couldn't bear to look at me any longer, but he just sighed and said to me, "There is something special about the way I live this year, just like repaying my destined fate before, I told you, right?" What is the result of our suppression under the Great Array? That is, the soul that separates from the body and then detached is directly exposed to the great array, and is crushed by the life until the soul is scattered. ”

Speaking of this, the master took another puff of dry smoke, and then looked at the starry sky in the distance and continued: "Your master ancestor gave a choice, and I chose the second, which means that after the time is up, after your ancestor's power dissipates, I will still have my soul separated from the body, you know what the consequences are, so you don't need me to explain, right?" ”

My face suddenly turned pale and the body that had been separated from the soul was nothing more than two results, and the general situation is to become a vegetative person, and the second, if the physical body is strong and the willpower of the physical owner is strong enough, there will be some fragments of the soul and willpower left in it, but what is the use, it will also become a walking corpse and generally has no ability to think.

This is even more cruel than the soul slowly separating from the body, the symptoms are like Alzheimer's disease, even though, I have been wondering if the root cause of this human disease is related to the soul, but I am not too concerned.

Now, Master's situation is even more cruel than this, that is, once it happens, Master's situation will give me no chance to buffer!

"Ah" heart suddenly surged with sadness, depression, unwilling to drown me like a tide, after learning the real situation, I almost suffocated, I could only shout, crazy to vent my emotions, I feel so powerless!

I know too well in my heart that Master they were destined to die at that time, and the master kept people under the Heavenly Dao, just because, the remnant soul of the master was used to deal with the Kunlun legacy, and the fate arranged by the Heavenly Dao was like this, and the dashing and wild character of the master and the ancestor, in the end, chose feelings and kept the master, but they could only be like this.

Not even with the Longevity Technique! It's like becoming Master Liu's daughter and not practicing the pattern of the Heavenly Dao, where is its suppression so simple? This is not a matter of forcibly using the physical body to close the yin, nor is it forcibly doing so through the issue of borrowing the life of others through 'trading', and it is nothing more than letting Master's physical body survive for a few more years, what's the point?!

This cruel pattern of the Heavenly Dao is directly stripped of the soul!!

This time I vented, the master did not stop me, he just said quietly after I finished yelling: "You Grandma Ling Qing, I owe her a favor Before we were finally suppressed that day, I used a method to directly shock out part of her soul and put it in the soul cultivation bead where your ancestor's remnant soul is located, and then, I tempted God, saying that as long as I let Ling Qing go, before my soul is wiped out, I will tell the location of other Kunlun remnant souls Actually, I want to save more people, but your ancestor's soul cultivation bead can only shelter Ling Qing's remnant soul at most, It's good that there are more than that, but it's okay, they are all senior brothers and brothers, and there are old comrades-in-arms at that time, so they are not as generous as everyone and forgive me for this little selfishness. Including Wu Liyu also understands that he knows that this is a matter of Lao Li and Lao Wu, in fact, Ling Qing came with him, just following me. ”

At this time, I really understood the ins and outs of the matter, and the master had never liked to express anything, and his expression to Grandma Ling Qing was also very limited, but this deep affection was all revealed in this bland narration.

However, no matter how affectionate you are, no matter how wonderful the past is, it will disappear with the disappearance of people, won't it? In Master's narration, I burst into tears, this is not just my sadness, it is everyone's sadness, I think of Xiao Chengqian's eldest cousin, Master, and their final ending is the same?

I hate, but I don't know who to hate I clenched my fists and couldn't find a direction to vent, but at this time, Master's warm hand touched my back and he said to me: "So, Chengyi, you have to be strong, you can't just disappear You know that I Jiang Lichun has been prosperous all my life, and I have never been weak, but I don't want to dream back at midnight now, but I am very afraid, I am afraid that I will become like that at that time, and I can't take care of myself when I eat and drink, so it is a little humiliating Ah Buddhism said, stinky skin, stinky skin and soul are gone, What kind of skin does it matter? If I have the state of mind of the Buddha, it's a pity, I'm a Taoist, and my thoughts are not different, no matter what my soul is, my body is always a trace of my existence, and I always want to be decent."

Master said while I was crying silently, this is the first time Master has shown weakness In fact, he has been unkempt but unkempt just represents a kind of his casualness, it does not mean that he can accept that he knows nothing about living when the time comes, he has always been very dignified, he has never bent down to live!

His hope is only for me, my inheritance, his continuation, can let him stay like that, and he can leave with dignity, but how can I accept it?

"Chengyi, do you understand? In the end, I want to trouble you to take care of me, just like I took care of you when I was a child, and I may be even more troublesome, you are my only comfort and only support in this fear, so how can you not live strong and give up easily? Master's hand finally fell heavily on my shoulder.

I wiped away my tears, looked into the distance, and said in a choked voice, "Master, I know everything." ”

"That's good, I'm at ease."

"Then Master, where will your soul go when it leaves? Or is it still gone? "If this is really the case, I absolutely can't accept it, even if I go against the sky, I have to keep the master.

"It won't be, but where to go, I don't know, but no matter where I go, if there is a road ahead, and a place to go, it's called hope."

Does the night breeze bring hope?

The Master continued, "If there is hope, then you should be happy for me in the end. ”
