Chapter 13: The Unexpected
Safe for now? When I stood up, I realized that it should be.
I have lived in the bamboo forest for so many years, and I have been back and forth so many times in this bamboo forest, I never knew that there was such a powerful 'ghost head' hidden in this bamboo forest.
Yes, if I want to evaluate it, it is a very powerful ghost head, more powerful than the 'ghost heads' deliberately raised by evil cultivators I once met in the old forest, I can't guarantee that it is more powerful than all of them, but at least most of them.
I thought to myself if it were me, and I would have been entangled by such a ghost in an unsuspecting situation, and it would have taken a lot of effort, or even completely controlled.
That's the situation, when I stood up, what I saw was that these dozen or so people were all entangled by the ghosts that appeared inexplicably, and they were in a delirious situation, where could they care about shooting us? The master did not control the ghost heads to make them hallucinate, and killing each other was already a very merciful situation.
At this time, I also saw my father, who was kneeling on the ground crying at the moment, and I hurriedly ran over a few steps and hugged him.
I know that the scene just now, my dad can still support this situation, and he is already very strong.
My dad is not good at expressing feelings, but at the moment when I hugged him, he looked up at me, and suddenly hugged me very tightly, and said in a voice that was almost silent: "Great, great, if you die in front of me like this, I won't be able to live." ”
I didn't know how to comfort him, just like my dad suddenly expressed such a strong emotion, I didn't know how to deal with it, so I could only pat his back with my hand, let him ease for a while, and then whispered: "Dad, I'm fine, is there a master?" ”
Speaking of Master, my dad's emotions really calmed down, in his impression, every appearance of Master can save me from danger, I believe that even if the sky falls, my master says to my dad that he wants to keep me, my dad will not hesitate to believe it.
Master is so reliable, if he hadn't been thinking like this just now, a cool breeze blew, and a cold sweat broke out on my back, and I couldn't help but shiver.
"Master, how did you have such precautions?" I helped my dad up, I thought it was amazing, Master's every step was even more accurate than pinching, how would an ordinary cultivator expect the other party to shoot himself with a gun or something?
But the master unhurriedly began to tie up the trouser belts of those who were fascinated by the ghosts, and said as he tied them: "First, Yang Sheng has made up his mind to kill us, what do you think is the most direct and effective way, and even the most traceless method for ordinary people?" If you fight, isn't there much movement? Second, what is worthy of Lao Chen's anxious reminder? If you think about it, you will think of such a way! As long as there is a 1 percent chance, you have to use 100 percent precautions. As soon as I come out, I will pull you down without losing anything. After all, there is no shelter out of the bamboo forest, isn't it the best time to kill us? ”
Yes, because of the cover of the bamboo forest, we didn't even see these people with guns for a while, not to mention that they wanted to shoot us, it was very easy to avoid in the bamboo forest, but it was difficult to say when they got out of the bamboo forest.
"And those ghosts?" When I asked, I suddenly felt that I was really stupid to ask this question.
"It wasn't before, it wasn't necessary! And people have no far-sighted worries, these ghosts are naturally the best goods I collected, and they are suppressed here in a certain way, when I came out of the bamboo forest just now, I deliberately slowed down, don't you see that I am stepping on some kind of formation step? (This kind of step can be used to unlock the formation when it is in a special formation) and then the ghost head is released, and I don't need to elaborate on the rest. Master's answer was very indifferent, but this seemingly simple answer, how much thought it took in it, I suddenly realized that I thought I had grown up, and I was still far from Master.
No wonder he calmly came out to deal with me, no wonder he could give me such a great sense of security, it turned out to be indestructible established by infinite facts.
"Master Jiang, Xiuyun and them" My dad said this very hesitantly, and when he said it, he didn't have time to wipe off the tears on his face just now, because my dad is a person who doesn't like to ask for help and owes favors to everyone, except for the things I asked for when I was a child and my second sister, he almost never opened his mouth, and asked anyone for anything.
In such a difficult situation for us, he didn't want to trouble my master, but it was my relatives and his relatives, so he had to open his mouth.
I was also very worried in my heart, if Master was going to leave at this time, I would definitely not blame Master, but because it involved my relatives, Master was going to take me away at this time, I definitely wouldn't leave, because my father would be held hostage like this, and my mother and sisters would not be treated much better.
Besides, I have a deeper understanding of Yang Sheng's extremism than Master.
"Dad, there's me." Before Master could speak, I preemptively said this.
I suddenly felt that there was no way for me to do anything about the ambition and responsibility of my master, about the entanglement and struggle of these forces, and about the predicament of us being hunted down, but I couldn't do without Master, and I firmly believed that only Master could lead everyone to see the blue sky
Therefore, I can't drag him in Yang Sheng's determination this time I have seen how big it is, and if he doesn't have half a nonsense, he will shoot, which must also be Yang Sheng's order.
That is, all friendships are torn, and all that is left is you to live and die.
"Then you can go back too." My dad's expression suddenly became firm, and I didn't want to argue with my dad at all, I just picked him up and left, I just said, "I'm your son, do you think I might go back?" It's good for Master to go back. ”
My dad still wanted to hold on.
I whispered, "Dad, all they want is me, you should think about my mother, my sister, and your two grandchildren, aren't you?" ”
My dad's expression was a little cold, he was afraid that he knew the deep meaning of my words, don't be selfish to other relatives for me, this dilemma can only be solved in this way, as soon as I figure this out, my dad can't help but cry, I'm afraid that the most difficult decision in his life will be put on his shoulder.
The palm of the hand and the back of the hand, which piece is not meat? And I have always sacrificed a lot for my family, shouldn't I sacrifice for them this time?
In a few conversations, I had already dragged my dad far away, he was very painful, and the only comfort I could give was: "Dad, this is not a predicament where I am bound to die, who says there is no chance?" ”
"These people are not ordinary people, they are not." My dad's tears rolled down the deep lines on his face, and he didn't know how to express it, and that's the only way to express it.
If you can get a gun, such a person who shoots unscrupulously is not an ordinary person for ordinary people, let alone an ordinary person who can find me? I inexplicably felt that Lao Tzu was also quite 'vigorous', and I couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of my mouth, and my heart was relaxed.
If you die like this, it is the highest treatment.
"Yes, what kind of ordinary person can find our master and apprentice?" Just when I was immersed in my own 'vigor', suddenly the master opened his mouth coldly from behind me.
I was startled, my dad was also taken aback, the two of them turned around at the same time, and my dad muttered, "Master Jiang, why are you here?" Why is this matter okay to trouble you again? In this small bamboo forest, everyone is still waiting for you. ”
"Lao Chen, we've known each other for decades, shouldn't you tell me this! Chengyi is also my son, let's talk about it should be closer than brothers, don't worry about it. As he spoke, Master patted my dad on the shoulder.
My dad was originally a somewhat wooden person, but suddenly my master said this, and some of them didn't know what to say, so they could only stand there stunned.
But my master was polite to my father, but not so polite to me, and kicked me in the ass, so that I couldn't help but stumble, and almost fell to the ground, completely ignoring my injury, which shows how heavy this kick was!
"Lao Tzu is going to tie up someone, so you will take your father first? Capable of it? Got it? Think you can fight a hundred, a real hero? Don't look at which green onion you count? How many years has Lao Tzubai cultivated you? Look at you going to die? As if he was still angry, the master slapped me on the head and on my back, and the rough palm was like an iron sand palm, and I almost couldn't breathe in one breath.
He was chic, put his hand behind his back, and walked towards the front without forgetting to roar: "Stinky boy, you still won't keep up with me?" ”
My father and I were actually moved in our hearts, Master didn't treat me as an outsider, and he never treated my family as an outsider.
Along the way, my master was very calm, except for asking my dad about the situation in the village, my dad was not very clear, but he could only try to express himself, from my dad, my master and I got a message, this time there were at least thirty or fifty people in the village, these thirty or fifty people entered a village too conspicuously, but they did not attract anyone's attention.
Because they are hidden in an unexpected place, the place that once left a deep impression on me - the Tomb of the Hungry Ghost!
