I was not wrong in my previous conjecture. The little girl in the painting was indeed Aoko, who was seven years old at the time, and was chosen by his master to be the next generation of Yin Patrol, passed on the blood pact, and took her to live on this desert island for about three years. The two goods were still a little white ape, accompanied by Xiao Qingzi. Three years later, when Qingzi was a teenager, she followed her master to walk outside. It wasn't until she was eighteen years old that his master left.

I couldn't help but ask, "So where did he go?" ”

Qingzi was silent for a while, and said, "Master said that he was tired, and the inheritance of the Yin Patrol will be handed over to me in the future." After that, I traveled a lot and never saw him again. ”

I was stunned for a long time, only to feel an inexplicable fear suddenly born in my heart, but I didn't know where this fear came from, and comforted: "Maybe your master is really tired, and with a good apprentice like you, he will ask for a daughter-in-law to live a free life." ”

In fact, what I said was just nonsense, who knew that Qingzi said "um", and after a while, he said, "Although I don't know very well, I feel that there is someone waiting for Master." ”

I laughed and said, "Well, maybe he's all full of children and grandchildren now." ”

Qingzi was silent for a while, and said, "I have traveled a lot, and while doing what Master has entrusted to me, I am just thinking that I can meet Master by accident and see him again. It's just a pity that I can't find it. ”

I listened to her whisper this, and for some reason, I just felt very sour in my heart.

Qingzi suddenly sighed softly and said, "Later, I was also tired, so I found a place to bury myself, thinking about sleeping quietly." ”

I listened in a daze, and when I heard her say that she buried herself, my eyes were hot, and I couldn't help myself, and said with a smile: "You met me later!" ”

After a while, I heard Qingzi say: "I'm tired too, and the affairs of the Yin Patrol will be handed over to you in the future." ”

I was shocked when I heard this, and suddenly I knew what that creepy fear in my heart was! In a few days, I'll be eighteen years old! After I turn eighteen, will Aoko leave me just as her master left her?

This deepest fear from the bottom of my heart made my hands and feet cold, and my body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

In order to dispel this fear, I forced a smile and said, "With my skills, I'm afraid I'll lose my life without a few blows when I go out, you can't let it go." ”

The sea breeze brushed up her black hair, and only listened to her: "Your skills are a little worse." When you go to more places and experience more, it will be fine. ”

I was so frightened that I didn't want to go on on this topic, so I said, "Then the person you are looking for this time is not your master?" ”

Qingzi was silent for a while, and said, "Originally, I didn't have this in mind, but after coming to this island, something happened. ”

I couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What is it?" ”

Qingzi said: "Look at the tree leaning against you. ”

As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly got up and took a few steps back, taking a closer look at the big tree in front of me that had grown for an unknown number of years. The trunk of the tree was as thick as two people hugging each other, and the branches were knotted, the color of the red, and the leaves that grew were small, round, like copper coins.

I didn't see anything unusual about this tree for a while, but I just felt that the qi around this tree seemed to fluctuate abnormally, which was very different from ordinary trees.

I only heard Qingzi say: "Seeing things is not necessarily with your eyes. ”

My heart moved, and I closed my eyes and turned the Yin and Yang Bottle to carefully observe the changes in the Yin and Yang Qi in this tree. After a long time, I opened my eyes and said, "This tree is dead!" ”

But as soon as the words came out, it felt wrong. Looking at the tree in front of me, although the leaves are not very dense, it is obviously still growing, but I have just carefully sensed the yin and yang qi in its body, and I actually found that this tree body has become a pure yin phase.

I only heard Qingzi say: "This tree has long since died, and now it is only growing in the shade." ”

After a little pondering, I already understood the principle, which is the same as those who raise their bodies after death. For example, after a person dies, if he is buried in a place where yin qi gathers such as the Yin Pool, the corpse will not only not decay for thousands of years, but also the hair and nails will continue to grow, and even become a living corpse in the end. It is about the special environment of this cinnabar island that not only did not wither after the tree died**, but also began to grow in the shade.

But I'm still a little puzzled, this tree does have memories of Aoko's childhood, so there is a special feeling. But if you want to say that you are depressed for the death of this tree, it is possible for other women to change it, but with such a big bearing as Qingzi, I really don't believe that she is just for this cold and sadness.

still couldn't help but interject, just listened to her quietly on the side.

A cool breeze swept over the sea level, stirring up the blue waves. After a while, Qingzi finally said again: "I was still young, and once the master had to go out to do something, and he had to go out for a few months. Seeing that I was worried, he left a mark on the tree. He said, "Let me just look at this tree, as long as this tree grows well, he will be fine." ”

My heart fluctuated. Judging by how long this tree has grown, the tree may have been dead for many years.

I was about to say, "Maybe your master is old and dying," but when the words came to my lips, I swallowed them back. Although I don't know if Aoko's master has such skills as Aoko, judging from the traces of damage to this tree, it doesn't seem to be as simple as a normal death.

"Are you suspicious...... Did your master be harmed? Seeing that Qingzi didn't speak, I finally couldn't help but ask this sentence.

Qingzi got up, walked up to me, reached out and stroked the red black trunk, and said, "My master's skills are extremely great, I don't know who can harm him." ”

I laughed and said, "Wouldn't that be good!" Your master is so powerful, maybe it's okay now. But the tree itself got sick and died. Of course, when I said this, even I didn't believe it. I just looked at the internal structure of this tree with a yin-yang bottle, and it is not caused by the ordinary death of any tree.

Qingzi didn't speak, and after a long while, he said, "My master originally promised me that he would give birth to a child and be my heir." ”

I laughed a few times and thought, "I'm fucking glad I didn't, or else I wouldn't have had anything to do." ”

Qingzi glanced up at the big red black tree and said, "Let's go, go and clean up your things." And he left the stone platform. I hurriedly followed, and by the time I got inside, the two had already eaten the rest of the food. This guy is really old, I've never seen such an ape that can eat seafood before.

Aoko went back and sat there reading a book. I'm out there cleaning up the mess and getting everything out. After that, he sat outside the stone room, and lay there to sleep for a while, and these days he was running around, always worrying, and at this time he was finally able to sleep peacefully without thinking about anything.

When I woke up, it was almost evening, and I hadn't digested what I had eaten in the afternoon, and when I looked into the house, I saw that Qingzi was gone, probably going out for a walk. Soon night fell, and the sky was full of stars. The two seemed to be hungry again, and began to eat the unpalatable fruit that was dying of death, and made a chirping sound.

When he saw the moon climb up to the middle of the sky, Qingzi came back from outside, and when he saw that I was still outside, he said, "What are you doing here yet?" ”

As usual, when I was at home, I had turned off the lights and went to bed on time at this point.

She said a few words and went straight into the house. I went in after her, yawned and said, "Sleep, sleep." ”

Qingzi sat down on the chair, flipped through the book, and said, "You just sleep here." "She was talking about the stone bed, probably for the sake of my serious injuries. Of course, I didn't say anything polite to her, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said, "You used to sleep here, didn't you?" ”

Qingzi turned a page of the book and said, "This is where my master sleeps." ”

I immediately lost interest in this bed and asked, "So where do you sleep?" "I've seen all of these stone chambers before, but I haven't seen any other places where people can sleep.
