I'm a little skeptical, how could Uncle Cheng die if he was so good? Besides, there is no phone call between us, and there is no contact, so we can't conclude that Uncle Cheng is dead just based on that feeling, right?

But if it weren't true, Daoist Jingyang wouldn't have cried so sadly, right?

"Gone, gone."

Daoist Jingyang looked at the roof with blank eyes, as if he saw Uncle Cheng waving at him, and they sat between their brothers and sisters to say this last goodbye.

I looked at Daoist Jingyang's hand, which swung a few times in the air against the air, and then put it down. He also said to himself: "Let's go." ”

I don't have a cell phone with me now, and even if I do, I don't necessarily have a signal here. I really want to call Chen Mu and ask if Uncle Cheng really passed away.

"Rest! From tomorrow onwards, you will have to study hard. Until you are really proficient in this body, do you understand? ”

"Yes, Michigan."

I said yes and watched him turn around, put on the blanket and fall asleep. I wanted to call him master, but he wouldn't let me do it, just continue to call him Jingyang Daoist.

I didn't understand why, and it wasn't until later that I figured out that it was not that Daoist Jingyang didn't want to accept apprentices. But you can't accept apprentices, because you have done too many good things in this life, but it has also caused a lot of losses to yourself.

Fifteen years ago, he took in an apprentice. That apprentice was very diligent and thrifty, and in just one year, he learned one-fifth of the ability of Jingyang Dao Chief.

can learn one-fifth of the ability of Jingyang Dao Chief, which can completely abuse Xiao San Fat. After all, Cheng Ying and Daoist Jingyang are not on the same level, so the gap between the apprentices will be very large.

The reason why Jingyang Daoist really didn't accept apprentices was actually because he was afraid of heaven's punishment. Because he leaked too many heavenly secrets, he suffered a lot of heavenly punishment.

In fact, Daoist Jingyang should have been a dead man ten years ago, but by mistake, he thought it was an unsuccessful thing, but it succeeded. His life was extended, but the life of his apprentice came to an end.

That is, he used the life of his apprentice to renew it to himself. He is now living his life with his love. But this damnation did not disappear, and then he received another apprentice, and in that year the apprentice died again.

It's also strange ~ strange, his apprentice carried a hoe to dig bamboo shoots, and the sky suddenly thundered and split on the hoe carried by the apprentice. was killed by the thunder on the spot, and since then, Daoist Jingyang is not accepting apprentices, because he knows that even if he has done a lot of good deeds, he has also leaked too many heavenly secrets, which is God's punishment for him.

In other words, in the way of five disadvantages and three shortcomings. Jingyang Daochang is guilty of one of the "independence", and the explanation for "independence" is that there are no children under his knees to support the elderly. One day is a teacher, and life is a father, a master is a father, and of course a disciple can also be a son.

I sighed, maybe this is fate! Destiny is hard to disobey, maybe that's it!

In the days that followed, I was slowly learning. It's like a newborn baby, starting with walking, then running. In the brain, the previous incomplete memories have slowly come back during this time.

I also remembered that person - Gu Zheng. It was he who traded his life for my rebirth, and this is what makes me feel the most guilty.

Daoist Jingyang comforted me and said, "You don't have to feel guilty, his existence is for your rebirth now." Otherwise, I wouldn't have let him live until now twenty years ago, and it was only because of your current rebirth that I forcibly revived him. Even if he doesn't die now, he won't live long. ”

I let out a long sigh, life is even like this, life and death, some come and go. No one wants to die, but no one wants to live very sadly.

At midnight, I was sleeping on the bed~ with Jingyang Daochang. But the noise outside woke us up.

As we put on our clothes and walked out. But I saw a lot of people in a courtyard. On the ground, there was a charred corpse with smoke coming from it.

I walked into the crowd with Jingyang Daoist, and Jingyang Daoist touched the man's neck, and his face sank. That person may have died, that's why he looked like this.

"What happened?" I asked, looking at one of the villagers closest to me.

"We didn't know it, but when we heard the miserable noise outside, we came out to see. But we saw that all of him was covered with fire, and we quickly put out the fire. But before he could do it, he still died. The villager sighed.

"Dispose of the corpse! Let's go back and rest! Daoist Jingyang stood up, looked at everyone and said.

The crowd looked at each other and left. The other two of them were talking as they walked: "Did he provoke the drought?" Attracted the fire of the sky?

"Shhh The Taoist is still there, let's go back! The other man immediately stopped.

At this time, in the entire courtyard, only me, Jingyang Dao Chief, and the person who was burned to death by the inexplicable fire were left.

In the room, a woman, holding a little girl tightly, stood in the room, looking out the door. The two of them were in tears, and they didn't dare to go out, just stood at the door and looked outside.

"Dao Chief, what's going on?" I looked at the Taoist who had been silent.

"It's not clear, go in and ask his family."

When we entered, the woman, who probably knew the Taoist, did not hinder us and let us into the room.

Daoist Jingyang asked, "What happened in the beginning?" ”

"I don't know, I was sleeping with my granddaughter in my arms in another room, but suddenly I heard my son's voice. When I came out of the room, my son was covered in flames. The old man said, and tears flowed from his eyes.

The little girl watched her grandmother cry sadly, and she was also sad. She may also be told that she doesn't know what her grandmother is crying about, but she knows that the person lying in the yard is her father, and he may be dead.

When you saw him, there was a fire burning on him? I looked at the old man and asked.

The old man nodded.

"Does he smoke?" I asked again, looking into the room as well. The only spark was the kerosene lamp on the table. But if it was a kerosene lamp, no matter what happened, it would not be possible to burn a person to death so quickly.

If the possibility of kerosene lamps is ruled out, then there is nothing else. Kerosene lamps are impossible, let alone cigarettes or lighters, matches, and the like.

"No, there are very few people in our whole village who smoke."

I fell into deep thought, and eliminated the fire from the outside world, who could kill a person in such a short time? The whole village seems to be quite harmonious with each other, there is no intrigue, and there is no deceit. Is it really as those two people said, attracting the fire of heaven?

To borrow something from the outside world, it may be possible. Let's say gasoline, then fire. But in this place, I stayed for so long, in addition to the oil for stir-frying on weekdays, there was only kerosene left.

Kerosene is not as easy to light as gasoline, and the temperature of the fire rises slowly, and even this place does not necessarily have gasoline. Other than that, there's really no possibility.

"Dao Chief?" I shouted softly, and from the moment I entered the house, he had only said a word. But he was silent all the time, could he have thought of something?

The Taoist ignored me, and I nudged him again. He woke up from a dream and called out my name, and then explained, "It's not a heavenly fire." ”

"So what's going on?" I asked.

"It's not clear." The Taoist chief said, got up to say goodbye to the old man, and then walked out. I also talked to the old man, and then added: "We will find out about this matter." And then he left his home.

"In two days, we'll get out of here." Daoist Jingyang looked at me and said.

His expression was serious, not joking with me at all. I looked at him and wondered why he had changed, why did he leave now when we were needed?

He heard my doubts, stopped, turned to look at me, and said, "This matter is not something that we can manage, and even if we find out, we are helpless, do we know?" Leaving is our best option, otherwise we will all die here. ”

Daoist Jingyang was a little excited, looked at me and didn't say anything, and said, "This village is going to disappear." ”
