Chapter 16: Binglin's apprenticeship
The bearded man opened his eyes and looked at the environment in front of him very unfamiliar, motionless.
Suddenly, a phrase came from the side: "Awake?"
Wake up? The Taoist chief immediately opened his eyes, and he had just settled down. If it weren't for the monk's wake-up sentence, he would probably still be in the fugue.
The beard in front of him is as good as ever. The bearded man kept retreating on the ground, watching in horror as the two Taoist priests and monks leaned out of the dark cave and stared at him.
"You're... Who?" asked the monk.
The bearded man still looked panicked and did not answer.
The Dao Leader took out the sharp knife from behind him, and saw that the bearded man's pupils quickly contracted, and he looked even more frightened!
The Taoist chief slowly handed over the knife and said, "Don't worry, it's safe here." ”
The bearded man slowly probed and quickly took the sharp knife back and placed it in front of him, pounding his chest and panting heavily.
The monk scratched his head and looked at the Taoist: "Is this a bearded man? ”
"What's that?" asked the bearded man, pointing to a cave full of Bi Fang's feathers.
The Taoist chief and the monk looked at the bearded wooden light, and there was just a pile of cleaned Bifang feathers.
Could it be that the fear of death has left a psychological wound?
The monk recited a Buddha name, and the Taoist chief took a coarse cloth and covered all Bi Fang's feathers.
After a long time, the bearded man's mood gradually stabilized, and he asked, "Who are you two? Why am I here?"
The monk pointed to the Taoist chief and said, "His name is the Taoist, and my name is Aurora Monk." ”
The Taoist chief took over and said, "For the sake of fairness, we can ask each other questions, and now you tell us, what is your name?"
The bearded man glanced at the coarse cloth covered with Bi Fang's feathers, hesitated for a moment and said, "My name is... Kotohae. ”
The monk and the Taoist chief glanced at each other, and the monk smiled: "As long as you are Jiang Donghai, it will be easy to do..."
After confirming that Jiang Donghai was still the bearded man before, the Taoist chief briefly told Jiang Donghai's information, and then told the bearded man everything he knew, but omitted the fact that the bearded man and Bi Fang died together, and changed it to him killing Bi Fang and being in a coma for several days. Lying is something that monks are not good at.
The bearded man always subconsciously scratched his chest a few times, and this action was really awkward in the eyes of the Taoist chief and the monk.
The bearded man who didn't speak for a long time looked at the Taoist chief and asked, "You said we were in hell, how can you prove it." ”
At this time, Bing Lin hugged Lao Feng and rushed over when she heard the movement.
When Bing Lin saw the intact beard, she shouted happily, "Bearded! You really came back to life!!"
The Taoist quickly pulled Bing Lin aside and whispered to her that she couldn't let the bearded man know that he had died once. can only let him know that he killed Bi Fang and passed out.
Binglin nodded in understanding.
"Sister Xiaomo is back..."
The monk hurriedly went up and asked, "Then did she hear any news?"
Bing Lin shook her head and said, "Sister Xiaomo only said that I can't be with this child anymore, let me hand over Lao Feng to you, and then take me away." ”
"Why can't I let you take Lao Feng with you?" asked the Dao Chief.
Bing Lin shook her head, looked at Lao Feng, who was still sleeping soundly in her arms, and said, "Sister Xiaomo said that Lao Feng is very dangerous after waking up, and being with him will only cause more painful results than soul disconnection." ”
The monk smiled and asked, "What's the result?"
"It's better to live than to die... Sister Xiaomo's original words. ”
After hearing this, the monk laughed: "That's not a bad result!"
The monk glanced at the beard who was still sitting in the corner listening to the conversation between the three of them, and then looked at the Taoist chief and said, "Isn't it now?" ”
The Dao Chief just nodded slightly, and said to Binglin, "So, there's nothing worse than that... We'll take the old maple with us. ”
Bing Lin muttered quietly, "I didn't say I wanted to go with Sister Xiaomo..."
"Binglin, you have to think clearly!"
Wei Xiaomo's figure suddenly came from behind him.
"Sister Xiaomo..."
Wei Xiaomo glanced at the bearded man in the corner, frowned slightly, and said: "Binglin, life is better than death as the teacher said, it is not the reincarnation of life and death, but you only want to die, only to scatter your soul, but you can't do it." Constantly reincarnated in the most painful process, lonely and helpless. And you'll know that no one is going to help you out. ”
"Anyway!" Wei Xiaomo held his finger wrapped around the whip and said to Lao Feng in Binglin's arms: "The forces opposite him are not something you can resist, even I have to retreat." And don't think that you are all really immortal, but you don't know how to die. When you know, it's too late..."
Everyone looked at Binglin, and the monk and the Taoist knew that Wei Xiaomo said so much just to impress Binglin and make her give up Lao Feng. As for the two of them and the beard, they didn't pay attention to it at all.
Bing Lin looked at the sleeping Lao Feng and felt that Lao Feng's little hands habitually tugged at his clothes. Bing Lin smiled, and rubbed Lao Feng's little face with her fingers gently.
Wei Xiaomo sighed, waved his hand and said, "That's it... I declare in advance that this child can only stay here during this time, and that cannot be taken with him. And!"
"I only care about Binglin, as for the others, including this child, life and death have nothing to do with me. ”
After Wei Xiaomo finished speaking coldly, he put on a look of regret and gently stroked Binglin's long hair and said, "Child, I just don't want you to think I'm cold-blooded and ruthless." It's a lot of things, and there's really nothing we can do about it. ”
Bing Lin said with a smile: "I know that Master is not a ruthless person! If it really comes to that time, I will protect Lao Feng and will not affect Master, I understand!"
The Taoist chief said, "Binglin, don't forget our existence. ”
The monk folded his hands and said, "The poor monk is also fearless. ”
Binglin smiled happily, but the three of them all looked at the beard who was still sitting in the corner.
The bearded man looked at everyone blankly, thinking that it would be good for you to talk about yours. Can't I just be if I don't exist? You guys were talking for a while, and I slowly slipped away.
"We don't actually know each other very well, you have your lofty ideals, and I also have..."
Before the words fell, an imposing long whip swam towards him, and before he could see clearly, he had already tied himself firmly from top to bottom, especially the mouth part, almost all the strangled teeth were about to fall out!
The panic is often shouted out, and it will be lessened, but at this time, the bearded man can only use his nose to make heavy breathing sounds, and before he can finish feeling the pain of the bones in his body, the person has been suspended in mid-air, and then the long whip is released, and the person falls heavily to the ground.
The whole process does not take more than 3 seconds. But for the bearded man, he thought about it for a long time. It's like feeling that life is worse than death.
Bing Lin said angrily: "Master, how are you..."
Wei Xiaomo interrupted Binglin's questioning and said, "The most effective and direct way to persuade is to beat the other party until they are convinced!"
After speaking, I didn't forget to glance at the Taoist chief and the monk!
The monk and the Taoist chief did not refute it, it was a waste of saliva. The two of them walked directly towards the hot spring with the beard that was about to fall apart.
The bearded man who almost fainted, and after lying on the hot spring for a stick of incense, his eyes returned to normal.
"What the hell have I done?!" the bearded man put his head on the edge of the hot spring with his neck sideways, and lay motionless in the hot spring, crying bitterly.
Neither the Taoist nor the monk persuaded him, because... It's really unlucky and pitiful.
Fortunately, the bearded man's injuries are similar to those of the Dao Chief, they are all skin injuries, but he will lose his mobility for a while and a half.
I watched the bearded body slowly regain consciousness. The monk said, "Now you believe that we are in another world, right?"
The bearded man didn't speak, twisted his head to the other side, closed his eyes in love, and let the last tears fall.
"As for it, didn't you say that as a mercenary, you want to be fierce, you want a man?"
"As for it, if you try it, you'll know! If you try it, you'll know what it's like to say that life is better than death!"
The Taoist chief patted the bearded man on the shoulder and said, "Donghai, no matter what reason we came here. All four of us got out of the Black Forest safely because of this child. ”
"You can see the strength of that violent maniac, she said that as long as we are strong enough, the farther away from the Black Forest, the less affected we will be. ”
"It's nothing to do with me... I have nothing left..."
The Taoist chief still said patiently: "There is no one-size-fits-all thing in this world, only if you have enough ability, you can control yourself as you want." ”
"Donghai, if you think about the world in the past, even if you had millions of dollars, but it was black money, even if you could spend it justifiably, how long could you spend it? a month, a year, or ten years. You'll only want more, so you'll have to keep taking on missions to kill people, break things, and take on the hunt of the law. And then take the money and hide, you can rest assured that there will be younger and more powerful killers and police officers or enemies who will find you. ”
The bearded man slowly opened his eyes and stared vacantly at the cone-shaped stalactites above, and he suddenly felt frightened, feeling that these awls would fall off at any moment and kill him.
Beard scratched his chest and shifted to a position where there weren't so many stalactites above.
The Taoist chief followed and continued: "The current world is respected by force, don't you think this world is prepared for you?"
"But we are all cursed, and we will only be reincarnated here again and again..."
"The Black Forest acquiesced in our departure with Kaede, which means that as long as we are far enough away from the Black Forest with Maple, we will be less constrained. When we're strong enough, I think we'll find a way to break this bondage. ”
"It's just that we're too weak now, and when we have a strong mental and physical strength, the way will naturally show clues. ”
