005 Farewell
The old and the living, the living will eventually forget each other.
At this moment, Wang Shen suddenly felt that the world above his head seemed extremely depressing, he had never felt that the soul attraction pavilion behind him, which was enough to accommodate dozens of people, would seem so narrow and narrow, and a tidal wave of suffocation seemed to be about to swallow him.
Wang Shen sat down cross-legged and stared blankly at the endless east, when he suddenly wanted to see what kind of mountain the master said was very high and tall, and what kind of mountain made this master who had seen through the world face it until he died.
Perhaps, Master, the old man never thought of letting himself go there.
Wang Shen laughed at himself, and at this time, a flying insect suddenly flew in front of his eyes, and he subconsciously closed his eyes. When everything in front of him becomes pitch black and empty, Wang Shen will be extraordinarily calm, and everything in his mind will be empty, only the clear sound of the morning breeze through the forest in his ears, the chirping of insects and birds in the distance, and the exceptionally clear sound of flying insects flapping their wings nearby.
These complex and clear voices reconstitute a picture in Wang Shen's mind, especially the little flying insect, Wang Shen seems to be able to see its every flapping of wings and turns, this is a fictional but more real world than what the eyes see, although at first Wang Shen only did this for the purpose of practicing the spirit suppression technique, but later every time he had something on his mind, he would immerse himself in this world with only sounds.
Once, when the master saw him sitting on the mountain in a daze with his eyes closed, he asked him what he saw, and when Wang Shen said how he felt, a few traces of surprise and relief flashed in the old Taoist's cloudy eyes.
"Xiao Shen, you practice hard, I haven't learned much from this town spirit master, but I heard my master say that this is a great spell, although I haven't seen him use it, cough cough...... If you have the opportunity in the future, you can't insult the prestige of my master, you are different from your senior brother, hey......"
In the past five years, what Wang Shen has heard the most is the sigh of the master, he knows that this old Taoist priest who has almost traveled all over the world has an extraordinary background, just like he is carrying an unspeakable secret, and even the injuries on his body are so shocking.
Two years ago, Wang Shen had a small success in practicing the Soul Suppression Technique, and when he closed his eyes, he could see the three souls and seven spirits on the people next to him, although it was vague and unclear, but at least he could feel its existence. When he looked at his master, he found that the three souls on his body had been dimly distinguished, and only four of the seven souls on his body remained.
But now, in the bulging grave, even those familiar remnants are gone.
"I can let the person who is in charge of the Yin Division of Qinzhou Mansion come to collect it in person, it seems that Master, your old man's face is really not small......"
Wang Shen opened his eyes and muttered to himself at the lonely tomb.
"Hmph, no matter how big your face is, you don't even have a decent grave? I don't think any of the three masters and apprentices are good things, the old ghost just died, and the two little ghosts ran faster than rabbits, so you are honest and stupid to stay here. ”
A beautiful little white fox appeared beside Wang Shen at some point and spoke coldly to him.
Wang Shen glanced at her and said, "Your appearance is much more pleasing to the eye than the mouse two days ago." ”
The white-haired little fox proudly turned around twice on the ground, showing off his snow-like hair, and said proudly: "This is the skin that this girl found after running several mountains, hehe, do you like it?"
Wang Shen said coldly: "It's not that you can't see the light, although these beasts are weak, they are all lives, and if you can do less, you will do less evil." ”
"Hmph, why don't you think that these are all lives when you take your dear little sister up the mountain to catch pheasants and hares?
"That's different, I caught it for my master to make up for his body, this wilderness, there is nothing to eat, and you are just greedy for fun and kill it. ”
"Phew! Which eye did you see that this girl had killed them? The surname Wang, don't be ignorant! That black-haired mouse died to fetch medicine for your master, what does it matter to me? If you really want to settle it, this account must also be counted on your head! Hmph, the old immortal who deserves not to see you, everything is hidden, now it's okay, after shouting for five years for master, I haven't learned anything, don't you regret it?"
The white-haired fox jumped to his feet angrily by Wang Shen's words, and mocked him again and again.
Wang Shen had long been accustomed to her temper, and said lightly: "Who said I didn't learn anything? ”
"Soul suppression? After using it, you will collapse on the ground like a dead pig, that spell? Do you know what your senior brother practiced in the back mountain? I have never seen such swordsmanship in my twenty years of crisscrossing the rivers and lakes. ”
"Dead pig, if you have the ability, you can also try to order a red-clothed ghost?"
"Isn't it just a red-clothed ghost! this girl is going to take his head off and show you!"
After saying that, the white-haired fox really turned around and left, but after walking a few steps, he turned back without saying a word.
"Where's the head?"
Wang Shen glanced at her and teased.
The white-haired fox was unconvinced and said: "Forget it, it's not easy to see him practice, hiding in the mountains and not going out to harm people, this girl spared him this time." Besides, a mass of ghosts, where can the head be picked? ”
Seeing Wang Shen's disdainful look, the white-haired fox hesitated for a while and then asked, "Why don't you go with the two of them?"
Wang Shen was silent for a long time before he sighed: "Actually, I don't know the intentions of the master and brother, the master didn't tell me anything, and the senior brother didn't let me follow, just because I was afraid that I would be unloaded by the enemy before I could figure out what was going on." I'm different from my senior brother, he can cultivate the powerful swordsmanship of the master's sect, so the master can rest assured that he will take Yun Xuan away, I'm different, I can't even gather qi, let alone practice swords, rather than not being able to enter the door, it is better to clear the relationship, at least I can leave a small life here to stay and mess around. ”
"You're a little self-aware, but I said a long time ago, it's not that you're stupid, it's that the master you're looking for can't do it. How about it? Do you want to consider my suggestion, as long as you practice according to what I say, don't say anything about gathering energy, at most two years, I guarantee to throw off your senior brother a few streets, and according to your situation, it is simply a hundred years, oh no, once in a thousand years......
"No, I don't practice. ”
Before the little fox could finish speaking, he was categorically interrupted by Wang Shen.
"You! If you don't practice the Great Dao of Ascending Heaven in front of you, do you have to learn any spirit suppression technique? The surname is Wang, do you have a bad brain when you look at insects! And what did you say last time? As long as I help you get the Hanzhu Flower, you can consider my suggestion......
"Well, I thought about it, but I still don't practice. Moreover, my master is dead, and the Hanzhu grass is useless, don't think that I don't know that I must have been secretly eaten by yourself, this favor seems like I helped you in turn. ”
"What if the old lady eats it! If you don't practice, then you will be a waste here for the rest of your life! A waste who deals with dead people every day!"
Important words, the little fox said three times.
Wang Shen said indifferently: "Waste is waste, it's better than becoming a monster." Master told me that there must be a bottom line in life. ”
The word monster seemed to touch the bottom line of the little fox, she was so angry that her hair stood upside down, and she threw herself on Wang Shen with a scream, and Wang Shen had already figured out her temper, her fingertips pressed on her forehead, and shouted softly: "Heaven and earth are yellow, all spirits are hidden, and they are as urgent as the law!"
Without the need for essence blood, the soul suppression technique can also exert three or four percent of its power, and the yin soul hidden in the little fox's body suddenly felt a powerful force poured directly into her mind, so frightened that she hurriedly turned into a white light and escaped from the fox's body.
"The surname is Wang, you wait for this girl!"
The man disappeared with the shadow, and soon disappeared into the dense forest.
Wang Shen grabbed the white-haired little fox in mid-air, put it on his lap, and gently stroked its forehead, the soul of the fox that was invaded by foreign objects was damaged and was in a coma, but under Wang Shen's comfort, the little fox quickly woke up, shook his drowsy head vigorously, and found that he was held in his arms by a stranger, and he kicked his feet in shock, and jumped out of Wang Shen's arms.
The wild fox, who had been freed, stood far away, looked back at Wang Shen curiously a few times, and then slowly dragged his tail away.
So, Wang Shen became a person again, he just sat by this lonely tomb without saying a word, until he saw the sunset, his stomach began to rumble before he stood up, and said goodbye to the simple wooden sign: "Master, senior brother and Yun Xuan are gone, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you for long, senior brother is right, the world is so big, I also want to go out and see." You said back then that my problem is not incurable, but you were seriously injured at the time and could not treat me, but the world is so big, you are sure that you can find someone to treat me. Senior brother can learn swords, in fact, I want to learn it in my heart, but I know I can't, but I don't want to give up just like that. I have to find a way to find a way, think of a way, if Senior Brother and Yun Xuan encounter the trouble you encountered back then in the future, I can also help a little, don't you say?"
Speaking of this, Wang Shen paused, and added: "Don't worry, you old man, I will never go out before I learn the skills, you told me to stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, and you must have planned to do this when you hid here when the senior brother and Yun Xuan practiced swords." In this case, the more mountains that are left, the better, isn't it? Although I am a small mound at most now, what if I leave the shit and become a small hill? What's the matter, it's better than Yun Xuan's lazy girl, right? In two days, the person in charge of the lantern in Qinzhou Mansion will come again, and I plan to tell him that I won't stay here, although there is no shortage of money to be a little immortal official, but Master, you are gone, and I have no place to honor the money. Don't worry, Master, I will come back here often to see you in the future. ”
After that, Wang Shen respectfully kowtowed a few times before standing up, and before leaving, he couldn't help but turn back to the lonely tomb and said solemnly: "Master, I will go and see the very high mountain in the east that you said. Also, if your enmity is that Senior Brother and Yun Xuan don't have a chance to avenge you, I, Wang Shen, will never forget it in my life. ”
