Chapter 5: Blurred Feelings

Although the stone cave is not big, it is very quiet, looking down, there is a blue sky and white clouds in front of you, a boundless oasis, and several slender rivers are intertwined with each other, forming a beautiful picture scroll, at the end of the boundless oasis is a red scene, I don't know what it is, maybe it is the end of the sky, maybe it is the most beautiful place in the world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Qin Xiaotian looked at the scene in front of him, and for the first time knew what obsession was, this feeling was like a mountain full of camellia in the village, and like a girl squatting there smiling at you.

In Qin Xiaotian's world, there is no girl's smile, there are just all kinds of flowers and plants all over the mountains, in his opinion, the girl's smile is not as soft as nature. For a moment, he actually forgot about the hunger in his belly, and it was not until after noon that he reluctantly got up from the stone bench. Of course, when he left, he also took the dagger on the stone table and the jade plaque out by the way.

It takes a lot of courage to come down, and when you grasp the rope, you also have to pay attention to whether the stones under your feet are firm, but fortunately, Qin Xiaotian did it with his perseverance.

But at this time, if you want to climb up with the rope, you don't just have perseverance, you also need the strength of your shoulders, and the mental preparation to fall off the cliff at any time, if you really die here, Qin Xiaotian can only respect the destiny of heaven, and there is only so much that a teenager can do.

Tie one end of the rope firmly around his thin waist, rub his hands that are a little broken and red, and then grit his teeth and try to keep his balance, pulling the rope in his hand step by step, until his strength is exhausted and he can't breathe, and then he climbs onto the raised boulder.

Hunger in the womb can motivate a man to be bold and make a timid man into a hero, but this pretend hero will not last long. Qin Xiaotian didn't want to be a hero but didn't want to deceive his guts, after having that dagger, he took out a nest of water from the groove in the rock wall of the dark cave, this spring water seeped out from the mountain, the spring water was sweet and delicious, accumulated on the bluestone one meter square, the bluestone was convex and concave like a giant's big hand stretched out from the rock wall, inheriting the spring water overflowing from the stone crack, it was very magical.

Qin Xiaotian lightly sprinkled a nest of clear spring in the palm of his hand on the dagger, it may be a long time, the handwriting on this dagger has become blurred, but this did not affect Qin Xiaotian's wiping of it, after a period of friction, the rust on the dagger receded by three points, revealing a trace of coldness. A chilling chill emanated from the dagger.

Carrying the mouth of the dark hole to the left, it is a trail down the mountain. The path was overgrown with a man-tall shrub as far as the eye could see, and from time to time hares could be seen coming out to feed among the bushes and weeds, and evil snake pythons curled up in a ball and spitting out letters in their mouths to greet passers-by.

In Qin Xiaotian's opinion, this snake must be full of food and support, enjoying a moment of peace here. That's why he didn't attack the rabbit in front of him, and there is another possibility, the snake python is a vegetarian like him.

However, at this time, Qin Xiaotian was already accustomed to meat food with blood, which was the wildness flowing in the vulture's body.

Catching a hare to satisfy their hunger is not a difficult task for the children of the village. So after a while, Qin Xiaotian lifted two gray rabbits, one big and one small, and walked out of the grass. With this dagger, there is hope of living.

Qin Xiaotian had no choice but to admit that if he didn't do evil, he would starve to death, no matter how reluctant he was in his heart, he had to grit his teeth and persevere, because only in this way could he find a way to live for himself, and the fools in the village couldn't count on it, only by living by himself and learning the ability could he have his own piece of sky.

The gurgling spring water flows from the stone wall, as if time has passed quietly. It was night again, and Qin Xiaotian was a little excited, because he was going to be literate with Mr. Ghost sent by his grandfather from the underworld from tonight.

At the third watch, Qin Xiaotian in the dream was woken up by a middle-aged man in a robe and began a long and tedious learning process. Fortunately, Qin Xiaotian, this kid is talented and intelligent, no matter what the middle-aged man teaches, he can be familiar with it twice at most.

"Very good, I, Zhou Tongmu, have found a successor, and I will pass on the most satisfying masterpiece in my life to you. As long as you are willing to practice hard, within three years, you will be able to achieve a small success. "The middle-aged man's original name is Zhou Tongmu, the son of Zhou Jintai, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, who can do poetry at the age of eight, and won the first place in the township examination at the age of eleven, and the first in the general examination at the age of fourteen. Moreover, he is also an agile light master in the rivers and lakes, and his original Nine Palaces and Eight Steps are still unbeatable secret skills so far.

What Qin Xiaotian didn't expect was that Zhou Tongmu was so low-key. But after thinking about it, he was just a remnant soul at this time, no matter how powerful he was, what could he do!

If it weren't for the fact that Grandpa had done a ghost and appreciated this person and asked him to teach him, I'm afraid he would have lived in depression for the rest of his life.

"It turns out that the master is so powerful! The apprentice kowtowed to the master. Qin Xiaotian wanted to kneel down to make up for the three kneeling and nine knocks before the apprenticeship, but was stopped by Zhou Tongmu. "How did I, a short-lived ghost with incomplete spirits, do your master, you can call me sir, it is already the greatest luck in my life Zhou Tongmu. ”

"Aren't Mr. and Master the same thing?" Qin Xiaotian wondered.

"I say it's different, it's different, don't be wordy, remember the ,,, heart mantra and don't pass it on to a third party, if you do something you shouldn't do with your conscience, I won't let you go. Zhou Tongmu said.

Qin Xiaotian was a little short-circuited, but he could see that the Zhou Tongmu in front of him who taught him skills was by no means simple, and he didn't know how he died. "Sir, do you have relatives in Yangshi, do you want the students to do anything for you?"

Human beings are made of flesh and blood, and even if the ghosts have no flesh and blood, their spirits are only released under the influence of external magnetic fields.

Whether it is a human being or a ghost, there are always things that are reluctant to give up, Zhou Tongmu was in a trance when he heard Qin Xiaotian's greetings, his eyes were full of sorrow of pity, but it was difficult to do his best to protect him, this is the wandering between life and death, and it is another tragic unsolved case created by the reluctance in the eyes of the living and the dead.

"How do you know that I am reluctant, and how do you know that I have relatives. ”

"Mr. regards the students as his own, why not let the students fulfill their filial piety and fulfill their morality if they have unfinished business. At this time, Qin Xiaotian was already fourteen years old, and after learning skills with Zhou Tongmu for three years, he had his own ideas and principles of life. The reason why he knew about Zhou Tongmu's past was because of the letter given to him by his grandfather Qin Su.

The letter is a few lines, but the righteousness is eternal.

The beginning of the letter reads: "When I was poor, Yan'er smiled. Retreating from the forbidden land is not a disaster. The ancestors have stone dragons, hidden deep in the holes. Passing on the blood of things, recognizing ancestors and returning to filial piety. There are a total of thirty-two words, Qin Xiaotian doesn't understand the meaning, but he vaguely understands that the first eight words are a summary of the present.

The letter concludes with a detailed account of Zhou Tongmu's life's achievements and who he was victimized against. What kind of feelings are stored in the heart?

"Is Mr.'s little girl called Zhiruo?"

Zhou Tongmu, who was in a trance, heard this, and suddenly turned his head behind his back, but his body was carrying Qin Xiaotian on his back. It was the first time Qin Xiaotian had seen Mr. Ghost who taught him to read and write so out of shape, but he was not afraid, because after three years of getting along, Qin Xiaotian had already figured out Zhou Tongmu's temper.

"Sir, don't be sad!" Qin Xiaoyan comforted, he could understand the pain of the separation of yin and yang.

Zhou Tongmu did not evade, and explained the cause and effect, including how he died, and the general whereabouts of the little girl.

One day fifteen years ago, Zhou Tongmu quietly came to the Wang's house in the capital with the eight steps of the nine palaces and eight steps of the wind and the wind and moon with Miss Wang's famous show, who knew that he was discovered by the people in the house, so he told the matter to the king lord, and the king lord was discussing with a secret guest the plan to exterminate the eunuch party.

When the secret guest heard that there were prostitution thieves in your mansion, he retired behind the scenes, and waited for Master Wang to conspire again after dealing with family affairs. Unexpectedly, the secret guest was assassinated by the man in black in the palace, and when the king was panicked, he quickly asked his subordinates to dispose of the secret guest's body.

How can there be an impermeable wall in this world, the news quickly spread to the palace, and the eunuch was worried that he couldn't find a chance to attack the king, but he didn't expect to fulfill them at this time, so he pushed the boat down the river and charged the Wang family with rebellion.

After forging the holy decree, he brutally killed more than 200 people in the palace. Fortunately, Miss Wang's famous show eloped with Zhou Tongmu a few days ago and escaped. A year later, he gave birth to a daughter, and later learned that the Wang family was beheaded, and Zhou Tongmu, as a man, couldn't bear to see his beloved woman disturbed by hatred, so he sneaked into the palace on a dark night and wanted to kill the eunuch who poisoned the Wang family, but he didn't want the news to fall and was caught by the net laid in advance.

Although Zhou Tongmu was the champion of the Holy Family, he could not escape the false accusations of the public, and was finally killed by random arrows. Soon after his death, he was not allowed to belong to the underworld because of his accumulated grievances, and he was homeless and could only be a lonely ghost.

It wasn't until Qin Su saw Zhou Tongmu floating here in the thatched house that night that he saw the hope of revenge.

Qin Su has been cultivating for many years, although he is sick, he has a certain Taoism, and he is only a few days away from the limit, and when he learned that there will be a ghost after death, he was anxious to arrange Qin Xiaotian's future life.

Zhou Tongmu was also able to be included in the underworld because of Qin Su's inauguration, and became a record of Qin Su's side.

Taoism emphasizes this life, and Buddhism cultivates the afterlife. No matter how Zhou Tongmu died, he would be destined to become Qin Xiaotian's enlightenment teacher in the dark. The nine palaces and eight steps are of great significance to Zhou Tongmu, and the children who can be favored by him will have extraordinary achievements in the future.

After listening to Zhou Tongmu's story, Qin Xiaotian was even more pleased with his experience. At the same time, he promised Zhou Tongmu that after three years, he would go to Jiangnan to find Zhou Zhiruo's whereabouts and use his life to take care of her.

Zhou Tongmu smiled, he didn't expect a child to know how to repay a person who was kind to him with his life. Such a child deserves to be with him.

After three years of teaching, Qin Xiaotian heard a lot of things he had experienced from Zhou Tongmu, and also learned Zhou Tongmu's unruly behavior and the artistic conception of the spring breeze Salan Xue.

But there is a difference between people, the difference between Qin Xiaotian and Zhou Tongmu is that one is a human and the other is a ghost.

To say something deeper, maybe in his bones Qin Xiaotian is still not the kind of person who likes to fight with people, and is so stupid that he runs to the palace alone to die for the so-called love, of course Qin Xiaotian has never liked it, so he doesn't understand what kind of obsessive and evocative emotion is that makes a man feel intoxicated and can give his life for her.
