Chapter 149: Return to the Holy City
Master Gui finally couldn't hold back his laughter, he knew that for a thirteen or fourteen-year-old famous family, it was already embarrassing to do this, so he coughed a few times dryly, and said:
"Let's not talk about this, let's get down to business, since you have passed the test there and been recognized by heaven and earth, then you will be the first guest of my Turtle Mansion in the future, and the Turtle Mansion will try its best to meet you for any needs in the future, but," he paused, and said in an accentuated tone: "You can only look for me, and you can't mention these things to anyone, you know?"
Xiao Cong nodded seriously and said suspiciously:
"Were all those people like this before?"
"Who are they?" said Master Gui, raising his eyebrows.
"People like me. ”
Master Gui pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized,
"I've heard of the people you mentioned, but that was a long time ago, and it is estimated that the previous Lord of the Turtle Mansion took over, but they are not the same as you, as far as I know, the people who can pass through there, except for you, the others are in legends. ”
Xiao Cong seemed to understand whether he understood or not, nodded slowly, raised his head and asked:
"Don't you know what happened under the Wind Sleep Valley, Master?"
Master Gui smiled bitterly and shook his head,
"Maybe the previous lords can still know something, to me...... Hi ......"
It seemed that he had encountered something unspeakable, he didn't say any more, Xiao Cong quietly looked at this person who was shaking his head, and suddenly felt a little sad,
"Alas, it's really strange and pitiful that the head of a sect can think like this, it's no different from a puppet.
Then he thought that he seemed to be facing a similar fate, and he couldn't help but sigh softly,
"Maybe that's called Freemasonry. ”
"Since you don't even know about it, why are you so concerned about it? ”
"No," Master Gui shook his head slowly, "Child, you are wrong, people walk this way in the world, no matter how you go, maybe it doesn't matter how you choose to be in this world, but what about yourself? ”
Xiao Cong looked at Master Gui blankly, silent.
"If you have any questions, I can tell you all right now. ”
Xiao Cong opened his mouth, wanted to speak and stopped, endured and endured after all, he still couldn't hold back, brewed for a long time, and said:
"The world is constant, what does it matter if I do it, the power of the grasshopper can shake the will of heaven?" senior, do you think our existence is really meaningful?"
Master Gui was slightly stunned when he heard this, maybe he didn't expect a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy to ask him such a strange question, he thought for a moment and said:
"Child, I don't know what kind of experience makes you feel like this, maybe what you said is right, but I think that there is nothing in this world that we can't do, as I told you before, don't set limits on yourself, it may be that your identity makes you feel that the burden on your shoulders is too heavy, or because of your qualifications and abilities
When you are confused about this, you might as well think about those ordinary ordinary people, don't they also live happily? Take 10,000 steps back, life still has to go on, and go deeper, how you live this day, that depends on you. ”
Xiao Cong still looked at Master Gui motionlessly, he felt like a high sky looking down on Master Gui's poor shallow ignorance at this time, but think about it from another perspective, is Master Gui now laughing at his poor pretentiousness like the heavy earth? He suddenly understood that in fact, everything in this world was relative, but he felt that his thoughts were wrong, because this relative concept made him feel that everything around him was becoming more and more blurred, more and more suspicious, and even had a sense of being more and more distant from the world.
This indescribable contradiction spread all the way to the depths of his heart, turning into an irresistible fear, he felt that his body was dying little by little, he felt that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to breathe, he tried to remove his clenched teeth, and trembled:
"Senior, you...... Isn't it......... Think I... Very... Ridiculous..."
Master Gui looked at Xiao Cong, whose face was already as dead as ashes, his pupils shrank, and he raised a hand and gently put it on Xiao Cong's shoulder, comforting:
"Child, I can understand the situation in your heart now, fate has imposed too much on you, and you can't breathe, so you have doubts about it, but you must know that no matter what era, there are always some people who are different, just like you, you are different from them, you know? ”
As he spoke, Master Gui hugged Xiao Cong into his arms, Xiao Cong's face was against Master Gui's shoulder, and finally cried, he cried unscrupulously, and his tears wet Master Gui's brocade robe.
After a while, the crying became quieter, Xiao Cong straightened up and wiped his red and swollen eyes, this crying was really comfortable.
"Are you better?" asked Master Gui with concern.
"Mmmm, much better. Xiao Cong replied.
Master Gui smiled and nodded,
"Well, that's good, you'll stay here tonight," he said, pointing to the room, "just sleep there, and I'll have you and Ah Xun sent back to the Holy City tomorrow." ”
"Tomorrow!" Xiao Cong was startled when he heard this.
"What, are you still reluctant to leave?"
"No, if I leave tomorrow, what will happen to the rest. ”
"The rest?"
Master Gui pretended to think about it and said with a smile:
"Haven't you already arranged the rest?"
Xiao Cong scratched his head embarrassedly, and the two looked at each other and smiled, tacitly.
In the early morning of the next day, the gate of Guifu Mountain was wide open, the bright sunlight sprinkled all the way along the stone steps, and the moss on the stone edge was pressed out of pieces of marks, shining in the sun, and the master and the four major palms and the elders were in different colors on the dojo in front of the overgrown door, and Ouyang Xun, who was full of sadness, rode a fierce purple eagle away, and in front of the simple and vicissitudes of the mountain gate, I am afraid that it has not been so "lively" for a long time
It's over.
Xiao Cong stood on the back of the eagle, the wind was whistling in his ears, and beside him was Ouyang Xun who was sitting on the ground, he was halfway to the car, this was the arrangement of the master.
"Destiny is determined by heaven, and fortune is born by oneself. ”
He muttered, but the voice was too small, and he was instantly drowned in the wind, this is what Master Gui said to him before leaving, but until now he could not understand what this sentence meant to him, it seemed to be heavier than Mount Tai, and it seemed to be lighter than a feather. He felt like he was struggling, but to no avail, like duckweed, left and right with all the changing factors.
That feeling came again.
Ouyang Xun looked up with a big face, tugged at the corners of Xiao Cong's clothes, patted the back of the carved side of his body, smiled, and motioned for Xiao Cong to sit down.
Xiao Cong smiled back, but the cracked corners of his mouth and the distorted facial features made his smile look more ugly than crying, Ouyang Xun's expression froze slightly, and when Xiao Cong sat down, he patted the latter's shoulder and said with concern:
"Brother, what do you want?"
Xiao Cong's application dodged slightly, shook his head and said:
"Nothing. ”
"Oh,"
Ouyang Xun nodded vigorously, exaggerated his mouth and lengthened the end note, and the words changed,
"What are you going to do with Ye Tutian?"
"I've paved the road for him, and the rest is up to him. ”
Xiao Cong replied absent-mindedly, Ouyang Xun looked at Xiao Cong's face quietly, and found that he couldn't find the focus in Xiao Cong's eyes all the time, his thick eyebrows frowned hurriedly and quickly stretched out, but the unbearability in his eyes could not be concealed.
Xiao Cong still lowered his head like that, Ouyang Xun looked at him with a grin like this, for a long time, maybe he was pretending to be too tired, his eyes began to slowly become dim, and finally he lowered his head like Xiao Cong, and said nothing all the way.
