Chapter Fifty-Eight: People Grow Old and Become Fine
After a long time, Songhe Lao Dao seemed to have eased up, he first stared at Qingyang for a long time, and then said: "Apprentice, I see that your eyes are dark, not like you have just cried bitterly, Master, I am dead, are you not sad at all?" ”
Seeing that the first thing his master did when he woke up was not to ask about the current situation, he was really big-hearted, Qingyang said angrily: "You are not really dead, what am I sad about?" ”
"Even if I don't really die, but the purpose is to hide from others, in front of so many people, if you don't really suffer, won't you be seen as flawed? To deceive others is to believe even yourself, and I still need Master to teach you? "Songhe said in the air.
Qingyang was made to laugh and cry by Master's words, and said: "It's good enough, my crying voice at that time was at least several times louder than when the father of the skin Youfeng died, but the tears really couldn't be squeezed out." If you feel unwilling, when you really die in the future, I will definitely cry and cry, and it is not impossible to pass out. ”
Hearing Qingyang's teasing words, Songhe Lao Dao's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Is there such an apprentice as you?" How dare you curse Master to die? ”
Qingyang was also full of grievances, and said: "Master, you died with a kick of your legs, and you threw everything to my apprentice, do you know that the rest of us are almost wiped out?" If I hadn't run fast, I might have met Lord Yama one step ahead of time, and then there would really be no one to give you a pension. ”
Seeing what Qingyang said was dangerous, Songhe was about to ask what was going on, when he suddenly felt abnormal pain behind him, he reached out and touched it, took out a bloody flying knife, looked at Qingyang and said angrily: "Why is my butt hurt?" Are you using me as a shield? ”
Fleeing all the way, Qingyang never noticed that the master was injured, and when he saw the flying knife, he suddenly realized that he should have been shot by Hu Zhenhua before escaping from the cave. Looking at the blood on Master's hand, he looked for hemostatic medicine and bandaged Master's wound while saying, "Mistake, really a mistake, the situation was urgent, I just ran away with you on my back, but I didn't expect that Hu Zhenhua to take out a flying knife and pierce your buttocks?" ”
Seeing that Qingyang mentioned the urgency of the situation again, Songhe Lao Dao knew that the situation was serious, and his expression finally became more serious, and said, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
Qingyang was full of grievances to say, so he told everything that happened after Songhe Lao Dao pretended to be dead, and after listening to Songhe Lao Dao, he was silent for a while, and said: "It's that I think it's bad, if Hu Zhensong's guy is still alive, the Tiger Gang shouldn't turn his face so quickly, this Hu Zhentai is much darker than his brother Hu Zhensong's heart." ”
Qingyang said with a smile: "I didn't expect the day when the master was wrong." ”
Seeing that his apprentice Qingyang dared to laugh at himself, Songhe said angrily: "What do you know? Master, I pretended to be dead not because of the Tiger Gang, but to hide from those three Immortal Masters, compared to those three Immortal Masters, what is the threat of the Tiger Gang? ”
"Master is afraid of those three immortal masters? Why? Qingyang wondered.
Old Songhe snorted and said, "The three with the highest strength, Huzhen Song is dead, the empty old monk is disabled, and only I am alive and well." Not only am I fine, but even you, the apprentice, have come out alive, do you think those three immortal masters will be suspicious? Even if there is no suspicion, at least they will take care of me, and then we will be meat on the chopping board, and we can only be slaughtered. ”
Seeing that Qingyang didn't seem to believe it, Songhe said again: "Do you think that Qian Banxian is really because of that compass?" What kind of treasures have the immortal masters not seen? That's just an excuse, not only took the treasure, but also killed people, in the final analysis, because his existence is too suspicious, so many masters have died, but he survived one of the seriously injured before, isn't it too strange? ”
"But my strength with Xuanzhu and Pi Youfeng is even worse, and I survived safely to the end, why didn't I arouse the suspicion of the immortal masters?" Qingyang Road.
"Can you three compare to us? You are young, you don't have much experience at first glance, and you can't hide any secrets. Your strength is low, and you rarely let you take risks, and the three of you are taken care of by elders, everyone knows that we would rather die ourselves than let you be hurt, isn't it normal to live to the end? Songhe said.
"And in the end, the Immortal Master of Naxi took special care of you, he deliberately emphasized the importance of the Knock Immortal Order, maybe it was also intentional, so as to arouse your covetousness for the Knock Immortal Order, and at the same time awaken the vigilance of the Tiger Gang. If you can get you and the Tigers to fight each other, no matter who wins or loses, you will eventually thank him for his advice, and he will be killed by the way. ”
Songhe Lao Dao explained so clearly, Qingyang also understood, for several immortal masters, the three of them were fledgling, and there could be no secrets, and people like Qian Banxian and Songhe Lao Dao were the most likely to arouse suspicion.
It doesn't matter if the Songhe Old Dao is dead, as long as he survives, he will definitely be taken care of, if a few immortal masters deliberately look for trouble, a hundred Songhe Old Dao is not an opponent, so he can only pretend to be dead. However, Master's ability to pretend to be dead is really powerful, and he can even deceive three immortal masters.
Old Songhe seemed to see through Qingyang's mind and said, "How can I be so powerful? At that time, I almost exhausted all my strength, and it took me all my life to enter a deep state of suspended animation. Moreover, several immortal masters didn't expect that I, a mortal, would dare to pretend to be dead to deceive them, plus they were about to get a lot of treasures, and they only had greed in their hearts, so I got away with it. It's a pity that the sequelae of this exercise are also very serious, and I can't recover my strength for at least a month. ”
Songhe said it easily, but Qingyang knew that if it wasn't for the kung fu of fake death, and he had enough understanding of the mind, ordinary people would still not dare to try it casually. Unexpectedly, the master could even anticipate the thoughts of the immortal masters.
Qingyang was about to flatter the master for two sentences, but Songhe Lao Dao suddenly looked at his waist and said, "Apprentice, where is the wine gourd that I gave you as a token of the master?" ”
Qingyang couldn't help but touch his waist, only to find out at this time that the wine gourd that had been tied to his waist didn't know where to go, he searched in the cave, but didn't find it, and then went to the small river where he cleaned his wounds and searched around, and found no trace of the wine gourd.
This is strange, could it be that when Hu Zhenhua's flying knife shot at him, the rope that tied the wine gourd was also broken? The wine gourd fell in the cave? Or maybe you didn't pay attention when you escaped, and the rope was cut by a branch, and the wine gourd was lost on the way?
