"Okay, let's wait for the master quietly." Xuanhu took a long breath: "All the news is good news. ”

It was night, and it was getting dark.

Xuanhu was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, I looked at the time that was getting later and later, and my heart was a little unsteady, the master would not miss the appointment, right?

"Wow."

There was a sound of hurried and powerful footsteps, and the master pushed the door straight in, and the white hair looked particularly dazzling.

"Master."

I quickly stood up and saluted my master.

Xuanhu opened his eyes slightly, glanced at the master, and closed them again.

"Master is here."

The master said straightforwardly.

Xuanhu's eyes widened, and a carp bounced up from the bed: "What do you say?" ”

The master pointed at me with his chin: "We have probably discussed it, wait for him to pass." ”

I looked like a seriously ill patient looking forward to a miracle doctor, and stood up suddenly: "I'll go right away." ”

After a pause, I looked at the strip of cloth on my wrist and said with a smile: "Actually, it's good for you to make a decision, and I can bear any kind of outcome." ”

"No, you have to make your own decision." The master looked at me with a straight face.

Looking at the master's serious face, I had no choice but to nod: "Okay, then I'll go." ”

As he spoke, I was about to go out, but the master grabbed my wrist and said with a little worry, "You have to be mentally prepared." ”

"What is this?"

The master touched the bow on my wrist and looked at it in front of my eyes.

"Ho! What does this smell like! The master's brow furrowed slightly.

Xuanhu stroked the bow beautifully, and talked about the day's events by the way, and the master who listened looked disgusted.

"Can't you give him something nice?" The master looked at Xuanhu with disgust.

Xuanhu swore and said: "This is my mantle!" ”

"Tsk." The master shook his head and looked at me: "You are really not dirty, he hasn't washed this thing for several years." ”

Xuanhu laughed: "Or, I'll also prick one for you?" How cool you are with all your gray hair and a bow! ”

"Go, go, go." The master laughed and scolded: "Who is rare about your footcloth? ”

Between the laughter, the depressed atmosphere dissipated a lot, and a group of three strode towards the master's bedroom, towards the ending waiting for me.

In the room, the master sat on the Taishi chair steadily, and the master had just found someone to make a new table and chair, and the blue and white stubble was exposed, and it was too late to paint, so it was put in by the master.

According to the master's words, the tables and chairs are decent, they can be broken, but they can't be without, and they can't always ask guests to sit on the ground, let alone sit on the bed.

Even though he and his master have been old friends for many years, they still abide by this old rule.

The master didn't care, and sat calmly on the Taishi's chair without the slightest discomfort.

"Master." Xuanhu bowed and took care of the master.

I was short and knelt on the ground respectfully: "Disciple see master." ”

"Your own family, no courtesy." The master responded.

The master and the master sat side by side, with the same calm on their faces, while Xuanhu leaned leisurely against the door frame.

I stood in the middle, like a criminal awaiting trial, inexplicably cramped.

"Sit down." The master gestured to the stool behind me.

Seeing that I was seated, the master took the lead in speaking: "Fang Cai, I have already discussed it with your master. There are some things that you don't have to choose, and some things that you have to choose. ”

The master is like a businessman, and his logical and clear opening remarks make me feel more steady, and this steadfastness comes from the fact that I still have a little choice.

"Let's talk about it first, you can't choose." Master Zhengse said: "Daoist, you definitely can't do it." ”

When I heard it again, I still chuckled in my heart, but I immediately regained my composure.

The master groaned and said, "Out of personal friendship, let me tell you why." ”

"There is no doubt that you have been ordained. Nominally, you are still a Taoist priest, but Huang Tianhe's whereabouts are unknown, and your spiritual root has disappeared with you, and you can no longer practice Taoism. ”

As far as I am concerned, this sentence is a death sentence, and all hope has become despair.

I smiled bitterly: "I now belong to the empty shell of the Taoist priest, but I can't do anything." ”

The master looked at me with a straight face: "That's right, it's just an empty shell." However, this empty shell played a big role. ”
