Chapter Twenty-Three: The Past of the Old Man of the Soul
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it disappears into the change of stars.
When the first rays of the morning sun shine on the earth, a vague figure looms on the mountainside of the broken wall, and the cool wind of the early morning is mixed with the faint and inaudible sound of breathing, which feels far away, and feels very close, as if it is ringing in the ears.
The darkness on the earth faded, and the boy on the stone wall became visible. Who else can this be except the bastard boy Wu Di.
He seemed to have completed this meditation, his eyelids like the rolling shutters of an early morning shop, slowly lifted, and his black and white eyes began to contact the fresh morning air. The under-the-eye is a familiar picture.
A kind of sadness slowly obscured the bottom of the eyes, and everything became hazy, so unreal, as if in a dream.
Wu Di rubbed his eyes with both hands, and the confusion and sadness on his face just now were swept away, leaving only perseverance and perseverance that did not belong to his age.
"It's been a year, and I don't know if the elders in the clan are okay. A sentence that seemed to be talking to himself floated out of Wu Di's mouth.
"Silly apprentice, this time you quit cultivation so quickly. ”
"Genius master, your stupid apprentice is lucky to have consolidated the Soul Condensation Elementary, and he is about to prepare for the Soul Condensation Intermediate Level. ”
In the past year, the relationship between the master and apprentice has been much closer, and the old man who calls him "stupid apprentice" is actually very jealous of his talent against the sky, and Wu Di's "smart master" is even more sarcastic to him, and the two of them are even more reluctant to change their words after a long time.
"You come in!" the old soul man shouted.
Wu Di naturally knew that the master was going to give a higher level of guidance on the cultivation of his spiritual power. So I ran to the cave and found a place to sit cross-legged and prepare for the theory class.
"You're getting no bigger or smaller, are you going to sit down?"
"You said it earlier, why didn't you say it earlier, you said it earlier. ”
"Sit down, I feel the urge to strangle you right now. ”
The soul old man really had no way to deal with Wu Di. Wu Di's mouth was like a machine gun, which always made the soul old man speechless.
"Forget it, it's more troublesome to strangle you and find another apprentice, hey!"
"Smart master, let's talk about something quickly, I'm still waiting to cultivate. ”
"I see that your cultivation is hard enough, so you can rest for a day. ”
"That's it, a waste of feelings. After Wu Di finished speaking, he stood up and wanted to leave.
"Stupid apprentice, you are too impetuous, why are you in a hurry!"
"Let's just talk about it!"
"Okay, okay. Do you remember the flute that was shown to you at the beginning?"
"Just kidding, I've cultivated my spirit, why do I just want to get this flute?"
"Very good, you are already a primary level of soul condensation, and meditation has no effect on your cultivation, but it must not be wasted, it is still good for the improvement of your state of mind. ”
"Then how will I cultivate next?" Wu Di hurriedly asked.
"The key is here, let's tell you about me and this flute first!"
This time, Wu Di unexpectedly did not interrupt, but just listened quietly.
The soul old man paused for a moment, and then said: "In the past, I was just an ordinary cultivator who worked as a mercenary and also worked as an official errand, but only at the bottom, I was born in a very remote mountain village, to be honest, I am not sure if I was really born here, I have been there since I can remember, but I don't know who my parents are, and I have looked for them in the future, but unfortunately I have never found them." I was raised by an old mercenary, I asked the people in the village, they all said that he carried me here one night and never went out again, I asked the old mercenary that I was the person, and he always vaguely said that he picked it up during the mission, and I didn't care about it after a long time. When I was a teenager, the old mercenary fell ill and died, and I felt that I had no love for the village, so I left on my own. ”
The soul old man had entered a wonderful world, and seemed to have returned to the past, talking to himself as if no one was beside him.
"I first joined the army after I walked out, but then I was kicked out for offending officers, lived on the streets, and was taken in by a mercenary organization, which changed my life. A few years after I joined, we suddenly received a strange task, the price was extremely high, and we were all required to go out, and it happened that we happened to be very tight at that time, and the regimental commander agreed to come down without saying a word, and a few days later we followed them into a deep mountain, and soon after entering, we began to realize that something was wrong, because there were several powerful breaths here that we could not cope with at all, and we wanted to quit but the group was completely exposed, tied us all up, and walked for a few days to a place with a strong smell of blood, and we learned that they were raising powerful evil beasts here, and they wanted to be fed with blood containing historical qiMercenaries and soldiers are the heavier types of people, and we have coincidentally become victims. We were thrown into a cave, the regimental commander regretted that he had buried the lives of the whole regiment, and finally the regimental commander mobilized the strength of the whole regiment and decided to say anything to save me, the youngest in the regiment at that time, to avenge them in the future, my brothers bit off the ropes on my body with their teeth, and covered me to run out of a passage in the lair, as soon as I entered the corridor, there was a scream that resounded in the sky, and at that time I only knew how to run forward, and kept running. ”
At this time, the soul old man was already in tears, and he couldn't cry. Wu Di sat on the side and did not speak, sitting at home behind closed doors, and disaster came from heaven. He himself is not.
After a while, the old soul man's excited mood gradually calmed down, and then said: "I don't know how long I ran and appeared in a stone room, I turned around for a long time to know that this was an ancient tomb, but unfortunately it has been searched a long time ago, and there are still traces of their atrocities here, in the mess, I saw an old man sitting on the stone platform, and I thought of my offense and knelt on the bunk and kowtowed to him a few times. ”
Wu Di nodded thoughtfully, as if he had encountered this kind of thing somewhere, "Ya, isn't this the same as when I first came to this cave?" Wu Di underestimated in his heart.
"Yes, I used this method to probe you when you came. ”
Wu Di thought to himself, "Needless to say, I will definitely meet the old-timers in the future, practice magic skills, and be invincible in the world, too old-fashioned routine." ”
"But I'm not as lucky as you, I've kowtowed three times, but there is an extra box on the stone platform, and in the box lies this flute and a quaint scroll. The old man continued.
"What about the scroll?" Wu Di immediately noticed the key, "The soul old man must not have come to tell him a story today. ”
"Today I want to tell you that this flute was bought by the blood of me and my brothers, and you also bear the responsibility of avenging us. ”
"Aren't you invincible in the world? Why haven't you avenged your revenge yet?"
The soul old man scratched his head and said, "There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. ”
"Forget it, I can't beat others, blow a yarn, I can't push it on me, I can't take care of my family?"
"You little brat, what kind of family is the old and young? The master's order cannot be violated. ”
"It's not violable, you're like this, if I go to avenge you, I won't even have scum left. Otherwise, I will recruit disciples after I go out and crush them to death with the tactics of crowds. ”
"Forget it, since you are not determined that our master-apprentice relationship will end here. Saying that, with two hands, one hand flute, and one hand jade slip, he checked it.
Cunning, extremely cunning, Wu Di really wants to grab it now, but unfortunately he can't beat him.
Wu Di thought about it for a while, "Forget it, I took two things, whether to take revenge or not, the decision is up to me, if I can fight in the future, I will report it by the way, if I can't beat it, I won't play with my life." ”
Thinking of this, Wu Di really admired his wit, and opened his mouth to say, "Okay! It's a big deal to accompany you in the Netherworld." "This is Wu Di's good words, but I don't think so in my heart. He decided to lie to him first.
The old man nodded, "Now it's good." ”
Wu Di gave him a blank look and didn't say anything.
The old man seemed pleased and continued: "Today you must remember, nay, forever remember my enemies, they are ・・・・・・"
