Chapter 44: Three Palms Determine Life and Death
The hunchbacked old man said to my master hatefully: "Unless I let me see you die with my own eyes, otherwise, I will never let you go for the rest of my life, old man, and I will not let you go as a ghost!" β
Hearing this, I felt a burst of indignation in my heart, and said in my heart, what a big breath, I want people to die when I come up, why! Although I don't know the details of the conflict between the master and the hunchbacked old man, with the master's character, he will definitely not kill his son for no reason!
After all, Master is a monk, and he usually doesn't even hurt an ant, so how can he deliberately kill someone?
I was expecting Master to refute him, but Master sighed and said, "Since that's the case, let's ask the seniors to do it." I just hope that after my predecessors beat me to death, I will eliminate the resentment in my heart from now on, and don't embarrass others again. β
As soon as I heard Master say this, I was taken aback and exclaimed, "Master, why are you following him so much, you ......?"
Before I finished speaking, I saw the master wave his hand at me and said, "Don't talk again, for the sake of the teacher." β
I had no choice but to shut up, but I was very nervous in my heart, why did Master send him to death? With Master's cultivation, can't he still beat him?
The hunchbacked old man looked at me coldly, snorted, and said, "Good! For your sake, the old man also let one step along. More than 30 years ago, you received three slaps from me and did not die, so today, the old man slapped you three more times. If you can resist it, the old man will naturally not say anything, turn around and leave, and never ask about the world again. If you can't resist and are killed by me, then I can only wish you a bad life, how about it? β
"Ahh But after all, he is an old man who has been famous for nearly half a century, and his cultivation has been so high that it is impossible to speculate. I think even Li Mantou, who claims to be the No. 1 master in Europe, may not be his opponent. If the master were to receive three slaps from him out of thin air and not be able to fight back, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Unexpectedly, when the master heard this, he actually nodded and said, "Great! Yay! According to what the predecessors said, three palms determine life and death! How about these juniors testify to us? β
"Good!" The hunchbacked old man Huo Ran stood up, and in an instant, his short and stiff figure suddenly became a little erect, and even made people feel like a mountain was standing up. The momentum was like a rainbow, and he walked towards the master step by step.
"Then you will die!"
"Wait!"
The hunchbacked old man made a palm, but he listened to the master stop him. The hunchbacked old man's eyes were sharp, and he asked, "What, do you regret it?" β
The master shook his head and said, "No, it's just that the juniors have a few words to say." β
The hunchbacked old man slowly lowered his hand, snorted coldly, and said, "Okay, you are a dying person, let you leave a few last words." β
I was so nervous in my heart, could it be that Master was going to explain what was going on? But I heard the master say slowly: "The junior has two requests to the seniors, the first is to ask the seniors not to embarrass my little apprentice and his friends after the seniors beat me to death. β
The hunchbacked old man glanced at us with cold eyes, snorted in his nose, and said, "Okay, it's just a few dolls, the old man doesn't want to kill more." β
When Master heard this, a smile appeared on his face. But then he changed and said solemnly: "The second request, I just ask my predecessors to go after today, no matter what the result is, please don't fall deeper and deeper into the demon path." The Demon Spirit Sect acts against the sky, and it will not last long. The predecessor was a patriotic warrior admired by everyone back then, and he was powerful in the world, and he was in small town clothes, but now he wants to succumb to others and become a pawn of the Demon Spirit Sect, which really damages the reputation of the predecessor, and I hope that the predecessor will think carefully! β
When the hunchbacked old man heard this, he laughed instead of being angry: "Old man, what do I do, it's not your turn to teach you a lesson." There are no eternal friends or enemies in the world, only eternal interests. The old man has been used to being alone in his life, and he can't see the hypocritical faces of you hypocrites and hypocrisy. Old man, I and the stupid children of the Demon Spirit Sect are just using each other. Okay, is the finished? β
The master said: "The poor monk still has a word to say to the apprentice. β
When the hunchbacked old man heard this, he endured his temperament and waved his hand impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up, the old man has limited time, I can't wait!" β
Master got up from the futon and walked up to me. I hurriedly grabbed his hand tightly and said anxiously, "Master, why did you promise him, can't we beat him?" It's a big deal to kill it, I'm afraid he won't succeed! β
Master looked at me lovingly, smiled slightly, touched my head, and said, "After all, you are still young, and there are many things that you will not understand. If you can't survive today, don't forget to keep the way in your heart, and don't avenge me. There is no end to retribution, so why not let it disappear like this. In this way, you will not have to worry about endless problems. You will understand these words one day in the future. β
When I saw that Master had already seen death as home, I couldn't give up in my heart, and I grabbed his hand and just wept. The master smiled and said, "Foolish disciple, since I am a member of the Esoteric Sect, why do you still behave like a child?" If something happens to you, you will inherit the mantle of being a teacher and bury me at the foot of this Buddha statue. β
When I heard this, I couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears. Dagang and Kaka were behind me, one finger pinching my shoulder, chatting comfortingly. The master pulled out his hand, put his palms together, and said to the three people behind him: "I am a foolish disciple, and I ask the three donors to take care of me in the future, so hard!" β
After the master said this, he resolutely turned his head and said to the hunchbacked old man: "Master Li, please, three palms will determine life and death!" β
Seeing that my mentor was about to die, I could only watch and do nothing. It was then that I realized how important it is for a spiritual practitioner to be strong. If I were strong enough, would this happen? Can a hunchbacked old man be so aggressive. How dare Li Mantou and others show off their might in front of me!
At that time, I said to myself in my heart that only when I become stronger, can I firmly grasp my destiny in my own hands, rather than leaving it to others to decide.
When the hunchbacked old man saw that the master was ready, a hideous smile appeared on his face. He slowly raised his palm, and we only felt that the aura around us changed instantly, and a fierce and majestic aura spread from him, and that feeling was like Mount Tai pressing on the top, forcing people to breathe.
The hunchbacked old man's palms are as dry as dry branches, but they contain unparalleled internal strength. He was short and stiff, reaching only to the Master's chest. But the momentum that spreads from him makes people feel that he is unusually tall.
The hunchbacked old man shouted violently, like a thunderbolt in our ears. I only felt a flower in front of me, I didn't see any movement from him, I just heard a muffled sound of "pop", and my aura felt an extremely powerful and disordered air flow disturbance, and the two of them were already separated.
The hunchbacked old man was still standing on the ground, while the master had fallen into the corner of the wall, his expression wilting. I was taken aback and hurried over to hold him up.
"Master, how are you......"
The master smiled miserably, his face was as white as paper, but he shook his hand with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's okay, there's no need to worry." β
As he spoke, he pushed me away, walked up to the hunchbacked old man, folded his hands, and said, "Amitabha, there are still two palms!" β
The hunchbacked old man's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, nodded and said: "You have made a lot of progress compared to back then, but unfortunately, the old man has been preparing for more than thirty years, and he will never give you a chance again!" Second palm! Look at the moves! β
The hunchback shouted violently, and his palm was like electricity. The second palm was like a poisonous dragon coming out of the hole, and it slapped at the master with a snort. Master raised his hand lightly and took the palm hard. Hearing only a crisp sound of "click", the master spat blood from his mouth and fell into the corner again. The left hand drooped limply, bent in an eerie posture.
"Master! Don't fight anymore......" I cried as I rushed to Master. Master's blood-stained shirt was stained, his left arm was broken, and his face was flushed and white. I hurriedly pressed my palm on his back and injected a wave of Buddha power to suppress the chaotic true qi that was rampaging in his body.
Master's face recovered slightly, and he forced out a smile and said, "It's okay for the master, help me up." β
We had no choice but to help Master up, and we saw him hanging his arms and his steps floating. He staggered over to the hunchbacked old man and said, "The last palm, please...... Teaching......"
The hunchbacked old man's face became very strange, he seemed a little hesitant, and he seemed a little unbearable. But soon, these emotions quickly disappeared in the face of hatred, and turned extremely vicious. He nodded with a cold face and said, "Not bad, not bad!" Back then, there were almost no people who could stand with two palms in the old man's hands. Thirty years ago, you were beaten by my second slap and couldn't stand up, but now you can stand in front of the old man and me, which really makes the old man and me admire. However, I will not show mercy to the old man. The third palm! Go to hell! β
With a snort, he slapped the master's chest like lightning. The master wanted to take out his right hand to take it hard, but he didn't want to be unable to lift it in one breath, and the palm was firmly slapped on the master's chest. The master vomited blood again, a large pit sank into his chest, and he fell to the ground, only a few convulsions, and then remained motionless.
"Masterβ" I only felt that it was dark in front of me, but fortunately Dagang behind me dragged me and didn't fall to the ground.
Kaka and 2 Ruizi immediately ran forward, and 2 Ruizi checked it, and with tears in her eyes, she said to us, "It's out of gasβ"
With a bang, I only felt like a muffled thunder exploded in my head, I only felt that my mind was blank, and all the sounds of time seemed to be far away from me. I only felt that the figures in front of me were shaking, the heavens and the earth were spinning, and Da Gang shook my shoulders vigorously, as if he was shouting something to me.
It took me a long time to come to my senses and accept the cruel truth. Only a line of tears remained, but he was powerless to cry.
At this time, I saw that the hunchbacked old man still didn't believe it, and came to the master in person, probed his nose, checked his pulse, and confirmed that there was really no trace of anger, and then he stood up, and his face was full of the joy of revenge. He laughed and shouted, "Revenge!" This time it's really revenge! Son, Daddy has avenged you! You are in the Heavenly Spirit, can you feel it? Hahaha-woo-woo-"
The hunchbacked old man laughed and laughed, and suddenly burst into tears, and looked at him like that, as if he was even sadder than I was. When I saw him like this, I couldn't help but sneer: "Now that you are satisfied, you have done everything you want to do in your life, what right do you have to cry?" β
When the hunchbacked old man heard this, he suddenly stopped crying and looked at me. The expression on his face was chilling......
