Chapter 9: The Time of Parting
Su Liusha was silent, and after a long time, he spoke: "Yunhe, I'm leaving." ā
"Master, where are you going?" Hearing that Master's word "go" was very unusual, Xu Yunhe asked a little anxiously.
"Where to go, I don't know. It's just that I've always wandered the world, and I've never been anywhere for more than half a year, but I just met you, and it can be regarded as the master-apprentice fate between you and me. Now that you've grown up, I was worried about your body before, but now that you've recovered, I can leave with confidence. Su Liusha's tone was light, but he was still sad and reluctant.
Xu Yunhe knew that the master had always said the same, and he didn't plan to make the master change his mind, but just begged, "Master, can't you leave in two days?"
"Tomorrow, they will come up, I don't want to see them. Walk is walking, even if you stay for two more days, you will still walk in the end, what good is it to stay for two more days? It's just to add to your troubles! You are my apprentice, don't be such a mother-in-law!" Su Liusha finished speaking, and was about to leave, walking past Xu Yunhe's side, and about to walk down the mountain road when he took a step.
Xu Yunhe's words made Xu Yunhe silent, and after getting along for more than ten years, he knew his master too well. He doesn't talk much on weekdays, but every word he says is like a mountain of words, and it will never change.
More importantly, he can clearly feel that his master, he is not happy, not happy at all.
He had never seen his master really laugh, and he knew that his master's cultivation was very high, higher than anyone he had ever seen, although he always said that he was a cripple. But he was still unhappy, very unhappy. He didn't know where the master came from, he didn't know who he learned his martial arts from, and he didn't know why he stayed on this mountain for more than ten years for the sake of a child he didn't know. He only knew that in the depths of Master's heart, there must have been some memories that made him very painful and painful. There is still a master to confide in his own pain, but the master will never share his pain with himself.
If a disciple has suffering, he can tell the master. The master is suffering, but he can't tell the disciple. This is Master's logic. Xu Yunhe understood, so after the retention failed, he didn't say anything, just sent his master down the mountain with his head down.
Master's pain, I can't do it now, so I can only wait for my martial arts to be completed, and then go and help Master! The only thing I can do now is to accompany Master to complete this road.
The two of them kept their heads shut and didn't speak, and soon walked to the foot of the mountain, stepping down the last stone step, Su Liusha stopped, turned around and looked at Xu Yunhe, who had been lowering his head: "Okay, let's go here." ā
"Master......" Xu Yunhe raised his head to look at Master's eyes, and suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour.
"There's nothing sad about it, you're already fifteen years old, and if you change to an ordinary family, you may be a father at this age!" Su Liusha made a joke, but neither of them laughed.
"Master, I have been studying martial arts with you for more than ten years, but I still don't know which school we are, and I don't even know what I practice. Before you leave, can you tell me about this, don't let me be so confused?" Seeing that the master was about to leave, Xu Yunhe suddenly remembered another question and hurriedly asked.
"Sects? there used to be, and now they ...... There is no sect anymore......" Su Liusha smiled bitterly, and then said, "As for martial arts, the one you practiced was created by me, and it didn't have a name. If it sounds good to your ears, call it 'Regency.' The name is just a code name, it doesn't matter at all. If you don't think it sounds good, you can just come up with a name. ā
Xu Yunhe had no problem anymore, Su Liusha took a step forward, took a step but took it back, and said in a tone that he didn't know what kind of: "Yunhe, after you go back, take me to your mother with a stick of incense." ā
"My mother?" Xu Yunhe was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly, "Master, do you know my mother?"
Xu Yunhe had never seen his mother, and when he was three months old, he was sent home by a mysterious person. The man put himself down and left, just saying that his mother Xu Jinyao was seriously injured and died, and he left in a fluttering manner. And this qiÄ was talked about by several elders after Xu Yunhe remembered. After that, Xu Yunhe became a wasted person, and he was ignored everywhere, and no one cared about him at all, and this was the first time he had heard someone mention his mother. And this person is also the closest master he has been with for more than ten years, how can Xu Yunhe not be surprised?
"Hmm......" Su Liusha replied in a low voice, but didn't say much, as if he didn't want to talk about this topic.
"Master, can you sue me, who killed my mother? I know that my strength is low now, I will not be reckless, I will not send me to death until I have enough strength!" Xu Yunhe's voice was a little excited, he couldn't help but be excited, he had never felt his mother's love but was even more longing, the mother who didn't even know what she looked like often appeared in Xu Yunhe's dreams. That was the only warmth he had in the past ten years other than Master.
It's just that Xu Yunhe didn't get the answer he hoped for, Su Liusha shook his head gently: "It's not that I'm hiding it from you, that person's strength is too strong, so strong that you can't imagine it." Now that you know that it is harmful and useless, I will never sue you until your strength is reached. ā
"Then what kind of strength does it take for Master to sue me?"
"At least as strong as your enemy, so that I can tell you the truth. But until then, you don't want to get any information about your mother from me. Su Liusha's tone was unmovable.
"What kind of realm is that? Martial King or Martial Emperor? Master, you always have to tell me about his strength, so that I can have a goal to work towards!"
"I can only sue you that the strength of that person is far beyond your imagination. As for what kind of realm he is, even if I sue you, you can't imagine how strong he is. After speaking, looking at Xu Yunhe's expression was very frustrated, Su Liusha added, "When you surpass the level of Emperor Wu, you can come to me." ā
"Beyond Emperor Wu?" Xu Yunhe was immediately very frustrated, the strongest person he had ever seen was only the fourth rank of the Martial Sect, it was said that the patriarch of the Xu clan was the second rank of the Martial King, and as for the Martial Emperor, he had not heard of anyone who had reached it. As for the Martial Emperor above, Xu Yunhe didn't even think that he could reach that level.
"Don't be discouraged, what's the big deal with Emperor Wu? Your mother was only sixteen years old back then, and she was already a seventh rank of the Martial Sect. The last time I saw her, she was already a cultivator of the Martial Emperor's Fourth Rank. If she had lived until now, she would have already surpassed the level of Emperor Wu. You are her son, and the fire spirit body has also been restored, don't you even have this confidence?And do you think that Emperor Wu is the ultimate in martial arts? Hmph, it's far away, it's far away......" Su Liusha unceremoniously reprimanded the dejected Xu Yunhe, just like the reprimand Xu Yunhe had made a mistake in the previous ten years.
"Okay, I'll work hard! I'll become Emperor Wu, and then I'll avenge my mother!" A familiar reprimand reminded Xu Yunhe of the old scene again, and a sense of pride stirred up in his heart, and his two fists clenched tightly.
"Not to become, but to transcend. Su Liusha corrected, "That person's realm is far beyond your imagination, and Emperor Wu can only be the bottom line for me to tell you the truth." And if you want to take revenge, you must surpass Emperor Wu, surpass the rules and regulations of this world, break all the shackles, and be the strongest, so that it is possible to defeat that person. If you think that it is enough for you to reach Emperor Wu, then you will not be able to take revenge in this life. ā
"How strong is he, is he even stronger than you, Master?" asked Xu Yunhe a little unconvinced.
"IāI'm just a cripple, how can I compare with him? If I had been, I might have been a fine line worse than him. But now, I don't have the qualifications to fight him at all. Su Liusha smiled bitterly, and the turquoise porcelain bottle held in the palm of his hand came with a cool touch, and the gloom on his face instantly turned into perseverance.
"So strong?" The burning courage in Xu Yunhe's heart weakened again, but after a moment he clenched his fists again, "Okay, since he is so strong, let me become stronger than him!"
"But Master......" Xu Yunhe's expression changed very frequently today, "Even if I meet your standards in the future, where should I go to find you?"
"You don't have to worry about this, when you really reach that level, you can naturally find me. Su Liusha shook his head, did not answer Xu Yunhe's question clearly, turned around and continued to walk out, "The world is far bigger than you can imagine. Even I don't know where I'm going, so how can I tell you? Don't worry, when you get to that level, even if you don't go to me, I'll come back to you. ā
"The world is so big, where can you not be accommodated? Yunhe, you must not rely on your talent in the future to become complacent, you must know that there are people outside the sky, wait for you to do this, go to all parts of the world to walk! Just stay in this small place, you will never achieve anything!" Su Liusha walked quickly, and after a few words, there was only a small black dot left in the distance, and only the ethereal and desolate voice came from afar.
"The world is out of my generation, and as soon as I enter the rivers and lakes,
In the talk and laughter of the emperor's hegemony, it is better than a drunk in life.
.............................................
Dust is like a tide, people are like water, only sigh a few people back in the rivers and lakes!"
Looking at Su Liusha's distant back, Xu Yunhe suddenly found that the way his master walked was really similar to the old man. The two of them really have some origins that Xu Yunhe doesn't know.
"Master, take care! In the future, when I meet your requirements, I will definitely go to you!" Xu Yunhe watched with tears in his eyes as Su Liusha's figure gradually disappeared, knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully three times, standing alone at the foot of the mountain, letting the damp night wind wet his clothes, but he didn't move a single inch for a long time.
