Chapter 52: A Sudden Awakening
After the New Year, Liu Chongjin combined the information he had handled and collected, and sorted out a list of information about the people he had harmed.
Call Twilight and Zhan Lu to talk in detail.
"There are several types of people who are mainly harmed by demons."
Liu Chongjin spread out the list of people he had compiled and showed it to Zhan Lu and Qiandu, and while watching, he explained.
"The first type is men, and there are two main types of men, one is unkind, who has betrayed a woman, or killed his lover.
The other type is people who are lazy and idle. Most of the families in the second group have an older sister who died for them. ”
"The second type is couples, and the couples that can be found have a common characteristic, that is, they have abandoned their children."
"The third type is women, most of these people are relatively young, there are no older women, and this situation has no similarities except age."
Liu Chongjin shared the results he had collected for more than a month with the two.
After listening, Zhan Lu clearly found his position.
Both she and Liu Chongjin's wife belong to the third category of people.
"The third possibility is because of vendetta or jealousy, this kind is irregular, we can only start with the first two."
"Immortal Master Liu, has the sect recently received commissions from the first two types of people who have been frequently killed or disappeared?"
The sect received commissions about demons, and all of them were accepted by Autumn Peak.
The disciples of the entire peak are taking on the task, and they are not the only ones who are taking it.
Therefore, the entrustment received by other disciples may not be clear to them, and only after the matter is resolved, if they want to understand, they can ask the senior brother who handled it, or go through the summary file themselves, and then they can know the details.
But for now, it seems that it is a little late to know the details later.
It is best to entrust similar events, and they will accept them in person, so as to better judge whether it is a demon.
Liu Chongjin shook his head, "There hasn't been a similar commission in the sect recently. ”
"However, this is just the beginning of the year, and there may be some commissions that have not been sent in time, and it is like this at the beginning of every year, and it will take a few days for new commissions to come in."
"Since I have a direction, I won't be in a hurry, I'll tell the other disciples first, there is a similar commission, let them not take it over first, and I will transfer it to you at that time."
"Immortal Master Liu bothered."
Zhan Lu stood up and saluted.
Liu Chongjin waved his hand, "What bothering is not bothering, I am also for myself." ”
"I just want to end the grudge with the demon earlier."
"Qi Nuo is bent on avenging her mother, and she has been following you, and I have to trouble you to help take care of it."
"She was ...... by me when she was a child Injured, the soul is unstable, and the soul has been raised for nearly a hundred years, so the cultivation is late, and it is not easy to break through in cultivation. ”
Speaking of this, he was like a fish in his throat, and he regretted it very much, because he was impulsive at the beginning, which left Liu Qinuo with sequelae.
He tried many ways and tried many ways, but he couldn't make up for this mistake.
"I don't let her know about the demons, and I don't want her to get involved, because I'm afraid that the demons will retaliate on her again."
"I just didn't expect that this kid is quite stubborn." Liu Chongjin was a little helpless.
But he couldn't stop Liu Qinuo anymore, his wife's death was the deepest pain in his heart, and it was the same for Liu Qinuo.
If she didn't let Liu Qinuo do something, she wouldn't be able to find a way to make up for it, and in that case, the pain in Liu Qinuo's heart would not be healed at all.
He knew what it was like to be tormented.
As Liu Qinuo's father, he doesn't want his daughter to suffer like this for the rest of her life.
He hopes that Liu Qinuo can let go of the past after the revenge is avenged, and live the rest of his life without psychological burden.
"Immortal Master Liu, your daughter is very good, let her do it, she may not be able to do it well, please Immortal Master Liu, please relax."
Zhan Lu felt that Liu Qinuo was actually very good.
She had seen Liu Qinuo's hard cultivation, and she was using hard work to make up for the lack of soul power.
It is a natural thing for a father to let his daughter do what she wants to do, but also worry about her daughter's safety.
Zhan Lu still decided to give Liu Chongjin a reassurance.
"But don't worry, we'll try to protect her when she's with us."
When she said us, Zhanlu turned her head to look at Twilight, who looked at her and nodded in agreement.
Liu Chongjin was very pleased that Liu Qinuo could meet a friend like Zhan Lu.
The two got up to say goodbye, and Qiandui said, "As soon as the troublesome master has a commission, please notify us as soon as possible." ”
"Immortal Master Liu, you can let Mao Zheng run errands, she is young, she runs fast, run more, and be good to him."
Zhan Lu added with a smile.
Liu Chongjin was puzzled, "Mao exactly?" ”
He has been in retreat for many years, and when he goes out of the customs, he only pays attention to the event files related to demons, and he hasn't cared about other things in the sect for a long time, and suddenly he can't keep up.
Twilight explained, "I picked up a kid back then, and he had good bones, so he stayed behind to practice with me. ”
Liu Chongjin was a little stunned, "Oh, that's it." ”
Then he reacted slowly, "So, I am also a person with a master and grandson?" ”
It seems that he is really old, and the children have grown up.
There are disciples in vain.
So it's been so long!
He suddenly had an idea of how long these two hundred years were, and he had lived a messy life before, and he was bent on revenge.
It's been a long, long time since he's stopped to care about the things around him.
After that, he thought, it would be better to combine work and rest, and care about his daughter and these children.
Over the years, not only did he not care about Liu Qinuo, but he even ignored these apprentices.
He was really ashamed of a lot of people.
After Twilight and Zhanlu leave.
Liu Chongjin went to see his wife alone, and after all these years, he didn't have an enemy, so he didn't dare to come.
He gazed affectionately at the person in the coffin, her cheeks had long since lost their blood, and now they were cold and pale.
There was a layer of white frost attached to his face, and even the originally ruddy lips were only cold and hard pale.
It's been years since I've seen her.
Liu Chongjin muttered, "I've come to see you." ”
He squeezed out a forced smile, "You're still that beautiful." ”
And his appearance is no longer young and handsome.
"I'm sorry, it's my incompetence, not only did I not protect you back then, but after so many years, I haven't been able to avenge you."
He spoke slowly, with a mixture of guilt and sadness.
"I was going to come with you earlier."
"But I suddenly changed my mind."
After a pause, he slowly explained:
"It's not that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, I just suddenly woke up, I still have a nostalgia and responsibility for this world."
"After all these years, I suddenly realized my dereliction of duty today."
"I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a father, nor did I fulfill my responsibilities as a teacher."
"I want to stay and make up for those kids."
He originally planned to wait for revenge to reunite with his wife and go to Huangquan together.
However, Liu Qinuo found him, and for the first time, the father and daughter talked heart-to-heart.
He was ashamed of Qi Nuo and never dared to face it, however, Qi Nuo never blamed him for hurting himself.
What his daughter wants is nothing more than his love as a father.
Liu Chongjin sat next to the ice coffin, "You know what? O our daughter, all she asks for is simple care and affection. ”
"I just want to live well with my incompetent father."
"However, in all these years, I have never given her any of this."
He smiled bitterly with some guilt, "You are gone, I have to stay as a father and make up for her double love, if we all leave, leaving only that child in the world, it would be too cruel to her." ”
In the past, he didn't know what Liu Qinuo thought, and he even felt that Liu Qinuo would hate him, and at that time he could choose to leave without any burden.
Not now, and when he thought that the child had not felt love since his mother died, he felt that he owed the child too much.
He had to make up for the two hundred years of missing love.
"And my group of apprentices, I have cared so little about them over the years, and I am not even a competent master."
"The last apprentice I accepted, I didn't even take much care of him, and today I found out that he has accepted all the apprentices."
"I realized how quickly time passes, but the last two hundred years seem like nothing has changed to me."
He has always imprisoned himself in hatred, his heart is full of hatred, and other things can't come in, so he can't perceive the changes in the outside world, and for him, it is immutable.
Liu Chongjin strengthened his determination, "I decided to cheer up, be a good father, and be a good master." ”
"So you wait for me, I'll come to you later."
He can't go to Huangquan to accompany his lover for the time being, so he can only wait for a hundred years later, when the time comes, to accompany his lover.
After saying these words, Liu Chongjin sat silently for a long, long, long, long time.
Although they are separated by life and death, they can also accompany each other in this way.
By the time it was getting late, he had reached the limit of his resistance to the freezing cold.
Only then did he get up and say goodbye, "Wan'er, I will leave first today, and in the future, I will often come to accompany you." ”
