Chapter Fifty-Six: Midnight
"I'm sorry ......"
Perhaps knowing that his limit was approaching, Xue Rong took Xue Yin's hand and stared at her seriously, as if it took a lot of effort to pull out a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"I'm sorry, the master may ...... I can't be with you all the time. I promised you that when I got to the next mountain range, I would let you find the first herb first, and I promised you that I would not leave you behind. These...... I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise......"
Xue Yin couldn't cry for a long time, clenched his hand and shook his head desperately: "You haven't lied to me since I was a child, you love me so much, I don't believe you will be willing to leave me alone." ”
"Ah, reluctantly. ”
Xue Rong muttered, he has always hidden his emotions very well and never revealed them. But at this moment, it seems that he knows that if he doesn't express it, he is afraid that he will never have a chance again, so he simply said it together.
"When I took you as an apprentice, it was all fate. As a teacher, I watched you grow from a little old to a slim and beautiful girl, and I was quite proud in my heart. Although I keep saying it, I hope you can find a wishful man. But if you really find it, maybe you can't be reluctant to become a teacher. ”
“...... Master. ”
Xue Yin knelt beside the bed, tears bursting into his eyes. Xue Rong reached out and rubbed her head, this action was a habitual favor since childhood.
"You said that you never regarded me as a father, but the teacher has always treated you as a daughter. Xiao Yin, the master may not be able to give you what you want, but the master wants to tell you that in this world, no one will love you more than me. If you meet someone who is willing to take his life to protect you in the future, it must be your true fate. ”
"I don't... I don't want ...... anyone" Xue Yin stubbornly refused: "I just want the master to stay by my side, I just want you alone." If you want to be my father, then be a father. If you want to marry a wife, you can marry it, and I will never be angry with you again. Don't leave me, please, don't leave me......"
Xue Rong didn't answer, his forehead pressed against Xue Yin's, closed his eyes and swallowed his last breath.
Xue Yin was able to be freed from suffering from the moment he met Xue Rong. Xue Rong accepted her as an apprentice and treated her like a woman, the master and apprentice have walked together for more than ten years, and the depth of their feelings is unimaginable to ordinary people. Xue Yin fell in love with her master, and originally planned to stay with her for the rest of her life, so her life can be said to revolve around Xue Rong. But now, Xue Rong is dead, and she has no faith in continuing to live at all.
So she wiped away her tears, packed her package, and prepared to find a place to bury Xue Rong, and then she went with him. But just as she was cleaning up, a medical book fell out of Xue Rong's clothes. It is not a coincidence, it is on the page of Zishu Fenghua, she once heard Xue Rong mention that there are no wonders in this world, and the holy medicine is a rare existence, which is difficult for ordinary people to find. If he is lucky enough to see him once in his lifetime, he will die without regrets.
After Xue Yin flipped through a few pages, she felt that this was God's intention to guide her in the direction. So he temporarily changed his mind and gave up the idea of suicide. bought a coffin, put Xue Rong's body in it, and then put in various medicinal materials to keep the body from rotting. After that, he bought a carriage and carried a coffin around looking for holy medicine.
The snow-capped mountains are remote, and they have gone beyond the borders of Daming. She stayed for two years and disappeared in the rivers and lakes. Later, I was also worried about safety, and the search was fruitless, so I had no choice but to give up Zishu Fenghua and return to Daming. After drawing a map by himself, and crossing out the mountains that Xue Rong had already been to before, he crossed the mountains one by one according to the distance to find the only hope left, which was the Moon Spirit Bailu.
Finally, I finally came to Jile Mountain and found the long-dreamed elixir. Helplessly, the moon spirit white dew had not bloomed yet, so she simply stayed on the top of the mountain. In the early years, when she traveled with her master, she made some friends, one of whom was a master of Qiankun Bagua Qimen Dunjia Technique, and she was fortunate to learn a trick or two.
In this way, in order to prevent others from trespassing, a maze was set up nearby. However, the sun is scorching on the top of the mountain, so it is not suitable to place the corpse. She dragged the coffin to the cave in the back mountain and went to change the herbs regularly every day. That's five years. Fortunately, she has patience, she grows flowers and plants every day, is busy with herbs, and occasionally goes to the cave to talk to Xue Rong's corpse. So repeatedly, never bored. Until the appearance of Mu Yan and Shen Yan......
"I'm sorry ......"
Shen Yan's sudden apology made Xue Yin speechless for a while. After recovering from his senses, he looked at him with a neurotic expression and said, "What's the matter with you?
Shen Yan actually didn't know why he was saying sorry, but his mouth was like that, even if he blurted it out, he couldn't help it. He could only look at Xue Yin stupidly, with an innocent look.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Xue Yin coughed his throat, and changed the topic: "I'll just say that you're boring, look at me." I've been a beggar, I've been a thief, I've been a doctor. studied medicine, crossed the rivers and lakes, and almost married into a wealthy family. Most of the places you've been to have my footprints. You may not have been to the places I have been. The reason why I've been able to live here alone for so long is because I have a purpose. I must wait until the moon spirit white dew blooms and save my master. What about you? Do you have any goals?"
Shen Yan looked at her fixedly, and said solemnly: "The first goal of my life is to snatch the wood from the third brother's hands. It turned out that it was impossible to do it, and I didn't think it was reliable, so I gave up. Until now, I finally have a second goal!"
Xue Yin was a little furious by him, and frowned: "What are you always staring at me?" I have told you, the moon spirit white dew does not bloom, and if my master does not wake up for a day, I will never leave this mountain." ”
Shen Yan also frowned: "You are sick, do you know that you have to be cured?" Your master has been dead for several years, and he can't be saved, so don't be obsessed anymore." ”
The two didn't know if they were born to be angry, and they started arguing again without a few warm words. Xue Yin was poked in the sore spot, stood up all of a sudden, pointed at Shen Yan's nose and said indignantly: "It's not your turn to save the life that can't be saved! You will get out of me tomorrow, I don't want to see you again!"
Shen Yan also stood up, and choked without showing weakness: "If the master doesn't leave, the master will fight with you to the end!" I tell you, don't let me find that moon spirit white dew, if you find me, you will fold it for you, see how it blooms!"
"You-"
Shen Yan stuck out his tongue and jumped off the roof. Xue Yin glanced at the height, and said angrily: "You, why did you go down by yourself? What should I do?"
