On the walls around the cellar, there are dense layers of candle flames, starting from waist-length and continuing to the height of the entire wall, which is fully accumulated to one-third of the height of the entire wall.

"You're here?"

Although he kept his back to Bai Sheng, as soon as Bai Sheng came in, he was aware of it.

There were no previous mood swings in the voice, calm like a pool of stagnant water, calm like the tranquility before the eruption of a volcano.

Bai Sheng slowly raised his head, looking at the hazy and unreal back with a complicated expression, a trace of apology flashed on his unrecognizable face, and suddenly, he fell to his knees and said, "I'm sorry Master, I disappointed you." ”

The man on the altar is Bai Sheng's master, Bai Sheng only knows that his name is Wenren Huayu, when Bai Sheng was very young, he was tragically destroyed by his family, fortunately Wenren Huayu rescued him, he was able to escape from death, according to Wenren Huayu later confessed to himself, he was the brother of Bai Sheng's father, because he strayed into the enemy's trap, it was too late to rescue, resulting in Bai Sheng's family being slaughtered, for this, he also blamed himself.

When Bai Sheng first saw Wenren Huayu, he was covered in blood, with dozens of wounds large and small, and he was carrying a bloodstained long knife in his hand, as if he had just come out of hell.

Combined with what Wenren Huayu said, Bai Sheng later guessed that he must have been blocked by those despicable and shameless people at that time.

"You did disappoint me. ”

On the altar, Wenren Huayu did not turn around, he was staring intently at the top of the candle flame on the cellar wall, and said lightly: "However, you don't have to say sorry to me, because the person you are really sorry for is not me." ”

Following his gaze, he saw that at the top of the wall, there was a majestic giant sword, the sword body was as smooth as jade, the sword body was as cold as autumn frost, the sword spike was waving in the wind, and the whole giant sword was carved and painted at a forty-five degree angle.

After a pause, Wenren Huayu's eyes gradually became sharper, mixed with fanaticism, he deliberately accentuated his tone, and scolded angrily: "What you are really sorry for is your parents under Jiuquan." ”

Bai Sheng stiffened, and then his expression became painful, he grabbed a handful of his hair, a large handful of hair was dragged into his hands, his hands were white and abrupt at the joints due to excessive force, but he did not feel any pain.

"One day, I will avenge them. ”

Staring at the long hair in his hand with blood-red eyes, he said word by word: "I will definitely avenge them." ”

"Revenge?"

Hearing this, Huayu suddenly laughed and said, "After so many years, you can't even accept this appearance yourself, what kind of revenge are you talking about, what kind of revenge are you talking about?"

"Master, I'm ......"

Bai Sheng was speechless for a moment, yes, what can he take revenge on? What qualifications do he have?

Wenren Huayu raised his hand slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Remember, don't pay too much attention to external things, everyone's appearance is just a skin, and even, a person can have many skins, but so what? A hundred years later, it's just a pile of dry bones, who can be an exception?"

Bai Sheng lowered his head slightly, bowed to him, and said, "Disciple, remember the master's teachings. ”

Hearing this, Wenren Huayu suddenly shook his hand, and an object shot out of his sleeve and flew towards Bai Sheng, and when it got close, Bai Sheng grabbed it in his hand, only to find that this thing was actually a bronze mask.

Wenren Huayu saw Bai Sheng take the bronze mask and said, "In the future, you will wear it, but you have to remember that since God let you live, you should not let your parents die in vain." ”

Bai Sheng slowly put the bronze mask on his face, and said categorically: "Master rest assured, the disciple swears that he will not avenge this revenge and swear not to be a man." ”

"Good!"

Wenren Huayu's tone finally calmed down, he waved his hand, signaling that Bai Sheng could leave, he didn't turn around the whole time, and even his eyes never left the sword on the wall, as if the sword had a fatal temptation for him.

"Master......"

Bai Sheng wanted to speak and stopped.

Wenren Huayu frowned and said, "Do you have anything else?"

Bai Sheng asked tentatively: "The disciple still has something unclear, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"

"What's the matter?"

It's still Gujing's voice, and it's still an understatement.

Bai Sheng sorted out his thoughts and said, "Disciple wants to ask, I don't know if the sword on the wall has any special meaning, why does Master always like to stare at it all these years?"

In Bai Sheng's memory, Master's favorite thing to see was the sword painted on the cellar wall, and sometimes he could even face it for days and nights without sleeping.

But he had never seen the master use this sword, which made Bai Sheng very curious, what kind of sword could have such magical power, which could make the proud and light master so fascinated? Or did this sword have any special value to the master?

Hearing this, Wenren Huayu inadvertently revealed a violent mood swing, and for a long time, he didn't speak.

The silence always seems to be long, and the atmosphere of dead silence always makes the heartstrings tense.

He didn't speak, and Bai Sheng didn't dare to speak, and he was even a little cautious, because he knew very well that his master's character had always belonged to the kind of unpredictable and moody, so although he was curious, he never dared to ask.

Finally, I mustered up the courage to ask today, but I didn't expect that the blessings are unparalleled, and the disasters are not one-way.

In Bai Sheng's opinion, the reason why the master was silent must be because what he said caused him unhappiness and made him angry.

Although over the years, he has made Master angry a lot, and Master has not punished him less, but, in Bai Sheng's mind, although Master is unpredictable from time to time, and even sometimes, Master will fight him for some things, but, in the final analysis, Master is still for his good, and Master has also taught him a lot of things over the years.

After being silent for a long time, Hua Yu sighed and said, "It's not just special, it's unforgettable! Do you know why the teacher painted it on the wall?"

Bai Sheng shook his head and said, "The disciple doesn't know. ”

Seeing that the master was not angry, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Because only by painting it on the wall, can you remind the teacher all the time, there is still a wish to be fulfilled, because your parents will be harmed because of it, and if you can't see you avenge them in your lifetime, you will regret it for life. ”

Although Wenren Huayu's tone was very flat, Bai Sheng could feel that his heart was not undisturbed.

"My parents were killed because of it?"

Bai Sheng was stunned, why had Master never mentioned this matter to him before?

Wenren Huayu nodded, and said: "Yes, the teacher knows that you have doubts, but for the reason, you don't have to ask, if the teacher doesn't tell you, there is naturally a reason why I don't say it, you just need to remember one thing, if you meet the owner of this sword in the future, you will be killed." ”

Bai Sheng carefully observed the sword from left to right, and after making sure that it was engraved in his mind, he said, "Disciple remembers." ”
