Volume 1 Journey to the Mountains 21 Master and apprentice will never see each other again
Zhuang You didn't expect that this wait would be five days.
If you ask Zhuang You how he feels, he just wants to say, I'm so hungry!
He doesn't have a storage magic weapon like the Golden Arches Ji Xiaoyao, so he can only bring things with him, and he can only bring some dry food for food, and he has to save food.
If it weren't for the fact that he could control his diet after practicing, Zhuang You would definitely not be able to, and as for Li Si, he wouldn't need to eat at all.
However, Li Si told Zhuang You what they were waiting for.
"The prisoner is now in the inner city, and he wants to take the criminals away. ”
Zhuang You was stunned for a while before he knew that the prisoner referred to the uncle, this name, no wonder the uncle was reluctant to tell me his name.
However, there are so many sinners in the city, how can he take them away, although Zhuang You doesn't know, he understands that many sinners are ordinary people, and it is basically impossible for a group of ordinary people to be taken away from Bishan.
Unless, Zhuang You thought of something, pursed his mouth, and didn't think about it anymore.
In any case, he hopes that the uncle will succeed.
And in the inner city, it has become a hell on earth, with stumps and broken legs everywhere, flesh and blood, and the black-armored soldiers huddled tightly together, panting, looking at the man in front of him with a cape, and in his hand, the slender sword was full of blood, falling drop by drop, smashing to the ground, and the soft voice made people tremble uncontrollably.
However, the black-armored soldiers scattered in two rows, and a burly, serious-faced white-haired old man walked in, looking at the corpses everywhere, his eyes showed pain, and said in a depressed voice: "Prisoner, you shouldn't come back. ”
The prisoner with his hair scattered and his crazy face calmed down, looked at the old man in front of him, showed an indescribable expression, and said with a wry smile: "I'm still back, master." ”
The white-haired old man is the current city lord of the outer and inner cities, and at the same time, he is also the master of the prisoners.
"Master, do you regret accepting me as an apprentice?"
The old man looked at the prisoner and shook his head unexpectedly, "I will never regret what I do, in my life, there is only one apprentice like you, and you, I am very satisfied." ”
The prisoner didn't expect the master to answer like this, he was silent for a while, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times respectfully, and the old man accepted it calmly.
Standing up, the prisoner looked at the people in front of him, and said: "The system of continuous sitting has been since the Great Zhou, but it was abolished halfway, since the establishment of the Great Qin, the system of continuous sitting has been implemented again, and the criminals of Bishan have never come out for more than a hundred years, today, I want to take them away." ”
"Teacher, don't stop me, a lot of people have died, don't you also like the continuous sitting system?"
The old man shook his head, "I'm already old, and most of my body has been buried in the loess, so I don't have the energy to discuss the quality of the system anymore." As a soldier of Great Qin, I only know how to obey orders, and only His Majesty's holy decree and the dean's order can order me. ”
"Master, you know I don't have either. ”
The master and apprentice looked at each other, and the old man said slowly: "Then, before I die, no one can violate the Great Qin Cultivation Law." ”
The prisoner clenched the hilt of his sword, his eyes were indifferent, and since that was the case, so be it.
The old man looked at the soldiers beside him and said, "You go out and report the situation to the dean." "The implication is that you are not qualified to participate in the battle that will be held, and the corpses all over the ground silently prove it.
And the prisoner has already expected this situation, the master is a person who loves soldiers like a son, he didn't want to do it with himself before, and he killed so many people to do it, and the master couldn't help it.
I'm sorry, master, I'll repay the favor in the next life.
The scene fell silent suddenly, and the old man drew his sword, which was very slender and long, like an apprentice.
In the next moment, the two of them slammed into each other fiercely, and the slender sword sparked with a sharp sound, and the only feeling was that it was fast! incomparably fast.
If Li Mu's sword is fierce and not afraid of death, then the sword of these two people is as fast as lightning.
The battle was almost as hot as it began, and as far as the naked eye could see, only two blurred figures swept through the air, and as soon as they separated, they immediately collided, as if countless people were colliding, because they were too fast, they couldn't tell the difference between reality and fiction.
The battle soon began and ended, and the two men stood in their original places, as if nothing had happened.
The old man looked at the only disciple with a smile and said, "You have already surpassed me, very good, but you are not ruthless enough, once you are not ruthless enough, the speed will slow down......"
The prisoner listened attentively, and everything was as if it had been many years ago, when the prisoner was a fierce teenager, and was imprisoned for stealing and being a criminal, until an old man led him out and taught him to use the sword.
"What's your name?"
The fierce boy glared at the old man like a wounded little beast.
The old man looked at him with a smile, and a guard next to him stepped forward and said respectfully: "Tell the city lord, this kid is called a prisoner, his parents are dead, he is a sinner, he steals chickens and dogs all day long, and he is very disobedient to discipline." ”
The old man didn't care whether the young man wanted to or not, he touched his messy hair, and said something that he would remember for the rest of his life: "What sinners do not sin the people, he is now my apprentice." ”
The prisoner was released, he was still a criminal, but every day, when he wanted to steal, the old man would always show up on time, disrupt his actions, and then take him to dinner, and the young man did not refuse, gritted his teeth and ate.
Once or twice, it was okay, every time it was like this, the prisoner couldn't stand it anymore, and when the old man led him to eat, he shouted, "What the hell are you going to do?"
"I will take you as a disciple. ”
The prisoner was silent for a long time and swallowed his meal.
"I am a sinner. ”
"So what?"
"Why?"
"Because you're talented. ”
Indeed, the prisoner was a very gifted cultivator, and many people in the city knew about it, and gradually stopped treating him as a sinner, because he was the apprentice of the city lord.
Until that day, he escaped from the mountain.
No one knew that the old man's eyes were full of smiles that day.
......
The old man looked at the prisoner with relief, and the blood from the corner of his mouth couldn't stop flowing.
The prisoner hesitated for a moment, and the old man said solemnly: "I am the general of Your Majesty's Qin's order, as long as I am not dead, no ghost and sinners can go out, so"
The old man laughed, very gently, like a proud elder watching the younger generation become talented,
"Little prisoner, kill me, otherwise it will be difficult for me to deal with Your Majesty and the dean. ”
Such gentle words, but there is one of the most painful things in the world - cannibalism between master and apprentice.
The prisoner's tears could not be stopped any longer, and the middle-aged man of the eldest cried like a child, and he walked forward, his hand raised, and his sword fell.
Holding the old man, the prisoner found that his left sideburns had been cut in half.
It turned out that it was the master who showed mercy to his subordinates.
Just like when he escaped from Bishan many years ago, without a master, could he have escaped, and the Heavenly Council has not moved?
That's why the old man said, "You shouldn't have come back." ”
Because no one can show mercy to your men anymore.
Ji Xiaoyao, who was standing in the distance, looked at the prisoner who was crying bitterly, her eyes were blurred with tears, and the hatred for some people in her heart became more and more inflated.
Li Si said to Zhuang You: "Let's go." ”
"Where to go?"
"Leave the mountain. ”
"Uncle succeeded?"
Li Si nodded, after these few days, he was no longer a yin ghost, but an old man with gray hair and a vicissitudes of life.
Zhuang You thinks it's amazing, it should have something to do with that half of the body.
After walking for a long time, the two came to a huge bronze door, and just as they arrived, two figures walked in the distance.
It was Uncle and Ji Xiaoyao.
Zhuang You was very excited, rushed to the uncle, and shouted, "Uncle, hey, little demon?"
Ji Xiaoyao hugged her hands and "hummed", shook her head and didn't look at Zhuang You, Zhuang You touched her head and didn't know what to say.
The prisoner seemed to be a lot older, and said with a smile: "The little demon has helped me a lot." I can't take anyone away from her little world without her. ”
Zhuang You looked at Ji Xiaoyao, the girl raised her chin arrogantly, and her little nose was cocked high.
Zhuang You walked into Ji Xiaoyao with a smile, rubbed his hands and thought about how to apologize, and said a basket of "sorry" and "sorry", until his stomach "growled", Ji Xiaoyao laughed, Zhuang You touched his stomach, with a bitter face, he was really hungry.
Ji Xiaoyao took out a large amount of food, and the young man stared at the glowing eyes and thanked him for a while, and then munched on it, so happy that he couldn't help it.
The prisoner walked towards Li Si and looked at his body that was no longer a ghost, and felt a lot more relaxed.
"You're recovering?"
"It's less than half. ”
"Can you deal with it?"
"Not enough. ”
The two of them looked at Zhuang You, who was eating with a mouth full of oil, and the girl who was laughing at him next to him.
The prisoner said guiltily, "We took advantage of them. ”
Li Si looked at the prisoner's aging face and the lack of sideburns, and asked casually, "Is he dead?"
The prisoner was stunned, lowered his head, and sighed for a long time: "I will go to hell." ”
"Oh, the Buddha's saying. Since they will go to hell, they must do things well, otherwise they will lose all their achievements, and besides, they will not die. ”
It's just that the uncle sighed, he has been sighing for the rest of his life recently.
When the young man finished eating, the prisoner and Li Si came over, and Zhuang You burped and smiled embarrassedly.
The four people looked at the bronze giant gate, and the prisoner said, "Zhuang You, it's very dangerous behind the door. ”
"I know. ”
"You can go, you don't have to be with us, and the little demon, you are normal cultivators who come in, and there will be no danger if you don't come with us. ”
After listening to this, Zhuang You thought seriously for a while, shook his head, and said,
"Uncle, you are a good person. ”
The prisoner was stunned, he didn't expect the young man to pop out such a sentence, thinking of the blood all over the city and the old figure, and said with a wry smile: "That's it, why?"
"Because you are going to get those people out. ”
The prisoner shook his head, those so-called sinners were insensitive, living every day, and the reason why they wanted to save them was because his parents had always thought so, and he was fulfilling his parents' last wishes.
For this, he paid a price that he would regret for the rest of his life.
And Ji Xiaoyao said, "Xiao Zhuangzi said so, I won't run away, besides, people are still in my small world." ”
Patting Zhuang You on the shoulder, the prisoner smiled.
The four of them then stepped into the bronze gate, and after a brief period of darkness, the light returned.
Although tens of millions of people have gone to me.
