Chapter 5 Tianlan's fate
There was another long silence.
In the end, Su Changan broke this silence,
"Why? Are you sick?"
"Nope. Yu Heng shook his head and said, "When people are old, they will naturally die." ”
His voice was small, not as full of breath as it had just been outside the courtyard gate. Su Changan was in a trance, and there was a feeling that the two voices didn't seem to be made by the same person.
"Will the star die of old age?" Su Changan frowned, he had always thought that the star would not die, at least not of old age.
"Everyone dies. Isn't your master also dead?" the corners of Yu Heng's mouth pulled out an arc, as if he was smiling.
"Master, he's different, he's not dead of old age, he's" Su Changan suddenly stopped his voice, he was hesitating whether to tell Yuheng the truth. Although the old man made him feel familiar, they had only known each other for less than a quarter of an hour.
Yu Heng grinned, this time Su Changan was sure that he was indeed smiling, but he was too old to even smile and not look good. Yu Heng said: "He really didn't die of old age, he died to save the child of Wutong." ”
Su Changan's pupils dilated suddenly, and the secrets he hid in the deepest part of his heart were slowly revealed in Yu Heng's bland narration. He looked at Yu Heng in a daze, trying to see something from the old man's face. But Yuheng's face was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, as if what he had just said was just an insignificant matter.
Su Changan became nervous, his palms began to sweat, and he even secretly planned how to escape from this academy quickly, but what Yu Heng said later dispelled his thoughts.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen that child in Wutong for more than ten years, and I miss it very much. Yuheng said.
Yu Heng said very seriously, and Su Changan couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a while. He said with some hesitation: "Don't you hate Shiniang?"
"Why should I hate her?" Yu Heng raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Changan with interest.
"She killed your brother. Su Changan frowned, he felt that Yuheng's attitude was very wrong. Although Shaoguang is his ancestor, he has never seen him and does not know him. And Wutong is his sister and treats him very well. Naturally, he wouldn't hate his master for someone he hadn't seen before. But Yuheng is different, he is the senior brother of Shizu, Shiniang killed her junior brother, how can he look insignificant.
Although such an idea seems to be a bit hypocritical, Su Changan just feels that it is wrong.
"She also killed your ancestor. Yu Heng said, he said lightly, even with a little bit of joke.
The dissatisfaction in Su Changan's heart was even worse, his voice was a little louder, and he said, "This is different. I don't know Shizu, and Shizu is very good to me. But the ancestor is your junior brother, you shouldn't be like this. ”
"Then you mean, I should have tied you up to threaten that kid in Sycamore. Bring her in, and then kill her, to avenge my junior brother?"
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he muttered to himself in a light voice: "It stands to reason that it should be like this."
Yu Heng smiled dumbly, shook his head, and said, "Wutong, that kid Gu Ning is weird, how could he teach you such a fool." ”
Su Changan was speechless.
"Wutong is the apprentice of shaking light, although Wutong has been a star for a hundred years, but in terms of cultivation, she is not as good as shaking light. Shake Light must know her identity, but he still takes Sycamore under his door. I think he was prepared for this, but I don't know why. Speaking of this, Yu Heng paused, and then said: "Moreover, Shaoguang said a word to me before he died. ”
"What words?" asked Su Changan, realizing that this sentence might be the key to Yu Heng's attitude.
"Wutong will always be a disciple of Tianlan. Yu Heng said. Although he still had a lazy tone, Su Changan keenly noticed that when he said this, the sleepiness in the corners of Yu Heng's eyes suddenly faded, and suddenly emitted a cold light, like a lion waking up. But soon, he put away this momentum again, and returned to his uncaring appearance.
"But why is that? After all, it was the master who harmed him. Su Changan asked his own question.
"How do I know this, I just need to do what he says. Yu Heng yawned, and the sleepiness in his eyes became stronger, as if he would fall asleep at any time, "It's useless to bring up the old past, why don't you tell me why you are about to die?"
Su Changan hesitated, he felt that Yu Heng seemed to be very sleepy, and the problem of divine blood was not in a hurry at this time, so he thought about it before saying: "But I see that you are very sleepy, why don't you rest for a while, I will do it again"
Before Su Chang'an's words were finished, he was interrupted by Yu Heng shaking his head, "People are old, they can't sleep casually, and they can't tell when they will never wake up again." ”
"But it's a long story. Su Changan still didn't feel good, and let an old man stay asleep and listen to him tell a story, he finally felt a little unhappy in his heart.
"Then you'll make a long story short. Yu Heng said disapprehantly.
To make a long story short, Su Changan tilted his head and thought about it. Then, he looked at Yu Heng and said, "I have the blood of the true god in my body!"
Yu Heng suddenly became silent, he looked directly at Su Changan, and the look on his face became cloudy.
Su Changan was a little uncomfortable, and he wondered if he had said something wrong.
Finally, Yu Heng spoke, his voice becoming a little bitter, as if it had been squeezed out of his throat. "What's going on?"
"It's on the master's knife. ”
"On the knife?"
Su Changan rolled his eyes, and finally told Yuheng what had happened. Shi Niang asked him to find Yu Heng for help, naturally he trusted Yu Heng, so Su Changan didn't hide anything anymore.
After listening to Su Changan's narration, Yu Heng was silent for a long time. In the end, he sighed and said to Su Changan: "Come here, let me see." ”
Su Changan stepped forward as he said, and Yuheng stretched out his hand and touched Su Changan's left arm.
A warm current poured into his body from Su Changan's left arm, and Su Changan knew that Yuheng was probing the situation in his body.
After about a quarter of an hour, Yu Heng withdrew his hand.
"The divine blood in your body seems to have consumed a lot of strength in the Cloud Ridge that time, and now it has fallen into silence, and you have the protection of the inheritance star spirit of Listening to Rain and Sycamore, so it should be fine for a short time. Yu Heng's brows furrowed together, and the furrows on his face were squeezed together. "But, sooner or later, he will wake up again. ”
"Is there a way for Uncle Ancestor to do that," Su Changan asked eagerly.
"Nope. Yu Heng shook his head and interrupted Su Changan's next question.
The color in Su Changan's eyes dimmed, he lowered his head, and asked in a somewhat dull voice, "Then how long can I live?"
"I don't know. Maybe a year, maybe a month, maybe a day. Yu Heng's voice also became a little dull. "Once the true God is restored, the consequences are unimaginable. Speaking of this, he looked at Su Changan, and the look in his eyes became complicated.
"So Uncle Shi wants to kill me right now to prevent future troubles?" Su Changan seemed to understand what Yu Heng meant, and his body began to tremble.
Death is too heavy a word for Su Changan, or for any boy who is only sixteen years old.
Yu Heng shook his head again, he sighed: "I'm too old, so old that many people I know have died, so I can't bear to see anyone die anymore, what I want to tell you is that not many people know about the matter of divine blood, but there are still some people who know after all." And some of these people either want to use you, or they want to kill you. Therefore, if the matter of divine blood is not a last resort, do not tell anyone else. ”
Su Changan was stunned, he was a little puzzled. "But what if the true God is really resurrected in me?"
Yu Heng rolled his eyes, it wasn't too good to look at someone of his age, and it was even a little weird. He said, "What does that have to do with me, I would have died long ago by then." All I have to do is that if I live for one day, I will let you live for one day. I'm dead, you don't die, that's your business. ”
Yu Heng's words didn't quite like it, but Su Changan felt that it made sense.
"By the way, do you want to learn swords?"
"En?" Su Changan couldn't keep up with Yuheng's jumping chat, he reacted after a while, and said, "The master left me a knife." ”
The meaning is obvious, he is going to learn the knife.
"It's not a contradiction, knives and swords can be learned together. Yu Heng didn't seem to understand Su Changan's words, and continued.
"But I'm too stupid, I haven't learned a trick taught by my master for two years. Su Changan said again.
"There is no harm in diligence to make up for it. Yu Heng yawned very exaggeratedly and said, "This matter is settled, you step down, the old man wants to rest for a while." As he spoke, without even giving Su Changan any chance to react, he closed his eyes and let out a small snoring sound.
Su Changan never imagined that this Lord Yuheng, who has been famous for a hundred years, would have such a scoundrel side.
He whispered goodbye and exited the room.
But what Su Changan didn't know was that the moment he exited the door, Yu Heng's closed eyes suddenly opened. The sleepiness in the corners of his eyes faded, and then helplessness and grief emerged.
He sighed in a voice that only he could hear: "Tianlan is in the same vein, and he can't escape his fate after all." ”
