Facing Master's provocation, the god rarely spoke. The heavy rain was still falling. In this sunless place, I looked at Master's profile. In my heart, for the first time in so many years, I felt that a beam of sunshine was shining on me. Come in.
I couldn't lie on the ground all the time. The rain ran down the wet bangs on my forehead, blurring my vision and making my face wet. I wiped away the rain and traces of tears on my face, and used my arms to He supported himself and stood up.
As if we had never been separated, I looked at Master, and Master looked at me.
"Sanwa'er, come here." Master looked at me and grinned, but his eyes were looking up and down at Lin Xiaohua.
"Yeah." I also smiled, walked over simply, and stood behind the master.
Wearing a gray robe, with messy hair and beard sticking out, a very familiar back, and an inexplicable sense of peace of mind, I stood honestly behind the master with my hands behind my back, and the smile on my face seemed to never fade away.
From now on, even if the sky falls, what does it matter? It's not that I have to rely on Master. After so many years, I have long forgotten my dependence. All I remember is the warmth of being able to rely on me. From now on, when the sky falls, there will be no big empty space in my heart.
"Well, Hui Gen'er." I turned my head, and Uncle Hui, whom I hadn't seen for many years, had already walked in front of me. Like Master, I hadn't seen him for many years. Except that he was a little older and his back was a little hunched, he still didn't look that big. He smiled despite the changes, and he still looked like his master, a wretched one, but the longing and concern in his eyes were real.
"Hui Gen'er is in the village outside. He misses you very much." Sometimes the longing that is too strong is expressed lightly, because we have already discovered that saying too much cannot explain it. It is better not to say it, and those who understand will naturally understand.
As soon as these words were finished, Master Ling Qing's ear was grabbed by Grandma Ling Qing's ear. She was probably being scolded for staring at the eldest girl as soon as she came out.
Master shouted exaggeratedly, and I laughed.
We have long been accustomed to his master not being like master, so Uncle Hui and I chose to ignore it.
"Sanwa'er, why don't you say hello to me?" Uncle Hui seemed a little dissatisfied.
Without saying a word, I walked over and hugged Uncle Hui hard. His body was full of a smell, the smell of dust. I didn’t understand how they woke up suddenly, but I But they knew that they had been trapped under this altar for at least two years.
The smell of dust must have come from this.
"Why are you hugging me? No, I'm not close to women, let alone men. Sanwa'er, you've ruined your education." Uncle Hui shouted exaggeratedly, as if he wanted to push me away, but instead He patted me hard on the back, then pushed me away, turned around, looked at the sky, and quickly wiped his face with his hand.
I have dark lines on my face, almost male-looking? After all these years, this old man is still so unreliable.
"The old monk cried by himself. I'm sorry, but he started to bully others. Sanwa'er, don't worry about him." One of the master's ears was red, but his eyes did not dare to fall on Lin Xiaohua anymore. He spoke. He was still commenting on Uncle Hui in a sarcastic tone. He wanted to look at me, but seemed a little embarrassed to look at me.
After so many years, it seems that only by deliberately maintaining a familiarity can the sadness not collapse at this moment.
Sure enough, Uncle Hui's reaction was also very exaggerated. He jumped up and shouted to challenge the master. Likewise, the master was not to be outdone, and the two of them looked like they were about to fight again.
Grandma Ling Qing and I sighed at the same time. No one else appeared behind the black door. This made me a little worried. Where are the uncles? And what about Xiao Chengqian’s elders who followed Master
"That's enough, don't pretend to be crazy on my territory. Here comes the master, and then the apprentice. It's impossible for us to be friendly. What should we do? Let's draw a line?" Perhaps, our indifferent behavior , finally angered the god, and he spoke.
The joy of meeting Master again made me almost forget the existence of this God. Only then did I suddenly realize that we are really in a troublesome situation, and whether we can get out is a huge problem.
Thinking of this, my brows wrinkled unconsciously, and my mind habitually began to think about countermeasures. But the next moment, my brows relaxed again. Master is here, so I have nothing to worry about.
"Haha, you also know that you can't be kind?" The moment I relaxed my brows, Master, who was still making trouble with Uncle Hui one moment, became serious the next moment, and he walked towards me step by step. He walked forward with his hands behind his back, taking every step very steadily and calmly.
Facing his words, Shen snorted coldly and said nothing more.
I feel a little strange. According to this God's temperament, he has always been arrogant and cannot even tolerate the slightest disobedience from others. How could he tolerate Master's attitude again and again
Wouldn't it be better to just do it? He did the same to Grandma Ling Qing.
"How many lives have your altar taken away? All the people in the village outside have been turned into monsters by you... How many sinful deeds have your hands been stained by?" Master stood about three meters away from me. The place stopped and every word fell loudly.
"Master, now there is another town that is also in such a situation. If he hadn't stopped it, I'm afraid something would have spread." I couldn't help but add, I thought the master might have set off directly from the Holy Village. I didn't know that there was another town whose situation was also extremely bleak. At the same time, I pointed at Lin Jianguo, who looked a little dazed in the corner.
"Is there another town?" The master frowned, looked at Lin Jianguo, sighed, and nodded as a greeting. He and Lin Jianguo were already acquaintances, so this greeting was not too abrupt.
Facing the master's greeting, Lin Jianguo's eyes still fell on the god, and he still repeatedly rubbed the wooden sign in his hand, feeling a little dazed and almost ignoring the master.
The master didn't care, and continued to turn around and said to God: "What grudges do you and I have? It's just that God doesn't allow you, so it will naturally accept you. I happened to shoulder this responsibility, because the apprentice has come to pay back what the master left behind. It’s perfectly normal. Just like my apprentice finally found this place.”
"The law of the jungle is the law of the jungle. Is it because the sheep are pitiful that wolves are not allowed to eat meat? The law of heaven cannot tolerate me? How can you, old man, be so patient?" God showed great patience today and even discussed Tao with his master.
"In the human world, there is also the law of the jungle. I have always thought that this is the way of nature. But this kind of law of the jungle is covered with the glory of civilization, kindness, and justice. Do you understand? It is a kind of competition for survival and evolution, and It’s not your arrogant words about wolves eating meat! Do you think that covering what you do with the excuse of the weak and the strong can cover up its bloody and violent predatory nature? Life is a power given to all things by heaven, and it is not something you can take away. It’s just a joke, and you’ve never forgotten that the sheep in your eyes are people in our eyes.” Facing God’s words, Master answered extremely seriously, just like when he was a child, he liked to explain the essence of everything to me clearly.
Looking at Master's straight spine standing in front of me, I couldn't help but straighten my spine a little.
"Haha, wonderful! You and I are not on the same level. What do you think of people? What does it have to do with me? In my eyes, ants are just ants. Even if your master is Li Yiguang, you can do whatever you want for him. , you are just an ant." An impatient look finally appeared on God's face, but there was a bit of temptation in his eyes.
"Hey... I had no intention of being nice to you, let alone trying to convince you. Like me, you are just delaying the time to take action. I still need to adapt, thanks to my good disciple. , your situation is not good, isn't it?" The master changed the topic. In fact, the confrontation started from the beginning.
"You also know? Don't forget, the inner village has your life card, and half of you are in the inner village. If you hadn't left today, I wouldn't bother to argue with you this time. The green mountains will not change, and the green water will always flow. Let’s talk about the rest later.” God also changed the subject, very strangely, as if he was very magnanimous.
Could it be that a destined battle was resolved like this? I had an unreal feeling.
In addition, at this moment, I finally understood why Lin Chen told me that half of the master in the inner village was a life card? But what is a life card?
"Hahaha..." Master suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled, with a look that was a bit like Master's free and unrestrained manner. After laughing, Master suddenly turned to me, Uncle Hui, and Grandma Ling Qing and winked. Eyes, he said: "This guy is really not from this world, because he doesn't seem to know a word."
"That's what it means - beating up a drowned dog!"
