"Ruxue, can't you come out from here again? Will you stay in this forest forever?" I tried to make my tone calmer, but even a fool could hear me His voice was trembling uncontrollably.
I don’t quite understand Master’s message, especially when it involves time and space. After all, it is too far away from my world and my understanding. Even what kind of opportunity did Master use to enter the tomb and when did he enter the tomb? (After all, the weakness of this Dragon Tomb Formation only appears once every few hundred years). Since some traces were destroyed, I don’t know much about it. But I clearly see one thing, that is, even if Ruxue enters the tomb with the blessing of his master, there is still some danger, and the Dragon Tomb Formation will be stable in the days to come, and that may not happen for hundreds of years. Will happen again.
Even if it happens again, can I wait hundreds of years
Therefore, I could no longer restrain myself from asking this question, what is the difference between separation by life and death
Ruxue looked at me, with a trace of sadness in her eyes. Then she closed her eyes, as if she had remembered something. After being silent for a long time, she suddenly said to me: "Chengyi, maybe I can come out to see you, and maybe you can, too." If you still have the chance to come in and see me, it all depends on fate."
"Are you comforting me?" When I said this, my fists were clenched so tightly that my nails hurt the flesh of my palms.
"No, Chengyi, you know I will hide things from you, but I won't lie." Ruxue's eyes were serious.
Or, what does Ruxue know? But I also know Ruxue, even if she knows something, she is not 100% sure about it, she is not willing to say it, so she just told me to let it go, then let it go.
Life is like this, how can it be everything that people want, but I want to be clear in my heart, and I can't stay with her as I want, but I loved her without any guilt.
After taking a deep breath, I finished reading the two messages full of questions from my master. The rest of my master's familiar handwriting, which was arrogant and wanton but full of strength and weight.
Just after reading the first sentence, I started to feel sad.
In this way, I remembered that year, when Master insisted on leaving for three years. When I returned to the courtyard in Beijing, I saw a letter left by Master.
I still keep that letter solemnly and do not dare to carry it with me, just because the letter paper has turned yellow and has been read many times. The creases have become very fragile. I am afraid that one day, this letter will be broken. No more, I don’t even have a single thought about it.
But the first sentence of the message engraved on the stone wall is exactly the same as that left letter.
He actually called Chengyi directly!
Chengyi:
After saying goodbye to the deserted village, two years passed by. Unexpectedly, I got the master's information here, and also got your information.
The master left a message, predicting that future generations will encounter a disaster here, and asked him and me to work together to avert disaster for future generations. I don't have to think that this disaster will probably happen to you, so this can be considered as getting your information, right
It’s really not easy to worry about, boy life, why did I accept a kid like you as my apprentice
Seeing this, I smiled, as if I could see Master standing in front of me, gesticulating, taunting me, blowing his beard and staring at me with disgust, but when I was in trouble, he still did not look back... .
It's a pity that Master has passed away long ago. Not to mention two years ago, I have spent 5 years in missing and incomprehension, so only I understand how sad this smile is.
Seeing this, Brother Chengxin suddenly spoke: "Chengyi, I finally understand a little bit. It turns out that this 'influence' of my uncle actually came from 7 years ago? At that time, he hadn't left yet, right? ?”
"Yes, at that time, he didn't say that he would go away for three years. He didn't tell me what he wanted to do specifically. After he came back, he didn't mention it at all. It turned out that he had been to Dragon Tomb at that time! Relying on Master Liu's I took an opportunity to come here before the Dragon Tomb Formation was decided or opened." I expressed my judgment. If this is the case, everything will be connected normally.
Brother Chengxin pondered for a while and said without saying anything, "Keep reading."
I nodded and continued reading.
Chengyi, although you are a careless boy, after all, I still care about you, just as I know that I will definitely leave you and let you grow up and face everything in this world by yourself.
I think when you found this message, I had already left, right? I dare not imagine how I feel about leaving you, just like I have never decided how I should leave you.
But I just hope that you remember that no matter what kind of lifestyle you choose, Master will support you. I just hope that you will not step on Master's old path and don't come looking for me. Having too deep obsessions in your heart is not necessarily a good thing.
I believe you can read this message. Just like when I saw Master’s message, I knew that this disaster should befall you. In this case, there is no reason why you can’t see it. I don’t believe it anymore. Master and I took action to fight back. If I can't save you, you are lucky. The protection left by Master should be on your body.
What should I say? I found that I didn’t feel any parting, and I didn’t have much to say, because I would be able to see you again in another year, and now it doesn’t count as parting.
However, thinking of one thing, I felt a little uneasy in my heart. If the disaster is your fault, then why are you here? Could it be that you have also embarked on my old path and started to follow the footsteps of the previous generation
That's all, that's all, Chengyi, actually I want you to live quietly, do you understand? Boy!
This message is actually just for me to tell you that you and I are like father and son. Putting aside inheritance, I also treat you like a son. Therefore, in my heart, do you represent me, Lao Li? The inheritance of the pulse is no longer important. What is important is how I want my son to live a troubled life. I am afraid I just want my son to live a quiet and happy life, right
I'm old, and when you grow up, I'm not sure whether you will still be as obedient as you were when you were a child. I will do my best in human affairs and accept destiny. Everything should be arranged according to fate.
I've emptied the futon in this quiet room. Brat, don't tell me you don't understand. What do you mean
That’s all. By the way, Huijue said, if you can see it, then help him bring a message to Hui Gen’er. He also thinks cakes are more delicious than eggs, but he is a poor ‘bald donkey’ and doesn’t have much money. A lot of money is spent on cakes. Many times, after buying a cake, they want to grab Hui Gener's.
Behind Master's message, there was a row of crooked and poorly engraved words, which read, sneaked back, and specifically stated that my original words were about the poor monk, but my nephew was not If you know how to respect the old and love the young, you will know that he will write about a poor and bald donkey. I have finished what I want to say.
After all, Brother Chengxin had never lived with Master. He was sweating coldly. He looked at me in disbelief and said, "Who wrote the words at the end? Master Hui? Master and Master Hui, isn't this too nonsense?" "
I looked at the wall with a somewhat distracted look, and said with a smile: "You have never really lived with them. In fact, this is what they are like. This is the Master I have always missed, and Uncle Hui and the others. Can you see that Master is helpless to me? He is against me going to him. As he said, he wants me to live quietly, but he feels that he cannot stop it. In order to try to avoid this happening. , so, at the moment of parting, he chose such a nonsense method, and now I want to cry when I hear the song Sister, you go forward boldly, but he still cares about me, fearing that no matter what he does, he will I couldn’t stop it, so he should have left something for me in the hollowed-out futon.”
"You really understand Master Uncle." Brother Chengxin said with a sigh.
"Don't you know my second uncle?" I asked back.
Brother Chengxin's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he was a little dazed. After a long time, he said: "How is it possible? Then old man, if there are still a few people in the world who understand him, I will definitely be the one." One of them. I miss him so much."
The atmosphere became a little sad, and I instinctively put my hand on the message, stroking the handwriting back and forth, and said: "Actually, I know Uncle Hui very well. His nonsense is actually just expressing that I miss Hui Gen'er. Uncle Hui didn't have much money. He was very greedy for Hui Gen'er's cake, but even if he didn't have money, he bought it for Hui Gen'er to eat. Hui Gen'er ate it alone. But what Uncle Hui didn't know was that after he left, Hui Gen'er stopped eating the cake. ”
"Chengyi, haven't your questions from back then been answered in this message? Uncle Master left like this because he didn't want to leave any clues to you, and he didn't want you to embark on this old road. I would rather you I hate him and don't want you to live a life of wandering, so do you still want to find him?" Brother Chengxin said quietly.
"There is no way not to look for it. Even if I know the answer, I still want to say that I have disappeared, my whereabouts are unknown, and my safety is unknown. What reason is there for my son not to look for it? Besides, that disc..." I didn't say anything. After going down, I was stunned. I kept thinking of Master’s gesture at the lake. I repeated it over and over again. It was definitely not a coincidence!
"Yes, you think the same as me." Brother Chengxin also answered.
At this point, the mystery has been roughly solved, and a timeline has been compiled, which is that in the early years, before accepting disciples, the master once came to the Dragon Tomb, took away the dragon soul, and solved a little bit about time and the world in his heart. Space puzzle! Many years later, I revisited my old place for the sake of the four demon spirits. Of course, I came here for other reasons, but the master’s words were unclear. We can only guess that he left a thought for Ruxue, an opportunity, and blessing. us.
Many years later, Master left me for three years after the First World War in the deserted village. During those three years, one of the stops was the Dragon Tomb. That year, the Dragon Tomb did not show its signs because of the unstable formation. Master relied on Master. An opportunity left by my ancestors in my early years, I entered the Dragon Tomb and saw the words left on it. According to the method taught by my ancestors, I sealed a spell and cooperated with my ancestors to resolve my crisis.
The fog has now dissipated, but of course it is only a superficial layer. There are many unsolved mysteries in the middle, such as what is the opportunity and protection left by the master? Why do this? Shelter is easy to explain, but what is the opportunity? Why do you want your descendants to enter the Dragon Tomb again? And what opportunity did Master get? What hint did he get here
Unfortunately, we cannot unravel all this now. We can only take step by step in the years to come and slowly get closer to the truth.
Master, forgive me, this time, I will not listen to your words. Regardless of the fate of Lao Li's lineage or the pain, I will never look back.
