Xiao Ting wanted to ask him a lot of questions, so she ran forward and was about to approach the lotus platform.
However, a flame rose up and blocked her outside, unable to pass through at all.
It was a red flame, and the aura it emitted was not hot, but cold, so cold that it made people's bones tremble.
A wall of fire surrounded the lotus platform, and she couldn't get close to it.
Xiao Ting has seen the master do it, but it is very easy, and there is no flame of color above the level that symbolizes it.
Red, I didn't expect it to be red. According to what the old man told her, it was the color of a spiritualist level that had never appeared in this time and space.
"Master, let me go, I have a lot to ask you."
"Since you've come here, it means you already have a choice."
The man whispered, as if stating a fact.
Xiao Ting was in a hurry and turned around the lotus platform, only to find that the red flame lingered for a long time. As long as she took a step forward, she would be frozen to death.
It was a fear from the heart, she didn't dare to move forward at all, and she didn't dare to gamble, if she was really the master of the previous life, would she be let go
Won't.
Because she already felt that what the master said was true.
"Master, what are you talking about? Xiao Xiao doesn't understand." She was very anxious.
There are many things she wants to figure out, and the reappearance of the master confirmed her previous thoughts.
This time and space is definitely related to the previous life, otherwise the master would not appear in front of her again and again.
She wanted to ask him, did she have a mission to come here? She also wanted to ask him, where did he go
She wanted to ask him even more about Chu Li, how could she help him, save him
"You let him go and you saved him."
Still plain words.
"Yes master, Xiao Xiao won't lie. It is impossible for Xiao Xiao to watch him die. Even if he is not a normal human being, I don't want him to die."
Xiao Ting became more and more impatient, the master already knew everything, it was impossible, but she did not lie to him.
"Why?" The man was still standing there, with one hand in front of his body and the other behind his back.
There is no peerless elegance, nor an intimidating aura, but standing there, he becomes the only one in the whole world.
"Are you in love with him?" Her unhurried tone was still so calm.
Xiao Ting was taken aback for a moment, then hesitated for a moment, then nodded fiercely.
"Yes, master."
She didn't deny it.
"Alas..." A soft sigh came out, the man sat down cross-legged, and said: "You really don't care about what the teacher said back then."
"Master, Xiao Xiao didn't do it on purpose. Xiao Xiao remembers everything the master said. Ever since he came to this time and space, Xiao Xiao has never dared to have close friendships with others. He is afraid that one day he will break the rules of the Taoist sect."
Xiao Ting's voice was low, but she explained sincerely.
"But master, Chu Li is really pitiful. I just wanted to help him. I didn't think so much at the beginning. Besides, I have come to this time and space. I just want to live happily. I really didn't have any feelings for her at the beginning, but he treated me too well."
"My teacher once said, if you are truly moved..." The man sighed softly, but did not finish his sentence.
Then he shook his head lightly and said, "Forget it, you can't hide from what should come."
"Master, why can't you tell the pattern truthfully? You know that Tuai's brain is not very effective, so you have to play tricks."
Seeing him talking, Xiao Ting became unfathomable again, and it was the first time she took this matter to heart.
"The teacher told you the result clearly, but you didn't listen, so how can you let me be the teacher?"
"But… "
"Don't say any more, if you still think it's this master, then you go out now, kill that person immediately, and restore peace to the world."
Xiao Ting's eyes widened, she didn't expect the master to say such words, she immediately fell to her knees with a plop.
"Master, can master not kill him?"
"Master, he didn't hurt anyone, he didn't hurt Xiao Xiao, he didn't hurt anyone, why should he die?"
Xiao Ting was a little incoherent, didn't know what to say, tears were streaming down her face, this was the first time she felt powerless.
This person is her master, the one who raised her single-handedly, but now she is asked to kill a person who trusts her the most, and is also the person she loves.
She didn't know what to do at all, so she could only refuse.
"Xiao Xiao, things in this world are not as simple as you see."
The man didn't explain much, but just said such a sentence, looking at Xiao Ting through the red flame, his eyes were full of disappointment.
"But Master, it's you who made me see things so simple. You said that my temperament is excellent since I was a child. Now you say that I can't see things so simple..."
Xiao Ting wiped away her tears and continued: "At the beginning you always said that I lacked one muscle and was different from others."
"But others say that I know they are scolding people, but I know what the master said is true. They all say that I am stupid. I know all of this."
"But master, what should I do, is it right?"
She knelt on the ground and moved forward a few steps.
"This is the only thing I didn't listen to my master. Master shouldn't die."
It was the first time in Xiao Ting's life that she cried like this, it was a special kind of powerlessness.
She didn't know what to do, she couldn't do anything except beg for mercy, and she couldn't even resist.
"Oh, since you said he shouldn't die, then tell me what it means for him to live in this world."
Xiao Ting's eyes lit up, "Meaning? Master, didn't you say that life is the greatest miracle in this world?"
"But you should also know that he died the year he was born, so he was already dead."
The man sat on the lotus platform, standing still: "There is a price to pay for going against the sky."
"I know, master, I know, but his mother has already died for him."
Xiao Ting remembered the things Concubine Yan said back then.
Although not in detail, she also knew the general idea.
"Concubine Yan did exchange her life back then, but it was not Chu Li's life that was exchanged, but another person's life."
"What? This is impossible?" Xiao Ting couldn't believe it.
But she also knew that the master would not lie.
"Then master, who was the person who changed his life with Concubine Yan back then? Why did Chu Li survive again?"
Xiao Ting's mind is messed up, she was not born with that one orifice just like what her teacher said.
What's more, she couldn't accept such a large amount of information.
"This is a secret. If you are an outsider and a teacher, I will tell you that now you are an insider."
The man shook his head slightly, obviously not satisfied with the result.
"But...but...but, what should we do now?"
Xiao Ting is like a headless chicken, she doesn't know what to do at this moment.
She hesitated anxiously, and the uneasiness in her heart became more and more obvious.
"Kill him, kill Chu Li, and everything will return to normal."
"No, master..."
Xiao Ting directly refused: "I have listened to you since I was a child, and whatever you say is what you say, even if Xiao Xiao has doubts in her heart, I never ask.
But this time I can't, master, I can't kill him, he also has a life, he is alive, he appears in front of me every day, he has a lovely daughter, there are so many subordinates who are loyal to him, and the poor housekeeper, master, he can't die. "
"well… "
The man shook his head again, the disappointment in his eyes deepened, "I taught you in vain."
"Master, master, you must have a way, master, can you save him
He didn't harm anyone, and I'm thinking of a way, master, I'm thinking of a way, here is the source of extreme yin, I came here to find the source of extreme yin, it can suppress the balance in his body, and won't let his yin and yang physique mature so quickly, master, I will definitely think of a way to make him a normal person, master... "
Even if she talks about everything with the Ninth Prince, even if she feels her heartbeat.
Even if she knew that the Ninth Prince had done so many things for her.
Even if she knew her reluctance, before this, she never thought that she would disobey her master for this man, and tried every means to defend him.
She never thought that there would be such a day, there would be such a person, who made her feel so sad.
I don't want him to disappear in this world.
"Hmph." The man was angry for the first time, "After talking so much, you just don't want him to die, Xiao Xiao, do you know what will happen if you fall in love with him?"
"No matter what the result is, Xiao Xiao will bear it alone. Master, please tell me, how can I save him?"
Xiao Ting kowtowed nine times in a row, her forehead was already bleeding and sticky, but she didn't dare to stop at all, she knew that it was almost impossible to change what the master decided, but she still wanted to give it a try.
She knelt there all the time, already feeling that something was passing in her body, she was dizzy, and only heard the voice coming from the front when she was mechanically repeating the movement there without any thought.
"well… "
"Everything is fate, I didn't expect you to come to this time and space, you still can't escape..."
At this moment, Xiao Ting was dizzy, her ears were buzzing, and she couldn't hear what he was talking about.
In the Yin bamboo forest, the Nine Princes broke the bamboo sticks on the mountain, and then rescued the little boy. They wandered around the forest for several hours before finding Xiao Ting who had fainted on the ground.
"Big brother, little sister is here."
The man was found by a little boy.
Ninth Prince hurriedly stepped forward to feel her pulse and breathing, called her a few times but failed to wake her up, so he hurried out with her on his back.
This time it went well, and they didn't encounter any strange things.
"Master, master, please, master..."
"Master, can you save him, master, I beg you to save him."
"Master, he is very pitiful. His parents are gone, just like Xiao Xiao. Master, can you save him? I beg you, Xiao Xiao kowtows to you, kowtows to you..."
Ninth Prince frowned, sat by the bed, and kept changing the towel on her forehead.
