Chapter Twenty-Eight Turning Points
Maoshan Sect could not communicate with signals, so Fu Jun specially walked to a small village at the foot of the mountain and called me. He told me two things. The first was that there were rumors in the sect that Master Li’s uncle was not long, and the second was that Master, who had been in seclusion for many years, came out of seclusion yesterday and asked him to inform me that he would return to Maoshan immediately to discuss important matters.
When I heard the news that the old Taoist Qingyi with a serious face might die soon, I couldn't help but feel panic and froze in place.
In fact, Li Daozi not only let me take the lead in this principle, but if I had saved me repeatedly and repeatedly, if I had not been to him, I would not have been born in this world. Such kindness cannot be replaced by anyone. Moreover, in my heart, I, Master Li, are completely like a god, and there is almost nothing in the world that he cannot do. Such a person standing on the top of the world suddenly said that he was about to leave, which made me not mentally prepared at all.
After receiving Fu Jun's notice, I immediately put down everything at hand and rushed back to Maoshan without stopping. I was in extreme anxiety along the way, and I felt as if I was a little late, I might not see his last time.
Because I kept thinking about it, that is, when I was fighting for life and death with King Wu Mu, that guy slapped the little sword that had been following me for many years with a palm. This matter made me feel uneasy. Later, when I recalled it carefully, I felt that besides the blood demon clutches of King Wu Mu's blood demon clutches were too sharp, there was probably another problem, that is, the runes blessing on the small sword may have changed, and the most fundamental reason was from Li Daozi who drew the runes, and he was very likely to have something wrong with him.
When I thought about it this way, I felt a huge crisis coming to him. I felt extremely disappointed. I was so busy that I finally returned to Maoshan Sect the next morning.
This time, Yang Jie was also back to the mountain with me. Since the death of Yinghua Zhenren, this child has become more and more silent. He has been hiding in the dark all day long and will not give others much sense of existence. However, I have another feeling, that is, after the murder of Yinghua Zhenren, he has become more mature and sharp. Not to mention anything else, the eyes under the shadow mask have a sharp feeling like a knife.
When we returned to Maoshan Sect, it was not Fu Jun who came to greet us, but Xiao Yan Junior Sister.
After half a year of separation, I saw Junior Sister Xiaoyan again. I felt that her temperament suddenly changed heavily. She was full of fairy spirit, but it was somewhat similar to the real person Yinghua. I heard that after the death of the real person Yinghua, the Elders chose a junior sister Yinghua to take charge of Xiunu Peak. I originally planned to let Xiaoyan, the first disciple of Xiunu Peak, help, but she did not take on this job. Instead, she built a house near Yinghua's real person's cemetery, and then practiced two books taken from the Master Mu Ling Yu Qianba, and planted flowers and practiced, and was still leisurely.
It is precisely because of this experience that she has gained more experience in her practice, and she has achieved the kindness I have seen.
The fact that Junior Sister Xiaoyan got married to me was limited to a very small number of people. There were not many people in the Maoshan Sect, so she came here at this moment and was not very close to me. She said a few words simply, and then called someone from the side.
The one who waited next to Xiao Yan was a young man with an ordinary appearance and two heroic sword-brows, but Xiao Keming, the closed disciple of my master. He walked up to me and bowed to me, grinned and said, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother Fu is now a deacon in Qingchi Palace. When the master is inconvenient to retreat, he is responsible for the homework of the junior brothers. If there is no time left for a while, I will come over to guide you - don't you think my weight is too low, right?"
This guy hasn't settled yet, he is very free and easy, and he feels a little frivolous, but he is very close to me in his words.
I waved my hand and smiled, "Is your weight still light? Others say that you, Xiao Keming, is the best among the new generation of Maoshan, and someone else has listed me, Brother Fu Jun and you as the three masters of Maoshan. You must know that when you were old, I had not yet learned my skills and had entered the school, but you are already famous and have a lot of voices around the world. Why are you so humble?"
Xiao Keming waved his hand and said, "Where are you? Senior Brother, you have a prominent reputation in the world. Senior Brother Fu is about to take charge of Qingchi Palace. How can I compare with you? They are all blindly spread by others and cannot be accurate!"
While waved his hand and was modest, the boy couldn't help but smile, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise his mouth, obviously he was particularly excited about being included in the ranks of the three heroes of Maoshan.
After a few greetings, the two began to walk in. My face became serious and I asked about Li Daozi's news.
Because of Mingkong's purpose, Xiao Keming was very talented and very good at the talismans, so he came to the mountain. He followed my uncle Li to learn skills for three days. He is one of the most intimate people in Maoshan. Even the amulets that Junior Sister Xiaoyan asked for for me were obtained through his relationship. So no matter what the rumors about Li Daozi in the sect are the most true, I am afraid that it is said from him and can be calculated accurately.
Hearing my question, Xiao Keming looked around and then said to me in a low voice: "Those are rumors. Don't believe it. Master Li is the reincarnation of a celestial being. It's not so easy to die. But his energy has been worse than that of a day in the past few years. However, this time it's a node. If you want to spend it safely, you may need to do some arrangements - I don't know much about the specific things. You have to see the master. Only when you ask him can you know."
I nodded, rested a little in my heart, and then stopped talking more, and hurriedly walked, saying goodbye to junior sister Xiaoyan and Yang Jie at the intersection, and then went straight to Qingchi Palace.
When I arrived at Qingchi Palace, I found that my master was checking the homework of his disciples in the main hall. Fu Jun was greeting him, looking very busy. However, as soon as we entered the room, the master discovered me. He waved at me from afar, indicating that he knew my arrival. Then he made a gesture to Xiao Keming and continued to be busy with his affairs.
According to the master's instructions, Xiao Keming took me to the side hall next to him. After finding two cushions to sit down, he began to chat with me.
It was said to be a chat, but in fact, I spent most of my time asking about the situation outside. This young man who had entered the mountain gate since childhood was full of curiosity and desire to explore everything outside. Just like last time, he asked me countless questions, from the daily life of outsiders to the news on the world, as well as various things in the Religious Bureau and the Academy, he was simply a curious baby. When I asked about what happened in the sect, he seemed very depressed and repeatedly said to me: "It's so boring."
I am a little worried about Xiao Keming's state. He is like a little bird who has been locked in a cage for too long. Because he has rarely had the experience of living outside the mountain, he is full of yearning for the outside world. However, if he really goes out, he may be confused by the world of flowers and go astray; or he is frightened by cruel facts and suffers setbacks...
Of course, these are just my thoughts at the moment. Everyone has their own way to go, and I can't control other people's lives after all.
Compared to Xiao Keming, I was more worried about Li Daozi's life. Fortunately, my master did not let me wait for a long time. Soon he completed the exam to compare the cultivation level of his subordinates. With Fu Jun's company, he came to the side hall. When he saw me, he smiled and said, "Ai Cheng, you have worked hard recently."
I looked at my master's smile that was as painful as the spring breeze, and stood up from the cushion, and shouted respectfully: "Master, I..."
Master means that I have made a lot of efforts in the aftermath after the murder of Yinghua Zhenren. The reason why I am sad is that I feel that the death of Yinghua Zhenren is inseparable from me. The master and apprentice had a connection with each other. He saw me with a sad expression, waved his hand, and then comforted me: "Yang Ying's death has a lot to do with you, but it has nothing to do with you. I have my own concerns in my heart. You don't need to blame yourself too much, but today I asked Fu Jun to call you back, do you know what's wrong?"
I bowed and replied, "But for Uncle Li?"
He nodded, waved his hand, and asked Fu Jun and Xiao Keming to retreat. After they left the side hall, he sighed and said to me: "Uncle Li has been in the Tao for many years, and his cultivation has entered the realm of transformation. It is logical that he can live longer. However, over the years, he has been suffering from illness, but today, he can't hold on for long..."
When I heard the master say this, tears fell down my face and said sadly: "The reason why Master Li is like this is all because of me - I, I deserve to die..."
I know that Master Li’s illness over the years was mainly because of helping me overcome the tribulation, so the guilt was like a poisonous snake, biting my heart and causing me to suffer. However, Master smiled calmly and said to me: "Many things are not transferred by human will, so if you keep blaming yourself, you may have let down your Master Li’s efforts. As for why you are asked to come back, one is that he wants to see you, and the other is that he is preparing to prolong his life. I think the best guardian is you, but I just don’t know if you want to?"
I was originally immersed in the grief of losing my elders. When I heard this sentence, I suddenly felt excited. I reached out and grabbed my master's arm, and shouted excitedly: "Master, can Master Li's uncle still prolong his life?"
The master replied: "Natural!"
