The Ruthless Emperor: Chapter 8: The Ghost Haunts
"Follow me." The old Taoist said, without giving Su Jin a chance to respond, and absorbed him and the Tongtian Xuanjin Coffin into the universe in his sleeve.
"How come you feel like you have just left the tiger's den and then entered the wolf's den?" Su Jin's eyes were floating in an extremely dark space with the Xuanjin coffin. It was like seeing the scene outside when he was inside the coffin. However, no matter how he increased the intensity of the fairy energy, he could not see through this rich darkness.
After confirming that his strength was not enough to escape, Su Jin sat cross-legged in the dark void and waited quietly.
I just heard the old man say that if he wants to repay him, the so-called reward he said shouldn't have killed his own life, right?
It was unclear how long it had passed, but Su Jin's body shook suddenly, and then his eyes lit up... His body was thrown out roughly.
"Bang!"
The other ones came out, the Tongtian Xuanjin Coffin, which hit the ground heavily.
Su Jin held his waist, stood up from the ground, looked around, and saw that this was a beautiful forest with beautiful mountains and rivers, surrounded by flowers and plants, guarding a seven-story wooden tower.
When the wind was coming, countless wind chimes on the eaves of the wooden tower collided with each other, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
"Ping An..." the old Taoist shouted to the wooden tower.
"Master!" The seemingly thick door of the wooden pagoda was opened from the inside. A little boy with an ordinary face and an ordinary temperament, who seemed to be only seven or eight years old, ran out of the wooden pagoda wearing a modified Taoist robe.
The geese flew south, the wind chimes sounded, the sunset was like fire, and the children running out of the wooden tower were as beautiful as a painting, which made the old Taoist, who had always had a wooden face, smiled.
"Have you finished your homework today?" When Ping An ran to Lao Dao, Lao Dao reached out and touched his head and asked softly.
"It's done." Ping'an nodded, turned his head to look at Su Jin and said, "Master, who is he?!"
The old Taoist said: "It is the one who will take care of you on my behalf in the future."
Safety:"???"
Su Jin: "????"
Seeing that both of them looked confused, the old Taoist explained: "My life span is over, and it is time to return to heaven and earth. The only thing I can't rest assured is peace! The big brother in front of you has received my favor and should bear this cause and effect."
Su Jin said: "Master, I am frank, I really won't take care of my children. Besides, past experience shows that if a child who is in the growth stage stays by my side for a long time, there will be only disadvantages and no benefits."
"Don't shirk your responsibilities, you can't escape. From now on, take peace down the mountain. If you feel that you can't teach him, find a good destination for him. At least, it can ensure a stable life." The old Taoist said lightly, lifted the Tongtian Xuanjin Coffin and walked into the wooden tower.
"Bang!"
Afterwards, the old Taoist closed the door directly and isolated the two of them outside.
With tears in his eyes, Ping An kowtowed to Muta three times respectfully, stood up and said to Su Jin, "Big Brother, let's go."
Su Jin was stunned for a moment and said, "Accepting it so quickly? Shouldn't it be because he was reluctant to leave, or just hugging the door and crying?"
"It's useless. As long as it is decided by the master, there will be no more changes." Ping'an shook his head and said.
Looking at his appearance as he decided to follow him, Su Jin suddenly had a headache.
All of this happened so fast, as if it was ten times faster, which caught him off guard.
"Ping An, right? I think you should at least fight for it!" Taking a breath, Su Jin said seriously: "After all, your master is about to die. If you don't stay by his side at this time, you will never see him who is alive again, and you will not hear his voice."
Ping An pointed his hand at the main door of the wooden tower and said, "Even if I stay here, I can't pass this door, and the result is no different."
Su Jin: "..."
What's going on inexplicably feeling that you were cheated? The most helpless thing is that you can't tell who was cheated on you.
"Okay, I can take you down the mountain, but I won't keep you with me all the time, because what I'm going to do is very dangerous." Su Jin said.
Ping'an nodded and said, "Then please arrange a place for me, brother, to do so, and not ask for a safe life as Master said, and to have a place to live."
Su Jin thought about it and then thought, and reached out and summoned the page of gold paper left to him by the Pure Land Buddha, and delivered it to him and said, "Although your master is a Taoist priest, you also look like a Taoist priest, but from the source, Buddha is the Taoist priest, and the same sect of Buddhism and Taoism. If you take this page of gold paper, it should help you find a good destination."
Ping An took the gold paper, put it in his arms, and turned around to hold the black donkey, which was also isolated from a wooden door.
The donkey's four hooves seemed to have grown to death on the ground. Even if they were pulled by the reins, their bodies remained unmoved at all, and they even shook their heads at Ping'an.
Ping'an pursed his lips, let go of the donkey, and bowed slightly to it.
This bow is a farewell, and it is also a thank you, thank you for your unyielding resignation to your master.
"Let's go." After a while of buffering, Su Jin had no choice but to accept this reality and said softly.
Ping'an nodded, followed behind him, turned around one step and three times, and gradually left the mountain.
What he didn't know was that when his figure completely disappeared, the tightly closed wooden tower gate slowly opened again, and the gray-faced old Taoist walked out of it, came to the donkey, gently stroked the hair on its head, and looked into the distance.
As the sun sets, the clouds in the sky disappear, just like a cycle of reincarnation, and even the most beautiful scenery will eventually wither...
Three months later, Su Jin walked out of a Mahayana Buddhist immortal mountain with ease and let out a long sigh.
Over the past period of time, he took Ping An and visited many Buddhist sects. Unfortunately, he was either left alone and was directly ignored. After finally someone received them, he was not interested in the so-called secret treasures of the Pure Land Sect.
This Mahayana Buddhism branch is the only temple that is willing to collect gold pages and promises to take care of peace.
Sending him here can be regarded as completing his explanation to the old Taoist priest. As for whether the other party is satisfied or not, the result is not within his consideration.
It was a cause and effect that was forced to be inserted into him. It was already very good if you didn't ignore it. You would do your best to do your best, and you would not appear at all.
