Red Flame (1)
Eternal eternity is like the long night, and the great way is immortality!
My name is Gu Changsheng!
I have no father or mother since I was a child. I have no name, but I am just a little beggar who stays on the streets.
On a snowy night, I was just competing for food with a wild dog, curled up in the corner of the street, holding a dirty steamed bun in my hand, biting it.
That night, I met someone who changed my destiny.
He was wearing a green robe, with an ordinary face and a bright pair of eyes.
The breath on him made me feel very comfortable, and I couldn't help but want to get close to him.
"Follow me, you won't be frozen and hungry in the future!"
This is the first thing he said to me. His voice was very gentle.
I have been lying on the street for many years, and I have seen many people of all kinds and are very alert.
But in front of this person, I trust him very much and have no warning at all.
In just one sentence, I have been following him since that night.
Gu Changsheng, this name was given to me by him!
And I, from this day on, became his disciple.
Later I learned his name. He called himself Xianyun and said that he just wanted to live a life like a wild crane, free and easy world.
At that time, I didn't know very well, and only knew that with him, I would no longer be hungry and freeze, and would no longer compete with wild dogs on the street for food.
The master said that he accepted many disciples in his life, but no one could truly inherit his mantle.
It was also a whim to accept me.
On the night when it was snowing heavily, he sensed his successor to appear and found me.
Master taught me the Tao and taught me everything I could, without any reservation.
I not only regard him as my master, but also as my father and my closest person.
One day a hundred years later, I broke through a bottleneck in my own right, and was very excited and went to my master to share such good news with him.
But when I came to the small lake where my master lived, I found a strange young man walking out of the wooden house by the lake.
After seeing me, the young man showed a strange smile on his face and said to me softly: "You are Junior Brother Gu, are you?"
"You are..." I looked at him in confusion.
"I am your senior brother, Qing Jue!" He nodded to me, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said, "After we know about you, we are very envious of you!"
After saying this, he did not give me a chance to respond, and his figure flashed and disappeared directly.
Although his figure disappeared, the smile on his face made me feel frizzy, and there was an inexplicable chill rising behind me, and it felt like falling from an ice cellar.
"Changsheng, come in!"
At this time, the master's vicissitudes of life came from the wooden house, accompanied by a violent cough.
I woke up from my daze and hurried into the wooden house.
Over the past century, the appearance of the master has changed drastically. In just a hundred years, he has become gray-haired, wrinkles on his face, and many age spots appear on his body.
Especially those eyes, the bright and deep eyes that were once, have become very turbid at this time.
People who practice Taoism have an energy and spirit that is not comparable to ordinary people, and their life span is even longer, so it is not difficult to stay in their youth forever.
I don’t know why Master became so old in just a hundred years, but his status in my heart has never changed.
The master coughed and finally stabilized, and an abnormal blush appeared on his face.
"Breakthrough?" Master looked at me and asked gently.
"Yeah!" I nodded fiercely. A little excitement arose in my heart again.
After being stuck in this bottleneck for several years, I finally broke through. I must be excited!
The master waved to me, and I understood the meaning, walked forward and stretched out my palm.
The master put his hand on my palm, and a hot air flow appeared from my master's hand and poured into my body along my palm.
Every time I break through a realm, my master will do this. In his words, it is to detect the power in my body. Every time I can clearly feel that my master will leave part of my power in my body.
This should be considered another way of inheritance!
I have even been wondering over the years whether Master has become like this because of the transition of power to me.
The master didn't say it. I didn't dare to ask, but I will always keep this kindness in my heart.
"Ahem cough cough..."
The teacher coughed violently, his face turned pale, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The hot power transported into my body came to an abrupt end.
Master's body trembled, and I hurriedly supported his body. He said anxiously and nervously: "Master, you..."
"I'm fine!" The master waved at me, took a few breaths, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Looking at my concerned and nervous eyes, the master smiled and said hoarsely: "The disease left behind in the past is not serious yet, don't worry!"
Before I could respond, the master said warmly: "Changsheng, you have been with me for a hundred years, and it is time to leave! The young eagle will eventually soar in the sky for one day. You cannot avoid my wings forever. It is time to find your way!"
"Master..." I stared at Master with wide eyes, feeling panicked, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
For a hundred years, I have been with my master and have never left. I regard him as my closest person and never expected this day.
The master looked at me with a little kindness in his eyes and said softly: "I have taught you what I should teach you. How to go next depends on your own! The road to cultivation is difficult and bumpy, you must have great perseverance and great determination... Also, human hearts are the most terrible thing, you must keep this in mind!"
My eyes were slightly red, and I stared at my master in a daze, my mouth twitching, not knowing what to say.
"Go, when you make a name outside, you can just come back and see me, the old man!" The master smiled and patted my shoulder, and said softly: "I don't ask you to achieve as much as you can achieve. Just be alive. Only by living can you have hope!"
I nodded gently. Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly remembered the young man I just met in front of the wooden house.
"Master, is the person who just came here really my senior brother?"
I said carefully: "How many senior brothers do I have? Why haven't they come to see you in the past few years?"
He has never mentioned how many disciples the master has taken to me.
After hearing what I said, the master's face changed slightly, then he sighed softly, and said with a little lonely expression: "I have accepted many disciples, and now you have three left, and the others are all dead. Your senior brother, you should stay away from him in the future, and it is best to have any intersection... Remember what I just said to you, human hearts are the most terrible thing, don't trust anyone!"
The master seemed to have something in his words. Before I could figure out what his words meant, he waved his hand gently, and a hot force wrapped around me and pushed me out of the wooden house.
"Go and go and break into your own world!"
The master's voice floated in his ears and never dissipated for a long time.
I stood in front of the wooden house, knelt down directly, and kowtowed three times hard.
Standing up and looking at the wooden house, I said firmly: "Master, I will not let you down. I will not always be embarrassed!"
After saying that, I wiped the tears from my eyes and turned around and strode away.
I have been here for a hundred years, and in my heart, this is my home.
The wanderer left his hometown and went out to travel, vowing to return home in glory.
The childish eagle flies high, the sky is high and the sea is wide.
Away from here, I became a afterimage, running quickly in the mountains and forests, whistling loudly, venting my depression and a little excitement.
Leaving Master made me feel a little sad, but the outside world also made me yearn for it.
Just as I was about to rush out of this deep mountain forest, a faint breath locked on me and made me feel tremble.
I stopped and stood at the top of an old tree, looking to the east.
There, a slender figure stood under the tree and leaned on the thick trunk.
It is my senior brother, Qing Jue!
He smiled at me and said softly: "My junior brother, do you have time to talk?"
I looked at him vigilantly, jumped gently, and my figure flashed, and came to a tree not far away from him, looking at him quietly.
My first impression of this senior brother was not very good. Although he was gentle on the surface, it gave me a bit cold.
The master just told me to keep me away from this senior brother. Although I don’t know why, I already have a deep sense of precaution towards him.
"I'm so vigilant about me, did the master tell you something?"
He looked at me and said with a smile: "Junior brother, there are some things you don't understand, and I can't explain too much to you. Today I came to see the master, and I also calculated that he would definitely let you leave there, so I waited for you here in advance, just want to tell you three things!"
I was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
"The first thing, including you, Master has taken over 18 disciples in a thousand years. You have been with Master for the longest time, which makes us envious and jealous! The second thing is that among the many brothers and brothers, there are only you and me, and the third junior brother, and only three of us are left. Everyone else is dead!"
Speaking of this, he paused, looked at me, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said softly: "Do you know how they all died?"
I looked at him without a response.
The strange smile on the corner of his mouth was even stronger, and his tone was gentle, and he said, "The Yan Shen Art we practiced was created by Master. Do you really think he taught us the complete Yan Shen Art? The third thing is that the deaths of those brothers are all related to the Yan Shen Art. They exploded and died without any corpses. My third junior brother and I have studied it. Master took us as disciples, but it was just to test the disadvantages of the Yan Shen Art on us. Does the scorching and burning pain come from your body every once in a while?"
I raised my eyebrows and remained silent.
He was right. I did feel burning pain in my body every once in a while, but my master said that this is normal. He said that the Fire God Art is a skill comparable to the immortal world. It is too domineering. As my strength increases, I will adapt in the future.
Now that I heard Qing Jue say this, I can't help but feel a little murmur in my heart.
"If it was really like you said, how could you and the third senior brother be fine?" I asked in a deep voice.
He looked at me with a smile and said, "This is also the purpose of waiting for you here! My third junior brother and I were lucky. I met Lord Jiufeng. It was him who guided us and drove away the disadvantages in our bodies. I don't want you to follow the footsteps of those dead brothers, so I can tell you the way. Follow Lord Jiufeng, you will definitely let you..."
"Oh, I've been making trouble for a long time and turned out to be a lobbyist!" I interrupted him directly and said sarcastically: "You don't bother with a corner around the bush. If you want to be someone else's lackey, it doesn't mean I'm willing to do it too!"
