Green bamboo...

When was the last time we met?

I'm afraid it will take half a year...

At that time, Xiaozhi had just arrived at the Zhenwu Temple, and the Taiping Road was beginning to take shape. Although it was just the outcast Yazi who showed up, it at least meant that this behemoth had begun to gradually extend its tentacles.

And then...

Qingzhu brought a pair of gold earrings, those were my mother’s earrings!!

She said that my dad seems to be pursuing a big thing. If he keeps pursuing it, he will definitely die, and many, many people will die. Therefore, she must bring my dad back and bring him to me!!

This is what she promised!

That is a woman who practices what she preaches.

When she comes, does she mean...

There seems to be something stirring in the blood, so that my body is constantly trembling. I haven't been so excited for a long time...

Squeak!

The mountain door suddenly opened a gap, and a woman carrying a bucket slid out of the door while wiping the sweat from her forehead. If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, I might have hit her full in the face.

After seeing the woman's appearance clearly, I couldn't help being happy and said: "Aunt Yindi, why are you here? Since you are here, I'm afraid Uncle Dong Jian is also here, right? You two plan to live in the Taoist temple permanently.

?”

The woman was startled for a moment. After seeing me clearly, she quickly put down the bucket, wiped her hands on the apron around her waist, then held my shoulders, looked me up and down for a while, and then said: "It seems

It’s not like I’m suffering less. I was muttering two days ago, asking my family member why you haven’t come back yet. My family member is a heartless person, so I asked Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Zhang said it should be soon. Sure enough, this

Just come back!"

She was sizing me up, and I was sizing up her.

This is a woman whose body has been tortured by fate.

The child was harmed by a charlatan, and the old father died in depression. Dong Jian probably wanted to repay his kindness, so he took over the work of old man Qi and sent us food and some daily necessities to the mountains. He was affected by this, and over time he also developed his own direction.

Because of his worldly thoughts, my master took pity on him and gave him the mud house that the lay people lived in behind the temple. I have not seen Yindi since that incident. Now it seems that her face is rosier than before and she is energetic.

My condition has also improved a lot, and the shadow may not have disappeared, but at least I have begun to walk on an optimistic path. Now I guess I am like Dong Jian, who has gone to this alien land to seek inner peace.

I was so busy looking at her that I didn't hear most of what she said clearly. It wasn't until she mentioned my master that I came back to my senses and my eyes lit up: "My master is back too?"

"It's been a little over half a month since I came back!"

Yindi smiled and helped me brush off a stain on my shirt, and forgot about Lao Bai and the others who were following far behind, and said, "Go back and have a rest. Auntie will prepare delicious food for you at noon. You haven't eaten yet."

Can you beat the oily pork I cooked? Let me show you my skills!"

"good!"

I responded and then asked: "Um... Aunt, besides my master? Is there anyone else in the temple? A woman with her face covered? Did she bring anyone back?"

"There is such a person!"

Yindi's smile faded and she frowned: "I just came here last night. It was already midnight. My husband and I had just laid down when we heard the door banging open. I thought something had happened.

As for my son, I put on my clothes and walked outside. When I got out, I saw a woman stumbling towards your house. I didn't see anyone else following her. She seemed to be injured or something, and she was bleeding.

There was blood all over the floor. Just as I was about to follow up and ask, Mr. Zhang came out and stopped me with his hand, telling me to leave it alone and go back to sleep. Then he stood outside the door for a while and then went back, as if he hadn't seen him.

, quite strange.

This morning, I made breakfast for Mr. Zhang, and I specifically asked about this matter. Mr. Zhang still asked me to leave it alone. I asked whether he should send food, but he said that no one can get close to that house now..."

My face has become ugly...

According to Yindi, not only did they bring my parents back, but also...Qingzhu was also injured!!

Qingzhu... was actually injured...

That free and easy, almost invincible woman was actually... injured!!

This news was like a bolt from the blue to me!

Yindi noticed that something was wrong with my expression, so she cautiously asked me if something serious had happened.

I forced a smile to tell her not to worry, and then hurried into the temple.

Yindi and his wife are both hard-working people. When they were in the temple, they cleaned the temple much more cleanly than our brothers did on their shifts. It was clear that there had just been a snowfall on the mountain, but there was no trace of snow in the yard.

The place where we usually practice has also undergone some changes. The surrounding areas have been plowed, and a lot of green pines have been transplanted from other places, adding a bit of vitality to this desolate season.

In the pavilion in the middle, a man is sitting on the ground meditating.

That man is my master.

Brother Yaozi and others speculated that my master should have taken that crucial step, and was no longer a half-step Celestial Master, but a real Celestial Master. After going out once, he was more out of the world than before.

Wearing only a loose white undershirt, her hair was not tied into a bun, it was hanging down casually. With sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, she really looked like a banished immortal...

When I saw my master, the panic in my heart immediately disappeared without a trace. I walked closer and knelt down outside the pavilion. Somehow, I thought of my desperate parents and the many things I experienced during this trip.

In the crisis of life and death, my nose felt sore, I quickly lowered my head and shouted softly, "Master, I'm back."

My master opened his eyes, smiled at the corner of his eyes, and waved to me. I quickly came up to him. He was usually very demanding, but today he was like a child. He rubbed my head hard and said softly.

He said: "Don't be afraid. The situation is still unclear. Don't mess up your position first. Even if the world doesn't tolerate your family, Master will always have a place for you to stay here."

How could someone as wise as him not guess my worries at this moment?

Qingzhu went to find my parents, but he escaped back with injuries all over his body!!!

I was already depressed, so I swallowed even harder when I heard this, and rubbed my eyes hard to prevent the cowardice from flowing down.

My master patted me lightly on the lower back and shouted: "Stand up, good man, the sky hasn't fallen yet, what are you afraid of? If something unspeakable really happens, then ask who that person is.

We, master and disciple, no longer practice Taoism, and we no longer practice good deeds. Master, I will carry my sword with you and go find that person. I will not cut him into pieces, and I will never tie my hair again to seek the Tao!"

My heart gradually warmed up, and my anxiety gradually turned into calmness.

"That's right."

There was a smile on my master's face, and he raised his chin toward my room: "Go and see her."

I subconsciously said: "Didn't you say that no one can get close to you?"

"I can't do it, Lao Bai and the others can't do it, but that doesn't mean you can't do it."

My master said: "Last night, I saw her. She was full of evil energy, as if she had rushed out of the Shura Hell. She was obviously still in a state of fighting. If others came close, they would definitely be attacked by her and would not stop fighting. So,

I asked Yindi not to disturb her, but... after she broke in here, she went directly to your place!"

Having said this, my master will say no more.

I thought about it carefully and roughly understood what he meant.

I've also experienced that kind of violent state. To put it simply, it's like being possessed by something. It feels like everyone who is close to you is plotting something evil, and you should kill first.

Unless it's... someone you trust extremely, someone you trust from the bottom of your heart, maybe you can get close.

Qingzhu went directly to my place, which shows that in her heart, my room... is probably the safest place in the world.

After thinking about this, I have mixed feelings in my heart.

People are actually quite strange. She and I don't have much interaction with each other. If it were anyone else, it would be just a casual acquaintance at most. We can't even talk about being friends, that is, they are just acquaintances, nothing more.

But...when I get along with her, I feel so comfortable.

You can squeeze into a deck chair, or you can drink from a wine gourd...

It's like being an old friend for many years.

If asked why, I can't tell you.

"Is it Lord Water?"

After a long silence, I raised my head and asked my master: "The last time I heard about her fight with Lord Water, Xing Wei was almost killed by her."

My master shook his head: "He doesn't have that ability."

"You can't do it even if you are ambushed by him?"

"Can't do it!"

My master said with certainty: "Conspiracy and tricks are only effective when they are based on a small gap between them. If it is a difference between clouds and mud, you can't change anything no matter how you play."
