My name is Teng Zhao. Before I was seven years old, I had been living in a lonely world. I didn’t like to be in contact with others, and I was even less willing to talk to them, because I saw that everyone was wearing layers of masks, and their faces seemed to be covered with layers of masks.
There were several faces that I couldn't see through, and I didn't want to look at them. The more evil-hearted the people, the more ferocious their faces were, like the evil spirits recorded in the unofficial histories.
I like reading, writing and playing chess. Doing these things can make me feel at peace. Before I was seven years old, Mr. Du was the one who accompanied me most. He was very good, but when I looked at him, he was still covered with a mask, and I could not see clearly the most real things.
one side.
I know that many people say that I am a freak. My family dislikes my left-wing and independent temperament, and dislikes me for being cold. They say that I was born a stone person and cannot keep warm.
I admit that I really can't express the love they say for everyone, and I can't entertain myself with colorful clothes like other children of the same age in my family. Looking at their cheerful faces, I feel like I'm watching an actor.
They kept a distance from me and secretly said that I was a poor person. I didn't care, but I felt comfortable. I preferred to be alone.
I thought I would always be alone like this until the most important person in my life showed up.
She was only a few years older than me, and her eyes were very smart. When she looked at me and smiled, my eyes felt a little sore, and I felt like I hadn't seen her for a long time.
I saw her really clearly. There was no other mask, but the truest side.
I think she and I must have met in my previous life, otherwise how could my heart be so excited?
Now, she appears next to me again.
She took me away.
She became my master. Her real name is Qin Liuxi. She is a Taoist priest who is not willing to make progress but has great kindness and righteousness in his heart.
From then on, my heart felt warm, and it seemed that I had settled into reality, no longer a floating void.
The master’s teachings were very casual and focused on self-cultivation. In her words, the master taught me how to practice, and cultivation was personal, so I had to learn on my own.
Having said that, she has not fallen behind at all when it comes to teaching.
Master is very powerful, and she also protects her shortcomings. She has no standard for right and wrong, but she always pays attention to cause and effect. Among the righteous paths that only punish evil, she is even a little evil and crooked, because she will let others
Evil defeats evil, even if the other party is a resentful ghost.
I prefer Master to being upright. I always have the feeling that everything she does is right.
Later, Thousand-year-old Ginseng told me, what is that called blind worship and master control?
I don't understand much, but I only know that what Master said is right.
She often said that I should be more diligent and learn faster. She is just a lazy person. When she was young, she relied on her master to support her. When she had an apprentice, she relied on her apprentice to support her. But in fact, my master, me, and Qingpingguan all relied on me.
Raise her.
I feel sorry for Master, but I don’t want to disappoint her, because I feel a sense of urgency and crisis, as if if I are lazy, I will not be able to catch up with her, and I will always be the one looking up to and waiting for her, so
I worked hard to learn.
Later I learned that this kind of urgency is called fighting side by side, and there was always a strong panic in my heart.
I'm afraid that one day she will really leave me completely!
This panic has become real.
I have great skills, but I was never of much help in the battle to kill the gods. It was the master who demonstrated the Tao with his own body and protected the people of this world, while she fell into nothingness forever.
I'm so angry!
The stinky master who always said that the dead Taoist friend is not dead but the poor Taoist, in the most destructive battle, he became that dead Taoist friend!
She actually abandoned all of us, she was so cruel.
I knelt in the Land of Fallen Angels for three days and three nights, and searched there for a whole month, but I couldn't find even a trace of soul.
That's right, that Si Luo is so powerful that our current two sects of Buddhism and Taoism can't stop him together. Master probably expected that this would be a life-and-death hurdle that couldn't be overcome, so she used her body formation to kill him.
Master is no longer here.
This realization made me scared, painful, and unbelievable.
Why is such a powerful master no longer around?
I enshrine her statue day and night and pray to the sky day and night. She just went on a long journey and I look forward to her early return.
Day after day, year after year, I was not lazy at all. I practiced day and night, perfected my skills, and even became the youngest Foundation Establishment Master in the world. I want to tell her, you can come back, I have grown up, you
You can go wherever you want and play however you want.
I kept waiting and waiting, but I still didn't see her suddenly appear, touch my head and call me "good disciple", and I was already middle-aged.
At the age of thirty-five, it has been twenty years since Master left. Qi Qian, the Kangping Emperor she supported, has come to the end of his life. I went to see him off and took away the one that Master calculated for me.
Destined disciple.
Qi Qian built a memorial temple for Master for believers to visit. He said that Master deserved to be remembered. He also said that even though she had been gone for many years, he did not want anyone to forget her.
how can that be possible?
In addition to me and him, there are many people who remember Master, including the Qin family, Yu Changkong, many Taoist friends from the Buddhist and Taoist sects, Master's best friend Si Lengyue, etc. Everyone is waiting for her return.
After Qi Qian died, I said hello to Black and White Wuchang and personally led him to the Underworld Road. I didn't expect that he would be so persistent that he would not die after entering the underworld, but insisted on waiting below.
He said that death is not terrible, but what is terrible is that he will never see her return.
She shouldn't be in nothingness.
Seeing his sad expression, I couldn't say anything to persuade him. If I wanted to wait, just wait. He was a nail in the gutter, and no one would dare to say anything even after he became the emperor.
I took him to the Karma Fire Hell and told him that if one day the fire here lights up the Karma Fire again, it will be her return.
Later, every year on the day when Master left, I would go to the Karma Fire Hell. Qi Qian was there, staring at the endless Karma Fire Hell with no other bright colors except black.
I feel gratified for Master. Her sacrifices are not without reward. Someone will always remember her and firmly believe that she will come back.
Qi Qian was like this, and so was the fox who had been guarding the tombstone in the Land of Fallen Angels.
I thought that this belief only supported us to survive, but I didn’t expect that the reason why belief is belief is because we always believe in hope and miracles.
Regarding Master’s miracle, I took my new stupid little disciple to kowtow to her and tell her that I have found a successor for Qingpingguan, whose name is Changdu. I hope that he will be like Master.
People cross ghosts and they cross themselves.
Who would have thought that that ordinary little chubby man, who just slept in front of the tombstone, could detect the master's soul and say he saw the master.
She said that Changdu has a long life.
what does that mean?
This means that what they are waiting for is not just in vain. One day, their old friend will return!
