The fog dissipated, and I could clearly see that the bare top of the mountain was the platform. There was a small cave at the end of the platform, just like the cave on the top of Snake Cave Mountain. It was very narrow and small, and there were iron bars separating it.
My heart began to beat violently again, and at the same time I put away my copper coin sword and ran over there quickly.
Before running out of the cave, I heard an extremely weak voice coming from the cave: "Is it Xiao Fei?"
"Master!!" I blurted out, and then I quickly stepped forward and grabbed the railing, ignoring the material of the railing. Anyway, my hands were cold. I looked inside, and suddenly my heart felt like a knife cutting.
I saw Uncle Jiu, who had not been seen for many days, sitting in shackles against the stone wall in the cave. The shackles on it, which was not strong to begin with, made it look even thinner. The ghost servants on it were gone and replaced by them.
It is a black robe with a large word "prison" printed on the chest, just like what prisoners wore in ancient times. On the black robe, many small white dots can be vaguely seen moving.
It was crawling in and out of the clothes. Although Uncle Jiu seemed to be trying his best to endure it, I could still see from its face how intense pain it was enduring.
I couldn't cry. When I saw this scene, I immediately felt that my head was about to explode. My heart began to hurt violently. All the emotions seemed to be blocked in my throat, making it impossible for me to express. I felt that my feet were weak.
, then he knelt in front of the cave, and said tremblingly: "I...I'm here, Master, I'm sorry, I'm here to save you."
When Uncle Jiu saw me like this, he didn't even scold me. His previous stern expression disappeared. He just sighed and said to me: "It seems that it is useless to stop you. You are really here.
You and your senior brothers have all met, right? Was it Lao Wang who told you I was here?"
In fact, at this time, if Uncle Jiu reprimanded me, I would feel better, but when I heard it talking to me so calmly, I immediately felt ashamed. This feeling of wanting to cry but not being able to cry was really uncomfortable.
I covered my face, breathed heavily, and then said to Uncle Jiu: "Master, I'm sorry, it was me who made you like this. I will rescue you right away. Just wait for me!"
Having said that, I pulled out the copper coin sword that looked like a soldering iron with my backhand. You must know that the Yang energy of this sword is the nemesis of all monsters and monsters in this underworld. It can be cut off by blowing hair, but it should also be able to cut off an iron railing.
Devastated.
But I was really too naive at the time. After hearing three loud bang bang bang noises, I was stunned because the three swords I tried to chop out with all my strength had no effect at all on the iron railings.
It can't even leave a trace on it.
Just when I was surprised, Uncle Jiu in the cave wanted to move his body, but as soon as he moved, he frowned. Obviously, the pain he suffered was too intense, but he still held back and sighed.
Then he said to me: "Hey, Xiao Fei, you don't have to blame yourself too much and don't worry about it anymore. This iron fence is made of impermanent iron and you can't open it."
"No!!!" I yelled, how is this possible!! I have gone through all the trouble to get here, and I am about to rescue Uncle Jiu, how can I feel guilty about working here!! I can't accept it,
I can't accept this reality!!
Thinking of this, I quickly took back the copper coin sword, then raised my right hand, and used all my strength to open Master Chang's immortal bones to the maximum. Maybe it was because I was too excited, and the black energy on my arm seemed to be killing me.
It came out and almost covered my whole body. Even Uncle Jiu was very surprised when he saw it and said: "Is this... Ma Xian's fairy bone? Xiao Fei, where did you get it?"
Of course I didn't answer Uncle Jiu's words. Instead, I stretched out my right hand and grabbed the iron railing tightly. Then I put my foot on the other railing and pulled back hard. I don't believe you can't pull you!!
Twenty minutes later, I lay down at the entrance of the cave exhausted, with no strength left in my body. During these twenty minutes, I tried all the methods I could think of. The immortal bone given to me by Chang Tianqing was overused, and the tiger's mouth was too big.
I couldn't stop trembling from the exertion. Finally, a sense of despair emerged in my heart, making me unable to raise my head, and I began to choke.
Why! What is this? Why can't I save Uncle Jiu even though I'm here? I really can't accept that when I see Uncle Jiu again, it will be like this.
When Uncle Jiu saw me like this, he didn't ask me anything. He just saw it struggling to stand up as if using all its strength, then walked to the entrance of the cave and sat down. There was only an iron fence separated from me, but
It seems like two worlds apart.
Uncle Jiu said to me very calmly: "Xiao Fei, don't be sad. I have never done anything wrong in this life. It can be said that I have no worries. I can still help the world after death. I am already very good."
I'm relieved. I think my master would be proud of me if he knew I was like this. Now, I want to ask you something, can you promise me?"
I raised my head and looked at Uncle Jiu. There was no trace of sadness in its expression now. Although it was holding back the pain, it had a calm expression. But I don’t know why. The more I saw Uncle Jiu like this, the more I felt in my heart.
Feeling uncomfortable, I knelt on the ground and said to it: "Master, don't worry, I am your disciple, I will promise you no matter what, no matter how long it takes, I will definitely save you!"
Uncle Jiu on the other side of the railing smiled, and then said to me very calmly: "It's too late, you just pulled out the copper coin sword, and if there is Yang Qi in Fengdu Hell, it will definitely be discovered. They must be attacking here now."
I'm coming here. Time is urgent. I have to tell you something in the next moment. Please don't talk to me and just listen to me, okay?"
I looked at Uncle Jiu, and then nodded painfully. When Uncle Jiu saw me nodding, he said to me: "Xiao Fei, it is fate that you and my master and apprentice are together. Every time you call me out, I can do it."
I feel that you are indeed becoming more and more mature. I believe that you have now found the answer to the question you asked me. You must remember that no matter when and what happens, don’t lose yourself.
Do you understand your Taoist heart?"
I looked at Uncle Jiu, and it said these meaningful words to me. Although I couldn't understand them all, I nodded. Uncle Jiu continued: "Maybe it's the number of days, but I didn't read it this time.
I found very useful information, but I did find out that the so-called Seven Treasures White Moon does exist. In other words, the successor of the Three Purities Divination you told me about did not lie to you, but the materials used in these Seven Treasures are all
It is rare in the world, and it is too harmful to one's moral character, so you have to think carefully about the right and wrong of the matter. Xiaowen has already told me about Yuan Mei's matter. In fact, there is no right or wrong in the world. The teacher's body is small, but the thousand-year-old demon
The corpse is indeed very important. You must remember not to give him the opportunity to resurrect the corpse. Otherwise, all living beings will face a catastrophe and too many innocent lives will be sacrificed. Therefore, as a teacher,
The last thing I want to ask you is to do everything possible to return to the Yangshi to organize this catastrophe. Can you agree to be my teacher?"
I nodded very sadly. Why is this little old man so kind-hearted that he can't even protect himself and has to take care of all the living beings who have nothing to do with him? When Uncle Jiu saw me nodding, he smiled, and he smiled very kindly.
, I saw it looking at me, just like a loving father looking at his son, and he said softly to me: "Xiao Fei, I want to ask you something. I thought I could help you unconditionally back then."
You were still positive, but as a teacher, I forced you to practice Taoism with me for selfish reasons, which changed your life's destiny. Do you ever regret it?"
Have you ever regretted it? When I heard these words, I felt a sudden sadness in my heart. Thinking about the word regret, I had thought about it countless times before. If I had not been a cultivator, I might still be living the life of an ordinary person.
In life, I have a dull and boring job, going to and from work. Maybe I will have a girlfriend, and I will worry all day long about saving money to buy her a piece of jewelry to propose. But does this life really belong to me? No.
I deny that I have been troubled by five shortcomings and three shortcomings since I started practicing Taoism. I have encountered countless things that ordinary people have never encountered, and I have also met all kinds of people. I have felt the warmth and coldness of human feelings in the harshness of the world while laughing and cursing.
The poor ghost monsters and the abominable mortals made me understand the truth that I couldn't understand before. Do I ever regret it? Do I ever regret it?
Thinking of this, I smiled bitterly, and then said firmly to Uncle Jiu: "No, I have never regretted it, because it was Master who led me to practice Taoism and made me understand many truths that I could not understand before. As the saying goes,
All living beings are suffering, but what are all living beings? I am very glad that I understand this truth. It is precisely because I have nothing that I understand the value of living an ordinary life. If I can live it in the future,
If I live that kind of life, I believe that I should cherish it more than others. They say that God gives great responsibilities to people. Maybe this is the truth. If I didn't learn Taoism, I'm afraid Yuan Mei's ambition would have been realized long ago.
, and my relatives and I are bound to experience this catastrophe, and maybe they will all leave me. By then, I think I will be even more sad than now, so I don’t regret it, because now, I finally believe it.
God is fair. I can't keep escaping. Some things always need someone to do. Since God has chosen me, I will use my own hands to protect my family and this land! I believe that this
This should be the meaning of the profession of Mr. Baipai!!”
After Uncle Jiu heard what I said, a light of joy suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he said to me happily: "Good boy, you really have something that many people don't have. In fact, your teacher is in Fengdu."
I have thought countless times that many ancient things have disappeared now. The main reason may be that we can no longer keep up with the relationship in this society. Therefore, our White Faction will inevitably follow this path in the future and disappear in the world.
The stage of history, Xiao Fei, your suffering as a teacher, these burdens have been placed on you for too long and too heavy. If one day, the profession of the Bai sect no longer exists, you must live well, you
You know, the so-called Bai sect means being upright and honest, do you understand?"
I nodded heavily and kept Uncle Jiu's words in my heart.
Uncle Jiu saw that I had written it down, so he said to me with some relief: "Xiao Fei, if we say goodbye today, we will never meet again in the future. Please stretch your left hand over and let me give you the last gift."
When I saw Uncle Jiu say this, I felt even sadder. You know, I don’t want any gifts from his uncle now. I just hope that Uncle Jiu can be safe! But I couldn’t refuse Uncle Jiu, so I had to give my own
His left hand reached into the iron fence. Uncle Jiu raised his hands with some difficulty to hold my left hand, and then said to me: "I hope you can make good use of this power in the future."
It's strange. Logically speaking, Uncle Jiu is already dead, so his hands should be cold, but the feeling coming from my left hand is indeed a warmth, and it's getting hotter and warmer, a feeling that makes people feel very peaceful.
Qi began to flow into my body from my left hand, and I immediately knew what was going on. Although a cultivator died, his Qi could remain in the three souls and seven souls. Uncle Jiu wanted to drain his Qi.
Pass it all to me!!
I was immediately surprised and said: "Master!!!"
Uncle Jiu forgot about me, and then whispered to me: "Don't talk, be quiet." It was obvious that it was in great pain now. After all, its body had been eaten by termites, and it was only because of this energy that it could barely resist.
, but now he wants to give me this energy, and the pain immediately doubles, and his expression can no longer be calm.
Seeing this made it even more painful in my heart, but I didn't dare to withdraw my hand rashly, for fear that something might happen to Uncle Jiu. After a while, Uncle Jiu let out a sigh of relief, and then leaned against the stone wall without any strength.
Due to the long-term loss of energy, it looked more and more haggard, and even its body began to shrink a little bit. In the blink of an eye, it became the image of a little old man. When I saw this scene, I immediately lost my mind and stretched out my hand.
He pulled out a sword from his back, and couldn't tell which one it was, so he threw it at the iron railing frantically!
I just heard a bang! It was like something was broken. I took a look and saw that what I was holding in my hand was the rusty Huangchao Sword. I had cut it with all my strength just now.
The rusty sword was cut off, but that was not what surprised me. It was because a dazzling sword edge appeared in the broken gap. There was an evil spirit exuding from the sword edge. It was obvious that this was
Because of the evil spirit generated by killing too many people, I finally understood that this was indeed the real Huangchao Sword. The layer of patina on the outside was actually a layer of something similar to a scabbard. But even so, this Huangchao Sword
I couldn't cut down the damn railing either.
Uncle Jiu in the cave was very weak because he had lost his energy. He said to me: "Xiao Fei, don't waste your energy. Now I am passing on all my energy to you. This is what Lao Wang gave you."
Huang Chaojian, please don’t let us down, let’s go quickly.”
"No, I won't leave!!" My shouting was already a little hysterical and a little weak. I said to Uncle Jiu: "Master! I won't leave, I want to go with you!!"
At this time, the death knell of Fengdu City in the distance suddenly sounded. It was not as heavy as before, but became more and more urgent. When I heard it in my ears, it gave me a very urgent and depressing feeling.
At the same time, the copper coin sword on my back began to tremble on its own, as if it was resonating.
Uncle Jiu's face changed slightly, and he said to me: "What is supposed to come, has always come. They have discovered this Yang Qi now, and I believe they will find it here soon. Xiao Fei, without further ado, leave quickly or else
If so, it will be a shame for you!"
I squatted on the ground and held my head in pain. How did it feel? I was originally here to save Uncle Jiu, but I didn’t expect that I was still helpless. His uncle, why is this!!
His youngest apprentice looked like this, and a touch of sadness suddenly appeared on his face. Indeed, today's separation is equivalent to eternal separation, and we will never see each other again in the future. Think about it, although the cultivators have cultivated the right path, they are still human after all.
People will have a heart, and if there is a heart, there will be pain, which cannot be changed. But Uncle Jiu knew the seriousness of the matter, so he suppressed his sadness and shouted to me: "Xiao Fei!! Do you want to see my teacher here now?"
It’s okay if your soul is shattered in front of you!! Remember! You are no longer a child! You are Mr. White!! You have an obligation to save the common people!! Do you understand?!!”
When I heard Uncle Jiu say this to me, I was stunned. I couldn't say anything. Everything was stuck in my throat. Yes, I can't die yet. I haven't done what Uncle Jiu entrusted me to do.
, if I die now, then I believe that Uncle Jiu will not rest in peace. At this time, I can vaguely hear the screams of the beasts from the foot of the mountain. It is obvious that there is a ghost going up the mountain. If I don't leave, it will be too late.
So I endured the severe pain in my heart and kowtowed three times to Uncle Jiu in the cave very respectfully. I thought about how I kowtowed to Uncle Jiu three times when he passed me the "Book of Three Purities".
It was because I wanted to live that I kowtowed. Later, when Uncle Jiu sent me to the yellow rooster, I kowtowed to it three times. It was because I was so grateful to it that I kowtowed to it. Now, I kowtow to it again.
I kowtowed three times, this time because of the final reunion of our master and disciple. After kowtowing, our fate as master and disciple has ended, and we will never see each other again.
When Uncle Jiu saw me kowtow to it three times, he weakly said to me: "Get up, Xiao Fei. I hope you will be safe in the future."
I endured the grief and stood up. The screams of wild beasts at the foot of the mountain were getting closer and closer. I seemed to be able to feel the ground shaking slightly, so I said sadly to Uncle Jiu: "Master, I'm leaving. Thank you.
I will never forget how much you have taken care of me!"
Uncle Jiu nodded happily, and then said to me: "Go, my apprentice, go find your own way."
Suddenly, I didn’t dare to see Uncle Jiu anymore, for fear that I would still be reluctant to leave, so I covered my eyes and turned around and ran down the opposite mountain. From the sound of the voices, those ghosts should have gone up the mountain from the east, while I was coming from the west.
You should be able to avoid them by going down the mountain.
When I went down the mountain, I ran like crazy. I fell down many times, but I got up quickly. This pain was nothing compared to the inexplicable sadness in my heart. I kept going like this.
As I ran, there was no wind around me, but when I ran, my ears were filled with the sound of wind. Scenes of my long conversation with Uncle Jiu all night long appeared in my mind. I couldn't get rid of it, and there was a feeling of distress in my chest, but I couldn't help it.
Not daring to shout out, I suddenly realized that everything in front of me seemed to have turned red. At the same time, I was thoughtful and fell to the ground again, rolling down the mountain.
I don’t know how long I rolled, but I stopped. A laughing locust tree blocked my body. I was about to reach the bottom of the mountain. I climbed up leaning on the tree, sat on the ground, touched my eyes with my hands, and went up.
When I saw it, I immediately burst out laughing. It turned out that I didn't cry tears, but blood.
Suddenly, I felt like I was being ridiculous. I looked at the high Shipan Mountain, and the thick gray fog once again blocked the top of the mountain.
I lit a cigarette, then stood up and ran down without any hesitation. It seemed that only constant running could alleviate the pain in my heart at this moment. It all happened so suddenly that I couldn't accept it. In the end,
, I still can’t rescue Uncle Jiu, so what is the purpose of my coming to the underworld this time?
After running all the way down the mountain, I held on to a big tree and panted heavily, not because I was tired, but because the pain in my chest was too unbearable, and the Laughing Sophora japonica tree I was holding on kept snapping.
Holding the same leaf, I couldn't tell whether it was laughing at me or at his uncle's fate.
I didn't look back, but took the time to run forward. Uncle Wang said that if you want to run out, you can't look back. The blood from my eyes dripped down my chin and onto my black shroud. I wasn't
I'm afraid of death, really. I'm actually dead now. I just can't refuse what Uncle Jiu said to me at the end. The old man sacrificed himself for the comfort of the world, so how can I refuse it?
I kept running like this, and the road in front of me seemed to have no end. I don't know how long I ran, but suddenly a railway appeared in front of me. It was right here. I sat down on the ground, although my heart was calm.
I felt a little tired but still felt uncomfortable. I stretched out my trembling hand and took out a cigarette, and then smoked it one puff at a time. When I turned around and looked around, there was no longer any shadow of the winding mountains in the city. Even the death knell of Fengdu City was gone.
The sound also disappeared.
The world suddenly became quiet. I sat on the ground, and my heart suddenly went blank. I looked at the endless railway in front of me and didn't know what to think. But at this moment, there was a train sound in the distance.
I was very familiar with the sound of the flute. It was the sound of a train that was just one step away. I stood up and looked along the railway. Sure enough, a black spot appeared at the end of the railway. It was getting closer and closer. The black spot
Thick smoke rose from above, rising straight to the sky and blending into the gray sky.
The car came and it was time for me to leave. I smiled bitterly and then looked behind me. Although I could no longer see the city and the winding mountains, I still wiped the blood on my face and said softly: "I will definitely
