Listening to what Old Man Yin said, I didn't know what to say for a moment.
Please advise him not to go. He will definitely not listen to me, a stupid young man.
But if I don't persuade him, listening to what he said, I feel that it will be difficult for him to come back now that he leaves...
I gritted my teeth and stared at Old Man Yin, feeling a little depressed!
But when Old Man Yin took a sip of wine, he laughed to himself.
"Why are you laughing? You are already going to die. How can you still laugh?" I said.
Old Man Yin shook his head and said with a smile: "Silly boy, don't say that my cheap master didn't teach you something. I'm telling you, as long as there is something in your heart that can make you go through fire and water, then death is not a problem.
It’s not scary anymore…”
Old Man Yin's words were very straightforward. I frowned, not knowing how to answer him.
After a few minutes, Old Man Yin patted my shoulder and handed me the wine bottle in his hand.
"Drink it, you may not have the chance to drink it again."
"Crow Zui, I'm waiting for you to come back!"
I took a sip directly into my mouth. This old man Yin's wine was so unpalatable that it made me cough.
"I'm leaving. Boy, take good care of Xue'er. If you dare to bully her, be careful and I'll settle the score with you!"
Old man Yin tied the wine bottle to his belt, said something to me and left immediately.
I looked at Old Man Yin's leaving figure, and suddenly my heart felt heavy.
…………
The news of Old Man Yin's departure was very secret, and I didn't tell anyone except me.
Two days later, being impatient and restless, I finally took advantage of Uncle Quan's presence in the incineration room to tell Uncle Quan about my cheap master, Old Man Yin, who had gone to rescue Mrs. Hua.
As soon as I finished speaking, Uncle Quan's face immediately changed slightly!
"When did he leave?"
"Two days ago."
A flash of surprise flashed in Uncle Quan's eyes, as if he was a little unable to react in time to the sudden departure of his old friend.
Uncle Quan paused and asked me, "Did he say anything to you when he left?"
I hesitated for a moment and then told Uncle Quan exactly what Old Man Yin said to me that day.
Among them are those words that Old Man Yin asked me to take good care of her baby daughter Xueer...
As soon as I finished speaking, Uncle Quan seemed to be lost in thought!
But at this moment, suddenly, I heard Xiao Yuqi's voice coming from outside the incineration room.
"Sister Xue'er, why are you standing at the door and not going in?"
When Xiao Yuqi's voice fell, my heart suddenly sank!
I secretly screamed, and when I looked back, I saw Fang Xueer standing at the door of the incineration room.
I was at a loss for a moment, but Fang Xueer already had tears in her eyes.
"Brother Ling Feng, I heard what you just said. Am I really his daughter?" Fang Xueer asked me word by word, staring at me.
I felt a little confused all of a sudden, and my scalp felt numb!
Damn it, how could I be so careless and not realize that Fang Xueer was at the door!
Now it's okay, she heard everything I said to Uncle Quan. The fact that Old Man Yin is her father can't be hidden 100%.
I gritted my teeth and was silent for a while before Fang Xueer nodded.
When I nodded, the tears in Fang Xueer's eyes fell down like a kite that had lost its string, prompting Xiao Yuqi to quickly ask her what was wrong.
While wiping her tears, Fang Xueer walked in and asked me: "Why haven't I seen my mother, and why didn't he tell me earlier? Why? Why did he hide it from me alone..."
Fang Xueer threw out several whys in a row, but I couldn't answer any of them.
Let alone me, I guess even Old Man Yin himself can't explain what's going on here. How can I, an outsider, explain it?
I smiled bitterly and immediately stood in front of Fang Xueer.
"Stop crying." I said softly, but Fang Xueer's eyes became even redder.
I looked at Fang Xueer in front of me, who was one year younger than me, beautiful and innocent, and I couldn't help but reach out and wipe the tears from her face.
Fang Xueer's face was very smooth, and I wiped away the tears carefully, but her look of pear blossoms with rain made me feel even more distressed.
"Brother Ling Feng, can I ask you something?" Fang Xueer raised her head and suddenly said.
I was stunned for a moment. The artistic conception of Fang Xueer talking to Old Man Yin was too similar...
I nodded and said, "As long as I can do it, I promise you."
Fang Xueer's eyes turned red and she said, "Take me to find my parents, please? I want to see them."
"Uh!" I hesitated for a moment, so I just stood there.
Fang Xueer's face showed a bit of disappointment, and her big eyes that finally wiped away the tears became a bit foggy again...
I looked back at Uncle Quan behind me and found that the expression on his face was also a bit complicated.
I knew in my heart that the place Old Man Yin went to must be full of dangers. He himself thought it was a narrow escape from death. If we went there, we would only be a drag on him.
But people are sometimes strange creatures. Even if they know that there is extreme danger ahead, they can still fight for the family ties that are related by blood without hesitation.
And this is the case with Fang Xueer. Even though she has never really met her biological mother, Mrs. Hua, even though she has laughed in front of her several times and called Old Man Yin a troublemaker, after knowing the truth, she still did it.
He took an action that I found surprising but also reasonable.
Fang Xueer came to Uncle Quan and begged Uncle Quan with tears in her eyes to tell her about the place where her father and mother were.
Uncle Quan said nothing, and his expression looked a little grim.
"Uncle Quan, please tell me where they are. I want to see them. I don't want to never see them again."
"I want to see my parents, I want to call him dad...Uncle Quan, please be okay?"
Fang Xueer's eyes were already red from crying. Listening to those sad words, even I couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"That place is very dangerous. The less people go there, the better." Uncle Quan said.
"No, I want to go, I want to take a look at them, I'm afraid I'll never see them again..." Fang Xueer cried.
Uncle Quan fell into silence, seeming to be hesitating.
Fang Xueer's cry made me feel heartbroken. After a while, I gritted my teeth and took the initiative to walk in front of Uncle Quan.
"Uncle Quan, I'll go with Xue'er!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Fang Xueer beside me turned around and stared at me, her eyes filled with tears.
"Brother Ling Feng, is what you said true?"
"Yeah, really." I said firmly.
Fang Xueer's eyes were filled with tears, and she said with a crying voice: "Thank you, Brother Ling Feng."
After I also spoke, Uncle Quan was finally a little shaken.
After a while, Uncle Quan finally let go.
Uncle Quan said that he also knew some things about my cheap master, Old Man Yin. It is said that Old Man Yin was considered a generation of young talents on Maoshan Mountain.
From subduing demons to slaying demons, to pretending to pick up girls, Old Man Yin can be said to be omnipotent, but it happened that the man who was considered the most promising leader of Maoshan fell in love with someone he shouldn't have loved.
Maoshan is the right way, and it is the duty of every Maoshan Taoist priest to subjugate demons.
But the old man Yin, who acted as the face of Maoshan back then, fell in love with a woman who was not a normal human being, and not even committed to a life-long private relationship. How could this not be shocking?
Uncle Quan said that when the marriage between Old Man Yin and Mrs. Hua came to light, it immediately angered many old people in Maoshan. They all thought that Old Man Yin was self-destructive and actually had a love affair with a witch, which undoubtedly made them angry.
The entire Maoshan Mountain looked dull.
So in the end, with the emergence of the genicide incident, Old Man Yin suddenly became the biggest suspect. Even if the evidence was not conclusive, it caused everyone in Maoshan to regard him as the culprit of the genicide. As a result, Old Man Yin was later blamed
Guilt sealed him in the Demon Suppression Tower for twenty years.
Ultimately, the reason for all this is that a Taoist priest who was supposed to kill demons fell in love with a witch who was regarded as evil...
If I hadn't heard Uncle Quan tell us these things about those years, I wouldn't have believed that old man Yin, who only drank wine, could actually have such a vigorous love.
And now that I think about it, I understand to some extent why Old Man Yin still went out of his way to save Mrs. Hua despite knowing that he was going to die.
