Metaphysics, from getting started to giving up

Chapter 70

The old Taoist stroked the goatee under his chin: "I'm getting far away, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Zhou Yi stared at him blankly, not only did he not feel the joy of reuniting after a long absence, but instead he felt resentment for no reason!

The master of Jinshanmen was originally a person who didn't take care of things very much, so he took on the heavy responsibility of developing the entire division at a young age.

When the other children were still pampered by their parents, he was already in charge of the affairs of Jinshanmen by himself.After Master passed away, he was even more busy, and his whole body was squeezed to the extreme.

But now, this old immortal guy is still alive and well?

Zhou Yi suddenly felt complicated. He felt that the former self who had broken his heart for Jinshan Gate and even resorted to forbidden techniques just to continue the inheritance of Jinshan Gate, and now the self who is running around to keep Jinshan Gate is extremely ridiculous.

Seeing that Zhou Yi's expression was not right, the old Taoist was surprised for a moment, and called Zhou Yi again: "Jian Yuan apprentice?"

Xie Qianchou, who was standing with Zhou Yi, had always focused his attention on Zhou Yi. Seeing Zhou Yi's complex expression at this moment, and even vaguely annoyed, thinking about the background the other party told him, he suddenly understood the truth. The reason comes.

Without saying a word, he directly took out the talisman that he had already held in his pocket, and called out the gang sword.

Holding the sword, Xie Qianchou killed the old Taoist who was still wondering about Zhou Yi's reaction.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, you brat?" Seeing Xie Qianchou rushing over, the old Taoist was startled, and quickly dodged to avoid it, "Jianyuan! Is this evil star your companion? Why are you so disrespectful?" Master, this is still getting angry!"

Zhou Yi didn't say a word, he looked at Xie Qianchou, and his mood became more complicated.

Xie Qianchou sneered: "You are the one who hit you, a disrespectful pickle! The piece of paper doesn't want to go against the rules, so I will seek justice on his behalf!"

"What's fair!" The old man didn't know why.

He dodged Xie Qianchou's offensive, considering that the yellow-haired boy was a friend of his apprentice, so it was inconvenient to fight back and teach this guy who deceived his master and exterminated his ancestors a lesson, so he kept running away.Xie Qianchou's strength is far inferior to this old guy who can hunt Qinghuang, and the blade of his sword can't even touch the corner of the opponent's clothes.

Fuck!

Xie Qianchou held his breath, the sky thunder moved on the gang sword, and it was entangled and woven into something like a sword blade, forcibly extending the gang sword which was originally three feet long.

He swung hard!

The old Taoist didn't expect Xie Qianchou to work so hard, he didn't notice for a while, and Xie Qianchou cut off a small piece of goatee abruptly.

Immediately, the beard under his chin was shaved into an inverted trapezoid, which looked very funny.

The beard fell, and the old man was startled. He guessed that if he didn't fight back, the yellow-haired boy could shave his hair bald, so he waved the spirit-calling banner on his shoulder and summoned a strong wind to stop Xie Qian. Qiu's next move.

Xie Qianchou was stopped by the strong wind, and took several steps back with his sword, so as not to be blown to the ground by the wind.

Zhou Yi took a deep breath, suppressed the complexities in his heart, and walked to Xie Qianchou's side.

He patted Xie Qianchou on the shoulder: "Stop it, stop for a while."

Thank you Qianqiu for a slight pause.

The old Taoist was overjoyed immediately: "I'm still cute! This little brat, it doesn't matter how serious you are, poor old Taoist, my beard..."

Who knows that before he finished speaking, Zhou Yi continued: "I'm afraid you will be hurt by this old immortal thing."

Xie Qianchou came up to him and kissed him: "For you, I will die."

The old way: "..."

Coughing hard a few times, the old man put away the embarrassment on his face, and then slowly walked in front of Zhou Yi and Xie Qianchou leaning on the phoenix blood red bead crutch.

Seeing that Zhou Yi's face was gloomy, the old Taoist immediately faltered.

He leaned on a red cane, and then said awkwardly: "Jianyuan, my apprentice, it's been a long time since I saw you. Hmm... yes, I've grown into a spirit."

Zhou Yi was expressionless: "Master, my age is the same as when you passed away."

The old way: "..."

Lowering his eyes, Zhou Yi said again: "Let's find a shelter from the wind first, Master, I have a lot to say... I want to talk to you."

***

The three of them walked on the street for a while, and now it was the dead of night, except for hotels and guest houses, there were almost no shops that were still open on the street.In the end, it was Xie Qianchou who called Elder Xu and begged the other party to open the door for convenience. Only then did he find a place to stay in Elder Xu's antique shop.

At that time, Elder Xu was teaching the idiot apprentice who planned to make colored porcelain because of his carelessness. He suddenly received a call from Xie Qianchou, and he thought for a long time why the other party came out so late.

As a result, when he opened the rolling door, he saw the embarrassing Master of Jinshan Gate, and almost scared away the fly whisk he was holding to beat his disciples.

"This... this... this... you are not..." Elder Xu held back for a long time but could not form a complete sentence.

Zhou Yi bowed to him with a little apology: "This is my master. I have something to discuss. I would like to borrow your shop from Elder Xu. Excuse me."

After Elder Xu asked his apprentice to pour tea, and led Zhou Yi and the three of them to the living room to sit down, Elder Xu looked at the master of Jinshan Gate for a long time, and finally choked out a sentence: "This... The smell is not very good..."

The old Taoist stroked his own beard that was shaved by Xie Qianchou: "Little old man knows what you want to say, don't doubt it, you have a good idea, old Taoist, I am indeed not a living person."

Elder Xu was shocked, and his unlucky apprentice was almost frightened so that he slumped on the ground.

Zhou Yi said: "Master, you are..."

"Don't worry about getting far away, I know you have a lot of questions and deep grievances in your heart, wait for the little old man to explain slowly," the old Taoist stroked his beard again, "Where should I start... Well, let's start from the very beginning." Let me start with divination for the old emperor..."

After Elder Xu and his apprentice tactfully evaded and walked out of the reception tea room, the old Taoist glanced at Xie Qianchou again, and signaled Xie Qianchou to go out with Elder Xu with his eyes.

Xie Qianqiu ignored him.

Although this old man is Zhou Yi's master, Xie Qianchou is also a person who respects his teacher, but thinking that this old guy made Zhou Yi suffer more unnecessary suffering, he can't take it seriously. My respectful heart, I only want to seek justice for Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi secretly reached out to Xie Qianchou, shook hands with him, and comforted his restless lover: "Master is fine, Qianchou is not an outsider."

Being touched by Zhou Yi like this, Xie Qianchou immediately became obedient, and he was pleasantly surprised by Zhou Yi's statement that he was not an outsider, so he put away his unhappiness without saying a word.

The old Taoist looked at his beloved apprentice, and at Xie Qianchou, who had an affair with Zhou Yi, and endured it for a long time before suppressing his doubts.

After his death, Zhou Yi entered the palace to inherit the position of national teacher, so he didn't know the past entanglement between Zhou Yi and Xie Qianchou.

During the period when he was "dead", how could the juicy cabbage in his backyard be crushed by something?

Putting away the weirdness in his heart, the old Taoist spoke slowly, talking about himself with Zhou Yi and Xie Qianchou.

It turned out that after predicting the overthrow of the country for the old emperor, the old Taoist was worried that this matter would offend the old emperor and make him angry at Jinshanmen, so he thought of feigning death, hoping to avoid the old emperor's questioning.

But who knows that he didn't count the time well for this deceit, but he really "died" for several years.

By the time the old Daoist came back to life, Zhou Yi had already been doomed to death by poisoned wine for re-divinating the old emperor and announcing the hexagram of destroying the country.

After Zhou Yi's death, the old Taoist felt very guilty. He always felt that his poor apprentice had suffered the death penalty on his behalf. At the same time, he found Zhou Yi using the forbidden technique in Jinshan Gate. He hoped that after his death, Jinshan Gate would continue. incense.

After all, the old Taoist is Zhou Yi's master, and he is far superior to Zhou Yi in terms of mystical attainments.

At that moment, he calculated that Zhou Yi's death could still be redeemed.

Lao Dao forged his identity, re-entered the palace, and became a member of the staff of Prince Chenghui, who had already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. He planned to use the power of the court to collect some mysterious materials that could save Zhou Yi.

At this moment, Prince Chenghui suddenly announced that he would find a man of insight to call back the soul of a dead person.

The old Taoist moved his mind and took the initiative to recommend himself. Under the wind of Prince Chenghui, he made preparations for Zhou Yi's rebirth.

He countered the forbidden technique used by Zhou Yi, and successfully made Zhou Yi's soul that should have been dissipated gather under the Jiuquan again, and then fooled the prince, and secretly built the prince's mausoleum under the Jinshan Gate. The large formation, condensed dragon energy, made complete preparations for Zhou Yi's resurrection after a thousand years.

The resentful soul of the prince, the continuous reincarnation of the third prince who served as a stand-in to protect Zhou Yi, and even the body of Shikigami that Zhou Yi attached to when he was resurrected... These are all sophisticated arrangements.

After making all the preparations, the old Taoist also cut off his own vitality, and hid in a deep mountain and old forest for a long sleep, waiting to wake up again as a dead body, and meet Zhou Yi who was reincarnated and revived after a thousand years.

Not long ago, he sensed Zhou Yi's existence because of Prince Chenghui's fall into reincarnation, and woke up from his long sleep.

The old Taoist beheaded a green phoenix in the deep mountains of Jiangdu, and with the crutch of the phoenix's blood and red bead, he found Zhou Yi's location, and then rushed to Jindu in a hurry.

It's a pity that Jindu has changed a lot after a thousand years. The old Taoist lost his way, and because he was too stiff to appear in the sun, he had to settle for the next best thing, wandering around the Erma Bridge, selling the leftovers in his hand. Mysterious art pendant, waiting for Zhou Yi to come to the door by himself.

After finishing everything, the old Taoist sighed.

"I'm getting far away, little old man, I'm most worried about you, hey, I'm sorry for you. Do you still remember that I urged you to take over the Jinshanmen when you were young?" the old man said. Sighing, "I always thought that I wanted you to grow up and mature earlier, but I never considered that you were just a child at that time."

Zhou Yi bowed his head and said softly: "Master, I have grown up."

"Hey, I've grown up, I've grown up!" The old man sighed again.

Zhou Yi was also a little emotional. Although he still had some resentment towards his master when they first met, but think about it, the other party is his teacher after all.

Although a little irresponsible and self-righteous, I still miss him.

What is past is also past.

only……

Zhou Yi changed the subject, but said: "The Dragon Sucking Formation is your handwriting, Master?"

"Exactly," the old man stroked his beard again, and his face suddenly became more serious, "However, although I set up this dragon suction formation for you, but now, it seems...someone cut off the beard !"
