The salted fish attack made the master carry the cub

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zong Wuxiu frowned slightly, staring at the young man with a bit of sternness in his eyes.

In the past, when Qi Wushen made mistakes, the master's eyes would only be slightly reprimanded; later, when he made more progress, the master's displeased eyes were mixed with a bit of resentment.

But now, the displeasure in the eyes is obvious, and the tone is also cold, pushing the distance between the two of them at once.

"Master, isn't he going to abandon me?" The young man said in a low tone, with a sharp nose, "The heart of a thousand-year-old tree can reshape the heart of Taoism, so as to gain a chance of life, Master will go to the village tomorrow, right?"

"..."

As the little apprentice spoke, his voice became lower and lower. At first, his tone was quite stable, but in the end he even cried in a suppressed voice.

"What nonsense?" Zong Wu frowned. He himself lacked love and love, and couldn't understand the emotions of the young apprentice, let alone what to do, and was even at a loss.

Qi Wushen raised his hand to wipe his eye sockets, what he was doing couldn't be more obvious.

Zong Wu waited quietly, originally planning to wait for the young apprentice to stabilize before speaking, but because he didn't know what to say, the young apprentice preempted him again.

"Master, why did you accept me as an apprentice back then?"

"..."

Zong Wu paused for a moment: "I promised your father to take care of you." In fact, there are other reasons, but he still can't explain all his mental journey back then.

Just know, think, and do it.

But Qi Wushen was obviously dissatisfied with this answer.

"How did Master meet my father?"

According to the regulations of Jiuchongtian, immortals cannot blatantly show themselves in front of mortals. Zong Wu mentioned meeting his father once before, but he didn't ask about it at that time, and only now thought of it again.

"En." Zong Wuqian responded, and said again, "I was entrusted by someone to search for someone in the lower realm. I met your father and was recognized." The tone was understated.

The boy's voice became a little deeper, "So...is that all?"

The voice is very soft, mixed with the chirping of cicadas in summer, even a little vague, like talking to himself, or talking in a dream while half asleep.

With the existence of the child, and the care of the master for him, in the past, Qi Wushen could believe that there was a future between them, and that he would have a chance of life if he hid the plastic pill, but now...

He had already walked 99 steps, but Master was unwilling to take that step.He tried his best to have a future with Master, but Master never seemed to change.

So, the child was just an accident. Was it his wishful thinking that Master treated him well in the past?

It's because he thinks too much, so we can't blame Master for thinking too little.

The young man showed a sneering smile, which was aimed at himself.

Zong Wu: "Actually, I..."

"I see, Master."

Qi Wushen's voice suddenly raised, clear and transparent, as if waking up from a sweet dream.

"What do you know?" Zong Wu frowned.

However, the boy didn't say anything, and quickly hugged Zong Wu without emotion or desire.He forced a smile and said "good night", then hurried back to the room.

What's the big deal, after sleeping and waking up, nothing will happen.

Qi Wushen went back to the room without looking back.

-

Xia Chan chirped, the shadows of the trees were heavy, and Zong Wu stood under the tree with his brows frowned, half-dissolved in the darkness.

The forest bird was startled, and the flamingo jumped down from the branch.

It was there early in the morning and could hear the cause and effect clearly, but the young man seemed to have something on his mind and didn't notice its existence at all.

Bai Bai walked in front of Zong Wu.

"Didn't you tell him about that? Why didn't you say it?"

"No opportunity found."

"What's the matter with him?" The flamingo raised its beak and pointed to the yard, who is usually the most heartless person, but today he doesn't know what's wrong.

Zong Wu: "I don't know."

"Aren't you asking?"

"..." He really thought about it, but he didn't know how to ask. He shook his head for a moment and said, "Let's go and settle the important things first. Maybe after I come back, I will know how to speak."

The flamingo pointed to the note in Zong Wu's hand with its long beak: "What about this one?"

"Let's talk about it later." He put away his things, rode on the flamingo, and said, "Have you found the place yet?"

"I'll take care of things, don't worry." Although it only lasted for a few hours, it has been active around this house for the past few months, and it is very familiar with the terrain within a radius of more than ten miles.

The flamingo shook its body, and after confirming that Zong Wu was seated, he was ready to spread his wings and take off. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask: "Are you sure you want to do this? You won't regret it?"

"En." Zong Wuqian responded.

The flamingo replied: "That's right, you should have done this long ago."

Spreading its fiery red wings, it flew towards the green mountains a few miles away.

-

On the other side, Qi Wushen tossed and turned on the bed.

Although it was easy to leave just now, several thoughts were constantly fighting in my mind at this time.

Idea [-]: The child is his, and the master is his.

Thought [-]: Listen to Master, Master does not want him.

Thought [-]: You can’t cultivate in the way of ruthlessness, and the master doesn’t know what he wants at all, so he has to work hard to let the master know.

Thought [-]: It’s useless to try hard. The master’s kindness to him is only because of his father’s entrustment. He is nothing in the master’s heart.

……

Messy thoughts fought in his mind, mixed with Nan Tianzun's and Huasheng Daozun's entrustment from time to time.

Sometimes he thought that's it, and sometimes he thought, go and cut the tree now.Master will definitely be angry if he finds out about the Dao Pill hidden in plastic in the future. Is he still afraid of cutting down more trees?

The mind was filled with all kinds of strange thoughts, and the boy suddenly remembered something.

Just now the master was fully dressed and even wore a long robe, so he clearly wanted to go out.

No way?No way?

He was still debating whether to cut down the tree, maybe now the master has obtained the heart of the thousand-year-old tree.

A sense of crisis arose spontaneously, and the previous messy thoughts were cleared away. The young man quickly got up and walked along the house.

The master was not in the room, and Xiaozhu and the others didn't see it either.

"Tree, tree, tree!"

"Eh? Little fairy, where are you going?"

Xiaozhu was still asking behind him, but the young man had no time to answer, and disappeared into the bamboo forest with a lantern in his hand.

"What tree is he looking for?"

"I-I don't know either."

-

At night in Daizui Village, every doorway was lit with lanterns, Qi Wushen went straight to the ancestral hall, and almost bumped into a child running around in front of the house on the way.

"Hey, are you from the village? What are you doing!"

The black light was blind, and Nan`feng couldn't see his appearance clearly. He thought that bad guys had entered the village, and they took farm tools and followed him, forcing the young man to stop and explain to him.

"It's just...there is a tree in the ancestral hall." The young man panicked, and then he remembered that he didn't need to speak in such detail, and changed his words, "Uncle, your house is far from the entrance of the village, did you see anyone enter the village just now? "

He briefly described the appearance of the master in two sentences, and compared his height: "Do you see the one in the red coat?"

Qi Wushen asked a question, but he spoke too hastily, the man's attention was obviously still on the previous sentence.

"Oh, you said that tree, it's just a children's prank."

"..."

Qi Wushen was stuck for a moment, and asked the man to explain this matter clearly.

"Isn't it because the village head saw that the tree sprouted suddenly, so he thought it was a bad omen, but after asking someone to look at it, he found that there was no evil spirit. Is it a good thing?"

Qi Wushen nodded, he had heard this passage from several people.

I only heard the man continue: "After those people left, the village chief thought that since it was a good omen, he had to protect it well, so as not to be bumped into anything. Then he arranged a few people to circle around the tree A fence around. And you're guessing what?"

The man played tricks on purpose, and even laughed out loud, which made the young man confused, so he only urged him to continue talking.

"While surrounding the tree, someone thought that since it was a good omen, it might be a good omen to sneak a peek at the sprouts. The tree was also strange. Although it germinated, it didn't germinate at the tip, but in the middle. As a result, people touched it. After touching the new bud, the new bud fell off directly, which shocked him a lot. After a closer look, what kind of new bud was that? It was clearly a fake branch with the words "Come here for a visit" written on it. When the children were playing, they climbed up the masterpiece left by the tree. "

"..."

"..."

"..."

Qi Wushen's heart that was hanging in the air suddenly dropped, and even gave birth to a strange feeling of absurdity.It was also thanks to him to seek proof, otherwise he might be so tangled up that he couldn't sleep all night because of the thousand-year-old tree heart that didn't exist at all.

only……

Didn't Master go out to find a tree?

Where will he go then?

The young man chatted with his elder brother again to confirm that the master had not come here, and he walked around the village a few times in peace before embarking on his return journey.

-

In the mountains near Daizui Village, there is a hot spring.Surrounded by lush trees and shade, it is the place where one can find the most spiritual power in a radius of more than ten miles.

Zong Wu took off his outer shirt and slowly stepped into the water. His spiritual power nourished his spleen and made him feel much more comfortable.

"Here." The flamingo stepped forward and put the object in Zong Wu's hand.Exquisite wooden box with three small words "Xishuidan" on it.

Zong Wu took the box and gently opened it. Behind the rush of spiritual power was a note left by Nan Tianzun.

——"Although senior brother also hopes that you can abolish Dao, the final decision depends on yourself. Also, remember the consequences after taking this pill. You have suppressed your emotions and desires all year round. After abolishing Dao, there will be a backlash effect. In the short term, you will be more sensitive than ordinary people, feel more emotions, and may run away with spiritual power."

Zong Wu didn't tell the whole truth before, the pain caused by the Xisui Pill is a trivial matter, the spiritual power comes from the heart of the Dao, destroying the Dao and then rebuilding it, the real problem is the possible runaway of the spiritual power.

He was worried that the rampage of spiritual power would hurt others, so now he wanted to find a secluded place where no one was around.

The same is true of what he wanted to tell the little apprentice just now.Inform the other party that he may be away for a few days, and hope that the little apprentice will not worry, but he has not found an opportunity.

"You won't regret it, will you?" The flamingo on the side poked its head out, and Mung Dou's small eyes reflected suspicion.

It knows Zong Wu's attachment to the ruthless way better than ordinary people. Seeing Zong Wu staring at the little pill for so long, he can't help but have such doubts.

"No." Zong Wu shook his head.

He took a deep breath, picked up the marrow washing pill and put it in his mouth.The pill was bitter at first and then astringent, and as it melted, a huge spiritual power that could twist the seven meridians and eight channels erupted in his body.

The internal organs seemed to be tightly clenched by one hand, and the pain seized all the sensations in the whole body. Countless fragments of emotions and memories came in my mind, making it even more unbearable. At this moment——

"Master!"

Zong Wu turned his head abruptly, and the familiar indigo figure trotted towards him, just a glance from a distance, but seemed to be separated by thousands of years.

Because of the pain, the fingertips were still trembling slightly, but the five fingers holding the chest suddenly tightened.

Zong Wu wanted to say something, but a more violent wave of emotions came overwhelmingly with his memory, making him unable to move.
