C90 (1/2)
I asked, ”Who wants to use me?” ”It's not that someone wants to take advantage of you now, but you should be wary of him. That great deity Hui Tai was indeed looking after this book for Senior Liu, but once this mission ends, it'll mean that there's no relation anymore, and my guess is that he has a contract with Senior Liu. This book is back, the contract is over, and then there'll be no relation between us, who knows if he'll harm us, if he really wants to harm us, then don't expect him to have any sympathy for Senior Liu.”
I broke out in a cold sweat. ”That can't be, Master. I think he's pretty good. Although his actions are abnormal, he shouldn't harm us, right?”
They came from the cultivation of wild animals, and although they could cultivate to the appearance of humans, their nature is always the nature of wild animals. The so-called Immortal Ma is just taking what each needs, and for the sake of one's own cultivation, anything can be done. ”
Master told me to bring a ladle of water and start washing the pots, and said: ”The lower the cultivation of the wild deities, the easier it is for them to take the evil path, because the wild beasts are different from humans, they are used to killing, although we humans eat meat, but there are a few who have personally killed before, the wild beasts are different, for most of them, killing life is their natural instinct, and even preference, they would like to train hard while pursuing longevity, there are a few who are willing to fight in the mountains, if they meet a wild thing, if they want to cultivate to become a wild deity, they want to fight, it's not easy to live ah, if they can kill a few people in exchange for happiness.”
I swallowed my saliva. ”Master, you said that great deity Hui has the intention to kill us?” His Master said, ”Whether or not he has the intention to kill I don't know. I know he doesn't have any intention of hiding the evil aura on his body. He clearly doesn't put us in his eyes at all.”
I asked, ”What does he mean by that little whip he gave me?” His Master said, ”It should have something to do with the fox blood on your body. He saw that you were profitable, so he left behind a keepsake. In the future, he might be able to trade some things with you.” I said, ”What do I have for him?” His Master said, ”Think about it. How did you get fox blood?”
Master's words made my heart churn. Indeed, the fox blood on my body was exchanged with my own blood, and I remembered that at that time, Hu Tai Shuai was interested in my blood and wanted to exchange blood with me. I didn't think that she would agree to help me, but no matter how I looked at it, it seemed like it was a transaction between two businessmen.
Master boiled some water and poured it into a thermos. ”Alright,” she said to me, ”you should go to bed early.
I climbed the stairs and lay down. The news of my seniors coming made me feel a bit happier, but I couldn't help but think, was it really just a trade between Immortal Ma and the Wild Immortal? Then, is it the same for me and Chang Tianba as well?
When I woke up early the next morning, Master and the rest were already preparing to eat. I washed my face and randomly ate a few mouthfuls. I kept thinking about Senior Brother, and the more I thought about it, the happier I got.
After dinner, Master looked at his watch and saw that the car was about to arrive. He took me to the train station to receive it. I asked Senior Sister if she wanted to go. She said lightly, ”I'm not going. I'm suddenly a little tired.” Then he went upstairs.
When Master and I arrived at the train station, it was almost eight o'clock. I asked Master, ”What time did Senior Brother and the rest arrive? I can't wait to see them.” His Master took a drag from her cigarette and said, ”Ten o'clock.” I said, ”It can't be, Master. What are we doing out so early for a 10 o'clock car?”
His Master said, ”Haozi, Master has something he wants to say to you. This is also a chance.” I said, ”Master, what do you want to say to me?” My master lovingly touched my head and slowly said, ”Haozi, you're almost sixteen. You don't look big, but you look like you're not small. Actually, I knew about you since you were young. You probably won't remember the first time we met.”
I said, ”Remember, Grandma Liu brought me to see you for the first time when she was fighting the flood.” His Master shook his head and said, ”No, I've seen you at Senior Liu's house since you were young. But you fell asleep at that time, Senior Liu told me a lot of things about you.”
”Senior Liu told me that we had a Master and disciple relationship, and I have always believed her words, so I took you as my disciple at that time. Haozi, your life was too bitter, Senior Liu said that you were the reincarnation of a boy from heaven, so it's not a big deal. At most, there would be some minor disasters, but Senior Liu just said that you wouldn't live past three years.”
I said, ”That can't be, Master. Then I can still live for so long.” There are many things that are destined and difficult to change. Senior Liu knows that you andhe have a deep affinity, so she wanted to save your life, but doing so would go against the rules of the heaven, so she ended her life long ago. Otherwise, she wouldn't have died at the age of 72.
I said, ”Master, didn't Grandma Liu do it to deal with that dragon …” His Master said, ”That's right, it seems to be so. But the current era is an era where the spiritual energy is exhausted, and the Black Scaly Dragon is an extremely rare godly being that has achieved human nature in a hundred years, so why would it appear in front of people and fight to the death with humans? Its goal was something Senior Liu had other ways to drive the dragon away at that time, and she could tell that the dragon's target was you.”
