As soon as the old man came back, he had a playful and smiling face. Uncle Hu Zi and I didn't even look at him seriously.
The reason is very simple. When he left last time, without saying a word, he took away all the wealth that Uncle Huzi and I had saved up with great difficulty. He didn’t leave us a penny. He simply tricked his apprentices into grandma’s house. .
I don’t know how he has the nerve to come back so shamelessly?
"Is my good disciple planning to go back to his hometown?" The old man was wearing tattered clothes, picking his nose, and walked towards me.
"Hey, you rare guest, what kind of wind brought you here today?" I glanced at him and moved things to the car.
Uncle Hu Zi was more direct. He covered his face with a box and deliberately bumped the old man with his shoulder: "Give way, give way. I won't be responsible if my arms and legs are broken."
"Come on, Hu Zi, I'll help you move it." The old man suddenly became attentive and was about to take the box from Uncle Hu Zi.
Uncle Hu Zi slapped the box on the ground angrily: "No need. If you want to help, there is nothing better than returning the money you took away with us before."
"What kind of money? I don't owe you anything." The old man curled his lips and looked like a rogue.
"Old man, stop pretending. You cheated us out of more than 20 million yuan. Don't tell me that all the money was spent." I said angrily.
"I don't have any money, and I won't give you my life. I really spent all the money." The old man chuckled.
"You spent it all, what did you do with it?" Uncle Huzi said in disbelief.
"Don't worry about it. I can spend my own money however I want."
"How can you have the nerve to say that it's your money? I worked hard and almost died several times to get this money, and you've lost it all less than a year after I left? People say that a prodigal is a prodigal. , I have never heard of a prodigal master." I said in shock.
"Look, your skills were all taught to you by a poor Taoist. Isn't the money you earn my money? If I hadn't taught you those skills, where would you have earned so much money? You kid said yes No?" the old man said plausibly.
I took a deep breath and could only endure it: "Okay, I guess you are right. You came back just in time. Let's take care of the house at home. Uncle Hu Zi and I will go back to our hometown. The ten-year appointment has arrived."
At this time, the old man suddenly straightened his face and said seriously: "This is exactly why I came here as a teacher."
"You're not going to let me go home, are you?" I was shocked when I saw something wrong with his face.
"I can't stop you from going home to be a teacher, but there are a few things you must do as I say." The old man looked straight at me.
"You say."
"When I brought you out from Jiushan Village as a disciple, I told your parents that after ten years, you can go home to reunite with them, but you can't stay at home for more than three days. You must do this arrive."
"Why? I've been waiting for ten years, and you just let me stay at home for three days?" I couldn't accept it.
"There is no reason. I told you that you must do as I say." The old man said solemnly.
"Is there anything else you want to say?" I asked.
"Yes, the second thing is that I must remind you that although the ten-year appointment has come and you can go home to visit, you can only go home once a year in the future, and you cannot be home for more than three days at a time. "
"The third thing is, after returning home, you are not allowed to enter the room or sleep in the bedroom. You must abide by what my teacher told you, otherwise the consequences will be serious."
Each of these conditions is more stringent than the last. I can tolerate not being able to stay home for more than three days, and I can accept going home once a year. However, when I finally returned home, I couldn’t even enter the house, and I couldn’t even leave the house. If you sleep in the house, do you still call it home?
"Master, why is this?" When I thought about these conditions proposed by Master, I suddenly felt very aggrieved and my eyes became red.
Uncle Hu Zi on the side couldn't help but said: "Master, you are bullying Xiao Jie too much. He has been waiting for ten years and finally came home. If he can't have a meal and chat with his parents in the house, then go back What’s the point?”
Master sighed, looked at me and said: "It's not that I want to make things difficult for you, it's destiny. From the moment you were born, you were different from ordinary people. You were burdened with eighteen tribulations, and tribulations cost people's lives. You are not one of the nine." Mountain village, you shouldn’t even come to this world. Now that you have survived, there are some rules you must abide by. If you want your family to live well, if you don’t want to lose them, just do what the teacher says. The teacher is It won’t hurt you.”
I took a deep breath again, I didn't know what my fate was.
Sometimes, I think my luck is really good. I met good friends like Sloppy Taoist and Yuan Kong, who risked their lives to help me. I also got so many magic weapons by chance, but now, I Suddenly I feel that I am the most miserable person in the world. I have a home that I cannot return to, and I cannot enter my own house. Whenever I encounter a catastrophe, my skin will peel off even if I die.
If I could use everything I have now, including my cultivation, money, and everything else on my body, to be just an ordinary person, I would be willing to do so.
But I can't do it, and I don't have this opportunity. When I don't have the ability to change my destiny, I can only obey and choose to surrender.
I looked at Master, and the tears that were held in my eyes never fell. Finally, I nodded and said, "Okay Master, I will do everything you say. I just want to go home and see. I have been here for ten years." I don’t see them anymore and I miss them.”
"Go, remember what I said to my teacher, don't leave for more than three days, and return to Yanbei as soon as possible."
"Master, don't you go back with me and have a look?" I asked tentatively.
The master shook his head: "I won't go as a teacher. This time I come back just to tell you these things. I will be leaving soon. I don't know when I will come back. You and Huzi have to take care of yourselves."
As he said that, Master patted me lightly on the shoulder.
I nodded, still very touched, and then got into the car with Uncle Hu Zi, ready to set off.
Before the car could start, without thinking, the old man leaned his head over again and smiled at me: "My good disciple, I have been away from home for almost a year, and I have saved a lot of money. Recently, I have been working as a teacher." The teacher is at hand..."
"Uncle Huzi, drive!"
"boom!"
Before I could finish my words, Uncle Hu Zi kicked the accelerator out, and thick black smoke came out from behind the extended Lincoln, wrapping the old man's son completely.
The friendship between master and disciple that had just arisen in my heart was completely wiped out by his words.
