He lost his tetsuji, which is equivalent to decades of Taoist practice, all gone in one day.
Without the abundant Erwu Essence, one is depleted and one's lifespan is greatly affected.
I didn't say anything for a long time, and finally sighed heavily.
"Great Elder, I originally wanted to say, why are you bothering?"
"But those words insulted your will. Yin Yang admires your tenacity."
"You, come with me to live in Feng Village, and let Zhi'er and my son Dunkong take care of you."
Liu Tianniu shook his head. He picked up the chopsticks and started eating porridge and picking up vegetables.
Yang Qingshan also picked up the chopsticks and picked up vegetables to eat with Liu Tianniu.
I stood up, clasped my fists, and bowed to ask Liu Tianniu for permission.
After a long time, Liu Tianniu finished his meal and put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Yin Yang, if one day you have the same heart as me, you will feel that a small courtyard with a few children in a small mountain village is the last peace you want."
"I have taught many disciples in my life, and I am most proud of three of them."
"Sanyuan is sharp, but he is too courageous. If it weren't for you and Mr. Jiang, he might have been eliminated by me."
"Zhengdao is my son. He lives up to his name, but I didn't expect him to be so extreme. He just ran away. He also wants to kill him back and turn the Qiang people upside down."
"As for turning into smoke..." Liu Tianniu shook his head and sighed softly: "She is too confident, just like me when I am young. When I am confident, I only believe in myself. If she goes on smoothly, it will be fine. If she goes astray, , I’m afraid it won’t end well.”
"I failed very much. I failed to teach my son and disciples well. Before I ran out of money, I still wanted to teach some more children."
After Liu Tianniu said these words, he gathered up the bowls and chopsticks and walked towards the kitchen.
Yang Qingshan stood up, looked at me sideways, and after a long time, he said: "Let's go."
I frowned.
Because I can't fully empathize with Liu Tianniu's words.
However, it is impossible for us to change Liu Tianniu's belief.
Turning around, Yang Qingshan and I walked out of the house.
Yang Qingshan turned around, but he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times into the room.
I was stunned for a moment.
Yang Qingshan’s kowtow was something I didn’t expect at all…
"In this world, there are many people who follow their own paths. My father followed the same path. Master followed the same path. Former Great Elder, you followed the path of destiny."
"As you said, everything is for the Qiang people."
"Yang Qingshan will also sacrifice himself for the sake of the Qiang people, just like you." Yang Qingshan's words were extremely serious.
I saw Liu Tianniu return to the door of the side room, and he looked at Yang Qingshan thoughtfully.
However, Liu Tianniu did not speak again.
After a while, Yang Qingshan stood up. He no longer hesitated and turned around and walked towards the yard.
I paused for a long time and bowed to Liu Tianniu again.
"I will bring Zhi'er and Dunkong here to salute you. If you don't want to leave here, I will ask Dunkong Duo to serve you."
Liu Tianniu didn't answer.
I stepped back and followed Yang Qingshan back to the courtyard.
Liu Zhengdao was still kneeling on the ground, and he never got up.
"Taoist Master Liu..." I sighed softly and said, "The Great Elder has made up his mind."
Liu Zhengdao didn't answer me, he still knelt still.
I know in my heart that persuasion is useless.
Every Liu family Taoist priest has his or her own tenacious beliefs.
This must wait for Liu Zhengdao to figure it out himself.
"Within three days, I plan to join forces with the ghost lady of the He family to deal with the water ghouls in Yangjiang River. If Taoist Master Liu can figure it out, he will come to me."
I finished saying this again, and then I signaled Yang Qingshan to leave with me.
After leaving the village, Yang Qingshan's horse followed us.
But this time, Yang Qingshan made no move to mount his horse.
After walking for a while, Yang Qingshan turned to look at me.
He said: "I roughly understand what you mean."
Yang Qingshan and I looked at each other.
Silence, I didn't speak.
I want Yang Qingshan to be taught and changed by Liu Tianniu after meeting him.
Although I didn't achieve what I wanted, Liu Tianniu lost his hands.
However, Yang Qingshan has been affected by Liu Tianniu's beliefs.
Otherwise he would not kneel down and worship.
"Master's request is the same as that of the former Great Elder, and it is for the Qiang people."
"But now, I'm not sure what my father thinks. I want to go back." Yang Qingshan said.
I frowned slightly.
At this time, I hesitated slightly. It was a matter of time. I had no intention of letting Yang Qingshan go now.
Before I could speak, Yang Qingshan spoke again: "You are hesitating about the matter of burying the shadow and watching the mountains, but you don't need to tell me now. On this return trip, I need to ask my father a few things. What you said Maybe it’s not a lie.”
"Is there some misunderstanding? I need to find out."
"After that, I will come to you. If necessary, you can tell me the whereabouts of Burying Shadow Mountain."
I nodded and said, "Okay."
When I looked at Yang Qingshan's eyes again, there was something profound about him.
"Be careful." I raised my hand and patted Yang Qingshan on the shoulder.
"Huh?" Yang Qingshan glanced at me again.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
"I thought you would let me stay for a while." Yang Qingshan shook his head, and his tone had some other meaning that I couldn't tell.
"Since you said you wanted to leave, I can't restrain your thoughts. Besides, I can't restrain you." I said truthfully.
Yang Qingshan smiled, stretched out his hand to stroke the horse's mane, and looked up at the sky.
"When I meet a master, he talks about yin and yang. He builds a golden tomb hall everywhere. He doesn't make lies based on the immortal scriptures. He calls himself Yang based on his own opinion."
"Li Yinyang, I will come to you again."
After saying this, Yang Qingshan jumped on the horse, raised his whip, and slapped the horse's buttocks hard.
With a neigh, the horse turned into an afterimage and quickly disappeared from my sight.
I stood in the distance for a long time.
Inexplicably, I felt a sense of farewell and sadness.
I haven’t been in contact with Yang Qingshan for a long time, but I do regard him as a good friend.
But I don’t know when he will return from this trip.
If there was a conflict between him and Qiu Tianyuan, would he be able to protect himself?
The tiger's poison does not eat its seeds. This matter does not seem to be true for Qiu Tianyuan.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the moonlight was shining, revealing an indescribable loneliness.
I stopped delaying and returned in the direction of Fengcun.
By the time I returned to Fengcun, it was late at night again.
He Zhi is still waiting for me.
She felt a little unnatural and asked me in a low voice what happened? How is the great elder?
I paused and then said everything about today.
He Zhi looked at me blankly and murmured: "Abandoning Taoism?"
She lowered her head and remained silent, saying: "After the water ghoul issue is resolved, I will take Dunkong to see the great elder and ask Dunkong to perform the junior salute."
I said a good word.
At this time, He Zhi raised his head slightly unnaturally and whispered: "But I still feel that something is wrong..."
"Where is Liu Huayan? In this case, why is she not with the great elder?"
