I nodded, but I couldn't restrain my doubts in my eyes.
Liu Tianniu, changing my subject.
"Dunkong, why don't you bow to the great elder?" I whispered.
Dunkong immediately dusted his sleeves and saluted Liu Tianniu.
I continued to speak again and whispered: "Zhengdao Taoist Master..."
Liu Tianniu ignored me. He looked at Dunkong with a more peaceful expression and said, "My child, come with me."
Dunkong looked at me slightly hesitantly and uneasily.
My frown deepened.
But I could only nod.
Liu Tianniu led Dun Kong in another direction, and I followed behind him.
We arrived at the house where Liu Tianniu took me and Yang Qingshan to dinner last time.
Liu Tianniu motioned for Dunkong to sit down.
After Dunkong sat down, he was still a little uneasy.
Liu Tianniu turned around and entered the room.
After a while, he came out again, holding something in his hand, which was an old thick hemp rope.
He placed the hemp rope in front of Dun Kong.
Dunkong looked at the rope blankly, and I was a little confused.
"Child, take this rope and go out from the back of the village. There is a low mountain outside. After you go there, you will understand."
Liu Tianniu said peacefully.
Dunkong turned to look at me again, obviously questioning me.
I nodded and signaled Dunkong to listen to Liu Tianniu's words.
He immediately stood up, took the piece of thick hemp rope, turned around and left the house.
After Dunkong left for a long time, Liu Tianniu was still looking at the door.
I took a deep breath and could no longer suppress my doubts. I whispered: "Great Elder, I..."
"Zhengdao, let's go." Liu Tianniu interrupted me with a sigh.
My expression changed slightly and I asked, "Where have you been?"
"Go find the Huayan." Liu Tianniu said again.
My pupils tightened and I wanted to speak again.
Liu Tianniu shook his head and said, "This matter is the Liu family's business, so don't ask any more questions."
"Zhengdao, this kid, is too stubborn, especially now."
"I need to give you some advice." Liu Tianniu looked at me with a much deeper look.
"Great Elder... you just say it's okay." I cupped my hands as a salute.
Liu Tianniu then said: "Dunkong, this child, has extremely good bones. Zhengdao told me some things, but now I look at him, and he is too obedient to your words. A child who is too obedient will indeed win the favor of his parents. "
"But, if something happens in the future, he won't want to listen to you and will become very rebellious. You can't persuade him."
"Let him want to do his own thing, and you just guide him. This is how he has been taught."
My body stiffened.
Liu Tianniu's words really spoke to me.
Dunkong is indeed very obedient.
But I don’t know what Dunkong wants to do.
Also, is he implying that Liu Zhengdao was once as obedient as Dunkong? !
Now he can't control Liu Zhengdao's rebellion? !
But Liu Zhengdao went to Liu Huayan, why was he rebelling?
I took a deep breath and asked again.
"Great Elder, I will pay attention to the matter of Dunkong, but I still want to ask about the matter of the Zhengdao Priest."
"He went to find Hua Yan. I'm afraid it was something you didn't allow, so he kept kneeling in the courtyard, right?"
Liu Tianniu was silent for a moment and nodded.
"Liu Huayan also did something rebellious?" I asked again.
This is actually something that suddenly occurred to me. If it were normal, Liu Zhengdao would go to Liu Huayan, then why would Liu Tianniu refuse? !
There is only one possibility.
Liu Zhengdao didn't go to Liu Huayan with good intentions.
As for Liu Tianniu, Liu Huayan was his direct disciple, and Liu Zhengdao was his own son.
If Liu Zhengdao wants to do something decisive, Liu Tianniu will definitely not accept it, and naturally he will not let Liu Zhengdao go to Liu Huayan...
Liu Zhengdao is kneeling here to get Liu Tianniu's permission...
Now that he is leaving directly, Liu Tianniu must not have agreed...
And Liu Zhengdao would not attack Liu Huayan out of nowhere. Only Liu Huayan did something rebellious and rebellious, which would make Liu Zhengdao do this!
After thinking about this clearly in an instant, my eyes became much sharper!
Liu Tianniu's expression became extremely complicated.
He sighed again, and after a long time, he said: "Do you still remember the hexagram from back then? The hexagram about turning into smoke."
"Ying Gua."
My body stiffened again.
Soon, I recalled the prediction I had made for Liu Huayan.
"He Xiaoxiao Er..."
"This hexagram says that Liu Huayan will be the one who is responsible for the punishment. She is not upright enough, which has caused her own disaster. From now on, she must be upright, stick to the Tao, and be in awe."
"The whole hexagram is a test of Liu Huayan, and at the end of the hexagram, why does Xiao Xiao's ears disappear? It's because his ears are blinded, blocked by shackles, and he doesn't listen to other people's advice!"
As I murmured, I looked at Liu Tianniu again.
I also recalled that Liu Huayan came to Tang Town and left straight away...
My brows furrowed into a knot, and I said complicatedly: "Great Elder, I'm afraid it will match our inference back then... Liu Huayan is doing something, and she thinks it is right, so she puts shackles on her ears, not wanting to hear anything. Human words.”
"Indeed." Liu Tianniu sighed again.
"Then... what is this?" I asked Liu Tianniu again.
"Kill." Liu Tianniu shook his head and gave a complicated answer.
My expression suddenly changed again!
kill? !
Liu Huayan, who do you want to kill? !
I immediately asked Liu Tianniu again, who did she want to kill? !
"Yuan Huashao." Liu Tianniu said again.
"..."
For a moment, I didn't know how to answer the call.
After a while, I came back to my senses and asked, "Why did she attack Mr. Kaiyang Da?!"
"I don't know." Liu Tianniu shook his head and said, "Hua Yan didn't say anything. She just told me that she wanted to do this and then left."
"Yuan Huashao has done a lot for the common people. I can't stop him."
"But after that, I thought a lot. She should have her own reasons for turning into smoke. I taught her that she was definitely not a villain. She didn't want to tell me, probably because she didn't want to have any changes. But in the eyes of Zhengdao, I look like this now. The decrepit appearance is caused by Hua Yan not taking good care of me, so he went to find her."
"I don't agree. Zhengdao will think that I am old and Hua Yan is ungrateful. But if Zhengdao finds Hua Yan, based on his character and knowing what Hua Yan has done, the two of them will inevitably become enemies."
Liu Tianniu's words suddenly made me realize.
Yes, given Liu Zhengdao's character, if he knew that Liu Huayan wanted to kill Yuan Huashao.
How could he stand idly by? ! It will definitely be stopped!
Those two people will definitely have a fierce battle!
Regardless of victory or defeat, this is something Liu Tianniu cannot accept.
Before I could say anything, Liu Tianniu sighed again and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, but it is also related to you. You need Yuan Huashao to rescue Dunkong. Zhengdao regards Dunkong as his senior brother. This time It’s even more impossible for him to sit idly by and ignore the matter.”
"Perhaps you wouldn't let Hua Yan do this."
"This hexagram is indeed very bad."
I fell silent.
What Liu Tianniu said was correct.
Even Liu Huayan now has his own reasons to kill Yuan Huashao.
But Yuan Huashao absolutely cannot die now.
What makes me even more confused is why Liu Huayan did this. Did she discover something? !
At this moment, there was a sound of cow mooing outside the house...
I turned around and looked outside the courtyard, Dunkong was back.
Not only was Dunkong following behind him, there was a big old ox!
The hemp rope given by Liu Tianniu was tied around Lao Huang's neck!
Dunkong's face was filled with joy!
"Old Huang... he was not taken away by the second elder, but stayed with you?" I turned to look at Liu Tianniu.
"Tian Qian believes that San Yuan is not worthy of being a scalper. He kept Lao Huang by my side to protect me."
I nodded and understood what Liu Tianniu meant.
"Father!" Dunkong called me.
I didn't walk out of the main room immediately, but looked at Liu Tianniu again and said, "Great Elder, do you want Lao Huang to follow Dunkong?"
"Yeah." Liu Tianniu nodded.
"If you meet Hua Yan and Zheng Dao, ask Zheng Dao to be merciful. Hua Yan is no match for him now."
"Also, if Hua Yan is really wrong, please advise her and don't let her be too stubborn."
"In front of Hua Yan, please give this thing to Zhengdao." Liu Tianniu twitched his hand from behind.
What he took out was a high crown!
I was stunned for a moment before I took the crown...
"Great Elder...you..."
I knew what Liu Tianniu meant, but the words came to my lips but I couldn't say them.
