After hearing what Master said, I was suddenly shocked.
"1986? That...isn't that the year I was born! Master, she was actually in Shanghai at that time?"
Shanghai, or its more familiar name is...Shanghai!
In the later Internet era, it was also called the Magic City!
It is located on the eastern coast and has been China's largest and most economically developed city since the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
I have seen a lot of reports about Shanghai in books, in the news, on TV...
Perhaps he has already decided to tell me something, so Master continues...
"I was seriously injured at the time. I lost all my magic power, my meridians were severed, and my acupoints were broken. All the Qi remaining in my body needed to be used to control the injury. I was even more fragile than an ordinary person. After arriving at Wujia Village, the villagers may have thought that I Poor thing, he gave me food and didn’t drive me away.”
"So I simply stayed in Wujiacun. While I was recovering from my injuries, I was able to get away from the fighting and strife in the Xuanmen world and rest for a while."
"In order not to attract attention, but also because I was tired of my previous life. I deliberately pretended to be a crazy woman, laughing and joking every day, without any thought. I completely relaxed and didn't need to think about anything or worry about anything. Don't say anything. , quite happy! And the recovery speed of the injury is also accelerating."
"It wasn't until that time that I understood. It turns out that my great calamity did not depend on my skills or my cultivation strength. It depended on the Dharma and Tao, my state of mind, and my perception."
"Maybe he is seriously injured and dying, has lost all his cultivation, and is living in a rural mountain village... This experience of falling from the clouds to the bottom of the valley is itself part of my catastrophe. It is also something that I really need to face."
"After understanding this, I became more peaceful. It was as if I was really a crazy female lunatic in the village. Until...that time you went swimming in the river and was almost captured by the vicious water demon as a substitute. , Wang Fei died."
"I predicted that he would definitely turn into a zombie, and I couldn't bear to see Wujiacun suffer. In addition, his cultivation level at that time had begun to recover, and he no longer had to be as cautious as in previous years, so he finally came forward to help."
"My good disciple, you will all know the following things..."
So that’s it!
After listening to Master's story, I had a little understanding of her past.
At least I know how she came to Wujiacun and why she pretended to be a crazy woman in the first place.
I couldn't help but feel a little sad, and subconsciously held Master's hand.
"Master, you have worked really hard."
She was stunned.
Then he smiled and took out his hand, slapped me on the head, looked into my eyes and said seriously.
"Why are you so hard? In the past ten years or so, I have lived in Wujia Village away from the disputes in the Xuanmen world. I have lived a leisurely, relaxed and comfortable life. I don't know how long it has been since I felt so relaxed. Especially after accepting you as my disciple, Delicious meals are delivered every day. I have become fat."
The master said and made a little joke.
I laughed too.
"Master, how is your recovery from your injury now?"
"It's hard to say. I have used secret techniques to seal some acupoints. This way I can not let out too much breath, but also speed up recovery. At this point, Ah Zhong, you don't have to worry. Master himself knows the physical condition very well. .”
oh……
I nodded with some frustration.
I know very well in my heart that the gap between me and Master is really huge!
It's like the glow of fireflies in front of the light of the bright moon.
So even though I wanted to help, I didn't say much - because I knew I couldn't help at all.
Neither can I help Master heal, nor can I help Master take revenge.
But I still clenched my fists, gritted my teeth, and looked up at Master. Said in a very serious tone.
"Master! When I grow up and become stronger, I will definitely kill all the people who attacked and chased you. I will avenge you! I swear."
"Okay! Ah Chong is so sensible. He is indeed my good disciple."
She smiled, and her face, which looked only twenty years old, looked even more beautiful and charming under the light.
Obviously, Master still didn't really take what I said to heart.
I didn’t say much, after all, I knew it very well - someone who could beat her to the point of being seriously injured and dying and chase her for thousands of miles was so powerful! I guess trying to kill me right now is not much different from squeezing an ant to death...
"I'm still too weak. I have to practice harder to become stronger."
I secretly made up my mind.
Master returned the Two Rivers Zhenhe Order to me.
"Since you promised to give it to the corpse collector, give it to him. The only function of this thing is to suppress the Sichuan River God in this section of the river basin. He is a corpse collector, so maybe it may actually be useful. Anyway, don't fall behind. Just let it fall into the hands of those evil cultivators."
"Well, okay Master!"
I put the Zhenhe Order away again.
…
On Sunday afternoon, I returned to the coffin shop in Two Rivers.
After telling Lao Cao about his master's opinion, he sighed and said that there was indeed nothing Qin Xiangu didn't know!
[Single Magic Weapon] He had only heard his master and master mention it occasionally. It is said that the difficulty of sacrificial refining is much higher than that of conventional magic weapons!
Moreover, due to its single use, it is actually not cost-effective and of little use. There are very, very few practitioners who devote great efforts to refining this thing, so [Single Magical Weapon] is very rare.
Most practitioners have never even heard of it!
Then I went to the vegetable market and bought a large piece of pork. I held it in my hand and walked slowly to the small wooden house outside the woods by the river in Zhenbei.
Heizi smelled the smell of meat from all the way away and was so happy. He jumped right out of the wooden fence in the yard, his tail wagging like a rattle!
He was drooling and kept rubbing my legs and the backs of my hands, and even stuck out his tongue to lick me.
What a "licking dog"!
"Hahaha, Heizi is so good. Here you go, go and eat!"
I threw this piece of pork belly, which weighed five or six kilograms, to Heizi. He took it in his mouth with a squeal, swung his tail and returned to his nest to feast.
Seeing that greedy look, both Li Miao and I couldn't help but grin.
I took out the Zhenhe Order from my arms and handed it over.
"Brother Li, I asked my master, this is indeed the Zhenhe Order! Moreover, it has been refined into a unique magic weapon by human sacrifice..."
I said everything Master said and told him the mystery behind it.
Li Miao was slightly surprised and happy at the same time, and naturally thanked me again and again. He also said that if there are any requests in the future, he will definitely go through fire and water, stab at both sides, and not even blink an eye!
After dealing with the Zhenhe Order, I was ready to go to school for evening self-study.
…
Time is like running water, flowing forward so slowly but firmly.
Almost in the blink of an eye, months passed by.
It's November 2001.
Autumn is here and everything is bleak.
