I glanced at Madoka and said nothing.
Although my mood has stabilized now, I am still in no mood to bicker with this guy as usual.
Lao Cao seemed to see something.
Ask me softly.
"Xiao Wu, has the fairy lady left?"
I looked at Lao Cao, but I didn't expect him to guess it directly.
I nodded, my tone still filled with a hint of frustration.
"Well, Master, she left. She said she wanted to do her own thing."
Madoka made a human-like "shrug" motion with her wings.
"No wonder! I said, Mr. Wu, why do you look a little haggard? It turns out that the woman is gone?"
I sat down on a low wooden stool, let out a sigh of relief, and said nothing.
Lao Cao came over and patted me on the shoulder.
"Xiao Wu, Fairy Girl is a divine dragon soaring in the sky. Her life is long and her world is vast. In a small place like Wujiacun, she is like a divine dragon trapped in a shallow puddle. Just like rest."
"One day, she needs to return to her own world. As for us, we can get along with her for a while, but it is difficult to be permanent."
"She has lived in Wujia Village for more than ten years, and you are her disciple and the person she trusts and is closest to. This kind of relationship has been long enough."
"Xiao Wu, listen to my advice. Fairy Girl's identity is too mysterious and too high for you to grasp. You are still young. Just practice hard and live your own life in the future. Just treat it as a beautiful memory. "
I raised my head and looked at Lao Cao with a somewhat helpless look.
I understood it immediately.
Just like three years ago, before I used his [Sacred Paper Technique: Flame Knife] to kill the mother-in-law, Miss Duan, I deliberately slowed it down for a few seconds so that she could take revenge with her own hands...
Lao Cao should have also seen my feelings for the master - it's not that simple, it's not just a relationship between master and disciple. Instead, there are other things mixed in it.
So he was hinting to me not to think too much.
I shook my head vigorously.
"No! Even if my master is a dragon flying in the sky, then I can try my best to become the same. Since I was born, I was thought that I would not live to be more than fifteen years old. Isn't this a good life? Since I can change against the will of heaven. Fate, why can't you catch up with Master?"
"Yes! Since I can change my destiny against the will of heaven, I will practice hard with the same belief. One day, I will be able to reach a very high level. I will be able to contact the master's world and even find her. Yes, that's it!"
The more I spoke, the more energetic I became, and finally I waved my fist vigorously. His expression was also a bit ferocious due to the excessive exertion.
Bang bang bang!
Madoka, that stupid bird, flapped its wings like applause.
"Not bad, not bad. The Wu boy I know should have such a character that he is not afraid of the sky or the earth. That woman's cultivation is very high and her identity is very mysterious. But what's so great about it? Come on, boy Wu, she will definitely be able to reach this point. One step at a time. I support you!"
Lao Cao was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly.
"Originally, I wanted to advise you not to aim too high and make yourself miserable because of goals that are too outrageous. Unexpectedly, it actually inspired your fighting spirit and made you determined. Anyway, if Xiao Wu you can really do it in the future If I stand shoulder to shoulder with Fairy Girl, I can also take advantage of her."
Um!
I nodded vigorously.
I chatted casually with Lao Cao, Xiao Yuan and Uncle Wang again. After talking for a while, I felt much better.
After thinking for a while, he finally asked.
"Lao Cao, what kind of person is my master? I mean, what kind of past and experiences does she have? In fact, she has never told me about it. It's all up to me to learn from some Guess it from clues and normal conversation."
"It was this black plant incident that let me know the reason why she was besieged and injured by bad guys, and finally lived in seclusion in Wujiacun anonymously."
"Old Cao, since you have known my master for a long time, you at least know some things, right? Now that the master has left Two Rivers Town, and he has not forbidden you from talking about her past, you can probably tell me about it. ?”
I looked at Lao Cao expectantly.
He was silent for a while and took a few puffs of cigarette.
Finally nodded.
"Okay, okay, let's just say it. In fact, it's not a secret that cannot be told, it's just some deeds of our lineage and Xiangu's past contact."
"I used to think that Xiao Wu you often stayed with Fairy Aunt, but she didn't take the initiative to say anything, so there was no need for me to say more. Now that Fairy Aunt has left, if you want to know, I'll just tell you..."
I immediately became excited.
I have always wanted to know more about Master!
This will make me feel closer to her world and life.
Xiao Yuan and Wang Hu were obviously very interested, and they both looked attentive, waiting for Lao Cao to speak.
Lao Cao blew out a white smoke ring, slowly spreading in the air. In the haze of smoke, he slowly recounted...
"Speaking of which, although I am just a coffin seller in Lianghe Town, I still have a small reputation in the nearby circle of people who eat Yin people. And two generations ago, the Cao family in eastern Sichuan had the reputation of being a coffin bearer. , and even louder.”
"The first encounter between our Cao family of coffin bearers and Fairy Qin dates back to 1907. At that time, it was still the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the world was in chaos and the people were in dire straits. It was a time when all kinds of demons and ghosts were rampant... "
What? !
1907!
I was stunned and my eyes widened.
Although I had been mentally prepared for it, I was still shocked when I heard what Lao Cao said with my own ears.
But actually think about it, that guy Zhu Qihan is almost able to stay young forever. Not to mention my master, who lives much longer than ordinary people and keeps his appearance forever, which is normal...
But I have another question.
"Isn't that right, Lao Cao? My master cultivates Tongxuan and has a long life. Are you also from the Qing Dynasty?"
Lao Cao waved his hand.
"That's not true! I'm just sixty years old this year."
Madoka flew directly to his head, stood on one foot, and struck a coquettish pose. He said cowardly.
"Then how do you, Old Man Cao, know what happened in 1907? You couldn't have made it up, right?"
"I'm talking about the relationship between our Cao family's coffin bearers and Qin Xiangu. It's not me!"
As Lao Cao spoke, he took Xiao Yuan off his head - the stupid bird was getting fatter and fatter, and it was probably too heavy, and it made Lao Cao's head hurt from the pressure.
"Actually, my first contact with Xiangu Qin was with my master, Cao Yunfeng. He was a very famous coffin bearer and paper master in the eastern Sichuan area. He was highly cultivated, popular, and he often traveled. In the world, fight against injustice and destroy demons."
"In the spring of 1907, my master was only eighteen years old. He was already alone. He was very talented and had already started teaching. Shortly after burying his master, he received a big order. It was to go to western Hunan to help With the help of an exorcist, I helped re-interomb a very powerful zombie..."
As Lao Cao narrated, a past event from more than ninety years ago seemed to appear before my eyes...
