Immediately afterwards, there was a "swish" sound, and a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the Taoist temple.
When it jumped into the air, it subconsciously looked sideways and couldn't help but widen its tiger eyes. The face of the green-robed Taoist priest was reflected in the hole.
Qi Heshan was stunned when he saw clearly the black figure that rushed out. It was the white tiger that he thought was dead.
Then he suddenly turned his head and saw the white tiger falling on the ground. He also turned his head and looked over, his expression suddenly shocked!
"Master, he didn't kill you???"
Qi Heshan looked shocked, unable to believe that the white tiger had "resurrected from the dead" and appeared in front of him like this.
Not only was he puzzled, but Brother Tiger He Xiong also had a look of confusion on his face.
He walked out of the crowd and walked directly towards the white tiger, with a look of surprise, surprise and disbelief on his face.
After all, his depression for more than a month was all related to this white tiger.
For this reason, he even asked the teacher a question.
And the friend in that question is the white tiger in front of me.
Never thought that the white tiger did not die, but was trapped in that small Taoist temple?
And who trapped it?
"Bai Hu, it turns out you are not dead."
He Xiong looked at Bai Hu with a smile, his voice filled with joy of recovery and reunion.
"I knew that with this great king's blessing, you would definitely not die so easily..."
Unexpectedly, the white tiger looked at Qi Heshan and then at He Xiong. With tears in his eyes, he shook his head violently and swooped down the mountain.
The white tiger's sobs could be heard faintly in the wind.
"Little Taoist priest, Your Majesty, I will go and see my master off for the last time. In fact, you have all misunderstood him..."
Misunderstood him?
Qi Heshan and He Xiong were immediately shocked.
They couldn't help but recall that that night, every move of their teacher seemed to contain a deep meaning.
It's just that at that time, one of them wanted to overturn the sky of Longhu Mountain, and the other was eager to avenge the white tiger, so neither of them thought about their master's intentions.
It wasn't until this moment when they were awakened by the white tiger that they finally understood.
It turns out that everything the teacher and father did to them had another hidden meaning?
At this time, Zhang Kongming took the lead in walking into the small Taoist temple and greeted Qi Heshan.
"Junior brother, why did master attack you that night? The answer is here..."
…
"Roar!"
As a tiger roar sounded, it shook the mountain forest and echoed in the sky above Longhu Mountain.
The white tiger swooped down from the top of the mountain and soon came to the door of the mourning hall. Looking at the spiritual tablets placed quietly inside, he couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes, and they began to fall in large numbers.
It closed its mouth and stopped roaring, as if it was afraid of disturbing its teacher when he was sleeping.
While weeping, it walked into the mourning hall, offered incense and kowtowed to its teacher, and then knelt down.
The Taoist priests kneeling around them all showed a look of surprise after seeing this scene.
Soon, they knew the origin of this white tiger, and they all nodded with relief.
And at the moment when Bai Hu kowtowed.
"Boom!"
In the sky outside the Taoist temple, thunder roared again and the wind howled.
Waves of dark clouds covered the sky, making the entire Longhu Mountain quickly darken.
Inside those dark clouds, there were streaks of lightning that continued to strike, as if striking the white tiger's mind.
at this moment.
The voice of his master seemed to ring in Bai Hu's ears.
It was also in the pavilion that day that my teacher said something to it, with a bit of smile and hope.
"Little White Tiger, don't be afraid. I came here this time just to make a deal with you..."
"I'll lend you your blood, blood and hair."
"In return, I will pass on all the foundation of my life's practice to you, so that you can go further in the future."
"As for why we need to take your blood, blood and hair?"
"Only if my precious disciple is tainted with your breath, will I believe that I killed you with my own hands, just like the carps I killed before."
"Haha, people become a little wordy when they get old. Little White Tiger, I may have to wrong you in the next month or so. I hope you won't blame this old guy like me in the future."
At this moment, Bai Hu knelt in front of the mourning hall, tears falling, and shook his head desperately, as if responding to his teacher's father.
…
At the same time, at the entrance of the small Taoist temple.
After hearing the reminder from his senior brother, Qi Heshan was shocked and walked in quickly.
He saw the senior brother standing under the eaves and on the steps, speaking with a lonely expression, saying what his master had said that night.
Zhou Yixing, He Xiong and others also walked in and stood not far away, listening to all this quietly.
In front of Zhang Kongming's eyes, the scene where he was standing here talking to his master more than a month ago seemed to reappear.
It's just that today, there is no such kind-hearted teacher around me anymore, and there will never be again in the future.
So Zhang Kongming took a deep breath and answered with a smile.
"Junior brother, I stood here that night and asked Master a question.
I asked Master, do I have to do this?
Master said..."
…
"Your junior brother has always lived under my protection, and I have had a great influence on his practice..."
The teacher stood on the steps with a smile on his face and soft eyes and said, "If he wants to improve his cultivation further, he must climb this mountain of mine.
But you have also seen that your junior disciple is lazy by nature and does not like to practice.
So I had to give him a push as my teacher.
Otherwise, if he continues like this, without the courage to defeat his master and break the shackles, he will have no hope of reaching the next level in his life, and he will never have the chance to become a master. "
Zhang Kongming still doesn’t understand, and he doesn’t quite understand, “But Master, is your approach too extreme?”
When the teacher heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
extreme?
From the day he overcame everyone's opinions and accepted his precious disciple, he was already on an extreme path.
For the sake of the future of his precious disciple, he is willing to give up a brilliant road and turn into a narrow path. What he wants to continue is not only the avenue of his precious disciple, but also the future of Longhu Mountain!
Now, in order to push his precious disciple, he would not hesitate to "kill" every animal that his precious disciple likes with his own hands. What does that mean?
The teacher laughed heartily, "It doesn't matter if you are extreme, just follow your heart, even if it costs you this short life, what are you afraid of?"
Zhang Kongming was silent for a while and asked another question.
"Master, what if he, my junior brother, fails to live up to your high expectations?"
Unexpectedly, the teacher's father smiled even more happily, shook his head, and said firmly, "He will not let you down.
From the day he started, he has never let his teacher down.
So it didn’t happen before, it doesn’t happen now, and it won’t happen in the future.
Kong Ming, your little junior brother, my precious disciple, is the new atmosphere of Longhu Mountain and the future! "
…
When Zhang Kongming said this, his eyes turned red again without knowing it.
He raised his head, took a deep breath, sniffed, and found that the sky above the Taoist temple had become dark, and there were bursts of thunder.
It looks like it will rain heavily soon.
He did not hesitate, glanced at his junior brother, and said in a deep voice, "Junior brother, come with me."
At this time, Qi Heshan was stunned.
After listening to his senior brother's explanation, his mind went blank. He didn't expect that his master had such high hopes for him?
Qi Heshan was also murmuring, "The new atmosphere of Longhu Mountain...the future of the sky..."
If I had known that Master wanted to give me a push, would I have practiced hard in the first place?
This thought couldn't help but pop up in Qi Heshan's mind.
But at this moment, he couldn't come up with an answer.
So he remained silent, clenched his fists, followed the footsteps of his senior brother, and came to a pond.
When he saw the carp swimming in the pond, Qi Heshan's eyes suddenly widened, and he was stunned again as if he had been struck by lightning!
Zhang Kongming pointed at the carps and said with a hint of sadness in his voice, "Junior brother, since you started, every carp you want to release is here.
There are one thousand three hundred and fourteen items in total.
Master has raised you very fat, and we are not allowed to disturb you.
This is also the reason why Master never lets you enter this small Taoist temple.
Because Master has been pushing you forward step by step from the first carp you want to release.
Maybe Master is a little selfish and inconsiderate of your feelings.
But the person that Master misses the most in this life, the person that he can’t let go of the most, and the person that he can’t let go of the most is you, little junior brother, it’s been you from the beginning to the end..."
boom!
At this moment, Qi Heshan was shocked physically and mentally, with tears in his eyes.
He stared blankly at the carp in the pond, as if he saw a old teacher feeding the fish while mumbling.
"Actually, I really want to satisfy my craving, but it's a pity that my precious disciple won't let me..."
Qi Heshan could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart and murmured, "Master..."
When he said these two words.
A "rumbling" sounded in the sky, as if in response to him.
Then a raindrop fell from the dark sky.
It fell directly on Qi Heshan's face, bringing a hint of coolness that penetrated into the skin.
Zhang Kongming was also looking at the carps swimming around, and continued, "Junior brother, do you still remember?
When you knelt in front of the Taoist temple and begged for mercy for a carp, you once said something.
After the master heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.
The next day he excitedly told us that Longhu Mountain will be prosperous for a hundred years because of you. You will be prosperous for a hundred years! "
A century of prosperity...
Qi Heshan clenched his fists harder.
Of course he still remembered that sentence.
"It's not just a carp, it's also a piece of sky, and it's a life that goes by year by day and day by day."
But at that time, what he said was just an angry word, but could it make Master so happy?
Zhang Kongming's voice became increasingly deep and sad, but he continued to speak with a hint of smile.
"Did you know? When Master finished saying that sentence, he was opposed by many uncles and uncles.
The masters and uncles all said that the surname of Longhu Mountain was Zhang since ancient times, and foreign surnames were not allowed.
Do you know what Master said at that time? "
Speaking of which.
Zhang Kongming turned around and looked at the junior brother in front of him.
Drops of rain fell in front of him and Qi Heshan.
Neither of them realized it.
Qi Heshan clenched his fists tightly and held back tears, "Master... what did he say?"
Zhang Kongming showed a proud smile on his face and said slowly, "Master said at that time...
Who said Longhushan must have the surname Zhang?
Who stipulates that people with foreign surnames cannot carry the banner of Longhu Mountain?
If this is what the ancestors of past dynasties said, then today, I, Zhang Ruogu, am the Heaven of Longhu Mountain, setting a precedent for this!
Let my precious disciple Qi Heshan, in the future, single-handedly hold up the sky of Longhu Mountain!
"
As this powerful voice sounded.
Qi Heshan's eyes widened in an instant, and he suddenly looked up at his senior brother.
The tears in his eyes could no longer be controlled and began to fall.
Soon, tears and rain mixed together, blurring his vision.
Waves of rumbling thunder also sounded in the sky, just like the vibration in Qi Heshan's heart at this moment, it was enough to shake the sun, moon, mountains and rivers in this world!
He never imagined that when his master accepted him, he would still be under so much pressure?
Especially what the master said shocked Qi Heshan.
How similar was what he did that night to his master back then?
It wasn't just Qi Heshan who was shocked.
There were also He Xiong, Zhou Yixing, Zuo Zhishan, Lin Qianyi and others standing not far away. They were all shocked by what the teacher said!
None of them expected that their senior father would have such a heroic mind and courage, overcoming the opinions of everyone, and letting his young apprentice support the future of Longhu Mountain?
If you put it this way, Master had already expected this day?
For a moment, He Xiong, Zhou Yixing and others all felt a sense of admiration and were moved by their teacher's good intentions.
Then they continued to watch and listen quietly.
"Junior brother..."
Zhang Kongming burst into tears, but he raised a hand with a smile, patted Qi Heshan on the shoulder, and said softly, "The last words the master said before leaving were also related to you."
Qi Heshan's eyes widened, his body began to shake, and he clenched his fists, "Master... what did he say..."
"Master said that with a precious disciple like you in this life, he will have no regrets."
No more regrets!
!
After hearing these four words, Qi Heshan could no longer hold back the emotions surging in his chest.
With tears rolling down his face, he knelt on the ground with a "pop" sound and wanted to kowtow three times towards the tuanfu in front of him.
As a result, before he could kowtow to the first person, a breeze held him up and prevented him from kowtowing.
Qi Heshan quickly looked up.
He saw a wisp of breeze hovering on the tuanfu, as if he had turned into a teacher, looking at him kindly, smiling, and saying the words he said after the apprenticeship ceremony.
"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"
"From now on, you don't need to kneel down on your knees in this world, nor do you need to kneel down to worship the gods. You only need to kneel on your parents, and you have no regrets in your heart!"
These words that Master said back then echoed in my ears.
Qi Heshan finally couldn't help but burst into tears and howled non-stop!
Just like on the first day of practice that year, a young Taoist priest cried and threw himself into the arms of his master because he couldn't bear the grievance.
That summer, the cicadas kept chirping.
There was a master who held his little apprentice in his arms, comforted him, and laughed loudly. His laughter ran through the sky, and he stayed with his little apprentice for many years.
This year is also summer, but my teacher and his laughter are no longer in this world.
Only one figure, Qi Heshan, knocked his head heavily on the ground, his cry shaking the world.
"But master... my disciple has regrets today, regrets!
! "
A heavy rain finally fell!
