My first impression of Master was that he seemed to be a god.

Because in that fire that I thought was certain to die, at the moment before I fainted, I vaguely saw his figure coming leisurely from the sea of ​​fire, and the flames that could destroy everything seemed to meet the eyes around him.

There was no obstacle in sight and they roared away outside. The wind and snow seemed to be avoiding his body and not daring to touch his clothes. I was extremely shocked and thought it was a hallucination before death, because this kind of thing was absolutely impossible.

Can happen to mortals with physical bodies

In my confusion, I saw him coming to my eyes lightly. He bent down, as if he was carefully observing our two children.

His eyes are very bright.

I saw that he seemed to be smiling.

Then I fell unconscious.

When I opened my eyes again and regained consciousness in my mind, I thought I was dead.

But I didn't see thick smoke or flames. I tried to breathe, but my chest still felt uncomfortable and my head was still dizzy. But the air I breathed was very fresh.

I felt very sore and tired, which surprised me and proved that I was still alive.

I started to observe where I was, and it turned out to be a dilapidated mountain temple.

It should be dawn at this time, and there was already a faint light outside the dilapidated windows of the ruined temple. From time to time, cold wind poured in from the windows and blew on me, making me shiver.

I was surprised and puzzled. I didn't know why I wasn't burned to death in the fire.

Someone next to me suddenly let out a scream, and I felt nervous. I quickly turned around and saw a child.

Those memories of the recent past flashed through my mind, and it turned out that the child named Silence was not dead either.

I was very happy. I grabbed his hand and said, "We are not dead, we are still alive."

Silent's expression was equally confused. He was as confused as I was about what was going on. He looked at me and suddenly began to vomit.

Like me, he was physically weak after experiencing life and death.

"Two hours, I woke up pretty quickly."

Suddenly someone else spoke in the ruined temple, and we were all surprised.

I followed the sound and found a fire in a corner not far away. There was only sporadic light in the fire, so I didn't notice it when I woke up. And there seemed to be a person sitting next to the fire.

If it weren't for the sound, I would never have thought it was a person. Because that person has completely blended into the environment of this ruined temple, and at first glance I would have thought it was just a blurry shadow.

Who is that person? Could it be that this person saved us from the sea of ​​fire? Why did he appear in that manor? And why did he save us?

These questions popped up in my mind, but I didn't ask them because I was completely confused at that time.

I saw the figure standing up slowly. He looked very tall and wore loose clothes. When he walked closer to us, I discovered that this figure had very long and gray hair.

This is a man with a thin face and seems to be around forty years old.

When he approached us, both of us were very nervous and our breathing was a little quick.

Because there seemed to be an invisible pressure on him.

This man came to us and squatted down, looked at us for a while, then took out a gourd and said, "I added something to the wine that was just heated. Do you dare to drink it?"

There was a time-worn flavor in his voice.

He handed the gourd to us with a smile on his face.

Shen Mo and I looked at each other, not daring to reach out and take it rashly.

"You're not afraid of a fire, but you're afraid of taking a sip of wine?" The man smiled, "You're so young, but you're so vigilant. Not bad."

It turns out that the person I saw before I fainted in the sea of ​​fire was really him!

Seeing that we were both silent, he seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he simply sat down, shook the gourd in his hand, and said: "I know you two have many questions in your hearts, so I will tell you the answers. First.

, I am obviously an adult, not a bad person, but I don’t think I am a good person either. Secondly, I heard that a group of people have been killing people and setting fires everywhere in the past six months. I happened to be very free, so I followed them all the way to see if there were any.

There is nothing fun to do. Third, I happened to come to this place and saw a house on fire, so I went in to take a look, and took you two little brats out by the way. Fourth, you two were injured and needed

Take good care of yourself. There is medicine in this wine that can heal your injuries. Drinking it will be good for your health."

He answered the questions in our minds in one breath. Then he handed the gourd to us again and asked, "Would you like a drink?"

While I was still hesitating, Silence next to me had already taken the gourd and quickly took a sip of wine.

He drank very quickly, and then began to cough violently. While he coughed, he stared at the man closely.

The man looked at the silent eyes and suddenly laughed. His eyes shone brightly with the laughter. He seemed to be very happy and excited and said: "What a pair of eyes. It seems that this trip was not in vain."

Run." He stretched out his hand to pinch Silent's face, and continued: "You have such an extraordinary talent, and you really shouldn't die in the fire like that. I saved your life, and it seems that this is fate."

Silence was caressed by him so casually on her face, and she didn't even avoid it.

But I could see the way the man looked at Silence, as if he had discovered a priceless treasure.

"Has anyone told you that your eyes are special?" The man looked at Silence and asked him.

Shen Mo rolled his eyes, and then replied: "No. But my mother once told me that I can't just stare at others, it's very rude."

When the man heard this, he burst out laughing again, and then said: "With the unique ghost eyes, of course you can't just stare at people, because that's not impolite, but very dangerous."

Silence was confused and didn't know why.

The man patted Silence's shoulder lightly and said, "You are still young, and the people you meet are all ordinary people. Of course you don't know what's going on. It's normal."

Then he turned to me, seemed to frown, and asked me, "Why don't you drink?"

I hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

But the man was still looking at me, waiting for my answer.

I could only bite the bullet and said, "I'm afraid it's poisonous."

The man was stunned when he heard this.

But this is indeed what I really think in my heart. I have also thought of other reasons, but I know that the person will definitely be able to tell if I am lying.

The man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You are very honest, but you are also very serious." He took the gourd and said: "I never like to force others, you can choose."

This time I didn't hesitate, reached out and took the gourd from his hand, and took a sip of the wine. The wine was very spicy, but after I drank it, I began to feel warmth in my body.

But not long after, I felt cramps in my stomach. The pain became more and more intense. My body spasmed uncontrollably. It seemed like something was pouring into my stomach and then rushing towards my throat.

I was so frightened that I fell to the ground clutching my stomach. I saw the same thing happened to Shen Sheng. The pain made him roll on the ground like a shrimp.

That wine was poisonous! I felt desperate and couldn't understand why this happened.

The disgusting and weird pain made me vomit a large mouthful of blood, followed by silence and vomiting.

I thought we were going to die soon.

We howled in pain.

I heard the man's voice whispering softly in my ears: "Your judgment is correct. There is indeed poison in my wine."

My liver and gallbladder are broken.

In despair, I felt a lightness in my body and sat up. It turned out that the man lifted us up one by one and sat us down on the ground. Then I saw him

Put your palms on our chests and pat them lightly.

I suddenly felt a wave of heat pouring into my body from my chest, quickly traveling throughout my body, and finally gathering in my abdomen. It was like a fire was lit in my belly, which made me feel indescribably comfortable.

I was immediately extremely surprised. I looked at Shen Mo and found that his face was also rosy and his spirit was completely different from before.

The two of us looked at each other speechlessly again, both seeing surprise and confusion on each other's faces.

Then we looked at the man at the same time.

The man was still sitting cross-legged in front of us. He took a leisurely sip of wine, seemingly not paying attention to what he was doing.

"What...did you do to us?" Silence finally couldn't help but ask.

The man shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "I just want to give you a little ordinary internal energy, just enough to save your lives."

When I heard this, I felt even more uneasy and confused, and blurted out: "Then why do you want to poison us again?"

"Because if you don't spit out the stasis in your body, your body will have serious consequences in the future." The man shook the wine gourd and said with a smile: "The things in my wine can both kill people and save lives. .Whether it’s life or death, it all depends on my mood.”

When Shen Mo and I heard this, we couldn't help but tremble in fear. The behavior of the man in front of us was really unpredictable, and his thoughts were extremely terrifying and unpredictable.

Seeing the fear on our faces, the man smiled leisurely and said: "I have already said that I am not a bad person, but I am not a good person either. But don't be afraid. Since I have saved you, I will not harm you. .What happened just now can be regarded as a lesson to you: Never trust a person easily at any time. A little wrong choice may very well cost you your life."

Both of our hearts sank. Only a few hours after escaping from the sea of ​​fire, we experienced life and death again. The feeling of this experience cannot be expressed in words.

We no longer dare to speak easily.

The man looked at us and said, "Since I saved you, now it's my turn to ask. Are you willing to answer my question?"

There seemed to be sharp knives hidden in his eyes.

We just nodded.

"Very good, then I'll start asking." The man said, "It's fate that we met. Can you tell me your names?"

After a short silence, Shen Mo and I said our names one after another.

"My name is Silence."
