Chapter 45: I will be your little brother in the next life
Hearing Yu Qianer's call, I hurriedly fell to the ground and put him flat.
His breathing calmed down a little, and then said to me: "I'm not long after my life, but there are still some things I don't understand, and I will die with my eyes open. Please listen to my words."
When I heard his plain words, tears suddenly flowed out.
I remembered the situation when I met him several times.
This is an open-minded, cheerful and righteous old man. He sticks to Butterfly Valley for a hundred years and is very withdrawn in the eyes of others and is not easy to approach, but in front of me, it is very interesting and full of innocence.
He entertained me to drink and introduced his beast friends to me. After knowing that I had stole his lightning-striking wood, he didn't care at all. Instead, he said, "You are useful, just take it yourself."
He was full of tolerance for me, and even for the world that had not returned for a long time.
He gave me the feeling like my elders and my ageless friend, but at this moment, he calmly told me that he could not do it anymore.
My tears flowed freely, and I nodded vigorously, saying yes, you said, I'll listen.
Yu Qianer first coughed violently and vomited a lot of blood clots. He then breathed calmer. He took out a piece of red jade the size of a thumb from his arms, stuffed it into my hand, and said to me: "This jade is called amber blood, which is my harvest of warmth for a hundred years. Just like me, you can take the child back to the thunder hole of the ancient tree of life, take out the things, let him absorb no matter how tempting the thing is, don't have any ideas. Lu Yan, can I trust you?"
I nodded seriously, and then pointed at the sky and said, "If I, Lu Yan, have been exposed to some benefits, will be struck by lightning!"
Yu Qianer let go of my hand and said, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just...ah, to tell you the truth, this child is not the son of my old friend, but he was reincarnated. Although Chaos is ignorant of his mind, I still hope he can survive."
I suddenly realized and said I knew.
Yu Qianer said again: "Since you have taken the lightning wood, you should have dealt with those overlord salamanders, but don't be afraid, these jades are like me, they will not attack you."
I said yes.
When he heard that I would agree, Yu Qianer breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Actually, I am not worried that you will break your promise, but that you will be able to escape from Zhao Wuji's old witch hunting her. The way to kill the ghosts is to kill and attack the ghosts. The journey here is long... Alas, everything has its own destiny!"
I grabbed his hand and said seriously: "Senior, I swear to you here. I will do my best to ensure that he is fully prepared. Even if I die, I will be fearless!"
Yu Qianer's eyes were already a little dissipated at this time. He murmured: "Child, you are a good child. It's a pity that I don't have time to teach you the method of Qingmu Yigang, alas..."
Just as he sighed, someone suddenly spoke behind me: "Yu Qianer? Damn, I'm blind, I'm not mistaken, are you really you old boy?"
Well?
When I heard these silly but old-fashioned words, I was immediately furious.
Although you are old brothers, Yu Qianer tried his best to save you and used all the treasures that had been withered for a hundred years on you. What about you, you actually turned dirty, and the words "old boy" were said, which really made people angry.
However, when he heard this, Yu Qianer, who was already dying, took a breath again, his eyes lit up, and he looked up excitedly and shouted: "Brother Qu, Brother Qu, are you back?"
The child turned out from the bamboo basket, walked to Yu Qianer, and said in surprise: "Yu Qianer, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Qianer smiled bitterly, saying it was hard to say...
The child was not a fool. He stretched out his tender little hand and grabbed Yu Qianer's claws that looked like dead tree bark, very firm.
His tone became heavier: "I understand, you became like this to save me? Alas, life and death are based on fate, why do you fight to the death like this?"
Yu Qianer licked his lips and said with difficulty: "Brother Qu, the two people I admire most in my life, one is Mr. Shen, and the other is you. I think Yu Qianer, a disabled short mule, was ridiculed by the world, but you are the only one. I treat me as a true brother. Not only did I teach me many methods, but also the principles of being a human being, you taught me by example, and made me go from a cynical villain to a peaceful mind now. Including the time here, I have lived for more than 260 years, but I feel that only those years with you are the happiest. If there is a next life, I will be your younger brother..."
The child grabbed Yu Qianer's hand tightly and said, "You stupid kid..."
The scene was so weird, with a chubby little butt, and a tummy little butt, she called an old man in her twilight years as a "silly child". However, when he heard this, two lines of tears suddenly burst out from Yu Qianer's dry eyes.
Yu Qianer's speech has become very difficult, as if every word is spit out, and his vitality will pass away.
However, he insisted: "The angry hair is rushing to the crown, and the rain stops in the railing. Looking up, I roar at the sky, and my heart is fierce. Thirty fame, dust and soil, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, and I am so sad..."
When he said this, he could no longer speak, his eyes wide open.
But the child continued: "... Jingkang's shame is not yet achievable. When will the hatred of the ministers be destroyed? Driving a long cart and breaking through the Helan Mountains. Ambitions are hungry to eat the meat of the barbarians, laughing at the thirst and drinking the blood of the Huns. Wait until you turn back, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and go to the sky!"
Yu Qianer suddenly sat up straight and said to the child: "Brother Qu, it's great to see you again. I have no regrets in my life!"
After saying the last sentence, his eyelids drooped, his breath was no longer there, but he had no vitality.
The child stretched out his hand, hugged the old dwarf man, and cried out in grief, "Thousand Two, Thousand Two..."
He was very sad, and I was crying next to me, very sad.
Just as the two were sad, a large bird suddenly rose in the woods in the distance, and then a dark voice said: "My man surnamed Lu, can you escape for a while, can you escape for a lifetime? Why not hand over the person? I might as well take it over, maybe I will spare you because of your ability..."
The head of Linhu clan Zhao Wuji?
I heard the sound of being unpredictable, not knowing the east and west, but there was a strange penetration force. My heart was beating wildly. Before I could be sad, I grabbed the child's hand and said, "Let's go."
The child looked back at me and said, Who are you?
I said no matter who I am, Senior Yu entrusts you to me on his deathbed and gives you a hand. I have made a vow to the sky and do my best to save your life. Even if I die, I cannot let you be hurt. Let's go.
The child looked at me for a while, nodded, and said he could leave, and took his body with him.
I did not veto it, put the child in the backpack behind me, then reached out and hugged Yu Qianer's body.
He was a dwarf, not tall, and thin, so he was not much weight. After I hugged Yu Qianer, I made a mistake and the scenery around me suddenly changed. I quickly escaped towards the south of the mountain.
I was forced to no avail, because the old witch was nearby. If I was slowly rushing around the forest, I would definitely be caught.
Her steps are many times more mysterious than Jing Ke.
Fortunately, the man named Shang Qingtian taught me the method of sacrificing the Soul-Chasing Blue Soul Needle before, and asked me to suppress this thing, otherwise even if I had wings, I would not be able to fly out of the palm of the Tathagata Buddha.
After such a rapid movement, the mountains and rivers hurriedly passed behind me and suddenly threw away a long distance. However, at this time, my heart began to jump wildly.
I began to feel a little weak, my legs began to tremble, and a feeling of fatigue spread throughout my body.
Just when I felt something might be a little bad, a sensation of milky words suddenly came to my ears: "Yuanshi Anzhen, and everyone tells all spirits; Yuedu true officials, only the land is spirit; the left and right are not shocked; dedicate to the right path, clarify the inside and outside; each person is in place, guarding the family; the Supreme Master has his life, searching for evil spirits; the Dharma protector god..."
This kid is actually chanting mantras?
I was shocked, and at this moment, I suddenly felt the power that was rapidly losing in my body began to surge back, and the feeling of fatigue that made me in trouble gradually dissipated.
I ran faster and faster, and I felt the scenery on both sides whirlwind, and I threw one hill after another behind me.
I don’t know how long it took, but I heard a sudden shout from my ear: “Stop!”
I stopped subconsciously, but found that we had come to a river beach with huge mountain waterfalls. Just as I was surprised, the child suddenly said, "You have reached the limit. If you walk on, maybe you will be buried in the soil. Take a rest here first, don't worry."
I said hesitantly: "But behind us..."
The child said, "It's okay, we have walked a long way. You are using the earth escape technique. She was behind the waterfall that could not be found for a while. There was a hole behind the waterfall that was naturally shielded from the breath. Let's go there and rest."
I looked back and saw only the vast waterfall, and couldn't help but wonder: "How do you know that there is a cave behind the waterfall?"
The child snorted, as if he was unwilling to answer such questions, but after thinking about it, he explained to me: "The technique of observing mountains and distinguishing water is a very ordinary method. Don't doubt my words, just go."
His magical performance along the way won my trust. I didn't say much, and walked towards the waterfall with him on my back.
The closer you get to the waterfall, the louder the sound of the water. At this time, he suddenly asked, "Are you Fu Daolan's disciple?"
I was stunned and said, "Who is Fu Daolan?"
