Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Second: Congrats to the Master
[Source] This prop card is very special. What is special about it, Xu Tong cannot explain clearly in a sentence or two.
But now this [Source] is unusually restless, precisely because of the immortal treasure that has reunited before its eyes.
I saw that after the fairy treasures were re-merged, they actually emitted a hazy green light, shrouding the entire fairy treasures, giving people a misty and misty feeling.
When Xu Tong and the others were illuminated by this misty green light, they immediately felt an indescribable sense of comfort.
Even my injuries suddenly felt much better.
"Good thing, it's a pity that if the emperor had known that there was such a rare treasure in the Forbidden Palace, maybe..."
The master held the fairy treasure and thought about it for a moment. He suddenly sighed. There are no ifs in this world. It is the general trend. Man Qing has long been rotten from the root. Not to mention this fairy treasure, just take out the treasure of Daluo Jinxian.
, can't save a rotten giant.
"Master, Qianju and the others can use this thing to extend their lifespan, you..."
Xu Tong looked at the master with a sparkle in his eyes.
The Immortal Treasure is very important to him and seems to be inextricably related to the source. However, if it can extend the master's life for a hundred years and change his destiny, even if the master in front of him is just a projection, Xu Tong will be happy to give this thing to the master.
.
Furthermore, this thing originally belonged to Master, and in the final analysis, he was just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.
However, Xu Tong was disappointed.
The master shook his head, smiled, and unhurriedly opened his clothes to reveal his belly.
When Xu Tong and Gao Zhuo saw the old man's belly, their expressions suddenly changed: "Master, you..."
I saw that the master's belly had turned into a black and blue color, with large and small spots, like some kind of mold covering the skin.
"Don't be nervous, you won't die for a while."
The master smiled, stretched out his hand to hold Xu Tong's hand, and put the immortal treasure in his hand: "My child, this is a thousand poisons, with thousands of formulas and thousands of solutions, but the person who eats it will be the Great Luo Jinxian."
Can't be saved."
"Cimin!!"
Xu Tong's eyes immediately turned red, and his face was full of murderous intent. He wanted to cut this bastard Ci Min into pieces.
"No!"
The master grabbed him and said, "Don't blame him, I asked him to prepare this poison. Li Xi has a complicated background. He works as a eunuch in Qintian Prison. He knows the art of stargazing best. If I don't fake my death, what will happen to him?"
Will be fooled."
It turned out that this was exactly what happened that day when the master sent Xu Tong and Gao Zhuo away, leaving Ci Min alone.
When Cimin heard his master asking him to prepare some medicine, Cimin didn't think much about it at that time.
But when he heard the prescription, Ci Min turned pale and knelt on the ground with a plop.
There is no other reason, just because this prescription is exactly the poison he gave, Qianji Cold Poison. When the master read out this prescription, how could Cimin still not understand that the master had already noticed that he secretly poisoned it?
arrive.
I thought that the weak poison would not be noticed, but I didn't expect that the master not only noticed it, but could even recite the prescription.
However, I thought that he was dead this time, but instead of killing him, the master slightly changed the prescription and handed it to him.
Let him take the medicine according to the prescription and continue to poison himself. He promises that after the success is achieved, a benefit will be promised to him.
Ci Min was not a fool. He immediately understood what his master was planning. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally gritted his teeth and accepted this side mission.
Therefore, it is said that the poison was administered by Master himself. Of course, it is impossible to say that it has nothing to do with Ci Min.
"Child, do you understand what I'm doing?"
Xu Tong was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and thought for a moment: "You blame me for being too soft-hearted!"
The master stretched out his hand and patted his head: "It was possible before, but not anymore. You can be kind, but you must not be merciful. Otherwise, my life will be in vain."
The master's voice was very slow, but it was no less than thunder in Xu Tong's ears.
He knew that the master was risking his own life to teach him a lesson.
His nose immediately became sore, and he looked at the old man in front of him with complicated eyes. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He was so guilty that he didn't even dare to look at the master's face.
"I didn't teach you anything, I can only give you a lesson, but don't feel guilty. If I don't take this poison, fate will kill me."
The master was worried that he was too guilty, so he comforted him.
The so-called destiny is indescribable and unspeakable. Once you truly reach that level, you can feel the responsibility and destiny that falls on your shoulders.
Just like the Taoist sages of the past generations, they have experienced tribulations and ascended to heaven. However, the place where Master wants to go is not in the sky, but on the ground.
Be it poison or accident, any method is acceptable, except suicide.
This is the annoying part, so strictly speaking, Ci Min helped him.
"Can……"
Xu Tong looked at the stains on his master's abdomen that were like mold spots and cried out in frustration.
The master saw his thoughts and sighed: "I fulfilled my destiny this time, but my hands are stained with blood. This should be regarded as punishment."
There may not be only one way to fulfill destiny, but the master chose the most direct and direct way, killing and burying the entire dregs of the old era together.
If you are rewarded for fulfilling your destiny, then you will be punished for killing all sentient beings.
Is it a contradiction?? It is not a contradiction at all. As the saying goes, heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs. Heaven has no emotions. It rewards merit and punishes mistakes. The same is true for anyone, even those who inherit the destiny.
However, there is still some flexibility in this. For example, it is always better to choose a painful process yourself than to have God arrange it for you.
After the master finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.
"Where are you going!" Xu Tong hurriedly tried to follow him, but the master flicked his sleeves and a strong wind pushed him away.
"Go and take a look, go for a walk, and never come back. Just take care of yourself."
"Master!!"
Xu Tong knelt on the ground, crying like an abandoned child, and called his grandfather with choked sobs. He knew that this time of separation, he would never see him again, so he could only kowtow to the old man: "Master! Disciple Xu Tong! Here you go! You kowtow!"
Hearing his heart-wrenching cry, the master's nose felt sour, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and walked out of Shangqing Palace.
Gao Zhuo stood aside, with tears in his eyes, and followed Xu Tong and knelt down to say goodbye to the old man.
The two of them knelt for a long time, until Chang Miao came out of the vegetable garden at the back and saw the two of them kneeling. She quickly came to help them, and then they stood up.
"Why are you kneeling on the ground in this cold weather?"
After Chang Miao helped the two of them get up, she turned and walked into the house, saying that she wanted to wash Xu Tong and find some cleaner clothes. After all, except for the dark black brocade robe, the clothes inside him were very damaged. Presentable.
At the same time, both of them also received the news that the main mission was completed.
The fairy treasure has been obtained, and the two of them have completed their mission in the world of this big script, and can return to reality at any time.
"Hey, go back, I'm tired."
Gao Zhuo was in a bad mood, and he didn't even want to study the fairy treasure in Xu Tong's hand. After all, even if he knew the outcome early, when he finally faced it, he still felt like he was hit hard in his heart.
He just wants to leave this world right now, return to reality right away, turn on the TV, and watch CCTV news.
Xu Tong nodded: "You should go back first, I still have some things to finish."
"Um??"
Gao Zhuo glanced at Xu Tong and frowned for a moment, but seeing Xu Tong's calm expression, he couldn't say anything and could only choose to return first.
When Gao Zhuo turned into a ray of light and gradually disappeared in front of Xu Tong.
As soon as Gao Zhuo left, Chang Miao brought Xu Tong a Chinese tunic jacket he had picked up from somewhere. Xu Tong was not polite and put the clothes on.
Needless to say, although the clothes are a bit old, they fit me perfectly and I don't feel uncomfortable at all.
He took out a thick wad of banknotes from his pocket.
"Eh?? How come you still have money for these clothes?"
Xu Tong pretended to be surprised and said.
"money??"
Chang Miao looked at the thick stack of ten-yuan bills and fell into self-doubt. Where did the money come from after washing these clothes three times?
However, Xu Tong didn't care about this, and directly put the money into Chang Miao's hand: "Next time when you wash clothes, remember to clear your pockets before leaving. When you come next time, I hope you will repair the Shangqing Palace as soon as possible."
After Xu Tong said this, he ignored Chang Miao who looked confused, got up and walked out.
"this……"
Chang Miao felt strange in her heart. When she looked back, she saw that the courtyard in front of her was quite lively a few days ago. Now that it was deserted again, she felt a particularly strong sense of loneliness in her heart.
This sudden burst of loneliness made him very uncomfortable. He couldn't help but sigh, and he actually wanted to recite a poem: "The stormy gathering has finally come to an end, guests and friends... er... guests and friends..."
It's a pity that Chang Miao couldn't read the next sentence out because of the little ink in her stomach. She shook her head and said angrily: "Forget it, go to hell."
After that, he closed the door of Shangqing Palace and went back to his room to continue meditating on the scriptures he had recently figured out.
