There was a murmur in my heart. I always felt that something was wrong and inexplicable. Why did I faint suddenly? Why did Yiyi leave quietly?
"I almost forgot to tell you that Hei Laoba came to see you just now..." Master said suddenly.
"Eighth Master?"
I was shocked. He asked me to deal with the matter of the Night Parade of the Hundred Ghosts in Que Qingshan before. Now that it has been dealt with, did he come to me to tell me about that matter?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel nervous. I looked at Master cautiously and found that his expression was very serious. I suddenly felt something was wrong. Isn't this naughty old man betraying me?
Seeing my strange expression, Master sneered,
"Haha... It seems that you have a strong wings, and you actually went to investigate some inexplicable things and inexplicable people without telling me!"
"What...what do you mean?" I scratched my head and pretended to be confused.
There was a crisp "pop" sound, and I only felt a burning pain on my forehead.
Master blew into the palm of his hand,
"Your forehead is really hard! It hurt my teacher's hand when I slapped it."
I covered my head and was speechless for a while, but I could tell that the old man was not really angry.
"Well, instead of watching you sneaking around begging for help, why don't I tell you personally..."
When I heard this, I suddenly became excited. Master was finally going to tell me. Ever since I first learned that Master had another disciple from Aunt Liu and Lao Yutou in Tongjia Village, I have been curious about who Master’s disciple is.
Who can...
It was also after that time that the master suddenly left the Soul-Yearing Hall and went to the "North". All this seemed to be related to his other apprentice. This is also the person I asked Hei Laoba to help me investigate. Now I finally have to solve the mystery.
Already?
"My master did have a disciple. If he is still alive, he should be thirty years old..."
After just saying this, the master couldn't help but reveal a smile.
"This child is extremely talented. I picked him up from a mass grave when I was wandering around. He was less than five years old at the time. I remember that the yin energy in the mass grave was very strong, but it couldn't hurt him at all. He was dressed in shabby clothes like that.
Lying in rags and sleeping in the cemetery, the first time I saw him, I knew he was not a mortal, so I felt compassion and adopted him."
"He has been with me for fifteen years. Although he has a cold personality and is taciturn, he loves the art of ghosts. In just a few years, he became the leader of the younger generation in the mage circle at that time, and even
It’s much better than the seniors.”
I was surprised when I heard that I could reach this level in just a few years. No wonder the master had a proud look on his face. My senior brother must have been his pride for a long time in the past.
"He travels with me to consecrate people, catch ghosts and demons, and has accumulated ten thousand years of virtue. If he continues like this, he can definitely become a leader in the magic world, but it's a pity..."
Having said this, Master's expression instantly turned from proud to dim...
"What's the pity?" I asked impatiently.
"After the battle between the ghost bandits ended, the magic world was quiet for a few years. Then suddenly there was a rumor that the ghost bandits reappeared in the north of China. I wanted to avenge the immortal master at that time, and I was fully prepared.
, go there in person in advance…”
Master took a sip of tea, walked slowly to the bed, stared at the cold bright moon in the sky,
"But what I didn't expect was that the child actually left a note and went to the north alone, and never came back. I have searched for it many times, but every time I returned without success.
Including the last time I left the Haunting Hall, I didn’t know if the so-called ghost bandit was real or fake at that time.”
"Hey... I also asked some mages who had been to the north at that time. They all said that there was indeed a tragic fight there, but there seemed to be casualties on both sides. No one knows whether the child was involved...
"
Master turned around, took out something rolled up with white cloth from his pocket, carefully unfolded the white cloth, took out a seven-inch copper nail from it and placed it on the table in front of me.
"The last news I got about him was this copper nail..."
I looked at the copper nail in front of me and had mixed feelings in my heart. This copper nail was left by the man in white who had saved me many times. I never imagined that he was really the master's apprentice!
My senior brother!
I suddenly remembered that the last time Lao Yutou asked me to send a message to Master saying that "the house was flooded", Master rushed back immediately after receiving the message. Now that I think about it, is it possible...
"Then my senior brother's name is..."
Master's eyes trembled and he slowly uttered two words:
"Water mirror!"
I was completely stunned, or the knot in my heart was finally solved. As soon as the three-skinned zombie came out of the coffin, he asked me where Shui Jing was. It was because he saw the inheritance of my methods, so he concluded that I knew Shui Jing...
But even I didn’t expect that Shui Jing was actually my senior brother, an awesome figure who once dominated the magic world and accumulated tens of thousands of years of virtue in just a few years!
I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt that besides Master, I had another supporter, a supporter I had never met before!
"After Shui Jing disappeared, I didn't know whether he was alive or dead. I tried all kinds of secret methods to summon his soul, but I couldn't find his soul in both the Yin and Yang worlds. I thought he had been reincarnated until I saw this one again.
Copper nails…”
At this point, the master stopped talking. His eye circles were a little red. This was the first time I saw his old man with such an expression. I originally thought that my beloved disciple had been dead for ten years, but suddenly I discovered that he
Possibly still alive…
This kind of feeling of being lost and found is not something that ordinary people can understand.
I suddenly thought of something, and then asked excitedly:
"What now? Now you can try summoning spirits again and see if you can find your senior brother?"
"it's useless…"
The master shook his head,
"I've already tried it, but it doesn't work at all. This only shows that even if he still exists in this world, he has already cut off all the thoughts of this life, and the birth date and horoscope have no meaning for him."
My heart trembled. Master said that even if he still exists in this world, not that even if he is still alive, so it is possible that Shui Jing is already...
