Master''s tone is dignified, which makes people feel sad.

    "Then... After that? Have you ever forgotten her? " I asked.

    The master gazed at the bead and slowly replied, "forget it, how can you not forget it. Can sometimes dream back in the middle of the night, but still think of. Several times, I dreamt that she was covered with blood and asked me why I didn''t save her. "

    When master said this, his eyes were full of loneliness, as if that was the last thing he wanted to recall.

    "Do you hate your cousin? She killed your favorite woman, and you didn''t take revenge on her? "

    My curiosity is always so strong.

    The master looked at me and sighed: "in principle, I should hate her, but... I really can''t blame her for this. The grudge between them has a long history, and the woman I love is not the first time to trouble my cousin. If my cousin doesn''t kill her, she will. In this case, who can show mercy? "

    "But that''s your favorite woman!" I don''t quite understand.

    Master stretched out a hand full of calluses and gently touched my hair, which became more and more sincere.

    "Seventeen, you know, people live in this world not just for love. In fact, we all have responsibilities. Sometimes, for this kind of responsibility, we need to sacrifice some things, including love. "

    "Lovely a person, should not be with her regardless of everything?" I don''t think so.

    "Oh, it''s easier said than done to be together. In this world, there are too many people who are not willing to ask. In particular, when her pursuit is different from your pursuit, you may often stand on the opposite side. At this time, let alone together, even if you get closer to each other, it will bring a devastating blow to the people around you and even the world. "

    I shriveled: "master, how can it be as serious as you said? Love is what you love and I want. If you like it, you will be together. If you don''t like it, you won''t be together! "

    Master was holding a pipe in his mouth. He was smoking and didn''t take my words again.

    I know that he didn''t want to discuss this issue with me, so he didn''t ask for nothing.

    However, since he called me into this room today, he certainly didn''t just want to tell me his love story.

    The old man''s heart must be full of words and he wants to tell me!

    I waited so quietly, waiting for the old man to speak.

    Sure enough, after I waited for about ten minutes, the old man finally couldn''t bear it. He went to the wall on the left and buckled it three times.

    The next second, I saw that the place was like a door, slowly moving from the middle to both sides, revealing a wall full of memorial tablets that I had never seen before.

    I widened my eyes and felt a little incredible.

    "Master, this is..."

    Master took three sticks of incense, lit them, and then inserted them into the censer in front of the wall. He folded his hands and bowed slightly. It was a gift to those tablets.

    "These are the ancestors of my Chen family."

    Hearing this, I can''t help but think of the Chen family that Ma Dongdong and I said was very famous in Jiangcheng.

    At that time, when he said it, I didn''t care much.

    But at this moment, I don''t know why, I always feel that there seems to be some connection between the master and the Chen family.

    Otherwise, how can we find the second Chen family in Jiangcheng?

    Just, Wei Mao, the master has never mentioned it to me before?

    It was like seeing through what I thought. Master took the pipe out of his mouth and knocked it on the edge of the chair a few times before he spoke again.

    "Before, I didn''t want to say these things to you, because I hope you will live a plain life and grow old. But... In the Taoist temple just now, what the fox said made me a little uneasy. "

    I frowned: "you mean what did the fox say about a bigger disaster coming? As a matter of fact, I still haven''t figured out what she meant by that. Master, can you explain it for me? "

    "Seventeen, curiosity is too heavy. Sometimes it''s not a good thing." Shifu seems a little reluctant.

    But I still pester him.

    "Master, you''re only half talking. You''re trying to force me to death, aren''t you?"

    Seeing that I really wanted to know, Shifu had no intention to continue to hide, and began to tell me about the unknown past.

    "My family is the Chen family, the first master of metaphysics in Jiangcheng. My real name is Chen Feng. More than 30 years ago, after the death of my cousin''s grandmother, the owner''s seat has been vacant. Until later, I took over. I thought I could make great efforts to carry forward the metaphysics of the Chen family, but I didn''t expect that one day in my third year as the leader of the family, more than 100 members of the Chen family suddenly disappeared. No bones, no trace, no last words. The only one is the red blood on the ground. "

    I was shocked by master''s words.

    "They... Are all dead?"

    The master nodded and said in a dumb voice, "that day, because I had something to do, I stayed at my friend''s house for one night, so I escaped the disaster. Otherwise, maybe even I will suffer from this vicious attack. "

    "Who on earth did it?"

    "I''d like to know, but after 30 years of investigation, I still haven''t found out why. I can only live in this small village for a while, and then avenge the lives of more than 100 people in my Chen family when I have a chance!"

    The master said, his fists curled tightly, and his nails were almost pinched into the flesh.

    It can be seen how much he hated in his heart.

    Looking at him like this, I don''t know what to say for a moment.

    I always thought that he was a carefree little old man. He didn''t want to do anything, so he smoked, drank and cultivated land every day, and talked to me.

    But it turns out that under his seemingly relaxed appearance, there is a huge pain.

    The pain, do not uncover already, a uncover will hurt him to pieces.

    The funny thing is that I always boast that I am his apprentice and the closest person to him, but at this time, I find that I can''t do anything at all.

    Heart, dull pain.

    I hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out and gently took master''s old and thin body into my arms.

    Master''s body, slightly trembling, seems to be sobbing.

    "Seventeen, do you know? In the past 30 years, almost every night, as soon as I fell asleep, I would see the blood all over the Chen family house that day. The blood, bright red, stings people''s eyes. You said, "did my family all feel particularly painful the moment they were killed?" The master raised his head and asked me.

    I moved my lips to answer, but I couldn''t say a word.

    Because, this matter is really too painful.

    No matter how I answer, it''s a huge blow to master.

    I don''t know how high spirited he was when he was young. I only know that at this moment, standing here, he is just an old man dying.

    His body is no longer strong.

    His skin is no longer tight.

    His heart is no longer clear.

    Those hatred, with the passage of years, is deepened again and again, until never forget.

    After hesitating for a long time, I took a deep breath and patted him, pretending to be relaxed and said: "master, without your family, you still have seventeen! Seventeen was not very sensible before, and always made you angry, but seventeen assured you that I would be obedient in the future, and I would not talk to you again, and you would not be unhappy, would you? "
