Master is not married yet

Chapter 73 Grapes
The elder brother's words were like a slap in the face, making us look at each other several times.

The second brother asked: "Luo Bi, what did the old man say when you contacted him last time?"

"The last time I contacted Master was when Tudou was recovering from his wounds in the inn. About five or six days after I sent the message, the carrier pigeon flew back. The letter was signed with only three words "Understood". After that, he never heard from him again."

Then the elder brother thought of something, bent his fingers and whistled, there was a fluttering sound of wings outside the window, and a worryingly fat pigeon flew down from the treetop to stand on the window lattice.The elder brother pressed his lips with his hands, and after thinking for a while, he began to chirp. The pigeon also tilted his head, and chirped along with him.

The second senior brother and the third senior brother are probably used to it, and they didn't react in the slightest when they saw the senior senior brother. On the contrary, no matter how many times I watched it, I still think that the senior senior brother is an amazing person.

"It says that Master is indeed in Fengdu." The senior brother picked a grape from the bunch of grapes on the desk, and beckoned the little bird to go to him, the little bird flew over happily, and swallowed the quick-followed grape in one gulp. It is a grape grain as big as a head, "It's just that it happened more than ten days ago, and I'm afraid only he himself knows where he is now."

I said, "Since the dumb emperor is here, will Master know?"

"No, if Master is already dumb, he doesn't have to go around here to find us." The third senior brother said, "Even if he came here to kill everyone, he can directly attack when he is in the cave, anyway. It happened in the territory of Chonghua, as long as he doesn't show up, no one will guess that it is the dumb emperor, but he just stopped us from going out, and after you came in, he just knocked us out, and then tried to talk to you "

He stopped suddenly, and rolled his eyes towards me, "So Tudou, what do you think these behaviors of the dumb are more like?"

I scratched my cheek and thought about the words of the third senior brother seriously, and suddenly I had a flash of inspiration, "Ah! Yes"

"Wait a minute!" the senior brother interrupted suddenly, I glanced in his direction, and found that the little bird had already swallowed three grapes, and was staring at the one in the senior brother's hand.

"It's been a long time since we had such a leisurely gathering of four brothers and sisters." He grinned, "This is a rare opportunity, why don't we write our answers on rice paper and guess together to see if we all think of one place?" go."

After speaking, he stuffed the grapes into the little bird's mouth, and got up to look for pens, inkstones and paper, and found some used ones for him.After I took it, I swiped my pen and wrote a few words on the paper, and other people also wrote their answers one after another. The elder brother looked around and said with a smile: "Okay, let's write it all down. Then let's uncover together now—"

We spread out the sides with the answers on the table, except that the answer of the big brother is slightly different from ours, but the essence is the same.

"Eldest brother, forgive me for being ignorant, what is "finding"?"

"Huh? It's not looking for someone, it's looking for someone."

"No, look carefully, your side is on the wrong side."

"Ah, really, but when Master was teaching calligraphy, he clearly told me that the first stroke is to leave the left side first."

"He's right." I looked at him, "but you left to the right."

In short, we all think that the mute is here looking for someone. As for who to look for, I think the key lies in the weird face he wears.

I said: "When he saw me, he pointed at his face with half a Bodhisattva's face on it. He didn't know what it meant. If he said he was looking for someone, wouldn't he be looking for a Bodhisattva? If so It's too outrageous, I think I can know a Bodhisattva."

The second senior brother rolled my eyes and didn't want to talk to me at all. The third senior brother smiled secretly a few times and said, "Leave aside the bodhisattva facial makeup you mentioned, we should think about why he blocked us instead of other disciples. In other words, he The person we are looking for should be someone we all know, so they come to us."

The whole room suddenly fell silent, and the answer is actually easy to see, if it is someone we all know, then naturally there is only him and no one else.

"But it doesn't make sense at all." I said, "Master went to Fengdu to find the mute, but the mute came all the way here to find Master, isn't it strange?"

"Actually, it doesn't make sense." The third senior brother turned around and asked the senior senior brother for two grapes, and placed the grapes on the left and right sides of the table, "Now you pretend that these two grapes are the mute and the master."

He picked up the grape on the left and lightly touched the other one, then picked up the one on the right and tapped it on the table, pretending to be chasing the original grape.

After reading his lively description of grapes, I raised my head and said, "You mean that the purpose of Master's going to Fengdu is to lure the mute emperor here?"

"At least that's how it looks to me." Third Senior Brother said.

I asked, "But why do you do that?"

"I'm asking you." The second senior brother suddenly turned his head to look at me, "You should have told Gongshan Yu about this, what was his reaction after listening?"

"He said that the territory of the Chonghua sect would not allow him to come and leave as soon as he said, and when he had no one in the Chonghua sect, he went into the cave to find the mute."

I suddenly realized, and instantly understood what Master was planning.

"Isn't he doing a lot of murders with borrowed knives? Just think about how King Ming died." The second senior brother said indifferently, "The old man promised that King Ming would give them the dumb head at the Huachao Banquet, but I I also told you that the old man is addicted to illusion, and there is still a certain gap in strength compared with the mute, so it is better to let others do it for you, wouldn't it be better for him to sit on the sidelines?"

"However, how will Master ensure that the mute will definitely lose?"

"He doesn't need it." He continued, "Even if it is Gongshan Yu who loses, his reputation in the martial arts is so high, and how big the Chonghua faction is. If he loses to Dumb, what do you think will happen?"

If Gongshan Yu lost, it would naturally mean that the Chonghua faction lost to the dumb emperor, and this result might affect the entire martial arts world.The reputation of the Chonghua School is shaken, and the reputation of the famous and decent sect is severely damaged. It will be the best result for the court who is worried about the rise of martial arts forces and affecting the monarchy.

I looked at the grapes on the table and imagined them as Fengdu, the imperial court, and the martial arts forest represented by the master and the mute. Each of them seemed to exist independently and have nothing to do with each other, but they were tightly connected by the same branch.Among them, the existence of the master is extremely special. When I think about it carefully, what he has done from before to now seems to be acting for the sake of chaos.

He was laying out from the beginning, and every move he played seemed to change just a little bit, but after several moves, I realized how big a game he was playing.

I said, "So the master should be here? Did any of you see him?"

The elder brother shook his head, seeing me staring at the grapes in a daze, he might have thought that I wanted to eat them, so he peeled one of the grapes and stuffed it into my mouth, "According to Ah Chu, I don't think he will stay here This, please, if you are still watching the fire from the other side after entering the urn, wouldn’t it be self-immolation if you don’t pay attention, if I can think of it, a cunning person like him will naturally think of it.”

His movements were so rude I almost choked to death on him.
