I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1953 The Knife in the Heart
"Heaven, heaven?" The fat man was not a white-handed novice. When Liu Jun pointed like that, he immediately understood who Liu Jun was referring to. His eyes instantly widened with fear.

"Yeah." Liu Jun nodded slightly, and his mind couldn't help but recall the horrific scene he encountered when he helped Tushan Susu to overcome the tribulation. The powerful pressure of the Heavenly Dao seemed to still linger in his heart. This Heavenly Dao probably really wanted to destroy him. Thinking of this, Liu Jun couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, what should I do? Do you have a way to send me back to the human world?" Before the fat man came to the God Realm, he had all kinds of beautiful fantasies in his heart, fantasizing about having some adventures in the God Realm. But now he finds that it is full of dangers, and coupled with Liu Jun's words, his heart, which was originally full of expectations, instantly cooled down. He has already backed down, and his voice is trembling a little.

"There's really no other way. I'll find a safe place for you to stay. Liu Qingxuan and the others are there too." Liu Jun said slowly, with a helpless look and a hint of worry on his face.

Although there is a passage in the human world that can ascend to the divine world, it is only allowed by the rules of the human world. However, the rules of the divine world explicitly prohibit people from the divine world from going to the human world, which is undoubtedly a special protection for the human world. Because of this, once you come here, you will never return.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Anyway, I know you won't let me starve. The place you carefully selected will definitely be fine." The fat man was a broad-minded person. After knowing that he could not go back, he quickly let go of the entanglement and anxiety in his heart and looked relaxed.

"Are you hungry?" Liu Jun asked with concern.

He still cares about Fatty very much. He and Fatty are good brothers who have been through life and death together. They were once tortured to death by a little evil ghost together.

"Hehe, now that you mention it, I actually feel a little hungry." The fat man touched his round belly a little embarrassedly, with a silly look on his face.

"Let's have some grilled steaks." Liu Jun said, and quickly took out the grill from the storage space, and then took out some tender steaks.

"This steak is really good!" The fat man couldn't help but praise it. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something important and his face changed suddenly. "Oh my god, Jun Ge, the Bull King Moo was also captured by those birdmen!"

"I know, he's fine, I've rescued him." Liu Jun looked calm, picked up the match unhurriedly, lit the coal in the grill, and said slowly.

"That's good, that's good! It was me who helped this old cow. If anything really happens to him, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life." The fat man breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

The two chatted casually, and the atmosphere was relaxed. However, whenever the topic came to Mo Li, the fat man's eyes began to become evasive, always deliberately avoiding something.

"Fatty, are we brothers still?" Liu Jun frowned slightly and asked seriously.

"Yes, of course! Brother Jun, if necessary, I, Fatty, will sacrifice my life for you without any problem!" Fatty said firmly without hesitation.

"What happened to Mo Li? Tell me the truth!" Liu Jun raised his voice with a hint of eagerness and anxiety that was difficult to conceal.

His eyes were fixed on the fat man in front of him, expecting his answer, as if every second of waiting was torture.

Facing Liu Jun's urging, the fat man fell silent. Although he was usually smooth and good at handling various occasions, he hesitated at this moment.

He regarded Liu Jun as a real brother and knew what this news meant to Liu Jun. But he didn't want to lie to his brother, and he didn't want to see Liu Jun being hit by this sudden news.

"Speak!" Liu Jun urged again. His voice was already a little hoarse, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness.

The fat man took a deep breath, as if he was making up his mind. "Okay, I told you, don't be impatient!"

"Mo Li is married." The fat man gritted his teeth and finally spoke.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Jun was like being struck by lightning. He froze in place, and the steak in his hand slipped weakly and fell to the ground. His eyes became empty and confused. No matter how strong the enemy was, his right hand would not shake, but at this moment, he couldn't even hold a piece of steak steadily.

"Married?" Liu Jun's voice was low and hoarse, as if he was confirming a fact that he didn't want to believe.

The fat man nodded, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness and regret. "Yes, Sister Mo Li, she got married. Because of an accident, she lost her memory and never recovered. Later, she met someone, and something else happened, and the two of them got together. They held their wedding some time ago."

Liu Jun felt his mind go blank, as if he had been stripped of all thoughts and emotions. His hands flipped the steak on the grill unconsciously, but he had forgotten what to do. His heart was filled with loss and pain. The girl who once had a deep friendship with him had now become someone else's wife.

The atmosphere around him became extremely heavy, and the fat man's voice echoed in his ears, but Liu Jun seemed to be in another world. He couldn't believe this fact, let alone accept this reality. His heart was filled with endless regrets and remorse. If he had cherished the time with Mo Li more, perhaps the result would be different.

The fat man looked deeply at Liu Jun's slightly absent-minded face, and the reluctance in his eyes was like ripples. He understood that Liu Jun's deep affection and persistence for Mo Li was like a wound that was difficult to heal, and it could be torn again at any time due to external triggers. However, he also knew clearly that Liu Jun would have to face this matter sooner or later. After all, the truth could never be hidden for long.

He was really afraid that after Liu Jun returned to the human world after going through so much hardship from the God Realm, he would see Mo Li already with someone else. What would Liu Jun do at that time? Would he vent everything in anger, or leave in despair? Fatty didn't dare to imagine, nor did he want to see such an outcome.

The reason why he chose to tell Liu Jun now was to give Liu Jun some time to buffer. Fatty firmly believed that time was a good medicine, which could slowly heal the scars in people's hearts, making the pain of the past blurred or even forgotten. What if time could really dilute the scars in Liu Jun's heart and allow him to let go of the past?

"Brother Jun, the steak is almost burnt." The fat man sighed and broke the silence. His voice was full of helplessness and worry. He hoped that Liu Jun could hear his reminder and come back to his senses.

Hearing the fat man's words, Liu Jun suddenly woke up from his dream. He suddenly came to his senses and found that the steak in his hand was a little burnt. He quickly handed the grilled steak to the fat man, with a hint of apology in his eyes.

The fat man took the steak and looked at Liu Jun's still slightly pale face. He felt even more sorry for him. He then gently patted Liu Jun's shoulder and comforted him: "Brother Jun, if you feel uncomfortable, just cry. I'm the only one here, no one will laugh at you."

Hearing this, Liu Jun smiled bitterly, shook his head, and looked up at the sky. The blue sky seemed to contain endless secrets and unknowns. He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to absorb all the pain and depression into his chest, and then turn it into a wisp of light smoke and drift away with the wind.

In the end, he chose to remain silent, quietly picked up a piece of steak, and ate it silently. He chewed every bite so hard, as if he wanted to put all his emotions into this simple action.

If Mo Li's amnesia and the subsequent marriage that seemed to be quietly arranged by the hand of fate had nothing to do with the almighty heaven, he would not want to believe it from the bottom of his heart. After all, everything in this world seemed to be unable to escape the invisible control and manipulation of heaven.

However, even if he now understood that all these twists and turns and changes were inextricably linked to the Way of Heaven, what could he do? Would he be so angry that he would kill his way up to the sky and compete with the illusory and supreme Way of Heaven?

He knew clearly that he was not the legendary Monkey King, and did not have the ability to change the weather and wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace. He was just a mortal, a tiny existence in this vast universe.

Thinking back to everything that happened before, he was still wondering why he helped Tushan Susu survive the life-threatening disaster, and even destroyed the incarnation of Heaven at all costs. Given Heaven's ruthlessness and revenge, why didn't it send down a devastating divine punishment to punish him when he was alone?

Now, he finally understood everything. It turns out that the knife stabbed into the flesh, although painful, will heal one day; but the knife stabbed into the heart is so unforgettable that it can never be erased. The punishment of heaven for him is not to destroy his body directly, but to let him slowly taste the pain of losing his beloved in endless pain and struggle, as well as the helplessness and sadness brought by being teased by fate.

The fat man looked at Liu Jun and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that time could really become a good medicine and allow Liu Jun to get out of the haze as soon as possible.

After eating and drinking, the two of them became very silent. The fat man wanted to speak several times but didn't know what to say.

He knew Liu Jun's current state, which should be considered as a broken heart. The key point is that he has never been in a relationship since he was a child, so he didn't know how to comfort him.

Fortunately, just when the atmosphere was about to freeze into ice, the figures of the ape man and the tiger-striped man finally appeared.

Their return was like a breeze that gently blew away the suffocating awkwardness and dullness around them.

"What a nice smell!" As soon as the tiger-striped man came over, he seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and his eyes instantly locked on the grill that was placed in the corner and had not yet been put away. On the grill, eight or nine golden and crispy grilled steaks were emitting an enticing aroma.

Liu Jun looked up when he heard the voice, and his eyes swept over the slightly anxious figure of the tiger-striped strong man. "Eat it, it's left for you."

His voice was calm and cold, without any tone, like a robot.

When the tiger-striped man heard this, he didn't care about anything else. He immediately took a big step and walked straight to the grill. He grabbed a piece of steak without hesitation and started to eat it. His satisfied expression seemed as if he had forgotten everything around him and was only immersed in this rare delicacy.

The ape-man seemed calmer. He frowned, looked around, and his eyes stopped on the fat man.

He looked at the fat man carefully, with a hint of curiosity and doubt in his eyes. "You are the one he rescued from the birdman, right?" the ape man asked, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.

Hearing this, the fat man nodded quickly, "Yes, you can call me Fatty."

Fatty was not afraid of the appearance of the ape-man and the tiger-striped strongman. After all, he was already on good terms with the Bull King, so he could naturally accept the existence of the tiger-striped strongman and the ape-man.

"What's going on?" Seeing the fat man so calm, the ape man turned his gaze to Liu Jun, pursed his lips, and motioned him to explain the current situation.

However, at this moment, Liu Jun seemed to be completely immersed in his own world. His eyes were dull and empty, and his thoughts had long since drifted back to the distant human world. There, every bit of his time with Mo Li kept replaying in his mind like a movie: her every smile, every movement, every look... all made him intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.

The expression on the fat man's face froze for a moment. He wanted to answer the ape man's question, but didn't know whether he should say it or not.

"Broken heart." After a long while, Liu Jun finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse. These three words seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and also expressed the endless pain in his heart at the moment.
