Hunting Heart Little Mengxian: Rebirth and Raising a Wolf

Chapter 37

At the beginning, out of the original intention of protecting Jiu Xiaohan, she was asked to avoid too much contact with outsiders, visitors from the mountains, or other Taoist friends who might harm her intentionally or unintentionally. Keep her "grounded" in the enchantment he personally set up in Qingxinguan.

However, even if Wuweizi clearly knew that Jiu Xiaohan was born with the blue pupil ability with excellent night vision, and that she, who is now an adult, young and peachy, also has basic competencies and can go out Trying to carry out those "special missions" that can only be done at night; even, maybe, when she acts, she may have a unique advantage over other male disciples of the "Bounty Hunter".

However, until now, Wuweizi has not amended or eliminated the strict and relentless rule of "not allowing Xiao Shisan to break out of the mountain" for the sake of those so-called "possibility".

He didn't reduce the importance and preference for Jiu Xiaohan because of the passing of time, or relax the supervision of the enchantment.

From this aspect alone, it is enough to see that Wu Weizi, the "Taoist hunter" who has lived for more than 500 years, has "extended care" and "special care" for Jiu Xiaohan, the only female disciple in his life. treat".

These are well-known to almost all disciples, and are obvious to all.

Judging from the effect of "foot ban and strict management" in the past 20 years, the concept set by Wu Weizi is indeed very effective.

Jiu Xiaohan has always been wrapped in the love and care of her master and fellow teachers. It can be said that she has been growing up kindly without any foresight or immediate worries.

Except for the ten black wolf monsters who were "buried alive" in the cave, to the newly fledgling Jiu Xiaohan, she was just a pure-minded female cultivator with no experience in the world and no rank of hunting guard.

It is difficult for her to empathize with and deeply understand the human tragedies and loss of humanity that the "Seventh County Son of Yi" whose mother died tragically and who was offered a reward by his biological father to hunt him down.

It is also difficult for her to understand concretely and thoroughly what is the true meaning of "sometimes, the human heart is vicious and better than monsters".

The human heart is vicious, better than monsters, why?And when, how to stop it?

——This sentence was originally a question that the seventeenth junior brother Wu Yan once asked Wuweizi to solve when he sat alone with his master and discussed the Tao.

Back then, when Wu Yan asked this question, he was only seven or eight years old.

Even Wuweizi didn't think that at such a young age, Wu Yan possessed some potential of "seeing wisdom to obtain Taoism, self-nature not separated from dust".

The sun and the moon never change, the mountains and rivers are hard to change, but the world is impermanent; the mortal world is chaotic, how many people can reach the real state of seeing one's mind and seeing one's nature?
Life is only a few decades, and the most difficult practice for a person is to search hard in the long process of understanding the most natural self, but to no avail!

Jiu Xiaohan never thought about finding the whereabouts of her biological parents who left her in the wilderness 20 years ago; moreover, she never complained or hated them.

Perhaps, the biggest difference between Jiu Xiaohan and Wu Yan in terms of understanding the nature of all things in the world is that she is more able to "come and be safe" than him.

However, the "now" where she has been living comfortably and calmly is not always as peaceful as it seems.

At that time, she was still young and couldn't remember anything, and Wu Yan hadn't come to the Pure Heart Temple yet.

At that time, those "vicious human hearts" that Jiu Xiaohan couldn't bear at all were all carried by Master for her.

In particular, shortly after she was picked up from the snow-capped mountains by her master 20 years ago and brought back to the temple, rumors began to spread in the world, about Wu Weizi having an affair with monsters and having an illegitimate daughter.

Within a few months, the commotion was so loud that it was known to all the villages and towns in a radius of a hundred miles outside Qingxin Mountain, and it was almost squeezed into the ears of the king who lived in the famous palace of the imperial capital.

Among them, there are many demon tribes who used to be thorns in the eyes, thorns in the flesh, and enemies of the pure-hearted faction. They took this opportunity to spread rumors, confuse the public, and induce mistrust and misjudgment among the people who did not know the truth.

Those public slanders against Wu Weizi, overt and covert, although expressed in different ways, have almost the same connotation.

One of the most hearsay, erroneous, outrageous and distorted "vicious words" is:
It seems that Wuweizi "domesticated" a "half-human, half-demon" girl as his "pet".

There are some Mr. Ben who love to talk about this kind of bad taste. Based on these nonsense, he has deduced different versions of them in teahouses, post stations, downtown, and streets.

What's more, some rich people who love to hear such unethical anecdotes will pay a high price to specially invite Mr. Ben to tell them in their homes.

Moreover, during the listening process, the metropolis will ask some relevant "details" that they are interested in from time to time.

——But as everyone knows, those details are just a language and picture version of the "Spring Palace Picture" fabricated by the storybook gentlemen in order to get more rewards.

However, it is unrealistic to say that the rumors and wonders that are almost familiar in the streets and alleys are completely isolated from the high walls of the Grand Palace in Tiandu.

No matter what, there would be some fragments of words, one word at a time, following the southeast, northwest wind, and naturally drifting into the heavily guarded palace.

However, in those few years, the disciples of Wuweizi and Qingxinguan were valued by the Ninth Five-Year Lord and the nobles of the royal family, except for their irreplaceable ability to slay demons and demons. The most important point is that:
The Qingxin faction headed by Wuweizi must have a very strong "internal motivation" to assist the royal family, to help them "unify the thinking of the upper and lower levels" and "the stability of the country and the country".

However, those "powers" come from the original essence of human nature.

Perhaps, throughout the ages, in the eyes of some politicians, those who do not agree with themselves are all monsters? !
As long as they are not gods, as long as they are living beings in the human world, they will have selfishness and desires, and many want to possess things that should not belong to them.

Wuweizi is no exception.No matter whether he has lived for 500 months or [-] years, as long as he has not been promoted to the gods for a day, he must still have more or less inferior roots and weaknesses of human nature.

I'm afraid, if you don't check the files and records of the important letters sealed in the secret room of Qingxin Temple, even Wuweizi himself can't count them.

Those "bounty hunting guards" he trained and trained by himself, under the banner of subduing demons and demons, have done a lot of "dirty work" for the royal family to wipe out those so-called "remnants of the demon clan" ", "Tired work"!
Most of those who have been silenced and their clans have been accused of misconduct by those in power, or the "opposition" forces who have different political views from those in power.

At the same time, in the past, how Wuweizi used himself to walk on the "bright and righteous way" of subduing demons and subduing demons, and by the way, using some extraordinary strategies, cleverly arranged those few confidant disciples, How about "quelling" those groundless rumors that are unfavorable to him and insulting his reputation, and "cleaning up" those instigators who once talked about him and deceived the public?

As for the specific details of Wuweizi's actions of "reporting personal revenge", it seems that no one has ever cared or pursued them at all.

The incumbent only needs to "result"; while the outsiders only need to "live"!
Even if there is someone who has made enemies with him, and wants to care about it and pursue it, but, so what?

Recently, in the past 20 years, the concept of inaction and purity of heart has long been respected by the royal family and nobles as a status that is close to and can be compared with "National Teacher" and "Great General".

It wasn't until Jiu Xiaohan turned three years old that all the rumored "all kinds of things" between her and her master Wu Weizi completely disappeared from the smoke and fire in the streets and alleys.

It is conceivable how many unknown "things" Wuweizi has done behind this!
Perhaps, it was precisely because he had done so many things that the Qingxin faction gradually became famous and resounded among the nobles inside and outside the court.

It's just that there are many, many "things" in it, which Jiu Xiaohan doesn't know.Of course, Wuweizi would not let her know.

However, if you want her to never know, the only premise is: she must always keep her own place and stay in the enchantment of pure heart...

However, unfortunately, for several months, the "gu finger" used by the demon general Wu Sha made Wu Weizi ill for a long time.

Jiu Xiaohan will take "saving Master's life" as his own duty, in order to repay Master's kindness for adopting her for 20 years, and this will not waste the energy and painstaking efforts Master has spent in teaching her these years.

And, as for whether I will one day be able to become a veritable "Bounty Hunter" like other disciples of the Qingxin Sect, slaying demons and demons, and eliminating violence and peace.

——This time, breaking the rules and sneaking down the mountain, she didn't take the latter as the top priority.From the beginning to the end, curing the disease of Master Wuweizi is what she wants to achieve most.

Under the tree, in front of the grave, beside the fire, Wu Yu, the fifth senior brother, didn't feel sleepy at all.

I saw that while he was chewing the crispy scones with the "unique taste of Qingxin Temple", he was sitting beside the wooden tablet of the third senior brother Wusi, staring at the dry branches crackling in the flames, and he had been in a trance for a long time .

But Jiu Xiaohan couldn't even say "Sorrow and resignation".

A few days ago, when the second senior brother Wu Ci "went away", he was in the view of pure heart, and everything about the funeral should be kept simple.

At that time, the big brother Wu Zheng was also like this, he just stood by the brazier where the paper was burned and stared blankly all night.

When he was about to carry the coffin out of the funeral the next day, he realized that his eyes were almost going blind.

Since that time, Eldest Senior Brother seems to have changed into a different person, cruel, murderous, irritable, taciturn...

Even so, no matter how great the achievements and the rewards, he never distributed any of his trophies to the other disciples of the Qingxin Temple, and the novelty objects that the juniors and juniors liked.

Originally, Jiu Xiaohan thought that the senior brother was only sad because of the sudden death of the second senior brother; after a while, it will get better.

Later, Wu Yan, the seventeenth junior brother, told Jiu Xiaohan the truth in private:

It was Master Wuweizi who was worried that his most powerful apprentice would be too indulged in the brotherhood and miss the main task due to small mistakes, so he cast the forbidden technique of "Severing Love Curse" on him, completely destroying Wu Zheng's heart That thread of thought that has nowhere to rest.

Therefore, before, when Jiu Xiaohan heard outside the door of Master's quiet room, and the master said that if Wu Yan couldn't let go of the "special" to Jiu Xiaohan, he would use the love-breaking curse on him, Jiu Xiaohan suddenly felt a little bit of a panic. An unprecedented fear.

She was very afraid that Wu Yan would become like the elder brother, with a heroic and handsome appearance, although he would not look like a walking dead, but his heart had long since lost the unique spirituality of a human being. Consciousness and Soul.

In fact, Jiu Xiaohan didn't know at all why the fifth senior brother, who was already physically and mentally exhausted, insisted on keeping vigil for her and Liang Ziyu.

In Wu Yu's view, he can't die now, and he can't follow the person in his heart once and for all.

After all, a few hours ago, when the third senior brother Wusi was dying, he kept his breath until the end, just to ask his fifth senior brother to send a message to the senior senior brother who was performing another special task in Yi'an County. An emergency signal.

So, right now, the most urgent key issue that Wuyu has to face is to wait for a reply.

According to the usual time interval between the signal feedback between their senior brothers, it would usually not exceed half an hour, and he should be able to receive the signal from the senior brother to respond to him.

However, almost two hours have passed since the time when he sent the signal.

Looking at it now, the ugly time has passed, and if we wait another hour or so, it will soon be dawn; however, he still has nothing, and has not received any information.

Occasionally, Wu Yu would look over the burning bonfire in front of him, and look towards the farthest direction of Yi'an County, where the curfew should have already been turned off by this time.

Even though, he couldn't see anything at all, except for the pitch-black patch between the mountains and forests, and the Mokong where the moonlight was bleak and the starlight was mottled.

He looked at the lonely grave of the third senior brother Wusi next to him, feeling helpless and lonely, and whispered to himself, silently:

The loess of the dead brother is not yet dry, and the life and death of the younger brother are mixed,

Yexue's eyes dimmed, her lonely arms swallowed tears before the wind;
It's hard to get rid of each other forever, if there is no return date, who will offer condolences?
Winter comes and spring goes to silence and mourning, but the demons are better than the gods.

This used to be a eulogy written by the third senior brother Wusi to the second senior brother Wuci who died in an accident when he was alive.

Thinking about it, it’s only been a few days; now, it’s Wuyu who is saying goodbye in front of his grave, for him who is about to sleep here forever, listen...
