Chapter 450 Extra 2 My name is Tu Qingnu (3/)

The master is dead.

She died after she last said those words to me.

Obviously, every step of this question and answer game is her favorite process.

As long as I ask this, she will be very happy. This is a fact, and I think so this time.

But something is different this time, the master is dead.

Master is dead, what should I do?
I don’t have a master anymore
What should I do, I don’t have a master anymore? !
I stayed under the acacia tree for a long time that day, and decided to cut it down and carry Master on my back to Kunlun.

I don't want to see the acacia tree, and I hate Gong Shuji who betrayed Master, but I know Master definitely wants to go there.

She was only one step away from the sacred mountain and the day she wanted. I was unwilling to give in and I knew she would not be willing to give in.

Before that, I might be able to follow the path that Master walked and walk through the great rivers and mountains.

So, on the day of Master's 91st birthday, I really carried her on my back and went on a 'just go' trip.

I went to look for the Wanyao where Master lived and grew up, but I couldn't find it.

After asking around a lot, I found out that Wanyao had changed the name of the village because it had no bowls and the kiln was no longer open. It was changed to——

Longevity Village.

People around me said that this village is famous for its elderly people, so there must be something blessing in the village.
I went in and walked around and found that this was not a village worthy of praise at all.

The disadvantages of abandoning baby girls back then have been completely exposed. There is no trace of women here at all, but everyone is still so unwilling to make progress. They have greedy mouths and wait for meat to fall from the sky.

There are some very old men in the village, hiding behind the doors and peeking at me, like ghosts.

Their eyes told me that if I hadn't been carrying Master on my back, they would have definitely rushed up to me.
There is indeed a reason why the master did not return to this village. This village is very disgusting.

I went to see Master's mother again, but she didn't see me.

The female ghost who said she would protect everyone, but couldn't even protect her own daughter, hid in the cave and drove everyone away. She neither saw me nor Master.

What a cool mother.

I felt worthless for my master, so I stood outside the cave and cursed for a while, and then she quietly said——

She has become a mountain spirit and wants to tell me a past incident about Master’s second uncle.

I followed the direction she pointed out and found the place where Master's second uncle died.

What shocked me was that there was actually a white skeleton sitting in the bamboo forest that should have been empty except for photos from the past.

To be honest, my first reaction was -

"Could this be a damn public loss?"

But upon closer inspection, I discovered that the truth may be far more complicated than I imagined.

Because the two arms of the corpse were intact, and one of Gong Shuji’s arms is still hanging on my master’s hand.

really weird.

Apart from the people who experienced this incident back then, and the mountain spirits who are familiar with mountain affairs, who else would know this address?

I searched the bones carefully and finally came up with a guess in my mind——

It's the public's revenge.

This corpse is the corpse of Gong Shuqiu.

Everything he carried, his clothes, and even a small seal were engraved with a small word 'Qiu' for signature.

I don't have a brain as flexible as my master's, and I don't understand why Gong Shuqiu died here, but come on, master's enemies still need to be dealt with properly.

I stretched out my hand to break Gong Shuqiu's bones into pieces, but as soon as I stretched out my hand, I discovered something was wrong.

It turns out that the reason why this corpse can sit cross-legged stably is because there is a tombstone leaning on its back.

I turned around, the bones fell over, and the tombstone came out.

The two names on the tombstone made my already unclear mind even more confused.

The tombstone says——

[The Tomb of Kaogong Shuqiu] [The Tomb of Concubine Xu Qingqing]

There is nothing wrong with the tombstone and there is nothing wrong with the writing.

I also roughly know that Kao Yi refers to parents.
But, the most uncomfortable thing about this is——

I have just judged that the corpses outside are from the public.

If the bones buried in this tombstone are those of Gong Shuqiu and Xu Qingqing, who is this person outside?

I couldn't figure it out, but I was pretty good at it, so I dug out the coffin under the tombstone, pried open the coffin board, and let the bones inside the coffin reveal their body shape to me.
The color of the shroud on the smaller corpse was also brighter, so it was obviously that of a woman.

And the male corpse was missing an arm.

The bones inside the coffin are the ones Gongshuji has committed, but why does it say on the tombstone that the ones inside are Gongshuqiu?
I sat on the coffin and thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out the reason.

But now that they are here, none of these bones can escape my hands, and they have to be smashed into ashes by me.

I first smashed the skeleton outside, and then dug out the broken-arm skeleton in the grave. After that, I saw the notebook underneath the bones.

It is not quite accurate to say that it is a note, because most of the cowhide-covered book is blank, with only a few written pages.

I turned the note upside down and started reading. The first sentence of the first line on the title page was exactly——

[My name is Gong Shuji.

My mother passed away when I was young. After the Snow Mountain Day, my father worked with the Five Powers God to find a way to exchange souls for me and his body. As a result, I woke up in his body, but my father passed away.

Now, in compliance with my father's last wish, I will share my bones with my mother's body at the place where she died in the past years, to comfort the spirits of the two elders in heaven. 】

How to exchange souls?

My eyes widened in disbelief, and I turned the page and continued reading——

【So tired.

Avoiding destiny, forcibly exchanging souls, and saving life span really didn't work. Not only was the head disease not cured, but the body also began to decay while I was still alive.

This act of rebellion against family ethics is not what I want.

I thought I was going to die, and I was prepared for it.

Unexpectedly, I opened my eyes again and killed my father. 】

The tip of the pen scratches many marks irregularly, leaving a smear, which shows the pain the author suffered unconsciously.

I curled my lips and continued to scroll down:

【I miss her so much.

It seems a little late to say this now, but I really miss her.

I heard about her reputation now in the south. It's good, she is just like that. No matter where she goes, she is the one who attracts the most attention.

And I deserve to rot and stink in a place where no one cares about me.

Whenever I dream now, I will dream of that roaring train heading towards Kunlun.

At the end of the dream, there is always a voice asking me——

If you had concealed the matter from beginning to end, you would have had a chance to grow old with her. Do you regret it now?
I regret it.

Of course I regret it.

But what I regret is why I didn't tell her everything right away.

If we had never walked together, never had a heart to heart, never gone through the ups and downs, experienced those things that were broken but full of hope, even if we had never discovered our true feelings, and never had that kiss on the train.
Maybe, everything will be fine, at least better than now.

I knew that I chose the wrong time to confess, but I clearly understood at that time that if I did not confess again, when the roots of the tree would become deeper and deeper, an even more tragic tragedy would be waiting for us.]

[I don't want to write anymore. No matter how much I write, it will be useless. Let the name "Gong Shuji" die with the original body.

I'm going to see her now, and look at her from a distance. She won't recognize this body.

Wait for me to take a look at her from a distance.
I went back to my parents' graves to wait for death. 】

Happy vacation, kids!
