The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 635 Apprenticeship

"You, you are the old temple master?" Frightened, I asked something very idiotic.

Just because this sentence is very idiotic, the old temple master did not answer me, but said: "Going and returning, what is the so-called?" When he opened his mouth, his voice was not as thick as before, but faintly weakened, just like an ordinary old man .This further confirms my guess, the previous stable appearance, it seems that this old viewer pretended.

My heart tightened suddenly, my brain calmed down, I sat opposite the old temple master, and said: "You are injured."

The old temple master didn't say a word.

I said, "What did Zhou Xuanye do?"

He still doesn't speak.

I said again: "You don't let me see Tan Ren because he won't come out of the corpse hole again, right?"

This time, he finally spoke: "You are really smart, kid."

I just felt bitter, and said: "I have never been a particularly smart person. Whatever I do, I belong to the middle one. I am neither a hindrance nor a pioneer. But now I am a rare smart person, but I hope that I It’s better to be a little confused.”

The old temple master closed his eyes again, and said slowly, "It's rare to be confused in life."

I said: "What happened? Didn't you clean up the house? Why did you get hurt? Isn't it easy for Tan Ren to clean up Zhou Xuanye?"

The old temple master closed his eyes, and said lightly: "It is destined."

I took a deep breath and said, "I beg you, I'm just a layman, don't play charades with me, what is fate?"

The old temple master still didn't even move his eyelids, and said calmly: "You have asked clearly, what are you going to do?"

"I..." I was speechless for a while, yes, I asked clearly, what can I do?In the end, countless questions converged into one sentence: "My Lord, you won't die, right? You won't die in a short time, right?"

The old temple master finally opened his eyes, laughed out loud, and said: "By the way, this is what you should really ask. Some things that have happened, if you get to the bottom of it, it will only increase your troubles." He smiled slightly. , I actually feel extremely similar to Zhou Xuanye.

"I won't live long." He finished laughing and said such a sentence.

I suddenly had the urge to cry, and said, "Don't, you are injured somewhere, let's go down the mountain and go to the hospital for treatment."

The old temple master said: "It seems that you know about the dusty corpse."

I said, "I just found out, so I came to visit you right away."

He said, "Can't you see him die?"

I said: "I can't see it, I'm just an ordinary person, my good brother is going to die, I can't bear it, he was still alive and kicking when he left last time."

The old monk said: "He is dead long ago, so there is no need to be persistent."

I said: "If you are not persistent, why did you spend several years of energy refining him into a corpse king?"

The old temple master sighed and said, "It's too late to regret."

I said: "When you are old, you look away. I am still a young man, so I can't look away."

The old temple master said: "Then what do you think now?"

I said: "I want to know what happened at that time? Of course, I want to know more, how to keep him from dying."

The old view said: "If I live, he will live."

I said, "Do you know golden muscles and jade bones?"

The old monk said: "I know."

I don't think it's strange for him to know this. Tan Ren is the corpse king he refined. In front of him, Tan Ren should have nothing to hide.

I said: "If you are injured, I can save you, and you know, I am a good product to prolong your life." In fact, I was very uncertain in my heart, and the reason why I took the initiative to bring this up was because I knew that this The old Guanzhu didn't mean to ask me to save my life. He already knew my identity and my friendship with Tan Ren. He also knew that as long as he asked, I would definitely not refuse.

But he didn't speak.

Not before, not even now.

This kind of situation is very bad. Before, it was others peeping at me, which made me feel bad. Now this old viewer doesn't think about me, but I feel even worse, so I have to take the initiative to bring this up.

Hearing this, he smiled again and said, "I've had enough."

I endured the uneasiness in my heart and said, "But Tan Ren hasn't lived enough!"

He said: "I know. It's a pity that he died young."

I said: "If you live an extra day, he will live an extra day."

He said: "Life means death, and I will die sooner or later."

"But I want to save my brother. Isn't he your first apprentice? Why don't you ask him if he wants to live? Do you know that he likes stocks very much? Before he loses all his money, he is reluctant to die .”

The old temple master lowered his eyes for a moment, and said: "No need to say more, he has been sealed in the corpse cave, and I will die soon. If you really want to see him, it's just a corpse. Let's go."

I was so angry that I couldn't hold it anymore, and my whole body exploded: "Old Taoist priest, do you know how many people lined up outside begging me for bloodletting! I'm begging to cut your flesh and you don't even want to give it to me. Is it fun to be forced? You keep saying you love your disciple, and you put your lover’s body in a hole! If you have a chance to bring him back to life, why don’t you live!"

I jumped up angrily, but he remained calm. He left me speechless with just one sentence: "When my life is over, why do you want to keep him? His life is already over, how can you keep him? Young man, your The obsession is too deep."

……

…………

What he said seemed illogical, but after calming down and thinking about it, I couldn't find a reason to refute it.This old Taoist has seen life and death, how can I force him because of Tan Ren?
He has kept his lover for so long, how long can he stay?

Life and death, since ashes return to ashes and ashes return to ashes in the end, the old monk chose to end, so what qualifications do I have to ask him to stay?
For a while, we were relatively silent, and he closed his eyes and rested his mind, as if he had already become a feather.

My whole heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the valley. For some reason, the experience of Tan Ren taking me to punish traffickers came to my mind. Such a living person is actually a corpse?Later, I accepted his identity as the corpse king, but now, in the blink of an eye, I was covered in dust again and turned into a real corpse?

I sat opposite the old temple master for a long time, feeling restless all the time, not knowing what to do.

Just obey the old temple master's will, life and death follow the destiny?
He obeyed his destiny, but is Tan Ren willing to just 'die' like this?

No, I have to ask.

"Monastery Master, you have transcended life and death, your realm is superb, few people can match it, but I just want to ask, Tan Ren, your apprentice, has he lived enough?"

The old Guanzhu said: "When he entered the corpse cave, he knew you would come, so let me give you a message."

When I asked what, the old temple master said: "I want you to help settle Tang Yi's salary, he doesn't want to owe anything."

I smiled wryly and said, "You owe me, don't you owe me?"

The old viewer smiled and said nothing.

I know that Tan Ren's tortoise hair can't rub the sand in his eyes. He treats me as his own, so he left such an order. At this moment, I also made up my mind. As an ordinary person, my brother has something he can't let go of, and he doesn't want to die, so I have to do my best to save him.

So I said: "My Lord, I can't persuade you, you can show me another way, how can I save him."

I thought he would give me a rather desperate answer. After all, the old temple master has no descendants, but he said calmly: "Of course there is a way. I have only two disciples in the corpse refining line, so there is no need to mention Xuanye." I'm left with Gu Hong, but unfortunately, she is unclean and has no talent, so she can't pass on my mantle, but I think you are good." I was stunned, and said: "You want me to worship you as my teacher? What does this have to do with Tan Ren?"

The old Guanzhu said: "Pass on my mantle, the corpse king I refined can naturally be passed on to you."

I said, "Isn't there a blood relationship?"

"He is the corpse king, and he is different from ordinary corpse refiners."

I turned a corner in my mind, and suddenly felt like I was being tricked. Why do I feel that this old Taoist is clearly waiting for me here on purpose?

Huang Lian said that he wants to have another junior brother, is it true that he has become a proverb?

After finishing speaking, the old temple master stopped talking again, closed his eyes and rested his mind, as if you planned it yourself.

For a while, I don't have to worry too much about it, you know, even if you beat me to death, I never thought about taking the path of refining corpses!
