Chapter 4(1/2)
My first impression of my master is that he seems to be a god.
Because in the fire that I thought was dying, the moment before I fainted, I vaguely saw his figure coming leisurely from the sea of fire. The flames that could destroy everything seemed to have encountered some invisible obstacles around him and rolled out. Fengxue seemed to be avoiding his body and did not dare to touch his clothes. I was extremely shocked, thinking that this was an illusion before death, because such a thing would never happen to the mortals with physical mortals.
I saw him coming to my eyes lightly in a daze. He bent down, as if he was carefully observing our two children.
His eyes were bright.
I saw him seemingly laughing.
Then I was unconscious.
When I opened my eyes again and became conscious in my mind, I thought I was dead.
But I didn't see the thick smoke and flames. I tried to breathe, and my chest was still very uncomfortable and my head was still dizzy. But the air I was breathing was very fresh.
I was very sad and tired, which surprised me and proved that I was still alive.
I began to observe where I was, it turned out to be a dilapidated mountain temple.
It should be dawn at this time. There was still light outside the dilapidated window of the temple. From time to time, there was a cold wind pouring into the window and blowing on me, making me shivering.
I was surprised and puzzled, not sure why I was not burned to death in that fire.
Someone next to me suddenly let out a hum, and I felt nervous. I hurriedly turned to look and saw a child.
The memories from not long ago instantly moved in my mind, and it turned out that the child named Shen Mo was not dead either.
I was very happy. I grabbed his hand and said, "We are not dead, we are still alive."
Shen Mo's expression was also confused. He didn't know what was going on like me. He looked at me and suddenly started vomiting.
Like me, he was very weak after experiencing life and death.
"It's been two hours, I woke up very quickly."
We were all surprised when someone else suddenly spoke in the dilapidated temple.
I followed the sound and found a fire not far away, with only a few fires in the fire, so when I woke up, I didn't notice it. And there seemed to be someone sitting next to the fire.
If it weren't for the sound, I would never have thought that it would be a person. Because that person had been completely integrated with the environment of the dilapidated temple, at first glance, he would only think it was a vague shadow.
Who is that person? Could it be this person who rescued us from the sea of fire? Why did he appear in that manor? And why did he save us?
These questions popped up in my heart, but I didn't ask because I was completely confused at that time.
I saw the figure slowly standing up, looking tall and wearing an equally loose dress. When he walked closer to us, I found that this person had long and gray hair.
This is a man with a thin face, and he seems to be around forty years old.
When he approached us, we were both nervous and breathing became a little rapid.
Because it seemed that an invisible pressure appeared on his body.
The man came to us and squatted down, looked at us for a while, took out a gourd and said, "I added something to the wine I just had. Do you dare to drink it?"
There is a smell of vicissitudes in his voice.
He handed the gourd in front of us, as if he was smiling.
Shen Mo and I looked at each other, and we didn't dare to reach out to get it rashly for a moment.
"I'm not afraid of a fire, but I'm afraid of taking a sip of wine?" The man smiled. "I'm not old, but I'm so vigilant, it's not bad."
It turns out that the person I saw before fainting in the sea of fire was really him!
Seeing that we didn't speak, he seemed to feel a little awkward, so he simply sat down, shook the gourd in his hand, and said, "I know you two have many questions in your heart, so I will tell you the answer. First, I'm obviously an adult, not a bad person, but I don't think I'm a good person either. Second, I heard that a group of people have been killing people and setting fires in the past six months, and I happened to be idle, so I followed them all the way to see if there are any fun things to do. Third, I happened to come to this place and saw a house on fire, so I went in and took you two little kids out. Fourth, you two need to be recuperated after being injured. I have medicine for treating injuries in this wine, and drinking it will be good for your health."
He spoke out the answers to our two of us in one breath. Then he handed the gourd to us again and asked, "Do you want to drink?"
I was still hesitating, and Shen Mo beside me had already taken the gourd and quickly took a sip of wine.
He drank very quickly, and then he began to cough violently. He was staring at the man while coughing.
The man looked at Shen Mo's eyes and suddenly laughed. His eyes were shining with laughter. He heard him say happily and excitedly: "What a pair of eyes, it seems that this trip has not been in vain." He reached out and pinched Shen Mo's face and continued: "You kid have such a unique talent, and you shouldn't have died in the fire like that. I'll save your life, it seems that this is also a fortune."
Shen Mo was stroked by him so casually, but he didn't hide.
But I saw that the man looked at Shen Mo and it was as if he had discovered a priceless treasure.
"Did anyone tell you that your eyes are special?" The man looked at Shen Mo and asked him.
Shen Mo's eyes rolled and then replied, "No. But my mother once told me that it would be very rude to not stare at others casually."
When the man heard this, he burst out laughing again, and then said, "Of course, the ghost-eyed eyes cannot be stared at people casually, because it is not rude, but very dangerous."
Shen Mo was confused and confused when he heard this.
The man gently patted Shen Mo on the shoulder and said, "You are still young, and the people you meet are all ordinary people. Of course, I don't know what the situation is. It's normal."
Then he turned to me, seemed to frown, and asked me, "Why don't you drink?"
I hesitated for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
But the man was still looking at me and waiting for me to answer.
I could only say with a thorn in the air, "I'm afraid it's poisonous."
The man was stunned.
But this is indeed my true thought. I have thought of other reasons, but I know that that person can definitely see if I lie.
The man was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You are very honest, but you are also very kind." He took the gourd and said, "I have never liked to force others, you can choose."
This time I did not hesitate, and reached out to take the gourd from his hand and took a sip of the wine. The wine was very spicy, but after drinking it into my stomach, I began to feel warmth.
But not long after, I felt a wave of colic in my stomach, the pain became stronger and stronger, and my body was uncontrollable. It seemed that something was pouring into my limbs and bones, and then rushed towards my throat.
I was extremely frightened and fell to the ground with my stomach covering. I saw the same thing happening in silence. The pain made him roll on the ground like a shrimp.
The wine was poisonous! I felt a little desperate and couldn't understand why this happened.
The nauseous and strange pain made me vomit a mouthful of blood suddenly, and the silence also vomited vermilion.
I thought we were going to die soon.
We wailed in pain.
I heard the man's voice fluttering in my ears: "Your judgment is correct, I am indeed poisonous in this wine."
I'm already broken.
In despair, I felt my body lightening and I actually sat up. It turned out that the man lifted us up with one hand and pressed us to the ground, and then saw him
Press the palms on our chests and pat them gently.
I suddenly felt a heat flowing from my chest and swam quickly through my body, and finally gathered on my abdomen. It seemed like a fire was ignited in my stomach, which made me feel indescribable to feel comfortable.
I was immediately surprised and looked at Chen Si, and found that his face was also rosy and his spirit was completely different from the previous one.
The two of me looked at each other silently again, and both saw it on each other's faces and were surprised and puzzled.
Then we looked at the man at the same time.
The man was still sitting cross-legged in front of us. He took a leisurely sip of wine, and seemed to have no concern about what he had done.
"What did you... do to us?" Chen Si finally couldn't help asking.
The man shook his shoulders and said lightly: "It's just to give you some ordinary internal true energy, which can just save your life."
When I heard this, I felt even more uneasy and blurted out: "Then why do you want to poison us again?"
"Because if you don't spit out the silt in your body, your body will leave serious consequences in the future." The man shook the wine gourd and smiled: "The things in my wine can be killed or saved. Whether it is life or death depends on my mood."
Shen Mo and I couldn't help but be frightened when we heard this. The man's behavior in front of us was really unpredictable and his thoughts were extremely terrifying and unpredictable.
Seeing our faces showing fear, the man smiled leisurely, "I have said that I am not a bad person, but I am not a good person. But don't be afraid, since I saved you, I will not harm you. What happened just now can be regarded as a lesson for you: no matter at any time, you cannot easily believe a person. A little bit of wrong choice may kill you."
Both of us sank in our hearts, and after escaping from the sea of fire for a few hours, we experienced life and death again. The taste and feelings of this are really unspeakable.
We no longer dare to speak easily.
The man looked at us and said, "Since I saved you, it's my turn to ask, are you willing to answer my questions?"
His eyes seemed to have a sharp knife hidden.
We only nodded.
"Very good, then I'll start asking." The man said, "It's fate that we can meet. Can you tell me your name?"
After a brief silence, Shen Mo and I said our names one after another.
"My name is silent."
"My name is Xiao Yi."
The man seemed to raise his eyebrows and said, "The name is pretty good. Then tell me why you almost got burned there?"
His eyes were turning back and forth on our faces.
I lowered my head and didn't dare to look at him. I could only tell the truth: "Those people are enemies who killed my parents. They arrested me, so I will be there."
The man obviously knew that what I was saying was not comprehensive, but he did not immediately ask. He turned to silence, "What about you? Could it be like him?"
Silence did not hesitate and replied, "Yes, those people suddenly broke into my house and killed everyone in my house. I stayed there just to take revenge."
