Chapter 940 I'm Delighted by You
"Amitabha, the painting has been brought to you. Guangci has something else to ask of you two donors."
He collected his thoughts, warmed his wine, and said, "Master, please speak."
"The method of prolonging life and seizing the body is a forbidden technique that was destroyed by our Buddhist predecessors many years ago. If it were to be revealed, it would surely bring disaster. I would like to ask for your help in hiding it. Guangci would be extremely grateful."
Warming the wine: "Master, rest assured, the two of us will keep our mouths shut. We don't want to experience such a catastrophe again."
"Thank you, benefactor."
Fourth Master: "We should thank the Master."
Guangci shook his head slightly without commenting: "Guangci, goodbye. It will be a long time before I leave. Take care, my two donors."
"Master, wait."
Wenjiu called him and asked someone to go to the carriage and take out the package.
"Master, take it with you. Here are two sets of clean clothes, some food and money."
Guangci was stunned and picked up one of the white clothes: "Thank you, benefactor. Guangci only needs this one white dress, that's enough."
Wenjiu didn't force it, just nodded, and watched him leave with the Fourth Master.
"Look, it's that evil monk!"
"Ah, bah! The evil monk is killing people! Beat him up!"
"That damn monk, I've been cheated by him for all these years! It's all because of him that my Liu Lang went crazy for so long. He only got better a few days ago."
"That's right, everyone, kick him out."
"Evil monk, get out of here!"
The Fourth Master saw this and couldn't help but frown: "This is too much."
After saying that, he was about to step forward, but Wenjiu pulled him back.
"Don't go over there, sir. Look."
The Fourth Master followed Wenjiu's gaze and saw Guangci carefully protecting the white clothes in his arms. He turned around in the chaos and shook his head at them.
The Fourth Master pursed his lips and stood still.
At the end of the alley, Guangci's figure gradually became blurred.
Wenjiu and the Fourth Master stood there for a long time without speaking.
"It's snowing." After an unknown amount of time, Wenjiu reached out to catch the snowflakes.
Fourth Master: "Wine..."
Wen Jiu: "Master, do you still remember the day we came back from the Northern Tour?"
The Fourth Master was stunned: "Huh?"
"That day, heavy snow fell. Braving the wind and snow, the common people knelt on both sides of the road to greet the monk. They bowed first to the holy monk, then to the holy monk. Their eyes were filled with joy and anticipation, their throats nearly breaking as they kowtowed to the supreme deity in their hearts."
The Fourth Master was stunned for a moment, then followed the wine's gaze. A gentle breeze was carrying large flakes of snow slowly down, thickening them. However, it still couldn't cover the debris strewn across the ground. Instead, it made the road seem muddy and filthy, making it impossible to walk on.
The Fourth Master finally sighed and reached out to help her smooth the snow off her head: "Let's go back, the children are still waiting for us."
"good."
The two did not get on the carriage, but walked slowly back on the crunching snow.
The Fourth Master pulled the hand that was warming the wine and suddenly said, "Jiu'er, these past two days, I've been thinking about a lot of things and had a lot of nightmares. I feel like there are some things I need to talk to you about."
Wen Jiu turned his head to look at him: "Hmm?"
"Jiu'er, in the past, I thought women were nothing more than beautiful objects. I'd marry them, take a look at them when I was in a good mood, and let them go when I wasn't. After all, women can't live without men. Even when I first took you in, I wasn't necessarily sincere."
Wen Jiu was stunned, stopped and looked up at him.
His face was actually more handsome than it had been a few years earlier, a cold, hard look tinged with determination. Wen Jiu almost couldn't remember what he looked like in the beginning.
In short, he is a very difficult person to appease.
"I also know that you, little girl, may not have admired me as much as you said back then."
Wen Jiu was stunned and couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth: "So you know everything?"
The Fourth Master glared at her and said, "I didn't know it at first, but as time went by, I naturally got to know your temperament."
After saying this, he tightened his grip on the warm wine and said, "In the past few years, you've traveled with me all over the country, from the disaster in Shanxi, to the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, to the catastrophe in the northern border that almost brought disaster to the world. I know very well that it's not you who can't leave me, it's me who can't leave you.
Sometimes I think that it is all thanks to you that I am where I am today.
On the other hand, if Jiu'er doesn't marry me, she can marry someone else and it won't be bad either."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wen Jiu was at a loss for words: "I am Jiu'er's lucky star, Jiu'er's life."
Her life, everything she had, was because he was the Emperor.
She didn't even put her heart into practicing the martial arts. If it weren't for the Fourth Master pulling her to upgrade, who knows what she would be like now. Why would this person think like this?
The fourth master twitched his lips and said, "Don't try to fool me yet. Wait until I finish speaking."
He forced his lips to straighten, and continued: "Over the years, we have met many people, many of whom are deeply sentimental. Regardless of whether they are good or evil, when they treat those who are loyal to them, they often make me feel guilty.
I'm actually afraid, too, that one day I'll end up in their shoes. Just like Tan Luan, I don't know if I'll make the same choice as him if I find myself in his shoes.
"Master..."
Wen Jiu was a little dazed, and couldn't help but recall the crazy look of the Fourth Master in the previous memory fragments.
"Jiu'er, I said so much because I want to tell you, Master...Master..."
"Hmm?" Wen Jiu looked at him: "What's wrong, sir? Tell me."
"Master...Master loves you, Jiu'er. From now on, Master will definitely treat you well. Master knows that you want to stand by Master's side with dignity, as Master's wife..."
"Master!" Wenjiu suddenly stretched out his index finger and pointed it at the Fourth Master's mouth.
"Master, you don't need to say more. I am satisfied to hear you say this. What's your status? It's just a thing outside of your body. If I get it, I am lucky. If I lose it, it's nothing. The most important thing is that I know that you like me."
The fourth master looked at Wen Jiu with a smile on his face and couldn't help but curl up his lips: "I like you."
"Okay, I promise."
"What?"
"Master Xu is pleased with me."
“…”
"I say, how many secrets do you have to share? Can't you talk in the house? Besides, the child is here." Jiu Ye sniffed with cold, and finally shouted out in the carriage when he couldn't bear it anymore.
At the same time, Erbao, who was climbing onto the carriage on tiptoe, was stunned and immediately raised his hands: "No, no, I definitely didn't come here to eavesdrop. My brothers are very honest and definitely didn't sneak out."
Wenjiu and the Fourth Master looked at each other silently.
After a while, the Fourth Master took out one after another from under the carriage seat.
Jiu Ye hugged his shoulders and sneezed, shaking his head: "Yo ho, one, two, three, four, not one less, all here."
Fourth Master: "...Tell me, when did you come?"
Sanbao: "When I heard my father say that he loves my mother..."
"No!" Dabao interrupted Sanbao immediately: "We were in the carriage and definitely didn't hear Ama talking."
Erbao: "Yes, I definitely didn't hear Ama say Xinyue E'niang!"
Sibao nodded vigorously: "Yeah, yeah, yes, yes."
Fourth Master: “…”
Warming wine: "......"
Jiu Ye: “Hahahaha…”
Tenth Master: "Wow, let's go quickly. The Emperor won't see his grandson soon, I'm afraid he'll have to look for him!"
"Here I come."
