"What are you still standing there for? Go and cook." The old man in black said in a low voice.
Li Wan went to cook. With shaking hands, she took out a packet of medicine from her clothes, crushed it into powder with a rolling pin, and threw it into the bowl.
In the room, Su Zixuan held Cheng Ya's hand and asked softly, "Grandma, why do you want to be with Bad 그?"
Cheng Ya touched her head, with too much emotion in her eyes, and said, "Nannan, don't run around anymore, I can't find you anywhere."
Su Zixuan knew that her grandmother was not in good spirits, so she obediently grabbed Cheng Ya's hand and said, "Grandma, I won't go anywhere. I will stay with you."
The old man in black couldn't help but laugh and said, "You little girl are quite good at lying."
"Hmph, you are a bad guy, I don't want to pay attention to you." Su Zixuan said and turned her back.
The old man in black started to cough violently, his handkerchief turned red. He frowned and threw the handkerchief into the stove, where it instantly burned to ashes.
"If you don't go to the hospital, you will die." Su Zixuan said with a frown.
"It's just right that I'm dead, then you can escape." The old man in black said nonchalantly.
Senior Brother, Master, and Junior Sister are all gone...
In this vast world, power and wealth are nothing. Looking back on these years, how good has he lived?
Su Zixuan crossed her arms and said, "Humph, if you die, there will be no paper money to burn for you. You will have no money to spend and will starve to death."
The old man in black suddenly widened his eyes. This hit a sore spot for him. He suddenly looked at Su Zixuan and said, "Little kid, come here and worship me as your master."
"Why should I take you as my master? I don't want to." Su Zixuan refused.
"I have something very important to your aunt here. As long as you take me as your master, I will teach you." The old man in black tempted.
"My little aunt got something very important?" Su Zixuan heard from her mother that her little aunt had returned, but she hadn't seen her yet. If her little aunt got something very important, she would definitely be very happy.
She hesitated and asked in a low voice: "If I take you as my master, will you let us go?"
"Of course." The old man in black knew that he didn't have much time to live, so he agreed readily.
"Then..." Su Zixuan frowned. "How can I become your disciple?"
"Come here and kneel down." The old man in black said. "Tell me, I, Su Zixuan, take Li...Mu as my master today."
Su Zixuan knelt on the bed and followed the words of the old man in black: "I, Su Zixuan, take Li Mu as my master today."
Li Mu.
The old man in black closed his eyes. He had not heard this name for a long time.
His mother was beaten to death because the family had no money to support his father's gambling. He ran away from home, dizzy with hunger, and stole the steamed buns from his junior sister.
The senior brother pinned him down and beat him up.
But after that incident, the three of them got to know each other. The junior sister wiped the wound on his forehead and asked, "What's your name? Don't snatch my steamed buns next time."
"Li Mu."
In that dilapidated temple, the three men knelt down and became sworn brothers.
“We don’t ask to be born on the same day, month and year, but we ask to die on the same day, month and year.”
His vision blurred. Looking back on his life, it no longer mattered who was right or wrong.
The eldest senior brother values affection, he values money, the younger junior sister only has the eldest senior brother in her eyes.
All three of them were unsuitable.
After more than a hundred years of practice, all is in vain.
He started coughing violently. Su Zixuan frowned, stood up, picked up the bowl of water on the table and handed it to him.
Li Mu looked at the girl in front of him, took the water and asked, "What should you say?"
"Master, please drink some water."
"Hahaha, okay." Li Mu drank the water and threw the bowl on the ground, breaking it into several pieces. Under Su Zixuan's horrified gaze, he took out the half of the book from his pocket and handed it to her, "This, it's yours."
At this moment, Li Wan came over with a bowl of noodles. She cooked noodles one bowl at a time.
Her eyes fell on the old man in black.
The old man in black ate three or four times and then stopped moving. Soon he started to cough violently. His stomach ached and his eyes fell on Li Wan's face with a sinister look.
"You dare to poison me?"
"I didn't. I don't know what you are talking about." Li Wan pulled Cheng Ya up, "Mom, let's go."
The old man in black lay there motionless. Su Zixuan walked over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Cheng Ya went over to pull Su Zixuan and said, "Nannan, let's go."
"I won't leave, grandma. He's not feeling well." Su Zixuan said seriously, "He is my master now. I can't leave."
The old man in black suddenly felt relieved. He half tilted his head back and said with a smile, "Brother, this girl is of your blood, but she is my disciple. I didn't lose, I didn't lose. Disciple, remember to burn paper for me during festivals. Your master is too poor to live a hard life."
Su Zixuan nodded, not quite understanding.
"Mom, let's go!" Li Wan rushed over and grabbed the half book in Su Zixuan's hand.
She held the dagger in her hand, trembling with excitement. As long as she learned the above Taoist techniques, she would be able to compete with Su Xiaoluo.
"You bad boy, don't steal my book." Su Zixuan grabbed her arm.
Li Wan pushed her away, and she fell to the ground, crying in pain.
"Nannan is crying, Nannan is crying." Cheng Ya panicked. She looked at the book in Li Wan's hand and tried to snatch it away. "This is Nannan's."
"Mom, wake up. I am Wanwan. I am your daughter." Li Wan was about to collapse.
Cheng Ya didn't listen at all and entangled with Li Wan. Her eyes turned cold and she pushed Cheng Ya to the ground.
It's that she doesn't want to go with him, not that he doesn't want to take her away.
Cheng Ya fell on the bed, muttering, "Don't take Nannan's things, don't do that."
She hugged Li Wan's legs tightly, not letting her leave.
The old man in black said, "If you don't leave, Su Xiaoluo will come over."
Li Wan bit her tongue, she couldn't stay here, she didn't want to go to jail. She tried to pry Cheng Ya's hands apart, but Cheng Ya was totally irrational and not afraid of the pain.
She raised the dagger in anger.
"grandmother!"
The old man in black rushed over and rescued Cheng Ya, but a dagger was stabbed in his back.
Li Wan panicked, and quickly left the place while walking back.
Su Zixuan just stared at the blood all over her body and stood there in a daze.
“Disciple, I helped you save your grandmother. Remember what you promised your master and burn more paper for me.” The old man in black completely lost his vitality.
"Wow!" Cheng Ya hugged Su Zixuan tightly and stopped her from looking.
At this time, Su Xiaoluo and Fu Ruting came and saw this scene.
Su Xiaoluo stepped forward and sniffed the old man in black's breath, but he was no longer breathing.
She counted on her fingers and said, "Fu Yuting, you stay here and watch them. I'll go after them."
"Okay, everything is simple."
Su Xiaoluo followed the footprints.
