Chapter Sixty Leaving South Temple

  I don't know why Ying Zheng suddenly got so angry, I turned my head back to Old Man Guo. At this time, Old Man Guo's face was extremely pale, but he still held my hand and said: I want to be buried in the South Temple... You must take me there... I want to see Hui Pu and Mu Zhong again!

  I nodded, which was equivalent to agreeing with Old Man Guo. Old Man Guo let out a long sigh, as if he had put down all the resentment in his heart.

  I let go of Old Man Guo's hand and took a few steps back before kneeling down in front of him.

  "Fei Yu can't see you off now, so I'll take care of it. You've watched us three kids grow up since we were young, and that's not bad for us either. Today we part ways, only to meet again in the next life. Thank you for raising us, thank you for teaching us, and thank you for guiding us. Uncle Guo, goodbye."

  After saying that, I kowtowed to Old Man Guo three times. By the time I lifted my head up, Old Man Guo had already stopped breathing. However, there was still a hint of a smile on his face.

  I stood up and calmed down a bit before heading in the direction of Yin Zhouyang.

  Zheng was furious, staring at Yin Zhouyang, who also seemed to be stunned by Zheng's slap. I walked up to Zheng and patted his shoulder, indicating that I would take care of the rest.

  "I don't want to kill you." I looked at Yin Zhouyang and said seriously. "But if you want to take action against the Tenth Tail, I have no choice but to kill you. I don't want to sow any karma with you, I just want this matter to be settled like this. That woman has been using you for so many years, probably you know nothing about it. Since she's already dead, let's just settle this matter like this."

  Yin Zhongyang glared at me with a fierce expression, giving me the feeling that something was about to erupt from his body. I furrowed my brow and looked back at him, trying to guess what it was that was going to explode when suddenly I thought of the first time Yin Zhongyang and I had clashed.

  Primordial Chaos, the Primordial Era's Four Great Fierce Beasts' Chaos.

  I furrowed my brow, and saw that the man beside me was also tense, as if he too had sensed something amiss. The man glanced at Ying Zheng, who seemed to have made up his mind, nodded to him and said: Go.

  This sentence was like a command, and without any questioning, it suddenly pounced on him. Yin Zhou Yang hadn't even reacted yet when he was grabbed by the throat by the paw of the beast!

  Yin Zhouyang seemed to have never thought that Ou Ye would take action, he covered his throat, but still couldn't stop the blood from flowing out. I understand why Ying Zheng gave this order, what if Chen Xin had planted something on Yin Zhouyang again? What would we do then? Suddenly, I had an idea - what if Chen Xin, that woman, wasn't dead after all?

  He walked up to Yin Jueyang's body, felt his pulse with his hand, and then nodded at Ying Zheng.

  I looked at Ying Zheng, and suddenly felt that this First Emperor seemed to have aged many years. His face was very haggard, he sat on one side with some despair, and said in a low voice: Another one.

  "What's going on again?" I asked in confusion.

  "Another apprentice dead at my hands." Qin Zheng raised his head, smiling in disappointment. "I live forever, but I've personally killed one apprentice after another. The reason is simple - they coveted my immortality. You tell me... what's good about living forever? Why does everyone want it? Eternal loneliness, who wants that?"

  I didn't answer Ying Zheng's question, but instead walked to Kong Yī's side. Kong Yī was helping Old Man Guo attain enlightenment, and I didn't disturb him, just quietly listening on the side. Ying Zheng let out a long sigh, stood up, and began walking towards me.

  "Next time we meet, I might just take action against you." Qin Zheng said seriously after looking at me.

  "We just have different stances. Apart from the things in our circle, at other times we can sit down and have a drink together." I raised my head to look at Ying Zheng with a smile.

  Qin Zheng looked at me with some surprise, as if he hadn't expected me to say that. He nodded excitedly and said "good" three times.

  I smiled at Ying Zheng again, and then continued to guard Guo Lao's corpse, without saying a word.

  Ying Zheng took away the tenth tail of the Qilin, I don't know what Ying Zheng will use it for. No matter what happens, we'll find a way out, won't we?

  When Zhao Feiyu woke up, he saw Guo Lao's master. Zhao Feiyu was almost unable to control his emotions, hugging Guo Lao's body in agony. I and Kong Yi didn't know what to say to comfort Zhao Feiyu, we just stood by and watched.

  Zhao Feiyu spoke to Old Man Guo for a long time, talking to himself. I and Kong Yi found a quiet place and prepared to head out towards the South Temple.

  "What should I say to Master?" Kong Yī looked at me and said in a very bewildered tone.

  "This is fate, and we can't stop it either. Since Uncle Guo wants to go back, let's take him back then. Maybe those three old folks also want to see each other, right?" I said expressionlessly beside Kong Yiyi. "Maybe one day, the three of us will all die too. When we die is just a matter of time."

  Kong Yi didn't say a word, but instead turned his head and looked at Zhao Feiyu with great concern, as if he was afraid that something would happen to him.

  As we left the Ghost City, we saw the remains of what was once a thriving city at the exit cliff. The Ghost City was where humans and ghosts traded, but now it seems to be in ruins. I let out a long sigh and turned around to leave.

  After arriving at Huai Tree Village, we saw Qiang Shu waiting for us at the entrance of the cave. When he saw us coming out, he was also stunned to see Guo Lao's body. Zhao Feiyu was very calm and asked Qiang Shu to help cremate Guo Lao, but before lighting the fire, Zhao Feiyu burst into tears again.

  Before we left, Uncle Qiang happily told me that the villagers had received the order from Qin Shi Huang and could leave the village. Qin Shi Huang let all of them go to the rivers, which was indeed an exciting thing for Uncle Qiang. After saying goodbye to Uncle Qiang, I got on the car and left.

  We arrived at the Southern Temple in the fastest speed. The Southern Temple is a temple near Dunhuang Mogao Caves, with very prosperous incense. When we drove to the Southern Temple from the side door, a gate-keeping monk made a gesture of greeting us and politely said: May I ask the donor to visit the Southern Temple...

  I pressed down the window, and the disciple must have seen the empty passenger seat next to me. His face showed a hint of surprise, followed by an outburst of excitement. He looked at us and said: "Mu Lin Ge! Da Shixiong! You're both back!"

  Zhao Feiyu, who had been quietly sitting in the back seat, also showed a hint of a smile. He stood up from the back seat and said to that disciple: Hey! Didn't you see me?

  The disciple was surprised and exclaimed "Fei Yu Ge", then the disciple wanted to say that he would go up to inform others. I told him not to be in such a hurry, as there was still an empty seat at the back of the car, so I let the disciple get on the car.

  Upon arriving at the disciple's residence, the disciple immediately got off the vehicle and started shouting loudly: Come quickly! Eldest Master Brother has returned! Come quickly! Eldest Master Brother has returned!

  As soon as the car stopped, he saw an extremely familiar scene and his emotions were very excited. I and Zhao Feiyu also got off the car, looking at these familiar buildings, and a smile also appeared on the corner of our mouths.

  "Master!" I heard a familiar voice from afar, and when I turned my head around, it was exactly Dong Qingzi who came running over frantically. When she ran close to me, I smiled and gently patted her forehead.

  My dad rushed over with a bowl of white rice, and it was noon, they should also be eating. My dad saw me and said seriously: Ah! You're not dead yet! Not bad! Where's Old Guo?

  As soon as Dad asked this, the three of us fell silent. I just smiled at my dad and put the bowl in his hand into Dong Qizi's hand, then said: Let's go talk to Zhu Zai about it.

  My dad saw my reaction and knew something was wrong without needing to say much. He didn't say anything either, just followed us towards the abbot's quarters.

  Zhao Feiyu had been holding a black bag, inside which was Old Man Guo's ashes. On the way to Nan Temple, I suddenly realized that time is a terrifying thing. It seemed like I still remembered the scene of my first meeting with Old Man Guo, but by the time I came back to myself, Old Man Guo had already left.

  I don't know why Qin Zheng wanted to kill Old Man Guo, and I don't want to know. With Qin Zheng's eccentric temper, who can see through it?

  When we four walked into the abbot's quarters, Kong Yiji's emotions became even more agitated.

  "Come in." A hoarse and low voice suddenly sounded, presumably Master Hewlett already knew we were coming.

  We pushed open the door and walked in, and my dad said casually: Hewitt, these kids...

  "Give me Jianhua's ashes." My dad hadn't even finished speaking when Master Hewlett interrupted him.

  My dad's smile has completely stiffened. He must have thought of this ending, but he just didn't want to admit it. Master Hewlett's words had already clearly told my dad that Old Guo was really dead.

  Zhao Feiyu handed over the black bag in his arms, and Master Hewlett opened it and took out a box containing Guo Lao's ashes. He looked at the box and suddenly smiled: "Jianhua, we three old brothers are reunited again."

  It was just a simple sentence, but I could hear the bitterness in it. The atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point, and everyone fell silent.

  "You three hurry back, probably haven't eaten yet? Go eat first and then come over to tell me what happened." Master Hewlett looked at the three of us and said with a smile.

  The three of us nodded and left.

  When we arrived at the dining hall, everyone's attention was focused on us three people. To be precise, it was on Kong Yiren. Kong Yiren had returned to secular life in a hurry back then, and probably only a few people knew the real reason. Everyone was guessing the reason, and this time Kong Yiren was back, they wouldn't stop asking him until he got annoyed.

  "Big Brother Shifu, I heard you returned to secular life for a woman?"

  "Who told you such nonsense? Eldest Senior Brother, they say you've become worldly because the smell of blood is too overwhelming..."

  "Big Brother Master..."

  This guy shouted out a sentence of "Big Brother", empty one was not annoyed, but instead annoyed Zhao Feiyu and me.

  I slammed the meteorite onto the table, and Zhao Feiyu also slammed the demon-suppressing pen onto the table. This was undoubtedly telling the people around us that we just wanted to eat quietly.

  Those disciples fell silent for five seconds before ignoring me and Zhao Feiyu, continuing to call out "Big Brother Master".

  Can't stand it, absolutely can't stand it. I stood up and roared: Damn it! I just want to eat quietly! Whoever dares to make a sound again, I'll send you all a group of ghosts for free!

  It's really quiet now.

  The reason is not what I said, it's because Master Hui Pu has arrived.
