Ning Shu, who was silently comforting the children, was stunned when she heard this. She stood up and carefully looked at Duan Chang Feng's yellow and skinny skin. Even the light in her eyes was dim, like an oil lamp that had been flickering for decades and finally reached its end. Her heart sank, "Mr. Duan, you …"
Duan Chang Feng waved his hand indifferently and nodded gratefully to Xiahou Qing, "If it weren't for your help, I would have long rotted away. Now that he was nearing the end of his lifespan, he had to return what he had stolen. Now that Ming Zhen's grievance has been exposed to the world, the debt of gratitude has been paid. In this world, I no longer owe anyone anything except for one person. I have wronged her in my entire life. It's time for me to go to the Yellow Springs and apologize to her.
As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously looked at Ning Shu. His eyes were filled with nostalgia and regret, as if he was looking at an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
Ning Shu's heart moved, "Mr. Duan, are you talking about … my master?"
Duan Chang Feng tilted his head and looked at the distant mountains and lonely white clouds. After a long time, he nodded slightly, "Yes."
A speculation collided in her heart, making Ning Shu unconsciously frown. She couldn't help but complain, "So, the person my master said before she died that she would never see again in this life, was you?"
"Never see again in this life … So she still blamed me even when she died …" Duan Chang Feng seemed to be hit by a huge sadness. His footsteps became weak and he almost fell.
Xiahou Qing heard him and supported him, "Little Shu, let's listen to Mr. Duan first before you make a decision."
Duan Chang Feng waved his hand, "Don't blame her. It was my fault. I wronged Xiao Ci." His eyes were filled with sorrow and regret. He clutched his chest and coughed heavily for a long time before leaning against a large locust tree and slowly recounting the events of the past. "Your master and I were fellow disciples of the same sect. You could say that we were childhood sweethearts, and we both studied under the Frost Robed Holy Hand."
"Cold Cloth Divine Hand?" Hearing this name, Hui Mo couldn't help but excitedly interrupt, "Is it the legendary Cold Cloth Divine Hand Qin Ran? He's my idol! "
Duan Chang Feng nodded, his expression full of bitterness, "That's right, our Master is a strange and eccentric Divine Man. He is an expert in the art of divination, the Book of Changes, the Eight Trigrams, curing diseases, and poisoning. It seems that apart from martial arts, there is nothing in the world that he doesn't know. Even farming, cooking, and brewing tea, he can do something different from others. His greatest hobby in life is to study all kinds of techniques that he doesn't know how to master, and then after mastering them through a comprehensive study, he will show them off to us. Among them, the one he was most proud of was that he had developed a set of methods for investigating corpses and solving cases that were completely different from the "Collection of Innocence". It was unprecedented.
It could be said that he was an out-and-out Old Urchin. We were all picked up by him from the side of the road. He didn't have high requirements for us. He only asked us to choose any one of his skills to study. So Eldest Senior Brother chose divination, Second Senior Sister learned the Eight Trigrams, I learned Master's medical scriptures, and Youngest Junior Brother fell in love with growing flowers and plants. Master was happy to see this. Only the art of investigating corpses and solving cases not only requires hard work, but also requires a naturally sharp root of wisdom, so no one practiced it until Master picked up Xiao Ci. Only then did he have a successor. At this point, every skill of his had a successor. Master was very happy and taught us almost everything. The only thing he forbade us to do was to go down the mountain and get involved in the secular world. If we violated this rule, we would be kicked out of the sect.
He said that the secular world was too chaotic, and people's hearts were treacherous. Once someone with a weak mind got involved, they would be crushed to pieces. But … but … every little boy who just grew up and didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, how could he restrain the restless heart of the secular world … "
