Lao Jiang and I stood up immediately.
When we arrived at the tavern, we discovered that the entire place had been booked. All the people who had been drinking inside had been asked to leave. From time to time, monks were patrolling the corner outside the door vigilantly.
"Let's go, Mr. Diao is waiting for you in the private room upstairs!"
After we went up, we saw the crow and the camel, who were like door gods, standing on each side, guarding the room airtightly.
Lao Jiang and I pushed open the door and entered, and the peacock gently closed the door.
After entering, I immediately saw the figure with his back to us, the familiar mink coat, and the familiar back. Everything seemed to have not changed.
The other party turned around, and it was the face of Mr. Diao!
There is no one outside now, and I am full of questions and want to burst out in a barrage of questions. It is obvious that Mr. Diao has died in the desert. Where did this person in front of me come from?
"With your intelligence, you won't be able to guess it." The other party seemed to know what I was thinking, and poured himself a glass of wine and reminded me.
I sat opposite him, not daring to move my eyes away from Mr. Diao in front of me for a moment.
Thinking of the inexplicable resurrection of Lord Diao and the inexplicable death of Yueyue, I actually already have the answer in my heart.
But I don’t want to tell you this answer...
Diao Ye, who was sitting across the table and sipping wine, suddenly said: "Yes, that's it, it's what you think in your heart."
This time he no longer made the hoarse voice before, but a feminine and playful female voice, and that voice was clearly that of Yueyue!
At the same time, she tore off the entire human skin mask in front of me, stroking it as if it were a treasure: "This is the last thing dad left for me."
"Although he said that it is up to me to decide whether to stay or go, I can't really dissolve the Samanas. I know very well that he has devoted half his life to the Samanas, and there are countless brothers there."
"But I know better that I cannot live without him even if I am a Samana for a day! Therefore, from now on, I am him and he is me."
Yueyue stood up. After seeing her for a few days, the greenness in her body completely faded away, leaving only her perseverance and determination, as well as her indestructible determination!
In fact, from our conversation in the desert, I knew that Yueyue was much more stable and profound than I imagined, but at that time, she was nothing more than a woman protected by her father.
Even if the sky falls, Lord Diao will support her.
But now, that unruly and willful young lady, the young lady who wanted to take advantage of me from time to time, is gone. She has grown up overnight, and is so mature that it is even scary!
Yueyue turned her back to me, with a vague feeling of desolation and loneliness: "Before he died, my father told me that he left me a box after taking a group photo in the old house."
"In addition to the sect master's token of the monk, there is also a human skin mask. Also, he, who has always been a cunning rabbit, has already figured out everything."
"This is the choice he left for me. Maybe he really thinks that I hate being a monk and want to disband this sect."
"But I finally chose to be him!"
"I can't watch the foundation he built with so much hard work be destroyed, and I can't watch the brothers who are practicing ascetics and being slaughtered by others."
"As long as Mr. Diao is here, everything can remain as it is."
At this moment, I realized how deep Yueyue's feelings for Diao Ye were. She took over this responsibility almost without any hesitation.
If Mr. Diao knew that his daughter loved him so much, he would be very happy, right?
But at Yueyue's age, can she really lead one of the three powerful sects in the tomb robbing world?
I hesitated to speak, but Yueyue had already seen my doubts. She told me: "I have an idea in my mind for a long time. I have discussed it with the teacher and Uncle Luotuo. The former one who was both good and evil Samana will slowly disappear, and I will teach them that in this place in the Northwest, there are many, many ways to support their families besides tomb robbing.”
"I hope the sacrifices of my father and Uncle Shahu will not happen again."
Lao Jiang sighed deeply. He wanted to light a cigarette several times, but finally gave up. But while drinking during the banquet, he murmured: "Master Diao is such a damn man."
During those days of getting along, Lao Jiang must have been impressed by Diao Ye's bravery and decisiveness. Without Diao Ye, we would have ended up in the desert several times.
During the meal, the atmosphere was so dull!
Yueyue didn't want us to be too emotionally burdened, so she deliberately restored her unique girlish charm several times, joking with us from time to time, and teasing Lao Jiang several times.
But I know that some things can never go back.
When they parted, Yueyue raised her head and drank her last glass of wine, and said with regret, "I will miss today forever. After today, there will be no more Shangguan Lanyue."
As she said that, Yueyue took out a small cloth bag from her arms and put it in my palm. I weighed it and it was very heavy.
Yueyue told me: "This is a token of the Samanagos. If you need me in the future, give it to any Samanakos you see and they will help me!"
I put the token away and Yueyue waved her hand: "Okay, let's go."
However, just as I was leaving the tavern, Yueyue's voice sounded upstairs again: "Li Jinglan, thank you! You gave me the last chance to get along with my father."
I looked up at her. At this moment, Yueyue opened the window and smiled at me like a flower.
That was the most beautiful smile she had ever given me in her life, but there was a touch of sadness in her eyes: "If we had met not on the tram, but on any sunny spring day with a warm breeze blowing, It would be great if the peach blossoms are in bloom."
"Um?"
I can't understand something.
Yueyue shook her head and said to herself: "Even if there is no wind or flowers, I still seem to be able to..."
Her voice became lower and lower, and the last few words were inaudible.
But what she said really confused me. The strange thing was that Lao Jiang was holding back his laughter along the way, as if he knew something.
I asked him what was going on, and Lao Jiang just came up with this sentence out of nowhere: "You are better than the old. As a teacher, as long as I had five points of your charm when I was young, I wouldn't be unable to catch up with Ximei."
This makes me even more unpredictable!
But this is not something I worry about. After returning to Qilin, we once again fell into the life of "half a day's leisure".
Every day, besides eating and sleeping, I read the book "Thirty-Six Secrets of Moving Mountains and Reclaiming Seas" from back to front. This time I was inspired by the three-eyed Li Jinglan in my dream, which gave me an insight into the "Thirty-six Secrets of Moving Mountains and Reclaiming Seas". The secret of the Six Secrets is progressing very quickly without even realizing it.
Lao Jiang put me to the test in a good manner, and then nodded with satisfaction, and even boasted: "In just one year, you are no less good than my teacher in finding dragons' acupoints and cracking mechanisms. To put it simply, The best apprentice I have ever had!"
In response to this, I could only smile bitterly: "All the bad ones will die, okay?"
