The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 227 Goodbye
"I stole a can of dog meat soup from Master..."

"I stole a can of dog meat soup from Master..."

"I stole a can of dog meat soup from Master..."

After so many years, Yuan Mu finally knows what the so-called rolling thunder feels like.

If it is said that when Chi Dun talked about his sect, he only felt [-] grass-mud horses galloping past in his heart, but when he heard Dai Xia tell the reason why he was expelled from the sect, the grass-mud horses in his heart ran wildly. I have no strength left.

What Dai Xia said just now echoed in his whole mind, and the lingering lingering sound lasted for three days.

At this time, Yuan Mu finally understood why Dai Xia had that expression just now. Anyone who recalled that he was expelled from the school because of a can of dog meat soup would not deal with it calmly.

His performance like this is already considered good, but if it were him, he might not even admit that there was such a thing.

But this also made Yuan Mu understand why Dai Xia began to suspect that it was his own teacher just after hearing Chi Dun's casual example of his teacher's school.

This kind of teacher, this kind of master, I am afraid that there is indeed only one family in the world.

After a long time, Yuan Mu, who finally came to his senses from the strange deeds, said, "Master Ling... is really special!"

"I'm not Chi Dun, you don't have to talk to me like that." Regarding Yuan Mu's adjective, Dai Xia smiled knowingly, "It's been so long, I've already let go of what should be let go, you don't need to tell me how weird he is, I know it myself.”

"Hehe...hehe..." Yuan Mu didn't speak, but just laughed twice.

With such an awkward atmosphere and topic, he really didn't know what else to do besides laughing.

Although his disciple said he didn't mind, but as a big demon, he still has face, how could he criticize his master in front of others?
Especially looking at this situation, although he has been expelled from the teacher's school, the master still occupies a very important position in his heart. He said he doesn't mind, but who knows what he thinks in his heart?

One thing more is worse than one thing less, Yuan Mu would not be so stupid as to really complain about other people's masters!

"I know what you think in your heart, but my master is a very good person. He doesn't like to fight for fame and fortune, so he lives in seclusion in the mountains. I remember when I was young, many Taoist masters often came to the door to compete with the master, but the master His interest has never been in this, his interest has always been eating."

Dai Xia's expression softened as if recalling things from his childhood. He turned his head to look at Yuan Mu, smiled and said, "That's why I have been asked to learn how to track mice since I was a child. Catch animals in the forest and feed them to him."

"Then you must have lived a fulfilling life when you were young." Seeing that he was so eager to communicate with others, Yuan Mu couldn't refuse, so he said kindly, "Then what have you done since you left the teacher's school?"

"At the very beginning, I really thought that Master kicked me out of the school just because of a can of dog meat soup, so I determined to find the most delicious delicacy in the world, learn it, and make it for Master, so that he can eat it for him. If you eat, you will accept me as a disciple again."

Thinking of his simple and stupid wish back then, Dai Xia couldn't help laughing out loud: "It's just that I realized later that all these are just my own naive thoughts."

Yuan Mu, who originally wanted to complain about Dai Xia's strange brain circuit, restrained the expression on his face after hearing his last sentence, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Because I went back after I left, but the yard where I grew up was already empty. If it wasn't for the traces of the growth that Master gave me on the tree I planted when I was young, I would have doubted myself Did you find the wrong place?"

Dai Xia frowned as he spoke, turned his head to look at Yuan Mu and said, "But I have lived with Master for so many years, and I don't understand other things. I still know his character very well. If he is really angry with me So much so that he expelled me from the division and would not move at all, he would always live in the same place, waiting for me to come to apologize, and then eat what I made, no matter whether it was good or not, he would mock me."

"This kind of behavior of moving away without saying a word is not in his character. This kind of behavior is not so much that he is afraid that I will annoy him, it is better to say..."

"Escape?" Yuan Mu interrupted his words, "I know what you mean, you suspected that your master was in trouble at the time, and you were afraid that there was no way to protect you, so you just found an excuse to drive you away. It doesn't hurt you, does it?"

"That's what I think." Dai Xia nodded and admitted what he was thinking. He smiled at Yuan Mu, "Of course, you can also laugh at my wishful thinking, but..."

"Don't be disappointed, since you said so, I will trust your judgment." Yuan Mu turned a corner and interrupted Dai Xia with a smile.

"He can raise children like you and Chi Dun. I believe his character and bearing are not much different. Such a person, even if he is addicted to food, will not abandon himself just because of a pot of dog meat soup." You don’t care about bringing up a child with one hand. And...if I’m not mistaken, when you were expelled from the division, you should be around the same age as Chi Dun, right?”

"Yes." Dai Xia confirmed his guess, and then said: "That's why I know that Chi Dun is a member of the Taoist sect, and the reason why I cared about him after going down the mountain alone. He was about the same age as me at the time." , I saw him, just like I saw me back then, and I always wanted to give him some care and love."

"If you are still by your master's side, you will definitely be a good senior brother." Yuan Mu looked at his profile and said in a low voice.

"Thank you." It wasn't the first time I was praised, but this time, I was happier than all the previous compliments combined.

"So you still want me to help you hide your identity from Chi Dun and the others?" Yuan Mu smiled, and didn't take his modesty seriously, but asked another question: "Now things are going wrong." It's clear, there's no need to continue to hide it, right?"

"No... If possible, I still want to ask you to hide Chi Dun from me. There are some things I haven't figured out yet."

Dai Xia shook his head and said, "As I guessed just now, if Master drove me down the mountain because he was afraid of hurting me, why did he accept another Chi Dun later? To the point of being so talented and amazingly talented, besides, I know the master, he never takes these things into consideration when he recruits apprentices."

"Then what do you think?" Yuan Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and helped him analyze: "Tell me your thoughts, and we will analyze them together."

"I have no idea. This is what I can't figure out the most. Why did the master accept Chi Dun as an apprentice after I dared to leave? If it's because he is better than me, it's fine. At least he can please the master and accompany me. The master will not be lonely when the master is by his side."

"But you see, the current situation is that when he grows up to be as big as me and can live on his own, the master also drives him down the mountain...so before this matter is clear, I hope you can help me Confidential."

"You know the truth, Hong Yuan and the others can't hide it. They already knew about it. Now that your identity is confirmed, I don't think it's necessary to hide it from them."

Regarding his request, Yuan Mu was noncommittal but began to analyze the pros and cons: "After the two parties are open and honest, your actions with Hong Yuan will be less restricted, and she can also help you with certain things. Busy, it can be said to be beneficial to you without any harm."

"As for Yang Yang, I have already told him about you when you showed up at the door of the pastry shop for the second time to ask him for help, asking us to check the sourness, so he should have been prepared in his heart. "

"In this case, he doesn't need to hide it. Ning Yuan, who is a man with seven apertures and a delicate heart, can sometimes have unexpected effects. The two of them will work together to make you look sloppy in front of Chi Dun. It is convenient for your investigation. If it doesn’t work, the two of them can also help you ask some things that are not convenient for you to ask yourself.”

"After you say it like this, it seems that the only thing I need to hide is Chi Dun?" Dai Xia raised his eyebrows, a little dumbfounded, "I thought I was hiding it well, but I didn't expect it to be full of flaws in your eyes .”

"There are no flaws in the whole body." Yuan Mu smiled and shook his head to comfort him, "It's just a special period, we will pay attention to it, the most unbearable thing is a scrutiny, there is nothing wrong with it. If you think about it, it will be difficult if nothing happens!"

While the two were talking, the car had already arrived at a bar street. Dai Xia looked at the familiar scenery, turned his head to look at Yuan Mu and said, "Until today, I feel that I agreed to lend you a takeaway car to deliver food. What a right choice."

"I also think that the lobster rice that I called at that time was the right choice." Yuan Mu couldn't help laughing when he thought of the acquaintance between the two, "Okay, I will do what I promised you, and I will do it." Tell them to keep Chi Dun a secret, as for when to tell him, it's all up to you to consider."

"Thank you Lord Bai Ze." Dai Xia smiled and nodded at him.

"Call me Yuan Mu!" Hearing that familiar yet unfamiliar name, he smiled and said, "I've been in the human world for a long time, and when I don't associate with people from Taoism, I almost forget my identity." ...Okay, I won't take you in, it's not easy to park here, so be careful, come to the dim sum shop after a few days of vacation!"

"Okay." Dai Xia responded, opened the car door and walked down, then watched Yuan Mu's car turn a corner and disappear at the end of the bar street.

He raised his hand and waved it.In fact, he knew better than anyone else that Yuan Mu couldn't see it.

But it doesn't matter, he waved his hands not to say goodbye to anyone, but to say goodbye to his previous self. From this moment on, he is a new Dai Xia.

In the language of mortals, waving means goodbye, and goodbye is actually a strange word like willingness.

Only when there is sacrifice can there be gains, and when there is separation, there will be goodbyes. He remembered what the master said to him when he left the master and went down the mountain.

The old man with a beard and a wine gourd sat barefoot on a stool under the tree, looked at him who was still young and said, "Son, you have to know that in your life, you will always go to many places and see many scenery. , eat a lot of delicious food, let’s meet by fate.”

See you again by fate, he believes that he and his master will meet again.
