Ten Thousand Postures of Whitewashing Master

That night, Cang was forced to watch his father's humiliation.

As a young man, he realized the dangers of the world prematurely. Many years later, until he stepped into the Buddhist gate, as long as he closed his eyes, he would think of his father's tortured posture and the low cry that he suppressed and refused to let out.

He forced himself to forget those unsightly pictures, but the more he wanted to forget, the more unforgettable it was.

So, he began to escape.

Di Tianyao stayed in Kunlun for half a month. Except for the first day, Cang deliberately avoided his father and that strong man.

Someone in the clan rumored: "The patriarch is lucky again by the emperor, and the movement can be heard across the courtyard wall, which is exciting!!"

"I heard it too. I didn't sleep well all night... I've never heard the patriarch scream so terribly. Are you sure it's luck, not torture?"

"You don't want to chew these tongues behind your back anymore. The patriarch has not had a drop of water for several days. If this continues, he will be played to death sooner or later."

"But I can hear how gloating in your tone, elder... That's right, if the patriarch is gone, you may be able to take over smoothly."

"Don't put it so harshly, don't forget that Cang Shuying relied on Emperor Zun to climb to today's position. Emperor Zun can make him rise to the top of the sky, and can make him fall to the bottom of the valley. It's time for me to take power!"

Cang covered his ears, not to listen to those gossip.

He knows that his father is stubborn, and it is not impossible to go on a hunger strike to stand in a stalemate, but he is a gentle and soft-hearted person. As long as he is persuaded to think about the overall situation, he will definitely let go of his hatred.

These people... didn't take good care of him at all, they just wanted to see him fall off the altar!

Cang cared about his father, let go of his grudges and went to deliver meals to his father.

The clansmen refused to help him, so he cooked the food himself. Considering that his father might not have much appetite, he just boiled a bowl of sticky and thick gruel, put a few dishes on it, and took it to the room while Di Tianyao was away. .

He saw a vague figure lying inside the tent, breathing weakly, as if he was not long to live.

He carefully pushed the tray in, took several steps back, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, never raising his eyes.

"Father, I'm here to bring you some food. You used to have a serious illness, and this will ruin your health."

The man moved, as if awakened.

"Forget it... just let me do this, let's go..."

"Father, are you going to abandon me, brother? You haven't brought brother home yet, how can you be willing?"

Yes, why would you...

After hesitating for a long time, my father took the porridge bowl.

He was physically and mentally exhausted, he didn't even have the strength to stand up, he ate two mouthfuls with tears, hurriedly wiped off the tears, and called Cang Jinqian.

Father's voice was weak and weak.

He said, "Help me up, I want to leave something for you."

Cang noticed the details in his words, and naively thought, if he didn't go there, could it be that his father would not leave his last words and was reluctant to leave.

Seeing his father struggling to support himself up, Cang went up to meet him, covered his father's scarred body with the quilt, knelt beside the bed and lowered his head very low.

His father touched his head, sighing helplessly and sadly.

"At the bottom of the ice-free pool, seven feet below the ice layer, there is a box left for you by your mother. Inside is the star sea meteorite she obtained from the ancient sword. How to make good use of it is up to you."

"No, I'm not suitable for blacksmithing by nature. My mother should leave it to my elder brother. I don't want to listen to your last words. If you have to say something, you can tell your elder brother yourself. I don't want to be a crow reporting sorrow..."

"Cang..."

His father pressed his shoulders, clearly wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

He didn't mention a word, Cang knew it well.

Father wanted to say that he owed himself.

He knew that his father was determined to escape.Whoever it was would be hopeless after being tortured so far. He couldn't overwhelm his father with the righteousness of the family situation. Even from a selfish point of view, he hoped that his father could be relieved.

Cang choked with sobs, he nodded, and did not refuse his father's last request.

"Okay, I know... I also know that my father has always been unable to let go of his brother who is living outside. If I can... I will help him."

"Cang..."

"Father, I'm leaving first, you... cherish it."

Cang escaped as if leaving the room, stopped in front of the door and looked back at his father, resolutely leaving.

He knew that he couldn't refuse, couldn't keep... because that would only be selfishly continuing his father's pain.

But he didn't really leave either, until the last moment, he was silently by his father's side.

Cang witnessed the whole story of his father jumping off a cliff.

The man jumped down with his back to the abyss without fear, staring at the sky until his death, but he didn't reach out his hand to the sky.

He wished he could hide underground and quickly end his embarrassing and ridiculous life.

Everyone is afraid of death and the torture of souls in purgatory, except for his father.

Because of his father... because of Cang Shuying, he had already endured a more terrifying and suffocating despair than the abyss when he was alive.

Fortunately, my father walked very cleanly, lying on the solid ice in the cold valley that has not melted for thousands of years, as if he was asleep.

The young Cang hugged his father who would never scold him again. Under the cold and bleak wind, the remaining body temperature of the man gradually disappeared, and finally froze in his arms.

"You know what you owe me. If you have the guts...you can live well if you have the guts. What kind of hero are you when you die? You're a coward."

No matter how far Cang dragged his father, he cried for as long as possible.

The moment the tears flow out, they will be frozen by the cold current, forming ice beads, which hit the ground with a crisp sound.

When he got to the non-frozen spring and the place he had chosen for his father to live in, the tears were exhausted, and the crying stopped.

He dived into the bone-chilling cold spring water, found the meteorite left by his mother, or his father, and smashed a square under the ice with only room for one person. With messy clothes, he stayed with his father for a long time.

He said: "Father... I didn't dare to call you dad before. I always felt that you didn't like me and would be angry because of my unauthorized approach, but now it's fine... If it is possible, I really hope you can jump up." Beat me up, scold me for being incompetent, scold me for being unworthy, and let me listen to your tiresome tirade again."

"Father, I know that you want to mention your brother when you explain the funeral. Whether you feel that you owe him and dare not talk about it, or you are ashamed of me and want to treat me as your only son, I will treat it as the latter. I I will find my brother for you and take care of him as best as I can, but if I can't do it... I can't force it, it's a big deal... I will be your son in my next life, and I will listen to you training me for the rest of my life."

"Father, I miss my mother... You always say that she is gentle and pleasant, and that she is a good wife and mother, but I haven't seen her since I was born. I always feel that it was because I was born that I killed her." Mother, so you have always disliked me, but it doesn't seem to be the case, because when you mentioned mother, you respected me, but you didn't have the love you should have...Father, you don't like mother, or you don't love her, right?"

"That's right. Parents' orders and matchmaker's words are never up to you. If you like her, you will be a ghost. But I don't think you have loved anyone before. Could it be... that Emperor Zun? You love him, He betrayed you again, so you are sad and give up, that's why you behave like this, right?"

……

"Father... I have said so many outrageous things, why didn't you react at all?"

"Father... I hid you here, and no one can find you. If I live up to your wishes, I will come back to see you. If not... after I die, I will come here to accompany you, lest you It's too lonely to blow the air alone."

"Father... I won't make you angry anymore, please wake up, okay?"

"Father, please..."

Calling out loudly cannot wake up the people who sleep forever in the cold valley.

When Cang Shuying disappeared, Emperor Zun was furious and ordered the Cang clan to find that person even if Kunlun was overthrown.

He strangled Cang and asked, "He, did he escape?"

Cang Bo calmly nodded, not hiding anything. "Well, he was a coward, and he ran away."

"Even you don't care?"

"I shouldn't be a burden to my father. I feel at ease when he escapes."

Cang's face showed the indifference that young people shouldn't have, perhaps Di Tianyao also guessed something, and let Cang go.

"Forget it, as long as he is alive, he has nowhere to hide, and he will come back sooner or later."

At this moment, Cang finally understood why such an unyielding father died. If the opponent was this person, there was no chance of winning. He clearly gave up his life in exchange for the lives of his two sons.

But Cang never thought about avenging his father, at least not at this time, he knew how much he weighed, and knew that he was as small as an ant in front of Emperor Zun.He is still young, why bother to fly to the flame?

Although Cang Shuying died, the Cang clan still had value in existence. Among thousands of swordsmiths, Di Tianyao chose Cang, appointed him under the watchful eyes of the whole clan, and recognized his ability.

Cang will always remember Di Tianyao's expression when he hooked his fingers to let him out of the crowd, with contempt and disdain for the world, but also with a trace of expectation and a little bit of guilt.

At that time, Cang wondered if in this man's heart... his father was still a little bit important, even if it was only a little bit.

So Cang ignored the envious or unwilling gazes of the clansmen, and followed Di Tianyao to the forbidden area, just to seek an answer.

He saw that man with his hands behind his back, always holding his head high, no wonder he didn't hear the sufferings of the world, no wonder...he couldn't see the unfrozen blood in the cold valley.

This person's heart is colder than a millennium's ice, delusional influence will only make him miserable, it is better to hurt each other and kill each other, and hitting a stone with an egg will always break him.

It's a pity that his father's death is of no importance to him, and he forgets it in an instant.

Di Tianyao stood by the ice-free spring, his palms hanging above the water, and his spiritual power smashed into the water with dazzling light, causing a huge splash.

Di Tianyao seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and asked Cang, "Do you know where this is?"

Cang Xiang replied: It is the burial place of your father, he will sleep at your feet, and he will never be able to open his eyes.

But he shook his head, without saying a word, seeing Di Tianyao open the secret passage under the Unfreezing Spring, beckoning him to follow.

"This is the forbidden place for the Guhuang's collection. Cang Shuying has guarded this place for many years, and the Guhuang is very relieved, so no one has stepped into this place in these years."

Cang felt a bit regretful, actually after his death, he let his father guard the ghostly place that ruined his life.

He asked: "Did Emperor Zun tell me this, did he want me to replace father?"

"No, it's useless to pile up more broken copper and iron in one place. Since Cang Shuying doesn't want to do this, there is no need for anyone to do it in the future."

Di Tianyao casually took a long blade and threw it towards Cang in the air. He caught it in his hand, it was so heavy that he almost tripped.

"You are not good at forging swords, nor can you quench blood, so how can you melt souls?"

"I've never tried it. My father forbids me to smelt weapons. He believes that every sword has a soul residing in it. If you smelt it without authorization, you will ruin your life."

"It's really his style, but what use are these wastes to the Gu Huang? Bai Hong, the lonely emperor ordered Cang to investigate whether there is a sword spirit lodged in this sword, but it has been fruitless for many years. It can be seen that it is a dead sword, so you should melt its soul to forge a broken snake."

"Baihong? But..."

Di Tianyao turned around and left, Cang chased a few steps, and said loudly: "But Di Zun! He has a spirit! He really does!!"

"So what? A noble soul that doesn't want to surrender is ruined, it's useless, what's the use of keeping it?"

"...Did you cause me to lose my father because of such a ridiculous and vulnerable reason?"

Di Tianyao raised his hand and slammed Cang back, the rootless young man felt a pain in his chest, he vomited blood and almost lost his life.

Obedience to orders was the first thing Regal asked him to learn.
