nine coffins

Chapter 6
At night, the moonlight is like water.The whole Liu Town was quiet and peaceful, and the lights of Wang's house were also turned off early.

However, in the backyard of the Wang family, Wang Jue stood with his hands behind his back among the nine coffins of different shapes, looking up at the night sky.His face was calm, there was no sorrow or joy in his eyes, and he still held the shiny black cane in his hand.

Not far behind, Amu stood respectfully, his eyes peeking at the rattan from time to time.

Amu thought he performed well today, and according to the usual practice, he had just been hit by a rattan cane during the day, and the wound hadn't healed yet, so he shouldn't be beaten again, but he didn't know why the master asked him to come here in the middle of the night.

Looking at the dark vines under the moonlight, Amu's back felt a little chilly, and the wound seemed to be aching.

The king said nothing, and Amu said nothing, and everything was silent for a while.

At this time, Wang Jue frowned slightly, turned his eyes away, and scanned the nine broken coffins in the courtyard, his eyes flickered slightly.

The shapes of the nine coffins were reflected one by one in Wang Jue's seemingly cloudy eyes.

"Nine coffins! Nine coffins?" Wang Jue murmured, and then he let out a long sigh.

Hearing Wang Jue's whisper, Amu couldn't help but glanced at the nine coffins.

Amu knew that Master's coffin-making technique was almost magical, and it was Amu's own coffin-making method. He dared to say that no one in the North Country could match it, let alone Master.

But Amu has always been puzzled, why there are nine remnant coffins in the backyard, and in Amu's memory, since he arrived here, these nine remnant coffins are parked here and have never been moved.

For more than ten years, the appearance of the nine coffins has not changed at all despite the wind and sun, rain and snow.On weekdays, Amu and Yu'er were not allowed to come to the backyard casually, and they could only enter if called by Wang Jue.And Wang Jue spends most of his daily time in this backyard, facing the nine remnant coffins and meditating quietly.

The nine remnants of the coffins are a mystery, and seem to affect all of Wang Jue's thoughts.

Once, Amu asked Wang Jue why he didn't restore the nine coffins. Wang Jue smiled bitterly and said that he couldn't do it himself, so he asked Amu not to ask.This really surprised Amu. There are still coffins in the world that Master can't repair?Since then, I have never asked about it again.

Amu knew this mystery, so Master would say it when he wanted to.

"Amu!" Wang Jue said suddenly, interrupting Amu's thoughts.

"The apprentice is here!" Amu hurriedly bowed.

Looking at Wang Jue's back, Amu suddenly felt that Master was different tonight, his back seemed not so bent, and his voice was no longer so old.

The backyard of the Wang family was still surrounded by the same nine coffins, but the feeling tonight was different. However, Amu was still a little worried when he looked at the rattan.

As if knowing Amu's heart, Wang Jue turned around and said calmly, "Master will not hit you today!"

"Uh!" Amu's face turned red, and at the same time, he felt that Master's eyes had swept away the turbidity of the past, and became as clear as water, bright as stars, and his face seemed not so old.

"It's been 12 years, Amu, I'm very satisfied with everything you've done!" Wang Jue stared at Amu with a smile on his face, and said slowly.

"Thank you, master, for your kindness in nurturing and teaching!" Wang Jue's tone was completely different from usual. For 12 years, Wang Jue had basically been stern and sarcastic to Amu. Knowing that Master loves him no less than Yu'er.

Looking at the cane in his hand, and then at Amu, Wang Jue sighed, and said slowly: "Ten years of physical training, you know what it's like, and understand the master's good intentions, it's really rare! Amu, ask me for your teacher!" You, would you like to cultivate immortality?"

"Cultivation?" Amu was slightly taken aback.It's not that Amu has never heard of Xiuxian, but Wang Jue's question was too sudden.

Swallowing clouds and blowing fog, driving a sword and riding a rainbow, traveling in the void, immortality and immortality, who would not want to?

"Amu is willing!" Amu replied.

"The road to cultivating immortality is long, and it may be a hundred years or a thousand years of hard work. In the end, it will be nothingness. Can you fulfill your wish? And if you come to my door, you will probably take over the eternal responsibility of the master in the future. You will die a lifetime, and you will have countless ties. Can you fulfill your wish?" Wang Jue looked at Amu with his usual cold eyes.

"Amu is willing!" Amu did not hesitate at all.

"Oh?" Amu answered so simply, which was beyond Wang Jue's expectation. "Why do you still wish?"

"If there is an end to life, you can't escape the word nothingness. Why should you worry about it? For the rest of your life, Amu voluntarily roams the world, wandering in the void, and this life is not in vain! If the master wishes, Amu will do it! 12 years Upbringing and teaching, Amu regards his master as his father, not to mention nine deaths and one life, even if there is no redemption, why not?"

Reincarnation and rebirth, Amu's thinking is naturally different from that of ordinary people. Since he is reborn for the first time, Amu should not waste his time.

The master trained him for ten years, painstakingly cultivated him, and the master-student love is deep.Master can be made into a fairy coffin, and the King of Zhennan in Beiguo should condescend to ask for it. He must be a hidden fairy, and based on Amu's understanding of Master, Master Wang Jue is an indomitable man. There must be a reason why he lives in this small willow.

How can I not dare to take on the important responsibility of the ages, which my master has taken on?
Wang Jue's question aroused Amu's nature, so his answer was extremely sincere and majestic.

Hearing Amu's answer like this, Wang Jue was stunned for a moment.

"Hahaha!" Wang Jue stared at Amu for a long time and suddenly laughed wildly up to the sky, but there was sorrow and joy, comfort, helplessness, and ancient vicissitudes in the laughter.

"Good boy, you can see it so clearly. My king must be like this, and reincarnation is not in vain! The sky will not fail me! The sky will not fail me! The sea will not fail me!

Wang Jue, who was always bitter and cold, showed a bit of madness, and there were tears in his eyes.

Amu couldn't help thinking to himself: "This madness is probably the master's true temperament! The sky will not fail me! The sea will not fail me! What is the master's secret? What is the sea?"

It took a while for Wang Jue to calm down, and said, "Amu, I am very pleased that you have made me a teacher!"

Then Wang Jue stroked the black rattan in his hand, and with a shake of his hand, the black rattan turned into a black light and fell directly into Amu's hand.

"This cane has been with me for countless years. Today, this cane is given to you by my teacher, and you will never have to suffer from whipping again." Wang Juedao.

It has been ten years since he was beaten at the age of five. This is the first time Amu has held the cane in his hand.After ten years of coercion, Amu was a little dazzled looking at the rattan.

Originally, I always thought that the black rattan was murderous and must be as cold as ice, but I didn't expect that the rattan was as warm as jade in my hand, which warmed my heart.Moreover, it is neither wood nor iron, nor gold nor jade, as black as ink, but Amu can't tell what kind of material it is, but it is by no means real rattan, it just looks like it.

"Master!" Amu held the rattan in both hands and said, feeling suddenly very uncomfortable, knelt down and said, "Ten years of body training, Amu is so sweet! Amu would like to suffer for another ten years."

"Haha!" Wang Jue felt even more relieved after hearing Amu's words, he couldn't help laughing loudly, and then looked around the broken nine coffins, but his eyes were a little more lonely.

"Ten years of body training, your fairy bones are already formed, everything is enough! Master has something more important to give you."
