Chapter 39 Bamboo Horse Bamboo Horse
Lin Qi slightly paused the hand holding the door frame.
This scene seems to have appeared in memory many times, but I can't remember it after thinking about it carefully.
He suppressed his urge to be upset on behalf of his junior, stood stiffly on the spot, trying to restrain his breath, and quietly listened to the movement inside the door.
……
Lin Ziqing knelt on the ground straight, motionless, and said firmly, "But it's up to Master."
"Hmph," Lin Jinglan flicked his sleeves, walked behind Lin Ziqing, and said in a cold tone, "Heal your wounds, and recognize your identity. I'll let you go this time, and next time, I'll punish you severely."
"Thank you Master."
Lin Ziqing's tone was still calm, as if he was used to being treated like this.He stood up majestically and calmly, made a salute, and slowly exited the hall.
Lin Qi hid behind the door, not daring to run into her junior brother, and stepped out when he was far away.
As soon as he raised his head, he happened to bump into the master walking out of the palace gate.
When Lin Jinglan saw him, she didn't show any surprise. Instead, she smiled and asked softly, "Do you want to know why?"
"What...?" Lin Qi's heart skipped a beat.
Master knew that he had secretly listened to the conversation between the two, but he was not angry, so... he let himself hear all this on purpose?
"Don't panic," Lin Jinglan gently stroked the top of Lin Qi's head, "You are different from Lin Ziqing, as long as you are obedient, you will always be a good student as a teacher."
Lin Qi nodded tremblingly, her head hurting more and more, "Yes, Master."
"You are different from him, don't be afraid, Master will always protect you. That's fine, go back."
Lin Jinglan turned her hands back again, her expression remained unchanged from the beginning to the end, and she walked away leisurely and contentedly.
Lin Qi stood there in a daze for a long time before walking towards the side hall behind the mountain step by step.
Master is beating himself on purpose, warning himself to be obedient and not to have other thoughts.
The more he thought about it, the more confused his thoughts became, and messy images kept flashing in his mind, and he couldn't figure it out.
There is very little information from the original work, and Lin Jinglan seems to be just a cold master who favors his big apprentice.
Looking at it now, how much selfishness is hidden behind this preference, and for what benefit.
……
His head hurt more and more, as if a fork was stirring in his brain, and he relied on instinct to support himself back to the bedroom.
Pushing the door open, Lin Qi seemed to see the worried expression of his younger brother, but he was completely unable to react normally.
Countless memories are entangled together, as if... the instinctive memory from this body wants to break through the ground, but is forced to be suppressed under the seemingly calm water.
"...Brother, what's wrong with you..."
First, the voice gradually faded away, and his vision also faltered. Lin Ziqing's anxious expression became blurred, and he could only see the mouth opening and closing, speaking words he could not understand.
Lin Qi's last memory is that he said weakly: "...it's okay..."
……
The vortex-like fragments swallowed him, and memories flashed one after another, as if he had experienced it himself, and finally it was frozen at the time when he first realized that something was wrong with his master.
At that time, he was still very diligent in his practice, practicing swords and having fun with his younger brother, and he had endless enthusiasm for all unknown things.
Until one time, he didn't quite understand a formula, so he happily ran to ask the master when he was leaving the customs.
He was only 12 years old at that time, ignorant and ignorant. As soon as the master came out of the customs, he leaned forward, held up a book of exercises on tiptoe, and just said: "Master, I don't understand this sentence..."
When I looked up, I found that the master's kind face in the past was extremely gloomy, and there was a strong death breath lingering between his brows.
At that time, Lin Qi blurted out a scream, but Lin Jinglan strangled her neck with one hand, and a hoarse voice rang in her ears: "My dear student, don't be afraid, Master is still pointing at you to ascend."
The exercise in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
Lin Qi was shaking all over, thinking that she saw something she shouldn't know and was about to be strangled to death.
He tilted his head in pain, his neck bone cracked due to the force, but he didn't expect it to be loosened suddenly.
The young Lin Qi immediately shrank and hid aside, her thin body shrunk into a ball, she was so frightened that she couldn't make any sound at all, and tears filled her eyes.
He looked up at Lin Jinglan walking towards him, struggling to keep shrinking back, and then was caught uncontrollably, a rough voice sounded above his head:
"What are you afraid of..."
Lin Jinglan smiled strangely, and put her hand over Lin Qi's head, "When you wake up again, you will forget all of this, and Master will not blame you."
……
The memory of that day vanished without leaving any traces, time is like flowing water, still flowing forward quietly.
Only certain details changed silently.
For example, Lin Qi suddenly found that her cultivation was getting slower and slower, and she even became restless when meditating.
For example, he seemed to be not as close to Master as before.
For another example, the mountain gave him an illusion of danger, and the attraction of the mountain became stronger and stronger.
……
"Going down the mountain to play? There is a market today, but it's very lively. While Master isn't paying attention, let's go and go back quickly."
Xie Qingyin's expression was high, with a neat ponytail, she was taller than the two of them.
Lin Qi and Lin Ziqing were still two little radish heads at this time. They spent all day practicing kung fu on the mountain, and they had long been curious about the world below the mountain.
Xie Qingyin was only an adult at this time, and as soon as she got the access token, she couldn't wait to bring her two little followers, planning to go down the mountain to learn more.
"Senior Sister, are there many people in the market? Will there be heroes?" Lin Qi asked with longing.
Xie Qingyin smiled and waggled her fingers, "You'll know when you get there, every child wants to be a hero every day, how tiring it is to be a hero."
"I'm not afraid of being tired!" Lin Qi and Lin Ziqing said in unison, looking at Xie Qingyin with their necks straight.
As soon as the words fell, the two of them looked at each other, and there was an internal quarrel:
"Don't learn from me!"
"Why did you learn from me?"
"Obviously I said it first!"
Until the three of them walked to the market, the two of them were still arguing with each other, and it stopped when one of them stuffed a candied haws and completely occupied their mouths, neither of them would look at each other awkwardly.
