Chapter 39 The Line Between Life and Death
Before Taoist Songhe could respond, the encirclement had already formed. There were three bees on the left and back. Although there was only one bee in front, it was the queen bee with the biggest head. There was no way to escape.
Even though Taoist Songhe had experienced many hardships, his face changed. It didn't matter if he died, but his apprentice was also here. If both of them were besieged, the Xiping Temple would be completely cut off. No, he must not let his apprentice die here.
Taoist Songhe made a decision quickly. He gritted his teeth, then paused, and his body instantly rose more than ten feet high. At the same time, he pushed his hands forward fiercely, and Qingyang's body was thrown out. He flew five or six feet away before falling to the ground.
Qingyang was immediately knocked unconscious, and his body was scratched in many places. This time he fell much harder than the last time in the big pit, and he was completely unprepared.
But at this time, Qingyang had no time to check his injuries. He quickly turned his head to look at the Taoist Songhe in the encirclement, because he knew why his master did this. This was his master's last-ditch effort, just to get himself out of trouble.
Maybe he used too much force. After throwing Qingyang out, Taoist Songhe stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Seeing that Qingyang did not run away immediately after landing, he was angry and said, "Little bastard, what are you still doing? Where is your usual cleverness? Run."
The more Taoist Songhe scolded, the more Qingyang couldn't move his feet. The two of them had depended on each other for nearly ten years, and they were as close as father and son. Now he was asked to leave his master and go alone. He couldn't do it, because he knew very well that this time he turned around, it might be a separation of life and death.
But he knew even more that if he stayed here, he would not be able to help at all. Mortals would only distract his master and prevent him from fully dealing with those bees. In desperation, he had to wipe away his tears, grit his teeth and turn around to run away.
For his own wish, the master can kneel down to others; for his own safety, the master dares to bargain with the immortal masters; now in order to let his apprentice escape, the master is staying in the encirclement alone. Thinking of these, his tears can't stop flowing down.
He hates himself, hates that he can't help his master at all when he is in trouble, but can only turn around and run away; he hates the Tiger Gang, hates that the Tiger Gang shouldn't involve his master in this matter; he hates those immortal masters even more, hates that those immortal masters don't care about the lives of ordinary people like them for their own selfish interests.
Nearly ten years of dependence on each other, nearly ten years of upbringing, nearly ten years of careful teaching, the master has given everything for himself, and finally even sacrificed his life, but he hasn't had time to repay him, and he is about to be separated from the Yin and Yang. How can this not make Qingyang heartbroken?
Qingyang lowered his head and ran away, crying secretly, and secretly swore that now that his master was in trouble today, if he found an opportunity in the future, he would definitely get rid of these bees, destroy the harmful Tiger Gang, kill those immortal masters who got something for nothing, and bury his master.
While he was thinking, there was a buzzing sound behind him. Qingyang was shocked. The bees were chasing him, how could they be so fast? Could it be that his master had been killed by these bees?
At this time, the voice of Taoist Songhe came from behind Qingyang, saying: "My disciple, be careful, those bees are rushing towards you."
Taoist Songhe's voice was full of energy, so he should not be injured. Could it be that the bees did not embarrass him? Qingyang couldn't help but turn his head to look, and he was immediately shocked when he saw it. There were a lot of bees, all following him, but leaving Taoist Songhe aside. Taoist Songhe had no choice but to chase him from behind.
This is strange. It was Master who poked the beehive. The bees did not chase Master, but chased me instead. I did nothing. You chased the wrong person, you know?
The bees didn't care about that. They chased him as if they had recognized him. Qingyang's strength was far inferior to that of Taoist Songhe. In a blink of an eye, the bees surrounded him, and then the queen bee suddenly accelerated and led a group of bees straight to his waist.
Being stung by an ordinary bee will hurt for a day or two, and the wild bees can sting people to death, let alone the bees in this secret place? I'm afraid a person's life can be taken by any sting.
Seeing that his disciple was about to die, Taoist Songhe behind him had no time to save him. He was so anxious that his teeth were about to crack, and he cried out: "Qingyang disciple!"
"My life is over!" Qingyang couldn't help but close his eyes.
Qingyang closed his eyes, waiting for the pain and death to come, but after a long time, the buzzing sound in his ears disappeared, but nothing happened. Qingyang was puzzled and opened his eyes quickly, only to see that the bees had gone to nowhere, and Taoist Songhe had already arrived beside him.
Qingyang thought that it was his master who saved him, and said, "Master, it's a good thing that you arrived in time and killed the bees, otherwise I would have died."
Taoist Songhe said with doubt on his face, "It wasn't me, I didn't have time to save you at all, it was the bees that disappeared after flying to your side."
Disappeared by themselves? Qingyang looked around, there was no shadow of a bee, he looked down again, only the lid of the wine gourd around his waist was opened at some point, there was nothing else unusual. This is strange, there is no one around, who would save me at this critical moment? Could it be that I was born with the blessing of the gods and Buddhas?
"I saw it clearly at the time, the bees suddenly accelerated, flew to your waist and disappeared." Songhe said again.
Hearing what the master said, Qingyang seemed to remember what happened in that hall, and couldn't help but murmur to himself: "Maybe these bees were also sucked away by the wine gourd."
If you want to explain it this way, it makes sense. At that time, the master threw himself out with all his strength. When he fell to the ground, the lid of the wine gourd was also shaken open. It may be that the wine gourd has some attraction to the group of bees, so Only then would the bee swarm give up its master and pursue itself, and then be sucked into the wine gourd.
Taoist Songhe was puzzled when he heard this, and said, "What was sucked away by the wine gourd?"
"Master, this wine gourd may really be a treasure." Qingyang whispered.
Then Qingyang told Master Songhe what he had experienced in the hall. After hearing this, Master Songhe had no intention of caring about how the bees entered the wine gourd. Instead, he quickly looked around until After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he said: "Disciple, you have to remember that the world is dangerous. You must not let others know about this kind of thing, otherwise it will cause death for us."
Qingyang said: "I didn't say anything nonsense. I just told you this!"
