Chapter 8 Seeing the Master in a Dream
Su Yu was all alone and had nothing to prepare. He moved into the back mountain of the academy that very day, where his fellow students held a bonfire party for him.
The Fourth Princess, Li Yu, was destined to leave. She envied the tranquility of the back mountain of the academy, but unfortunately, this tranquility did not belong to her.
"Brother Su, I'm leaving now."
Li Yu was reluctant to leave, but she had no reason to stay. In the end, her relationship with Su Yu was just a chance encounter, and she was already very lucky to be taken to participate in the activities at the back of the academy.
The back mountain of the academy was a secluded place, but Li Yu was a princess of the Tang Dynasty who would be caught in the vortex of politics in the future. Therefore, the disciples on the back mountain did not invite Li Yu to climb the mountain again.
"Goodbye, Little Fish. I will remember that you led me to Professor Huang He and guided me into the path of cultivation."
"Little Fish, if you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, come find me at the back of the academy."
Li Yu forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Brother Su."
Li Yu left, and the short two days they spent together left Su Yu with a sense of emptiness, because no one could give her that feeling of freedom anymore.
Because Li Yu is a little adult, there are some things you can say freely to her, but there are some things you can't say to other people.
Mu You, noticing Su Yu's disappointment, couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother, are you very familiar with the Fourth Princess?"
Su Yu shook his head and said, "We met by chance."
Muyou said, "You two are truly destined to meet and build such a deep friendship."
"Yes, it's quite a coincidence." Su Yu said this, but in his heart he was thinking that before recognizing this fourth princess, the person he hated most in the world was Li Yu.
Su Yu never expected that he would meet Li Yu, who was eleven or twelve years old, which directly changed his inner thoughts. It was precisely because of this contradiction that he paid more attention to Li Yu.
It seems there's no conflict between disliking someone when you're older and being sensible and well-behaved when you're younger.
Su Yu only hoped that Li Yu wouldn't become the kind of person he hated.
"Junior brother, you said earlier that you were an orphan and had no family?"
Su Yu nodded. He was a transmigrator and had no relatives in this world, so he was indeed an orphan. He had no regrets. There was nothing in his previous world that he was attached to. He transmigrated to save a little girl, and he felt that even if he died, he would leave something beautiful in that world. He had no regrets.
As for her parents, they were both divorced and had started their own families, so Su Yu had no right to integrate into either of them.
Having dropped out of school at a young age, Su Yu struggled in society, working as a waiter, a salesperson, and a construction worker, enduring all sorts of hardships.
Seeing Su Yu lost in thought, Mu You assumed that Su Yu was thinking about something sad. Feeling sorry for her junior brother, she reached out and gently stroked Su Yu's back to comfort him.
"Junior brother, from now on, all the senior brothers on the back mountain of the academy will be your family, and so will I. We will always be there for you."
Su Yu chuckled and said, "Thank you. I'm very lucky to be my senior sister's junior brother."
At midnight, the stars dot the sky, a gentle breeze blows, and all is quiet.
Su Yu lay alone in the wooden house, feeling a sense of relaxation in both body and mind. He was a transmigrator, and in this world, he no longer had as many troubles as in his previous life. Although he didn't have a mobile phone to play with, he didn't have to worry about waking up late and being late for work.
"Seventh Senior Sister is a very interesting person."
"My second senior brother is the same. He is not as imposing as I imagined. He does not have the arrogance of a peak martial arts expert in front of me. Instead, he is like a friendly older brother next door."
"Mr. Wang Chi, the eleventh, is quite talkative and never stops talking. If you go to see him when you have nothing to do, you'll definitely have endless topics to discuss."
"Mr. Ximen Buhuo, the tenth gentleman, has a very pleasant melody."
Thinking of the teachers on the back mountain of the academy, Su Yu fell asleep.
In her dream, Su Yu saw a tall man moving at a speed invisible to the naked eye. The sky and earth darkened as if they were about to press down and crush the tall man into a meat patty.
God, I'm chasing someone.
Su Yu felt that this tall man was somewhat familiar; it seemed to be the Master.
The sky closed in on the human world, pressing down relentlessly, as if to obscure the entire world and devour all living beings.
The stars twinkled in the suffocating heat, each one burning, with countless primordial energies of heaven and earth scorching them wildly like countless miniature suns!
As the Master strolled through this environment, he used his infinity technique to move forward, and the sky behind him could never catch up with him.
He fled, and He pursued.
After a long while, the Master finally stopped and stood in front of Su Yu.
"Su Yu, did you see that?"
Su Yu said softly, "I saw it."
The Master said, "From the moment you came into this world, He has been chasing me, or rather, He has been searching for you. He just can't find you, so he keeps chasing me. He wants to find you through me!"
Su Yu said, "He's looking for me. Does He want me dead?"
The Master said, "Heaven will not allow any alien to exist in this world. You came from beyond the heavens carrying endless starlight! Naturally, He will keep an eye on you."
"If He finds you, you will die."
Su Yu murmured, "God, can't you accept me?"
The Master said, “Heaven is never magnanimous. Your arrival has only accelerated this process. Even without you, He would have gone mad sooner or later.”
Su Yu said, "It was because of me that Teacher was found by Him, right?"
The Master said, “I have already integrated myself into the human world, so it is indeed not easy for Him to find me, but it is just as not easy for me to find Him.”
"I should thank you for coming; it was you who allowed me to see Him."
"You made me realize that He wasn't so fair after all, that He is conscious, and that He can't actually control everything in the human world."
"Su Yu, I know you have already become my disciple."
"From this day forward, you are my disciple, and I will always be watching over you..."
"I……"
The Master turned his head and looked at the heavens. The endless light in the starry sky seemed to be burning the world to ashes.
"It seems there are some things He doesn't want me to say."
"However, that doesn't matter anymore."
"I trust you."
Su Yu cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Respectfully seeing off my teacher."
The Master smiled, waved his hand, and disappeared from the spot.
The light in the sky also left.
Su Yu saw a stone tablet with the words "Great Tang" written on it. It was a boundary marker on the border of the Great Tang Dynasty. However, the surrounding scenery was no longer the official road at the foot of Shuyuan Mountain, but a desolate place, the place where Su Yu and the Master first met.
It turns out that the Master's absence was not because he was truly traveling; he was protecting Su Yu from the spying of Haotian.
wake up.
Su Yu walked out of the room, and her seventh senior sister, Mu You, happened to come over with a food box.
"Junior brother, did you sleep well last night?"
Su Yu smiled and said, "Very good, exceptionally good."
