Bugui took out a mirror, which was something that had not been available in the valley before. You can imagine that I had lived with disheveled hair for these years. My face in the mirror seemed very pale, even whiter than that of Bugui. I glanced at Bugui again and saw that his face was pale. I quickly turned my eyes away.
I really have no idea about my appearance. My own evaluation is that I have one nose and two eyes, so I look ordinary. Bugui suddenly stared at me fiercely: "Yijun, your appearance... But you want to destroy it on your own, have you ever thought that you will regret it in the future?"
I have never seen him speak to me with such an expression. He was stunned for a moment and said: "Master, if this is the only way to leave the valley, then you can ruin my appearance. I must leave the valley to find him."
His expression changed several times, and his voice returned to its previous indifference: "Appearance is not enough, your voice should also stay."
I wondered: "How can the sound be left behind?"
Bugui's voice was cold: "Cut out your tongue, and your voice will remain."
That meant I couldn't speak, but that didn't change anything compared to my determination. "Well, please master, please cut out my tongue so that I can accompany you."
Bugui said angrily: "Do you know what you are talking about!"
I leaned down, bowed several times, looked up into the eyes that never returned, and said, "My disciple has made up his mind, and there will be no change. I ask Master to make it happen."
The ferocity in those eyes gradually faded away, and they were still the gentle eyes I first saw.
