Chapter 9 The ancestral hall of the priest meets the ancestry

The moonlight is thousands of wisps, hiding a trace of melancholy thoughts, as if reflecting Liu Yue'er's stunned mood at this time!

Liu Yue'er watched Yao Tianxi leave, standing silently in place, with some inexplicable melancholy in her heart, and couldn't help but look in the direction where Yao Tianxi left several times, and then turned around to find Li Xixi and the others.

Li Xixi watched Liu Yue'er grow up, how could she not know what friends she had, so she knew very well that Liu Yue'er was just looking for an excuse because she was kind-hearted and didn't want to hurt the young man's life.

At this moment, when she saw Liu Yue'er coming back alone, she knew that she had let the young scholar go, and approached Liu Yue'er and whispered, "Miss, let it go?" ”

Liu Yue'er nodded and said, "Well, it's just an honest scholar, I just happened to be here, so I don't need to take his life." ”

"I know that Miss is merciful, but for the sake of safety, let's give up this stronghold, so as not to cause any accidents." Li Xixi proposed.

Liu Yue'er saw that Li Xixi didn't mean to be harsh on herself, so she couldn't help it, and said apologetically: "I also know that doing this may affect our big things, but I really can't bear to hurt the innocent, I'm sorry, Uncle Li." ”

Li Xixi said disapprovingly: "Whatever Miss said, my life was given by Brother Liu, I don't care about any big or small things about his mother, I only listen to Miss's orders and use my life to protect Miss's safety." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Lee." Compared with other backbone members of the sect who think about big things, Liu Yueer obviously prefers a sensual and honest person like Li Xixi.

Liu Yue'er sorted out her mood and raised her voice to the others: "From tomorrow, we will act separately in other four secret locations, and the initiation ceremonies and other important matters in the four places will be staggered, and I will preside over them in batches, so that it is not easy to attract the attention of outsiders if they are dispersed." ”

Everyone agreed, and then Liu Yue'er properly arranged some big and small matters, and the group dispersed from the bamboo forest in all directions.

Li Xixi knew that Liu Yue'er was naturally kind, and this move was that she would rather take risks and walk around by herself, and try her best to avoid the leakage of other people's whereabouts, presumably it was useless to persuade herself, what she could do was to protect the young lady well.

Yao Tianxi returned to the thatched cottage and lay down, but he didn't feel sleepy, if it weren't for the soreness in his left leg that pulled him back to reality, he still felt that what happened just now seemed to be in a dream, the strange worship ceremony, the burly man who shot quickly, and the moving autumn water eyes......

I wanted to calm down again and again, but Liu Yueer's intoxicating laughter always sounded in my ears, tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that he fell asleep, and he opened his eyes in a daze when it was close to noon.

Yang Ji and Gao Qi had been awake for a long time, Yang Ji looked at his listless appearance, and comforted: "I know that you work hard, but you have to be relaxed." ”

Yao Tianxi smiled bitterly in his heart, Brother Meng Zai must have thought that I read it by candle last night, but I don't know...... The red shadow came to mind again.

Yao Tianxi shook his head vigorously, tried to make himself sober, and looked at Yang Ji, "Brother Xie Mengzai cares, and the younger brother is fine." ”

Gao Qi saw Yao Tianxi wake up, and hurriedly picked up the book to discuss.

Yang Ji shook his head helplessly, he had nothing to do with these two guys who could read to death, rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you eat something first!" ”

The white horse passed by, and the time of two months seemed to be a flick of a finger, whether it was far away from the chaotic reading environment, or studying hard day and night, the knowledge and mood of the three of them improved by leaps and bounds. Especially Yao Tianxi, who was originally a little inferior in middle school among the three, with the help of Gao Qi and Yang Ji, not only poetry and painting have been introduced, but calligraphy is also a rapid progress.

On this day, the three of them were discussing the interpretation of a poem, and a subordinate hurriedly came, "Childe, there is an urgent letter from Master Gao." ”

Yang Ji took the letter, and immediately frowned, looked at Yao Tianxi and said in a deep voice: "Tianxi, something happened." ”

Yao Tianxi put down the scroll in his hand when he heard the sound, turned his head and saw Yang Ji's face, his heart sank, and he reached out to take the letter and took it, tears welled up......

The content of the letter was only one sentence - Meng Caiweng died suddenly.

After these days of getting along day and night, the three of them have already become confidants and friends, and they have nothing to talk about, so Yang Ji and Gao Qi know how important Meng Caiweng's position in Yao Tianxi's heart is.

The two looked at Yao Tianxi, who was in tears, even though he was brilliant, he didn't know how to comfort him.

In just one year, Yao Tianxi lost his close relatives and mentors one after another, and no one could bear it, let alone a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child.

Yao Tianxi closed his eyes tightly, let tears continue to run down his cheeks, remembered the many teachings of his teacher before parting, and secretly scolded himself for being careless...... Presumably, Mr. knew that his time was running out at that time, but in order to make himself successful in his studies, he risked his own life and deliberately arranged for himself to meet and intersect with two genius teenagers, which is really well-intentioned!

Yao Tianxi stopped his tears, raised his sleeve to wipe the tears on his face, and said to the two: "Brother Meng Zai, Ji Di, my teacher passed away suddenly, I have to go back." Thank you for taking good care of you these days, and I can't thank you enough. ”

Gao Qi looked at Yao Tianxi's dejected appearance and said with concern: "You have to take care of yourself, if there is anything you can't solve alone after you go back, you must tell me, and I will spare no effort to help." ”

"Yes, we know that you are very strong, but you are alone, it is inevitable that you will not be able to do it, don't forget that you and our two friends." After all, Yang Ji is a little older, and he regards Yao Tianxi as a younger brother in his heart, and he is very distressed to see Yao Tianxi's lonely and miserable appearance at this time, but there is nothing he can do.

Yao Tianxi tried his best to pick up a smile and said, "Don't worry." Brother Meng Zai, Ji Di, the incident happened suddenly, and Tianxi said goodbye. ”

"Wait." Yang Ji quickly packed up a few books that Yao Tianxi liked and hadn't finished reading yet, and handed them to Yao Tianxi, "Take it, study it slowly, and after reading the letter to me, I'll find the books you need for you." ”

Yao Tianxi took the book with both hands, looked at the two best friends, and couldn't help but shed tears, turned around lightly and kept wiping, Gao Qi couldn't help but shed tears when he saw this.

Yang Ji and Gao Qi sent Yao Tianxi out of the bamboo forest all the way, and then said goodbye.

Yao Tianxi walked away with his bags on his back, and the rustling sound of the bamboo leaves from the wind wrapped around his lonely figure, looking extremely lonely and lonely.

When he came, it was the master who brought his beloved disciples who had not yet seen the world, and he was just starting out.

When leaving, it was the disciples who had achieved a little success who rushed to see the coffin of the teacher, and the heavens and men said goodbye forever.

Yao Tianxi was anxious to send his teacher on his last journey, and walked forward quickly, day and night.

When Yao Tianxi rushed all the way back to Xiangcheng, he went straight to Meng's house without returning home, only to see that the door of Meng's house was closed, Yao Tianxi knocked on the door for a long time, and then someone answered the door.

The person who opened the door was Meng Xi, the son of Meng Caiweng, Yao Tianxi heard his teacher mention some family matters, Meng Xi had a son, but unfortunately he died, so he had no children at this time, and probably because of the death of his grandson, Meng Caiweng was very fond of the astute Tianxi.

Meng Xi's expression was extremely sad at the moment, but he was in his thirties but looked like an old dragon clock, and his coarse cloth clothes looked like he hadn't changed for a few days, and when he saw that it was Yao Tianxi, he said, "It's Tianxi, come in." ”

Yao Tianxi followed closely behind Meng Xi, Meng Xi seemed to tell Yao Tianxi and seemed to say to himself: "In my father's life, he gave up the opportunity to be a member of the public for the sake of fame, and went to Wuzhong to teach, I wanted to cultivate a few more disciples who were talented and hard-working, but unfortunately because of the poverty of the family, or because of the greed for play, no one was looked down upon by his father, and even his own son was recognized by him as a person with a weak heart. It wasn't until his father was old that he met a father and son who came to see him with six rites. Speaking of this, Meng Xi turned his head and looked at Yao Tianxi. On the day I accepted you as a student, my father was very happy, so he talked a lot to me. My father knew that your family was not good and you had a strong nature, so it was inevitable that he would gradually develop some inferiority complex, so he made a plan early to guide you step by step, and finally did not hesitate to drag his elderly body to take you to make friends with the deceased...... The old man of the Yang family, when he was an official in Jiangzuo, he looked for his father many times, but his father was closed, but in order to let you make friends with his erudite and well-known grandson, he actually came to visit ...... in person."

Yao Tianxi, who was following Meng Xi, had already cried into tears.

Meng Xi led Yao Tianxi to the ancestral hall and sighed, "I won't accompany you." With that, he turned and left.

Yao Tianxi saw the tablet of his mentor and recalled his husband's earnest teachings to him before his death, his heart was really like a knife, he couldn't bear the pain, and he knelt on the ground and cried!

"Amitabha, why is the little benefactor so sad?" Yao Tianxi heard someone behind him talking to him in a trance, Mu Ran turned around, it turned out to be an old monk from Miaozhi'an, who had seen several times when he went to pray for his relatives in the past.

Yao Tianxi got up and returned the salute, puzzled: "Master, why are you here?" ”

The old monk replied: "I have known Master Meng Shi for many years, and I am also a good friend, and when I heard that he died of a sudden illness, I came to spend time for him. I've been observing you here for a long time, so you must be his beloved disciple Yao Tianxi. ”

"Mr. Meng is Tianxi's mentor, I rushed back immediately after receiving the news of the death of my teacher, but I still didn't have time to say goodbye to Mr. for the last time......" Yao Tianxi couldn't finish crying again.

"Little donor, although you and I only have a few faces, I know a lot about you, all from the conversation with your master, every time I mention you, I am full of praise and pride, as if you are a successor, I guess he does not want to see you so sad." The old monk said with a smile.

Yao Tianxi arched his hand and said, "Haven't asked the master for advice?" ”

"Amitabha, the poor monk's Dharma lineage. Meng Shizhu has done many good deeds in his life, giving up the opportunity to teach and educate people here is not a merit, and in his later years, he has a loving apprentice, and he has no regrets in life. Zong Chuan comforted.

"Thank you for your advice." Yao Tianxi said gratefully.

"If you have any confusion in the future, you can come to Myochian to find me." Zong Chuan clasped his palms together, sat down on the side, and chanted for Meng Caiweng.

Yao Tianxi kowtowed three times towards the spiritual position of his mentor, and the grace of Mr. Tianxi can only be repaid in the next life.
