Chapter 42: Yin Shan Yue
After the Red Army came in, he sat next to me with a small wooden stool, and he didn't dare to pant too loudly, and it was difficult for him to hold back the panting sound of a big fat man running up to the fourth floor.
My dad moved the coffee table to the side and took out a large boxy wood stove, made of wood on all sides, inlaid with a large iron pot, which had already burned some dry firewood that my parents had picked up, which was a more common heating tool in the south.
After setting up the big wood stove, my parents went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
"Zhengyi, these people ...... Are they all your relatives? The Reds whispered in my ear.
Everyone was in the living room, warming themselves around the big wood stove, eating snacks and watching black-and-white televisions, and no one spoke. I just nodded.
I can't remember what was playing on the TV, I remember that night, the time passed very long, compared to the previous dinner table talking and laughing, everyone was speechless at this time, the atmosphere was extremely weird and embarrassing.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a knock on the door, which immediately attracted the attention of all of us.
"Which one? It's almost the New Year, knocking on the door is like urging life! My dad scolded and walked out of the kitchen to open the door.
I was almost overwhelmed by the atmosphere of the living room, and as soon as I heard a knock on the door, I immediately got up and went to the door at the same time as my father.
The door opened, and there was a person standing outside, with bronzed facial skin, looking very delicate, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes. Wearing a felt hat and a cotton coat, he was also holding a child about four or five years old.
"Master Hong!"
Yes, the person who came was Master Hong. I have a good impression of this monk who speaks Hepu dialect and can still chat when he fights with Qiqi.
Hearing me call him, Hiroshi smiled at me, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
This reminds me of when he was fighting with Qiqi, because of my "handsome", the monk turned his head and smiled at me, and it was the same, showing a mouthful of white teeth.
The macro in my memory overlapped with the macro in front of me, and I found that Master macro seemed to be a lot more depressed than before, at least what I felt was that his mental feeling was a little more languishing than before.
"Huhβwhat's the matter? Why don't you let us in? He tore off the felt hat from his head and pushed the child he was holding towards my house.
My dad didn't know who this person was at all, and Hong's Hepu words made my dad stunned for a while, still wondering what this bald head was talking about?
I quickly invited Honghong in.
"Everyone's there?" Liu Hong took the child's hand to the living room, greeted everyone with a smile, and actually used Mandarin with a straight face!
After waiting for Hong to finish greeting, the crazy old man stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Everyone is here, Zhengyi, turn off the TV." β
"Eh" I answered, turned off the TV, and then the crazy old man turned his head to the kitchen and shouted, "Lao Zhang, you and Gui Fang go down for a walk." β
Although my parents looked surprised, they also guessed that what the crazy old man was going to say next was something they couldn't touch, so they quickly agreed and prepared to go out.
At this time, the crazy old man pointed to the boy brought by Jiang Shibo and continued: "Gui Fang, you can take this child down as well." β
Just when the crazy old man was talking to my parents, Uncle Jiang also lowered his head tacitly, and said something in the boy's ear, which I vaguely heard roughly meant, let him rest assured to go with my parents or something.
After Uncle Jiang finished speaking, I could see that the boy still had defensiveness and reluctance on his face, but he also slowly moved in the direction of my parents.
Brother Zhengren pulled Uncle Jiang's clothes at this time and said, "Master, I'll go too, anyway, I know what happened next." β
Jiang Shibo looked at the crazy old man hesitantly, and the crazy old man nodded slightly, which was considered to be agreed.
So Brother Zhengren stepped forward quickly, took the boy's hand, and went downstairs with my parents.
In fact, when I was having dinner, I found out that the boy was very wary of everyone, but not Brother Zhengren.
Whoever served him food at the dinner table, he looked frightened, only Brother Zhengren put the food into his bowl, he would raise his head to look at Brother Zhengren, his eyes were full of trust and kindness.
It's like now, as soon as he heard Brother Zhengren say that he would go out with him, he immediately threw a grateful look at Brother Zhengren.
The crazy old man was a little more mobile before, and he was nervous to get up from the sofa, not to mention that now that Brother Zhengren was holding his hand, he looked like he had found a sense of security.
But anyway, my parents, Brother Zhengren, and the boy went downstairs, and only the people of our lineage and Hiroshi were left in the living room, and the child he brought.
"Say it." The crazy old man sat down again and motioned for Uncle Jiang to start talking.
Uncle Jiang sat still and said, "If it is not necessary, I really don't want to recall this matter!" β
There was endless sadness in Jiang Shibo's voice, and even the original bookish majesty disappeared, and it was replaced with a sad face.
"Let me tell you a little bit. Some time ago, our department received a task and went to Yinshan. The reason is that there are a lot of things that should not appear in Yinshan. You juniors don't need to know what it is. β
Jiang Shibo pushed his glasses and continued: "In addition to the fact that Senior Brother has other things to do and did not go, our lineage, Master Hong's master and apprentice, and some other Taoist people have gone. Among your juniors, Masahito and I have been the longest time, and this time he also followed me on a mission, but I didn't expect that this mission almost made us unable to come back. β
Hearing this, the people of our generation gasped at the same time as they understood each other.
What is the concept of near-annihilation? Our respective masters, in our eyes, not to mention god-like beings, are at least the most powerful people in our minds.
And I have seen the strength of Master Hong, that is the person who can fight with the ancient fierce beast Qiqi, although it is only the remnant soul of Qiqi, but it is a combination of Qiqi and the Ten Directions Hundred Ghost Array!
I don't know the strength of the older generation of people in our lineage, but if I think about it, it won't be very bad, not to mention that there are other Taoist priests who are also involved in this mission, and with such a lineup, it is almost wiped out?
So how powerful are the things that Jiang Shibo and they are facing? With my knowledge at the time and my understanding of the spell, I couldn't have imagined it at all.
I can think of this, my brothers and sisters are not necessarily unexpected, I keenly found that people of our generation are all frowning, their faces are anxious, and Zhengqing can't hold it back, so he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to ask Uncle Pan if he was injured or something.
When Master Zhou saw this, he said with a smile: "Don't look like this one by one, the strength of our older generation is not as weak as you imagined." β
After speaking, he nodded at Uncle Jiang and motioned for him to continue.
"Although this trip was extremely dangerous, fortunately, with the help of the Taoist people who practiced in Yinshan, we were able to survive. But ......"
When Jiang Shibo said this, his eyes turned red, he took off his glasses and wiped the tears that were about to remain. And the rest of the uncles and uncles also had tears in their eyes. Master Lihong recited a rare Buddha name: "Amitabha." β
There is a compassionate emotion in the Buddha's name, and I actually heard a little helplessness!
And the child next to Honghong cried out with a "wow". Only then did I remember that in the list of participants in the mission that Jiang Shibo said just now, this kid also followed.
At such a young age, I followed Master Hong on a mission, and it was such a dangerous mission, I not only began to admire this child a little.
Uncle Jiang and the others were still restraining their emotions, and the crazy old man took over and said, "The child you mentioned on the phone is the orphan of the Yin family?" β
Jiang Shibo nodded heavily, then looked at the people of our generation and said: "Our older generation is not young, and life and death have long been seen through, but what we can't let go of is our apprentice." Originally, I shouldn't have told you about this incident, but the Yin family is kind to us, and I also hope that after a hundred years of our older generation, you can continue to repay the favor! β
I always felt that there was something wrong with what Jiang Shibo said, but with my ability at the time, I couldn't think of anything wrong at all, I just relied on my intuition and felt that it had become twisted.
Jiang Shibo paused and said: "I believe you all know that the child who went down with Zhengren just now is the orphan of the Yin family-Yin Shanyue. This boy witnessed the death of his parents, and the blow was so great that he became wary of strangers, and although he is a little older than you, I hope that you will treat him as your fellow disciple in the future, and treat him well! β
Hearing this, Zhengwei, Zhengchun, and Zhengqing and I all nodded heavily, even Master Hong's apprentices!
At the same time, we all have tears in our eyes. Watching his parents die is more than just a blow to someone who is not much older than us.
I felt the sadness spread again, as if this time it was even more unbearable.
The crazy old man lowered his head at this time and said: "Let him become Zhengyi's real fellow disciple, let him enter my mountain lineage, and it can be regarded as an explanation to his parents." β
I looked at the crazy old man in amazement, and the shock in my heart gradually overshadowed the sadness.
What surprised me was not that the crazy old man wanted to accept Yin Shanyue as an apprentice, but that since I met the crazy old man, he has always been a raunchy, seemingly extremely unreliable and crazy person. This time the voice sounded trembling.
Uncle Jiang and the others didn't speak, and the crazy old man raised his head and continued: "It's so decided. His family was originally also a person of the mountain lineage. β
The words of the crazy old man have already finalized the fact that Yin Shanyue is about to become the heir of my mountain lineage.
And the moment the mad old man looked up, I saw that the mad old man's eyes had been boiled red by tears......
