854 Trip to the Division
In the afternoon, Su Musha and the others arrived at their destination. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info from the sky, the topography and topography of this place are actually similar to X City, surrounded by many mountains of different heights.
"It's on that hill where my master and I used to live." Ye Xuanling pointed to the highest mountain in the meantime, his eyes showing nostalgia.
"Let's go, let's go and see." Su Musha said, stretched out his hand and patted the back of the Dapeng bird, and the Dapeng bird understood, spread its wings and flew towards that place.
The height of the mountain that Ye Xuanling said was very impressive, and the peak even went straight into the clouds. And Ye Xuanling's division is in a wooden house in the middle of the mountain.
The Dapeng Bird flew to a flat ground and slowly descended, and Su Musha and Ye Xuanling jumped off the back of the Dapeng Bird. Ye Xuanling led Su Musha to the gate and said in a low voice, "This is it." ”
This wooden door is very tall, after the wind and frost of the years, it looks very old, there is no plaque on the door, and there is no inscription. Su Musha stood in front of the door, his brows moved, "There is a ban here?" ”
And it's a very strong prohibition.
Ye Xuanling nodded, "This is what my master set before, as long as the materials to maintain the prohibition are placed everywhere regularly, with this prohibition, there is no need to lock the door, and you can only use some special means to enter." Senior brother, come in with me. ”
Su Musha nodded, secretly saying in his heart that Ye Xuanling's master was really not an ordinary person. He watched Ye Xuanling slap the door three times, and the prohibition disappeared automatically. Immediately afterwards, Ye Xuanling opened the door and walked in with Su Musha.
The scenery inside the door was not the same as Su Musha's imagination, he originally thought that the interior of the wooden house should be the same as the old mansion of the Feng family (Feng Xuanjing family), simple and atmospheric, covering a huge area. However, in fact, it is not, the area occupied by the wooden house is indeed not small, but there are not many houses inside, and the large area is this yard, which has a lot of wooden stakes and other practice tools, and there are a few stout trees planted in a few corners. The size of the room is only a little bit, and the appearance is also the most ordinary bungalow.
"This is where I live with Master, I have lived and practiced here since I was a child," Ye Xuanling pointed to the few rooms in front of him and introduced to Su Musha, "The outermost one is a guest room, but we rarely have guests here." Next to the transept is the kitchen. The three rooms in the back are bedrooms, one for Master, one for me, and one for Uncle Master, but Uncle has never lived there......"
Su Musha also fed and moved.
"Senior brother, I'll take you to have a look." Ye Xuanling smiled and said to Su Mu.
Su Musha's eyes trembled, "Okay." ”
Ye Xuanling took Su Mu to bypass the two rooms in front of him, and took Su Mu to cover the three bedrooms in the back. Uncle Ye Xuanling's bedroom is on the left, sitting north and facing south, it is the best room, and it is also the most exquisite one among the three bedrooms, and even the back of the door is carved with delicate and exquisite patterns, and it is also carefully painted with red paint, which is very properly arranged.
Ye Xuanling only stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, allowing Su Musha to see the furnishings in the room.
There was not much furniture in the house, only a table, a chair, a wardrobe, and a bed, with a futon on the bed, and a neatly folded quilt resting at the head of the bed. If you don't know about it, you might really think that the people who live here are just going out for a while and will be back in a while.
This time, without Ye Xuanling's introduction, Su Musha took the initiative to step forward and gently stroked the table and stool - even though he had never lived in it, and Ye Xuanling had been away for so long, the table and chair were still clean and clean, and not a single dust had fallen.
Directly in front of the table is a wooden window, through which the afternoon sun slanted through, illuminating the whole bedroom with extra warmth.
He even thought in his mind that if his father had really lived here, he would sit at this table from time to time, holding a book in his hand, and read slowly through the bright sunlight.
"Before I was picked up by the master, this room existed, although the master didn't say much, in fact, he has been missing my uncle very much, so many years, he has never stopped looking for my uncle, and even in the last half a year, when I was too sick to get out of bed, he still told me to let me go and find my uncle. It's just that now it seems that it can't. ”
There is a difference of more than 30 years between Master and Uncle Shi, and although Master and Uncle are nominally brothers, Master has always regarded Uncle Shi as his own child. Therefore, for the disappearance of Uncle Shi. Master has been quite sad.
Ye Xuanling didn't say anything more, and it was not appropriate to say more at this time. He watched Su Musha facing the window in a daze, his eyes seemed to have thousands of thoughts passing through him, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then quietly exited the room and handed over the space here to Su Musha.
At this time, Su Musha remembered the dream he had before. The blurred face of the father in the dream finally slowly became clear - Ye Xuanling said that he looked very similar to him, and his facial features were almost carved out of a mold and. At that time, he should have only been over thirty years old, his temperament was mature, I don't know if he had a beard, with the degree to which he cared about "himself", his father should not be a strict father, he should love himself very much, and he should love his mother very much.
And what about mothers? What does a mother look like? Is she very beautiful, her personality is very gentle, will she sing a soft lullaby when she sleeps......
All kinds of conjectures kept turning in Su Musha's mind. A drop of water fell from a great height and smashed on the table, splitting in an instant. Su Musha stretched out his hand and touched it, his face was moist, and he was unconsciously ...... Crying?
He looked at the water trail on his fingers, and felt very strange about the emotions rising in his heart at this time. He seems to be crying for the first time?
Is this kind of emotion just longing?
Seeing this scene in Su Musha's spiritual world, Han Qi felt very sad. He turned his head to look and found that Su Ying, this guy, was sitting there with his eyes closed and recuperating, without any expression on his face.
"Hey, aren't you really going to tell him about Xiao Su's parents?" Han asked.
Su Ying shook her head, "I made a promise with his parents that I wouldn't say a word to him." An oath is an oath, and I will not break it no matter what. ”
"Is the uncle surnamed Ye really Xiao Su's father? Why did he become separated from his brother? ”
"I don't know," Su Ying opened her eyes, "When I was invited out, Xiao Sudi's parents were already married and had Xiao Su. It's just that at that time, Xiao Su was already dead, and his parents exchanged their lives for Xiao Su's life. At that time, there should have been a turmoil, and the tragedy that was caused by this turmoil should have been specially designed by someone. ”
When she said this, Su Ying couldn't help but sneer, "Human beings are so despicable and shameless, they don't hurt me enough, but also harm my descendants of the Su family." ”
"You're here again." Han Qi rolled his eyes, "I'm too lazy to tell you, anyway, I have a hunch, even if you don't say it, what you should know, Xiao Su can know in the end." ”
"We'll talk about that then."
****
There was a discussion in the spiritual world, Su Musha didn't know that he was a person with a firm mind, and he quickly calmed down his emotions. After wiping away the tears from his face, Su Musha took a deep breath and walked out of the house.
As soon as the results came out, Su Musha saw Ye Xuanling squatting in the courtyard, as if he was ...... Weeding?
Su Musha stepped forward and asked, "Xuan Ling, what are you doing?" ”
Ye Xuanling raised his head, there was still a little mud sticking to his face, but he smiled heartily, "I'm weeding the medicinal field left by Master." If you don't take care of it for a while, these weeds have grown. ”
Su Musha also squatted down with him, looked at it, and found that there were indeed medicinal materials planted here, and a small spirit gathering array was set up around it, so these medicinal materials grew very well.
"These are common herbs, and they are not unusual. If I have a cold, fever, or injury, I use these herbs to heal my injuries. It was planted by my master a long time ago, and even if I am out of town, I will come back every year to take care of these medicinal herbs in the future. ”
"That's as it should be," Su Musha rolled up his sleeves, "I'll help you." ”
Ye Xuan hurriedly excused himself, but Su Musha said, "Your master is my father's senior brother, so I should call him uncle." It's right to help my uncle, right? ”
Ye Xuanling had nothing to say now, but his good impression of Su Musha was even deeper.
Speaking of which, the appearance of these herbs is actually very similar to that of weeds, and if you are not careful, you will pull out the herbs as weeds. Fortunately, both of them have been exposed to medicinal materials since childhood, so the action is quite clinker, and it took half an hour to finally clean up a medicine field here.
Ye Xuanling patted the ash in his hand, brought a basin of water in the skill room, took two clean towels out, and took care of himself with Su Musha. "Thank you so much today, brother."
Su Mu wiped his face clean and said, "It's okay, Xuan Ling, where is your master's grave?" Let's go and worship together. ”
Ye Xuanling had no objection, "Okay." ”
Ye Xuanling went to pack up some incense candles and yellow paper, put them in a bag, and took Su Mu out of the wooden house.
Master Ye Xuanling's grave is in the back mountain. This time, the two did not take a ride on the Roc Bird, but walked there.
The scenery of the back mountain is very quiet, Master Ye Xuanling's grave is built in a dense forest, there is only a small tomb bag, and the stones are neatly stacked around it. Before the anger, he erected a small stone tablet, which was polished very smooth, but there was not a word engraved on it.
"This is what Master meant, he is a very low-key person, before leaving, I told me not to engrave any words on his tombstone, even if I go out to travel in the future, do not tell others about our sect and his name at will." Ye Xuanling explained. "Master said that many of the events he encountered in this life were caused by his reputation, and if it was possible, he would prefer to be an unknown ordinary person."
Ye Xuanling walked to the tomb, knelt down directly, and said to the tombstone, "Master, although the apprentice failed to bring Uncle Shi, he brought Uncle Shi's child." If you have a spirit in heaven, rest also. ”
Su Musha also knelt down beside him.
Ye Xuanling said a lot to the tombstone, talking about his experience of going out to catch the Rakshasa ghost, about the process of getting acquainted with Su Musha, and about the various ...... he was living in X City
He said a lot, but he didn't say anything about the fact that Uncle Shi might no longer be alive. Su Musha burned the yellow paper silently on the side, and the smoke rose, I don't know if it was because he was blinded by the smoke, or because his emotions were touched, when he was drunk, Ye Xuanling's eyes were red, and his voice was a little trembling, but he didn't cry.
When all the yellow paper burned out, Su Musha and Ye Xuanling stood up, Ye Xuanling lit six incense sticks, divided three to Su Musha, and the two brothers held incense in their hands, and kowtowed three heads each in front of Master Ye Xuanling's grave in turn, and then inserted the incense in front of the grave.
"Master's wish in this life is probably to find Uncle Shi, but I'm too useless, I missed it." Ye Xuanling shook his head and sighed, with a look of guilt on his face.
Su Musha patted him on the shoulder, "How can I blame you for this?" You didn't do anything wrong at all. And I don't think your master's greatest wish is to find my father......"
"Huh?" Ye Xuan looked up at him in confusion.
Su Musha smiled slightly, "His greatest wish should be that without his protection, you can live a peaceful and happy life, believe me." ”
Ye Xuanling held back tears for a long time, and finally fell, and then although his eyes were crying, the corners of his lips hooked, "I know." ”
"Let's go, I'm a little hungry, can you cook here?" Su Musha picked up the bag on the ground and changed the subject.
"It's been a long time since I've gone down to buy groceries, so I don't have the ingredients to cook. Come down the mountain with me, I know where the food is good. ”
"Okay, let's go."
******
Ye Xuanling went back to pack up his things, and then followed Su Musha and was taken down the mountain by the Dapeng bird.
This time the departure is not a farewell, but Ye Xuanling's first experience, just like Su Musha said, Ye Xuanling's master's greatest wish is to hope that the child he has seen since he was a child can spend his life in peace and joy. Since he has admitted this junior brother. Su Musha will treat Ye Xuanling as his own relatives. And although Ye Xuanling lost his master, he had two more family members.
——
As Ye Xuanling said, the village under the mountain is relatively closed and the economy is not developed, and outside the village, there are large pieces of farmland that have been cultivated. The pace of life of the villagers is also relatively slow, and along the way, Su Musha and the two can see the villagers working or chatting together.
They obviously knew Ye Xuanling, and when they saw him, they greeted him warmly. When Ye Xuanling introduced Su Musha as his cousin, these people praised Su Mushao's appearance and bearing again, which made Su Musha embarrassed.
"The people here are very enthusiastic, and their hearts and eyes are good, so you don't have to be restrained, senior brother." Ye Xuanling saw that Su Mu was uncomfortable, so he lowered his voice and said this to him.
"I think the most delicious thing here is the noodles sold in a noodle restaurant in the east of the village, since you are here, senior brother, you must come with me to eat it once."
"Okay," Su Musha smiled and nodded.
There are also shops in the village, but they are few in number, not large in scale, and sell some of the most basic daily necessities. Ye Xuanling came to a noodle shop with Su Mushao familiarly, and pointed to the noodle shop, "It's here, the noodles here are very strong, every time I went down the mountain in the past, I would come here to eat a bowl of noodles, and then bring a bowl to the master." ”
The chubby proprietress who was busy wiping the table in the store saw Ye Xuanling coming, and hurriedly walked out, and said in surprise, "Ah, it's Xuanling who is here, two fast forward, fast forward." ”
Ye Xuanling also greeted the proprietress, "Hello Aunt Zhang, this is my cousin, we came back this time to pack up our things, and then go to live with him for a while." ”
In one sentence, Su Musha's identity was introduced, and he also introduced his movements during this period of time and in the future. The proprietress smiled, and didn't ask these questions, just praised Su Musha vigorously, "Xuan Ling, your cousin is so good-looking!" I've been here for so many years, and I've never seen such a good-looking child, fast forward, fast forward, Aunt Zhang will make noodles for the two of you. ”
Ye Xuanling took Su Mushu to sit in the store, and said to the proprietress, "Then thank you, Aunt Zhang, I just told my cousin, saying that your noodles here are the best, and you have a good time coming here today." ”
The proprietress smiled happily when she was praised, and after asking them what kind of noodles they were eating, they went into the kitchen to get busy.
After Su Musha sat down, he looked around slightly, and saw that this noodle restaurant was more like a private house, but the position of the guest room was emptied, and tables and chairs were placed. Probably because it's not a meal now, so there are no other people in the restaurant besides the two of them.
"I found that everyone in the village seems to know you." Su Mushu said, this is not his delusion, just when they came over, those villagers, whether they were men or women, old or young, could call Ye Xuanling's name, and there was a vague respect for him.
Ye Xuanling smiled shyly, "It's probably because this village is relatively old, so occasionally some supernatural things will happen, since the last old Taoist priest in the village died thirty years ago, if anything happens, my master will go down the mountain to deal with it." My master had just moved here at that time, and it was for this reason that he was slowly recognized by the villagers. Later, when I could handle these things, Master asked me to handle them. So I know most of the villagers. ”
Su Musha nodded, "I see." Then I have a question that I don't understand. ”
