Chapter 41, the first person in a hundred years
The news of Xiao Qi's death has spread all over the Worm Gate in just a few days, and it is unknown what kind of turmoil it will cause, but those conspirators who were pressed by Xiao Qi in the dark. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info is bound to take the opportunity to make waves, and the worm gate may usher in a new crisis again.
We stayed in Camellia Cave for two days, and Xiao Guan took care of some matters, so we left Hunan. Master Bai went with us to see off Grandpa, and finally dressed in white and left the lonely fluorite cave.
Mother with the ashes of grandpa and black dog. Carrying the spiritual position that has already been prepared.
Just like the previous departures, we all left Camellia Mountain on a moonlit night.
It took a few days on the road to return to the familiar and unfamiliar hometown town.
It's a gentle town, but it's also a relatively closed town.
The townspeople are also immersed in the festive Spring Festival.
We returned to our hometown town in the evening, which is a familiar town and a strange town, and in my heart, I prefer to regard Camellia Mountain as my new hometown. novel
After more than a year of absence, I am back here.
Our houses have long since been set on fire.
Fortunately, the general shelf is still there. The walls did not collapse. Behind the house, the cave remains. Old Gu, Long Braids, and Master Bai can stay in the cave for the night.
The rest went to the town's inn for the night. Early the next morning, we bought all kinds of materials, paint, cement, lime, and tiles, and hired some workers to paint the blackened walls with white plaster, re-cover the burned roofs and fallen tiles, remove the weeds in front of the yard, knock out uneven places, and re-fence the fallen fences around the yard.
We were busy for a few days, and the house, which had been burned down by the fire, was revitalized and gained popularity. With the breath of life. Since I was a child, I have never been so lively, Madou occasionally sings, and the light singing voice lingers in the house and yard.
Xiao Guan found someone in the middle of the courtyard again, set up a simple mourning hall, wrapped with white cloth, and looked like cedar trees, hanging around. Laibu Chaba reads;.
A large table was set up, and the grandfather's spiritual seat was placed in the middle, and the incense burnt was lit.
The ashes in the box were wrapped in a white cloth and placed behind the spiritual seat.
When we went to the town to buy dark products, the people in the town knew that Xiao Qi had passed away, but some old people remembered their grandfather. Dragged with the support of children and grandchildren. Carrying a pound of paper money, he came over and lit a piece of incense for his grandfather, chattered a few words, shed some tears, and sighed and left.
The mother was grateful and said a lot of words of thanks.
The brazier in front of the mourning hall burned, and the paper money was thrown into it one by one, constantly burning flames, and turning into black dust, and the curling smoke and dust dissipated with the breeze.
A person's life is like paper money in this brazier, after it is burned, only ashes remain, who remembers
Ma Dan led Ma Dou to kowtow to Grandpa.
Ma Dou said: "My Abba often recites the names of Lord Worm King and Feng Shui Master Xiao, I saw the Worm King, but I didn't see your old man. I've kowtowed to your old man. Madou knelt on the grass futon and kowtowed respectfully.
I stood aside, and couldn't help but think in my heart: "According to Xiao Guan's herald, tomorrow is fifteen days, but there are still very few people who come to worship and send off, except for the people in the town, there is not a single one in the insect gate, and the people in the insect gate, have they received the transmission?"
Xiao Guan's face was terrifyingly dark, and he scolded: "Ungrateful and so bad, don't they really dare to offend the Zeng family and the Meng family?"
Seeing that the insect king was angry, Ma Dan didn't dare to interject, and glanced at the dragon snake.
Long Xiaosnake comforted: "Brother Guan, if they don't come, they won't come." Uncle Xiao is not a person who likes to be lively. Wait until tomorrow night, let's sprinkle Uncle Xiao's ashes into the river. ”
My mother was worried all night, thinking: "Will Aunt Xie come, will she blame me after she knows the news?" Blame us for burning my father's body. ”
"Aunt Xie" I frowned, and immediately understood in my heart. The Aunt Xie in the mother's mouth is very likely to be the Miss Xie in the grandfather's mouth, and the grandfather owes Miss Xie in a flower shop. Before his grandfather died, he left two letters, one of which was addressed to this Miss Xie.
"If she comes, how am I going to tell her, how am I going to tell her?" The mother muttered to herself, a little overwhelmed, "If Aunt Xie's anger burns, it will be terrible"
I couldn't understand more and more, could it be that this girl from the Xie family was a terrible woman.
However, I was looking forward to Miss Xie appearing, firstly, to give her the letter left by my grandfather, and secondly, to ask her about the clues of the Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart.
The night passed quickly, and the next day finally came. A round of morning sun rises from the east, and it is a sunny day. The dead grass on the side of the road began to twitch the buds, and the wind blowing was no longer a cold wind, but a spring breeze.
No matter how difficult the winter is, spring is still slowly approaching.
Xiao Guan and Long Xiaosnake prepared a lot of food and various refreshments to entertain the people who came to worship from the Worm Gate.
When dusk came, it was immediately dark. It was remarkably quiet throughout the day, and no one came. Xiao Guan stood in front of the courtyard angrily, and Long Xiaosnake followed him uneasily.
Suddenly, from the national highway, a car full of dust came, the car stopped in front of the courtyard, two well-cultivated young people got out of the car, and said, "Master, it's here"
An elderly man with gray hair got out of the car, dressed in black, and after getting out of the car, put the clothes away. Two young men take out two gardens from the back of the car.
"Xiao Qi, you are finally ahead of me," the old man said to himself.
Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes with every step he took, and when he walked to the front of the mourning hall, he was already in tears.
The old man said: "You, you, for so many years, don't you want to go to me again because of those things, how lonely my heart is, don't you know that hey, monk, I still came to see you"
I looked at the old man in front of me in amazement.
The old man walked up to his mother and said, "I'm late." I was a good friend of your father when I was young, but unfortunately I haven't seen each other for decades because of something. It was also a few days ago that I heard the news of his death by chance, so I came in the dust."
The mother returned the salute and said, "Thank you for coming over to see you off." ”
The old man was silent and said, "I can only come and see him off." Other than that, nothing can help. I'm not a man of courage."
The old man stepped aside and stood upright, the tears in his eyes still flowing, and he was a few years older for a while.
At his age, his friends are gradually passing away, and there are not many left.
The wreath was placed aside, I looked at the name on it, and when I saw the place where the payment was made, I only saw the word "monk", but I didn't know the real name of this person.
However, the tears in his eyes should be real and not false, and the emotions contained in the tears have naturally passed the test of time.
Dusk is over, and the town is beginning to quiet down. A long line of headlights lit up, and various footsteps were heard.
From the edge of the town, many people came at once.
"We are from the Guo family. Although our Guo family has a lot of festivals with Xiao Qi, he is a great character after all, let's send him off. Guo Jialai said very politely, with some complaining in his words.
"We are from the Worm Family, and Xiao Qi is the most amazing person in the Worm Sect in the past hundred years. This fall is a great misfortune in the insect gate, and I don't know what kind of changes will happen to the insect gate. "The evaluation of the insect family is relatively much higher.
Even the Shen family in the Northeast also came, and they didn't mention anything about Shen Te's affairs and the soil egg insects, so they respectfully incensed Xiao Qi and sealed a wreath.
The reason is that grandpa had a deep friendship with a very capable person in their Shen family.
The people who came with the Shen family, as well as the Xie family. Ma Dan's wife is the Xie family, so he lives in the Xie family and greets the visitors.
More and more people came, and it turned out that they all liked to be active at night, and I was relieved.
Most of these self-proclaimed people are the Worm Gate forces that Master Bai once said.
The two families of Hedong Worm Guo and the two families of Shen Xie in the Northeast are here. Among these four, the Worm Family has the highest evaluation of Xiao Qi, the most amazing person in the Worm Sect in the past hundred years, and this sentence alone is enough.
