Chapter 56: At the Grave
On the back hill of Baique Peak, there are two old tombs and a new tomb.
One of them, with the inscription on the back: The tomb of Lin Zaizhou, the chief disciple of the Imperial Heaven Sect.
Another old tomb next to Lin Zaizhou's tomb is buried with Lin Qi's second master Huang Lishi, and in the new tomb a little farther away, Lin Qi's fourth master Bo Zuo Yiwu is buried.
In front of the tomb, there were two people standing, namely Lin Qi and Xia Xuanting.
Lin Qi held the wine gourd in his hand, and sprinkled the wine in front of the tombs of the three people in turn, and after even Zuo Yiwu's tomb was sprinkled, he returned to Lin Zaizhou's tombstone and stood still.
In the wine gourd, there was still half of the wine left, Lin Qi's expression was gloomy, his eyes were sad, and after a little groaning, he picked up the wine gourd and poured a big sip.
The wine trickled down the corner of Lin Qi's mouth and poured into his neck, but he didn't feel it.
After swallowing it in one gulp, Lin Qi raised his sleeve and wiped it, and handed the wine to his mentor Xia Wanting beside him, who looked at the wine gourd, then at Lin Qi, smiled slightly, and then took it and poured it down.
"Your sister won't let me drink now. ”
As he spoke, Xia Xuanting took another sip.
"Don't worry, Shi Niang won't blame you, the one who feels the most sorry for you on weekdays is actually Shi Niang. ”
Hearing Lin Qi's words, Xia Xuanting was slightly stunned, then laughed, raised his head and poured another sip, and then returned the wine gourd to Lin Qi.
"It's still the wine made in the small wine village that is the most mellow. ”
"Yes, Uncle Master, Uncle Second Master, they're the best on weekdays......"
Lin Qi turned the wine pot and drank it all.
"How did the second uncle and the fourth uncle pass away?"
At the beginning, Lin Qi asked the fourth and fifth uncles to return to Shanmen to take care of Lin Zaizhou's funeral, but he didn't expect that it was only ten years, but he was already separated from the fourth master forever.
"After all, your second master and uncle are old, and they left in the second year after you left, but they were very peaceful when they left, you don't have to worry, your second master and uncle have superb medical skills, and he knows his body better than anyone else, and he can eat and drink as much as he wants before leaving, except for you, even the people he has met have seen one by one, so there is no pain and regret. ”
Hearing Xia Xuanting say this, Lin Qi also nodded, it seems that the old man's only wish is to wait for him to come back.
Now, although it is a little late, I am afraid that this wish can also be fulfilled.
"Second uncle, I'm back. ”
Lin Qi came to the tomb of the second master and knelt down, and knocked three heads, each time he knocked the flesh, and the first head knocked down, and it turned red directly.
Seeing this scene, Xia Xuanting was also very pleased.
"Before your second master passed away, his only wish was to be buried on the White Bird Peak, next to the grave of your master uncle, he said that he did not stay here to protect Yutianzong during his lifetime, which is the biggest regret in this life, so he must be buried here after death, hoping to protect the future of Yutianzong and protect the pear with you. ”
Hearing these words, Lin Qi couldn't help but be moved again, tears fell down the grave, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
At this time, Xia Juanting looked at Zuo Yiwu's tombstone again.
"Your fourth uncle's body has not been tough, these years of running around, infected with a strange disease, long incurable, passed away a year ago, his requirements are the same as your second uncle, want to stay in the mountain, in fact, this is also the common wish of several of our brothers. ”
Lin Qi nodded, stood up from in front of Huang Lishi's grave, and knelt down in front of Zuo Yiwu's grave, and kowtowed three times.
"Master, third uncle, fifth uncle, and master, how are they now?"
It seemed that Lin Qi had already known that Lin Qi would ask such a question, so Xia Xuanting smiled calmly and was not in a hurry to explain.
"Your third uncle, you have been in the Tianshan Twilight Snow Clan all these years, and you have no chance to come back, we can only contact us by letter for ten years, but we have never seen each other again. ”
Lin Qi nodded, and also understood the situation of the third master, Bo Mu Xuanli.
"Although Dahua did not choose to attack the Tianshan Mountains in the end, he did not give up the blockade of the Dusk Snow Clan, because the Dahua army was pressing everywhere, and the life of the Dusk Snow Clan was not easy. ”
Time can really take away everything, but I didn't expect the old man in Dusk Tu to pass away, hearing this, Lin Qi unconsciously looked back at the three tombstones, and for a while he felt that he was too late to come back.
"And your fifth uncle. Speaking of Su Kongyang, Xia Xuanting first sighed, "Although we are brothers, but your fifth master and the fourth uncle have the best relationship, since your fourth uncle passed away, your fifth uncle went down the mountain alone, traveled all over the country, this trip is more than a year, there is no news during the period, during the period just asked someone to bring back a letter, the letter did not say where he was, I really don't know how he is doing." ”
Lin Qi's fifth teacher, Bosu Kongyang, although he was born with a fierce appearance, is an excellent person, but he is not good at words and does not like to associate with living people, and now he is leaving alone, which is indeed worrying.
"Master, I know, I'll ask someone to inquire in a few days to see if there will be any news of the fifth master. ”
Xia Xuanting is very relieved, he knows his personality as an apprentice, the so-called words must be practiced, and he is also careful and steady in doing things, so he doesn't have to worry about this matter when he hands it over.
"As for your master, I went to Yanjing a few days ago, and you also know that your sixth uncle and firefly are in Yanjing, especially your sixth uncle, who is still unconscious, although there is a comb by his side, but it is indeed very difficult to take care of a patient like your sixth uncle, and fortunately, your sixth uncle worked well in Yanjing before, so there is a place to live, otherwise I am afraid that I will not even be able to save this life. ”
Thinking of Qin Feiling's situation, Xia Xuanting could only sigh again and again, and really didn't know what to do.
Hearing this, Lin Qi also wanted to go to some of the things he had said to Xiao Yue before, he knew that the sixth master and uncle were like this, and they were all in the relationship of the imperial court, and many of them had the meaning of Emperor Yang, but in the face of Xia Xuanting, it was difficult to say.
However, Lin Qi should also know that with his master's exquisite thoughts, he probably knows the reason, and he is afraid that it is difficult to say it if he faces himself.
"Xiao Qi, when are you looking for fireflies?"
At this time, Xia Xuanting finally asked the most critical question, after all, it was about his own daughter, although he reunited with Lin Qi after a long absence, but if this kid was half-hearted, as a father, he would naturally not be able to spare him.
Lin Qi hesitated, and didn't say a reason for a long time, Xia Xuanting's heart trembled, and he thought that he was really on a business trip, but he didn't expect Lin Qi's face to be embarrassed, and he finally smiled.
"Master, you said that I have been gone for ten years and came back so late, at this time to find Firefly, will this girl beat me directly?"
Seeing the appearance of his apprentice, Xia Xuanting was immediately relieved, but finally laughed.
"Who can you blame for what you did?"
Lin Qi scratched his hair, and knew that this matter could no longer be shirked, so he finally made up his mind at this time.
"Master, I will accompany you for a few days, and after a few days, I will go to the capital to pick up the girl back. ”
After taking it back, it was naturally going to get married, Xia Xuanting heard what Lin Qi meant, as a father, of course he also hoped that his daughter could be happy, so he nodded, which was considered to be agreed.
However, there are many other things to consider.
"What are you going to do when you go to the capital?"
Of course, Xia Xuanting didn't ask about the matter of fireflies, but in the face of Sword Pavilion and Zhao Jing, how should he deal with it?
"Back then, the destruction and pain that Zhao Jing brought to us, of course, can't just end like this, but every time I think of the teachings of the master, I have another understanding. ”
As he spoke, Lin Qi turned his head and looked at Qin Feiling's tombstone.
"Master, you say, what is the original intention of the master to inherit the will of the ancestors and establish the Yutianzong? If you ask me now, I don't know how to do it. ”
After Lin Qi finished speaking, he always seemed to feel a little struggling in his heart, but at this time, Xia Xuanting reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"It's okay, don't worry, you can think about this matter slowly, as long as you are worthy of your own mind, the rest, no matter what, I, me and your sister, and your uncles, will support you!"
Xia Xuanting's words moved Lin Qi very much, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
At this time, Xia Xuanting's expression suddenly became serious again.
"Lin Qi. ”
"Master?"
"There's one thing that should have been done ten years ago, and although it's been delayed until it's almost done, now that you're back, I don't think it's too late!"
Lin Qi didn't know what he meant, but he could feel the chilling momentum on Xia Juanting's body gushing out!
