Chapter 12: All the Way West
Yin Gu and the others approached and bowed their hands, without meaning to block the way.
Yin Gu said: "Don't misunderstand, big brother, I'm not here to stop you." β
Yin Ze nodded, didn't say anything, turned around and left.
"Wait," Yin Gu hurriedly said, "Brother, do you really want to leave? We're a family, so why bother?"
Yin Ze stopped, didn't look back, and said coldly: "You mean, I was kicked out of the Yin family?"
Yin Gu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, big brother, I didn't mean that." Alas, big brother, I don't have anything to say if you insist on this, but are you going to leave like this? Where are you going?"
"How are you doing?"
"Big brother, you leave home alone, do you want to bring a few guards? This is Hou Da, who has the cultivation of transforming qi into a great achievement, or you take him with you, and you will also take care of him along the way. Yin Gu pointed to the master of the twelfth layer of the transformation qi beside him.
"No need, thank you!" Yin Ze waved his hand and walked away.
It was late, the sunset dyed the clouds red, the autumn wind suddenly rose, rolling up the fallen leaves on the road, like a fluttering butterfly, Yin Ze glanced back at the plaque of Yin's mansion, and strode away resolutely, his figure was gloomy.
At dusk, in the city of Luoyi, he is not a returnee, but a traveler.
Yin's Mansion is located in Chengping Street of Yin's Mansion, at this time there are fewer pedestrians, and occasionally homeless people walk by, Yin Ze's heart is sour, and since then, he is also a homeless wanderer.
With infinite emotion, Yin Ze turned the corner and bumped into an unexpected person.
"Pink, why are you here, where are you going?"
The person in front of him was none other than the maidservant who had served him for months, RosΓ©, carrying a huge package on her back and shivering in the autumn wind.
"Childe, I've finally waited for you. Pink exclaimed in surprise.
Yin Ze looked at her thin description, a trace of pity arose in his heart, and asked, "Where are you going to dress up like this?"
Peach said: "I'll go wherever Childe goes." β
"I'm wandering the world, I'm home, how can I take you, you go back to your house quickly. β
Unexpectedly, Peach's eyes were red, and she wanted to tears, and said aggrievedly: "It was Mrs. who ordered me to come, Mrs. said, the outside is not as good as the home, and she wants me to cook, wash, and make the bed for you......" She counted her fingers and was very serious,
Yin Ze said: "I don't need it, you go back quickly." β
"I have been kicked out of the Yin Mansion by Madame, and Madame said that if she wants me to go back, unless Gongzi takes me back. β
Yin Ze hesitated, did he want to take her with him? It was really inconvenient along the way. But do you want to send her home?
"Forget it, you follow me first, and I'll arrange a place for you to go. After hesitating for a while, Yin Ze decided to take the peach with him for the time being, and took the large package she was carrying. The package is quite heavy, and it is really difficult for her to carry it for a long time.
Peach broke into tears and smiled, and followed behind Yin Ze, as if Yin Ze had completed a great mission by agreeing to take her.
Girl, do you know that this is a long way to go to the mountains, and it is not a journey, but a wandering.
Yin Ze smiled bitterly and took her to Da Zhou's storage room, and before leaving, he finally got to meet Master Dan, a strange person who changed his fate.
This time, Master Dan did not refuse the guest and met with Yin Ze.
The books in the storage room were neatly organized, and there was not a trace of dust in even the most hidden places, and in the room where the lights were lit, the attendants had all gone home, and only the master was alone.
Yin Ze said after seeing the ceremony: "Master Dan, I'm leaving, come and see you." β
"Just go, don't think I'll keep you. "Master Dan is still very improper, and he is dumbfounded when he sees Taohong, this is the most knowledgeable Master Dan in the world?
Although his words were not serious, they dispelled Yin Ze's sorrow a lot, and Yin Ze sneered: "If you don't cultivate, you are not afraid of losing face if you say this in front of a little girl." β
"There is more than everyone else, but I am the only one. O fool of me!"
"Haha, I finally admit that I am a fool, and I have made progress. Yin Ze quipped.
Master Dan glanced at him and said, "Well, it's stupid. β
The subtext of this sentence is, you can't compare with my stupidity, and you can't compare with your wisdom, Yin Ze can naturally understand it, and he is very depressed, this old official is really three sentences that are not far from harmful.
Yin Ze waved his hand and said, "Old man, don't fix these useless things. Aren't you a fortune teller, tell me where I'm going next?"
The teacher smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say."
He pinched his fingers pretendedly, shook his head and said, "You can go west, you can go east, you can go south, you can go north." β
"What do you mean, so unreliable!" Yin Ze pointed to his face and said with disdain.
"Oh, and who said, 'The world is so big, doesn't there be a place for me?'"
This made Yin Ze embarrassed, this was what he thought when he left Yin's mansion, but he never said it, he didn't expect that Master Dan could even count this, and then Lai Pi said: "Who said it? β
"Not bad, not bad. Master Dan stroked his hands and laughed.
"What's good?"
"Cheeky. β
"Poof-" Peach, who was drinking tea, was amused by the two of them and couldn't help laughing.
"Who is this girl?"
"This is my sister Pink. When Yin Ze was frustrated, only Peach stubbornly wanted to go with him, and his heart was moved, so he no longer regarded him as a servant.
"No, no, I'm just a maid. Peach cheeks were flushed, and she shook her hands again and again, but her heart was as sweet as honey.
"Oh, it's Lady Pink, so I'll make a fortune for your trip. "Master Dan is rarely serious.
"I want to hear about it. β
"You are a man and a woman, and the woman is Kun Dao, giving birth to vitality, so your itinerary falls on the little girl. Peach is a girl, and the gossip is a hexagram, and the gossip of King Wen is in the west, so you go all the way to the west. β
"Uh...... What kind of algorithm is this? I don't read much, so don't bluff me. Besides, I didn't plan to take RosΓ© with me, and I'm going to bother you to arrange a good home for her. Yin Ze was very dissatisfied with Master Dan's method of divination, and made a request to entrust Taohong.
Before Master Dan could reply, Taohong said anxiously: "Childe, don't you want me?"
Yin Ze explained: "It's not that I don't want you anymore, I'm asking Master Dan to arrange a good home for you." My future is unpredictable, how can I let your little girl suffer with me?"
"No, I have sworn in front of my wife that if I can't follow you and serve you, I will be struck by thunder. The little girl pouted.
"This ......" Yin Ze was a little embarrassed.
Seeing the two competing, Master Dan was happy, and interjected: "Forget it, don't embarrass the little girl, you are a big boy bullying a little girl, are you ashamed?"
"Old man, what are you fooling around, you don't know how inconvenient it is for me to be homeless now, and it is inconvenient to take her. Yin Ze was a little annoyed.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. The teacher muttered, and went to read the book by himself.
Yin Ze also ignored him, and coaxed Taohong with good words, but he still tried every means to persuade the little girl, but the little girl just didn't agree to leave Yin Ze, and finally cried, saying that if Yin Ze didn't take her, she would only die, which made Yin Ze have a big headache.
"Okay, don't cry, I can't take you with me!" Yin Ze gave in.
"Really? Pink didn't believe it.
Yin Ze rubbed his fingers, and reluctantly hooked with her: "I lied to you that you were a puppy." β
"Okayβ" The little girl jumped up excitedly, extremely happy.
"Alas!" Yin Ze rubbed his temples, felt that his head hurt, turned his head to look, and saw that the master was actually asleep with the book in his hand, and he was not angry, so he walked over and pulled his beard.
Master Dan alertly grabbed Yin Ze's wrist with his fingers and did not let him succeed.
"You want to sneak up on me, no way!" said Master Dan, smiling contemptuously.
Yin Ze withdrew his palm and said hatefully: "Old man, don't sleep, get up and get busy, help me detoxify first, and then guide me to the itinerary." β
"Heheβare the family matters done?"
"Go to your housework, don't change the subject, don't rub it off, detoxify me. β
"Why do you want others to cure the poison in yourself?"
This sentence makes so much sense, Yin Ze was speechless and helped his dizzy forehead. It seems that this old man is determined not to help him detoxify, otherwise he would not have refused him last time, and besides, no matter what the old man said, he was his benefactor, and it was not easy to force it, so he asked:
"And what about my next trip?"
"All the way to the west, didn't I tell you?" Master Dan flicked his fingers and gave Yin Ze a brain crash with a "boom".
"You ......" Yin Ze touched his aching head and complained, "Okay, do you have anything else to say?"
"Say what?"
"For example, Taoism, supernatural powers, send me pills, and so on. β
"Think beautifully. β
"Such a small device, so peach sees you for the first time, you can't fail to meet you. With that, Yin Ze pulled the peach red and asked her to salute the teacher.
Master Dan sighed and said, "What a slippery head, okay, I'll pass on the little girl's Qi Refining Technique." β
Yin Ze was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Taohong.
Master Dan said again: "Taohong, since you want to follow Yin Ze, the Ze in Yin Ze's name is Jinxing, and it is compatible with Taomu, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, I'll change your name for you, it's okay to be called Ziyun?"
It is an honor for others to give the name of the most learned person in the world, and the little girl hurriedly thanked her.
Yin Ze was a little unconvinced, and scolded: "Old man, what are your intentions!
"It's okay, why don't I change your name too?" What do you think of Yin Xi's name?"
"I'm glad you're big!" Yin Ze immediately replied.
The little girl who changed her name to Ziyun watched the two lose each other, and smiled deliciously.
The bright moon shone into the window lattice, and the night was already dark, Master Dan secretly passed on the Purple Cloud Qi refining technique, and gave her a pill to lay a solid foundation for it, which made Yin Ze jealous.
Early the next morning, after Yin Ze and Ziyun had used it too early, they bid farewell to the Dan Shi and left Luoyi on the good horse given by the Dan Shi.
When parting, Master Dan sent Yin Ze a sentence again, "Kindness is like water." Water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is more than the Tao. β
Good as water?
Yin Ze looked at the surging Luoshui and let out a long howl, startling countless water birds.
It is said that people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. What kind of rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes?
Is it the rivers and lakes of water?
Two horses carried the morning sun on their backs, and galloped away along the dust, and the sound of horses resounded in the sky, leaving a few shallow lines of horseshoe prints.
"Childe, where are we going?"
"All the way to the west. β
