In the courtyard at the west end of Yuanjiang County, the people who are responsible for the aftermath of the old sect leader are not only Xiao Yuzhi, but also some brothers of the county government, and Shi Sheng is also busy.

It had been a long time since noon, and Yi Shuyuan, who had disappeared from everyone's sight for a while, reappeared, bringing back a simple meal bought from outside.

Today, Xiao Yuzhidu had a bit of a bad time, until it was getting late, and the mourning hall gradually quieted down.

The old brothers of the yamen all had families, and it was somewhat taboo to say that this kind of white thing was not a relative, so in the evening, most of them said goodbye one by one.

"Yuzhi, I'll leave first!" "Yuzhi, then I'll come early tomorrow morning!"

"Alas, thank you!"

"Or I'll stay too."

Some of the officials took their leave, while others gritted their teeth and prepared to stay and keep vigil together.

"Don't worry, I'm here, you better go home, if you stay here, the elder wife of the family will definitely say it."

"Let's go, let's go, Mr. Yi is here." "Yes, Mr. Yi is here."

"Then I'll come early tomorrow!"

"Hmm!"

After the people of the yamen greeted each other, they left one after another, and only Xiao Yuzhi, as well as Yi Shuyuan and Shi Sheng's master and apprentice were left in the small courtyard.

"Mr. Yi, you don't actually have to stay, I know that you are also a local, and it is taboo to stay here for other people's funerals."

"It's okay, Yi doesn't care about this, besides, my house is far away from here, you won't let me rush back in the middle of the night, right?"

Xiao Yuzhi looked at Yi Shuyuan and nodded.

"Okay, let's get something to eat, it's still too reluctant to let Shi Sheng tinker in the kitchen."

Yi Shuyuan said this and walked to the kitchen, this Shi Sheng was cooking there, and it was decent.

Dinner was just a simple deal, and the door of the mourning hall was open for the winter, and the three of them sat on the edge of the mourning hall at night, and the corpse of the old sect leader in a shroud was lying on a door panel, as if he was just asleep.

At this moment, Xiao Yuzhi, who seemed to be a little numb, gradually emerged with sadness in his heart, and the person who could talk to him was Yi Shuyuan's master and apprentice.

"When I was a child, I lived and ate with the boat, there was no one to rely on, from south to north, as long as I could have something to eat, I did all the hard work, when I was twelve years old, I followed the owner of a big boat in Yuanjiang County, the boat stopped for a few days, and I also met my master."

With Xiao Yuzhi's narration, Yi Shuyuan and Shi Sheng also understood the role of the old godmaster in the past ten years, and they were also able to better understand the emotions of Xiao Yuzhi and the old godmaster.

"In the past, I always wanted to go out and explore the rivers and lakes, and I felt that I had grown my ability, but now I think about it, it is really unfilial."

"People can't be resurrected after death, and the old sect leader can be regarded as smiling, you don't have to blame yourself too much, you are sad and sad today, lean on the chair and rest, there are still a few days to survive."

Hearing Yi Shuyuan say this, Xiao Yuzhi shook his head.

"I'm not tired, if my husband is tired, you can go to the room to sleep for a while, and Shi Sheng, it's time to rest. Ho."

Xiao Yuzhi said and spoke, yawned slightly, leaned his head against the chair and looked at the body of the old leader, recalling the bits and pieces of the past, and unconsciously his eyes gradually closed, but the thoughts of memories did not stop, but became more and more real

It's like a morning a few years ago, when Xiao Yuzhi first had the idea of going out to explore the rivers and lakes.

In the courtyard, Xiao Yuzhi, who was holding a stone lock with his arms outstretched, was putting on a posture to practice the pile, and the internal force of his body flowed with the qi and blood, and a stream of heat turned his whole body, making him feel like his internal qi overflowing from the body and wrapping himself into a ball.

It's just that Xiao Yuzhi seems to have suddenly woken up in a dream, and looked at all this in front of him in a daze.

The senses and memories in the dream were very strange, Xiao Yuzhi seemed to be unclear, and the master was dead, holding the stone lock and watching his master hurriedly come back from carrying a box.

It's just that the memory in the dream is a memory, but the emotion is real, Xiao Yuzhi saw the master come back, and a wave of excitement and longing rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Master, are you back? I miss you so much! ”

Xiao Yuzhi immediately put down the stone lock and followed the master into the classroom happily.

"What do you think, haven't I been gone for less than a day, and I'm done with my practice?"

"I'm done!"

Xiao Yuzhi looked at the table, the master had already opened the box, and inside the box was actually a set of clothes.

"Master, will you buy me clothes?"

"What to buy for you, this is the old man's own, didn't you always say that you want to go out to the rivers and lakes recently?"

The old sect leader glanced at the disciple as he spoke, and said with a smile while taking out his clothes and trying them on his body.

"Actually, your kung fu has already entered the house, if you are careful, it is more than enough to go out to the rivers and lakes, since you think so, the old man will not stop you, you can go out from now on."

"Master, what about you? Why don't I go out."

"What's the matter, you can follow me for the rest of your life? Besides, your master and I are not wasted people, I also have a place to go, do you see, do you know what kind of clothes this is? ”

Asked by the master like this, Xiao Yu subconsciously looked at the clothes in the master's hand, but saw that the clothes looked very gorgeous.

Or it's not gorgeous, the shape of the clothes itself is good, but it seems to have a faint layer of brilliance, so it looks extraordinary.

"Which shop made this clothes, and what kind of fabric?"

"Hey, I don't know, this is the golden silk divine robe, the treasure given by the Emperor of Heaven to the Far North Demon Palace, your master and I, this time is different from the past, and I will be on an errand under the Demon Saint Venerable in the future~~~"

Listening to Master's tone of joy with obvious exuberance, Xiao Yuzhi was shocked and couldn't help but be happy at the same time, he hadn't seen Master's demeanor for a long time.

"Demon Venerable, it's a little familiar."

"Nonsense, of course it's familiar, it's Wuwei Fu Demon Heaven Bless the Protector of the Country, the Ming Spirit, and the Holy True Monarch!"

"Huh?"

Xiao Yuzhi was stunned for a moment.

"But Master, isn't that the Great Heavenly God of Demon Suppression?"

"That's it!"

"But, but you said you were going to work as an errand under him, then you."

Xiao Yuzhi was stunned, but found that his master had no idea when he had put on his clothes, but he was a tall figure wearing a divine robe and a crown of wings.

His back is no longer rickety, and his figure is fuller, just like when Master used to boast about how he looked when he was young.

At this moment, the old sect leader smiled and turned his head to look at the disciple in a daze, and took his paused words and continued.

"Then your master and I will naturally be gods!"

Xiao Yuzhi's eyes widened, but he saw that his master had already walked to the gate step by step, and then walked to the courtyard gate, and looked back at the stunned disciple in front of the door.

"In the future, the master will watch you from the sky, you have to remember it clearly for me, don't be a traitor, don't fall for evil, otherwise the teacher will come to arrest you himself! Well, let's go! ”

Seeing that the master was leaving, Xiao Yuzhi reacted and hurriedly chased out.

But the feet in the dream seemed to be hundreds of times heavier, and they couldn't run fast, and when they arrived in the courtyard, they saw the master stepping on the clouds and going to the sky.

"Master—"

With a shout, Xiao Yuzhi's body shook and woke up from his sleep.

As soon as I opened my eyes, it was dark and dim, and everything was very quiet in the night, the Master's body, the candle flame under the door panel, and the mourning hall that had not changed much

"Ho"

Then a chill hit, Xiao Yuzhi shrank back, and found that he was covered with a piece of clothing, which turned out to be just a dream.

"What, I dreamed of your master?"

Yi Shuyuan's voice came from the side, Xiao Yuzhi looked to the side, and saw that Mr. Yi was looking at him with concern, and immediately smiled.

"Yes, I dreamed of Master."

Shi Sheng was also asleep just now, and was awakened by Xiao Yuyi's shout, which looked at the latter, and immediately made him open his mouth slightly, this Brother Xiao actually laughed!

"Thinking about it day and dreaming at night, it is normal for people, or maybe your master is afraid that you will be too sad, so he specially came to give you a dream!"

"Yes, it should be the master who came to give me a dream."

Xiao Yuzhi still had a smile on his face at the moment, the dream was too real, and he looked at Yi Shuyuandao.

"Sir, do you know what Master said in his dream? He said he was going to manifest himself as a god under the Lord! ”

"Manifest Saint True Monarch, isn't that the Demon Demon Venerable?"

"yes!"

Yi Shuyuan smiled and nodded.

"A good place to go, and it's also suitable for the old leader!"

Xiao Yuzhi was slightly surprised.

"Sir, believe these?"

Yi Shuyuan smiled.

"That's good news, so why not believe it? A person like Lu Lao's sect leader will not suffer after death, and it is not surprising that he can be a god. ”

"Sir is right, but Sir is a Confucian student, how can he believe such a thing?"

"Hahahaha, your master also asked so."

Above the mourning hall, during the vigil, the night watchman did not have much sadness at the moment, but showed a smile, even Shi Sheng grinned, after hearing Brother Xiao say that the master became a god, Shi Sheng already felt something.

By dawn the next day, when someone else came over, Xiao Yuzhi was much better today than yesterday's decadence.

The aftermath of the old sect leader has gradually passed, and he has done things, been buried, and buried

After dealing with Master's major affairs and dealing with all the trivial matters, a period of time has passed.

On this day, Xiao Yuzhi went to the yamen, handed over the key to the old house to Wang Zhutou, and asked him to take care of the house more, while he was ready to embark on the road to the rivers and lakes.

Yi Shuyuan and Shi Sheng sent Xiao Yuzhi to the gate of Yuanjiang County, and walked outside the South City Gate before a few people stopped.

"Mr. Yi, Shi Sheng, you can send it here, it's not like I won't come back!"

Xiao Yuzhi said this, but Shi Sheng said seriously.

"But when you come back, you may not be able to see me and Master."

Xiao Yuzhi grinned, this kid.

"Shi Sheng, in fact, your physical condition is very good, practice more of the posture I taught you, and you will be able to practice a good martial arts in the future!"

"Oh"

In fact, Yi Shuyuan had also taught Shi Sheng for a while before, but he neglected to practice, but in recent days, Xiao Yuzhi has taught him very seriously, and Shi Sheng has been forced to work hard for a while.

Yi Shuyuan also smiled.

"Okay, you have to say goodbye to you for a thousand miles, and you will see you again in the future."

"Well, take care, sir, Shi Sheng, Xiao Yuzhi has left!"

Xiao Yuzhi hugged his fists and saluted, perhaps because of his master, although he and Yi Shuyuan's master and apprentice had not known each other for a long time, they had already regarded them as elders who had known each other for many years.

At the same time that Yi Shuyuan gave his hand, Shi Sheng learned from the people of the rivers and lakes to also salute with his fists, and said seriously.

"There will be a date later!"

"There will be a date later!"

Xiao Yuzhi reached out and pinched Shi Sheng's cheek, then took two steps back, turned around and left along the official road.
