To tell the truth, although Ding Feixiong also experienced strife and fighting back then, the main cause was martial arts, Guiyuan Dan and Guiyuan Gong, and it was also the grievances and hatred involved in the disputes and martial arts battles in the rivers and lakes.

And this time, what the monk could not see was the real troubled times, although the nominal state Zuo was still there, the imperial court's control over the world had obviously been greatly reduced.

A letter and a few pieces of paper can't record too many things, but although it is only such a small space, Yi Shuyuan seems to have experienced from Xiangshan Baosha to Nanyan Zhuxing Province with the monk.

Along the way, you can't be a monk, but you can't just be a monk.

You can beg for food, or you can exchange labor for food, carry, erect, and preside over rituals, or plough the land instead of ploughing oxen to pull farm tools.

And the seeds in the bag were not wasted, and it also brought hope to the people who were about to lose their life.

Monks can be compassionate and don't mind the angry eyes of Vajra, and the vows of killing, hatred, and meat have been broken more than once.

To tell the truth, sometimes a monk becomes less and less like a monk, but sometimes if you do things simply, and don't think about the Dharma in everything, you will feel a little less confused in your heart, and you will have a different understanding of the Dharma afterwards.

Until in an abandoned tower, the monk who sat and stayed overnight met several Jianghu people, and Chi Qinghu and Mai Lingfei were also among them.

When he saw that he couldn't be a monk, although many years had passed, Chi Qinghu, who had been to Xiangshan Treasure Temple, recognized it for the first time, although he didn't say anything, but he was shocked in his heart.

Because Chi Qinghu probably already understands that the "non-abstaining monk" or "non-abstaining King Kong" that has been circulating on the rivers and lakes recently, is probably the unavailable monk in front of him.

Life is sometimes so wonderful, generally speaking, there are three intersections between Chi Qinghu and the monk who can't be found.

At the moment when Chi Qinghu was young, the elders had an old relationship with Ding Feixiong, and it would still be the era of the turbulent rivers and lakes of Dayan, and it was also the era of grievances and hatred of the first master Ding Feixiong, almost more than 30 years have passed.

The second time there was an intersection, Chi Qinghu relied on his own relationship to go to Dayong, wanting to find Ding Daxia to fight against the demon national teacher, but Ding Feixiong, who was once dominant, has become an ordinary monk in an ordinary temple, and his martial arts have been abolished.

The third time is today

It was also this meeting that the monk learned of Mr. Yi's whereabouts from Chi Qinghu, and the letter was also written in the tower.

And when Mai Lingfei realized that the monk in front of him turned out to be the famous "Ding Feixiong" back then, and he was also shocked and regretful, even if this name is now rarely known in Nanyan.

——

In Xihe Village, although Yi Shuyuan's "reading letter" has far exceeded the content recorded on the paper, it has finally come to an end.

"Don't quit Vajra. The great monk came from the rivers and lakes, and after all, he still practiced Buddhism in the way of the rivers and lakes. ”

"Brother, what about the back?"

"Yes, yes, Grandpa Yi, is there anything else behind?"

Yi Shuyuan folded the letter and shook his head.

"Of course, there are still some in the back, but there is no longer one on the letterhead."

Although everyone is a little unsatisfied, this will finally not hold back.

"I didn't expect this Nan Yan to be like this."" The people of Nanyan are really bitter. ”

"Stability is more important than anything else!"

Someone looked at the other letters in Yi Shuyuan's hand.

"Brother Yi, there are so many letters here"

"Go, go, it's not you who read the letter, you're not tired, why don't you have to drink some tea and rest, right?"

Seeing Yi Baokang like this, Yi Shuyuan, who was still thinking about not being a monk just now, couldn't help but laugh dumbly, but he couldn't help but think about Nanyan's troubled times in his heart.

The hundred-legged insect is still dead but not stiff, and Dayan has been in the society for hundreds of years, and now the troubled times will not change the dynasty in an instant, and may have to struggle for several years

In the distance, in the grass hut, the land lord shook his head and sighed.

"This can't be a monk to break the vows frequently, although it is happy, but I am afraid that the Buddhas will hate this Buddhist disciple if they know it, and it will be difficult to achieve positive results, and they will not be able to die in the future and be reborn in bliss."

The snack in his hand has changed from snake meat to hawthorn ash, and he glanced at the land lord.

"What do you care about the Buddha, anyway, I sound very good, save what should be saved, save what should be saved, kill what should be killed!"

——

The barn is the main activity place of the people of Xihe Village, and it is also the "intelligence center" in the village.

After all, no matter how chaotic the world is, at least Dayong, at least Yuezhou, and at least Yuanjiang County, it is still very stable, and there is no worry about the attack of bandits and thieves at night, and there is no worry about tea and rice during the day.

The days seem to be immutable, but in this immutability, there are also changes, and they are big changes in life.

Some people in the village are reborn, some people are old, and birth, old age, sickness and death are an inescapable thing.

The twelfth year of Hongxing, the winter solstice.

Yi Abao returned from Yuezhou in a carriage, and at this moment he had passed Yuanjiang County, not far from Xihe Village, and his son Yi Han returned with the car.

Now that Yi Abao's children are almost at the age when they can start a family, his son Yi Han is tall, a little taller than his father, and his daughter Yi Lin is already slim.

The children all inherited some of their mother's beauty advantages, and were born handsome and delicate.

In Dayong, the winter solstice is also a very important day, not only the guiding role of the solar terms, but also a certain sense of reunion, respect for the elderly and filial piety to their parents, go home for a meal, and it is time to prepare for the coming year.

In the carriage, father and son chatted in a relaxed mood.

"Dad, I heard that when Grandpa was ninetieth birthday, many people from ten miles and eight townships came, and even the county officials came to congratulate!"

"Yes, my sister's letter said that there were more than 100 tables at the birthday banquet, but it was lively, your uncle was a handful of years old, and he was still telling stories at the birthday banquet, and he was still amazing, and the hall was full of applause, and the dancers and musicians of the troupe were compared!"

Hearing this, Yi Han secretly regretted it.

"Alas, it's a pity that it's autumn time, otherwise you will be able to see this grand occasion, when will it be next time."

This year, Ah Bao stayed in Yuezhou to accompany his son, who participated in the Autumn Festival for the first time, and also missed his grandfather's ninetieth birthday, and after the Autumn Festival, the big birthday passed, and the father and son were invited by other literati and artists to go on a tour of other places.

This will Yi Abao stroked his beard and smiled.

"Next time, it's estimated that your uncle will be 100 years old! When your uncle is 100 years old, no matter how unwilling he is, we have to hold a birthday banquet for him, and we can't prevaricate! ”

"A hundred years old. I haven't seen anyone live this long."

Yi Han secretly spoke, and when Yi Abao heard this, he immediately patted his son's head with his hand.

"Didn't you curse your uncle? Call you nonsense, call you nonsense! ”

"Wrong, Daddy, I was wrong!"

Yi Han begged for mercy again and again, and the family members who were driving the car in front of him were also very happy.

When the carriage returned to the door of the Yi Mansion in Xihe Village, the family had already shouted before they got out of the car.

"Young Master and Young Master Sun are back~~~"

"Little rabbit, your grandfather won't come back for his birthday!"

Yi Yong'an was the first to scold and come out, although he was scolding but his face was smiling, Yi Abao and Yi Han got out of the carriage and entered the courtyard, it was so lively inside, the dining hall couldn't be placed, and the dining table was placed in the living room.

There are dozens of people of all sizes in the Yi family's courtyard, some of whom used to be members of the Yi family, and now they have become ordinary farmers in Xihe Village, and they have also brought their families with them.

Yi Han rushed into the living room one step ahead of his father, and went straight to the direction of the two old men who were sitting there resting.

"Grandpa, uncle! You don't blame me for coming back late, do you? ”

"Alas! Don't blame it, don't blame it, the imperial examination is important! ”

Yi Baokang, who was leaning back in the chair, answered, and Yi Shuyuan nodded.

"I heard you did well?"

"Hehe, it's okay to be so-so, I'll go to my mother to say hello, and I'll talk about it later!"

Yi Han said a few words, and hurriedly went to the backyard to find his mother.

At the door of the living room, Yi Abao, who had a clear beard, also came back, and he also saluted and greeted.

Then there was the excitement of several female relatives such as the Lu family and the Li family, and there was a commotion in the Yi family's courtyard, and they returned to the busyness of preparing meals, and the two eldest brothers were still idle.

"Brother, in our family, in fact, Ah Bao is the most like you."

Yi Abao, who was outside the living room, couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he heard this, he didn't dare to compare with his uncle no matter what, and he didn't look much alike, that is, the blood relationship was just a little similar.

"yes, it seems that I still had a bit of style when I was younger."

Yi Abao has been teaching at Yuezhou Academy for many years, although he has not been in politics, his demeanor is gentle and elegant, and his appearance is not bad.

Hearing his brother's ridicule, Yi Baokang smiled, and had infinite emotion, as if he had returned to the day when his brother came back and saw his loved ones who were no longer crazy.

"Decades have passed in a blink of an eye, I didn't expect that I would live to be ninety years old, and the ninety old men in the entire Yuanjiang County can be counted on one hand, right?"

Yi Shuyuan also smiled.

This is indeed the case, and the younger sister-in-law Zhao is ten years younger than her younger brother Baokang, which is already a rare high life.

"yes, aren't there two of them here!"

"Hahaha"

Hearing the laughter of the two old people in the living room, the Yi family is all happy, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, the Yi family is several treasures, although sometimes it is very stubborn, sometimes it has a bad temper, but who can not respect it?

Yi Shuyuan looked at the brother beside him, at this moment he had memories in his mind, and he also had synaesthesia about the past.

Many years ago, Yi Shuyuan went crazy, and his family exhausted everything in order to treat him, and then Yi's father also died of depression.

Yi Baokang is not very old, not only to take care of his mother, who is also sick, but also to take care of his crazy brother, even if he is getting older and older, but the matchmaker in ten miles and eight towns is frowning when he hears his name, and it is not easy to marry a daughter-in-law.

It seems that at this moment, Yibaokang is also thinking about the past, but it doesn't seem to be thinking about his parents and brothers anymore.

The Zhao family is eighty years old, but there is still some black hair on his head, which will come in with dishes, place utensils on the table, and his movements are still sharp, and he will look back at the Yi brothers from time to time.

Yi Baokang sat up a little straighter in his chair and suddenly spoke.

"Lady, I've worked hard for you for so many years!"

Hearing this, an octogenarian lady blushed slightly, this dead old man, he has rarely said such things for decades, and turned around and scolded with a smile.

"That's not it, then I was also deceived by the matchmaker, and I believed your Yi Baokang's honest and willing nonsense, who knew that it would be so bitter to come to the Yi family! But fortunately, the bitterness has come to an end, uncle, you say yes."

"Hahaha"

Yi Shuyuan and Yi Baokang both laughed.

Of course, the Zhao family has long been relieved now, and looking back, this life is also delicious.

The reunion dinner on the winter solstice was heartily eaten, and the two brothers, who were over 90 years old, drank a lot of wine today, and their families wanted to persuade them to be scolded back by Yi Baokang, so that people should not be disappointed, and even Yi Shuyuan's persuasion did not work.

On this day, Yi Baokang was also drunk, muttering that he didn't want to leave, and sat at the table with his clothes covered by a rattan chair and slept soundly, while the Yi family was still enjoying the meal.

"Whew."

A gust of yin wind blew from outside Yi's house, but there was no chill in the house, as if the spring breeze was coming in advance.

Yi Shuyuan sat at the top with a wine glass, and next to him was the drunk Yi Baokang, and the joy of the Yi family around him seemed to be far away.

A team of yin cha stood quietly at the table and did not dare to make any moves, and after a long time, the night parade in front of them whispered.

"Immortal Venerable, the time has come for Yi Baokang."

Born in the sound of joy and passed away surrounded by family, isn't it a kind of happiness.

Yi Shuyuan nodded, and the night patrol on the side breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and hooked his finger forward.

"Yibaokang, your time has come, please come with us!"

Yi Baokang sat up with his eyes squinted as if he had just woken up, sat up after a moment's pause, and then slowly stood up again, he looked around, and it took a while to understand what was going on.

"May you, may you let me stay for a while?"

There is no door in this kind of request for other places, but there is naturally no word in this yin.

"Naturally, you can, but not for too long!"

"Alas!"

Yi Baokang didn't do anything excessive, he just stood in the hall and watched for a while, Yi Shuyuan was just holding a wine glass in a daze at the moment, as if he couldn't see the ghost.

"That's it!"

As he said before the meal, Yibaokang is also very satisfied, and he feels more painless.

"Please!"

Yin Cha stretched out his hand, and then walked out of the living room step by step with Yi Baokang.

In the front yard of the house, a mink stood up on its hind legs, watched the team leave, and couldn't help but whisper.

"Baokang, let's go"

People have their own ambitions and pursuits, some people pursue immortality, some people just want to be happy, some people ask for it but can't, and some people seek it but feel uncomfortable.

The immortal road also has an end, but it is just a long time, mortals have a short life, it may not be vigorous, and this vigor does not necessarily need to be happy and enmity or even fight for the country!

"Uncle Uncle, why are you crying?"

The noise in the hall paused slightly, and they all looked at the eldest master, Yi Shuyuan's expression was slightly in a trance, but he subconsciously stretched out his hand, and a tear just fell from the corner of his eye to the palm of his hand.

Unconsciously, Yi Shuyuan felt the catastrophe of the winter solstice, maybe it had already begun, maybe if Yi Shuyuan didn't come back all these years, or didn't return until he felt it recently, this catastrophe would be a catastrophe in his heart!

It's just that Yi Shuyuan at this moment doesn't care about these anymore.

Recalling his brother's life in his heart, Yi Shuyuan just looked at Yi Baokang beside him, ordinary greatness is also greatness, this is "The Biography of Yi Baokang".

And at this moment, the Yi family gradually realized something.
