Chapter 59 Kaichun returns to Wudang
Blue Valley knelt in front of the Wudang Mountain Gate for three days and three nights, but finally failed to enter the Wudang faction, and after the wind and snow, Blue Valley had already become a snowman.
It's another year to leave with regrets, in fact, Lan Gu has long been unwilling to return to the mountain and become a Wudang disciple again, and only hopes to repent and ask for forgiveness.
More accurately, I hope to get the forgiveness of the head of the prison that is, my master Zhengyangzi, who was not only disloyal and unrighteous in that year, but also ashamed of the master's nurturing and teachings, and failed to fulfill his filial piety by the master's side in the past twelve years.
Now that he is thirty-five years old, he has been down the mountain for twelve years, and the master is already old, so I don't know how his health is now.
With a sigh, Lan Gu reluctantly left Wudang.
There are some things that once you do something wrong, you can't undo it for a lifetime, maybe that's it.
When the Blue Valley went out of the range of Wudang Mountain and arrived in the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was another heavy snowfall, and the heavy snow blocked the entire mountain road.
If ordinary people want to go to Wudang Mountain to burn incense and pray for blessings, they can only wait for the beginning of spring in the coming year.
The winter solstice is coming, and the Spring Festival will be far away!
After leaving the range of Wudang Mountain, Blue Valley casually found a post station in the west of Dingzhou and stayed down, so that he had enough energy to rush back to Daqian Capital the next day.
But the next morning, when Blue Valley was just riding on his horse and about to leave, he ushered in a person that Blue Valley did not expect.
"Please stay!"
Lan Gu, who was about to get on the horse and leave, was stopped by a person behind him, Lan Gu was slightly puzzled, but he didn't remember any acquaintances in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and when he looked back, it turned out to be a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe, with a slightly familiar face.
I saw that the man came to Lan Gu in three or two steps, and saluted the Taoist chief and said, "Qing Miao has seen Senior Brother Qing Gu!"
Hearing what the man in the robe said, Lan Gu suddenly realized that he was a junior disciple of Qing Miao who was the same generation as him in the Wudang faction. Back then, he was also a relatively familiar brother, but twelve years passed in a hurry, and he almost couldn't recognize it.
"I have seen the Qing Miao Dao Chief, the senior brother does not dare to be, Lan Gu committed a big mistake back then, and he has already been expelled from the sect, and he does not dare to cross without the forgiveness of the sect and the master. Blue Valley hurriedly replied.
Qing Miao saw that Lan Gu did not use the Taoist Ji Shou Ceremony, but a more elegant ceremony in the rivers and lakes, and did not call himself a senior brother, so he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Senior Brother Qinggu was also a well-known person of the younger generation in Wudang Mountain, but he ended up like this because of impulse. Although he was expelled from the school, his heart was always the same, and the uncle of the prison really accepted a good apprentice.
And in the past twelve years, although Senior Brother Qinggu's confession has not been recognized and accepted by the uncle of the Gate and the Prison Academy, his repentance is clear to the entire Wudang.
Of course, what exactly is this, which is also the reason why Qing Miao went down the mountain.
Qing Miao sighed slightly, "Senior Brother Qinggu doesn't need to blame himself, this time Senior Brother went down the mountain to tell Senior Brother." ”
"I don't know what is the matter with Daoist Qing Miao?" Lan Gu looked at the direction of Wudang Mountain, very puzzled, I don't know what it is, after the heavy snow closed the mountain, there were still disciples coming down the mountain.
It stands to reason that every year Wudang Mountain will prepare enough food for the winter before the heavy snow closes the mountain, unless there is a major event, otherwise there will be disciples who will not go down the mountain again after the spring of the next year.
Although Qing Miao had already prepared to face Lan Gu's inquiry, he didn't know how to speak at this time, and kept looking in the direction of Wudang, as if he couldn't say anything.
Blue Valley had a faint bad premonition, but he didn't know where it was.
"Please also ask Daoist Qing Miao to speak bluntly, and continue to rush in the future. Lan Gu said with a slight frown.
Qing Miao hesitated for a long time before he said: "Senior Brother Qinggu doesn't need to meet with his junior brother, the head of the sect has forgiven you for your mistakes back then, and you have been re-included in the disciple genealogy of Wudang Mountain." ”
When Lan Gu heard Qing Miao's words, he seriously reminisced about it, and happily grabbed Qing Miao's shoulder and shouted, "Senior Brother Qing Miao, are you telling the truth?
Lan Gu shook Qing Miao's shoulders excitedly, he really couldn't believe that what he heard with his ears was true.
After twelve years of repentance, Blue Valley, who originally felt that there was no hope anymore, suddenly heard such exciting news, and couldn't help but be very excited.
It was as if everyone was looking for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back at the lamplight.
"It's true, senior brother, you heard it right. ”
Qing Miao nodded heavily, such a good thing Qing Miao should also be happy for Blue Valley, but it seems that there is still something on his mind.
After a while, Lan Gu finally calmed down his excitement, patted Qing Miao's shoulder and said, "I thought something was wrong, then why didn't you say it for a long time! ”
Qing Miao's face looked extremely unnatural and said, "Uncle Prison Guard, he ...... He ......"
Seeing that Qing Miao couldn't say anything for a long time, Lan Gu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I went up the mountain to see the master by myself, I haven't seen him for twelve years, and I don't know how the master is doing." ”
said that Blue Valley was going to Wudang Mountain, and at this time, it didn't matter if the heavy snow closed the mountain.
Qing Miao grabbed the Blue Valley who was about to leave, and couldn't help crying anymore, "Senior brother, the master of the prison has already ascended to heaven. ”
This sentence was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the blue valley was frozen in place, stunned like a wooden chicken, and almost couldn't come back and stumbled two steps.
Lan Gu's eyes were red, his eyes were like copper bells, and he grabbed Qing Miao's shirt and said loudly, "What do you say, say it again." ”
The cultivation of the Liangyi Realm, the snow on the ground that was directly shaken was gone.
Qing Miao said with a crying voice: "Senior brother, the senior uncle of the prison has ascended to the sky, and he passed away suddenly last night. ”
After getting Qing Miao's definite answer, Lan Gu slowly let go of his hands, his eyes were blank, he slowly shook his head, and couldn't help but shed tears when he looked in the direction of Wudang.
Great sorrow is silent, great pain is silent, maybe that's it.
As if he remembered something again, Lan Gu hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face and asked, "Senior Brother Qingmiao, it's true that you just said that I was restored to my status as a disciple of Wudang. ”
Hearing this, Qing Miao couldn't stop nodding with tears in her eyes and said, "Yes, junior brother doesn't dare to deceive senior brother, let alone fake the intention of the master." ”
"Okay, let's go, let's go back to the mountain quickly, and we can see the master for the last time, and give him a ride to the old man's house. Lan Gu hurriedly pulled Qing Miao and said.
Qing Miao grabbed Lan Gu, who was full of hope, and shook his head and said, "Senior brother, you can't go, Uncle Prison won't let you send him." ”
"Why, Master, still refuses to forgive me?" Lan Gu muttered in a low voice, full of grief, how could he never imagine that his master would not even die by himself, and refused to forgive himself.
Qing Miao hurriedly supported the crumbling Blue Valley, and hurriedly said, "No, senior brother, you misunderstood. ”
"Then why is this? Master has only been an apprentice of mine all his life, although I have made a big mistake, but I also sincerely regret it, why didn't I even let him give his old man a ride in the end?" Lan Gu asked very puzzled.
Qing Miao also sighed slightly and said: "Actually, the head of the sect has long stopped holding you accountable for your mistakes, and thinks that since you can learn the 'Extreme Three Swords', it is also fateful. And you have sincerely repented over the years, and all the disciples of Wudang have seen it in their eyes.
However, Uncle Prison has always insisted that you can't return to the door, because Uncle Prison thinks that he has taught you badly and failed to fulfill the duties of a prison to cause this.
Although Uncle Prison said this, everyone knows that Master Prison has forgiven you a long time ago, as can be seen from the fact that Uncle Prison did not abolish your cultivation at the risk of being punished.
However, Uncle Prison does not make the slightest concession on your return to Wudang Mountain every year, even if he feels distressed when he sees you kneeling outside the mountain gate every year, he has never wavered.
All the disciples, uncles, and heads of Wudang Mountain can see from the uncles of the prison that they are reluctant to keep you, but they just don't understand why they don't let you return to the identity of a disciple of Wudang Mountain.
It wasn't until last night when Uncle Prison couldn't hold on anymore that everyone knew. The master of the prison begged the head of the prison to let you resume his status as a disciple of Wudang after his death, but the head of the prison had already agreed, but the uncle of the prison refused to do so.
Uncle Jian said that he has been a disciple of Wudang for a lifetime, and the only thing he is sorry for Wudang is that he has taught such a bold disciple, and he has not fulfilled his duties as a prison and is ashamed of Wudang;
Uncle Jian said that every year when I see you kneeling under the mountain gate, I only feel distressed, and I want you to come back but can't. Because as a prison officer, you must uphold the precepts, and I really hope that you hate Wudang Mountain, instead of coming back to repent as always, so that the prison uncle will not have to be so uncomfortable.
In the end, Uncle Prison also said that Blue Valley couldn't send it after he died, because he was sorry for you. However, when it is buried in the ground, it can be worshiped in the blue clear valley in the spring of the next year. ”
Qing Miao sniffled, wiped away her tears, and said, "When Uncle Prison died, what he said was all about you, and only after he finished speaking, did he close his eyes with peace of mind. ”
After listening to what Qing Miao said, Lan Gu slowly knelt down in the direction of Wudang Mountain, and kowtowed four times.
"Master, the disciple listens to your words this time, let you go with peace of mind, and when the spring of the next year is over, you will definitely go to your grave to worship, and the unfilial apprentice Lan Qinggu is here to see you off. ”
Lan Gu knelt on the ground and his tears did not dry up, and he said to Qing Miao in a low voice: "Senior Brother Qing Miao, you should go back to the mountain quickly! Give the master a ride for me, and say that the apprentice Lan Qinggu knows that he is wrong, please let the master go, and Lan Qinggu will use his life to guard Wudang Mountain in the future." ”
"Okay!" Qing Miao nodded and said: "The head of the family also asked me to bring a message to you, senior brother, and then go back to Wudang in the spring of next year, don't stay at the foot of the mountain, go back where you come from." ”
"The disciple obeys the master's order!" Lan Gu received the order, and then asked Qing Miao to go back to the mountain first, and he would go back one day after saying goodbye to the master here, in order to fulfill the filial piety of the apprentice.
After that, Qing Miao stepped on the snow and disappeared into the vast sea of snow.
Blue Valley has also been kneeling towards Wudang, and after a day and a night, he resolutely got up and left this place, galloping towards the Grand Canyon of the Yinshan Mountain Range, which connects the Northern Wei Dynasty and Daqian.
The world is impermanent, everything in the world is like this, there are gains and losses, how can anything be as good as people's hearts.
For Zhengyangzi, Yu Gong is not wrong, and Yu Private is indeed indebted to Blue Valley.
On the contrary, for Blue Valley, it also suffered the price of the mistakes made back then.
Blue Valley also sincerely admits his mistakes and repents, otherwise why would he have repented for twelve years and never given up.
Someone once said that if you don't forget, there will be an echo, and where there is a lamp, there will naturally be people.
