Chapter 5 Turning Back Before Leaving
When Lin Xi, who returned home, closed the doors and windows, took out the ancient jade from his pocket, and looked at it. I don't know why this time Lin Xi felt that this ancient jade was just a little old, and it didn't have the kind of magical powers that disturbed people's minds at the beginning, and it was no different from other jade pendants.
What is going on? Lin Xi tried to use the technique of Kanyu to observe the aura around him, but the result was the same as when he was in the old man's house, and he still couldn't see it.
The things in the Qingwu Sutra, when Master Yang was still there, Lin Xi was almost finished, but the rest still needed to be slowly understood by himself.
There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book.
However, Lin Xi has read the Qingwu Sutra for so long, and has found a lot of good things, but Yan Ruyu and the Golden House have never seen it.
The turquoise ancient jade does not have the wonderful appearance of the past, and if it is placed on the street, it may not even be as good as the most ordinary jade pendant.
That's fine, otherwise everyone will be disturbed by it when they look at Gu Yu, how will Lin Xi explain it? Ordinary people Lin Xi is not afraid, he is afraid of those prominent big families, if someone sees the clues, it may not lead to a killing disaster!
Although Lin Xi has never left the town since he was a child, he still hears others talk about killing people and seizing treasures in the outside world. Besides, it is indispensable to guard against others. This world is like this, if you are weak, others can bully you, and when you are strong, others will respect you, the same truth in ancient and modern times!
Therefore, Lin Xi is not good, he must be cautious everywhere, and he must not make a mistake! This is the weak, the person who survives in the cracks, the pathetic person, and the person who is not treated by this world. If you want to change that, you have to be strong.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi secretly decided that he must find a way to heal himself after going out, he didn't want to disappear into this world ordinarily, at least he should fight in the world once to prove that he had come!
Lin Xi tied Gu Yu to his trouser belt and put on a new dress that he had been reluctant to wear. Hey, it's true that people rely on clothes. The current Lin Xi looks like an elegant young man under the backdrop of ancient jade, and wearing white clothes makes people feel more cordial. If the mirror in Lin Xi's house was big enough, he also noticed that he was also quite handsome.
Lin Xi counted the clothes one by one, Gu Yu, "Qingwu Jing", and Master Yang's family letter. These are must-haves, and they are also to be taken very carefully, each of which is important to Lin Xi. Money is not a big worry for Lin Xi now, because almost everything was left to Lin Xi with Master Yang's acquiescence after Master Yang left.
This old mansion Lin Xi will not be replaced, although it is a little dilapidated, but after all, this is the home of their Lin family for several generations, which is of great significance.
I don't know if it's Lin Xi's dressing appropriately today, or it's a sudden interest. He found the pen and ink that he almost didn't usually use, and scribbled a few big characters on a piece of yellow paper: the old house of the Lin family. Then it was pasted on the door of the inner room, and it was really good.
After doing everything, Lin Xi walked out of the old house, looked back and saw that the old house was still quite big, and laughed at himself: "It's still the old nest, it's reluctant." "It is not necessary that Lin Xi's letter has been delivered, and he may come back after he has been cured. At that time, I may have lived here for the rest of my life. No, a man has the ambition to go everywhere, and if he doesn't make a name for himself, how can he be worthy of a man in this life.
Lin Xi left the old mansion and came to Master Yang's door, and he took out the key that Master Yang left for him to open this long-lost door. After Master Yang left, Lin Xi never came again, because Lin Xi didn't want to ruin the memories here, he wanted this place to always be the same as when he was a child here.
As soon as you open the door, you are greeted by a wave of dust that has been deposited for several years. Yawn! Yawn! Lin Xi sneezed twice in succession. It's not like someone is talking about him behind his back.
A few years later, the room is still the same, simple and comfortable. At that time, Master Yang always sat in a rocking chair and commanded Lin Xi to do this and that, and at that time, Lin Xi felt that he was not his apprentice, but a stupid boy who was tricked into doing chores for him for free.
Sometimes it was the scorching summer when Lin Xi was sweating and couldn't rest, and every time Lin Xi was about to complain, Master Yang didn't know where to bring a few sweet fruits. After finishing the work, Lin Xi took a bite of the fruit, and the cold juice passed through his throat, which was called a refreshing ......
It's a pity that there is no going back, the things are still there, and the people are gone. It's long gone, it's just dead things. Lin Xi's heart was sour, and his face showed indescribable bitterness.
Then Lin Xi cleaned the house seriously, sat on the chair that Master Yang often sat on, and fell asleep after a while......
The peach blossoms in the garden are purple and red, like the morning glow after a sunset, which makes people feel refreshed and happy. In the depths of the peach orchard, there is a study school, where the sound of reading aloud is pleasant. Could this be the academy of scholars? Then a man put down the book in his hand and walked towards Lin Xi.
He was dressed in a white brocade robe, with a simple hosta on his head, jet-black black hair pouring down, strands scattered over his shoulders, his eyes were like stars, under the bridge of his nose, his lips were as bright as snow cherries, and the lines on his face were extremely perfect. is really a beautiful man who is rare in a thousand years.
The clouds are light and the wind is light, extremely elegant, and he comes with a smile, just like an immortal! Lin Xi lowered his head and did not dare to look at it from a distance and blasphemed, but he still couldn't help but look over, and Lin Xi found that the ancient jade was actually in the hands of that immortal!
Lin Xi didn't know how long he slept again, and when he got up, his head was groggy, and he patted his head a few times, and then he eased up.
However, the time did not pass long, just now Lin Xi cleaned up in the house, the water on the table had not dried up, and the dream just now really made him a little confused.
Who was that person, and where was that academy? It's just that the person gave people a very close look, and even the flowers and plants around him naturally moved closer to him.
"You just fell asleep again?"
Lin Xi said: "No, it's just that I'm too tired and close my eyes for a while." ”
"I'm still reluctant to be here. ”
Lin Xi ignored him, walked out of the door, and closed it gently.
Some of my own things were learned here, and I grew up here when I was a child, so how can I be willing to give up? Lin Xi looked at this place and lost his mind, everything here is the same as he only came here, and it has not changed for several years.
Although the boy never said it, he had already acquiesced in the boy's heart that this was his home and Master Yang was his relative.
Before leaving, Lin Xi thought left and right, and felt that it was still not possible to go like this, so he came to the only storyteller in the town and found a more remote place to sit down.
In fact, there is no such thing as a partial, because there are almost no people in this place, except for the older generation who have no ability to work in front of them, where will the rest of the young people come to listen to this? It is better to have more time to think of ways to make money.
But today Lin Xi has time to listen, in the past, every time the storyteller talked about the wonderful part, Lin Xi never heard it, because Master Yang was going to tell himself to be busy again.
In the compound, a teenager sat in the last seat, dressed appropriately, quietly listening to the storyteller's story, and this time he could listen to the whole story.
When it was time for the end of the show, everyone went home and went their own way, and the storyteller stepped down and asked Lin Xi, "Xiao Linzi, how is the story I told?"
Lin Xi smiled: "It's very good. ”
Mr. Storyteller was very satisfied with this unexpected answer, and smiled: "Xiaolinzi, don't fool me, just these stories back and forth, no matter how good they sound, you can't keep listening to them." ”
Mr. Storyteller has been telling some stories here for more than ten years, this teahouse was opened by his son, but his son has long left the town and rarely comes back to visit him, anyway, Lin Xi has never seen his son.
Maybe it's because the old man's daily life is too boring, and he often thinks about some strange things, and when there are many tea drinkers, he moves out to talk about it, and he is happy, and others are happy.
"Xiao Linzi, I know why you have come the most often. The storyteller said suddenly.
"When the story has no ending, everyone is willing to listen to me and listen to me, but once I finish listening to the story, it becomes boring again, so ah, old man, I like you a little bit. ”
Lin Xi reacted and asked, "Grandpa Yu?"
The storyteller nodded.
The old man is not stupid, he has always been just a simple teenager, and he is dressed so decently today, is he not going to leave or what?
Once the story is over, what can you do if you don't leave?
"Grandpa Yu, take care. Lin Xi said, how does this old man treat himself? Every time he tells a story, he will take a small bench that no one sits on and come out, just hoping that Lin Xi doesn't have to stand and listen when he comes.
Lin Xi knew that the old man was too lonely, alone at home, unaccompanied, telling stories every day, and it was still lively and lively here. Lin Xi also knew that in the old man's cabinet, he had prepared a few pieces of winter clothes, summer clothes, spring and autumn clothes, just hoping that his son would have clothes to wear when he came back.
The old man took out his old pipe, and every time he finished the story, he would take two puffs, saying that he could take it easy.
"Xiao Linzi, I have to come back more when I go out, maybe I was still there at that time. The old man took two sips, and spat out a circle of smoke that slowly rose.
Lin Xi said with a smile: "What did Grandpa Yu say, I just went out for a while, of course I want to come back, and I will come back to tell you a story when the time comes." ”
The old man took another sip, the expression on his face slowing slightly, "Then you have to bring some back, otherwise it won't be enough to listen." ”
"That's for sure. ”
After Lin Xi left, the old man took the small bench at the back back to his room, glanced at it, and then placed the small bench in the deepest part of the room.
Finally he walked alone to the window, and smoked the old pipe, which his son had left more than ten years ago.
It is said that a good man has ambitions in all directions, but what about after walking in all directions? The old man felt that it was time to come back.
At least take a bite to eat, and it's not bad to wear a piece of clothing and then go.
"Lin Xi, what's the matter? Do you have the leisure to come over today to listen to the story?" A well-dressed young man with a family heirloom jade on his waist walked over in front of him, and he still had a few books in his hand, and it was time to go home from class.
Lin Xi was very impressed by this young man who was about the same age as him, because this young man was very smart, but he always liked to go straight and never hide what he said.
He is Cheng Yi, and he is also the only young descendant of a large family in the town, when the old gentleman first came here, his father did everything possible to please the old gentleman, for fear that the old gentleman would not accept his children as students, and I heard those adults say that his father was eager to spend some money to build a small academy.
In the end, he was rejected by the old gentleman, but he still agreed to accept his son as a student, but only boys, not girls.
After he found out, he worshipped the Buddha and burned incense every day, and was cheated of a lot of money by those strange Taoists.
But it was worth it, and the lady fought and gave birth to a boy.
That day, the town was really lively, not for anything else, just to be happy.
It's just that in the end, the old gentleman took in a few other students in the town, but they were all boys, and the old gentleman didn't accept female students, and no one asked why.
"Cheng Yi, what did you teach today?" Lin Xi asked casually.
Cheng Yi thought for a long time, walked up to Lin Xi, and said, "Mr. asked us to think about what the word "sting" is, anyway, I thought about it for a while, and I didn't come up with anything. ”
Lin Xi sighed, changed the topic and said, "Cui Ming will ask you to take more care of it in the future." ”
"I'm really leaving, I don't think I heard it right that day. Cheng Yi said.
Lin Xi smiled: "You should change this habit, you speak too directly." ”
Cheng Yi said nonchalantly: "It's not directly up to what you think, but you should go, there's nothing good here, pay attention when you go out, don't lose your life halfway." ”
Lin Xi replied, "No, I have to wait for you to come out and find me." ”
Cheng Yi looked at Lin Xi, was silent for a while, put his arm around Lin Xi's shoulders and smiled, "How is it, before leaving?" He looked towards one of the most remote alleys.
Lin Xi understood and walked over with him.
However, Cheng Yi's books were left on a half-point, and the family heirloom jade that he carried around his waist was placed on it.
