Chapter 43: A Parting Message
Early in the morning
Ye Qing, who had been on this Wangquan Peak for more than two days, saw that Lin Yifan's affairs had been properly arranged, and when he went up the mountain, he only took one day off to Zhao Yiping, and now it has been almost three days, and he didn't dare to stay any longer.
When Ye Qing and the others came out of the kitchen and came to the hall, they didn't know why Xuan Xuozi, who was still sitting in the hall just now, where was he still half a figure now......
In desperation, Ye Qing followed Lin Yifan and Li Xinmei, and came out of the hall again, just in time to see Xue Zilin coming in from outside the courtyard, Li Xinmei hurriedly asked, "Brother Xue, have you ever seen the ancestor?"
"Master?...... Didn't I see him resting in the hall after breakfast just now, I just went back to the plum garden......"
"Oh, that's right...... Brother Xue, why are you going back to the Plum Garden this morning?" Li Xinmei greeted and asked.
"Xinmei, that's it...... Didn't Uncle Yunyang ask me to transplant the plum for him before? Isn't this just free now, so I went to do it for him...... Oh yes, do you have something to do with your ancestors?" Xue Zilin entered the dam and looked at a few people and asked.
"That's right...... That Qing'er is ready to go down the mountain and go back to Jingzhai Hall......"
"I'm waiting for a few days, don't worry...... Lao Zhao turned around and said......" Xue Zilin comforted.
As soon as Lin Yifan heard Xue Zilin's words, he quickly echoed: "Yes, yes...... Masters...... You're just staying for a few days, Brother Xue will intercede with you?"
"Yifan......" Ye Qing wanted to blame Lin Yifan for being a little not sensible, but he felt that Lin Yifan was now older, and it was not good to blame him more in front of people, so he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and turned to Xue Zilin and said:
"Brother Xue, no need...... That's not good enough. I'm saying that you see that Yifan has been settled now, and I still want to go back to Jingzhai Hall first."
Xue Zilin saw that Ye Qing was desperate, and his wife and his wife were not the masters of this Wangquan Peak, so it was really inconvenient to keep more: "Okay...... Qing'er, since that's the case, you should go down the mountain first...... Go back to the ancestor's side, and we'll tell you ......"
Ye Qing thought about it, and there was no other way, so he responded: "That's okay...... Brother Xue, sister-in-law...... I'll go down the mountain first......"
"In that case, then you should be careful along the way...... Xinmei, you and Yifan will send Qing'er...... The ancestor also explained something yesterday...... I'll go and do it first......" Xue Zilin instructed the two of them.
"Hmm...... Good...... Let's go, Qing'er, we'll send you ......," Li Xinmei said.
"No...... Sister-in-law...... Go ahead and get busy......"
"There's nothing going on on this mountain...... Let's go......"
After the two of them were polite, Li Xinmei and Lin Yifan accompanied Ye Qing out of the hospital. Outside of the firewood, Lin Yifan was still a little reluctant to see Ye Qing, who was about to go down the mountain.
"Senior sister...... Can't you really stay with me for two more days?"
"Yifan...... You should be sensible now, you see that now that you have worshiped the master, you have to follow the master to practice well...... People don't owe us two siblings...... So don't let people worry about it all the time...... You know what?"
Although Ye Qing understood Lin Yifan's thoughts at a young age, she also understood that it was no longer the same as in the past, so on this parting occasion, she was admonishing.
"Senior sister...... I know...... I'm sending you ......."
"No need...... It's not a parting of life and death, hurry up and go back with your sister-in-law, didn't the ancestor let you practice with Brother Xue today?"
"But...... But ......" Lin Yifan wanted to say something, but Ye Qing quickly interrupted him: "No, but...... I'll come and see you when I'm free, so go back quickly......"
Ye Qing said yes, and turned to Li Xinmei and said, "Sister-in-law...... I'll go first......"
Somehow, Li Xinmei looked at Ye Qing, who was so persistent and stubborn, and felt inexplicably sad: "Qing'er...... Beware of a person on the road......"
"I know, sister-in-law...... Yifan, hurry up and accompany your sister-in-law back...... I'm gone......"
After Ye Qing said goodbye to the two, he glanced at Lin Yifan, who was reluctant, then turned around and stepped back on the quiet path that went down the mountain.
"Alas......" With the somewhat helpless sigh in Li Xinmei's heart, Ye Qing, who was light-footed, had already faded away, and finally disappeared into the quiet path in Wangquan Peak......
Ye Qing's figure was gone, Lin Yifan was a little reluctant to accompany Li Xinmei and folded back, the two had just stepped into the hospital, Xue Zilin was carrying a small bamboo basket and a small hoe, and walked out of the house......
"Xin Mei...... Qing'er ...... It's ...... go down the mountain," Xue Zilin asked as he walked towards the two.
Li Xinmei nodded and said, "Well, yes...... Go down the mountain, Brother Xue...... Where are you going?"
"Oh, that's the case, yesterday the ancestor told me, today I will go to this Wangquanfeng Mountain to pick a few medicinal herbs, I see that I happen to be free today, so I will go to do this first......"
"Brother Xue...... Take me, I want to go too?" Before Li Xinmei could respond, Lin Yifan spoke.
"Well, okay, if you want to go, come with me......"
"Okay...... Sister-in-law, then I went to Ha ...... with Brother Xue."
"Well, there you go...... It's not easy to walk in the mountains, so be careful yourself. ”
"Hmm,...... I know ......."
When the two of them were discharged from the hospital, Li Xinmei, who had already stepped into the hall, seemed to suddenly think of something, so she turned back to Xue Zilin outside the hospital: "Brother Xue...... You wait a minute......"
Hearing this, Xue Zilin saw that Li Xinmei seemed to have something to explain, so he stopped and asked, "Xinmei...... Do you have anything else to explain?"
"Brother Xue...... Then you come back first, I'll tell you something."
Xue Zilin, who had arrived outside the hospital, saw that Li Xinmei seemed to have forgotten to explain something important, so he turned to Lin Yifan and ordered: "Yifan...... You wait for me first...... I'll go and see if your sister-in-law has anything else to explain......"
"Hmm...... Okay, Brother Xue......"
"Xin Mei...... What's wrong......" Xue Zilin came to Li Xinmei and asked.
"Brother Xue is like this......" Li Xinmei thought for a while, and then continued: "Brother Xue, look: I can't say anything about Yifan on the side just now, you also know the situation of Miss Qing'er......"
"Isn't there going to be a palace test in this sect? I'm thinking, according to Qing'er's temperament, if he discovers the secret of his body at that time, I'm afraid what to do if I can't bear the blow...... I think: Don't you have more opportunities to walk around in front of your master than me?"
"When do you see when you have the opportunity, ask the ancestor...... Look at Qing'er's body, is there a better way for him...... If there is no ...... I think it's better to persuade her to give up sooner...... Otherwise......"
Li Xinmei really didn't dare to say any more, Xue Zilin heard this, thought for a moment, and felt that what Li Xinmei said did make some sense, so he nodded and responded: "Okay, Xinmei I know...... When my ancestor comes back, I will find a chance to say it......"
"Okay...... Then you can go......"
"Uh-huh...... I'm gone......"
After the two of them discussed, Xue Zilin was discharged from the hospital again and took Lin Yifan to the mountains.
The mountains and forests in winter, although they still have the green of summer, are less vibrant, so the mountains and fields are full of cold and lonely meaning.
On that quiet and long path, Ye Qing's thin figure was hurrying along, as if she didn't dare to stop for a moment, and there were already some beads of sweat on her slender willow eyebrows......
"Qing'er girl...... Stay ......"
Suddenly, a deep and long voice sounded behind Ye Qing, and after the words fell, a figure suddenly appeared behind Ye Qing.
Hearing this, Ye Qing turned around in surprise and looked at the figure behind him. I saw that the figure that suddenly appeared was the peak master of Wangquan Peak, Xuan Xuozi.
"Master...... You...... Why are you here......"
"Qing'er girl...... In the future, I will call Uncle Shi according to the rank of that little cub!"
"Master...... This...... That's a bit of a rule, isn't it?"
Ye Qing felt that she was just a registered disciple of this Immortal Cloud Sect, and it was also her honor to follow Xue Zilin's seniority to call her ancestor.
In addition, the seniority of Xuanxuzi is so high in this Xianyun Sect, and now if he changes his name to Uncle Shi according to Lin Yifan's seniority, it will be a little chilling. Therefore, Ye Qing was a little apprehensive......
"There's nothing out of place here...... That's it," Xuan Xuzi said indifferently.
"That'...... Then the disciple thanked the master...... I don't love my uncle......"
"Well, Miss Qing'er...... Get up and talk......"
"Yes...... Division...... Uncle Shi Ye Qing waited for Xuan Xuzi's approval, then straightened up, tried to calm down the somewhat apprehensive mood, and then asked the doubts in his heart: "Disciple is brave...... Ignorance...... I don't know the teacher...... Did you come here to give me any advice?"
"Hehehe......"
Xuan Xuozi held his hands and looked at Ye Qing, who was a little nervous in front of him, and chuckled, then said slowly:
"That's right, Miss Qing'er, I wanted to talk to you on the mountain for the past two days, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity...... So now I have come here to say a few words to you......"
"Uncle Shi...... I don't know what to advise......"
"Miss Qing'er, I came here this time, but I can't talk about advice...... It's just that although the old man can't talk about it in this life, he knows astronomy and geography, but he has a certain amount of research on the gossip of the five elements and the appearance of Mai. Therefore, after today's dinner, I asked for a hexagram for you according to the girl's face, so I came to give you a few words......"
Although Ye Qing didn't know much about the five elements gossip and physiognomy in Xuan Xuozi's mouth, she also knew that as Xuan Xuozi's identity, he was not the kind of warlock who played tricks on Xuan Xuan and cheated people out of money, so when she heard this, she also asked very seriously:
"Division...... Uncle Shi ...... But you say it's okay......"
Seeing that Ye Qing was so serious, Xuan Xuozi opened his mouth and said:
"Miss Qing'er, I must be a person of great fortune when I look at your face, however, you are destined to have many ups and downs and hardships in this life...... Although I can observe one or two things about your life situation, everything depends on you...... Got it?"
"Disciple understand......s," Ye Qing replied respectfully.
Xuan Xuozi looked at Ye Qing, who was so restrained, and continued to say slowly: "Miss Qing'er, all laws and all phases start from a fateful word, now you and I have a fate, so you don't have to be too formalistic in the future, if a cultivator loses his nature due to worldly etiquette, then his achievement must not be high."
"In my mind to see you, the opposite of that little cub, you are not like him, you are very diligent and persistent in the path of cultivation, but this path of cultivation, too much attachment is not a good thing......
"Always remember that the saying that God rewards diligence is true, but the essence of these four words lies in the word diligence rather than the word reward......"
"If you have been entangled in the reward and less than diligence, it will definitely outweigh the losses, therefore, I have a passage from the Buddhist "Six Ancestors Altar Sutra", you have to carefully understand the ......"
Hearing this, Ye Qing saw that Xuan Xuozi said so cautiously, so he also said very cautiously: "The disciple respectfully asks the master to ask for advice......
"These few words are: Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where is the dust......"
"Uncle Shi...... What do these words mean, the disciple is stupid and really doesn't understand......" Ye Qing was very puzzled.
"When you reach a certain level of cultivation, you will understand the deep meaning... I went to ......"
"It's the ancestor, the disciple ......"
Before Ye Qing's words were finished, Xuan Xuozi's figure was long gone. Only one inexplicable sentence was left and came from afar:
"The golden phoenix perches on the branches of extraordinary birds, who has no difficulties and ups and downs, guards the clouds to see the sun and the moon, and dances in the sky. ”
Listening to that inexplicable sentence, after Ye Qing looked around, he couldn't help but feel envious for a while in his heart without the figure of Xuan Xuzi: "If I Ye Qing has such a cultivation in the future, I'm afraid it will not be in vain in this life."
However, Ye Qing, who had just had this thought, then thought about his inexplicable body, and could only smile bitterly: "Thinking about my firefly light, and also thinking about the light of the sun and the moon is a little ridiculous!"
After fixing his complicated thoughts, Ye Qing took a lotus step and walked in the direction of the Immortal Cloud Sect!
