Chapter 154: The Road Is Narrow
Standing on the shore of the spring rain, slowly putting down the paper umbrella in his hand, Lin Yi's eyes faded.
For a long time, Lin Yi always thought that he was different from mortals, and he wanted to be an immortal. The seven emotions and six desires of mortals have nothing to do with themselves.
Now, Lin Yi stared blankly at the painting boat in the rain, and a trace of bitterness appeared in his heart. Only then did he realize that he was not different from mortals, he was originally an ordinary man. The reason why there are no mortal troubles is because they have not yet encountered them on the long journey.
There are still many unknowns in this world, which will easily disturb his mind, make him feel nostalgic and stunned!
The path of cultivation is difficult to ascend to the sky, or the power of fake pills, it is a fluke, but Hongchen perception is the only way to peek into the way of heaven.
The suffering of mortals' seven emotions and the trap of six desires, he Lin Yi can't escape it, and he can't escape it. Just like the rainy season in front of us, only by walking through it can we step into the next season.
Lin Yili stood in the rain, gathered the mana of his whole body, and let the rain slide across his face and soak his clothes. After a long time, he whispered to the scholar who was kneeling on the ground: "Brother Han, please get up!"
His body was wet, soaked in water, and under the unbearable cold, the scholar shivered. After hearing this, he said in surprise: "You are willing to help me!"
The young man in front of him was not as old as himself, although his bearing was extraordinary, his clothes were extremely ordinary, and he knew at a glance that he was not a rich and noble person. And Han Shengru grabbed a water weed before he was dying, and he wishfully thought that the young man in front of him could help him.
Lin Yi did not promise. Walking alone in this red dust, like a passerby. But now he knows that there are also his footprints in this red dust.
As a passer-by in the red dust, at the same time, Lin Yi is also a leaf in the red dust and smoke waves.
Since he is in Hongchen, he will face it calmly. With an understanding of the heart, and without deceiving the world and the earth, he Lin Yi can leave unintentional, uninhibited, and dustless behind him.
Looking at the infatuated person in front of him, Lin Yi said in an easy-going tone: "It's good to talk when you get up!"
The scholar hurriedly said "um", and the surprise was nothing more than that, he hurriedly got up with his hands and feet, and his weak body seemed to have more strength.
"Get out of the way of Lao Tzu! Who is looking for death and life here, disturbing Lao Tzu's interest in vain!"
An arrogant voice suddenly sounded behind the two, making the coachman who was watching the excitement on the side tremble, and he nodded and smiled busily: "Childe, the little one is waiting here!"
"Little San, you don't have long eyes, you don't come to support your son-in-law, the emerald red meat cup is really intoxicating, I almost can't help it!"
The coachman called Xiao San bowed his waist and ran over smartly, waiting diligently. As soon as Lin heard the scolding, his expression moved, and he slowly turned around.
The man who kept shouting was a man in his early thirties, dressed in brocade, with a white complexion and a pair of dead fish eyes with a little impatience. He stared at the two people blocking the road in front of him, and was about to open his mouth to scold, when he saw Lin Yiyi, who turned around, his expression was stunned, he hurriedly rubbed his eyes, and opened his mouth wide:
"It's you ——!"
The two entourages behind the man also seemed to recognize Lin Yi, their faces changed abruptly, and they couldn't help but retreat under their feet.
Lin glanced at the other party, and was also a little surprised, and said, "I really can't think of it!
It's over, it's really him. The man turned around and wanted to run, but when he saw that the two entourages had already dodged first, he was so angry that he was about to open his mouth to scold, but the willow bank in front of him, as well as the red and green painting boat, made him come over suddenly.
This is the capital, what is he afraid of? What else is he going to run?
The man hid the shame in his heart, turned around with an embarrassed expression, and squeezed out a smile. He arched his hand at this unforgettable young man in his life and said, "It turns out that it is really Lin ...... Brother Lin! Forgive me for being clumsy, and I think I recognized the wrong person! Hehe, I don't know ...... Lin When will Brother Lin come to Beijing, where will he stay, and he will catch the wine for his brother or for his brother, hehe, you say yes or no!"
The man's gaze wandered, and the young man in front of him was no different from more than a year ago, except that he was a little taller, and his eyebrows were clearer. How could he forget this young man who had suffered for him? He thought that he had recognized the wrong person, and who would have thought that the other party would also recognize him. Today is really a narrow road.
Lin Yi also recognized this person. When he accompanied his uncle and Cui'er to Tianping Town to sell medicine, it was this person who bullied his uncle and plundered Cui'er, and he taught him a lesson.
This person is the brother of Li Zhenshou, who is called Li Gongzi. Unexpectedly, thousands of miles away, he could meet such a former enemy in the capital, which made Lin Yi deeply feel that the world is impermanent. The past has come to an end, and Li Gongzi in front of him is not an enemy, so there is no need to worry about it.
The two startled entourages were Li Gongzi's two accomplices, one with a round face and one with a long face, and I vaguely remembered that the two were called Li Er and Li Si respectively. Lin Yi thought about it, looked back at Han Sheng with a blank face, and chuckled: "What a coincidence! I passed through the capital with the sect, and now I am staying in the Siping Pavilion, Brother Li is polite, but it is not necessary to catch the wind, it is not bad to find a place to have a cup of tea, and it is not bad to catch up with the old days!"
Li Gongzi's ears are good, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that this former country boy was quite extraordinary, with an incredible martial arts, and he was a rumored strange person. I can make friends with him.,Don't mention the shameful things in the past.。
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Li Gongzi said in surprise: "Brother Lin's sect must not be simple, and the Siping Pavilion is not something that can be lived in if you have money. You and my brother don't know each other, so according to your brother's wishes, let's go have a cup of tea!
The talkative coachman Xiaosan, who didn't expect this young man to be an old acquaintance of his son-in-law, happily invited Lin Yi to get in the car.
As soon as Lin returned to Han Sheng, he explained a few words, and then said goodbye to him.
Han Sheng stared at Lin Yi earnestly, turning back in three steps, and arching his hand in five steps.
Seeing that Han Sheng had no thoughts of suicide, Lin Yi got into the carriage and sat down with Li Gongzi in a secluded teahouse.
Li Gongzi sent Li Er and Li Si to other places and invited Lin Yi to have tea.
The house was very quiet in front of him, and Lin Yi was not polite, he picked up the tea cup and drank it all.
Li Gongzi smiled bitterly, and hurriedly added water to the empty lamp. This dragon before the rain is worth a lot of money, ordinary people can't afford to drink it at all, even the rich son is also a small sip, the picture is elegant, where is like Lin Yi like a cow drink, Sven sweeps the floor. He thought about it but didn't dare to show it on his face, so he could only let go of the mustard in his heart and talk and laugh with each other.
Li Gongzi was originally from the capital, and his father served in the army, and when it came to Li Gongzi's generation, only his eldest brother was a little promising, serving as a town guard in the frontier.
And Li Gongzi himself, with the help of his father and brother Mengyou, eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and does not do business. The family was also helpless, so he let him travel to the frontier. Who knew that he was going all the way to the scourge, and with the protection of his father and brother's prestige in the army, no one dared to do anything to him, but he didn't expect Bian Zhen Tianping, but he was taught a lesson by Lin Yi, and then driven back by his eldest brother.
After returning to the capital, Li Gongzi really repented for a while, but the Qinglou Restaurant inevitably came and went often, and he didn't expect to meet the former enemy today. However, he also knew Lin Yi's identity, and sure enough, this country boy really had a background, and he was actually a disciple of the Tianlong Sect.
The Tianlong faction is the first sect in the world, and there is no one who dances knives and guns without knowing it. Lin Yi came to the capital and lived in Siping Pavilion, which ordinary people dare not ask. Li Gongzi secretly thought that instead of offending this person, it was better to try his best to make friends.
And Lin Yi also learned some things from Li Gongzi's mouth that the people in the rivers and lakes did not know. The rumors above the temple cannot reach far, but at the foot of this imperial city, it is known to women and children. The collapse of the first emperor, the prince's seizure of the heir, the dispute between the court, and the current situation of King Ping, etc., it is rare for Li Gongzi to have someone who can let him show off his eloquence, and he is endless.
Today's emperor admires the art of family life, and the royal family has a thousand-year-old inheritance, these are not secrets in the capital, no need for Lin Yi to ask carefully, Li Gongzi knows everything, and he can only sit honestly and drink tea, it is difficult to interject.
Li Gongzi naturally couldn't forget to brag about his trip to the painting boat, and also told Lin Yi that he was good friends with the two of them, and he would invite him to drink and meet him another day.
This painting boat has an official background, and the women in it cannot be redeemed, unless the emperor gives amnesty, otherwise they can only stay until they are old and yellow, lonely but remnant. Of course, if a rich and powerful family falls in love with any girl, and is willing to spend money secretly, they can also hide from the world, cut their lowly status, and accept them as concubines.
It's just a rich and noble family, just for temporary pleasure, and no one really cares about these hard-working girls.
A lot of money is spent on these girls, and for them, it is just a temporary act of buying a fortune and flaunting their vassal elegance. The so-called talented and beautiful women are nothing more than things in the script, and they are the conjectures in the hearts of the grass people, and no one believes in them if they are rich.
"Brother Li has ever heard of the incident between the girl who is like smoke and that Han Sheng?" Lin Yi listened silently, and interjected at the right time.
