Chapter 446: Moonlight Guest
......
Mr. Dongfang has gone home! To repair the house and entertain guests and friends, the whole Dongfang Mansion will inevitably have to be busy for several days. He is getting older, and the things that are ushered in can only be done by the younger generations. Even so, the old man was so tired that he had forgotten about the dust ranger. Lin Yi was so happy, after being led to the guest room by his subordinates, he went out once in the middle of the night, and then hid in the house without showing his head, looking like a hermit.
Lin Yi's residence is a small cross-courtyard near the gate of the front yard. The courtyard is a little messy, and there are grass that has not yet been cleared up through the floor tiles, and there is a bit of wild fun walking on it. He had been sitting alone on the couch in the room, rarely setting foot outside the door, but at this moment he got up and walked out.
"Lin Gongzi ......" At dusk, there was a beautiful person standing in the courtyard, but Dongfang Yan looked a little apologetic. Lin Yi greeted with a smile and signaled, "Dongfang girl, please say something!"
took two steps forward, and fell silently, Dongfang Yan bowed, and said: "The mansion has been entangled in everything for several days, but it has been slow to treat distinguished guests. For this reason, my grandfather prepared a family banquet and invited Lin Gongzi!"
"Oh!" Lin Yi sighed, revealing his thoughts. He walked two steps in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, stopped and turned around and said, "Because of hospitality, dare to disobey?"
......
At the time of the lantern, under the flower hall in the backyard of the Oriental family, four people sat around a square table. Mr. Dongfang, who was sitting on the main seat, looked a little haggard, but his interest was good. Lin Yi sat on his hand, opposite Dongfang Yan, and next to him was Dongfang Shuo, who was diligently persuading wine.
After three rounds of wine, Lin Yi held his glass and said: "Wandering here, thanks to the hospitality of the house, I have been disturbed for many days!
Seeing that Lin Yili was thoughtful for a few weeks, and was not the perverse person he originally imagined, Mr. Dongfang bowed slightly, and said with a beard: "Xiaoyou is the benefactor of my Oriental family, don't dare to toast, drink it together!" He raised his glass to signal that the other party did not need to see outside. The latter still drank it all and fulfilled the courtesy.
"Alas!" Xu was touched by something, Mr. Dongfang sighed, and said to Lin Yi with kindness: "Parents are here, don't travel far, there must be a way to travel." You're wandering around at a young age......"
"Thank you for the old man's teachings!" Lin Yi bowed his head to thank him, then smiled indifferently, and said softly: "I am alone, and I have no worries......" He said very casually, but it made Dongfang Yan on the opposite side slightly stunned, and his expression was gloomy.
"It's the old man who is abrupt!" said Mr. Dongfang, "My grandchildren are also fatherless and motherless......"
Dongfang Wenzhi only had one son, but he died of illness a few years ago, and soon after, his daughter-in-law also passed away, leaving only the three grandchildren of the Dongfang family.
As the saying goes, there are four major sorrows in life, for the loss of a mother when you were young, the lack of a good teacher, the loss of a wife in middle age, and the loss of a child in old age. And Mr. Dongfang is the third of the four, but fortunately, there are few good teachers, so he has learned something and embarked on a career. After a busy life, now guarding his two grandsons, he only thinks that Dongfang Shuo can start a family and start a business, and add Ding Ding to the Dongfang family, so that the bloodline can continue.
This is the old man's heart disease, and when he invited Lin Yi to the banquet, he couldn't help but pick up this conversation again, so that Dongfang Shuo on the wine table pinched the wine glass and hung his head, without saying a word.
"Alas, the old man wanted to return to his hometown to live in his old age, but my grandson was obsessed with the fairy way and did not repent. In the past, wouldn't my Dongfang family be extinct?What kind of face do I have to go to see my ancestors and ancestors?" Mr. Dongfang became more and more angry, and slapped the table, so frightened that Dongfang Shuo had to cover his face with a wine glass, but he stretched out his foot and motioned for Lin Yi to speak and persuade him.
Lin Yi pretended to be unknown, picked up the wine jug and poured a full cup for Mr. Dongfang, and then sighed to him: "Where are there any immortals in this world? Could it be that those who know some means are immortals? If so, isn't Lin Xiaoyou an immortal?"
"Didn't the old gentleman's ancestors have ever been immortals?" interjected very casually, Lin raised the wine in the cup, signaled to Dongfang Shuo, and drank it all by himself.
"What kind of immortal is he? If he is alone and suffers his family, don't want such an immortal......" Mr. Dongfang's words were full of resentment, which made Lin Yi slightly stunned. Seeing that Dongfang Shuo's brothers and sisters were all secretive, he became more and more curious about it.
Feeling speechless, Mr. Dongfang stared at Lin Yi with his beard in his hands, with a somewhat suspicious look in his eyes. But the other party raised his eyebrows, turned to the yard and curled the corners of his mouth, and smiled faintly. He was stunned and was about to ask, when an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard-
"What's wrong with immortals? With clouds and cranes as their companions, they can be free between heaven and earth, isn't it wonderful!"
It is the middle of autumn now, the moon is like a wash, the courtyard is bright in all directions, and a figure can be clearly seen walking slowly. Mr. Dongfang and Dongfang Yan were stunned, Dongfang Shuojing stood up and said in a lost voice: "Isn't this Yi Xianchang?"
Lin Yi was the only one in front of the wine table, his expression remained unchanged, and while playing with the wine glass in his hand, he silently looked at the comer with a faint smile.
There were not many people in the Dongfang Mansion, and the maidservant avoided it after sending the wine and food. Therefore, at this time, only the four people at the wine table and this inexplicable figure are looking at each other.
The visitor stopped in front of the flower hall, this is a man in a Taoist robe, thirty or forty years old, short beard and fine eyes, white and delicate face, looking extraordinary.
"Ah, if it's really the Immortal Chief's arrival...... Dongfang Shuo exclaimed, and then asked puzzledly, "How did the Immortal Elder come here?"
Seeing his grandson so out of shape, Mr. Dongfang couldn't help but feel displeased, got up slowly, and arched his hand and said, "When the old man Dongfang heard this, he dared to ask, what did this Taoist master mean by coming uninvited?"
The person who came wiped his short beard, looked around very casually, and then smiled, and said, "Poor Dao Yilu, I have seen this old gentleman." I heard that there is a inherited immortal family practice in the house, so I came to ask for it, just to read it!"
"Hmph!" With a flick of the sleeves of his robe, Mr. Dongfang sat down, his face sank, but he straightened up and reprimanded: "It's ridiculous! Don't send it!"
As the saying goes, dwelling and moving qi and nourishing the body. Mr. Dongfang has been an official for a long time, even if he has become a flat-headed commoner, he has his own momentum. He undoubtedly refused the guest in a cold voice, which made the visitor's face stiffen and angry.
"Dongfang Shuo, I believed your words, so Baba followed. You can't let me go back empty-handed, can you?" The middle-aged man named Yi Lu turned cold as he spoke.
"Ah......?" Dongfang Shuo was stunned on the spot, then understood, waved his hand again and again and said: "It was just a joke that day, how can the immortal chief take it seriously? On the next day, I will come to the door to make amends, and I will ask the immortal elders to ...... a lot."
"Playing poor is tantamount to offending Tianwei!" Yi Lu sneered, and actually paced in front of the flower hall, shaking his head and sighing: "According to my secret visit, the ancestor of your Dongfang family is really a person who cultivates immortals. Therefore, I will not return empty-handed today. ”
Turning around, Yi Lu snorted at Dongfang Shuo, and threatened: "Do you obediently offer the exercises with both hands, or do I dig three feet into the ground with my hands?"
"How can the immortal chief deceive each other like this...... Dongfang Shuo was shocked, is this still the otherworldly immortal chief? Is this still the same person who once drank and talked happily? At this time, he regretted that he didn't know people, but he was afraid. I have seen the other party's supernatural powers, that is the method of the immortal family!
"It's really verbose!" Xu was impatient, and Yi Lu actually bent his fingers and popped out a fireball and flew straight towards a small tree in the yard. There was a slight explosion of "boom-", and the small tree that was more than one person tall burned to ashes in an instant. Clapping his hands very proudly, he turned to sneer at the three of his grandparents and grandchildren who were shocked: "Don't toast and not eat, eat and punish wine!
