Chapter 33: Mr. Su
The early summer nights are quiet and tranquil. Another round of silver hooks hooked the sky, covering the small mountain village with a layer of clear light.
Lin Yi sat quietly in the side room of the old mansion, like a clay statue, still and still. But his heart was agitated like a storm, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Today, in front of my father's grave, my mind was lost, and as the master said in the early years, my Dao heart was shaken. At a young age, I suddenly became tired of this red dust road, and I was at a loss for the path of cultivation. And this Mr. Su is just the first time he saw it, so he was concise and concise, and this time he was well-intentioned, obviously to warn himself.
At the beginning, lest this Mr. Su see through his identity and not know his original intention, Lin Yi's heart was a little panicked, and he was also a little wary.
And this Mr. Su is alone, living here. Even if he is cautious, he also feels the kindness of the other party.
Mr. Su's words were like a slap in the face. If we don't continue on this path, we never know what the final outcome will be. Since God has sent down this opportunity, what reason do you have to give up? No matter how far you go, only perseverance, even if there is no result, is more wonderful than the old mountain village. Presumably, my father and mother will know underground and will bless themselves.
Lin Yichang is so big, no one has ever told him these truths. When he was confused, Mr. Su's words were like an enlightenment, which made people's hearts suddenly brighten.
He felt more grateful and admired for Mr. Su in his heart.
Lin Yi, who had a clear mind, surged with a layer of white light on his body, drowning himself in groups. In the flashing light, the spiritual platform is clear.
The heavens and the earth became clear......
......
The morning in the mountain village is refreshing. The top of the mountain in the distance has been smeared with a layer of gold by the morning sun.
The diligent people in the mountains have been busy early for their livelihood.
At the intersection of the village, you can occasionally see hurried figures coming and going.
Under the big tree, Mr. Su was surrounded by several children in front of him.
Lin Yi sat alone and listened to Mr. Su explain the words for several children.
Mr. Su ignored Lin Yi.
Lin Yi didn't think so, so he sat quietly for two hours.
Mr. Su smiled and watched the children disperse.
Lin got up, came to Mr. Su, gave a deep salute, and said, "Thank you, Mr. for your advice!"
Mr. Su held his long beard in his hand, his eyes flashed, and he smiled: "The child can be taught! How about going to the old man's residence to sit for a while?"
Lin Yi replied softly: "So I want it!"
Mr. Su nodded, and his clear face was more leisurely under the sun. He walked slowly towards a hut not far away.
Not far from the entrance of the village, a circle of fences and green vines are entwined, and the two grass houses are simple and simple.
Mr. Su took Lin Yi through a few clusters of green courtyards and came to the thatched house. He smiled and invited the guests to feel free.
In front of him is a small bedroom, a bamboo couch is placed in the north, and a few in front of the south window, on a bamboo chair, Mr. Su sits comfortably.
There are two layers of books on the shelves, bamboo slips, silk books, and paper books. The Burrow is full of scholarly fragrance and elegance.
Lin Yi sat on the bamboo couch with a relaxed appearance.
Mr. Su bowed slightly when he saw this. Although this son is dressed as a country boy, he has a different bearing from ordinary people, and his demeanor is calm and generous. No matter where he is, he is inadvertently ignored and despised by people, and when he observes carefully, he will find that this young man, consciously or unconsciously, has become one with everything around him.
This boy is truly extraordinary!
After all, after decades of wandering in the officialdom market, Mr. Su boasts that he has read countless people and knows people quite accurately. But this country boy has a very unusual perception, and he has an inexplicable appreciation for Lin Yi in his heart.
When Mr. Su was walking around, it was difficult to approach when he saw Lin Yi mourning and crying in front of his grave. The latter was in front of his father's grave, distracted, and neglected everything around him. When he saw that Lin Yi was sad, there seemed to be a decadence between his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but wake up. Unexpectedly, overnight, the kid who was on the verge of sinking yesterday has returned to normalcy.
This son's mind is higher than ordinary people, which is gratifying, and Mr. Su has a high opinion of this young man.
"The old man has lived here for six years. The hustle and bustle of the mountains and wilderness is gone, and the day is idle. Listen to a few birds singing melodiously and watch a cloud light. The old man has spent his whole life, and in the end, he is also looking for a pure land, and he wants to be leisurely and happy!hehe!" Mr. Su said.
"Sir is so knowledgeable, let Xiao Yi admire!" Lin Yi said.
"When people reach their twilight years, their hands are empty, and they know that everything is relaxed, and when they hold their hands, they must let go, and they should also let go!" Mr. Su suddenly smiled.
"Where is Sir's hometown, why did you fall here?" Lin Yi asked with some curiosity.
Mr. Su sat on a bamboo chair, but his back was also straight, like a mountain. Hearing Lin Yi ask about the past, his eyes showed astringency, and then he smiled with relief.
"The past is unbearable! Hometown, peace of mind is hometown!" Mr. Su's hoarse voice rose slowly, as if he had stepped through dozens of years.
This Mr. Su's original name was Su Yingming, and he became famous when he was young and became an official in the court. Because of his upright temperament and lack of understanding of his intentions, officialdom has always been unhappy. Later, because he offended the powerful, the whole family suffered. Fortunately, he was quite famous among the scholars, so he was banished from the frontier and saved his life. The lady fell ill due to misfortune and died soon after, and the whereabouts of her only daughter are unknown.
Deeply grateful for the ill-fated Mr. Su, Lin Yi could only remain silent and listen to the other party slowly tell the past.
"The old man is middle-aged and has a daughter, and he regards it as a palm bead, but he didn't expect that his whereabouts are unknown because of the old man's involvement. The old man also asked people to look for him in many ways, but so far to no avail. If Yun'er is still here, she should be as old as Xiaoyiβββ!" Mr. Su sighed.
This Mr. Su has sideburns like frost, and his face is as old as if he is sixty or seventy years old. In fact, he is only in his early fifties, and the hardships and hardships can be seen!
"I don't know where Xiao Yi came from before? It's a blessing to find a loved one now!" Seeing that Lin Yi was also depressed, Mr. Su's tone changed and asked gently.
"I practiced with Master in Xuanyuan Temple. After the death of Master Xian, I kept filial piety in the mountains for three years, and I found it according to the instructions of his old man before his death. Lin Yi said. There's not much to say about the past. What can be said, but cannot be said.
"What are your plans for the future?" asked Mr. Su.
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, and said in a firm tone: "Fortunately, Mr. has taught me! Xiao Yi wants to travel around." β
Mr. Su pondered for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Lin Yi and said, "The old man has something to ask for, I wonder if Xiao Yi can agree?"
"I don't know what Mr. entrusts, whatever Xiao Yi can do, he will not refuse!" Xiao Yi replied.
Mr. Su stretched out his rugged hands, holding a half-moon-shaped jade pendant. His eyes were full of warmth, and he said slowly: "This jade jade pendant was originally a pair, and there is also one on my daughter's body. This was only left by her mother. If Xiao Yi is lucky enough to see my daughter, this jade pendant should be a token. I also hope to pass on a message to my hard-working daughter, the old man is fine here, so that she doesn't have to worry about it!"
Looking at Mr. Su's eager expression, Lin Yi hurriedly got up, but he didn't know what to do! He wanted to push back, but he couldn't bear it, and he wanted to take the jade pendant and was afraid that he would have a heavy trust.
When he hesitated, he glanced at Mr. Su's expectant and trusting gaze, Lin Yi's heart softened, and he took over Mr. Su's only concern in his later years!
Mr. Su smiled. He didn't know if his daughter was still in this world, but he pinned all his hopes on the young man in front of him. I have reached the twilight of my life, and I can't wait long.
Perhaps, there are miracles in this world!
Mr. Su stood up and patted Lin Yi's shoulder gently, and then he turned around and took out a silk book from the shelf.
Lin Yi put away the jade pendant, and with a little puzzlement, he took the silk book in Mr. Su's hand. He also knew a few ancient words on the book, and he was surprised in his heart, and blurted out: "Huh-forging gods?"
Mr. Su was slightly stunned and asked, "Xiao Yi also knows this handwriting?"
Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "My master is a cultivator, and everything he taught me is this kind of writing. This kind of font and today's font are just from complex to simple, could it be that there are fewer people who know this font nowadays?"
"Xiao Yi has a point. This font is ancient, and not many people know it today. The old man also learned one or two of them under the guidance of his friends. Mr. Su's eyes flickered, and he kept looking Lin up and down.
Being stared at in a panic, Lin Yi hurriedly said: "I don't know ...... this thing"
"This is a gift from a friend of the old man's window! My friend's surname is Wei and his name is Daren. That friend likes ancient books since he was a child, is good at practice, and is very obsessed with the way to become an immortal. This book was obtained by chance when he left, and he left the old man to Save it. My friend said that this thing can still bless future generations. Speaking of this, Mr. Su shook his head and smiled, and then said: "This thing may be useful to Xiaoyi."
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows lightly and gently opened the thin booklet. Just for a moment, he was shocked, and then secretly happy, after taking the booklet into his arms, he bowed deeply, and asked, "I don't know where Mr. and his friend have gone?"
"The old man's friend heard that there was a fairy island overseas, so he gave up his fame and future and took a boat to the east!" Mr. Su sighed slightly.
"Sir's friend has ascended to the Immortal Dao?" Lin Yi asked.
"The old man doesn't know. It's just that after the old man's friend studied the way of cultivation, his demeanor is natural, and his charm is elegant but very abnormal. It's not that I've been with him for many years, and I can't notice this, maybe this is also because of cultivation?" Mr. Su pondered. His eyes lit up, he stared at Lin Yi and said, "Just like Xiao Yi, even if he is in old clothes, he has an indescribable charm on his body!"
Lin Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I have been cultivating with my master for many years, and there is nothing surprising about it. By the way, Mr. Su, is there really a fairy island in the depths of the East China Sea?
"Although there are records in the classics, there is no trace, and the East China Sea does not know tens of thousands of miles, it is difficult!" Mr. Su shook his head and sighed: "Even if the old man's friend said goodbye many years ago, there has been no news so far!"
"Does that gentleman believe that there are immortals in this world?" Finally, there is a person who can speak, Lin Yi, who has been holding back for a long time, hopes to learn more from the talented and knowledgeable Mr. Su.
"The ancients are cloudy, and the scholars are silent, and the strange power ......is confused," Mr. Su shook his head. Lin Yi thought that this was the case, but unexpectedly, Mr. Su said again: "Old man believes!"
Lin Yi looked at Mr. Su with some confusion.
"If there are no gods and ghosts in this world, no yin and yang reincarnation, and no karma, how many regrets will be left in your life! Isn't it even comparable to the weeds in the long world!" Mr. Su finished speaking, his face was gloomy and meaningful.
I didn't expect Mr. Su to answer like this. Think about it, the weeds on the ridge can still regenerate in the spring, and if people don't have the past and this life, they are not even as good as the weeds!
If there is an afterlife, can everything continue?
Lin Yi couldn't help but fall into deep thought......
