Chapter 492: Sacrifice
I, Lin Yi, also have descendants? Such a large family is the descendant of my Lin Yi! After listening to Tianfu's brief description, Lin Yi's mind was agitated, and he got up and bowed to Cui'er.
"Big brother, what is this doing? You are wandering around, and my sister has the responsibility of keeping the house. Fortunately, I finally handed over this family to you personally......" After the first few sentences, there was a sense of complaining, and later, Cui'er covered her face with her hands and sobbed.
"Let's get up!" said loudly, Lin Yi walked slowly to Cui'er's side, took her hand and turned to face everyone, and said in a deep voice: "I, Lin Yi, left home as a young man, and it has been seventy-eight years in the blink of an eye. After countless ups and downs, I have gone through life and death many times, and what I will never forget is this homeland! Here is my family, here is the family affection that I can't let go! I am a cultivator, destined to stay away from the hustle and bustle, destined to be lonely and escape from the world, and destined to have regrets that cannot be found in the ordinary. And you wait for my Lin family incense, the whole of my son of filial piety, I Lin feel inexplicable. Please bow down to me!"
After saying that, regardless of everyone's astonishment, Lin Yi solemnly saluted the descendants below! Cui'er helped her eldest brother with tears in her eyes, and Tianfu bowed down with her master.
For a while, inside and outside the house, there was a sigh. Less, the ceremony is over. Lin Yi put his hands behind his back and said in a loud voice: "Since I am the descendant of my Lin family, I will be the protector and wait for a thousand years of peace!"
......
In any case, the head of the Lin Mansion has returned. After a busy time, it is inevitable that some juniors will question my grandfather's too young appearance, but it is just a sentence from my grandmother, my eldest brother is an immortal!
At the family banquet that received the wind, Cui'er and Tianfu accompanied her, and the four grandchildren of the Lin family toasted diligently, making Lin Yi look a little like the head of the family. The four grandchildren are called Lin Ping, Lin An, Lin Ru, and Lin Yi, and their names are simple and easy to remember without metaphor. Praying for the safety of the Lin family should be the wish of my grandmother.
The toast did not refuse, and when it rose, Lin Yi grabbed out more than a dozen wine jars with his hands, and the four grandsons were shocked to widen their eyes, and when they admired their grandfather's methods, they covered the small wine glasses in their hands one by one, and their faces were bitter. Until the end, there was only one person at the table who was drinking and laughing......
......
In the backyard of the Lin Mansion, two quiet rooms were set aside for Lin Yi and Tianfu to live in, but the pair of masters and apprentices were not idle.
In the next two days, Lin Cui'er's disciples and grandchildren came to visit. and her husband's family, which is also the descendant of the Tu family next door, will inevitably come to see her grandmother's mother's family. For a while, the Lin Mansion was very lively. And the head of the Lin family said so many words and drank so much wine for the first time in his life......
On the third day of Lin Yi's homecoming, a large group of people from the Lin Mansion were taken to the Lin family ancestral hall by Lin Cuier, and then came to the Lin family's cemetery.
When worshipping his father, Lin Yi was no longer alone. When he led his descendants to bow, his heart was less desolate than before, and more relieved than he had ever been. Many children and grandchildren have made the Lin family have incense to continue. At that moment, he seemed to have completed the reincarnation of his life, and the invisible shackles were slowly shattering, and his mind suddenly became inexplicably relaxed.
After working for half a day, the juniors dispersed on their own. And Tianfu had the elixir given by the master, so he used the excuse to go back to meditate. Only the brother and sister were left in the garden.
Today's Xiaotianao is not the same as in the past, the Lin family not only has a magnificent ancestral hall, but also this cemetery is surrounded by pines and cypresses, quiet and solemn. And so on, all of this came from the hands of that little girl back then!
Looking at the silver-haired Cui'er in front of him, Lin Yi said softly: "Over the years, the girl has worked hard......"
Seeing that the eldest brother had been silent alone for a long time, but he said such a sentence, Cui'er showed a rare coquettishness, and complained: "Don't say something out of sight...... I'll take you to see Mr. Su!" she took Lin Yi's arm, and the two of them walked towards the west mountain of the small mountain pass.
On the mountain road, an old woman and a young man in a Taoist robe walked side by side. The old woman is in good spirits, and the young man is smiling easily.
Just like the scene when she went up the mountain to collect medicine with her eldest brother that year, Cui'er's face was filled with a comfortable smile. As if the girl was still a child, Lin Yi slowed down, just to listen to her......
This is the place where Cui'er practiced swordsmanship, and the withered yellow weeds shivered in the cold wind, showing the desolation of winter. On the cliff to the east, there are two graves lying quietly, not knowing whether they are looking down on the small col or looking into the distance.
"This is Mr. Su, that's Sister Su......" Pointing to the tombstone, Cui'er said: "Sister Su is both talented and beautiful! When she was alive, she was the best ...... with me."
Lin Yi walked to Mr. Su's grave and bowed down!
"Mr. Su, Xiaoyi has invited you to drink!" took out a jar of wine and spilled it. After that, he raised his head and poured the residual wine, and then he came to Su Xueyun's grave and gently spit out a mouthful of wine. Lin Cui'er said on the side: "Sister Su was ...... when she came back then."
Back then, when Su Xueyun found Xiaotianao to reunite with his father, he had a scene of mixed joy and sorrow. She didn't come alone, there was a man and a woman escorting her, it was the Che Hai couple from the Taiping Dart Bureau. It is said that when this woman came to Taiping Town alone, she found the Taiping Dart Bureau with the letter in her hand, and after Che Hai and his wife saw the letter, they personally escorted it to Xiaotianao without saying a word.
How a lone woman who looked like a fairy came all the way from the capital is unknown, and she herself has never mentioned it. However, Su Xueyun told his father that the life-saving benefactor was Lin Yi. Mr. Su was relieved and brought his daughter to the door to thank him. Cui'er's family was very happy, and since then the two have become closer and closer.
Lin Cuier was amazed by Su Xueyun's knowledge, and the latter also liked Lin Yi's sister. The two got along very well and became a pair of good sisters.
A few years later, Mr. Su died of illness, and Su Xueyun still lived in Xiaotianao. In addition to correlating with Lin Cuier, she lived a simple life and lived alone, and died without illness ten years later.
It was a rainy morning, and Su Xueyun was lying in his room. She looked serene, as if she were asleep, but she never woke up again.
Lin Cui'er said that there was an empty wooden box next to Sister Su's pillow, and two moon-shaped jade pendants hung under her neck, and what she was holding tightly in her palm was another jade pendant, with a few cracks faintly on it......
......
In the days after Lin Yi returned home, in front of the village courtyard of Xiaotianao and on the mountain path, in the morning and evening, there would be two more familiar figures.
Cui'er would take her brother's hand and tell the changes in the mountain village one by one, and tell everything that had happened. Lin Yi drank all day long, and he accompanied his sister to walk in the mountains and talk about what he had seen overseas. She would ask about the story of the immortals, and her brother said that there are people who can do magic in this world, but as for whether there are immortals, he has not yet found them!
When the winter solstice came this year, it snowed heavily in western Xinjiang. Lin Yi did not meditate or meditate in the ashram, but imitated the appearance of a layman, leaning on the stove and drinking warm wine. There will also be Tianfu on the side, or Lin Ping's brothers to accompany him. He rarely speaks, more often listens and smiles.
On this day, the sky is getting dark, and the snowflakes are drifting non-stop. After finishing the family worship of ancestors, the family banquet went through the motions, and Lin Yi returned to the quiet room in the backyard. Tianfu was worried about the mountain gate, and followed behind the master without speaking, looking hesitant. And at this moment, a green cloud fell into the courtyard, and a voice sounded-
"On the night of the winter solstice, there are old friends visiting, how can there be no wine!"
......
When Qingyun flew up again from the small heavenly col, there were three more people on it, Lin Yi, Tianfu and Lin Cui'er.
On the night of the winter solstice, Mu Qing'er came. She said: "Xuanyuan Temple is prosperous, and it is also a blessing to witness it in person!"
......
In the snowy winter night, you can see the sparks on the top of the immortals in the distance. When I flew closer, I saw that from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there were many disciples standing side by side with torches, and a fire dragon was connected on the stone steps, which was magnificent. And the Xuanyuan Temple is full of people and brightly lit.
Qingyun fell from the sky, and four figures appeared in the snow, alarming the Xuanyuan Temple in the solemnity. In the surprised eyes of everyone, Lin Yi walked into the main hall with the three people behind him. The anticipatory elders stepped forward to greet them, and Dohyung stepped forward to stand on the stone steps in front of the hall.
This Tianfu's eldest disciple has a long beard, bright eyes, and a majestic demeanor. He held his head high, used enough internal strength and shouted: "The Xuanyuan Temple Ancestor Worship Ceremony begins-"
