Chapter 30: Where is the homeland?
Sifang's father's surname is Liu Mingshuo, he was a three-grade official who left the dynasty, and later resigned and returned to his hometown when he was old and felt inconvenient, he was quite famous as an official over the years, and the emperor also kept it a few times when he resigned, and saw that he really didn't want to do it anymore, so he gave him a lot of treasures and let him enjoy his old age in peace. He returned to his hometown and became a famous gentleman in the county, only handling some industries, and there were people in his court, and no one dared to make things difficult, so the family became more and more prosperous.
His only regret is that he has no heirs, and then asked the master to help, only to have the Quartet this child, he got a son in old age, or the only son, so it is not precious, but then the Quartet fell, since then often haunted by evil ghosts, although he can resist with the heroic righteousness of his literati, but it is not a long-term solution, and then there is no way, and the master is invited to come, and the master is the master of Jinguang.
Master Jinguang Buddhism is profound, the Bodhisattva heart, but also the symptoms are not cured, can only come here once a year to cast the spell, for a long time, he has no complaints, the father of the Quartet is a little embarrassed, so he asked Master Jinguang to accept the Quartet as an apprentice, teach him the ability to protect himself, Master Jinguang calculated, and the Quartet just has a master-apprentice relationship, so he agreed, but the only condition is to stay in the temple to practice.
Although the parents of the Quartet were reluctant to have their children, for the sake of their children, they still reluctantly agreed, and only when the Chinese New Year was about to be taken home for a few days every year.
That night, Yune Edgeworth sent the Quartet back, and arrived at his house when it was about to dawn. When Liu Shuo saw his child rushing back overnight, he immediately took pity on him, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to cook on the fire, while he accompanied Yu Nie in the living room.
Liu Shuo is nearly seventy years old, but because he is well maintained, he looks like a person in his forties, and he does not look old at all. Yu Ne sent the Quartet back, and he naturally wanted to entertain him. The two of them talked about it in the living room.
"Dao Leader is saying that Master Jinguang is suffering, and there are demons who violate it?"
Quartet cried and cried to Liu Shuo about this matter, and then Yu Nie also explained, Liu Shuo listened and asked. Although Yu Nie looks young, he doesn't dare to underestimate any feelings, people in cultivation, there are many people whose age does not match their appearance, and he will not judge people by their appearance.
After Yu Ni finished speaking, he heard him ask, and then said, "Yes." โ
"What kind of demon dares to act like this? even Master Jinguang can't deal with it!" Liu Shuo lowered his head and thought for a while, not thinking of which way the demon did it.
Yu Nie shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I heard Uncle Shi say that it seems to be the remnant of the Yin Yang Soul Corpse Sect." โ
"But the old man has never heard of this name, it must have been a long time ago. โ
Although Liu Shuo has also been a big official, it has only been a thousand years since the founding of the country, and the cultivation sect often takes thousands of years as the historical unit, how can he know it.
"Yes, Uncle Shi said that this was a sect in the past, it acted ruthlessly, it was a demon sect, and then it was destroyed by public anger, and now it should be resurrected. โ
"Master Jinguang's Buddhism is profound, and the old man has always admired it, and I hope that he has his own natural appearance and can live in peace. โ
Liu Shuo said this, with a sincere expression on his face, he had a very close personal relationship with Master Jinguang, and his children were also accepted as disciples by Master Jinguang, and he was carefully taught, and Master Jinguang had a good reputation in the nearby area, and he could be regarded as a master of Taoism and protected the peace of the party, so I sincerely hoped that Master Jinguang would not have an accident.
Suddenly, there was a movement below, but Shifang lowered his head and sobbed.
Yu Ne asked with concern, "Shifang, what's wrong with you?"
"Master, master, his old man is gone. โ
Shifang cried as he spoke, his eyes couldn't hide the tears, and he flowed down, and he reached out and took out a jade plaque that was broken in two from his arms.
The jade was destroyed, Yu Nie knew in his heart, and mourned in silence, Uncle Shi left, he walked over and hugged Shifang to comfort.
Shifang cried loudly in his arms, no matter how precocious he was, no matter how strong he was, he was just a child, and as soon as Master Jinguang left, he would be alone.
Liu Shuo sighed in his heart, closed his eyes and said nothing, although he didn't understand the meaning of the jade plate, but he could guess what happened when he saw the situation.
The hall was silent for a while, and only the choked voices of the ten directions echoed.
After a long time, there was movement outside the house, but it was the family members who had prepared the meal and wanted to bring it up.
A table of good dishes, but a few people have no intention of tasting it, only Sizheng is ignorant, and when he returns home to see his relatives, he opens his mouth to eat when he is hungry.
I don't know how long it took, Shifang was tired, and he cried enough, so he lay on his stomach and sobbed softly.
Liu Shuo saw that Shifang was slowly calming down, so he said to him: "Shifang, but you and Sizheng are senior brothers, since your master is no longer there, it is better for you to stay in my house, and with Sizheng, I will accept you as a son and train you to become an adult." โ
Master Jinguang only has two disciples, one is his child, Liu Shuo owes Master Jinguang a lot of favors, and now that he is gone, he wants to leave Shifang behind and repay the favors he owes.
Shifang raised his head and said, "No, I won't stay here." โ
Sizheng was eating a mouthful of oil, and when he heard his senior brother's words, he immediately put down his food and whispered, "Senior brother, are you leaving?"
Shifang glanced at Sizheng, "Hmm." โ
Tears squeezed out of Sizheng's eyes, and he asked pitifully, "Senior brother, don't you want me?" He has lived in Jinguang Temple for several years, and the person who has the deepest relationship with him is not the strict master or his parents who can only see him once a year, but the senior brother who takes care of him and cares about him and plays with him.
He didn't want to be separated from his brother.
Shifang looked at Sizheng and said slowly: "No, how can it be, it's just that you have a family, it's good to be at home, I have to go out." โ
His eyes showed sadness, and he said slowly: "The master is gone, and I have no home, so what's the difference?"
Yu Ne was silent for a while, this kind of thing happened to the little Shifang, no less than the sky collapsing. He thought of himself, and so did he on the day the Mudao people left. He looked at Sizheng and looked at Shifang, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a home, but it seemed that he hadn't been back for too long, and he almost forgot about it.
Liu Shuo said: "Shifang, you don't have to worry, you stay here, this is your home." โ
Shi Fang shook his head and said resolutely: "No, I want to go out to practice and avenge my master." โ
His words were categorical, and his slightly immature voice was full of hatred, full of hatred for the person who had harmed his master.
"Ten ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
It's not a party, and no one is qualified to meddle in the other party's decision, because they haven't experienced the other party's affairs, and all the empty words of the light class are nonsense.
Liu Shuo is old and refined, thought for a while, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Shifang, you can practice here with me, when you are older, the old man can use his connections to recommend you to enter the Qin Tiansi, there are many cultivators there, and there are countless exercises for you to practice, and you can also learn to take revenge as soon as possible." โ
He didn't really want Shifang to enter the Qin Tiansi, and it wasn't a good place, he just wanted to appease Shifang, leave him behind, and wait for time to dilute the hatred, whether to go or stay is as he pleases.
Shifang rejected him again.
Sizheng rubbed his eyes, his eyes were slightly red, he looked at Shifang, and then looked at his father, he didn't want to be separated from Shifang, but when he thought of the outside world, Sizheng retreated, the outside world was too big, he didn't understand what was sinister, what was cruel, he only knew that it was still warm at home.
Shifang rejected Liu Shuo several times in a row, although Liu Shuo didn't think about it, but he wouldn't force it again, he looked at Yu Ni, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "I wonder if Daoist Yu has heard of Qin Tiansi?"
Yu Nie said: "I have heard a little, I have heard that the family teacher said that this Qin Tiansi is a major force in this dynasty, and there are many people in the same way. โ
Liu Shuo smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Qin Tiansi has been established since I left the dynasty and founded the country, specializing in recruiting cultivators, and its power is only under the emperor. โ
After he took a sip of tea from the teacup, he said slowly: "Yu Dao Chang has such a cultivation at a young age, the road ahead is bright, I don't know if I am willing to be worshiped by my departure from the court, the old man has some friendship with the people in the Qin Tiansi, if the Taoist is willing, I am willing to repair a book and recommend it to the Dao Chief." โ
Yu Nie smiled, understood what Liu Shuo meant, and said: "No need, I'm used to being free, but I don't want to be restrained." โ
Liu Shuo said: "Don't refuse, the Taoist doesn't have so many things, it's very free, it doesn't matter what the Taoist does on weekdays, you can also take a large amount of money every month to help you practice, we don't bother the people of the Qin Tiansi in general matters, only if there are demons and monsters, these ordinary people can't deal with the incident, will the Qin Tiansi be played, and then the people of the Qin Tiansi will solve this matter, and the average number of tasks throughout the year will not delay the cultivation time of the Taoist." โ
He spoke with a slightly sincere and urgent tone, as if he was hoping to convince Yu Ne to join the Qin Heavenly Division.
Yu Nie smiled faintly and refused: "No need, although I don't know how to join Qin Tiansi, but since my master and uncle have not joined before, I will forget it." โ
Liu Shuo had no choice but to give up, he was first rejected by Shifang, and now he was rejected by Yu Ni, and he was somewhat depressed in his heart, but he was quite deep in the city, and he would not show it, so he opened the topic and chatted for a while, most of them were the current situation of leaving the country, such as what demons were born, peasant uprisings, neighboring countries and other topics.
After talking for a while, Yu Ni got up and said, "I have sent Ling Lang back, so I will stay for a short time, and I will go back to Uncle Shi to have a look." โ
When he said this, Liu Shuo was inconvenient to keep it, and said: "Okay, the old man will also notify his friends and let the people of Qin Tiansi check it, and he will not let these demon people act recklessly." โ
Although he withdrew from the officialdom and returned to his hometown, he still cared about the people and left the dynasty, and did not want the evil people to do evil.
Yu Ne said, "That's very good. โ
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
He turned around and walked out of Liu's mansion, Shifang walked out with him, and Yu Ni said: "Shifang, let's go, go back to my heart." โ
Shifang shook his head and said, "No, senior brother, I plan to break into the outside by myself." โ
"If the master is gone, there will be no home, so where can I go?" Shifang looked at the sky in the distance and said in a low voice, "I plan to go from here, go to practice, and practice the master's exercises well." โ
No matter how Yu Nee persuaded him, Shifang was unwilling to go with him, and in the end, Yu Nee said that he could not move Shifang, so he had to agree to his plan. He told Shifang a few times, telling him to pay attention to safety and not to be reckless, Shifang first nodded again and again, and then suddenly walked away.
He didn't walk fast, his steps seemed heavy, but he still walked forward step by step, with his head down, like a down-and-out scholar, and Hane looked at him like this, watching him disappear from view, and then sighed softly, and flew in the other direction.
If the heart has no home, although the heaven and earth are great, there is no paradise anywhere!
