Chapter 105: The Immortal Passes Away
In the sixteenth year of Qikang, on the ninth day of the first month of Bingwu, Baihe Mountain. Zhou Shiya was sick for eight years and three months, and after a hundred days of unsuccessful hope for his grandson, he returned with a crane at the age of 70.
Dividing line
Last winter, Zhou Shiya's body was not as good as before, his body was emaciated, and his muscles and bones were uplifted. Because he was bent on seeing Zhou Yi, he relied on this thought in his heart until now.
At that time, Yu Guangling sat in Baihe Mountain, deterring those with ill intentions for him, so everything was safe and peaceful at the end of the year. However, Guangling saw that he was terminally ill, and he was afraid that time was running out, and after a few thoughts, he sent a letter to Kanto, in which he detailed Shiya's illness, hoping that Yuegu could come to see him for the last time, and he had a heart.
In the second half of the month, Zhou Tianyong and his entourage returned from Kanto, and the letter was sent to Baihe Mountain two days ago. After Zhou Shiya got the news, he ordered Zhou Xi to carry him to the Nanshan Gate and wait outside the mountain gate with everyone.
However, before the carriage and horse Haohao Tang arrived at the mountain gate, everyone came to greet Zhou Shiya one by one, but Zhou Yi was the only one. Shiya's face was pale and gray-haired, and he looked at the visitor with a sad expression, and asked with trembling lips: "Zhou ...... What about Zhou Yi?"
Everyone looked at each other, but no one answered.
Shi Ya suddenly glared angrily, and shouted with all his strength: "Where is my Zhou Yi child!"
Seeing that her master was so old, Yufu couldn't help but cry like rain, so she wiped her tears, and said to him with a smile: "Master, don't worry, that kid Yi'er is playful, went to a friend of his, and will be back in a few days." ”
Shiya was skeptical, but the angry application was still eased, and it was cold, so he drank a few sips of the cool breeze and couldn't stop coughing a few times.
Yun'er understood the pain of his longing, so she took Zhou Yan to visit him.
Zhou Yan kowtowed, and said a few words of "Master Tai" according to Yun'er's arrangement, Shiya learned that this was Zhou Yue's son, and suddenly his old eyes were full of tears, and his hands caressed his little face that was a little red from cold, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter, and said tremblingly: "Zhou Yan...... Good name! Like your father, just catch fire!" But when he thought that Zhou Yue was killed at the beginning, it was also due to his short temper, and he couldn't help but cry sadly. But fortunately, the Si people are gone, and there are still heirs, which can be regarded as God's mercy.
"Master Tai, you can recuperate in peace, Brother Zhou Yi will definitely come back in a few days, don't blame him, if it weren't for the uncle, he would definitely reprimand him!" Zhou Yan's eyes were clear, his eyes were clear and bright, and he was not stained with a trace of dirt, which made Shiya very happy.
At that moment, everyone went up the mountain one after another, and Zhou Yan followed Yun'er, frowning, and silent along the way. Yun'er asked him, and replied, "Sister Yun, I heard my mother-in-law say that Master Tai is my father's master, but why should we call Master Tai?"
Yun'er couldn't help laughing, took his hand and walked to a place where there were few people, and said, "When I was a child, Sister Yun also had such doubts, but at that time, my father told me to respect teachers, and I never asked them this question. Later, it was your brother Zhou Yi who told me that he had been puzzled for a long time, but he was eccentric, and the Tao gave me an answer. ”
"What answer?"
"Master Tai has practiced so far, and his disciples have spread all over the world, and even today's son calls him 'Taoist Master', so the younger generations of the rivers and lakes call him an immortal master. You and I are both after Baihe Mountain, so I will be called Master Tai. ”
Although Zhou Yan didn't understand, he still nodded, "Well, what Brother Yi said is right." ”
After Zhou Tianyong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, thinking that the reason why everyone likes Zhou Yi is probably the kind of innocence and childlike fun that he exudes in his bones.
was meditating, only to see Yu Guangling coming over, his face was sad and his heart was heavy.
Tian Yong asked, "Thanks to you these days, Baihe Mountain can be safe and sound. ”
Guangling shook his head and said: "It may not be safe and sound, Zhou Yi didn't come back, and the senior brother could have waited for him with this tone, but I saw that he loved Zhou Yan so much, and he also let go of this thought in his heart." I'm afraid he'......"
At this point, there is no need to say it explicitly, Zhou Tianrong frowned, not knowing what to do.
Guangling continued: "I have sent a letter to Kanto, and if she can come, she can also solve this matter of concern between the two of them. ”
Tian Yong nodded, "From here to Kanto, it will take a month and a half day and night, I'm afraid, he can't wait!"
Sure enough, within a few days, Shiya was bedridden and didn't eat tea and dinner. In the blink of an eye, Chinese New Year's Eve passed, and everyone had been by his side for several days, and there was no trace of Yuegu and Zhou Yi. Shiya was in a trance and gradually fell into a coma, but what he was shouting in his mouth was his Zhou Yi and Yuegu's names.
Zhou Ying was sad, so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he couldn't call Zhou Yi back immediately to reprimand him, so he also sent two teams of men and horses to the capital to find Zhou Yi.
However, after the fifth day of the new year, someone suddenly came to report from the mountain, saying that Yu Xi had come up to visit the mountain. When Guangling heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly went down the mountain.
As soon as they met, Yu Xi was teary-eyed and didn't speak, this kind of expression that only appeared in front of him after being wronged, Guangling naturally understood. However, this is not the time to greet her, she can come to Baihe Mountain, just to end a major event. Guangling then told Zhou Shiya's current situation, explained his thoughts, and asked Yu Xi to go to Kanto to pick up Yuegu. Yu Xi understood the righteousness and was unequivocal in this matter, asking, "How many days do you need me to come back?"
Guangling said: "The sooner the better!"
"Then I will bring Aunt Yue back in three days!"
Guangling's expression trembled slightly, seeing that she had not yet told her grievances, but in a blink of an eye, she became so tenacious, and her heart was really uncomfortable, so she smiled and instructed her, "Go early and return early, on the way...... Pay attention to your body, I haven't come back for a New Year's Day, and your father and I really miss you!"
The tip of Yu Xi's nose was sour, tears rolled straight in his eyes, he turned around and lay on his shoulder, and muttered: "When I come back, I won't go anywhere, I'll accompany you at home......"
Guangling shook his head and smiled: "My health is fine! When your business is done, it will not be too late to come back." I'm just, I'm just a little worried about you, after all, it's my own flesh and blood, I have been running around all the year round, and I am an ancestor, how can I not feel distressed?"
"Then I'm leaving, you must also take care of your body!" After speaking, he wiped his tears and didn't go up the mountain, so he took Niansheng and made a detour to the north. Yufu heard that Yu Xi arrived at Baihe Mountain, and she also hurriedly greeted her. However, at that time, Yu Xi had already walked away, and only Guangling was alone looking at her figure and sighing. As early as when she was in Kanto, Yufu heard about the embarrassment of Zhou Yu and the others, so at this moment, facing Yu Xi's grandfather, she was a little reluctant in her heart. But because of the relationship between the two families, it was not appropriate to say anything, so he just praised her a few words, and did not say much.
On the night of the eighth day of the new year, Shiya had been fasting for many days, and except for a few words in a low voice, this apocalyptic hero seemed to have come to the end of his life. All the disciples up and down the White Crane Mountain knelt outside the room and waited, only a few people he wanted to see the most were in the inner room.
Zhou Tianyong sat in front of the sickbed with tears in his eyes, holding one of his hands and talking about some old things, Shiya half opened his mouth, closed his eyes, with a smile on his face, but tears in the corners of his eyes. Guanglingli was silent in front of the bed, and the rest of the disciples knelt in front of the bed.
Guangling Company sent several people to the bottom of the mountain to meet Yu Xi, but he still did not come back until dark. At that time, a large road up the mountain was hung with lanterns on both sides, and the candles were brilliant, and there was no sadness at all.
The crowd was waiting outside the Nanshan Gate, when they suddenly heard that Yu Xi had already ascended the mountain from the north! The crowd that greeted them hurriedly collected their troops and went to the mountain to resume their lives.
At that time, Guangling was pacing anxiously outside the door, and when he saw a black shadow whistling from the north, he knew that Yu Xi was in a hurry and went up the mountain from the North Mountain Road.
Niansheng was dressed in the dust, and as soon as Yu Xi and Yuegu came down, it was paralyzed, lying on the ground panting, and couldn't get up for a long time. Yu Xi looked distressed, and hurriedly looked for someone to feed it some food.
As soon as Yuegu entered the door, the tears that she had endured all the way instantly welled up, and she sat on the edge of the bed trembling all over, and the two old men who had been separated for many years looked at each other hand in hand, unable to say a word for a long time. Shiya opened her eyes slightly, looking at her pale face and white hair, her former appearance was old, but between her eyebrows she was proud of all the hair bones but still warm, but it was a pity that she was unable to speak at this time, even if she had a thousand words, she could only turn into two lines of sad tears of regret that was too late. Yuegu held his hand tightly and cried silently, seeing that everyone was crying.
Yu Xi stood in front of the door, not having the courage to face the dying goodbye of such a pair of old people, so he went out with tears in his eyes. At that time, Niansheng had eased his physical strength a little, and Yu Xi didn't care about feeling sorry for it, just for the sake of a wish from Shiya, so he wanted to go to Taiji Mountain again and pick up Zhou Yi to come back to see him. Guangling stopped her and said, "You don't have to run around anymore, the two of them can be reunited, and there is no regret at all." It's you, you've lost a lot of weight these days. ”
Yu Xi suddenly sobbed, bowed his head and said: "It's Yu Xi who is not filial, and I can't accompany you to spend your old age in peace! Just now, when I saw Mr. Zhou, I suddenly felt that I, like Zhou Yi, are unfilial children!"
In the blink of an eye, after half of the night, everyone stayed outside the door of the cliff and did not disperse. Yu Xi was absent-minded, so he walked to the Furong Stream alone, and Niansheng followed behind him without leaving an inch.
At that time, in the dead of night, there was some fire in the mountains, Yu Xi swung the boat and came to the Wofu Pavilion, and the time ten years ago was in front of him in an instant. This mountain is still the same, this water is clothed, the white crane is singing, everything is the same as in the past, but the boy who swore to the sky when he was a child is gone.
She lay on the boat, looked at the stars in the sky, thought about the bits and pieces of her childhood, and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but when I woke up in a trance, it was already dawn. After settling down, I faintly heard the sound of private weeping on the mountain. Yu Xi hurriedly rowed the boat ashore and walked up the mountain road. I saw a lookout pavilion not far away, Yuegu and Shiya sat side by side, Shiya leaned slightly on her shoulder, and her back was very peaceful. Zhou Ying and the others knelt behind them, crying silently.
Shiya passed away at the age of seventy!
