Chapter 56: The Dusk Bell of the Wild Goose Pagoda (Part II)
Hui Ming, who received everyone at the door, crossed the threshold and walked into the hall, came to Abbot Wuchen and saluted, "Master, what is the matter with your disciple?"
The sound of rain outside the hall became heavier, and Abbot Wuchen looked at the goose-yellow-robed monk in front of him, then fell his gaze on Ye Lin, and coughed, "Huiming, this Ye Shi Master wants to know something about the martial arts of the Eight Sects. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info if you know, answer truthfully. ”
"Yes" Hui Ming looked at the young man in a plain shirt and velvet robe beside him, and said loudly, "A few days ago, four or five people from the rivers and lakes came to spend the night in the temple, and the disciples learned from them that the eight sects would be a little different from previous years. ”
"What's the difference?" Ye Lin's eyes flashed with excitement, and he hurriedly asked.
Huiming looked at Ye Lin and said slowly, "I heard them say that this year's Eight Factions will be different from previous ones, as long as it is a person from Wujiang Lake, they can participate." ”
"Is it true?" Ye Lin asked again, his face showing excitement. I thought privately in my heart that the first time I went out of the villa, I encountered such a grand event, but unfortunately I couldn't go, and it was inevitable that I felt some unhappiness in my heart. I can only hope that Uncle Ashina will return to the villa to intercede for himself, and he can go to Jinling together, and then he can go to Luoyang to see the eight factions in the rivers and lakes.
After Hui Ming was silent for a moment, the eyes of everyone in the hall were fixed on the goose yellow monk's robe flashing under the illumination of the candle flame. "It should be true, recently I went to the temple to pick up some things, and suddenly there were many foreign people in the city, and I learned from their conversations that they were all going to Luoyang to participate in the Eight Factions Martial Arts. ”
"I see, thank you, Master," Ye Lin smiled.
Abbot Wuchen looked at Ye Lin's excited expression, a trace of worry flashed on his face, and his tone began to be a little low, "Lord Ye Shi is planning to participate in the Eight Sects Martial Arts?"
"Ahh
Liu Tianjiang, who was beside Abbot Wuchen, frowned, coughed, and said in a rough voice, "The abbot is too worried, although our villa is in the middle of the rivers and lakes, we rarely ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Childe is just curious, the Eight Sects Huiwu has always had nothing to do with the villa. ”
"Oh, Amitabha," Abbot Wuchen said aloud with his right hand in front of his chest.
Ashina came to Ye Lin, as if she understood his thoughts, smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "The villa has never been involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but in the deep whirlpool of rivers and lakes, who can completely get rid of it?"
Ye Lin looked at Ashina's soft gaze and white temples, and did not squeak. The hall suddenly fell into silence, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward. In the past hundred years, the prestige of the martial arts led by Tianxianglou has become increasingly prestigious, and it has the tendency to replace the Tianxia Alliance, and Wujian Villa, as the center of the Tianxia Alliance's involvement in the rivers and lakes, is inevitably a little dissatisfied. This time, the young master of Wujian Villa set foot in the rivers and lakes for the first time, and was the first heir to set foot in the rivers and lakes in the villa in the past hundred years, which caused a heated discussion in the villa.
At this moment, the incense rising in the air in the hall became even stronger, and everyone seemed to be looking at Ye Lin at this moment.
After a long time, Liu Tianjiang broke everyone's silence with a loud laugh.
"Abbot, thank you for letting us stay in the temple tonight. Liu Tianjiang turned sideways and looked at Wuchen on the futon, and Abbot clenched his fists with both hands.
Abbot Wuchen replied, "Lord Liu Shi is polite, if you hadn't acted righteously back then, this temple would have been destroyed by thieves a long time ago." ”
Liu Tianjiang nodded, smiling. Abbot Wuchen on the side took a sip of the teacup and said softly, "If you don't dislike it, I have ordered someone to prepare some food for you." ”
Ye Lin, Liu Tianjiang and the others thanked in unison, "Thank you, abbot." Afterwards, everyone followed Abbot Wuchen to the wings on both sides of the hall, and several novices had already put the food in the room.
......
Outside the window, a drizzle mixed with the north wind whistled the window paper. The bluestone rocks in the garden splashed rainwater on the surrounding pine branches, and the water droplets slowly flowed down with the cracks in the branches. Zhao Xiaohai was lying at the door with a bowl of rice, looking at the dark night in the western sky.
"Xiaohai..."Ye Lin seemed to have something to say, but when he came to his mouth, he choked up.
Zhao Xiaohai looked back at Ye Lin's face as usual, although there were some red threads in the corners of his eyes, he tried his best to restrain his tears, and slowly stuffed some fasting rice with chopsticks in his hand into his mouth, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Ye Lin shook his head and sighed lightly, "It's okay, you eat well." Then, alone, he walked out of the wing room to the wooden porch outside, and watched the rain grow in the courtyard.
"You haven't rested yet?" There was a sound of heavy footsteps at the end of the wooden corridor, and Ashina, who was dressed in a red velvet robe, stood at the corner of the wing room, looking at this young man, his thin body was blown by the north wind.
"Boom... Boom" There was a burst of bells from Tading, breaking the silence between the two.
Ye Lin looked at the courtyard, did not turn to look back at Ashina, and did not answer Ashina.
"It should be the bell of Zishi, you are worried...."Ashina slowly walked towards Ye Lin, and her tone seemed a little old.
Ye Lin pulled the velvet robe on his body inward and sneezed. "Uncle Shi, how long have you been in Moxi?"
"Me?" Ashina laughed, came to Ye Lin's side, and followed his gaze to the pine tree in the courtyard, "You are still young, the rivers and lakes are dangerous, and your mother didn't let you go to the villa to protect you." ”
"Then, this time, why did she let me" Ye Lin was silent for a moment, and looked up at the somewhat awkward old man beside him.
"Senior sister, she may be thinking" Ashina looked at Ye Lin, who was trembling, took off his velvet robe, draped it on him, and smiled, "That's it, back to the villa, Uncle Shi will help you persuade your mother, and let her promise you to go to Jinling with me?"
"Really?" Ye Lin looked excitedly at the familiar and unfamiliar old man in front of him.
"Of course," Ashina coughed and laughed.
"Then, my mother replied that Xiao Hailiu should be allowed to stay...."Ye Lin looked worried, and Ashina's figure was reflected in his eyes.
Ashina bent over, looked at Ye Lin's slightly worried expression, and sighed, "Senior Sister's temper, you, as his son, should know best. Let's go and rest early, we'll have to go early tomorrow morning. ”
"Well, okay. Ye Lin, seeing Ashina's old body, disappear at the end of the wooden corridor.
