I don't know how long I've been asleep, but I'm sleeping, but I feel a familiar smell all around me, and I don't know how long I've not felt this kind of peace of mind.

So I also fell asleep deeply, as if I didn't want to wake up, but in the depths of the dream, there was always a tingling feeling, which lingered and refused to disperse, stabbing my heart from time to time.

With a sigh of relief, the ghost woke up. In front of him, he looked at the room silently as if in a dream. When he was a teenager, he lived here and grew up, and the tables, chairs, beds, doors, and windows here were almost all engraved in his heart.

Leaning against the wall of the bed, the huge word "Dao" is still hanging on the wall, but the face and handwriting are a little faded, but the stroke and painting still look as vigorous and powerful as when I first saw him.

There was a soft sound of the wooden frame on the window, and a gap was opened, and the gray-haired monkey Little Gray jumped in from the outside, and when he saw that Ghost Li had woken up and was half-sitting on the bed, he couldn't help but be happy, grinning, and jumped on the bed in a few clicks.

Ghost Li's heart was beating for a while, this scene seemed to be like many years ago, if it weren't for the injuries on his body, as well as the spiritual eyes that opened on the little gray head, he really had the illusion of Nan Ke's dream.

It's just that that's not possible after all.

Ash squeaked at the ghost. Ghost Li looked down and saw that Xiao Ash was holding a number of wild fruits with both hands, thinking that he had picked them from outside, as if he wanted to share them with his master at this moment. Ghost Li shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to eat it. Ash didn't give much, so he turned around and jumped onto the table in the middle of the house, squatted down, and then opened his mouth to chew.

Ghost Li silently looked at Yiqiē in the room, and finally his gaze fell on the half-open window when Ash entered. A small piece of light came in through the window, and it was not clear what was outside. But Ghost Li didn't have to look to know that beyond the window was a small courtyard, where there was a pine tree, a green lawn, and a path paved with stones, and on the side of the courtyard, there was a semicircular arch. Every grass and tree here has long been engraved in the depths of his memory and can no longer be erased.

The air was so fresh that it seemed to smell a little sweet, and even in the small courtyard outside the house, there seemed to be the fragrance of grass.

In a trance, he felt like he was going home, but after a while, a tingling pain in his heart woke him up.

Outside the door, there was the sound of footsteps.

With a grim gaze, he turned to the door. The footsteps soon reached the door, but in front of the hidden door, the person outside the door seemed to hesitate and did not immediately push the door open.

The ghost stared at the door.

After a few moments, the door was finally pushed open.

A tall, steady figure stood in the doorway, and almost at the same time, the man also saw the ghost who woke up. Their eyes met in mid-air, but neither of them spoke immediately. In their eyes, there were too many complicated feelings for a while, and I don't know if it was because of this that the original thousand words turned into silence.

Grey sat down on the table, spat out the pit of a wild fruit, then glanced at the doorway, squeaked a few times, and went down to eat its wild fruit.

The man standing at the door sighed, the corners of his mouth seemed to show a wry smile, shook his head, walked in, took a deep look at Ghost Li, and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years, should I call you Lao Qi or your little junior brother?"

Ghost's lips moved, and at last, he looked at the man in front of him, and called out in a low voice:

"Big Brother ......"

The qiē on the big bamboo peak is still as quiet as in memory, quiet, and I don't know where the others have gone.

Song Daren silently looked at the person in front of him, once upon a time, he used to be his favorite little junior brother, and he was the most unsuccessful seventh disciple under the seat of Dazhu Fengtian Buyi's teacher. Nowadays, time has changed, and things are not people.

It's been ten years, but this is the first time we've met.

"How have you been doing all these years?" Song Daren asked, sitting opposite the ghost +.

Ghost didn't answer, he just was silent. It's been ten years, looking back on the light yīn like water, I have unconsciously walked this long road, but how can I say a "good" word!

Song Daren looked at him, the former young man Zhang Xiaofan, now looks like he still has the original outline, but above his face, after all, there is still more vicissitudes of life, and I don't know when, this person who is much younger than himself, but now he is much taller than himself, his sideburns have faintly appeared with gray hair.

Song Daren let out a long sigh and said lightly, "How are you doing now?"

Ghost Li looked down at the wound, and saw that the original rags on his chest had been replaced with neat and clean bandages at this moment, obviously rebandaged by these senior brothers of Dazhufeng for himself. The wound in his chest was obviously still aching, but it was much better than before he fainted. He was silent for a moment and said, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern." ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly think of something, looked at Song Daren, and said, "I...... has already reversed Qingyun, do you still recognize me as a junior brother?"

Song Daren smiled, although there was a bit of bitterness in the smile, and said: "The master has told us, the master and his old man were ...... when he was alive" Speaking of the word "Before his death", Song Daren's eyes were red, his voice was obviously choked, and the ghost was heard in his ears, and his body trembled slightly.

Song Daren calmed down and continued: "Master, when he was an old man, he told Master Sù many times that he had never personally driven you out of Dazhu Peak, and he never thought that you had anything wrong ten years ago. Therefore, Shi Niang instructed us, now and now, as long as you are still willing, you will still be the seventh child of our Qingyun Mountain Dazhu Peak...... Little junior ......"

Ghost Li slowly lowered his head, his body trembled slightly, his left hand was on the mattress of the bed, and he clenched it tightly, while his right hand covered his face and quietly wiped away the tears oozing from the corners of his eyes.

There was a moment of silence in the room. After a long time, when he saw that the ghostly love slowly calmed down, Song Daren's deep voice sounded again:

"If you're fine, come with me to the Meditation Hall, where the master will be the master...... Wake up, she wants to see you. ”

“...... Yes"

Walking out of the archway, what I saw was the familiar circular corridor, Song Daren walked forward without saying a word, with broad shoulders and back, like a hill.

Ghost Li silently followed behind him, and couldn't help but think of his youth, when he first came to Dazhu Peak, he followed Song Daren all the way and slowly melted into the world of Dazhu Peak.

Looking back, it was like a dream.

His gaze quietly fell on Song Daren's waist, and then he found that at some point, Song Daren had an extra white cloth around his waist, naturally because his teacher Tian was not easy to pass away, and Dai Xiao mourned.

His face darkened, and he closed his eyes.

Walking out of the corridor, I saw the Shoujing Hall from a distance, but unlike the clean space in the ordinary day, the Shoujing Hall today floated out of the smoke and incense, and at the same time, there was a faint sound of choking and crying.

Song Daren silently walked towards the Shoujing Hall, took two steps, he suddenly realized something, looked back, but found that the ghost was standing in place in a daze, looking at the Shoujing Hall, but he didn't take a step to follow.

"What's wrong?"

Ghost Li's face looked very pale, and somehow, he looked at the Shoujing Hall where the fireworks were wafting and crying, and he felt a little afraid in his heart, like a child who had done something wrong, and did not dare to face the parents who were about to be sad.

Song Daren seemed to see something, sighed, and said, "Let's go." As he spoke, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder. Ghost Li's body moved, glanced at Song Daren, nodded silently, and walked up.

The closer he got to the Quiet Hall, the stronger the breath of fireworks became, and the sound of choking and crying became clearer and clearer, but although there was a familiar voice in the ghost's memory, there was no woman's cry, no Su Ru's, and no Tian Ling'er, the senior sister who had married a woman, as he originally expected.

Finally, under the leadership of Song Daren, he once again stood at the entrance of the gate of the Shoujing Hall.

Eight glances turned around in an instant and stopped at him. Ghost Li's body trembled faintly, and his eyes looked over one by one.

Wu Dayi, Zheng Dali, He Dazhi, Lu Daxin, Du Bishu!

These familiar faces are all presented in front of the ghost at this moment, many years ago, they were his most dear relatives in the world, and they were his most trusted senior brothers.

Their waists are the same as Song Daren's, tied with Dai Xiao's white cloth, their faces are sad, and some of their eyes are already red and swollen from crying. In the Silent Hall, there was a large iron cauldron with flames burning inside, and the senior brothers standing next to them slowly put the paper money in their hands into the flames.

Smoke and smoke filled.

The ghost looked at it in a daze, after the smoke, Tian Buyi lay quietly on a spiritual bed, the soiled clothes on his body had been changed into a set of clean, neatly worn on his body, it seemed that his appearance was also much more peaceful, Shi Niang Su Ru sat next to Tian Buyi's body at this moment, stretched out her hand to hold Tian Buyi's hand, and held it tightly.

Her expression was very sad, but she did not shed a single tear, and between her sideburns and hair, there was a small white flower, which was still slightly dewy in the morning, elegant and beautiful, with a little sadness. She just held her husband's hand tightly and stared at Tian Buyi's face. And his daughter Tian Ling'er did not appear in this quiet hall.

And the rhubarb, who was not easy to raise by Tian since he was a child, was lying on the ground next to the spiritual bed silently at the moment, and his head was lying on the ground without jīng, completely losing the xìng that jumped out of Pingyu.

After the ghostly gaze fell on Tian Buyi, he couldn't move anymore. His steps were heavy, and he slowly moved forward step by step. Song Daren walked to the side silently, took a hemp rope back, and handed it to Ghost Li. Ghost Li looked at him, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, nodded, took the hemp rope, and said in a low voice, "Thank you." ”

Song Daren glanced at Su Ru and said, "You go to the master's place." After speaking, he silently walked back to the middle of his fellow disciples, knelt down towards Tian Buyi's body, kowtowed three times, and when his head was raised, his eyes were a little red again, and he turned around and took a stack of paper money from Wu Dayi, who was kneeling beside him, and began to slowly throw it into the fire.

Ghost Li looked at the hemp rope in his hand for a long time, and then tied the rope around his waist, and the gray and white rope was wrapped around his waist, with a little sadness, but it seemed to tie his heart here again.

He walked forward silently, walked to the spiritual bed, knelt down, bowed three times to Tian Buyi's body, and then turned to Su Ru and knelt on the ground.

"Disciple......" His voice suddenly stopped, and after a long time, I heard him speak again in a deep tone: "Disciple Zhang...... Xiaofan, meet the master. ”

Behind him, Song Daren and the other six disciples of Dazhu Peak looked here, their expressions were a little complicated, but more importantly, they were still the joy and cordiality of blood thicker than water.

Even Su Ru's face showed a faint hint of relief, she looked at the ghost and nodded, and then a trace of pain passed over her face, looked at Tian Buyi, and said in a low voice: "Not easy, did you hear it, this is Lao Qi, he came back to kowtow to you." ”

Ghost Li knelt at Su Ru's feet, unable to speak.

Behind him, there was a choked voice.

The smoke was filling, slowly wafting, and the quiet hall became a little trance-like, I don't know if it was because the master was gone, even this hall looked empty, and it did not become noisy because of the large number of people.

After a while, Song Daren wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, stepped forward, came to Su Ru's side, and said in a low voice: "Senior Niang, please give me instructions on Master's future, and I want to inform the seniors of each vein one by one, and I also plan to rush to Longshou Peak to inform Senior Sister Ling'er and let her ......."

"This matter is not in a hurry!" Su Ru suddenly interrupted Song Daren's words and said lightly.

Song Daren was taken aback, and all the disciples behind him, including Ghost Li, were also stunned for a while, and in the quiet hall, it was quiet for a while, and there was no sound at all.

After a long while, Song Daren was bold and said cautiously: "Master, the master passed away, and the disciples all understood that the master was sad, but this is just a matter of the future...... But it can't be delayed. ”

Su Ru's face was faint and unchanged, not only that, she didn't even look at Song Daren, in her eyes, except for the old Qi who had just come back, there was only Tian Buyi's figure.

Song Daren showed embarrassment on his face, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and looked back at the juniors and disciples who were kneeling on the ground and burning paper money, but everyone also looked at each other, not knowing what to do? At this time, Su Ru opened his mouth and shouted:

"Great benevolence. ”

Song Daren hurriedly responded: "Yes, Master, what do you command?"

Su Ru said: "You and the others will go out for the time being, and you are not allowed to come in without my exchange." ”

Song Daren was stunned for a moment, took a few steps back, and several juniors and disciples next to him all looked over, Song Daren frowned and said silently, standing beside him, He Dazhi, who was the most clever, shook his head at him slightly, with anxiety on his face, Song Daren saw it in his eyes, and his brows only wrinkled tighter.

He didn't know how long he had been with these juniors, and what He Dazhi was worried about, he naturally understood it very clearly. He is the person who has followed Tian Buyi and Su Ru for the longest time among these disciples, and no one understands the deep relationship between the master and the mother better than him......

As soon as he thought of this, Song Daren's face turned white with fright, and he couldn't move this step anyway. At this moment, Su Ru glared at a few of them, and said slightly angrily: "What are you doing, could it be that as soon as your master dies, don't you take my master's words in your eyes?"

"Plop, plop!"

After a few sounds, except for the ghost who was already kneeling in front of Su Ru, Song Daren and other Dazhufeng disciples all knelt down, kowtowed to the ground, and Song Daren said in his mouth: "The disciple doesn't dare, the disciple doesn't dare!"

Su Ru sighed, her face showed a deep tiredness, and she didn't even seem to have the strength to scold, she just waved her hand lightly and said, "You guys go out." ”

Song Daren and the others didn't dare to disobey the teacher's intentions anymore, and immediately retreated with bitter faces, but the big stone in their hearts was heavy, and they didn't know what to do. Ghost Li bowed lightly to Su Ru a few times, and slowly retreated back, but he only took a few steps back, Su Ru suddenly said:

"Old Seven, you stay, I have something to ask you. ”

The ghost was stunned and stopped, but Song Daren and the others behind him were relieved, no matter what, as long as someone is by Shi Niang's side, there will be no accidents, only listening to the sound of footsteps at the moment, and after a while, Song Daren and the other six people have already withdrawn from the Silent Hall.

Inside the Silent Hall, there was silence for a moment, only the burning flames engulfed the paper money, and there was a slight crackling sound from time to time.

Ghost Li stood silently in place, bowing his head and not saying a word, and he didn't know how long it took, but he only heard Su Ru sigh and said, "Your master has always been hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. Ten years ago, he has been haunted by the incident, although he did not open his mouth to say to me, but I can see that he actually feels a little sorry for you in his heart. ”

Ghost Li's eyes turned red, he shook his head vigorously, and said hurriedly: "No, it's the disciple who is not good, he lives up to the teacher's kindness, and the disciple can't stand the master's ......" When he said the back, he was already choked.

The corners of Su Ru's mouth trembled slightly, and when she heard the ghostly words in front of her with a slight crying voice, it seemed that she was also aroused by the pain in her heart, but although there was pain in her eyes, she still held back after all and did not shed tears. She silently looked at Tian Buyi's face, and said faintly: "In your master's heart, you have never been a disciple who drove out the door wall, do you understand?"

Ghost Li lowered his head and whispered, "Yes." ”

Su Ru said: "Now that you have recognized him as a master, you can go over and burn some paper money for him, and think that you have done a little filial piety, it must not be easy for him to be happy......

The ghost gritted his teeth, knelt down towards Tian Buyi's body, bowed three times, there were tears in his eyes, and then got up and walked to the cauldron and knelt down. The flame in the iron pot has been much lower, presumably because Song Daren and the others have walked out, and no one has added paper money. Ghost Li glanced to the side, only to see several stacks of thick paper money piled up not far away, all of which were new products that had not been opened.

The big bamboo peak is full of cultivators, and I am afraid that I will not be able to use paper money for hundreds of years, and these things must have been purchased by Song Daren temporarily for future affairs and at the bottom of the mountain. Thinking of this, Ghost Li's heart was sour again, and he silently reached out and took a stack, unsealed it, and turned the paper money into ashes one by one.

Su Ru sat beside Tian Buyi, silently looking at the undulating, tumbling flames, the light reflected on the ghostly face next to the iron pot.

She suddenly asked, "Were you by your master's side when he passed away?"

Ghost Li's body shook slightly, and then turned around, still kneeling next to the iron pot, facing Su Ru at the same time, and said in a low voice: "Yes." ”

Su Ru looked at the ghost Li deeply, and said, "After you fainted yesterday, I treated your injuries and changed the dressing, but I found that where you were seriously injured in the chest, there was a red flame sword qi unique to your master in your body, which hurt your meridians the most, and it was also because of this, what happened?"

Ghost Li's heart jumped suddenly, and his hands were sweating slightly, and after a while, he whispered: "The disciple's injury this time is indeed a heavy hand under the master, but ......"

When he said this, he was at a loss for a while, and he didn't know where to start, that night changed suddenly, twists and turns were weird, Rao is that he has been through the strife and turmoil in the world for a long time, but he can't help but be thrilled, not to mention that there is the death of the most beloved teacher in his life, which is even more difficult to describe.

Su Ru snorted, his phoenix eyes were threatening, and he said coldly: "You give me the truth." ”

Ghost Li didn't dare to look at Su Ru for a while, lowered his head, and after a while, he slowly talked about the mysterious person he met from the ruins of Caomiao Village that night, chased all the way to the abandoned Yizhuang outside Heyang City, and slowly told Su Ru about it.

The more Su Ru's face became pale, especially after hearing the last part where Tian Buyi died at the end, there was no blood at all, and only one hand tightly grasped Tian Buyi's palm, as if she was afraid that her husband would leave again.

At the end, the ghost said in a low voice: "This is what happened, the disciple will never dare to deceive the master." ”

Su Ru's eyes moved to Tian Buyi, looking deeply at the familiar and serene face, perhaps, in her husband's heart, he didn't have much remorse, in his heart, he just felt that these were the things he should do!

She took a deep breath and straightened up, although she really wanted to lie down like this, with her husband, and never care about anything more, but she knew it wasn't time yet.

"You really see ...... clearly" Su Ru's voice sounded a little erratic.

Ghost Li didn't understand for a while, and said, "Master, what do you mean?"

Su Ru's face turned pale, and she said in a low voice: "That mysterious person is really a real person in charge...... Senior Brother Daoxuan?"

Ghost Li took a deep breath and said categorically: "If the disciple sees it with his own eyes, that person will turn into ashes, and the disciple will not be mistaken." ”

Su Ru nodded silently, and after a while, she slowly asked again: "Based on what you just said, it is not easy for him to knock you down when his mind is in turmoil in the end, is it Lu Xueqi of Xiaozhu Peak who killed him?"

The ghost's body shook, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead in a moment, but in the end, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

Su Ru didn't speak, just looked at Ghost Li in a daze, as if she was in a trance. However, under her gaze, the expression on Ghost Li's face changed violently, as if he was suffering, and after a while, he whispered, "That...... Lu Xueqi she, she is actually here to save me, no, it's a disciple ......" Suddenly, his face was solemn, he knelt on the ground, and said in a low voice: "Master, all the mistakes are the disciple's fault, then Lu Xueqi is ......"

Su Ru sighed and said, "I remember the disciple of Qingyun Sect, over the years, aren't you the best friend of her, even if you enter the Demon Dao, I heard that she is still worried about you, and for you to go against the will of Senior Sister Shuiyue several times, she even rejected the proposal of the Lord of Yunyi Lan Valley of Incense Valley, isn't it?"

The ghost fell to his knees, his heart was in a mess, and he had a thousand words in his belly, but he couldn't say a single one. On the night of that big change, although he knew that Lu Xueqi had to act most of the time to save him, Tian Buyi was the mentor who raised him after all, and he was the person he loved all his life...... After that, he almost subconsciously, when he was deeply heartbroken, turned Lu Xueqi away thousands of miles away.

After the turmoil in southern Xinjiang, there was a brief embrace, but under this creation and manipulation, the gap is deeper and bigger, I really don't know why the sky is so cruel!

In front of Su Ru this time, although Ghost Li had such a complicated mentality, he couldn't sit back and watch Su Ru misunderstand Lu Xueqi. However, he understands more deeply that Shi Niang treats his master with affection, and he is even more than himself, so how can he ask Shi Niang to be magnanimous about things that are difficult for him to accept?

The ghost was speechless, and he didn't know what to say.

The truth is as sharp and merciless as a knife, and everyone who approaches it seems to be hurt by it!

It's just that at this moment, Su Ru's face is not as decisive as Ghost Li imagined, on the contrary, after the initial sadness, she slowly has a thoughtful sè on her face. After a while, Su Ru said sharply to the ghost: "I remember you said just now that before you died, your consciousness briefly replied and recognized you, right?"

Ghost Li nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Su Ru said, "Then what did he say to you?"

Ghost Li pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice, "After Master woke up, he said two words to me. ”

Su Ru asked, "What did he say?"

Ghost said: "The first sentence that the master said was quite strange, but he repeated three words: don't blame her, don't blame her." The second sentence is to explain to the disciple, after the master passed away, bring his old man's body back to Dazhufeng and hand it over to the master, and tell the master......"

Su Ru's face changed, and she said, "What does he want you to say to me?"

Ghost Li said in a low voice: "When the master was dying, he asked the disciple to tell the master, please mourn the master, don't ...... Don't do stupid things. ”

Su Ru was speechless, her eyes were full of tears, her body shook and shook, and she looked weak and swaying, and she was already sad. Ghost Li was in pain and worry in his heart, but he didn't dare to step forward, so he could only kneel on the ground and kowtow: "Shiniang's Day mourning!"

After a long time, I heard Su Ru's voice calm down slightly, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, you can get up." ”

Only then did Ghost Li stand up, and when he looked up, Su Ru's face had calmed down, but the sadness in his eyes was still obvious.

In the Silent Hall, there was silence again, and Ghost Li silently added a few pieces of paper money to the iron pot next to him, and at this time, Su Ru suddenly spoke: "Do you also have dissatisfaction and resentment in your heart that Lu Xueqi killed your master?"

Ghost Li was taken aback, and he didn't know what the sentence asked by the master was, so he couldn't answer it for a while. But Su Ru is an extremely smart character, and he has already seen through the world, just looking at the look on the ghost's face, he already knows most of it.

She said lightly: "Do you know what the words 'don't blame her' that are not easy to say to you before dying?"

The ghost was stunned and said, "What?"

Su Ru smiled slightly bitterly and said, "As I expected, it's good, I'm afraid it's not easy, he is willing to ask that Lu Xueqi and Miss Lu to kill him." ”

Ghost Li was taken aback and said, "Master, what you say ......"

Su Ru let out a long sigh and said, "That's it." The past is unbearable, but it can't be dispersed after all, and the secrets of our previous generation can't always involve you juniors. She silently turned her head and looked at Tian Buyi, only to see that Tian Buyi's face was peaceful and peaceful, looking like she was asleep, she said in a low voice: "It's not easy, you must want me to tell him that secret......"
