Chapter 141: Immortals Go
Yang Guo pushed open the door and walked in.
The tables, chairs and bedding in the room are complete, and the floor is spotless, which looks very clean. The candles have been lit, and the flickering candles add warmth to the room.
He glanced around, and saw that every item was so familiar, and he couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart, and when his eyes swept to a landscape painting on the wall, he seemed to remember something, and walked over quickly.
Lifting the frame of the painting, revealing the wall behind it, I can see that there is a blue brick with a lot of gaps around it.
"It's been so long, and I don't know if anyone has ever found out. Yang Guo stretched out his hand and grabbed the edge of the green brick, and with a slight pull out, the green brick was pulled out, revealing a square hole.
He reached into the square hole, and when he came out again, he had a small pile of paper in his hand.
"It's still there, not even broken. Yang Guo was a little surprised, and when he went to look at the paper, there were still blackened handwriting and some small figures of human figures on it.
"Zhao Zhijing is a bastard" "Lu Qingdu is a bastard"
He flipped through a few sheets, and the paper was full of words that scolded Zhao Zhijing's master and apprentice, and he also drew pictures and marked his name, and suddenly laughed a little.
This simple secret grid was done when he was bored when he was in Quanzhen Sect, and he originally wanted to put some personal secret items, and later every time he was troubled by Zhao Zhijing's master and apprentice, he wrote some swear words and put them in, and over time it also became a way for him to vent his dissatisfaction.
A few years have passed, and when I think back to the bits and pieces of the past, I feel naΓ―ve at the same time, but I also feel that time passes quickly.
When he first came to the Quanzhen Sect, he was still a weak and powerless child, and he had to be frightened every day, and in the blink of an eye, the opponent who could wantonly bully him in the past was already like an ant in his eyes.
"The world is impermanent. Yang Guo sighed in his heart, then moved an iron basin, lit the paper in his hand on the candle flame, and in a blink of an eye, there was a pile of ashes in the iron basin.
There was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the room. Then there was a knock on the door.
Yang Guo opened the door, and there was already a Taoist boy standing outside the door.
"Qiu Zhenren came to inform you and asked you to go to the side hall quickly. β
"What happened?" Yang Guo was shocked, and asked as he walked out of the door.
"I don't know exactly what it is, but it seems that the real person in charge wants to see you......"
Before the fairy tale was finished, Yang Guo was already happy in his heart, and he had no intention of listening to Dao Tong's words. Hurried forward, one step later, and in a few steps disappeared into the night.
When Yang Guo arrived outside the side hall, Li Zhichang was already waiting at the door.
"Ma Zhenren is awake?" Yang asked anxiously.
"Uncle Master has been awake for a while, and when I hear you coming, I want to see you, so go in quickly. Li Zhichang said.
Yang Guo stopped talking. After entering the main hall, he went straight to the outside of Ma Yu's wing, paused at the door, and then opened the curtain and walked in.
"It's already here, take a look at him for yourself. Qiu Chuji was sitting on the edge of the bed and saying something to Ma Yu, and when he saw Yang come in, he said another word to Ma Yu. Then he beckoned Yang Guo to step forward.
Yang Guo hurriedly stepped forward, and saw that Ma Yu had woken up and was looking at him.
This kind of gaze was all too familiar to him, kind and full of love, and now it was even more gratifying.
"Shi Bozu!" Yang Guo suddenly knelt down in front of the bed, choked up and said: "I am not filial, I only came to see your old man now......
"Uh......" Ma Yu opened his mouth slightly as if to say something, but it was only a few indistinct syllables in everyone's ears.
"Shi Bozu. What do you want to say to Guo'er?" Yang Guo was sad in his heart, and lowered his head to listen carefully.
Ma Yu muttered for a while, but couldn't say a word, just stretched out his arm from the futon, raised it slightly, and then hung down weakly.
Yang Guo saw that the arm in front of him was as thin as a bamboo pole, and the palm of his hand was like a chicken claw. The sorrow in his heart was a little heavier, and he carefully held Ma Yu's hand in his hand, pasted it on his face, and said, "Master Bozu." You've lost weight, I'll make you a lot of delicious food later, and I'll make it up for you......"
Ma Yu's face seemed to smile, and the palm against Yang Guo's face squirmed, and there was another mixed sound in his mouth.
"Shi Bozu, what do you want to say?" Yang Guo departed a trace of internal force from his hand, wanting to cross into Ma Yu's body, but the internal force had just advanced a few inches, but he found that the meridians in Ma Yu's body had been depleted and shrunk, and they were no different from rotten wood.
Ma Yu's fingers moved again, Yang Guo saw his gaze looking at his palm, and his heart moved, so he put down Ma Yu's palm, placed it on top of his palm, and asked, "Shi Bozu, do you want to write?"
Ma Yu nodded imperceptibly, Yang Guo was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Say what you want to say slowly, don't worry." β
He felt that Ma Yu's fingers were already moving in the palm of his hand, so he stopped talking and carefully felt what was written on the palm.
After a while, Yang Guo asked softly, "Shi Bozu, did you write a 'very' character?"
Ma Yu nodded, and continued to write.
The five sons of Quanzhen who were surrounded by the bed all slowed down their breathing, and they didn't dare to make a sound to disturb, wanting to know what the senior brother wanted to say.
When Yang Guo felt that Ma Yu had written the word "female" again, and was about to continue to feel the strokes behind, Ma Yu's fingers only moved for a moment but stopped.
"Shi Bozu!" Yang Guo was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly looked up.
The five sons of Quan Zhen also sensed that something was wrong, and they all called: "Senior brother!"
Ma Yu couldn't hear it anymore, his mouth opened violently and panted loudly, as if he couldn't breathe under suffocation, and he seemed to feel extremely painful, and his body trembled.
"Senior Brother!" "Senior Brother!" "Senior Brother!"
Yang Guo and Quan Zhen's five sons exclaimed in surprise, and they all stepped forward to do something, but they had nothing else to think of except to support Ma Yu's body.
Ma Yu's body trembled for a moment before stopping, and then he fell silent.
"Master Bozu!" "Senior Brother!"
Yang Guo couldn't help but grab Ma Yu's arm and cry loudly, and the five sons of Quan Zhen were also weeping, and the sobbing echoed in the room.
"Senior brother has already gone, let's prepare for the future. After a while, Liu Chuxuan said with his eyes down.
Ma Yu died, according to the previous discussion of their senior brothers, Liu Chuxuan automatically took over as the next head of the coach, even if he was sad in his heart, he had to focus on the overall situation at this time.
Yang Guo also knew that this matter could not be delayed, so he got up and avoided it.
The next thing is to deal with the aftermath, the five sons of Quanzhen first wiped Ma Yu's body, then put on new clothes and went to the funeral, and set up a mourning hall, and finally rang the bell to mourn the whole sect.
When all things are done, the time of the Son has come.
"It's late at night, go back and get some rest. Qiu Chuji's tired face could not hide his sadness, and he said to Yang Guo a little weakly.
Yang Guo looked at the mourning hall, shook his head, and said, "I want to stay here and accompany my master and ancestor more." β
Qiu Chuji was slightly stunned, and then said, "It's okay, you should be guarding the spirit here." β
Yang Guo entered the mourning hall, knelt down in front of the coffin, and looked at the soybean oil lamp in front of him, glowing with a misty yellow halo, and his heart was in turmoil.
A few hours ago, the person in the coffin was still beside him, and he could touch it casually, but now there was only a thin plank of wood, but it was already separated by yin and yang.
Since then, he has lost a loved one who has truly treated him forever.
Thinking of this, he wanted to cry again, but his eyes were sour and astringent, but there were no tears to shed.
"Don't be too sad, it's not a bad thing for your master to go here, it's just a sin of suffering to live. Qiu Chuji sighed, came to Yang Guo's side, and patted him on the shoulder.
Yang Guo was silent, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "What does 'very good' mean?"
"What?" Qiu was a little puzzled.
Yang Guo explained: "Shi Bozu wrote a 'female' character in the second word, I felt that the word had not been written yet, and I guessed that Shi Bozu should have wanted to write the word 'very good', but I didn't know what it meant when I thought about it." β
Enlightenment flashed on Qiu Chuji's face, his eyes looked ahead, and he said as if whispering: "Senior brother is very satisfied with you, he has been waiting for you to come." β
Yang Guo was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?"
Qiu Chuji didn't respond, his face flashed with self-blame, remorse, shame and other looks, and only after a long time did he say again: "What you did at the hero's banquet, Senior Brother Hao has already said it, and Zhichang has also said that you fought against the Tartars. β
Yang Guo suddenly realized that Ma Yu had always wanted him to be a loyal and righteous person who protected the country and the people, and now he inadvertently met Ma Yu's expectations, and he was relieved.
Qiu Chuji sighed again, and said with emotion: "Senior brother should have gone half a month ago, at that time we all thought that he couldn't hold on, but he miraculously survived, and in the past half a month, he has experienced two more death-based survivals, each time he narrowly and dangerously only survived. β
At that time, we guessed that the senior brother should have some unfulfilled wishes, but when asked, the senior brother always shook his head and didn't say anything. Now that you came, the senior brother passed away, and this knot is obviously out of you. β
"Looking back now, Senior Brother has always been relieved of you and wanted to see you in person, but knowing that you are fighting the enemy wholeheartedly, he doesn't want to disturb your mind, and has always maintained a glimmer of life. β
"I've been with Senior Brother for decades, but I haven't been able to understand his mind, his last wish is still to be fulfilled by Zhichang, it really shouldn't be!"
After speaking, there was an indescribable loneliness in his expression.
When Yang Guo heard this, he was shocked and inexplicable in his heart, blamed himself, and muttered: "Shi Bozu, it's Guo'er's mistake, I should have come to see you a long time ago." β
"I failed to serve you to fulfill your filial piety during your lifetime, and now that you are immortal, I can only make up for it a little before your heroic soul and accompany you for a few days. If you have a spirit in heaven and can forgive you, please let me know. β
After finishing speaking, the wind outside suddenly rose, blowing a trace in, the lights shook slightly, Yang Guo looked out the window, there was no starlight in the sky, only dark and dreary.
