Chapter 142: Warmth

According to custom, people return to their souls three days after death, so Yang Guo, Li Zhichang, Cui Zhifang and other third-generation disciples of the Quanzhen Sect need to keep the soul for three days.

In the past three days, Yang Guo has been in a daze, and his spirit is in a trance, only when the flame of the oil lamp in front of the coffin weakens, can he suddenly wake up a little, and then he will kneel forward and turn the wick on.

His mental condition is like this, naturally eat and drink less every day, three days have passed, the whole person has lost a circle, this is the age of vitality and youth, it seems that he has experienced decades of ups and downs in life, and his expression and temperament have added a few traces of vicissitudes, which makes the five sons of Quanzhen sigh when they look at it.

Originally, there were many links such as burial in the coffin and burial after the wake, although it was a time of turmoil in the family and country, everything was simple, but the aftermath of a generation of great religious leaders was not comparable to a country home, and it was impossible to complete it in a short period of time. Yang Guo still had to go through the whole process, but the five sons of Quanzhen had a change in complexion, but they didn't dare to say anything anymore, so several disciples forcibly took Yang Guo back to the room to rest, and Yang Guo had no choice but to give up.

After going through the days of defending the city and the death of Ma Yu, Yang Guo was already physically and mentally exhausted, and after lying on the bed, he fell asleep in a few breaths, and this sleep was twelve hours, until he woke up in the early morning of the second day.

During Yang Guo's sleep, there was a small twist and turn, and the little Taoist boy who was ordered to serve Yang Guo saw that Yang Guo couldn't wake up for a long time, and when he was worried, he first shouted and pushed slowly to no avail, and couldn't help but panic in his heart, and shouted and shook again and again to no avail, and he thought that Yang Guo died in his sleep, so frightened that he stumbled all the way to tell the five sons of Quanzhen. When the five sons of Quan Zhen came eagerly, they took a look at Yang Guo's pulse and nose. Fang Zhi was just a false alarm, and while breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, he reprimanded the little Daotong fiercely, and ordered the little Daotong to take care of it carefully, without any negligence.

That little boy didn't get started yet. After this fright, he didn't even dare to sleep at night, so he moved a wooden stool and stayed next to Yang Guo's bed, thinking that Yang Guo could wake up earlier, so that he could unload this hot task as soon as possible.

So when Yang Guo woke up and opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Daotong's eyes half-open in a daze. There was a pitiful and aggrieved expression on his face, his head was still napping high and low, and several times his jaw hit the edge of the bed, making a muffled "bang" sound.

"Go back and rest, I don't need anyone to serve me. Yang Guo didn't know why. I thought that Xiaodao Tong got up early and came over, so he didn't get enough sleep, so after saying it casually, he was ready to get out of bed and wash.

"Oh...... Ah" Xiao Daotong first responded in a daze, and then suddenly he was completely awake, jumped up with a "whew", looked at Yang Guo with a surprised face, and asked almost in a shouting tone: "Are you awake?"

Yang Guo was completely confused. I was a little inexplicable in my heart: I just slept a little, how could I see the surprised expression of this little Taoist boy, as if he had cheated the corpse?

But after Xiaodao Tong made such a fuss. Yang Guo's mood was a little better for no reason, he sat down on the bed again, and asked in an uncertain tone, "Why don't I sleep for a while?"

"Huh? No...... No" Xiao Daotong came to his senses, waved his hand and ran out, and did not forget to turn around and shout again: "I'll bring you water"

Yang Guo couldn't help but shake his head. No longer thinking about the madness of the little Taoist boy, he got out of bed and came to the window. I opened the window, and the chill of early spring suddenly penetrated into the collar with the wind. The spirit that was still a little lazy immediately came to life.

The scenery outside the window is still those scenery, but it is very different in his eyes, Yang Guo can't tell this feeling, but he just feels that after waking up, something seems to have changed in him.

In a daze, Xiao Daotong had already "pedaled" and walked back quickly, holding a wooden basin in both hands, warm water had been placed in the basin, and a face towel had been prepared. Xiao Daotong went out again, and this time even breakfast was on the table.

Yang Guo has never enjoyed this kind of treatment in his two lives, so he feels unnatural, but he will not talk nonsense about equality with Xiao Daotong pretentiously, and after washing and eating, he will send away Xiao Daotong with a happy face.

Since the five sons of Quanzhen did not allow Yang Guo to participate in Ma Yu's funeral affairs, Yang Guo did not need to stay any longer, he went out and was about to say goodbye to the five sons, but the latter had already come first after being informed by Xiao Daotong.

Yang Guo saluted the five sons of Quanzhen one by one, and said: "The disciple should have gone to greet him, but he bothered a few real people to come in person, and the disciple was ashamed."

Qiu Chuji stretched out his hand to help Yang Guo up, and said, "No need to be polite." After Yang Guo got up, he observed Yang Guo's expression, and saw that although Yang Guo was still thin, his gloomy and decadent feelings were gone, but more tenacious and mature, and his heart was both relieved and slightly sad.

"How do you feel? What discomfort do you have?" Liu Chuxuan has always been moody, but at this time, it is rare to ask, and take the initiative to care about a younger generation.

Yang Guo was a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "The disciple has rested, and there is no discomfort, thank you for the real person who is in charge of the teaching" At this time, although Liu Chuxuan has not officially taken over the position of the teacher, there is no difference.

Liu Chuxuan nodded slightly, and then stopped talking.

After that, Wang Chuyi, Hao Datong and Sun Buer asked Yang Guo a few more questions, and Yang Guo answered them one by one.

After the narration was finished, Qiu Chuji said, "Don't stand outside, let's go into the house and talk." With that, he walked towards Yang Guo's room.

Seeing this, Yang Guo hurriedly said: "Qiu Zhenren, please stay"

Qiu Chuji's eyes were slightly puzzled, and he stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"

This slightly ridiculous word came out of Qiu Chuji's mouth, which made Yang Guo's heart warm up, he had long been accustomed to Qiu Chuji's stern and rigid side, and naturally knew what the cordiality revealed in the words meant.

"The festival between me and the Quanzhen Sect has been solved from now on. Thinking like this in his heart, Yang Guo couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then came back to his senses in an instant, and explained: "The affairs in the sect are busy, and the disciples feel that it is difficult to add to them, lest they divide the minds of a few real people, and increase the chaos in vain, and they are about to resign to a few real people, and they will come to disturb them another day." Please forgive me. ”

When Qiu Chuji heard this, he frowned slightly and said: "There are hundreds of disciples inside and outside this mountain, and you can still be busy with one more ...... of them?"

"Ahem......" Wang Chuyi suddenly coughed softly.

Qiu Chuji was reminded of this and suddenly came to his senses. How could the decision of the five of their brothers and sisters to send Yang Guo away just after they had just discussed it? If Yang Guo's situation happened again a few days ago, it would really be an accident, thinking of this, he didn't dare to say anything about it.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of his senior brother, Wang Chuyi took over the words and said to Yang Guo: "Since you want to leave, we won't keep you." The tomb is a few miles away from here, so you can come and see it at any time. ”

After Yang Guo nodded in response, Wang Chuyi said again: "Let's go, let's go and see you off." ”

Yang Guo didn't dare to say anything, but the five sons of Quanzhen insisted on sending each other. Yang Guo didn't dare to refuse, so he had to go out with his five sons.

As soon as the six of them reached the intersection, a fourth-generation disciple had already led a big yellow horse over, and the yellow horse was still swaying the horse's head and was very impatient, but when he saw the person in front of him, he suddenly raised his front hooves and shouted "Herod" and shouted happily.

"Yellow Thin" Yang Guo was overjoyed when he heard it, and thought that he had forgotten it, so he hurriedly turned around.

"You horse is not easy to take care of, and you have broken a lot of things in the past few days. If you leave, take it with you. Wang Chuyi said.

"Thank you for the real person" Yang Guogang thanked Wang Chu, and Huang Shou had already rushed to the front. Arched Yang Guo with the horse's head.

Yang Guo and Huang Shou made love for a while, and when they saw that the five sons of Quanzhen were all smiling and watching on the side, they were embarrassed to make them wait for a long time, so they stopped Huang Shou's affectionate momentum and said to the five sons: "I have caused trouble to a few real people, and the disciple is ashamed." However, when the disciple returned to the tomb this time, the horses could not be placed. But I still have to continue to work hard and take care of you. ”

Wang Chu replied: "But I didn't think about it, it's okay." Then leave it behind, and take it with you when you need it. ”

Yang Guo took a lot of trouble to appease Huang Shou for the time being, and then said goodbye to the five sons of Quanzhen one by one and went down the mountain.

The five sons of Quan Zhen watched the thin figure on the mountain road gradually move away, and it took a long time to retract their gaze.

"I've grown up," Qiu Chuji sighed slightly.

"People always have to grow up in the world, but it's just a difference between growing up early or growing up late. Wang Chuyi was also deeply touched.

"Yes, great disasters and great pains can inspire people's minds and force them to grow as quickly as possible, which is also inevitable, as long as they survive it. Qiu Chuji took over and said.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go back. Liu Chuxuan stopped talking and turned around first.

In the blink of an eye, there was only a poor fourth-generation disciple sweating profusely left at the intersection of the mountainside, still desperately pulling Huang Thin, and bitterly persuading the stubborn horse with a bad temper to return to the stable quickly.

Yang Guo came down the mountain, without any delay, turned the mountain road, through the woods, the distance of several miles is not worth mentioning in terms of his cultivation today, and in an instant, the stone gate of the ancient tomb is already in front of him.

He was about to activate the tomb door mechanism, when he heard the familiar sound of footsteps coming from behind him, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, turned around, and waited quietly.

When the person came around a mountain col, he appeared, and when he saw the person in front of the tomb, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and shouted softly: "Pass?"

Yang Guo strode over, opened his arms, hugged the visitor, and said happily: "Mother-in-law, Guo'er misses you to death"

The person who came was undoubtedly Grandma Sun, she was full of joy written on her face, and she couldn't stop saying: "It's finally back, it's good to be back, it's good to be back."

After experiencing the difference between life and death, Yang Guo was more easily moved by emotion, and at this time he was a little embarrassed, and he refused to let go after hugging Granny Sun, but Granny Sun shouted anxiously: "Hey, look at you child, let go, the dishes will be squeezed by you."

Yang Guo let go of Grandma Sun and looked at her hand with a smile, but it was a cabbage, and there were pieces of ice ridges on the leaves.

Yang Guo saw that her hands were red from the cold, so he took the cabbage casually, stretched out his other hand to hold her hand, and said with a smile: "Let Guo'er warm her mother-in-law's hands." ”

Grandma Sun was held by him, and then she felt that her hands were really cold, so she hurriedly withdrew her hand and said, "Hey, no, no, now that you are back, one dish is not enough, you wait here for a while, I will go and get another one." ”

"I'll go with my mother-in-law. Yang Guo was in a different mood this time, only to feel that the things that he felt very boring in the past were now full of interest, and the more mundane and trivial things were, the more real and meaningful they made him feel.

Grandma Sun dug up another cabbage in a small cellar behind the col, and then the two turned around and entered the tomb together.

Yang Guo held a cabbage in one hand, walked slowly and happily, his mouth never closed, he was answering Grandma Sun's questions, all about some trivial things about him eating and drinking Lazar, but he didn't feel the slightest impatience, but his heart was warm.

Outside the tomb, no matter how much scenery he has and how much he has achieved, once he returns to the tomb, it has nothing to do with him, and the only thing that relatives care about is his safe return.

"Mother-in-law, where is my aunt?" Along the way, Yang Guo kept looking around, waiting for Grandma Sun's questioning to stop for a while, he couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly interjected and asked.

"Pick the seeds in the room. Grandma Sun replied casually, and then asked him questions, and seeing that he answered a little absent-mindedly, she feigned anger and said: "After having an aunt, you don't want to pay attention to me, an old woman, okay, you don't have to pretend to be obedient anymore, give me the food, go to your aunt." ”

Yang Guo handed over the dish with a smile, and refused to admit his guilt: "How can there be?

After a few more words, Yang Guo was sent away by Grandma Sun, he turned around and walked towards his room, of course, his room is also the living room of Xiaolongnu, since he practiced with the cold jade bed, the master and apprentice have been getting along with each other.

In the corridor, the bright light spread out from the door of a stone room, and a slightly swaying shadow was reflected on the opposite stone wall, Yang Guo's eyes softened at this moment, and his ears only felt empty, and his heart was like a clear stream flowing briskly.

At this moment, there was no killing at the head of the city, no calculation against the enemy, and no sadness at the loss of loved ones, only quiet, warm and beautiful.

"Is it over?" heard the gentle voice of the shadow master in the stone chamber.

Yang Guo hurriedly answered and walked quickly to the door.

The woman in white in the room was deftly picking in a porcelain plate, and the flower seeds on a plate were divided into two piles in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that Yang Guo was just standing at the door, the little dragon girl waved her hand lightly and said, "Come here." "To be continued
