Chapter 850 Wei Wenbo
As soon as you enter the alley, things on both sides are immediately different.
Five-person-wide paths, low courtyard walls, farmhouses of different shapes, small rivers with bright green water, and piles of large weeping willows beside the rivers...
They are all beautiful things, there are too many of them, and most of them are just as Huan Yin remembers them. Even if there are occasional changes, the changes are not big.
It's obvious that this place is well protected. Even in some places, it can be seen that Huan Yin has deliberately repaired it, probably to preserve it as it looked when Huan Yin was there.
These things have always been memories in Huan Yin's mind, the beautiful scenery he often recalled in hell. But now, memory and reality are surprisingly similar, creating an almost perfect fit, which should be an extremely wonderful thing.
However, Huan Yin could not be happy at this moment. Because no matter how beautiful this place is, no matter how similar it is to the previous scenes, the most important thing is missing - people.
Green Willow Alley has always been a place where people live. If there were no longer the vigorous shouting of Mrs. Wang when she was selling melons, no loud chatting and laughing of Old Li next door after the meal, and no good paintings by Lu Shu hanging up for sale, would there still be traces of life here? Without traces of life, the alley has no vitality. No matter how beautiful and moving the surrounding scenery is, it is still dead.
Naturally, when Huan Yin came back this time, he never expected to see those old friends again. Because those people are mortals, they have long since died. However, Huan Yin always thought that when he came back this time, he should be able to see their descendants, which would make him feel more intimate than seeing real old friends.
Because old friends pass away and younger generations are born. This is a natural law. If everything in this world is unnatural, it will become a monster. How can we be friendly with each other?
In fact, Huan Yin didn't expect to see Green Willow Alley that was almost exactly the same as before when he came back this time. Because people are changing, the place where they live should also change. This is like life, it should be flowing, so that it can have intoxicating beauty.
As he walked and watched, Huan Yin's mood became worse and worse.
Until the end, he finally brought Zhang Tao to the door of the small courtyard where he and Ruan Shushu lived. His mood could not be worse.
"Just take one more look at this place, and then leave." Huan Yin thought in his heart. He felt that apart from this place, there was nothing more for him to miss in the entire alley, and it was not worth his time to watch.
With Zhang Tao floating around, Huan Yin passed through the small door of the courtyard and entered the courtyard. As soon as they came in, Huan Yin and Zhang Tao were surprised.
Before, they had different thoughts. One was unhappy, the other was busy discovering new things, and neither of them used their spiritual consciousness to observe their surroundings. Therefore, they didn't notice at all before entering the door. It turned out that there was a person in Huan Yin's courtyard!
This man was kneeling in the center of the courtyard, where Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu used to set the dining table when they ate in the courtyard. What he was facing was the former bedroom of Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu.
Huan Yin glanced at it with his consciousness and found that the appearance of the bedroom had not changed at all. However, the door to the bedroom was closed tightly, and it was even locked by a Taoist seal. Obviously, Huan Yin's bedroom has also been protected, and it is also a key protection target. I am afraid that no one has set foot in it in the past few hundred years.
However, there was no change in the bedroom, but there was an incense table placed at the door of the bedroom. Incense was lit on the table, candles were placed, and a spiritual tablet was placed.
The spiritual tablet reads: The spiritual position of the Patriarch of Wuliang Sect.
"He is worshiping me?" Huan Yin reacted immediately and became a little surprised. He quickly looked at the kneeling person.
And when he saw it, his eyes were fixed on that man and he couldn't move away anymore.
This person is a man who looks about twenty-one or twelve years old. He has a somewhat handsome appearance, a slender and straight body, and a good temperament. What really attracted Huan Yin about him was that Huan Yin could vaguely see a bit of Wei Qianlong's feeling in his appearance.
Huan Yin immediately thought that this young man might be Wei Qianlong's descendant. However, if he is a descendant of Wei Qianlong, he should be a member of the Qingzhou royal family, and should also be the core of the descendants of the Qingzhou Wuliang Sect. But what is he doing now, kneeling alone in Huan Yin's courtyard?
If you are paying homage to your ancestors, then there is no problem. But when the royal family worships their ancestors, which one is not grand and elegant? So, if he went to this small courtyard to worship quietly by himself, what kind of thing could it be?
Moreover, looking at the incense table, incense candles and spiritual tablets, they all look like items from a street stall, as if they were bought from a random place, or even inferior varieties temporarily transformed using Taoism. Is it too disrespectful to worship our ancestors like this?
"Sir, this boy is injured." Zhang Tao also observed for a while and said.
After a brief investigation, Huan Yin immediately discovered that what Zhang Tao said was true. Not only was this young man injured, but he was seriously injured, even his Daoji was damaged. In this way, the vitality in this young man is weak, far less than that of a normal person. And the most important thing is that his life is still passing away. If this continues, according to Huan Yin's estimation, at most half a month, this young man may die here.
The young man should obviously get up immediately and find a suitable place to recuperate his injuries, so as to save his life. However, Huan Yin clearly saw that the young man's legs were showing signs of kneeling on the hard floor, and the young man obviously did not use his Taoist skills. Therefore, this young man has been kneeling here for who knows how long. If he is asked to get up, does he look like he is about to get up?
"Is he planning to kneel down and die here?" Huan Yin suddenly had such an idea in his heart, and this idea made him even more curious about the young man in front of him.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from a distance. Listening to the sound, it was obviously a good horse galloping in Green Willow Lane, which made Huan Yin feel a little unhappy. Doing so will definitely cause damage to the alley. However, Huan Yin immediately reacted and thought that this place was so well protected, who would dare to gallop like this?
Just as I thought about this, the sound of horse hooves was already approaching. Then, Huan Yin heard the man reining in his horse, stopped, turned over and dismounted.
"Sir, do you want me to accompany you in? That guy is not honest!" Huan Yin heard such a voice again.
"No need." The answer was from a middle-aged man with a crisp voice. Then, the door of Huan Yin's small courtyard was pushed open.
The man who walked in was a middle-aged man with a broad forehead and a pointed mouth, and a gloomy face. He was wearing a black robe, and his identity was unknown. However, his cultivation level could not be hidden under Huan Yin's investigation. It was in the early stage of Life Palm.
In the early stage of Life Palm, although it was not worth mentioning to Huan Yin, for this Qingzhou City, according to Huan Yin's estimation, it should be considered an extremely powerful existence.
This man suddenly appeared in his small courtyard, obviously looking for the kneeling young man. What are the identities of the two of them, and what are they going to do today?
After the middle-aged man walked in, he observed quietly for a while, his eyes lingering on the incense table for a particularly long time, and then he finally said: "Your Highness, your filial piety is so great that you even have to set up a temporary stage to pay your respects when you get here. Ancestor."
The words were naturally addressed to the young man kneeling on the ground, but the young man did not know that he was really in trance, so he did not hear him and was still unwilling to talk to the middle-aged man in black robe. In short, the young man knelt motionless and said nothing.
When the middle-aged man saw that the young man didn't answer, his face immediately showed anger, and he said, "If you don't speak again, I will tear down your desk!"
This time, Huan Yin finally saw the young man's body trembling, then he opened his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man in black robe.
They were a pair of beautiful eyes, but Huan Yin could not see the vigor and vitality that a young man should have in them. Some are just hatred and weakness.
"Am I not even qualified to kneel and die in front of my ancestors?" The young man spoke in his completely dry voice. His voice was obviously hoarse. How could it be expected from a person of his age?
The middle-aged man suddenly laughed and said: "Yes, how could it not be? You are the current Crown Prince of Qingzhou and the successor designated by the Emperor of Qingzhou. How come you don't have this right? As long as you tell the story passed down by your ancestors, Taoism, don’t say how to die, just live how you want and let others die, that’s okay.”
The young man snorted softly, then closed his eyes again, and only said: "If the emperor hadn't been blessed with deep blessings, how could he be qualified to worship under the disciples of such a peerless person like his ancestor? All the Taoism passed down by our ancestors, They are all the supreme secrets of my Qingzhou Wuliang Sect. It is a great blessing for my descendants in Qingzhou and a great blessing for my Qingzhou Taoist Sect. But if you have obtained the Dao and don't protect it, but pass it on to outsiders, that has nothing to do with deceiving your master and destroying your ancestors. the difference?"
"Although I, Wei Wenbo, am not talented and cannot be a great weapon and cannot save Qingzhou, I will never allow myself to be manipulated by evil people like you. I don't have any of the Taoism of my ancestors here. Even if I have it, I will never do it. I will tell you even a few words! Just kill me. One day, my ancestors will avenge me, and none of you can escape!"
