Volume 2: Yun Ji Cang Hai Chapter 448: Deliberate Action
Lin Yi was stunned when he saw the expressions of the three people from the Dongfang family. He thought to himself that he was regarded as someone with ulterior motives. . shuhaige. com (Baidu search.,《》) He was just a casual acquaintance, but he followed him all the way for no reason and stayed here. You know, this is an immortal! If he has no ulterior motives... who would dare to believe it? After a while, he was not annoyed, but smiled suddenly, waved his hand and said: "If it is inconvenient, Lin will leave now..."
"I am sorry..." Halfway through the words, Mr. Dongfang struggled with his expression and slowly bowed down. This is to see the guests off! Dongfang Yan beside him was slightly surprised, but did not dare to say much, so he could only sigh. Dongfang Shuo was anxious and said hurriedly: "I will follow the immortal..."
Lin Yi said softly: "Old gentleman is right, I came here not unintentionally, but was entrusted by someone..."
"Entrusted by someone? Immortal... Can you tell me the details?" Mr. Dongfang raised his head, and the three of them were stunned.
After considering the words, Lin Yi said: "Dongfang Saint has been away from home for many years and has been worried about him, so he asked me to come and visit... No matter how you suspect, I have solved his worries for him..."
"Is my ancestor still here? Where is he?" Mr. Dongfang broke free from the support and asked in surprise. The two younger generations beside him looked at each other, both shocked. That was the ancestor of the Dongfang family... Could it be that the sad past was true...
The kind face of the white-haired old man appeared in front of him, and Lin Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "In a place you have no way of knowing!"
Even if he mentioned the Zhengyang Sect in Guiling Valley, it was useless. It was not a place that ordinary people could find. Sure enough, Mr. Dongfang no longer asked about the whereabouts of his ancestors. He just turned around in circles, muttering like a lost soul: "The ancestors are still here, the ancestors are still here... and my Dongfang family is in such a situation... Ancestor... why don't you come in person?" He looked at Lin Yi, his expression changing.
How do I know why he didn't come! If it weren't for a strange combination of circumstances, how could I have come here! Lin Yi shook his head secretly and said to Mr. Dongfang who was in a trance: "Do you believe what I said? Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you and have some intentions?"
As if he suddenly came to his senses, Mr. Dongfang said hurriedly: "No! No! No! Outsiders will never know the name of my ancestor... Besides, since you are an immortal... This, I am being rude!" As he said this, he was about to apologize for being rude again, but Lin Yi held him up with his hand.
"Why do you and your family keep your ancestor secret? When I return one day, if I tell you the truth about the situation here, I am not afraid that your ancestor will be unhappy?" Lin Yi expressed his doubts at the right time.
Hearing the voice, Mr. Dongfang hesitated, turned around and looked at his two grandsons, sighed and said: "Well! Immortal Lin, follow me to the ancestral hall!"
...
The moonlight was bright, and the four of them came to the ancestral hall of the Dongfang family in the backyard in a short while, and then they remembered that no family members were accompanying them. Looking at the rusty door lock, Mr. Dongfang was about to call the old family member Xiaoshu, but was stopped by Lin Yi. He flicked the door lock a few feet away and it opened.
With a "creaking" sound, the dust accumulated over the years fell straight down, and the door of the ancestral hall was opened. Before Dongfang Shuo could find candles, a few rays of light flew out from Lin Yi's fingertips, and the candles on the altar were lit, illuminating the room.
With the candles, he lit a few incense sticks. Mr. Dongfang, with a solemn expression, bowed slowly to the many tablets and kowtowed three times. Dongfang Shuo and his sister did not dare to neglect it, and they also knelt behind him and bowed three times solemnly.
Silently watching the family kowtow, Lin Yi stepped forward, picked up three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner, and bowed his hands. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were all grateful, and they returned the gifts and thanked him. Afterwards, Mr. Dongfang said, "Did Immortal Lin see the tablet with its back turned?" Seeing the other party nod, he said, "It's inconvenient here. Please follow me to the courtyard to talk."
In a pavilion in the backyard, four people sat guarding a stone table. Under the moonlight, the old courtyard looked even more vicissitudes and lonely, as if telling the old story together...
The ancestor of the Dongfang family, that is, Lin Yi's Dongfang Sheng senior brother, was fond of immortality in his youth and had achieved some success in middle age. When the family business was at its peak, he went into the mountains to seek the way, regardless of his parents' age, and abandoned his wife and children. As a result, the Dongfang family was in chaos. Within a few years, his parents passed away one after another, and his depressed wife passed away, leaving behind only a teenage son and a huge family business.
This son of Dongfang Sheng, due to lack of discipline, indulged in eating, drinking, gambling and all kinds of evil, and his family's financial situation gradually declined. In addition, he was exhausted by alcohol and sex, and he died before middle age, leaving behind only a young wife and a young son. The family's financial situation was getting worse and worse, and the mother and daughter had a hard time. The grandson of Dongfang Sheng suffered all kinds of hardships at a young age. As the child grew up, he blamed all the misfortunes on the cruel grandfather and turned his tablet to face the ancestors as a punishment. Not only that, he left a word for future generations, saying that all monks are cold and unfeeling people and should be abandoned. However, the fact that a god appeared in the Dongfang family was passed down behind the scenes.
Some people also said that the ancestor had left a box with the secrets of becoming an immortal! In Mr. Dongfang's generation, I'm afraid only he himself knew the truth of those rumors. Unexpectedly, the world goes round and round, and a grandson who likes immortality appeared in the family, so the old man kept that past event secret. And Dongfang Shuo was very persistent. Not only did he make many Taoist friends, but he also showed off his immortal family background everywhere. In this way, there were all kinds of things later...
The moon was in the middle of the sky, the night was boundless, and a past event passed away with the wind.
After saying goodbye to the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, Lin Yi walked to the guest room alone in the moonlight.
According to Mr. Dongfang's statement and his own guess, that past event had indeed passed for more than 400 years. And what did the white-haired old man of Zhengyang Sect say... He left home when he was young, and turned to his old age... There was no hope of building a foundation.
People! The older they get, the more nonsense they talk! This Senior Brother Dongfang? It should be Senior Dongfang! Perhaps it was a sudden impulse, and he never thought that he would be hunted and come here by chance. He just pretended to entrust him with something, and it was just a joke! However, the old man's expression when he mentioned his family did not seem to be false, nor should it be false.
More than four hundred years have passed, and Dongfang Sheng's cultivation should be at the Jindan stage. I really didn't expect that Zhengyang Sect still has such a master!
After Lin Yi came to his own courtyard, he did not enter the house, but stood there thinking for a while, and his figure slowly disappeared...
...
After the Dongfang family knew the true identity of Mr. Lin, they had no intention of seeing him off, but invited him to live in the backyard.
After learning about the past, Lin Yi, who was also a cultivator, could easily understand the hardships and difficulties involved. Therefore, he said a few good words for Dongfang Sheng. The road to the fairyland is long, but he can't help but miss his hometown, so that his Tao heart is unstable and he has become ill from overwork. He entrusted others to return home to visit, etc., etc., which made Mr. Dongfang go to the ancestral hall to burn a few incense sticks and shed a few drops of muddy tears. After returning, he will regard himself as a junior.
The old gentleman's knot has been resolved, Lin Yi is happy to see it, but this elder doesn't dare to be. He still calls him old gentleman, and the other party respectfully calls him a little friend, and they live in peace with each other, which is enough!
The title of immortal is not good! Not only that, Lin Yi also said that he would live in seclusion here for a period of time, not allowing others to know about this, and not revealing his identity, otherwise, it would bring a huge disaster to himself and the Dongfang family. The Dongfang brothers and sisters were not surprised, but very happy.
Dongfang Shuo was excited that there was a chance to be immortal, but Dongfang Yan's bright smile made people guess!
Lin Yi had killed many people and obtained a lot of elixirs, including some elixirs for strengthening the foundation and nourishing the essence. He found a few bottles of elixirs that could be used by mortals and gave them to Mr. Dongfang and Dongfang Yan, which made Dongfang Shuo jealous and kept following behind him and calling him Master.
After taking the elixir, Mr. Dongfang gradually became stronger, and Dongfang Yan also became more and more bright and clear. The old and the young came to thank him with joy. Lin Yi pretended that it was the intention of Dongfang Sheng, which made the grandfather and grandson sigh.
Dongfang Shuo still pestered him, but Lin Yi ignored him and hid in the attic in the backyard to meditate alone. He was in the backyard, not far from the residence of the Dongfang family. It was very quiet with birds singing and flowers blooming all around. But Mr. Dongfang couldn't bear it anymore and came to the attic to ask for an interview in person.
Lin Yi sat cross-legged on a wooden couch in the attic. Mr. Dongfang, who was in high spirits, sat at the round table opposite, and the Dongfang brother and sister were next to him.
Mr. Dongfang held a jade box about one foot long in his arms and said, "Although my ancestor was hated by his descendants, the things he left behind were passed down from generation to generation and have been buried in this old house." He stood up, sighed, raised the jade box in his hand, walked to Lin Yi, and pleaded, "No one can recognize what is hidden in it, so why not give it to you today, so that it can be put to good use! But..."
