Volume 2: Yun Ji Cang Hai Chapter 481: Paying Off
…
The lights in front of the mourning hall were brightly lit, and many men, women and children dressed in mourning clothes raised their heads at this moment and looked into the courtyard with tearful eyes. The visitor was dressed in a gray Taoist robe, with cloud shoes on his feet, and his demeanor was extraordinary. This was a young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, but his face was expressionless at this time. He looked at the spirit tablet blankly, stopped slowly, and looked up to the sky with a long sigh.
"I'm still late..." Lin Yi, who had come all the way, felt uneasy and uneasy before he arrived at the county town. Yuan Qing's house was completely pristine, how could it be hidden from his consciousness. Seventy-three years have passed since the last separation. I was afraid that something would happen to Yuan Qing, so I hurried here. Who would have thought, I would still be a step too late.
An intellectual guest came forward to greet him, bowed his hands, and then shouted loudly: "Guests, please come forward to pay homage..."
He seemed to be awakened by the shouting, and was startled for a moment. Lin Yi was about to speak when he saw an old man with white beard wearing linen and filial piety coming forward. He looked him up and down. He couldn't help but take a step back and asked in a surprised voice: " Can your surname be Lin?"
Lin Yi didn't pay attention to the old man's expression, but looked at the black coffin silently. Lying in the coffin was an old man with a bright head, his eyes closed tightly, and he had a somewhat majestic expression, and he still looked like Yuan Qing when he was young. Who would have thought that seventy-three would have passed by when I turned around, and that our farewell after drinking that day would become an eternal farewell...
"But Master Uncle is currently...?" When the old man asked again, his expression became nervous.
Hearing the sound, Lin Yi turned around and his eyes fell on the jade pendant hidden on the other person's chest. The child with a yellow mouth yesterday has become an old man looking back. He nodded slowly and said: "I am Lin Yi, you are Yuan Qing's eldest son, Yuan Yi...?"
"Ah! Sure enough, my uncle is here..." The old man exclaimed, fell to his knees with a plop, and cried: "I am Yuan Yi, and my father kept talking about you before he died..." He Before the crying stopped, many descendants of Yuan Qing gathered around him and knelt together in front of the mourning hall. Suddenly, there was loud crying in Yuan Mansion.
He had never encountered such a situation before. Looking at Yuan Qing's family members in grief and the sincerity shown when they visited him, Lin Yi was at a loss and his eyes suddenly turned red.
When Yuan Qing, the young man who kept talking and laughing all day long, determined to make a career in Daxia, no one could have imagined what would happen in the future. After decades of ups and downs, in the blink of an eye, he has spread his branches here and achieved everything that belongs to him.
How lucky you are to have this life!
After a slight sigh, Lin returned to normal. He walked to the soul, poured down three glasses of sake, and then turned around. Looking at the crying people in front of him, he pondered for a long time before saying: "Please forgive me and accept the change!"
Yuan Yi hurriedly got up from the ground, cupped his hands and said, "It's rare for my uncle to come home once, please stay for a few days..." Seeing Lin nodded in agreement, he hurriedly led the way...
There was no one else in a quiet room in the backyard, only Yuan Yi was accompanying his great uncle.
Lin Yi looked at the scroll on the wall in a daze. It was a sea-going ship plowing through the waves, with four people standing on it facing the wind, all of whom were painted lifelike. The two people standing in front were Zhen Yuanzi and Lin Yi, and on the side were Yuan Qing and Yuan Feng.
"With the blessing of my great uncle, my Lanlingyuan family came into being... My parents have mentioned more than once that you are an immortal, and you have hugged me with your own hands... Every time I drink, my father always says, you Why haven't you come to see him... and I painted this portrait, and spent an hour or two every day looking at it, telling my children and grandchildren not to forget the great Shang, and not to forget the appearance of my great-uncle..." Already seventy Yuan Yi, who was many years old, was crying like a child behind Lin Yi.
Lin Yi turned around and was filled with emotion. He didn't know how to comfort Yuan Yi, so he sighed and said, "It's been seventy-three years since we've been apart. I didn't expect it... I wonder when your father will be buried?"
"It was supposed to be buried tomorrow, but before he died, my father said that he wanted to go home. He wanted my uncle to take him home..." Yuan Yi looked hesitant.
After thinking about it, Lin Yi said: "There is no need to bury the bones in a graveyard. There are green mountains everywhere in life! It is better to let your father accompany your mother. The whole family must have a place to worship. I will go back and set up a memorial ceremony for Yuan Qing. A tomb can fulfill his wish!"
Yuan Yi nodded in agreement and praised his great uncle for his thoughtfulness. Lin Yi added: "You can organize the funeral and don't worry about me. I will go see him when you leave..."
Three days later, Lin Yi called Yuan Yi, left dozens of jade charms for him, and took away a set of Yuan Qing's clothes. He told the other party not to show off, and then left quietly...
Outside the county town, in front of the tomb where Yuan Qing and Xie Shirong were buried together, Lin Yi sat silently for a day and drank in silence. When night fell, he said, Yuan Qing, come home with me!
The autumn night was windy, and a whimpering sound blew in front of the grave...
…
At dawn five days later, Lin Yi arrived at Beiji Island. This is the largest island north of Daxia and is a must-visit place on your way home. He didn't want to revisit his old place, not to mention that it had been a sad place.
Divine consciousness spread across the pier and the market town, and the figures of several monks appeared. As soon as Lin came to the door of a courtyard, a red light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said: "The person from the Shu Guan accident is here to visit——" His words were not loud, but they passed through the formation of the courtyard and were sent to several people inside. In the ears of a monk.
In the morning light, the light flashing in front of the courtyard door is very eye-catching. Immediately, a qi-training monk opened the courtyard door. Perhaps a senior had arrived, and the people in the courtyard did not dare to neglect him, so someone came out to greet him. Unexpectedly, before the Qi Practitioner could speak, someone grabbed him and flew him up.
The unlucky monk had no time to struggle. He only felt that the scenery in front of him changed and he was already in a forest. But the person standing in front of him was actually a young man, whose cultivation was unfathomable, which made people feel fearful.
The qi-training monk hurriedly told the truth about what he knew and handed over his identity jade token. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the other party turn into a breeze and leave. An hour later, a transmission note from Ji Haizong made the man who was about to return to his residence break out in a cold sweat, and immediately gave up the idea of telling others what he had experienced.
Guanshi Shu of Ji Haizong was killed. A monk who was in the middle stage of foundation building was sneaked into Jihaifeng's protective formation by his enemies and was killed silently in his retreat cave. It is said that there is a sentence left in the cave: Those who care about human life will die...
After the incident happened to Ji Haifeng, everyone in Ji Haizong was helpless. His sect master was only in the late stage of foundation building and did not dare to make mistakes, so he had to strictly guard his disciples...
With the help of a qi-training monk's identity jade token, Lin Yi quietly sneaked into Jihaifeng. After killing someone, Lin Yi left alone. The person he wanted to kill most was that Suma, but he still failed. Time is a ruthless knife that makes people grow old and kills them.
Flying all the way north, when he encountered the island, Lin Yi stopped to rest for a while before continuing forward.
Half a month later, on the Sanshui Peak of Huzhu Island, in front of the family owner's cave, a strange wind blew by, and then a figure appeared out of thin air. It was Lin Yi who had escaped from the wind.
There is a touch of spiritual energy all around, and the scenery here is not bad! Lin Yi clasped his hands behind his back and looked around, like a man enjoying the scenery. However, there was a hint of weariness in his expression.
It's really tiring to just use wind escape to travel. But before he was truly far away from Daxia, Lin Yi still didn't want to fly with his sword. Perhaps, after leaving this Xuzhu Island, you can feel more relaxed!
Sensing the movement behind him, Lin Yi turned around. After a burst of clouds and mist, an old man walked out of the cave, with a look of surprise on his face. He raised his hands and said, "I don't know if Zheng has come to welcome the distinguished guest." He then asked with doubts, "Fellow Taoist, no invitation. Jilai, it is already disrespectful to break into my forbidden cultivation area..."
"Are you Zheng Qingquan?" Lin Yi's expression was a little indifferent, as if he was talking to a passerby.
The old man held his long beard in his hand and looked at the uninvited guest up and down again, but he couldn't see through the other person's true cultivation level. His face darkened and he said: "I am Zheng Qingquan, the head of the Zheng family. I don't know where my friend is from, and what is his name? Please note that Elder Wei Congwei of the Black Mountain Sect has a close relationship with my family..."
Seeing the old man's bluffing look, Lin Yi raised his hand and threw a jade slip over, saying, "It's good if it's you! Wei Cong is just a villain who deceived his master, destroyed his ancestors, and betrayed the sect! You and I are nothing but the same breed!"
"This is my wife's letter..." Putting down the jade slip in his hand, Zheng Qingquan looked at the young man in front of him in shock and asked, "Are you..." The other person raised the corner of his mouth coldly and said, "I am Lin Yi!”
