The master and his apprentice stopped in front of the stone with the two characters "forbidden land" engraved on it. -Tianfu said that this is a forbidden land of the Taoist temple, and no one except the temple master and several elders can enter. Lin Yi nodded and his expression became solemn.
Beside the pond, in the valley, there is a thatched hut and several tombs. The wormwood around was blown by the wind, adding a bit of chill.
The tomb of Xuanyuan Patriarch, the tomb of Qingyunzi, the tomb of Hong'an, and the tomb of Yuanfeng!
Walking directly to the tomb of Master Qingyunzi, Lin Yi slowly knelt down and whispered: "Master, Xiaoyi is here to see you..." The last one knocked his head to the ground. He didn't get up for a long time, letting the tears burst out...
Lin Yi, who had endured for decades, relaxed at this moment. He had too many grievances that no one could tell, and too many pains that he could only endure. He wished that someone could share everything in the past...
Tianfu knelt behind him, and seeing his master's shoulders shaking with grief, his old tears flowed out. He opened his mouth, swallowed the words of comfort, and could only sigh secretly.
After an incense stick, Lin Yi stood up, with a look of inexplicable ease. He kowtowed to the tomb of Xuanyuan Patriarch a few times, and when he stood up, he also returned to normal.
He took off the gourd from his waist and sprinkled a circle of sake in front of the tomb. Lin Yi walked to Hong'an's tomb, patted the tombstone, shook his head and said nothing. He sat down in front of Yuanfeng's tomb and asked, "When did Yuanfeng pass away?"
When he was at the mountain gate, Lin Yi saw Yuanfeng's tombstone in his consciousness and felt quite regretful.
"Brother Yuan has passed away for twenty years. With his cultivation, he shouldn't have..." Tianfu said to his master.
In the past few decades, foreigners have repeatedly invaded the border in the northern border, and the tribes on the grassland have always been undisciplined, so the border of Dashang is in chaos. Emperor Hongtai naturally refused to give up, so he sent troops to attack, but he was defeated again and again. As a last resort, the court recruited troops and horses, and even summoned heroes from the rivers and lakes to resist foreign enemies together. Regardless of the intention, Yuan Feng realized something was wrong when the edict was passed to Xuanyuan Temple, which was gaining fame.
Having seen the battles of troops and horses on the grassland, the masters of the rivers and lakes were not needed at all. Yuan Feng knew that this was a plan of the court to kill two birds with one stone, but he was helpless. Hongan was afraid, thinking that this was a plan of the emperor against him, so he could only beg Yuan Feng to help on behalf of the Taoist temple to avoid giving people an excuse to use his personal power and betray the court.
If you gain something, you must lose something. Xuanyuan Temple has received a lot of benefits from the court, and it is time to give back!
During the ten years of fierce fighting on the border, countless people from the martial arts world shed blood on the battlefield. The crisis in Dashang was alleviated, many martial arts sects obeyed, and Yuanfeng also returned with a body full of pain.
Xuanyuan Temple has made contributions to the country, which makes Hongan really relieved. However, Yuanfeng's long-standing pain is difficult to heal, and he died in his seventies...
Seeing the master's gloomy expression, Tianfu changed the subject and said, "If my master's aunt knew that you were back, she would be so happy!"
Startled, Lin Yi asked, "Your master's aunt?"
"Haha! It's Master Cui'er! She came to Xuanyuan Temple a few years after you left, but she bullied me a lot... Now she is old and walks less..." Tianfu said.
Cui'er has an innate cultivation, and her muscles, bones, and meridians are very different from ordinary people. As long as there is no accident, she will definitely be in the world. Lin Yi thought so when he saw Tianfu. Now that he could confirm it in person, his depressed heart was much relieved.
He stood up and looked around. Xuanyuan Temple had changed a lot, but the place in front of him was still the same as when he left. Seeing Tianfu with silver beard and silver hair standing respectfully beside him, Lin Yi sighed and asked, "I don't know where the tomb of Taoist Wu is..." The other party replied, "My father studied medicine all his life and gained some fame. After his death, he was welcomed back to his hometown by his family for burial..."
"Great!" Lin Yi nodded affirmatively, turned to the straw shed, and sat down cross-legged. He raised his hand to take down the Qingyun Sword. The long sword was unsheathed, flashing with cold light, and still sharp.
"Master, this sword is the treasure of Xuanyuan Temple and the token of the master of the temple. When Senior Brother Yuanfeng wanted to appreciate it, I didn't let him..." Tianfu smiled aside.
After sheathing the sword, Lin Yi smiled gently and said, "This time, I will leave a real treasure for Xuanyuan Temple..."
"Master is leaving..." Tianfu's expression was reluctant. Lin Yi pondered for a moment and said, "There are always some things that must be settled personally... However, I will stay for a while, perhaps three to five years..."
"Master, I have something to ask..." Tianfu was surprised and happy, and then begged, "My life span is short, I just want to be with you before I die, I hope you will do it..." As he said that, he actually knelt down, and seemed to be unwilling to get up.
After thinking for a while, Lin Yi asked, "If you are not in the Taoist temple..." Before he finished speaking, Tianfu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master, don't worry, your disciples are all adults..."
"Master, disciples have something to report..." Someone in the distance was shouting loudly to the master, Tianfu ignored him, just kneeled on the ground and stared at Lin Yi.
"Get up..." Lin Yi flicked his sleeves, and Tianfu had to stand up. He bowed and took a step back, then turned around and shouted angrily: "Come in with me..."
Tianfu saw that Lin Yi was a little moved, and he was thinking that if he begged a few more times, he might be able to get his wish, but he didn't expect someone to interrupt him. His eyes widened, and he was so majestic that the seven Taoist priests who ran in were so frightened that they slowed down their pace, bowed and saluted from a distance, and said, "Meet the Master!" Meet Uncle Master!
These seven people were all sixty or seventy years old. They acted like children in front of Tianfu and did not dare to express their anger. But some people didn't appreciate it. They were so angry that they stamped their feet and cursed: "You bastards, why don't you wait for the master to be here and bow down..."
After Tianfu finished scolding him, he was afraid of being rude, so he turned around and said with a ashamed look: "Master, these five are my incompetent disciples, and those two are disciples of Senior Brother Yuanfeng. They are all dull people. You, old man, don't To be surprised..."
These seven people were also a lot of their age. They didn't care about being scolded by Tianfu like this. Instead, they all looked at the thatched shed.
A disciple reported that the founder of Xuanyuan Temple had returned to the mountain, and the old temple master Tian Yuanzi personally knelt down in front of the mountain gate to welcome him. This matter has spread all over the Immortal Summit. The seven elders of the Taoist temple can't sit still. Two of them who were in retreat were also alarmed and hurriedly gathered together to ask for a meeting so that they could distinguish the authenticity.
In the thatched shed, there was a young man sitting in a gray Taoist robe. He looked like he was in his early twenties. He had long hair shawl, but he had a weird Taoist bun with a white dragon hairpin on his face. There is also a wine gourd tied to it, making the whole person look elegant and unruly. His eyebrows were like daggers, his eyes were distant and distant, with an inexplicable smile on his face, and he was looking at the people who were at a loss.
"Haha, let the person from outside the forbidden area come in! He didn't ask you to wait and bring the message..." Lin Yi smiled nonchalantly. These seven people should be the backbone of Xuanyuan Guan. They are all high-ranking and powerful people. Even if they have the intention to worship, they still have doubts. Maybe they will also question Lin Yi’s origins!
However, Tianfu's prestige was so great that these old men still knelt down obediently. However, I still have doubts in my mind. How could Master be so young?
"Daoheng, are you deaf? Didn't you hear Master's instructions?" Tianfu shouted angrily again. An old man with half a hair and a beard quickly got up and left. After a while, another old man was brought in. , it is the good man Mei Dashan in front of the mountain gate.
"I am Mei Shan from Meijia Restaurant in Taiping Town. I was saved by a Taoist priest when I was young..." The old man bowed his hands and saluted. Before he finished speaking, someone asked: "Mei Zhongwen, who are you?"
"It's my father!"
"Are you the infant?"
After asking and answering questions, he was convinced of his suspicions. The old man was surprised and said: "My father said that I must not forget the life-saving grace! Xuanyuan has been watching the incense for decades, rain or shine, just to show his inner feelings. Today I can meet the Taoist Master to thank him. No regrets!" He knelt down and thanked me.
After Lin Yi left home, he rescued Mei Zhongwen and his wife from Taiping Restaurant and an infant baby on the way. There is no doubt that this old man is the baby, and he offers incense every year as a token of gratitude for his life-saving grace! Unexpectedly, the Mei family is actually a kind, grateful and grateful person.
Seeing Mei Shan kowtow and stand up, Lin Yi did not stop her and allowed her to fulfill her wish. He raised his hand and tossed it lightly and said: "Here are some life-prolonging elixirs for you. The ground is freezing and the weather is cold, so you'd better go home early!"
A jade bottle slowly flew to the front, hanging in the air without falling. Surprised, Mei Shan hurriedly stretched out her hands to take it, thanked her profusely, and then left.
"Wait and retreat!" Lin Yi said softly, looking at the seven old Taoist priests kneeling on the ground. The other side looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while. What the good person Mei Dashan said just now must be true, and the scene of the jade bottle is even more horrifying. Could it be that the young Patriarch in front of me has mastered the art of immortality?
