Volume 2: Yun Ji Cang Hai Chapter 492: Memorial Ceremony
I, Lin Yiyi, have descendants? Such a big family are all descendants of me, Lin Yi! After listening to Tianfu's brief description, Lin Yi was so excited that he couldn't calm down. He stood up and bowed to Cui'er. ""(.)
"Brother! What are you doing? You are traveling abroad, and my sister has the responsibility of guarding the house. Fortunately, I finally handed over this family to you..." There was a hint of complaint after the first few sentences, but later on , Cui Er covered her face with her hands and started sobbing.
"Get up later!" After saying something loudly, Lin Yi walked slowly to Cui'er's side, took her hand and turned to face everyone, saying in a deep voice: "I, Lin Yi, have left home as a young man, and in the blink of an eye, I am already seven years old. Eighteen years. After countless ups and downs, I still miss this homeland! There is my family here, and there is a family relationship that I can’t let go! I am doomed to live alone in the world, and I am doomed to have regrets that are beyond the ordinary world. But please spread the incense of the Lin family to me as a filial piety, and I, Lin Yi, are inexplicably grateful."
After saying this, regardless of everyone's astonishment, Lin Yi gave a solemn salute to the descendants below! In the hall and courtyard, people fell to their knees again. With tears in her eyes, Cui'er helped her eldest brother up, while Tianfu bowed down along with his master.
Suddenly, there was a sigh of relief inside and outside the house. After a while, the ceremony was over. Lin Yi put his hands behind his back and said in a loud voice: "As a descendant of my Lin family, I will guarantee the peace for thousands of years!"
…
In any case, the head of the Lin Mansion is back. After a lot of work, some of the younger generation would inevitably have doubts about their grandfather’s youthful appearance, but their grandma said, “My eldest brother is an immortal!”
At Jie Feng's family dinner, Cui'er and Tian Fu were accompanying her, and the four grandchildren of the Lin family toasted enthusiastically, making Lin Yi look a bit like the head of the family. The four grandchildren are named Lin Ping, Lin An, Lin Ru and Lin Yi respectively. The names are simple and easy to remember but also have metaphorical meaning. Praying for the safety of the Lin family should be my grandmother's wish.
Everyone came to toast. When he got up, Lin Yi grabbed a dozen wine jars. His four grandsons were so surprised that their eyes widened. While they were amazed by their grandfather's skills, they all covered the small wine glasses in their hands. , the face is bitter. Until the end, there was only one person at the wine table who kept drinking and laughing...
…
In the backyard of the Lin Mansion, two quiet rooms were specially set aside for Lin Yi and Tianfu to live, but the master and disciple could not take any time off.
In the next two days, Lin Cuier's disciples and grandsons came to pay their respects. And her husband's family, the descendants of the Tu family next door, will inevitably come to visit the grandma's natal family. Suddenly, Lin Mansion was very lively. The head of the Lin family spoke so many words and drank so much wine for the first time in his life...
On the third day after Lin Yi returned home, a large group of people from the Lin family were taken to the Lin family ancestral hall by Lin Cuier, and then to the Lin family cemetery.
When paying homage to his parents, Lin Yi was no longer alone. When he led his descendants to bow down, his heart felt less desolate than in the past and more joyful than he had ever felt before. Many descendants have continued the incense of the Lin family. At that moment, he felt as if he had gone through a lifetime of reincarnation, with invisible shackles slowly breaking, and his mind suddenly felt inexplicably relaxed.
After working for a long time, the juniors dispersed on their own. But Tianfu had the elixir given by his master and used the excuse to go back to meditate. Only the brother and sister were left talking in the garden.
Today's Xiaotian'ao is different from the past. The Lin family not only has a magnificent ancestral hall, but also the cemetery is surrounded by pines and cypresses, quiet and solemn. All this and so on were all done by that little girl back then!
Looking at the silver-haired Cui'er in front of him, Lin Yi said softly: "My sister has worked hard these years..."
Seeing that her eldest brother had been alone in silence for a long time, but he said such a sentence, Cui'er showed a rare tenderness and complained: "Don't say anything to others... I will take you to see Mr. Su!" She held Lin's arm. Holding one's arm, the two walked towards the west mountain of the col.
On the mountain road, an old woman and a young man wearing Taoist robes walked side by side. The old woman is energetic and the young man has an easy-going smile.
Just like the scene when she followed her elder brother to the mountains to collect herbs, Cui Er's face was filled with a comfortable smile. As if the girl was still a child, Lin Yi slowed down just to listen to her words...
This is the place where Cui'er practiced her sword. The withered and yellow weeds shivered in the cold wind, showing the desolation of winter. On the cliff to the east, there are two tombs standing quietly. I don't know if they are overlooking the small col or looking into the distance.
"This is Mr. Su, that is Sister Su..." Pointing to the tombstone, Cui'er said: "Sister Su is both talented and beautiful! When she was alive, she was the closest to me..."
Lin Yi walked to Mr. Su's grave and bowed! After a while, his eyes fell on Su Xueyun's tombstone nearby, and a hint of sadness flashed across his expression!
"Mr. Su, Xiaoyi has invited you to drink!" He took out a jar of wine and poured it down. After that, he raised his head and drank the remaining wine. Then he came to Su Xueyun's grave and breathed out a breath of wine. Lin Cuier said from the side: "When Sister Su came here..."
Back then, when Su Xueyun went to Xiaotian'ao to reunite with her old father, there was a mixture of sadness and joy. She didn't come alone, there was a man and a woman escorting her, it was Che Hai and his wife from the Taiping Escort Bureau. It is said that when this woman came to Taiping Town alone, she found the Taiping Escort Bureau with the letter in her hand. After Che Hai and his wife saw the letter, they personally escorted her to Xiaotian'ao without saying a word.
How did a lone woman with a fairy-like appearance travel all the way from the capital? No one knows, and she herself has never mentioned it. However, Su Xueyun told her father that the person who saved her life was Lin Yi. Mr. Su was relieved and brought his daughter to thank him. Cui'er's family was very happy, and the two families have been in closer contact since then.
Lin Cui'er admired Su Xueyun's knowledge, and the latter also liked Lin Yi. The two got along very well and became a pair of good sisters.
A few years later, Mr. Su passed away, and Su Xueyun still lived in Xiaotian'ao. Apart from interacting with Lin Cui'er, she lived a secluded life and lived alone. Ten years later, she died of no disease.
It was a rainy morning in spring, and Su Xueyun was lying in her room with her clothes on. She looked peaceful, as if she was asleep, but she never woke up again.
Lin Cui'er said that there was an empty wooden box beside Sister Su's pillow, and two moon-shaped jade pendants were hanging around her neck. She was holding another jade pendant tightly in her hand, which had a few cracks on it...
...
In the days after Lin Yi returned home, two familiar figures would appear in front of the manor in Xiaotian'ao and on the small mountain path in the morning and evening.
Cui'er would pull her brother's hand and tell him about the changes in the mountain village and everything that had happened. Lin Yi drank all day, and also accompanied her sister to stroll in the mountains and talk about what he saw and heard overseas. She would ask about the stories of immortals, and her brother said that there were people who could perform magic in this world, but as for whether there were immortals, he had not found them yet!
When the winter solstice came this year, heavy snow fell in Western Xinjiang. Lin Yi did not meditate or practice in the quiet room, but imitated the appearance of ordinary people, leaning against the stove and drinking warm wine. Tianfu or Lin Ping and his brothers would also accompany him. He seldom spoke, but mostly listened and smiled.
On this day, the sky gradually darkened, and snowflakes kept falling. After finishing the family ancestor worship and the family banquet, Lin Yi returned to the quiet room in the backyard. Tianfu was thinking about the mountain gate, and followed behind his master without saying a word, with a hesitant look. At this moment, a blue cloud fell into the courtyard, and a voice rang out--
"On the night of the winter solstice, an old friend came to visit, how can there be no wine!"
...
When the blue cloud flew up again from Xiaotian'ao, there were three more people on it, Lin Yi, Tianfu and Lin Cui'er.
On the night of the winter solstice, Mu Qing'er came. She said: "Xuanyuan Temple is so prosperous, it is also a blessing to witness it in person!"
...
In the snowy winter night, you can see sparks on the top of the immortal from afar. When I flew closer, I saw many disciples holding torches standing shoulder to shoulder from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, forming a fire dragon on the stone steps, which was spectacular. The Xuanyuan Temple was even more crowded and brightly lit.
Blue clouds descended from the sky, and four figures suddenly appeared in the snow, startling the solemn Xuanyuan Temple. In the surprised eyes of everyone, Lin Yi led the three people behind him into the hall. The elders who were waiting came forward to greet them, and Daoheng stepped out and stood on the stone steps in front of the hall.
This disciple of Tianfu had a long beard, bright eyes, and a majestic look. He held his head high, used all his internal strength and shouted loudly: "The Xuanyuan Temple ancestor worship ceremony begins--"
