Chapter 3 Former Residence

In the morning, it's a new day.

At the entrance of Sanfu Town, Gui Li and the teenager stood face to face. Xiao Hui was lying on his shoulder, and the evil beast glampant followed the teenager with a boring look.

The teenager took a look at the ghost and smiled and said, "It's rare to get together. Don't go today. I don't know when to see you again. Take care, brother."

The ghost said lightly: 'You too, don't you!'

The teenager seemed to think of something and said, "Now the world is in chaos, and the situation in the north is getting more and more tense. Doesn't it mean to go north to see the hustle and bustle?"

Gui Li was slightly surprised and couldn't help looking at the teenager. He saw that the teenager's face looked calm and seemed to have no special meaning. After meditating for a moment, he said, "Let's talk about it later!" What, are you also interested in these fights?'

The young man smiled, but did not answer. He just arched his hand and said, "The world is far away, and the world is difficult. Let's meet again."

The ghost returned the gift and said, 'Yes.'

The teenager laughed and turned away. He roared in a low voice, as if he was also aware of the monkey Xiaohui, and then followed. Xiao Hui, who was lying on Gui Li's shoulder, was quite reluctant and squeaked a few times at the back of the gluffian. In a while, the mysterious teenager and the glout had disappeared.

Gui Li looked at the direction in which their figures disappeared. He was silent for a moment, and then slowly turned around. The Sanfu Town in front of him was silent and had no vitality at all. Xiaohui snagged in his mouth. He grabbed the wine bag from behind and took a sip in his mouth. Last night, from the cellar of the pub, the monkey found some more spirits.

'Let's go! Little gray.' The ghost suddenly became so plain.

The little gray squeaked twice, and the monkey's palm was put on the ghost's hair. Gui Li's eyes looked into the distance. After a long time, he quietly said, 'After all, it's the place we lived together. Do you remember?'

The monkey didn't answer, and I don't know if he understood it, but there seemed to be a cold wind blowing over the whole cold street...

Qingyun Mountain, Dazhu Peak.

It is not easy for the first Tian of the Dazhufeng in Qingyunmen. At this moment, he is alone in the Shoujing Hall on the Dazhufeng, carrying his hands and walking back and forth. He was in a very bad mood, with a faint anger on his face and a trace of irritability. Su Ru, who had always been understanding, did not go to Dazhufeng at this moment, but went to Master Shuiyue of Xiaozhufeng. As for all the disciples, they had always been in awe of him. Seeing that Tian Buyi was in a bad mood, he had long been dodged away. Song Daren, the only big disciple who was usually reluctant to .

Tian Buyi knows what it is for. At the moment when the catastrophe of the world is in front of him, no one knows when those terrible beast demons will attack. As one of the leaders of Qingyunmen, he is naturally worried about it. However, because of this, under the repeated persuasion of his wife Su Ru, for the happiness of his disciple Song Dayen, Tian Buyi finally went to Xiaozhufeng three days ago to propose marriage to Master Shuiyue for Song Dayen and Wen Min.

Unexpectedly, Master Shuiyue didn't know what gunpowder he had eaten at that time, so he blew it up at all. He didn't even give face to Su Ru, who was present at the same time, not to mention the disciple Wen Min, who looked miserable next to him, directly refused, and coldly satirized Tian Buyi.

Tian Buyi's temperament was so angry. At the moment, he had a big quarrel with Master Shuiyue on the hill of Xiaozhufeng and almost started. Finally, Su Ru reluctantly pulled him back to Dazhufeng, and Master Shuiyue was also stopped by a group of disciples.

After coming back from this disturbance, Song Dayen was naturally extremely depressed, dejected, and his face was like a bitter gourd all day long. Tian Buyi was in a bad mood. As soon as he saw his appearance, he was even more annoyed. He scolded him several times in a row, saying that if you don't have a wife, you don't have a wife. You can concentrate on Taoism. Maybe you are still blessed by misfortune.

Song Dayen naturally did not dare to contradict his teacher, but his submissive and disapproving expression was written on his face. Obviously, he still missed Xiao Zhufeng's Wen Min. Tian Buyi was even more angry when he saw it, and scolded even more fiercely. In the end, Song Daren almost seemed to be afraid of cats and mice. He hid in Tibet all day long and did not dare to see his master again.

On this day, Su Ru went out early and specifically told Tian Buyi to go to Xiaozhufeng to persuade Sister Shuiyue. Tian Buyi hummed a few times and satirized Shuiyue with cold words. Su Ru ignored him and went straight, leaving Tian Buyi sulking. However, before leaving, Su Ru said a few words to Tian Buyi in private, which made Tian Buyi understand why Shuiyue was so arrogant that day.

Su Ru actually said very simply, but said, 'I heard that the day before we went, the day Lu Xueqi returned to the mountain, Sister Shuiyue summoned Lu Xueqi alone and talked for a long time. As a result, somehow, Lu Xueqi was severely punished by the senior sister, and even the other disciples were scolded.'

Tian Buyi was dull in appearance, but he was by no means a dull person. After a moment, he realized the reason. However, after Su Ru left, every time he thought that he had sent him to the door to be humiliated, he really couldn't swallow, and his anger was unbearable.

Shoujingtang was silent at this moment. Only Tian Buyi's footsteps came, and his face slowly changed with the footsteps of walking. Somehow, later, his expression became a little strange, as if he thought of something. He knew about Lu Xueqi's face-to-face rejection of marriage in the Yuqing Hall of Tongtianfeng, and Tian Buyi also heard about the rumors of Lu Xueqi, the most outstanding talent in the younger generation of disciples.

It's just what he cares about in his heart, but it's another person in those 'rumors'.

'It's been ten years.' He sighed gently, looking a little in a trance. Sometimes even he felt a little strange. Why did the little disciple who looked so inconspicuous in those years care about him for so many years?

Tian Buyi smiled bitterly and shook his head. At this moment, he suddenly felt something, frowned, and looked out of the Shoujing Hall. From afar, he only heard the sound of breaking the sky. Tian Buyi pondered slightly, calmed down and went out.

A white light flashed over Dazhu Peak, as fast as electricity, shooting straight to the top of Dazhu Peak. In a blink of an eye, it came to the front and fell six feet in front of Tian Buyi. The dazzling white light swayed and dispersed, and the figure of Xiao Yicai from Qingyunmen Tongtianfeng appeared.

Xiao Yi turned around with a smile on his face and arched his hand: 'I've seen Uncle Tian.'

Tian Buyi nodded and said, 'Well, why are you here? What's the matter?'

Xiao Yi smiled and nodded, but then looked around and was slightly surprised. He said, 'Uncle Tian, why is it so deserted here? What about the other brothers under your seat! Why didn't you see it?'

Tian Buyi said, 'If you can see them, you will go to hell. You don't know where to hide.' But on the surface, he seemed to be fine, and said lightly, "They are all doing their homework, so they didn't come out." I'm not like you Tongtianfeng here. There are a lot of people, and it's common not to see people.'

Xiao Yi was stunned and heard that Tian Buyi's tone seemed to be a little unhappy, but his city was quite deep. He didn't hear it and seemed unconscious. He smiled and said, 'Oh, so it's it. Uncle Tian, my disciple came today to visit my uncle on the order of my teacher. I have a few questions to ask you.'

Tian Buyi frowned, but he was shocked and said in astonishment, "What do you want to ask me for advice?" Brother Daoxuan is a scholar, and he is a man of heaven, and his achievements are involved in creation. Is there anything else you want to ask me, this incomputable brother?'

Xiao Yi smiled, but didn't say anything. He just looked at Tian Buyi. Tian Buyi said, "Then go in and talk about it!" With that, he turned around and was about to walk to the Shoujing Hall, and Xiao Yi followed him. Suddenly, Tian Buyi paused and suddenly turned around, but looked at the room on the other side of the disciple's house.

Xiao Yi was a little strange. He also looked over there, but he didn't see anything. He couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, Uncle Tian?"

Tian Buyi hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, I'm dazzled. How can he be..." He suddenly coughed and said indifferently, "Let's go in and talk!"

Xiao Yi listened inexplicably and couldn't help looking over there again, but he saw rows of houses neatly arranged and silent. It looked too normal. At that moment, I didn't think much about it, so I followed Tian Buyi and walked into the Shoujing Hall.

After the figures of the two people disappeared in the quiet hall, the quiet atmosphere shrouded the mountain of Dazhu Peak. I don't know how long it took. Suddenly, a figure flashed in the corridor of the disciple's house, which turned out to be a ghost. He silently stared in the direction of Shoujing Hall for a moment, and then turned around along the once extremely familiar corridor and slowly walked inside.

It's probably because of the afternoon! The other disciples on Dazhufeng did not see the figure. In my memory, the most common thing I heard here in the past was, except for the crisp laughter of the little sister Tian Linger, which was Du Bishu's slightly depressed shouting, because he must have lost another bet. Then, the loud laughter of the eldest brother Song Daren and others will sound, and several other brothers will also follow the jokes, and the little disciple who has always been the smallest and most inconspicuous! It must be a smile in the corner, right?

Once upon a time, the past time was gently turned over in the sound of slow footsteps, and those old things seemed to be engraved between every brick and pillar and stone platform here, echoing beside him.

The ghost's face gradually changed from the beginning, and the expression that used to be shrouded like ice quietly retreated. The past time turned out to be so touching that even after many years, he still couldn't forget it.

If, if...if nothing has changed...

He stood between the corridors illuminated by the light sun and sat down slowly on the low railing of the corridor. The warm and warm sun of Dazhu Peak shone on his face, as if it had been ten years ago.

......

There were footsteps and voices of conversation, which came from far behind and approached. It turned out to be He Dazhi, the fourth disciple of Dazhufeng, and Du Bishu, the sixth disciple. The two of them came here side by side, and at the moment they appeared, the ghost suddenly disappeared like a ghost. The mountain wind blew, and the branches and plants brushed together. No one knew where he was hiding.

He Dazhi and Du Bishu obviously didn't notice anything. The two spoke in a low voice and walked over slowly. Among them, Du Bishu still had a wooden bucket in his hand, with half a bucket of water in it, and a rag next to him. It seemed that he was going to clean it up. Looking at the two of them walking forward, they walked to the door of a room. Du Bishu shrugged his shoulders at He Dazhi. He Dazhi smiled and the two walked in together.

After a moment, the ghost's fierce figure appeared from a corner outside the corridor, with complex eyes and looking ahead. The room that the two former brothers entered turned out to be the room where he used to live when he was Zhang Xiaofan, a little disciple of Dazhufeng. However, shouldn't that room have been abandoned for many years? Why did the two brothers still go in?

Ghost Li floated over quietly.

As if he suddenly fell into the dream of the past, he was stunned at the door. In this small courtyard, it was exactly the same as the scene in those years. There were still gravel paths, grass and green space, and even the small pine was still there. However, for so many years, it has been much stronger.

The sound of water came from the room, and then the voices of Du Bishu and He Dazhi came out: 'Fourth brother, tell me, it's been so many years, why do you want us to clean this room? Isn't this a intention to make me suffer!'

He Dazhi laughed and scolded, "Bad boy, you want to be lazy again, don't you? Let me tell you, Master has been angry for the matter of the eldest brother recently! Don't mess with him, or Master will have to skin you.'

Du Bishu laughed twice and said, "Brother, you're kidding me again. How dare I provoke Master?" It's just that the little brother has been away for more than ten years, but the master still told us to keep it as it is and clean it every day. I really don't know what he is thinking?'

The figure standing outside the room stood still and slowly lowered his head.

In the room, He Dazhi was silent for a while, but sighed and whispered, "Although Master has never talked about the little brother over the years, we all know that he loves the little brother the most in his heart."

Du Bishu's voice said: 'Yes! I can also see this. To be honest, sometimes I also miss my younger brother. But what's the use of that? The little brother has already become another person now. Will he go back to Dazhufeng, become Zhang Xiaofan again, and then be our seventh brother? ......'

Outside the window, the ghost's expression became more and more indifferent, and his body was straight. There were only two hands, clenched into fists, and the more he clenched, the tighter he became.

Can I go back?

The steps you have taken in time, the road you have crossed, many years later, do you still remember to look back? Do you still want to look back?

The sun shines warmly on the body, but it seems to be in the ice cellar!

He Dazhi and Du Bishu also remained silent. It seemed that the topic was inadvertently raised, and even they felt dull and speechless. They messed around in the room for a while and came out with a bucket. He Dazhi gently closed the door and looked at the green grass and pine branches shaking in the small courtyard. Although it was full of spring, there was always a sense of loneliness. It seems that the owner of this house is not here, and even the spring light has quietly lost its color.

He shook his head, sighed, and left with Du Bishu.

After a long time, Gui Li slowly came out from behind the pine tree. The familiar mountain wind blew on his face and moved his hair. He went to the door, raised his right hand and put it on the door.

His movements are very slow, and it seems that he has a lot of pressure in his hand, and even the expression on his face seems to be out of breath. However, that strange and inexplicable feeling, like an invisible force, finally opened the door!

- It's like, I pushed open a window of the past and saw the past.

Familiar beds, familiar tables and chairs, and those hanging on the wall. After many years, it seems that there has been a slightly yellow Taoist banner, and even the kettle and teacup on the table look exactly the same as in those years!

Who knows how many times this simple room has appeared in a dream? Even the air here seems to have a faint feeling of the past. He slowly walked into the room, walked to the bedside, sat down slowly, and gently stroked the bedding on the edge of the bed with his hand. The soft feeling passed through the palm of his hand.

Who saw that he suddenly bit his lip, so hard, so deep!

In the quiet hall, Tian Buyi and Xiao Yicai sat down together. Tian Buyi seemed to be a little restless. Facing Xiao Yicai, he looked elsewhere, as if he was thinking about something. It was not until Xiao Yi coughed and shouted, 'Uncle Tian.'

Tian Buyi just woke up. He nodded and said, 'Well, okay, you say it! Brother Daoxuan, what do you want, a proud disciple, to make a special trip?

Xiao Yicai smiled and said, 'I dare not be. Well, there are two main things for the teacher. I want my disciple to ask Uncle Tian.

Tian Buyi said, 'Oh, you say it.'

Xiao Yicai said: 'One is that the number of Taoist friends who have come to Qingyun Mountain has been increasing recently, and many other connections have received many people. Tong Tianfeng has also arranged more than 100 Taoist friends in the houses on the mountainside. But in spite of this, the accommodation is still not enough, so the teacher wants the disciple to beg the uncle, can you arrange some more Taoist friends on Dazhu Peak?'

Tian Buyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yi. Xiao Yicai looked a little embarrassed, but he still laughed and said, 'Uncle, this is also because of the current catastrophe in the world, so we have to do it, and we Qingyunmen have always pretend to be the right leader. We can't push our Taoist friends out

Tian Buyi snorted and said, 'Don't think I'm a fool. Those so-called righteous Taoist friends, who really fight with those beast demons, can contribute less than 30%, mostly because of our Qingyun's fame, ran to take refuge.'

Xiao Yicai smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Tian is serious, but even so, we can't push people out of the door. If so, how will the right path in the world think of us? For the sake of the overall situation, I also asked Uncle Tian for more help.

Tian Buyi rolled his eyes and suddenly seemed to think of something. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and there was a sneer at the corners of his mouth. He coughed, with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression on his face. He said, "Since Brother Dao Xuan has said so, I can't refuse. Anyway, it's Let's do it!'

Xiao Yicai was overjoyed and said, 'Thank you, uncle.'

Tian Buyi smiled and suddenly raised his hand and said, 'Slow, I haven't finished yet.'

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "What? Uncle Tian, please say.'

Tian Buyi smiled and said, "Since the catastrophe is in the moment, everything should be for the overall situation. I heard that among our seven veins, there is another vein, er, it seems to be the one with more female disciples...'

Xiao Yicai was still smiling, but half of his face was stiff, and he gradually couldn't laugh.

Tian Buyi still smiled and said, "I remember that in that vein, the terrain was vast, and I had been there a few days ago. There are so many empty houses! Why didn't the head brother think of this place for a wise life?'

Xiao Yicai smiled bitterly and said for a long time, 'Uncle Tian, this, this...'

Tian Buyi snorted, and his fat face looked at the sky without saying a word. Xiao Yi just looked at his appearance and shook his head secretly. He had to say, 'Yes, after the disciple went back today, he should tell his teacher and ask him to make the decision.'

Tian Buyi didn't say anything, and the expression on his face did not change. He just nodded, but his heart was very happy and sneered.

Xiao Yicai calmed down for a moment, and then said, 'So Uncle Tian, this second thing is more important than what happened just now. The teacher has also told him again and again. Please think about it carefully before answering.'

Tian Buyi saw that Xiao Yi's face was serious, which was very different from just now. Obviously, this matter seemed to be a big deal. He couldn't help but be stunned and nodded, "Oh, what's so serious? Just say it."
