Chapter 95: Ask Xianju
Lei Xiong walked up and looked along the pointing of the metal and stone. Sure enough, he found that there were words vaguely engraved on the stone, as if "Ask the Immortal House". The handwriting was one centimeter deep into the stone. Although it was a long time ago, it was still very easy to distinguish when you looked closely.
Adult Jie walked forward a few steps, grinned and said, "Ask Xianju, Grandpa Yan is arrogant and has such a unique name."
Jinshi suddenly stopped him and said, "Don't go forward any further, there is a cliff ahead!"
When everyone saw that clumps of weeds grew on the edge of the flat ground. If you didn’t look closely, you really mistakenly thought it was a grassland, but you didn’t know that these grasses grew from the cliff. If you were not careful, you would easily step on the empty ground.
Yan Wu meditated, did her mother jump down on this cliff back then? She couldn't help but feel sad.
Jinshi said: "At that time, there was a large house under this tree. In addition to the master, the master's wife, and our brothers, there were endless people all year round. People came to divination and the doctors stepped on the threshold. At night, the lights were on, and everyone sat in front of the house to talk about the past and present. Although the mountains were a little bitter, everyone was carefree and lived quietly, and they were happy. Later, Wang Likun and his wife came over with their children, which added a lot of joy to the mountain residence." He said to himself, as if he was still immersed in the ordinary happiness of the past.
"Is your master's divination skill very good?" Lei Xiong asked.
"Often people say he is very smart, but he himself is very low-key and modest." Jin Shi said, "He can divinate others but cannot divine himself, and the doctor will not treat himself."
Yan Wu said: "Uncle Jin, don't say this anymore. I want to find a place to bury my grandfather. Where did he like to stay the most during his lifetime?"
Jinshi said, "Come with me!" He used the long stick in his hand to pull a bunch of grass on the left side of the flat ground for a while, revealing several stone steps. "Fortunately, I made this place with stones, otherwise there would be no roads if the grass grows too much."
Several people followed him. Although there was a road, the weeds on both sides were taller than those on the humans. When they were scrambling together, they could only just step on their feet. They had to separate the grass on both sides before they could walk.
The stone level went down, and gradually, it seemed to reach the bottom of the valley. A shallow mountain stream flowed quietly next to a large redwood tree, and there was no road ahead. The metal and stone slapped the trunk a few times, and when the internal force reached, the pine needles fell down densely.
"This tree was planted the day before I left. At that time, the stream was much wider than it is now. We fed water here. After the master worked hard for a day, he washed his face in the stream, smoked a cigarette, and sat quietly for a while. If I said the place I liked, I knew it. I wanted to build a small pavilion here for him to rest, but before he could do it, he drove down the mountain." Jinshi said, "Girl, just bury him here!"
Yan Wu and Lei Xiong looked at each other and nodded. Yan Wu said, "Let's just be here! Grandpa has been low-key all his life and told him not to erect a monument. We will use this fir tree as a symbol to worship in the future."
Lei Xiong took out a lighter and lit the weeds on the ground. It was not until it burned a large piece that allowed Cheng Renjie, Li Ji and Lu Xiaojun to put out the fire. The burned ground was clean. Lei Xiong took out his treasure knife and used the tip of the knife as a hoe to dig a pit on the ground.
As soon as the treasure sword touched the ground, Jinshi jumped up and flashed to Lei Xiong, shouting, "How come this knife is in your hand?" Before he finished speaking, he reached out to grab it.
Lei Xiong's wrist turned, like a dragon. His body tilted, and his blade covered his chest and said, "Uncle Master, do you know the origin of this knife?"
Jinshi was furious and said, "You little brat, I naturally know this knife. Tell me quickly, how did you get this knife?"
Lei Xiong smiled sly: "Uncle Master is an elder, so he won't let me go at this time. If you want to grab the knife, at least let me bury your master before you talk."
Jinshi said ok, waved his arms and roared, and sand flew away from the ground, and small shrubs were uprooted. When he stopped, a large pit about one meter deep had appeared under the fir tree.
Lei Xiong praised: "Uncle Master has good internal skills. I am afraid there is no other one in the martial arts world today."
"Don't flatter me." Jinshi said, "Girl, bring the ashes over! This pit is deep enough."
Yan Wu's nose felt sore and she was extremely sad. Although she knew that the purpose of this trip was this moment, but at this moment, all kinds of feelings emerged in her heart, and the most real thing was still reluctant to leave.
Lei Xiong saw her expression and didn't know how to comfort her. He thought that she believed in Buddhism and would definitely be less concerned about life and death and would not have too many ties. Seeing her appearance at this moment, I don't know if I should feel sad for her or be grateful.
Jinshi took the urn and said, "Girl, I must leave you. I buried him early and I will take you to see your mother."
Yan Wu was stunned for a moment, and her heart felt like something was hit hard.
Jinshi hugged the urn on his chest and said, "Master, they are all juniors, so I will do this! We have a match between master and apprentice, and I will give you peace and rest in the end. The apprentice burys the master. This is also the most common ending." He said in a desolate voice, and slowly put the urn into the bottom of the pit. "Although you drove me away, you still chase me everywhere, which made me unable to return home and my wife and children separated. To this day, my son still refuses to recognize me. But I can't hate you anymore, so you can go!"
After hearing what he said, several young people were in a very heavy mood and felt that Jinshi had a deep understanding of the righteousness. They all came over to fill the pit without saying a word.
A small mound quickly built up, and there was nothing on it. Lei Xiong took out his treasure knife and carved words on the trunk of the redwood tree. Although this knife has been tempered by years, it still does not reduce its sharpness. Especially the tip of its knife, which is more sharp than ordinary knife, and the carved words are light and flexible, and very useful. In a short while, a line of words appeared on the tree - Fang Bocai, who was buried here in Xianju.
After finishing the carving, he kowtowed three times to the mound and said, "Grandpa Yan, you can rest in peace!"
Several people kowtowed three times, while Yan Wu knelt down and couldn't get up. Only Jinshi bowed three times and said, "Master, this is the place where you always rest during your lifetime. You rest here in peace and fulfill your wish." After saying that, he called out and asked everyone to follow the stone steps along the way.
After everyone left, Yan Wu stood up from the ground, put her hands in front of her nose, and finally couldn't help but shed tears.
Lei Xiong came over to hold her and whispered: "Let's go!"
Yan Wu wiped away her tears and followed her slowly upwards.
When he arrived at the flat place, Jinshi said, "Boy, you should tell me about this knife."
Lei Xiong said seriously, "Uncle Master, you are really impatient." He told Jinshi about the ins and outs of Pan Sheng and Guan Wei's sword about the ins and outs of this knife.
"It's really a coincidence that I'll make a book, hahaha!" Jin Shi laughed, "The old woman named Long you mentioned is my wife, Jin Biao's mother."
Everyone looked at each other, thinking that this was a coincidence, but it was absolutely true.
Jinshi stopped laughing and said, "It's not that I'm impatient. I'm afraid you'll kill my old woman and get this knife. Now I'm clear, I feel relieved. Back then, this knife was able to settle in Qingxia Temple after several twists and turns. Qingxia Temple was in a bad mood, and the master couldn't bear to bury such a rare treasure sword and sword technique. He studied it in the house whenever he had time. Later, he was crazy and was afraid that he would get into a devil, so he hid the knife back to Qingxia Temple. He had no intention of asking. Later, he chased me everywhere. After I escaped the disaster, he couldn't feel at ease, so he secretly placed the treasure sword in the old woman's woodshed. He thought, no one knew it was a treasure sword, and the old woman would only use it to chop wood."
"But it is not easy to use to chop firewood," said Lei Xiong. "The treasure knife is really useless to chop firewood. After all, it is a treasure knife and it still has its own mission."
Jinshi said: "Boy, what you said makes sense. If it weren't for the treasure sword, how could you have such a strange fate? It would have been a chance for Qingxiaguan to meet the younger generation."
Lei Xiong looked at the treasure sword and said, "Maybe it is because its mission has not been completed. Since this knife is collected by Uncle Master, I will return it to you." After that, the knife was sheathed and handed it in front of Jinshi with both hands.
Jinshi pushed and said, "Boy, although you are a tricky boy, you are also a good boy who values friendship. Since you are Wang Likun's apprentice, you are also the descendant of Qingxiaguan. This knife is the same for you. In the future, Qingxiaguan will have to rely on your juniors to revitalize the situation."
Lei Xiong said "Ah" and said, "I have never thought about this matter. Uncle Master should keep this knife first. I was careless and ran around, afraid that one day I would lose it."
Jinshi's eyebrows stood up and said, "Why, I'm afraid of carrying this burden, so I don't even want a knife, hahaha!"
Lei Xiong was a little embarrassed by what he said, and said, "Uncle Master, my ambition is to make achievements, and it is not in vain to be a human being. When the wish is fulfilled, my parents will become a monk like my master."
He spoke sincerely, but as soon as he said that, Jinshi said "she was crazy" and said, "Are you crazy? What's the point of being a monk? Can you keep those precepts? You can't eat meat, drink wine, and you're so stuffy every day. It's better to be in this mountain outside the world and do whatever you want. At that time, you will be the master of the spectator and I will help you."
Cheng Renjie smiled softly and said, "Uncle Master, twenty years have passed, and the attractiveness of this Qingxia Temple to you has not decreased at all."
Lei Xiong also smiled and said, "When you reach this view, don't you have to be a Taoist priest? You also have to observe some precepts. What's the difference between it and a monk?"
