  Chapter 1732:
  The little classmate gave a thank-you gift, chatted with the elders of the Hua family for a while, and then slipped away to see how her brother was getting along with the children. She did not show up, but climbed a tree in the neighboring yard and sat down. Keep observing.

  Young Master Hua sacrificed his life to accompany the gentleman, and also climbed a tree to become a peeping tom.

  Little Miss Le sent a heavy gift, and the head of the Hua family and the clan elders went to the secret room for a meeting to discuss the return gifts, and then organized a reception banquet.

  Classmate Le Xiao and Mr. Hua stayed like thieves until the class was about to end, then they slipped down the tree and went around to the private school.

  Leshan got along very happily with the children of the Hua family. She attended two classes with their older children. After class, she saw her sister and ran over to use it as a leg pendant.

  The children of the Hua family all went to the main courtyard for lunch at noon. They also went to the banquet table with the adults. They did not sit at the same table as the adults. They had their own seats.

  After dinner, the children happily took Leshan away to visit Hua's house, and went to the private school to attend classes in the morning.

  Le Xiao's classmate did not go to be a sloth in the afternoon. He and Hua Shao studied the routes of Yishan scenic spots and planned a trip to the mountains tomorrow.

  When the little Lolita set off for Province A in the morning, Dongfang Shen, the treasure of Shengwu Mountain, left the mountain with Li Ziwang and took the earliest train to Qin Province via Shishi to Qin Province.

  Dongfang Shen was not directly in charge of the general affairs of the sect, but a series of news about the girl from the Lejia family in Meicun, who had gone into seclusion, returned home, returned home, then went to Beijing, and returned home again, etc., were conveyed to the Golden Summit Palace by Li Ziwang every time. He did not Missed any one.

  During the National Day holiday, Shengwu Mountain was crowded with tourists. Dongfang Shen meditated in a closed area of ​​the Golden Summit Palace and could not avoid tourists. However, various news reached his ears every day. He knew that the girl from Lejia had gone out for a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival and came back. , the Xuan family also came to visit Lejia.

  First, the Hua family visited the Le family, and then the Xuanyuan family visited the Le family. Dongfang Shen received the news and spent a day in meditation. On the evening of the 8th, he summoned Long Yan and Liu Changhe, who were in charge of the sect's affairs, to explain some matters. On the 9th, Before dawn, he took Li Ziwang down the mountain to Qin Province.

  The two took the earliest bus to Qin Province and arrived at Qin Province Station in more than two minutes. Then they took a bus to a certain station, then walked to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain and climbed the mountain.

  Li Ziwang climbed Zhongnan Mountain again and became familiar with the road. He accompanied Taishi's uncle step by step up the mountain road and arrived at Uncle Yu Hui's cliff residence shortly in the afternoon.

  During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the leaves of deciduous trees begin to turn yellow, the forests in Zhongnan Mountain are dyed with colors, and the mountains become more tranquil with the singing of birds.

  There are four caves in a row built against the cliff. Each door is closed, quietly overlooking the woods and distant peaks and deep valleys below.

  Vegetables are planted in the stone crevices beside the steps leading to the cliff house and the cliff. Dry branches are piled under the eaves of the hut under the cliff, and a pile of dry firewood is piled on the ground.

  There are flower beds built on the edge of the Yaju floor, as well as some flower beds composed of wooden boards, iron plates and stones. Chrysanthemums, onions, garlic and Chinese cabbage are planted in lush green areas.

  Walking along the steps and path planted with vegetables to the small hermit cave in front of the rock wall, Dongfang Shen sighed silently. The girl from the Lejia family really worked hard to build the cave for Yu Hui.

  The master was not at home, so Li Ziwang had no choice but to help Uncle Taishi take off his backpack, and the two of them sat on the steps and waited quietly.

  The two of them waited until around four o'clock in the afternoon when the owner of the cave finally returned.

  With his own cave, Yu Hui's daily life has almost become regular. In addition to meditating in the morning and evening, doing Qinggong exercises in the morning, meditating after meals until mid-morning, and then doing activities.

  When the weather is nice in autumn, he goes out every half morning to look for firewood or dried fruits.

  He has a certain foundation in martial arts. He can climb mountains easily and without stress. He can also go far away to collect firewood, leaving nearby mountains for ordinary practitioners to collect firewood.

  Because I have traveled far away and am not sure when I will return, I recently went to a mountain peak in a valley about twenty miles away to find firewood. In order to avoid traveling long distances, I first transported the collected firewood to a place and piled it up, and then slowly moved it back to the cave. .

  He brought dry food and made do with it in the mountains at noon. He got several bundles of dry branches that day and moved them to the firewood pile to pile them up. He didn't finish work until about three o'clock in the afternoon.

  Yu Hui carried a bundle of firewood and walked up the mountain as if it were flat ground. It only took more than an hour to return to the cave. When he walked around the woods and walked to the stone path on the mountain cliff, he found that his visitor in front of the cave was far away at first. After recognizing it, when he got closer, he was surprised to find that it was Li Ziwang and his former master's uncle.

  Seeing that Dongfang Shen, who he once called his uncle, came to his secluded place, Yu Hui felt mixed emotions, but it was only for a short time, and soon he felt calm as before.

  Carrying a handful of branches, he climbed up the steps step by step. When he reached the intersection of the mountain stream and the cave, he saw Li Ziwang running to help him carry firewood, so he declined politely: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your kindness. I can still carry the firewood, but I don't dare to ask you for your help." Master

  Yu refused to let him help, so Li Ziwang silently withdrew his hand and asked Master Yu to go ahead, and he followed behind.

  Yu Hui carried a bundle of firewood weighing seventy or eighty kilograms, stepped onto the ground, put the dry firewood down, patted the grass and tree dust on his clothes, straightened his clothes, and stood calmly: "I have already guessed why you are here. Come on, I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I thought that Shengwu Mountain would send someone else, but I didn’t expect that it was Taoist Master Dongfang who came out in person. It was also an honor for Yu to have Taoist Master Dongfang personally abolish martial arts. Taoist Master Dongfang , please do it."

  Following his uncle back to the ground, Li Ziwang was still thinking about how to tell Master Yu that his great uncle wanted to stay with Master Yu for a few days, but he never thought that Master Yu would say those earth-shattering words. It was as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was completely stunned.

  Dongfang Shen did not dye his hair, which was already white and was pulled into a bun with a bamboo hairpin. He was wearing a green Taoist robe and holding a handful of Buddha dust in his hand. He stood under the eaves of the rock house and watched Yu Hui coming up from the mountain. Hui declined Li Ziwang's help and watched Yu Hui calmly put down the firewood and stood calmly taking pictures of his clothes.

  From Yu Hui's expression, Dongfang Shen knew that Yu Hui didn't have much affection for Shengwu Mountain. The moment Yu Hui calmly told him to abolish martial arts, the last trace of luck in his heart disappeared without a trace.

  Looking at Yu Hui, who was standing calmly on the ground, with no hatred in his eyes, Dongfang Shen felt helpless and sad: "Yu Hui, why can't you tell me your grievances directly?"

  "Now I don't have any grievances," Yu Hui smiled easily: "I expelled myself from the master's school. When I walked out of the mountain, I was no longer a disciple of Shengwu Mountain. Moreover, I also sent the monk's Dudian back to the Buddhist temple. The Buddhist and Taoist Management Association of Die has officially returned to secular life. Now he is a free monk. He no longer has to rely on others to live his life, let alone beg for perfection." "You..."

  Dongfang Shen could no longer say the words he wanted to save, and watched silently. The disciples who had been silent for decades on Shengwu Mountain turned out to be speechless.

  Yu Hui felt magnanimous and looked at the elders of Shengwu Mountain without hesitation: "If you two are here to destroy my martial arts, please take action immediately. If you are here for other reasons, please forgive me." If you don't entertain us, it's still early, so you two should quickly find another place to place your order."

  Li Ciwang originally wanted to say that Grandmaster Grandmaster wanted to stay for a few days, but he couldn't say it anymore. He silently walked to Grandmaster Grandmaster and picked up his backpack. On his back, he also carried Taishizu's personal luggage and backpack in his hands.

  "Yu Hui, do you hate...the sect?" Dongfang Shen was silent for a long time before asking.

  "Taoist Master Dongfang, please don't set any traps. I am no longer a disciple of Shengwu Mountain." Yu Hui stood calmly facing the afterglow that was about to go down the mountain, and said in a calm tone: "If I had any resentment against Shengwu Mountain when I was still a disciple of Shengwu Mountain, Where there is love, there is hatred. Because there were expectations, there was resentment. Later, at the moment when I kicked myself out, the last trace of resentment disappeared. From then on, there was no resentment, no hatred, no worries." Dongfang Shen knew

  that He avoided seeing him for one night, which really chilled people's hearts, so Yu Hui decided to leave and never look back.

  After all, Shengwu Mountain owes Master Yu Hui and his disciples. Dongfang Shen sighed quietly, slowly walked up the steps, took a step, and stood still: "Wu Changfeng has resigned from the position of leader and is missing. Now Long Yan and Liu Changhe take over the responsibilities of the sect."

  "Master Dongfang doesn't need to tell me, an outsider, about your sect's affairs. Whoever becomes the leader of your sect has nothing to do with me, an idler." Yu Hui's heart was no longer disturbed. , he let it go, so the rise or fall of Shengwu Mountain is none of his business.

  Dongfang Shen regretted Yu Hui's departure. He originally wanted to go to Zhongnan Mountain in person to take the person back to Shengwu Mountain. But now he realized that trying to make up for the situation was of no use. He sighed regretfully, raised his feet again, and met Yu Hui two steps away. Passed by and left sadly.

  Yu Hui did not look back to see his former master-uncle. The relationship between him and the sect was broken when his master-uncle knew that Huang Zhichang had harmed Junior Brother Le's grandson but still blindly protected Wu Changfeng's lineage. He did not hate his master-uncle and did the same. No more acceptance or explanation.

  From now on, we have nothing to do with each other, which is the best way to get along.

  Naturally, there was no need to give away someone who had nothing to do with him. Yu Hui walked under the eaves, pushed open the kitchen window, took out the key and opened the kitchen door, then opened his bedroom for ventilation, and then entered the kitchen to prepare dinner. .

  Dongfang Shen didn't look back when he left. He walked from the ground to the stone path and walked slowly down the path.

  Li Ziwang turned around, walked a few steps and looked back, and found that Master Yu had not watched his great uncle off from the beginning to the end. He couldn't express his melancholy. Master Yu seemed to have really let go of everything in the past.

  After bypassing the woods and crossing the cave area where female cultivators and free monks lived, Li Ziwang couldn't help but report: "Uncle Grand Master, Senior Yu... he never looked back." "He let go and really walked out

  . ." Dongfang Shen sighed again: "After all, I realized it was too late and came too late." It

  is impossible for Yu Hui to return to Shengwu Mountain.

  I originally wanted Yu Hui to go back and take over as the leader to compensate for the grievances suffered by their master and disciples and make up for the mistakes made decades ago, but unfortunately, it was too late.

  Dongfang Shen walked slowly, his steps extremely heavy.

  Li Ziwang didn't understand what Taishi's uncle meant by "enlightenment too late", and he didn't dare to ask. He accompanied Taishi's uncle to a fork in the road, stopped walking down the mountain, and went in another direction. .

  The two of them took a long detour along the mountain road to another mountaintop and stayed in a Taoist temple.
