Chapter 650 Discussion:
When Li Ziwang left Lejia, he did not wait for the bus. He took a van on Jiudao Street to the county seat, and then took the tourist bus back to the sect.
Wudang is on the way from Fang County to Shishi. Li Ziwang returned to the foot of Wudang Mountain at around four o'clock, walked up the mountain, and went to a quiet Taoist temple located on the middle level of the mountain. He went to the private living room of the practitioners that was not open to the public to meet his master. Yu Hui.
There are many Taoist temples in Shengwu Mountain that are inhabited by lay people. Most of the Wudang sect members live in the Eight Great Dao Temples. The ancient elders like to live wherever they like. Some live in the mountains that are half caves and half self-built houses. When people in the know see it, they don’t know whether it is a hermit who has seen through the world of mortals or a member of the Wudang Clan.
The Taoist temple where Yu Hui lives is small. Half of the house is built under the cliff. On one side it faces the cliff, and on the other side there is a small natural terrace for viewing the scenery. There are stone tables and chairs, and the edges of the terrace are filled with orchid pots. .
When Li Ziwang arrived, Yu Hui was sitting around the table with the two of them on the terrace. I don’t know how long they had been sitting there. The pot of tea on the table had already become cold. Nearby, the shadow of the mountain covered the terrace, and the distant peaks reflected the faint sunlight. Golden, green peaks and continuous sunshine. Sitting on the terrace and looking out into the distance, I feel like I am alone in the world, taking in all the mountains.
Yu Hui is an authentic Taoist disciple. He wears Taoist robes, a bun, and a bamboo hairpin. He is about fifty years old and has a slender face without any beard. Sitting at the same table with him is a man who is about seventy years old and has black hair mixed with a few white hairs. He has white eyebrows and a white beard, a round face, a bit fat, and chubby, and he is the most joyful to look at.
The younger of the two old men is Li Ziwang's master, Taoist Priest Liu Changhe, and the one with white eyebrows and eyebrows is Taoist Priest Liu's fellow disciple Long Yan, both of whom are one generation older than Yu Hui.
The shadow of the mountain fell down, making the terrace look cold. The three Taoist priests, who are already in their old age, all wear sky-blue robes and sit still, like three blue stalagmites.
Walking softly to the terrace, Li Ziwang bent down and said, "I have met my uncle, my master, and my uncle Yu." The
three people, who were looking down in concentration, slowly opened their eyes. There was still a little sparkle in the eyes of the ancient man, and his white eyebrows were white. The white-bearded old man's eyes were as calm as an ancient well, calm and calm: "Have you seen the little girl from the Le family?"
Long Yan originally wanted to say "little girl from the Le family", but in the end, although the girl from the Le family was the granddaughter of Le Hong, a famous disciple of Wudang, she was now a recognized disciple of the Immortal Medicine Sect, and her status was not what it used to be. Even if she was the same generation as Master Le Hong You can no longer call them random names.
Liu Changhe was speechless, and Yu Hui didn't speak either.
Li Ziwang greeted the elders, walked to the stone table and sat down, poured a cup of herbal tea for the three elders, gave himself a cup, drank it all in one gulp, and then replied: "Disciple saw my nephew, but... the result was not the same. As expected."
Yu Hui was slightly startled: "Were all the gifts returned?"
"The gifts were not returned." Li Ziwang smiled bitterly: "My nephew is a crystal-like person with a clear mind. I call her my nephew. , she never called me uncle or uncle, she called me Uncle Li, nor did she call my uncle, ancestors, and uncles my ancestors. She only greeted the sect’s envoys on behalf of my uncle Lehong, and called the ancestors of the sect as seniors.”
There is only one word difference between Uncle Li and Master Li, but the difference is a thousand miles away. The missing word "Master" is the difference between familiarity and unfamiliarity. Calling Uncle Li is similar to calling someone "Uncle" on the street. At most, they are slightly more familiar than passers-by.
Long Yan was silent, and Liu Changhe breathed softly: "It seems that Lehong has told his descendants everything, and his descendants are worried." No one spoke, and after a long silence,
Yu Hun then Asked: "How is the newborn baby?"
The master and uncle did not say anything. Li Ziwang didn't know how to express his opinion. When the master asked, he respectfully replied: "Come back to the master, my little nephew looks like a tiger-like head, very clever. Look, It's pleasing to the eye when you look at it. I guess you must have excellent bones."
"You're not talking nonsense. How can you be so bad with a sister like that? He must have been well-nurtured while still in his mother's belly." Yu Hui couldn't bear it. He joked: "What did your nephew say when he saw the post in the gift box?"
Li Ziwang shook his head and sighed: "I didn't say a word, but my nephew Leyun didn't look happy at all. I could even say that I was very resistant. When I saw the jade sign you gave me, my uncle, I also expressed seriousness. I was hesitant and seemed not ready to accept it. I explained that it was a personal gift from you, uncle. My nephew hesitated for a moment before reluctantly accepting it. Accept it on your behalf and ask me to say 'Thank you, senior, for your kindness'."
"Judging from this, she will send the gift back in other ways sooner or later. Fortunately, she still remembers that her grandfather and I have a brotherhood, and there is a possibility of resolving the embarrassment." "Master, my
nephew will give it to me before I come back ." I also said something, she said that when she comes of age, she will go up the mountain to visit Master Yu."
Long Yan was surprised and asked suspiciously: "Aren't you paying homage to the Wudang Sect?" "
Back to Master, my disciples heard clearly, Junior Nephew Le Yun said he was visiting Master Yu, not to pay homage to Wudang." Li Ziwang had no other expression except a wry smile. Junior Nephew Le Yun was extremely defensive, and never mentioned his friendship with the Wudang sect when he was chatting with him. How could he She promised to worship Wudang Mountain Master in public. She said that going back to Shengwu Mountain to worship Wudang Mountain Master would be equivalent to admitting that she was a Wudang disciple.
"..." Yu Hui was silent for a moment and nodded gently: "I understand. She came to visit me because of some last words of Junior Brother Lehong. My grandnephew is only fifteen this year and will not reach adulthood in three years. Can this be eliminated? She has had a grudge in her heart for three years."
He paused and asked, "Are there any Jianghu people in the Le family?"
"Yes, no," Li Ziwang explained softly: "There are no Jianghu people today. People from the sect went to the Lejia to congratulate them, but Yan, a disciple of the ancient Wuzhongli family, and the brother of the head of the Wanqi family, a medical family, were at the Lejia. It seemed that they were visiting the Lejia in a private capacity with the descendants of several powerful people in Beijing. , does not belong to the ceremonial exchanges between sects."
Liu Changhe expressed his opinion: "This is better. If all the ancient martial arts and ancient cultivating families come to Lejia, they will definitely see some clues, and his sect will definitely try their best to To snatch Xiao Lin'er, the new member of the Le family, as a disciple, no one from each sect comes because they are worried about the reputation of our sect as the local leader, and it is inconvenient to come and fight for it directly." "Master, what if little nephew Le helps her brother by himself
? How about finding another sect or the Guwu family to be your master?" "
We don't rule out that possibility, so you should pay attention to collecting information at any time, and we will also find time to discuss it with the elders." Liu Changhe stood up quietly: "I will go see you tonight Uncle Dongfang, please give me some advice. Junior Brother Yu, Li Ziwang, you also come with me." "I'll go with you.
" Long Yan also stood up and took the whisk in his hand. Piaoran goes first.
Li Ziwang responded respectfully and followed his seniors to meet his great uncle Dongfang Taishi who was meditating in a temple on the top of the mountain.
