Fake Taoists in the world of film and television

Chapter 108
I heard that Mr. Zhao was ill, and his sons did not dare to leave the bed for even a step. They had cried all their tears, their faces had lost expression control, and they could not hide the smiles at the corners of their mouths.

Yi Buhuo was heartbroken. How could such a good person be so fragile?

You're in such a miserable state, wouldn't my sack of sticks be in vain?

"Forget it, you have to be merciful and merciful. It doesn't matter if I'm not happy alone. Mr. Zhao is so old after all, and he suffered this disaster again. I hope something will happen to him..."

Yi Buhuo felt refreshed and took Su Ying to her parents' graves early in the morning, preparing to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, which was also considered a report.

"Reached?"

"That's it."

Su Ying followed Yi Buhuo for half of the climb up Tianshan Mountain. She was panting and sweating from exhaustion. From the first red sun to the bright sun, she finally arrived at her destination.

After passing through the dead leaf forest covered with thorns, the field of vision suddenly widened, and a small Taoist temple appeared in front of us.

The rotten wooden door was covered with moss, the damp and black walls were covered with spider webs, and a few broken tiles were scattered on the ground.

"How long has it been since anyone lived in this place?"

Su Ying stepped forward curiously, took a look at the door lock, which was almost rusted into an iron mass, and pushed the door gently. After a "squeak", the already trembling wooden door collapsed.

"Cough cough..."

The rising dust almost enveloped her, and Su Ying quickly stepped back, waving her hand to disperse the smoke in front of her.

You can vaguely see the statue facing the door, and the sunlight shines in from the dense holes in the roof, forming patches of light.

Yi Buhuo looked at the Taoist temple that had become a dilapidated building, with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

"It has been more than ten years and it has not collapsed yet. It is really the blessing of the Three Pure Ones."

"There's no need to go in. There's nothing inside. It might collapse if there's a lot of movement."

Yi Buhuo didn't have many memories of this place. Although he was ignorant and curious about everything when he was sent here by his father.

However, because he has been a human being for two generations, the old Taoist priest has a childlike appearance and a fairy-like spirit. He thinks that he can really cultivate immortality here, so he is willing to be a fire-making boy every day and serve the old Taoist priest wholeheartedly.

Who would have known that the old Taoist priest just looked like a fairy and passed away soon after, or he was buried in the coffin he built himself.

His hands were scratched and his shoulders were covered with blood. It was hard for him to be buried in the ground.

I have served this cheap master for so long in vain. I have not learned anything, so forget it. Because of my seclusion, I have not even been awarded a Taoist priest certificate.

With only this poor Taoist temple left behind, Yi Buhuo ran back home in anger. He only paid hurried worship to his parents every year and never set foot in the Taoist temple again.

Yi Buhuo took Su Ying around to the back of the Taoist temple, where two lonely tombs stood in an open space.

One is the grave where his parents are buried together, and the other is the grave of the old Taoist priest, his nominal master "Qing Yunzi".

Both tombs were overgrown with brown and withered weeds. Although the simple wooden tablets were almost rotten, the writing on them was still legible.

Yi Buhuo arranged the sacrifices, placed a jar of good wine, offered three incense sticks to his parents, and pulled Su Ying to kowtow three times respectfully.

"Two elders, look, this is your daughter-in-law. Her name is Su Ying. Unlike your son who is a dabbler, she is a serious and famous doctor, and her medical skills are earth-shattering!"

"It's a pity that you can't see it anymore. Although your son, I am unstable and my medical skills are not good, my taste in finding a wife is definitely first-class. She is definitely the kind of beauty that everyone loves."

"Now that your son has been taken down by me in one fell swoop, I brought her to see you today. Whether the Yi family's medical skills will be famous all over the world depends on her in the future. I hope the two elders will protect us."

After Yi Buhuo finished speaking, he turned to look at Su Ying, "You can say a few beautiful words to make me happy."

"Mom and dad, I am Su Ying. Although you are no longer here, there are successors to the Yi family. Yi Buhuo has lived up to your expectations. I will also discipline him for you in the future."

"Okay, as long as you get the idea, put the incense sticks on my master and then leave."

Yi Buhuo helped her up and led her to another grave.

As usual, he kowtowed first and then offered incense. After laying out the sacrifices, he took out a jug of wine from his bag and sprinkled it in front of the grave. Yi Buhuo sighed softly.

"That's it for the sacrifices. We're just going through the process. If you're greedy, just go next door and visit us. I've known you for so many years, so I won't be stingy."

"Your disciple, I am now a master of peerless martial arts. I am almost the best in the world. The road ahead is unclear and I have no clue. If you really see Bingjie Feisheng, please let me know in a dream at night."

"It must be uncomfortable to lie here for so many years. Apprentice, I am doing well now. I will renovate it and change it to a bigger house for you all. If you are alive, please remember to take care of us."

I have said all the things I want to say over the years. When I am not here, I have a lot to say, but when I do come, I just indulge in a few insignificant nonsense words.

Yi Buhuo turned around and left with Su Ying. He glanced at the dilapidated Taoist temple behind him and felt a sense of sourness and loss in his heart for no reason.

The medical center is gone, and this Taoist temple is the last trace of his childhood. The blue bricks and broken tiles that he never paid attention to now seem to be filled with the sound of chanting from every piece.

I have also meditated in the hall day and night, staring at the appearance of Taishang Laojun, imagining that he would one day appear.

Seeing his sincere heart towards the Tao, he gave him spells and magic weapons to show himself as a saint in front of others and save all people from water and fire.

Especially the master next to him who always said nothing and had a calm face. He always laughed when he heard his fantasy, but did not explain anything. He handed him a copy of the Tao Te Ching for him to understand on his own.

So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the memories I thought I had forgotten suddenly occupy my mind and heart again.

"Why am I so sentimental?"

Yi Buhuo forced himself to turn his head and not look at these things. What was precious was not the Taoist temple, but the memories in his heart.

In previous years, I accomplished nothing, came and went in a hurry, running around for a living, how could I have time to express so many emotions.

Now that Su Ying is by my side and her life is happy and her career is successful, she unconsciously thinks more.

"This Taoist temple should be repaired. After all, the master has lived here all his life. Every brick and tile here is his hard work."

Looking at the silent Yi Buhuo, Su Ying's eye circles were a little red.

Although he kept everything simple and seemed to just go through the process stiffly, the loneliness he inadvertently exuded reminded her of her own experience, and she couldn't help but feel sad.

Her father was nowhere to be found, and her mother was poisoned after not being with him for many years. He could only talk to her for an hour every day.

Who knows the loneliness of these years?
If it were me, would I really be able to be so calm?

Yi Buhuo held her hand tightly, calmed down, turned around and walked down the mountain.

"Go back, things will be different from now on..."
