Once upon a time, the past, in the slowly walking footsteps gently flipped, those old events seemed to be engraved in every brick and tile, between the stone pillars and pavilions, reverberating around him.
Ghost Li's expression from the beginning, gradually changed, the once ice-like expression quietly faded, the past was actually so soul-stirring, even after so many years, he still could not forget.
If, if... if everything had not changed...
He stood in the corridor illuminated by the faint sunlight, slowly sat down on the low railing, Big Bamboo Valley's genial and warm sunlight shone on his face, as if, just like ten years ago.
...
Footsteps and voices, were heard from far behind, nearer, it was Big Bamboo Valley's fourth disciple He DaZhi and sixth disciple Amandla, the two of them walked side by side, and the moment their figures appeared, Ghost Li had already disappeared like a ghost, the mountain breeze blew past, the branches and grasses swayed together, nobody knew where exactly he was hiding.
He DaZhi and Du BiShu obviously did not notice anything, both of them spoke softly and slowly walked over. Du BiShu was carrying a wooden bucket, half filled with water, beside it was a piece of cloth, it looked like he was going there to clean it up. And watching both of them walking forward, not long after, they reached a room's door, Du BiShu shrugged his shoulders to He DaZhi, He DaZhi smiled, both of them walked in together.
After a while, Ghost Li's figure appeared from a corner outside the corridor, his eyes complicated, looking ahead. The room that the two former senior brothers entered, was actually the room that he used when he was still Big Bamboo Valley's youngest disciple Zhang XiaoFan. But, that room should have been abandoned for many years, why did the two senior brothers still want to go in?
Ghost Li quietly floated over.
It was as if he had suddenly fallen into a dream. He stood at the door in a daze. This small courtyard was exactly the same as it was in the past. There was still the gravel path, the green grass, and even the small pine tree was still growing there. It was just that after so many years, it had grown much thicker.
Water sounds were heard from the room, following which Amandla and He DaZhi's voices were heard, "Fourth senior brother, you tell us, after so many years, why does teacher still want us to clean this room? Isn't this deliberately making me suffer!? "
He Dazhi laughed and scolded, "Brat, you want to be lazy again, don't you? Let me tell you, Master has been angry recently because of Eldest Brother's matter. Don't provoke him, or Master will skin you alive."
Du BiShu laughed dryly and said, "Senior brother, you are joking with me again, how would I dare to provoke teacher. It's just that Junior Brother has been gone for more than ten years, but Master still ordered us to keep this place the same and clean it every day. I really don't know what the old man is thinking in his heart. "
The figure standing outside the room slowly lowered his head.
In the room, He DaZhi was silent for a while, but he sighed and said in a low voice, "Although Master has never talked about Xiao Fan all these years, but we all know in our hearts that he loves Xiao Fan the most."
Du BiShu's voice said, "That's right, I can also see that. To be honest, sometimes I also miss Little Junior Brother. But what's the use, Little Junior Brother has long become another person. Don't tell me he will return to Big Bamboo Valley and become Zhang XiaoFan again, become our Seventh Junior Brother again? … "
Outside the window, Ghost Li's expression became more and more indifferent, his body also straightened. Only his two hands, clenched into fists, clenched tighter and tighter.
Can you turn back?
The steps you took in the time, the path you crossed, many years later, can you still remember to turn back and look into the distance? Still think of turning back?
The warm sunlight shone on the body, but it felt like being in an icehouse!
He DaZhi and Du BiShu also became silent, as if this topic was accidentally brought up, even they felt depressed and speechless. They messed around in the room for a while, carried the water buckets and walked out. He DaZhi gently closed the door, looked at the green grass in the small courtyard, the pine branches swaying. Although it was a scene of spring, but there was a sense of loneliness. As if the owner of the house was not around, even this piece of spring scenery also lost its colour.
He shook his head, sighed and left with Du BiShu.
After a long time, Ghost Li, from behind that pine tree, slowly walked out. The familiar mountain breeze blew on his face, ruffled his hair. He walked to the door, raised his right hand, and placed it on the door.
His movements were very very slow, as if there was a thousand catties of pressure on his hand, even the expression on his face, seemed as if he could not breathe. But, that strange inexplicable feeling, like an invisible force, finally pushed open this door!
It was as if he had opened a window of the past and was able to see the past.
The familiar bed, the familiar table and chairs, and the 'Tao' word hanging on the wall, after many years, it looked slightly withered and yellow, even the teapot and teacups on the table, looked exactly the same as that year!
Who knew, this simple and crude room, how many times had it appeared in his dreams? Even the air here, seemed to have a faint feeling of the past. He slowly walked into the room, walked to the bed, slowly sat down, used his hand to gently caress the bedding, a gentle feeling, passed through his palm.
Who saw, he suddenly bit his lips, so hard, so deeply!
In Observed Silence Hall, Tian BuYi and Xiao YiCai sat together, Tian BuYi seemed to be uneasy, facing Xiao YiCai, his eyes were looking elsewhere, as if thinking about something. Until Xiao YiCai coughed once, called out, "Tian teacher uncle."
Tian BuYi then seemed to wake up, nodded his head, said, "En, alright, you say it, what does DaoXuan sect head senior brother have for you, this proud disciple, to specially make a trip?"
Xiao YiCai smiled and said, "You flatter me. It is like this, teacher mainly has two matters, wants disciple to ask Tian teacher uncle. "
Tian BuYi said, "Oh, go ahead."
Xiao YiCai said, "One, is that recently the number of Good Faction friends coming to Qing Yun Hill is still increasing, other branches have already received quite a number of people, Big Bamboo Peak also arranged for hundreds of friends to stay in the houses on the hillside. But even so, the accommodation is still not enough, therefore teacher wants disciple to plead teacher uncle, is it possible to arrange more Good Faction friends in Big Bamboo Peak? "
Tian BuYi raised his brows, glanced at Xiao YiCai, Xiao YiCai looked a little embarrassed but still smiled and said, "Teacher uncle, this is also because of the world calamity, we have no choice, and our Qing Yun sect has always regarded ourselves as the leader of the Good Faction, we can't just push the friends out the door right?"
Tian BuYi snorted, said, "Don't think I am an idiot, those so-called Good Faction friends, when they really fought with those demon beasts, only less than thirty percent of them could contribute, more than half of them saw our Qing Yun reputation, ran over to seek refuge."
Xiao YiCai laughed bitterly, said, "Tian teacher uncle is too serious, but even so, we can't just push them out the door, if we really do so, how would the world's Good Faction see us Qing Yun? For the sake of the big picture, Tian teacher uncle please help more. "
Tian BuYi rolled his eyes, suddenly seemed to think of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, a sneer on his lips, coughed once, his face revealed a righteous expression, said, "Since DaoXuan senior brother has said so, I also can't refuse, anyway it is also for the sake of the world's Good Faction and the big picture, then let's do it like this."
Xiao YiCai was overjoyed, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you teacher uncle."
Tian BuYi smiled, suddenly raised his hand and said, "Wait, I have not finished."
Xiao YiCai was startled, said, "What? Tian teacher uncle please speak. "
Tian BuYi smiled and said, "Since the calamity is before us, everything must be for the big picture. I heard in our Qing Yun seven branches, there is another branch, uh, seems to be the branch with more female disciples … "
Xiao YiCai was still smiling, halfway through, his face stiffened, gradually unable to smile.
Tian BuYi was still smiling to himself, said, "I remember in that branch, the terrain is vast, and I have been there a few days ago, the empty houses are really innumerable. How come Sect Head senior brother is so wise, actually did not think of this place? "
Xiao YiCai smiled bitterly, after a long while said, "Tian teacher uncle, this, this …"
Tian BuYi snorted, his chubby face looked up at the sky, did not say a word. Xiao YiCai looked at him like this, secretly shook his head, could only say, "Yes, after disciple returns today, I will report to teacher, ask him to make the decision."
Tian BuYi also did not speak, the expression on his face also did not change, only nodded, but in his heart he was very happy, snickering incessantly.
Xiao YiCai calmed his mind, and then said, "Then Tian teacher uncle, there is still this second matter, it is even more important than the matter just now, benevolent teacher also repeatedly reminded, please teacher uncle must think carefully before answering."
Tian BuYi saw Xiao YiCai's serious face, very different from before, clearly this matter was not a small matter, could not help but was startled, nodded and said, "Oh, what matter is so serious, say it."
