"Master, I'm leaving, when I get old, I will stay here in the Taoist temple to accompany you for a long time......"
Ye Tian lit three incense sticks in front of the old Taoist's grave, touched the words on the tombstone, and slowly sat down, there was also a roast chicken and a bottle of Moutai wine in front of the tombstone, the wine lid had been opened, and the rich aroma of wine wafted in the air.
Although Lao Dao has been drinking cheap Maoshan liquor for more than ten years, Ye Tian knows that Master loves to drink good wine, but the conditions are limited, and he can only drink the liquor he likes in recent years.
"Master, don't worry, those magic books have been collected, and in the future, the disciples will find a good apprentice to pass on our lineage of lineage to the inherited ......."
Ye Tian picked up the wine bottle and slowly poured it in front of the tombstone until the three incense sticks burned out, Ye Tian still sat there, chattering about the past.
There are too many stories between him and Lao Dao, from knowing Li Shanyuan with his butt as a child, Ye Tian's understanding and formation of this world are all from the master's mouth.
Lao Dao opened the first door to Ye Tian's life, and when he was a child without a mother, Ye Tian felt the love he felt in his master, which allowed him to spend a happy childhood.
Although he had already surpassed Master in terms of technique cultivation, Ye Tian always felt that he had a strong support for a day, and now that Master was gone, Ye Tian's heart suddenly became empty and indescribably lonely.
"Dad, are you here? I will accompany Master for a meeting again, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come until next year's Qingming Festival......"
Hearing footsteps behind him, Ye Tian didn't look back, he knew that the only one who could come here at this moment was his father.
"Ye Tian, let's go, I've made all the arrangements, you don't have to worry about it here......"
Ye Dongping patted his son on the shoulder, seeing his son so affectionate and righteous, as a father, Ye Dongping only felt very relieved.
During this time, Ye Dongping has done a lot of things, the ownership of this Taoist temple does not belong to the Religious Affairs Administration or the relevant tourism departments, but to the private property of the old Taoist.
In order to inherit this uninhabited Taoist temple, Li Shanyuan took out a lot of savings and left behind many relevant documents to prove that it was approved by the local religious department and the government.
However, the state also has regulations on the management of Taoist temples, and the heirs of religious buildings such as Taoist temples must be religious insiders.
Fortunately, the old Taoist had already expected it and went through the Taoist priest's degree and related procedures for Ye Tian.
Now this Taoist temple is completely private to Ye Tian, but the future repair and management costs of the Taoist temple are also on Ye Tian alone, of course, the incense money collected by the Taoist temple also belongs to Ye Tian.
"Dad, is Second Master Li willing to go up the mountain to live?"
Ye Tian stood up and looked at his father, he asked a lonely old man in his fifties in the village, Ye Tian wanted him to live in the Taoist temple, otherwise this sackcloth Taoist temple would not be popular for many years and would soon be dilapidated.
"Why don't you want to? With such a big place for him to live in, he still has 600 yuan a month, not to mention the second uncle, even the second son and his wife want to come and live ......."
Ye Dongping laughed when he heard this, his words were a bit exaggerated, but they were all truths, although there were more people in the village who went out to work, but 600 yuan a month was still a lot of money for these villagers.
"Hehe, when Second Master Li can't see it anymore, if Uncle Erstong is still willing, let them come ......" Ye Tian was also laughed at by his father's words, and the originally depressing atmosphere became a little more relaxed.
After returning to the Taoist temple, Ye Tian saw his father looking at the ancient books incessantly, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Dad, those things were left to me by Master, don't worry about them......"
Ye Tian had already packed up the things that needed to be taken away, except for the compass passed to him by Lao Dao and the magic scriptures written by Lao Dao for more than a year, they were nothing more than those ancient scrolls collected by Lao Dao.
He saw that the most recent of these ancient books at the end of the year were engraved copies of the middle Qing Dynasty, and some were even silk books from the Ming Dynasty.
After hearing his son's words, Ye Dongping's old face turned slightly red and he said against his will: "Isn't it just some broken books? I don't even look down on ......"
"That's the best, let's go, let's go down the mountain........."
Ye Tian smiled, put all the ancient scrolls into a box, picked it up with one hand, and after leaving the Taoist temple, Ye Tian took a deep look at the place where the master's bones were buried, and walked down the mountain without looking back.
For more than a year, most of Ye Dongping's business has been transferred to BJ, so after resting for two days in a small county, the father and son returned to BJ together.
——
"Dad, is this door painted?"
It was still the same alley that I had been to with Yu Qingya, but the signs of the street office and neighborhood committee had been removed, and what appeared in front of Ye Tian was a shiny and lacquered door.
After hearing his son's words, Ye Dongping laughed proudly, pushed the door, and said: "That's Xiaotian, let me tell you, just give us this old house, don't change a villa......"
A courtyard house like this one-way house where one family lives alone is a small kingdom with all kinds of facilities and a spacious yard, which is much better than those newly built villas in the suburbs.
Moreover, the old house of the Ye family is located in the inner city, and it takes a few steps to go out for a walk to the roots of the imperial city, the geographical environment is not generally superior, Ye Dongping entertains friends at home, and none of those people do not give a thumbs up to praise.
Many old BJs yearn to move out as soon as possible, but after a few years, this courtyard will become a sought-after snack again.
"Who is it? Brother, you are back, Xiaotian, ...... Your hair?"
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, a female voice came from the yard, stretched out her head to look out, and hurriedly greeted her.
"Ye Tian, you...... Your child, after staying on that mountain for more than a year, you don't know how to come to see your sister-in-law......"
Although she had long known that something was wrong with Ye Tian's body, her hair was black and white, but after seeing it with her own eyes, Ye Dongmei's tears still couldn't help but flow, and she grabbed Ye Tian's hand that didn't carry the box tightly, and she refused to let go.
Ye Tian knew that my sister-in-law's surgery was very successful last year, and the fusion with the new kidney was also very good, but the person who underwent this kind of surgery still needed a few years of recuperation, so he held Ye Dongmei's hand and said: "Sister-in-law, it's my fault, don't be sad, otherwise Dad will beat me up again......"
"He dares? I'll tell my eldest sister to move your finger!"
After hearing her nephew's words, Ye Dongmei glared at her brother angrily, and Ye Dongping smiled bitterly, he didn't say anything or do anything, why was he shot while standing?
Ye Dongping has never been afraid of anyone in his life, even Lao Tzu dared to resist back then, but he was afraid of the eldest sister who brought him up since he was a child, otherwise he would not have dared to go back to BJ for so many years because the eldest sister did not forgive him.
"Xiaotian, my sister-in-law has a prescription, it is a Chinese medicine prescription, it is authoritarian, and I will start making medicine for you tomorrow......"
Ye Dongmei didn't know the specific reason why Ye Tian's hair turned gray, she just thought that he was caused by excessive sadness.
"Auntie, it's okay, what's wrong with the gray hair? Don't worry......"
Ye Tian smiled and diverted the topic, "By the way, sister-in-law, where did my aunt go? And where is my brother-in-law and Lan Lan? Why are you the only one in the family?"
Ye Tian heard his father say that after going back to this courtyard house and decorating it, in addition to Ye Dongping living here, Ye Dongmei's family also moved in.
After hearing Ye Tian's words, Ye Dongmei's thinking was indeed diverted, and she followed Ye Tian's words and said: "Sister knows that you are back today, you went to buy groceries, Lan Lan is a sophomore in high school, and your studies are relatively tight, so you will come back at night, your little brother-in-law is in the store, I will call him to come back......"
"Little sister, don't call, Vian will naturally come back at night, they are all their own family, why are you paying attention to those false tricks?"
After Ye Dongping came to the capital, he used his son's money to set up an antique shop in Panjiayuan, he usually had to go out to buy objects, as the saying goes, fat water does not flow to outsiders, and Liu Wei'an, who has a kind personality, is naturally the best candidate for the shopkeeper.
Ye Dongmei didn't buy her brother's account, and after hearing his words, she immediately shouted: "What is a false trick, Xiaotian came back, he should not go home as an uncle? Do you think Ye Tian is like this, isn't it all your irresponsibility as a father?"
"Okay, okay, call them, call them all, call the second sister and the others too, can we have a family reunion and have a good time in the evening?
Ye Tian, let's go, take you to your room, see if you are dissatisfied, and then help you arrange ......."
After being questioned by the little sister like a cannonball, Ye Dongping had no power to parry at all, and pulled Ye Tian to flee.
According to Ye Dongmei, this is the new house he will get married in the future, in order to cater to the mentality of young people, he also specially decorated a bathroom, which is extremely rare in courtyards.
After receiving Ye Dongmei's call, Liu Wei'an and Ye Tian's second uncle's family quickly came to the courtyard, sighing at Ye Tian's half-black and half-white hair.
In the evening, Yu Qingya also rushed over from Huaqing, and the courtyard was as lively as if it were the New Year, and the Ye family, which had been defeated for a long time, seemed to have regained some of its former demeanor.
