Talk about the world of mortals in detail

In the courtyard at the west end of Yuanjiang County, in addition to Xiao Yuzhi, the people responsible for the old coach's death were also some brothers from the county government, and Shi Sheng was also busy.

A long time had passed by noon, and Yi Shuyuan, who had disappeared from everyone's sight for a while, reappeared, bringing back a simple meal bought from outside.

Today, Xiao Yu's capital was a little confused, until it got late and the mourning hall gradually became quiet.

The old brothers in the yamen all had families, and it was somewhat taboo to do this kind of thing if they were not relatives, so in the evening, most of them said goodbye one by one.

"Yuzhi, I'll take my leave now!" "Yuzhi, I'll come early tomorrow morning!"

"Oh, thank you so much!"

"How about I stay too."

Some of the government officials said goodbye, while others gritted their teeth and prepared to stay and watch together.

"Don't worry, I'm here. You should go home. If you stay here, the elders and wives in the family will tell you."

"Let's go, let's go, Mr. Yi is here." "Yes, Mr. Yi is here."

"Then I'll come early tomorrow!"

"Um!"

The people from the Yamen left one after another after saying hello, and only Xiao Yuzhi, Yi Shuyuan and Shi Sheng were left in the small courtyard.

"Mr. Yi, you don't actually need to stay. I know you are also a local. It is taboo to stay here for vigils during other people's funerals."

"It's okay, Yi doesn't care about this. Besides, my home is far away from here. You won't let me rush back in the middle of the night, will you?"

Xiao Yuzhi looked at Yi Shuyuan and nodded.

"Okay, let's get some food. It's too much to let Shi Sheng tinker in the kitchen."

Yi Shuyuan said this and walked to the kitchen. At this moment, Shi Sheng was cooking there, which was pretty decent.

Dinner was just a simple treat, and the open door in the mourning hall seemed a bit cold in the approaching winter. At night, the three of them sat on the edge of the mourning hall. The old coach's body in a shroud lay on a door panel, as if he was just sleeping. On fire.

At this moment, Xiao Yuzhi, who seemed a little numb, gradually emerged from his inner sadness, and the only person who could talk to him was Master and Disciple Yi Shuyuan.

"When I was a child, I lived and slept on a boat. I had no one to rely on. From south to north, as long as I could have food to eat, I would do any hard work. When I was twelve years old, I committed a crime in Yuanjiang County with the owner of a big ship. , the ship stopped for a few days, and I also met my master."

Following Xiao Yuzhi's narration, Yi Shuyuan and Shi Sheng also understood the role of the old coach as both a teacher and a father in the past ten years, and they were able to better understand the emotions of Xiao Yuzhi and the old coach.

"In the past, I always thought about going out and making a career in the world. I felt that I had become more capable. But now that I think about it, it's really unfilial."

"People cannot be resurrected after death, and besides, the old coach died with a smile on his face. You don't have to blame yourself too much. You are so sad today, so just lean on the chair and rest for a while. You still have a few more days to go."

Hearing what Yi Shuyuan said, Xiao Yuzhi shook his head.

"I'm not tired. If you are, sir, you can go to the room to sleep for a while. Shi Sheng, too, it's time to rest. Huh."

As Xiao Yuzhi spoke, he yawned slightly. He leaned his head on the back of the chair and looked at the body of the old coach. He recalled every detail of the past. Unknowingly, his eyes gradually closed, but his thoughts of recollection did not stop. becoming more and more real

It was like the scene a few years ago when Xiao Yuzhi first had the idea of ​​going out to explore the world one morning.

In the courtyard, Xiao Yuzhi, who was holding a stone lock with open arms, was practicing postures. His internal energy flowed with his blood, and a heat flow spread throughout his body, making him feel as if his internal energy was overflowing from his body and wrapping himself into a ball. .

But this time, Xiao Yuzhi seemed to suddenly wake up from his dream, staring blankly at everything in front of him.

The senses and memories in the dream were very strange. Xiao Yuzhi seemed not to know that his master was dead. He held up the stone lock and watched his master hurriedly coming back from outside carrying a box.

It's just that the memories in dreams are memories, but the emotions are real. When Xiao Yuzhi saw his master coming back, he felt a surge of excitement and longing from the bottom of his heart.

"Master, are you back? I miss you so much!"

Xiao Yuzhi immediately put down the stone lock and followed the master happily into the classroom.

"What are you thinking about? I've only been gone for less than a day. I'm done practicing?"

"Practice finished!"

Xiao Yuzhi looked at the table and saw that the master had opened the box. Inside the box was a set of clothes.

"Master, will you buy me clothes?"

"What am I buying for you? This belongs to me. Haven't you been saying recently that you want to go out and make a career in the world?"

The old instructor glanced at his disciple as he spoke, then took out the clothes and tried them on himself, smiling.

"Actually, your skills are already considered to be an intruder. If you are more careful, you can go out and make your way into the world. Since you think so, I won't stop you. You can go out from now on."

"Master, what about you? Why don't I go out?"

"What are you talking about? You can still follow me for the rest of your life? Besides, your master is not a useless person. I also have a place to go. Do you see it? Do you know what kind of clothes this is?"

When asked by the master, Xiao Yu subconsciously looked at the clothes in the master's hand, only to see that the clothes looked very gorgeous.

In other words, it's not gorgeous. The shape of the clothes itself is not bad, but it seems to have a faint radiance, so it looks particularly special.

"Which shop is this dress made from? What kind of fabric is it?"

"Hey, you don't know. This is the Golden Thread God's Clothes, a treasure gifted by the Emperor of Heaven to the Demon-Conquering Palace in the Far North. Your master and I are different from the past. From now on, we will work under the Demon-Conquering Saint Lord~~~"

Hearing the master's cheerful and obviously sullen tone, Xiao Yuzhi was shocked and couldn't help but feel happy at the same time. He hadn't seen his master look like this for a long time.

"The Demon-Conquering Holy Lord, this sounds a bit familiar."

"Nonsense, of course I'm familiar with it, it's the True Monarch who conquers demons with great power, protects the country, protects the country, and extinguishes misfortune and manifests his sage!"

"ah?"

Xiao Yuzhi was stunned for a moment.

"But Master, isn't that the Great God of Demon Subduing?"

"That's right!"

"Yes, but you said you want to work for him, then you..."

Xiao Yuzhi was stunned and found that his master had already put on his clothes neatly. He was a tall figure wearing a divine robe and a crown of wings.

My back is no longer rickety, and my figure is fuller, just like what Master used to brag about when he was young.

At this moment, the old instructor smiled and turned to look at the stunned disciple, and continued what he had said.

"Then your master and I will naturally become gods too!"

Xiao Yuzhi's eyes widened, but he saw that his master had walked towards the gate step by step, then towards the courtyard gate. When he reached the gate, he turned back to look at the stunned disciples.

"From now on, Master will be watching you from heaven. You must remember it clearly. You must not commit adultery or commit evil. Otherwise, Master will personally come to arrest you when the time comes! Well, let's go!"

Seeing that the master was about to leave, Xiao Yuzhi realized what he was doing and hurriedly chased him out.

But in the dream, my feet seemed to be hundreds of times heavier, and I couldn't run fast. When I arrived in the courtyard, I saw Master stepping on the clouds and heading up to the sky.

"Master——"

With a shout, Xiao Yuzhi shuddered and woke up from his sleep.

As soon as I opened my eyes, the surroundings were dim and dim. Everything was very quiet in the night. Master's body, the candlelight under the door, and the mourning hall remained unchanged.

"Hoo"

Then a chill hit him, Xiao Yuzhi shrank down and found that he was covered with a piece of clothing. It turned out to be just a dream.

"Why, did you dream about your master?"

Yi Shuyuan's voice came from the side. Xiao Yuzhi looked to one side and saw Mr. Yi looking at him with concern, and immediately smiled.

"Yes, I dreamed about Master."

Shi Sheng, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by Xiao Yu's shout. He looked at the latter and immediately opened his mouth slightly. Brother Xiao actually smiled!

"It's human nature to have thoughts every day and dreams every night. Maybe your master is afraid that you will be too sad, so he came here to entrust you with your dreams!"

"Yes, it should be Master who specially came to entrust me with my dream."

Xiao Yuzhi still had a smile on his face at this moment. The dream was too real. He looked at Yi Shuyuandao.

"Sir, do you know what the master said in the dream? He said that he was going to serve as a god under the True Monarch Xian Sheng!"

"The True Monarch of Revealing the Holy One, isn't that the Holy Lord of Subduing Demons?"

"yes!"

Yi Shuyuan smiled and nodded.

"A good place, suitable for an old coach!"

Xiao Yuzhi was slightly surprised.

"Sir, do you believe this?"

Yi Shuyuan smiled.

"This is good news. Why don't you believe it? People like Mr. Lu will definitely not suffer after death. It is not surprising that he can become a god."

"Sir, you are right, but you are a Confucian scholar, how can you believe such a thing?"

"Hahahaha, your master asked me that too."

Above the mourning hall, during the vigil, the people watching did not feel too sad at the moment. Instead, they smiled. Even Shi Sheng grinned. After hearing Brother Xiao say that his master became a god, Shi Sheng had already felt something in his heart.

At dawn the next day, when other people came over, Xiao Yuzhi was much better today than yesterday's decadence.

The events behind the old coach's death are gradually coming to an end, including the rituals, the coffin, and the burial.

Some time has passed since I finished dealing with Master's major matters and all the trivial matters.

On this day, Xiao Yuzhi went to the Yamen, handed over the key to the old house to Wang Baotou, and asked him to take care of the house and courtyard, while he prepared to embark on the road to the world.

Yi Shuyuan and Shi Sheng sent Xiao Yuzhi to the gate of Yuanjiang County, and they stopped until they reached the south gate.

"Mr. Yi, Shi Sheng, just send them here. It's not like I won't come back!"

Xiao Yuzhi said this, but Shi Sheng said seriously.

"But you may not be able to see Master and me when you come back next time."

Xiao Yuzhi grinned, this kid.

"Shi Sheng, you are actually in good physical condition. Practice more with the stances I teach you, and you will be able to develop good martial arts in the future!"

"oh"

In fact, Yi Shuyuan had taught Shi Sheng these postures for a while before, but he had neglected to practice them. On the contrary, Xiao Yuzhi had been teaching them very seriously in the past few days, so Shi Sheng was forced to practice hard for a while.

Yi Shuyuan also smiled.

"Well, I have to say goodbye after a long journey, and we will see you again in the future."

"Well, sir, take care, Shi Sheng, take care, Xiao Yuzhi bids farewell!"

Xiao Yuzhi clasped his fists in a heavy salute, perhaps because of his master. Although he had not known Master Yi Shuyuan for a long time, he already regarded him as an elder who had known him for many years.

When Yi Shuyuan handed over his hand, Shi Sheng followed the example of Jianghu people and clasped his fists in salute, and said seriously.

"See you later!"

"See you later!"

Xiao Yuzhi reached out and pinched Shi Sheng's cheek, then took two steps back, turned around and left along the official road.
