Ruyi [published edition]

Million simply sat on the steps and said to the child, "Brother Ang brought me here."

The child opened and closed his mouth for a long time before saying, "Then what did he tell you?"

Wan Wan tilted his head and thought for a while, "When I want to eat, come to find you?"

The child wrinkled his nose, turned his back to continue to sweep the floor viciously.

Wan Wan asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

The child's back froze for a moment, and it took a long time before he replied in a muffled voice, "...Mingyu."

Obviously he just said his name, but the voice sounded resentful and unwilling, which made Wan Wan puzzled.

"By the way, do you know Yuguquan?" Wanwan asked the child.

Mingyu turned her head and stared at him unwillingly, "You sweep the floor for me, and I'll tell you."

Wanwan is not a stingy person, so he stood up immediately, took the broom readily, and asked Mingyu while sweeping, "Do you want to bury these leaves? Or burn them?"

Mingyu stared at him and said, "I told you to sweep the floor, not to burn the mountain, of course I buried it!"

Wan Wan felt that he was just a child, so he didn't bother with him, so he smiled and went to sweep the floor.

Mingyu watched him sweep the floor boredly, finally couldn't hold back, and asked him, "What do you want to know about Yuguquan?"

Wan Wan didn't want to talk too much with him, so he just said, "There is a patient at home."

Mingyu sneered, and said, "It's useless for you to beg Yugu, she is being punished by Lord Hengshan and can't take care of herself, even if you smash her head, it's useless."

Wanwan didn't understand what he said, so he asked half-jokingly, "Who is Yugu, is she also a fairy?"

"She's a fairy?" Mingyu said disdainfully, "Then I'm a Buddha."

Wanwan said "Oh", Mingyu saw him like this, but didn't explain, smiled, shook his hand, and threw it into the air, Wanwan also raised his head, only to see flowers falling in midair, as if Like snowflakes, it spread all over the ground, and the strange fragrance surged, making people almost breathless.

The delicate and beautiful petals fell on the ground one after another, Wan Wan hesitated for a moment, and reached out to touch it, it was indeed true.If it's a trick, a child can't conjure so many in a short time, almost covering the entire backyard.

Wanwan was so surprised that he couldn't speak, Mingyu said to him like a warning, "I don't know if you are pretending to be stupid or really stupid, but if you want to survive, don't do stupid things."

Wan Wan asked him, "Is it a foolish thing to go to Yugu Spring?"

Mingyu snorted and said, "Of course it's stupid. Her heart is made of iron and stone. Her own son was almost killed by her. If you want her to save people, just dream."

Wan Wan didn't speak for a long time. It's not that he didn't believe in gods and monsters, but he was still a little confused.

In the evening, Wanwan was flustered and was looking at the carp in the altar, when Mingyu suddenly came over and said to him, "Your cousin is back, don't hurry up."

Wan Wan arrived in front of Wu Ciren's room, and saw that the door was slightly open, and there was no sound inside, and he didn't know whether there was someone or no one.Wanwan couldn't open the door and go straight in, so he boldly peeked inside.

Sure enough, there were two people in the room, Wan Wan saw a thin man standing by the table holding a few volumes of documents, that man was wearing a Taoist uniform, he seemed a bit of an outsider.

Wu Ciren sat under the lamp, holding a vermilion pen in his hand, and after reading a passage, he began to write. Sometimes when he encountered a problem, he pondered for a long time before writing on the page.Wan Wan thought to himself, this person is not afraid of getting the pages of the book messed up, and he turned the pages before he did it.

Wan Wan originally wanted to wait for the two of them to finish their work before knocking on the door and entering, but after peeking at it for a long time, he couldn't see that the book was turned to the end, so he became puzzled, frowned, and clicked on the pages that Wu Ciren had turned over. Come on, when he counted until his scalp became numb, he came back to his senses, the book couldn't possibly be that thick.I'm afraid there is some magic, so the pages of the book are endless.

Looking at the quiet figures of the two people under the lamp, Wanwan didn't know why he felt so angry. Suddenly he coughed twice and said, "Excuse me, can I go in?"

Then, without waiting for an answer, he went in.

Wu Ciren and the skinny man looked at the millionaire who entered through the door. Wu Ciren looked at him a few times and said to the man at the table, "Do you recognize him?"

The man shook his head.

Wan Wan thought to himself, if he recognized me, it would be a ghost.

But at that time, Wu Ciren said with a half-smile, "If it's true this time, then you have to call someone uncle."

Million could not help but shiver.

The thin man's sharp eyes fell on him, like shining daggers, really piercing.

"Are you Zeng Fan?" Wanwan asked him straight to the point.

The thin man was still holding the scroll in his hand, with an indifferent expression on his face, instead of answering his words, he asked him, "Then you are wishful?"

Wanwan was stunned for a moment, this was not the first time he had heard this name, didn't the little boy named Mingyu mentioned this name just now?

Wan Wan shook his head and said, "I don't know what you mean by wishful thinking. I came here to worship Yugu Spring, and I came here to find you just because of someone's entrustment."

Wu Ciren had been staring at him intently all this time, but now he asked, "Who entrusted me with what?"

That was just a sentence he used as a shield, and he never expected Wu Ciren to catch it and not let it go.Thinking of Ruibao's words, Wan Wan actually complained about this nephew in his heart.It is really ignorant for such a big person to become a Taoist priest just like this.He was so angry in his heart that he didn't go to see Wu Ciren. He said to Zeng Fan at that time, "Your father's body is not yet cold. You just abandoned your wife and son and became a Taoist priest. If your parents have knowledge, how can they rest in peace?"

The man holding the scroll trembled slightly, looked at him resentfully and said, "Yes, I'm sorry for my parents, but if the person next to your pillow has lied to you for more than ten years, even your own father would have been killed." , will you still grow old with her and stay together for the rest of your life?"

Wan Wan didn't expect that this person would be so angry, and from what this person said, I'm afraid his wife and son are not ordinary people.

Wan Wan hesitated for a long time before saying softly, "I'm just an outsider and don't know what happened to you. If that's the case, I have nothing to say."

The man lowered his eyes, gave a wry smile, and said to him, "You monsters, don't try to use that person's name to deceive people. In the end, not all of them were spotted by the emperor? After you let you go back, you can't be fooled." There's nothing to end up with."

Wanwan didn't explain any more, just said, "You are right."

Wu Ciren looked at Bai Wan thoughtfully for a few times, and then told the man, "Send all the ones that I have approved, and tell them to send them the next day."

The man was a little puzzled and asked, "But these are all for tomorrow."

Wu Ciren frowned, and said, "I'll ask him to pick it up at night after the approval, and you can go and rest after sending it back."

The man hesitated for a moment, then left, but when he walked out, he looked back at the two of them, his expression seemed a little confused.

Seeing that the man had gone out, Wu Ciren said to Baiwan, "If you want to go to Yugu Spring, you can also stay here."

Looking at him, Wan Wan couldn't help hesitating.To be honest, from the time he met Wu Ciren's eyes just now, he has already retreated in his heart.

But Young Master Gu can't just live a life of being foolish and foolish. If there is a glimmer of hope, he still can't help but want to give it a try.The Gu family may have lied to him at the beginning, but it's not like he couldn't see the love for taking care of him all these years.

Wanwan lowered his head, and instead of looking into Wu Ciren's eyes, he just said politely, "Thank you so much, but I don't know who to give the money for tea and dinner?"

Wu Ciren put down his pen, walked slowly to his side, and asked him in a low voice, "You really don't know Ruyi?"

Wan Wan didn't look up, but a dense layer of sweat broke out in his palms. For some reason, he was really afraid of this person.

"I really don't know." Million replied stiffly.

Wu Ciren frowned and asked him, "Are you afraid of me?"

Wan Wan hurriedly laughed, but he also felt that his laughter was fake, so he said, "Look at you, I am in awe, really, how can you call it fear?"

Wu Ciren didn't speak for a long time, Wan Wan sneaked a glance at him, saw that he was looking at him quietly, Wan Wan touched his face in doubt, is there something weird on his face?

Wu Ciren looked away calmly, and asked lightly, "Have you offended anyone?"

Wan Wan didn't know why this person said that, so he asked him, "What's the matter? Asking this all of a sudden?"

Wu Ciren squinted his eyes and asked him, "You have been cursed, did you not feel it?"

Bai Wan didn't believe him, but he followed the words and said, "Then ask the immortal master to help me see, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

Wu Ciren seemed unhappy, and said, "Aren't you living a good life?"

Wan Wan thought to himself, since there is no problem, why are you mentioning it?But there was still a smile on his face, accompanied him politely, and said, "It was I who said something wrong, Master Immortal, don't care about people like me."

Wu Ciren stared at his face for a while, then suddenly said, "The spell on your body is a bit weird, I can't undo it, let's talk about it when that old guy comes back. I'll take you back to your room first."

Wan Wan secretly laughed in his heart, thinking that if this person pretends to be a ghost, once he says he wants to be serious, won't he be dead?

But it's not easy to show it on the face, so I just said solemnly, "Then I'll have to thank Immortal Master."

The two of them walked quietly under the moonlight, one in front and one behind. Although it was already spring, the mountain was very cloudy, and the wind was still a little chilly on the face. Wan Wan couldn't help it for a while, and even hit two people in a row. sneeze.

When Wu Ciren came out, he was only wearing a short shirt. Seeing that he was cold, he took off the short shirt and said lightly, "The night in the mountains is colder than outside. If you want to stay here for a long time, call Mingyu will make some clothes for you."

Seeing that this man was not afraid of the cold at all, Wan Wan was a little surprised, so he readily took it over, thanked him, and said half-jokingly, "He can do everything."

Wu Ciren glanced at him and said, "He learned it by himself, no one forced him."

Wanwan was a little embarrassed, thinking to himself, I didn't say that you are strict as a master, why did you say such a sentence suddenly.

Wu Ciren said again, "He has something on his mind, so he should learn to do something so that he won't think about it."

Wan Wan thought, what are you explaining to me?But it's not easy to answer rashly, just smiled ambiguously.

Wu Ciren said that he was taking him back to the back room, but for some reason, the road seemed to be very long. At night, there were small insects screaming in the grass, and the low branches of the cypress trees by the road scraped him. Wu Ciren folded the outer shirt, handed it to him, and said, "The fragrance of this cypress branch can soothe the nerves."

Wanwan was a little embarrassed, and didn't understand why this person was so nice to him suddenly, but he seemed a little embarrassed if he didn't answer, so he took it awkwardly, and said a word of thanks dryly.

Wu Ciren sent him to the door of the room without asking him to go in first, but just stared at him intently.

Wanwan coughed twice in embarrassment, Wu Ciren smiled lightly, and said as if talking to himself, "You don't look like him, but I don't know why, but I always feel that you look like him."

Although this person was obviously smiling, Wan Wan felt that this person was not happy at all.

Wan Wan's hand grasped the blouse tightly, and said in a low voice, "You are mistaken, I have never seen you before."

Wu Ciren's expression didn't change, he just said calmly, "Go to bed early, if you want anything tomorrow, just ask Mingyu."

Wanwan didn't dare to look back, and closed the door after entering the house, and then let out a long breath.

He already understood in his heart that the person Wu Ciren was looking for was Ruyi, who was really Zeng Fan's uncle.

Looking at the situation, I'm afraid that Yuguquan has a long relationship with Wu Ciren, and Ruibao asked him to come here in that person's name, even though it was for the sake of the young master, it was really not an honorable thing.

Besides, didn't Wu Ciren and Mingyu both say that he actually doesn't look like that person.

Wanwan quietly hid behind the door and looked out through the crack of the door.

Wu Ciren stood for a long time before leaving, Wanwan watched him walking back quietly all the time, the moonlight fell behind him, like a thin layer of snow.

Under the moonlight, that person's back looked particularly lonely.

Wan Wan didn't know why, and suddenly felt a little confused.

Wanwan tossed and turned on the bed at night, not feeling sleepy at all, and Bai Zhi was lying quietly beside his pillow, exuding a faint fragrance, Wanwan suddenly became angry, and cursed, "What kind of god is An De, it's obvious that it smells so good Can't sleep!"

Million turned over and sat up, sulked on the bed, thinking about what he was looking for, what he was doing to me, I said no, why is he still standing in front of my door watching?Is it impossible to wait for me to open the door and go out to catch up with him?

The blouse was neatly folded by him and placed on the low stool.Wanwan looked at the clothes, then at the cypress branch on the bed, feeling an unspeakable dark fire in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more he had a headache, he simply opened the door, threw the cypress branch out of the door, and then plugged it in. door, climbed onto the bed angrily, rolled up the quilt, and went to sleep, not thinking about it anymore.Those things have nothing to do with him at all, what do you want to do with it?

As a result, the next morning, Wanwan was woken up by a knock on the door.He fell asleep very late last night, and he didn't get enough sleep at this time, so he got up and opened the door in a daze, and saw Mingyu struggling to drag a wooden bucket standing outside the door and staring at him.

"Someone asked me to take care of your food and clothing," Mingyu said to him angrily, "I said, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour him?"

Wan Wan rubbed his eyes, and asked in confusion, "If you want to use money, I'll just give it to you? Why do you say such strange things?"

Mingyu sneered twice, and said, "Although I don't like him, don't you feel guilty for fooling him like this?"

Just as he was talking about Wan Wan's sore spot, he pursed his lips and said uncomfortably, "I've said no, but he's still suspicious, what can I do?"

Mingyu sarcastically said, "Sure enough, you are smart, you want to greet but you refuse, and your tail is so well hidden that even I can't see it."

Wanwan was also a little angry, and said, "I don't dare to bother the immortals. When I find Yugu Spring, I will leave and return to my hometown immediately, and I won't bother you anymore."

Of course he is not a young man acting against his will, and he must have the help of these people to find Yuguquan, so he can only be patient for now.

He looked at the blouse on the low stool, picked it up and grabbed it in his hand, secretly sulked, but then he thought again, why don't I return it to him first, and then check his tone by the way.

Wan Wan made up his mind, so he took the clothes and went to look for Wu Ciren, but the two happened to run into each other in the yard.

Wu Ciren was about to go out with a bamboo hat in his hand and a burden on his shoulders. When he saw Wan Wan coming, he smiled and said, "You got up early?"

Seeing that he was so polite, Wan Wan didn't feel like getting angry, and of course it was even harder to say that Mingyu started the trouble, so he just said, "I'll return your clothes."

Wu Ciren snorted, didn't care, and said, "You put it there, and I'll pick it up when I come back at night."

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, Wanwan hurriedly asked him, "Brother Ang, I don't know how to get to Yuguquan?"

Wu Ciren glanced at him, frowned and said, "That road is dangerous."

Wan Wan became stubborn and said, "How will you know if you don't try?"

Wu Ciren pondered for a moment, then said, "Why don't I take you there."

Wan Wan was overwhelmed with surprise, and quickly thanked, "Then I will thank the immortal master here first."

Seeing his anxiety, Wu Ciren seemed a little bit embarrassed, and said, "But I have to go to a place first, you can wait here for me to come back and look for you, it will only take about half an hour."

Wan Wan felt embarrassed, "If it's convenient, I'll go with you, okay? I'll also help you carry some burdens."

Wu Ciren actually smiled, looked at him and said, "It's not impossible to go together, I'm just going to see my mother, if you don't feel bored, you can come along."

Wan Wan murmured in his heart, why didn't an old mother come and live with him?

As a result, Wan Wan didn't understand until Wu Ciren said it.

The green tomb is surrounded by locust trees and surrounded by white stones. In the middle stands an inscription, which says that the tomb of the Wu Xu family in Anqing was erected by the unfilial son Hengshan Jun.

Wan Wan felt that the stele was really weird, but he didn't dare to speak nonsense, and just waited honestly.

Wu Ciren knelt in front of the tomb, quietly poured a glass of wine, and silently kowtowed three times.Wanwan knew that this person was wishing silently in his heart, but in his eyes, for some reason, he was also a little sentimental.

Although this person's mother is gone, she can still worship.

But he has only himself, the world is so big, but there is no place where he can kneel down and pay homage.

After Wu Ciren finished offering sacrifices, he stood up, patted the dirt on his body slowly, and then said to him, "I'll take you to Yugu Spring."

Wan Wan hurriedly followed, and the two of them walked on the road for a while, but they didn't even say a word.Wan Wan was very bored, so he said to himself, "I don't know if it is true that people are reincarnated after death?"

Wu Ciren glanced at him and said, "It's not necessarily true. I also have some concerns, so those who can't stay in the yang world, and some whose souls fly away and wander in the world. Others are heaven and man who have experienced calamities in the mortal world. After that, it will naturally return to heaven.”

Wanwan laughed when he heard this, and said, "Do heaven and man also suffer disasters? I thought only monsters have disasters?"

Wu Ciren frowned and said, "How can heaven and man be compared with monsters?"

Hearing this man's tone, Wanwan felt a little unhappy, but he still asked with a smile, "Did that day people have joys and sorrows, greed, and obsession like ordinary people?"

Wu Ciren was stunned for a moment, and said uncomfortably, "Maybe. Most of the people I know don't have those thoughts."

Wanwan curled his lips secretly, but deliberately echoed respectfully, "That's right, I can tell at a glance that you are an immortal master who has devoted himself to pure cultivation in this mountain."

Wu Ciren stopped there, looked at him intently, and said, "No, I'm here just to wait for someone."
