The wedding day of Yin Zhiping and Xiao Longnu happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival when the flowers were full and the moon was full. Two days later, the two went down the mountain to Lin'an to pay homage to Li Tomuchou's grave. Along the way, we visited mountains and rivers and enjoyed the scenery, but it was also treated as a honeymoon trip.
Although it is already mid-autumn, the flowers, plants and trees are not all withered and dry yet. Some are in full bloom in autumn, and most of them are still bearing fruit. However, it is also a good time to enjoy the scenery. Moreover, the climate in the south is warm, so they went all the way south, but they did not realize that the chill of winter was approaching.
We walked and stopped along the way, admiring the scenery along the way, but it took us more than two months to get to Lin'an. It was already winter, and it was already the winter weather of November. However, the climate in the south is warm, and Lin'an is not too cold at this time, similar to the late autumn in Zhongnan Mountain. And since the beginning of winter, there has not been a single snowfall.
Li Mochou's tomb is outside Lin'an City. It was already dusk on the day they arrived at Lin'an, so they went into the city to stay overnight. He rested that night, got up early the next morning, bought sacrifices, and then went out of the city to pay homage to Li Mochou's grave.
When he stood in front of Li Mochou's grave, Yin Zhiping's mood did not change much. Three years of seclusion and practice have made him look down upon many things. What's more, time is the elixir that heals everything and can heal many things.
His relationship with Li Mochou actually ended the night Li Mochou hurt him. No matter how much Li Mochou wanted to save her, or even tried to tie him to her by any means, it was impossible for Yin Zhiping to return to the way they were before with her. Li Mochou died to save him, and he felt more guilt and regret for Li Mochou. Rather than an inseparable affection.
The relationship between him and Li Mochou was full of love and hate. It¡¯s really a bit like ¡°it¡¯s still messy when it¡¯s constantly being cut.¡± But with Li Mochou's death, all this must have come to an end. After three years, Yin Zhiping has truly let go of this relationship.
Standing at Li Mochou's grave, he just stood silently for a moment, sighed leisurely, and then placed a handful of chrysanthemums in his hand in front of the tombstone. Then he and Xiao Longnu placed the incense, candles and other sacrifices one by one and worshiped solemnly.
"Sister, my husband has killed Zhao Zhijing to avenge you. Your soul in heaven, please rest in peace!"
When Yin Zhiping heard Xiao Longnu¡¯s words of comfort, he couldn¡¯t help but shook his head secretly. If Li Mochou really has a spirit in heaven, seeing how Xiao Longnu and he are now married, how can they rest in peace? It would be better if they don't turn into evil ghosts and come to pester them. But there is no need to say these words. The deceased is dead and there is no need to say anything more.
Since he buried Li Mochou more than three years ago and left Lin'an, he has never returned. But at the moment, Li Mochou's grave and the surrounding area don't look overgrown with weeds. It seems that someone comes to clean it from time to time. He guessed that it was probably Li Zhichang who sent someone to do it.
Since he left Lin'an. Li Zhichang took over his duties of presiding over the southern missionary work. Soon after, he was named the next leader of the Quanzhen Sect in his stead. For more than three years, Li Zhichang has basically stayed in Lin'an, presiding over the academic affairs in the south.
Li Zhichang was very aware of his relationship with Li Mochou and also knew the location of Li Mochou¡¯s grave. And he respects his senior brother very much. Since Li Zhichang is nearby, he can naturally take care of Li Mochou, the deceased "sister-in-law". Send someone to clean up from time to time. It's really not a big deal.
After the worship, Yin Zhiping and Xiao Longnu did not stay any longer and returned to Lin'an City.
That night, after the third watch drum was beaten in the city, Yin Zhiping flew out of the inn where he was staying, went up to the roof, and headed towards the Wanshou Temple. He went to Wanshou Temple with the intention of meeting Li Zhichang and thanking him in person.
That day, during the half-day journey from Wudang Mountain with Fang Zhizhen, Yin Zhiping also asked Fang Zhizhen about Li Zhichang's current situation. I know that Li Zhichang not only succeeded him as the leader of the church and succeeded him in presiding over the missionary affairs in the south, but also succeeded him as the director of Wanshou Temple.
??????????????????? However, the position of the master of Wanshou Temple is no longer a matter of words in Quanzhen Sect. Because the Wanshou Temple is a royal palace of the Song Dynasty, the appointment and replacement of the temple owner requires the emperor's instructions.
Emperor Lizong also saw that Yin Zhiping had left and was not interested in secular affairs, so he asked Li Zhichang to take Yin Zhiping's place. He often went to Wanshou Temple and was quite familiar with Li Zhichang. He knew that Li Zhichang was not only Yin Zhiping's junior brother, but also Yin Zhiping's right-hand assistant. When Yin Zhiping was away, he was in charge of all affairs. Now that Yin Zhiping has left, it is only natural for Li Zhichang to take over.
Emperor Lizong also gave Li Zhichang the title of "Zhenren Changmiao", but he did not ask Li Zhichang to take over the position of Yin Zhiping's national teacher.
Although Yin Zhiping left, LizongThe emperor did not take back the position of national advisor he was granted, which means that Yin Zhiping can still be regarded as the imperial advisor of the Song Dynasty. It's just that this national master has not shown his face for nearly four years.
Yin Zhiping started Qinggong, like a wild goose flying, and soon arrived at Wanshou Temple. He first stood on a tall building nearby and looked down, but he saw that there had been no big changes in Wanshou Temple for three years. However, some buildings have also changed slightly, and there are some more buildings that were not there when he left three years ago. It turns out that they have been modified and expanded in the past three years.
But the general layout has not changed, and Yin Zhiping can still clearly distinguish the locations of the main hall, the backyard, etc. After looking at it for a moment, he flew down and jumped straight to the residence of the master. Since Li Zhichang has taken over as the temple master in his place, his residence in the temple has probably been moved to the temple master's place.
Arriving on the roof of the bedroom where the Guanzhu lived, Yin Zhiping deliberately used his foot forcefully to make some noise. Then within a moment, he heard a soft sound from the bedroom window below, and then a figure flew up to the roof with a sword, looked at him and shouted: "Who is it?"
"Junior brother Li, we haven't seen each other for three years, why don't we recognize him as my brother?" Yin Zhiping saw that it was indeed Li Zhichang who came up, and laughed softly.
"Senior Brother Yin!?" Li Zhichang took a closer look and recognized Yin Zhiping, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Yin Zhiping moved forward two steps so that Li Zhichang could see more clearly.
¡°Senior Brother Yin, it¡¯s really you!¡± Li Zhichang recognized it accurately and hurriedly saluted with great joy.
After Yin Zhiping returned the gift, he went straight to the point and asked, "Junior brother Li, do you often send people to take care of Mochou's grave?"
"Yes." Li Zhichang nodded and asked, "Senior brother, have you been there already? I wonder when you came to Lin'an?"
Yin Zhiping first saluted him solemnly and thanked him, and replied: "I arrived yesterday evening and went to pay homage this morning."
Li Zhichang complained: "Since senior brother has already arrived, why don't you come today during the day so that I can entertain you? It's so late at night, but I'm completely unprepared."
"Why should we be so polite among our brothers?" Yin Zhiping shook his head and smiled, saying: "I have been living in seclusion in the mountains for more than three years and do not want to see people. Now I have developed a habit, so I took advantage of the night. Come, let¡¯s meet you alone.¡±
Li Zhichang smiled when he heard this and changed the subject: "I already know about the Chongyang Palace. Master is sending people everywhere to look for you in the rivers and lakes. Why don't you stay a few more moments that day so that you can meet Master?" "
Yin Zhiping sighed softly and said: "So what if we meet? So what if we don't meet? In fact, after meeting, I can roughly guess what the master wants to say to me, and I won't agree to him, so why make him sad?" ?¡±
Li Zhichang said: "Master actually regrets expelling you from the mountain gate three years ago. With your great contribution of killing Zhao Zhijing and saving Chongyang Palace from danger, master takes the opportunity to let you return to the mountain gate. It is easy to do." Senior brother, why are you doing this? Do you really have grudges against Master?"
Yin Zhiping shook his head when he heard this and said: "That's why I don't want to stay any longer. I told you my intention three years ago. I had this wish to leave the Quanzhen Sect. Now that I have left, If you go, then why go back?" He sighed and continued: "Let's not talk about these things. We haven't seen each other for three years, so let's talk about our feelings after goodbye."
Li Zhi saw that he had made up his mind and refused to talk about the matter, so he knew that no amount of persuasion would be of any use. After sighing, he gathered his mood and talked about the farewell with him on the roof.
The two of them talked for a while, and after about an hour, Yin Zhiping said goodbye and left. (To be continued.
