After returning to the hotel, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, but Feng Yi and Yang Bufan were not sleepy.
There were so many outsiders here before, so I couldn't elaborate on many things. It was late at night, and the two masters and apprentices came to the roof of the hotel, sitting cross-legged while enjoying the gentle warm wind.
"Bufan, I have wronged you two for so many years."
Feng Yi said apologetically.
"Master, what are you talking about? It's not your intention to go to the First Emperor's Mausoleum. We are here to save people."
Yang Bufan immediately advised: "You couldn't come out after that. Master and I waited for a long time, but there was no news from you, so we returned to Maoshan.
Of course, everyone including Master, we all firmly believe that you are still alive and we will meet one day sooner or later."
"However, some people will never be seen again."
Looking at the bright stars in the sky, Feng Yi's tone was very solemn. Is this one Master Four Eyes, is that one Master Ikkyu, and Master Qianhe, numb...
"This war happened so suddenly that no one expected it."
Yang Bufan persuaded softly: "The enemy is well prepared, their offensive is fierce, and there are also ancient ferocious beasts making trouble and doing evil...
But Master, this matter has nothing to do with you. We all understand that if you were here, with your character, you would definitely be on the front line. This is not your fault."
"That's what I said, but I still can't get over this knot in my mind. There must be an outcome to this matter."
Feng Yi shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about it for now. How is your master's health?"
"It's not bad. We will write letters every now and then."
Yang Bufan said: "During the battle in Maoshan, we fled all the way back to Renjia Town. Unexpectedly, not long after we stayed, the invaders came again.
At that time, the master's old injury had not healed, and we were not strong enough. In desperation, they went to Hong Kong Island.
Because the master needed to be taken care of, the master and his wife left together.
My senior sister and I are both children, so we don't attract much attention, and we wanted to find you, so we stayed in China.
I didn’t expect that it would be twenty years ago.”
Tingting and the others are also on Hong Kong Island.
After hearing the news, Feng Yi felt relieved and asked: "How is the situation of the others?"
"The two masters were following the master, but after this battle, the master was in a very low mood. He said that he had been studying Taoism for more than forty years, but just when he was complacent about his little achievements, he received a wake-up call.
He was so ashamed that all his fellow apprentices had died, but he had to live alone. So, he expelled both fellow apprentices from the school..."
Feng Yi was surprised when he heard this: "Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were expelled from the school?"
"Yes, not only that, including my junior uncle and junior aunt, the master no longer taught them Taoism, but lived like ordinary people.
As for the two of us, we are both your disciples. He said that it would be up to you to decide whether we should stay or go after we find you."
Feng Yi sighed deeply when he heard this, remembering that when he first met Uncle Jiu, Uncle Jiu was not only in his prime, but also high-spirited. He had a high reputation and was loved throughout Renjia Town.
I didn't expect that after this battle, he would become so depressed that he would disband his sect.
Also, he was still bitter about not being able to participate in the war. Uncle Ninth experienced this scene personally, but he was not able to live and die with other brothers. Instead, he lived alone, so how could he feel so sorry in his heart?
"It's not his fault..."
Speaking of this, Feng Yiyi hesitated, then smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "That's all, I can't even look down on the happy knot myself, so how can I say anything wrong with Master."
"Uncle Qiu Sheng begged his master several times, but when he saw his resolute attitude, he left in desperation;
On the other hand, Uncle Wen Cai, although he was expelled from the school, rented a house near the place where Master stayed and would come to visit during holidays, but unfortunately he never saw Master."
Yang Bufan introduced.
"Well."
Feng nodded and asked: "By the way, where is your Uncle Ah Wei? Did he run away or surrender to the invaders?"
Ah Wei has done a lot of misdeeds in the past. He has never been a strong-willed person. Seeing that the invaders are so powerful, it is not surprising that he chooses to cooperate.
"Uncle Awei..."
Yang Bufan's expression was a little sad: "You guessed it wrong, Master. Master Awei never surrendered from beginning to end, and he was also an active member of the Anti-Japanese War.
After joining the master's sect, he corrected his previous shortcomings. Although his understanding was not high and his Taoist skills were not deep, his abilities were good and he was appreciated by the provincial leaders and became a big leader.
When the invaders arrived in Guangdong Province, he organized militia and guerrillas to deal with the enemies, and was eventually captured.
The enemy tortured him severely, but he did not give in. Because of his special status, the enemy wanted to obtain information from him and did not kill him, but various tortures were unavoidable.
He was originally slightly obese, but under the torture of the enemy, he lost weight to less than 80 kilograms. Even one of his legs was broken, the leg bones were shattered, and there was no possibility of healing.
Although we rescued him later, his body was too weak to go to Hong Kong Island with his master, so he stayed in Renjia Town.
Over the years, I would go to Renjia Town to see him from time to time. He was unable to continue working because of his injury, so he rested at home.
Those leaders spoke highly of him and received monthly subsidies, so there was no problem with food, clothing, and housing.
However, in the past two years, his health has been severely weakened, and I guess he may not be able to hold on for too long."
Unexpectedly, Ah Wei would transform into such an outstanding person, completely changing Feng Yi's previous evaluation and judgment of him.
After hearing Bufan say that Awei wouldn't last long, Feng Yi said sadly: "Bufan, let's go back to Renjia Town after we go to the provincial capital to deal with the ghosts of the invaders. I want to see your uncle Awei."
"Yes, Master."
Yang Bufan responded immediately.
A great war broke out in China, with heavy casualties and heavy casualties. All the former relatives and friends died of old age, and only a small number of people were left.
Next, the master and apprentice talked about other things, such as how Yang Bufan had survived all these years.
Yang Bufan replied: "Master, we heard that the capital was heavily guarded and protected by dragons from many dynasties, so the invaders were never able to break in.
After discussing with my senior sister, I felt that the capital was a good place, safe and well-informed, so we stayed in the capital.
Later, there were several incidents in the capital, and I participated in them. Gradually I gained some fame and my life became much more comfortable."
Yang Bufan said: "But I kept in mind Master's teachings that we practitioners must eliminate demons and defend the Tao. In addition, Master, you have traveled all over the world. I also wanted to learn from you, so I started to take the initiative to deal with these things. Unexpectedly,
In the end, I gained a good reputation, and all of this is inseparable from Master’s cultivation and teachings.”
