Still pity the grass and trees

Ji Tanyin still remembers the first time he saw Immortal Chiwei.In a moist white mist, a thin old man stood with his hands behind his back on a towering rock on the shore. His beard and hair were all white, and his beard hung down to his chest. It was blown by the sea wind and split into two branches.His face was flushed, there were two gleaming eyes in the deep-set eye sockets, the cheeks were sunken, the chin was sharp, and the loose skin had accumulated many wrinkles under the eyes and the corners of the mouth. He had a vicious look.

Ji Tanyin was very nervous, and secretly observed him, avoiding direct eye contact with the old man.

Before the boat docked, Xie Wufeng laughed and played with his lips: "Oh, master, why did you come to greet me personally, I'm terrified."

Immortal Chiwei frowned, and cursed: "Who is your master? Your master is dead!"

He said to Liang Shenhong's grandfather and grandson again, what are you sending them for?You should drown him at sea!

Liang Shenhong said: "Old Lu, what you said, if you drown him, we will have to lose three lives!"

Xie Wufeng yelled, Master, you are so cruel.

Immortal Chiwei shifted his eyes to Ji Tanyin, perhaps seeing him and Xie Wufeng getting close, and asked, "Who is this?"

Ji Tanyin saluted, and said first: "Senior, Brother Xie and I met on the road. I heard that he is from the island. I was curious for a while, so I came to have a look."

Xie Wufeng didn't dismantle his position. Anyway, the future is long, and the truth will always be revealed one day.Immortal Chiwei pondered, looked Ji Tanyin up and down, and didn't ask any more questions.

Amid the commotion, the fishing boat docked.Ji Tanyin stepped onto the land, and the rough sand and stones bit his feet, which felt very delicate.He looked at the beach lined with strange rocks, the rough houses, and the islanders coming and going, and suddenly realized that this might be his second hometown.

The fluffy white clouds change shape in the sky, sometimes fast, sometimes slowly drifting across Chiwei Island, life here is strangely peaceful on days when the storm is not coming.

In a flash, five months have passed.

Ji Tanyin was sun-dried like autumn wheat, and spent his days having fun on a small island. Hundreds of families on the island knew him within half a month.They are kind and tolerant, and they never deliberately inquire about the past of those who come to Chiwei Islet from outside to settle down, they only treat them as neighbors.Therefore, if Xie Wufeng hadn't told him, Ji Tanyin would never have noticed that this remote place is actually a crouching tiger, a hidden dragon, where more than a dozen martial arts masters of the previous generation live in seclusion.

But no one on the island has ever wielded a knife, used a gun, or picked up an ax, and it was just to chop wood.Anyone, as long as they allow themselves to blend into this tranquility, will not be willing to destroy it.

Ji Tanyin quickly adapted to the local diet and customs, and was deeply loved by Xie Wufeng's master Lu Shangping.Because of his handsome appearance and clean and sincere eyes, the fishermen on the island also love to tease him.

On Chiwei Islet, the first big joke Ji Tanyin made was when they first met Lu Shangping was respectfully called "Redtail Immortal".

At that time, Xie Wufeng, Liang Shenhong and his grandson laughed loudly, scaring away all the seagulls that were parked on the nearby reef.

Ji Tanyin was confused, standing awkwardly and helplessly, but Lu Shangping narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, nodded and said: "Good boy, I like it!"

It was only later that Ji Tanyin found out that the Chiwei Immortal was Lu Shangping's own name, and no one on the island would call him that.He came to his senses and knew that he had been tricked by Xie Wufeng again, so he ignored him for two days.

But one thing Xie Wufeng didn't lie was that Lu Shangping's temper was really weird.He has a sharp mouth and a bean curd heart, and he never refuses to let the wind fall in his words, and his staring eyes make people feel uneasy.

Xie Wufeng was used to having a hippie smile on his face, so he wasn't afraid of him. Ji Tanyin was a little scared at first, but later he found out that Lu Shangping had an extraordinary love for him, so he slowly let go of his guard.

Lu Shangping has a row of five large tile-roofed houses, Xie Wufeng and Ji Tanyin each shared one room for sleeping.Every night, after Master had a rest, they sneaked into the same room to sleep.Xie Wufeng protested many times, but Ji Tanyin insisted on not confessing to Lu Shangping, so he had no choice but to continue to have an affair.

After a month of this, Lu Shangping caught them late one night.

Ji Tanyin was nervous and embarrassed, but Xie Wufeng looked relaxed, and said mockingly: "Master, you really need to change your habit of listening to corners."

Lu Shangping blew his beard and stared for a long time, then said harshly: "I knew you had ghosts!"

After saying that, he walked away, and never mentioned this matter again.Ji Tanyin and Xie Wufeng murmured for a while, and moved into the same room openly.

In the evening, the sun was still hanging in the western sky, and bright waves shone on the sea.

One old and one young are holding their trouser legs and fishing with iron forks in the offshore.

Lu Shangping's two eagle-like eyes patrolled the sea surface non-stop, and every unlucky fish that passed by could not escape his sight.Seeing a green fish swimming by, he hurriedly called to Ji Tanyin: "My dear grandson!"

Ji Tanyin stabbed down nimbly, and the tip of the iron fork pierced through the fish's fin impartially. He bent down and held the struggling fish in his hand, and shouted: "Thank you Wufeng!"

No one agreed.Lu Shangping turned his head to look, and got angry, and scolded: "You villain!"

I saw a rattan chair on the shore, and a man was lying comfortably, with a book that was flipped and rattled by the sea breeze upside down.There is a wooden barrel on the left side of the wicker chair, and there are several sea fish flicking their tails in it.

"Master, you are both a good grandson and a villain, and your seniority is not right. A Yin and I are not incest?" A lazy voice with a smile sounded from under the book.

Lu Shangping blushed, and seemed to be stumped for a moment, Ji Tanyin said: "Stop talking nonsense, keep going!"

He tossed the fish he had caught, and a few drops of water splashed, and when it was about to hit the wicker chair, Xie Wufeng listened to the sound to identify its position, lifted the wooden barrel, and stopped firmly in a certain place in midair.

With a "plop", the fish entered the water.Xie Wufeng put down the barrel and continued to doze off.

When the sunlight gradually turned orange, Lu Shangping returned home first with the fish and shrimps he had caught. Before leaving, he quarreled with Xie Wufeng and returned victorious.

Ji Tanyin wandered barefoot on the beach, the fine and soft sand was embedded between the toes, it was warm and comfortable.

He is waiting for Liang Chun's boat.

"Why do you always make Uncle Lu angry." He walked to the wicker chair, tore off the book that Xie Wufeng had covered his face by two inches, stared into his eyes and asked.

"I'm used to it. I don't quarrel with him, he's still uncomfortable."

Seeing Ji Tanyin's disbelief, Xie Wufeng said again: "You should also quarrel with him, and he will live a long life."

Nonsense.Ji Tanyin picked up the booklet used to shade him, and tapped it on his forehead.

Xie Wufeng immediately sat up, grabbed Ji Tanyin's waist and pulled him onto his lap, then pinched his earlobe as punishment, and said with a low laugh: "Recently, I have become more and more courageous."

The overwhelmed old rattan chair made a sour sound.

In broad daylight, the two men were lying on the narrow wicker chair hugging each other. Even though there was no one around, only the sea breeze and seabirds, Ji Tanyin felt a little embarrassed.

"Uncle Xie! Ji Tanyin!" Liang Chun's small fishing boat finally arrived. From a distance, he waved his long pole to greet the two.

Liang Chun is a fool, and he still doesn't know which girl Xie Wufeng is married to. Every time he comes to Chiwei Island, he has to ask Ji Tanyin about it.

Hearing the call, Ji Tanyin hurriedly jumped off Xie Wufeng's lap, and ran towards the setting sun, asking as she ran, "Liang Chun, do you have a letter from me?"

Liang Chun tied the fishing boat to a sharp-edged rock on the shore, smiled and took out a letter written on yellow paper and a square mahogany box from the bag, and said to Ji Tanyin: "This is a gift from a chivalrous sister." Yes, people from the Crane Palace, what is the Crane Palace?"

"An organization in the martial arts in the Central Plains." Ji Tanyin hurriedly unfolded the letter paper, and Kong Yulin's neat handwriting appeared in front of his eyes. He smiled and read the letter while pacing along the beach. The setting sun shone warmly on his back.

"Buy salt, buy herbs, and receive letters!" Liang Chun yelled all the way, walking towards the village.

"What did you write?" Xie Wufeng stood up from the rattan chair, grabbed a handful of sand and hit Ji Tanyin's bare calf.

Ji Tanyin turned back and handed him the mahogany box. His bright eyes were full of joy, and he said cheerfully, "Second Senior Brother concocted an antidote for the poison of the demon wood. I ask you to try it."

Xie Wufeng has lived with this poison for many years, and he has no hope of getting rid of it. Besides, Kong Yulin has no medical skills and just follows the prescription. The efficacy of this pill is really doubtful.But Ji Tanyin was so excited, he couldn't bear to brush off the other party's kindness, so he solemnly accepted it, nodded and smiled, "Thank him for me."

Ji Tanyin grabbed Xie Wufeng's clothes, pushed him in front of him to block the light, put his head on his shoulder, and continued to read word by word.

"Ah!" He suddenly yelled, looking at Xie Wufeng with a look of surprise, speaking incoherently, "You...well, King Weiyang...he has become the emperor!"

Xie Wufeng was stunned, he was naturally also surprised, but when he met the butler of the Wangfu in Liangjia Village, he had expected it, so he was not as shocked as Ji Tanyin.

Ji Tanyin took ten lines at a glance and flipped a page hastily. Kong Yulin seemed to be very interested in this matter, and he wrote a lot. He relayed to Xie Wufeng: "The emperor passed away four months ago, and the crown prince ascended the throne. Yu Weiyang, now that Weiyang has ascended the throne, he needs to change his year name."

Hearing the word "voluntary", Xie Wufeng sneered.

"The new emperor reduced and exempted tax burdens, built water conservancy projects, purged the government, reused officials from the Luning Party, handed over eunuch Yan Jiaxu to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for punishment, and made his concubine Xie a noble concubine..." Ji Tanyin's voice grew louder the more he read. Low, finally stopped, and quietly glanced at Xie Wufeng.

Xie Wufeng's face was calm, but Ji Tanyin could feel his anger, that anger was calm, with a hint of helplessness and sadness.Seeing the red circles under his eyes, Ji Tanyin's heart ached unbearably, she stretched out her arms to hug him, and comforted him, "Don't be sad."

"Not sad," Xie Wufeng's voice was not as lazy as usual, but became a little dry due to suppressed emotions. He smiled, "A Yin threw himself into his arms, how could I be sad."

The two were silent for a while, Xie Wufeng rubbed his hair and asked, "What else did your brother write?"

Ji Tanyin tightened his arms, hugged him hard, took a step back and continued flipping through the letter paper, saying: "There is also the Xifan religion..."

"How about the Xifan religion?" Xie Wufeng asked very interestedly, trying to shake the past away from his eyes.

Ji Tanyin said: "The main force of the Ancuo Sect rejected all opinions and abolished the centuries-old rules of the Sect. From now on, the saintesses of the past do not need to take the beauty water. If they meet someone they love, they can marry them. It’s just that you have to give up the position of leader.”

Xie Wufeng agreed: "It should be so."

Ji Tanyin went on to read: "Wulin factions continue to hunt down the remaining evildoers of Zhuyue Pavilion. The four elders have already executed them. The rest of the disciples in the pavilion who were controlled by Huayueying with Nine Turns Yin-Yang Grass will be put to death for those who have killed many people. Those with minor crimes will be detoxified by Old Man Gongqian." , sent to Shaolin Temple to repent. Huayueying’s maid, Mingyan, is now locked in the Hengshan School’s dungeon. She explained all of Huayueying’s plots to Master Zhichun, and mentioned that when Huayueying was young, because her father didn’t like her as a woman, So he often pretends to be a son-in-law, trying every means to please his parents..."

There may be two or three secrets behind why Huayueying became the devil of today, but Ji Tanyin will never care about it, nor will she forgive her.Kong Yulin also obviously despised him, and after mentioning it briefly, he told about his current situation in detail, and told Ji Tanyin and Xie Wufeng to live a good life and return to Lingfeng for a short stay next year in Qingming.

Ji Tanyin sighed softly, folded the letter reluctantly, and said, "Second senior brother, everything is fine. His "Hexi Weiwenlu" has been written halfway."

"Your second senior brother is a capable person."

"He also said, let us live a good life, if you treat me badly, he will come to trouble you."

"When did I treat you badly?" Xie Wufeng pinched his lower back with a smirk, "Every time you say it's lighter, you'll be lighter, and if you say it's harder, I'll be harder..."

The fiery red sunset fell on Ji Tanyin's cheeks, he glanced around nervously, and shouted: "Xie Wufeng, you bastard!"

"Then you might as well be a jerk again." Xie Wufeng stepped forward and kissed him softly.

"Ji Tanyin! Uncle Xie! Grandpa Lu calls you back to eat!" Liang Chun's loud voice rang out in the village.

"Got it!" Ji Tanyin also replied loudly.

The melted sea surface was rippling with golden waves, and the breeze snaked between the houses, and when it reached the beach, it finally blew freely.The two figures held hands, basked in the wind, and drifted away amidst the sound of the waves.
