Chapter 180: Reunion of Brothers
Longhu Mountain, Tianshi Mansion.
The steps were swept clean by Taoist priests in robes and holding brooms, and there was not even a leaf on the road.
Tourists are all in the front mountain, and few people would venture into the back mountain. And this is where the disciples of Tianshi Mansion practice.
"Hey, how did that old man get in?"
All the fellow disciples were startled and turned to look at the old man who was walking up the stairs in front of them.
I saw that the other person was not tall, with white beard and hair, and looked ordinary on the surface, except that his ears were big and conspicuous.
"Old man, are you here for tourism?"
"The back hills don't welcome guests, please turn around and go back."
The young Taoist said with a smile.
“I’m not a tourist.”
But the other party came closer in a few steps, with a look of nostalgia and trance on his face, and shook his head and replied.
"Is Zhang Zhiwei still here?"
Then the old man asked again.
The young Taoist was startled, with a hint of surprise on his face: "That's the old Taoist priest. Are you his guest?"
"guest?"
Zhang Huaiyi laughed and shook his head.
“Not really!”
"I just."
"Go home!"
The last three words were so low that the Taoist priest did not hear them. Instead, he was stunned for a moment and made a gesture with his hand.
"Since you are the old master's friend, please follow me!"
Zhang Huaiyi nodded and looked at the young Taoist priest with a smile: "Thank you for your trouble!"
The little Taoist priest's face turned red, he smiled and touched his head: "You're welcome, you're welcome!"
"What's your name?"
Zhang Huaiyi asked again.
"Zhang Lingyu."
The young Taoist priest replied.
Zhang Huaiyi was startled, looked at the other person carefully for a few times, and then nodded: "He is not much different in age from my Chu Lan."
Two figures, one big and one small, quickly walked up the stairs to the back mountain.
After a while.
Zhang Zhiwei walked out calmly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"Which old friend is visiting unexpectedly?"
He walked out while muttering to himself and smiling.
Directly opposite, Zhang Huaiyi, who was dressed in coarse cloth, raised his head with a smile on his face, looking at the old man in front of him who also had white hair and beard.
"Senior brother, long time no see!"
Zhang Zhiwei froze for a moment, a look of shock on his face: "Who are you?"
"Huai Yi?!"
Zhang Huaiyi nodded: "It's me!"
Zhang Zhiwei was even more surprised. He took a step forward and was in front of the other person. After taking a closer look and confirming his identity, he immediately pulled the other person up and said, "Come with me!"
Zhang Huaiyi did not refuse, but went with the other party.
Zhang Lingyu was a little dazed as he watched this scene. He clearly heard that his master called the old man "Junior Brother" just now.
In other words, this old man is also an elder of Longhu Mountain?
In a hidden room.
Zhang Zhiwei sat in his seat, and Zhang Lingyu poured tea for them while looking at Zhang Huaiyi curiously.
"Where have you been all these years?"
Zhang Zhiwei asked in a deep voice.
He felt a little emotional, as he had not expected that his fellow apprentice who had been missing for so many years would come back today.
"I wander around, I have no fixed place to live."
Zhang Huaiyi evaluated his life this year in one sentence.
"Now that you're back, don't leave!"
Zhang Zhiwei sighed.
“We still have to go!”
"Staying here will eventually lead to trouble."
Zhang Huaiyi smiled.
"Huai Yi, you don't have to be like this, you should understand!"
Zhang Zhiwei said in a deep voice.
"Back then, this was my own choice, so I shouldn't bother you anymore."
Zhang Huaiyi said.
Zhang Zhiwei clenched his fists, but in the end he just let out a long sigh.
Then, he waved his hand and said to Zhang Lingyu, "Go and call all your uncles."
He turned again and looked at Zhang Huaiyi.
"Since you're here, there should be time for a meal, right?" Zhang Huaiyi nodded with a smile: "My children and grandchildren have been arranged, I have plenty of time."
"That's good!"
Zhang Zhiwei also laughed.
Zhang Lingyu acted quickly and invited his uncle over in a short while.
When he saw Tian Jinzhong coming in a wheelchair, Zhang Huaiyi could no longer hold back and tears as big as beans flowed out.
“Jinzhong!!”
Zhang Huaiyi shouted through gritted teeth.
"After so many years, you finally decided to come back."
Tian Jinzhong's eyes also turned red.
"I'm sorry, Jinzhong!"
Zhang Huaiyi cried out in a crying voice.
"I never blamed you, and you don't need to blame yourself."
"When my master was alive, he said that this was the calamity I deserved to suffer."
Tian Jinzhong shook his head.
"I."
Zhang Huaiyi gritted his teeth but couldn't say anything.
But the hatred in it made him angry, and his apology and guilt towards Tian Jinzhong made him crazy.
No one can endure such pain and watch others fall into such a situation because of themselves.
"Okay, Huaiyi."
"Now that we are back, we brothers should get closer."
"The past is over. Haven't I been doing well over the years?"
"I'm used to it!"
Tian Jinzhong said with a smile, tears in his eyes.
Zhang Huaiyi suppressed all the emotions in his heart and just nodded: "Okay!"
The words "I'm used to it" made his heart even more turbulent.
He could deeply understand the pain and suffering behind these three words.
The three brothers reunited after decades of separation. They did not talk about the painful things in the past, but talked about the Tianshi Mansion and the funny things that happened between them. Bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
This went on for three days.
"Master, Uncle Huaiyi is missing!"
Zhang Lingyu got up early in the morning and when he served morning tea, he was shocked to find that the other party had disappeared, so he quickly told his master.
"I knew he wouldn't stay long!"
"Ugh!"
"You are already so old, and you still have to go through this."
Zhang Zhiwei sighed.
"Are you going down to look for him?"
Zhang Lingyu hesitated.
"The world is so big, if he can hide for decades without being discovered by us, he can certainly hide for longer."
"but!"
There was a pause.
"His two juniors both entered Trinity."
"Maybe I should find time to go to Trinity Gate."
Zhang Zhiwei sighed.
Having said that, he frowned slightly.
It’s not that easy to get into Trinity Gate.
After Jiangmen became an immortal, this sect became more and more ethereal and bizarre, and began to move away from the realm of ordinary mortals.
He also needs to think long term.
at the same time.
In front of the Trinity Gate.
Looking at the bare forest ahead, with nothing in it, Zhuge Qing, Zhang Chulan, and Zhang Yude all looked confused.
"Is this the Trinity Gate?"
"But where is Trinity Gate?"
Zhang Chulan asked blankly.
"Haha, if you want to enter our Trinity Sect, you need a special hand seal and the Qi in your body to mobilize in order to open the barrier."
"It is extremely difficult for ordinary people, even extraordinary people, to enter the mountain gate!"
Lu Jin said with a smile.
Then, he made a hand seal with both hands and shouted forward.
"open!"
The next second, the air twisted like lake water, rippling out, and slowly opened from both sides, revealing the real mountain gate.
