Talk about the world of mortals in detail

The old man in the kitchen looked in the direction of the courtyard door and his eyes widened. The pupils in his eyes were slightly dilated. The figure at the door was a bit unfamiliar, but yet so familiar.

The voice coming from the courtyard gate seemed to carry a melody, which made the old man see himself in a trance when he was young and frivolous, and also flashed back to various experiences after that.

"Mr. Yi Qi Tianshi."

The old man stood up holding the stove, walked to the kitchen door, and stared blankly at the two people who had come in at the courtyard door.

But after so many years, Mr. Yi is still the same as before, but the old man is surprisingly not too surprised, even though the former Mr. Yi seems to have grown old in the Yi family.

Yi Shuyuan groaned softly and gradually stopped speaking, and walked into the courtyard with a smile on his face.

In Yi Shuyuan's eyes, Ah Fei looked just like he did in the snowy mountains back then, with light shining in his eyes, and then gradually this figure overlapped with his current old appearance.

"Why, we're not welcome to come in?"

Yi Shuyuan joked like this, and the old man seemed to wake up from a dream, and his expression showed a bit of excitement.

Over the years, few things have excited the old man so much.

"Quickly, sir, Heavenly Master, please come in quickly, the water will boil soon!"

The old man invited the two people into the back room with quick steps, but the layout of the room meant that it was dark inside. Yi Shuyuan simply moved two stools from inside and handed one to Qi Zhongbin.

The master and apprentice were sitting under the eaves outside the house, just in time to watch A Fei light the fire and prepare it.

When the old man returned to the kitchen, the water in the pot had already boiled. He scooped up the boiling water and poured it into the prepared teapot. The smile on his face never faded.

Today I knew that a guest was coming, but I didn’t know who the guest was. I really didn’t expect such a surprise!

The stools were all moved out, and the old man simply moved out a small table, placed the teapot and teacups on it, and even rummaged for refreshments, some of which were left behind by the previous group of people in the world.

"Mr. Yi, Heavenly Master, please have some tea!"

The old man poured tea for the two of them himself, while Yi Shuyuan patted the corner of the bench where he was sitting and motioned for A Fei to come over and sit. The latter did not refuse and just sat aside.

Several months have passed since the summer solstice that happened in the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea. The weather has been alternately hot and cold, and today is the time of cool autumn.

The tea cup can warm your hands, and the steaming tea brings waves of mist.

In fact, Yi Shuyuan had many things to ask, including asking why A Fei didn't go home, asking why A Fei didn't get married, asking what A Fei had experienced in these years, and asking why A Fei was here.

But these questions seemed a little pale. It seemed that Yi Shuyuan could vaguely feel A Fei's complex emotions, and the answers were already contained therein.

So when the words came to his lips, what came out was another question.

"A Fei, did you know we were coming?"

The old man held the teacup, smiled, nodded and shook his head.

"I knew a guest was coming, but I didn't know it was Mr. Yi and Mr. Qi Tianshi. By the way, I also reserved a fresh fish to cook for Mr. Yi and Mr. Qi Tianshi later!"

"That would be great!"

Hui Mian's voice came out, and at the same time he jumped out of Yi Shuyuan's collar and landed on the small table, picking up a piece of cake by himself.

This voice made the old man look surprised. He had seen this mink next to Mr. Yi before, and Hui Mian turned to look at the old man and said.

"What, you don't recognize me anymore?"

"We know each other, but we don't know each other well enough!"

Mai Lingfei had killed monsters before, and he had encountered some other strange things over the years, so he was mentally prepared to see monsters that could talk.

With that said, A Fei stood up and bowed to Hui Mian.

"My Excellency, Mai Lingfei, let me get to know you again!"

This made Hui Mian slightly stunned. He put down the food in his hands, patted his paws, and bowed his hands to A Fei in return.

"My name is Hui Mian, and I am the protector of the Qiankun lineage!"

"Dharma protector?"

A Fei repeated it, while Qi Zhongbin on the side smiled.

"Master Mai, please don't connect Senior Gray with that locust demon back then. The two are incompatible. The little mink in front of you is beyond imagination!"

In fact, Qi Zhongbin doesn't need to say so much. "Senior Gray" is enough to explain the problem.

"Senior Hui, please have some tea!"

Mai Lingfei took another tea cup and poured a cup of tea for Hui Mian alone, which made Hui Mian smile. He already had a good impression of A Fei, and this would make him even more fond of him.

"You kid, no wonder my husband cares about you!"

Hearing this, Yi Shuyuan was noncommittal and just looked at Ah Fei with a smile.

"How many years have you lived here?"

"Nine years"

"Do you know that your nephew's family has been looking for you?"

Hearing this, A Fei nodded slightly ashamed.

"The rivers and lakes are a drag, no matter what the intentions or desires, so I won't disturb their peace. Just treat Mai Lingfei as dead!"

"Don't you want to find another successor?"

As he spoke, Yi Shuyuan picked up the tea cup and blew the foam away and took a sip. The tea was good tea, but it was also old tea. Although he hadn't asked yet, he knew that A Fei once had an apprentice.

Hearing this, a flash of recollection flashed in A Fei's eyes, which seemed to be slightly crystal clear. He remained silent for a long time, and then shook his head after a while.

"I don't want to look for him anymore, so as not to hurt anyone."

Yi Shuyuan reached out and patted Ah Fei on the shoulder, and suddenly thought of what happened in the snowy mountains back then, and what happened before he was taught the Art of Clearing the Heart by Ah Fei.

"Over the years, have many people come to you and begged you to accept him?"

When Ah Fei heard this, a hint of reminiscence appeared on his face. He remembered his past self and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"There were many people in the past who touched me. Maybe they reminded me of my former self."

As he said this, A Fei looked at Yi Shuyuan again. Back then in Yuanjiang County, he had already thought that Mr. Yi might enter Taoism through martial arts.

Later, at the Zhenjun Temple in Lingdong, that feeling became even stronger. At that time, the Heavenly Master called Mr. Yi Master, and he knew that it was not simple. And a competition outside the city allowed A Fei to see in advance that it was almost innate and superior. Wonderful.

Now that I see Mr. Yi again, everything is self-evident. Maybe this is what the so-called immortal is.

But for Ah Fei, he doesn't care too much about this now.

Qi Zhongbin just sat beside him and said nothing, while Hui Mian took a sip of tea and took the initiative to speak.

"Master Mai, tell me about the events of the past few years!"

"How can I finish it in half a minute? By the way, I'll take care of the fish!"

A Fei got up and went to the kitchen to kill fish, and Yi Shuyuan's calm voice came from behind.

"We're not in a hurry, we'll just take it slow!"

A Fei looked back and nodded subconsciously. Perhaps it was just like the poem that Mr. Yi recited when he came. It is rare for a few friends to stay, but when he looked back, he heard the laughter and was drunk in his dreams.

How many people are left in the world who can truly sit down and talk to each other?

Dreams of rivers and lakes, dreams of rivers and lakes.

The first half of Mai Lingfei's life can be said to be a wonderful one. As a young gangster, he was full of energy and pride, and as a young man, he was full of joy and vengeance and traveled to the end of the world!

It’s just that there are triumphs and disappointments in life. In fact, A Fei has always been a relatively emotional and loyal person. From the grassland to Dayong, from Dayan to the Western Regions, wherever he went, he often drew his sword to save him when he saw injustice. , and also do some deeper things.

When the land of Dayan was in chaos, A Fei stayed here for a long time and helped many rebels. He also became his confidante and had the closest moment to happiness.

Now it has become a thing of the past.

Perhaps this was the reason why Ah Fei had been somewhat dismissive of the so-called rebels. From his words, Yi Shuyuan learned that he had killed two rebel leaders with his own hands.

The years in the world make people grow old. What makes people grow old is not just the simple passage of time, but also the various regrets in the world that make people grow old.

The death of the beauty is one of them, Chi Qinghu's death because of the rebel army is also one of them, and the death of his direct disciple is also one of them.

Even the Mai family of Dayong Wulin was one of them, because the news about the innate realm finally came out, and a series of things happened that made A Fei completely heartbroken.

"The so-called rivers and lakes are just like the rivers and lakes that a fisherman can see when he goes boating. There are day and night, sunny days and wind and rain. Some things happen unexpectedly."

Ah Fei briefly talked about many things, and seemed to have said a lot in just a few words.

But this is also a period of Mai Lingfei's life, which must have been magnificent, thrilling, gentle and tender, and peaceful.

It's just that what A Fei said at this moment seemed to be quite calm, but the occasional glint in his eyes betrayed him, or perhaps, in front of Yi Shuyuan, A Fei's emotions had already been clearly displayed.

In fact, Mai Lingfei is still the same Mai Lingfei. Decades of hardship have changed him a lot, but there are some things that time cannot change, at least for some people.

Yi Shuyuan put down the tea cup and stood up, walking to the kitchen. At this moment, A Fei had already processed the fresh fish.

"Want to meet them?"

A Fei was slightly startled and turned to look at Yi Shuyuan.

"Who did the gentleman say he was meeting?"

"See what you want, see what you love!"

Outside, Qi Zhongbin looked into the distance outside the courtyard.

Someone there seemed to have returned again, it was Ban Yuguang who should have left long ago. The two people on the riverside just appeared a little strange. He was afraid that the old fisherman would be in trouble because of his and others' stay.

However, looking at the past from a distance, Ban Yuguang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw someone sitting there drinking tea in the courtyard, who didn't seem to be doing harm to others.

But Ban Yuguang did not leave immediately. Instead, he observed the trees in the distance for a while. Not long after, he saw a person coming out of the kitchen, who was one of the two people just by the river.

But at this moment, Ban Yuguang couldn't help but frown, not because he felt bad about the two of them, but because he suddenly felt that he had missed something.

This thought, this consideration, suddenly felt like I had seen that person before somewhere. No, it was not that I had seen him somewhere before, because it didn't feel familiar, more like I had heard it somewhere.
