Chapter 25 Goodbye
(Thank you for your reward from ╭°ㄣ╰官网!)
Outside Mingde Gate, Chen Yizheng said goodbye to Master and disciple Sun Simiao.
After two nights and a daytime ideological struggle, Chen Yi made a "hard" decision, which was to not go back to Zhongnan Mountain with Sun Simiao's disciples, but stayed alone in Chang'an to search for the person he was looking for.
Sun Simiao was not surprised by Chen Yi's decision and accepted it readily. After giving some instructions and telling Chen Yi how to contact him if he had something to do. After he would come to Chang'an again in a short time, he led three disciples on his way back to Zhongnan Mountain.
Of course Chen Yi went out of the city to see him off.
After traveling to the Tang Dynasty, he received help from Master Sun Simiao and his disciples. In terms of emotion, he was a little attached to them and wanted to be with them all the time. He had to part with him for so many days, so he was naturally reluctant and a little sad. Especially for Ning Qing, the little Taoist nun, he developed a feeling of being unable to let go, and he separated, as if something was pulled away in his heart, and he felt a heavy sense of loss.
Ning Qing, who was riding on the horse, looked unhappy. The smile that had appeared on the ground was no longer visible. The look at Chen Yi was like a blame. Yesterday, after Chen Yi told her his decision, he burst into tears with anger. His little mouth was pouting and his eyes were full of hatred. But today, in front of Sun Simiao and his two senior brothers, he did not dare to show any anger.
"Master Sun, please walk slowly and take care of yourself!" Seeing Sun Simiaole stopping his mount, Chen Yi also stopped and bowed to say goodbye!
Master and disciple Sun Simiao rode back to Zhongnan Mountain. He got up early in the morning and prepared to arrive at Zongsheng Palace before dark.
This miracle doctor has a really good body. At such an old age, he can still ride a horse and run for dozens of miles, and go back and forth to Zhongnan Mountain without a carriage. This made Chen Yi admire and envious. He also observed Sun Simiao's skin and hair at close range, and finally came to a conclusion that the physical condition of this old Taoist was younger than he thought and full of vitality. Protecting youth forever is what everyone expects. Chen Yi also longed that his body can remain young like Sun Simiao in the future, and he will not look old even if he is old!
Sun Simiao looked at Chen Yi and smiled, and replied with a brief tribute: "Ziying, I will go back to Zhongnan Mountain for a few days first. It will not take too long. At most one or two months, or it may be a few days to come to Chang'an again. After I leave, you can continue to live in Anlai Inn. You don't need to worry about the housing money or something. I have already arranged it! Just tell the shopkeeper if you have anything, and he will help you solve it!"
"Thank you for your thoughtful arrangement!" Chen Yi quickly thanked!
Sun Simiao still smiled and signaled that Chen Yi didn’t have to be polite, and said again: “Zi Ying, during this period, you have stepped up your search for the person you are looking for. I hope that when I come to Chang'an again, I can see that you have been reunited with the person you are looking for! Auspicious people have their own celestial phenomena, I believe you can do it!”
"Thank you, Master, I hope everything can be as you said!"
Sun Simiao said nothing, greeted Chen Yi, pulled his horse's head, and ran south first. After the two male disciples Wang Chong and Liu Hai hugged and said goodbye to Chen Yi, they immediately followed. Ning Qing, who had been delayed until the end, looked at Chen Yi for a while after his master and two senior brothers ran away for a while, and there was a silence on his face, "Zi Ying, I'm leaving, you need to take care of yourself in Chang'an!"
"Qing'er, take care of yourself all the way. I believe you will come back to Chang'an with Master Sun soon. When you come to Chang'an again, I will take you out for fun!" Chen Yi smiled at Ning Qing and urged: "Let's go quickly, I won't be able to keep up with your master and two senior brothers in a while!"
Ning Qing looked at Chen Yi, looking like he was eager to speak but stopped. Finally, he didn't say anything else. He just looked at Chen Yi deeply, turned his horse's head, and chased her master and two senior brothers. Chen Yi stood there, watching Master Sun Simiao and the other four disappeared before returning to the city.
The horse that Chen Yi rode was given by Sun Simiao. It was a white mare of pretty good texture. It was a three-year-old mouth and was also his transportation tool for now and for a while. Horses of this era were like cars in later generations, and they were indispensable if they got used to it.
Chen Yi rode back to the inn slowly on his horse, and then fell on the couch and pillowed to think about his future plans.
During these days of living with Master and disciple Sun Simiao, although I felt that my living habits were very different from them, and I felt like I was restricted and I didn’t dare to show my personality. I could arrange my life with my own temperament. But once I was separated, Chen Yi still felt a little at a loss and didn’t know how to live. People are group animals, and they like to eat, talk with others, and complete these daily behaviors alone, and they will feel lonely, especially in Chang'an, who has no relatives and no one knows me, but instead makes a "hate" with others. At this time, he is even more intensely trying to find the followers who were originally following him.
-------------
Chen Yi could not stay in the inn all day alone.
In later generations, there were developed information consultations, Internet and TV accompanying them, so staying at home would not feel bored, but even so, Chen Yi did not become an otaku. He liked to go outdoors, get in touch with the sun, breathe fresh air, and get close to nature. He traveled to the Tang Dynasty. In this era without movies, TV, and Internet, without Ning Qing, a little beauty, he could not stay in the inn. In addition, there were too many things that he needed to "exploration", and many people needed him to search, so of course he had to go out for a walk! He bid farewell to Master Sun Simiao and his disciples, and stayed in the inn for about an hour. After thinking about a lot of things, he decided to go on the street.
Dressed neatly and brought the necessary things. With the eyes of the fat shopkeeper and the waiter, Chen Yi walked out of the inn door.
People have herds in their hearts. If they want to find people, they will definitely go to places with a lot of people. If they want to be found, they will always go to places with a lot of people or places where they are more often visited. Chen Yi decided to go to two lively places, East City and West City.
Because the place where he lives is close to the West Market, Chen Yi rode his horse directly to the West Market.
When I went to the West Market again, I still felt the bustling and lively inside like the small commodity market in later generations. The shouts of shouting and hawking were filled with ears. Various novel items were listed in the store and store stores, many of which Chen Yi had never seen. It was just that he was alone, without Ning Qing's company, and he had no interest in buying things. He stared at the passers-by, hoping to find out who he knew or knew him.
After walking through the Zuixian Tower, I saw that Hu Ji was still there to attract customers, but Chen Yi did not have the courage or interest to go in and walked by silently. It was not reasonable to go to such a place to have fun alone. In addition, when I came here, I had a grudge with others and my heart was covered with a shadow. I may need courage or another more realistic reason to go in again!
After walking among the crowd for a while, Chen Yi felt indifference. There were too many people, and it was really difficult to find someone or be noticed. Just like the train station where Chun went to or a meeting of tens of thousands of people in later generations, it was very difficult to find someone. If he had no interest in finding someone or being looked for, he walked out of the Fangmen of Xishi.
Standing on the street with a horse in his arms, an endless loneliness surged up, and once again felt that he didn’t know what to do or where to go!
There is no need to go to Dongshi. There are also many people there. It is not easy to find someone or be found. So where should we go?
As soon as the thought arose, Chen Yi thought of another place - Qujiangchi, which is also a place with many tourists. This park was listed as a royal garden during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but now it is open to the people. It is a place where scholars and literati like to stay. Many literati and elegant guests drink and discuss poetry. The young ladies in Chang'an City like to go there for different purposes, especially when the weather is pleasant now. Maybe they can find surprises there!
When he thought about it, he immediately took action. Chen Yi stepped on his horse and headed straight towards Qujiangchi, which was southeast of the city.
After about half an hour, Chen Yi came to Fang Street, not far from Qujiangchi, and found a place to store horses at the entrance of the park to send his mount. Following the crowd, he walked towards the seemingly colorful Qujiangchi, which was full of vitality.
The current Qujiangchi Lake is located in the same place as the Qujiangchi Ruins Park in Xi'an in later generations, but the architectural style is completely different. On the way to the park, there are trails for pedestrians, and on the side of the trail, there are lanes for horse-drawn carriages to walk. Chen Yi saw different decorative styles and carriages representing different identities passing by the park entrance and driving into Qujiangchi, but he didn't know where to go.
While walking slowly with his hands behind his back, another carriage drove past him. Chen Yi naturally turned his head and looked at the very exquisitely decorated carriage. This is a natural instinct action, and the nature of human eyes chasing novel things.
Just as Chen Yi looked at the carriage, the carriage slowed down, and some people lifted the curtain and looked out.
Because of the separation of a layer of yarn, Chen Yi couldn't see who was in the car, but it made him curious!
The carriage slowed down for a while and continued to move forward, but it was finally impossible to see. Chen Yi put away his thoughts and continued to walk into the park. When he first came to this very famous place, the first thing he thought of was to go inside and have a good time and think that he was a traveler who came here to see him!
But just as he looked around and wanted to find the best place to go, he heard someone say hello to him.
"Young Master Chen, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
The sound came from a path on the side. After hearing the greeting, Chen Yi immediately stopped and looked at the sound. After seeing who was greeting him clearly, he was very surprised!
Sometimes, some things are really coincidental. He stood on the street, changed his mind, and met a special person in a certain place!
Chapter completed!
