On the official road, because it was early winter, the weeds on both sides were almost withered and yellow.
Going deeper, among the weeds and jungles, there are gray-white turtle doves hurriedly passing by.
Fortunately, we were still close to Bianzhou, so there was no scene where the road would freeze to death.
Wen Tao looked solemn as he inserted the Longquan Sword back into the sword case and handed it to Li Jing.
"To be honest, Mr. Li, if we just talk about the Longquan Sword, it would be difficult to find the island..."
Li Jing put the sword box on his back again, frowned and said: "Isn't there no other way?"
"Young master Li, I don't know. Although Wen has some knowledge of the art of finding objects, he doesn't have the direction, so it's hard to make a hexagram..."
Worried that Li Jing would misunderstand, Wen Tao hurriedly explained, with a slightly tangled look on his face.
Li Jing sighed in his heart. When watching the anime before, he thought Wen Tao could set off with just this compass...
Moreover, I don’t even know the approximate location of that island.
China is vast, but its coastline is more than ten thousand miles long. The islands in the South China Sea and the East China Sea are like stars. If you look for them blindly, when will you find them...
Could it be that I have to go to Taiyuan?
The clown face of the Mirror Demon appeared in front of his eyes, and Li Jing frowned secretly.
Although he and Mirror Heart Demon have been friends for some years, there may be something wrong with him being a die-hard loyalist of Yuan Tiangang.
At this time, Wen Tao next to him mused again: "Since Mr. Li knows that Li Chunfeng has his collection of books, there is no need to worry so much. You must know that everything in the world is interconnected. If there is a fate in the future, this thing may be his. In the hands of Mr. Li..."
Li Jing sighed in his heart, gently held the horse's belly, and controlled the horse to move forward.
Wen Tao beside him just looked at Li Jing eagerly with his eyes.
In this case, why not give him the antidote...
Li Jing smiled faintly and took out two pills from his arms.
Wen Tao was immediately overjoyed, and when he looked closely, he saw that the poison was still black with white cloud patterns all over it.
"When the poison has not yet taken effect on the seventh day, you can take one pill. The poison hidden in your body will continue to lurk and will not take effect. In this way, the poison in your body can last for a while..."
Seeing Wen Tao's face freeze, Li Jing just smiled and continued: "I'm going south to Yuzhou soon. You can take this medicine in six days. If I haven't come back during this period, you can take it again in six days." One pill. In this way, the poison is suppressed by the medicine, and the dormant time will be longer. By then, I will return to Bianzhou to find you."
The eyes on Wen Tao's face were only bitter, and he smiled bitterly: "In that case, why don't Wen go to Yuzhou with Mr. Li?"
Li Jing waved his hand and said calmly.
"There are some private matters that need to be dealt with. It would not be appropriate for you and me to go there."
Li Jing had already said this, so Wen Tao naturally wouldn't insist anymore, he just reined in his horse and stopped where he was, handing over his hand.
"That being the case, Mr. Wen is waiting for Young Master Li near Bianzhou..."
Li Jing smiled and returned the gesture, then turned his horse's head and headed south.
I made a ten-day appointment with Li Xingyun.
It's almost here...
…………
Qingcheng Mountain, Jianlu.
I haven't returned for half a year, but the lake and water are still pleasant.
However, the bamboo covered bridge was covered with green and dried-up bamboo leaves due to lack of care by the owner.
Some weeds also grew up in the gaps between the bluestone slabs in the courtyard.
In the small lake in the distance, the thin ice caused by the cold also glowed white when illuminated by the gray sky.
Densely covered reeds and shrubs stretch endlessly, and the wilderness is endless. Looking over from Jianlu, one can vaguely see the steep mountain walls and lake shore. Weeds grow in the bamboo forest, connecting with the reeds and shrubs in the lake.
But I haven’t been back for a long time...
Lu Linxuan wiped the dust on the table with his hand and remained speechless.
She still remembered that eight years ago, when Uncle Yang brought her and her senior brother back, they were their apprentices in this thatched hut.
As spring passed and autumn came, white horses passed by, and the Jianlu, which was accompanied by her and her senior brother's happiness, actually felt a little dilapidated.
"Junior sister, what are you thinking about? Master, why isn't he in the house? Maybe he went to the back mountain..."
Li Xingyun's voice suddenly came from behind, startling the pensive Lu Linxuan a little.
Picking up the broken sword on the table, Lu Linxuan frowned and turned around.
Li Xingyun's body is a little taller, and the greenness on his face has faded a little at some point. He looks much more mature than when he first went down the mountain.
But her appearance seems not to be that similar to that Li Jing...
Lu Linxuan shook his head and said softly: "I just returned to Jianlu this morning. Master, he rested in the carriage for nearly ten days. He must have gone out to get some fresh air."
"We haven't been back to this Jianlu for a long time..."
Li Xingyun leaned against the door rail and was silent for a while when he heard the last words of his junior sister.
Ever since I came down from the mountain, my stable life has not been so peaceful.
First it’s the Xuanming Sect, and then it’s the bad people.
First, his identity was exposed, and then Yuan Tiangang wanted to support him in becoming emperor.
In the end, the master was poisoned...
The happy grudges in the Jianghu world in my mind seemed to never exist in this world.
But seeing the melancholy look on his junior sister's face, Li Xingyun still laughed and went over to pat her on the shoulder.
"Don't think too much. Isn't the master good? After Li Jing completely eliminates the problems in the master, we will live in seclusion in this sword house and live a happy life with the master, regardless of the mess outside. thing!"
Hearing his words, Lu Linxuan forced a smile, but his mind suddenly recalled the stern look of Li Jing in the forest before.
All the people are suffering, how can there be a life like idle clouds and wild cranes...
After shaking his head, Lu Linxuan walked out quickly.
"Let's go to the back mountain to see it. Master has always liked to go to the back mountain."
Li Xingyun scratched the back of his head and followed.
As long as the master is completely rescued, he can live in seclusion with peace of mind...
…………
Slates made of bluestone are paved on the path up the mountain, giving it a unique artistic conception.
The traces left by the years on it made Li Jing slightly confused.
The days when I and Uncle Yang were each other's master and apprentice seemed like just yesterday.
After a moment of silence, Li Jing just picked up her steps and continued walking up.
Different from Li Xingyun's agreement, the purpose of his trip was to go straight to the back mountain of Qingcheng Mountain.
There, it was also the place where he and Uncle Yang met for the first time.
Li Jing had a hunch that this was also the place where they met for the last time.
After a while, the soap-colored cloth boots finally stepped onto the last stone staircase.
The breeze blew through the bamboo forest, and the falling bamboo leaves flew past Li Jing.
The middle-aged man sitting on the boulder in the forest seemed to be no longer the same as before.
In his memory, his long black hair and his temples were dyed the color of snow.
The fish lines at the corners of his eyes also became more wrinkled.
Uncle Yang looked like an old man in a plain robe, holding a medical book in his hand and looking kind.
There was just a faint smile on his face, looking at the heroic young man in a soap-colored gown who was carrying a sword case from a distance.
"You came."
