The river flows in the deep mountains, and the clear and sweet sound like beads falling on a jade plate seems to be a wonderful melody of nature.
The sun was gentle and charming, shining on the river beach with dazzling white flowers. There seemed to be many crystal gems flashing on the river surface, and it seemed as if countless elves were jumping and dancing.
The three of them rested for a while, then pulled the reins again and started galloping.
The mountain road ahead is very narrow, only one meter wide by visual inspection. The road is full of potholes and scattered with many rocks that have rolled down from the mountain.
Now that we have entered the Jianmen Pass, the mountain becomes steeper, and the cliffs on all sides are like knives and axes, making it difficult for even birds to fly.
Liu Ruyan was filled with sorrow and thought to herself: I only heard that Uncle Lei went to Jianmen. If he had really arrived at Jianmen, where would he stay at Jianmen? But now we have to find Uncle Lei first, maybe we can know what happened after I left? He was the last person I saw with my master before I ran away. Maybe he was the only one who knew the truth! But the land of Jianmenguan is so vast, and there are so few clues currently known about it. How to find it? …
When I think of all these embarrassing questions, I feel that there must be little hope of finding the master, and I can't help but feel extremely anxious and sad.
Luo Xiangxue followed him slowly, but she was extremely happy in her heart.
From the first time she saw Liu Ruyan in the mountains, a seed was sown in her heart for no reason, like a pebble thrown into water, causing ripples in her originally peaceful lake of heart. As a result, she was crystal clear and pure. The girl's heart was occupied by an extremely wonderful feeling.
She only felt that everything around her became beautiful and gentle. What she saw and heard, the sky above her head and the earth under her feet seemed to become wonderful and moving. As time goes by, this indescribable and wonderful feeling becomes stronger and deeper.
Ever since she parted with him that day on the Immortal Residence Post Road, her light heart suddenly felt a lot of melancholy for no apparent reason. For the first time in her heart, she felt care and longing for this handsome man whom she had only met twice.
Therefore, after he left, she felt as if she had lost her soul. No matter where she went, she often thought of him inadvertently.
Every time she thought of those wonderful scenes with him, a gentle smile would appear on her lips unconsciously.
This young man with a handsome appearance, a gentle temperament and a clean smile, after meeting him twice by chance, he accidentally broke into her heart. Those moments of loneliness and longing always made her uneasy.
After those bizarre and terrifying experiences at Feixian Temple, especially that morning, she had a fierce battle with the mysterious Taoist priest in the woods at the back of the mountain, which almost cost her her life.
In that critical situation, he was able to escape by chance. It must be said that he was extremely lucky, as if he was protected by gods.
And Hua Bufan, the young man who picked medicine, was very attentive to her. On the surface, he treated her as a friend and took care of her, but in fact, it was just to get close to her. His behavior was beyond the reach of ordinary friends. People with discerning eyes. Everyone could see that Hua Bufan was obviously attracted to her.
She was not a fool, she felt like a mirror in her heart, but he and Hua Bufan were from completely different worlds, and she only regarded him as a friend who met by chance. Ever since she met Liu Ruyan, her heart could no longer tolerate others. .
Therefore, when Hua Bufan's parents asked her about her family background that day at Hua Bufan's house, she had already guessed a little bit.
During the few days she went to Hua Bufan's home, they treated her as a distinguished guest and treated her with great courtesy. Later, when she was about to leave, Hua Bufan repeatedly asked her to stay, and finally plucked up the courage to blush under the willow tree. He hesitated and expressed his feelings to her.
Only then did she understand that when he heard on Peach Blossom Mountain that she was going to Feixian Temple, he would be so nervous and follow her like a follower. He volunteered to accompany her there, just because he was worried that she would Encounter danger.
In just a few days of getting along, Hua Bufan had already fallen deeply in love with her, fearing that she would leave suddenly. When he heard that she wanted to leave, he was reluctant to leave and tried hard to keep her, but little did he know that her heart already belonged to someone else, and she Having made up his mind to leave, he sneaked out quietly at night after his family was asleep.
She could see that Hua Bufan was a good person and had a deep love for her, but at this time she only had Liu Ruyan in her heart.
After coming out of the village, she went to a nearby horse farm and spent fifty taels of silver to buy a strong horse. She calculated that it had been quite some time since Liu Ruyan went to Cuihua Mountain, and it should be now She has taken her sister back to Wolong Valley.
That's why she wanted to rush to Wolong Valley to find him. After being separated from him for so many days, she really wanted to see him as soon as possible, and she was also silently worried about his safety in her heart! Only when she sees him will her heart feel at peace.
But I didn't want to meet him by accident on the way back. She had to believe that this was a destined fate! It was God who missed her so much that he arranged for them to meet.
Now that she really got what she wanted, she wanted to follow him. No matter where he went, no matter where the world was, she would follow him. She never wanted to leave him again!
Even if she is being sentimental and wishful thinking, as long as Liu Ruyan doesn't drive her away, she will always be by his side. She just hopes to see him and take care of him every day!
What she never expected was that his master Nanshan layman would disappear inexplicably at this time. So she made a plan to follow him openly on the pretext of helping him find his master, so that he had no reason to reject her. .
As she rode behind him, she couldn't help but think of what had happened in the past few days. When she thought of the scene when they met at the Yuelai Inn, the two drank and talked happily, burned incense in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and became friends of life and death. Juyi Road bid him farewell... Thinking of this scene, a touch of tenderness and joy arose in her heart.
Unknowingly, the three of them had run ten miles away along the mountain road. We arrived at a small mountain market town, which is located deep in the mountains. It is surrounded by towering mountains and cliffs, surrounding this small market town in the middle, presenting a closed and desolate scene.
There are only a dozen old and low tile-roofed houses in the entire market town, which look desolate and dilapidated due to years of disrepair and weather erosion. In some rooms, only some broken walls are left, and it looks like they will collapse at any time.
This is not so much a market town as a deserted mountain village.
Some cluttered shops have been set up on the street, selling only some daily necessities for home. In addition, there are several small tea shops, wine shops and noodle shops. The front doors of the shops are deserted and deserted, as if they haven't been there for a long time. Guests come to your door.
There is only one inn in the entire market town, located at the end of the street. The inn is narrow and simple, but it has a very noble name "Lanyuelou Inn".
After traveling for dozens of miles, the three of them felt a little tired and thirsty. He stopped in front of the inn, wanting to go in and have a rest.
The three of them tightened the reins of their horses, turned over and dismounted. Xu Feng looked around and saw a stone tablet standing on the street, which read: "Jianmen Town." He stroked his beard and said hesitantly: "This is the Jianmen Town. The door is closed, let’s go in and have something to eat first!”
Liu Ruyan glanced at Luo Xiangxue, smiled slightly and said, "Miss Luo, have you ever been to this Jianmen Pass?"
Luo Xiangxue looked around, shook her head, and said, "I have heard of this place before, but I have never been here. It is called Jianmen Town, and it seems that it is not far from Jianmen Pass!" She added After a pause, he covered his mouth and smiled, and said quietly, "Brother Liu, don't call me Miss Luo from now on. It sounds weird. Just call me Xiangxue!"
Liu Ruyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and joked: "Why? Is there any difference between calling you Miss Luo and calling you Miss Xiangxue?"
Luo Xiangxue's eyes flashed, she thought for a moment, and said faintly: "Oh, calling Miss Luo seems too harsh, as if we just met, but calling Xiangxue will feel much more intimate!"
Xu Feng said with a smile: "Okay, after walking such a long way, aren't you still hungry? Let's go in first and eat and chat." After that, the three of them tied their horses to the horse posts on the roadside.
At this time, a waiter who was taking a nap in front of the counter heard voices coming from the door. He opened his eyes quickly, came up to him with a smile, and greeted the three of them: "You three, please come in quickly!" With that, he moved the three of them in. People are welcomed into the hall.
The waiter took off the rag tied around his waist and wiped it randomly on a square table. Then he turned around and brought tea and refilled it for the three of them.
Then with a smile on his face, he introduced the store's signature delicacies to the three of them.
Xu Feng looked at the two of them and asked: "Nephew Liu Xian, Miss Luo, what do you want to eat?"
Liu Ruyan glanced at Luo Xiangxue and said, "Xiangxue, why don't you order some?"
Luo Xiangxue thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I think, just two roast chickens, three bowls of beef noodles, and three pots of fine bamboo leaf greens!"
Xu Feng and Liu Ruyan seemed to have no objection, smiling and nodding towards her. Xu Feng told the waiter to bring the wine and food quickly.
The waiter responded, and the three of them nodded and bowed, about to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, Xu Feng stopped the waiter again and asked: "Xiao Er, I want to ask you, how far is this place from Jianmen Pass?"
The waiter blinked and said with a smile: "This is already the boundary of Jianmen. Walk three miles further along the mountain road and you will see that Jianmen is closed!" After that, the three of them were asked to wait for a while, and the wine and food were immediately served. .
After a while, the food and wine were served. The three of them were already a little hungry, so they picked up the noodles and ate them.
After finishing the noodles, Liu Ruyan picked up the wine flask and filled the glasses for Xu Feng and Luo Xiangxue. He also poured a glass for himself. The three of them raised their glasses and drank it down.
Xu Feng pondered and said, "Where is Miss Luo from?"
Luo Xiangxue smiled and said, "The little girl is from Qin. I am really lucky to have met Xu Daxia this time!" After that, he raised another toast to Xu Feng.
