The young man who knew the truth didn't know how to respond. Yu Nian was devastated for a moment, but he didn't expect that just as Sister Yingxiu left, he would also leave Yu County.
No wonder the young man was absent-minded. Strangely enough, he had never left the boundaries of Yu County in his entire life. The furthest thing was wandering near Qingnan Village, but it was still within Yu County.
Although he was forced to make a living in teahouses and restaurants when he was young due to family poverty, he had seen countless people from all walks of life. Whenever he heard the storytellers from the north and the south telling those legends, he was always fascinated. But now this is about to take him away from his homeland and go to the Sifang Immortal Mountain. After all, he is still a little reluctant to leave.
However, after the initial shock, Yu Ning smiled softly and thought to himself, it is exactly what the saying goes: "A good man aims in all directions." Being able to go to the world-famous Sifang Mountain to practice Taoism is something that many people yearn for and wish for. , now that we have such a good opportunity, how can we hesitate!
When he thought of the magical magic displayed by Lu Yingchao, Xingyan's heart surged even more!
Just looking back at the past, all I can see is confusion and confusion.
On the occasion of bidding farewell to Peach Blossom House where he has lived for seven years, the young man's state of mind for the rest of his life is as complicated as the flowers floating in the spring breeze. Although it is not perfect, he can always be carefree. However, in the face of all this familiarity, a faint feeling of separation quietly rose in the young man's heart.
"Director Lu, I'm a little worried. Look at Yi Xinqian's qualifications..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Yingchao shook his head gently and slowly, and the affection for children in the young man's words fell silent at this moment.
When the maid in green clothes heard this, she lowered her head in the crowd and was speechless for a long time. Yu Nian, who was worried at the moment, couldn't even see her expression.
Seeing Lu Yingchao being so cold and ruthless, Qi Nanhua said angrily: "Let her follow. It's just an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks. There are not many disciples on the mountain, so why not be more lively? After all, we are doing things on the mountain. These trivial matters are better than making a living in this world.”
Lu Yingchao knew that Qi Nanhua's problem with speaking without restraint must have occurred again.
I saw that my taciturn senior brother was still bowing his head and being speechless. Qi Nanhua, who was traveling without authorization, knew that even if he spoke, he could not change anything. He still glanced at Lu Yingchao angrily and muttered in a low voice: "Pedantic and stubborn. "
After a long time, the maid in green clothes slowly walked forward, with a firm look on her face, as if she had made a lot of determination, and said to Yu Nian in a soft voice: "You can just go up the mountain to practice well, I am in Taoyuan." Lou owes a lot of debt, where can he go?" She clenched her fist and touched the young man's chest lightly and said with a smile: "Given this opportunity, don't just plan to be a little master this time, Master Yu!"
Putting aside the childish love between Xin Qian and Yu Nian, Qi Nanhua couldn't help but feel a sore nose when he saw it. This young man who always shouted that he would become the number one kendo genius in Sifang Mountain felt quite eager to be able to do so at this moment. Have a confidante.
Yu Nian realized that he still had one thing unfinished, so he hurriedly pulled Xin Qian to the corner, and quietly stuffed the bag made of coarse cloth in his arms into the hands of the maid in green.
Xinqian was full of doubts and twisted the coarse cloth bag. The touch was not unfamiliar. She suddenly understood and returned it quickly.
Yu Nian grabbed Xin Qian's hand, stared seriously and said, "I heard Director Lu say before that Sifang Mountain doesn't need any silver, so you can just accept it. Don't have any worries. Do you still want to stay here all day long?" Are you at Taoyuan Tower? What's more, don't you want to redeem Mo Xiucai's hairpin? That is the last relic left to you by your father, you have to get it back."
The young man touched his nose and said with a shy smile: "Also, when you first entered Taoyuan Tower, I felt that the hairpin fit your temperament very well."
Yu Nian patted Xin Qian's shoulder, then changed the subject and said in a lowered voice: "Mo Xiucai's matter has become clearer. I'm just lucky. This time the Song Mansion also had some relationship with Mianxiang Tower, but according to Lu Daochang's instructions You can tell me that this matter has not been resolved smoothly. When we get to the mountain, I will find a way to help you find out more."
Xin Qian clasped Yu Nian's sleeves with both hands, nodded and said with choked eyes: "After entering the Immortal Sect, you must not be able to come to Taoyuan Tower at will, but correspondence is allowed. You are the only friend I have in Taoyuan Tower. I miss you so much." You are the only friend I have in Taoyuan Tower. "
After saying that, she turned around and glanced at the people who were staring here at the moment. She wiped the corners of her eyes with one hand, gathered her emotions, forced a smile and said, "Go ahead."
The maid in green clothes said this, but she didn't realize that her fingers were clutching the corner of Yu Nian's clothes harder and harder. In fact, deep in Xin Qian's heart, she had already regarded the boy as the closest person besides her father.
However, Yu Nian did not notice these details, turned around and left, running towards Lu Yingchao while waving goodbye to Xinqian, leaving only the girl's empty fingertips trembling slightly.
Xin Qian stopped where she was, looking confused, clenching her empty fist unconvincingly. It seems that God is always so stingy. She always feels that she has only been saying goodbye for more than ten years. According to the older generation, this is growth. The maid in Tsing Yi feels that this is wrong. It is better to say that it is loss.
Yu Nian turned around and smiled at Xin Qian who had a lonely face: "If you are not satisfied with your life in Taoyuan Tower, just tell me. If there are still people who treat you with cold eyes like before, I am not bragging. I will wait until you learn your skills in Sifang Mountain." , let’s see if I beat them up or not!” The young man raised his arm and patted his fleshless arm.
Xinqian nodded, looking at the young man who finally stood with the immortals in Sifang Mountain, and pursed his lips with a smile.
At this time, a slightly questioning question suddenly came from the corner of Chahao Lane: "Dad, you couldn't talk to me last time!"
Several people were startled. They followed the sound and looked over. They saw two people running from the right, one old and one young. They were not the two who joined forces with them to get rid of the mirror demon that day. At this moment, I saw that the girl was fine, but the old Taoist priest who had an extraordinary temperament seemed to have sucked the wind. He was panting, and his face was full of panic and anxiety. Where was there any trace of otherworldliness, a trace of crane bone fairy wind?
When Yu Nian saw that it was an old Taoist priest, he rushed up to them and blocked them.
The old Taoist priest was running anxiously when he was startled by the sudden appearance of Yu Nian. When he took a closer look, he saw that it was the boy from Taoyuanlou. His heart widened. He looked behind Yu Nian again and saw Lu Yingchao and another Sifangshan man. The disciple was still there, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, stopped, and murmured: "Crossing the mountains and ridges, burning incense and worshiping, the disasters will be dispersed and the lucky stars will come. Seek safety and climb to the immortal! Climb to the immortal!"
The girl was gasping for breath, still holding half of the bun tightly in her hand, and a few bits of dough could be seen at the corner of her mouth.
Lu Yingchao came over at this time and stood beside Yu Nian. He felt strange when he saw the old man and the young man anxious like ants on a hot pot.
Yu Nian was puzzled, and before he had time to ask, the girl had already complained unceremoniously: "It's all my fault, dad. He insisted on making a fortune for me early in the morning, saying that things are not going well these days, so I have to go back to Sifang Mountain." We must worship our master to avoid disaster."
Qi Nanhua asked the old Taoist priest: "Which lineage of ancestors are you from?"
The old Taoist priest didn't hide it either, "Empty Cicada Mountain."
Qi Nanhua made a sound, glanced at the old Taoist priest strangely, and asked in surprise: "Kongchan Mountain, I have visited it myself. Ever since I entered the sect, there have been many people on that mountain. It’s empty.”
Qi Nanhua recalled that when he first entered Sifang Mountain, he rode his flying sword to Kongchan Mountain. He planned to take a rest, but he was also very curious about this remote mountain, wondering which uncle was here. He was practicing in a local place, but when he came closer and took a look, he was instantly disappointed. He saw only the grass on the top of the mountain. Not to mention the silhouette of people, there was no trace of anyone who had been there recently.
Behind the atrium of the dojo, it can be seen that there used to be a magnificent main building, but now it has turned into a ghastly ruin. All the side halls above the second floor have collapsed, and the incense burner that once housed the incense is now no longer there. Only half of the body was left, lying in pieces on the ground, covered with a thick layer of incense ash. A few lush weeds and wild flowers grew out of the remains of the incense burner, dotted like white snow.
Qi Nanhua lowered his head and gently picked up the gravel in front of him. Obviously, these marks were not caused by strong winds and heavy rains, nor were they eroded by the years. It should be that an extremely serious incident happened here ten years ago or more. The main hall It was only after being affected that he became so desolate. The young Qi Nanhua thought silently for a moment, shook his head, and Yu Jian stood up and left again.
Qi Nanhua pinched his chin and asked happily: "This senior brother who is dressed in an immortal style, looking at your age, I am afraid you are older than our senior brother Hei Qiu from Yunlang Peak! Besides, I am making friends in Sifang Mountain. It’s so vast, but I’ve never seen you before.”
"Are you talking about Xiao Jing's victory?" The old Taoist priest suddenly seemed to be frightened. He turned to look at Lu Yingchao, his eyes seemed to be eagerly seeking the answer, and asked in surprise: "The black bean essence really sat in that position. Yet?"
Lu Yingchao nodded affirmatively.
"Do you still know his nickname when he was a child?" When Qi Nanhua heard this, he immediately became interested. He thought that if he could hear an embarrassing story about Xiao Jingsheng, he would definitely show it off after returning to the mountain. Who would let that black man? Mei Qiu is more than ten years older than us. He uses the excuse of being bored all day long and never gives a good look. Sometimes he accidentally violates the rules of the house, which is a heavier punishment. What's more, he is shamelessly creating something of his own. Yunlang Sandie boasted that Yunlang had unique skills, so when Qi Nanhua met the disciples of Yunlangfeng on the drum beating stage, they became even more enthusiastic and merciless.
The old Taoist priest swallowed his saliva and whispered to Qi Nanhua: "When the black bean spirit just started, his qualifications were mediocre. Even the skill of controlling the flying sword took a long time before he could barely master it."
Qi Nanhua laughed loudly and said, "If that's the case, I'd say these black coal briquettes just had a few more years of food than me!"
Lu Yingchao coughed lightly, hinting that there were others around.
Qi Nanhua turned a deaf ear and raised his head to signal the old Taoist priest to continue speaking.
Yu Nian and the others had never heard such interesting fairy tales, and they were very interested, which for a time diluted the sadness of parting.
The old Taoist priest licked his lips and continued: "One day, I don't know if he lost his strength or something, the black bean spirit couldn't control the flying sword, and he rushed straight into the Qingsong Spring in Xuannv Peak. What place is it? I don’t need to say more, right? The female disciples were so frightened that they almost ejected the black bean essence into a hedgehog. According to the memories of the person involved, the old woman from Xuannv Peak immediately carried the black bean essence to the clouds. When Lang Feng summoned his troops to question him, he unexpectedly turned out to be a stunned young man. He shook his head in front of all the disciples, and the old woman's face turned blue and purple with anger."
The old Taoist priest raised his eyebrows intentionally and said with a sneer: "Speaking of which, I really envy that boy. At that time, most of the Sifang Immortal Mountain Sect was composed of younger generation disciples. There were at least three to four hundred people at Xiao Jingsheng's age. , Haha, my cultivation is still shallow, so I will naturally be easily tempted."
Qi Nanhua clapped his hands and cheered, smiling from the corner of his mouth to the back of his ears.
Lu Yingchao was actually quite envious of Qi Nanhua's ability to talk to anyone. He seemed to be naturally good at sociability. When he traveled to Chang'an with him last year, he visited the tireless Master Ben Zang in Zenxin Temple, and went down to the people in the streets and alleys. Vendors in the market can chat happily, but using the master of a peak as a joke in public is really damaging to Sifangshan's face, so he reminded him: "Junior Brother Qi."
After that, he said to the two old Taoist priests: "Since the senior has changed his mind, please go up the mountain together. Don't rush the journey until it gets late."
As soon as Lu Yingchao's words came out, Qi Nanhua naturally did not dare to stay any longer. He coughed twice and the smile on his face stopped abruptly.
Yu Nian subconsciously glanced at Xinqian's reluctant eyes a few more times, "Xinqian, I'm leaving, I really have to leave!" The young man's figure walked further and further away.
After a long time, the maid in green who stood in the crowd of people could no longer see the backs of those figures, then she sighed lonely and walked back to Taoyuan Tower alone.
