Sheng Xuanyuan had originally planned to take Taiwei to practice at the foot of the mountain tomorrow, and even thought about what to say to Qiong Yi.
Su Ye suddenly said: "Otherwise, I will take you to find the famous jade craftsman tomorrow."
As soon as these words came out, Sheng Xuanyuan was a little surprised at first, then thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay." He has always been a resolute and resolute person, and he also knows that asking someone to make a jade is not something that can be done in a short time. Su Since Ye said he would take him there, he would do it first.
He asked: "Where is the jade craftsman?"
Su Ye replied: "Not in Yichuan."
"What about the tail?"
"This..." Su Ye was in trouble: "Let Lu Xiyan help you raise him for a few days. Anyway, it doesn't matter who you stay with as a relative of the tail."
Sheng Xuanyuan put one hand on his temple and frowned.
Tails: "Woof!"

The second day.
Qiong Yi came to the foot of Nanshan Mountain and was surprised not to see Sheng Xuanyuan.
After smelling her scent, a chubby brown figure carrying a series of "ding-dong-ding-dong" sounds ran towards her like a loose leg.
"Tail?" Qiong Yi looked left and right, but saw no one, "Why are you here? Where is Sheng Hao?"
The puppy couldn't speak. It could only run around in circles at her feet, pulling at Qiong Yi's body with its two front paws stained with sand. Qiong Yi quickly retreated to save her dress, squatted down and held down the noisy tail, and still glanced around: "Sheng Hao——"
There was silence in the forest.
Qiong Yi thought to himself: If Tai is here, he should be there too.
Will Sheng Hao not want his puppy anymore?
She stood up and walked up the mountain. As she walked, she put her hands to her mouth and said, "Sheng Hao, your tail is coming with me. Where are you?"
The tail followed her and barked "woof".
The girl's clear shout carried far away, followed by one or two dog barks, but unfortunately no one responded to her.
Qiong also looked at the tail with some disappointment, and suddenly noticed that something seemed to be tied to it. She squatted down and turned the tail over, with its belly facing up, holding it firmly with its four paws. Only then did she see the puppy's body. He actually tied up half a bank of money and a bamboo mailbox about the thickness of his little finger.
Qiong was also puzzled. She untied the rope quickly and seemed to enjoy having her tail scratched, making a purring sound.
No wonder I heard a jingling sound when I saw the tail just now. Holding the mailbox in her hand, Qiong Yi secretly cursed: In the past, there were flying pigeons delivering letters, now there are tails delivering letters!
I want to see what is written in this letter!
He opened the bamboo tube and poured out a note. After Qiong Yi unfolded it, his vision suddenly went dark.
What is this word? Can it be more scrawled?
All the calligraphy and painting are connected in one place. From the first character to the last character, there is no disconnection. Call it ugly, but the strokes are majestic and powerful. Call it beautiful, but it is not that level. Qiong Yi didn't recognize a single word, it was like he was reading a book from heaven!
She rubbed Tai Tai's head angrily: "Sheng Hao, you are playing with me!"
Qiong Yi still struggled hard and could barely recognize the words "travel far away" and "take care of". Combined with the half-money on the tail and the missing Sheng Xuanyuan, she finally understood.
Sheng Xuanyuan disappeared somewhere and asked her to help take care of the tail.
"I actually gave back the copper coins..." Qiong Yi weighed the half of the money, feeling that it was enough for him to eat for seven or eight days with a half-sized tail.
"Do you know why Sheng Hao went?"
Tails tilted his head: "Woof?"
"He handed you over to me, and you will be my puppy these days."
The tail wagged: "Woof!"
"Why did he leave suddenly?"
Tails shook his head: "Woof woof."
"Are you angry with me because... I don't let him call me by my name?"
Tails giggled: "Woof."
Qiong Yi said to herself: "Hey, this person is really difficult to understand." She scratched Tai's ears, and there was nothing wrong in the puppy's big dark eyes, which was carefree.
She laughed softly as she looked at it, and she stroked the fur and said, "It's better to have a little tail!"

Sheng Xuanyuan skipped school with Su Ye and took a boat from Qingfeng Town to a place called Chishan in the east of Yichuan to find what he called the best jade craftsman in the world and ask him to carve jade articles.
After traveling for two days, I arrived at Chishan and met the famous craftsman. This jade craftsman who lives in seclusion in the mountains is also a strange person. He has always loved watching swords all his life. When he heard that someone asked him to carve jade, he was also a spiritual practitioner, so he asked for a sword dance instead of gold or silver.
So, Sheng Xuanyuan and Su Ye danced the sword for him in his small courtyard for a whole day. The jade craftsman was so mesmerized that they were not satisfied with it all day long. Seeing the moon setting on the west mountain, the two of them were exhausted. He had no choice but to give up, stroking his hands and sighing, "It's a pity."
The two danced with their own sword techniques. Sheng Xuanyuan performed the Jichen sword technique of the Sheng family, while Su Ye danced the foil sword of the Su family. In terms of beauty, the sword technique of the Su family, which was originally used as a blessing dance, was naturally superior. , the power varies depending on the cultivation level, which allowed Sheng Xuanyuan to win back a victory in terms of perception.
When it got dark, Su Ye was paralyzed, and Sheng Xuanyuan was also extremely exhausted. He helped Su Ye rest and held his hand to the jade craftsman on the side: "Senior."
The jade craftsman twirled his long beard: "Come here."
Sheng Xuanyuan glanced at Su Ye. Su Ye was too tired to speak and waved his hand repeatedly to let him go by himself. He followed the jade craftsman into the house. There were several huge luminous pearls placed at the entrance of the room, which illuminated the hall brightly. On one side of the room, when he pushed the door and entered, it was filled with cabinets made of mahogany. Each cabinet was filled with Among the jades, there are still lifes and carved birds and animals, which are lifelike and beautiful.
The jade craftsman walked towards the back of the house holding the lamp: "I gave the jade to someone? To whom?"
Sheng Xuanyuan paused for a moment: "Friend."
"The one outside?"
"no."
The jade carpenter smiled and stopped, and Sheng Xuanyuan also stopped behind him. He patted his shoulder with a heavy hand and said with emotion in his eyes: "Young man, you are good at sword dancing."
The jade craftsman has seen many sword dances, but rarely praises them. He continued to walk forward, his footsteps light and slow: "My cultivation is very stable." The voice was particularly loud in the room.
"Thank you, senior."
He walked to a cabinet and stopped, took out a stone from the wooden box and asked, "How do you like this piece of jade?"
Sheng Xuanyuan didn't understand what good jade was and couldn't see the bright hall. He heard the jade craftsman ask: "What shape should it be carved into?"
"Senior, just carve it into whatever shape you think is suitable," he said.
The jade craftsman heard this and put the jade in his hand. The jade was rough and heavy, "What the recipient wants is the most suitable." He looked at Sheng Xuanyuan's dark pupils and said slowly: " Otherwise, if I give this piece of jade directly to you, it will be just a stone in your hands."
Sheng Xuanyuan seemed to understand: "What if it's just the intention?"
"Then it's up to you."
He rubbed the jade stone with one hand and felt that the stone was full in shape and white in color. He thought of Qiong Yi again, and her crisp and unique voice sounded in his mind unconsciously. He felt that she was very suitable for a bell, which was clear, crisp, and lively. However, if it were carved into a bell, the round bell would be monotonous and difficult to carve, and the rattle jade would not match the bell, and it would lose a bit of charm as an accessory.
Suddenly, Sheng Xuanyuan remembered the bluebells he had seen on the mountain.
He handed the jade back to the jade craftsman: "Senior, please carve it into a lily of the valley flower."
The jade craftsman thought for a while and felt that the shape of the jade was quite suitable. He said: "Okay, remember to pick it up in a month."

School.
Yang Xiaosi looked at Qiong Yi and said, "Senior sister, why do I feel that you have been so out of energy these past two days?"
Qiong Yi replied: "I'm not very energetic!"
"Really?" Yang Xiaosi asked winkingly while eating the biltong Qiong Yi bought for Taiwei.
Qiong Yi was indeed a little unhappy. Since Sheng Xuanyuan left, she always felt that a lot of things were missing. For example, when she went to sword practice in the morning, no one could talk to her. Another example was that the big living person in front of her was gone during class, and there was no cover. The things looked empty to Master Zhao, just like in normal arithmetic classes, she could just stretch her neck to look at the questions that she couldn't solve, but now she can't write them well.
She thought to herself: It is really important to have a wall in front of you.
You have to learn math skills well, that’s all!
In the past few days, except having an extra tail to relieve boredom, Qiong didn't think there was anything good about it.
She took Tai Tai around the town to buy food, and even went to Wa Village. Wei Xinxin was still timid when facing Tai Tai at first, but later she set an example by touching the dog's head, scratching the dog's belly, and holding the dog's paws. The little girl slowly began to I'm not afraid anymore, and getting along with the tail is getting better and better.
When she was dazed in class, Qiong Yi would occasionally wonder, how many days of leave did Sheng Hao take? Why was he able to apply for leave successfully?
Why is it that Master is willing to let him and Su Ye go, but won't approve my leave?
Which master did he ask for leave?
And, when will he come back?
Qiong Yi explained to himself: I hope Sheng Hao comes back because there is someone missing in the front position, which is really inconvenient, not for other reasons.
The first two days passed quickly.
On the third day, Qiong was also thinking: Did Sheng Hao leave suddenly because of my name? If so, he must be too stingy!
On the fourth day, Qiong Yi calculated the arithmetic problem in class five times, but the numbers he calculated were not the same five times. He was devastated: When will Sheng Hao come back? I don’t want to forget it anymore. If he really wants to call me Qiong Yi and can show me his files every day, I can’t let him call me...
On the fifth day, Qiong Yi read the wrong page while reciting the scriptures. Her master saw her and was scolded. She thought that if Sheng Xuanyuan was sitting in front of her, she might not be discovered by her master so easily: If... Sheng Hao was angry and left because of my name. As long as he comes back, if he wants to call me Qiong Yi, just let him call me Qiong Yi...
On the sixth day, Qiong Yi held her chin and was in a daze. She recalled Sheng Xuanyuan's expression when he handed her the Gantang cake, the silk he used to wipe the stone for her, and the way he looked at her and bent slightly from time to time. The corners of his lips could not be called a smile at all.
Where has Sheng Hao gone? He hasn't been back for so long. Is he dead?
Su Ye has also disappeared. Could it be that he was arranging funeral arrangements for him?
Why did he disappear? So many people wanted to ask me. I was just sitting at the table behind him. How could I know?
Qiong Yi waited until classes were over and walked slowly to her dormitory with her books in hand, thinking about today's homework, what to eat in the evening, and the front table that might still be empty tomorrow.
The accommodation was in front of her, and Qiong also pushed open the wooden door. Tails took advantage of the crack to get out and ran straight behind her. She was startled and turned around to call out to Tails. When she turned around, she saw a familiar figure standing there. The figure is not far away, wearing a blue robe, tied high in a ponytail, with a dark sword on his waist, and his posture is like a pine tree.
Qiong was also stunned.
Sheng Xuanyuan walked towards her and called out, "Tail."
Qiong Yi: "?"
he!
He actually called Tail first!
