"Valley Master, this is a letter from Jiuxia."
Under the Begonia tree in Xifu, beside a rosewood marble table, a gorgeous woman sat there, carefully flipping through the medical classics in her hands.
The crabapple flowers have gradually withered, but the platycodon flowers planted along the trees are in full bloom.
Hongzhuang hurriedly walked through the corridor with a small piece of paper and came to Miwu's side.
Miwu put down the book in his hand, stretched, and then slowly took the letter from Hongzhuang's hand, muttering: "This damn girl, after leaving the valley, she acted like a wild swallow." , this time there will be no letter for a month."
The white letterhead was unfolded in Miwu's slender fingertips. There were only a few numbers, but her expression changed slightly.
Hongzhuang, who was standing next to her, understood her temperament best. One look at her expression and he knew something had happened: "But what happened to them?"
Mi Wu handed the letter in his hand to Hongzhuang: "Read it yourself."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the Xifu Begonia tree. By late summer, Xifu Begonia has already withered, leaving only the branches and leaves waiting for the coming of next spring.
Not long after, she heard Hongzhuang sighing behind her. Hongzhuang has been with that girl longer than herself. She is probably more difficult to let go of her feelings for her.
"I didn't expect that she would encounter so many things during her trip to the Valley."
"When I first rescued her, I thought that she would have an unusual identity, but I never expected that this girl would be related to the Mingyue Sect in southern Xinjiang." He Wu looked up and looked at only the branches and leaves. The crabapple tree seemed to see through it the little girl who liked to act coquettishly at her. She still remembered that after she entered the valley, her favorite was this crabapple tree. But she didn't know that when she was asked to leave the valley, He hoped to relieve her heartache, but he didn't expect that there would be no return date: "If I knew that we would never see each other again, I should have said goodbye to her properly."
Unexpectedly, a glimmer of light flashed through his eyes.
"Jiuxia and Qingyang seem to have decided to stay in southern Xinjiang." Hongzhuang said with some worry, "But their behavior may make Jianghe worry more about them."
"Let them go." Miwu turned around and looked at Hongzhuang. Suddenly he stepped forward and held her gently in his arms. "The two of them grew up with that girl since they were young. The relationship between them is very special." Ordinary. Qingyang's martial arts is pretty good, so he should be able to protect himself and Jiuxia well. "
Hong Zhuang, who was held in her arms, was really startled by her at first. Then she laughed a little and put her arm around her: "Valley Master, you seem to have become a lot sadder since you came back."
"Yes," Mi Wu leaned on Hongzhuang's shoulder and smiled lightly, trying to hide the flash of sadness in his eyes, "That stinky girl must have learned all the style I had back then."
A gust of wind blew by, and the platycodon flowers planted along the tree swayed one after another. It seemed that they also felt that the owner who had been with them for many years was leaving, and couldn't help but express their sadness.
***
The sun shone brightly above the heads, causing many people to squint their eyes.
The sky is bright, birds are chirping, and the fragrance of flowers spreads to every corner along the wind.
The street is very lively, people coming and going squeeze each other's pockets, and occasionally some people quarrel with each other because of the crowd.
It’s market day in Jialan City again.
Jiuxia and Qingyang, who had changed into local clothes, were enthusiastically selling at a stall. There were also various herbal medicines and various ointments and beauty products developed by Jiuxia herself on the stall. In the stalls adjacent to them, there were people selling silver jewelry and jade carvings, all of which were dazzling.
Because the beauty and nourishing cream developed by Jiuxia is most popular among young women, their stall is always busy.
After a burst of lively crowds receded, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the chairs. But Jiuxia still had her eyes wide open, as if she had been looking for something.
Seeing how nervous she was, Qingyang couldn't help but poke her arm: "Jiu Xia, don't be so nervous, otherwise people will always think we have done something bad."
Jiuxia only dealt with Qingyang perfunctorily, but her eyes did not relax at all: "Can I not be nervous? It took a whole year for Mingyue Sect to hold a blessing meeting for the people again, and the two of us are also here Stayed for a year. This time may be our only chance to meet the girl."
There were young men wearing masks, girls wearing magnolia flowers on their hair, young women carrying bamboo baskets, and children learning to talk passing by.
Suddenly, the crowd began to become noisy, and someone's shouts rushed through the crowd, wave after wave: "Everyone, go to the square, the time is coming, the leader and the priest are coming soon. "
Everyone began to rush towards the center of the square.
Jiuxia grabbed Qingyang's hand nervously, but Qingyang didn't hesitate at all. Instead, he held her hand and pulled her up: "There are many people, follow me closely and let's go."
The crowd was crowded. Qingyang held Jiuxia's hand tightly and pushed hard to the center of the square.
The Mingyue cultists, who were wearing white cotton robes to hide their faces, surrounded the center of the square in circles, isolating the crowd from the outside and leaving an open space in the middle.
It was as if the fragrance of flowers was carried by the wind.
A melodious yueqin sound came from nowhere and began to hover over the square.
What is falling down?
One piece, two pieces—
The blue-purple petals were narrow and long, and they fell on the heads of the people one after another.
Everyone raised their heads and went to pick up the petals excitedly.
At some point, a man wearing a silver-white robe appeared on the bamboo platform in the square, with a gorgeous gentian flower painted on his forehead. Under the bright sunshine, no one seemed to notice that it seemed to be emitting a faint golden light. .
Qing Ling smiled slightly and said: "The leader of our sect passed away due to illness a few days ago. The Mingyue Sect hosted the funeral for the sect and could no longer pray for everyone. Our sect has been feeling uneasy. Now that the new leader of our sect has succeeded, the Mingyue Sect will continue to do so wholeheartedly. Prayers for everyone.”
Although the voice was light, it seemed to have a magical power that reached everyone's ears.
The people surrounding the square raised their arms and shouted: "Mingyue Sect, Mingyue Sect."
At this time, the priest in white took a step to the side calmly, and many people discovered that there was another person behind him.
A thin but tall figure, wearing a peacock gold robe, with long black hair hanging down his shoulders, like a clear spirit, he also used a bright and blooming gentian flower to hold it up Part of the hair behind.
The new leader of Mingyue Sect turned out to be such a good-looking man.
Many young girls were dumbfounded.
But Qingyang and Jiuxia, who were standing in the center of the crowd, turned pale.
It's not her, the leader of the church is not her, so where did she go?
During the entire prayer meeting, the people of Jialan City were in a state of extreme excitement, but the two girls in the crowd were always in a state of despair.
Until the end of the prayer meeting, the two of them still looked blank and walked back to their small stalls in a daze.
"Jiu Xia, the girl is not the new leader, how could this happen?"
"I don't know either." Jiuxia shook her head at a loss. She had always been more delicate in her thoughts, so Qingyang had always been very dependent on her, but now, she really didn't know what to do.
The original intention to stay in southern Yunnan was just to hope to see the girl again, and the words Ranchen brought back were their hope all along. If she really becomes the new leader of Mingyue Sect, then she will definitely go down the mountain, and then they will have a chance to meet again. It is by relying on this belief that the two of them can stay here with peace of mind. But now that hope was shattered, she really didn't know what to do.
"Excuse me, girl, what is the effect of your beauty cream?"
While Jiuxia and Qingyang were sighing at each other, a woman inadvertently approached their stall.
Although she was wearing a skirt unique to women in southern Yunnan, she was wearing a thick cloak, and the brim of the cloak was used to cover her entire face, so that Jiu Xia could not see her true face.
The woman seemed to have lowered her voice when she spoke. Although Jiuxia felt a little strange, she still stood up and wanted to introduce her seriously.
After hearing her introduction, the mysterious woman seemed to smile and said, "The girl doesn't seem to be from here. Are you from there?"
Jiuxia was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, my sister and I came here from the Central Plains. We liked the customs and customs here, so we stayed here. If you mind that I am a foreigner, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it. "
"Girl is living in a foreign land, but for whom?" The mysterious woman did not mention buying anything again, but continued to ask a meaningless question.
Qingyang, who was having a bad temper at the side, immediately got up and said, "It's none of your business. Do you want to buy something or not?"
Jiuxia was so frightened that she quickly took Qingyang's hand and tried to hold her down: "What are you doing? Do you still want to eat meat? If you can't sell anything, how can I buy you food?"
A burst of laughter came from the brim of the hat, and the mysterious woman seemed to be a little happy: "We haven't seen you for a year, and you still haven't calmed down your bad temper at all."
"you……."
Qingyang and Jiuxia were so shocked that they seemed to lose time and froze in place.
The mysterious woman reached out and lifted the brim of her hat.
Bright eyes and white teeth, under the sun, that face, although still a little pale, looked so beautiful and familiar.
Tears immediately filled Jiuxia and Qingyang's eyes.
"Long time no see." Gu Jianghe laughed, "Why, it's been so long, won't you give me a hug?"
