Embers

"The Story of Embers" fanfare: Jiang Chengzi

Text/Danggui Erqian

Things have changed in the world recently, Xia Xian Sect, as the most important sect in the world, rarely has a lot of leisure, and even the masters and masters have relaxed a little bit in their training.

There is only one Ye Bozhou named Ember Tuer who is more relaxed.

During the morning meeting, Lu Yuzhi explained to him a matter, and it was not always true, but he was asked to find a person in Biancheng in the north, and hand over a letter that Lu Yuzhi took out to that person in person. He said that he got help from that person in the early years, and as a thank you, he agreed to help him find such a handbook "Baicao Yanji" that recorded the medicinal properties of rare herbs.

This kind of thing can be done by any disciple of the Xiaxian Sect, but it is just to take this opportunity to let him take the embers of not having traveled far for a long time, and blend in more with the rivers and lakes at the foot of the mountain.At least teach others that there are people outside the world, and that they should know not to belittle themselves, and have some understanding of what posture they should put on when they go out.

Ye Bozhou was naturally happy, thinking that Jin'er was only seven or eight years old when he came here, and now he is 17 years old.For ten years, he has only known Xiaxianmen as a "small" place, so it is indeed time to lead him out for a walk to broaden his horizons.

"Biancheng?"

Ember turned to look at Master with a beautiful sword flower, not looking forward to it like an ordinary boy, but with a calm depth, "Now that my apprentice has not yet reached the consummate level, I rushed out of the mountain..."

"Naturally, I have a teacher to accompany me."

Ye Bozhou looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

Ember was stunned to the side, not knowing what was on her mind, she opened her mouth slightly but swallowed the words, and just dropped a sentence when she turned her head to continue practicing the sword, if it wasn't for Ye Bozhou's profound internal skills and paying special attention to his reaction, he might have Miss this simple word.

"Okay." Ember said.

They set off on the third day. They wanted to say hello to Zheng Yijun, but Ember helped the master deal with the affairs of Xiaxianmen that belonged to him. By the way, they took advantage of these two days to hand over to Su Jiujiu, a temporary worker, because he couldn't get out.And Zheng Yijun has really grown up since he got married to Tan Suyu from Shi Tiangong, but he is already a husband at the same age, and he loves Tan Suyu, so he can't spare time to come here to interrupt him.

So Zheng Yijun didn't know about it until half a month after they left.He was so angry that he almost smashed Ember's hut to vent his anger.But it was stopped by Li Mei, and Zheng Yijun, who was pretending to be, got excited instead, and the two even fought, causing a lot of trouble at the lower string door.This is another story.

"It is estimated that Zheng Yijun will know about it, and he will jump in anger."

On the second day of the trip, Ember talked to her master at a table in a tea shop.

"I really don't have time." Having said that, Ye Bozhou couldn't help laughing at Ember, met Ember's confused eyes, and then said, "Jin'er will also consider others now. As a teacher very happy."

"Could it be that Master has neglected himself..." Yu Jin took a sip of tea.

It's not very sweet, and it's not really a love story, but it's enough to make Ye Bozhou feel sweet, after all, he is no longer that little beggar who regards life as cheap, he can hold other people's hearts, and he will take care of himself for others.Thinking of this, he felt a little worry on his brow.

"Master is not feeling well?"

Look, the mind is delicate and sensitive.

"No, I just feel a little strange." I wanted to change the subject casually, but my attention was really attracted at this moment, "The tea in this tea shop seems to be of the highest quality, but it is no better than the tea served in my Xiaxianmen Presbyterian Garden. Difference."

Ember frowned, but was interested, "What does Master mean?"

Ye Bozhou shook his head, "It's only a day's journey away from my Xiaxian Gate, and the owner of this tea shop is nothing special. I really can't see the clue...but..."

"But it's also the strangest place." Ember finished drinking the tea, "Probably the tea shop was specially set up to wait for someone with a high status." He pointed to the wooden beams supporting the tea shed and the covered roof , "Although it is artificially made old, it is not difficult to see that the wood is new and the grass is dry, and it has not been long since I thought about it." He filled up the tea for the two of them again, "We are just catching up, so why not drink more. "

But Ye Bozhou was stunned, "Jin'er, you're really talkative today." Not only is he talkative, didn't he always know that Jin'er is already smart.Sure enough, it was right to take him out for a walk.

"Just chatting with Master." Ember swallowed the tea in her mouth and stopped talking.

Ye Bozhou also stopped talking.

After resting for a quarter of an hour, they felt that it was enough. The two picked up their packages and planned to continue on their way, but they saw a group of people approaching from the mountain road in the distance. The person who was waiting arrived, and sure enough, when he turned around, he saw a young girl in the tea shop where there were only two people. Although she was wearing coarse linen, this pretty face was outstanding.

Ye Bozhou suddenly realized, he let out a low laugh, and was dragged away by Ember.

"Jin'er isn't curious? This set up stage..."

"Not curious."

Ye Bozhou didn't talk about it anymore.

The journey to Biancheng, if they don't stop, travel day and night, they can get there in less than half a month.However, since Lu Yuzhi didn't ask them for time, they stopped and stopped along the way, and they also had a good time visiting the cities they passed, so it might take a lot of time.

"From Liangzhou to Biancheng in a few days." Ye Bozhou sat at the table, "There are fertile fields at the foot of the mountain, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find an inn."

"It's nothing, didn't you come here the same way a few days ago?" Yu Jin slowly poured tea for Master, and sat down to fill a cup himself.

"Well, it's just that I feel sorry for Jin'er's discomfort at night."

The teacup that Ember brought the tea to his mouth shook slightly, glanced at the master, lowered his eyes and drank the tea.

"When I went to call for lunch just now, I heard from Xiao Er that there will be a Lantern Festival in Liangzhou City tonight." Yu Jin put down his glass and said, "What do you think, Master?"

"We're leaving tomorrow, let's take this opportunity to join in the fun tonight." The flash of hope in Yu Jin's eyes can't escape Ye Bozhou's eyes, and it's rare for the cold-tempered Jin'er to be interested in such things, " But how can there be a lantern festival on this non-holiday day?"

"It seems that because of a legend, people in Liangzhou have passed it down orally from generation to generation, and this custom has gradually been built up." The appearance of Yu Jin talking about it is really not like usual.

"Jin'er, are you interested in these?" Ye Bozhou also blurted out, "What legend?"

"..."

At first I didn’t want to answer Master’s teasing words, but I still talked with someone, “It’s probably about two scholars who are friends of gentlemen. The two agreed to go to the same high school in the future. One of them took second place in the next year's high school, but the other failed." Ember's voice was flat, not like she was telling a legend, but Ye Bozhou listened with gusto, and Ember's voice was very nice, clean and cool The male voice has become more composed with age, and because of the ember's temperament, the aura in the early discourse always has a certain oppression, making people unfamiliar.

now.

"People in high school really keep their promises. They handed over a worn-out writing brush to a friend, which is not worth five cents. When high school comes with a portable pen in the future, they will definitely keep their promises and help." The tone was still cold and clear. , but there is a sense of intimacy that is not unfamiliar.

"And then."

"On the day of high school, he sent the pen trustee to the man's mansion, and after a short while, he came out in a hurry. When old friends met, he ignored the courtesy of a gentleman, and only wanted to be close to relieve the distress that was hard to find. Together. On the second day, the two of them swam to the moat to reminisce about the old days, and suddenly came up with the idea of ​​lighting up lights to show...the intention of keeping promises and not daring to forget each other." After Ember finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Master, "No gone."

"So, I'm afraid many people will go."

"Well. Is the master still going?"

"Naturally, the story is a good story, but it can be auspicious."

Ember nodded.Although it was passed down by word of mouth to be a gentleman's friend, trustworthy and faithful, and the beautiful qualities that are hard to catch up with four horses, as time goes by, it is no longer what it is like.What Ember didn't say was the many versions later, presumably, after the master went, he would understand.

It was night, but it was time for dinner. Ye Bozhou, who wanted to eat at the inn before going, couldn't turn around, so Ember followed him.

"With such a lantern festival, there will be food."

Even though he said so, Ye Bozhou didn't hold out hope. Thinking about it, how could he, a disciple who has lived in Xiaxianmen for a long time, know that although the world is peaceful and the people are peaceful, only those with rich family backgrounds like restaurants can sell food for sale? Why do ordinary people appear in a street market like the Lantern Festival? I'm afraid they will inevitably starve.

Now that the afterglow is coming to an end, some vendors have already set up small stalls, prepared lanterns and lanterns, and hung up crossword puzzles, which is not lost to the lantern riddles at the Lantern Festival.

What's more, Ye Bozhou also saw the food that Ember mentioned, and there was even a face he knew a little bit, who was the clerk of the hotel where they were staying.Immediately understood what Ember meant.

"If I can finish the rest of my life in such a place, I really have no regrets." Ye Bozhou said with emotion.The hand holding him tightened suddenly.

"Then how about doing what master wants?" After he avenged him, he must bring master here to spend his old age in peace.

"According to what Jin'er said." With a smile, Yu Jin suddenly seemed to be in the state of mind of those two gentlemen, who disregarded the worldly etiquette, and ruthlessly looked at this man with picturesque eyebrows and bowed to make fun of Pulled into the crook of the arm, deeply clasped in the bosom.

"Jin'er..." Ye Bozhou opened his eyes slightly, although there are not many people coming and going, but this is the street after all, so... Fortunately, Yu Jin only hugged him for a moment, and others seemed to be just whispering.Ye Bozhou couldn't calm down for a long time, and the force of this moment almost made him feel pain.

"Master." Ember's fingertips hidden in her sleeves trembled slightly. She never trembled when she held the sword to kill the robbers in the green forest. With the restraint at this moment, there is no pretentious determination, "There is food ahead."

Xiaokou Chaifei, the garden is full of spring, and Junge.

There is little smoke in the hut, flowers and fruits are blooming in the courtyard, facing people day and night.It was what Ember wanted, and what he wanted to give to Master.No secular, no trouble, safe and content.

After guessing the lantern riddles and winning the lottery, the same group of people of different ages released river lanterns, and then returned to the inn full of enthusiasm.

Thinking about going on the road, but few things go with the flow, going out is no better than Xiaxianmen, the hidden restraint makes the embers more intense, it is just the warmth of the fragrance and the warmth of the tent, the clouds and rain on Wushan, but it makes the heart feel uneasy.

"Master, is the head uncle really talking about Biancheng?" It only took a month to arrive at the location, if it wasn't for the long delay in Liangzhou, maybe it could have been earlier.As for the reason for the delay, it is self-evident.

"That's natural. The man's name is Mo Liuxu, and he is an old gentleman who is a skilled doctor." Ye Bozhou wandered around the city leisurely, "If you can't find out in the city, or he has already gone elsewhere. , or hide his name, the worst is that he has already passed away." Shaking his head in distress, "I still think it's just an errand, and the brother in charge is waiting for me here."

Ember couldn't help but frowned, and although she didn't smile, she softened her face a lot, "That was a worthwhile trip."

Ye Bozhou nodded, he knew this truth.

"Then let's start to inquire from the doctor. I heard from the brother in charge that he is a person with a weird temper."

"En." The embers of Deling'er began to intensify the questioning, from the pharmacy clerk to the doctor in the medical clinic, from the market pedestrians to the thieves in the alley, from the rich and the wealthy to the poor and poor, it took almost three days Finally, the hard work paid off, and they finally found out about such an old doctor with white hair and youthful face.It is said that he has lived in Bianzhou Mountain outside the city for a long time, and he comes to the city to perform medical treatment on the fifteenth day of every month. But never for nothing.Known as the ink beard fairy.

Ye Bozhou became interested, "This is interesting."

"Hmm." Ember glanced at Master, "I don't know if it's Mo Liuxu."

"Whether it's true or not, it's always worth seeing." Ye Bozhou couldn't stop laughing lowly, as long as he didn't run away.

Under the guidance of a thief, they gave the child five taels of silver after roughly knowing the direction.After the thief was overjoyed, he thanked the elder repeatedly, and went back to the city alone.

The south of Bianzhou Mountain is adjacent to Jiuru Mountain, which can be regarded as one of the peaks stretching for hundreds of miles.After walking along the mountain road for about an hour, I saw a farmer's hut beside the mountain road halfway up the mountain. Firewood was piled high in the yard, and a young man was gritting his teeth to draw water from the well.

As soon as they approached, the boy glanced over.His appearance is outstanding, his temperament is excellent, this figure, I am afraid that he has been practicing martial arts for a long time, he looks like he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he does not intend to talk to the two of them, he puts the bucket by the well, then turns his head, "Damn old man ! Someone is looking for it!"

The two were really shocked.

"You brat! If you dare to talk to me like that, I'll throw it back to you tomorrow!" A white-haired young man rushed out of the room angrily. He looked only 40 years old and had a childlike face. The appearance is also very good.

It really is an expert in the world.

After Mo Xu finished scolding and dealt with the young man, he had no time to talk to these two people, "What are you doing?"

"Dare to ask, but Mo Liuxu, Mr. Mo?" Ye Bozhou asked without daring to be rude.

Mo Xu raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "What Mo Liu Xu, I don't know. I found the wrong place." His tone was very bad.

"We don't have any malicious intentions. It's just that the senior brother entrusted me to hand over this "Hundred Herbs Anthology" to Mr. Mo in order to repay the kindness owed that day." Ye Bozhou sighed, and gave the flash to Mo Xu After glancing at the letter, he put it back in his sleeve, "If I'm not here, I'm afraid it will take some time for this junior to complete the entrustment. I'm bothering you sir." After saying that, he was about to leave with a sad face.

"Wait." Mo Xu looked impatient, "Don't give me a flower gun, talk about him left and right, I don't like this." He reached out his hand to the two, "Take it out."

Ember glanced lightly at Mo Xu, the latter frowned, and in an instant he dodged to his side, locked his veins, and frowned.

The two who were too late to react were sweating from shock, and even Ye Bozhou, a master like Ye Bozhou, had no time to react. , The meaning of ridicule spread in the eyebrows and eyes.

"Wrong flower?" He flicked his sleeves and walked into the small courtyard, "It's been so many years since I've seen it, I'm really surprised. You brat..." Before Mo Xu entered the room, he slapped the horoscope on the two of them slowly. On the forehead.

"If you are not skilled, you will kill yourself."

The two were stunned for a long time, and then another young man came out of the house, smiling slightly, "Master, please talk inside."

From time to time, it was dinner time, and after the two had eaten, they saw the white-haired and handsome man sitting across from each other with his teeth picked, flipping through "The Anthology of Baicao", a bamboo stick was still bitten between his teeth, "Look!" You are not a demon sect, what is the purpose of practicing this Lao Shizi's wrong flower?"

Go straight to the point, without dragging your feet.

"It's none of your business." Ember felt her nerves twitching.

"Oh." Mo Xu spat out the stick with a sneer, "Self-study without a teacher is extremely dangerous. If it weren't for your good background, you are still smart, I'm afraid you wouldn't make it this far." He got up and carefully threw the letter aside. In a pile of messy books, "There is a great achievement in skill, but there is no need for quick success and instant benefit. There are castles in the air, and the foundation is insufficient."

"...Senior, do you have a solution?" Ye Bozhou didn't dare to neglect this man since he revealed that move.

"Little old man, I'm not a saint. How can I know anything? It's just a few advices." Mo Xu poured two cups of water from the teapot, and then poured his own cup until it was full. Close your hands, "There is no profit or loss, and there is no change. The way of the world is to have a profit and a loss. If the loss is extreme, it will flourish, and if it is full... it will end. It is definitely not a good strategy to rush for quick success." The teapot in his hand suddenly clanged and was thrown Throwing it on the table, "Okay, that's all for the little old man, so let's do it for ourselves."

When the two were about to leave, the older boy chased after him and handed a porcelain bottle to the two, "My master said, this medicine can help you calm your mind and calm your mind, and it also has the effect of nourishing your meridians. The master also said, after all, he is a rare talent, so don't let this good foundation be wronged."

Ye Bozhou really admires this old man Moxu, wrong flower is a magic skill, but this Moxu doesn't care about this, but he just thinks it's a pity. Jin'er's talent, he said he was a martial idiot, but he never saw the right Wrong yearning, saying that he cherishes talents, but he doesn't see how much he cares about Jin'er, just a few words to wake up, really, follow one's heart and mind, and be at ease.

Although he didn't know if Jin'er could listen to him, Ye Bozhou knew that Yu Jin's persistence was something that would never stop until death.

Sighing silently, he pretended to be light-hearted.

"In this way, it can be regarded as fulfilling the entrustment, and also got the good medicine to help. It really is a worthwhile trip."

"Master." Yu Jin spoke, but she didn't know if it was because of the long silence, she was a little hoarse, "Master, what do I think?"

Ye Bozhou was a little stunned for a while, since he was a child, Yu Jin has his own opinions on everything except listening to his words and practicing martial arts, and he is never lost. He has a persistent goal.It seemed to be the first time, asking Master in such a tone of bewilderment and begging for help.

Ye Bozhou raised his hand and looked at him through the moonlight, "I know what you think in your heart. It's just a blank worry about me, but it's not enough to shake you. I know it all. So, no matter what Jin'er wants to do , as a teacher, I will do my best to help you." What's more, there is no way out.

"Master." Ember's heart was touched, and she kissed someone in the night.

Jiangchengzi·Shanwaiju

Thousands of layers of wood in the deep mountains, geese settle down and build new houses.

On the courtyard bridge outside the courtyard, I began to pace lightly.

Lianfeng and Shuiche met each other's eyes, making people jealous, recalling the past.
