Duan Nuxia who has the throne [Comprehensive martial arts]

The voice was accompanied by the sound of rushing water, which made Hua Manlou immediately understand what was going on.

"So, that's how the legend came about." Hua Manlou couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, "These people, can't they all be Dali's guards?"

"The guards of the palace," Duan Yu nodded, "However, there is a reason why I did this—"

Generally speaking, the river lantern is put at the end, either because the paper underneath is soaked in water and it sinks directly to the bottom of the water, or because the wax burns out, it continues to float on the water until it rots and sinks into the water.

Although the Erhai Lake is very large, the paper can barely decompose, but the wax will not decompose in the water. Over time, it will accumulate more and more, which will also affect the water quality. Moreover, the wax that sinks to the bottom covers the rocks and cannot grow algae. , the fish will also die for lack of food.

"In short, it is very unfavorable," Duan Yu said, "However, I have someone salvage it, which is different. Not only can it be remade into candles to avoid waste, but it can also prevent the Erhai Lake from being polluted and maintain clean water quality. , fish and shrimp can grow, and, although it is a legend, the lighting of the lamp is originally intended to bring comfort to the living, so it makes everyone think it is true, isn't it also very good? At the same time, because of this legend , added a lot of people to Dali for tourism, and promoted Dali's economic consumption, killing four birds with one stone—”

"By the way, there is one more thing. After all, tonight is a day of joy for the whole city. Guards and sergeants who are willing to participate in the salvage of river lanterns today can get an extra salary and increase their income. It is a good way to kill five birds with one stone!"

"I didn't expect such a small move to have a profound meaning behind it, Yu'er, you are really smart." Hua Manlou laughed.

"Right." Duan Yu was proud.

"Duan Yu?" At this moment, a black figure emerged from the bushes, showing white teeth in a smile, "I thought it was you when I heard it just now, but I didn't expect it to be!"

"...Guo Jing." Duan Yu felt bad when he saw him, thinking of the dark history of self-love, he was a little stupid, "You led the team here."

"That's right," Guo Jing said, "Also, I'm going to find Miss Yang Kang this year."

"Ah."

"My mother said, I have to tell you." Guo Jing paused and said, "You better find the commander of the palace guard in advance."

Just go, what are you panting for?

"Understood," Duan Yu showed a polite smirk, "I wish you all the best."

"Thank you," Guo Jing rubbed the back of his head embarrassingly, "I also wish you the best of luck in finding someone to marry."

Duan Yu paused.

...Please let me take back my blessing, thank you.

If it wasn't for Huamanlou, Duan Yu would definitely let Guo Jing know that she also has the potential to be a tyrant.

"You'd better go get busy." Duan Yu smiled kindly, and finally sent Guo Jing away.

"Yu'er, was that your friend just now?"

"It's the younger brother." Duan Yu corrected.

A childhood sweetheart like Guo Jing is too demeaning for her.

Hua Manlou couldn't help laughing, "You guys knew each other since childhood?"

"Hmm..." Duan Yu thought for a while, and he was lenient when he confessed, and strict when he resisted. With Hua Manlou's intelligence, he would hear about it sooner or later, so he still told him about the oolong incident that he almost got engaged to Guo Jing, "I With Guo Jing, no one was interested, and I didn’t say it clearly in the end, it’s just... a little bit of the same thing.”

Duan Yu compared it with two fingers, and said, it's really very slightly.

Hua Manlou squeezed her hand, "Don't be nervous, I'm not angry."

"I'm not nervous. Well, well, a little bit."

Hua Manlou smiled softly, "I can hear that you and that Mr. Guo have no relationship between men and women, but I'm a little regretful that I didn't have the chance to meet you when I was a child."

"When I was young," Duan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and shook his hand, "I was so majestic when I was young, what do you want to know?" She rolled her eyes, "What do you want to know, take your time when you were young exchange things?"

"Of course." Hua Manlou nodded with a smile on his face.

The night breeze is very good, the waves of Erhai Lake are sparkling, and the fragrance of flowers is wafting. The footprints of Huamanlou and Duan Yu have walked a long way along the shore of Erhai Lake.

. . .

Now that Huamanlou is here, Duan Yu naturally doesn't go to the palace to "check in for work".

She performed the duties of a tour guide, taking Huamanlou to eat and play all over Dali City and its surroundings.

After waiting for two days, but his mother didn't take the initiative to invite, Duan Yu swaggered and took Hua Manlou into the palace for a meal, and then took him to Tianlong Temple for a meal.

The attitude of Duan's parents towards Huamanlou is naturally warm, polite and thoughtful, but not too close, and the distance is just right, treating him as Duan Yu's ordinary friend.

Hua Manlou naturally realized it, but he had no other intentions this time. He had the opportunity to meet Duan Yu's elders, and they are all very good people, so that's enough.

There are many plants and animals in Dali that he has never seen or heard before. Camellias are blooming everywhere in the mountains. The people in the mountains are simple, cheerful, enthusiastic and straightforward, which makes him like this place from the bottom of his heart.

Of course he also likes Jiangnan, but what Dali brought to him was a brand new feeling, which made him finally understand why Duan Yu was so different from the girls he had met in the past, and why she loved his country so much. This place is indeed lovely, quiet, and serene, away from all conflicts and wars, and the rivers and lakes are sinister, like a paradise.

When they reached the banks of the Lancang River, it was mid-spring when the ice and snow melted.

Duan Yu walked for more than half a year last year and did not go to Wudang Mountain in Hubei. Moreover, she had never heard of Zhang Wuji during the half year in the Central Plains. This year she decided to go up the mountain no matter what.

Hua Manlou naturally accompanied her.

Walking from west to east, all the way to the spring mountains, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and the spring is in full bloom. When you arrive at Wudang, it is already the time when the flowers are blooming.

Wudang Mountain has beautiful peaks, clear sky, green streams, gurgling streams, pines and cypresses all over the mountains, and saplings hanging on the rock walls, which make people feel refreshed when they come here. .

Duan Yu and Hua Manlou climbed up the stairs, not in a hurry to practice lightness kung fu, and slowly enjoyed the scenery along the way.

During the period, Duan Yu also picked up a fist-sized pine cone on the ground. She didn't know how to peel it herself, so Hua Manlou picked it up, and dexterously peeled the pine nut out in a few strokes. The two shared it and ate it. The taste is not as good as the cooked ones bought in the market, but it has a different taste.

Someone was playing the piano on the mountain, and the sound of the piano was faint and hazy, as if it came from the clouds in the sky.

When they approached the top of the mountain, the source of the sound of the piano appeared at the corner of the mountain road.

Duan Yu looked up.

On the top of the stone steps, clear sky, green pines, distant mountains, white stones, green robes, plain qin,

The mountain wind blows his headband and coat, and the handsome young Taoist in light robes and wide sleeves lowers his eyebrows, clear and clear, just like the cold forest behind him, the lonely mountain, and the fingertips that pluck the strings, seem to be dyed. The emerald green in the mountains is cold.

The sound of clank and zither hit my ears, filled with endless regret.

It is as beautiful as an ink painting scroll.

It is unbearable to disturb.

Duan Yu stopped.

"Yu'er?"

Duan Yu said softly, "The Taoist priest is playing the piano in memory of his old friend."

"Let's not disturb him, let's go another way." Hua Manlou sighed softly, he was always considerate and understanding.

"Well," Duan Yu nodded, she also meant the same.

However, just as they were about to leave, the Taoist playing the piano noticed them and stopped.

He stood up, although his face was cold, but his tone was very calm and polite. First he bowed slightly, and then he said, "The next step is Wudang Temple. Do you want to enter the temple when you go up the mountain?"

But the sound is like the cold spring in the mountain, it is heard and forgotten.

"Exactly," Hua Manlou bowed his hands and saluted, "I wonder if it's convenient?"

"Of course." The Taoist lightly stretched his robe sleeves, "Please follow me, both of you."

"I'm really sorry for disturbing the Taoist master playing the piano." Hua Manlou said warmly.

"Nothing," the Taoist shook his head, "I don't know why you two are here?"

"We're here to find someone," Duan Yu said, "Is there a girl named Zhang Wuji in your Wudang sect?"

The Taoist priest looked shocked, "Do you know Zhang Wuji?"

"My name is Duan Yu, and we were childhood friends with Zhang Wuji," Duan Yu said, "We were supposed to be friends for life, but after she arrived in Central Plains, there was no news of her. It's been almost ten years. Although she doesn't I'm loyal, but I'm very trustworthy, and this time I came here specifically to find her."

As for the fact that I haven't reached Wudang after walking for a year, I don't need to say more.

The Taoist frowned, "You won't be able to find her in Wudang Mountain."

"Did something happen to her?" Duan Yu asked quickly.

"She has been dead for five years." The Taoist said softly.

Duan Yu was taken aback immediately, and took a step back subconsciously, "How could that be? How could she die? How did she die?"

"Yu'er." Hua Manlou quickly grabbed her shoulders to prevent her from falling down the mountain path.

"...Yu..." Taoist said, "Are you really Zhang Wuji's friend?"

"Yes." Duan Yu nodded, "Zhang Wuji mentioned me?"

The Taoist's eyes were like clear springs, Zhan Zhan Lingling glanced at her and nodded, "Since Miss Zhang is an old friend of Miss Zhang, please come and sit in the temple. Maybe Master, Grand Master and the others want to meet you."

"Uncle Zhang Cuishan, and Aunt Yin Susu, aren't they in Wudang?"

The Taoist priest shook his head again, "They also died a long time ago."

After the previous shock, Duan Yu was much calmer this time, he just sighed and followed the Taoist into the meditation.

Besides, Hua Manlou never let go of her hand.

It made Duan Yu feel that at this moment, he was not alone, which is really great.

The Taoist priest invited them to rest in the meditation room, and went in to ask the teacher for instructions.

"I really didn't expect it." Duan Yu said in a low voice.

Hua Manlou held her cold hands and accompanied her silently.

Because Duan Yu mentioned Zhang Wuxia among the Seven Heroes of Wudang today, it reminded him of an old incident ten years ago, but he didn't care much about the affairs of the Jianghu, and he didn't know about this incident.

The Taoist priest left and returned after a while, took them inside together, and walked into the hall for receiving guests.

Duan Yu was taken aback by the situation in the room.

An old Taoist with a three-foot white beard sat in the hall, two middle-aged Taoist priests on the left, and two middle-aged Taoist priests on the right. When she stepped in, the five Taoist priests looked at her in unison.
