[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

, I was afraid that I would freeze into an iceman in the snow, so the expression on my face softened a lot, and I said awkwardly, "No matter what, thank you for sending me back to Qionghua, I will take care of your spying nearby. Let’s keep it secret for the time being, it’s just that the monsters have different ways, you... you’d better hide in the deep mountains and don’t wander around the cultivation sects!”

Xuan Zhen couldn't help but said: "Yes, yes. Please follow the teachings of the little expert, and then there will be a period later." Saying this, he cupped his hands, stepped on the flying sword and floated away.

Only Murong Ziying was left standing outside the mountain gate, looking up at the blue light passing across the sky, thinking inwardly: I have to ask Master when I go back, why the snow demon can also control the sword, that sword is very beautiful ...

Three, Yuntianhe

On the Qingluan Peak of Huangshan Mountain, the stream rushes down, stirring up a white mist on the edge of the cliff.In the white mist, on a huge rock, a small figure was waving a small wooden knife in his hand to splash sweat.

"Drink!—drink!—drink!"

After swiping the sword for countless times, the boy finally lowered the wooden knife, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the other hand, and shouted joyfully, "Father, the three hundred sword swings you told me to do every day, I'm done practicing!"

However, there was no answer on Qingluan Peak except the echo.The boy didn't care at all, put down the wooden knife and sat down on the floor, raised his head to look at the sea of ​​clouds and rime in front of him, and murmured after a while: "Father always said that the scenery here is beautiful, and the beauty is not harvestable (the Tianhe version of the beauty). Look, the wild boar on the mountain is the best, um, it's delicious!"

Speaking of wild boars, his stomach could not help but growl. The boy hurriedly got up from the ground, picked up the wooden knife in his hand, and said to himself: "Every time I finish sword practice, my stomach is so hungry. This time I will grab another one." The wild boar is roasted and eaten, um, leave a hind leg for dad..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a blue light passing by the sky, the boy was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened and he followed the light until it drew a A beautiful arc, falling into the clouds and smoke to the north.

The boy stared at it for a long time, opened his mouth wide for a long time before remembering to close it, and thought for a long time before suddenly jumping up, shouting: "Father, father, my son saw the meteor you mentioned!" He ran down the rock, jumped over the stone bridge, and ran all the way into the wooden house under the three ancient trees on the peak.

The wooden house is not very big, there are only two rooms inside and outside, the outside room is nothing but tables, chairs and a burning stove, and the inside room only has a bed and a table.Lying on the bed was a man with delicate features but a sickly face, clearly wrapped in several thick layers of animal skins, but shivering slightly from the cold.

Hearing the boy running in, the man frowned slightly, and said calmly: "Tianhe, I told you to swing the sword three hundred times, but have you finished your practice?"

The man's voice was not high, but when it fell into the boy's ears, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, and said honestly: "Practice, practice is over."

The man nodded and said again: "I don't know why, it seems to be extraordinarily cold this year, I'm afraid Dad won't be able to survive this winter... You kid, you can play well by yourself in the future."

The boy named Tianhe suddenly said with a bitter face: "Father, I don't want to be alone..."

The man snorted and said, "I think you're having a good time jumping up and down by yourself! I'm afraid that once Dad goes with your mother, you'll become a hozen spirit in the mountains, and you won't be able to think of me anymore." After a while He sighed again, "Oh, Suyu, you have been gone for so many years, you really made me miss you, and I don't know if you have been reincarnated now... Shichenxi Cave is a good place to be buried together, and I don't know the trace of natural cold in the cave... Where did it come from, it is cheaper for us..."

Seeing his father lost in thought again, Tianhe didn't dare to disturb his father even though he had a lot to say, he just stood in front of the bed blankly, until the man turned his head again, then boldly lay down on the bedside and said: "Father, my son saw you today. The meteor you mentioned is a cyan light falling, falling to the north!"

The man rolled his eyes at him and said: "Nonsense! How can there be meteors in the daytime? I think you are hungry and dizzy?"

Tian He was startled, touched his stomach and said in a daze, "How do you know, dad? Baby, baby is really hungry..."

The man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and slapped his stupid son hard on the head: "Then don't cook, your father and I are hungry too!"

"Oh!" Tianhe nodded hurriedly, grabbed the wooden bow on the wall and ran outside.

In the room, the man looked at his back, his smile gradually narrowed, and his face turned into a look of worry: "Suyu, although this child Tianhe resembles me in birth, I don't know who his temperament is like... I don't know who to leave him here. Is it right or wrong to be alone in the world..."

However, the woman who had died long ago was unable to answer. After a while, there was only a very faint sigh in the room.

[-]. Liu Mengli

In the county magistrate's mansion of Shouyang City, today is my wife's birthday, so it is very lively.People of high profile in the city had already gathered in the hall, and the halls and corridors, inside and outside the courtyard, were decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere, and there was a lot of joy.

Only a small courtyard in the southeast corner was quiet.

"Miss, the master invites you to go to the front." In the embroidery room, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid said to another person in the room with a smile on her face, "Today is really lively, and the master invited a few tricksters, it was fun! "

The girl sitting by the bed just shook her head lightly: "Lu Cui, tell Dad that I feel unwell, so I won't go there."

Lu Cui's smile faltered, and she said cautiously: "Miss, what's wrong, do you want me to invite the doctor?"

The girl shook her head again: "No need, you go to the front to watch the fun, I just want to be quiet in the room."

Lu Cui had no choice but to obey, and walked out after being blessed.

When the maid gently closed the door, Liu Mengli breathed a sigh of relief.She always likes to be quiet, today there are so many people gathered in the mansion, the turbid smell can't help wafting from the front yard, she can't bear it already, how can she bear to go into the crowd again?

Fortunately, her parents have always spoiled her as an only daughter, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't go to Cheng Huan's knees.Thinking like this, Liu Mengli stood up, said so, mother still needs to prepare some gifts for her birthday, the spices made by hand last time seem to be quite liked by mother, why not make some more this time.

Because she likes to take care of flowers and plants most of the time, magistrate Liu spent a lot of money to buy exotic flowers from all over the place to present to his precious daughter. After a long time, this yard is decorated like a garden. The most amazing thing is, Those flowers and plants seem to like this county magistrate's daughter very much, not only grow very well, but also bloom unbeaten.Therefore, although it is winter, there are also some evergreen colors dotted among the branches and grass, especially the flower forest in the courtyard, and the few plum trees are particularly eye-catching.

But before she got close, Liu Mengli stopped, she frowned slightly, stared at the grove, and said after a while, "Who are you?"

The forest was silent.

"I know you are there, I can feel it." Liu Mengli said lightly, this is her innate ability, as if she was born to be particularly sensitive to the breath of living things, but she can also detect the person hiding behind the tree No malice.

"What... what's the matter? Or who do you want to find?" She asked softly again, "Are you my parents' friend?"

Still no answer.

Liu Mengli stood there, didn't step forward, but didn't retreat either.After a while, he sighed softly, and the man left.

She went forward and walked around the plum trees, but there was no one behind the trees, only a few bunches of white things fell on the ground.She squatted down, lightly picked up a little bit and put it in her palm, the thing melted into a pool of transparency in an instant.

"……Snow?"

Liu Mengli was surprised, and then saw another thing beside the tree root, a small jade bottle standing upright on the ground, as if waiting to be discovered by a beautiful woman, she picked up the jade bottle, gently pulled out the cork, All of a sudden, a refreshing aroma came to the nostrils.

This... Could it be a gift from that person to someone in the mansion, and I can't ask myself to hand it over?She immediately remembered that today was her mother's birthday, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.

At night, as the guests gradually dispersed, Mrs. Liu came to her daughter's courtyard.

"Li'er, mother heard that you felt unwell during the day, but now you feel better?" Mrs. Liu waved away a few maidservants, sat on the side of the bed with a smile, looked at Liu Mengli and said.

Liu Mengli was leaning on the bed and lost in thought, when she saw her mother coming in, she hurriedly got up and said: "My daughter is going to see mother, but please trouble mother to come here in person."

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "You are mother's daughter, don't you take it for granted?"

"Then thank you mother, today is your birthday, and my daughter has prepared some small gifts." Liu Mengli smiled slightly, turned around and picked up two small jade bottles from the table and handed them to Mrs. Liu, "Wang Niang accepted it with a smile. "

Mrs. Liu gave her a doting look, and pulled out one of the bottle stoppers: "But it's the incense you gave to your mother last time. Li'er is really handy." His expression changed slightly, "This...is this Li Xiangcao?"

"Li Xiangcao?" Liu Mengli was taken aback, it turned out that the incense that the stranger gave was actually made from Nu Luoyan's Li Xiangcao, what on earth was he...

"That's right, Luoyan, the girl who grew up outside the city of Li Xiangcao... I heard about it when I was very young. At that time, he often carried this fragrance on me..." Mrs. Liu looked at the jade in her hand. Ping murmured, with a hint of sadness and reminiscence on her beautiful face, "Oh, that's all in the past..."

Seeing that her mother had fallen into deep thought, Liu Mengli didn't say anything, just looked at the little jade bottle, and sighed softly.

What kind of thoughts did that person have in order to send such a gift?

"The little girl still remembers what I said?"

On the bank of the Nai River, after hearing what the man in red said, the ferryman was both happy and sad: "It's hard for you, I went to Kunlun Mountain to bring her back a jar of snow, and even cast a spell to keep the snow from melting in the altar." ...Thank you."

The man in red smiled slightly, waved his hands and said: "I also like this little girl Han Lingsha, but it's just to make her smile, it's nothing."

The ferryman nodded: "Although there is a difference between life and death, I, Han Beikuang, still have you as my friend. It's getting late, and I have to go back to the ghost world. Let's meet again in the future."

The man in red nodded slightly, watching him swing the green bamboo boat and slowly sail into the turbid yellow mist.

The bright red river gently rips up waves, caressing the river bank gently, the vast mist rolls up and relaxes, gradually submerging the river, on the bank, there are two lonely figures.
