step on mountains and rivers

Listening to Wu Rumeng's explanation, Tang Qingfeng fell into deep thought. He looked at Wu Rumeng and said:

"Mother...you owe me nothing, so why should you forgive me?"

"Qingfeng..." Wu Rumeng was speechless for a while listening to Tang Qingfeng's words.

Tang Qingfeng looked at her and continued:

"Mother, I never held grudges against you in the past. You and father have always been my closest relatives."

"Qingfeng." Wu Rumeng stared blankly at Tang Qingfeng, then turned her head slightly.

"Like a dream." Tang Xiaolong wiped the tears off his face for her, and then said softly, "I owe you what happened back then, so why should you take all the responsibility for me?"

"Xiaolong..." Wu Rumeng looked at Tang Xiaolong, speechless.

Tang Xiaolong looked at Tang Qingfeng, and then said:

"Qingfeng, tomorrow I will leave for southern Yunnan with your mother. For so many years, I have been evading my responsibilities, causing your mother to be in a dilemma between the Tang family and Wuxian.

It's time to settle this matter.Your mother chooses to deal with this matter now, also so that you will have less trouble when you take over the Tang Sect in the future. "

"Father." Tang Qingfeng was silent.

Wu Ru dreamed that he was silent, so he said:

"Qingfeng, you don't have to worry about this matter, your father and I will handle the matter well. It's just that we can't spend the New Year with you in Tang Sect."

"It's nothing, mother, don't worry, I will take care of Tangmen's affairs." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Qingfeng, it's Chinese New Year's Eve, Tang Sect doesn't have any affairs to deal with. You are very boring in Tang Sect, how about inviting your friends to Tang Sect to accompany you to celebrate New Year?" Wu Rumeng suggested.

Tang Qingfeng listened to Wu Rumeng's suggestion, thought for a while and said:

"Zhen Wu has returned to Wudang. Jiang Ling and Lu Qing have returned to the Beggars' Clan. They both have important matters, so they cannot come. Mother, I am fine, so you don't have to worry."

"That's it." Wu Ru dreamed for a moment, then said:

"Wudang Daoist Li Chengfeng is your father's old friend, Li Daochang and you are also close friends, maybe Qingfeng can go to Wudang to find him, and it will be convenient for us to act together in the future."

"......" Tang Qingfeng didn't know how to answer Wu Rumeng's words.

"Qingfeng, what your mother said makes sense. Brother Li is gentle and easy-going, and his apprentice Li Zhenwu has a deep friendship with you. If you still have actions in the future, you can go to Wudang." Tang Xiaolong said.

Wu Ru dreamed that Tang Qingfeng didn't answer, so she said softly:

"If Qingfeng doesn't want to be troublesome, he can do whatever he wants, and don't care about what we say."

"Mother, I'm not, I'm just afraid of trouble Zhenwu." Tang Qingfeng said.

Wu Ru dreamed that Tang Qingfeng answered like this, so he smiled and said:

"Qingfeng, Li Daochang is gentle and modest. Although he is not good at words, mother can see that he has deep feelings for you. If you go, he should be very happy."

"Will you?" Tang Qingfeng said softly, as if he was asking Wu Rumeng, but also himself.

"Yes." Wu Rumeng replied with a smile.

"En." Tang Qingfeng nodded, and then said: "Then I will set off with my parents tomorrow."

"Okay." Wu Rumeng said.

"Qingfeng, then your mother and I will go back first, you should rest early, we will set off early tomorrow morning." Tang Xiaolong said.

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng replied.

After Tang Xiaolong finished speaking, he took Wu Rumeng and left.

Tang Qingfeng looked at the backs of the two leaving, and a feeling of warmth rose in his heart.He suddenly wanted to see Li Zhenwu very much, and wanted to share this joy with him.

Tang Qingfeng looked at the full moon in the sky, and Li Zhenwu's figure gradually appeared in the full moon. He looked at Tang Qingfeng and smiled softly: "Brother Tang"

"Zhenwu." Tang Qingfeng stretched out his hand, stroked Yuan Yuezhong's face and said, "Wait for me."

Then he withdrew his hand, turned and walked towards the house.

On the second day, Tang Qingfeng got up early in the morning, prepared his luggage, and was about to go to see Tang Xiaolong and Wu Rumeng, and they also happened to come to him.The three discussed and decided to leave by boat at Taoyuan Ferry together.Tang Qingfeng went north to Wudang, while they went southwest to southern Yunnan.

At Taoyuan Ferry, on the big boat, Tang Qingfeng looked at Tang Xiaolong and Wu Rumeng and said:

"Father, mother, I'm leaving first, take care."

"Well, be more careful about the Four Sacred Palaces," Tang Xiaolong said.

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng turned back and was about to turn around and get off the boat, but Wu Rumeng said:

"Qingfeng, I have something for you."

Tang Qingfeng looked at Wu Rumeng, and saw that she had taken out an exquisite mahogany carved box, in which was a pair of silver and black minimalist silver hairpins.

"Mother, what is this?" Tang Qingfeng asked suspiciously.

Wu Rumeng looked at Tang Qingfeng, and said slowly:

"This hairpin was custom-made when I got married. I wanted to pass it on to my children, but I didn't want to miss it in this life, but it doesn't matter, mother has you.

Qingfeng, the phoenix is ​​my fairy bird, which means happiness and peace.I've always wanted to give you this hairpin, but I didn't have a good chance.Now, our misunderstanding has been resolved, and I hope you can accept your mother's wishes. "

"Mother." Tang Qingfeng looked at Wu Rumeng, stretched out his hand, took the box she handed over and said:

"Thank you."

"Qingfeng, we are mother and son, you don't need to thank you." Wu Rumeng returned, and then he looked at Tang Qingfeng, and said softly:

"This hairpin is called Fengqiuhuang. Fengqiuhuang and Fenghuang are loyal birds. They will guard each other unswervingly until death, and they can finally be reborn from the ashes.

Qingfeng, mother hopes that you will protect your beloved like a phoenix, and he will also be like a phoenix, never leave you, until death.

If you meet someone you like, you can give the phoenix hairpin as a gift, and your mother will definitely bless you. "

Listening to Wu Rumeng's words, Tang Qingfeng nodded slightly:

"Okay. Thank you mother."

"Well, let's go." Wu Rumeng said with a smile.

Tang Qingfeng looked at the two of them, and then said:

"Father, mother, Qingfeng bid farewell."

"En." The two nodded and watched Tang Qingfeng walk off the boat.

A few days later, in the small town at the foot of Wudang Mountain, Li Zhenwu was taking Chu Linglong to buy things on the street.

Chu Linglong stopped at a small stall selling sachets. She walked up and carefully selected the sachets, thinking which style Li Zhenwu would like.

She picked from the left, picked from the right, and then chose a sachet with an orchid pattern, looked at Li Zhenwu and asked:

"Brother Zhenwu, do you like orchids?"

Li Zhenwu was meditating, when she suddenly heard her talking about orchids, he raised his head to look at the orchid sachet in her hand, and recalled the gift of clothes from Tang Qingfeng.

"Brother Tang, he likes orchids, right?" 'Li Zhenwu thought.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Chu Linglong asked:

"Brother Zhenwu?"

Li Zhenwu came back to his senses, looked at her and said:

"Ah."

Seeing his answer, Chu Linglong happily said:

"Since Brother Zhenwu likes it, I will give you this orchid sachet. You took me around Wudang and cooked me a few days of food. I will go back with my father tomorrow. I don't know when we will be able to meet each other after this farewell." See, this sachet is a piece of my heart, please accept it, thank you for being with me these days."

After Chu Linglong finished speaking, Li Zhenwu looked at Chu Linglong, then at the sachet, and said:

"Miss Chu, you are welcome. You are guests from afar. This is what I should do."

"It doesn't matter whether you should do it or not, Senior Brother Zhenwu, just accept the sachet." Chu Linglong said.

"......" Li Zhenwu thought for a while, and was about to refuse, but heard a familiar voice coming from behind:

"True martial arts."

Hearing the voice, Li Zhenwu turned his head in disbelief, only to see Tang Qingfeng standing in the crowd, looking at him with a smile.

"Brother Tang." Li Zhenwu looked at Tang Qingfeng in the crowd, and tried his best to restrain himself from rushing forward.He turned around slowly and walked towards where Tang Qingfeng was.

Chu Linglong heard Li Zhenwu's words, and guessed that the person who came was the person Li Zhenwu mentioned that day, so she followed him and walked over.

Li Zhenwu walked up to Tang Qingfeng, looked at Tang Qingfeng in doubt and said:

"Brother Tang, didn't you go back to Tangmen? Why are you here?"

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and I miss you so much, so I came to look for Zhenwu. Does Zhenwu miss me?" Tang Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Brother Tang..." Li Zhenwu said.

"Okay, no kidding, Zhenwu, my father and mother have something to go to southern Yunnan, and my mother saw that I was alone in Tangmen for the New Year, and felt very lonely, so she suggested that I come to you, so that we can do things together in the future." Tang Qingfeng said.

"So that's the case." Li Zhenwu said clearly.

"Well, Zhenwu, my sudden arrival won't cause you any trouble." Tang Qingfeng asked.

"No, I'm very happy that brother Tang can come." Li Zhenwu smiled.

"Zhenwu, I'm also very happy." Tang Qingfeng smiled.

Chu Linglong came from behind and saw that Li Zhenwu and Tang Qingfeng had a happy conversation, so she said to Li Zhenwu:

"Brother Zhenwu, this is the Brother Tang you mentioned?"

"Who is this?" Tang Qingfeng looked at Chu Linglong and asked.

Li Zhenwu saw that the two were asking questions, so he said:

"Brother Tang, Miss Chu, let me introduce you. Miss Chu, this is Tang Qingfeng, the young master of the Tang Sect." Li Zhenwu looked at Tang Qingfeng and said:

"Brother Tang, this is Miss Chu Linglong from Taihua. Her father is Chu Xiaohe, head of Taihua. The head and my master are good friends. They are visiting Wudang this time."

"Oh, if that's the case, won't it be disturbing if I come?" Tang Qingfeng said.

"No, they are accompanied by Master. When you come, I will accompany you." Li Zhenwu said.

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng smiled.

Hearing what Li Zhenwu said, Chu Linglong looked a little displeased and said:

"Brother Zhenwu, you are biased, why do you have to accompany him when he comes. We have known each other for a few days, aren't we considered friends?"

"Miss Chu, I'm not, it's just..." Li Zhenwu wanted to explain, but Tang Qingfeng said:

"Miss Chu is also from a famous family. It's not good for you to persecute Zhenwu so arrogantly and unreasonably."

Chu Linglong was angry, seeing Tang Qingfeng's words were thorny, so she said:

"Why am I so rude and unreasonable? Isn't what I said the truth?"

"Oh, since the girl wants to tell me the truth, it's okay. You and Zhenwu have known each other for three days, and I have known Zhenwu for a year. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Who do you think he should accompany?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"I...... You...... Didn't you just say you haven't seen each other for a few days?" Chu Linglong said.

"Miss, have you ever heard that we haven't seen each other for a day, like three autumns. We haven't seen each other for a few days, but I don't know how many autumns have passed." Tang Qingfeng said.

"You, you are making too much sense." Chu Linglong said.

"Girls are also unruly and capricious." Tang Qingfeng said.

"You, you......... I'm so mad!!!" Chu Linglong said, turning around and walking towards Wudang.
