step on mountains and rivers

After leaving Moluo, the people traveled all the way eastward, and after walking for more than a month, they finally entered the border of Bashu.

By the Shu River, Tang Qingfeng looked at the crowd and said:

"A few days ago, I received a letter from my father asking me to go back to the Tang Sect. What are your plans?"

"I want to go back to Jingzhou. It's been too long since I've been out, and the old men are pressing me hard." Jiang Ling said.

"Well, it's okay, the Four Sacred Palaces and the Shenbingpu still need to be inquired carefully. If there is any news, please send a letter to contact immediately." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Okay." Jiang Ling nodded.

"Yes." Tang Qingfeng replied, then looked at Li Zhenwu and asked, "Zhenwu, are you going back to Wudang?"

Li Zhenwu shook his head and said: "No, Master wrote to say that he would go out to catch up with his friends, and he would come back at the end of the year."

"Oh, there are still a few months before the end of the year. Since Master has something to do, it would be boring to go back to Wudang alone. Zhenwu might as well go back to Tangmen with me, so we can do things together more conveniently." Tang Qingfeng said.

Li Zhenwu looked at him and nodded.

Jiang Ling looked at Lu Qing and said, "Are you going back to Immortal Medicine Valley?"

Lu Qing shook his head and said, "I'm alone. It doesn't matter where I go. I don't need to go back. I will continue to inquire about the Four Sacred Palace outside. If there is any news, I will inform you in time."

Seeing what Lu Qing said, Jiang Ling was slightly dissatisfied with him and said:

"Lu Qing, what are you talking about? What is celibacy? How can I let you inquire about the news alone? Do you regard us as friends? Since you don't want to go back, then follow me to Jingzhou. You are no better than me alone. The Beggar Clan is well-informed, so it doesn’t matter if you inquire or not. Besides, even if you want to inquire, you can go to Jingzhou to inquire.”

After hearing Jiang Ling's words, Lu Qing stared at him in a daze, then nodded in response: "Okay."

Tang Qingfeng glanced at Lu Qing, then said to Jiang Ling:

"Since it's been decided, let's separate here. Zhenwu and I will go back to Tangmen to have a look, and you and Lu Qing will go back to Jingzhou to check for news. If you find any clues, send a letter to contact us."

"Okay, Old Tang, you should contact us in time if you have anything to do," Jiang Ling said.

"Well, good." After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, he and Li Zhenwu boarded the boat and headed towards Tangmen.

Jiang Ling took Lu Qing down by boat and headed towards Jingzhou.

Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu boarded a boat and headed towards Tangmen.The scenery along the way remained the same. It was late autumn at this time, and the wind on the river made people a little cold.

"Zhenwu, it's windy on the river, go in and rest." Tang Qingfeng said.

Li Zhenwu shook his head and said: "It's okay, the scenery is very beautiful, I want to see more."

Tang Qingfeng looked at Li Zhenwu, smiled and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you."

The two looked at the familiar scenery and smiled at each other.

The boat passed through the water quietly, and the scenery along the river passed by like a memory, which made the two people sigh.

"Time flies so fast. The last time I came, it was still early spring." Li Zhenwu said.

"Well, before I know it, half a year has passed." Tang Qingfeng looked at Li Zhenwu and returned: "Zhenwu, I have experienced many things along the way, thank you for always being with me."

"Brother Tang, I did it voluntarily, so why do you need to thank me?" Li Zhenwu said.

"Yeah." Tang Qingfeng replied, he looked at Li Zhenwu with a smile in his eyes.

After the conversation between the two, the boat sailed for another hour, and arrived at the gate of Tangmen in the afternoon.

The boat docked slowly, and the two got off the boat. Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan had already been waiting at the pier. Seeing them approaching, they hurried forward to say hello.

"Young Master, Daoist Priest, you are finally back! Yuanyuan and I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much." Tuantuan said.

"En." Yuanyuan agreed.

Tang Qingfeng looked at the happy Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, and smiled slightly: "We haven't seen you two for a long time, but you just miss me, why do you think of Daoist?"

"The Taoist priest is the young master's friend, thinking of the Taoist priest is thinking of the young master." Tuantuan said happily.

"Well, Tuantuan is right." Tang Qingfeng smiled.He looked at the mountain gate, and it was very festive, so he asked:

"Is there any happy event in Tang Sect recently?"

"Yes, young master, the sect master called you back because of this." Yuanyuan returned.

"What's the matter?" Tang Qingfeng looked at Yuanyuan and asked.

"Miss Tang Xin is getting married." Yuanyuan replied.

"Tang Xin, time flies so fast, I didn't expect that she was going to get married." Tang Qingfeng sighed thoughtfully.

Tuantuan looked at Tang Qingfeng, and said secretly: "Young Master, Miss Tang Xin only gets married when she has someone she loves."

"Oh? Tuantuan seems to know something, tell me?" Tang Qingfeng asked curiously.

"Well, Tuantuan heard from other disciples that it seems to be Lin Qun, the son of the Lin family in Changmen Town. They traveled together in the rivers and lakes, and then they fell in love with each other, and fell in love with each other for a long time, and they got together." Tuantuan said softly.

"So that's how it is." Tang Qingfeng said if he realized something. "Zhenwu and I have been traveling together for a long time." He said and looked at Li Zhenwu.

After Tuanyuanyuan listened, he also looked at Li Zhenwu.

Then Tuantuan asked with a questioning face: "Young master, do you mean that you and the Taoist priest are also in love for a long time?"

"Tuantuan, don't talk nonsense." Yuanyuan immediately stopped her after hearing her words.

Tang Qingfeng didn't answer the two of them, but just looked at Li Zhenwu with a smile, and Li Zhenwu turned his head with a slightly red face.

Tuan Tuan looked at Tang Qingfeng because he didn't understand, and wanted to continue asking, but was pulled back by Yuan Yuan.

"Young master, let's go back to Tangmen first." Yuanyuan said.

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng smiled.

After speaking, Tang Qingfeng took Li Zhenwu and Tuan Yuanyuan up the long steps back to Tangmen.

Back at Tangmen, Tang Qingfeng took Li Zhenwu to his house, and Tuantuan and Yuanyuan followed behind them.

After several people entered the door, Tang Qingfeng looked at Tuanyuanyuan and said, "Tuanyuanyuan, you go to the kitchen to make some delicious food and send it over."

"Okay." Tuanyuanyuan nodded in response and walked out the door.

Tang Qingfeng watched the two leave, looked at Li Zhenwu and said, "Zhenwu, sit down."

Li Zhenwu found a chair and sat down, and then looked at the room. The room is very simple, basically with simple tables and chairs, and some plain vases. On both sides of the room, one is the study room and the other is the bedroom. The overall style is dark. .The bookshelves behind the study are full of dense books, all kinds of books, all of which have been read.

Li Zhenwu looked at the bookshelf slightly surprised and said:

"Those books..."

"Oh, I'm not interested in collecting them in my free time. Do Zhenwu want to go and have a look?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"Yes." Li Zhenwu nodded.

"Zhenwu come with me." Tang Qingfeng said and brought Li Zhenwu to the bookshelf. Li Zhenwu looked at the books on the bookshelf and asked slowly:

"Brother Tang, have you read all these books?"

"Well, when I was free, I read them slowly. There were also some books that I thought were good, so I read them a few more times." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Oh." Li Zhenwu looked at the bookshelf, and took out an old book from the bookshelf, the title of which was Daodejing.He gently opened it, and it was full of dense handwriting.

Li Zhenwu looked at Tang Qingfeng in a little surprise and asked: "This is the Taoist theory, brother Tang, do you like to read it too?"

Tang Qingfeng listened to Li Zhenwu's words, and said with a smile: "Well, I love to read, the book is very profound, and I can't understand it once, so I often study it. Every time I read it, I have a different understanding, so I wrote it down."

"Well, I am the same. It's just that I have little insight, not as thorough as Brother Tang's thinking." Li Zhenwu said.

"Zhenwu is too humble. You have been practicing in Wudang before, and you have never been in the world of mortals. Maybe you have less insights. If you look at it in the future, you will definitely have new insights." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Yes." Li Zhenwu nodded.

At this moment, the maid's voice came from the door.

"Young master, the sect master and his wife are here."

"Okay, I see." Tang Qingfeng returned, then looked at Li Zhenwu and said, "Zhenwu, read the book later."

"En." Li Zhenwu nodded, put down the book, and the two went out to meet Tang Qingfeng's parents.

As soon as Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu walked out of the door, they saw Tang Xiaolong coming towards him. Beside him was a beautiful woman who looked very similar to Wu Ruhuan, the head of the Wuxian patriarch.

A crescent eyebrow hangs under the white forehead, a pair of beautiful peach blossom and almond eyes are as soft as water, under the small and delicate bridge of the nose, the shallow red lips show a kind smile, smiling at Tang Qingfeng and Li True martial arts.

At that moment, Li Zhenwu was a little stunned, Wu Rumeng's gentle smile made him mistakenly think that he saw his mother.

Tang Qingfeng walked up to Tang Xiaolong and Wu Rumeng, saluted respectfully and said:

"Father, mother."

"En." Tang Xiaolong and Wu Rumeng nodded.

"Master Tang, Mrs. Tang, junior Li Zhenwu, pay my respects to the master and madam." Li Zhenwu said respectfully.

"The Taoist priest doesn't need to be too polite." Tang Xiaolong replied, then looked at Tang Qingfeng and said:

"Qingfeng, your mother and I have something to talk to you, let's go in and talk."

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng replied.

Li Zhenwu looked at Tang Xiaolong and Wu Rumeng and said, "Since the sect master has something to do, this junior will leave first."

"Zhenwu." Tang Qingfeng called softly, wanting to say something, but didn't speak.

Wu Ru dreamed that Tang Qingfeng seemed a little bit reluctant, so he understood what he was thinking, and then looked at Li Zhenwu with a smile and said:

"It's not something important, the Taoist priest will come in with Qingfeng and listen."

Li Zhenwu was a little surprised when he heard Wu Rumeng's words. Tang Xiaolong looked at the two and nodded, "It's the marriage of cousin Qingfeng. The Taoist priest doesn't need to avoid suspicion. It's okay to listen together."

"En. Good." Tang Qingfeng nodded in response, his eyes were full of joy, he pulled Li Zhenwu to follow Tang Xiaolong and Wu Rumeng, and walked into the door.

Tang Xiaolong and Wu Rumeng were sitting in the hall, Tang Qingfeng pulled Li Zhenwu to sit beside him.Tang Xiaolong looked at Wu Rumeng and said:

"Ma'am, it's up to you."

"En." Wu Rumeng nodded, looked at the two of them and said:

"Qingfeng, your cousin Tang Xin is going to get married in a few days. We want you to take care of some matters for her. After all, your uncle passed away very early, and her mother has worked very hard to bring her up alone. Now she is not in good health. , there are many things that can't be taken care of, and your father is busy with Tangmen's affairs, so we don't have much time to help her take care of it, so we hope you can help Tang Xin with it so that she can have a decent wedding."

"Okay, Qingfeng will follow his mother's instructions, and will try his best to handle this matter well," Tang Qingfeng said.

"Qingfeng doesn't need to be restrained, this is just a request, Qingfeng can do as he pleases." Wu Rumeng smiled.

"Yes, mother." Tang Qingfeng replied.

Wu Rumeng looked at Tang Qingfeng, then at Li Zhenwu, and then said softly, "If the Taoist priest has nothing else to do, can you accompany Qingfeng to help him deal with some difficult things."

"The younger generation has nothing to do, just listen to Madam's arrangement." Li Zhenwu said.

"Okay, thank you so much, Daoist." Wu Rumeng said.

"Ma'am, you are welcome." Li Zhenwu replied.

Tang Xiaolong nodded to Li Zhenwu to express his gratitude, then looked at Tang Qingfeng and said, "Qingfeng, I will leave this matter to you. If you have any difficulties, you can tell your mother."

"Yes, father." Tang Qingfeng replied.

"Well, well, it's getting late, you are tired from working outside, and hurried back, go to rest earlier. Your mother and I have other things to do, so I won't delay you." Tang Xiaolong took Wu Rumeng out of the door as he spoke. go.

When Wu Rumeng left, he looked at Li Zhenwu beside Tang Qingfeng, and then said to Tang Xiaolong:

"Li Daochang raised the child really well."

"Well, he is a sensible and steady child." Tang Xiaolong returned.

Li Zhenwu looked at the backs of Tang Xiaolong and Wu Rumeng leaving, and suddenly felt a little bit of reluctance in his heart.I don't know what kind of people my parents will be like?I haven't come to find myself for so long, maybe it's because I've encountered difficulties, or maybe I've passed away.

Tang Qingfeng looked at Li Zhenwu's reluctant eyes, and asked gently: "Zhenwu, what's the matter?"

Hearing Tang Qingfeng's voice, Li Zhenwu came back to his senses, looked at him and said:

"Brother Tang, your parents are fine."

Tang Qingfeng looked at Li Zhenwu, was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said:

"If Zhenwu likes it, we will come back often in the future."

Listening to his words, Li Zhenwu was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said:

"it is good."

Tang Qingfeng smiled happily after hearing Li Zhenwu's answer.
