step on mountains and rivers

After everyone discussed, they rested at Yanbei Camp for one night and left the next day.

The four left Yanbei, separated in the land of Jingchu, traveled in three ways, and left separately.

Li Zhenwu looked at the back of Tang Qingfeng and the three leaving, turned around and headed back towards Wudang.

After traveling for a few days, Li Zhenwu returned to the small town at the foot of Wudang Mountain.There are people coming and going in the small town, and it is very lively.Li Zhenwu looked at the bustling crowd, thinking that it should be because of the Chinese New Year, so everyone came to the town to buy and prepare for the New Year.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods on the street, he was slightly amazed.Commodities are complex and varied.The items needed for the New Year are all available, which greatly facilitates the purchasers.

Li Zhenwu looked at the goods and fell into contemplation. 'Do you want to buy something for Master to take back? He thought to himself before he walked to the stall selling New Year's goods on the side of the street, and quickly glanced at the items in the stall. Seeing that they were all festive items such as lanterns, firecrackers, and red candles, he thought about Master Xijing, these things should be No need, then turned and left, and came to a small food stall.The pastries on the stall were fancy, delicate and colorful, but Master didn't seem interested in these either.

He was turning around to leave, but he saw the small white balls beside the stall, so he turned around and asked the pastry lady:

"Ma'am, what is the price of the white pills in the sieve?"

The aunt was warmly greeting the guests, when she suddenly heard a soft voice coming from her side, she turned her head to look, and saw a handsome young man in a black Taoist robe looking at her, waiting for an answer.

The aunt stared at the young man in a daze for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Master Xiaodao, the small meatballs in the sieve were prepared by the old lady for her family, and they are not going to be sold."

"Oh, sorry, I was abrupt." Li Zhenwu said.

The aunt was a little disappointed to see him, thinking that he might like these meatballs very much.Thinking that her son also loves this little ball very much, that's why she prepared some for her son who is about to return.

She looked at Li Zhenwu who turned to leave, thought for a while and said:

"Master Dao, I have made enough meatballs, I can give you some evenly."

Li Zhenwu was about to leave. After hearing what the aunt said, he stopped, looked at the aunt and said:

"Thank you."

"Don't be polite, Daoist. Daoist just came back from a long trip. My son is coming back today. These are all prepared for him. But our mother and I can't eat so much. It doesn't matter if I share some with Daoist." As he spoke, he armed Li Zhen with Xiaowanzi.

She filled about half of the meatballs and handed them to Li Zhenwu:

"Master Dao, these meatballs are stuffed with sweet sesame seeds, and they can be eaten after boiling them in water."

"Hmm." Li Zhenwu took the ball, took out a bank note from his body, and handed it over.

He didn't have any money. Before Tang Qingfeng left, he forced him a few bank notes, saying that it would cost him money on the way back to Wudang. He thought about it and accepted it.

The aunt looked at the thousand taels of silver note that Li Zhenwu handed over, and was stunned for a moment, then said embarrassedly:

"Master Dao, your bank note is too big, and I don't have that much money to find it. Look, do you have any smaller pieces of silver?"

Li Zhenwu watched the aunt thinking for a while, then shook his head.

The aunt saw him shaking his head, thinking that a gentle and humble person like him would definitely not deceive herself.So she said to Li Zhenwu:

"Since the Taoist priest doesn't have broken silver, I won't charge you any money. These balls are given to you. I wish you a happy new year."

Li Zhenwu listened to the aunt's words, looked at the meatballs, then at her, put the silver ticket in the aunt's hand, and smiled at her:

"Ma'am, I wish you a happy new year and a happy family." After speaking, she took the balls and turned to leave.

The aunt looked at the person who left, and then at the bank note in her hand, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Seeing that Li Zhenwu was so generous, everyone speculated that he might be the son of some family who came to Wudang to practice.Li Zhenwu naturally didn't know what everyone was thinking.

He looked at the meatballs in his hand, and remembered the wine glutinous rice balls he ate with Tang Qingfeng at Tangmen last time, they tasted very good.So he bought some more rice wine at the wine shop, and then walked up the mountain with his things.

He walked on the mountain road, looking at the scenery in front of him, the memories of the past floated up one after another, but in this memory, Tang Qingfeng's figure was added.

He looked at the clouds in the distance and thought to himself, "I wonder if Brother Tang has returned to the Tang Sect."

After Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu separated, they separated from Jiangling and Lu Qing at Taoyuan Ferry, boarded a boat, and headed for Tangmen.

He looked at the familiar scenery in front of him, the small village was still the same.It's just that the person who appreciates it is not around at this time.

"Zhenwu, Xiaocun is still the same, the person who is waiting to return, do you miss him. '

After Jiang Ling, Lu Qing and Tang Qingfeng parted, they headed towards the Valley of Immortal Medicine.

The two passed through Taoyuan Village and came to the entrance of the Immortal Medicine Valley.Although it is winter, the Valley of Immortal Medicine is full of spring.

All kinds of exotic flowers are blooming in the flower fields, attracting bees to be busy foraging.

"Being away for so long, everything remains the same." Lu Qing looked at Huatian and said.

"Well, the Valley of Immortal Medicine is located in the south, so it's extremely warm, and the flowers bloom in winter, it's really beautiful." Jiang Ling said.

While the two were admiring the scenery, Liu Ruxue and Lu Xiang'er were walking from a distance. When they saw Lu Qing and Jiang Ling coming back, they walked forward quickly.

Lu Xiang'er looked at Jiang Ling and Lu Qing and said:

"Brother Jiang, Mr. Lu, why are you back?"

"Come back and have a look." Lu Qing said. "Do you have something to go out?"

"Yeah." Lu Xiang'er replied.

"Xiang'er and I are going shopping in Taoyuan Village. Do you have anything to buy? We'll bring it back for you." Liu Ruxue asked.

Lu Qing thought about it and just took a look. There was nothing to buy, so he wanted to refuse, but Jiang Ling said:

"Okay, please ask Miss Liu to bring us a herring," Jiang Ling said.

"Okay." Liu Ruxue replied, and then walked out of the valley with Lu Xiang'er.

After watching the two leave, Lu Qing looked at Jiang Ling and asked:

"What do you want herring for?"

Jiang Ling listened to Lu Qing's question, looked at him and said with a smile: "The fish soup last time was very delicious, I want to drink it again."

After hearing his words, Lu Qing was slightly taken aback, and then said: "Okay."

Li Zhenwu was walking towards the small courtyard in the mountain with meatballs and rice wine. He looked at the familiar courtyard and gently pushed open the courtyard door, only to see that the master was sitting in the courtyard chatting with a man and a woman. The man was equal to the master. Years old, majestic with kindness, he was chatting with the master, and the two looked very happy.

The woman was the same age as her. She looked lively and cheerful, interrupting the conversation between the two from time to time, which made the two elders laugh again and again.

Li Chengfeng was talking with his old friend when he saw Li Zhenwu pushing the door in, so he turned to look at him and said:

"Zhenwu, you're back."

"Hmm." After Li Zhenwu nodded, he walked closer under the gaze of the three.

Li Chengfeng looked at Li Zhenwu and introduced him:

"Zhenwu, this is my teacher's good friend, head of Chu Xiaohe from Taihua. Next to me is the daughter of head Chu, Miss Chu Linglong."

After listening to Li Chengfeng's introduction, Li Zhenwu saluted respectfully:

"Master Chu is polite, Miss Chu is polite"

"Nephew Zhenwu, you are welcome. Your master and I have been close friends for many years. When I was young, I often came to Wudang to see you. Do you still remember?" Chu Xiaohe smiled.

"Well, I remember." Li Zhenwu replied.

After listening to Li Zhenwu's answer, Chu Xiaohe nodded slightly, and then said to Li Chengfeng:

"Brother Li, your apprentice is really well raised. Gentle and humble, respectful and polite. Unlike my girl, who is crazy and has no manners. When the elders are talking, they interrupt randomly."

"Brother Chu is overrated, Linglong is lively and cheerful, unlike my apprentice, who is dull and silent, unloved." Li Chengfeng said.

Chu Linglong heard what Li Chengfeng said, looked at Li Zhenwu, and then said to Li Chengfeng:

"Senior Uncle Li is too modest. Senior Brother Zhenwu was born so handsome, with a gentle and humble temper, how could he be unliked by others? Is the uncle afraid that too many women will favor Senior Brother Zhenwu, so he said that."

"You little girl, how can you talk to elders like that." Seeing Chu Linglong interjecting, Chu Xiaohe reprimanded softly.

"Daddy, am I wrong?" Chu Linglong asked coquettishly.

Chu Xiaohe was stopped by her question, and was thinking about how to answer, but he heard Li Chengfeng say:

"Linglong is right, thank you for your praise of Zhenwu."

"Uncle, I just told the truth. Brother Zhenwu deserves this honor." Chu Linglong looked at Li Zhenwu and smiled.

"The girl is too famous." Li Zhenwu replied.

Seeing Li Zhenwu speak, Chu Linglong looked at him with a smile and said:

"Brother Zhenwu is humble."

She looked at Li Zhenwu and saw that he was holding meatballs and rice wine in his hands, so she asked curiously:

"Brother Zhenwu buys meatballs and rice wine, isn't he going to make something delicious?"

Seeing her asking, Li Zhenwu replied:

"Ah."

"Oh? What food is it?" Chu Linglong asked.

"Jiu Niang Balls." Li Zhenwu replied.

"Wine rice balls? What are they?" Chu Linglong asked.

"Bashu snacks." Li Zhenwu said.

"Oh, no wonder I haven't eaten it." Chu Linglong said.

"En." Li Zhenwu nodded, looked at Li Chengfeng and Chu Xiaohe and said, "Master, Master Chu, you haven't had lunch yet, I'll do it right away."

"Okay." Li Chengfeng nodded.

"Yeah." Li Zhenwu nodded, turned and walked towards the kitchen.

"Brother Zhenwu, I will accompany you." Chu Linglong stood up and followed behind Li Zhenwu.

At this moment in the Immortal Medicine Valley, Lu Xiang'er was carrying the herring to the flower field. She walked to the door, handed the herring to Jiang Ling, and then turned and left.

Jiang Ling carried the herring to the kitchen, but he didn't see Lu Qing. After handling the fish, he walked out of the kitchen and found Lu Qing in the bedroom.

Seeing that Lu Qing was holding a stack of bank notes in a daze, he stepped forward and said:

"Lu Qing, why do you have so many bank notes?"

Lu Qing was meditating, but when he heard Jiang Ling's words, he woke up from his contemplation.He looked at Jiang Ling and said:

"I asked Brother Tang for it when I rescued Brother Li earlier."

"Oh, why don't you use it if you want it? What do you keep it for?" Jiang Ling asked.

"This thing is useless to me. I just wanted to keep it as a thought." Lu Qing said.

"Lu Qing..." Jiang Ling looked at him, and he could clearly feel his loneliness at that time.

"What about my money?" Jiang Ling asked.

"Also." Lu Qing took out the money bag from the box as he spoke.

Jiang Ling looked at the purse in Lu Qing's hand, and said:

"What do you want to think about with silver, here it is!" He took out a square emerald jade engraved with his name from his body, handed it to Lu Qing, then looked at Lu Qing and said seriously:

"Lu Qing, my father made this for me when I was born. When I was young, my father died in a war, and Uncle Dayu was his brother, who adopted me and brought me up.

I have always carried this jade with me as my father's guardian.Here it is for you now, you can take it as a guardian,......you can take it as a thought if you want. "

Listening to Jiang Ling's words, Lu Qing looked at the emerald jade in his hand, gently held it in his palm, and smiled at Jiang Ling:

"it is good."
