Half a month later, after replacing sleep with sedation, the New Year is ushered in. This is the fourth New Year that Yin Hualou has spent in Tianyong City.

This year's New Year is a little different from the past due to the return of Master Ziyin from his wanderings. The big banquet was held at noon, and the master teacher and the elders all gathered in Tianfeng Pavilion to talk, and the rest of the disciples probably only had this day in a year. Open some rules and regulations, and you can drink some wine, all of which are osmanthus wine or plum wine brewed by the outer sect. It is very elegant and not very intoxicating.

Yin Hualou didn't like the taste of wine, so after a little taste, the plum wine tasted more like the juice drink she remembered.

It was past noon, and everyone still hadn't left the table. Yin Hualou couldn't walk away alone. Seeing her sipping repeatedly, Lu Lan smiled and said: "Although this plum wine tastes light, it has a stronger stamina than other wines. Junior sister is young, don't drink too much, the sweet-scented osmanthus brew is also good, you should try that."

Yin Hualou doesn't know how to make wine, so he realizes that it's too late to put down the wine cup, no wonder he felt his heart beating wildly before his eyes, and he felt dizzy before his eyes. Qi, you just drank a lot."

Yin Hualou hurriedly picked up some food and started to eat, and for a moment Lu Ying laughed and said: "I think the little junior sister is a little drunk, she is so cute, she can do whatever she is asked to do without making a sound."

When everyone looked at her carefully again, it turned out that the smell of alcohol was on her face, her cheeks were flushed, her lips were shining brightly, a little red mole between her eyebrows became more and more red, and her eyes were not as deserted as usual. His eyes are a little foggy, very different from his usual appearance, very pitiful and cute.

All of them laughed for a moment, how good it was, and hurriedly poured strong tea for her, Yin Hualou felt that something was wrong all over his body at the moment, his limbs were numb and weak, his eyes began to blur, and his heart beat extremely fast.

After drinking a cup of thick and bitter tea, she barely felt better. She was only slow in her actions, but she was sober in her heart. Hearing the laughter of Lu Lan and the others, she felt that she might not look good in this way, so she looked around At a glance, some seniors were already casting amazed glances at her frequently. With a chill in their hearts, they barely calmed down and said to Lu Lan and the others: "Sisters, let's get together for a while, the room is noisy, I'll go out and stand."

Thinking that she drank a lot of wine, Lu Lan was afraid that it would be inconvenient, so she said, "If I don't want to go with you, can I still go?"

Yin Hualou waved her hand and said: "Don't bother, I just feel a little uncomfortable, I'll go." Seeing that her words were calm, Lu Lan stopped insisting and watched her walk out.

The snow outside the door had not receded, and the cold wind was blowing, and she was shivered by the cold air.Taking a few deep breaths of cold air, I originally wanted to suppress the smell of alcohol, but after a while, the coldness dissipated due to the surge of qi and blood, and the feeling of dizziness became more and more serious.

She regretted it very much at this time, this was her first time drinking, she really should have asked before drinking the plum wine, it would be extremely impolite for Master to see this swaying appearance, thinking like this in her heart, she didn't know where to go along the way , staggering with vain footsteps, I arrived outside the Yuanting Pavilion in the heart of the back mountain. When I sat down leaning on the railing, I saw that the pots of roses were covered with ice and snow, and the flowers, branches and leaves were gone. The old pine tree at the top stood silently in a vast expanse of whiteness, and for some reason, the figure of that person floated in his mind.

With this in mind, she raised her spirits and jumped up to the top of the peak. The chill was even worse, and her eyes became more and more ignorant. The bright red plum blossoms competing to bloom on several old plum trees gradually turned into clusters of dancing candles in her eyes. , just like the one in the master's room, stumbled towards those candles, but it messed up the plum branches, scattered the snow on the flower stamens, and fell on her hair and neck, which made her find a few candles. Distracted, he passed through the plum grove, walked to the old tree, and then fell limply. His eyes were blurred, and the field of vision was extremely vast and boundless. There were no traces of clouds and birds, only the snow-covered fairy mountain. The sourness that has been suppressed for a long time can't be closed.

It turns out...it's also the Mid-Autumn Festival here...It turns out that she still doesn't regard herself as a person here, and the affection of Yin's parents is wrong, no matter what Hard work, it is hard to go against my heart, and I can't give birth to admiration. There are thousands of lights under this mountain, no matter how clever she is, she can't see the one that belongs to her, and she can't see whether her parents are there during the Qingming and Winter Solstice. An extra pair of bowls and chopsticks were placed on the table, how her vacant room hurt their hearts on the day of reunion...

For a while, I thought of the independent immortal in Lintian Pavilion, and my heart was even more depressed. After a long time, I finally sighed secretly: "You were born as a lonely ghost in this world. The world is so big that you can't find it. If you don’t go, you have nowhere to come from, and nowhere to go. Do you also feel that you were born to practice the ruthless way? But where does the infatuation come from in your heart and leave it to the frosty and cold sword fairy. Too much forgetting love, how to explain it... ...."

The cold wind howled softly, only blowing away the silent thoughts under the tree without a trace...

In the study room, while talking with Lingyue, Master Ziyin looked out at the sky again, wondering: "When did the luncheon end today? Where did the kid from the painting building go? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

Ling Yue said: "The disciple has asked someone to go to Kaiyang Tower to inquire, I'm afraid he should go there to talk."

Suddenly a disciple came in to report, but the Taoist had never been to Kaiyang Tower, and left before the banquet was over, no one knew where she went.

Only then did Ling Yue feel that something was wrong, he stood up and said, "Master, please take a seat, and this disciple will go check it out."

Master Ziyin got up and waved his hands and said: "I'm afraid I won't talk anywhere." After thinking for a while, he said: "I'll go to the back mountain to see, today is the New Year, the day of reunion..."

There was some unfinished meaning in his words, Ling Yue understood for a while, maybe the child was hiding and homesick.

Immortal Ziyin arrived at the back mountain, but she was nowhere to be seen. The more Ling looked around, the more worried he became, and said: "Usually she has little contact with others, where did she go today? Lu Lan said that she drank a lot , the snow hasn’t stopped, the weather is so cold.”

Master Ziyin's eyes fell on the few pots of withered roses, and he thought: "In the past, when I taught her sword formulas, she was used to standing on the top of the peak for half an hour, and she didn't know what she was thinking. What, go up and have a look, don’t sleep on it.”

A few people hurried up to the top of the peak, and saw a corner of the old pine behind the plum tree with a purple dress on the ground. Looking around the tree, the girl's eyes were closed, her face was pink, her breath was full of alcohol, and she was leaning on the ground. I don't know how long she has been in a coma by the tree trunk. She is completely unconscious. The dense pine trees covered a lot of snowflakes for her. It's because the skin is cold, but fortunately, the blood is a little fluttering, but the pulse is stable.

Ling Yue was a little nervous and said, "Master?"

Master Ziyin turned his head and said: "It's okay, it's just that I can't bear the strength of alcohol, and my blood is surging. I sat in the snow for half a day, and some cold air entered my body. It's okay to get rid of it with spiritual power."

Seeing that she was lethargic, he sighed inwardly, the sky was high and the road was far away, where the geese returned, and he dreamed of his hometown several times, but finally couldn't bear to wake her up, leaned over and picked her up and walked down the peak, Ling Yue let go of his hanging heart , was waiting to follow, when he caught a glimpse of two lines of handwriting left on the snow, but most of them were covered by the snow, it was a little difficult to distinguish, Ling Yue took a closer look, and only recognized "...I'm going..., ...Liu...Lai Si...Fei..." A few words, and another two words, Ling Yue only felt that it seemed to be the taboo "Ziyin" of the master's name, and was a little surprised and uncertain for a while. , Seeing that the master was going far away, he didn't care to look too much, so he hurriedly followed.

When Yin Hualou regained consciousness, she found herself lying on the bed, a little dazed for a moment, turned her head and saw that it was Lu Lan who was sitting and reading a book, she sat up, Lu Lan hurriedly put down the book and said: "You are awake Got it! It scared the hell out of me! How to run into the snow and fall asleep!"

Yin Hualou was also taken aback. Looking outside, it was already dark. He said, "How long have I been sleeping? How did I get back?"

Lu Lan said: "It's been two or three hours and I can't find you anywhere. It was Elder Ziyin who wanted to go to the peak to see it, so he found it behind the old pine tree. You haven't woken up. Elder Ziyin was worried. I took a pulse before leaving, and I dare not let you drink again in the future!"

Lu Lan handed her a cup of strong tea while talking, Yin Hualou took it and drank it down, the bitterness dilutes the dryness in her mouth, and her mind is a little clearer, but she is still a little swollen. She won't drink anymore either.

Getting up to send Lu Lan away, Yin Hualou went back to the courtyard, saw that the light in the study room was on, hesitated a few times, and went in anyway, Ziyin saw that she seemed to have a shame on her face, so he didn't point it out, put down his pen and said: "Now we can What's wrong with you?"

Yin Hualou said in a low voice: "Thank you for your concern, Master. The disciple is not uncomfortable. Today, the disciple has nothing to do and offended Master..."

Immortal Ziyin stopped and said: "It's not an offense. You don't know the way of drinking. Fortunately, it's not a serious problem. You are still young, and it is easy to hurt your body when you are drunk like today. You should take it as a warning in the future."

Seeing that there was no hesitation on his face, Yin Hualou breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "My disciple doesn't like the taste of wine, so there will be no such thing in the future."

Seeing how cautious she was, Master Ziyin said softly, "Aren't you homesick today? It's human nature to be homesick and homesick. You don't have to restrain yourself too much because of your practice. Only by letting nature take its course can you cultivate your original heart. If you just force yourself, one day It is difficult to suppress the pain of backlash, and we must remember it in the future."

Yin Hualou respectfully responded, feeling agitated in his heart, facing him with clear eyes, but he didn't dare to think any more, after a long while, he said softly: "Master, this disciple experienced the state of sedation last night, until he woke up at dawn, It's not mentally ill, I don't know if it's appropriate?"

Master Ziyin didn't seem surprised, and said: "Is the time for entering meditation twice in one day increased? There is nothing wrong with this. In the way of practice, the state of closing the six senses is better than sleep for the recovery of energy. , it’s just that you have to do what you want, and you can’t rely too much on it, so as not to go crazy!”

Yin Hualou responded one by one, and the real Ziyin told her how to deal with the abnormalities she saw or felt after entering the samadhi. The master and the apprentice were talking, and Gu Jun came in and said: "Master, the Tibetan scriptures The high-quality Yunwu camellia was sent over there, let's drink tea together tonight to celebrate the new year."

Master Ziyin said: "That's fine, Ling Yue likes the fragrance of this tea, so when he comes, light up all the lamps on the outer porch."

Yin Hualou saw that he had a slightly happy face, and his heart moved slightly. He immediately thought that senior brother Tu Su had gone, and the brother in charge was obsessed. If he couldn't achieve the Tao in the future, he might leave his master in a few decades. , the two senior brothers practiced with their master since they were young, like fathers and sons, and they were separated once. Since then, the master on Kunlun Mountain has been alone for thousands of years, lonely for a hundred years... Maybe, I really have to think about it. I have plans for the future.

Master Ziyin gave instructions to Gu Jun, seeing the girl in a trance and not knowing where she had gone, thinking about the situation where she was sleeping alone in the snow today, he sighed secretly, so he didn't call her, just Leave her mind to wander.
