The small window of the slanted bar is half open, and the plum fragrance is cold.

Just after the hour, Duanmu Xiaoxian silently looked out the window with the tea in his hand, and a slight cold wind entered the house, and there were bursts of vermilion plum fragrance wafting in that direction.

The snow is cold, and the next day of this Lantern Festival is rarely a sunny day after the snow, but Duanmu still smells the snow.

"I'm afraid it's going to snow. As soon as she put down the teacup in her hand, Ye Luye pushed the door and entered the house.

"Master, everything is ready, and the disciple will take you into the carriage. ”

Duanmu Xiaoxian nodded silently.

Outside the gate of Lezheng, the morning dew is refreshing, the winter sun melts the snow, the cold is even worse, the snow is still heavy, and the flowers and trees are drooping.

Le Zheng Qingyin and his wife respectfully sent their master and apprentice into the carriage, ordered someone to escort them outside the city, and followed them on foot for a hundred and ten steps before they stopped, and returned home with a silent sigh.

The carriage with a thick dark curtain was in front, and the carriage with a light color was behind, driving smoothly on the official road.

Ah Zi yawned and muttered: "This Lezheng family still has a conscience, and has prepared a carriage for us, so we finally don't have to ride a horse, otherwise it will be much colder!"

Lan Suwan knocked her with a gentle smile: "You, it's cold at this time, maybe it's boring to stay, and you're going to go down and ride a horse...... Fortunately, Le Zheng's family thought about it thoroughly, the carriage is pulled by four horses, adding up to eight horses, if you want to ride it, you can free one horse. ”

Ah Zi squinted and smiled: "Second Senior Sister knows Ah Zi best, when I am full of sleep, I will go down to ride a horse and play! Let me be bored in the carriage for more than a month to return to Jingzhou, I can't stand it." She turned to the corner of the carriage, and the young man was quietly flipping through the book in his hand.

"Xiao Yunzi, are you afraid of the cold? Let's ride a horse with Ah Zi later!"

The young man didn't raise his head, but only replied casually: "Okay." ”

The purple-clothed girl smiled, but when she looked up, she seemed to catch a glimpse of the blue-clothed girl beside her for a moment of unnaturalness, and she was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned her head and asked, "Second Senior Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Lan Suwan was immediately stunned, and when she came back to her senses, her face was still soft, and she only smiled: "It's nothing, I don't know that the master is in front, but it's fine." ”

In the corner of the carriage, the young man's hand flipping through the book unconsciously paused slightly, but the purple-clothed girl immediately laughed: "Second Senior Sister, don't worry! There is a Senior Sister here!" She seemed to think of something, and said curiously: "By the way, Second Senior Sister, you are going back to the valley with us like this, have you said goodbye to Mei Shuying in Jingyun Pavilion or something?"

Lan Suwan stared at Ah Zi Xiaoxu, and then said softly: "I have been there since Mao, and I have spoken to Jiuli and Yingli, but unfortunately Brother Mei seems to have not gotten up yet, so I can't see it." ”

Ah Zi was immediately disdainful: "I can't afford to pay it back, this Shocking Cloud Pavilion Mei Shuying is lazier than Ah Zi, such a person, Second Senior Sister, you still don't want to marry him! Ah Zi doesn't think he's good!"

The soft color on Lan Suwan's face faded by two points: "I do have a marriage contract with Brother Mei, but Brother Mei never forces me, this marriage is a lifelong event, Ah Zi, you don't know what I think in my heart, don't talk about it like this anymore......"

The girl in purple was stunned, looked at the girl in blue in a daze, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. After a while, he said, "Oh......"

But at this time, the coachman who drove them called out and stopped the carriage, and the young man who was originally sitting quietly in a corner of the carriage paused, and then raised his head and lifted the curtain to look, and saw the thick snow in the mountains and forests outside the curtain, and the carriage with dark heavy curtains in front stopped on the side of the road, and the woman in green jumped down from the car.

Two people wearing dark coats and looking like ordinary disciples stepped forward, behaving respectfully, and handed over a brocade bag with both hands.

"That's ......" Yun Xiao was stunned, Ah Zi's head poked out from his side, and he immediately said happily: "That's a disciple of Senyun Sect!

Yun Xiao hesitated for a moment, got out of the carriage and stepped forward, and when the two saw him, they immediately saluted, "I've seen Senior Brother Yun Xiao." ”

These two people are obviously older than him, Yun Xiao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, Ye Luye said: "They are the disciples of the master's uncle, and they are the disciples of the Yunmen Branch. She reached out to the two people and took the brocade bag, and said indifferently: "This is what the master wants you to send to my master?"

The two of them in front of them were both young people, much older than Yun Xiao and Ye Luye, but they were quite respectful when they spoke: "Senior Sister Hui, the sect master sent us to send it to the third senior uncle." ”

The mountain breeze in the forest was light, the cold was like silk, Yun Xiao heard a very thin cough, and Duanmu Xiaoxian in the car asked Ningran: "Senior brother, do you have anything to say to Duanmu?"

When the two disciples heard Duanmu's words, their voices became even more solemn, and they immediately replied: "Master has never explained anything, just send this to the third uncle." ”

Duanmu Xiaoxian coughed again, and said softly: "I'm tired." ”

The two disciples were even more respectful, and immediately knelt on the ground: "The disciples don't dare to be." ”

Inside the car, Mu Xiaoxian sighed slightly, and ordered Ye Luye to collect the things and get into the car.

"My master has accepted the things, you can wait for the return, and we will set off. Ye Luye turned over and got into the car, said a word, and watched the two retreat to the side of the road.

"Let's go. Duanmu Xiaoxian said to Ye Luye slowly, and then turned to say: "Xiao'er come up, I have something to say to you." ”

Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously glanced at the woman in green in front of the car.

Ye Luye said solemnly: "Don't delay, Master called you, quickly get into the car, I'll drive." ”

The two carriages drove slowly on the road again, Ah Zi lowered the curtain and pouted: "If it weren't for the senior sister who thought we were arguing with the master to rest, we would all be in the same carriage!"

Lan Suwan shook her head slightly, and said with a gentle smile: "Senior sister is disgusted, I'm afraid it's just you." ”

Ah Zi suddenly snorted softly, stuck out his tongue and skimmed his face.

Ye Luye never worried about leaving Duanmu's safety to others, because the carriage where Ah Zi and the others were was indeed driven by the coachman sent by the Lezheng family, and the carriage where Duanmu was always driven by Ye Luye himself. At this moment, Yun Xiao entered the car, and saw four warm small stoves embedded in the four corners, and the huge carriage was covered with snow-white blankets, layered on top of each other, as thick as a quilt, and the top one was the one made of the snow-capped spirit fox fur sent by the Shentu family that day.

But even so, under the reflection of the night pearl, Duanmu Xiaoxian's face was still very pale.

The people in the car were taking out the contents of the brocade bag just now, and Yun Xiao saw at a glance that it was a roll of bamboo carved documents. It suddenly became clear in my heart that the bamboo carvings "Liutao" and "Grip the Strange Sutra" that the master had been looking at when he was in the valley must have been given by the master.

"Master, the bamboo body is cold, it's better for you to rest more, don't let the senior sister worry. ”

Duanmu Xiaoxian put down the bamboo scroll in her hand when she heard this, and Xue Wa'er took the opportunity to slip back into her hands.

"Xiao'er. Duanmu called lightly, waited for Yun Xiao to respond, and continued: "You entered my Guiyun Valley at the age of eleven and worshipped me as a teacher, and it has been three years now. ”

Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment, not knowing why, just raised his eyes to look at her.

Duanmu was silent for a moment, and then said, "I haven't told you about your life experience, and you never ask." ”

Yun Xiao was shocked. Ye Luye, who was outside the carriage, couldn't help but tighten the reins in his hand when he heard this.

Duanmu stroked the snow baby, and his face was calm and peaceful: "It's just that the older you get, you can't hide what you see and hear when you walk outside." She paused for a moment and said, "I don't intend to sue you at this moment, I just want you to remember, if you know anything in the future, you need to remember that you are my person who returned to Yungu, and I am a disciple of Duanmu, and everything else should be put down." ”

Yun Xiao was slightly stunned, looking at the woman in white sitting in the car.

His voice turned solemn, and Duanmu Xiaoxian said sternly: "I have nothing else to ask for you, but this is the only thing you must remember." ”

Yun Xiao came back to his senses in an instant, and immediately bowed his head in response: "Yes, the disciple must keep it in mind." ”

"Really?"

Yun Xiao didn't expect Duanmu to ask, hesitated slightly, but said solemnly: "Yun Xiao will never dare to deceive what the master said. ”

Duanmu Xiaoxian sighed slightly, stretched out his hand, and said slowly: "You stretch out your hand." ”

Yun Xiao immediately knelt a few steps closer, stretched out his hand, Duanmu Xiaoxian took his pulse, and said: "You are practicing your mental method when I pass it on, and I am very pleased to be a teacher." She paused for a moment before she said, "I will pass on you, the former is the method of meditation...... Although you have the ability to reconcile your own internal strength, most of them are still helping others to calm down and calm down. ”

Yun Xiao didn't hear her, so he didn't say anything.

"I have let them practice martial arts before they practice, but you are the only one who has been practicing for the longest time......"

Yun Xiao looked up inexplicably, but the expression of the person in front of him was too light, and he couldn't see anything after all.

Duanmu said softly: "It is the selfishness of the teacher to let you practice the meditation method for so long, and now it seems that I am too worried." ”

"Master?" Yun Xiao was stunned.

"For the teacher the day before yesterday passed on your set of mental methods, and a set of swordsmanship corresponding, this swordsmanship is extremely strict and difficult to practice, if it is not for the talent and hard work, it will not be possible, for the teacher has the heart to teach you, you and learn by heart. ”

Yun Xiao was solemn when he heard this: "Yes, disciple Master Xie." ”

Duanmu was silent for a moment, and only said: "You don't have to thank me, I will definitely teach you this sword technique, and what I said before, you must keep it in mind." ”

Yun Xiao couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but he still responded respectfully: "Xiao Er is a disciple of Guiyun Valley, and he will not dare to forget it." ”

Duanmu Xiaoxian silently looked in his direction, and after a while, Fang nodded.

Yun Xiao knelt silently for a long time, then moved, got up and put away the bamboo rolls that Duanmu Xiaoxian had placed on both sides of his body, and reset them in the square brocade bag. But at this time, a long cry was heard, the carriage fell and fell, and the body came to a sudden stop.

Yun Xiao heard Ye Luye whispering in the car, although he tried his best to stabilize the horse, but he still couldn't help but turn upside down, the body shook for a while, Yun Xiao held a bamboo roll in his hand, and half knelt and half stood up, he couldn't stabilize his body for a while, so he fell down into the carriage, Duanmu Xiaoxian didn't seem to expect it, and there was nowhere to avoid it, the young man's thin body pressed on her impartially, and heard Xue Wa'er scream, Yun Xiao was stunned and was half supported and half hugged by the woman under him.

It seemed that he was only stunned for a moment, and then seemed to be stunned for a long time, and when Yun Xiao came back to his senses, he only heard the woman under him coughing lightly.

Duanmu Xiaoxian eased his breath for a moment, and said to him slowly: "Xiao'er get up, don't crush Xue Wa'er." ”

The young man immediately supported his body and wanted to get up, but before he could get up, Ye Luye had already lifted the curtain to probe, and when he saw it, he was stunned: "Master?"

Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment, got up, and quietly got out of the carriage.

Ye Luye got into the car and straightened the tilted overturned object. Duanmu Xiaoxian was checking the little ferret's muscles and bones in his palm.

"Is there anything wrong with this little ferret?" Ye Luye couldn't help but ask.

Duanmu Xiaoxian let go and let it run away on its own, and said lightly: "It's okay, Xiao'er is not heavy, and the ferret's body is also soft, it should be fine." ”

Ye Luye glanced at the woman in the car, didn't ask any more, and Duanmu said, "This place is the place where the phalanx is broken?"

Ye Luye Liying: "Yes." ”

"The man who stopped the carriage must be a ghost old-timer. Duanmu Xiaoxian sighed slightly.

Ye Luye responded again: "It's him, Master, I'll help you to the chair." ”

Knowing that it was inevitable, Duanmu nodded silently: "Hmm." ”

Ye Luye put the spirit fox chief on the person in the car, and carefully helped her out of the carriage.
