There are thousands of miles of mountains on the southwest border of the country, its land is high and forested, the climate is warm and moist, there are many rare and rare, but the mountains are high and steep, and there are many strange insects and beasts, there have been many people who have entered the mountain for the rare treasures, and there are few survivors, until now it is inaccessible, and later, people say, 100,000 mountains. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is rumored that in the gap between the cliffs of the 100,000 mountains, there is a valley, and there are many peach blossoms in the valley.

There is an immortal in the valley, who calls himself a peach blossom fairy.

Peach Blossom Valley because it is located in the cracks, so there are quite few wild beasts, there is a bamboo forest under the cliff in the north, there are three bamboo houses in front of the forest, there is an acre of vegetable field in front of the bamboo house, and the whole small courtyard is simply enclosed with a fence. There is a waterfall in the northwest of the bamboo house that cascades down from the cliff, and under the waterfall is a waterhole that is more than a foot long, and the water is crystal clear.

Two streams stretched downstream of the pool, and these two streams surrounded the small courtyard surrounded by the fence, but they met in front of the courtyard, and flowed straight out from the courtyard gate, making the stream look as if it flowed from the gate of the courtyard.

The creek is deep and there are many strange fish in it, and it can eat human bones.

In the middle of the stream is a small stone pier with a square interval of two meters, which is the only path into the courtyard.

On both sides of the creek are patches of peach groves, and now the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the patches of pink are not attractive.

"Tao Lao, I'm back!"

I saw a rough boy about fourteen or fifteen years old running from the mouth of the valley, and the distance of two meters between the stone piers was easy for her. Jumping up to a gray-robed man about forty years old, he raised his hand, waved the two pheasants in his hand and said proudly

"We've got chicken to eat tonight!"

As he spoke, he threw away the chicken and sat down on the stone mill in the courtyard.

"You kid, I'm called old by you. ”

The gray-robed man picked up the chicken and walked towards the kitchen, muttering as he went.

"It's already old, and I don't let people say it. ”

The boy had a stick of grass in his mouth, and his legs bobbed back and forth on the millstone. With that, he stuck out his tongue at the gray-robed man and grimaced. Then I followed up with the kitchen to boil water.

"Tao Lao, I found that there seems to be something good hidden in the cave of the miscellaneous tiger on the north side of the mountain today, and I will go to explore it tomorrow and snatch it back for you to make medicine. ”

The young man said with a sly look on his face while burning the fire.

"Alas~ This daunting 100,000 mountains are about to be turned upside down by you, Ziang, when will you be able to do your part, how is the art of war that you watch?"

Tao Lao asked as he collected the pheasant in his hand.

When the young man named Li Ziang heard that he mentioned reading, he touched his nose with his hand, rolled his eyes, and said busily:

"Tao Lao, there is not enough firewood, I'll go and pick up some back. ”

After saying that, he ran away.

The gray-robed man looked at the back of the young man running out and sighed:

"Alas~Why is this girl more and more like a brat, alas~"

This gray-robed man is Li Ziang's master, Li Ziang only knows that he calls himself the Peach Blossom Fairy, and also asks Li Ziang to call him master, but Li Ziang has been called an old man since he was sensible. He had to sigh that the more this apprentice grew up, the more ignorant he became, and every time Li Ziang was a scoundrel.

Later, let's call him Tao Lao.

He told Li Ziang that he picked up Li Ziang in the waterhole next to him, and it was estimated that he rushed down from the waterfall.

Since he was a child, he taught Li Ziang to read medicinal materials, refine poison and make medicines, read and write. But Li Ziang didn't like these things, but liked some dancing knives and sticks. This Tao Lao's martial arts are already extremely high, and Li Ziang has been wandering in the mountains and forests since she was five or six years old, just because Tao Lao taught her the means to save her life and threw her into the mountains every once in a while.

At first, it took more than a month for Tao Lao to see Li Ziang who was covered in blood come back, and then it was more than half a month, seven or eight days, so that now he is in and out of his own home, and Li Ziang has almost turned 100,000 mountains over the years, and the fierce beasts that people are afraid of see her are walking around, and she is the king of a mountain alive.

During dinner, the gray-robed man looked at Li Ziang, who was choking rice, and put a piece of chicken in her bowl and said:

"Ziang, you... Would you like to go down the mountain and practice?"

Li Ziang put down his chopsticks violently when he heard this, jumped up from the stool at once, with a little rice sticking to his face, and said excitedly:

"Tao Lao, I heard me right, did you? You just agreed to let me go down the mountain?"

"Well, I used to take into account your young age, I was afraid that you would go down the mountain to cause trouble and be bullied, but now you are fifteen years old, and you have been stargazing for a long time last night, and now it is in troubled times, so I think it is good for you to go down the mountain and practice. ”

"Tao Lao, when am I going to go down the mountain?

Li Ziang's excited eyes lit up, and he looked at Tao Lao with anticipation.

Seeing that she was so excited, Tao Lao couldn't help coughing lightly and said:

"Outside the mountains is not as good as their own homes, people's hearts are sinister, and it is a troubled time, everything should be careful. You're still young, I'm afraid you..."

Hearing Tao Lao's words, Li Ziang was afraid that this matter would change, so he hurriedly interrupted:

"Oh, Tao Lao, you can rest assured, I am your apprentice and can I still be bullied? I went to pack my things. ”

After saying that, I hurriedly ran back to the house to pack my things.

Looking at Li Ziang's back, Tao Lao sighed in his heart:

"I don't know if it's right or wrong to let you go down the mountain this time, everything is fate, it depends on how you choose, the stars appear together, the wheel of fate begins to run, the destiny cannot be done, and there is nothing you can do as a teacher. Alas~"

Early the next morning, Li Ziang came out of the room and saw Tao Lao meditating under the eaves as usual, so he tidied up his clothes and gently walked over to meditate beside Tao Lao like him. No one spoke for a while, and after a while, I saw Tao Lao slowly pouring out his breath and opening his eyes.

Seeing this, Li Ziang lowered his eyes and said slowly:

"Tao Lao, you have to take care of yourself after I go down the mountain, don't be hungry, don't deal with it, don't be too tired from refining medicine, remember to cover the quilt at night and don't get cold. ”

As he spoke, his eyes turned red. She has lived with Tao Lao since she was a child, and it is said that the master and apprentice are more like father and daughter, and their feelings can be seen to be deep.

Tao Lao was also speechless for a while, this should have been what he said. I didn't know what to say when I looked at this disciple. I had to sigh, took out a small porcelain bottle from my arms and said:

"This is a poison-avoiding pill, there is a poisonous miasma on the periphery of the mountain, it doesn't hurt if you take it, and this is a mother stone, a total of two, even if something happens with it, at least you and I can know." ”

"Bah, this girl's martial arts skills are strong, how can there be any accidents, Tao Lao, you can rest assured. ”

After saying that, he silently took the pill, put the mother stone around his neck, and stuffed it into his collar.

Tao Lao stood up silently, his brows were slightly locked, his eyes seemed to look into the distance and seemed to say to himself:

"Everything in the world has a certain number, and being a teacher can only help you get here, you can do it yourself, remember, don't kill too much. You should keep this bag and don't open it until you have to. ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked back into the house, stood still in the door, waved his sleeves and sighed:

"Go ahead. ”

Li Ziang picked up the baggage, walked to the courtyard, looked deeply at Tao Lao's back, knelt down and kowtowed to him three times, and said:

"Master, take care. ”

He got up again, picked up his baggage, and went to the outside.

Tao Lao's eyes also turned red when he heard this, and he stiffened his body and looked back at Li Ziang's distant back for a long time, for a long time...
