Chapter 17 Taoyuan Snow Mountain

What Su Yunjiao didn't know was that the sixth brother Su Xun she was thinking about was not in the capital at this time, but on a snow-capped mountain near the far north. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The name of the mountain is called Lonely Snow Mountain, because of the remoteness of the terrain and the inaccessibility of people, it is that few outsiders know about this place, and even Mr. Cheng, who claims to have traveled all the famous mountains and rivers in the world, has never heard of it. But if he knew that there was such a snow-capped mountain in the world, he would have come to see it anyway.

Why, some people ask? Naturally, it's because the scenery on this mountain is really rare. Outsiders don't know it, but the people who live in the neighborhood do. The place where the Lonely Snow Mountain is located, close to the far north, unlike other places with four distinct seasons, is cold like winter all year round, and there are almost no other plants except green pines and silver cedars.

But at the foot of the Lonely Snow Mountain, it is different, where it is warm like spring, there are many flowers and plants, and there is also a peach forest that stretches for miles, which makes people feel the miracle of the creator, and actually creates an oasis in the ice and snow. There are also rumors that the peach forest at the foot of this mountain is nothing, and there is a peach forest above the snow-capped mountain, and the flowers there bloom better than those under the mountain, and the flowers there are really in full bloom in the ice and snow.

Although this rumor has a nose and an eye, there are very few believers, and some people have wanted to go up to see it, but the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and even if someone goes up, they will be blocked back by the misty forest on the mountainside, because no one has seen the peach blossoms blooming in the snow with their own eyes. But even if no one has seen it, you might as well have another nickname of "Taoyuan Snow Mountain".

In fact, the ice and snow peach blossom is not really unseen, such as the old man who spread rumors many years ago, such as a middle-aged hunter living in a village at the foot of the mountain, and the handsome boy who has become famous in the rivers and lakes, they have all seen it, and now there is another person.

"Sure enough, it lives up to the name of Taoyuan Snow Mountain. Su Xun looked at the scarlet peach blossoms in front of him that reflected the snow and exclaimed.

In response to him, there was a "snap" sound. That's right, he was playing chess with people, playing chess with people in the legendary ice and snow peach forest on the top of the lonely snow mountain.

Su Xun turned his head, his eyes fell on the chessboard, and after a long period of silence, he twisted out a black jade chess piece from the chess box on the side, slowly landed on the chessboard, and then moved his gaze to the person sitting opposite him and playing chess with him.

The man was dressed in white like snow, and his hair was untied, allowing his waist-length black hair to be scattered at will, exuding a cold aura like ice and snow, which was difficult for ordinary people to approach. Looking at that person's appearance again, he is as rich as jade, elegant and handsome, which is rare in the world.

The man saw that Su Xun's chess pieces were settled, and picked up a white jade chess piece, and did not hesitate, he went straight to the chessboard, his fingers were slender and white, and the white jade chess pieces were sandwiched between his fingers, and he couldn't tell them apart for a while.

Su Xun smiled and spoke to him: "The situation in the DPRK and China is very good, the Holy Lord is a Ming Jun, and he is assisted by the king and the prime minister, as well as many adults with both ability and political integrity. ”

Without saying a word, the man dropped the chess piece in his hand.

Su Xun didn't care at all, just played chess, and said with a smile: "The situation on the border is also very good, southern Xinjiang has long been out of climate, and there is an uncle and grandfather's family guarding there, and I am afraid that there will be no more names of the eighteen clans of the Southern Barbarians in the near future." Beimu is still alive and well, the battle of that year, it was difficult for them to recover their qi in fifty years, and they only came to the border every winter to make a small fight, but there was Weijia Town outside the Iron Gate, and they wanted to point to the land of Tianqi. ”

The man's expression was calm, as if nothing in heaven and earth had anything to do with him.

"It's a pity that Zhen Guogong died a year ago due to his old injuries. Su Xun sighed lightly, a little regretful, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "But Zhenguo Gong has a good son, I think he will not live up to the reputation of Zhenguo Gong." ”

The man moved his eyes and looked at Su Xun.

Su Xun met his cold and detached eyes and said with a smile: "His name is Wei Qingjue, I helped him on Jiangnan Road, and I am looking forward to meeting him." ”

The man withdrew his gaze, eyes lowered.

Su Xun didn't continue to talk about those national events, but only picked up some short things in the parents and told him: "The Queen Mother misses you very much, and my mother misses you too. ”

The man finally spoke, and even his voice was as cold as ice and snow: "Little Eleven is still so childish, are they all okay?"

"It's all good. Su Xun smiled even deeper.

"That's fine. "They're all good, just fine.

Seeing that he didn't mean to continue talking, Su Xun said again, "Why don't you ask me if my master is okay?"

The man was silent for a while, but still spoke: "Lin Xuanqing is such a smart person, how can it be bad." He's there, Gangnam. ”

There was no doubt in his tone, as if he had already known the answer, Su Xun smiled: "You really know things like a god." Master resigned five years ago, and now lives in seclusion in Jiangnan and works as a teacher. ”

"He's said it before. The man said, and looked at the wine on the side again, "This 'Jiang Nanchun' was brought by him." ”

Su Xun nodded and said, "Master said, you are already in seclusion, it is not good to drink strong wine like 'Thousand Miles Drunk', this 'Jiangnan Spring' is suitable for your current state of mind." ”

"Heh, it's not for me. ”

The man's unclear words made Su Xun's eyes move slightly, and he glanced at the mirror lake not far away, intentionally or unintentionally, and then said with a smile: "Master's words, I can't help but listen to my apprentice." Anyway, this wine is for the Lonely Snow Mountain. ”

The man turned his gaze to the chessboard again, and said no more, as if he didn't want to pay any more attention to him.

The two of them went back and forth a few times, and gradually entered the end of the chess game.

After the man dropped another chess piece, Su Xun looked at the sunspot who was killed a little miserably on the chessboard, and Touzi admitted defeat: "I lost, but you are still powerful." ”

"In five years, you come again. ”

"Oh?" Su Xun smiled, "You won't lose in another five years?"

"It's not going to be so miserable. The man spoke lightly.

"Huh. Su Xun smiled and replied: "The wine has also been delivered, the words have also been brought, and the chess game has been played, and I should go back." Don't you have anything to say to me to bring them? ”

Hearing him call "Uncle Cousin", the ice and snow in the man's eyes melted slightly, and there was a hidden warmth overflowing, and after a moment of silence, Fang said: "Tell them that I'm fine." ”

"Uncle Cousin, don't worry, I will bring your words, and my mother will be happy when they hear it. Su Xun smiled and said solemnly.

The man bowed slightly, signaling that he could leave.

Then the nephew took his leave. After Su Xun saluted, before leaving, he looked at the mirror lake again and said with a smile: "That senior should be in a hurry." ”

Not long after Su Xun left, ripples suddenly appeared on the calm and waveless mirror lake, and a flat boat slowly sailed towards the shore. The boat seemed to be slow, but in fact it was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye it had reached the shore, and the figure lying on the boat was even faster, and before he could see how he moved, he had already appeared on the side of the chess player in the pavilion.

The man who came up from the boat, dressed in a cyan Taoist robe and holding a whisk in his hand, was a Taoist priest. This person, as soon as he got ashore, went straight to the chess pavilion, not for the people in the pavilion, but for the wine in the pavilion: "Oh, yes, it's a little bit of a starvation." 'Jiang Nanchun' 'Jiang Nanchun' Xiaodao's favorite 'Jiang Nanchun', that kid really hates playing a game of chess for so long, and he can't play you, won't it be over if he just admits defeat? ”

The man took a moment to pick up the chess pieces and glanced at the man.

"Eh, let's not say he hates it. The man hurriedly admitted his mistake, "Jingjing, don't be angry." It's really been so many years since I retired, and I still can't let go of it like this, and I protect my shortcomings like this. ”

"There are some things I don't want to let go. The man continued to pack up the pieces.

"Yes, yes. The man uncorked the bottle and took a big sip, "If you are willing to let go, I will have abducted you into the Tao long ago, and it will save me a lonely life in this world." Hey, whether it's you, Lin Xuanqing, or that kid just now, they're all good seedlings of cultivation, why don't you just refuse to follow me into the Tao?"

"To each his own needs. The man said lightly, "If you really want to find it, you might as well try Tianshui, he doesn't have much to do with it." ”

"Xiao Tianshui, doesn't he still have his Xishu royal family, and a sister? ”

"Tianshui doesn't have much affection for them. The man said, "As for me, I have severed my master-apprenticeship relationship with him, and it is good that he does not come to kill me." ”

"Poof" The Dao man squirted out a mouthful of wine, and said slowly, "You tell him, his life experience, and cut off the master-apprentice relationship, you really plan to stay alone in this lonely snow mountain until death!"

"Sooner or later, I'm going to tell him. The man said unexpectedly, "The scenery of this lonely snow-capped mountain is unique, and I am not lonely here." Besides, don't you still have friends? I can't stay with you for a long time, but I can still afford to be with you for more than 100 years. ”

A warmth swelled up in that Dao's heart, but he said: "I'm afraid of your loneliness, don't say it as if I'm afraid of loneliness." Jingjing, don't worry, with me, I won't let you alone. ”

The corner of the man's mouth seemed to be hooked, and he said, "Oh, then thank you friends." ”

"Having said that, that kid is obviously Lin Xuanqing's apprentice, but his temperament is like you, and he is very short-sighted. ”

"He's the son of Yutai, naturally like me, who is he protecting?" the man asked.

"That kid has no wife and no children in his life, of course, he is a relative who protects him like you, especially his sister, who is simply spoiled. The man smiled, "The last time I saw him, I just said a few bad things about his sister, and he said a favor, you know, a cultivator like me is most afraid of owing favors." ”

"Oh, why do you owe him a favor?" the man was intrigued by him.

"Speaking of fate, I happened to need something, and it happened to be in his hands, I wanted to barter, who thought that kid just wouldn't. The man gritted his teeth and said, "I said that I want to send it, and it would be good if I really want to send it, but I finally added a sentence, if the seniors don't go, they should only owe me a favor, the seniors are masters in the world, and they must not take advantage of the kid." I had to smile and agree. ”

"Not bad. The man praised, "Know how to do the least to get the most out of it." ”

"Jun Shujing, what do you mean?" said the man angrily.

"Naturally, I praise my friend, you have great powers. ”

The man glanced at him and said, "Forget it, I don't care about you." ”

The man asked, "Are you going down in a few days?"

"What?" said the man with a raised eyebrow, "what do you want me to do?"

"If you are passing by Jiangnan, buy me a car of 'Thousand Miles Drunk' and give it to Lin Xuanqing. ”

The man asked, "Can he drink the wine?"

"Courtesy is still exchanged. The man replied lightly, "He gave me his favorite 'Jiangnan Chun', and I want to return his favorite 'Thousand Miles Drunk'." ”

After hearing this, the Taoist secretly slandered: "It's clear that he sent you what you don't love, and you have to return the respect." He replied, "Write it down, write it down, is there anything else?"

The man thought for a while, and took out a crystal clear jade pendant from his sleeve: "Help me give this to Yutai's daughter, she has two brothers, and she can't be missing." ”

The Taoist took the jade pendant and said, "You just remember them!" and continued to drink, saying no more.
