On the second day of the second month of February, the dragon raised its head.

The sky was gray, there were a few early spring light rains, the air was flowing with the fragrance of moist earth, the weather was slightly warmer, and there were shallow words on the avenue on the west side of Tanzhe Mountain.

"He was like this when he was young, as soon as he went out, it would rain and snow, and as the old saying goes, those who go out and meet the water are nobles. ”

Yu Xiaoling coaxed Brother Peng to sleep for a while, put the little guy on the small couch covered with a big red mattress, got up and looked at the rain outside, jumped out of the carriage, and said to Xu Pan with a smile.

Xu Pan said yes, moved to the side of the cypress tree and stood down, the drizzle only slightly wiped his face, he looked the way he came, and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Look, are they coming?"

Yu Xiaoling hurriedly turned around and looked back, only to see a blurred figure gradually coming in the misty rain and fog.

Yu Xiaoling took a few steps forward to take a closer look, and the figure became clearer and clearer in the rain and fog: it was the two of them who led the two white horses and walked slowly.

"It's Qingtan!" Yu Xiaoling said this, and hurriedly raised his hand and shook it there.

From afar, Qingtan saw this strange and familiar figure, and his eyes couldn't help but overflow with a little smile, in the empty rain and mist, it was more refreshing than the tender green in early spring.

Fu He on the side also smiled and reminded softly: "The horses are almost exhausted, so the mage should take less things." ”

The two white horses behind him had already gained a lot of things from the people down the mountain when they just went down the mountain, and at this moment they seemed to hear Fu He's words, and they made a humming sound from their noses.

Qingtan's smile became even stronger, and he said softly, "Do your best." ”

With that, the steps leading the horse were a little brisker.

Xu Pan held up an oil-paper umbrella for Yu Xiaoling, and accompanied her forward to the thicker tree in front of her.

"It's going to rain as soon as you go out, but fortunately, the rain is about to stop, so it won't delay your journey. Yu Xiaoling said.

While she was talking, Qingtan handed the horse to Fu He and walked over with her feet raised.

The old friend of the past few years, there is no need to say too much greetings, he recited the Buddha in a low voice, and said: "About yesterday, the saint said that it had not rained for nearly half a month, and I went back to the mountain, and I recited the "Great Cloud Wheel Invitation to Rain Sutra" again, so it rained today. ”

Yu Xiaoling smiled when he heard this, and after laughing, a look of worry appeared in his eyes: "The mage has benefited the people, but it has hurt you." ”

Qingtan recited the Buddha again, raised his eyes to look at her clear eyes, paused for a moment, and said, "This is what my heart wants." ”

Yu Xiaoling pursed her lips, only looked at Qingtan, and only sighed for a while.

Xu Pan whispered in Xiao Ling's ear and reminded her, "I'll go and bring all the shoes I made for the mage." ”

Yu Xiaoling hurriedly said okay, Xu Pan turned around to get it, Qingtan saw him leave without hesitation, and there was a hint of comfort in his eyes.

Not guessing or doubting is the way to stay for a long time.

He nodded in his heart, and was about to say something when he heard the cry of a baby in the carriage beside him. Yu Xiaoling raised her eyebrows, and couldn't help but sigh, and the cry over there became louder.

Yu Xiaoling couldn't help but shake her head and smile, she turned around and ordered someone to take Brother Peng out, and said to Qingtan: "Maybe my little boy also knows that the mage is coming, and he wants to meet the mage!"

Qingtan bowed slightly, "I have something to give him." ”

"Huh, what?"

Yu Xiaoling asked, Qingtan smiled silently.

Yu Xiaoling tilted his head to look at him, but when he heard the cry behind him, he didn't care about Qingtan anymore, so he quickly turned around and took two steps behind him, and took Brother Peng from Xu Pan's arms.

As soon as she stretched out her hand, Brother Peng immediately stopped crying, pouted and looked at Yu Xiaoling twice, and grinned again, revealing her red and tender gums.

Yu Xiaoling couldn't help but be surprised, and turned back to Qingtan and said, "This kid won't inherit my spiritual power, you see how old he is, he knows everything!"

Qingtan didn't say anything, stepped forward, looked at the little baby, and saw that he was also looking at himself with black and white eyes, and there was a soft feeling in his heart.

"You just said that you want to give him something, take it out and show it to our brother Peng. ”

Qingtan smiled slightly, didn't take out anything, just raised his right hand and put it on the top of Peng Ge'er's head.

Yu Xiaoling was slightly surprised, thinking that he was going to teach Peng Ge'er, but he saw that he lowered his voice very softly and recited a few breaths of Buddhist scriptures.

This scripture has also been heard by Xiao Ling before, and it is to remove the obstacles of the past life and pray for peace in this life. Yu Xiaoling listened to the Buddhist scriptures and slowly crossed out of Qingtan's mouth, and there was reluctance in his heart.

She didn't know what to say, Qingtan withdrew the hand placed on top of Peng Ge'er's head, and said softly, "It's time to go." ”

yes, it's time to go.

The misty drizzle gradually stopped, and the breeze was full of the crisp and pleasant spring day. Qing Tan picked up a wooden box with a faint medicinal fragrance from the bag on the white horse's back and handed it to Yu Xiaoling.

"I don't have any spiritual power now, so you don't have to bother doing this. Yu Xiaoling took the box and said to Qingtan.

Qingtan just wanted to nod, only to hear the sound of messy footsteps coming from far and near in the woods behind him.

Xu Pan also heard it on the side, walked over a few steps, and asked into the woods, "Who is it?"

In a few moments, a man emerged from the woods. He was ragged and covered with dirt, and when he looked closely, he was a man in his mid-twenties. He saw Qingtan at a glance, and trotted towards Qingtan, but after a few steps, he tripped over the protruding tree roots and stumbled into the mud on the ground.

This fall, the man was even more dirty, but he raised his face, showed a begging expression, and opened his mouth to say, "Master Qingtan, save me!"

Qingtan was stunned for a moment and walked forward.

He looked down at the man, and although he didn't know the face, he had a familiar feeling in him.

The man's body trembled slightly, his face suppressed the pain, and he said in a trembling voice, "Do you remember the mage...... The year before last, at the foot of Huashan...... That goose!"

When Qingtan heard this, his body shook, he first paused, then suddenly turned around, looked at the wooden box in Yu Xiaoling's hand, and said, "Take out a bottle of Gui'an Pill and Qingfeng Dew." ”

Yu Xiaoling was stunned when she said this, she looked at Qingtan, and then went to see the person, as if she suddenly understood something, and hurriedly opened the wooden box to turn over the medicine bottle......

The sun rose, the refreshing wind blew away the mist on the avenue, and under the light sunlight, Yu Xiaoling looked at the three figures walking west, still surprised in his heart.

It wasn't until she watched those figures gradually disappear in her field of vision that she turned around, looked at Xu Pan and suddenly smiled, and said softly: "It turns out that I am really not the only one in this world...... With this person with him, maybe the mage will be back in a few years!"
