It's late summer and early autumn, the wind has changed, the heat is slowly dissipating, and there is a little coolness in the morning and evening. The grass and trees in the world are gradually withering and yellowing, but the flowers in the valley are still the same, vividly interpreting what is called "four seasons like spring".

Xia Xue'er came here in mid-June, and it has been more than half a month in the blink of an eye, and her trip is to escort Uncle Rong back to the valley to recuperate. After months of imprisonment, his old man's ** and spirit have suffered unimaginable torture, just out of the prison, the nerves that have been tense have relaxed, and the whole person is extremely weak all of a sudden, looking like a dying person. Unable to delay for a moment, she took Xianglan to send people back to the valley overnight, fortunately, although the third uncle wanted to continue to travel the world, but he had not yet set off, with his wonderful hands to rejuvenate, coupled with the meticulous care and recuperation of the disciples in the valley, people were saved a life, and they were getting better and better.

How did Uncle Rong rescue, Mu Xuanlong still didn't mention a word to her, and she didn't have the curiosity of a cat. No matter what method was used, fortunately, the person was rescued in the end, and the promise to her was fulfilled, and she should have given him a gift, and it happened that the last time she saw him busy with things, she knew the answer.

There is a stream in the valley that goes east and west, along the stream to the upstream to seek, climb up a few layers of craggy strange stones, not long to see a pool of water, the pool is more than five feet deep, the water is as clear as a mirror, but therefore the pool is reflected in the green mountains and green trees, the sun can not be seen all the year round, the cold is strong, so there are basically no fish living in it, and it adds a bit of dead silence. Xia Xueer also found this unknown world by chance, but she felt that it was very quiet and had a special taste, so she often came here to sit when she had nothing to do, and the days when she was away from strife were always extra relaxed and comfortable.

I found a flat stone next to the deep pool, bent down and threw it in the direction almost close to the water surface, "plop~plop~plop~", and hit three beautiful water drifts in a row, ripples came out from the point, spread out layer by layer, until it disappeared, and finally returned to calm. Xia Xue'er patted the dirt on her hands, looked at her almost perfect "results", and the corners of her mouth slightly outlined a knowing smile.

"Rustle"

Suddenly heard a strange sound, if this sound was in other places, it could be said that it was so subtle that it almost didn't attract any attention, but in this silent space, it was particularly harsh, Xia Xue'er turned her head vigilantly, looked around, but did not see any abnormal movement, and the sound was gone, but she always felt that there were a pair of eyes behind her watching her every move, and she was extremely panicked!

I heard a rustling sound again, more powerful than before, but a little different, this time more like the sound of my body rubbing against the leaves. Because her nerves were in a state of high alertness, she picked up a stone and threw it at the sound, but she heard a cry of "ah", the voice was very familiar, it seemed to come from Xianglan's voice. Only then did his nerves relax and he rushed over to check.

If it's just an ordinary stone, it's just that this stone has its own thirty percent of its own power, and throwing it out is already comparable to a dart, not to mention that in the case of Xianglan's inadvertence, although she turned around quickly and dodged, the stone was still close to her cheek, inevitably rubbing off a layer of skin and flesh, almost exposing her cheekbones.

Looking at the cheeks that were constantly oozing blood beads, Xia Xue'er still had the heart to care about the eyes staring at her behind her, and directly pulled Xianglan's hand and went back.

In the medicine pavilion full of bottles and jars, Xianglan easily found the medicine powder to stop bleeding, and applied medicine to the bronze mirror, and then said: "Madame sent a letter, saying that the old lady is going to hold a banquet in three days, please go back." ”

Seeing that it is already the end of June, the fifteenth day of the next month is the Midyear Festival, precisely because the Midyear Festival is also known as the Ghost Festival, it is the day when the ghosts of the world go to the underworld to be reincarnated, and it is also the day when the ghosts of the underworld go home to visit their relatives, so people think that July is the most powerful month of the year, and everything needs to be more than three points of caution, not to mention the big event that requires the right time and place for a banquet! The old lady was able to decide in such a hurry, and she rushed to the tail of June, presumably for some purpose.

On the second day, Xia Xue'er just had breakfast and went into the study to carefully study the mental formula given to her by Shizun, and suddenly heard the sound of "knock knock~" someone knocked on the door, frowned slightly, and did not raise her head but called "Come in." Then the door was gently pushed open, and a young man in a white dress appeared at the door, saluted her respectfully, and then said: "Senior sister, a Taoist priest just came and said that he wanted to see you, and said that he would meet you after seeing this thing." ”

When Xia Xue'er heard this, she raised her eyes suspiciously, and saw that the little junior brother was holding a narrow jade with the size of a little finger in his hand, but she was even more confused.

"Did he really say that?" Xia Xue'er asked the disciple who came to pass on it with a suspicious face, she had never seen this jade, and she didn't know any Taoist priest, how could she say that she understood after seeing it?

"That's true."

Hearing this, she thought that she had missed some detail, after all, the jade was very small, far away, and it was normal to not see it really. So he got up and went over, picked up the jade and was ready to take a look, but as soon as it reached the palm of his hand, there was a burning pain, and he hurriedly threw the thing in his hand out under the conditioned reflex.

The disciple was also frightened by the scene in front of him, and he didn't understand why the senior sister had just taken it and lost the token, and he was a little confused for a while, and he only looked at her in a daze. Xia Xue'er was a little frightened, she was too familiar with that feeling, and even the scar on her chest was a little painful!

After reminiscing, I realized that a layer of fine sweat had broken out of my palms, and I coughed dryly twice, and then I found my voice again.

"Where's the person?"

"Oh!" Hearing this, the disciple also came back to his senses, and then said: "On the square outside the main hall, the disciple invited him to wait in the living room, but he didn't go, saying that it was the Taoist ......."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Xue'er jumped past him like a wind, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. He was left stunned and stunned in place, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this senior sister who has not been in the valley all the year round has acted in a hurry, and she has a dual attitude, and she is really a magical woman!

Xia Xue'er was anxious to meet this mysterious Taoist priest, but when she arrived next to the main hall, she no longer dared to step forward.

From a distance, I saw a man in a gray Taoist robe standing under the third white jade stone table with his back on his back, his body was six feet tall, but he was skinny, and the wide Taoist robe did not fit, more like it was supported by a bamboo pole, empty. It had just rained outside, but there was not the slightest mud stain on the uppers of his shoes.

As if sensing Xia Xue'er's approach, the Taoist priest turned around and looked at the corner where she was like a torch.
