The place where Tang Xiaosheng retreated was on an unnamed mountain peak about 200 kilometers north of Baiyang Village. The mountain peak is about 2,200 meters above sea level, and the strange peaks in the mountain converge, the north side is a thousand cliffs, rising from the sky, and the south side is covered with lush green and tall green pines, forming a natural barrier. In the daytime, the misty white smoke clouds linger and diffuse among the green pines of the peaks and ravines, which makes people can't help but think that they are in a fairyland.

What's more special is that on top of the mountain peak, there is a natural lake, the water of the lake is clear and turquoise, like a turquoise jade, covering the rolling green hills, and in the center of the lake, there is a small island scattered like a pearl.

And this small island in the center of the lake is the place where Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu, Wang Yuyan, Ren Yingying, Zixia, Gan Nineteen Mei and more than a dozen people retreated.

Xiaolongnu, Zixia, Bai Xiaoxiao, Bai Jingjing and others spent two whole months searching the mountains within a radius of hundreds of kilometers in Baiyang Village before they found this suitable mountain peak for seclusion.

The mountain is surrounded by mountains for hundreds of kilometers, and there are no villages nearby. At the same time, the north side of the mountain peak is a cliff, which cannot be climbed at all, and in the green pine forest to the south, a huge Five Elements Bagua Array has been placed by Zixia, which ordinary people cannot enter at all.

In this way, no one can disturb Tang Xiaosheng and the others on the small island hidden in the middle of the mountain peaks, unless someone descends from the sky in a helicopter.

Since returning to seclusion here on February 24, Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu, Gan Shijiumei and others have been living here for six days, and if nothing else, they may live here for nearly a hundred years.

This mountain peak is relatively remote due to its location, therefore. And there is no name. Zhao Min thought about it and directly named this mountain peak "Guangming Peak". The reason why she chose this name was that she hoped that after Tang Xiaosheng heard this familiar name, he could awaken Zhang Wuji's soul in his body as soon as possible.

After Zhao Min named this mountain peak "Guangming Peak", Dongfang Undefeated and Ren Yingying named this natural lake located at the top of the mountain peak "Xiaoao Jianghu" to commemorate the days with Ling Hu Chong.

Seeing Zhao Min naming the peak, Dongfang Undefeated and Ren Yingying naming the natural lake, Xiao Huang Rong thought it was very interesting, so she solemnly announced. This small circular island in the center of the natural lake is called "Peach Blossom Island".

Although Xiao Huang Rong named the island "Peach Blossom Island". But there are no peach blossoms on the island, but a lot of camellias. Before returning to seclusion, Wang Yuyan specially bought a lot of camellia seeds and prepared to plant them on the island. Wang Yuyan grew up in Mantuo Villa. There are a variety of camellias planted in the villa. Meantime. Duan Yu met Wang Yuyan when he was caught planting camellia in Mantuo Villa, and Wang Yuyan had a soft spot for camellias.

In order to commemorate the good memories of Duan Yu's first encounter. In order to awaken Duan Yu in Tang Xiaosheng's body as soon as possible, Wang Yuyan planted a lot of camellia on the island, some red, some white, and the whole island was colorful, like a big garden.

At the same time, Wang Yuyan also gave the garden on the island a name, called "Mantuo Villa".

Seeing that all the beauties had given this place of retreat a commemorative name, Zixia and Bai Jingjing were not idle, and their master and apprentice used a spell to move a huge rock weighing a million catties on the top of the mountain to the flowers of the island, and split a three-bedroom cave in the middle of the boulder. At the same time, Zixia called this split cave "Pansi Cave".

And this Pansi Cave has also become a place where everyone usually lives.

Therefore, the place where Tang Xiaosheng is now retreating is the "Pansi Cave" in the "Mantuo Villa" on the "Peach Blossom Island" in the center of the "Xiaoao Jianghu" on the "Guangming Peak".

Although the name is a bit complicated, it may only be a temporary residence. Xiaolongnu has already expressed her position, she is going to dig an ancient tomb on Peach Blossom Island, and if everyone dies in the future, they will be buried in the ancient tomb.

However, Xiaolongnu's plan may be difficult to realize. Because since returning to seclusion here, everyone has begun to devote themselves to cultivating immortal arts, although they may not be able to live forever, but it is definitely no problem to prolong life.

Cultivating immortal arts is not an easy task, however, this thorny problem has been basically solved.

Because Bai Xiaoxiao, Xiaolongnu, Ren Yingying, Wang Yuyan, Xiao Zhao, Zhao Min, Dongfang Undefeated, Guo Xiang, Bai Jingjing and other ten people can communicate with each other and reach the realm of ten people with one heart. When their souls were connected into one, as long as Bai Xiaoxiao or Bai Jingjing carried out soul cultivation, the other eight people would also passively cultivate. In this way, it greatly reduced the difficulty of Xiaolongnu, Ren Yingying, Wang Yuyan, Xiao Zhao and others practicing immortal arts.

In fact, they almost didn't have to do anything, as long as they kept their soul connected with Bai Xiaoxiao and Bai Jingjing, they would be in a state of cultivation.

Among the crowd, there were only two people who could not cultivate on their own, one was Xiao Huang Rong, and the other was Gan Nineteen Sisters, both of whom needed the assistance of others. Among them, Xiao Huang Rong was assisted by Qingxia in her cultivation, and Gan Nineteen Mei was in charge of Zixia's cultivation.

As for Tang Xiaosheng, he didn't cultivate, not because he didn't know how to cultivate, but because he had a more important thing to do, and that was to take care of his daughter Tang Xiaoyu.

Dongfang is undefeated and lives in seclusion here, and Tang Xiaoyu naturally wants to live here. Tang Xiaoyu is still less than two years old now, and he urgently needs someone to take care of him, Dongfang is undefeated to practice immortal arts, Tang Xiaosheng has to stay and take care of Tang Xiaoyu.

As a result, Tang Xiaosheng's dozen or so lovers all lived together in the "Pansi Cave" to cultivate immortals, but he himself became a wet nurse. However, for him, taking care of his daughter Tang Xiaoyu is a very interesting and happy thing.

Although Tang Xiaoyu is less than two years old, he is already very capable, not only can he speak fluently, but he is also very neat under his feet, and he usually likes to run and jump around. According to this trend, when the little girl grows up in the future, it is estimated that she will be very good at light work, and I am afraid that she will not be under the undefeated of her mother Dongfang.

However, whenever he saw Tang Xiaoyu trotting all the way on Peach Blossom Island with open crotch pants and calves, Tang Xiaosheng was always frightened, for fear that she would fall. Although this kind of thing has hardly happened. In order to prevent her from being injured, Tang Xiaosheng passed on the True Qi of the Northern Darkness in her body for ten years to protect her petite body.

One or two-year-old children are cultivating children's curiosity, so Tang Xiaosheng often takes Tang Xiaoyu to the mountains near the "Guangming Peak" to play, which opens her eyes. Occasionally, Tang Xiaosheng will perform "Seventy-two Changes", conjuring up all kinds of animals or characters or toys, and Tang Xiaoyu is always stunned by his father's magical performances.

On this day, everyone else was cultivating in the Pansi Cave. Tang Xiaosheng continued to take care of Tang Xiaoyu. He and Tang Xiaoyu are one big and one small. Sitting side by side in the flower-filled Mantuo Villa, father and daughter watched cartoons on their laptops called "Cat and Mouse" with great relish.

"Hee-hee!"

When the cartoon wind was seen for more than two minutes, Tang Xiaoyu grinned. Suddenly he laughed. Raise your little head. said to Tang Xiaosheng in a milky and immature voice, "Dad...... That cat is good...... How stupid! ”

Tang Xiaosheng smiled slightly and gently caressed his daughter's head. It seems that the little girl is quite smart, and now she can understand the plot in the cartoon.

"Huh?"

Although Tang Xiaoyu was watching the animation, her feelings were still very keen, and at this time, she found that a woman in white walked out of the Pansi Cave, the bell-like Xiao Qiong's nose moved, her little finger pointed, and she said in a childish voice with a little excitement, "Dad, Gan...... Aunt Gan is out! ”

Hearing what she said, Tang Xiaosheng turned his head to take a look, only to find that it was Gan Nineteen Sister who came out of the cave, it seems that she should have finished her cultivation.

"Aunt Gan!" Tang Xiaoyu saw Gan Nineteen Sister coming, and couldn't help but open her pink little hands.

"Well, Yu'er, Auntie hug!" Gan Nineteen Mei stepped forward lightly, held Tang Xiaoyu in her arms, and then sat next to Tang Xiaosheng.

Tang Xiaoyu should be the happiest person here, because whether it is Dongfang Undefeated, Gan Nineteen Sisters, Xiaolongnu, or Wang Yuyan, Zixia, Ren Yingying and others, they love her very much, and they all treat her as their own daughter. And Tang Xiaoyu is very close to everyone, and on weekdays, he wants to hug everyone he sees.

Although Gan Nineteen Sister has been in love, she has never given birth to children, and after seeing the lively and lovely Tang Xiaoyu, she also likes it very much. When she sat down with Tang Xiaoyu in her arms, and when the afterglow swept to Tang Xiaosheng beside her, she couldn't help but feel a little reverie in her heart.

She, Tang Xiaosheng, Tang Xiaoyu, a man, a woman and a child, how much does this meeting look like a couple!

Gan Nineteen Sister had a special feeling for Tang Xiaosheng from the first time she saw her. It's just that Tang Xiaosheng said that he was not Yin Jianping, and Gan Nineteen Sister couldn't say anything. It's just that you can say nothing on your lips, but the feeling in your heart is uncontrollable. Now sitting next to Tang Xiaosheng, she still has a feeling of heartbeat.

Tang Xiaosheng also heard Xiaolongnu say that Gan Nineteen Sister had a good impression of him. And Gan Nineteen Sister used the body of a little girl, how could he be indifferent? However, he really doesn't have Yin Jianping's soul in his body, so these things can only be buried in his heart.

So, although they both had their own thoughts about each other, they didn't say anything, just sat quietly.

Of course, being able to sit quietly together is a blessing in itself.

Among all the people who live in seclusion here, Gan Nineteen Mei is undoubtedly a special one, because apart from her, the other women are basically Tang Xiaosheng's lovers. In this way, if the relationship is not handled properly, Gan Nineteen Mei is easy to be isolated and reduced to an outsider.

After being silent for a moment, Tang Xiaosheng asked, "Miss Gan, will your cultivation be hard in the past few days?" If you feel that it is hard, you can slow down your cultivation and don't rush for a while, anyway, we have time. ”

"Well, I know. However, with the guidance of the Zixia Fairy, it is very easy to cultivate, and it is not hard at all. Gan Nineteen Sister said, "Not only is it not hard, but I feel that after these few days of cultivation, my spirit is much better than before." ”

Tang Xiaosheng nodded: "This is the best." If you feel uncomfortable in something, don't be polite, just say it. We need to live until 2112 to be able to get the Moonlight Treasure Box, and we will have to wait for almost a hundred years, such a long wait, we need to live in a relaxed way, otherwise, it will be too difficult. ”

Gan Nineteen Sister said: "Don't worry, Brother Tang, I feel very comfortable living with you, and there is nothing uncomfortable." Actually, as long as you can wait until the day when you reunite with Jianping. I don't care if it lasts a long time. ”

Tang Xiaosheng's heart moved slightly, it seems that Gan Nineteen Sister is really affectionate to Yin Jianping.

After being silent for a while, Gan Nineteen Mei seemed to remember something, and asked again: "Brother Tang, after finding the Moonlight Treasure Box in 2112, if I want to send my soul back to the time and space of "Gan Nineteen Sisters", then will my soul be separated from the soul of another girl in my body first?" ”

"Yes!"

Gan Nineteen Mei now has two souls in her body, one is Gan Nineteen Sister, and the other is a little girl. In the future, after getting the moonlight treasure box, in order to separate their two souls. You need to refine the little girl's soul into a soul pill first. Separated, and then send Gan Nineteen Mei's soul back to the original time and space.

Hearing this, Gan Nineteen Mei frowned slightly, and asked with concern: "The soul of this nameless girl in my body has been refined into a soul pill. Wouldn't you lose consciousness? Do so. It is tantamount to erasing her life. Isn't it a little too unfair to her? ”

Tang Xiaosheng comforted: "Don't worry, after being refined into a soul pill, there is still a chance to be awakened again." Although the method of awakening is not yet clear. But in the next hundred years, I will study it carefully, because I have eight souls in my body that have been refined into soul pills. ”

After a pause, he turned to ask, "Miss Gan, I just heard you say that the girl in your body is called 'Nameless Girl', don't you know her name?" ”

Gan Nineteen Mei shook her head: "I don't know what to do." When I crossed into the girl's body, I fused some of her memories with memories, but I didn't know what her name was. Because she didn't know her name or who she was, she called herself 'Unknown Girl'. ”

Tang Xiaosheng further asked: "How did the nameless girl grow up, and what has she experienced over the years?" ”

Gan Nineteen Mei said truthfully: "The nameless girl's memories before the age of twelve are almost all lost, and she doesn't remember anything, her earliest memory is from the age of twelve. As she did not know who she was, she was homeless and became an orphan, and from the age of twelve, she became a homeless wanderer. At first, I met a few well-wishers and gave her some money. Later, in order to support herself, she learned to play the guitar and began to wander while singing, becoming a wandering singer. She has lived such a wandering life for more than ten years, wandering from the south to the north, and then from the north to the south, and she has almost walked all over the country in 31 provinces and municipalities. It wasn't until early 2016, when my soul became attached to her, that I stopped living this life as a wandering singer. ”

Tang Xiaosheng was slightly stunned, he couldn't imagine that the little girl had been living a wandering life all these years, so he slowed down and asked, "Her life should be very hard, right?" ”

"No, on the contrary, she is very comfortable." Gan Shijiumei explained, "Her luck seems to be very good, she has never encountered any difficulties in the days of wandering, and everything has gone very smoothly for more than ten years." Her wandering life is basically equivalent to traveling, not only worry-free about food and clothing, but also the beautiful scenery of the whole country. ”

Hearing this, Tang Xiaosheng was a little relieved.

The two continued to chat, talking about the experience of the little girl to the experience of Gan Nineteen Sisters, and before they knew it, the sky gradually darkened, it was already dusk, and night was about to fall.

"Daddy!"

At this time, I suddenly heard a childish voice, and it turned out to be Xiao Huang Rong running out of the Pansi Cave. She followed Qingxia to learn to cultivate immortal arts today, and she studied for a whole day. A few days ago, Xiao Huang Rong originally didn't want to learn immortal arts. Because when cultivating, she requires calmness, and Xiao Huang Rong is more playful, and she can't calm down together, so she naturally feels that immortal magic is not fun.

It wasn't until later, after Xiao Huang Rong learned that she would be able to fly in the air after cultivating immortals, that she secretly made up her mind and devoted herself to cultivation with Qingxia. After a day of cultivation, Xiao Huang Rong was already hungry at this time, touched her belly with her little hand, and motioned to Tang Xiaosheng, "Daddy, I'm hungry." ”

When an immortal cultivator reaches a certain realm, he can hardly skip eating. It's just that Xiao Huang Rong, Gan Nineteen Sister, Xiao Longnu and others have just started, and now they have to eat at least one or two meals a day. Of course, as their cultivation deepened, the amount of food they needed would become less and less.

Hearing Xiao Huang Rong say that she was hungry, Tang Xiaosheng got up to cook for her. After Xiaolongnu, Wang Yuyan, Zhao Min and the others finished cultivating for a while, they also needed to eat.

And after seeing Xiao Huang Rong appear, Tang Xiaoyu's eyes in Gan Nineteen Sister's arms suddenly lit up, and he immediately opened his two little hands and said to Xiao Huang Rong in a childish voice: "Sister, hug!" ”

Tang Xiaoyu kisses whoever he sees. As soon as you see someone, you want to ask for a hug.

Although Xiao Huang Rong is so hungry now, she still hugged Tang Xiaoyu, because her father had repeatedly taught her to love her sister.

After Xiao Huang Rong took care of Tang Xiaoyu, Gan Nineteen Sister was not idle, but stepped forward to help Tang Xiaosheng, and the two were responsible for cooking dinner together. Since everyone is cultivating now, and cultivating immortals pays attention to cultivating the mind, it is appropriate to have a light diet. In the last few days. Tang Xiaosheng usually chooses to cook a pot of rice porridge at night. In addition, a few vegetarian dishes were fried.

Some of these vegetarian dishes are picked in the nearby mountains, while others are bought at markets dozens of kilometers away. Although Tang Xiaosheng and the others have now retired to the top of the light, they still occasionally use the disguise technique to change their appearance and go down the mountain to buy some things. With their light work. It only takes an hour to reach the nearby bazaar.

But. Tonight. It is the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival. On days like these, it's natural to eat something appropriate for the season. Thereupon. Tang Xiaosheng and Gan Nineteen Sister cooked a pot of rice balls tonight in addition to stir-frying a few vegetarian dishes.

When the meals and dumplings were cooked, Xiaolongnu, Wang Yuyan, Ren Yingying, Zhao Min, Bai Xiaoxiao and others also finished cultivating and walked out of the Pansi Cave one after another. When they came out, it was also dark, and the light on Peach Blossom Island became a little dim.

Soon, everyone raised a bonfire on Peach Blossom Island, and then everyone ate around the bonfire. In fact, they have modern lighting equipment such as emergency lights, but Xiaolongnu, Wang Yuyan, Ren Yingying, Dongfang Undefeated and others feel that in this natural environment, it is more warm and romantic to light a bonfire, and if you use equipment such as emergency lights, it is a bit of a bad scenery.

When the bonfire was lit, the crowd gathered in a circle and began to eat the rice balls. Although the Lantern Festival is held every year, this year's festival on such a thousand-kilometer peak far from the world still seems different, and everything has become fresh and interesting.

When I inadvertently look up and see the full moon hanging high in the deep blue night sky, I also feel that the moon tonight is fuller and brighter than before.

Everyone chatted while eating, and when they were full of food and drink, they continued to chat. From tonight's glutinous rice balls to the moon in the sky, from past experiences to today's cultivation, everyone spoke freely and freely.

When everyone was chatting happily, Guo Xiang took an acoustic guitar from Pansi Cave. This acoustic guitar was a birthday gift that Tang Xiaosheng bought for her five years ago, and she has kept it until now. When she came here a few days ago, she brought this acoustic guitar with her little salute.

"Big brother, today is the Lantern Festival, you can play and sing a song for us!" Guo Xiang handed the acoustic guitar to Tang Xiaosheng and suggested.

Tang Xiaosheng said: "If you want to say that the person who should sing a song, it is not me, but someone else, we have a hidden guitar master here." ”

"Guitar master? Who is it? Guo Xiang asked curiously.

Tang Xiaosheng pointed to Sister Gan Nineteen, who was sitting opposite, and said, "It's your Sister Gan, she has been a wandering singer for more than ten years." ”

"Really?" When Guo Xiang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. She herself was fascinated by the wandering life, but because she was reluctant to leave Tang Xiaosheng and Xiaolongnu, she didn't take action. Now that I know that Gan Nineteen Sister has been wandering for more than ten years, I can't help but feel a little envious.

Guo Xiang said: "Sister Gan, you have to play and sing a song for us tonight." ”

Xiao Zhao added: "Yes, you have to play and sing a song, it must be very good." ”

Although Gan Nineteen Sister has not been with them for a long time, she has been intimate, so she is not polite to them. Since they wanted to hear it, Gan Nineteen Sister didn't shirk it, took the guitar in Guo Xiang's hand, and asked, "What tune do you want to hear?" ”

"Gu, just do it."

"Sister Gan, sing what you are best at."

……

After listening to everyone's opinions, Gan Nineteen Mei thought about it and said, "In this way, let's sing the song I sang most often when I was wandering, Qi Yu's "Olive Tree".

"Hmm."

"Okay."

……

Gan Nineteen Mei (little girl) has been a wandering singer for more than ten years, and has sung on various occasions, and her mental quality is extraordinary. However, when she held the guitar in her hand tonight, she became a little nervous. There is no other reason, just because Tang Xiaosheng is sitting opposite her.

Gan Nineteen Mei condensed slightly, and after calming her emotions a little, she held the guitar to her chest, and with a slight movement of her white jade fingers, a soft melody like moonlight flowed out from her fingertips, taking advantage of the secluded mountain wind. Dance in the air.

After a simple chord prelude, Gan Nineteen Mei's thin lips moved slightly, her cherry mouth opened, and she softly sang Qi Yu's "Olive Tree":

"Don't ask me where I'm from, my hometown is far away. For what to wander, wander far away, wander ......

For the birds flying in the sky, for the clear streams in the mountains, for the wide grasslands, wandering far away. Stray......

……”

Singing. Crisp and sweet, like a cold spring gushing through the heart, people feel refreshed when they hear it. Unconsciously attracted to it.

A shallow moan. It's like a thin mountain breeze. The soft, delicate and pure texture makes people's heartstrings flutter slightly.

Xiaolongnu, Wang Yuyan, Ren Yingying, Guo Xiang, Xiao Zhao and others all listened attentively. Even Xiao Huang Rong and Tang Xiaoyu listened to it with relish.

However, there are two exceptions.

Tang Xiaosheng and Guo Xiang were not fascinated by Gan Nineteen Sister's singing after hearing Gan Nineteen Sister's singing, but were surprised. Today is the first time they have heard Gan Nineteen Sister sing, but they all feel that Gan Nineteen Sister's singing voice is very familiar, as if they have heard it somewhere before.

Gan Nineteen Sister also found that Tang Xiaosheng and Guo Xiang were a little wrong, and after she finished playing and singing, she asked curiously, "Xiang'er, what's wrong with you?" Am I not playing well? ”

"It's not." Guo Xiang shook his head, blinked his big eyes, and asked, "Sister Gan, I seem to have heard you sing this song before." ”

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?" Gan Nineteen Mei bent her eyebrows and recalled, "I came to Jinghua City in 2012, stayed for three months, and sang in the underground passage, don't you happen to hear it?" ”

"In 2012? Underpasses? Listening to her, Guo Xiang tried to think back to the events of five years ago, and after a while, his eyes lit up and he said, "Oh, I remembered!" Five years ago, when I left the psychiatric hospital with my eldest brother and passed through an underground passage, I once met a wandering singer. That wandering singer should be Sister Gan, you! ”

After Guo Xiang's reminder, Tang Xiaosheng finally remembered. In 2012, he took Guo Xiang out of the psychiatric hospital, and when he passed through the underground passage at the entrance of the hospital, he did see a female wandering singer. At that time, the female wandering singer was wearing a down hat, bowing her head, covering her face, and she didn't see her clearly at all, Tang Xiaosheng didn't know who she was, and he didn't expect her to be a little girl, but he just thought her voice was very good.

"So, five years ago, we actually met once?" Gan Nineteen Mei said a little incredulously.

"Hmm. Five years ago, I just listened to Sister Gan's guitar playing and singing, and I fell in love with the guitar. Guo Xiang explained, pouted, and asked, "Sister Gan, why did you cover your face when you were in the underground passage five years ago?" ”

Gan Nineteen Mei smiled faintly and said, "When I first started singing, I didn't cover my face. As a result, while playing and singing, he was once harassed by several men passing by. Later, when I was singing, I kept covering my face. ”

"Oh." Guo Xiang suddenly realized and said, "That's because Sister Gan is too beautiful." ”

Hearing this, Tang Xiaosheng couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart. It turned out that he had met the little girl five years ago, but she was singing with her head down, Tang Xiaosheng didn't recognize it at all, so the two passed by in the underground passage.

Tang Xiaosheng couldn't help but think: If he recognized the little girl five years ago, what would the whole thing have been?

"Big brother, Sister Gan has finished singing, now it's your turn." Just thinking about it, at this time, Guo Xiang suddenly interrupted.

"Daddy, you sing one too." Xiao Huang Rong immediately added that her position was unusually consistent with Guo Xiang's.

Tang Xiaosheng's singing skills are not good, but Xiaolongnu, Wang Yuyan, Ren Yingying, Zhao Min and others dare to listen, and there is nothing he dare not sing.

With a clear cough, Tang Xiaosheng took the guitar, calmed down, and played and sang an old folk song, Meng Tingwei's "The Past":

"The dream-like past, full of laughter.

The lovely little river in front of the door still sings old songs.

The dream-like past exudes fragrance.

The beautiful butterfly flowers in front of the door are still in full bloom.

Little River, I would like to stay by your side and listen to you sing eternal songs.

Let me look for the old days, the little girl with the butterfly flower in my memories

......" (To be continued.) )
