The lake is as flat as a mirror, the ripples of the oars spread, and the full moon in the water rises and falls.

There is only one flat boat on the vast lake, and the whole world is quiet under the night breeze.

The man and woman in white sat on a small boat, far away from the world, and under the reflection of the starry sky, it was like a lonely boat in the galaxy.

"It's a pity that I shouldn't have accepted you as an apprentice......"

The hair in Ning Yuhe's ears swayed gently with the night breeze, and the oars in his hands stopped at some point, just looking at the full moon in the sky, he remembered something, and his eyes showed a bit of longing, which was completely different from the gentle and demure of the past, and even showed a little bit of agility that only a little daughter had.

Xu Buling sat in front of him and looked at the moon in the sky:

"Why? Do you think I'm not fit to be an apprentice? ”

"It's not...... It's not a ...... that shouldn't be collected."

Ning Yuhe sat quietly on the boat, her turquoise earrings swaying in the night wind, and thought for a while:

“…… When I was a child, I was just a concubine, and I had no status at all in the thriving Tang family, and I was not even as good as an older maid, and my martial arts talent was okay, but the Tang family's sword was passed on to men and not to women, so I was naturally not convinced......

…… At that time, like you, I also longed for the free rivers and lakes, and I thought about being a heroine when I grew up, traveling all over the world, doing chivalrous deeds, and then meeting a like-minded hero, and the two wandered the world together......"

Saying this, Ning Yuhe raised his eyes and looked at Xu Buling's side face:

"Do you remember the last time we were outside Chang'an City, after encountering a sneak attack by assassins, we rode back together?"

Xu Buling's memory is still fresh, the belly pocket is still in the box, how can he forget: "Naturally remember, at that time, I sacrificed my life to save the master, and the master bandaged my wounds......"

Ning Yuhe pursed his lips and smiled, and continued to look at the moon in the sky:

"When I was a child, my imagination was the same as that, when a chivalrous woman riding a horse and fighting a sword, traveling from south to north, suddenly one day, in a special place, I met a special person, maybe we took a boat together, and then we met......

…… That person is gentle and elegant, handsome, maybe a scholar who doesn't know martial arts, or maybe he is a chivalrous man with high martial arts, he is kind and polite, and he happened to look at me more...... After that, two people rode a horse and walked all over the world. Until one day when I was tired of walking, I returned to the place where we first met, the grass house and bamboo house, raising children, and being calm until the day I closed my eyes...... That's what I imagined the rivers and lakes to look like......"

Children of the rivers and lakes, chivalrous and tender, who in the world does not yearn for?

Xu Buling had a smile in his eyes: "Actually, the rivers and lakes in my imagination are similar to what Master imagined. ”

Ning Yuhe blinked, and sighed faintly: "It's a pity that creation makes people, I haven't grown up yet, and the road has gone astray...... I thought it would be impossible to go that way in my life, but I didn't expect that I would really find that imaginary chivalrous man......"

Ning Yuhe turned his head between his words and looked at Xu Buling, his eyes sincere and a little regretful:

“…… Handsome, gentle and elegant, but also strong in martial arts, the key is that he also has a chivalrous heart, the only drawback is that he is a little lustful......"

Xu Buling nodded slowly, but when he heard the last sentence, his face was slightly stiff, a little innocent.

"But I'm already very satisfied, I thought that there was only such a man in my imagination, but I didn't expect that I would really meet it, and it would come so suddenly...... It's a pity that I came ten years late, and I shouldn't have accepted you as an apprentice......"

After Ning Yuhe finished speaking softly, he looked at the full moon in the lake, showing a faint sense of loss.

Xu Buling was silent, sat a little closer, and Ning Yuhe was close to him, and said curiously:

"If you don't have an apprentice, don't you ......?"

Ning Yuhe shook his head, naturally leaned his head on Xu Buling's shoulder, and looked at the full moon in the lake:

"If we didn't have an apprenticeship, we should be able to be a couple of heroes like now, I'm a few years older than you, you shouldn't care about ......it."

"Naturally not."

Xu Buling's body stiffened slightly, his soft hair was attached to his cheeks, and the gloomy fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, a little heartfelt.

Ning Yuhe pursed his lips and smiled, and thought for a while: "I actually want to get married, I have long had enough of being alone in the Taoist temple, but I just escaped the emperor's marriage, and no one in the world dares to marry me...... You even dare to touch the Queen Mother, you should dare to marry me, right? ”

"What am I afraid of?"

“…… Alas~"

Ning Yu Heyu's fingers curled his ears and drooped his hair, and he sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that I have already accepted you as an apprentice, the status of master and apprentice is greater than the sky, so I can't mess around...... In fact, it's okay to be a master, just by being by your side like this, it can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of my childhood......"

He was already so active, Xu Buling didn't seem to be able to sit still, hesitated a little, raised his hand and hugged Ning Yuhe's shoulder, and said softly:

"Anyway, Master didn't teach me anything, it just doesn't count......"

"No...... I am a serious woman in the rivers and lakes, and the master and apprentice are the master and apprentice...... But it seems to be providential, when I left Changqing Mountain at the beginning of the year, I calculated a hang for myself, the hexagram is 'trapped dragon rain, don't look at it, it's difficult to look back', at that time I thought I could see the real dragon, looking around along the way, I didn't find it, thinking that the hexagram was fake...... In the end, I found out that the trapped dragon was you, and the rain was the queen mother, and I saw what the two of you were doing...... Since we have seen it, we can't turn back, something must happen to the two of us, and the providence is so ......"

Xu Buling does not believe in evil, but at this time, he naturally follows the words:

"Since the will of heaven is difficult, then find a way, the master will expel me from the master's door and conform to the will of heaven......"

Ning Yuhe shook his head lightly: "Expelling the master is also a master and apprentice, how can there be a reason for the master to marry the apprentice, wouldn't it be laughed at if it is passed on...... But since the hexagram has been fulfilled, this calamity will come sooner or later, and I must have a marriage with you, and if there is such a day, you must not tell this about it......"

Where is the question of whether to talk about it or not......

Xu Buling thought for a while, raised his hand, picked up Ning Yuhe's chin, and looked at the white cheeks that were close at hand:

"Master, do you like me?"

"I ......"

Ning Yuhe's face turned red slightly, and she rarely showed a little shyness, turned her eyes away, and thought about it:

"I don't know...... But I should like you when you blocked me that time. Riding on a horse, the ghost sent the god to bandage you with his belly pocket, and he was distracted, and he was thinking about these things at that time...... Later, I found out that you have seen my body, I am actually not angry at all, I just feel ashamed, I am your master, how can you look at me and hide it from me...... A few days after leaving Chang'an, I regretted it...... You see me because I saved me, we are not a master and apprentice, it is estimated that God arranged it, it was I who inexplicably accepted you as an apprentice, if I didn't accept you, we might have walked together...... I just like chivalrous, you are like this, you can only say that creation makes people, God deliberately targeted me......"

Xu Buling thought for a while: "At that time, I said that I would marry you, did I really want to marry you...... Of course, there is an ingredient that the master wants to be responsible for......"

"I don't have you to ......"

Ning Yuhe frowned slightly: "I am your master, you have to be filial to me." ”

“……”

Xu Buling spread his hands slightly, and had nothing to say......
