A few days later......

I received a flying pigeon message again, signed by ......

A fox is drawn on it.

But it should have been sent by the same person.

The letter told me that the time had come for me to leave for the capital, ready to collect the first fragments.

Seeing this, I was reminded of some things in my dreams.

In my dream, an old man told me about this. But I don't remember exactly why.

And in the previous letter, I also said that if one day I would tell me my background.

In that case, I'll just keep doing it.

The letter also included a rather simple map of Bianjing, indicating the location of the first fragment.

Bianjing Imperial Palace??????

I'm afraid this is joking with me, I'm just an ordinary person in the Song Dynasty now, the palace is heavily guarded, isn't it my life to let me in? How do I get in?

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't know what to do, so I could only say goodbye to Xue Qing first.

"Xueqing, I've been on the mountain for some time, thank you for taking care of me all the time."

Xue Qing looked at me with a confused expression: "Why did you suddenly say this?" ”

She thought for a while and said, "I understand, are you planning to leave Sanqing Mountain?" ”

I was silent for a moment before nodding.

"Well, I still have some things to do, and I plan to leave early tomorrow morning."

It can be seen that Xue Qing is a little lonely.

"That'...... Where are you going? Will you ever go back to Sanqingshan again? ”

I looked at Xue Qing's lonely eyes and said, "I will go to Bianjing first on this trip, and I don't know where to go after that." As for Sanqingshan, everything here gives me a familiar feeling, I can't let go of it, I hope to come back again. ”

We fell into a sudden silence.

I knew I couldn't go on like this, so I had to muster up the courage and look directly into Xue Qing's clear eyes.

She realized I was looking at her, and slowly lowered her head, avoiding my gaze. My chest was pounding.

At this time, she blushed and said, "You really look like a mystery. ”

I looked at her, held her hand and said, "Your little junior brother is also like a mystery. ”

Ye Xueqing slowly raised her eyes again, her eyes wandered around the affairs in the bedroom, and her expression was sad and pitiful.

"I'm sorry, Xue Qing, I shouldn't have mentioned your sadness."

"It's okay, it's been ten years, it's me who misses the old too much."

I looked at her, and she was a little lost.

"Can you tell me about that? Maybe it's better to say it. ”

Xue Qing looked at me and didn't tell me about it.

"The weather is fine today, and the sunset in the evening must be beautiful, so you can accompany me to see the sunset again."

Since it was Xue Qing's invitation, I couldn't shirk it, I nodded.

"Well, we'll see you in the evening." With that, Xue Qing left my room.

If I don't have to figure out my own background, and I don't have to care about these dream scenes, I really want to be with her all the time, but sometimes, people's curiosity is endless, not to mention, I don't even know who I really are.

Every time I see the sunset over Sanqing Mountain, I recall that sentence.

The flowers bloom sometimes, and the flowers fall silently.

Only this sunset is still the same as it was at the beginning.

After meeting, Ye Xueqing got straight to the point and told me about her little brother back then.

"When he was six years old, his village was slaughtered and hunted down, but it was the master who saved him. Two years were spent on Sanqing Mountain. At the age of eight, he was diagnosed with an incurable disease, which was left behind by the people who slaughtered the village. ”

Speaking of this, in Xue Qing's clear eyes, I could see a trace of loss and sadness.

"How so? Did you find any clues later? Find out who did it? ”

Xue Qing shook her head.

"At that time, we were all in a hurry, seeking medical treatment everywhere, and we couldn't be treated by looking for famous doctors all over the world. The three sons of Yanzhou and the four great families have also investigated clues for five long years, and they still can't know who is the murderer. ”

"Ten years have passed, and in the end, the junior brother still couldn't hold on and passed away."

I put my hand on Xue Qing's hand.

"Xue Qing, don't be too upset. If one day, I mean one day. I'll be sure to look into this for you. ”

Xue Qing looked at me with a blushing face.

"No, I don't want you to have an accident like him. The three of our brothers and sisters are all orphans, and the reason why they are surnamed Ye is because they have followed the master since they were children, so they follow the master's surname. I don't want you to be like my junior brother. The rivers and lakes are sinister, you must be careful. ”

Xue Qing held my hand and looked at me.

"If the junior brother is still here, he should also be an adult, can we still be as close as we were when we were children?"

"The world changes, time is sometimes too cruel, but sometimes it is warm enough, I believe that if he is still alive. You grow up together, then the affection in your heart will last forever. ”

Xue Qing looked at the sunset and spoke for a long time.

"Thank you, I've always wanted this day."

In the nostalgic atmosphere of the setting sun, Xue Qing told me about her happy childhood with her little brother.

After a while, the sun set in the west and set under the sea of clouds behind the mountain.

The sky was getting darker, and the sky was getting deeper and bluer. Even the stars are dotted, and the night is attractive.

"When I'm in a bad mood, I always like to stay up late, or even stay up all night, and it's easy for people to forget their troubles when I'm tired."

Xue Qing looked at me in surprise

"No matter how good or bad the mood is, I always work and rest on time, the master said, so that I can nourish and accumulate essence, which is beneficial to the practice of martial arts."

"Never stay up late, never stay up all night?" I asked, confused.

Xue Qing said a little sadly.

"Well, almost never, except for when I was a child, my junior brother was sick and painful, and I was with him all the time and could hardly sleep."

I thought about it for a moment.

"Xue Qing, have you always lived in the mountains? Never descended the mountain and never traveled further? ”

She shook her head

"Not really. I sometimes go far away, but there are not many opportunities, and the old man always can't worry about me. ”

When Ye Xueqing speaks, if she is happy, she is used to raising her eyes and smiling. If you are unhappy, your eyes will drop slightly.

I think her heart must be extremely gentle and delicate, and she can sensitively capture her own emotions and those of others.

"I heard that the rivers and lakes are vast, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty are beautiful and prosperous. Bianjing, Hangzhou, and Cangzhou have their own customs, and I really want to go everywhere to see. ”

"But the rivers and lakes are mixed, and it must be dangerous, so you have to be careful everywhere."

"Xue Qing, you know, the memory of being a hero has always existed in my memory. Or, taking advantage of this night, I'm also full of interest, you can teach me some swordsmanship, so maybe I can defend myself in the future. ”

Xue Qing looked at me and smiled gently: "Okay, then I'll teach you this big hero today, if you don't practice martial arts well, it's really a waste of your body and reaction." But you don't have the internal strength to cultivate, so you can only learn some simple ones first. ”

I nodded, it seems that from today onwards, I will be stepping into the rivers and lakes while tracing the roots.

"Don't be too happy, although the swordsmanship is simple, it takes a lot of effort."

I looked at Xue Qing excitedly: "Don't worry, I'm not afraid of difficulties." ”

After Xue Qing demonstrated several sets of simple swordsmanship, she taught me a set of willow leaf swordsmanship.

It is said to be the first set of swordsmanship she learned after she began to practice martial arts as a child.

Although this sword technique is simple and straightforward, not to mention mastering the essence of swordsmanship, even if you memorize one move and one style, and use it correctly and coherently, it will take a long time.

However, I quickly memorized these sword moves, so it didn't take long for me to comprehend the willow leaf sword technique.

Xue Qing said unhurriedly: "It's already very good to remember that I have practiced swordsmanship for a month in such a short period of time." It's just that martial arts cultivation is not an overnight thing. ”

"This is thanks to Xue Qing's good teaching, but I am afraid it will take a long way to become a generation of heroes."

"If you want to be a hero, it's so easy. According to your current situation, you must remember the key when using this set of swordsmanship. ”

I asked, confused.

"What's the key?"

Xue Qing covered her lips and smiled: "This is the key, that is, don't hurt yourself." ”

Although there was a hint of embarrassment, but inadvertently, we all burst out laughing, and Fang Cai's fatigue was reduced a lot.

Under Xue Qing's guidance, I practiced this set of willow leaf swordsmanship in a coherent manner, and then found a piece of soft grass to rest.

I lay on the grass with my arms under my head and looked up at the stars. Xue Qing sat next to me, her hands clasped around her knees.

"I'm leaving for Bianjing tomorrow."

Xue Qing looked at me with a blush and said, "Jie, do you remember what you said to me?" ”

"Is it about the stars?"

Xue Qing nodded.

"You said I was the one who saw the most stars in the world, so ......"

"So I landed from the stars and came to your side to accompany you."

Xue Qing is like a shy little woman who is endearing.

"Is it the brightest star?"

I nodded.

As she spoke, Ye Xueqing raised her head, raised her right hand, and pointed to the sky, like an innocent little girl.

The night was getting dark, and before we knew it, we were talking less and less.

I lay on the grass on the cloudy platform and gradually fell asleep.

When I came back to my senses, I found myself in a peach blossom forest.

The petals are falling, and there seems to be a thin layer of mist around them.

I got up and walked around, and time passed slowly, but no matter how I walked, I found that I would still come back to the same place.

The colorful petals of this peach grove and the mist made me gradually dizzy.

I seem to be in a labyrinth, but no matter how much I look, I can't find the exit.

I tried to call Xue Qing. But no one agreed.

At this moment, behind the five peach blossom trees around me, five women suddenly came out sideways.

They were in different poses, facing me, looking at me, but I couldn't see their faces clearly.

"Who are you?"

I asked.

From under the first peach blossom tree, a voice of concern came.

"Don't be afraid, I'm always there for you. No matter how dangerous the illusion is, I will sacrifice my life to save you from it. ”

And in the second lesson, there is a lovely voice under the peach blossom tree.

"What are you still hesitating about, just follow the others!"

My eyes fell to the third peach blossom tree, and a gentle voice was heard.

"It's just a fantasy. If you settle down, you'll be able to get out of here, won't you? ”

My head ached more and more, and I heard a mysterious voice from under the fourth peach blossom tree.

"In the illusion, follow my footsteps, otherwise your life will be lost."

Until I heard a seductive voice from under the fifth peach blossom tree.

"The secret of the illusion, I naturally know it by heart. But if I want to leave, I have to see if you can open my heart. ”

Then I collapsed in this peach blossom forest.

It didn't take long for me to come back to my senses again, only to see the wanton killing, and I was in the midst of fire.

The people wept and cried for help, but no one answered, and the army rushed towards me from the bones of the people. I just woke up from my dream.

When I woke up, it was already dawn, but I was already sweating profusely because of the nightmare.

And without further ado, it's time for me to pack my things and head down.

When I came to the bottom of the mountain, there were more people in an instant, because I appeared in Yunqitai, so I haven't seen it down the mountain until now.

It turns out that this peachy village at the foot of the mountain is called Taoxi Village, and it is extremely famous for peach blossom snow and sour bamboo shoots.

And it's quite similar to what I dreamed of last night.

I just don't have time to think about that.

If you are not in a hurry, I really want to stay in this small village of the Song Dynasty for a while to learn more about the customs and customs.

Ye Xueqing sent me to the riverside ferry, and the passenger boat waited for the guests at the pier, and then left for Bianjing when it was full.

At this time, a gentle and melodious singing voice came from not far away.

"Xue Qing, you listen to the singing over there."

Xue Qing looked at the song and said, "This is "Huansha Song", and the young women in the village often sing this song in Huansha by the stream. ”

"I see, it's so nice." I also have this beautiful singing voice in my memory.

After boarding the boat, Xue Qing gave me the sword she was carrying.

"I have carried this sword with me since I was a child, and I am giving it to you. Although you have a very high level of understanding and learn quickly, you must practice the swordsmanship I taught you diligently. ”

I nodded, gently holding Xue Qing's hand and looking at her.

"Thank you Xueqing, I will definitely keep this sword."

"Hmm. You're going to Bianjing this time, do you have any other plans after that? ”

I shook my head.

"The mountains and rivers of the Great Song Dynasty are beautiful, and the people are beautiful, I want to travel around the rivers and lakes in my spare time, and by the way, I also want to explore my life experience."

"Actually, you also want to see what the real rivers and lakes and martial arts are like, right?"

Xue Qing held my hand and looked directly at me with clear eyes.

I nodded, looking out at the mountains and rivers in the distance.

"Hmmm! When I travel, if I come across beautiful scenery and interesting things, I will definitely record them and come back to share them with you. ”

"It's a deal. However, if you are away from home for a long time, you can't dress up like this. ”

"Don't worry, when I start to travel around this great river, when I look for my own background, I will definitely freshen up and dress up."

After Xue Qing heard what I said, the big stone in her heart finally fell and nodded.

"Jie, the rivers and lakes are too big, we are too slim, take care."

When I heard this, tears almost fell from the corners of my eyes for some reason. The rivers and lakes are too big, and we are too slim.

I feel it deeply.

I nodded.

"There will be a date later, Xue Qing."

It's good to meet you, Xue Qing.

The boat is slowly moving on Biyun Creek, and the mountains, villages, and peach trees on both sides are slowly retreating.

We waved goodbye until we couldn't see each other clearly.

The river wind blew on my face, the ship swayed, and I held the sword tightly.

What should I do next?
