"Jing'er, there is a change in the north, I must leave immediately. Ma Dahai said to Lin Jing: "So the plan has changed, Uncle will send you down the mountain later." ”

"Why!" Ma Xiaoling was anxious.

"It's related to your mother!" Ma Dahai looked solemn.

As soon as she heard that her mother was involved, although Ma Xiaoling was full of reluctance, she couldn't say anything more.

Lin Jing felt extremely lost, he still had a lot of things to say to the bearded uncle and Xiaoling's sister, he thought that there was still a day, where did he think that the parting would come so quickly.

"Jing'er, how much did you see in the album yesterday. Ma Dahai asked.

"Almost thirty percent. Lin Jing thought for a while and said. Yesterday, he and Ma Xiaoling were talking and laughing, while looking at the album, although they had seen three percent, but what they really remembered in their hearts was only one percent.

"That's enough, in the future, when you are in the Maoshan Sect, you will have the opportunity to see such an album again. Ma Dahai said: "Jing'er, you must be very strange, why Uncle never told you about the Maoshan Sect. ”

When Ma Dahai said this, Lin Jing really felt a little strange, Maoshan Sect was really a strange place for him, but he had learned from Ma Dahai that it was a sect with the same name as Quanzhen Sect and Foguang Temple.

"The exercises used by the Maoshan Sect and my Bagua Sect are not the same, and the Jade Nuxi Divine Technique of the Maoshan Sect emphasizes the improvement of personal Taoism and the transformation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one's own use. However, the two Yi Heart Sutras of my Bagua Gate introductory exercises are to be combined with the five elements into one. There is a huge difference, and the practice of the Dharma is the most taboo and distracting thoughts, so not knowing anything is not a bad thing. Ma Dahai said.

Lin Jing nodded, but in fact, he didn't know anything about it, what was the Jade Nuxi Divine Technique, what was the Liangyi Heart Sutra, he sounded confused.

seemed to see that Lin Jing seemed to understand whether he understood or not, Ma Dahai said: "Jing'er, Uncle is a rough man, with a stupid mouth, unlike your father, who is talented and learned, so if you don't understand, forget it." You just have to remember that when you arrive at the Maoshan Sect, everything you want to know can be answered there. ”

Lin Jing nodded obediently, and when Ma Dahai saw this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Jing'er and her junior brother are really carved out of the same mold, and they are born with a scholarly atmosphere, I just hope that Jing'er will not end up with such a fate as her junior brother in this life.

It was September, and it was the height of summer. Lin Jing's clothes are all in the middle of summer, the winter in the north is cold, in order to prepare for emergencies, Ma Dahai left him a deerskin jacket. After simply cleaning up, Lin Jing carried a package full of belongings on his back, carrying the relics left by his father and mother in his arms, and pinning a money bag to his waist, which contained a gold ingot that Ma Dahai used as a coil for him.

After Lin Jing cleaned up, Ma Dahai took Ma Xiaoling and Lin Jing from the top of Lingshan Mountain to the foot of the mountain in an instant, and it turned out that Lingshan was located in Guilin Mansion in Guangxi Province. The Maoshan Sect is in the territory of Lanzhou Prefecture in Gansu Province, one northwest and one southeast, which is thousands of miles away.

Ma Dahai took out three two-inch-long golden charms from his arms, handed them to Lin Jing, instructed him to put them in his underwear, stick the meat and hide them, and said: "Jing'er, eighty days later, November 22 is the day when the Maoshan Sect goes out of the mountain once a year to accept disciples. You must rush to Lanzhou Mansion before that day. When you enter the city, there will be people from the Maoshan Sect to answer you. You must take this spell well, and it will definitely come in handy in the future. ”

Lin Jing nodded, and Ma Dahai, who listened, continued: "From here to Lanzhou Mansion, it is three thousand miles, and the road is long, you have to be more careful......

Before Ma Dahai's words fell, Ma Xiaoling screamed: "Oh my God! Three thousand miles! Daddy, do you want to let Brother Lin walk over alone!"

"What does the little girl know!" Ma Dahai scolded: "If a man can't endure hardship, how can he be promising? When I was as old as Jing'er, I had already followed my master to six hundred and thirteen provinces in the south, seven and north...... Jing'er, don't cry! A good man, even if he bleeds, he will never shed tears. Remember!"

Lin Jing listened to Ma Dahai's words, sad and worried, and couldn't help crying, and at this moment he held back his tears and responded: "I remember!"

"This is what the children of the Lin family look like!" Ma Dahai was very pleased, he cared for Lin Jing no less than his own daughter Ma Xiaoling, but he always felt that boys must have experience to grow, how could they grow into towering trees without wind and rain? Therefore, even though he hesitated in his heart, he finally insisted on letting Lin Jing go to Maoshan Sect alone.

"Daddy, after Brother Lin leaves, if he misses us, how can he contact us, why don't you give him a few talismans. Ma Xiaoling pouted, her eyes were red, she was holding Xiaobai in her arms, and she looked at Lin Jing without blinking.

"No!" Ma Dahai flatly refused: "Jing'er must not carry anything related to my gossip sect." Once you enter the Maoshan Sect, you can't turn back! Jing'er, the day you finish your studies will be the time when you and I will meet. ”

"Go, Jing'er, and go in the northwest direction. After that, it's all up to you. Ma Dahai waved his hand and let Lin Jing go on the road.

"Brother Lin!" Ma Xiaoling finally couldn't help crying: "Don't forget me!"

"I ...... How could I ......" Lin Jing wanted to say, "How could I forget you", but tears welled up for a while, and he couldn't speak. Lin Jing remembered that he had promised Ma Dahai that he would never cry easily, so he simply waved his hand, reluctantly said "cherish", and turned to leave.

Uncle Bearded, Sister Xiaoling, goodbye! Lin Jing's heart was mixed, and the scenes of getting along with Ma Dahai's father and daughter kept flashing in his mind.

"Xiaobai, where are you going?" Suddenly there was a call from Ma Xiaoling behind him, Lin Jing subconsciously turned around and saw Xiaobai running towards him quickly, while Ma Xiaoling was chasing after him.

"Xiaobai, why are you here, can't you bear me. Lin Jing's heart stirred, and he suddenly hugged Xiaobai in his arms.

"Xiaobai, come with me. Ma Xiaoling stretched out her hand to take Xiaobai away, but was almost bitten by the latter's mouth.

"Ling'er, let this little thing accompany Jing'er. Ma Dahai said.

Although Ma Xiaoling was a little reluctant, she thought that Xiaobai could accompany Lin Jing and relieve his loneliness, so she stretched out her hand to caress Xiaobai and said, "Xiaobai, you have to be obedient, Brother Lin will be accompanied by you in the future." ”

After speaking, Ma Xiaoling and Lin Jing waved goodbye, not dragging their feet at all. Although his appearance is different from his father, the sassy and heroic spirit in his bones are innate.

Lin Jing took Xiaobai into his arms, looked at the little guy lying comfortably in the crook of his arm, and felt a little comforted in his heart. When he turned around, he found that Ma Dahai and Ma Xiaoling had left.

Whether it's sad or sad, there are some roads that you still have to walk alone after all.

Since ancient times, "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world", although the scenery is excellent, but the road condition is not good, the only official road is also potholes, when it rains, the left foot, the right foot in the mud puddle, the situation in the whirlpool is extremely common.

Lin Jing is walking on this official road at the moment, although the road is not smooth, but for many days, the weather is sunny, but it is not muddy. It's just that there is no one on the official road, Lin Jing walked for more than ten miles in a row, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, he was really tired, so he rested for a while under a big tree on the side of the road.

His mouth was a little dry, Lin Jing touched his pocket, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't even have a grain or a drop of water with him! After a while, Lin Jing's stomach also stopped working. He couldn't help but be a little worried, and looked around, where should he go to find food if he didn't have a village or a store in front of him.

Originally, Ma Xiaoling and Lin Jing were young after all, and it was not surprising that they lacked experience and were not thoughtful, but Ma Dahai should not forget to prepare dry food for Lin Jing to use on the road. It's just that Ma Dahai has been wandering alone for a long time, casually catching a rabbit from the mountains, catching a wild beast can be a full meal, how have you ever worried about dry food. He has always been rough, he prepared a few large ingots of gold for Lin Jing to wrap, thinking that this would be enough, where did he think that Lin Jing was difficult to cook without rice at this moment, and there was nowhere to use it if he had money.

Whether it is with his parents or with Ma Dahai's father and daughter, Lin Jing plays the role of being taken care of. It wasn't until this moment that he realized how difficult it was to live alone without someone to take care of him.

Knowing the hardships of life is also a kind of growth.

"Xiaobai, are you thirsty, do you want to eat something?" Lin Jing stood up, picked up a handful of weeds, and sent it to Xiaobai's mouth, Xiaobai twisted his head and dodged it.

"Okay, Xiaobai, you're not hungry, I'm going to have to find a way to feed myself. Lin Jing looked at the sky, about noon, and thought that if he didn't go forward at this moment and find a populated place to settle down, at night, he was afraid that he would have to sleep on the road.

Thinking of this, Lin Jing got up and walked along the official road.

This walk was two hours, and his legs were weak when he walked straight, and once he sat down, he was afraid that he would not be able to stand up. But it's strange to say, Lin Jing walked on this official road for a few hours, and he didn't even see a single figure, let alone the village where he settled.

Seeing that the sun was gradually setting westward, Lin Jing gritted his teeth, continued to walk forward, and then looked at Xiaobai in his arms, it was good, it was falling asleep, very comfortable.

Fortunately, there is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. Just as the moon was rising, Lin Jing finally saw a lonely small hut not far ahead.

Lin Jing seemed to see the dawn, and couldn't help but speed up his pace, and when he got closer, he saw that there was only one thatched hut, the door was open, and there seemed to be a few people talking inside.

Sure enough, there are people! Lin Jing stopped, straightened out the corners of his clothes, coughed clearly, and said: "The kid is a foreigner, passing by the precious land, I don't know if I can ask for saliva to drink." ”

As soon as Lin Jing's words fell, a tall man wearing a black cloak walked to the door, his face was obscured by the cloak, and only the sharp nose and white lips like an eagle could be seen.

The man was talking, and a crisp female voice came from behind him.

"Kunnu, let him in. ”

"Yes, miss. Kunnu opened his mouth and startled Lin Jing. His voice was untouched, as if it had come from hell, cold to the bone. But the female voice was sweet, soft, and warm in my heart.

Lin Jing said: "Then it's bothering." Then he passed past the man in black and walked into the house.

There was no light in the house, and by the setting sun, I could barely see a few stools scattered in the thatched hut, and a small window opened in the direction of the north, under which was a small bed made of straw, but the simple bed was covered with a layer of white sheets.

A little girl with short ear-length hair and a pair of delicate jade earrings was standing in front of the small bed with her hands behind her back, looking at Lin Jing with her head up.

She was wearing snow-white boots on her feet, a pale green shirt on her body, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she had a faint smile. A shallow pear vortex next to the corner of the lip is indescribably bright and playful.

The girl's smile was as warm as spring breeze and rain, Lin Jing looked at her bright eyes and snow-like skin, and couldn't help but sigh: Where did the little girl come from, she is so beautiful.

"Why, you want to beg for water?" asked the little girl, a faint smile still on her lips.
