The sun was setting, and the crossbowman and Qing Xiaoxiao had already rushed to Yunlai Town.

Although the town is in the middle of the two towns and the towns of Liyang, it is not located on both sides of the road, and is in a col from the official road. Usually few outsiders arrive, and even before the capital was moved, it was lonely and unknown.

Some people call it "the first pure land under the feet of the Son of Heaven". However, that's all the old calendar.

The sun rises and the sun sets, and the outside world has nothing to do with me. Adhering to this mode of survival, the town has been able to develop to this day, and how many dynasties have changed in the emperor's house.

It coincides with the market, and there are not a few people on the streets of the town.

The two crossbowmen led their horses through the entrance of the street, and the country people on the street were busy with their own business, and no one cared about the two foreign visitors.

On the side of the street, several children were surrounding an old man selling sugar gourds, noisy and noisy, the old man's cheeks were red, he grinned and put away the coins in the children's hands, and handed them strings of sugar gourds.

When the crossbowman walked past the old man, the old man seemed to deliberately raise his voice, "Selling sugar gourds, crisp and sweet sugar gourds..."

Looking at the two remaining strings of sugar gourds on the straw stick in the old man's hand, the crossbow man swallowed his saliva, and then remembered how long it had been since he had eaten this thing, and he turned his head to look at Qing Xiaoxiao.

Qing Xiaoxiao smiled knowingly, the green skirt was slightly swinging, and the two Yanli Tong coins were placed in the crossbowman's hand.

The crossbowman was a little embarrassed at first, but then thought that he was now penniless, so he reluctantly took it.

gave the old man money, and the old man took off the two sugar gourds with a smile and handed them to the Taoist.

The crossbowman handed one of the strings to his aunt, with a smile on his face.

Qing Xiao was speechless, but pretended to be very happy.

The two were about to lead the horse away, and the voice of the old man behind them sounded, "Little real person go slowly, my brother hasn't looked for your money yet." ”

The crossbowman stopped and turned to look at the old man.

At this time, the old man was holding a small pile of coins in his arms, and looked at the Taoist with a smile.

The crossbowman was puzzled, others are also a coin for a string of sugar gourds, how did they come to me, give you two, and find me a bunch, is this old man stupid. Hurriedly asked, "Brother, isn't this sugar gourd a string of coins?" ”

The old man was taken aback and replied, "Xiao Zhenren, this is Yanli Tong coin, but my sugar gourd only needs a penny and a string." ”

Seeing that the little Taoist was still puzzled, the old man said, "This Yanli Tong coin is ten coins, and the little real person gave me two coins The old brother didn't understand what the intention was, and I thought it was to exchange a little more change, so I delayed for a while." ”

The crossbow man suddenly realized, hurriedly took the coin in the old man's arms, and thanked the old man with a fist.

Qing Xiaoxiao on the side widened her beautiful eyes, and only then did she know that her little nephew didn't know anything about this money, no wonder so much money was given to others without blinking.

Walking along the bluestone slabs of the town's streets, the two walked towards the back hill.

The crossbowman was silent all the way, even the sugar gourd was tasteless, and when he reached the mountain pass, he asked for no reason, "Auntie, my half bag of coins is this Yanli Tong coin?" ”

Qing Xiaoxiao sneered, spit out a sugar gourd in his mouth, and replied, "Xia'er, your half bag of money is amazing, if it is more than this coin, one is equivalent to this thousand?" ”

The crossbowman's heart ached. Shook his head helplessly, he was really a good money boy, and the half of the sugar gourd chewed in his mouth was now clearly bitter.

Qing Xiaoxiao looked at the crossbowman's face as if she had eaten a bitter melon, and comforted her with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, if the money is gone, I'll find my aunt, and my aunt will also learn from you to be that good money boy." ”

The crossbowman really wants to find a crack in the ground to get into, auntie, you are really good at comforting people...

After the interlude, the two began to climb the mountain.

Looking up, the mountain is not very high, occasionally covered by clouds, a few houses are exposed, it should be the Hanshan Taoist Temple.

The house is not large, and it is hidden in the mountainside, so it is difficult to see it if you don't look closely.

The mountain road is also the kind of bluestone slab of the town street, paved with stairs, half a meter wide, built according to the mountain.

After a short time, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the Taoist temple with their horses.

There is a plaque of the word "cold mountain" hanging at the door of the Taoist temple, the smoke in the view is ethereal, I think the incense is not bad, compared to the Taoist temple, it is more like a Taoist temple here.

Looking at the figures inside and outside, there are Taoist priests and pilgrims.

Before the two crossbowmen entered the view, a Taoist boy rushed to lead the horse to lead the way. Take the two of them to visit one by one, from the Taoist ancestor hall, to the Taoist temple of the opening of the mountain and the main "cold mountain" Zhenjun side hall, but I can't see the figure of the broad-clothed Taoist.

Xiao Daotong is very kind to the crossbowman, probably because he is also a Taoist disciple. Then he took the two of them to the guest hall to rest.

The crossbow man originally wanted to ask Dao Tong about the whereabouts of the master, but seeing that he was so enthusiastic, he had to wait until the guest hall to make inquiries.

The three of them were about to arrive at the guest hall, and they were greeted by a young Taoist priest and a little Taoist boy.

The little Taoist boy got up from the ground, bared his teeth and asked the young Taoist priest, "Senior brother is in such a hurry, rushing to reincarnate." ”

The young Taoist touched the head of the little Taoist boy, smiled at the two crossbowmen, and then said sadly, "Senior brother doesn't know, that strange-tempered uncle and ancestor have lost his temper again, and he will not go to the good bazaar, and he will sleep on the bed." Just now I went to deliver food, but I was shouted, and I insisted on asking me to find a pot of wine to drink, but I couldn't find it, so I asked the master to beat me, which scared me so much that I hurried to find it, but I searched all over the Taoist temple where there was any wine, and I was about to go down the mountain to buy some, and I bumped into you. ”

After the young Taoist finished speaking, he touched the little Taoist boy's head again.

The crossbow man heard the conversation between the two, and hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask Senior Brother, is the Senior Uncle Ancestor you said in your mouth a sloppy middle-aged Taoist in a wide robe." ”

When the young Taoist heard the question, he was a little surprised, and replied, "This Taoist junior brother, how can you know the appearance of my uncle's ancestor. ”

The crossbowman saluted and said, "Senior brother doesn't know, that's the family teacher." ”

The young Daoist came to his senses, turned to think about it, bowed down and said, "It turned out to be a junior uncle, your senior brother Xiaodao doesn't dare to be." ”

The crossbow man didn't expect that the generations of this Taoist family would be so clearly divided, and he was an old man, and he also became a junior uncle of another family, so he quickly asked the young Taoist not to stick to the subtleties.

The little Taoist boy next to him widened his eyes and looked at the crossbow man a few more times, and the crossbow man touched his head as the young Taoist learned, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Suddenly, the young Taoist remembered that he still had to go down the mountain to buy wine, so he had to say goodbye to a few people.

The crossbowman grabbed him and said, "Don't panic, junior uncle, there will be a wine gourd right away, you can bring him." ”

When the young Taoist heard this, he thanked the little uncle and hurriedly went to find the wine gourd.

Xiao Daotong led the crossbowman to the door of Uncle Shi's ancestral house. said that he had something else to do, and ran away.

The crossbowman smiled bitterly, stood at the door of the master, and hesitated for a moment before daring to knock on the door.

There was a knock on the door, and there was a curse in the house, "Which unenlightened calf has come to disturb Dao Ye's good dreams again..."

The crossbow man scolded in his heart, but he still said gently, "Master, it's the disciple who is here." ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the house was lifted away by a huge force, and the crossbowman did not have time to retreat, so he slammed the door on the ground and fell into a pig's head.

Immediately, a man in wide clothes appeared at the door, stretching his waist, yawning, and muttering, "Who did I think it was, it turned out to be you stinky boy." ”

The Taoist was stunned, and when he saw that there was a slim girl at the door, his eyes suddenly flashed with golden light, and he said, "I haven't seen her for a few days, and the girl has become a fish and a goose." ”

Qing Xiaoxiao didn't bother to pay attention to it, and helped the crossbowman who was still lying on the ground up, a little distressed, and glared at the Taoist fiercely.

The Taoist was even more comfortable, his old face was full of flowers, and he scolded in his mouth, "This unsuccessful rabbit cub can't practice, and his ability to mess with flowers and grass is like a crossbow brother." ”

The crossbow man was aggrieved in his heart, but he didn't dare to say more, of course he knew his master's temper, and he couldn't talk about respect, but he was afraid of being beaten.

Behind him, the young Taoist who had just gone out to look for the wine gourd ran in, handed the wine gourd to the Taoist respectfully, did not dare to stay longer, and ran away without a trace.

The Taoist took the wine jug, weighed a few points in his hand, and said, "Xiao Liu's gourd, Xiao Qi's wine, I really spoil you stinky boy." ”

After speaking, he opened the lid of the gourd, poured a few sips, and said to himself, "Xiao Qi still knows the intention of being a teacher..."

Qing Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it anymore, how could there be such a master in the world, and he wanted to open his mouth to question, but was stopped by the pig-headed crossbowman.

The crossbowman spoke, "Master, your old man has scolded and scolded, and you have beaten and beaten, it's time to get down to business." ”

The Taoist was not in a hurry, drank a few more sips of wine, and stroked his goatee. His face began to become heavy, he sighed, and said slowly, "Pity my crossbow brother and younger siblings, is it worth paying so much for you stinky boy..."

The Taoist sighed again, pressed some secrets that could not be told in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Crossbow boy, you remember for the teacher, and then the teacher will travel far away, this is the last time you will see you, whether you can see you again in the future depends on the will of heaven." It's not good to say much about your parents' affairs as a teacher, probably as you know, as for how you want to do it, you don't want to worry about it as a teacher, and you can only decide after reading your mother's handwritten letters. ”

After speaking, the Taoist waved his sleeves, and the crossbow man had disappeared in place.

Qing Xiaoxiao on the side was a little panicked, and asked the Taoist, "Immortal Master Li, where has my family gone?" ”

The Taoist smiled and said, "Go where you should go, and when he understands it, you will see each other." ”

The Taoist pretended to be deep, and the girl in the green dress scolded secretly in her heart, her face full of anxiety.

The old Taoist smiled even more happily, and said to Qing Xiaoxiao, "Little girl, you and I have met for the second time... Meeting is fate, there was something to ask for before, and I hope the little girl will understand what I have done. The Taoist has something entrusted to you by his brother and sister, please take it away. With that, the Taoist handed an antique token to Qing Xiaoxiao.

Qing Xiaoxiao took the token and looked at the word "Qing" engraved on the token, tears oozed from the corners of her eyes. Barely holding back her tears, she saluted and thanked the Taoist.

The Taoist wanted to say more, but he couldn't bear it, so he smiled and said, "Little girl, if the Taoist is dozens of years younger, he will definitely be the little uncle of the stinky boy", and disappeared in place.

Qing Xiaoxiao was stunned on the spot, and the corners of her mouth scolded angrily, "Old color embryo...", a layer of sweat had already grown in his hand holding the token, and a chill suddenly appeared on his face, "Ancient Qing family, sister, you have suffered..."

The crossbowman was in a silent space at the moment, and somewhere in that space, two figures slowly walked in, a man and a woman.

How familiar and distant the two figures were. When she saw the crossbowman, tears welled up in the woman's eyes, and the man was expressionless.

The woman said with a crying voice and a pampering look in her eyes, "Xia'er, you are still here after all, don't blame your father and mother for being ruthless, everything is already doomed." Ah Niang hopes that you will not live in pain in the rest of your life, and do not explore the truth, find a girl you like, and live this life peacefully. ”

After the woman finished speaking, she hid directly behind the man's back and became painful, the man didn't comfort him, just looked at the crossbowman, his face slowly showed love, and said with a wry smile, "Rabbit cub, Ah dad is going to break his promise... Remember what your aunt said. ”

The two figures turned around and slowly disappeared into space.

The crossbow man didn't cry this time, and he didn't cry until the figure disappeared for a long time...

In Nanyun Capital, in a majestic house, a long white dress is standing in the pavilion of the viewing lake, watching the fish in the lake swim around, and a burly middle-aged man is on the side. The man said gently, "Luoluo, according to what you said, when will the crossbow nephew come to Beijing, do you want to give it to the king." ”

The white dress shook her head lightly, and sprinkled the fish food in her hand into the lake, causing a splash...

In the imperial palace of the capital, in the imperial garden, the man in the dragon robe took the secret letter in the hand of the chief manager of the king, looked at it, smiled meaningfully, and the paper letter in his hand turned into dust...

In the Northern Alliance Ice Domain, the broad-robed Taoist walked into the wind and snow, and he didn't look back...
