After the eighteenth day in the forest, the three finally decided to leave for Beijing.

"Apprentice, let Xiaohu go back."

The three of them walked to the edge of the Yiyuan Forest under the leadership of Xiaohu, and looked at its reluctant eyes, as if they wanted to go to the capital with them.

Shi Qingqian nodded, and Xiaohu immediately rubbed up, slashing Shi Qingqian's cheeks with his furry hair, and his nose kept spraying hot air on Shi Qingqian's body.

"Okay, Xiaohu, you have to be good, you belong to the forest." Shi Qingqian rubbed Xiaohu's head, and blew the tune of recalling the Gu worm according to the way he remembered.

At the moment when the sub-Gu worm left the little tiger's body, its whole body was stunned, and its original round pupils returned to the state of a long shape.

Everything has spirituality, and after so many days of getting along, even if the sub-Gu worm is no longer in Xiaohu's body, it still hasn't immediately recovered its beast nature. Xiaohu looked at the three people in front of him in a daze, and its front paws kept pacing back and forth on the ground, as if trying to express something.

Eventually, it let out a vigorous roar and leaped and disappeared behind the trees.

Yu Banxian hit a fire fold and threw it into a pile of fallen leaves, "Disciple, throw the two mental methods on your body into it." ”

Shi Qingqian was shocked, "Master, why did you burn it?" What a pity to burn such a precious thing......"

"I, Yu Banxian, once swore to the heavens that I will only accept one apprentice in this life, and the exercises I created will only be passed on to one person, and now that you have memorized the two mental methods skillfully, there is no need for them to survive in the world," Yu Banxian stroused her beard and looked at Shi Qingqi, seeing that she was reluctant to burn the exercises like this, she understood in her heart.

"Disciple, you have to remember that the exercises don't have to be passed on by thousands of people to be valuable, and if these mental methods are learned by people with ulterior motives, it will be a catastrophe in the world."

Shi Qing pouted, but still nodded.

Yu Banxian is right, the peerless exercises, rather than allowing the gangsters to steal the learning, it is better to put them into a fire and turn them into ashes, which can be regarded as a protection of respect for the exercises.

She took out two rolls of bamboo and threw them into the raging fire in front of her.

"Boy, kowtow."

Yu Banxian looked at the bamboo slips that were gradually turning to ashes in the flames, with an unprecedented depth on his face. Perhaps it was finally taught the exercises recorded in the classics to his apprentices, so that he couldn't help but sigh, everything was finally settled, and these two bamboo tubes no longer had to follow him for half his life.

Shi Qingqian suddenly had a sense of responsibility, she knelt down uprightly, clasped her fists with both hands, and said: "The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven, the classic books and movements, are all for me, today's farewell, Qingqian promises that the exercises learned will never be used to make money and kill people!" ”

With that, she bowed her head deeply to the fire respectfully.

The flames gradually extinguished, and finally only a cloud of grayish ashes was left behind, which dispersed into the forest in front of them with the breeze.

"Let's go, go back to Beijing—" Yu Banxian shouted.

They took the remaining ornaments on Shen Shu and Shi Qingqi in a small town, and exchanged them for three horses and two roast chickens. It is not very far from the Yiyuan Forest to the capital, and it can be reached in one day by horseback riding, and it takes two days to get there if it is slow.

Considering Yu Banxian's advanced age, they decided to go slower.

"Master, have you sent a message to Ying'er?" Halfway through, Shi Qingqian suddenly remembered something and asked.

They all knew about Yu Banxian's transmission of the book to Xue Xue, and it was precisely because of this that they could stay in the deep forest for a few more days with more peace of mind. Xue Ying's body was planted with Gu worms by Yu Banxian, this kind of Gu worm does not harm the body, its only function is to make it easy for the Gu Addict to find her.

Therefore, the hundred birds sent out by Yu Banxian all went to Xue Ying because of the attraction of the Gu worm, and the letterheads passed on naturally went to Xue Ying's hands.

"It's been passed on a long time ago, your father and mother are waiting for you to go back!"

When it comes to her father, Shi Qingqian has an impulse in her heart that she can't help it, she is very like a fast horse and whips straight back, she wants to throw herself into her mother's arms, and hugs her and doesn't let go.

The closer they got to the capital, the more Yulinwei they would see. These people should have been sent by Shen Lun to find them. Shen Shu recognized Yu Linwei's official uniforms at a glance, but instead of calling them out, he pressed the hats he was wearing lower.

Most of Yu Linwei didn't know Shi Qingqian, so this time they all passed by without danger.

Shi Qingqian wondered, "Shen Shu, why do you look like a thief hiding from the officers and soldiers, they came out to look for you, not to kill you......"

"But I just don't want them to bring the news back before I go back." Shen Shu suddenly said arrogantly, "I'm still waiting to see Shen Xuan's expression when he saw me, if such a 'wonderful' scene is missed, then wouldn't it be a lot less fun for me to be missing for so long?" ”

Shi Qingqian suddenly realized that Shen Shu also had the attribute of having a black belly? Let his face directly bring a critical blow to Shen Xuan, and he can figure it out.

Stop-and-go, talk and laugh, the group soon arrived in front of the gate of the capital.

After passing the gate of the capital, the three of them looked a little ostentatious when they came together again, after all, Shen Shu and Shi Qingqian were both well-known figures in the capital, so they decided to part ways.

Shen Shu hurried straight to the imperial city, and Shi Qingqian took Yu Banxian back to the Hou Mansion together.

The housekeeper in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion was standing bored, and suddenly caught a glimpse of an old man and a young man coming over on horseback, and one of them looked at it and found ...... It's the young lady who has been missing for more than ten days!

"Little, Miss! You're back!? Quick, hurry up and report to the eldest lady! ”

The other person was shocked, and ran in as if he were flying when he heard the words.

"Master, be careful." Shi Qingqian jumped off the horse, turned around and helped Yu Banxian, he was carrying his 'net worth' on his back, so the dismounting action was a little difficult.

Shi Qingqian and Shen Shu both offered to help him carry it, but unfortunately Yu Banxian just refused.

The family Ding hurriedly stepped forward to lead the horse for the two, he was a little excited, and his eyes were already hazy with tears: "Miss, you can be regarded as coming back, these days the eldest lady and the marquis are looking for you like crazy, and we people can't settle down, I just hope that you can return safely, Miss." ”

This Ding is young, but he is very loyal to the Hou Mansion, when he was a child, he broke his leg in order to pick peaches from the tree for Shi Qingqian, causing him to walk with a limp now. So in this way, not only did he not seem contrived when he said it, but it filled Shi Qingqian's heart with a sense of warmth.

"Brother Alin, haven't I come back, I'm safe, nothing has happened." With a warm smile, Shi Qingqian let him lead the horse to the stable.

She and Yu Banxian were just about to go inside, only to hear the crying voice of the eldest lady: "Qi'er-"
