The mountains were covered with snow, Shen Zhiqing walked out of the study wrapped in a cloak, and she saw the snow scene of Yunxia Mountain for the first time, the jade tree Qionglin, like a silver dragon. Walking on the snow to the yard, a burst of dark fragrance is in the nose, looking for the fragrance and looking, a wax plum blooms brilliantly, the plum blossom is stained with a little crystal, as clear as fat jade. She closed her eyes and smelled the plum blossoms, and her heart was calm. When she opened her eyes, Qingping was already standing beside her, "Qingyun Division has news that your brother's place to fill the army has experienced a hard battle before, and luckily he still survived. Shen Zhiqing put her hand into her sleeve, she was glad that she finally had a family in the world. Do you remember that I told your mother that you were destined to be lonely, but in fact, Bai Xuan was your fate to the Red Luan Star. Now that the Red Luan Star has fallen, you have gone through the four sufferings of life, resentment, love and separation, asking for and not letting go, and the other four sufferings will not enter the reincarnation, from then on you will not grow old or die, and be lonely for life, until the Red Luan Star appears again. ”

Whether she is old or dead, lonely for life, now she is more willing to be a ruthless and desireless person, what about not falling into the cycle of eight sufferings. Qingping began to teach her exercises the next day, Shen Zhiqing had no foundation, and felt that she had to learn more slowly than others. However, no one in the same sect disliked her, Xuanqing said that she had deep spiritual roots, and even if the progress was slow, it would not affect her skills. It's just that Shen Zhiqing feels that she is too dragging others back, and when everyone has learned to carve luck symbols, she is still carving with a knife.

From winter to spring, the willow trees have begun to bud, and Yunxia Mountain has entered the scene of the recovery of all things. Although he has entered the door a little now, he has a little feeling of luck carving, but when it comes to practicing martial arts, Shen Zhiqing has no idea where to start, and the last time he held a sword, it was taught by Bai Xuan. This time, she held a peachwood sword in her hand and looked at it for half a night, wondering if this sword could be done in addition to doing things. Qingping also held a peachwood sword, and stabbed at the willow leaf a few steps away, and when the sword did not touch the leaf, the leaf had already opened a gap, and the sword went straight through the leaf, and the willow leaf did not move at all. Everyone was dumbfounded, and Qingping asked everyone to learn this trick these days. Every time Shen Zhiqing used light force, the sword didn't touch the leaves, and once the force was too strong, the leaves were scraped off. After practicing hundreds of times a day, she was almost discouraged, and she always felt that Liu Ye seemed to have wings, and she could always bypass her sword.

"Qingming is coming, let you go down the mountain today." When Qingping said to Shen Zhiqing, she looked up and saw the pear blossoms on the mountain, the cloud-like pink and white, wrapped in the breeze and wafting in a faint fragrance. She took a jug of wine and walked down the stairs. In the drizzle, she turned paper in front of her parents' graves to worship, she comforted her parents and tried to bring him back in his brother's lifetime. Next to the tomb is Bai Xuan's tomb. After Lin Yongqin's death, she and Han Zheng re-erected a new tombstone for Bai Xuan. She came to the tomb, next to the tombstone, where the red bean she had buried in the soil had sprouted and grown into a small seedling. She opened the flask, took out a wine glass, and filled it. "I don't know if you have crossed the Nai He Bridge at this time and drunk Meng Po soup. In this life, we will make a mistake, I don't regret meeting you, I only regret that I can't fight against creation. She spilled the wine in her glass, "May I still find you in the next life." She drank the wine in the pot, sat in front of the tomb, wiped the tombstone little by little, she picked up a bamboo flute, and played a song "Sauvignon Blanc". "The upper and poorest blue fall into the Yellow Spring, the two places are not visible, the wind is more, the snow is more, the dream of the broken hometown is not true, and there is no sound in the old garden."

"Therefore, the words are like in a dream, and Lai Deyan is flying." The years in the mountains are like a dream, if it weren't for the fact that the brothers and sisters often have family members who carry letters from the bottom of the mountain, Shen Zhiqing would have forgotten what day it was. After the disciples of the Pure Heart Guan practiced Qi and entered the Dan, they all looked old, and they couldn't tell their respective ages, so they had to be called the entry time in the morning and evening. Her only brother has not been heard from since many years ago, she has not been found, I don't know if Shen Zhiyun is still alive, if he is alive, it is estimated that he has now married and started a business, and his children are around his knees. Indeed, as Qing Xuan said, Shen Zhiqing practiced Qi into the Dan, and after entering the doorway, both the mental method and the martial arts skills have made rapid progress. Even though guns and cannons have been widely used under the mountain, they still practice martial arts with peachwood swords all day long, unless they use real swords in the annual martial arts drills; There are no strange // lewd skills such as taking objects in the air and passing through the wall. For the pure mind, in this peaceful place, it is enough for each family to have a skill. Shen Zhiqing asked Qingping for advice on the Feiyun Needle, and she improved it, and she was able to penetrate walls and objects a hundred steps away.

Qingyun Division's affairs Qingping was gradually transferred to her, and she realized that Qingyun Division did not have outside legends. They have their own set of codes, which can be used to transmit information to everything that can be seen and heard, and the sounds are arranged in a combination according to the length and number of times to form a code, and according to the secret code, the true meaning can be deciphered. Later, she learned that this method was the same as the Morse code. Later, Yamashita used more electricity, and Qingyun Division did not have a telegraph, etc., and still used the oldest way to transmit information, according to Xuanqing, "Everything is inseparable from its origin, as long as it is useful." "Qingyun Division is temporarily in a dormant period, almost not much affairs to take care of, Shen Zhiqing lives a very simple life every year, except for reading is practicing, his heart is as calm as water, like an old man who enjoys the quiet years.

And decades have passed in the world, her dynasty no longer exists, followed by warlord scuffle, even if the dynasty is changed, but the peace of the world that she sought back then has not been realized. It was snowing outside the window, and I didn't know what winter it was. Someone at the same door got the calendar card sent by the family, which was a picture of a big beauty. "Ouch, this woman is so beautiful now, you look at your hair curly like waves." The senior sisters circulated the calendar cards and sighed in their mouths. A few senior brothers took the calendar card and couldn't take their eyes off it. "Ahem." Xuanqing's voice came from behind, and everyone immediately collected the calendar card and sat upright. "Hey, it should be the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China now." A senior sister and a senior sister next to her chatted in a low voice, "Yes, we have been on the mountain for so many years. ”

If it weren't for Senior Sister mentioning it, Shen Zhiqing wouldn't have known that she had been in Qingxinguan for so many years. She went back to her study and looked in the mirror, as if the years had not changed her appearance in any way, and that she still looked the same as when she went up the mountain. Qingping asked someone to call her to go, "After the winter, I will go to Yunyou." You've been on the mountain for a few years, and when spring begins, you can go down the mountain and practice. ”

"Experience?" It was the first time Shen Zhiqing had heard of the term "experience". Qingping nodded, "The apprentices of my sect must go down the mountain to practice, in order to experience the suffering of the world and comprehend the flavors of the world. Some of them have come down before you go up the mountain. ”

"So how do I go through it?"

Qingping summoned a young man, petite, but handsome, "This is Qinghe, more than a hundred years ago, I picked him up at the bottom of the mountain, and raised him on the mountain." This kid has never come down the mountain, you can take him with you this experience. ”

"More than a hundred years old." Shen Zhiqing thought to herself, she can still be called a child at this age, but she looks like a half-grown teenager like this. Qingping saw her doubts, "Although Qinghe is very small, he is excellent in both internal strength and martial arts, but he is not an ordinary person from careful wisdom, and he still needs your guidance slowly." Qingping nodded to Qinghe, and Qinghe greeted timidly, "Okay." He didn't want to say a word more. Sure enough, it was not quite the same as ordinary people, Shen Zhiqing didn't know what he could do with this child down the mountain. "Boss, did Hongluan Star appear again?" Xuanqing came in and added charcoal to Qingping, and Qingping straightened his clothes on his body, "Yes, this time she can only handle it herself." ”

"Will that man still recognize her?"

"It's all fate, if it's no fate, it's also creation, it's up to her." Qingping spread out his hands and roasted in front of the charcoal fire.

Years later, the ice and snow melted, and Qingping prepared to go down the mountain to travel. Before Qingping left, he left Shen Zhiqing some gold bars and asked her to take Qinghe down the mountain. Shen Zhiqing saw that the experience of gold bars seemed to be too high, and was about to refuse, Xuanqing spoke, "There are many places where you need to use money to go down the mountain, and you still have to take Qinghe, you take the money first." ”

As soon as Qingping went to Yunyou, Shen Zhiqing took Qinghe down the mountain. Over the years, although she will still go to pay tribute to the tombs of her parents and Bai Xuan, she rarely misses the scenery of the world. This time, she went down the mountain to find that the world was no longer human. She returned to Qinghebang for the first time since she left. After so many years, Qinghebang doesn't seem to have changed anything, she can recognize every room back then, as if the years have not left a trace here. The streets were still so crowded, but in the midst of people coming and going, all she saw were unfamiliar faces. She found the home that had once been her own, now a grocery store, and the owner was a chubby woman who looked very kind.

She walked all the way with Qinghe, like a guest who came here for the first time. "Where are you going?" Kiyowa looked at her. Where to go? She didn't know, she wanted to see what had become of the place she once knew, but it wasn't too early, and if they hadn't found a place to stay, they might be sleeping on the streets today.

She walked to the square alley, which was already unrecognizable, and the place where Bai Xuan had an accident had also been demolished and turned into a street. She saw a storefront for rent at the corner of the street, "Let's settle down here, shall we?" Kiyowa looked at her a little puzzled. Indeed, this street is not very lively, what can you do here? When she came back to Xizhou, she only seemed to remember every location related to Bai Xuan in her mind, and she stayed here because of him. The next day, she and Qinghe hung a signboard on the door. "Shen Zuilou." The landlord looked at the signboard and congratulated Shen Zhiqing, "I can't see that the girl is very courageous, what will this restaurant do in the future?" ”

"I cook all hometown dishes, inherit some of my father's skills, and mainly ship dishes." When Shen Zhiqing was in the mountains, she tinkered with cooking skills in her spare time, and over the years, she used all the skills left by her father and improved them, and her cooking skills can be said to be on par with her martial arts, and she was praised by her peers. Now that she has come down the mountain, she will not do anything else, so she wants to open a restaurant, and it is not impossible to make a living with this, and Xizhou is rich in aquatic products, so it is more suitable to cook boat dishes. The landlord recommended his former old housekeeper Lao Liu Tou to Shen Zhiqing, and Shen Zhiqing gladly accepted and left him as the shopkeeper and bookkeeper. Within a few days, this Shen Zui Building was simply opened.

When it first opened, the restaurant business was naturally a little colder. Shen Zhiqing first made some wonton noodles, she followed her father's practice, using fresh fish, chicken bones and snails to make broth, the filling of the wontons also follow the season, the main mandarin fish wontons and fish skin wontons, etc., the landlord also helped to shout around. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Shen Zuilou to be known from far and near, and Shen Zhiqing recruited some more people, and the scale of this restaurant has expanded a lot compared to the first.

"Tell the neighbors that now Shen Zuilou is the same as before, and the neighbors drink pure tea, and we are all free; The store is big, we must not deceive customers, and we will treat everyone equally when ordering bowls of wontons and bowls of porridge. Shen Zhiqing explained to Lao Liu Tou and posted the notice. Sure enough, word spread among the neighbors that the proprietress of Shen Zuilou was young, beautiful and kind, and everyone came here. The days have finally stabilized in this life, Shen Zhiqing smiled and looked at the store, Xiao Qinghe was busy running around, still not talking much, and exchanged words with the guests at most, but the guests had a good attitude towards him. Although this child can't see how much skill he has now, he is kind, and when he sees a ragged beggar, he will run out to deliver a bowl of porridge. Because he didn't talk much, and he didn't talk about it when he saw people, Shen Zhiqing finally understood why Qingping called him to follow him.
