I carried the old man's body back to his bed.

After that, I simply cleaned up the house and went back to my room. When I got back to my room, I took off my clothes and went to bed.

The next morning, I was woken up by the noise of the villagers. When I walked out of the courtyard, I saw that the villagers had all gathered in the old man's courtyard.

"Dao Chief, what's wrong with our village chief?" A man saw me come out and asked.

I took one look at the villagers and told them about what happened yesterday.

When the villagers listened, they were silent at first, but at last they began to talk in a whisper.

"Did you, a Taoist priest, kill our village chief?" A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

I looked into the crowd and saw a middle-aged man looking at me.

I glanced at the man and smiled, "Hehe, I really don't know why you have such an idea. However, your village chief is indeed possessed by a ghost. I don't care if you believe it or not, but I'm telling the truth. ”

"Dog, don't talk nonsense. If it's okay, you can go home and herd the sheep, it's really idle for you. An aunt looked at the middle-aged man and said.

The middle-aged man looked at me and walked off into the distance.

"Don't mind, Dao Chief. That bastard boy doesn't know anything, and he knows nonsense in one day. The aunt looked at me and said.

I shook my head and laughed, "Hehe, it's okay. It's all small things, and you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Dao Chief, what should we do next?" Someone in the crowd asked again.

"Next, you bury the village chief. Then you can discuss and see for yourself what is going on in the village. I'll help you with the village chief's burial. I said as I looked at the villagers.

After hearing this, the villagers all nodded. After that, everyone was not idle, and they also began to help deal with the funeral of the village chief.

And I took it here for a few more days, and only after the village chief's funeral was completely dealt with, did I say goodbye to the villagers. At this time, the villagers have elected a new village chief. The new village seems to be a practical person, and the villagers will not suffer if they follow him.

And I left the village early one morning, and when I left the village, the villagers had not yet woken up.

When I walked out of the village, I saw the man in black standing not far away.

I looked at the man in black and said, "Didn't you say you would come to me, but now I'm looking for you again." ”

After hearing this, the man in black spread his hands and said, "It's okay, this is the only way out of the village." If you want to leave the village, you have to walk here, and you will see me here. If you can't see it, you're blind. ”

I glanced at the man in black and thought to myself, although what he said made sense, it was a little too ugly.

After a while, I looked at the man in black and said, "Okay, you can take me to Qingyao first." I decided to go to her first, and then we went to my master and them. After settling my master and them, let's talk about my cultivation of Dao Qi. ”

"Okay, no problem. Everything is up to you, now I will take you to find Qing Yao. The man in black looked at me and said.

And just like that, I followed the man in black and started on his way. For the next month, we were still shuttling through the vast mountains.

Originally, we could have taken the main road, but the man in black refused to change his clothes. In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, we can only cross the mountains. But fortunately, we can walk in a straight line without having to take the main road to go around, so the time is also shortened a lot.

One evening, the man in black looked at me and said, "Alright, I'll almost send you here." Tomorrow you go over the mountain by yourself, and I think you will be able to find Qing Yao. When the time comes, you can come back here and look for me, and then I will take you to your master. ”

"Won't you follow me?" I asked, looking at the man in black.

After hearing this, the man in black smiled and said, "This is the matter of your little couple, what am I going to do with it." You can handle it yourself, I don't want to see something I shouldn't see. ”

"Hehe, yes, then you can wait for me here. Tonight, let's get some rest. With that, I leaned against the trunk of the tree and closed my eyes.

The man in black looked at me and didn't say anything, just threw some firewood towards the fire.

Early the next morning, I said goodbye to the man in black and walked towards the mountain in front of me.

The mountain doesn't look like it's big, but when I walked. I found the trail to be extremely difficult. It took me half a day to get halfway up the mountain. I figured I'd have to wait until night to get to the top of the mountain, at least. It seems that we have to wait another day to see Qing Yao.

In this way, I walked towards the top of the mountain step by step. By the time I reached the top of the mountain, it was nearly midnight. I walked up longer than I expected.

There are not so many trees on the top of the mountain, and it looks like there is grass all around.

Probably because of a tiring day, I lay on the grass weakly, letting the breeze blow across my face. I opened my eyes and looked out into the night sky, where the moonlight was unusually bright and bright.

Looking around, I felt as if my mind was relaxing.

At the foot of the mountain, there is an endless sea of forests. In the distance, some clouds can be seen. The moonlight shone on them, adding a touch of mystery to these.

I sat up and took a deep breath. For so long, I realized that I hadn't seen these beauties in a long time. Maybe I didn't have time to appreciate this at the time.

From time to time, there would be some insect chirping, as if it were a gentle song. When I close my eyes and feel carefully, I feel as if I am one with it all.

After a long time, I slowly opened my eyes. I glanced down the hill and found a leeward place to rest.

I woke up the next morning, just as the sky was just dawning. It can be said that I woke up cold, because I didn't light the fire. Fortunately, it was summer, and if it was winter, I thought, I would have frozen to death.

I stretched and looked at the eastern sky. I saw that in the east, there was already a white light.

Some scattered bird chirpings rang out in the woods below the hill at this time. Immediately afterward, more and more bird calls rang out one after another.

Soon after, the sun showed half of its face. Everything around seemed to be covered with orange gauze at this moment.

A smile twinked at the corner of my mouth, and I walked briskly down the hill. During the descent, although it was faster than the ascent, I had already eaten all the dry food I had brought with me, and I wasted a lot of time looking for something to eat. So, by the time I got into the woods, it was already dark.

"Alas, it seems that it will be delayed for another day, and if you want to see Qing Yao, you have to wait for tomorrow." I shook my head helplessly and muttered to myself.

Afterwards, I simply ate some wild fruits I found, climbed a tree and began to rest.

While listening to the insects around me, I enjoyed it all with my eyes closed.

As the time passed as I fell asleep, my consciousness began to dim.

Suddenly, a wonderful flute sounded suddenly. I was instantly awakened by the sound of the flute, and I looked around sharply. But the sound of the flute continued.

And this flute sounds extremely familiar. Isn't that the song I know? But some places are different, only roughly similar.

I hurried towards the place where the whistle sounded, and I almost tripped over a branch on the way.

Because there are very few people who know this tune. I'm the only one who can blow it, but how can anyone play it here?

I ran and ran, and there were fewer and fewer trees around me. And in the distance, I suddenly heard the sound of running water.

A moment later, I saw a river. I continued along the river towards the distance and came across a waterhole. There is a wooden bridge at the top of the waterhole and a pavilion in the center.

Inside the pavilion, there is a white figure. The figure looked like a woman.

The moonlight slowly shone down, and the surface of the pool was shimmering.

After a while, the sound of the flute gradually stopped. I think let's see who is playing this tune. Then I took out the flute I had brought with me and gently put it to my mouth and began to play. At the moment when the flute sounded, I vaguely saw that the figure trembled slightly.

Then, while playing the flute, I walked from the wooden bridge to the pavilion.

The figure slowly stood up, but she didn't immediately look back.

When I was halfway to the wooden bridge, I saw the figure clearly. The figure was indeed a woman, but her hair was all white. I think if she had black hair and matched her figure, she would have been a fairy-like woman.

I wasn't heading ahead because this person wasn't the person I was looking for.

But I still stopped in the middle of the wooden bridge and finished the whole song. When I put the flute down from my mouth, I looked at the woman.

I looked at the woman's back and asked, "Can you ask why Miss has this song?" ”

"I heard it from someone who was destined to hear it, but I think your song seems to be the original face of this song. I'm just blowing it. The woman said with her back to me.

I smiled and said, "Indeed, can I ask where the destined person you met is now?" ”

"She told me not to tell anyone if anyone came looking for her. So, you still don't want to waste your time. Please don't bother me, and get out of here. With that, the woman turned around slowly.

The moment the woman turned around, I saw that the woman was actually wearing a white gauze on her face. I can't see what she looks like.

Step by step, the woman walked up the wooden bridge and passed me shortly after.

Just as the woman passed by me, I smelled the smell of Qing Yao. Your taste is very light and light, but I'm sure it's indeed the smell of Qing Yao. I'll never forget that taste in my life.

In a hurry, I turned my head to look at the woman who had just walked by me and said, "Where is Qingyao?" I think you know who I'm talking about, tell me quickly. ”

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you. Listen to my advice, and leave quickly. The woman paused, then continued on her way.

"I'm not a reckless person, but if you don't tell me where Qing Yao is, I won't leave here." I said, staring at the woman's back.

The woman paused again: "Hehe, if you are willing to wait." Then you can just wait here, but in my opinion, it doesn't work. ”

After saying that, the woman ignored me and walked into the distance. I was left standing in the middle of the wooden bridge, stupidly stunned.
