I took Luo Hui out of the community, took a taxi, and went straight to Baiyun Mountain in the west of the old city.

Baiyun Mountain was originally a barren mountain, and there was a Baiyun Taoist temple on it. Baiyun Mountain is actually the back mountain of Lingshan, but because the scenery is not much, it has not been developed, and later a group of students accidentally discovered that there are large peach blossoms on this mountain that are not lost to Lingshan, and took photos and published them in magazines, **This mountain was developed. But even so, because the Baiyun Mountain itself is difficult to walk, the road is not very repairable, and finally the repair stopped for about three years, before the front mountain of Baiyun Mountain has been built to the location of the Baiyun Taoist Temple, and the Baiyun Taoist Temple is located at the top of the peach blossoms in the front mountain. But no one knows that there is an abandoned garden behind the Baiyun Taoist Temple, from the back door of the garden, it is the back mountain of Baiyun Mountain, the back mountain has almost primeval forest, but there is a large area of lilies, and a lake, in summer, the cool breeze hits, and the fireflies are lit at night, which is very beautiful.

I also benefited from my relationship with the third brother, and every year when the lilies were at their best, he would invite me to sit by the lake and enjoy the cool summer breeze, which was my best summer resort before I had air conditioning in my house.

I paid the fare, and then I got off with Luo Hui, walked all the way up the mountain road, and passed through the peach blossom forest, which is Baiyun Temple.

Luo Hui panted and followed me to climb the mountain hard, and asked, "It's October now, isn't the lily blooming period long over?" ”

"That's somewhere else" I walked up the front easily, from time to time back to stop and wait for him, no way, after all, it is a noble son, I am afraid that I don't exercise much on weekdays, this mountain is high, far less than the floor where my master lives, the master he lives on the 32nd floor, and there is no elevator, every time I go I climb the stairs to go up, I have already practiced a good kung fu, this small hill is not worth mentioning in my eyes, I climb this mountain as if walking on flat ground, no breathing.

Seeing that Luo Hui finally climbed to my side, I continued to walk up, saying as I walked: "Indeed, generally the lily flower flower is from April to July, but if it is well maintained, it can be opened until October, and the place I want to take you to is a hidden forest behind my third senior brother's Taoist temple, others don't know, so you can't say it, you have seen my senior brother, you should know that he likes to be quiet, if you say that there are more people going out, my senior brother will be annoyed, and he may not recruit a few ghosts to pester you." ”

Luo Hui was still thinking about waiting for the matter to be done and bring his family to see it, but when he heard this, he shuddered, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore, seeing that I was walking like flying, he had to try to keep up.

About half an hour later, I could see the gate of Baiyun Temple in front of me, and the boy guarding the door had sharp eyes, and when he saw me coming, he turned his head and ran to the temple, shouting while running: "Master, master, your daughter-in-law has come to see you!" ”

I was angry and funny when I heard this, and I was angry that after so many years, this guy actually told the new disciple that I was his daughter-in-law, and the laughing thing was that this little Taoist priest had a sharp and thin voice, not like a boy.

"Daughter-in-law?" Luo Hui had already followed me to the last step at this time, gasping for breath and asking, "Isn't the Taoist family not allowed to marry a daughter-in-law?" When I came over, why didn't I hear your brother say that you were his daughter-in-law? ”

I rolled my eyes, the little Taoist priest is about to be newly accepted this year, because the previous little Taoist priests in this Taoist temple have grown up now, one or two were beaten by me and warned not to talk nonsense, and I didn't see him guarding the door before, my senior brother has a problem, that is, the new disciple must first do a few days of work in the firewood room, and then he can officially get started, and the first task after the entrance is to guard the door of the Taoist temple. This little disciple has only seen me once, or when he was introduced, when I went to find the third senior brother because of some things, he saw that I was good-looking, so he asked the third senior brother who I was, but the third senior brother said calmly while practicing the sword: "That's my daughter-in-law, your senior sister." "I went away at that time, and when I went down with my senior brother and turned around to warn the little disciple, the person had already slipped away and disappeared, and then I turned over the entire Taoist temple and couldn't find it, so I had to go down the mountain and go home, but I didn't expect this guy to appear again now. Glancing at Luo Hui with a question mark on his face on the side, one head was bigger than two, so I had to explain stubbornly: "I am not yet 32 years old, just 30 years old, my third senior brother suddenly dragged someone to give me a sword, I saw that the sword out of the sheath shadow about the sound of the phoenix, under a closer look the sword body is extremely light and thin, and can even transmit light, I can't put it down, so it hung in my bedroom, but, but the day after I received the sword, the senior brother came with a letter, saying that since I had accepted the phoenix sword, it was his daughter-in-law, I looked at the letter and was dumbfounded, As a result, there was a line of small words written at the end of the letter, saying that because the one in his hand is the dragon sword, mine is the phoenix sword, the dragon and the phoenix have been a pair since ancient times, and I should be his daughter-in-law! ”

"Isn't that good? Li Daochang is suave and suave, a talent, aren't you a good match for the master? Luo Hui looked puzzled, and looked at me as I gritted my teeth and walked up.

"What a big-headed ghost!" I turned around and yelled at him, "How old is he!" Yes? 26 Ah! How old am I? I'm 32! How can anyone in their 20s marry a daughter-in-law who is 6 years older than him! What will the world think of me! Do old cows eat tender grass?!! Besides, if he agrees, can his mom and dad agree??!! And my mother, I have a phobia!! After yelling, my face turned a faint red with anger, and I couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm my mind. Looking at Luo Hui, who was looking at me like a dumbfounded, I couldn't calm down my anger, and said angrily: "What are you looking at?!" I've never seen a woman call herself an old lady! ”

"No....... it's not ............." Luo Hui came back to his senses, looked at me cautiously and said, "Androphobia? ”

"Ahh I scratched my head irritably, but I didn't expect my privacy to be blown out by myself, so I turned around and continued to walk up, saying as I walked: "Yes! So when you scratch me, I struggle, as long as I touch a man's limbs, I feel uncomfortable, and when it was severe, I would have allergies! Satisfied? Why don't you hurry up and come up for me! Believe it or not, I left you! ”

Luo Hui hurriedly climbed up a few steps, and saw that my expression had basically returned to normal, so he said carefully: "But I think, how to say, you don't look very big, and the relationship is about it, how do you know if it's okay if you don't try it?" ”

My already calm mind was ignited by this sentence again, this time I was really furious, turned around and yelled: "You crawl for me!" Absolutely not! Holy! Will you die if you don't say a few words! ”

"Little junior sister, how many times have I said it, don't be rude and unelegant!" When I was frying my hair, a faint man's voice floated out of the top of my head, I turned to look, only to see the third senior brother Li Xu was standing at the door of the Taoist temple with a whisk, the mountain wind raised his cyan robe, with a little mist on the top of the mountain, there is really a feeling of feathering and ascending to the immortal, but I haven't seen him for three years, he looks like he has grown a lot, starry eyebrows and sword eyes, red lips and white teeth.......... ahh What was I thinking!

I shook my head hard, blaming Luo Hui for what he said just now, my brain is not normal! I took three steps and two steps up the last few stone steps, stood in front of him, and gave him the wine and said, "I want to go into the mountain!" Give me the key! With that, he stretched out his hand and turned his head away from him.

Li Xu took the wine and smiled faintly, but ignored me, bowed slightly to Luo Hui who climbed up behind me and said, "I haven't seen you for two days, and Little Master Luo is back again, it's really fate." As he spoke, he had already handed the wine to the little Taoist priest who had just reported and said, "Take it and put it away." ”

"It's the master!" The little Taoist priest took the wine, ran away with a cigarette.

Seeing that he actually ignored me, I was angry, so I didn't say much, and directly used the Nebula Moon Stealing Hand, and went straight to his waist, but before my hand reached his waist, he grabbed his wrist and took it into his arms, and when I reacted, I heard him laugh low above my head: "It's only been more than a year, does the little junior sister think of me like this?" I struggled hard, but unexpectedly he pulled me tighter, almost 0 distance, I couldn't struggle, my whole body began to feel uncomfortable again, and I thought that Luo Hui was still watching, I couldn't help but feel like a fire, gritted my teeth and whispered: "You let go of me!" ”

"Huh? How? Can't help but throw a hug on me? Don't be afraid of men, huh? The beautiful bass lingered in my ears, I was inexplicably weak, I naturally knew why it was already in love, and I couldn't help but be more annoyed in my heart, but I couldn't struggle for a while, so I had to close my eyes and let him go.

Fortunately, he didn't intend to make things difficult for me today, so he let go of me after just hugging me for a while, straightened my messy sideburns, swept my clothes again, and said with a smile: "Little junior sister looks good in this dress, but here." He said and stretched out his hand and said, "Your method of tying the strap is wrong again, didn't I tell you, this strap has to cross the front and back twice, and then put it here" He carefully sorted it out for me, and kept saying: "Look, you have to go through it like this, do you understand?" Well? After arranging my clothes, he walked inside, and said as he went, "I know you have something to do, but you have taken care of your guests, and you have climbed the mountain for half an hour, and I am afraid that it is time to be thirsty, so you can always let others drink a cup of coarse tea before entering the mountain?" ”

I followed him in, looked back at Luo Hui, and saw that his mouth was indeed a little chapped, so I said, "It's okay, I'll have a cup of tea too!" ”

"That's it, how old are you, and you're still so careless, no wonder you haven't made a single order all these years." Li Xu led the way to the tearoom in front, and didn't forget to tease me as he walked. I gritted my teeth with hatred but was helpless, who made me unable to beat him!

Bypassing the main hall, the right side of the back of the main hall is the tea room, Li Xu took off his shoes, and the little Taoist priest who was there had already pushed the door open for us, and I also took off my shoes, and saw that Luo Hui was still at a loss there, so he said: "You also take off your shoes and come up, my senior brother's three friends of the cold are a must, and you are blessed today." Luo Hui hurriedly took off his shoes when he heard this, and I saw that he even had holes in his socks, so I couldn't help frowning, but I couldn't say anything, so I turned around and followed my senior brother into the inner room.

The inner room is still lit with his homemade peach blossom fragrance as always, I smell this smell, and I can't help but feel a lot more comfortable, but I saw my senior brother take out a set of purple sand tea sets, and wondered: "Why did you change this time?" Isn't it the usual set of rabbits used to build kilns? ”

"That set of quilts accidentally broke a gap, how can the broken things be used to entertain guests, this set was given by your senior brother." Li Xu was already boiling water to clean the tea set, and I beckoned Luo Hui to kneel on the futon in front of the tea table.

After Li Xu finished cleaning the tea set, he got up and went to the low cabinet behind him to take out a sealed ceramic jar, sat back down in front of the tea case, raised his hand to open the jar, and a faint fragrance of plum blossoms mixed with the smell of slightly pine needles came to his face, Luo Hui sighed and asked, "This is tea made of plum blossoms and pine leaves?"

Li Xu was sandwiching the tea leaves into the teapot at this time, and said with a smile: "I have heard that the little son of the Luo family is sensitive to the taste of wine, and he can know the recipe of the wine just by smelling it, but he didn't expect to be so proficient in tea." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be" Luo Hui hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's only because this smell has smelled at grandpa before, so I have a bold guess." ”

"Yes" Li Xu scooped a spoonful of water from a bamboo scooping spoon into the copper stove on the charcoal fire on the side, poured it into the teapot, shook it gently, and poured out the waste water: "When I lost a game of chess with Mr. Luo before, I gave him a can, but the old man still likes it?" ”

"Grandpa is full of praise for that tea," Luo Hui said, "But the old man said that no matter how you brew it, you can't brew the taste of it." ”

I smiled and said, "That's because it's a lack of taste!" Am I talking about that, brother? ”

"Yes, my sister is smart." Li Xu glanced at me with a smile, scooped up water into the teapot, closed the lid, and waited quietly for the tea to brew.

"Can you tell me which one?" Luo Hui saw that we were all quiet all of a sudden, and couldn't help but ask

"Luo Gongzi is smart, you might as well guess?" Li Xu said with a smile, when Luo Hui was thinking silently, he picked up the teapot, poured all the tea through the strainer into the teacup, and then took out three cups, poured the tea one by one, brought the cups to us, and drank a cup slowly.

I also took my own cup, I have never had any resistance to this small and cute thing, the tea seems to complement each other more in the purple sand, I smelled the tea, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so fragrant!" Although it's not the first time I've drunk it, I still think this tea is really fragrant! ”

"If you like it, when you come back when you're done, I'll prepare a jar for you, and you can take it home and drink it." Seeing that I had finished drinking the cup of tea, Li Xu took the empty teacup from my hand, added a new cup of tea and handed it to me.

Here Luo Hui took a sip and tasted it carefully, but shook his head and said: "I'm very good at wine, but I really can't drink this tea, I just think it's very fragrant, and it's sweet in the mouth, but grandpa's tea doesn't have this sweet taste." ”

Li Xu heard the words but smiled silently, I drank the second cup of tea, put down the cup and said, "I'll give you a hint, which are the three friends of the year?" ”

"I know this, it's pine, plum blossoms, and bamboo!" Luo Hui said: "But there are only pine leaves and dried plums in this tea!" Where does bamboo come from? ”

I smiled and said, "You don't know, this bamboo is this water!" Seeing that he was puzzled, thinking that he didn't understand what I meant, I explained: "The water that my senior brother uses to make tea is to hollow out the bamboo, take the winter snow water and boil and filter it, pour the water into the bamboo tube and seal it, and hide it in the well cellar, put it for a while, the water will have the taste of bamboo, and the water will be taken out and boiled to make tea, which has this sweet taste." ”

Luo Hui suddenly realized: "Oh! So that's the case, which means that my family will never be able to soak this kind of taste? ”

"Fei Ye" Li Xu smiled, raised his hand to refill the cup for him, and said, "Isn't bamboo very simple for the Luo family?" Mountain spring water is also easy to get, after all, the Luo family brewing family, in the ancient method there are also a lot of wine that needs to be made from bamboo, such as bamboo wine, that is, after the young bamboo retreats in the Qingming Dynasty, make a small hole near the bamboo knot, pour the prepared liquor into it with a small amount of syringe many times, and then take local materials, seal the hole with a small wooden stick, wait for 2 months to half a year, let the wine mature with the bamboo, and wait for the fragrance of the bamboo to penetrate into the wine, it will become an amber bamboo tube wine. And mountain spring water has been a good water source for brewing since ancient times, so there must be a few secret water source bases in the Luo family, right? As for the cellar, digging a cellar in the back garden of your Luo family's villa is probably possible, right? ”

"That's right!" Luo Hui slapped his thigh: "It's still Li Dao who is taller!" I didn't think of this solution! When you turn back, you must tell the old man to go! ”

Talking and laughing, before he knew it, the three bubbles had been drunk, Li Xu got up and said, "It just so happened that the sky was getting dark, Xiao Luo!" Xiao Luo! As he called, a little Taoist priest Dengden ran over, pushed open the door and asked, "Is the master called an apprentice?" "En" Li Xu said: "Take this Luo Gongzi to bathe and burn incense, and then change his clothes." ”

"It's getting dark!? Yikes! I haven't done business yet! Luo Hui hurriedly said: "You don't need to take a shower and change clothes!" ”

"No, it's a necessary precursor," I got up and said, "I've got to wash it too, and I've got something else to prepare, so you can go first." ”

"But!" Luo Hui hurriedly said: "It's almost night!" ”

"It's just the night" I got up and walked out of the tea room, put on my shoes again, turned to Luo Hui who was still standing up in the tea room and said: "It takes time to fall asleep, 10 o'clock in the evening is the best time to fall asleep, this will be after taking a bath, by the way, it is not too late to set off with a vegetarian meal, it should be exactly ten o'clock over there." ”

When Luo Hui heard this, he had to follow the little Taoist priest named Xiao Luo. Li Xu saw that he was walking away, so he looked at me and asked with a smile: "Do you want senior brother to go with you and take a mandarin duck bath by the way?" ”

"Mandarin duck bath, you big-headed ghost!" I spat at him: "I don't know what you're thinking in your head, it's just a matter of preaching everywhere that I'm your daughter-in-law all day long, and now I even dare to say Mandarin Duck Bath!" I can tell you, I'm not your daughter-in-law! ”

"Don't be angry, daughter-in-law, it's not good to be angry" Li Xu smiled and grabbed my hand and walked towards the abandoned garden, saying as he walked: "You are just worried about what you are older than me, my parents don't agree or something, I tell you, don't those idle minds, Feng Yinjian has recognized you, there is no reason why you are not my daughter-in-law." ”

I broke free of his hand, and walked to a big rock in the garden, and said as I went: "you, you watch, wait until your parents know that you gave me the Fengyin Sword, and you must not be killed!" Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and prepare what I want, and if you haven't given me anything after I have taken a shower and finished eating, I'll chop you! ”

Li Xu laughed when he heard this: "Chop me? Just your three-legged cat kung fu? ”

I was so angry that I turned around and kicked over, but Li Xu didn't panic, his body flashed and he was already 5 meters away, and said with a smile: "Hitting is kissing and scolding is love~ Anyway, I think you, you don't want to escape the palm of my hand in this life." After speaking, he didn't wait for me to react, and walked away.

"I'm!" I stomped my foot hard, turned around and walked to the edge of the stone, felt a crane carving on the stone, pressed it lightly, only heard a few booms, and the middle part of the stone actually collapsed, revealing a small stone step with a burning lantern.

"Alas, the location of this organ has been changed again, senior brother" I shook my head and sighed, and walked down, and at the end of the road was a large basement, where there were already two female Taoist priests waiting, and when they saw me coming down, they smiled and said, "Miss Mo, please come with us." "I glanced at them, but they were familiar faces, the one on the left holding a set of civilian clothes was Xiushui, the one on the right holding a towel was Ruoshui, the two were twins, both were with hair practice, the city only knew that there was a Baiyun Temple, in fact, there was a female nunnery behind this Baiyun Temple, called Bailingguan, and Baiyunguan only accepted male Taoists, Bailingguan was only accepted female Taoists, it is said that Li Xu and his mother had practiced in Bailingguan back then, so I once seriously doubted whether Li Xu also had a leg with the female Taoist priest of Bailingguan, Otherwise, he is a big man, and when he has that kind of need, he will not be tempted to face a female Taoist priest of the entire Taoist temple? But my doubts were quickly broken by the current Taoist of Bai Lingguan, because she told me that because my senior brother was preaching that I was his future daughter-in-law every day, then the little Taoist priest in their temple met a little Taoist aunt of Bai Lingguan one day when he was collecting medicinal materials in the back mountain, and as a result, the little Taoist priest chatted with others, and revealed my name, along with the portrait that my senior brother painted for me, to the little Taoist aunt, and then the little Taoist aunt stole the portrait back. At this time, the entire Bailing Temple knew that the Taoist of the Baiyun Temple had already decided on someone. At that time, when the Taoist chief of Bailing Guan told me about this, he also joked with a smile that the female Taoist priest in her temple saw my portrait, and her heart was broken.

I soaked in the hot spring water, recalling the past and couldn't help but sigh, I knew the Bai Lingguan Taoist or because I just entered the teacher's door, once the Taoist came to my master to borrow an old peach wood sword, I and the third senior brother was in the front hall to practice swords, when she saw me and my senior brother for the first time, she smiled and said to my master: "These two children were born to be talented and beautiful, and they will become dragons and phoenixes in the future!" "I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now it seems that this sentence has been remembered by the senior brother, or why don't you give it away, do you have to give me a phoenix sword? Who in the Li family doesn't know, the dragon and phoenix double sword is his father's love token back then, it is said that it is his grandparents' generation of male and female double swords, and later when he turned eighteen years old, he was given to him by his father and mother as an adult gift, when the congratulatory gift I also went, his mother entrusted him with all kinds of advice, to grow up to meet his sweetheart can be given to her, but he did not expect to be given to me by him.

I thought to myself that if his father and mother knew about this, they would not fall out with him, I had seen his parents, and his mother was a good person, but his father was simply old-fashioned, if I knew that he had brought me this sword that symbolized love............

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh again, alas, what kind of face will I use to meet his parents in the future! After all, at the end of previous years, his mother would ask him to invite me to her house for the New Year!

Ruoshui saw that I kept sighing, so he asked softly, "Miss Mo is worried about Daochang Li calling you his daughter-in-law again?" ”

I lazily turned over in the water, and she wiped my back for me, and sighed: "I really don't understand him, let alone Bailingguan, with his appearance, how many young pilgrims rushed up the mountain as soon as they arrived at the Fahua Conference, and donated countless incense just to see him?" But he's good, he doesn't want so many young and beautiful women, why do you have to do me? ”

"We don't dare to speculate on this" Xiushui took the incense utensils and smoked my casual clothes, and said: "But I see that Daoist Li seems to be sincere to the girl, otherwise I wouldn't have personally run to ask our Daoist Rouran to give you that sword when you were 30 years old!" ”

"Yes!" Ruoshui answered: "I heard that Daochang Li had a falling out with his family in order to give you the sword!" ”

"What?!" I was so shocked that I stood up directly from the water, turned around and grabbed Ruoshui, who was wiping my back, and asked, "His family knows that he gave me the sword?!!! ”

"Yes" Ruoshui was puzzled: "Listen to what our Taoist said, when he came out with a sword, Elder Li was still yelling at him behind his back, saying that if he gave you the sword, he would never go back to Li's house again." ”

"It's over!" I sat in the water and said, "It's over......... How can I see his father during the Chinese New Year this year! ”

When she was worried, a female Taoist priest's voice came from outside the hot spring pool: "Is Miss Mo okay?" The pilgrim who was traveling with her was ready, Li Daochang asked me to ask if the girl could finish bathing, and when she was done, she could get dressed and go out, Li Daochang had already prepared the props for the girl to use in her dreams, the door to the back mountain had been opened, and the girl could set off at any time. ”

"Oops! Finished! Patronizing and talking to you, I forgot the time! Fast! Hurry up and get your clothes! I hurriedly got up, picked up a towel from the shore, wiped myself dry, took the clothes handed over by Xiushui, and almost wore the underwear, shoes and socks in the panic.

After getting dressed, I hurriedly walked up the slope on the other side, and when I saw that I was about to reach the entrance of the cave, I tripped in a panic, and the whole person threw myself forward, but I didn't fall to the ground, but I threw myself into a familiar embrace, and looked up, who is it not the senior brother? He was looking at me with a smile and said, "It's okay, there's still time, don't worry, go slowly." I was helped by him, remembering the words they said when they were bathing just now, I couldn't help but blushed again, but this time I didn't break free, maybe I felt ashamed of him, after all, he insisted on giving me a sword, and was said by his own father, and now I'm afraid I can't even go home, it's really hard for him. I thought about it, but I lowered my head, and he helped me to walk slowly towards the entrance of the cave, but I didn't see a sly smile on the corner of his mouth.
