When Hu Xianxian arrived outside the gate of Deping Le'an, it was already late, and he saw that the gate was closed, and a small figure knelt by the gate. The night was dark, the evening breeze was blowing, and the shadows of the swaying trees were like monsters showing their teeth and claws.

"I'll wait for you to get to the end." Hu Xianxian whispered, leaning on the stone lion at the entrance of the nunnery.

There was no doubt that the person kneeling was the one who knelt, she didn't answer, and Hu Xianxian didn't speak again. Until the beginning of the hour, no one came out of the hermitage.

Undoubtedly, tired and thirsty, his knees were numb with pain. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, and they dried on their own, and they dried and then they got wet again.

She raised her heavy eyelids, looked at Hu Xianxian and said, "If my master doesn't agree with me to switch to the Daomen, I won't worship you as a teacher, if you can't wait, you can go first." ”

Her lips were undoubtedly chapped and bleeding, and her voice was low and subtle. If it weren't for Hu Xianxian's excellent hearing, she wouldn't have been able to hear what she was saying.

"I'm bored, and I just want to wait to see how this ends." Hu Xianxian agreed with a smile.

She wanted to rush in and ask what Cikong meant, she would have done it before. Now she doesn't do it, not because of the prejudice that Buddhism and Taoism are competing against the door of paganism, but because she has to respect her own ideas.

At the end of the hour, the door of the nunnery opened, and a thin old nun hurriedly stepped out of the threshold.

"Undoubtedly...... Silly kid...... Senior Sister Ci Xuan, Senior Sister Ci Wei didn't tell me that you came back at all...... "The old nun is Cikong, and she undoubtedly holds it up with both hands.

Undoubtedly, his legs were sore, he couldn't stand firmly, and he was about to fall down as soon as he got up. Cikong was bending over to help her, making her unstable and about to fall together.

Hu Xianxian jumped up, grabbed the two of them, and then took the undoubtedly from Cikong's hand, and laid her flat on the ground.

Cikong looked at her in a little surprise, she first massaged her legs, activated the meridians, and then fed a few drops of flower dew.

After a while, he undoubtedly got up slowly, walked up to Cikong with his head down, and asked, "Master, the apprentice is not filial......

Cikong patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are very filial, very filial." I stopped you from running around for your father's affairs, because I was afraid that you would cause trouble, how could I really disown you as an apprentice? It's that my master is incompetent, it's not that you are unfilial. ”

Cikong took the undoubted hand and walked towards Hu Xianxian, and said sincerely: "The poor nun is old and frail, and many mundane affairs are not handled thoughtfully, please don't blame Yuanjun." ”

Cikong only had a very faint aura fluctuation on her body, but she called Hu Xianxian "Yuanjun", that is, she knew that Hu Xianxian was a level.

This shows that Cikong perceives Hu Xianxian's cultivation entirely by his heart, and such a human heart must be generous. Hu Xianxian smiled kindly at her: "Master Cikong teaches well, and he admires him very much. ”

"Undoubtedly he has not yet received full ordination, and he can return to the world. Even if she had received full ordination, the Buddha would not blame her for switching to Taoism. The two junior sisters of the poor nun are prejudiced, and they ask Yuanjun for forgiveness. ”

"Ha, all thoughts rise and fall, and there is nothing to forgive." Hu Xianxian laughed out loud, holding his arm and saying, "You heard what Master Cikong said with your own ears, right?" Come with me. ”

Undoubtedly, he looked at her, looked at Cikong again, and asked in a low voice, "Just left?" ”

Hu Xianxian hurriedly replied: "Of course just leave like this, do you still want to have a 'apprentice war' for you?" ”

Undoubtedly, he broke free from Hu Xianxian's hand, ran to Cikong and knelt down, and got up after nine bows.

Cikong pulled her with tears in his eyes, "Good boy, good boy, get up quickly...... Master is not as capable as Hu Yuanjun, you have to follow Hu Yuanjun to practice well......"

Hu Xianxian's nose was sour, she endured this uncomfortable feeling, crooked her mouth and smiled: "Why do I think I am like a human trafficker?" Don't be so sad and eager, come back often in the future when you have time. I don't have those inexplicable gateway views, and Gen Tzukong is still your master. ”

Undoubtedly, she followed Hu Xianxian step by step, and Cikong waved her hand at them, until she couldn't see the figure clearly, and she was still waving.

There is no doubt that he has been walking with Hu Xianxian for a long time, and his already painful leg is about to break, and Hu Xianxian has no intention of stopping. She couldn't stand it anymore and asked in a low voice, "It's almost dawn, where are we going to stay?" ”

"Accommodation?" Hu Xianxian smiled dumbly, she was used to it alone, and she forgot that she undoubtedly needed to eat, drink, and sleep.

Hu Xianxian stopped in place, looked for a clean open space under the tree, and picked up a few dead branches to light a fire.

She sat down by the fire and patted the ground beside her, signaling to sit down.

"I'm still thinking about my master, are you angry?" Undoubtedly, he crossed his arms and knees, and asked in a low voice.

"You're not my lover, you think about Master Cikong, why am I angry? I know you have a deep relationship with Venerable Cikong.

Your mother died so miserably, and your father doesn't feel sorry for you, Master Cikong has given you a lot of warm care in recent years, and you should remember her kindness forever.

Besides, even if I have the heart to fight with her, I will win, why am I still angry? ”

Hu Xianxian shook her eyebrows and smiled, undoubtedly seeing her strange appearance, she stuck out her tongue and laughed.

"You are so free and easy, you are a happy master."

"You need to be comforted right now, so I'll amuse you. I'm very harsh in teaching people, and you have to be prepared to be angry. ”

"I'm not afraid of being beaten and scolded, what's the point of being a little angry? I know that you are a really capable person, if I can learn your ability, I am not afraid of no matter how hard and tired I am. ”

Undoubtedly, looking at the jumping flames of the campfire, scenes of the past appeared in front of me.

"Do you think that if you have the ability, you can do what you want, protect the people you want to protect, and live as you want?" Hu Xianxian suddenly felt a sense of irritability in his heart, and his tone was a little rushed.

Undoubtedly, the eyebrows were lowered and the eyes were pleasing to the eyes, and the two of them sat so sullenly until dawn.

The morning light sprinkled all over the land, and he undoubtedly opened his eyes in a daze, rubbing his somewhat sore shoulders and neck.

As soon as she looked up, she saw that Hu Xianxian had already changed her outfit, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one else in this grove, she couldn't believe that the woman in front of her was Hu Xianxian.

Hu Xianxian has always been dressed up in the gaudy dress that day, undoubtedly thinking that she was like that, even if she wants to change her clothes, she should be wearing a Taoist robe. At this moment, she was wearing a plain linen dress and combing her pigtails, just like the young lady next door.

"You change your clothes, too." Hu Xianxian handed her a cotton dress, with an apricot yellow background and orange fine lines, exquisite and bright.

Undoubtedly, he took the dress and went to the back of the tree to change, Hu Xianxian chatted with her in a very pleasant tone: "In the future, your Taoist name will be 'Hang Wuyi', remember, right?" How old are you? Hey, call 'Master' to listen. ”

Hu Xianxian thought last night that even if he had the merit of going to heaven and earth, he had a lot of helplessness, so he thought of Cheng Haofeng, so he was displeased. She later thought that Cheng Haofeng might be doing something to lure the remnant soul of the black dragon, so could she have a "chance encounter" at the foot of Qinglong Mountain?

Today is July 19, the day he gave her a dress last year. She put on the dress he had given her, and then thought that she might be able to see him, and her face turned crimson unconsciously.

Undoubtedly, I really can't understand her, this shy young lady is her "master"? Thinking so, she still replied respectfully: "Okay, I will be Hang Wuyi from now on, and I will be fourteen years old on the eighth day of August." Hmmm......"

She paused slightly, and began to speak: "I...... Can I call you 'Auntie'? I don't want to...... Call you 'Master', Master has only one ...... in my heart."

Hu Xianxian pouted and muttered, "Ah...... Nun? Not bad either. Anyway, I don't care about these vulgar rites, whatever you want to call them. ”

When she came out with her dressed, Hu Xianxian took her hands and turned around, and said with a smile: "It fits well, you look pretty in your dress." We have something to do today, and tomorrow we will officially hold the apprenticeship ceremony, and this dress will be regarded as a welcome gift for you, who is a master. ”

Hang Wu nodded in thanks, she liked the apricot yellow dress very much, and her mood seemed to be brighter than when she was wearing the gray monk's robe.

Hu Xianxian looked at her head and felt a little incongruous. Hang Wuyi hadn't shaved his head for nearly two months, and his short hair was full of unkempt hair, looking like a scarecrow in a yellow dress.

Hu Xianxian took out a comb and two yellow ribbons from his sleeve and tied her with two cupola mustaches.

"Well, it's still a little awkward to look at, and it will look good when your hair grows a little longer." Hu Xianxian looked at her for a while, and then asked, "You will soon be fourteen, I see that you are just ten years old, and you will have to eat and sleep more in the future to grow well." ”

As he spoke, Hu Xianxian handed her a piece of mung bean cake. After Hang Wuyi took the cake, when he saw that there was only one piece of cake, he asked first: "Auntie, what about you?" ”

"I can skip eating or drinking, and besides, I don't want to eat at this moment." She thought to herself, if she could see Cheng Haofeng and eat with him, she would be able to eat deliciously.

After Hang Wuyi ate a piece of mung bean cake and two pears, Hu Xianxian conjured up a bubble and went down to Qinglong Mountain.

"Auntie, are we going to the righteous mound of Gaojia Village at the foot of Qinglong Mountain?"

"Do you know that there is a mound in Gaojia Village?"

Hang Wuyi replied with some sadness: "My father is buried there." After his bones were burned, the government asked me to bury him. We are outsiders, we have no land to build graves, and we have no money to buy land. When I was worried, Uncle Cifu said that he knew the senior monks of Shanfu Temple and could help me ask for a tomb in Gaojia Village. ”

"Really? Where is your father buried? Great, let's go to the grave and have a look. ”

Hu Xianxian was worried that he couldn't find an excuse to go to Yizhuang to reminisce about the old times, but he didn't expect Hang Lao to be buried in the righteous mound in Gaojia Village. The father who took his apprentice Huaisi to pass away, this reason is really above board.

Hang Wuyi asked in a low voice: "Great?" ”

She looked at Hu Xianxian, who was almost about to cheer, and her heart was filled with a strange feeling.

Hu Xianxian saw that her expression was strange, and hurriedly explained: "I mean I am about to go to Yizhuang below Gaojia Village, and it is really good that our master and apprentice can walk together, I don't think that it is too good for your father to be buried in Yizuka." ”

The righteous mound in Gaojia Village was built by the joint efforts of many parties, so that those who are difficult to have a place to be buried can be buried in the ground. The death of a loved one is a sad thing, and it is even more sad that there is no place to be buried, Hu Xianxian slipped away happily for a while, but he would not joke about these things.

After they landed, they first went to the righteous mound outside the village of Gaojia Village, and saw hundreds of tombs lined up in the sparse grass. The last group of villagers were relocated last year, and the village is no longer inhabited. Hu Xianxian followed Hang Wuyi to Hang Lao's grave, remembering the past, and many emotions came to his heart.
