What does it mean to be free and easy? One person, one horse, one wooden cart. There is no worry behind you, nothing to worry about in front of you, singing in the mountains and wilderness, looking at the clouds and the sky, that is, free and easy.

Driving across the plains, running over the mountain roads, and raising dust, Pure Industry drove the carriage all the way to the east. There is indifference and calmness on his delicate face, if you look at it from others, it is estimated that he will say that he is so free and easy. But the pure karma is not free and easy at all, he just forcibly calms his mind.

Early in the morning, Jingye took Xiao'er to the morning market, bought some necessities, and bought a carriage by the way. Although Pure Karma gave most of his wealth to the thieves, what he left behind did not make him bother with all of them.

Coming out of the east gate of Chang'an City, Jingye drove all the way through Pulian Mountain, and came to the flat land behind the mountain, where there were few woods around, and the grass on the land was scattered and grown, and the gravel was occasionally seen on the side of the road and listened to the wind silently.

As for why Pure Ye didn't choose to use the teleportation array of the teleportation station to teleport, it was because from the moment he left the academy, he was no longer a disciple of the Sage Academy, so he couldn't go to the humble teleportation station outside the north of the city. In addition, Jingye didn't know where there was a teleportation station, so he could only drive the carriage directly to other cities and then teleport.

After a morning of driving, the scorching sun above the sky above the sky released a blazing heat and steamed the earth. Jingye found a shady place to stop the carriage, then carried Xiao'er out of the carriage, took out a small stool, and sat under a big tree.

"Little monk, we've been walking all morning, and we're not sure where we're going. He took the water cup handed by Jingye, took a sip with a smile, and asked softly. She didn't ask about pure karma along the way, but just followed him obediently.

Glancing at the pink jade bracelet on Xiao'er's wrist, Jingye smiled, took out the map of the Tang Kingdom that he bought in the morning, looked at the map and said, "Do you want to see fireworks?"

"Fireworks? I want to see it, I've always wanted to see it, but at night in Chang'an City, there are very few fireworks, which is a pity. Hearing the word fireworks, the smiling eyes lit up. I began to fantasize about a moment of beautiful sparks blooming above the dark night, and excitedly. She has been in Huamanlou for so many years, and she was fortunate to see fireworks once, or because Tang Wang encountered something that made her very happy, so she specially ordered someone to bring fireworks and bloom to celebrate.

"Then let's go to Yangzhou City, it is said that the old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March. Although it is now April, time has passed, but the fireworks in Yangzhou City in April are still very beautiful. Looking at the map, Jingye determined where they were going, and said softly to Xiao'er. He knew that the fireworks in March were talking about catkins like smoke, but at night in Yangzhou City, there were really fireworks gorgeous. This is what Master Pure Sea once told him, and he has not forgotten it, because Hanayan has always wanted to see fireworks.

"Is Yangzhou City far from here?" Xiao'er hadn't been to Yangzhou City, but she was very familiar with this place, so she asked Xiang Jingye softly.

"Not far, as long as we keep going east, tomorrow we will be able to reach Yangzhou City in half a day. Jingye calculated their speed and smiled warmly. A day and a half is not a long time. And Yangzhou City is the closest place to Chang'an City nearby, so it is also his mind.

Xiao'er thought about it when she heard this, but she couldn't think of anything in her little head, so she had to touch her cold jade bracelet and said coquettishly: "It's good to be there, and in the days when I come down, I will only have you." The thought of being able to watch the beautiful fireworks with the little monk is really a little impatient. ”

"Don't worry, I will accompany you in the future. There's you, and there's me. Jingye took out the pastry he bought for Xiao'er at the morning market from the thunder ring, and said softly as he handed it to her, filling the water cup by the way.

Pure karma is a cultivator, and his cultivation is at the sixth layer of the Qi Sea Realm, so he doesn't need much food anymore, unless he wants something delicious in his mouth. Although he doesn't need it, Xiao'er still has to eat well every day, not because she is an ordinary person and wants to eat. It's because she's the lover of Pure Karma, and that Pure Karma will definitely take care of her.

took the pastry, smiled and ate it in small bites, while Jingye kept talking about some interesting things on the side. They still had a long way to go, but no one was tired or worried. For people who love each other, as long as two people can be together, it doesn't matter what else is.

......

At this time, everything in Chang'an City was very calm, for that day

Empty change, among the people, no one opened their mouths to mention it.

In the Sage Academy, Wen Cang directly announced two orders. The first is that the disciples of the Nine Sages have been removed from the academy since then. The second is that the three sages have fallen unexpectedly, and their disciples will be temporarily managed by the five sages.

As soon as the two orders came out, everyone in the academy was shocked, but no one dared to spread these two things. Because Wen Cang said at the end of the order, Outsider, kill!

In a mansion in the city, in a study deep in the courtyard, a middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume arched his hand to the black-robed man in front of him, without saying a word.

The black-robed man was covered in dark purple smoke, and he couldn't see his appearance, he looked at the middle-aged man who was silent, and said in a hoarse voice: "My master has a life, from now on, you can prepare the things you want to do." ”

"Thank you, my lord, thank you Zuo!" the middle-aged man heard this, and hurriedly lowered his posture and said gratefully. No one knows how long he listened to the words and waited long.

The black-robed man glanced at the middle-aged man, and then spoke: "Remember, it's just for you to prepare! When to start working, when the time comes, I will naturally come back to inform you!"

"Thank you for the reminder, I understand!" the middle-aged man said in a deep voice without getting up.

"Hmm!" After the news was conveyed, the space writhed for a while, and the black-robed man turned around and was swallowed up by the black hole that emerged, and disappeared.

After the black-robed man left, the middle-aged man straightened his waist, looked at the mountains and rivers on the wall, and suddenly laughed loudly. He has been waiting for this day for more than twenty years, and it is finally not far away!

......

After eating some pastries, Jingye continued to hurry with a smile. At the front of the carriage, Xiao'er sat in the arms of Jingye, and the two of them grabbed the hemp rope together, their faces were very happy, blowing the breeze, and driving into the distance.

Passing through the plains, they came to a wide mountain road, the two mountains were far apart, and the road in the middle was winding. However, the road surface was relatively flat, and the carriage was a little less bumpy.

Taking advantage of the setting sun, Hongxia hung behind her, and Jingye asked Xiao'er who was resting in the car in a warm voice: "Xiao'er, it's getting dark, let's stay here tonight." ”

"Well, I'll listen to you. Xiao'er slowly moved behind Jingye and lay on his back, two thin white arms around his neck, and laughed softly.

No matter where the pure karma goes, she will follow, even though she knows that the ultimate destination is the Immortal Valley, but the scenery along the way cannot be disappointed.

"Okay, then I'll find a better place to stop. Jingye and Xiao'er pressed their faces and laughed softly. Then his gaze swept around him, quickly identifying where they were resting.

After a few turns in the wide mountain road, there is a small waterfall and a small lake at the bottom of the mountain, which is very flat and wooded.

Jingye drove the carriage to a large rock and stopped, carried Xiao'er out of the carriage, and then took some grain and grass from the groove in the back of the carriage to feed his horses. The boulder is right next to the lake, so you don't have to worry about the horses drinking water.

Holding Xiao'er and walking to the side of the stone, just the stone will block the evening breeze, and Xiao'er will not catch a cold. Urging spiritual power, Pure Karma soon brought a pile of firewood, lit a fire, and lit the warmth before the night came.

"Hungry?"

Looking at the slowly darkening sky, Jingye and Xiao'er sat in a row, holding her soft bones with their right hands, and asked softly.

"A little. Xiao'er looked at the vigorous fire in front of her and said coquettishly. Her heart was a little complicated, after all, this was the first time she had left Chang'an City. Usually I don't even have flowers all over the building. At this time, she was already sitting by the fire with her man, enjoying the silence, and she always felt that all this had changed too quickly.

"Then how about I grill a fish for you to eat?" Jingye looked at Xiao'er, pointed to the lake beside him, and said warmly. He chose to stop here, in addition to the open and flat surrounding area, and the most important thing is that there is a lake. This will not only provide the tired horses with water, but also a source of food.

Hearing this, Xiao'er looked at Jingye with doubts in her beautiful eyes, and asked, "Do you still bake things?"

"Of course, you'll see the whole process in a moment, I'll go catch a fish first. Jingye raised the corners of his mouth and smiled. Then he got up gently and came to the lake.

The spiritual power operated, and the pupils of pure karma turned into golden pupils, and he looked at Yu quietly

Dark lake water. The surface of the lake is constantly rippling, and the fish below are constantly swimming.

A ball of gold appeared in Jingye's hand, condensed into a tenacious golden thread. The pupils of the eyes kept swaying and turning, locking onto the prey, and the pure karma shot out with its fingers.

"Whoosh!"

The golden thread is like a long needle, and it goes straight into the surface of the lake, and there is no splash.

The gold thread in his hand shook, and Jingye knew that he had caught a big fish, and his right hand was raised, and the gold thread was pulled back. A fat fish flew out, was grasped by the pure karma, and died with a whimper.

After cleaning up the fish, Jingye returned to Xiao'er and began to grill the fish. Xiao'er looked at the big fish that was placed on the fire, and said in surprise: "Little monk, who did you learn this from? Aren't you a monk, how can you still grill fish to eat? Hurry up and give an honest explanation to this girl." ”

"It's actually a long, long story, but I'll tell you about it now. Let's talk about this grilled fish first, I entered the Pure Industry Temple when I was eleven years old, and knelt down in front of the Buddha to become a Buddha. But before that, I had lived in the mountains for a few years, and hunting and roasting meat was not difficult for me. Jingye slowly turned the branch in his hand while telling Xiao'er why he was baking.

When she heard it, she hummed, and then said softly: "I thought you were a monk and often secretly ran out to eat meat." ”

"Actually, you're not wrong, I do sneak out of the monastery and go to the mountains to catch some pheasants to eat, remember the forest hut I took you to, it was there. Hearing this, Jingye smiled and spoke. He didn't break the vows at the time, but he didn't think anyone would find out.

"Hmph, I remember you told me that you used it for meditation and meditation, but it turned out to be for stealing!" Xiao'er heard Jingye's words, remembered the picture of them there at that time, and then hugged her little hands and snorted coquettishly.

Jingye looked at Xiao'er's expression, it was really cute, she couldn't help but pinch her face, and she slapped it.

"I'm not lying to you, eating meat is a small number of cases, and most of the time it is really for meditation without being disturbed. Jingye paid attention to his grilled fish and explained to Xiao'er. He only eats barbecue meat when he is greedy, and usually only recites scriptures there to practice.

After that, Jingye took off the grilled fish, took out a pair of chopsticks and a plate from the thunder ring, and condensed a sharp knife with spiritual power to peel off the grilled fish, and then Jingye sprinkled some seasoning condiments, and condensed a small table, put the plate in front of Xiao'er, and said with a smile: "Lovely Xiao'er, your grilled fish is ready, try it." ”

Xiao'er wanted to question the pure karma just now, but the tempting fragrance came from the fish and meat, which made her lose her soul in an instant, where could she take care of anything else.

Swallowing his saliva, his smiling eyes lit up, staring at the fragrant grilled fish in front of him, gently picking up a piece and eating it in small bites.

"Wow, little monk, how can you have such a great skill! It's a shame not to go to a restaurant to be a cook. Swallowing her mouth full of deliciousness, her smiling cheeks were full of surprise and excitement, how could she not have imagined that the grilled fish made by her little monk would be so delicious.

Hearing Xiao'er's evaluation of herself, Jingye smiled softly, didn't say anything, took out a pot of peach blossom wine and two jade cups from the thunder ring, gave Xiao'er a cup first, and put it on the golden table, and then said softly: "No matter how delicious something is, it must be eaten by a beloved." This is a pot of peach blossom wine, with fish, it should be good. ”

Hearing this, Xiao'er was sweet at the tip of her heart, took a sip of the wine glass, and added the aroma of the meat, she suddenly felt that she had no regrets in this life, this feeling of matching wine and meat not only made her taste comfortable, but also stimulated the brain.

Looking at the gentle Jingye, Xiao'er put down the chopsticks in her hand, got up and came to Jingye, and then threw herself in her arms, looked at his eyes affectionately, and said softly: "Little monk, how can you be so good." ”

"Because you're my laugh, of course I'm going to be nice to you. Come, I'll feed you. Touching Xiao'er's little face, Jingye held her in his arms and said very gently.

Steadily picked up the fish with his right hand, slowly placed it in front of Xiao'er, and fed her to eat. Xiao'er leaned on Jingye's arms, and obediently opened her mouth to eat every piece of fish full of love.

In the warmth, the sky has long changed color, and there are more stars embellished, and the bright moon smiles. Beside the nameless mountain road, the flowing water that slides down the mountain wall quietly enters the lake, and the horses look at the fire, which warms their deep love.
