The mountains are stacked, the mist is like a veil, there are quiet stone steps hidden in the mountains, there are pavilions standing every other distance for people to play and rest, the clear stream is gurgling and flowing, and the quaint stone bridge tells the vicissitudes of history.

Mist, mountains, creeks, stone bridges, wildflowers, birds...... All of this makes for a beautiful landscape.

Walking in the mountains, affected by the environment, the poplar only felt relaxed and happy, and his heart became calm.

Without guidance, he stepped directly towards the main peak, as if a voice in the darkness was telling him that his destination was there.

Coming to the foot of the main peak, the woman who appeared at the pavilion before was already waiting here.

Apparently she was a little surprised that someone could come up the mountain, and Meimu looked at Poplar and said, "This son, please stay."

The sound is clear, like a trickle, but with an unmistakable taste.

Although she only has the cultivation of the Great Grandmaster Realm, this is the Tianyin Sect, and this is enough, no one in the Tianyin Sect can not obey the arrangements of the Tianyin Sect!

"I wonder what the girl has to teach you?" Poplar paused and asked.

The other party looked at Bai Yang calmly and said: "Since Childe can go up the mountain, he must have been confident that he has obtained the answer to the third level assessment, if so, please inform me of the answer, if you don't know the answer, please go down the mountain, I will be Childe has not come"

It turned out to confirm the answer, and Poplar nodded in understanding and said, "I can come here, of course I have already guessed the answer"

"Please also ask Childe to inform" The other party's mood did not fluctuate, looked at Baiyang and said, did not hear the answer, obviously did not believe it.

Looking at the misty peaks ahead, Poplar sighed: "The answer is 'freedom'"

"Freedom?"

"Free!"

The girl was silent for a moment, looked at Bai Yang with some surprise and said, "Although Childe's answer is correct, I still want to hear Childe explain my doubts, why do you think the answer to that water word is freedom?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, Poplar smiled: "The white clouds are ethereal, with the wind and the world, when you are tired, it turns into rain, the rain gathers into water, the water flows into a stream, through the mountains, forests, grass, I have seen the dead vines and old trees, I have seen the cliffs and rocks, I have seen the flowers blooming at four o'clock, I have seen the joys and sorrows of the clutch, and I have seen the east of the river, the sea is inclusive, it has seen the red dust and beautiful scenery of the world, sighing that the world is impermanent, the heart is cloudy, and then with the wind and the world, unrestrained, I want to find the quiet place to rest, so the water is impermanent, the clouds are the end of the world, and the water travels through the world, it is unbound, so, The word "water" stands for freedom."

"Childe is talented, a water word can be compared so delicately, the answer is correct, Childe, please go up the mountain"

After listening to Bai Yang's words, although the girl was still veiled, she was smiling, looking at Bai Yang and squatting down slightly.

Poplar nodded and smiled, then stepped forward, passed by the girl, took a few steps forward, stopped and turned his head and said: "Girl, water is impermanent, it is just water, it does not mean anything, the meaning of the word water is freedom, not that water itself represents freedom, but because the word water represents freedom in the hearts of the people who wrote it."

After speaking, Poplar didn't wait for the girl to reply, smiled indifferently and continued to go up the mountain.

The girl looked at the back of the poplar, and then at the misty peaks, and thoughtfully......

On the next road, Poplar did not step into the air, but went up step by step along the quaint stone path, looking at the beautiful scenery around him, Poplar sighed in his heart, although this mountain, water and flowers are beautiful, but it is a heart that yearns for freedom.

When the road ends, when the sunset on the horizon shows its beauty, the poplar comes to the end of the road.

There is a quiet courtyard here, small and elegant huts, surrounded by a hedge, and the unknown vines crawling on the hedge bloom with small white flowers, and the flowers bloom with a faint light, like the twinkling stars.

There is a small bamboo forest in the courtyard, and there is a small pond on the edge of the bamboo forest, and there are blooming white lotus flowers in the pond swaying in the wind to reveal their fragrance.

Standing at the gate of the small courtyard, Poplar stopped, his mood fluctuated, and he only felt that the world was impermanent.

Squeak......

The elegant door of the small courtyard opened, and a girl dressed in emerald green appeared in front of Bai Yang's eyes.

The girl looked playful and cute, and when she saw Poplar for the first time, she was stunned at first, and her little face, which was originally a little dissatisfied, suddenly bloomed with joy, and her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon and said in surprise: "Young Master Bai? How did you end up here? ”

"Miss Xiaolan, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm getting more and more beautiful, I don't know which stinky boy will be cheaper in the future" Bai Yang looked at the pretty girl in front of him and smiled.

Miss Xiaolan didn't care about Bai Yang's ridicule, she stepped forward excitedly, stopped again, and said at a loss: "It's really Young Master Bai, I thought it was ......"

"Why does Miss Xiaolan think?" Poplar asked with a smile.

"I thought it was other stinky men, if I had known that it was Young Master Bai, I would, I would have gone to greet you...... oops, oh, I have to tell Miss to go, she doesn't know you're coming......"

Xiaolan said in a crisp voice, screamed, and ran into the small courtyard with her skirt in a hurry.

opened his mouth, Bai Yang shook his head and chuckled, this Xiaolan is still so reckless.

Without waiting for her to greet her again, Poplar stepped into the courtyard.

Looking around, he could see that everything in this small courtyard was arranged by a woman with a blue heart, and it was obvious that the owner here had poured great affection into every flower and plant here.

When he came to the pond in the small courtyard, looking at the blooming white lotus in the clear water, his eyes were a little trance for a while, he seemed to see the figure of the woman who used to be, fluttering in white clothes, not stuck in things, and wanted to go away with the weathered clouds.

Poplar felt something in his heart and turned slightly.

A woman in white clothes has appeared a few meters behind him at some point, the woman is very beautiful, so beautiful that it is a little unreal, she is like a small white flower blooming quietly on the mountain cliff, and like an ethereal white cloud, obviously in front of him, but it seems to be far away in the sky.

She looked at the poplar quietly, her eyes were calm like a clear spring, but the slight curvature of the corners of her mouth showed the excitement in her heart.

Seeing Bai Yang turn around, the woman in white squatted down slightly and said, "Bai Gongzi, how are you doing lately?" ”

Inexplicably remembered a sentence that was very appropriate, Bai Yang smiled: "It doesn't matter if it's good or not, life is a big dream of nothing, Shaohua Baishou, but in an instant, Qinghe, we meet again, he will say goodbye to each other in the future, and we will meet again today, I almost can't connect you with the beginning"

The woman is Qinghe, the Qinglou woman who taught Baiyang the world language in Deyang Town, Baiyang helped her redeem herself, but did not restrict her freedom.

She originally left from Aoki County with a guqin in her arms, and for some reason crossed thousands of mountains and rivers to the Daguang Dynasty, and became a closed disciple of the head of the Tianyin Sect.

Who can say clearly about the circumstances of life?

At the beginning, Qinghe was just a Qinglou woman, and she couldn't even control her own fate, let alone freedom, but now, no one dared to ignore the words and deeds of that humble woman at the beginning, Mo said that the small Niu family in Deyang Town, even the royal family of the Chen Dynasty, had to be careful to accompany the smiling face!

Qinghe said with a smile in his eyes: "When I said goodbye, Bai Gongzi once said that every separation in life is for the next reunion, and now I meet again, sighing that time is in a hurry."

"You're still you, I'm still me, what's the matter?" Poplar shook his head and chuckled.

With a smile, Qinghe did not continue to dwell on this topic, but stretched out his hand sideways and said: "Bai Gongzi can come, Qinghe is happy but a little apprehensive, this is simple, I'm afraid the hospitality is not good, only coarse tea and light rice, I hope Bai Gongzi doesn't mind"

"Reunited after a long absence, a glass of water can also be intoxicating, will Miss Qinghe also care about these?"

"It's a clear lotus"

The two met plainly, talked plainly, there was no joy or sorrow, just like they once got along, quiet and indifferent, but they revealed tacit understanding everywhere.

"Miss, Young Master Bai, don't just talk about it, come and sit here," Xiaolan said over there.

Although Bai Yang and Qinghe snubbed her when they talked, she was not angry, but happy to see such a picture.

Xiaolan is no longer the little maid who didn't know anything about Qinghe in the Qinglou in Deyang Town, she has traveled a lot of roads and seen a lot of things with Qinghe, but she still feels that it is most comfortable for her young lady and Young Master Bai to stand together.

Side by side with Qinghe, he came to the pavilion by the small bamboo forest and sat down, and Xiaolan made tea with a happy expression on the side.

Taking a sip of tea into his throat, Bai Yang only felt that the whole person had been washed, and his head became extremely clear, obviously this seemingly ordinary tea came from the high-end goods of the Tianyin Sect.

Putting down the teacup, Bai Yang looked at Qinghe and asked, "Qinghe, why did you appear in the Tianyin Sect?" He also became a closed disciple of the head of the Tianyin Sect? ”

Qinghe's thoughts fluttered, and he said indifferently: "Life is wonderful, when I left from Aoki County, the Blood Lotus Sect was a chaotic people, Qinghe saw a lot of human tragedies, traveled a lot of places, and also helped some people with his ability to be a three-pin qin master at that time, and met the head of the Tianyin Sect who traveled the world, she said that I was talented and wanted to accept me as a disciple, at first I refused, but she said that if you want real freedom, you need to master the ability to match it to be considered real freedom, and she can give me the ability to get freedom, so, I worship her as a teacher, the master brought me to the Tianyin Sect, for this period of time, I have been practicing the exercises passed down by the master, during which there are some troubles, but with the master here, I can enjoy the peace of the moment"

After listening to Qinghe's statement, Baiyang was very stunned in his heart, what is atmospheric luck? This is atmospheric luck, who would have thought that such a humble woman as Qinghe would be favored by the head of the Tianyin Sect?

In comparison, if Jiang Yishui, who used to be of the Blood Lotus Sect, knew about it, he would probably have to cry and faint in the toilet.

Looking at the indifferent Qinghe in front of him, Bai Yang thought for a while and said: "At this time, Qinghe, you have become the head of the Tianyin Sect and a disciple, and you can be said to be standing at the apex of the envy of countless people, but I look at Qinghe, you don't seem to be happy?" ”

"Well, I'm not happy," Qinghe said indifferently, bluntly saying this.

At this time, Poplar was stunned and asked, "Why?" ”
