Eight years later.

The sky is clear, the sky is clear, and at a glance, there are mountains one after another, full of greenery.

This mountain belt, named Lianyun Peak, is the junction of the three kingdoms of Dongyan, Yinxia and Liucang, with continuous mountains and rare human tracks.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves at the bottom of the mountain began, and a team of men and horses galloped over, raising a cloud of sand and dust.

The man in the lead let out a "shout", took the reins and stopped at the foot of the mountain, and the rest of the people also stopped.

There were twenty-three horsemen in total, and except for the man who was the leader, the rest of the people were lined up in two columns, in an orderly manner.

They were all dressed in strong suits, black, all of them were tall, wearing long swords at their waists, and their expressions were solemn.

The leader is a middle-aged man, about early forties, with a two-inch-long scar on his eyebrows, some gray hair on his sideburns, a large piece of stubble from his cheeks to his chin, a pair of eyes full of vicissitudes, and his sword eyebrows are inserted into his temples, and his whole body is full of heroic spirit.

The middle-aged man looked up at the mountain closest to him.

The mountain has no character, it is hidden among the many mountains, it is not at all conspicuous, only a little higher than the other surrounding mountains.

If there is anything special, it is just that the vegetation is lush, and there are a few wisps of clouds and mist lingering on the mountain, which has a bit of dust.

The man closest to him was in his early thirties, with a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes, a little handsome, but his eyes were sharp and a little gloomy, and he reminded: "General, this is Qiluo Mountain." ”

"Qiluo Mountain ......," the middle-aged man who was called the general repeated, "Presumably Shen Ji is here." He instructed, "Go separately to find Shen Ji." ”

"Yes." The man took the command, and then turned to command the people, "You guys, go over there and look for it, and the rest of the men will come with me." ”

They divided into two groups, one to the east and the other to the west, and went deeper into the woods.

These people are people in the downtown area, and rarely have the opportunity to come to such a mountainous place, where the sun is thickly shaded, accompanied by the sound of birds, ethereal and tactful, the breeze comes slowly, with a faint fragrance of flowers, refreshing people's hearts, it is really a beautiful scenery in the world, but this duty is in the body, and there is no time to stay and appreciate.

They didn't know how long they had been walking in the mountains, and they saw a woman in white tiptoeing through the forest with her skirt in her hand.

A man jumped off his horse and stepped forward to ask, "Is the girl from this mountain, and is there anyone else in this mountain?" ”

As soon as he spoke, there was a strange movement in the grass, and a snow-white rabbit sprang out.

It turned out that she was catching rabbits.

The woman turned around, she was dressed in an off-white plain narrow sleeved long dress, without the slightest embellishment. The goose-egg-like face is as white as snow, with a hidden red glow, and a little childish. From the sideburns, two coils of green silk fell down and fell straight to the chest. He wore a string of tiny beads on his forehead with a jade stone in the middle, which was transparent and shaped like a tear. Two small braids were combed behind the ears and the rest of the hair were tied behind the head and loosely tied up with a blue ribbon, without any extra hair accessories. Her eyelashes are slender and thick, her eyes are clean and bright, like stars, and there is a small mole above the eyelashes of her left eye, which makes her even more beautiful.

The man was amazed that there was such a beautiful woman in this wild place, and he lost his mind for a while.

She looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, and at this time she puffed out her cheeks, pouted a pink little mouth, crossed her waist with her hands, and said angrily: "You scared my rabbit away, you pay my rabbit!" Even the voice is childish.

"This ......" the man looked at her with a helpless expression.

The rest of the men also dismounted and stepped forward, and the general asked, "What's the matter, what happened?" ”

The woman looked up at him and pointed her finger at the man, looking like she was not afraid of heaven and earth, "He scared my rabbit away, you are in a group, you have to compensate me." ”

"Presumptuous, how did you talk to the general." One of the people in the team said, it was the man who had been standing next to the general before.

"General? I don't know any generals, I only know rabbits, you scare away my rabbits, that's my dinner today, you have to pay me. She stretched out a pair of slender thatched grasses, and did not give up.

"Huanzhi!" The general shook his head to stop him, and then said to the woman with great humility, "It is his subordinate who has made a fool of the girl, and he will make amends to the girl on his behalf." ”

"Reparation? What's the use of making amends! The woman looked disdainful, "Do you know how difficult it is to catch pheasants and hares here, I haven't eaten meat for almost a month, and I finally caught one and scared you away." ”

"What do you mean by ......?" The general looked a little embarrassed.

"Forget it...... the woman waved her hand, "I don't remember the villain, so I won't care about you, and I will be unlucky." The woman looked disgusted, and didn't take these people in her eyes at all.

The man named Huanzhi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and stepped forward as if he was about to make a move, but the general hurriedly stopped him.

The woman, who had been frightened by his fierce appearance, took two steps back, and saw that he was stopped by the leading man again, and knew that this man was nothing more than a paper tiger, and immediately stuck out her tongue at him.

Liu Huan was indignant in his heart, but he couldn't, so he had to suppress his anger and retreat to the side with his arms in his arms.

Then the general asked, "Does the girl live in this mountain?" Do you know a person named Shen Ji? ”

The woman frowned, but then said, "What Shen Ji, I haven't heard of it." She rolled her big eyes, "By the way, who are you, what are you doing here, outsiders are not welcome here, you better leave quickly." ”

"You girl doesn't know how to lift." The man who asked for directions before couldn't stand it anymore.

The woman leaned back and said warily, "What, you want to hit someone?" Don't think I'm afraid of you if there are too many of you. ”

The general stopped in front of him, "The girl misunderstood, we have no malicious intentions, just ask for directions, we heard that there is a hermit in this mountain, and we want to visit it, but the mountains and forests are so big that we can't find the hermit's residence for a while, if the girl knows, can you tell me?" ”

Yixi's words were humble and polite, but the woman did not appreciate it, she raised her head, "I didn't misunderstand, you see that you are all fierce and vicious, and you are all holding swords, it is clear that the comer is not good, I am a weak woman, I have no power to restrain the chicken, if I say something wrong, I am afraid that my life will not be saved." She said, "But don't think I'm a bully." ”

She snorted, then stepped back, put her finger in her mouth, and whistled casually, the sound resounded through the valley in an instant, and everyone was puzzled, when suddenly the leaves in the mountains and forests brushed and brushed, followed by a burst of wings spread all over the world, the general just shouted "not good", and when he looked up, he saw a flock of birds coming towards them from all directions, as if under some kind of command, and the sharp claws scratched their clothes mercilessly, and printed a little blood.

Everyone hurriedly drew their swords to fight back, and after a while, many birds died tragically under the knife. When the other birds saw this, they chirped and cried, and in a mess, fluttered their wings and spread out, and burrowed into the woods.

After a fight, everyone was covered in bloodstained scratches and was embarrassed. When they came to their senses, the woman in white was long gone.

"Damn!" The general cursed, unexpectedly that there was still a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in this mountain wilderness.

Half an hour later.

"Master...... I am back. The woman in white jumped up and down with her skirt and ran to a bamboo house. I ran in a hurry, my hair was messy, and I got some dirt on my body.

In front of the bamboo house, the man in white was already leaning against the door with his arms crossed, as if he was deliberately waiting for her to come. The man's long hair was half draped and half pulled, hanging down at will, his face was fair, he had a pair of good-looking almond eyes, his eyebrows were curved and powerful, at first glance, he felt that this person was elegant and handsome, and his temperament was dusty, but when he looked closely, he was surprised that there seemed to be an innate luxury between his eyebrows, which made people admire. If there is any flaw, it is probably a slight wrinkle at the corner of the eye, and the eyes are a little dull, but this seems to add a bit of charm to him.

At this time, he looked up at the woman in front of him with his arms crossed, and his face was gloomy: "I just heard the forest bird alarmed, Yunhuang, you ran out to have fun again?" You're almost done catching pheasants and hares around here, right? ”

Yun Huang flattened his mouth: "What's the matter?" ”

"What about the book I asked you to memorize, finished memorizing?"

"What is there to memorize a book?" Yun Huang pursed his lips, resentment in his heart.

"Go back to the house, copy the Taixuan Sutra to me five hundred times, and I don't have to eat tonight!" The man shouted.

"Master......" Yun Huang tugged at the corners of his clothes, looking aggrieved.

"What, less?"

"No, no, no....... I'm going to write it. Yun Huang lifted the hem of his skirt and ran into the house, and just as he was about to enter the room, he turned around, "By the way, master, I just saw a group of strange people at the foot of the mountain. ”

Shen Ji didn't care, "Is there anyone more strange than you on this mountain?" ”

"What I said is true, there are many of them, all with swords, and they are vicious." Yun Huang touched his chin thoughtfully, "Oh, by the way, that leader has a scar on his face, what they call him General, and there is another one in the middle called What Huanzhi." ”

Shen Ji's eyelids jumped, "You heard me right?" ”

"You can't be wrong. When they asked me for directions, and I didn't answer, they were going to beat me, but they were going to beat me. ”

Shen Ji walked up to her, turned her around, squatted down to examine it carefully, and helped her straighten her messy hair, looking a little nervous, "They didn't do anything to you, did they?" ”

Yun Huang was a little puzzled by Shen Ji's reaction, and she smiled: "No, how dare they, but I called a group of finches to make a fool of them." ”

"So that's why you summoned the forest birds."

"yes." Yun Huang was proud, "You didn't see their embarrassed appearance. Yun Huang saw that Shen Ji's expression was wrong, and asked tentatively, "They also asked me if I knew Shen Ji, master, they came to find you, do you know them?" ”

Shen Ji was a little distracted, "How could the master know them." He stroked Yun Huang's hair and pulled the corners of his mouth, "It's okay if you're okay, go back to the house first, change your clothes, it's dirty." ”

Yun Huang let out an "oh" and turned around and entered the house.

Shen Ji saw Yun Huang enter the house, sighed, turned around and went to the forest, Yun Huang was very puzzled by the master's reaction today, but he couldn't think of a reason, so he had to obediently go back to the house to copy the book. After writing more than a dozen pages, the "Taixuan Sutra" was about to be memorized, and she felt bored in her heart, and she couldn't write it anymore, so she smeared it on the paper. One to one, it's quite serious, and the corners of my mouth are bent up when I draw them. Slowly, the people on the paper gradually became clear, although the drawing was not very good, but it could still be seen that she was drawing Shen Ji.

In the forest, Shen Ji would move a stone, cut down a bamboo, and cut down some branches. These actions seem to be nonsensical, but they are actually reinforcing the formation, which has been placed by him on Qiluo Mountain, and ordinary people will inevitably get lost when they come in, so they can live in peace on this mountain all these years.

However, what should have come has come eventually.

In the evening, Shen Ji came back, and as soon as he entered the door, Yun Huang hurriedly stuffed the painting into a drawer, stood up, and smiled very harmlessly, "Master, are you back......?"

Shen Ji glanced at her, and didn't seem to want to delve into it, he glanced at the paper on the table, and picked up one at random, "The book you copied, how did you copy it?" ”

Yun Huang frowned, but the corners of his mouth smiled hard, "Master, five hundred times is really a lot....... Shen Ji shook his head, "That's it, you must be hungry, I'll go cook for you." ”

Hearing the meal, Yun Huang was overjoyed, she hugged Shen Ji's arm, "I know that the master is the best." ”

Shen Ji smiled and sighed, after all, he was a child.

After eating, Shen Ji helped her wipe the rice from the corners of her mouth, and said casually: "Yun Huang, leave here with the master." ”

Yun Huang raised his head in a daze, Shen Ji's expression was solemn, and his handsome side face was crossed by the light. At that moment, in a trance, time seemed to be reversed back to that summer eight years ago, and at that time, he also looked like this, and said this to her.

Yun Huang blinked inexplicably and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Dongyan."
