In the open space square in the backyard of the Ordinary Academy, a thin young man in black with peach blossoms embroidered on his chest was sweating like rain, his brows were furrowed on his not outstanding face, and sweat kept dripping down his cheeks to the ground, but the young man's eyes were still bright.

Gao Yangyue handed over to Ah Qing the "Eighteen Steps of Peak Return" He was already able to take five steps at this time, which was different from the "five steps" punch in the Longhu Dragon Tomb two years ago: at that time, Ah Qing's body was overloaded with spiritual power, and the "Tianshubi" and the "Kunshan Jade" in his chest were continuously supplied, and his body was under the pressure of huge spiritual power, and he barely took five steps after suffering heavy damage. If it weren't for the dragon aura attribute spiritual power that Gao Yangyue transitioned to Ah Qing when Ah Qing was in a coma, and at the same time played a role in repairing the meridians, Ah Qing's body would have been left with indelible permanent wounds.

At present, Ah Qing is relying on his current cultivation of the first rank of the mortal rank, and he has taken five steps steadily. After five steps, Ah Qing gasped for breath, there was not much spiritual power left in his body, and every part of his body was full of soreness.

Gao Yangyue left the academy after the student assembly in the back yard a few days ago, and since the student assembly two years ago, Gao Yangyue only disappeared for a few days when the sun rose from the lake, and Gao Yangyue explained that she went back to the palace and informed the clan of what she had heard and seen and the changes in herself.

In the past few days, there is no big sister in the morning run, Ah Qing is a little uncomfortable, I can't tell the reason, it seems to be a habit, I am used to the fact that when the sun has not risen, Gao Yangyue has already exuded a warm light like the morning sun beside her.

At this student assembly, the brothers and sisters are still so vibrant, and their appearance is becoming more and more mature. It's just that Ah Qing still hasn't seen the rumored senior brother "Yun Tiangang" with the thunder attribute. Senior Brother Bu was still silent, carrying the long sword wrapped tightly in black cloth, only revealing the gorgeous hilt, but the feeling of sharpness came to his face.

In the next few days, the dean will take himself and Xian'er out of the Ordinary Academy and wander the Great Chu Dynasty all the way. Ah Qing is full of expectations for this, and the young man should travel everywhere. Senior Sister Yue said that the prosperity of the Great Chu Dynasty can only feel economic prosperity in Longhu City. Every city has its own charm and imprint.

Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Ah Qing began to breathe spiritual power, and after cultivating the "Eighteen Steps Back to the Peak", the spiritual power in his body was overdrawn, and behind the five-fold increase in spiritual power was the consumption of five-fold spiritual power, and the pale red brilliance around his body was extremely thin at this time. Ah Qing's current main cultivation is still fire attribute spiritual power, the aura affinity of the ethereal body is too high, if you cultivate multiple attributes at the same time, the chaotic spiritual power in the body will make the spiritual power qi sea set off turbulent waves, if you are not careful, Ah Qing will fall into a daze.

Although the light attribute spiritual power is relatively easy to use, Ah Qing still thinks that cultivation should start from the beginning, and the gains outweigh the losses if he picks up the sesame seeds and loses the watermelon. In recent days, my grandmother would often ask herself to go to the library to ask about cultivation-related matters, and from time to time she would tell her to wear more clothes, saying that the summer solstice had not yet arrived, and it would always be a little cool. Ah Qing could feel the concern in her grandmother's words, and her eyes were full of kindness and reluctance.

Xian'er has no heart and lungs, and she is running around in Longhu City in the academy all day long, where is the feeling of Longwei's suppression that she said. At the student assembly that day, they mingled with several senior brothers and sisters, I don't know what Xian'er said to the senior sisters, and several senior sisters looked at Ah Qing with dissatisfaction and hostility, as if they were blaming Ah Qing for something, and Xian'er on the side was triumphant.

Yuan Huanhuan went to the pine forest on the shore of Longhu Lake more and more often, and when he returned to the academy every day, he was full of spring breeze, walking and swaying, and he was very arrogant. After Ah Qing asked, he learned that it was Yuan's father and mother who learned from Xian'er that Yun Ting was cultivating on the shore of Longhu Lake, and urged Yuan Huanhuan to send the food box over every day, although Senior Sister Ting was still so cold to Yuan Huan, but she still took the food box. Xian'er rolled her eyes after hearing this and said, "It's not promising!" Yuan Huanhuan shook his head and shook his head, disapproving.

The bright moon hangs in the night sky at night, there is no night ban in Longhu City, the fireworks alley under the moonlight is red and green, the oil lamps of the merchants on both sides of the street are shaking, and there are horse-drawn carriages slowly passing by from time to time.

Ah Qing sat at the door of his house, holding his cheeks and looking at the stars dotted in the night sky. Yuan Huanhuan went back to the city tonight and did not stay in the academy, and the eldest sister with golden hair in the house on the other side also returned to the capital and said that she was waiting for herself. Ah Qing was bored, sitting alone in a daze.

I haven't seen Master Zhou Tong in the past few days, and I heard my grandmother say that I went down the mountain with Senior Brother Bu Xingchen, and I have some things to explain. For the first master in this life, Ah Qing thought more of Master Yun Rou's words, Master is Dad's best brother. Where Daddy is now, Master must know. But how do you ask? Ah Qing scratched his ears and cheeks.

The door behind her squeaked, and Xian'er sat next to Ah Qing wearing a pink blanket.

Xian'er yawned and asked, "Why don't you sleep yet?"

"Can't sleep. Ah Qing didn't look sideways at Xian'er in thin pajamas, and stared blankly at the night sky.

"Miss Sister Yue?" asked Xian'er in a low voice.

Ah Qing didn't speak, too lazy to take care of this peach blossom spirit who was lively during the day and went to bed early at night.

"I envy you. Xian'er's tone was flat, different from the past. At this time, she also held her cheeks with both hands, her exposed arms were as white as jade, and her eyes were starry at the night, blinking and blinking.

"When you were a child, you used to cry under the peach tree, saying that you missed your father and mother, and where was your father and mother. At that time, I didn't know what state I was, watching you in the tree and crying with you, because I didn't know where my father and mother were. Xian'er paused for a moment and continued:

"We spirits, born in heaven and earth, don't know when we are psychic. The first day I learned about the outside world, I saw you crying under the tree, crying and crying and falling asleep against the peach tree, your face full of tears. At that time, I thought, where is my father? ”

"But I don't have a father. Xian'er sighed, her face expressionless.

"In the two years that you were away, no one spoke to me, and when the villagers came to pick peach blossoms, I knew that you were going to look for your father. At that time, I thought, if you find it, I will look for you after I transform. ”

Xian'er turned her head, held her cheeks with both heads, and smiled lightly at A Qingli's vortex, as intoxicating as peach blossom brewing:

"So, the last time I saw you, I said I wanted to take your last name, and my name was given by you. Mu Qing, Mu Xian'er, how nice it sounds. ”

"You have so many senior brothers and sisters who care, as well as masters, grandmothers, and now you have a super powerful sword immortal master. ”

"I used to think that the child under the tree was lonely, and I was lonely, but if two people are lonely together, they shouldn't be lonely. ”

"Now, I'm the only one left alone. ”

Xian'er's tone was flat, without the usual jump, at this time she sat beside Ah Qing, smiling, her peach-colored eyes shining in the silver moonlight.

Ah Qing looked sideways at Xian'er and didn't speak. The faint fragrance of peach blossoms on her body refreshes people's hearts, making Aqing's mood peaceful. I have to say that during these days when Ah Qing was laying on the floor, the quality of sleep was extremely good. I just don't know what it feels like, as if I was born close, staying with Xian'er, and something in my blood is cheering.

"We're going to leave tomorrow. Aqing said.

The dean, who is also the master, asked the grandmother to convey the matter, and the grandmother specially told Ah Qing to pay attention to safety, Xian'er is lively by nature, and many things need to be taken care of by Ah Qing.

Xian'er heard that Ah Qing didn't answer what she said just now, pouted, and ignored Ah Qing.

Seeing that Xian'er didn't react for a while, Ah Qing sighed and said:

"I still haven't found my parents. Master, grandmother, Master, and even my brothers and sisters seem to be hiding something from me. I didn't go into the details, I guessed a little about my father's mother, but I couldn't believe it. ”

Xian'er looked at A-Qing curiously, her eyes wide.

"About loneliness, loneliness..."Ah Qing smiled, reached out and rubbed the pink hair of the girl beside him:

"Since you have been with me for so many years, I will be with you in the future. ”

"Tomorrow's worries, let's find a way to solve them tomorrow. ”

Qing stood up, patted his buttocks, and went back to the house.

Xian'er also stood up, patted her ass as A-Qing learned, and glanced at the moon.

"It's so round!" thought Xian'er.

When Xian'er went back to the house and went to bed, she saw that A-Qing had closed her eyes and fallen asleep on the floor, kicked lightly, and then climbed into bed with a smile.

......

......

The dragon lake under the sun was sparkling, and a girl in black with a sword looked up at the gate of the academy on the ordinary mountain a little farther away by the lake, one of the four people was waving her arm vigorously, Yun Ting's beautiful eyes were beautiful, and she also raised her arm in response.

Under the quaint four-character plaque at the gate of the academy, Ah Qing waved his arm vigorously to say goodbye to Senior Sister Yun Ting on the shore of Longhu Lake under the mountain, and Yuan Huanhuan was excited when he saw Yun Ting's response: "Ah Qing, Senior Sister Ting is greeting me." ”

Xian'er rolled her eyes: "Brother Huan, where is your face?"

Yuan Huanhuan hurriedly patted his cheek lightly, and said with a smile: "What about this! Can't you see it? Senior brother's neck is too long. So you can't see. A smirk.

Zhou Tong looked at the three teenagers and girls in front of him, and remembered that a few years ago, he had such a situation, threesome, you chase me, you beat me, until I met her, and the threesome became a foursome.

"Let's go. Zhou Tong lifted the gourd, poured a sip of wine, and hung it around his waist.

"Brother Huan has to step up his cultivation, otherwise if I overtake him the next time we meet, I won't call you Senior Brother..."

Yuan Huanhuan scolded with a smile: "Senior brother, even if his cultivation is not as good as yours, he is still your senior brother!"

Seeing this, Xian'er kicked Yuan Xianhuan: "I know how to bully Aqing." When we come back next time, we must ask our uncle and aunt to cook more delicious food. ”

"Let's go, let's go..."Yuan Huanhuan waved his hand.

Ah Qing looked at the library standing on the top of the mountain, and an old woman and a woman at the window were looking at this side.

Ah Qing waved his hand vigorously and silently made a mouth shape: "Grandma, Aunt Rou, I'm leaving!"

Master Yun Rou was beside the vice president and said softly: "This trip to A-Qing's trip down the mountain, is there really no problem?"

The vice president nodded to Ah Qing of the mountain gate and said, "With Zhou Tong next to him, how dare those "hidden spirits" who are worried about the fairy dare to act recklessly. Besides, such a big person, how can the children of my Mu family be in one place. Back then, Mu Ze, you, and Zhou Tong and the three of them, didn't they also travel to the three clans?"

Yun Rou seemed to recall something, and sighed, that is, after a few years of travel, Mu Ze would have something to do in the future.

"Go, go, it's a young eagle, how can you keep it in captivity?

Ah Qing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and unswervingly walked down the bluestone steps, and Xian'er hurriedly followed.

Zhou Tong looked at the backs of the two of them, his expression and thoughts drifted, he glanced back at the window on the top of the library attic, bowed slightly, and then followed the two, and the yellow gourd on his waist swayed.

......

......

It is not yet the summer solstice, but you can hear the cicadas. The cloudless sky, the sun was fierce, scorching the earth, the carriages and ox carts, and the whip of the coachman on the livestock were a little lighter, but the weather was too hot and there was no strength. Even the originally warm spring breeze was sweltering at this time. Carriages and horses drove by, bringing up dust.

The stalls on both sides of the official road are all set up with sheds, and some of the men who set up the stalls are even naked, revealing their sturdy bodies under the exercise of farm work, shaking fans while selling the crops on the stalls, and their throats are smoking. The woman sat on the wooden bench of the stall, wrapped a towel cloth on her head, and chatted with the woman in the stall next to her, chatting about the hellish weather, the heat was really excessive, and the temperature in late spring was more midsummer.

"It's too hot, and the seedlings in the field are dying. ”

"Did you hear about it? It's because the Yecheng County Order, which was appointed by the new official this year, did not pay tribute, which offended Hebo. That's why summer comes so quickly. The water of the Nazhang River is drying up. ”

"Hey, don't mention this, the tribute must be a yellow flower girl, who is willing to make this tribute to their daughter. If you want me to say, this county order is doing the right thing! Who knows if the things in the Zhanghe River are monsters!"

"Don't talk nonsense, if it's really Hebo, under the anger, our crops will be finished. ”

"It's been three years, and the Yecheng County Order has changed three, and three living yellow flower girls have been unjustly killed. What kind of bullshit Hebo, I think it's all nonsense from that dead old woman!"

"Be quiet, be quiet!" a woman hurriedly said, stopping the other woman from scolding, thinking about it, most of the words of the common people are useless. Drought and flood, don't the people have to live the same?

A donkey slowly walked on the official road, and a girl in a flower skirt rode on the donkey, wearing a straw hat to hide the scorching sun. A young man dressed in gray linen, with a thin figure and a bag on his back, was leading the donkey, his face was full of dust, but his eyes were bright.

"Ah Qing, it's too hot this day!"

The girl on the donkey complained, her voice crisp. The young man called "Ah Qing" reached out and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his cuffs, nodded and said:

"According to the geographical map, we have entered the boundary of Yecheng. ”

Ah Qing took the sturdy donkey that the fairy had to buy in Longhu City, and said that how could he walk the rivers and lakes without a mount? Ah Qing still took out the silver money in pain. Let Xian'er ride and lead all the way. After leaving the city, Master Zhou Tong pointed to Yecheng on the geographical map and asked them to go here, and then disappeared without a trace.

The two of them have been walking non-stop for five days all the way, following the geographical map drawn by the master, staying in some cheap inns all the way at night, but when Xian'er shouted that there is only one room, the expressions of the shopkeeper and Xiao Er still made Ah Qing blush.

Fortunately, the two of them had enough silver, and before leaving, Aunt Rou handed Ah Qing a black chess piece and gave Xian'er a white chess piece, saying that it was a square inch of things that Grandpa Lin had refined, and that he would open up the internal space of the items with spiritual power. Inside the two flags were the daily necessities of the two people, as well as some dry food and a lot of money. However, Ah Qing's black chess has been taken away by Xian'er, saying that it is a woman who is good at keeping finances.

Xian'er covered her eyes with one hand, looked into the distance of the official road as a lookout, and said in surprise: "I saw the gate of Yecheng!"

Ah Qing stood on tiptoe and squinted his eyes, and he could see the city gate in the distance.

This journey is not hard, but it is just a matter of wind and dust, the wind and the sun are blowing, and it rained the day before yesterday, and there are still ravines left by the carriage on the dirt ground of this official road.

However, Ah Qing felt very comfortable, and the two of them traveled all the way, and they did not encounter any bandits, leading the donkey, all the way leisurely. The law and order of the Great Chu Dynasty is excellent, and there will be black-armored iron cavalry patrols on ordinary official roads, not to mention the city.

It's just that since I stepped into the boundary of Yecheng, I obviously felt the difference, it was too weird, in this season, where would it be so hot, the sun in this Yecheng realm was not the same as the sun in Longhu City?

Master said that he was waiting for us in this city, and he must have been drinking at a restaurant in the city at this moment.

Ah Qing took the donkey and continued to move forward, the donkey snorted, and Xian'er swayed left and right on the donkey, full of interest.
