Wudang Mountain, Jingzhou.

At the foot of the mountain, two fast horses galloped past, one was the night jade shining streamer, the horse's hooves were like meteors, there were two girls on horseback, one with a purple shirt and a silver bow, and one with a red skirt leaning over, the two were Yu Xining and Zheng Ruyan, and behind them was Zhang Qian'an.

After getting off the ship from the port of Wuyi City, Yu Xining and the three of them hurried to Wudang, and at the same time, Du Min took Zhao Changxu, Du Tianxing, Qi Luan and others to Wudang in a hurry, vowing to come back for an explanation.

On the surface of the Xiangjiang River, Ning Xiaochuan and Shen Li were rushing to Wuyi by boat, Ning Xiaochuan's face was pale, and it would take some time for him to fully recover after being severely injured by Zhao Chang.

When he came to the outside of the cabin, he saw Ning Xiaochuan looking in the direction of Wuyi worriedly, and walked over and said with relief, "You are all injured now, and you are still worried about others." ”

"I don't know if they have come to Wudang, this time the matter is so big, the Du family will definitely go to Wudang to find an explanation, and if Wudang lets the young grandmother of the Du family enter the mountain, it means that he acquiesced in Brother Zhang's move, which is to completely tear his face with the Du family.

But if you are not allowed to enter the mountain and cannot be blessed by Wudang, then there will be no place for Miss Zheng in the entire Jingzhou. Ning Xiaochuan said worriedly, what he said was not alarmist, but a compromise evaluation made after considering the influence of the Du family.

Shenli tilted his head and looked at Ning Xiaochuan, and then shook his head in confusion, "Oh, what are you talking about, what are you talking about, if you are afraid of wolves and tigers like this, then don't save people at that time." ”

"If you don't save it, you will watch Miss Zheng be harmed?" Ning Xiaochuan asked himself, until now he didn't think it was a wrong thing to save people.

Sanli shook his head, he did listen to the story of the Du family that Ning Xiaochuan said, if he let the eldest and young grandmothers stay in the Du family, wouldn't this mean that the eldest and young grandmothers would be forced to death.

"Your Central Plains affairs are so complicated." Since he couldn't figure it out, Shenli simply didn't want to think about it, and said with a pout.

Ning Xiaochuan sighed, "The family is bigger, and it is difficult for the people in Jiangxia to seek perfection, this is the way of the world of Dafeng today......"

……

At the foot of Wudang Mountain.

"......Huh" Zhang Qian stopped his horse, came to Xiaobai, and carefully helped Zheng Ruyan down, Yu Xining turned around and dismounted, and patted Xiaobai's forehead gently, "You go play." ”

Xiao Bai roared, turned around and ran into the dense forest next to him.

Zheng Ruyan looked at the four-character plaque in front of him that read "Dao Qi Lasts Forever", and had mixed feelings.

The last time I saw this plaque was a year ago, at that time, I was about to get married, and I wanted to come to Wudang to see Zhang Qian'an for the last time, but I didn't expect that it was indeed a sentence from a disciple of Wudang, donor, please go back.

At this moment, Zhang Duan was standing under the plaque, looking at Zheng Ruyan in a red dress next to him, with the same complicated mood.

"Daochang Zhang, last time under this plaque, I waited for a whole day." Zheng Ruyan's eyes were slightly red, and he looked at Zhang Qian'an and said, "But you still haven't gone down the mountain." ”

"Huh?" Yu Xining was stunned, her eyes looked left and right, and she suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.

Zhang Qian'an's eyes were staring at the bluestone path in front of him, and he didn't even have the courage to look at Zheng Ruyan, so he said in a wooden voice, "Miss Zheng, don't talk about the past." ”

Zheng Ruyan's nose was sour, nodded heavily, and tears rolled down, "Yes, don't mention the past." ”

While speaking, countless Wudang Taoist priests hurriedly ran down the mountain, and shouted excitedly after seeing Zhang Duan one by one, "Fifth Uncle, Fifth Uncle......

Zhang Qian'an stepped forward, looked at the Wudang disciple in front of him, and bowed slightly, "Why did you come down." ”

The Wudang disciple next to him looked at Zhang Qian'an with a little embarrassment, took out a handwritten letter from Zhang Xingrui from his waist and handed it to Zhang Qian'an, "Fifth uncle, this is a letter from the master, Miss Zheng's identity is special and it is inconvenient to go up the mountain, please forgive Miss Zheng." ”

"What?" Yu Xining stepped forward angrily and shouted at the Wudang disciples, "What do you Wudang mean by this, don't you save you when you die?" ”

Zheng Ruyan smiled lightly and said, "I understand, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble." ”

Zhang Qian'an frowned, opened the envelope very puzzled, read it carefully, showed a slightly embarrassed look, and then said, "Thank you to the senior brother in charge for me." ”

"Uncle Shi......" The Wudang disciples in front of him also understood Zhang Qian'an's situation now, and there was really no place to shelter them except Wudang.

Yu Xining looked at Zhang Qian'an, and said angrily, "Zhang Qian'an, they won't let us go up the mountain, you still thank you." ”

Zheng Ruyan pulled Yu Xining, stopped the angry Yu Xining and said, "I'm already very satisfied with being able to come out of the Du family, don't blame them." ”

Zhang Qian'an looked at Zheng Ruyan and Yu Xining, took a deep breath, and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, "Both, follow me to Lotus Lake." ”

"Lotus Lake?"

……

Wudang Zhenwu Palace.

Zhang Xingrui, Xiang Nanchuan, and Jing Lie sat cross-legged and meditated, holding a lotus flower in one hand and hanging it on their chests, their breath was running, and their qi was not extinguished.

After a while, a Wudang disciple walked in and arched his hand, "Head Qiqi, the two senior uncles, the fifth senior uncle took Miss Yu and Miss Zheng to Lianhu." ”

After Zhang Xingrui heard it, he bowed his head slightly, and the moment he opened his eyes, his eyes were as deep as the sea, "Well, the old man knows, you go down." ”

"Yes." The little Taoist priest retreated.

Jing Lie took a deep breath and looked up at Zhang Xingrui, "Senior brother, do we really just care?" ”

"The bell must be tied to the bell, this matter needs to be solved by the fifth child himself, and the lotus of Lianhu should also be opened." Zhang Xingrui stroked his beard thoughtfully and said.

"Knock ......"

The bell rang, it seemed to indicate that everything was back to the starting point, but it also indicated that everything was back to the end, three bells rang, spread throughout the Wudang Mountains and forests, Zhang Qian'an, who was walking on the road to Lianhu, stopped to look in the direction of Wudang Mountain, his mood was complicated, his eyes were slightly red, and he bowed heavily.

Yu Xining helped Zheng Ruyan to walk slowly to Lianhu, although Wudang Lianhu Lake is also on Wudang Mountain, but not on the main peak of Wudang but on the side peak, a heavenly pond, planted by Wudang master Yu Taiqing himself.

These three thousand lotus sea is said to represent the luck of Wudang, the lotus immortal out, the previous head of Wudang in the twilight of the year to accept the three-year-old Zhang Duan as an apprentice, and told Zhang Xingrui that when the lotus sea is in full bloom, this son will become an immortal.

Since then, the title of Wudang Lotus Immortal has been spread, and Zhang Du'an has lived up to expectations, has his own unique understanding of Taoist cheats, and the Tai Chi method of cultivation is also advancing thousands of miles day by day, even Zhang Xingrui is worse, becoming the youngest half-step god master in Wudang for five hundred years, and is expected to become the youngest immortal in the entire Taoism.

Wudang Lotus Peak, straight into the sky for 3,000 miles, all the way to the bluestone paving, climb the Lotus Peak, the top of the head is the blue sky, the foot is the Wudang Peak, overlooking the foot, is the Lotus Sea Tianchi.

Yu Xining stood on the Lotus Peak, looked at the Lotus Lake below, and couldn't help exclaiming, "Is this the Wudang Lotus Lake?" It's so magnificent, it's hard to imagine what a grand occasion these lotus seeds will be when they are in full bloom. ”

Zheng Ruyan leaned over and sat on the chair next to him, looked at the Lianhu Lake in front of him, and said softly, "Daochang Zhang, do you remember the picture when we were here looking at the stars?" ”

Zhang Du'an remained silent, sat cross-legged on the futon next to him, and looked ahead.

Zheng Ruyan took a deep breath, her voice was a little choked, "At that time, I could still call you safe, and you could also call me like smoke." ”

Zhang Qian'an's head shook suddenly, and the memories of his youth sprung up from the bottom of his heart like mushrooms after a rain.

……

Ten years ago, Wudang Lotus Peak.

On a midsummer night, the originally hot day was covered by the heat wave and ushered in a short period of coolness, on the Lotus Peak of Wudang, a young Taoist priest was carrying a dark-skinned girl wearing a coarse cloth coat to climb to the top of the mountain.

The little girl was lying on the back of the little Taoist, with starlight on her head, hearing the sound of insects in her ears, and the sound of the young man's footsteps rattling, which seemed to be walking on the bluestone road up the mountain, but in fact walked in the girl's heart.

The girl's mind was already delicate, and her face was blushing when she was lying on the back of the little Taoist, although she was embarrassed, she couldn't help but hope that this moment would last a little longer.

"Be safe, or you can let me go, I can go by myself." There was a damp breeze in the mountains, and the girl blushed and murmured softly.

Zhang Qian'an smiled, his eyes were as clear as moonlight, "It's okay, I'll be there soon, you can see the big moon at the top of the mountain, and you can see the sunrise in the morning, if you're hungry, I can still roast corn for you to eat." ”

Listening to the young man's words, the girl's heart throbbed, the little Taoist priest in front of her was white, his mouth was sweet, and everyone liked it, even she didn't know when she fell in love with this little boy who had been crawling in the mud puddle with herself since she was a child.

……

When she climbed the Lotus Peak, it was already midnight, Zheng Ruyan looked up at the starry sky, her eyes widened, the stars twinkled one after another, shining on the Lotus Lake under her feet, accompanied by bursts of microwaves, giving her a feeling of stepping into the fairyland of the Moon Palace.

Eighteen starlight buckets in the world, the first half of the moonlight laurel is spring.

Maybe this is the beauty of midsummer, where teenagers and girls sit side by side, with the wind on their shoulders and the twinkling stars on the wind.

Insects chirped, birds chirped, the breeze blew, Zheng Ruyan couldn't help but shudder, Zhang Duan'an took off his robe and put it on Zheng Ruyan, and pointed to the starry sky above his head and talked.

"Like smoke, you see, the brightest star in the north is called Polaris, also called Ziweixing, our emperor is the reincarnation of Ziweixing, you see that there are many stars around him, those are ministers of civil and military affairs, you see this next to him is like a spoon, called the Big Dipper, this is amazing, from the handle of the spoon is to shake the light, Kaiyang, Yuheng, Tianquan ......"

"Like smoke, the stars in the sky have their own belonging, see that the star in the south is not, he is red, that is the heart of the Eastern Canglong Seven Nights, every year in July is his brightest time, and the silver ribbon, look good, that is the Milky Way ......"

"Like a ...... of smoke"

The words of the past slowly came to mind, and the boy only remembered that when he was talking, the girl had fallen asleep on his shoulder.

And under the moonlight, the girl's smile is so beautiful, so simple, so unforgettable......
