Shuiyun Street is the main road from east to west of Yong'an City, and it is also the most beautiful street in Yong'an City.

At this time, it was already morning, and the morning mist had already been washed away by the rising sun, and the water was sparkling again, like a precious silver ribbon, laid in the prosperous and lively Yong'an City.

Since you are walking on Shuiyun Street, you naturally want to take a walk on Qishui, which is proposed by Liu Ping.

Bai Jiu thought about it, he really hadn't been on a boat on this water.

A half-old boatman and a half-old ship.

In spring, the willow branches spit out new shoots, the weeping willows on both sides of the bank are tender and the willow leaves are just green. There were a few weeping willows near the water's edge, and the willow branches hung down into the water, passing through the water, driving the willow branches to beckon, as if the girl on the shore was shyly greeting, and it was also like a reluctant send-off.

Along the way, Liu Ping just looked at the surrounding scenery, and from time to time he stretched his sword into the water and provoked several splashes. His sword seemed to be clean after being washed by Qi Shui, and then he nodded in satisfaction, and put it in its sheath as the boat walked to Seifu-in.

Bai Jiu asked, "Do you want to go in and take a walk?" ”

Liu Ping didn't speak, he motioned to the boatman to stop, and then stood at the bow of the boat, holding the long sword in his hand, looking at the four big characters "Qingfeng Zilai" on the porch of Qingfeng Courtyard in a daze.

After a long time, Liu Ping turned around, saluted Bai Jiu, and said apologetically: "I apologize for what I said in the Qianlong test." ”

Without waiting for Bai Jiu to speak, he continued: "It's a pity that I don't have the opportunity to study here in this life, just these four words of breeze make me feel a sense of scholarly anger, but unfortunately I can only be called a Jianghu Lang'er!" ”

After saying that, he turned to the boatman and asked, "Boatman, do you have any wine?" ”

...........

Shuiyun Street is very long, but no matter how long it is, there is a time when it comes to the end, I got off the boat, paid the boatman a few taels of silver, and the two went ashore and began to walk forward.

There is no wide avenue outside the eastern part of the city, because there is a mountain in the eastern part of the city, and it is covered with evergreen bamboo.

There is a winding path at the bottom of the hill, just big enough for two carriages to go side by side.

Liu Ping said that he didn't drink too much, but his face was red. He even began to complain about why he didn't even say hello when he left Baihua Lane, and he didn't even know what the surname of the senior sister of the Yellow Valley was.

Bai Jiu said: "When you become famous in Dongzhou, Liu Daxia will naturally go to the Yellow Valley to take a look, and when the time comes, the Yellow Valley will not be shocked, and respectfully give you that woman." ”

Liu Ping blushed and laughed, and said, "Bai Daxia, you are very good at sending words!" ”

Bai Jiu smiled and asked, "Where is it good?" ”

Liu Ping patted him on the shoulder and said, "Fortunately, it highlights my reputation as a hero, and fortunately, it publicizes my status in the rivers and lakes. Don't you want to send that female disciple out respectfully? ”

Bai Jiu suddenly hugged him, and secretly stuffed the silver ticket that had already been usurped in his hand into Liu Ping's clothes.

Even if you are in the rivers and lakes, you can't be short of money.

Maybe it was because he drank too much, Liu Ping didn't notice it, he pushed Bai Jiu away a little awkwardly, and said: "Okay, I don't like men, not to mention that you look shabby." ”

Bai Jiu was not angry, and said with a smile: "The hero also cares about this little summary? ”

Liu Ping hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is at the foot of Zhushan, under the Lingmen Academy, let's not say anything more about this kind of thing." ”

Bai Jiu said: "You also know these rules? ”

Liu Ping said: "You will be a disciple of Lingmen Academy in the future, and your identity will naturally be different." I am a man of two extremes. ”

Bai Jiu looked at him, seemed to hear the overtone in Liu Ping's words, and said, "Then what do you want?" ”

Liu Ping smiled and said, "If one day, can you go with me to the Yellow Valley?" ”

Bai Jiu said: "Yes." ”

Liu Ping laughed, said a word, said goodbye, didn't stay too long, turned around and walked into the distance.

Bai Jiu looked at the background of Liu Ping's departure, remembered the look of his fascination when he was cleaning the long sword in Qi Shui, and said in a low voice: "Liu Daxia, let's go!" ”

........

What is the effect of the Qianlong test on Bai Jiu? Maybe that's one of them.

Bai Jiu met a friend, from a second-rate sect, an authentic Jianghu Lang'er, just because of a sentence, he worked hard for Bai Jiu.

Today, this friend is gone, the flowers are colorful, the water washes the sword, the breeze comes, and the bamboo mountain is goodbye.

The rivers and lakes are far-reaching, and I don't know when I will see you again.

The moon is bright, the stars are dim, and there are no clouds.

In a place in the southern city of Yong'an City, there is a small Taoist temple standing in the middle of the private house.

Yulu has been living here for the past few days, one is that the small Taoist temple is relatively remote, although there is little incense, but it is also relatively quiet. The second is that the geographical location of this small Taoist temple is good, there is a small lake not far from the Taoist temple, and the lake water comes from the Qishui of Shuiyun Street.

The night is silent, the lake is quiet, and the hearts of the people are calm.

The lake reflects the bright moon and the figures on the shore.

Yulu sat by the lake, this contemporary senior brother with the most special status in the Daomen, I don't know what he was thinking? Maybe it's about the world, maybe it's about immortality, maybe it's something else.

Tianyu didn't know when he came from a distance, and he didn't know until after the end of the Qianlong test that the senior brother had also come to Yong'an City, and I heard that it was still the master's meaning.

"I've seen Senior Brother." Celestial salute.

Yulu didn't return the salute, he retracted his thoughts, turned his head to look at Tianyu, his eyes showed a very genuine smile, and said happily: "You're here?" ”

Then, motioning for him to sit down as well.

Tianyu sat down, looked at this familiar figure, and asked suspiciously, "Why did Senior Brother come to Yong'an City?" Could it be the master's meaning? ”

Yulu nodded with a smile, he looked at the clear lake, and said softly: "The fairy sword landed in the world, and there was a strange thing recorded in the Dao Tibet, but the fairy sword rioted, but I don't know why?" ”

Tianyu was slightly stunned after hearing this, and thought carefully about his senior brother's words.

Then he noticed that the figure of the senior brother was a little brighter in his sea of consciousness. Then he noticed that the bright moonlight in the middle of the night fell on the slightly whitish blue robe on Yu Lu's body, exuding an extremely faint and clean light, as if the jade under the moonlight was exuding crystals.

At this time, Tianyu suddenly knew that the realm of the original senior brother was higher than before, and what surprised him even more was that the senior brother at this moment seemed to be in some kind of opportunity.

There are willows and stones by the lake, willow trees are full of new buds, hanging slowly, and the position of the two is just under the tree, sitting on the bluestone.

Tianyu looked at the faint luster on his body, suppressed the shock in his heart, and asked softly: "Senior brother has not returned from many years of travel, what kind of adventure has he encountered, and he has reached such a realm?" ”

The path of cultivation is endless, and no one knows where the end is, but everyone knows that the further you go, the more difficult it becomes. For example, if you climb high and look far away, the previous road is always a gentle slope, and when you reach a higher place, there are many cliffs and rocks, and the steep walls are slippery, and it is likely that you will be hated for eternity if you stumble.

Tianyu, as the contemporary elder brother of the Daomen, has the most special status, the only descendant of Qingjing Peak, as early as more than ten years ago, he has already reached the highest point of the cultivation path, and it is not easy to go further on the foundation.

Therefore, when Tianyu saw the faint luster on Yulu's body, it was obvious that he was in some kind of opportunity, and he had some doubts in his heart, and even worried about whether the senior brother had chosen some shortcuts.

As a senior brother, the relationship is naturally cordial. The sound of Tianyu's words, Yulu naturally knew it, so he shook his head and said with a smile: "Senior brother, where is there any elixir." ”

Yulu naturally didn't know how to take medicine, even if Daomen had the most precious Guiyuan Pill in the world, he had never tried it. Because before he became the descendant of the Pure Pure Peak, when he started cultivating, he had always believed that if his cultivation relied on external forces, then he would be no different from a parasite, and he would never be able to find his own path and reach the true other side.

And it wasn't until Tianyu mentioned it that Yulu discovered the strangeness of his body.

The clear and pure Dao heart that followed him through thousands of mountains and rivers and a long road for thousands of miles actually appeared some kind of crack, like a lake blown by the wind at this time, trembling slightly.

I thought that Yong'an, the first male city in the world, was really unusual.

Yulu thought for a moment and said slowly: "The fairy sword rioted again and was suppressed and taken away by Lingmen. ”

Tianyu was suddenly startled as if he had been electrocuted, and sat there in a daze, his brows furrowed deeply.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "That Bai Jiu?" ”

Yulu said: "I have heard the results of the Qianlong test, and Uncle Luoxia has also told me some of the general things, but some details, I need you to tell me about it." ”

Tianyu said: "This is also the reason why I came to find Senior Brother. Some of what happened was miraculous and unbelievable. ”

.............

The night passed, the dawn was rising, the spring was blooming, and it was time for the Qianlong test to be released.

The place where the Qianlong test is released is not in Yew Garden, but at the intersection of Shenwu Avenue and Shuiyun Street, where there is a wide square.

Today, the sky is cloudless, and the sun is constantly falling, dispelling the chill of early spring, and the temperature is as hot as the atmosphere.

No matter where you go, there will be a lot of people, not to mention that this is the center of Yong'an City.

The vendors selling melon seeds and tea on the periphery are naturally the busiest people, and the soldiers and officials who maintain order are still the hardest working people. Only those who drink tea, knock melon seeds, and greet acquaintances with officials and soldiers from time to time are the most leisurely, and they don't have to worry about anything to watch the excitement, of course, it is a leisurely thing.

The square was crowded with thousands of locals and foreign tourists, black everywhere, and excitement was written on their faces. Even the nearest teahouse, Wanghe Tower, has also relaxed the rules today, except for the high-rise can not enter the noisy, the middle and lower levels of the people, can enter at will, just order a cup of tea.

A ceremonial official in a vermilion court dress stood on the stone steps on the north side of the square, with his back to the flowing Qishui, holding a silk book in his hand, and reading aloud the top three in this year's Qianlong test.

In front of and behind him, there were a total of sixteen priests of the Ministry of Rites, who accompanied him with whips. Every time the ceremonial official announces a name, the sixteen ceremonial wrestlers will wave their whips in their hands in unison, so that the crisp sound of breaking the air will resound throughout the square, overwhelming the crowd's discussions, and taking advantage of the silence of that moment, the court musicians who have been waiting for a long time will play a song in celebration.

When the official announces the name of a person, there is a rush of applause, whether you know it or not, it is right to shout anyway.

The candidates waiting on one side of the square, sorted out their clothes, and under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, came to the stone steps to accept the congratulations of the people and the commendation of the Dayu court.
