The dark clouds obscured the original bright moonlight, and although the Zhenlong chess game had been lifted, the changes in heaven and earth caused by it continued.

It rained, and it fell.

The rain fell on Xu Yue's head, he raised his head blankly, stretched out his hand, and said puzzledly:

"Is it true that the duel in the rivers and lakes is always accompanied by rain?"

After drinking the last glass of wine, Li Canglan closed his eyes, and a rope of cause and effect invisible to the naked eye quietly broke.

"Actually, I already knew that in Yanyu Lane that year, whether my mood was broken, or my sword heart collapsed, it was just an excuse for me to escape from this world, but since you are dead, then I will not pursue it."

Dropping the wine glass casually, the next moment, Li Canglan took a step towards the void in front of him, as if he was stepping on a stone, and walked slowly towards Jiangnan Villa step by step.

On the roof of Yuejiang Tower, there is a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue costume and embroidered with gorgeous cloud patterns, holding a blue long sword in his hand, and he is sitting on the roof at the moment.

A strong sword intent came from under his feet, on the top floor of Yuejiang Tower, there was no window in the dark room, it was dark and quiet, this floor was specially covered by the Jiangnan Province Lingfeng Mansion Si Cheng Dugu in order to erect a sword here.

Li Canglan paused for a moment, turned his head in the direction of Yuejiang Tower and said:

"Some things have to be dealt with after all, some people have to say goodbye after all, old friend, you can wait for a while!"

Immediately, with one hand pressing, the sword intent of the famous sword laughing rivers and lakes erected on the top floor of Yuejiang Tower gradually converged, and finally turned into calm.

The man on the roof stood up and saluted in the direction of Pinghu Villa:

"The younger generation is arbitrary, and on the order of the old ancestor Dugu, I am here to congratulate Senior Li on returning to the Tianshu Realm."

Aside from the Pure Spirit Patriarch, one of the entire rivers and lakes sword road was born thirty years ago because of Li Canglan's sideways, although he flocked to it and imitated his immortal posture a lot, but it also fell into a long-term downturn because of this high mountain.

This situation did not get any better after Li Canglan disappeared from the rivers and lakes.

There are talented people in the rivers and lakes, and new people replace old people in ten years.

In this generation of rivers and lakes, the white gentleman of Bailing County, Muzhou, crowned the way of the sword with his awe-inspiring sword intent, and the Yuanfeng County of Yuxia Prefecture talked about the invincible swordsmanship road with a smile on the seventy-six roads of family learning.

His gaze passed through dozens of miles, and fell on the roof ridge, Li Canglan said:

"Say hello to that old guy Dugu for me, I'll have a drink with him after this incident."

When I heard this, I couldn't help but throb in my heart.

Although the old ancestor Dugu was already an immortal who could not be seen in the world, it was Li Canglan who really made him decide to embark on the path of the sword.

At that time, there was no child of the rivers and lakes who did not yearn for the appearance of immortals.

"What Immortal Li said, the younger generation will definitely relay the ancestor!"

At this moment, in Pinghu Villa, their conversation was not heard by anyone present.

Wei Zigeng and the others didn't stop him, they just looked at him silently, watching the once high-spirited immortal Li Canglan walk away.

Walking nearly ten zhang, Li Canglan seemed to remember something, turned to Wei Zigeng and the others and said:

"Wei Shaoxia, don't forget the agreement with Sun Zhongjing, that person is the most small-bellied chicken intestine, as for what you want to ask, I will naturally answer for you when I understand the matter."

Wei Zigeng looked at the back that was gradually moving away, and in a daze, he seemed to see the figure of the beggar who used to drink and sleep under the old willow tree.

He walked side by side with Li Canglan, and then disappeared into the hazy drizzle.

Vaguely, Wei Zigeng heard the illusory figure turn his head, smiled at him and said:

"Mountains and rivers meet, Zigeng, we will have a period later."

Looking at the worn-out long sword in his hand, Wei Zigeng smiled helplessly.

"What's there going to be later?"

A golden light appeared under the clouds, and the rain gradually stopped, and after a few moments it was already dawn.

After a moment of astonishment, Wei Zigeng and the others jumped off the roof, and Cheng Xi beckoned his subordinates to pack up the wine and food in the pavilion, and then dispersed.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Before returning to the house, Wei Zigeng noticed that the eldest lady Cheng Qing was still standing alone in the pavilion, her eyes were empty, and she seemed to be distracted by something.

Hearing Wei Zigeng's words, he woke up leisurely, blinked his eyes, and suddenly saw Wei Zigeng looking at her in front of her, his face couldn't help but turn red, and he hurriedly turned around.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, thank you for your concern. ”

After knowing each other for so long, Cheng Qing is still used to calling Wei Zigeng a young shopkeeper.

Then he said softly:

"Being in Jiangnan Province, I grew up listening to the story of Li Canglan, a fairy since I was a child, dreaming of being able to become a chivalrous man like him, fighting swords in Tsing Yi, riding horses in the rivers and lakes, although I have been arrested many times when I left home alone, and I also disguised myself as a woman and wanted to join the army to be the second in the city that season, but after all, it backfired, but even so, I still dream of being able to make a name for myself as a daughter in the rivers and lakes."

After saying it in one breath, Cheng Qing sighed, and finally smiled helplessly, while Wei Zigeng stood aside and listened patiently to Cheng Qing.

"Hey, but one day, when the legendary sword fairy really stood in front of him, he learned that it was not so easy for the knights of the rivers and lakes, and they were not ignorant of the fireworks of the world, and even had more troubles and sorrows than ordinary people, and even had to pay more for it, so ......"

In the end, Cheng Qing was a little ignorant, the dream of the rivers and lakes for nearly twenty years seemed to be completely shattered in an instant just now.

Wei Zigeng looked at Cheng Qing, who was sorrowful, and said with a smile:

"So, you think the rivers and lakes shouldn't be like this?"

Cheng Qing turned his head, looked at Wei Zigeng's warm smile as always, and asked:

"Isn't it? Riding horses and howling the west wind, when encountering injustice, I am leveling it with a sword, isn't this how the rivers and lakes are? Why do you have to look ahead and backward when you use your sword? ”

"Miss, then you are wrong."

Cheng Qing's face changed from sadness to doubt, and Wei Zigeng continued:

"Do you know Yuyu Building in Yuzhou?"

"Then I naturally know, Yuyulou is a veritable immortal mansion, and there are rangers who have traveled the rivers and lakes who have seen it, and all of them are immortals in white clothes."

Cheng Qing didn't think about it, Wei Zigeng said with a smile:

"But do you know that every half a decade people in Yuyu Lou go to the market to buy daily necessities, such as food and drink. They are just like us, they need to fill their stomachs and eat whole grains. ”

"This ......"

Obviously, Cheng Qing couldn't believe what Wei Zigeng said.

But she just didn't dare to believe it, not that she didn't believe it.

"Then do you know that there is a saying in the rivers and lakes, called a penny hero? The eldest lady also knows that I grew up in the Jianghu Inn since I was a child, and I have seen too many martial artists and fairy swordsmen and heroines who look majestic on weekdays because they can only eat three cents and a pot of burning knives because they are shy in their pockets, and I have also seen them fight for their heads because of the reward of fifty taels of silver, or even just because of a trivial matter, sometimes maybe just because of a disagreement and draw their swords against each other, aren't they in the rivers and lakes? ”

Listening to Wei Zigeng's words, Cheng Qing's eyes were gloomy.

No one had ever spoken to her before, and the most she had to say was that she was caught back by Mr. Cheng, and the old man said bitterly something like "the rivers and lakes are sinister", and he was even reluctant to say anything serious.

But how sinister the rivers and lakes are, how can she, as the eldest lady of Pinghu Villa, be born with a golden spoon in her mouth.

Wei Zigeng's question was not answered, and after a pause, he continued:

"Miss, in fact, if you patiently walk around Lingzhou City, you can find that the rivers and lakes are beside you, the peddlers are pawns, leading pots to extract pulp, and everyone is greeted with a smile, but in private they will secretly scold that the business that can be done just now has been disturbed by someone, this is their rivers and lakes. In the battle for territory between beggars, if other beggars occupy his territory, they will fight, which is also the rivers and lakes. Inn restaurant, words leave three points, people have three sides, this is the rivers and lakes. Even in this huge Pinghu Mountain Villa, there are large and small rivers and lakes. ”

At the end of the words, Wei Zigeng made a move to hug the entire Pinghu Villa. Seeing his appearance, Cheng Qing, who was stunned, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Eh, just laugh, laugh is right, we don't know how much better than many people, even if some people are abandoned since birth, but they have never felt sorry for themselves, sad and sad, there is a smile on his face every day, and even his smile can affect the people around him, and he is as happy, I think such people are real heroes, real happy heroes, such rivers and lakes are really worth aspiring to, rather than a word of disagreement, fight and kill."

In the end, Wei Zigeng couldn't help but look at Xu Yue's room, at this moment, there was already a snoring sound in his room, and the young man had already fallen asleep without heart or lungs.

looked at Cheng Qing's waist, there was a jade flute pinned there, this jade flute was carried by Cheng Qing all the time, but he had never seen her blow.

"The eldest lady loves to play the flute? I watched the eldest lady's flute from the bottom, but why did I never hear the eldest lady blow? ”

After listening, Cheng Qing took a deep breath, then spit out the depression in his heart, smiled, and then took out the jade flute pinned to his waist and said to Wei Zigeng:

"At that time, in order to dispel my heart to go out, my father gave me this jade flute, which is a relic of my mother, since my mother died of illness, this jade flute my father has never left his hand, although I don't know anything about music, but I have always been with me."

Cheng Qing's mother is the first wife of Mr. Cheng, and she has been following Mr. Cheng at the end of the year.

Before he died, he personally took a concubine for Mr. Cheng, and he did not pass away with peace of mind until he saw the second lady born in the second room.

Although Cheng Qing, Cheng Huan and Cheng Xi are not siblings of the same mother, the sister-brother relationship between them is undoubted.

Speaking of her deceased mother, her smile is still the same, Wei Zigeng only feels like a spring breeze, and Cheng Qing's mother must also be an excellent woman.

Looking at the eldest lady's smile, Wei Zigeng couldn't help but think of his sister, Wei Ziqing.

"I don't know how Ziqing is now, but the luck of a woman who loves to laugh will not be too bad."

What Wei Zigeng was thinking was noticed by Cheng Qing, and he couldn't help asking:

"What's wrong with the shopkeeper? I was still enlightening me just now, but now I look like I'm worried. ”

Wei Zigeng smiled helplessly and said:

"Nothing, just thinking of my sister, who used to be a very laughing girl, but since two years ago ......"

Two years ago, in the battle of Yuzhou City, Su Qi'er and Zhou Ying died, and then Wei Ziqing entered Yuyu Tower at the cost of giving up his seven emotions and six desires.

Since then, the siblings have not seen each other again.

Seeing the gloom of the young man, Cheng Qing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"It's not a secret, the reputation of the housekeeper is much bigger than that of the shopkeeper now, and at a young age, she became the personal disciple of Yuyulou Taixuan Zhenjun, and she is the youngest great monk of the Hedao Realm in the world.

Wei Zigeng raised his head, the two looked at each other and smiled, and each left, but they didn't know that the rope of cause and effect had been quietly tied.
