The most elegant of the ten peers in Changjing is no longer there.

The original Hexian Tower, which was full of dignitaries and dignitaries, has now closed its doors after the funeral of the late Jiang girl.

This is the junction of the east and west cities, there are often celebrities and dignitaries passing in front of the door, if the original old customers, they can't help but stop, look at the deserted door, think of the original drinking and listening to the piano here days, think of the sound of the piano that seems to come from the sky, and the peerless style of the piano fairy, can not help sighing.

However, some neighbors said that at night, it was vaguely as if they heard the sound of the piano in the Hexian Tower, which was still beautiful, but it could only be heard when they were half-asleep and half-awake and confused.

Once sober and listened carefully, it disappeared without a trace.

One or two are okay, many neighbors say so, and they can't help but be a little frightened, thinking that there is something strange, and some literati are happy because of this, feeling that the girl of Wanjiang has not left, but is still guarding this crane fairy tower, if it is not to save face, I am afraid that I will bring a jacket over the wall and spend the night in the house.

As for the maids beside Miss Jiang that night, no one knew where they had gone with the old men who had been following them.

Snow began to fall in Changjing.

This is not the sleet on the day of the winter solstice, it is a goose feather snow.

The heavy snow made the sky dark, and the pedestrians on the street all shrank their hands and necks, and walked in a hurry, and some people shrank at the foot of the wall to avoid the wind, huddled into a ball, and a group of people did not know whether they knew each other, and gathered together to avoid the severe cold.

On the attic of Hexian Tower, it is still an open attic, there is a woman standing on the edge, holding on to the railing and looking down, snowflakes are flying, white yarn is fluttering, but pedestrians below can't see her.

Footsteps could be heard behind him.

"This year's severe cold and I don't know how many people will freeze to death." The woman said without looking back, her voice soft and quiet.

"You've really been in Changjing for too long, you've communicated with people too much, and you're about to treat yourself as a human being." The voice of the maid came from behind him, "We are not human, how many people have frozen to death in this Changjing, and how much does it have to do with us?" It's not for us to die. ”

"Justified ......"

"There are so many more foxes dying in the wild every year than people dying each year." The maid smiled and said, "We don't care about the life or death of ordinary foxes, the emperors and generals of Changjing, and the gods of the Heavenly Palace don't care about ordinary people, maybe they will be happier if some more people freeze to death." Anyway, there are more people and less land now, if it weren't for that Yan Xian, it would have become a disaster, and some more people would freeze to death, and they could also be filled into the ghost city of Fengzhou. ”

"One by one, ......"

"I'm Sansan."

"It's Sansan......"

"Why can't you even tell your own tail?" The maid said with some dissatisfaction.

"There are too many tails."

The woman's voice was still calm, without any sense of shame.

The eight tails all look the same, and they can also distinguish who is first and who is behind, who is left and who is right, and if it falls, it becomes a matter of course that they can't tell the difference. As everyone knows, some animals have only one tail and can't figure out if it's their own.

As soon as he wanted to say something, he felt a dark fragrance coming from the wind, coming from the courtyard on the side.

The woman couldn't help but turn her head to look.

There is a plum tree in the yard, it has been ten years, this tree has always bloomed without leaves, in this winter season, the branches are black, as if dead, but there are white spots between the branches.

It's not yellow plum, it's not red plum, it's white and green calyx, and from a distance, you can see white and victorious snow, and if you don't look carefully, you think it's snowflakes accumulating on the trunk.

But of course, it is not snow, how can snow have a fragrance.

"The plum blossoms are blooming......"

"Just opened, right?"

"Is the Taoist Master of Fulongguan back?"

"How do I know?" "I don't even know where he's gone." ”

"It's to go to Beiqin Mountain to find the snake fairy."

"How do you know?"

"Guess."

The woman replied calmly.

"If you go to find the snake fairy, you must talk about the ghost town of Fengzhou of the national teacher, aren't you afraid?" The maid asked with a grin.

"What's so scary about this? Just go with the flow. The woman turned her head to look at the plum blossoms that Ling Han was blooming alone, and said, "If you can get it, it is fate, and if you can't get it, you will get in touch with Fulongguan." ”

"You can see it."

"And what's the solution?"

"Knowing that the heirs of Fulongguan are going down the mountain, the national teacher should have made sufficient preparations in the past few years, I see, even if it is the heirs of Fulongguan, they may not be able to break the ten thousand laws with one force."

"Did you say he's back?"

"If you go to Beiqin Mountain, it's been so many days, you should come back, right?" The maid said, "Do you want me to go and have a look?" ”

As soon as she said that, she turned around on the spot, turned into a red-eyed white fox, and lay down to tickle with her hind feet.

"It's been more than half a month since we last met, and we should pay a visit." The woman said, "The plum blossoms are blooming, so you can fold one for me." ”

"Would you like to inquire about it?"

"Don't guess."

"Don't you want me to go check it out first?"

"You should have gone yourself."

"Well learned......"

The maid grinned and said in a mocking tone.

After a while, the woman covered her face with a light veil, came out of the side door, only took a white plum in her hand, and took a little white fox to Xicheng slowly, enjoying the snow while walking.

Speaking of her dress is similar to before, although she covers her face with a light veil, her temperament is really dusty, ordinary people should also look sideways when they see it, if they meet an acquaintance, they can recognize her as Wanjiang at a glance, but no one has cast a strange look at her along the way, as if they can't see her.

From here to Willow Street, there are countless streets and alleys.

All the way to the people's livelihood.

The woman seemed to be in good spirits, walking very slowly, it was already dim, and the time was one night, and the snow was falling, as if it was already dark, but the difference with the dark was that this kind of light and no light would last for a long time before it was completely dark.

There are no pedestrians on the streets.

However, there is occasional smoke in the houses on both sides, and the smell of food and various movements can be heard.

The woman's interest became stronger and stronger, and the closer she approached Willow Street, the brighter her eyebrows became, until she reached Willow Street and stopped at the door of the store with the word "Dao" flag and shop signs.

But the door was locked, and there was no one inside.

"Hee-hee-hee......"

The little white fox next to her looked up at her, his eyes narrowed slightly, he was already a fox, and the corners of his mouth were slightly grinning, as if he was smiling: "I just said let me take a look first, now it's okay, eat a bowl and close the door." ”

"It doesn't matter."

The woman smiled slightly: "Let's go back." ”

"It's snowing so hard! To make a fruitless trip! ”

"It's good, too."

"I haven't heard about it, and I haven't seen it, so can this be called good?"

"Just on the fly." As the woman walked, she said calmly, "Now that the interest is exhausted, it doesn't hurt if you don't see it." ”

"Well learned......"

The little white fox said with a grin.

Two figures, returning at night in the wind and snow.

……

At this time, on Beiqin Mountain, the two apprentices of Doctor Cai had just copied the first half of the Cai Medicine Sutra, carefully sorted it out, and handed it over to Song You.

It's a thick pile of paper.

After Song You took it, he looked at it first, and then cast spells one after another, like a family heirloom painting of Master Dou at the beginning, so that it would not be injured by swords and fire, and then wrapped it layer by layer with oiled paper, and wrapped it into a package that could be carried on his body with a square cloth, and said to Doctor Cai:

"The divine doctor can rest assured, in the decision to save it as a good life, and when the divine doctor finishes writing the second half, we will come back to get it, which is the brainchild of the divine doctor, and no matter what, it will be passed on to the world."

"Thank you, sir."

"There are two talismans here."

Song You stretched out his hand and took out two talismans, both of which were folded into triangles, which were easy to carry: "Before writing the medical scriptures, it is best for the divine doctor not to go down the mountain, and do not leave this place easily. ”

"Yes."

"Be careful, step by step, and put your body first. How to take care of your body, I don't need to remind you to come to the miracle doctor. Song You smiled at him, "Let's go down the mountain, my horse will stay on the mountain, if the three of you have any needs, if you see it, you can ask it for help, just tell it truthfully, it can understand people's words." If not, it must have gone somewhere else. ”

"Sir is really a great ......"

"Divine doctors don't have to be like this, and they don't have to be sent far away." After Song You finished speaking, he picked up the package, turned around and left, "Farewell." ”

Doctor Cai and the two apprentices still sent him to the door.

I saw the Taoist with his bags, walking away with a cane in the wind and snow, and a cat behind him stopped and stopped, looking back at them when they stopped, and the red horse followed silently.

There is another snake road in the mountains and forests.

Song You will walk more easily along the snake road.

At the end of the snake road is at the top of a mountain, which is already the edge of the depths of the Beiqin Mountains and the boundary of the earth, standing on the top of the mountain, you can already overlook the distant mountain village, and the snake road ends here. And at the end, an old man sat on a boulder, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon.

Song You stepped forward and saluted:

"This is goodbye to my predecessors."

"Leaving Beijing in the spring?"

"Yes, I will leave Beijing at the beginning of spring."

"It's not long."

"It's not long coming." Song You said to the snake fairy, "Thank you seniors for taking care of you." ”

The snake fairy still sat cross-legged, his face was old, his eyes were closed, he didn't look at him, and he didn't respond to his thanks, but said: "If you need help in the future, you can ask the swallow in the sky to come to Beiqin Mountain to find me, while I can still move." ”

"Yes."

"No."

"Okay."

Song You also continued to walk down the mountain.

The jujube red horse followed again, and only stopped when it was almost to the mountain village in front of it.

The snake fairy then opened her eyes and looked at them.

The snow-capped mountains are reckless, and they have gone far.

“……”

The snake fairy didn't know what to think, shook his head and smiled, and then continued to close his eyes.

The essence of heaven and earth is all gathered here.

Song You went to the ghost market to see a circle, and when he returned to Changjing, it was already the morning of the fourth day, the city gate was very lively, a long team of entourages and carriages came out of the city, no one opened the road, just walked out of the city quietly, but there was still an indescribable momentum.

Many people watched and talked about it.
