Xu Huaigu thanked Wei Caiyi and went to the mountainside to find Li Zi. In fact, Xu Huaigu didn't know what he wanted to say to her when he met Li Zi.

He just vaguely felt that if he didn't even dare to meet her on this side, he would really be a bit like a coward, and even he would look down on himself.

Xu Huaigu felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he also knew that Li Zi might really have some different emotions for him, but after all, he didn't make it clear, and these words were still difficult to say.

He couldn't help but think of Yu Qinlai, was he worthy of her by doing this? Every step under his feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and the more he thought about it, the more scruples he felt in his heart, and he walked more and more slowly.

After walking more than a mile, he walked up the mountainside, and the sound of flowing water was heard in his ears. He walked to the place where the sound came from, but half a mile, as Wei Caiyi said, saw a waterfall hanging between the cliffs, about 20 zhang high, and the turbulent water fell from the height, smashing out snow-white splashes.

Under the waterfall is a deep pool, the strange rocks on the edge of the pool are craggy, there is a woman in a goose yellow dress sitting on a big bluestone, holding a wooden talisman knife in her hand, and drawing on the bluestone.

Xu Huaigu stopped in the woods and looked at Li Zi for a while, only to see that after she drew a talisman, she looked up at the waterfall.

After a while, she tucked the talisman into her sleeve, took out a blank talisman paper, and continued to draw.

She kept repeating the talisman, so that Xu Huaigu was about to walk in front of her, she noticed the footsteps behind her, so she looked back suddenly, and saw that it was Xu Huaigu, her eyes were stagnant, and then she lowered her eyelids, turned her head and continued to draw talismans, without saying a word of greeting.

Xu Huaigu sat down cross-legged across from her and watched Li Zi draw talismans. The waterfall was filled with moisture, and her clothes and hair were covered with tiny droplets, and her eyelashes were shiny.

Li Zi's breath was not very steady, and his hand that drew the talisman trembled slightly, and he accidentally gave up his efforts and invalidated this talisman.

She frowned slightly, rubbed the rune paper into her hand, and threw it into the pool. The rune paper is hydrophilic and slowly sinks to the bottom of the pool.

She took two deep breaths and adjusted her breath. Knowing that she couldn't draw a talisman today, she picked up the peach wood scabbard beside her, put the talisman knife in, and also looked at Xu Huaigu.

Xu Huaigu wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know where to start. The two sat opposite each other, the wind blowing in the mountains, and the sleeves of their clothes fluttering.

Li Zi straightened the wind-blown hair on his sideburns, and asked softly, "How did you find it?" Xu Huaigu replied: "I was wandering in the mountains, and I heard the sound of water, so I walked this way, and I happened to see you." Li Zi shook his head and said, "But you look like you have known that I am here for a long time." Xu Huaigu was speechless, so he had to nod slightly.

Li Zi turned his head to the side, didn't look at him, and sighed abruptly: "Okay, don't talk about these things." Why did you come to me? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen you in town these days, and I want to talk to you."

"Talk?" Li Zi frowned slightly, pursed his lips,

"What did you say?"

"Actually, I didn't mean to say anything, I just wanted to chat with you, just like before." A trace of dazedness flashed in Li Zi's eyes, but he suddenly became resolute, gritted his teeth, and said, "I don't know what to talk to you about, if there is nothing important, please go back." Xu Huaigu was taken aback and a little dazed.

He stood up, and Li Zi turned his head away from looking at him. But Xu Huaigu seemed to be a little unwilling, stood stunned for a long time, and then sat back down.

So Xu Huaigu began to have nothing to say.

"How long have you been sitting here?"

"Four or five days."

"Drawing talismans all the time?"

"Well, when you draw a talisman, your heart will be calm."

"Aren't you tired?"

"It's okay, draw one and rest for a while, but I'm not tired. When I was in Taihua Mountain, I almost always came here like this, but there was no waterfall there, and I painted in front of a bamboo forest all day long. Xu Huaigu smiled and said, "Won't you get tired of looking at bamboo every day?" ”

"At first glance, you will feel fresh, after watching for a long time, you will get tired, and if you look at it for a longer time, you will feel at ease. This is what Master told me, and I tried it according to what he said, and it was really not bad. ”

"Naturally, I have also seen your master's skills. He can't be wrong about what he said. ”

"But he told me not to see you again." Xu Huaigu was stunned again, then lowered his head, stunned, and didn't know what to say.

"Master is very good to me, I know that he said this for my good, but he just went back to his hometown, how can I not see you?" The wind was blowing more and more, Li Zi straightened his sideburns again, and his eyebrows were full of melancholy.

She looked at the clouds in the distance and frowned. Xu Huaigu argued: "I just want us to be good friends as before, nothing to say, nothing to talk about, nothing to talk about, that's all." ”

"Naturally, you think so, it's me who has overstepped." Xu Huaigu looked at her in surprise, Li Zi had already lowered her head, so that people couldn't see the expression on her face.

After a while, a slightly choked voice came, and Li Zi said angrily: "I have obviously deliberately left you, what are you still looking for me for?" You go, you go! Xu Huaigu began to panic in his heart.

He was at a loss, and he only felt that if he left at this time, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life. But he didn't know what to do.

After thinking about it for a while, he scooped a handful of water from the bluestone, handed it to her, and said, "Wash your face." Li Zi raised her head, and there were only tears flickering in the corners of her eyes.

Seeing Xu Huaigu holding the water helplessly, a great sadness flashed in her heart. Maybe in his heart, he also occupies an acre and a third of land.

It's just that he already has the person who will always be with him, and he can't tolerate others anymore. He cares about himself, but in fact, he just feels guilty.

I have been separated from him for many years, and how many things have happened a long time ago, and they are irreparable. He has been staying in the mountains, and what he has seen and heard is limited, but he has already walked through two continents on foot, and has gone through ten years of wind and rain in the wilderness.

I had a good start with him, but after all, I took a different path. At the first fork in the road, they said goodbye, and then they met again, but it was too late.

Even if there is no Yu Qin, there will always be other women who accompany him and walk through the rivers and lakes one after another.

And when he entered Taihua Mountain, the immortals were separated, the ways were different, and they no longer conspired with each other. The two tears condensed into droplets, running down her cheeks.

It's good, it's good. Even if it was only the two of them in the mountains, he never made any transgressions because of his liking for him.

The gentleman's words and deeds are affectionate and polite, and he has not misjudged him. After thinking about this clearly, Li Zi's heart suddenly brightened.

Originally, she had been breathing a sigh in her heart, but at this time, she understood that it was impossible for her and Xu Huaigu to live in this life, and suddenly all this breath was vented.

The reason why she stayed away from Wuliang Town and chose to draw talismans in the mountains was because she still had him in her heart, and she cared.

However, at this moment, she herself cut off the last remaining hope, and her heart seemed to clear the clouds and see the blue sky, and all the gloom was swept away.

Buddhism and Taoism have their own interpretations of this kind of enlightenment, Buddhism calls it Zen machine, and Taoism calls this epiphany.

These thoughts flashed through her mind. After thinking about this, she put away her tears, looked at Xu Huaigu, suddenly burst into laughter, and said generously: "It's just a handful of water, I'll come by myself, I don't need you to do it." Li Zi stood up, walked to the edge of the pool, bowed down and washed his face, and then walked back to sit opposite Xu Huaigu.

Xu Huaigu felt as if in that moment, her whole temperament seemed to have changed, she looked at her with some surprise, and asked, "Are you okay?" Li Zi's eyelashes were moist, her eyebrows were curved, and she smiled: "It's much better." Xu Huaigu smiled and said, "That's good." ”

"You know what, Xu Huaigu." Li Zi looked straight at him,

"I used to like you, and even just an hour ago, I was still agonizing about you." Xu Huaigu also looked at her, sat upright, and nodded.

To say that Xu Huaigu didn't know at all was a lie. So many people, including Wei Caiyi and Yu Qin, could see that Li Zi had a different kind of affection for Xu Huaigu, if he didn't know it, unless it was a stone, he would have a ghost in his heart.

"There are many things that can't be forced, and so far in my life, Li Zi, I have never encountered something that can't be solved, but I have hit a wall here with you, maybe it's because of this that I sulk. But I have just figured it out, no matter who it is, there will be things that cannot be done, and there will be someone who you have nothing to do with him, and my master is no exception. When Li Zi said this, he didn't shy away from looking at Xu Huaigu's eyes at all,

"But now that I've let it go, since the two of us can only be friends, let's do it at that. I didn't figure it out before, and it bothered you. I'm sorry. Xu Huaigu hurriedly smiled: "I'm sorry, in fact, I still feel sorry for you in my heart, but I don't know how to make up for it." Yu Qin has been with me for many years, I like her, she likes me, I can't leave her. Li Zi nodded and said, "This is a natural thing." Then we're still good friends as before, right? ”

"Of course. What you think of Zhang Xiaohe, how you look at me, the three of us will always be good friends. Li Zi smiled: "You are different from him." He's a lot more pertinent, not like you like to take risks. ”

"I often take risks, and there is no way to do it, Lu Zijin and Lin Cangyang are often waiting for me to help." Xu Huaigu smiled,

"The road is not easy to walk, you must not only be wary of others, but also always pay attention to your own behavior, so as not to cause trouble. Sometimes, when you have already backed down, some people will come to your door and step on your face, and say that your face has touched his shoes. I have seen a lot of such things, and I am also very helpless, so I have to take risks at this time. Li Zi also smiled when he said this.

"I guess, Wei Caiyi told you that I was here?"

"Well, she wouldn't have allowed me to say it, but you guessed it, and I don't have a reason not to tell you." After finishing speaking, a person suddenly appeared in front of the two, it was Wei Caiyi.

At this time, she was looking at Xu Huaigu with a smile and said, "If you don't say it, this will betray me?" Xu Huaigu hurriedly defended: "This can't be regarded as what I said, obviously she guessed it first." Wei Caiyi looked at Li Zi again and said with a smile: "The little girl is not very old, but she is as good as your master." Li Zi smiled whimsily: "The seniors have won the prize." ”

"I watched a good show today." Wei Caiyi looked very satisfied,

"I thought the two of you were going to make a feud when they met today, but now that you have figured it out to each other, that's the best. Li Zi, your wish has been fulfilled, do you want to continue to stay here? Li Zi said: "No need, I'll follow my seniors." Wei Caiyi nodded and said, "Then let's go." Li Zi walked to Wei Caiyi's side, glanced back at Xu Huaigu, and smiled in the wind: "Take care, see you in the future." Xu Huaigu also smiled solemnly: "Take care." I'll come to Middle-earth later, and I'll see you then. Li Zi nodded slightly, Wei Caiyi also turned his head to look at Xu Huaigu, smiled, and reached out to pat Li Zi's shoulder, so the two of them rode the wind and left, and soon disappeared into the sky.

Xu Huaigu stared in the direction the two left, and after a long time, he smiled, retracted his gaze, and walked down the mountain, Yu Qin should still be waiting for him in the town at this time.

For both of them, this is the best ending.
