Heavy snow in the south.

However, Huaidu, located in the north of Huai'an, is just a sparse snowfall.

Mei Xiyu passed through the Taoist temples that were quietly scattered among the mountains and snow, and walked towards the back of the mountain, which was only a few hundred zhang.

Most of the Taoist temples have a turquoise tone, like some low but huge bamboo roots left behind by people who have been cut down, quietly taking root in the snowy mountains.

Mei Xiyu walked all the way to the back mountain, but found that there was a clear line of footprints on this forest path, which was heading towards the depths of the mountain forest.

This good guy went to the south and came back with a big black cauldron, but he frowned when he looked at the footprints.

Standing there quietly for a while, I was about to continue walking, but in this snowy forest, a Taoist man in his fifties slowly walked out.

Mei Xiyu saluted and said, "Master." ”

This eyebrow is quite similar to Qin Chulai, a Taoist named Qin Zailai, although there is a rather contradictory reversal between the names, but it is often considered by the new disciples in the view to be Qin Chulai's brother.

It's just that whether Qin came again or Qin Chulai, he denied this speculation very plainly.

It's just that this denial also makes the two often have some more indescribable mysteries.

Especially Qin Zailai, who is even more silent and sits in the mountains and forests all year round and can't come out.

What the truth is, no one has come out to explain.

Maybe it's true that as Qin Chulai said, the two just happen to have similar appearances and similar names.

The Taoist, who was called the real person again by the town under the mountain, looked at his disciple calmly, and said slowly, "You went to the south?" ”

Mei Xiyu nodded and said, "It's something about Senior Brother March." ”

"What's the matter?"

Mei Xiyu said softly: "Someone in Lingnan sent a letter to the disciple's place of cultivation, and the disciple could only go to Lingnan once, and he tore some skin with the Human Sword Sect, but it did not affect the world. ”

Qin Zailai nodded, didn't ask anything, turned his head to look at the line of footprints that Mei Xiyu was looking at, and said slowly: "What are you looking for the viewer to do?" ”

As soon as Mei Xiyu thought of this, she felt a little bored, bowed, and said: "The Lingnan Lame Deer Sword Sect was slaughtered, Chen Huaifeng put this big hat on the head of the Qingtian Dao in order to prevent this matter from affecting the human sword sect and the two clans, and now the entire south is probably talking about the Qingtian Dao. ”

Qin Zailai was a little surprised at first, but after hearing it, he also calmed down and said: "It is indeed the style of the Sword Sect in the world, but the world will not believe such a ridiculous thing, if you want to come to him Chen Huaifeng, he is probably also on the way to Qingtian Dao." ”

"Yes, how does Master think Qingtian Dao should handle this matter?"

Qin Zailai said calmly: "Look at what the Lord thinks. ”

Mei Xiyu probably guessed that this was the answer, so after returning to the north, he didn't go to find his master, but went straight to the back mountain to find Bai Yuyu. Hearing this answer at this time, Mei Xiyu looked at the footprints again and said, "There are guests in the mountain ballad house?" ”

"Li Chenghe, the secretary of the Huaidu Military Department."

Mei Xiyu looked at it quietly for a while, and said, "It seems that I came here for the 300,000 Qingjia at the beginning." ”

300,000 Qingjia was taken away from Nanyi City by Beitai, and then detoured to the East China Sea, probably thinking that the surprise attack on Huai was a clever plan in the world, but it was a pity that he underestimated the strength of the first capital city in the world, and was beaten to the head and bloody, and went north in a hurry.

Not to mention that the 300,000 green armor came from the hands of Qingtian Dao, that is, when the soldiers came to the city, someone saw the plain Taoist skirt woman named Bai He with their own eyes, and they stood quietly beside the young master of Nanyi City.

Huaidu naturally can't not come to Qingtian Dao.

"Yes."

"I didn't expect them to come so late."

Mei Xiyu said softly.

Qin Zailai said calmly: "It's almost the end of the New Year, and it is natural to clear up the old things." Qingtian Dao naturally has nothing to do with this matter, but Huaidu is the place where everyone expects it after all, and if something like this happens, there must be a trip to Qingtian Dao. ”

"It's just Li Chenghe who came?"

Mei Xiyu looked at the footprints on the ground and said, "He should be in his seventies this year, but he is not afraid of any mistakes on the road." ”

Qin Zailai walked towards the forest and said calmly: "Even if he comes half a person, Qingtian Dao has to find a way to make him a person." The whole world is within the range of the Great Yi Bow, unless Qingtian Dao is as crazy as the Human Sword Sect, will there be any mistakes in such a person. ”

Mei Xiyu listened to the word Dayi's bow in Qin Zailai's mouth, was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Yes, Master go slowly." ”

Qin Zailai didn't say anything more, and his figure disappeared into the forest and snow.

Mei Xiyu watched her master leave, and then quietly looked at the footprints.

After waiting for a long time, there was some sound of snow treading in the mountains and forests in the distance.

Mei Xiyu was silent for a moment and walked towards the bottom of the mountain steps.

Then I saw the old man walking quietly in the snow.

Mei Xiyu stepped forward, followed the side of Shangshu from the military department from Huaidu, saluted, and said softly: "Lord Shangshu has worked hard. ”

Li Chenghe turned his head and glanced at this young Taoist of the Qingtian Dao, thought for a while, and said, "Mei Xiyu, the disciple of Qin again? ”

Mei Xiyu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Li Chenghe turned his head, looked at the snow steps under his feet seriously, and walked slowly.

"How many stacks?"

Mei Xiyu said slowly: "Four stacks." ”

"Not bad."

After saying that sentence, Li Chenghe didn't say anything more, but walked towards the top of the mountain steps under the guidance of Mei Xiyu.

When he reached the top of the mountain road, Li Chenghe stopped, and not far away, there were disciples of the Qingtian Dao of the Small Dao Realm waiting there.

Li Chenghe glanced back at Mei Xiyu, and then said calmly: "Qingtian Dao needs to give some explanations to the world. ”

Mei Xiyu was silent for a while and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Li Chenghe continued to walk forward and said, "Are you interested in coming to Huaidu?" ”

Mei Xiyu frowned and said, "What are you going to do in Huaidu?" ”

Li Chenghe stopped there and said calmly: "You'll know when you come." ”

Mei Xiyu frowned and stood there, Li Chenghe just quietly walked through those Taoist temples accompanied by that Qingtian Dao disciple and disappeared into Mei Xiyu's field of vision.

This young Taoist of the Qingtian Dao stood there frowning and looked at it for a long time before he walked back towards the location of the mountain rumor residence behind the mountain.

Lin Xue was slumped all the way, but there was some calmness, but Mei Xiyu's heart was obviously a little calm.

After passing through the stairs and through a bamboo forest, a large mountain lake appeared in front of me, and there was a rather narrow, three-foot wooden bridge extending to the lake, until at the end, a bamboo house in the snow stood quietly.

Mei Xiyu stood at the head of the bridge with a line of footprints for a long time, until her mind calmed down for a long time, and then she stepped on the small bridge, slowly walked towards the bamboo house covered with snow, and then stopped on the bridge head and saluted.

"I've seen the Lord."

A gentle and soft voice came from the bamboo house.

"Where is Chen Huaifeng now?"

Mei Xiyu sat upright in the snow at the head of the bridge, not surprised why the woman in the bamboo house knew these things, but said softly: "It should have been to the north." ”

The woman in the bamboo hut did not speak for a long time.

Mei Xiyu didn't speak, just sat there quietly.

It took a long time for the voice of Bai Yuyu to fall back into this fine snow lake.

"Meixi rain."

"The disciple is here."

The voice was still gentle, but there was a hint of melancholy.

"After Chen Huaifeng entered the view, the matter of Lingnan was wronged by you."

Mei Xiyu was silent for a while, and naturally understood what this meant, and said softly: "Okay, the Lord, just the Lord, this kind of thing should be done, and you need to give an explanation to the world." ”

"Yes. So there's one more thing you need to do. ”

Mei Xiyu suddenly thought of what the military department from Huaidu had said, and looked up at the snow in the north that fell into the big lake and disappeared.

"I need to go to Huaidu."

Mei Xiyu understood something.

"Yes. 300,000 Qingjia, and Lingnan affairs, Qingtian Dao needs to respond, after you go to Huaidu, you will stay in the heavenly prison for a few months, Huaidu will prepare a place for you to cultivate, three years later, Huaidu will let you leave, Qingtian Dao introductory disciples, you will be the teacher of the teaching. ”

Mei Xiyu sat there in a daze.

These places of Qingtian Dao are naturally different from the Human Sword Sect, the disciples of Qingtian Dao seven hundred years ago are now the existence of the ancestors, but the Human Sword Sect is just a senior brother.

Passed from generation to generation, there are naturally different ways of inheritance.

The teacher of the profession means that Mei Xiyu will become a candidate for the next generation of Qingtian Daoist Masters.

Become one of the three swords and three views of the world in the new generation.

Mei Xiyu was stunned for a long time, and then leaned down in the snow and said softly: "Xiyu is difficult to take on this big task. ”

The gentle voice in the bamboo house just whispered: "Blessings and misfortunes lurk, and misfortunes and blessings rely on." Since you have this evil, you should have this blessing. If you don't deserve a big responsibility, this matter will not be in the present in the future. ”

Mei Xiyu was silent for a long time, and when she raised her head, the white snow printed in the snow was slowly falling.

"Disciple according to his words."

"Go ahead."

The bamboo house snow lake is quiet.

Mei Xiyu stood up and stepped on the wooden bridge with a layer of snow and walked back.

The sound of the piano gradually began on the shore of the snowy lake, and it fell into the lake with the fine snow.

The mountains are quiet.

Mei Xiyu returned to the mountain road, stood there quietly watching the snow for a long time, and then headed towards the forest.

After passing through some orange-red Nantian bamboo paths, a small snow-covered courtyard appeared in front of me.

Mei Xiyu pushed open the door and walked in, and Qin Zailai sat quietly under the eaves of the courtyard.

"What does the Lord say?"

Qin looked at Mei Xiyu who walked in again and said slowly.

Mei Xiyu walked aside, picked up the broom on the ground, swept some snow under the eaves, and said softly: "I will go down to the Lingnan Lame Deer Sword Sect and the 300,000 Qingjia at the beginning." ”

Qin Zailai quietly looked at this young Taoist for a long time, and then said calmly: "The matter of 300,000 Qingjia was proposed by me to the Lord. ”

Mei Xiyu said softly: "I actually guessed some, take those things into my arms, and Guanli always has to make up for something." ”

Qin looked at Mei Xiyu again and said slowly, "You seem to be a little reluctant. ”

Mei Xiyu said softly: "Yes." ”

Saying that, the young Taoist stopped again, looked at the Taoist who had always been cold under the eaves, and said, "Actually, when I left Guanli and went to build a hut by the stream outside the town of Shanxia, Master should be able to see that I have no intention of being the Lord of Guanli. ”

Qin Zailai quietly looked at Meixi Yu, and then said slowly: "As a viewer, you can still stay at the bottom of the mountain, Baimei Xiyu, and sit and smell the wind and snow." ”

Mei Xiyu smiled softly and said, "After all, you have to think more." ”

"But you still obeyed the words of the Lord."

"Yes. Although it is said that the husband is indisputable, there is no especially. Mei Xiyu said softly, "Although Qingtian Dao is quiet, it still has many remnants of the story of the last hundred years. Rather than this, it is better to walk in neatly, there are indisputable in the world, and there are also indisputable indisputable. ”

Mei Xiyu swept the snow for a long time, then put down the broom in her hand, saluted her master, and then turned around and walked out.

"I'm going down the mountain, and I'll be back in about three years."

Qin Zailai just nodded calmly.

Mei Xiyu walked out of the door, closed the courtyard door softly, and then left the mountain forest.

In front of the mountain and behind the mountain, there are many green bamboo-like buildings, but they are very quiet.

The people of the Dao Sect don't need to practice swords like the Sword Sect, so naturally there will be a lot less noise in the mountains and forests.

The senior brothers and disciples in Guanli are all cultivating in Qing.

It is also about the movement of the opposite Tao and the use of the weak Tao.

After the story that shook the world for a hundred years came to an end, Qingtiandao was quiet and silent.

Will it decline in the future, or will it repeat some painful history after a long hibernation.

The world doesn't know.

The people in the Qingtian Dao don't know either.

Meixiyu quietly passed through the Taoist temples in the snow, and then headed down the mountain.

It wasn't until the mountain was about to go down the mountain that a small town lying quietly in the wind and snow appeared in front of him, and Meixiyu stopped and looked back at the faint cyan eaves that had been covered in the mountain snow.

Then he bowed to the mountain views and walked down the mountain.

After quietly passing through the town, out of the town, and through a forest, a small wooden house standing by the stream came into view.

Meixi Rain stopped in the upper reaches of the stream.

Under the eaves of the wooden house by the stream, a woman holding a small white umbrella and wearing a small flower skirt was sitting on the small flower stand in front of the house, looking boredly at the clear stream passing through the forest in front of her.

Meixi rain, Baimei Xiyu.

There may be rain on the riverside, but there are no white plums.

There are no white plums by the stream, but Meixiyu has its own white plums.

Meixiyu's white plum is not called Baimei, it is called Xu Chunhua, a name with the style of a small town in the world.

If it were a cultivator who went out to register for his own number, such a name would probably be very strange.

But she was not a cultivator, just the daughter of a shopkeeper in a small town.

Mei Xiyu stood at the stream with a slight smile and looked at the woman by the snow in the stream.

Sometimes he would think, yes, fortunately, cultivators, like the rest of the world, would not live for more than a hundred years.

Otherwise, if you fall in love with a human woman, wait until a hundred years later, what will you do?

Fortunately, Mei Xiyu does not have to face such a dilemma.

Meixiyu walked over against the fine snow in the forest.

The sound of stepping on the snow startled the woman on the side of the wooden house, and the woman named Chunhua turned her head in the stream and snow, and then trotted over with an umbrella and stepped on the snow in surprise, stopped in front of Mei Xiyu, and said happily: "You are back!" ”

Mei Xiyu smiled softly and said, "Yes." ”

Xu Chunhua stretched out her little hand and touched Mei Xiyu's four bodies up and down, checking whether there were any injuries.

When Mei Xiyu received the letter from Lingnan, she naturally didn't tell Xu Chunhua what was going on.

It's just that this woman who grew up in a small town under Qingtian Dao naturally knows what kind of person Mei Xiyu is, such a Taoist who stays by the stream outside the town all the year round, suddenly left the town and went to the south where it is said to have a lot of sword cultivation, so naturally she can't help but worry.

Mei Xiyu took Xu Chunhua's little white umbrella, then took her hand, walked towards the creekside hut, and said softly, "You are secretly drinking again." ”

Xu Chunhua took a step behind Mei Xiyu, sniffed the smell of her body, did not smell the wine, looked at Mei Xiyu cautiously, and said tentatively: "What if I say no?" ”

Mei Xiyu smiled and said, "That seems to be drunk." ”

Xu Chunhua stuck out her tongue, arched her head over Mei Xiyu's shoulder, and said with a grin: "I drank a little bit, although the snow has not been big recently, but it has been intermittent and has not stopped, and you have never come back, so I secretly drank a little." ”

Mei Xiyu stopped, looked at the small wine jar that those people turned over on their backs in the snow of the flower rack, turned around and raised her eyebrows at Xu Chunhua and said, "Do you call this a little bit?" ”

Xu Chunhua looked at the wine jars next to the flower stand and widened her eyes.

It's over, forgot to deal with these jars.

Then he broke free of Mei Xiyu's hand, ran over on the snow, grabbed those small wine jars, threw them into the stream on the side, and then leaned on the flower stand obediently and pitifully, looked at Mei Xiyu and said, "It's really only a little bit." ”

Mei Xiyu walked over with a soft smile, took Xu Chunhua's soft little hand again, and said, "Okay, good." ”

Xu Chunhua rubbed Mei Xiyu's shoulder and grinned.

Mei Xiyu pinched Xu Chunhua's soft but somewhat cold little hands, probably sitting there for a long time, and pulled her towards the wooden house.

"Why don't you go inside?"

Xu Chunhua thought about it, laughed softly, and said: "I want to bake the fire when I enter it, it is easy to get sleepy when I bake the fire, and I want to sleep when I get sleepy, and when I fall asleep, if you come back, I don't know." ”

Mei Xiyu looked at Xu Chunhua quietly.

Although the small town girl had been smiling all the time, there was a noticeable trilling voice when she said this.

Just like when the two first met, she looked back and sniffed the little white flower that trembled in the wind.

Actually, it's not that I'm afraid that I won't know if I'm back.

I'm just afraid I won't come back.
