Mountains and mountains, floating clouds and mist.

A brilliant golden light pierced through the sea of clouds, flew away from afar, and fell into the mountains.

Between the undulating mountains, there is a large green mountain that stands out and towers into the clouds.

The golden light passed through thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, fell into the top of the big green mountain, and disappeared into a small hill above the green mountain.

On the empty square on the top of the mountain, a group of young men in white robes sat quietly on the futon, their eyes focused on the front, listening to the middle-aged man in the black robe narrate the scriptures.

"Great freedom does not lie in heaven and earth, not in all things, but in oneself, practicing the Tao, the so-called self-cultivation ......"

Halfway through his speech, the black-robed middle-aged man suddenly paused and suddenly turned his head to look into the distance.

The brilliant golden light came from the sky, crossed the sky, and fell into the ancestral shrine.

"Evangelism?"

The black-robed middle-aged man frowned, and muttered: "Recently, I haven't heard any news that your junior disciples have accepted relatives and disciples, who dares to accept disciples without reporting?" ”

When the group of white-robed disciples saw that scene, they were envious, and some people boldly whispered about who had become the new darling of Qingxin Peak.

"That's the end of today's lecture, let's go back and review the scriptures."

The middle-aged man in the black robe waved his sleeves casually, tapped his feet, stepped into the air, and walked towards the ancestral shrine with his hands in his hands.

The cyan streamer passed, and in a moment, the black-robed middle-aged man had already fallen in front of the ancestral hall, walked in slowly, and saluted.

When he raised his head, his eyes were quite surprised, "Master, why did you leave the customs early?" ”

It turned out that there was already an old Taoist priest standing in the ancestral shrine, dressed in a cyan Taoist robe and with a childish face.

The old man in the green robe was silent, and he didn't look back, but just looked at the corner of the ancestral ancestral hall offering table with that light as watery gaze.

In the corner was a small low table, on which lay a jade plaque, shrouded in shadows, and it was impossible to see what was written on it.

"That preaching aura just now, could it be a ......"

The black-robed middle-aged body shook suddenly, as if thinking of something, and quickly stepped forward and picked up the jade plate.

The texture of the jade plate is very good, rare in the world, and it is engraved with three words of tragedy.

There is a blank space in front of these words, which should not be done on purpose, but there is something else before, but it has been erased.

At this time, the three words of the dim Xiang Tragic Song suddenly flashed with dazzling golden light, shining brightly.

After the bright golden light, next to Xiang Beige's name, a few faint small words appeared, "Closed disciple, Ma Changsi".

"What a little junior brother! It's the little junior brother who has accepted the apprentice! ”

The middle-aged man in the black robe was quite excited, and his calm tone suddenly rose.

The old man in the green robe was silent for a long time, and let out a long sigh.

The sigh seems to contain the passing years and the magnificent waves of the past.

"Xiaoge, this child, has never accepted his fate."

The old man in the green robe said slowly, and there were also ripples in his indifferent eyes.

After the black-robed middle-aged man was excited, his brows immediately tightened, "Master, but after all, the little junior brother is carrying that crime, will the sect admit it?" ”

The old man in the green robe snorted lightly and said lightly: "I am acting in Qingxin Peak, why do I need to admit it from the sect?" Even if you are in charge, you don't dare to say half a word! ”

"Master's words are extremely true."

The black-robed middle-aged man finally smiled, wiped the jade plate, and put it back in place.

Then, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old man in the green robe, "Master, the little junior brother is not here, and the apprentice has the courage to accept the apprenticeship for the little junior brother." ”

"Do you dare to do this ceremony? If you weren't too spoiled, Xiaoge would have fallen into such a situation! After all these years, you still don't repent! ”

The old Taoist in the green robe suddenly spoke harshly, and said coldly: "The deity wants to go down the mountain, punish you for being in charge of Qingxin Peak, preach and teach the scriptures every day, the deity does not come back, you are not allowed to be lazy for a day!" ”

"Yes, I hope that Qi Qi will know his mistake and obey the master's punishment order."

Far from panicking, the middle-aged man in the black robe smiled even more.

Since the retreat of the master, he has been in charge of the Qingxin Peak for 18 years, passing on the scriptures every day, and he has never been lazy.

This is not a punishment, it's just that his old man's usual knife mouth and tofu heart, and he is extremely face-saving when he speaks.

"Xiaoge, this criminal, the apprentice doesn't know the deity, and the deity wants to punish him!"

The old man in the green robe said lightly, I don't know if he was talking about it to the eldest apprentice Yun Wangqi, or if he was saying it to relieve his anger.

Yun Wangqi hurriedly got up, frowned, and said, "Master, my Qingxin Peak is still carrying the punishment on my back!" The little junior brother is guilty, don't go back to the mountain gate, don't break the rules, if things make a big fuss......"

"You've taught your disciples all these years to teach your brains badly! What does the deity want you to teach? ”

The old man in the green robe snorted coldly again, "They didn't let Xiao Ge go back to the mountain gate, but they didn't say that the deity was not allowed to see the apprentice!" ”

After that, the old man in the green robe took a step forward, and there were suddenly ripples beside him, and his figure seemed to dissolve into the heavens and the earth, and suddenly disappeared.

In the ancestral hall, only the old Dao's scolding is still echoing.

"Mountains and rivers are free?"

Yun Wangqi was stunned, and then laughed: "I see! I see! The master has trained his great freedom to the extreme, and he is among the strongest in the realm!

Hahaha, good! The master already has such strength, and when the master comes back, I will have to ask the master for the sins I have suffered in the past twenty years! ”

……

……

Zhen Genji, backyard.

Chen Ning stood in front of the door, his eyes were complicated, looking up at the sky.

Thousands of miles in the sky, the ups and downs of the clouds and waves, should have nothing to do with him, but he looked at it very seriously, and seemed to be able to see some truth in it.

Go to the poor place of the water, and sit and watch the clouds rise.

Sometimes it's not a kind of mediocre happiness, but Chen Ning can't do it, at least he can't do it at the moment.

After a long time, Chen Ning came back to his senses, he did not continue to stand under the eaves in a daze, but walked to the side of the large wine vats, picked up the linen cloth that Master Xiang usually cleaned up the wine vats, and began to carefully wipe those wine vats.

He rubbed hard, as if he wanted to release all the suppressed emotions in his heart.

In just a moment, the first dusty wine vat had already taken on a new look, and it was polished by Chen Ning.

Chen Ning got up slightly, looked up at the room, and his eyes finally settled a little.

This is the only thing he can think of at the moment, what he can do for Master Xiang.

Ma Changsi has been in for a long time, and he doesn't know what Master Xiang is talking to him, but there is no sign of coming out.

Chen Ning didn't speculate, lowered his head and continued to wipe the second sip of the wine vat.

As he was wiping the vat, there was the sound of footsteps at the entrance of the courtyard, accompanied by a slightly cold inquiry.

"Xiang Beige is here?"

There are really few people who dare to call Lord Xiang by his name, there are really few in this Qingxi County, Chen Ning raised his head when he heard the voice, and swept over coldly.

"This lord, Lord Xiang is resting here."

I saw that Uncle Liu slowly walked into the courtyard with a delicate figure.

The person who came was dressed in a splendid cyan suit, with long black hair tied into a ponytail, swaying at will, although his face was not said to be alluring to the country and the city, it was also the degree of glamorous beauty.

Anyway, in Qingxi County for more than ten years, except for his mother, Chen Ning has never seen a more beautiful woman.

However, the woman was a little strange, and behind her slightly delicate body was a very exaggerated large knife.

The knife was more than five feet long, and it was jet black throughout, with occasional wisps of dull red appearing in the morning light.

This big knife looks very heavy, even if Chen Ning lifts it, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, if it is used in a fight, it must be extremely difficult and not very easy.

Chen Ning was a little suspicious, this kind of exaggerated broadsword was really used to fight?

When Chen Ning looked at the woman in green clothes, the woman also raised her cold eyes and glanced at Chen Ning.

"The Zhenxuan Division in your city is still down, and there is only one Zhenxuan general, and there is a shortage of manpower to the point where the yamen needs to be dispatched to help clean up the courtyard."

The woman in Tsing Yi waved her hand to Chen Ning casually, "That little catcher who wipes the water tank, you don't have to clean it up first, and quit it, and then clean it up later." ”

Chen Ning retracted his gaze, as if he hadn't heard her words, lowered his head and continued to wipe the wine vat.

"Huh? He's deaf? ”

The woman in Tsing Yi was stunned, her eyes softened slightly, and she said to Uncle Liu: "Uncle, you go and tell him, don't let him clean up, I have something important to find a sad song, and when I leave, let him clean up." ”

Uncle Liu was quite embarrassed and explained in a low voice: "The lord from Kyoto, this is Lord Xiang's righteous son, not the subordinate who called to clean up the courtyard. He's not deaf either......"

"Not deaf?"

The girl in Tsing Yi frowned slightly, but she didn't compare herself with Chen Ning anymore, and asked, "Xiang Beige is in the house?" Then I'll go in and talk to him. ”

"You can't go in!"

Chen Ning finally raised his head and said lightly: "Lord Xiang is talking about extremely important things, if you want to see Lord Xiang, just wait here." ”

The girl in Tsing Yi frowned and looked at Uncle Liu with inquiring eyes.

Uncle Liu was quite stressed, and smiled awkwardly: "Since Xiao Ning said so, Master Xiang should have something." ”

"Then I'll just wait."

The girl in Tsing Yi stood with her arms around her arms and said to Uncle Liu: "Thank you for leading the way, you can go and get busy first." ”

"Yes, sir."

Uncle Liu replied casually and looked at Chen Ning.

"Uncle Liu, go get busy, I'm watching here."

Chen Ning raised his head slightly, smiled at Uncle Liu, lowered his head and continued to wipe the wine vat.

Uncle Liu hurriedly nodded and turned to leave.

In this way, the courtyard returned to calm again, Chen Ning silently wiped the wine jar, and the girl in Tsing Yi stood with her arms around her arms, her eyes wandering around.

She waited for a long time, but she didn't see any movement in the room, and her eyes finally fell on Chen Ning's body.

"Xiao Catch, are you the righteous son of Xiang Tragic Song? What is your name? ”

The woman in Tsing Yi is an idle person, extremely bored, and has nothing to say.

"Adults from Kyoto should be extremely educated, and they should know how to report their family before asking someone's name."

Chen Ning still didn't look up, and carefully wiped the wine vat.

"The official position is not big, and the temper is not small."

The woman in Tsing Yi snorted lightly, but still said: "General of the Xuansi of Daqin Kyoto Town, General of Qipin Town, Zhao Mingyue!" ”

She raised her chin slightly, with a little arrogance, "The bright moon shines in the sky!" ”

Chen Ning finally raised his head and said lightly: "Then your surname, is it a photo of the bright moon?" ”

Zhao Mingyue was stunned, no one had asked her like this before.

She was stunned for a moment before she said: "Naturally not, how can I have this surname in Daqin, I am Zhao." ”

Chen Ning shook his head, "Then don't rhyme, you should say that you are the bright moon of the rising moon, so it is more rhyming to introduce it like this." ”

"Really?"

Zhao Mingyue was stunned again, and then suddenly realized, a little embarrassed, "You don't care how I introduce it, I like Mingyue as a sky photo!" Xiao Yu, hurry up, you don't play poor, you haven't said what your name is. ”

Chen Ning said lightly: "Chen Ning, Erdong Chen, quiet Ning." ”

"Chen Ning?"

Zhao Mingyue wrinkled Xiao Qiong's nose, "I thought you had some loud introduction, but it turned out to be just like that." ”

For the girl's ridicule, which was not a mockery, Chen Ning just chuckled and shook his head.

Twenty-eight Fanghua, competitive, likes to compete for the benefit of the tongue, he doesn't care too much.

But this kind of character, he misses it a little.

When was he, he was also the kind of "unforgiving young man" who talked about it.

But now, there's no going back.
