Guanliu Tower.

The sun was already a little high, but the mist by the lake and forest was still shrouded, and it had been a long time since the martial arts was over, and the people on the long street were very clean, and in the morning, there was no one in the building.

The four of them set up a small table on the Linfeng platform, Pei Li, Yang Yan, Zhang Junxue, and Zhang Dingyun.

"Fang Jidao is purely colored and meaningless, and he won't stay for a quarter of an hour as soon as Qi Jushi leaves." Zhang Dingyun said, "They are still three good characters, with good kung fu, a high future, and affection." ”

Hearing that Pei Ye was leaving, the little fat man immediately set up a farewell banquet, but unfortunately Yang Yan and Zhang Junxue were two stuffy gourds, Pei Ye seemed to have sealed his mouth today, he sighed, and the atmosphere was still silent and quiet.

In the end, Yang Yan and him awkwardly exchanged a few words, and after a while, a few people were full, sitting on the platform together, blowing the wind and looking at the willow forest lake downstairs, and the moon catching tower could be seen at the other end of the lake.

"Jun Xue, what are you going to do next?" Pei Ye pressed the porcelain bottle of wine on his lap, looked out of the railing, and took the initiative to speak for the first time after being silent for a long time.

"I continue to fight in Bowang." Zhang Junxue said in a sullen voice, "Dongbi is gone, I should have some chances." After qualifying, I will go to Shenjing next summer to participate in the Shenjing martial arts, and then take the results of the Shenjing martial arts. Go to the White Deer Palace. ”

The woman said everything in her heart in one breath.

Pei Ye nodded and said softly: "You remember to practice after you heal your injuries, don't worry, leave the root of the disease." ”

"It's almost. It's true. ”

"I'll be waiting for you in Shenjing next summer."

"Okay."

"Hmm."

Pei Li."

"Huh?"

"You don't put too much pressure on yourself."

“.”

Zhang Dingyun's voice came from the other side: "I'm still catching up with the singing." ”

Under the Linfeng stage, it was the largest theater in Bowang who came here to sing autumn operas, babbling, Pei Ye couldn't hear it clearly, but the little fat man was obviously a frequent visitor, and hummed along with the tune.

After humming for a while, he stretched out his neck and said, "By the way, Pei Li, Yang Yan said that he won't go to Tianshan anymore, is it really fake?" ”

"Really."

"Brother Yang, you are really ambitious."

"It's okay."

Zhang Dingyun gave him a thumbs up.

"What about you, do you have any arrangements for the future?" Pei Ye looked at the little fat man.

"What do I have in charge?" Zhang Dingyun said with a smile, "You are all gone, I will continue to enjoy my spring flowers and autumn moon alone, and there will be more junjie at next year's martial arts poetry meeting." ”

The autumn wind blew on the placket of the clothes, and several people chatted with each other, saying some words before leaving, Zhang Dingyun really couldn't see any sadness on his face, leaning aside with wine, humming softly.

Pei Ye really hadn't heard much of the play, but either Xiangzhou's experience awakened his hobby, or at this time, his mood was low and it was easy to grab his ears, and he turned his head and asked, "What kind of play is this?" ”

Zhang Dingyun was just about to speak, when a girl's voice came from the door: ""Pear Blossom Mistake" is a local drama of Bowang. ”

Pei Ye looked back, Li Yiqing was standing at the door, her skirt hanging and her hair were a little quiet.

"It's similar to "Dream of Spring Boudoir", it means that there is a girl who is good at making pear blossom wine, and she falls in love with her sweetheart, but when the war is ignited, her sweetheart goes to the army, and the girl brews a pot of pear blossom wine every year and waits for him." Li Yiqing walked in with a sword, pursed his lips and smiled, "But I didn't wait any longer." ”

Listening to it like this, the vague lyrics below are really clearer, "To the spring flowers to the snow pavement."

"That's right! It's what we've heard since we were kids. Zhang Dingyun smiled, "The young master is really busy, and he will come only when he is over." ”

"You guys don't leave, I can't come, I'm just sending Pei liquid." Li Yiqing smiled, and at this time, he pretended to meet the young man's gaze naturally.

Pei Li avoided it and handed her a bottle of untouched wine: "You will support Cui Yu alone in the future, if you offend someone, you must bring Xiu Weigao by your side." ”

"Well, the sword master told me, since she can't go, Shenjing, she wrote a letter of recommendation to Shaolong, citing me as Shaolong's sword student, but I don't go to Fucheng to practice swordsmanship by correspondence."

"That's a lot less useful."

"I didn't have a lot of time." The girl smiled, "In this way, you can learn a lot of powerful swordsmanship, and the sword master said that I am 'jade', which is only a little worse than you." ”

"Hmm."

The atmosphere quieted down, Pei Ye turned his head to look out of the railing, not letting the cyan skirt corner into view, and looked up at Tianguang: "It's almost time." ”

Several people got up one after another.

Guanliulou stood in the southeast of Bowang City, walked through the long street, and when they reached the south gate, several people had already lagged behind, only the girl was quiet and silent, and followed very closely.

Pei Li is determined.

Turning his head, he changed his hand with his sword upside down: "Master Wu told me about the five taels of Xinpo, if there is any news, you can send me a letter." ”

"Well, Yu Tingshi went to Xiangzhou to buy this thing back then, it must be useful, I checked the book volume from twenty years ago in the past two days, and I should be able to find something along this line."

"Well, I'll ask Miss Ming to see if there are many small jade swords."

"The Ming Sword Master has already given me one."

"Oh" Pei Ye was quiet for a moment, "Then, take care." ”

“.” Li Yiqing lowered her head, "You also take care." ”

Pei Ye nodded, turned around and walked out of the city gate.

In the distance outside the south gate, a woman in white stood under the tall willows, a jade black kitten lying on her shoulder, and beside her were two tall handsome horses, and their luggage was already packed on horseback.

Pei Ye walked towards her, nodded his head and took the reins, and then turned around, several friends had formed several figures standing side by side, and the cyan dress was very eye-catching among them.

Pei Ye was quiet for a moment, raised his arm again and waved at them.

————

Pei Ye turned over and got on his horse in a daze, and the scenery quickly retreated in both directions of vision.

After galloping for a long time, he suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head, the rhythm of the horse's hooves around him was like rain, the woman was on the horse, the horizontal sword was in front of him, holding the reins, and the light white clothes were like clouds falling in the world.

"I'm sorry Miss Ming, but I'm slowing you down."

"No, a day or two, nothing rushed."

"Wuhejian wants us to go later." Pei Ye explained, "He first sent a letter to the top management of Kongtong, asking them to loosen the outside and tighten the inside. It delayed your trip to ask the sword for two days. ”

"It's okay, I actually like to walk slowly like this."

"Huh?"

"I rarely ride a horse and don't walk much underneath." They walked into a dense forest, and the woman looked at the cold branches and leaves beside her that were washed verdant by the rain, and some of them wiped them off their clothes, leaving only the moist fragrance of leaves, "The time to ask for swords in the world is indeed too rushed, flying from one place to another, all you see is the sky and clouds, in fact, it is also very boring." ”

Pei Ye didn't expect the word "boring" to come out of the woman's mouth, but he really hadn't gotten along with the woman in the first place, so he only nodded in a daze for a while.

The two continued to gallop quietly.

Gradually it was past noon, and the warm autumn day was sprinkled down, and Ming Qitian suddenly spoke: "Have you finished reading your "Introduction"? ”

"I've finished reading Miss Ming."

"Well, if you have an understanding of the complete description of the world's swordsmanship, you can have support by constructing your own sword ladder."

"What is a 'sword ladder'?"

"Yunlang Mountain's statement. Name implies. ”

"Oh."

The woman's voice was as light as water: "I remember the first time I taught you to learn swords, I asked you what swords you had learned - what about asking you the same question now?" ”

"Open Door Sword", "Fuliu Sword"; Half of "Jade Fei Sword, Feng Yao Chapter", "Jade Fei Sword, Yellow Jade"; "Avalanche" two floors; "Flying Geese on a Snowy Night" two styles. Nothing else, Miss Ming. ”

"Well, show me one by one in a moment."

"Hmm."

"What sword are you going to learn next?"

"Jade Sword". The head said that the intersection of the two veins of Jade Fei at the top is a sword called "Flying Feather Immortal", and I probably felt some of the ways at the beginning. Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, "The road behind can barely be seen clearly, if you work learning swords next, you should take it first." ”

"Hmm." The woman nodded slightly, "We'll comb it first when we rest." ”

"Also, just now Li Yiqing handed me a sword scripture." Pei Ye took out the book with a deep glow that had not had time to put it away, and the woman turned her head to look at it and saw five ancient characters left on it—the immortal in the secluded land.

"This is the broken sword of the door, ethereal. said that no one in the mountain gate could learn for the time being, and I was worried that I would lose my meaning after copying, so I took it to learn first. Pei Ye looked down twice, "I'll try to learn this as early as possible. But it's missing. ”

Ming Qitian tilted his head and looked at it twice: "Can you show me later?" ”

"Ah, of course. Then, "Flying Geese on a Snowy Night". I can't see the third form for the time being, so I don't think it works. ”

"Tell me about it."

"Very clean." Pei Ye was silent for a long time before he looked at the sky and whispered, "Clear, quiet, vast. It is like wading through a thin layer of ice with a lonely dream, and below is the cold and clear still water, I am also carved from fine ice jade, with skin, hair, bones and blood, without any cover and shadow, everything is transparent in this world. ”

"It's a beautiful sword intent."

"Yes." Pei Ye smiled slightly for the first time, "But I can't see the way in." ”

The woman tilted her head and glanced at him lightly.

Yes, the teenager is now almost the opposite of it, heavy, gloomy, rioting, suffocating. In fact, she went to look for Li Yiqing in the morning, because she wanted to mention it to the girl, if she could not mention the separation with him for the time being, after all, Zhao Tu was eyeing him. But when the discovery was over, it was not exported.

What's more, this is also a palliative but not a cure, and now it is better for the two to have a state of mind than to tie each other up.

"And. "Avalanche". Pei Ye continued to whisper, "This sword is very, very strong, but it doesn't look like an orthodox sword, I will learn it when I have time. That's it. ”

"And what is your favorite subject?"

"Favorite?"

"Yes. I remember the first time we met, weren't you obsessed with the style you had just learned? I got up from the recliner in the middle of the night and practiced with love. ”

Pei Ye remembered the first meeting, lowered his head and smiled reluctantly: "Miss Ming smiled." ”

"I didn't see a smile." The woman looked at him softly, "But now, how did you become 'able to learn', 'eager to learn', and 'useful to learn'?" ”

“.”

"Whichever one you like, we'll use it to build your sword ladder." The woman's voice turned back calmly, "Of course, if you must go for the 'most useful', then it doesn't hurt. ”

"I like it" Pei Li was stunned for a moment, it was indeed a somewhat unfamiliar question at some point, "I'll think about it again, Miss Ming." ”

Ming Qitian nodded: "Don't worry, your own talent is very good, and it has been fully revealed in the past month, I will guide you to the way of the sword, but it is just 'teaching' and 'guiding the way'." For the rest, whatever sword you learn at this time, I will help you watch it all so that you can learn faster. ”

"Hmm." Pei Ye was a little distracted and responded.

Quiet gallop until the sky began to darken and the sun was a little westerly.

They went out of the forest path, passed through many ups and downs and meanders, and when they turned back, they could no longer see the shadow of Bowang City. It was in this kind of flatness after coming out of the forest that a misty and deep green mountain shadow appeared in the distance.

Standing beneath the sky, hidden behind the darkness, stood motionless with the galloping horses of the travelers.

It is very tall and deep, but there are few rocky peaks, and the emerald color is very strong, so there is no sense of sublime, but deep and faint, covered with a layer of mist, adding to the fairy feeling.

Pei Ye was stunned for a while before he realized what it was.

Legend has it that the fog of Yilan Mountain is shrouded like a ribbon all year round, and legend has it that there used to be a hermit like a feather man, and the kingfisher inside is said to be light and free, and the feathers are as beautiful as heaven. Pei Ye looked at it quietly, and suddenly remembered inexplicably that he had never actually entered this foggy mountain.

A little further on, before dark, you should be able to get close to Xiangzhou.

————

In Bowang City, on the upper floor of Guanliu, the remaining four people also ended their drinking and talking.

With the departure of the young man, Zhang Junxue is about to return to Xu Gu, Li Yiqing is also going back to Yilanshan to settle the old man, and Yang Yan has got the reward of Wubi and is also ready to buy a line.

The four of them raised their glasses again, Zhang Dingyun closed the fan and left first, Zhang Junxue also went downstairs to leave, and Li Yiqing was still leaning on the stage with a wine bottle, without the intention of moving.

Yang Yan stood up with some hesitation and looked at the girl.

Li Yiqing turned his head: "What's wrong?" ”

"Thank you for saving me in the building that day, I haven't had a chance to repay it, I'll keep it in my heart in the future." Yang Yan raised his glass again.

"It's so polite." Li Yiqing smiled, raised the bottle and took a sip, "They are all friends." ”

“.” Yang Yan hesitated a little, "Then, let me ask something." ”

"What?"

"That. It's just" Yang Yan was a little curious and a little embarrassed, "I saw you and Pei Li at the door yesterday morning, and I already found out that you like him. Now you two"

"Aren't you together?"

“.”

"Huh?"

Li Yiqing suddenly laughed, and she couldn't help but be happy: "Well, you found out very early, Pei Li told me"

"Isn't that right?!"

"Nope." The corners of the girl's mouth twitched, and she laughed in a low voice.

She held the white porcelain wine bottle and tilted her head to look at the darkening lake, and the evening breeze brushed her soft hair on her cheeks.

The troupe below has been babbling for a day, and now another round of lyrics has finally come to an end.

"Gathering is fate, and dispersion is love."
