Li Qing didn't take the three daughters with him, and rode out of Jinling City one by one.

Since the fifteenth year of Hongwu, it was the first time that he left Jinling for personal matters.

The horses raised their hooves and galloped forward all the way, and the breeze blew on their bodies, which gave them a different kind of comfort.

He didn't eat or drink all the way, changed horses every day, traveled day and night, and returned to his heart like an arrow.

has lived in Jinling for so many years, but Li Qing's home in his heart is still the dilapidated Taoist temple that he has lived in for ten years.

……

More than half a month later, Li Qing came to the foot of the mountain, looking at the green mountains in front of him, and the feeling of homesickness became stronger and stronger.

Li Qing whispered to himself: "It's been ten years, is the old man still here?" Is he okay? ”

For some reason, he was so panicked that he didn't dare to climb the mountain.

After wandering for a while, Li Qing turned to a nearby town and bought a lot of food and drink, and then climbed this familiar green mountain.

There is no road in the world, but when there are many people who walk, it becomes a road.

Li Qing followed the winding path, winding upward.

Two quarters of an hour later, Li Qing carried a large bag and a small bag to the green mountain.

"Master, I'm back!"

Li Qing didn't dare to step forward, so he only shouted from afar, waiting for a response anxiously.

Soon, the door was opened, and a middle-aged man came out with a hoe.

"Who are you?" The middle-aged man spoke, his expression full of vigilance.

"I ......" Li Qing was stunned for a moment and said in surprise, "Zhu Yunwen?" ”

Yes, the middle-aged man with a scruffy beard and dark skin in front of him is Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen did not die, nor did he abdicate, strictly speaking, he is still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"You've mistaken someone." Zhu Yunwen was a little flustered, "There is no Zhu Yunwen here, who are you?" ”

"Li Qing!"

"Li Qing?" Zhu Yunwen recalled the past and said in surprise, "Why are you ......?" ”

"My face hurts, so I'm wearing this." Li Qing explained and asked urgently, "What about Master?" ”

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and reluctantly accepted the facts, "His old man went to collect medicine, and it is estimated that he will come back in two days." ”

Hearing this, Li Qing finally put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Don't you invite me into the house to sit?" ”

Zhu Yunwen also smiled, put down the hoe and made a gesture of please, "Senior brother, please come in." ”

"Senior brother?" Li Qing was stunned, "Master also accepted you as a disciple?" ”

"Hmm." Zhu Yunwen nodded, pulled out the wooden latch, and pushed the door open, "You sit first, I'll go to the kettle for tea." ”

Li Qing didn't stop his enthusiasm, put down his things, and looked at the strange and familiar room.

The furnishings are the same as they were a few decades ago, and although they are shabby, they are much cleaner than they were at the beginning.

Soon, Zhu Yunwen came in with a teapot, found two cups and poured a cup of tea for Li Qing, and asked, "Is this time to find Master, or ......?"

"Find Master." Li Qing gave him a reassurance, "Jianwen is dead, and the world knows it." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen relaxed and chuckled, "Long time no see." ”

"Long time no see."

……

The two chatted for a long time, talking about their respective lives over the years, and about the changes in Daming today.

Zhu Yunwen sighed: "He is more suitable to be the emperor, which is good, he has lived the life he wants, and I am also very satisfied with my current life, which can be described as a great joy." ”

Li Qing nodded lightly and asked with a smile, "Are you still used to it?" ”

"There's nothing I'm not used to, I'm having fun." Zhu Yunwen was very open-minded, "Let's go, take you to see my results." ”

"Results?"

~

Zhu Yunwen's result is a vegetable garden.

The greens are growing very well, green, and look very gratifying.

Zhu Yunwen picked up a hoe and cleared the weeds, loosened the soil, and watered the vegetable garden...... While farming, he talked about his experience in growing vegetables.

Years of hardship have made him look much more mature than his actual age, and the posture of rolling up his sleeves and tightening his belt to work is no different from that of an old farmer in the field.

He was doing it, and Li Qing was watching from the sidelines.

Zhu Yunwen is a good hand at tending to crops, and under his cultivation, the vegetable garden is vibrant, just like today's Ming Dynasty.

During this period, the two chatted with each other, relaxed and harmonious.

As the sun set, the two returned to their accommodation.

Zhu Yunwen, who had worked for half a day, used the fruits of his labor to fry two dishes for Li Qing.

The taste is very average, but Li Qing eats sweetly.

After dinner, Zhu Yunwen found half a candle, took a book, and enjoyed the tranquility by candlelight.

Li Qing also took out a copy from the bookshelf and flipped through it.

……

The next day, Zhang returned with a basket of medicines.

Seeing Li Qing come back to see him, the old man was very happy, and scolded with a smile: "You kid still has some conscience. ”

Li Qing smiled: "Master Shenlong can't see the head but not the end, the disciple thinks you have nowhere to find it!" ”

After a pause, "In the future, you don't have to wander around anymore, just stay here peacefully, the disciple misses you, so I will come to see you." ”

"Well, that's fine." Zhang sloppy agreed.

Li Qing was surprised, "Really? ”

He was ready to persuade him, but he didn't expect the old man to be so cheerful, "Master, you won't lie to me again, will you?" ”

"What do you mean?" Zhang was sloppy and dissatisfied, "When did I lie to you?" ”

"Hongwu Ten Years ......"

"Okay, okay, can't you remember a little bit of Master's goodness?" Zhang Sloppy's face was a little unbearable, "This time it's true, I'll be on this mountain in the future." ”

Immediately, he sighed, "I'm old, and I don't have the energy to wander around, so I can't accept the old age!" ”

Li Qing's heart was sour, "Master, you also said before that it would not be a problem to live another seventy or eighty years, how many young people are you?" ”

Zhang sloppy said helplessly: "Who can say the matter of life and death?" I'm not like you...... Forget it, I'll try to live as long as I can, right? ”

He didn't have a good breath and said, "How many adults you are, you still look like a child, the old man taught you self-cultivation, you don't remember it at all!" ”

Li Qing said: "Self-cultivation is still possible, my true qi has been improving all these years." ”

"Let's try, let's try?"

"Okay!"

The two of them came outside to put on a stance.

Zhu Yunwen chased after him and said, "It's over." ”

"That's nature." Li Qing nodded with a smile and raised his voice, "Master, you have to be careful. ”

The little old man was proudly independent, "Just come." ”

Li Qing took a deep breath, kicked his right foot violently, and his body was like an arrow off the string, rushing forward.

He knew Master's strength, so he didn't keep his hand.

With the blessing of true qi, Li Qing's speed was extremely fast, and before he could get close, the strong wind swept the old man's beard and lifted it.

"Bang ——!"

Zhang was sloppy and came first, slapped Li Qing away, and said sarcastically, "That's it? ”

"......" Li Qing patted the soil on his body and forcibly saved his respect, "I was afraid of hurting you just now, since the master is still at the peak, then I will go all out." ”

He slowly calmed down the surging true qi and stepped forward again, this time, Li Qing used all his strength.

However, it did not change the results.

Master's speed is obviously very slow, but he can always get ahead of him, which is very weird.

"Again." Li Qing was not convinced.

"Bang ——!"

"Again."

"Bang ——!"

"Not coming." Li Qing softened, "Master is so powerful, I'm not an opponent." ”

Zhang clapped his hands sloppily, "The true qi is a lot more refined, but compared with being a teacher, it is still far behind." ”

“…… Master, what kind of punch are you, how come I have never seen it before? ”

"Want to learn?"

Li Qing flattered, "You teach me." ”

"It's not time yet." Zhang said sloppily, "I'll teach you when the teacher is perfect." ”

"Okay then." Li Qing patted the soil on his body, "Master, I bought a lot of your favorite food, let's improve it today." ”

As soon as he heard that there was something delicious, Zhang was sloppy and came to his senses, "Count your kid as having a conscience." ”

"Xiao Zhu, how long has it been since we opened meat?"

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said, "The last time I opened meat, it was still last time!" ”

"......" Zhang Sloppy was so speechless last time, or last time, "Let's go, eat with your belly open today, your senior brother has money." ”

Pork head, roast chicken, wine, melons and fruits, dim sum...... The master and apprentice haven't eaten good food for a long time, like hungry wolves.

Zhu Yunwen is better, Zhang Sloppy really doesn't care about the demeanor of an elder, and he shows off when he catches it.

After the two of them were full of food and drink, Li Qing took out a large pile of treasure money, "Master, you keep these, and if you want to eat anything in the future, you can buy them." ”

Zhang Sloppy never said politely to Li Qing, and accepted it happily.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Zhu Yunwen knew that the master and apprentice hadn't seen each other for many years and had a lot to say, so he got up and said, "Master, senior brother, I'm going to cultivate the vegetable garden, you can talk." ”

Li Qing smiled: "Don't work so hard, I will come often in the future." ”

"That's different." Zhu Yunwen said, "A drink and a peck, all are practice, the junior brother has been practicing for ten years, how can he be affected by external objects and lose his heart?" ”

The current Zhu Yunwen can afford to take it, put it down, has a stable heart, and always maintains a normal heart.

Zhang Sloppy thought so, and at the same time did not forget to teach Li Qing a lesson, "Look at Xiao Zhu's temperament, he is much stronger than you, the senior brother." ”

"......" Li Qing's face was injured, "Master, you used to call me Xiaoqing." ”

Zhang Sloppy rolled his eyes, "You have a lot of witty words." ”

After all, I haven't seen him for ten years, and the old man complains, but he is still very happy about the arrival of his apprentice.

"Speaking of which, I was originally free, but since I accepted you as an apprentice, I have been worried about it." Zhang sloppy complained, "If I knew this was the case, I wouldn't have left you alone." ”

"People are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless?" Li Qing smiled and groaned, "In Master's words, this is also a kind of cultivation. ”

"That's right." Zhang nodded sloppily, "Don't fix this with the master, take off the hood and let the old man take a good look at you." ”

Li Qing did so and took off the hood.

With long black and thick hair hanging naturally, his face is like a crown of jade, and his eyes are like a star, he still looks like a good son, and he is still the age of the crown.

Zhang Sloppy sighed, "Except for the long hair, everything else is the same as the first time I saw you, it's really good." ”

After a pause, "That's bad. ”
