On that day, Luo Xiangxue and Liu Ruyan were separated in the Immortal Residence Post Road, and they didn't realize that a few days had passed.

As soon as she remembered the scene of her first encounter with Liu Ruyan, a fluttering and gentle feeling rose in her heart.

The unexpected encounter with him in the inn a few days ago made her feel an inexplicable joy, as if something was trembling faintly in her heart, as if a looming fawn ran into her heart, jumping wildly unscrupulously. It disturbed her mind, but she felt happy in her heart, and this inexplicable feeling made her mood bright and light.

She couldn't tell what it was like. I just felt that since she met him again at the inn that day, she suddenly felt that everything in this world had become so beautiful!

In the past few days, she has traveled to almost every beautiful place near the Immortal Habitat, and has tasted many delicacies that she has never eaten before.

This immortal dwelling town is not big, from beginning to end, there is only such a long street, and I have walked around it unconsciously.

This time, she secretly ran down the mountain without telling her father and mother. Now, like a bird escaping from her cage, she enjoys her uncontrolled leisure time.

The world outside the mountain made her feel lively and novel, unlike staying in the mountains, boring and boring. What made her mad the most was that her father and mother forced her to practice and learn the piano every day.

She was tired of that kind of life, and if she didn't sneak down the mountain to relax, she was afraid that sooner or later she would go crazy.

Counting the days, today is the fourth day she has come down the mountain. Early in the morning, she was wearing a men's gown and a long sword in her hand, and as soon as she came out of the room, she met Xiao Er and hurriedly came upstairs early.

When the little second saw her, he greeted her with a smile: "Guest officer, why are you up so early today? Where is the guest officer going this morning? The little one has prepared breakfast for the guest officer, but the guest officer wants to eat a little?" The little second looked at her and smiled brightly.

Luo Xiangxue yawned, stretched, as if she hadn't woken up, rubbed her eyes and said slowly, "Little second brother, what are you delicious?"

See several dishes in the tray with milk, snacks, fritters and eggs. It's steaming hot, and it looks fresh. She was feeling hungry in her stomach, so she grabbed a few steaming buns and stuffed them into her mouth, gobbling them up.

The little second looked at her with a poor and sour appearance, rolled his eyes in surprise, and said secretly in his heart: "Could this person be the reincarnation of a hungry ghost?"

It turned out that she came back too late last night, and after a long day of wandering outside, she felt very tired, and when she returned to the inn, she even forgot to eat dinner, and went straight back to her room to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, I felt empty and hungry.

Yesterday evening, when she passed by a lonely alley, she suddenly saw a middle-aged woman crying in the alley, crying and cursing in her mouth, seeing her crying tears, she felt strange, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask what was going on.

The woman said with tears in her eyes that she had just met a robber who had robbed her of all the money.

After listening to the woman's cry and asking the direction of the robber's escape, Luo Xiangxue chased all the way out along the long alley, chasing two hundred meters away, and then saw the corner of the robber's clothes flashing around the corner. She hurried after it, but the robber was gone.

By the time she returned to the alley out of breath, the woman was gone.

She felt an inexplicable anger in her heart, and she didn't know whether it was because of the cruelty and ruthlessness of the robbers, or because of her own nosy, and she could only drag her tired body back to the inn slowly.

When she was strolling around the market yesterday, she overheard a group of people sitting around and discussing, saying that there was a Taoist temple called "Feixian Temple" on Peach Blossom Mountain near here, and there was a Taoist chief who lived in the Taoist temple like a god.

It is said that this long Tao is profound, and he is a very powerful character: divination and fortune telling, fortune telling, yin and yang five elements, feng shui is easy to reason, and he can be said to be proficient in everything.

What's even more expressive is that it is said that he only needs to look at a person's face to predict the person's past and present life: from what year, month, day, and place he was born, to what year, month, day, and place he will die.

It was as if the life of a stranger who had nothing to do with him was the spectator of what he saw. Sounds so mysterious!

Yesterday in the market, after she went to watch a street show, on the way back to the inn saw a group of people sitting together, talking about something, so she curiously came forward to listen, so she decided to go to Peach Blossom Mountain early this morning to meet the legendary mysterious Taoist. I want to see for myself if he is really as powerful as the legend says!

In the past few days at the bottom of the mountain, she has seen and heard a lot of strange things, but this mysterious Taoist has aroused her full curiosity. She had to meet this Taoist!

Because she had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the people, she didn't know how to go to the "Flying Immortal Temple" in Peach Blossom Mountain, so she came to a tea shop on the side of the road and wanted to inquire about the store.

As soon as she led the horse to the tea shop, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears greeted her and asked with a smile: "Good morning, this guest officer! What kind of tea does the guest officer want to drink?"

He saw Luo Xiangxue holding a long sword in her hand, a burden on her shoulders, and a kettle pinned to her waist.

He has seen a lot of people dressed up like this, and knows that most of the people in the rivers and lakes have strange temperaments and short tempers, and if they are treated slowly, once they start a fire, they can be enough for him to drink a pot. At worst, the store will be smashed, and at worst, it may lead to death.

Therefore, he is always submissive, for fear of offending all kinds of immortals.

Luo Xiangxue was a gentle-tempered "fairy", she clasped her fists at the middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "May I ask the shopkeeper, do you know how to go to the Flying Immortal Temple?"

When the middle-aged man saw that she was not answering the question, he thought to himself that this person was not here to drink tea, so he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still greeted him with a smile and said curtly: "The guest officer is going to Feixian Temple,"

He thought for a moment, blinked and said, "The Flying Immortal Temple is on the Peach Blossom Mountain five miles ahead, and everyone here knows it, but I don't know what the guest officer is going to do in the Flying Immortal Temple?"

He smiled suddenly, and a strange look appeared on his face, as if he was a little cowardly.

When Luo Xiangxue heard this, she nodded, and saw that the middle-aged man had a strange expression, and suddenly had doubts in her heart. But it was inconvenient to ask, so he hugged his fist at the middle-aged man, smiled slightly, and said, "I don't have anything important, just go shopping, thank you for the store's guidance!"

The middle-aged man still wanted to take care of the business again, so he asked again: "Do you want to have a cup of tea before you go?" We have good Mao Feng, Tieguanyin, Zhuyeqing, Jasmine, Longjing ......... in our shop."

Luo Xiangxue saw that the store was very enthusiastic, and just showed her the way, she didn't want to drink it, but she couldn't refuse, so she said: "It's okay, then give me a cup of bamboo leaf green!"

She then tied her horse to the willow tree beside the shop, found a table and sat down, and laid her sword and baggage on the table.

The morning air was unusually fresh, with a hint of coolness, and a white morning mist shrouded the houses.

At this moment, she sat here, and couldn't help but think of the scene of her unexpected encounter with Liu Ruyan in the Drunken Xianlou Inn that day, the two were strangers, but they were squeezed on a table by ghost, from the beginning of the awkwardness to gradually recognize each other, and talked very happily, and later they borrowed the ground to worship, and they were separated...... The scenes that happened that day seemed to be right in front of my eyes.

She sighed, the fate between people is really a strange thing! She thought to herself: I don't know how he is doing now after a few days of separation? Has he arrived at Cuihua Mountain safely? Has he successfully picked up her sister? What is he doing at this moment? Will he think of me occasionally?.........

Thinking of this, she suddenly became sentimental again.

She even thought of her father and mother, who were always very strict with her when she was in the mountains, and would arrange her to do many things every day that she would not have wanted to do.

She was suffocated to death when she stayed in the mountains all day, and her father and mother might never know what she really wanted in her heart, what kind of life she wanted to live? They always liked to impose their preferences on her. This had to make her feel tired and rebellious.

And now, she had secretly run down the mountain, and they must have died in a hurry when they couldn't find her at home! But she really didn't want to go back to that place. Before he ran out, he left a letter for his father and mother to hide under the pillow, and I don't know if they saw it?

It has been several days since she came out of the mountains, and she suddenly can't help but miss her father and mother, perhaps, in her heart, she still loves them deeply and cares about them.

But why, such emotions can only be manifested after leaving?

She sat there and suddenly thought a lot, thinking of Liu Ruyan, and also of her father and mother.

At one point, she wondered if she was their own, especially when they reprimanded her severely.

And at this moment, there is no resentment in her heart, only deep longing!

Therefore, she made another decision: after going to Feixian Temple today, she will go home and return to her father and mother!

Just as she was looking at a few weeping willows in the distance in a daze, the shopkeeper had already brought the tea to her, and said with a smile: "This guest officer, please use tea!" Hearing the shopkeeper's words, she came back to her senses.

He glanced at the horse under the willow tree, picked up the teacup, and drank it in small sips. This tea tastes good, smells fragrant, and is slightly green when you drink it, which is the best fresh bamboo leaf green.

When she was at home, her father loved to drink tea, and she often carried a bamboo basket to the Moon Bay Tea Garden a few miles away to pick fresh tea for her father.

After the tea, she took out a few pieces of broken silver from her pocket and paid for the tea. Under the slightly puzzled gaze of the shopkeeper, he embarked on the road to the Flying Immortal Temple.

At this time, it was nine o'clock in the morning, and the weather was not very good today. Suddenly, it began to rain in the gloomy sky, and although it was not very heavy, it was enough to wet the clothes.

She rode her horse and galloped slowly, and the sound of hooves was audible, and the steed galloped along the official road for a while, past a turquoise field and rows of red-walled and gray-eated cottages.

Seeing that the rain showed no signs of stopping, but was falling heavier and heavier, after a while, her body was drenched with dense raindrops, the horses galloped very fast, and the wind blew in the four fields, she only felt that her body was cold and swishing, and she couldn't help but shiver for a while.

The horse, drenched and uncomfortable, slowed down, as if in a state of flux, and raised its head to neigh.

At this time, she had entered the territory of Peach Blossom Mountain, turned into a mountain road, the road was quite wide, and the two sides were covered with lush trees.

She thought to herself: I have to find a place to shelter from the rain, and then go up the mountain when the rain stops.

She raised her eyes and looked around, and saw a four-cornered mountain pavilion in the shade not far ahead, and then rode her horse to the mountain pavilion. Tighten the reins, roll over and dismount. He tied his horse to the eaves of the pavilion and walked in quickly.

There was a square stone table in the middle of the pavilion, and there were several stone benches around it, and she just wanted to sit down and rest. Suddenly, a man's voice sounded in his ears: "During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and the pedestrians on the road want to break their souls!

I could only hear a recitation of the Seven Rules, and a young man of about twenty years of age hurried out from the corner of the boulevard.

He was dressed in a green cloth with shoulders, his hair was in a high bun, his forehead was broad, and his starry eyes blinked with a slightly flustered look. He held a small hoe in his hand, and as he ran, he covered the rain above his head with his hands, and he carried a small bamboo basket on his back, which seemed to contain some green herbs.

The clothes on his body were also wet, he soon came to the pavilion, just stepped on the steps, as soon as he looked up, he saw a "young man in white" sitting in the pavilion, almost startled him, he fixed his eyes on the "young man in white" in front of him, grinned at the "young man", and said with some embarrassment: "This rain is really not the right time, just come up the mountain, I encountered rain, wet my body, it is really unlucky." With that, he put down the bamboo basket and shook the dust on his body with his hands.

"The boy in white" Luo Xiangxue saw that he was drenched in the rain like a chicken in soup, and covered his mouth with his hand and couldn't help laughing, but he couldn't help it. glanced at him, and then looked up at the eaves of the pavilion, looking left and right.

The young man shook off the dust and sat down again, but his body was wet with rain, and he was very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the long sword beside the "young man in white", his heart was stunned, he became alert, and thought: "Looking at this young man's dress, could it be that he is from the rivers and lakes? Immediately, he got up and shifted his position, and sat farther away from the "young man in white".

The two of them sat in the pavilion and looked at the surrounding mountain scenery. No one spoke, and the atmosphere became a little weird.

At this time, the rain has gradually weakened, and a gust of mountain wind blows, mixed with a sweet fragrance of plants and trees, which is refreshing.

The young man screamed and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back alive. Occasionally, he sneaked a glance at the young man in white, and when he saw the long sword, he seemed a little timid.

At this time, the "young man in white" Luo Xiangxue sighed deeply, looked up at the sky, and muttered to herself: "Alas, I didn't expect that the first time I came to this mountain, I encountered rain, it was really beautiful, it seems that Peach Blossom Mountain does not welcome me as a guest!"

She seemed to be talking to herself, and she couldn't help but glance at the young man out of the corner of her eye. The young man happened to be looking at her, and in an instant their eyes met, and each other was stunned, and immediately withdrew his gaze.

The young man suddenly accosted and said, "May I ask if this son is here to play in Peach Blossom Mountain?" he said, turning his head to look at Luo Xiangxue, a young man in white.

"Young man in white" Luo Xiangxue was stunned when she heard this, then smiled at him and said, "Well, I just passed by here below, and it suddenly rained in the sky, and I saw that there was a mountain pavilion here, so I came in to take shelter." ”

The young man smiled at her, and said, "Oh, I see, I came to the mountains early in the morning to collect medicine, and I didn't want it to rain suddenly, so I had to come in and take shelter." ”

He then asked, "Listening to Childe's accent, it seems that he is not a local?"

"Young man in white" Luo Xiangxue frowned, blinked her eyes, and said suspiciously: "How do you know that I am not a local?" She was surprised in her heart, how did this person see it.

The young man scratched his head and laughed: "Don't hide it from my son, my house is at the foot of the mountain, and I can see many outsiders from afar every day. Just look at the child's outfit and the accent of his speech. He straightened his sleeves, stood up, and paced slowly around the pavilion.

"Young man in white" Luo Xiangxue couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, and said quietly: "Your Excellency is really a good eye, you are indeed not a local here," she paused, hesitated and said, "Then where does Your Excellency look like I am from?" She suddenly felt that this young man who was collecting medicine was very interesting, and her heart gradually relaxed her guard.

The young man frowned, thought for a moment, looked at the "young man in white", and said with a little snort: "Well, I look at the face of the son, could it be a native of Shudi?" He looked at the young man in white slightly.

"The young man in white" Luo Xiangxue glanced at him with a smile, and said faintly: "Oh, look at the face?

When the young man heard this, he laughed and said, "Childe made fun of me, where will I see what face, it's just a random guess." He reached out again and scratched his head, hesitating a little embarrassed.

"Young man in white" Luo Xiangxue looked at the sky and said slowly: "Your Excellency guessed wrong just now, I am not from Shudi. ”

The young man said curiously, "Oh, I'm just guessing at random, don't be surprised!" He paused, and then said, "It's not Shudi, where is it?"

"Don't hide it from Your Excellency, I'm from Qindi. Luo Xiangxue looked at him and smiled slightly.

"Oh, Qindi?" he nodded thoughtfully.

"Where is Qin Di, not far from here?" he asked as if he was about to break the casserole.

"The young man in white" Luo Xiangxue thought about it and said: "Qindi is not far from here, just on the border of Shudi. ”

The young man let out an "oh", as if he understood. He suddenly sighed and said slowly: "I came up the mountain today, but I didn't find the herb that my mother wanted, and I was afraid that I would be scolded again when I went back." He was a little worried.

Luo Xiangxue saw that his face was worried, and asked suspiciously, "Your mother asked you to come to the mountain to collect medicine?"

"Hmm. My mother said that there was a herb on the mountain that could cure my father's rheumatism, and that I had asked me to go up the mountain early this morning to look for it, "but I had searched half the mountain and could not find that herb." With that, he sighed deeply.

Luo Xiangxue asked curiously, "Cure rheumatism?"

The young man hurriedly said, "My mother said that the medicine is called hyssop." The treatment of rheumatism is very powerful, Qianghuo, Eucommia, and Wujiapi have all been found, but only this medicine can not be found. ”

He looked at the bamboo basket on the ground, and said quietly, "My mother said that these herbs must be added together to be effective, and if they can't be combined, there will be no cure for my father's rheumatism, my father's rheumatism is very serious, and when he attacks, he often can't sleep!

Luo Xiangxue saw that he was extremely anxious when he talked about his father's illness, so she suddenly had a good impression of him.

She smiled at him and comforted him: "It can be seen that you are very filial to your father, don't worry, take your time, you can always find it." Then she said, "We've been talking for so long, and we haven't asked you what to call it?" and she slowly walked over to the stone bench and sat down.

The young man smiled at her and said, "My name is Hua Bufan, I don't know the name of Gongzi Gao?"

Luo Xiangxue's heart froze, her eyes blinked, and she groaned: "My surname is Luo, and my name is Xiangxue." She saw that he was very sincere, and she did not want to hide it from him.

When Hua Bufan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he whispered softly: "Luo Xiangxue, your name is so good! Fragrant... Xue, uh-huh, what a good name!" After saying that, he immediately felt puzzled again, frowned and said: "Master Luo, this name is so special, it's just ......" He hesitated slightly, and a trace of awkwardness appeared on his face. I don't know what to say.

Luo Xiangxue was stunned when she saw that he wanted to talk about it, and asked suspiciously, "Just what?" She looked at him lightly, as if smiling.

Hua Bufan scratched his head and said a little hesitantly: "Master Luo, hehe...... I was just...... I just think it's a little weird, and I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

Luo Xiangxue glanced at him, and said leisurely: "What's weird? Brother Hua is talking about it!"

Hua Bufan screamed, seemed to be a little embarrassed, looked at her and said cautiously: "If I say it, don't be angry?"

Luo Xiangxue's heart moved, and she said, "What's weird? Brother Hua, but it's okay to say it! I promise not to be angry." Looking at Hua Bufan's spitting appearance, she couldn't help but want to laugh, but she pursed her lips and couldn't help laughing.

Hua Bufan looked at her face and said tentatively: "The name of Luo Gongzi is really good, but ...... It always feels like a woman's name!"

When Luo Xiangxue heard him say this, her heart trembled suddenly, and she thought: It turns out that he has found out that I am a woman! Isn't this going to be made fun of by him, it's really a shame, how should I say it?

She then turned her head away from him, her face already showing a panicked look, but in an instant she pretended to be calm, and said, "Ah, what, a woman's name, how can it be a woman's name?" She deliberately took two steps forward, a little farther away from him, lest he see her panic and weakness. Immediately glanced at him and said, "Can only a woman take such a name?"

Hua Bufan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "I'm just talking casually, don't be surprised by Master Luo!"

In fact, since he stepped into this mountain pavilion, the first time he saw her, he felt that this young man had fair skin, blue eyebrows, beautiful eyes, a face like peach blossoms, and the gestures and demeanor of his gestures, as well as the tone and voice of his speech...... They all look like women!

It's just that she is wearing men's clothes, and her whole body is also dressed as a man, so she didn't guess in this regard, but now, when she hears her name, with endless gentleness and softness, it is clearly the name of a woman's family!

It seems that this flower is not stupid, but her mind is really finer than that of a woman! I can already guess from her demeanor and name that she is a woman.

He was afraid that his abrupt words would make her unhappy, or even angry, and draw his sword against her...... The long sword beside her was black, like a snake, and it wasn't fun to provoke her.

It seems that she is dressed as a person in the rivers and lakes, wandering around with a sword alone, and dares to come to this mountain forest single-handedly...... Maybe he is still a first-class master in the rivers and lakes!

In fact, Luo Xiangxue also beat the drum in her heart, for fear that he would see his identity as a woman, and if he disguised himself as a man, wouldn't he laugh off his big teeth?

Therefore, in order to avoid embarrassment, she immediately interjected the topic: "I think Brother Hua is straightforward, why don't you and I make friends, how about it?" She glanced at him, his guess just now made her both embarrassed and funny, she felt that this person was very interesting, and she had a good impression of him in her heart, and she was quite willing to get acquainted with him. People walk on the rivers and lakes, and it is not a bad thing to have one more friend!

Hua Bufan looked at the sky, after the rain, the gloomy atmosphere in the sky had gradually dissipated and became bright. A rainbow rises from the mountain peaks in the distance!

The chirping of birds in the mountains and forests adds a lot of life to this silent empty mountain! A gust of mountain wind blows, scattering the rain on the leaves!

Luo Xiangxue's horse was still pacing back and forth in place, shaking its tail, and it also breathed in the refreshing breath of the mountains and forests after the rain!

When Hua Bufan heard that this handsome young man was willing to be friends with him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking: I didn't have many confidant friends since I was a child, and I originally had a sibling brother, but in the early years, I got a serious illness inexplicably, and he died ten years ago, and now there are no other relatives in the family except for my father and mother. Although I have a father and a mother at home, it is inconvenient to talk to them about some of my thoughts......

Thinking in his heart, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but say happily: "Luo Gongzi is willing to make friends with me, then dare to be kind! I really can't ask for it, this is really good!" He paused, and then said, "Then we will be called brothers in the future! It's just that I don't know if Brother Luo is expensive this year?"

Luo Xiangxue turned her head, looked at him, and said with a slight smile: "I......" She suddenly hesitated, and said leisurely, "Brother Hua, do you want to say it first?" Women are always a little embarrassed when others ask about their age. She unconsciously revealed the cowardice of a woman again.

This inadvertent cowardice was naturally seen by Fan Bufan, but he pretended not to see it, so it was better to keep this secret in his heart.

He couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, stayed for a long time, and said, "Okay, then I'll say it first, don't hide it from Brother Luo, I just turned twenty years old this year." Brother Luo, what about you?"

Luo Xiangxue's eyes blinked, and she said quietly: "I'm eighteen this year, then you are older than me," she smiled, "Then I should call you brother." ”

After that, he pretended to make a gesture, hugged his fist towards Hua Bufan, bowed and said, "Little brother Luo Xiangxue, I've seen Brother Hua!"

Her gesture immediately amused the two of them, and they couldn't help laughing.
