Chapter 9: Parting
Time flies, and without anyone noticing, eight and a half years have flown by.
Small dust-free ...... No, it's time to call his real name, Li Wuchen.
Li Wuchen was wearing a bronze Taoist crown on his head, wearing a coarse sermon robe, stepping on dragon pattern boots, and carrying a vermilion peachwood sword behind his back, on which a dragon and a phoenix were carved, and in the center of the hilt, there was an inexplicable gemstone carved gossip map.
He stood at the top of the cliff at the top of Wuwei Mountain, and behind him was the old Taoist priest who had gray hair and looked more and more old, and his tall and exquisite, beautiful senior sister, Li Qingfeng.
"Are you sure you're leaving?"
There were some tears in the old Taoist's cloudy eyes, after many years of getting along, he had long regarded Li Wuchen as his half son.
"Yes, Master, the ten-year covenant has arrived, and it is time for me to fulfill it. ”
Li Wuchen clenched his hands into fists and said respectfully towards his master.
"Alright!"
Li Qingfeng's words were very simple and a little cold, but Li Wuchen's ears had a warm temperature, and he could never forget that little Qingfeng back then, single-handedly, facing more than 30 guards and standing up for him.
"When traveling, remember to pay attention to safety, the rivers and lakes are treacherous, and pay more attention. ”
The old Taoist priest is old, and he chatters like an ordinary old man.
"You should rest assured, no matter how bad the people on the rivers and lakes are, can they be as bad as my second master?"
Li Wuchen smiled, he had been tormented by Old Man Qiu all these years, and all kinds of vicious routines beckoned to him, the purpose was to let him understand the sinister hearts of people as soon as possible.
"There is still some money here for the teacher, you take it for self-defense first. ”
The old Taoist priest trembled and took out a money bag that had been sewn countless times from his shabby robe, stretched out his hand, shook it a few times, and fell out of it with five copper plates, and then carefully handed it to Li Wuchen.
The scene in front of him couldn't help but make Li Wuchen's heart sour, yes, he almost forgot that his master was more than a hundred years old, but he was going to leave him at this time.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Wuchen held the five copper plates that seemed to be as heavy as Mount Tai in his right hand, his eyes were full of tears, he knelt on his knees, and kowtowed three times to the old Taoist.
"Master is above, the apprentice will definitely come back as soon as possible and serve you. ”
After that, under the eyes of the old Taoist priest and Li Qingfeng, he stepped on his feet, and his body jumped out, and there was a high cliff under his feet.
'Tweet ......'
With a soft roar, a huge white crane more than three meters long flew out from under the cliff......
Li Wuchen performed a light body technique, and landed lightly on the white crane's back.
"Master, senior sister, please take care of your body, I'll go first. ”
Dabai's speed was much faster than eight and a half years ago, and a streamer swept by, and disappeared in the range of Wuwei Mountain in an instant.
On Wuwei Mountain, the old Taoist priest and Li Qingfeng did not move for a long time, and they did not retract their gaze until the small black dot disappeared.
The old Taoist priest glanced at Li Qingfeng and said softly, "Is he leaving?"
Li Qingfeng closed his eyes for a moment before replying, "Let's go!"
Hearing Li Qingfeng say this, the old Taoist priest quickly lifted his Taoist robe and walked quickly towards the Taoist temple, with Li Qingfeng following ......
After a while, the old Taoist priest held a roast chicken in his left hand and a huge plate of pig's trotters in his right hand and quickly walked out of the view.
Li Qingfeng ran out from behind the old Taoist priest with two jars of fragrant wine.
The two masters and apprentices sat down in front of the stone table outside the view, the old Taoist priest reached out and tore off one of the legs of the roast chicken, opened his mouth and took a big bite, touched a cup with Li Qingfeng, and after taking a sip, he laughed heartily and said, "That scourge is finally gone, let's not get drunk today." ”
Looking at his appearance, where is there still a little old-fashioned, he has been doing it for a long time, and he is all pretending.
"Drink!"
Due to the cultivation of the "Taishang Wuwei Tao Te Ching", Li Qingfeng's temperament became more and more cold, although there were not many words, but his cold eyes were full of excitement.
Looking at the posture of the two of them, if it weren't for the lack of ceremonial flowers, they would have to put two buckets today......
............
Da Bai didn't send Li Wuchen far, and stopped at the entrance of Qingshan Town as usual, unlike in the past, now there was a tall girl in green silk plain clothes and a flowing cloud bun standing at the entrance of the town.
Seeing Li Wuchen, the girl smiled and beckoned to Li Wuchen, "Brother Wuchen, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for nearly an hour." ”
Li Wuchen slapped his forehead, looked at the newly lit sky a little speechlessly, and said, "Xiao Yue'er, didn't you say that I would go alone?"
Liu Mingyue trotted to Li Wuchen's side, wrapped her arms around his right arm with both hands, and said coquettishly, "I don't care, I am your daughter-in-law who has not passed the door, if you run away and don't come back, what can I do?"
After that, he also pointed to the burden on his back, explaining that no matter what, he was determined to go with him today.
The old Taoist priest made it easy for Liu Yuan to set the baby kiss between Li Wuchen and Liu Mingyue many years ago, and agreed to let the two marry on the day of Li Wuchen and the crown.
Li Wuchen couldn't resist her, so he could only let her follow, the reason why he didn't leave immediately was because he hadn't said goodbye to his second master, although Old Man Qiu often teased him, but in the past eight and a half years, he taught him his skills, and Li Wuchen's feelings for him were also very strong.
The small lake, the bluestone road, the bamboo forest, and the wooden houses are still the same.
Li Wuchen didn't shake the red thread, but walked on the waves, and entered the pharmacy from the terrace.
His light skills were so good that even Old Man Qiu didn't notice that he had entered the house.
Old man Qiu was sleeping in a rocking chair next to the terrace, and a slight snoring sounded from his nose.
Li Wuchen was about to tease Old Man Qiu, but found that on the coffee table beside him, there was a light blue baggage and a letter.
Li Wuchen was stunned for a moment, tiptoed over to the coffee table, and slowly opened the letter......
'I am dustless'
'The teacher has learned that you are going to travel far away, so I have prepared a pair of silver taels and medicine for self-defense for you. ’
"There is also a token here, if something happens, you can go to Tianji Pavilion and find Tianjizi, he owes me a life, see the order as if you see people, he will definitely help you solve your affairs with all his might." ’
There is also a line of subtle small words in the inscription, and the ink is a little different, which seems to have been added after writing the above paragraph.
'For the teacher, I can't see you parting, take your things and go directly, so you don't have to say goodbye. ’
Li Wuchen's hands trembled slightly, and with red eyes, he carefully folded the letter again, put it close to his body, and then knelt down on his knees and kowtowed three times to Old Man Qiu.
'Second Master, disciple is gone!'
He didn't say this, Li Wuchen looked at this hideous face that once frightened him with nostalgia, but now he felt so kind.
got up and took the salute and returned the way it came, this series of actions did not disturb Old Man Qiu.
Not long after Li Wuchen left, Old Man Qiu slowly opened his eyes, looked at the already empty coffee table, his eyes were lonely, and he looked sideways at the sparkling terrace, as if he was dozens of years old in an instant.
"Let's go!"
Not far from the pharmacy, Liu Mingyue led the horse, saw Li Wuchen come out, and hurriedly said.
Li Wuchen took a deep breath, smiled at Liu Mingyue, and said, "I still want to visit your grandfather, otherwise I will take you away like this, the old man is worried, what should I do?"
When Liu Mingyue heard this, she pondered for a moment, thinking that it should indeed be so, so she did not refuse, and walked with Li Wuchen to the Liu Mansion.
"You go knock on the door, I'm waiting for you here, don't worry, I will never leave!"
After Li Wuchen gave Liu Mingyue a reassuring smile, he handed her the horse leash.
Only then did Liu Mingyue put her mind at ease, stepped forward lightly, buckled the door knocker, and shouted inside, "Grandpa, open the door, Brother Wuchen has come to see you." ”
After saying that, he turned his head and smiled behind him, but he didn't know that as soon as he turned around, he saw a pile of dust rushing towards him.
"You...... You ......"
Liu Mingyue pointed at Li Wuchen hatefully, and before she finished speaking, she fainted.
Li Wuchen's eyes were quick, and after catching Liu Mingyue before she landed, he slowly put her on the ground.
Picking up the horse rope in her hand, Li Wuchen hurriedly rode his horse away.
What if you don't rush it, what if Old Man Liu comes out and sees that she has dizzed her granddaughter and is desperate with herself?
Li Wuchen left for less than three breaths, the vermilion lacquer door slowly opened, Liu Yuan saw Liu Mingyue lying on the ground, looked around, and roared, "Li Wuchen, you come out for me." ”
After waiting for a while, he found that no one responded, so he slowly and hurriedly carried Liu Mingyue into the guest house, and at the same time kept muttering that the next time he saw him, he must break his legs.

To the east of Qingshan Town, a day and night in a hurry, is the Nanding City guarding the southern Xinjiang, and Lin Ruomeng agreed that once he wants to see him, he will first go to Nanding City to find her second uncle Lin Yi.
But halfway through, he was surrounded by a group of people dressed in tatters......
