"Squeak squeak...... Squeak...... "The noise of ping-pong in the room, accompanied by the annoying squeak, woke Hu Man'er from his sleep, Hu Man'er leaned up in annoyance, and before his eyes opened, he reached out to touch the brand-new oil lamp on the desk next to him.

Pick it up, throw it out. Accompanied by the sound of oil lamps falling to the ground. He was still babbling about it.

"Dead monkey, if you disturb my dreams again, believe it or not, grandpa, I will draw my sword and castrate you, a monkey. ”

After saying that, he fell down again and curled up, wanting to continue the sweet dream just now.

Unbeknownst to him, there was a pair of white and tender Qianqianyu hands, which quickly pinched Hu Man'er's ears and twisted suddenly. Then came Wanqing's brass bell-like laughter.

"Lazy worm, Dengzi. What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly, but I have the ability to tell my aunt and grandmother again. ”

"Hey...... Hurt...... Hurt. Let go, I was wrong...... Auntie, I was wrong, am I wrong?"

When Hu Man'er learned that it was Wanqing who came here, the anger full of complaints and fire-breathing just now disappeared in an instant. Besides, his ears were still pinched in other people's hands, so he had to sit up lazily, reach out and rub his sleepy eyes, so that he could see the things in front of him clearly.

In front of the couch, Wanqing tilted her head and looked at herself with a smile in her eyes, still holding the hateful money in her arms.

Besides, the money has been missing all day since it went up the mountain. It's just that every morning I will sneak back to Hu Man'er's room to toss, and I have been repeating this for three years, and it seems to be tireless. Occasionally, he would bring some unknown wild fruits for Hu Man'er to eat. It is also strange to say that after a long time, I often eat the fruit brought by this monkey, and I have a vague sense of energy, as if I have inexhaustible strength. Even if you are exhausted after finishing your schoolwork, you can eat a fruit and take a short rest to be alive again.

At first, Hu Man'er was still a little stunned, worried that it would be poisonous, or that this stubborn monkey didn't know which senior brother had stolen the spirit fruit. But after a long time, I got used to it, and anyway, no senior brother has come to the door to hold him accountable.

Of course, the mount that came to the money was still the blue-faced and fanged black boar. It's just that after a few years, it seems that this guy's body has become much stronger again, and the two white fangs sticking out of his mouth look even more terrifying. I don't know how Lai Qian tamed this fierce god. Obviously, it seems that he is far from being fierce, but he is willing to accept the drive of this monkey. and reduced to mounts. You know, the ferocity of wild boars is comparable to that of a large insect in the mountains.

"It seems that this monkey still has some tricks. This does not really fulfill the old saying, there is no tiger and monkey in the mountains to call the king. Hu Man'er muttered in her heart.

And the money has gained a lot of weight in a few years. Now Wanqing is obviously a little difficult to hold it. A few white velvets on the face are more distinct, really like a pair of eyes, about to open.

However, at this time, Lai Qian, who was nesting in Wanqing's arms, was grinning at Hu Man'er and grimacing. It's a lot of fun.

Hu Man'er glared at the money viciously, and then looked at Wanqing. Seeing Wanqing tilting her head and looking at herself with a smile, she couldn't help but feel a little fluttery, and then she looked down at herself as if she remembered something. It turned out that he was still naked all along.

The cultivation of the past few years has made the water chestnut of Hu Man'er's body more and more distinct. Although it is not fair, its muscles are firm and strong.

Hu Man'er, who had just reacted, picked up the blanket next to him in a panic and draped it on his body. His face was flushed. He opened his mouth with a slurred voice.

"Qing'er...... You turn around, I haven't ...... yet I haven't changed my clothes yet. ”

Wanqing also felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, turned around, pretended to be slightly angry, and then spat fiercely.

"I'm talking like this girl wants to see you. Hmph, color embryo. Show it to me, I won't even see it. Then he covered his face and walked out quickly.

"Where am I, it's obviously you ......" Before Hu Man'er could explain clearly, Wanqing had already run out of the door. Standing outside the door, he said to Hu Man'er.

"Hurry up, you're going down the mountain today, you forgot? Among the lazy, you are also outstanding. Hmph......"

When Hu Man'er heard this, he remembered that he was going to leave for the mountain from today to practice, and slapped his forehead violently, annoyed that his memory was too poor, and he could forget such an important matter. Hurriedly put on his robe and packed his bags.

After a while, Wanqing pushed the door in with a basin of water. Say as you go.

"Slow down, there's still some hour to go. It's not too late to wash your face and eat something. ”

Hu Man'er stopped what he was doing when he saw Wanqing come in, and grinned. Nodding in response, yes. Stretched out his hand and took the iron basin in Wanqing's hand, put it on the stone platform, bent down and picked up the water in the basin and washed it.

Wanqing packed some clothes for him and made them soft in case he needed them on the road.

After Hu Man'er finished washing, Wanqing took his hand and sat down at the table, reached out and took out her delicate horn comb from her arms, and began to straighten Hu Man'er's long hair.

Silent for a while, each other quietly enjoying the silence of the moment. Unconsciously, a crystal tear fell on the top of Hu Man'er's head.

Hu Man'er turned her head suddenly, but saw that Wanqing's eyes were already full of tears. Where did Hu Man'er experience this tenderness. Suddenly panicked, and hurriedly stood up and held Wanqing's hands that were still holding the comb. Opening.

"Okay Qing'er, why are you still crying...... Don't you ...... Don't cry. I don't know what to do when you cry. Did I say the wrong thing and annoy you? It's all my fault, don't cry. ”

While speaking, he didn't forget to reach out and wipe away the undried tears on Wanqing's face.

Wanqing raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her who was thinking about her, and now she was about to leave for a short time, and her heart was naturally full of reluctance. Just looking at him like this, tears couldn't stop falling.

"In the past three years, we have been getting along day and night, your daily food, clothing, housing and transportation are all in charge of me, and now you have to travel far away, so how can I rest assured, who will sew and cook for you when you go out, and whether you can find someone to stay on a rainy day. What if I'm hungry and frozen......"

Wanqing pear blossom confided in her heart like rain, and the more she advised, the tighter her heart became.

Hu Man'er stared at this pitiful and lovely man, and his heart was very warm, except for his Orion father since he was a child, who had ever treated him like this. At the moment, he pulled Wanqing into his arms and was relieved.

"Okay, I'm not a child anymore, I can take care of myself. Have you forgotten? I lived alone before I met you, and I wasn't hungry and freezing. Besides, it's not me who went down the mountain alone, isn't there Zuo Liangqing and them. How about I promise you that I will take good care of myself and that I will give you back an intact brute?"

Hearing Hu Man'er comfort herself so much, Wanqing's heart improved slightly. In addition, Wen is in the arms of his sweetheart at this moment, and he will unconsciously feel a little safe. But he seemed to remember something and continued to admonish.

"Barbarian, there is one thing you must promise me. ”

"What's the matter?" said Hu Man'er, a little puzzled.

"Don't force the matter of finding the murderer, this matter is not urgent. Don't let the demons of your heart disturb your Dao heart. You must remember that you can't come nonsense. ”

When Hu Man'er heard this, a trace of anger flashed on his face. It then returned to normal. He nodded solemnly and replied.

"Well, I promise you. ”

The feeling of warmth is always short-lived in each other's senses.

After everything was cleaned up, Hu Man'er ate a little more, and then went to the main hall with Qing'er. And the money sneaked away at the moment when the two of them were warm just now, and they didn't know where to go.

Above the main hall, a lot of people gathered one after another. Wu Xiuyuan sat in the main seat seriously. Next to him is Wu Daozi. On either side below are the elders seated in the audience.

When Wanqing appeared at the door of the main hall with Hu Man'er's arm, everyone's eyes fell on the pair of golden boys and girls. But most of the elders have some indescribable complexities.

Wu Xiuyuan saw Hu Man'er so far, coughed lightly, glared at Wanqing secretly, and said embarrassedly.

"The brute is here, come in quickly, you're the only one left. ”

Hu Man'er scratched her head apologetically. Take a step forward and arch your hand.

"Disciple Hu Man'er greets the Master, Master, and all the senior brothers. The disciple is late, it really shouldn't be, and please watch the Lord to punish him. ”

"It's okay...... Offer incense to the ancestors. Wu Xiuyuan waved his hand, signaling that Hu Man'er did not need to blame himself.

After that, Hu Man'er stepped into the hall and walked to the front of the Sanqing statue. Pick up three sticks of sandalwood and light them with the crowd. Several people knelt side by side. Pinch the incense with both hands and raise it to the eyebrows. With the melodious sound of the bell in the distance, the five people slowly bowed down.

Listen to the buzzing of the bell. At this moment, Hu Man'er's heart was as calm as a pool of clear water, without the slightest ripple.

The descent ceremony is not cumbersome, it is nothing more than the careful advice of the masters. Some things to keep in mind with going down the mountain.

At this moment, Hu Man'er was led aside by Wu Daozi. His only disciple was about to go down the mountain, and he was naturally a little worried. After all, after three years of getting along day and night, Wu Daozi also took good care of this disciple, and he also taught his own skills, and he did not hide any selfishness.

After telling him some daily matters, Wu Daozi took out a three-foot wooden box and handed it to Hu Man'er. Said leisurely.

"Today is also the day when your kid becomes a teacher, and the old man has taught you everything he has learned in his life. On weekdays, you still have to practice diligently, and don't be lazy. After going down the mountain, do more good deeds and do chivalrous deeds. Now that you are a little successful, you should be fine in the world. This blue water sword, in the hands of the old man, has killed countless demons, but has never killed a good person, I hope you don't want to insult the reputation of the teacher. ”

Hu Man'er took the wooden box handed by Wu Daozi and opened it gently. A trace of chilling sword intent suddenly burst out of the wooden box. Coming straight to Hu Man'er's front door, Hu Man'er is naturally not the hairy boy he was back then, but he reacted in an instant, slightly sideways his head to avoid this sword qi, but he was still cut off a strand of hair. Hu Man'er didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly closed the sword box again. Only then did he let out a long breath. Raise your eyes and look at your master.

Wu Daozi was not surprised to see this situation, and smiled slightly. Stretched out his hand and patted Hu Man'er's shoulder and said.

"Man has a soul, and a sword has a soul. This clear water has existed for thousands of years and has long had its own spirituality. The sword has been given to you by the teacher, and whether you can surrender it or not depends on your own ability. For the teacher, I advise you, no matter how uncertain you are, don't open the box. so as not to hurt yourself. He said he was going to turn around and left.

Hu Man'er's eyes widened when he heard this. It took a while to come to his senses. I was about to say something, but when I saw that the master had already gone away, I had to give up. I was filled with emotion. Master is really good to him, although he is strict on weekdays, but only in the matter of cultivation. Looking at the back of the master at this moment, a trace of respect arises spontaneously.

After noon, a few white clouds occasionally drifted in the sky overhead.

On the stone steps leading to the bottom of the mountain, the figures of several people began to walk slowly down.

Under the pines and cypresses on the side of the peak, Wanqing looked at Hu Man'er's departing back and was already in tears. The mountain breeze swayed her plain skirt slightly, and drops of crystal sparkled on the earth. Hu Man'er turned around as if she was aware and looked at the graceful figure. It seems that the freeze frame of this moment, although it is silent, is better than a thousand words.

Then he turned around, raised his arms, and swayed heavily. Leave slowly.

When the group reached the mountainside, suddenly there was a rustling sound in the bushes next to them. Several people turned their heads vigilantly to look at the mountains and forests on the side. There was a moment of silence, and suddenly a fierce black boar sprang out of the bushes. glared at a few people viciously, and there was no doubt that there was money on the pig's back.

When several people saw that it was these two beasts who came here, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and all shook their heads with wry smiles. Everyone in the sect knows Hu Man'er, and naturally they also know the special monkey beside Hu Man'er.

Hu Man'er was slightly embarrassed, took a step forward and bent down to pick up a stone to make a gesture to hit this reckless monkey, who knew that the monkey jumped off the pig's back three or two steps and ran to Hu Man'er's front and climbed on Hu Man'er's shoulder. He waved his hand at his mount, signaling that it could go. Strange to say, this wild boar was so tight that it turned its head and ran wildly, and disappeared into the dense mountain forest in just a moment.

Hu Man'er didn't intend to bring money to accompany him, there may be some danger in going down the mountain this time, Hu Man'er doesn't want anyone he cares about to follow him into danger, but now it seems that he can't get rid of this monkey.

A little tangled. Hu Man'er was relieved and let this guy play with the wooden box he was carrying behind him on his shoulder.
