The old Daqi, that is, the current Qizhou, has a fate that is not much different from the former Jiangnan, and finally fell into a continent in Shengchang.

In the middle of an old forest deep in the mountains, there is a wooden house and a small vegetable garden with a small area, which was originally full of trees, but then a young man came out of nowhere to uproot dozens of trees in a radius, and then built the current log cabin, and the vacant land was planted with all kinds of vegetables.

There is a trickling stream not far from the small vegetable garden, and it is very convenient for young people to carry water to irrigate the farmland, and there are many small wild birds in the mountains and forests, and occasionally they can set a trap or something to improve their food.

In the first few days (rì), there was a heavy rain, and the wooden house was a little leaking, so the young people used some wet mud mixed with hay to cover a thick layer on the roof, and then used a large number of banana leaves to attach to the mud and grass, forming a green roof, those plantain leaves would not wither, and the young people used good fairy nectar to drip on it.

After mending the roof, the young man picked up a hoe and began to weed the vegetable garden again, and in the hot summer (rì), the young man wore a hat and a thin vest, and the sweat (shēn) was shiny.

After the weeds were removed, the young man wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then took the flat pole to the stream to fetch water, the weather was dry (rè), the vegetable garden had to be watered frequently, and after picking up water back and forth more than a dozen times, the young man put down the bucket and sat in the vegetable garden to rest for a while.

He picks a ripe cucumber and chews it in his mouth without washing it, and occasionally sparrows rise and fall, chirping.

The young man was eating cool cucumbers and looking at the colorful and dense vegetable garden in front of him, and his heart (qíng) was very comfortable, and it was the most comfortable part of his life in the past few months.

"How did you find here, sir?" the young man ate the last bite of the cucumber, then threw it away, turning his head to look at the shadow behind him.

Yang Ziyang said with a smile: "I happened to pass by, and I have already walked a long way to leave the Yang family this time. ”

Li Xiang, who used to be an emperor but now lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, stood up (shēn) and respectfully bowed, "I haven't seen Mr. for a long time, how is Mr. lately?"

Yang Ziyang nodded and smiled: "This kind of (rì) is comfortable." ”

Li Xiang took off the hat, revealing a handsome face, the temperament of the young man has changed a lot, and now there is no longer that imperial atmosphere, but like a country prime, simple and unpretentious, "Yes, it seems that it is good to be alive now." Where did you go on this trip, sir?"

Yang Ziyang sighed slightly, at this moment he felt that the former prince Li Xiang had really grown up, maybe, this was the most suitable life for him, "I walked half a big way and looked around." ”

The Yang family moved from Daqi to Nanzhou, and Yang Ziyang came back from Nanzhou to Daqi to take a look at the mountains and rivers here.

Li Xiang was a little sad, "I heard that Daqi has been renamed Qizhou." ”

Yang Ziyang did not speak.

Li Xiang said again: "Sir, don't tell me about my business here. ”

Yang Ziyang nodded.

(rì) light is poisonous and spicy, speechless for a while.

After a while, Yang Ziyang suddenly said, "I'm sorry for you." ”

Li Xiang grinned, "I'm good now, and if Mr. Hou has time, I will often come here to sit." ”

The young man's smile was a little sad.

Yang Ziyang bowed slightly, "When you want to go to the rivers and lakes, or encounter any difficulties, the door of the Yang family is open for Your Majesty at any time." ”

This seems to be the first time in the old man's life to bow, even the former Emperor Li Huayuan has never received a bow from the old man.

When Li Xiang heard the word "Your Majesty", his body stiffened slightly, and he couldn't help nodding.

Then hurriedly went to support Yang Ziyang, who was still bending over.

This is since the death of his mother, young people have heard the most sincere and warm words, when the country was destroyed, Li Xiang did not be a prisoner of that order, did not go to Shengchang to seek that official position, nor did he take away a penny, (shēn) Concubine Bian had no one to continue with him, and they went away, but the imperial concubine did not want to endure hardship, and had chastity, so she chose to commit suicide by hanging the beam to relieve her life......

In fact, it doesn't matter, the young man doesn't care, he has no children in this life, so he really is a lonely one (shēn).

The young man finally came to this deep mountain and old forest, and lived a dull (rì) life, and the world was endless.

......

......

More than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and during this period, Hua Wenxiang and his party have not left, and have been living in Xuanyun Temple.

There are two reasons why their group stays here, one is to wait like a fall, and the other is to break the mirror.

Ruluo has not come out since following the abbot Xuanyun into the Xuanwu (jìn) land, at first the old abbot only said that he would come out after entering a few (rì), but now he has lived in it for a long time, although the Zu Ming brothers are worried, but there is nothing they can do, the four of them cannot enter the gate, but since the old abbot is on the side of Ruluo (shēn), there should be no problem.

Lao Huang did not leave as agreed, but delayed his departure, and when the three of them broke through a realm, he would leave.

Now that the three of them have broken the mirror, Lao Huang said that he would really leave after the New Year, and Hua Wenxiang said that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was really over the New Year, so Lao Huang You have to leave after the fifteenth, and several people and a cat echoed one after another.

Lao Huang had no choice but to take these clever little ghosts, so he agreed to come down, and he stayed here for such a long time, and it was not bad for a few days.

Hua Wenxiang and Luo Bei are now in the Ying Orange Realm, and Tu Yue Lian Ji (shēn) is in the Xuanhuang Realm, and the three of them are all fast in breaking the mirror, but Hua Wenxiang and Luo Bei will next face the first big threshold of blood and soul qi, the Wulu Realm.

Wulu Realm and Danqing Realm are the two major thresholds on the way to cultivation, and they are the most difficult to break, and many people often want to stagnate in these two realms for a lifetime.

In the past six months, the three of them have been meditating under the Bodhi tree every (rì), and occasionally turning over the scriptures sent by Zu Ming, which can also be regarded as a kind of mental cultivation.

Lao Huang poured his money into each other and taught everything that could be taught, Tu Yuelian's dagger was made into a spiritual weapon by Lao Huang, and Luo Bei's long sword Ji Yue was also tempered into a magic weapon by Lao Huang, and the weapons of the two were each upgraded to a level, but Luo Bei could not perfectly control the magic weapon Ji Yue for the time being.

Hua Wenxiang has been familiar with the power fist in half a year, and now it is easy to use.

The three people often learn from each other, and occasionally the monks in the temple will also point them out, and they have benefited a lot, and the group is now completely familiar with every corner of the Xuanyun Temple, and they also know almost all the monks in the temple.

It's been a very fulfilling year.

Ruluo didn't have time to tell Hua Wenxiang and his party that he wanted to join their team, he didn't come out since he entered the Xuanwu (jìn) land, it was Master Zu Ming who helped him say it, Hua Wenxiang and a few people learned the news and said that they would leave Xuanyun Temple together as if they were out of the pass, but this wait was more than half a year, which also made Zu Ming have a better impression of Hua Wenxiang and his party, and Ping (rì) didn't take care of them.

Lao Huang is really leaving this time, he wants to go to Xichuan to have a look, and by the way, he will inquire about the whereabouts of Tianvanilla.

In short, the old man had no reason to stay this time.

明 (rì) is the night of Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve, and the lights on this side of Xuanyun Mountain are colorful, and it is full of red and fire.

There are rich families here, and every house and mansion is pasted with couplets and door gods, and it is more than seeing who sticks it and whose house is good-looking.

Today (rì) is the last day before the New Year, after which the major stores will be closed (rì) to celebrate the New Year.

That night, the old abbot walked out of Xuanwu (jìn) with Ruluo, and the two of them breathed the fresh air outside, accompanied by the moonlight and looked down at the prosperous scenery under the mountain, and suddenly felt the strong flavor of the New Year, which warmed people's hearts.

The young monk has broken through the mirror to the battle blue.

Xuanyun Temple also posted a lot of couplets to hang money, in the huge temple, a lot of new lights have been added, much brighter than before, the little monks are often the happiest at this time, and they don't have to work, and they can also receive dozens of copper coins.

On the day before the Chinese New Year's Eve, some of the big monks in the temple will go down the mountain to buy things, and the little monks only need to hand them the list of things they want to buy and the copper money they spend, and the big monks go out in the morning and then return at night, everyone carries a bag of things with food and play, and then the big monks hand over the things to the little monks one by one.

Hua Wenxiang and his entourage in order to thank Xuanyun Temple for the (rè) (qíng) hospitality in the past six months, donated five hundred taels of incense money to help the temple to run a porridge shop, almost every corner of Nanzhou has a porridge shop hosted by Xuanyun Temple, this big force is well-known in the rivers and lakes for being kind and charitable.

Today (rì) the last time the major streets came and went, Hua Wenxiang they bought a lot of various snacks on Qiuzi Street to invite the monks in the temple to eat, although the people in the huge temple are not really family, but they also show their happiness.

The monks of Xuanyun Temple all liked their group very much, and they were all happy that Ruluo could meet such a group of people.

If he saw Hua Wenxiang and them on the night of the pass, he learned the reason why they didn't leave, and he was almost moved to tears, he thought that he hadn't appeared in the past six months, and Hua Wenxiang had left early, and he was still very sorry for this, worried that he would not have a chance to see each other in the future, who knew that people had been waiting for themselves in Xuanyun Temple for half a year...... This is also thanks to the master, and his old man told Xiaohua for him.

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, hundreds of monks of Xuanyun Temple had a meal together, and none of them were absent.

Let's keep the New Year together.

The meals were all vegetarian and there was no wine, but Lao Huang and Luo Bei didn't feel anything, they had already drunk very happily at the bottom of the mountain before.

The sound of firecrackers under the mountain celebrates the New Year, and every household hangs red lanterns and eats the reunion Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

On the second and third days of the Lunar New Year, there are already large and small shops open under the mountain, and on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, almost all the shops are officially opened, the fat man Dong Yaowu has not left this year, he occasionally comes to Xuanyun Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and then find Hua Wenxiang and a few of them will chat for a few words before going down the mountain and leaving.

Today (rì), Dong Yaowu set up a table in his own restaurant and invited them to eat here, the latter's (shēn) portion, Hua Wenxiang they still don't know, not only that, but more and more incomprehensible, this fat man is obviously very shrewd, but he is generous, this meal is enough for him to sell several Loucang jade.

As for whenever Dong Yaowu was asked which household (shēn), the young fat man always dealt with it perfunctorily and never answered seriously.

Ruluo also followed, and the group talked and laughed with Dong Yaowu, who said that he would leave after two (rì) and do some business elsewhere, and the two sides agreed that if there were any difficulties in the future, even if they opened their mouths, they could be regarded as making friends completely.

On the tenth day of the first month, Ruluo followed Hua Wenxiang and his party to leave the temple, the young monk was crying when he left, the old abbot Xuanyun personally went out of the temple to see off, Master Zu Ming looked at the apprentice with moist eyes and didn't say anything angry, so he told (rì) to be careful, don't worry about the temple, Chang Nian Changjun A few little monks in the same room are crying, so that Uncle Ruluo will return to the temple earlier.

Many monks sent each other with a thousand words, and they exchanged pleasantries for two hours.

And they went down the mountain and went north.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there was a heavy snowfall all over the world, and the snow was like a goose feather, covering the whole world with a thick silver coat.

Lao Huang put on the hat again, but this time he did not wear a robe, in the more than a dozen (rì) years later, he told the young people in front of him a lot of old things, how he was young and how he was vigorous, and there were those must-go places when he traveled to the mountains and rivers in the future, and he ferried the interesting things he encountered in the past 30 years......

The old man's life is very wonderful but very regretful, regretting that he has lost a lot of the wrong things he has done.

The snow was still falling, and at a fork in the mountains, the old man had to be separated from the young people, and there was always a time of parting in life, and this parting might be for the next better encounter.

The old man with the goatee exhaled a cold breath, "Just send it here, you've got enough of a detour." ”

The four of them nodded in unison, but they didn't say much.

Lao Huang, who wore a hat, walked away on the snow, and the footprints on the snow were soon filled with snowflakes.

"Lao Huang, wait for you to go back to the forest together!" Hua Wenxiang finally couldn't help but shout.

The old man didn't look back, but he knew that the group was watching him go away, so he raised a hand, and then put it down again, which was a farewell.

In the new year, there are new rivers and lakes, but there is no longer the company of the elderly.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, the whole world is snowing heavily, in this cold and cold night, thousands of households are lit up, like the galaxy in the world, bright as day.
