Later, Xu Ming told Li Ruoxing that when she was in the treatment center, Ding Yuheng always came to see her, but he didn't dare to enter the door, just looked at it from afar, asked Xu Ming about her situation and left.

"Actually, he has liked you since he was a child, but he is even more cowardly than Fang Chenyi. ”

Li Ruoxing suddenly understood why Ding Yuheng and Fang Chenyi always staggered the time to see her - Ding Yuheng was avoiding Fang Chenyi. Li Ruoxing just sighed when he heard it: "I've always been a good friend of him." ”

Xu Ming looked at Li Ruoxing, who didn't have much reaction to Ding Yuheng, and smiled brightly at Fang Chen, and his heart was full of sighs and pity: "Since ancient times, bamboo horses can't withstand the sky, and licking dogs and licking dogs is nothing in the end!"

As the plague receded in the spring, the imperial physicians developed a cure for the plague, and fewer and fewer patients were in the treatment centers.

Finally, on a morning with the pleasant sound of birdsong, Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan said goodbye to Ouyang Nanshan and Fang Chenyi and left Taishan County.

Before leaving, Chen Yi came to see them off, Fang Chen Yi wanted to keep them for a few more days, because after a day or two the plague was completely eliminated, Father Li would come back, and they would organize a wedding at that time, and he wanted to invite them to his wedding with Li Ruoxing. Xu Ming thought of Ding Yuheng inexplicably, and suddenly felt so distressed that he even wanted to laugh.

Xu Ming asked Fang Chenyi: "Will you invite Ding Yuheng for your wedding?" Fang Chenyi was a little stunned, he replied stunned: "Yes, he is still half of my eldest brother!" Xu Ming didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder and said something that he didn't understand like "It's a wolf extermination", and waved goodbye to him.

Dajingguo, which has resisted the pandemic, is a little sluggish, but it still shows strong vitality and prosperity. The trees beside the official road have withstood the cold of winter and pulled out new shoots one after another, and a few small flowers on the bare land swayed in the wind, exuding a faint fragrance of flowers. The small towns and villages along the route are alive and well in the sun, like teenagers and twenties growing up vigorously.

Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan walked all the way to the boundary of Zhuo County.

"Xinghua Village?" Xu Ming looked at the signboard next to an inconspicuous wine stall outside an inconspicuous town, and suddenly on a whim, he pulled Guan Chunuan and walked in. The liquor shop was very small, with only four tables, one of which was also used as a counter, and the owner of the liquor stall slept on the table.

Although it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, just after the epidemic has passed, and it has just entered spring, the wine stall looks extremely deserted, and only a guest in a black robe is silently drinking alone. The owner of the wine stall realized that someone had come in, and stood up with his sleepy eyes rubbed: "Hello, guest officer, what kind of wine do you want to drink?"

Xu Ming asked: "Your wine stall is called Xinghua Village, what does it mean?" The boss was a middle-aged man with a public face, he smiled and said: "The village where I live is called Xinghua Village, and the apricot blossom wine in our village is so delicious, why don't I give the guest officer a pot to drive away the cold?" Xu Ming also smiled: "If you want it, let's boil a pot!"

After a while, the man came over with a jug of wine and a small saucer. "Guest, your apricot blossom wine, this plate of peanuts is for you. No one has been here for a long time, and the last time I came was a monk with a cat, and I also asked for a pot of apricot blossom wine!"

Xu Ming poured himself a glass of wine and was about to drink it, but suddenly put down the wine glass. The man suddenly panicked: "Guest officer, but what is the dissatisfaction?" Xu Ming shook his head: "Let me ask you, what is the color of the monk's cat's eyes?" The man raised his head and thought for a long time, and when Xu Ming was waiting with anticipation, the black-robed drinker on the side suddenly spoke: "Blue." ”

"Yes, yes, blue!" the man suddenly patted his head, "Brother Gao was there that day, and when the monk left, I told Brother Gao that the cat's eyes were beautiful!"

"That's a shaman. The black-robed man turned his back to Xu Ming and said, Xu Ming knew it in his heart, and arched his hand towards the man's back: "Thank you." The black-robed man drank to himself and ignored them.

"Brother Gao is like this, drinking and drinking, if the guest officer has any questions, ask me. The man saw that Brother Gao didn't pay attention to Xu Ming, and hurriedly came out to play a round. Xu Ming didn't care much either, and continued to ask, "When did that witch shaman come?"

"I came a year ago, the day before the lockdown of Beijing. The man thought for a moment, "I still remember it quite clearly, because he was my last guest that day, and the city was locked down the next day." ”

"Where did he go after he left?"

"I went north, maybe I went to the capital, I don't know what I'm going to do. ”

"Okay, thank you!" Xu Ming thanked him and drank again, and when he drank again, the wine was already cold, and all the rest of the pot was secretly drunk by Guan Chunuan, and he didn't even leave peanuts for Xu Ming.

Xu Ming asked for another pot of apricot blossom wine and drank it in front of Guan Chunuan. Although the wine was very hot, Xu Ming still raised his head, because if he lowered his head, the crown and tears would fall together.

Because a storyteller in Qingyun Town was too interesting to comment, Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan were unable to enter Shangjing before nightfall.

"Don't let you listen to the book in the future, you want to listen, I'll say that the story is harmful, you see that we can only sleep out today again. ”

"It's not that you have to watch it for so long!" Guan Chunuan felt that he was so aggrieved, it was obvious that Xu Ming wanted to listen to the commentary, and he was only an accomplice, but when it came to sin, it was his "sin" that was the greatest.

"Okay, I don't blame you, it's my fault. Xu Ming looked at Guan Chunuan, who looked aggrieved, and comforted helplessly, although he knew that Guan Chunuan was pretending, but he still couldn't see the girl being wronged.

"That's pretty much it. Guan Chunuan's switch between laughing and crying was already perfect, and he smiled helplessly when he looked at the little girl who was bouncing around.

"Why don't we go to Frost Mountain and have a look!" Guan Chunuan suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Ming, the bright moonlight sprinkled on Guan Chunuan's body, very beautiful. But in Xu Ming's opinion, Guan Chunuan at this time is more like a little witch with a cute appearance.

Xu Ming stroked his forehead helplessly: "Grandma, why are you going to Frost Mountain at night, isn't it good for us to find a place to rest?" Moreover, Frost Mountain is a royal garden, and there are soldiers stationed at the bottom of the mountain, so we can't get in." ”

Guan Chunuan snorted: "What are you afraid of when there are soldiers stationed, just a trick." When I was in the Ziyang Sect, I heard that the scenery of Frost Mountain is picturesque, if you come to Beijing and don't go to Frost Mountain, you will come in vain!"

"Where did you hear about all this nonsense?" Guan Chunuan stretched out his right hand with a booklet in his hand. Xu Ming picked up the booklet and looked at it by the moonlight: "Dajing Travel Handbook (22nd Revised Complete Edition)".

"I don't feel like there's anything special!" Guan Chunuan walked on the mountain road and gradually became less interested. Xu Ming was already too sleepy to speak, and followed the little ancestor in front of him with half-closed eyes.

After walking for a while, Guan Chunuan suddenly stopped, and Xu Ming walked forward in a blur, crashing into Guan Chunuan's junior. "it...... Hmm Xu Ming was just halfway through scolding, when he was suddenly hooked by Guan Chunuan and covered his mouth. "Don't make a sound, there's movement ahead!" Guan Chunuan's mouth was in his ear, and the moist breath exhaled from her mouth hit Xu Ming's ear, comfortable and sweet, Xu Ming's ear was itching, and he woke up in an instant. He swallowed and nodded.

Guan Chunuan blushed and let go of Xu Ming's neck, and the two of them looked forward together. In the woods in front of him was a black figure carrying a lantern, which looked extremely abrupt in the dark night of Frost Mountain. The man just stood there, motionless. Through the faint light of the lantern, Xu Ming saw a stone slab erected in front of the man, and behind the stone slab was a black shadow that rose high. "This is a grave!" Xu Ming whispered in Guan Chunuan's ear. Guan Chunuan's ears also turned red, and he whispered back with some embarrassment: "How do I know." ”

"Click. The crisp sound of a tree branch being trampled off sounded not far from them. "There are others!" Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan were also startled, and they both held their breath and didn't dare to make a sound. "Who is it?" the man turned, his right hand already on the hilt of the knife at his waist.

"This voice is the black-robed man in that inn!" Xu Ming reacted instantly.

"Gao Ning, now I have to call Dongfang Ning, the youngest brother of the current saint, Lord Ning. A figure came out of the woods not far from them, he was limping, but his steps were very firm, "I've been looking for you for a long time. ”

By the light of the lantern, Gao Ning could see the man's face clearly. "Big brother!" Gao Ning threw down the lantern and hugged the figure fiercely. The man smiled, and his voice was full of relief and joy: "How old are you and still like a child." ”

"In front of my eldest brother, I will always be the little boy who follows you!" Gao Ning is a head taller than his eldest brother, and the picture of two men hugging each other like this is a bit warm and a little weird.

"Big brother, it's a little cold outside, go to my Zhuangzi and say it!" Gao Ning picked up the lantern and was about to leave with his eldest brother, when the eldest brother suddenly stopped, and he moved his nose and sniffed twice. "What's wrong?" "You have a human smell here!"

", you belong to a dog, your nose is so smart?" Xu Ming looked at the eldest brother who was looking at him here with burning eyes, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

King Ning's villa in Frost Mountain has just been completed, it is a little empty and deserted, and you can still smell the fragrance of wood.

"I'm sorry to bother you, it's so late. Xu Ming said apologetically to Lord Ning. King Ning waved his hand: "It's a trivial matter, you are the younger brother of the crown prince's side concubine, and we are also a family, so there is no need to say such outward words." King Ning seemed to be very happy and introduced his eldest brother to Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan: "This is my eldest brother, Jiang Cheng." ”

Jiang Cheng has a delicate face, his eyes are like stars, his eyebrows are like sharp swords, and his long hair is a little silvery, hanging behind his back, and he looks very fairy. On the other hand, Prince Ning looks very ordinary, his face is bronzed, his hair is short, he is tall and thin, which makes Xu Ming wonder if Emperor Xian's genes are mutated, Emperor Hongzhi and his princes are outrageously handsome, why is his youngest son Ning Wangye like he was picked up from outside? Xu Ming even thinks that Jiang Cheng is the blood of the royal family, and all this is a bizarre story.

The story is actually quite simple, when Emperor Xian died, there was a traitor who colluded with the enemy country to take the opportunity to make trouble, Ning Wangye was still in infancy, his nurse fled with him, and was later caught up by the rebels, and the nurse left Ning Wangye in a stable outside the city, but he was killed. Later, Emperor Hongzhi put down the rebellion, and went to King Ning again but did not find it. It wasn't until last year when Emperor Hongzhi went down to Jiangnan that he found it.

"Other emperors go to Jiangnan to harvest love, why is Hongzhi looking for relatives?" Xu Ming was speechless for this family, "And this virtuous emperor is too old to be strong, he is about to burp and still give birth!" Xu Ming looked at King Ning again, and figured it out, and wanted to understand why Prince Ning and the royal appearance were a little incompatible.

And Ning Wangye's life is still passable, he was adopted by a family with a high surname, and the family is also very wealthy, but the head of the family is very old and has no sons. He decided that it was a gift from heaven to his son, and he raised him as his own son. Ning Wangye got acquainted with Jiang Cheng and Kuang Yu when he was a child, and the three of them went to the town to listen to the storytelling, and heard the stories of the 108 heroes in Wudang Mountain who were like brothers, and they were so moved that the three of them immediately bowed to the ground.

Later, the three of them went to Meishan to explore together, and strayed into a cave of immortals, and the immortals had soared, leaving a few exercises and mental methods, and the three of them began to practice together.

Although Lord Ning is not good-looking, his talent is indeed very high, after all, he is the bloodline of the royal family, and he quickly built a foundation and became the highest cultivation among the three. Jiang Cheng's talent is also unexpectedly good, but the second Kuang Yu has no talent, and the gap with them is getting bigger and bigger. But they are still good brothers.

Later, during an expedition to a secret realm, the three of them accidentally touched the mechanism, and only Gao Ning, who had cultivated the flying technique in the Jiedan realm, could get out, but he could only save one person. In the end, he saved Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Cheng's leg was also lame at that time. After getting out of trouble, Jiang Cheng asked him why he didn't just Kuang Yu, and said that he would never cultivate again.

Later, Gao Ning moved his family to Jiangnan, and he completely cut off contact with Jiang Cheng. Gao Ning's return to Zhuojun is already as the prince of Ning, and he can't be called Gao Ning, he is now called Dongfang Ning. Prince Ning did not ask for a fief, nor did he ask for palace beauties, and later Emperor Hongzhi built a villa for him in Shuangshan.

Ning Wang Ye returned to the secret realm where Kuang Yu was killed, this secret realm no longer has any difficulty and danger for him who is now in the Tribulation Realm, he found Kuang Yu's bones, and found a quiet place in the Frost Mountain for him to be buried in the ground. He went to the village where he was a child to find Jiang Cheng, that village is no longer there, and now there is only a small village called "Xinghua Village" in that place, and everyone in the village will make a kind of wine called "Xinghua Village".

"That's the wine we drank when we worshipped. ”
