After flying for about a stick of incense, night had completely fallen.

At this time, the moonlight was dim, and the night sky was sparsely scattered with stars, brighter than on the ground. Because the light was dim, the scenery below was no longer unobstructed, and a few people saw the direction, and flew into the ancient forest on the side, the flight altitude decreased, and suddenly the surroundings suddenly quieted down, and there was no cold wind in the ears, a fresh breath of flowers and trees, rushing to the nose, from time to time you can still hear a few nightingales, and even the breathing of beasts behind the grass.

Chu Qing smiled, pulling Feng Shuzhu's arm, his body was like electricity, in this ancient forest, among countless huge ancient trees, shuttling and flying, in a trance it was childhood again, lakes, mountains and meadows, there were joyful and happy laughter, echoing away.

Silently, Feng Shuzhu turned his head, and what greeted him was a pair of beautiful and cold eyes, reflecting his smile. At this moment, the woman is like the most cold and gorgeous fairy in the world, in the ancient woods, among the countless branches and leaves, with a vaguely implicit inner world, flying out of the most beautiful dance.

Hopefully, this time, just like that, will never end......

Suddenly, a strong, burnt smell came to his face, and there was even smoky smoke and dust in the air, which was everywhere, and the little fat bear bag squatting on Chu Qing's back couldn't help coughing, breaking the tranquility of Fang Cai's moment, and on the ground below, there were gradually many broken branches and leaves, and fallen trees.

A sense of foreboding filled everyone's heart.

Finally, the tragic appearance that I didn't want to accept appeared in front of my eyes, with the small tea stall on the side of the official road as the center, forming a tragic fire, the giant tree hugged by several people was cut off at the waist, the ancient tree with lush branches was scorched, and even the tongue of fire that was not extinguished burned along the thick branches, and on the scorched ground, there were several monks in gray robes, motionless, as if they had lost their lives, and there were all kinds of footprints around, among which it was quite surprising that there were several traces of beast claws the size of a millstone, and the small tea stall had already been blown apart and disappeared。

With a heavy heart, the four of them slowly descended, Feng Shuzhu looked around, and saw that there was no other movement, so they raised their feet and slowly walked towards the center of the fire, the air was filled with a strong smell of smoke and dust, and the burning branches made a "crackling" deflagration sound from time to time, and even a branch was scorched and couldn't bear the pressure, and it broke off and fell down with a "click", which scared the little fat bear bag and hugged Chu Qing's ankle.

Shui Lingyue held her senior sister Shui Yunyun in one hand, the Shui Yue Sword in the other, and a pair of cold eyes like electricity and frost, looking at the surroundings, although her face was indifferent and expressionless, her heart was also shocked by the messy scene in front of her.

Feng Shuzhu walked slowly in the center of the fire, as if he wanted to find clues, suddenly, the hem of Lan's shirt was hung by something, and when he looked down, he was a monk from Kongjue Temple, lying on the ground, his body had been scorched, and he struggled to pull Feng Shuzhu with his hands.

Feng Shuzhu hurriedly squatted down, held his hand, and called, "Master?"

The monk shook his head bitterly and said with difficulty, "Wind ...... Feng Shaoxia, I, my ears, are already deaf, hearing, not hearing. As he spoke, dark red blood oozed from his chapped lips.

Feng Shuzhu turned around and shouted to Chu Qing to bring the kettle, and was about to feed the monk water, but when he saw him shaking his head with a miserable smile, he said intermittently: "No, it's useless, Feng ...... Wind Shaoxia, Sky Walker...... Escape...... ，...... Empty Awakening Temple. ”

As he spoke, he coughed violently, spit out a mouthful of blood, and said in an even more vague voice: "Demon ...... Warcraft, a group of ...... Let's ,......" Later, I could only see his lips and teeth open and close, but he could no longer hear the sound, and finally, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked straight at the night sky, and let go of Feng Shuzhu's hand.

Feng Shuzhu slowly let go of the monk's hand, slowly raised his hand again, gently brushed his face, let the deceased star, and then stood up, glanced around, pulled the bodies of the monks to one place, stood for a long time, raised his hand, volleyed into the void, attracted the flames on the surrounding trees, and cremated the monks.

The raging fire burned a stick of incense for a while, and then it gradually went out, and the surroundings gradually dimmed.

Silence, a dead silence, as if one could hear the sound of a heartbeat.

"Brother Feng, where are we going next?" Chu Qing broke the silence with a sentence.

Feng Shuzhu looked at Chu Qing, then turned to look at Shui Lingyue, suddenly, his face was cold, and when he reached out and touched it, it was a drop of water.

Chu Qing beside him also touched his face, then raised his arm, stretched out his palm, looked at the night sky, and said, "It's raining." ”

Feng Shuzhu said "um", led Chu Qing, walked in front of Shui Lingyue, and said, "Shui girl, it's raining, we have to go to shelter from the rain as soon as possible." ”

Shui Lingyue didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

Feng Shuzhu pointed to the distance with his hand, and then said: "Over there, a tea worker, there is a farmer, you can spend the night." ”

As soon as Chu Qing heard that she was staying at the farmhouse, she came to her senses and said, "Brother Feng, then let's go quickly" but saw Feng Shuzhu staring at Shui Lingyue, as if waiting for an answer.

Chu Qing turned around and said, "Sister Shui, it's raining, let's go quickly, don't hesitate." ”

Shui Lingyue glanced at Chu Qing, then at the senior sister who was reluctant to give up, and said softly, "Okay." ”

Feng Shuzhu turned around and looked at the fire again, sighed softly, and said, "Let's go." ”

A few of them flew again, and in an instant they got out of the heavy ground, got rid of the burning and choking smell, and the air gradually became fresher.

It's just that in the distance, dark clouds are rolling, lightning is rushing, and the "booming" thunder can be faintly heard, and a strong wind and rain is coming.

Unconsciously flew dozens of miles away, and saw a little light in the mountain forest in front of me from a distance, and when a few people fell down, they came closer to see, there were two low houses in the woods, and some light leaked out from the outermost door.

Feng Shuzhu walked to the door and knocked lightly, only to hear the "squeak" of the door, and saw a gray-haired hunched old woman holding a lotus lamp to open the door. When she looked up at the people following her, she was first taken aback, and then said, "No wonder the magpie is calling on the branch this morning, it turns out that there is a distinguished guest coming." ”

Feng Shuzhu smiled and said, "Granny Duan said that she laughed, this is Chu Qing, Feng's sister-in-law, and those two are Feng's friends, Shui Lingyue and Shui Yunyun Woman." Feng Shuzhu said as he put his arm on Chu Qing's shoulder.

Chu Qing tiptoed, smiled like a flower, and said, "I've seen my mother-in-law, my name is Chu Qing." ”

The old woman who was called Granny Duan smiled, still hoarse, as if she was out of breath and said, "Okay, good, all right, come into the house and sit, the wind and rain are coming." As he spoke, he turned around and led the way, approached the house, pushed open the west wing, and said, "The old man has never touched the room where the son lived last time. As he spoke, he turned around, looked at everyone, and continued: "It's just that there are a few more guests this time, I don't know if it's too narrow." ”

Feng Shuzhu smiled and said, "I am grateful to have a place to shelter from the rain, Granny Duan doesn't have to be so polite." ”

The old woman nodded, turned around and went back to the house, lit the oil lamp on the table, and at this time, Chu Qing, who followed in, saw clearly that this room was not big, there was a simple bamboo collapse, which could only be used for one person to lie down, and there was no bedding. In the center of the floor is a wooden table with two bamboo chairs. There is a small shrine nailed to the west side of the house, there is no idol in it, but only the word "years", and under the shrine are two dilapidated futons, which seem to be used by the master to kneel and worship when he offers incense. On the ground behind the door of the house was a dustpan with many soft blades of grass in it, and I don't know what to do. In short, the house is extremely simple, and the lights are as weak as beans, but they are clean and clean, and spotless.

Seeing that everyone had entered the house, Granny Duan smiled at Feng Shuzhu and said in a low voice: "Son, the old body has some words, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Feng Shuzhu arched his hand and said, "Granny Duan, but it's okay to talk about it." ”

Granny Duan glanced at everyone, her gaze stayed on Chu Qing for a moment, and then she withdrew her gaze and said, "Childe's Taoism is extraordinary and holy, rare in the world, the old body is happy and convinced of this, but the old body is only here to be quiet and leisurely, I don't know if Gongzi is here to be a guest, or to bring wind and rain?"

When Feng Shuzhu heard this, he smiled and said: "Granny Duan is too worried, Feng is here because of the wind and rain on the road, it is difficult to rush when it is dark, only spend one night, and leave tomorrow morning, there is a lot of trouble, don't be surprised." ”

Granny Duan was silent for a moment, but shook her head slightly, and said: "The old man looks at a few people who are not ordinary husbands and women, he will definitely be a man of the year one day, but whether it is an immortal or a demon, the old body is hiding here, I don't want to get involved in the wind and rain, tomorrow morning the rain stops, please take care of yourself, I hope you understand." As he spoke, he walked slowly to Shui Yunyun, looked at him twice, and sighed: "This female disciple of the Water Moon Palace has at least two or more strange poisons in her body, and her nature is lost, but it is a pity that she has a beautiful face. As he spoke, he took out a red pill from his cuff and sent it to Shui Lingyue's hand, saying: "The old body has a relationship with Master Shuiyue, so I should repay her personal favor today, but the old body has been wishing for many years, but this pill can only solve one poison in her body, and the rest depends on your master." ”

Shui Lingyue glanced at Granny Duan, holding the pill in her hand, and did not speak, but turned her head to look at Feng Shuzhu, as if seeking an answer.

Granny Duan saw it in her eyes, shook her head slightly, bent her waist, and slowly walked out, muttering to herself as she walked: "The east wind is evil, and the joy is thin......"

Feng Shuzhu sent Granny Duan out, turned her head and said softly to Shui Lingyue: "Miss Shui, don't worry, this mother-in-law is credible." ”

When Shui Lingyue heard this, her hesitation suddenly disappeared, and she helped her senior sister Shui Yunyun to sit on the bamboo collapse and fed her the red pill.

Chu Qing, who was idle on the side, listened to the few words that Granny Duan said when she left, she was confused, and she didn't understand it after thinking about it for a long time, but after thinking about it, she walked to the small shrine, knelt down reverently, and kowtowed a few times.

Feng Shuzhu smiled and said, "Qing'er, why do you kneel?"

Chu Qing glanced at the small shrine, stood up, and said with a grin: "Although I didn't know that this 'time' was the god and Buddha, but we borrowed someone's dojo, and it would be good to worship it." ”

Feng Shuzhu smiled, shook his head and said: "How is this 'time' a god and Buddha, it is a state of mind of Granny Duan, does life still not send away the years every day, but usher in the years." ”

Chu Qing stood up, stared at the word "years" in the small shrine, recalling what Feng Shuzhu said, a pair of watery eyes turned, raised a finger, and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, I understand, that is to say, life is to send away yesterday and usher in tomorrow, but ......"

Feng Shuzhu's lips flattened, and he smiled: "But what?"

Chu Qing said thoughtfully: "But I think, isn't the most important thing today? And Brother Feng, didn't you tell me something: 'The wind comes to sparse the bamboo, and the wind passes and the bamboo does not leave a sound; And then what other ancient oranges are coming...... , what is empty. After speaking, Chu Qing stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.

Feng Shuzhu glared at her and said with a smile: "It's 'so the gentleman's heart begins to appear when things come, and his heart is empty when things go.'" I think you're hungry. ”

Chu Qing grinned and said, "You say this, I'm really hungry." ”

"Squeak", but the door was pushed open, only to see the head of the house, Granny Duan, bent her waist, carrying a bamboo basket in her hand, with a wind and rain atmosphere, walked in, glanced at everyone, and said softly: "Poor country, there is nothing to entertain, the old man picked some wild fruits, please eat them." ”

When Chu Qing saw it, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran over to take the basket, and said with a smile: "Thank you, mother-in-law." ”

Granny Duan smiled and said, "Thank you, the little girl is very smart, you just talked about it, the old body also heard it, Feng Gongzi is right, these years are indeed the experience of the old body for many years of practice, and the years are sent away in the plain to usher in the years, day after day." Then his eyes were full of love, and he looked at Chu Qing and said: "But the most important thing is that today, Feng Gongzi just said one less sentence of 'standing in the moment', and you little girl took advantage of the loophole and made it difficult." He laughed.

Chu Qing stretched out her tongue embarrassedly, carried the basket, and changed the topic: "I'll distribute fruits to everyone." As he spoke, he took out a wild fruit from the basket and gave it to Feng Shuzhu, then turned around and walked towards the bamboo collapse, and gave Shui Lingyue and the two wild fruits.

Granny Duan smiled slightly, shook her head lightly, and said, "Feng Gongzi, you righteous sister, I'm afraid he will have to spend some time in the future." As he spoke, he walked to the door, then stopped, turned and pointed to the table, and said, "There is mountain spring water in that pot, you guests use it slowly." With that, he pushed the door and went out.

While everyone was talking, the "little fat bear" bag found a good place, walked to the dustpan behind the door, stretched his waist, curled up, and fell asleep with a "purr", which seemed to be very comfortable.

Chu Qing walked over, squatted down, took a wild fruit, put it in front of the nose of the "little fat bear" bag, and shook it. The "little chubby bear" bag bag did not open his eyes, but sniffed with his nose, then stretched out his paws, hugged the wild fruit, took a bite, and chewed twice with his cheeks, before swallowing, and then made a "purr" sound, and actually held the wild fruit that he had bitten and fell asleep again......

Chu Qing shook his head, sighed, and said in a low voice, "You lazy person has already gone out of the realm." After speaking, he stood up, looked at a few wild fruits left in the basket, took another one, handed it to Feng Shuzhu, and pretended to be old-fashioned and said: "Feng Gongzi, cough cough, your righteous sister will bother you in the future." ”

Feng Shuzhu glanced at her, took the fruit, and said with a smile: "You don't eat it yourself?"

Chu Qing shook the basket and said, "I still have it." ”

"Ahem...... Ahem",

There was a violent coughing sound from Zhuqiu's side, and I saw Shui Yunyun's face as pale as paper, his lips were purple, he covered his chest with his hands, closed his eyes tightly, coughed incessantly, and breathed hard.

Feng Shuzhu walked quickly, leaned over, and said to Shui Lingyue: "Water girl, I want to check it for her." ”

Shui Lingyue looked at her senior sister with concern, turned her head to look at Feng Shuzhu when she heard this, nodded, and said softly: "Hmm." ”

Feng Shuzhu stretched out his fingers and held the water cloud vein door, and after a while, he opened the sleeve of the water cloud and saw that three inches of his wrist, there was a round object beating under the skin, as if it was alive.

Feng Shuzhu pressed the beating object with his fingers, looked around, and saw that there was nothing available, so he said to Shui Lingyue: "Water girl, quickly use the water moon sword to pick out this thing, this is the poison of the 'Su slave' among your senior sisters, and it has been forced to gather in one place by Granny Duan's elixir." ”

Hearing this, Shui Lingyue pulled out the Water Moon Sword with a "swish", and a sword bloom was like autumn water, shaking in front of Shui Yunyun, and a dark black object was picked up and dropped to the ground, and it squirmed a few times before it turned into a pool of blood and seeped into the soil.

On the other hand, the water is cloudy, the whole body is wet, the forehead bangs have been beaten, the whole body shiveres, the lips are pale and bloodless, the eyes are closed, and the mouth keeps reading: "Cold, cold, so cold." ”

"Don't keep her warm outside, survive the night, and the poison will be gone. The voice came from the next room.

Feng Shuzhu turned his head, but saw Shui Lingyue's cold eyes, looking at herself faintly, for some reason, Shui Lingyue's eyes have always been as cold as frost, and at this moment, Feng Shuzhu collided with her gaze, and her heart was warm.

"Gurgle" There was a sound of teeth colliding, but it was a cloud of water on the side, and I saw that his face was extremely ugly, as if he was enduring great pain.

Feng Shuzhu hesitated, raised his hand suddenly, and tapped the back of her neck, and Shui Yunyu fainted in response.

Feng Shuzhu said in a low voice: "I ordered her sleeping hole, it is more comfortable, and it will not delay the detoxification of the body." ”

Shui Lingyue didn't speak, but leaned over, gently stretched out her hand, and put Shui Yunyun flat on the bamboo collapse, and observed for a while, seeing that its breathing was stable, as if she was asleep, she was a little relieved, raised her eyes to look at Feng Shuzhu, and said softly: "Thank you Feng Shaoxia." ”

Feng Shuzhu nodded slightly, turned around and pointed to the table and said, "It's better to sit down together and eat some wild fruits and drink some mountain spring water." After speaking, he walked to the table, sat down, flipped over the three teacups, poured three cups of water in turn, and called softly: "Qing'er, come over and drink some water." ”

Chu Qing walked to the table almost at the same time as Shui Lingyue, Shui Lingyue was silent, but Chu Qing's eyes rolled and said, "Feng Gongzi, there is only one chair here, do you want me to stand, or do you want Sister Shui to stand?"

Feng Shuzhu suddenly realized, got up hurriedly, gave up his chair and said, "Oh, Feng is rude, please sit." ”

Chu Qing smiled, and when she saw that Shui Lingyue didn't move, she pulled her casually, and the two sat down, but Feng Shuzhu had to hold the teacup in her hand and stand aside with a smile.

Chu Qing picked up the teacup, took a sip of water, and said, "Oh, I didn't expect this mountain spring water to be so delicious, refreshing and sweet." ”

Feng Shuzhu took over and said, "How about the spring water in our close thinking?"

Chu Qing thought for a moment, took another sip of spring water, and then shook his head and said: "The spring water here is refreshing and sweet, and the spring water of our Jade Shoot Peak near Si Xiaozhu is refreshing and slightly clear. ”

Feng Shuzhu sighed slightly and said, "Yes, although the spring water here is good, it is difficult to compare with your own." After saying that, he looked out the window.

At this time, it was already pitch black outside the window, the rain washed the doors and windows, sometimes urgent and sometimes slow, like a reverberating tune, the sound of the rain was far away, and the feeling of homesickness was triggered; the sound of the rain was sad, as if to comfort the soul of the deceased; the sound of the rain was also lingering and subtle, like the Guan Ju hidden in the bottom of the heart (note: quoting the Book of Songs, referring to the love song of love between men and women).

Chu Qing put down the teacup and said, "Brother Feng, shall we go back to Cangqing Mountain tomorrow morning?"

When Feng Shuzhu heard this, he came back to his senses, glanced at Shui Lingyue, and said, "I'm afraid we have to go to Kongjue Temple first, and we still have some things to do." ”

Chu Qing let out an "oh", and then asked, "What about you, Sister Shui?"

Shui Lingyue pondered for a moment, looked at the lights with a pair of bright eyes, and said slowly: "Back to Shuiyue Palace, I haven't seen Master for a long time." After speaking, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, as if he was holding the Shuiyue Sword in Chunhui, and it seemed to be a little tighter.

After that, everyone was speechless, and seemed to be thinking about their own thoughts.

Dawn is approaching, the rain has finally stopped, the lights in the room are like beans, Chu Qing fell asleep on the table, Feng Shuzhu and Shui Lingyue both sat on the futon and meditated, but Shui Lingyue leaned on the bamboo collapsed on the senior sister, and Feng Shuzhu was beside the table.

Suddenly, there was a "bang", and an animal outside the house seemed to jump to the ground, and then there was a sound of animal claws scratching the door. Chu Qing raised her head vigilantly and glanced at it, but saw that Feng Shuzhu and Shui Lingyue did not move, so she quietly lay on the table, but her eyes were squinted, secretly observing.

Later, seeing that the door was gently pushed open, a fat orange cat walked in, stared at the round, erected its tail, stretched its waist, yawned, and walked to the dustpan behind the door.

The big orange cat stared at the dustpan, fixed its mind, hesitated for a long time, tried several times, and finally took a step closer, but saw a strange animal sleeping in the dustpan, similar in size to himself, with its exposed belly rising and falling, making a "purring" sound.

The big orange cat cautiously approached, lowered its body, slowly stretched out its front paws and tentatively touched the animal.

With a "whoosh", the animal actually sat up, rubbed its eyes, and frightened the big orange cat jumped back, arched its waist, lowered its ears, and let out a terrifying "meow...... Whoops.

What is the animal, that is, the "little fat bear" bag lying in the dustpan sleeping, and after it sat up and saw clearly, it was also startled, when did a big fat cat come, and it was still eyeing itself, so he quickly stood up straight, vigilantly and constantly waved his paws.

The big orange cat saw that you occupied my sleeping nest, not to mention, and waved his paws to fight with me, "meow", ran up, and went straight to the top of the head of the "little fat bear" bag with one paw.

This claw is like lightning, and the "little fat bear" bag wanted to close his claws and catch the claws of the big orange cat, but he unexpectedly caught an empty spot, his eyes were dark, and his face was sturdy. I wanted to open my claws and take a closer look, but who knows, the cat's claws like a storm came in an instant, and I was caught at least a dozen times. This speed is too fast, although he has rough skin and thick meat, but he is indeed not an opponent, thinking of this, a back roll, relying on a round body, rolled out of the dustpan on the spot. How do you know that before the body stands still, the big orange cat is like a cone attached to the bone, and it follows in an instant, and it is another cat's claw. The "little fat bear" bag was so frightened that he crawled with a roll, ran to Chu Qing's feet, and got into his skirt and didn't dare to come out.

"Poof", Chu Qing laughed out loud, and said with a smile: "Aren't you a bear, why can't you beat the cat?" ”

Frightened, the "Little Fat Bear" bag ran tightly on Chu Qing's arm, saying that this "cat's paw dinner" really left a "childhood shadow" on the "Little Fat Bear" bag, which still lingers after many years.

When the big orange cat saw someone wake up, it seemed to want to leave, but it stood still, as if it had not been addicted, staring at the "little fat bear" bag, constantly showing its fangs, and making a "meow ......" sound.

"Girl, don't bully guests. ”

A hoarse and old voice came, and as soon as the words fell, Granny Duan pushed the door and entered.

When the big orange cat turned around and saw that it was the owner, he immediately became extremely well-behaved, "meow" called softly, bowed his back slightly, and jumped into Granny Duan's arms, licked the master's hand, and kept rubbing the owner's face with his head, instantly becoming a cute big cat.

Granny Duan comforted the big orange cat a few times, put it into the dustpan, and said, "You don't have to panic, this is a big cat raised by an old man, who went out to forage for food last night and came back." ”

The big orange cat jumped into the dustpan, sniffed with his nose, looked at the "little fat bear" bag, and turned over the blades of grass laid in it, before curling up, squinting his eyes and sleeping.

At this time, Feng Shuzhu and Shui Lingyue had also stood up, and Feng Shuzhu arched his hand and said: "Granny Duan, the sky is already bright at this moment, and I will leave after I wash up. ”

Granny Duan coughed lightly and said, "It's a good time to get up early and hurry, and the old body doesn't have many sons, please." With that, he turned around and went out.
