————————
On the sixth day of the fourth month, the beginning of summer.
In the early morning of this day, in the gap of the white clouds, there was a morning glow. The sky rarely showed a hint of a smile, and the feet of the pedestrians were much more relaxed.
On the official road in the mountains, some people came out of nowhere to repair the damaged road.
The sky had turned clear, and the road under his feet was not difficult, even so, on this day of the ninth day of the fourth month, the Tianlong faction arrived in Xu City.
Xucheng is a small city in the mountains, and the people in the city dress and voice a little strangely, and there is nothing uncomfortable. It's just that on the wine flags and tea flags on both sides of the street, those words made Lin Yi feel quite kind.
Since the beginning of Lanlingdu, everything you have seen along the way is like this, and the wine flag and tea banner are written in ancient style, which is the same as what Lin Yi has learned since childhood. In a trance, it gives people a long-lost feeling, all this seems to have existed in a dream for a long time, and when I look back one day, I suddenly realize that his dream is not a dream, this scene is not a scene!
I felt something in my heart but was only happy to be alone, and Lin Yi was also happy.
After everyone entered the city to find an inn to live in, Lin Yi said to Elder Meng that there are car dealers in the city, and there are cars and horses in the car dealership. When the latter heard this, he hurriedly took people to find it, and after working for half a day, he rented four carriages and came back. There are few horses in the small town, and it is good to have a carriage to travel.
After staying overnight in Xucheng, everyone continued to travel in four carriages. After another three days of walking, the terrain gradually opened up. Just after noon on that day, a fork in the road ahead, and the carriages stopped.
To the southeast on the right hand is an avenue, lined with trees on both sides, wide and straight, in the direction of the county seat. The path on the left hand was much shabby, like a place leading to a poor country, and it looked a little desolate.
Miss Xie's master and servant are going to part ways with everyone here. When everyone got out of the car to see each other, Yuan Qing walked in front of Lin Yi with a solemn face.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "You and I still have a day to meet, why bother!"
Yuan Qing gritted his teeth, knelt down with a 'poof', and kowtowed three times. Lin Yi stretched out his hand, lifted it up, and said softly: "Take care!"
Yuan Qing's eyes turned red, and he took out a silk handkerchief, on which were written a few small characters. He said: "This is Miss Xie's address in the county town, Brother Cheng and I will stay here for the time being, Uncle Shi don't forget to come and see me!"
Miss Xie's name. Lin Yi took the silk handkerchief, looked at it, and then stuffed it into Yuan Qing's hand, nodded and said, "I wrote it down!"
"Senior brother, take care!" Yuan Feng choked up and said, Yuan Qing stepped forward to hug him, beat him hard a few times, and then pushed it away violently, and said loudly: "Senior brother also take care all the way!" After speaking, he hugged his fists at the Tianlong Sect, turned around and strode away.
Lin Yi's face was not sad, he just glanced at the carriage that was going away, gently patted Yuan Feng, who was still crying, and sighed: "When you turn around, you can go to the county town to find him and see him again!"
Yuan Qing's departure was very sudden, and it was reasonable. After the sigh of farewell, they parted ways!
The remaining three carriages drove along the northeast path. On the last wagon, Lin Yi, Meng Shan, Ji Tang, Yu Zixian, Shishi, and Yuan Feng were crowded together. The weather is a little hot and dry in the summer, and a cool breeze blows, which makes people quite comfortable!
After resuming the journey, Lin sat in the car and did not speak, looking into the distance alone, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Meng San's eyebrows locked and expanded, he held his short beard, his eyes swept over the people in the car, and coughed lightly.
Lin Yi turned around and shook his head and smiled at him. He knew that Elder Meng was thinking too much, so he signaled that it was okay for him!
"Haha! I know that Brother Lin is not a child and daughter!" Monsan took the opportunity to laugh. His words seemed to be joking, but in fact they were a kind of relief and comfort.
"Oh, could there be a hero in the car?" Lin replied with a chuckle when he saw that Yuan Feng was still crying.
The laughter of the two made everyone's expressions lively!
Lin Yi wasn't sad because of Yuan Qing's departure, and there were still few people leaving? He was a little worried about Yuan Qing, after all, he was alone here, and it was not easy to face a powerful Lanling League! But he didn't know how to help Yuan Qing, even if he could help him, was this what Yuan Qing wanted?
After thinking about it, Lin Yi realized that he was wrong! If he didn't have the identity of a monk, and he went to the rivers and lakes of Great Xia like this, he might not have done a good job! In this case, where did he Lin Yi worry?
After Yuan Feng was teased by Lin Yi, he said with a depressed expression: "I used to follow my master, then I followed my senior brother, and now I follow you, uncle, sooner or later, I will have to separate." This heart is empty, and people are at a loss. ”
Who wouldn't be like that? Lin Yi secretly sighed and said, "When you go back, someone will follow you." Bring a message to Tianfu, saying that the master has not forgotten him!" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of the situation when Tianfu worshipped himself as a teacher at the beginning. At that time, I was also a child! When dealing with Tianfu father and son, I had to put on the posture of an adult. Now that I think about it, it's only been two years, but it's as far away as a lifetime, but it's so clear and vivid.
"Brother Lin, I can't imagine that you also accepted apprentices, was it before you came to Jiulong Mountain?" asked Meng Shan curiously.
Lin Yi shook his head humbly and smiled: "It's just a bit of nonsense at the beginning!" At that time, he was only sixteen years old, and he actually accepted a ten-year-old child as an apprentice, which was really funny to say.
"Uncle Shi, why is it nonsense? Didn't you say that Tianfu had already opened up the innate meridians? This kind of practice can be described as twice the result with half the effort, and it will be enough to become a top master in the rivers and lakes in a few years. "Yuan Feng still thinks that there is a congenital master as a junior disciple, how can he be arrogant in front of others!
"Alas, why can't my Heavenly Dragon Sect find such a disciple?" Meng Shan felt sorry for himself.
Lin smiled and said nothing, but glared at Yuan Feng intentionally or unintentionally. After all, Xuanyuanguan wants to gain a foothold in the big business rivers and lakes, and it is better not to say some things. Otherwise, why would the Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples go through so much trouble and bother for their outings!
The group talked and laughed in the carriage, and the road was not lonely. But the further you go, the narrower the road becomes, barely enough for a carriage.
After ten days of walking, the coachman of the carriage was reluctant to move forward, why? There was only a path in the grass leading to an inexplicable place, and the carriage could not go at all.
There were no towns along the way, only a few villages where everyone could rest and shine. If it weren't for Elder Jiang's words in the jade slip and clarifying the whereabouts, Lin Yi wouldn't be sure whether to continue moving forward.
Abandon the car and walk along the path. The slopes on both sides are undulating, the trees are high and dense, look up and see the verdant, the birds are chirping, people walk in the shade of the trees, occasionally the mountain breeze blows, if you are not in a hurry, it is like enjoying the scenery in the mountains.
The sun climbed up the treetops, and it was nearly noon, and the group was tired of walking, and their feet slowed down. Ji Tang, who was walking in front, glanced back, and was about to say hello to Elder Meng and Lin Yi to see if they wanted to rest, when there was a sudden sound of quarrel on the winding mountain path.
"Old man, give me back the spirit stone!" a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old opened his arms, his face flushed, and shouted angrily. This person has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, like a reader. Opposite him was an elderly man, with a ruddy complexion, a long silver-gray beard fluttering, and the appearance of a fairy wind bone, but because he was blocked from going way, his eyebrows inadvertently showed a hint of cunning.
"You are unreasonable! Business is about both goods and goods, and you will not admit it when you turn your face. What are you pestering the old man to do?" The old man threw down a sentence and wanted to run away, but the young man did not relent, stepped forward to block the way again, and said angrily: "You said that ten spirit stones can lead me into the immortal gate, I gave you the spirit stone, where is the fairy gate? Didn't you scold me? Quickly return my spirit stone!"
The old man couldn't escape, so he had to hold his long beard in his hand, and pretended to be reserved: "You don't know how to do things! The old man is also this old man, as for a few spirit stones? Yes, the old man said that he could lead you to the fairy gate." If you can't go by yourself, what are you doing with me?
Xu was so angry that the young man pointed at the other party and said, "You...... If you tell me a place and let me find it myself, you ask me for ten spirit stones, what is the difference between this and asking for directions, and how can you lead me to the fairy gate? You old man has a black conscience, hurry up and return my spirit stones, otherwise the ends of the earth will not let you go!"
The old man shook his head disapprovingly, and said seriously: "You can't teach your son! The old man asks you, what is the inducement! From this, I know that he has pointed out the place for you, but you are ignorant, where do you blame me? Boy, you are not good enough! The old man is also going!"
After that, the old man took the road and wanted to escape. The young man pondered for a moment, felt that something was wrong, stepped forward and blocked the other party, and said loudly: "You old man is talking nonsense, and the introduction is the meaning of recommendation." Since you have said that you want to lead me to the fairy gate, you should recommend it to the fairy gate for me. Now you take my spirit stone, and you want to slip away from it, aren't you telling me about my spirit stone?"
