The sun had just set on the mountain, and it was faint in the river, like a sprinkle of gold all over the river.

The curtain of the ferry boat was rolled up and hung aside, Chen Anzhi bent down and picked up a handful of river water, the river water flowed down between his fingers, he didn't look up, and said calmly: "When I entered the Far Mountain Sect, you also knew?"

Mu Ruyi shook his head, "I only knew you were here when I saw your name on the big test list, as for whether the master knows it or not, I don't know." ”

Chen Anzhi let out a thoughtful sigh and looked into the distance.

The foothills of the distant mountains zigzag extend under the crimson sunset, the Langxi River flows through the mountains, and the flat boats of several leaves are like the world, ups and downs, swaying on them, and the smoke and rain are empty.

Mu Ruyi hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Master said, you want to find a sword." ”

Chen Anzhi nodded and did not speak.

"How long will you stay in the Far Mountain Sect?" Mu Ruyi's eyebrows were lowered, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

Chen Anzhi thought for a while and hesitated: "Originally, I wanted to stay for a long time, but now I don't know." ”

Mu Ruyi looked up at the sky, inexplicably relieved, and said with a smile: "I finally understand, why Master suddenly asked me to come to Shenkeng Village and asked me to bring you, I didn't understand it before, but now I probably know, it's not that I have to come here, but you have to go." What happened in Shenkeng Village, there are some other things, you don't want to say, I won't ask you, until one day you want to say it, I will listen quietly. ”

"It is often said that the king lives in the dusty sky, and the snow is on each side. The breeze blew the fallen leaves, and several bamboo leaves fell into the pool, causing the fish to flick their tails and splash a little wave, and the red-robed old man playing with fish under the corridor pinched his beard and sighed lightly.

There was a pair of tea sets in front of the old man, but there were three teacups of different colors, blue as water, white as jade, and black as ink. ”

Sitting beside him was a well-behaved and lovely maid, with long hairpin in a smoked bun, dignified and sensible, dressed in a blue Luo skirt, holding a bamboo handle yarn fan, seventeen or eighteen.

The old man picked up the teacup, suddenly sighed and put the teacup down, and asked, "Spring breeze, where did that little guy run away?" Tell him to watch the door, it's bullshit!"

At this time, the girl who was squatting aside to make tea stopped the fan, tilted her head, and replied curiously: "Sir, last time Fugui accidentally broke your causal tea, and was punished by you to cut bamboo behind the mountain, did you forget?"

The old man has always been kind to the only two subordinates on this mountain, which also makes Chunfeng a little less afraid of this old man, and said with a smile: "It seems that the old man is old, and his memory is not very good." ”

The old man was a little helpless, it was his own temperament that made do with everything, but he called this person a little big and small, but he didn't bother to discipline after thinking about it, after all, there were only three people on this spring breeze and rich mountain, and they were afraid to speak, and they could suffocate themselves to death.

The time of a cultivator is much longer than that of a mortal.

Time is long, hundreds of thousands of years at every turn, and there is no companion to talk to, which is really boring.

The old man lay on the bamboo chair and said quietly: "Spring breeze, it's not the lord I'm scaring you, at the bottom of the mountain, if you dare to talk to other masters like this, you will inevitably be punished." ”

Chunfeng covered his mouth and snickered, "Isn't this a master, you don't care about villains~"

Without words, the old man's face was ugly, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the gate, his expression was quite helpless, and he stood up.

"Ten miles of spring breeze, cooking tea and snow are not boiling. The old man sighed and put down the teacup, and looked helplessly ahead, the Taoist priest in a tattered Taoist robe said, "You see that this tea is not boiling, so I won't leave you to drink tea." ”

"Have you seen Chen Anzhi?" the old Taoist priest took a step forward with his hands behind his back.

The red-robed old man sighed again, got up and looked at the old Taoist priest with a solemn face, and said, "I went to a period of cause and effect, and I happened to meet it." ”

The old Taoist priest is the one in the ruler lane of Daliang Jingcheng, and now he has long lost his lazy look, and has been replaced by a fairy wind dao bone, looking like an old fairy.

The old man in the red robe noticed that the old Taoist priest was not good, and said helplessly: "I know that you are in them towards He An, but let's count up for thousands of years, fortunately, we are also in the same body, so there is no need to be so-for-tat, and I don't care much about that guy." ”

"Cause and effect have been paid off?" the old Taoist priest didn't answer his words, asked and pinched the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said lightly.

The red-robed old man had a strange face, pointed to the black teacup in the old Taoist's hand, and said, "There are two more stages of cause and effect." ”

The old Taoist priest coughed lightly, put down the teacup as if nothing happened, and walked to the pool in the courtyard.

The red-robed old man said again: "Having said that, it seems that there are going to be some moves on the side of the 100,000 mountains. ”

The old Taoist priest nodded, "That little guy from the Yuanshan Sect already knows and told Emperor Daliang that it won't be long before the dynasty sects of the three states and five regions will send troops to the Great Wall. ”

The two stood side by side, and the fish in the pool sucked the water, and jumped out of the water, throwing out a droplet.

"What about the little one?" asked the old priest.

The red-robed old man raised his chin and nodded to the southeast, and said with a smile: "Chopping bamboo behind the mountain." ”

On the southeast stream behind the mountain, the bamboo forest is lush.

There was a sweaty young man, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, full of vitality, with his bare upper body, revealing his strong muscles, holding a rusty iron knife.

A little sawdust jumped out, and the gap in the bamboo body in front of me was a little deeper.

Countless tender green juices flowed down, and the cracks healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What kind of broken bamboo is this!" the young man frowned, shook the machete in his hand, and complained: "The master doesn't know what is crazy, he likes to use this thing to make tea, even if it is difficult to cut, it is difficult to burn." ”

"Phew, you haven't noticed anything after all these years of letting you chop bamboo?"

The young man hurriedly shrunk his neck, not knowing when the old man would come back, and said with a smiling face: "Little stupid, I still hope that the old man will give you some advice." ”

"Little guy, listen to the wind, listen to the water, have their own mysteries. Another familiar voice rang out, and the boy's eyes lit up, and when he closed his eyes, the stream flowed, sometimes urgently, sometimes slowly, and the wind blew, and the reeds rustled.

The young man listened with his eyes closed, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and in an instant, the spirit rhino moved, and after a loud shout, he raised his knife. Chop it down with all your might.

"Break it for me!"

The crunch sound was extremely bright.

This time there were no sawdust flying out.

The red-robed old man had a bit of smugness on his face, and said with a smile: "It's okay to understand." ”

The old Taoist priest was silent, but he was secretly happy in his heart, and said without saying: "The scenery of your Spring Breeze Rich Mountain is really good, but there are fewer people." ”

He slowly left the place, and a voice dissipated from the sky.

"It's almost time to take in a few apprentices. ”

The Distant Mountain Sect, the nineteenth peak where the nineteenth floor is located.

At the end of the day's practice, Luo Yuetong and the others got together to discuss the preparations for tomorrow's big test.

It's just to discuss the past, but there is still no good way, after all, the strength of the nineteenth floor is not as good as the rest of the fellow disciples, which is recognized.

Coupled with the little junior brother who is most optimistic about the master, it will be more than ten days after going down the mountain, and there is no news.

Thinking about it this way, it is inevitable that there will be a loss of morale.

"Little junior sister. He Sanxi saw that the little junior sister's face was gloomy, and he handed over a bamboo chopstick in his hand, and said mysteriously: "You come and break it." ”

Ye Jianxi glanced at him, and secretly said something about unity in his heart.

Luo Yuetong pinched it in his hand, although it was a little strange, but he still did as his senior brother said, and easily broke the bamboo chopsticks.

At this time, He Sanxi smiled, took out a large handful of bamboo chopsticks, handed them to Luo Yuetong, and said, "Now you try again." ”

Luo Yuetong took it in his hand, He Sanxi made an educational look, and said, "How about it?

"Click~"

With a crisp sound, it still broke easily, Luo Yuetong looked at the senior brother with an innocent face, and asked, "What did the senior brother say?"

Du Yizhuang coughed lightly, his eyes moved elsewhere, Ye Jianxi covered his mouth, trying his best to hold back the smile.

He Sanxi choked up, took a deep breath, and said righteously: "Senior brother wants to tell you that violence is the best way to solve the problem. ”

“······”

At dusk, Luo Yuetong returned to his courtyard, passed by Chen Anzhi's courtyard, stopped, pursed his lips for no reason, raised his head and looked at the clear sky like fire, counted the days, and muttered: "Chen Anzhi has been down the mountain for more than ten days, and it's time to come back." ”

"The big test is going to start tomorrow, can you come back?"
