The night is dark and the wind is high, and the bright moon hangs high. Under the dirt slope of the City God Temple, there are local dogs barking from time to time.

Qingfeng Guan was also the same as before, and there was no light and fell into darkness, but the silence did not last long, and in the middle of the night, two black shadows came out of the chamber with twisted hands and feet.

looked closely, but saw two black shadows carrying bulging burdens behind them, shrinking their heads and poking their brains together.

"Master, do you want to sell your apprentice and walk away by yourself? The thin shadow was the first to speak, and he whispered at the tall black shadow's boo. From time to time, he looked around as if he were a thief.

Another tall black shadow slapped the little black shadow on the head and scolded: "Is the teacher that kind of person, but you really understand the mind of the teacher, and you ran out without waiting for the teacher to wake you up." ”

"Master, why are we so careful, aren't we just being thieves? No, it's not a thief, it's our own home. The thin black shadow rubbed his head and continued.

The tall black shadow slapped the little black shadow again, and said, "Stupid, we are just thieves, but even we have stolen ourselves." ”

The thin black shadow nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly sighed: "Master is Master, consciousness is not ordinarily high, and even being a thief has made a realm that others can't do." ”

The two of them are the old Taoist priests and the little Taoist priests of Qingfeng Temple, but at this moment, the two of them are carrying their burdens and holding their bags, and quietly sneaking towards the courtyard gate.

"Master, are you a thief going through the front door?" Li shrank his head and suddenly thought.

The Yunyang Daoist on the side was slightly stunned, feeling that it made sense, and then he looked at the tall earthen wall, his face couldn't help but turn gray, and he said discouragedly: "That's it, let's go to the main gate, I am too old to be a teacher, and I can't stand the toss." ”

As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the door. Li poked his head, looked out, and then hissed, "Master, no one." ”

As soon as the two of them stepped out of the threshold, a voice suddenly sounded beside them: "It's so late, where are you going?"

The old Taoist priest and the little Taoist priest were shocked when they heard this, and in a panic, they all said in unison: "Xiao Jie, breathe!"

"Hehe, since the two of you are so leisurely and elegant, you might as well follow me to the Guixiang Building in the town. It was Mu Yusheng who stopped the master and apprentice from going, and he looked at the two of them who looked panicked playfully at the moment.

Yunyang Daoist coughed lightly, snorted, stretched his waist and said, "That's it, the poor Dao is old and tired, and it is inconvenient to move around when he is in the third place, so I will go back to rest." With that, he hugged his bags and walked back to the courtyard with a red face.

Li Chao grinned awkwardly: "I...... I'm done peeing. With that, he hurriedly returned to the courtyard with his bags.

After the two left, Mu Yusheng was left alone, leaning against the wall and sleeping.

......

The morning light shone through the thick fog on the peaceful town of Fenyang, and the townspeople got up early as usual to start a busy day.

The master and apprentice were woken up from their anhydride, reluctantly packed their bags, and set off for Yongcheng with the people of the Pear Flower Sword Sect.

Lin Quan came to Qingfeng Temple early in the morning, and at this time, he saw the master and apprentice dragging puffy eye bags and casually walking out of the Taoist Temple, and couldn't help but quip: "I don't know if I slept sweetly last night?"

Hearing someone's words, Elder Yunyang Dao's face turned slightly red, and he snorted, and said, "Hehe, I was fascinated by cultivating the Dao method last night, and I never thought that it was early in the morning when I came back to my senses. ”

Lin Quan was noncommittal about these words, but the smile on the corner of his mouth fell in the eyes of the master and apprentice, making the two very uncomfortable.

Coincidentally, the entrance of the town this morning was crowded with people for some reason, and all of them looked in the direction of the City God Temple.

The Pear Flower Sword Sect and his party came from Qingfeng Guan, and arrived at the entrance of the town in less than half an hour. At this time, I saw that the town officials took everyone to rush to Yunyang Dao Chang and Li Ming.

"Daoist Yunyang, I learned yesterday that you were going to Yongcheng, and I came to see you off today. "This town official is full of snow-white hair, and he is already in his old age, and he is a little slurred when he speaks.

For the enthusiasm of the townspeople, the head of Yunyang Dao was slightly surprised. On weekdays, his reputation is not obvious, and he never wants to go on a long trip, but he actually alarms the townspeople in the town. Looking at the crowded town, the head of Yunyang Dao felt a lot of emotion, and after a while, he hugged his fists and raised his voice towards everyone: "Your kindness is poor, please go back, don't be sad for the poor." ”

The town official said yes with a smile, and then walked up to Li Mix tremblingly, and said kindly: "Actually, we are mainly here to send the trail chief to you, and the trail chief will go to Yongcheng in the future, but don't forget us who are far away in Fenyang Town." As he spoke, the townsman covered his cloudy old eyes and shed tears of reluctance.

At the same time, the reluctance in the eyes of all the townspeople around him was also stronger.

Li Chao saw it in his eyes, and his heart was mixed. He scanned everyone with his big moist eyes, and said reluctantly, "I will miss you too." ”

Daoist Yunyang on the side looked at everyone and was deeply grateful. He didn't expect that the good apprentices he taught would be so popular with everyone.

Lin Quan stood behind, looked at the time, and reminded him at the right time: "Everyone, let's go back first, we still need to hurry as soon as possible." With that, he took his disciples to carve out a path.

The master and apprentice followed the people of the Pear Flower Sword Sect and embarked on the official road out of the town.

Looking at the backs of the people who were drifting away, the eyes of the townspeople were full of reluctance. For a moment, the reluctance in their eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by excitement and joy.

"The little devil is finally gone......"

"The little Taoist who killed a thousand knives is finally gone...... Woohoo......"

Everyone cried with joy, and with the cheers of the townspeople, gongs, drums and firecrackers resounded inside and outside Fenyang Town. Fenyang Town, which has just entered the end of autumn, is as lively as the New Year. Of course, there are also people who are really reluctant, such as Widow Li in the east of the town and Widow Zhang in the west of the town......

Li Ming, walking on the winding official road in the mountains and forests, vaguely heard gongs and drums in the direction of the town, and couldn't help but pause under his feet. And he turned his head to look at Fenyang Town, which was gradually blurred in his field of vision, frowning, with a strange expression, he coughed dryly, and hurriedly accelerated the pace under his feet.

The people of the Pear Flower Sword Sect naturally noticed the movement behind them, and their expressions when they looked at the little Taoist priest were also very strange.

Mu Yusheng, who was following the crowd, had a deep understanding of this, and when he thought of the previous humiliation, he didn't get angry, if it weren't for Lin Quan's secret instructions, I am afraid that as early as the night of Qingfeng Guan, he would have taken the life of the little Taoist priest, and he hated it in his heart.

However, on this journey of thousands of miles to Yongcheng, I am not afraid that I will not find the opportunity to take revenge. Mu Yusheng thought so, and a trace of hatred flashed in his expression.

"This is more than 1,000 miles to Yongcheng, there are many rugged mountain roads, we first walked to Yuzhen, and then made another plan. Lin Quan, who was walking in front, walked side by side with Daoist Yunyang, sharing the next itinerary and plans.

The head of Yunyang Dao bowed slightly, admired the misty morning scene on the boulevard, and said with emotion: "Counting the time, I haven't been out of Fenyang Town for many years, and now I am a little uncomfortable when I step out of the town again." ”

Lin Quan said with a smile: "Thousands of miles along the way, there are countless towns and villages, the scenery is pleasant and the people are simple, you might as well enjoy them at a glance to relieve the depression in your heart." ”

Yunyang Dao Chang bowed slightly, noncommittal.

"Master, I haven't been out of Fenyang Town since I was sensible. The two chatted contentistically, and Li Ming, who was beside him, suddenly interjected. He was also looking forward to the world outside the town, and his eyes were full of longing at this time. Are the people outside as good as the townspeople in Fenyang Town, he is very curious.

Yunyang Dao Chang stroked his beard and chuckled: "Hehe, this time I went to Yongcheng, but the bastard can feast his eyes and gain more knowledge." ”

Li Chao grinned and immediately ran into the distance.

The sun sets, and the distant mountains are faint.

A group of ten people came west from Fenyang Town, trekked through mountains and rivers for several hours, and finally arrived at Yuzhen in the evening.

Yuzhen is only more than 200 miles away from Fenyang Town, and it is also a border town, but the degree of richness is far greater than that of Fenyang Town. The town is located on the side of the official road to the south, and the courtyard of the buildings is close to the mountains and rivers, and the scale alone exceeds that of several Fenyang towns.

The first time he saw a town other than Fenyang Town, Li Chao was curious, sometimes cheering, sometimes looking left and right, his eyes were full of novelty about new things.

And in the crowd, Mu Yusheng has been with a cold face since he left Fenyang Town, and when he saw someone's childish behavior, he couldn't help but snort coldly, "A turtle, I really haven't seen anything in the world!"

When Lin Chao heard this, he immediately stopped, he turned his head and glanced at Mu Yusheng, who was full of disdain, and suddenly snorted inexplicably: "There is always something in the mountains and forests and wilderness, sometimes disturbing people's moods, sometimes sweeping people's interest. ”

Mu Yusheng didn't know what he meant, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Reconciliation?"

At this time, I only heard a faint sound in the distance, on the busy street.

"Don't be a dog to love, a dog barks and a dog barks-"
