The catkins follow the wind, and the peach blossoms chase the water.

What is that man chasing? fame, profit, power, or something else?

On the ancient road, a horse-drawn carriage is like a butterfly chasing flowers, looking at the scenery on the side of the road, and moving forward unhurriedly.

It was not the first time he had ridden in a carriage, but it was the first time he had sat in the driver's seat.

Bai Cheng was driving this carriage to Qingyang Mansion, and Xiao Wan was sitting in the carriage, holding her head in both hands, her eyes blinking at you, and she looked at Bai Cheng motionlessly.

Since the battle between the Dao Masters of Qingyang Mansion ended a few days ago, Bai Cheng went to the Nine Immortals Temple to find Xiao Wan, explained the reason, and planned to send her home, but Xiao Wan felt that the scenery in the mountains was pleasant and was reluctant to leave.

Bai Cheng was helpless, so he accompanied her again, watched the scenery in the mountains for a few days, and only sent her back today.

Bai Cheng was catching the train in front, Xiao Wan suddenly stretched her little head out of the carriage, and asked softly: "Brother Bai, if you send me back this time, will you come to see me in the future?"

Bai Cheng didn't look back, and said loudly: "I have been living in the Nine Immortals Temple for the past few days, as long as I enter the city, I will go to see you at home." ”

Xiao Wan paused, and then asked, "Then what about after that, are you going to leave the Nine Immortals Temple?"

Bai Cheng thought for a while and said, "After a while, I still have something to do, and I have to leave Qingyang Mansion for a while." As for the future, I will definitely come back to the Nine Immortals Temple, but I may not live in the temple for a long time. ”

Xiao Wan hurriedly said: "Although the Nine Immortals Temple is clean, it is also very boring, if you come back, you might as well go to my small courtyard to stay for two days, the city will be more lively." ”

Bai Cheng nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll go to your house to eat and drink when the time comes." ”

Xiao Wan chuckled and sat back in the carriage.

Although the carriage was slow, it had arrived outside the city of Qingyangfu after most of the day, entered through the north gate, passed through the streets and alleys, and returned to the Cui family's house after a short period of effort.

Bai Cheng gently pulled the reins of the horse, and the carriage slowly stopped, and before it could stop, Xiao Wan had already jumped out of the carriage, pushed open the courtyard door, and ran towards the courtyard in a bouncing manner.

Although Xiao Wan is not very old, she has always been steady, and she is so flustered today, I am afraid that she has been away from home for a long time, and she misses her family, so Bai Cheng followed her and slowly walked into the courtyard.

Walking into the courtyard gate, the second child of the Cui family was drinking tea in the courtyard, and several brothers of the Gao family sat in a circle to enjoy the coolness, not knowing what they were talking about, but they were also chatting happily.

Seeing Baicheng come in, Cui Boyuan and the Gao family brothers were all surprised and happy, hurriedly stood up, greeted him and said, "Shiyi Lang hasn't been seen for a long time, why did he only come back today?"

Since Bai Cheng went south, he has seen many characters, but most of them are scheming people, but although these people are rude, they are sincere, and they smiled at the moment: "The younger brother had an urgent matter a few days ago, and he went out for a trip, so I don't have time to tell you, the second brother and several brothers are idle, and it's good lately." ”

Cui Boyuan scratched his head and said: "In recent days, I have not only been idle, but I am simply idle and extremely boring. A few days ago, Hall Master Zhang asked a few of us to go out and do something. Unexpectedly, when we came back, Hall Master Zhang was also gone, and Patriarch Lu was also dead, listening to Liu Ji, who was the gatekeeper, said that Hall Master Zhang explained when he left, and in a few days, the Nine Immortals Temple would send someone to take over the Xuangui Hall, and he didn't know what would happen in the future. ”

The brothers of the Gao family followed and said: "It is said that the Gaojiazhai side is too, Tianlongmen has been occupied for a few days and left, and now no one cares, and there is also Niutouzhai side, all waiting for the people of the Nine Immortals Temple to take over." ”

Bai Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, do you plan to continue to work in the Daomen, or do you want to make a different living?"

Several people glanced at each other and said: "A few of us have no other skills, although we have made a lot of money this time, but it is not easy to sit and eat empty, if we can continue to fight in the Daomen, it is naturally the best." ”

Bai Cheng said: "Don't hide it from a few brothers, junior brother, I also have a bit of thin noodles in the Nine Immortals Temple, so let's wait for the people of the Nine Immortals Temple to take over, you go to find a Taoist boy named Jiuru, and let him arrange a few jobs for you, and let the Yue Dao people let you go." ”

Several people were overjoyed when they heard this, and they were all very grateful.

Several people were talking in the courtyard, and the Cui family and his wife suddenly walked out of the main hall with Xiaowan. Cui Lao came to Baicheng a few steps and was about to bow down.

Bai Cheng was shocked, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pick him up, and said, "Why should Elder Cui be like this, at a young age, how can he deserve it, wouldn't he be tormented." ”

The old man surnamed Cui said repeatedly: "How can I not be? If it weren't for the little brother helping the eldest of my family, how could he be blessed to marry a young lady from Wu Yuan's foreign family." ”

Bai Cheng said with a smile: "That's all Big Brother Cui's ability, it's just a boat pushing down the river." ”

After a few pleasantries, Bai Cheng excused himself to pack his luggage and returned to the house in the backyard.

After entering the door, Bai Cheng saw that the items in the house had not moved, and stretched out his hand to the ground to make a move, a copy of "Thunder Puhua All Things Life and Death Sutra" had appeared in his hand out of thin air, last time he buried the scriptures and had to pry open the green bricks, this time he practiced the flying dragon to explore the clouds, as long as he used this martial art, he didn't need to spend this effort.

After packing the scriptures close to his body, Bai Cheng took up his burden, looked around and saw that there was nothing left to bring, so he returned to the courtyard, and saw at a glance the cart of mountain goods that he had changed from Ma Jiulang, which was still piled up on the car, smiled, and turned to leave.

Walking back to the front yard, the Cui family and Xiao Wan had gone back to the house, and the brothers of the Gao family were nowhere to be seen, only Cui Boyuan was still in the courtyard, he saw Bai Cheng carrying a burden at a glance, and knew that he was leaving, so he hurriedly asked, "Brother, are you leaving?"

Bai Cheng nodded and said, "The junior brother has been bothering here for many days, and it's time to leave." ”

Cui Boyuan sighed and said: "Brother, the second brother knows that you are not an ordinary person, as the saying goes, dragons do not live with snakes, this truth is still understood by the second brother, but you and I are commensurate with each other, can you tell the second brother your real name?"

Bai Cheng smiled and said: "What is the second brother talking about, what dragon, what snake, we are just a common man in heaven and earth, the younger brother's surname is Bai, and his single name is a city character." If the eldest brother has nothing to do in the future, he can look for the younger brother in the Nine Immortals Temple. ”

Cui Boyuan nodded and said, "I wrote it down." Actually, I'm just fine, it's just small."

Seeing that Cui Boyuan was still going to speak, Bai Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, don't say more, take good care of your parents, eldest brother and Xiaowan at home, and we'll meet again in the future." ”

With that, Bai Cheng pushed the door and left.

Cui Boyuan stood in the door, a little stunned.

Bai Cheng stepped into the carriage, drove out of the alley, walked along the street for a while, and when he was about to leave the city, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Have you made up your mind to go with me?"

Before the words fell, a big man opened the curtain, got out of the carriage, and said, "The villain is willing to follow the altar master!"

Bai Cheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard him call him like this, and then reacted, it was he who reminded himself not to forget the promise he made in Gaojiazhai, and scolded with a smile: "The six brothers of the Gao family, you are thoughtful, don't worry, since I have agreed, I will naturally give you an explanation, but when you leave, aren't the other people in a hurry?" ”

This big man is Gao Huan, one of the six brothers of the Gao family, and when he saw Bai Cheng agreeing, his face was full of joy, and he said: "I have left a letter for my eldest brother, and they will know it at a glance." Since the altar master is willing to take me in, the villain is willing to follow the altar master in this life, even if he can break through the sword mountain and the sea of fire!"

Bai Cheng shook his head and said, "I hope I won't go into any swords and fires in my life!"
