"Little Master, if you come here for this matter, then I will not have to go to Sanhe County. Seeing that Li Ge did not answer his question, Song Tiju did not show the slightest displeasure on his face, he took out a small jade bottle from his sleeve and put it on the table, and said, "Ding Yanbing's soul is in this bottle, you can take it." ”

Li Ge picked up the small jade bottle on the table and glanced at it, and then carefully put it into the Qiankun bag. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Song Tiju's words.

"Little Master, I know what you want to ask, there are some things I can tell you clearly. First, I did this salt transportation division because of the acquiescence of the national teacher. Second, you came here today to retrieve the remnants of Ding Yanbing, and now I will give it to you too. So go out of your own way now. ”

"Farewell!" Li Ge's face froze when he heard this, and he left the room after replying. The purpose of his coming here was not a business, and as far as he was concerned, the purpose of coming to Guo County had now been achieved.

That night, he found an inn in the county seat of Guoxian County and stayed there, and rushed back to Sanhu County early the next morning. Although he thought about his uncle, when he remembered that his master had said: "Today, Emperor Jiajing does not ask about the government and politics, and is dedicated to cultivating mysteries and seeking immortality every day. Thinking of this, Li Ge didn't think much about it.

The small jade bottle given by Song Tiju was indeed filled with the remnant soul of Ding Yanbing, and after Li Ge returned to Sanhe County, he cured his crazy uncle and went home with Li Yunlong.

After a short reunion, they ushered in a farewell, and in the early morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, after Li Ge said goodbye to his family, he set off for Jiangning alone. Finally, on the afternoon of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, he stepped into the thaumaturgical pavilion again.

Without admiring the plum blossoms along the road, Li Ge ran quickly to the small wooden building where he and his master lived, and when he reached the front of the building, he shouted "Master~" to the building with the door closed, and then pushed open the door and walked in.

The room was empty, and no one answered, Li Ge sighed, walked to the room where the master lived, pushed open the door and took a look, the bed was empty, obviously the master had not returned.

"It seems that Master and Aunt Xuanying haven't come yet. Li Ge muttered to himself, then walked back to his room and put down his baggage, and then went out of the house to find Jiang Haotian.

"Hey~ Master Xiao Li, your master and apprentice are back. After Jiang Haotian saw Li Ge, he eagerly welcomed him into the house.

"My master hasn't arrived yet. After Li Ge entered the house, he chatted with Jiang Haotian for a while, and when it was dark, after the two had dinner together, Li Ge walked to the residence.

The plum grove on the second side of the road was full of snow, and the plum blossoms overflowed with a faint fragrance, and Li Ge walked along the path, remembering that on this day last year, the master took him to the thaumaturgical pavilion for the first time.

During the year, he experienced some things and met some people. Now, he has gradually become accustomed to living here with Master.

After living here alone for three days, on the afternoon of the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, when he was sitting in the hall in a daze, an old Taoist priest with crane hair in a gray coarse sermon robe walked in.

"Little rabbit cub, why are you sitting there stupidly, pretending to be a statue?" The old Taoist priest carried a big burden of the same color, stood at the door and glanced at Li Ge, then went straight into the house and put the burden on the table.

"Master~ You're back. When Li Ge saw the old Taoist, his sluggish expression immediately showed a smile, he got up and walked to Lai Laodao's side, touched the back of his head and let out two smirks.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, you kid is getting more and more stupid. Lai Laodao raised his hand and flicked a finger on the apprentice's head, and then walked to the stove in the hall and sat down to warm his hands.

"Old thing, if I'm really stupid, I'll be stupid by you. Li Ge rubbed his head and cursed secretly, and then walked to the master's side and sat down, "By the way, Master, you came with Aunt Xuanying, right?"

"What, miss Yurou's little girl?" Lai Laodao rubbed his hands by the stove and teased him jokingly.

"I don't have anything to do with her, how can I think of her, it's just a casual ask. By the way, Master, how many days have you spent here from Lingnan?" Li Ge shook his head and diverted the topic.

"Oh~ That girl has something for me to pass on to you, since you have nothing to do with her, then I won't give it to you. Lai Laodao glanced at the apprentice, his face changed, and he flicked his finger on the apprentice's head at the next time, and reprimanded, "Lao Tzu has been on the road for a few days, he is cold and hungry, and he has been sitting in the house for so long, you don't know how to pour me a cup of hot tea?"

"I'll go and pour it now. Li Ge poured a cup of hot tea with an aggrieved face and handed it to Master, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what do you want Yurou to pass on to me? ”

"It's in my baggage, you can go through it yourself. Lai Laodao took the teacup and nodded his head to his burden.

"Oh~" The apprentice sighed, walked to the table and opened the baggage, only to see a pair of new black boots on top of the line.

"It's those boots, which the girl sewed during the Chinese New Year, and she said she measured the size of your feet, so you should wear them properly. Lai Laodao saw the apprentice standing at the table with his boots in a daze, and smiled slightly: "What are you doing standing there?" ”

"Hmm~" The apprentice smiled and nodded, sat next to the master, took off his shoes and tried them on. After putting it in, Li Ge happily looked at the shoes and said with a smile, "It fits very well, Master." ”

"Haha~ Okay, just be suitable. Lai Laodao laughed for a while, and then said, "Yurou, that girl is still quite interested in you little boy." ”

Li Ge took off his new shoes and held them in his arms, stared blankly at the fire, and replied softly, "She just treats me as a good friend, Master, don't think crookedly." ”

"Want to be crooked?haha~" Lai Laodao held the teacup and looked at the apprentice beside him and said, "The life of our cultivators is mostly five disadvantages and three deficiencies, and the father and mother are the wife and children, so the average cultivator is alone. But you're different, you're not destined for the world, so if you can meet someone you love on another day, you don't have to worry too much. ”

"Got it, Master. Li Ge nodded in response.

"By the way, Ge'er, are your parents and Lin'er okay? Have you gone back to the Foggy Mountain to have a look? How are the stupid snakes and stupid tigers doing?

"My parents and Lin'er are very good, Master, you don't have to worry, I have also been back to the Wushan Mountain, Dabai and Dabao, and our bamboo building in the Lost Guilin are also very good, I also want to live in the mountain for a few days when we go back together this year." ”

"Okay~ as long as they're fine. When Lai Laodao heard this, he looked at the fire with confused eyes and replied, his tone was full of melancholy and feelings. After a pause, he added, "Did you encounter anything interesting when you went home this time?"

"Yes, Master, let me tell you, I ...... go home this time" The apprentice sat down with the master and told him what happened this time when he went home, and at the end, he turned his head to look at the master who was listening quietly.
