When darkness descended on this towering mountain, above the sky, a cold moon sprinkled clear light.

The continuous light rain for many days made the mountain road extremely humid in the forest, and a trace of mist shrouded the mountain surface.

In a forest, in the shadows, Lin Pinghe walked out slowly, and there was silence all around.

This place is the back mountain of Nanhua, and there are guards on duty and patrolling every day, however, Lin Pinghe's current cultivation is naturally easy to avoid some moves during the Qi training period.

The mausoleums in the back mountains are scattered, even if the invisible dead air wanders, and some of them cannot be said to be holy because of the installation of special formations.

Somewhere in the back mountain, a small bead was buried, and the young man shrouded the formation on it, feeling that everything was properly arranged, and left a sentence in a low voice: "Invincible, waiting for your return." Then he quietly retreated.

........

The top of Nanhua Mountain.

Vice President Qin suddenly opened his eyes, his face was weird, half loud, he shook his beard, and slowly spit out a sentence angrily and helplessly: "It's really unscrupulous!"

........

Not far from the mountainside cave outside the house.

Wang Yangdao's face was gloomy, standing in the night breeze with his hands in his hands, looking at the vague foot of the mountain from afar, and said to himself coldly: "This didn't kill you, what hole cards do you have......"

........

Time flies, like a white horse passing by, and in a blink of an eye, nearly a year has passed.

The disappearance of the former treasure of Nanhua Academy has become accustomed to everyone.

Lin Pinghe also resumed a period of calm cultivation, quietly waiting on the mountain for Lin Wushu to succeed in entering the ghost path.

Somewhere in the mountains.

Lin Pinghe and Guo Han walked side by side, climbing the ladder.

Guo Han lowered his head and glanced at the ground of the stone steps a few times, and said with a smile: "Pinghe, you haven't swept the floor seriously recently, look at the ground, it is all ruined and withered petals." ”

Lin Pinghe sniffed slightly, and said lightly: "You smell it...... Scattered into mud and dust, only fragrant as before. I don't want to sweep it too clean, for fear that I will waste this good flower and sweep away their beautiful extension in this world. ”

Guo Han's pace slowed slightly.

Lin Pinghe was puzzled and looked back.

I saw a pair of bright autumn pupils rippling with a soft smile lingering on Lin Pinghe's face, making Lin Pinghe feel like bathing in the spring breeze, and in the gentleness, there was also a hint of laughter and restraint.

Lin Pinghe knew that he was a little pretentious just now, and praised the humanity in front of him: "His eyes are like stars, and his eyebrows are like the moon......"

"Okay, there are a lot of people, and there are many mouths, you pay attention!" Guo Han interrupted with a smile, he didn't notice the word "moon hook", the moon in the holy world will only be round.

Lin Pinghe stopped touting and asked curiously, "Why is the Lord of Yang Caige Hall interested in calling me today." ”

"I guess I just want to meet you, the thorn in the gray robe. ”

......

The two talked and laughed, and after a while, they came to a courtyard of the music hall.

Here, Guo Han naturally recognized the way and took Lin Pinghe directly into the courtyard.

Just step in, the small courtyard is quiet and quiet as if in the deep mountains, along the way, the bamboo forest, the rockery, the clear spring and flowing water, a cool breeze hit, mixed with a faint fragrance of flowers.

After turning a bunch of rockery bamboo forests and crossing a sea of swaying flowers along the bluestone road, Lin Pinghe couldn't help but say: "This courtyard looks very small outside......

Guo Han also said: "Seeing is true." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling that the trip was worthwhile.

At this moment, after turning the corner, an elegant living room-like building appeared.

Guo Han's eyes lit up and reminded: "It's just ahead." ”

Lin Pinghe followed and entered the hall directly.

The master of the music hall sensed them coming early, sat on the main seat, and smiled faintly and motioned for the two to sit down.

Yang Caige is still the same, the years seem to have left no traces on her face, she is still about thirty years old, wearing a pale green robe, pulling Bisi into a bun, inserting a hanging phoenix hairpin, and her simple outfit reveals a dusty temperament, she is really a woman standing at the height of the world.

There are six cross-knee cushions and small tables arranged on the left and right sides of the hall at a time, and after Lin Pinghe and Guo Han saluted, they sat down on the right side in turn, and there was a small tea on each table.

Yang Caige took the lead with a gentle face and said to Guo Han: "This time, I asked you to bring Lin Pinghe here, I don't mean anything else, I just want to talk to him briefly." ”

I don't know if it's Lin Pinghe's illusion, he always feels that although the woman is talking to Guo Han, her eyes are always on herself. However, the decoration of this place is really tasteful, so many years, it is still rare to see anyone who has such an elegant and comfortable interior decoration, the first time I came here, there was a feeling of long-term residence.

Guo Han nodded, turned his head and saw the absent-minded Lin Pinghe, coughed lightly, and gestured slightly.

Yang Caige noticed Guo Han's small movements, but he didn't care, gently raised the small teacup, raised his head slightly and took a sip of water, revealing a white neck like a swan, and the whole house seemed to be infected by his gentle and elegant state.

Lin Pinghe didn't hear their conversation, came back to his senses, and said to Yang Caige: "Yang Hall Lord is here, what's the matter?"

Yang Caige put down the teacup and said with a smile: "No need to be formal, except for meeting you in the Wendian at the beginning, I haven't talked to you properly, thinking that if I am free today, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day." ”

Lin Pinghe put down his hand and listened quietly.

"Lin Pinghe, what do you think of Nanhua Academy?" Yang Caige paused and suddenly asked.

Lin Pinghe didn't know how to answer, it was too general, and with his intuition, he said vaguely: "Hao Hao Tang Tang." ”

"Oh, what kind of soup?" Yang Caige said deeply.

Lin Pinghe said: "The water of the Qinghe River makes people feel that it is a soup. Facing the hall masters, there is the breath of Haohao soup. The emergence of talents in the academy is endless, which makes people feel that there is a lot of soup. Out of the mountains to experience, the people regard the academy as a vast soup......"

Guo Han sat quietly, listening to Lin Pinghe talking with Yang Caige, and gradually, his eyes rolled, as if he understood something, but ...... Vice President Qin may not necessarily agree.

Lin Pinghe said that his mouth was a little dry, he picked up the tea and took a sip, and between the questions and answers, the tea turned a little cold.

Yang Caige said: "This tea is a little cold, but it has a different flavor when it is cold." ”

Lin Pinghe didn't really care about the taste of tea, just quenching his thirst, but cooperated: "It's indeed delicious, comparable to heavenly nectar." ”

"Is that so? Lin Pinghe, have you ever drunk heavenly nectar?"

Lin Pinghe almost choked on a mouthful of water, what is this called? But he still admired: "The heavenly nectar makes my heart fascinated. Now this cold tea, fragrant but not greasy, elegant but tasteless, between the lips and teeth are enjoyment, after drinking, I want to drink again, the same heart is fascinated, naturally the same heavenly nectar. ”

Guo Han smiled knowingly, and was talking nonsense again. Then, turning his head and seeing Yang Caige nodding to himself, it seemed that the hall master had talked enough, and he should be satisfied.

Guo Han got up and said, "Hall Master, it's not early today, it's inconvenient to continue to disturb the Hall Master Qingxiu, and we should also leave." ”

Yang Caige nodded and said, "There's nothing to disturb, I happened to be a little bored in the academy recently, you two can come and talk to me if you have nothing to do, strange people and strange things, practice Taoism and practice, it's okay!"

Lin Pinghe also got up and said, "Hall Master Yang, thank you for your hospitality, I will definitely come and sit next time I have time!"

......

On the way out, Lin Pinghe felt a little more relaxed, Yang Caige shouted that he was chatting nonsense, why is this?

Guo Han smiled lightly: "Don't you understand?"

"Understand what?"

"Hall Master Yang has taken a fancy to you. ”

Lin Pinghe was shocked and said incredulously: "How big is Hall Master Yang, it's not suitable, right?"

Guo Han glanced at him and said: "I think too much, she wants to test you to enter the Le Palace, if you are willing, I think the Yang Hall Master should pay some price in exchange for Vice Dean Qin's concessions." ”

Lin Pinghe suddenly, Yang Caige's vision is naturally there, not long ago, his cultivation has already entered the foundation building period, far beyond the students of the same period, the body surface aura is contained, as a monk in the Jindan period, it is not strange to feel it.

In the academy, the bachelors who have reached the foundation building period will have a second chance to choose, but the binding force is very small, and they can continue to stay in the branch hall where they are located, they can leave the original branch hall and be free and free to do not care about mundane affairs, and they can also join a new branch hall, of course, this category is relatively rare.

The competition for resources exists at all levels of the academy, including the hall master, and the power of the bachelors is also the basis for them to allocate resources.

Lin Pinghe said strangely: "Could it be that the Lord of the Luo Minghua Hall has done something recently that has stimulated the Lord of the Yang Palace?

Guo Han always felt that it was not good to be so self-selling and boasting, but he couldn't refute it, so he said noncommittally: "Maybe, what do you think?

Lin Pinghe suddenly thought of the old man Zhang Fuxiang, pondered for a moment, sighed and said, "No need, Vice President Qin let go, it should be a short time." ”

Guo Han blinked and looked at the young man.

Lin Pinghe continued: "At the beginning, I had an adventure in Lingbi, which was related to the inheritance of the academy, and Vice Dean Qin wanted me to be low-key and transparent for a few years, so they threw it down and arranged to sweep the floor. ”

Guo Han looked like this, and echoed: "That's right, the level is high, there are indeed many opportunities to communicate with other sects, and it is indeed not safe to expose your cultivation speed too early." ”

Lin Pinghe walked out of the courtyard, went down the mountain, looked at the sky, and couldn't help but say, "It's late autumn again!"

The autumn afternoon sun was a little lazy, and a ginkgo tree slowly fell a brown leaf, Guo Han reached out to catch it, put it in his palm, and couldn't help but smile back.

The golden eyes were sprinkled on her, and Bai Meisheng ......

Lin Pinghe felt a little intoxicated, as if the softness of this late autumn was a little illusory and unreal.

........

"Don't be in a daze, what do you think?" Guo Han asked with a funny tilt of his head.

Lin Pinghe came back to his senses, and suddenly said, "I want to protect ......."

"Protect what?"

"You ......"

Guo Han's heart was sweet, and he said with a smile: "It's not easy to protect me, but you have to work hard to continue practicing!"

"Yes!"

The mountain trail is full of gold, and the two young figures are hazy and dreamlike.

Accompanied by the wind, there was a brisk conversation:

"Pinghe, your alchemy refiner is so powerful!"

"It's okay. ”

"Then you have time to teach me. ”

"No......"

"Why!?"

"Women's alchemy refiners age quickly, and they are easy to become rough, think about the master of the Luo Hall of the Medical Palace, and the men of the Military Palace......"

"Haha, you keep your voice quiet, and be heard by the people in the Soldier Hall of the Other Medical Palace...... Then you can teach me how to draw talismans!"

"Well, that's ......"
