Outside the mountain gate, the uncle and nephew walked side by side, Duan Xiyun looked back at this place for two years, and recalled countless ups and downs in his mind.

Xiaoyun took a slow step. Voices came and went from afar.

Duan Xiyun saw his brothers galloping over, his eyes couldn't help but moisten from his heartstrings, and he hurriedly jumped off the horse. Yan Shan took the lead in taking Duan Xiyun's hand: "Xiaoyun, Qingshi and I can't be by your side this time, you must take care of yourself, and you are a disciple of the Shaoyang Sect, but don't forget our two good friends from childhood." ”

"How could I forget you, I will definitely come back to visit you when I am successful in my studies. Duan Xiyun was suspected of saying goodbye, but Yan Shan didn't care, because they knew each other, and they were both men who didn't have to say much.

Cao Qingshi next to her was already crying: "Why didn't you sue me earlier?"

"Master, I also learned this idea in a hurry, everyone is happy to meet in the past few days, I can't open my mouth......" Duan Xiyun saw Qing Shi's more mature and beautiful face, and was even more sad when he was wet with tears of parting grief, which made people feel infinitely pity and feel guilty.

"Do you remember what the three of us said in the wooden car that day?"

"When I remember, I will remember those words for the rest of my life. Duan Xiyun said with a solemn expression and an oath.

"No matter what happens in the future, you must come back to me. Before Cao Qingshi's words full of girlish feelings could be spoken, other disciples had already arrived, including Qinglei, Qingyuan, Qingtong, Yang Zhen and other young disciples......

Qingyuan patted Duan Xiyun on the shoulder and said, "It is indeed a wise move for the master to carefully send you to Shaoyang to learn the arts, and in time you will definitely be able to catch up with Shangguan Rui of the Wen Shi faction." After that, you will be alone in Shaoyang, and you will have to take care of yourself. ”

"Senior Brother Yuan, you also have to take care. At the Wanguan Conference, Duan Xiyun was moved by Qingyuan's noble spirit and admired it, and the relationship between the two was born from this, and they cherished each other when they parted.

And Yang Xin's sense of loss is not lower than others, although the friendship between him and Duan Xiyun is not very deep, but he has a strong dependence on Duan Xiyun in terms of cultivation, he is extremely eager to avenge his family's cultivation, but there are many difficulties on the road, fortunately there is such a powerful and enthusiastic senior brother who can learn swords from time to time, so that his swordsmanship can enter the realm quickly, unfortunately this senior brother is about to leave in an instant, so how can he not be sad, stepped forward and said:" Senior Brother Yun, don't be lazy when you go to Shaoyang Palace, otherwise if you are not careful, I will surpass you. ”

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not lazy, because there's another person I have to catch up, remember that you also have to cultivate diligently, I won't wait for you. Everyone knows that the person in Duan Xiyun's mouth is Shangguan Rui, a person who people can't even think of chasing.

The other disciples also stepped forward to say goodbye.

"You are very precious, and there will be a period later. Duan Xiyun hugged his fists at everyone one by one, and then got on the horse and never looked back, because he knew that if he turned back, he would definitely be difficult to leave.

Everyone stopped at the place and looked at Duan Xiyun's back from a distance, until the familiar figure gradually became smaller, and then completely disappeared into the white mist......

The uncle and nephew have been staying overnight for more than ten days, and they have come to the border of Tianmen County and entered the river from Qingyan Mountain.

Jin Ming was ordered by the head of the family to escort Duan Xiyun to Kunlun, and he was in a hurry along the way, and did not dare to delay at all, but when he passed through Qingyan Mountain, he was deeply attracted by the magnificent natural scenery here, and slowed down his hurried pace.

Here the peaks and valleys, the streams are clear, the shade of the trees covers the sun, the strange peaks stand among the clouds and mist as far as the eye can see, the shape of each mountain peak is strange and strange, such as people and beasts, such as utensils and things, the appearance is very god-like, the peaks compete in the misty and psychedelic clouds and mist, and the momentum is majestic and magnificent.

"The strange peaks are three thousand with smoke and green, and the beautiful water is eight hundred flowers and branches. Jin Ming couldn't help but mutter.

Duan Xiyun was still young and had never gone far away, but now he was in Qingyan Mountain to feel the magnificent beauty of the motherland's mountains and rivers, and his mood became more open, and all his troubles were left behind at this moment, and this trip could be said to be an eye-opener for him.

["Although the country is beautiful, there is only a day and a night, and the years are ruthless and nostalgic. "Ziyang traveled to Qingyan Mountain many times when he was alive, and now he is very emotional to revisit the old place. ]

["Ziyang, what do you mean by this?" Duan Xiyun asked when he saw that he was full of emotion and didn't know the meaning of his words. ]

["Isn't it ridiculous that Emperor Qin and Han Wu have thousands of miles of splendid rivers and mountains but have no long lifespan, and this seat has been in the world for hundreds of years but has not gained anything?" ]

["Is there something wrong?"] Duan Xiyun knew that there must be something unusual about the Ziyang Movement that could make the sky fall calmly. ]

["Such a neat pace, such a large number, is by no means a rabble, and a mighty army is approaching us. ”]

["Army!" Duan Xiyun had only heard about marching and fighting in historical classics and from the mouth of the storyteller, and had never seen a real army with a look of surprise on his face. ]

["Don't worry, you're not a traitor, you haven't formed a rebel, and the army isn't here for you."] "In fact, Ziyang was also surprised in his heart, along the way, the people lived without seeing the beacon smoke, why did the army pass by?"

"Why did Yun'er look flustered?" Jin Ming asked with concern when he saw Duan Xiyun startled, thinking that he was overworked on the road.

"No, no, it's just a little surprising that the scenery is magnificent and spectacular before. Duan Xiyun didn't expect that his conversation with Ziyang would make Uncle Shi notice, and he immediately restrained his abnormal expression.

After walking for a while, Jin Ming also noticed the movement of the people and horses nearby, and immediately became vigilant, and said in a warning accent: "There is a large group of men and horses moving ahead, presumably it is an army going out, we just have to hurry, don't rush into others." ”

Duan Xiyun nodded in agreement, thinking in his heart: "Uncle Shi only realized it at this moment, which proves that Ziyang's ear skills are amazing, far above Uncle Shi. ”

The two continued to move forward for several miles, and when an army came to them on the fork in the road, they saw that the team was waving colorful flags, embroidered ribbons fluttering, the soldiers were bright in armor, the swords and guns were bright, all of them were fierce and fierce than tigers and wolves, the queue was horizontal and vertical, and the advance was orderly.

"People and horses are like tigers descending the mountain, the queue is neat and tidy, and the leader is really handsome and talented!" Jin Ming saw the army's formation and secretly praised the people who led the soldiers.

The people and horses are approaching, the leader is taking the lead, and Jin Ming looks familiar. Seeing that Jin Ming also recognized his identity, the man raised his hand to stop the pace of the team behind him, jumped off the horse and took the initiative to approach.

I saw that the man was nearly forty years old, with beautiful eyebrows and handsome appearance, and Jin Ming also recognized the old man and dismounted: "Brother Xie, don't come unharmed?"

"Brother Jin Ming hasn't seen him for many years, and he is unharmed. ”

The two held hands to reunite with each other.

The person who came was Xie An, a famous man from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. When Jin Ming was young, he liked to travel all over the world, he was proud and righteous, and liked to make friends, so he made friends all over the world. The two have not seen each other for many years and have their own reunion.

Then Jin Ming called Duan Xiyun to come to visit, Xie An also called his nephew to come over to meet, the army came out of a child who was only eleven or twelve years old, with eyes and a clever face, this son was Xie Xuan, the son of Xie An's brother, raised by Xie An, he liked to read military books since he was a child and was very interested in marching and fighting, so this expedition begged hard, Xie An agreed that he would join the army to watch the battle.

The two sides also exchanged names when they met each other.

"Why did Brother Jin Ming appear in this deserted place with his nephew?" Xie An asked casually when he met here.

"It also happened that the senior brother in charge had an order, and ordered Poor Dao to escort this son to Kunlun Mountain Shaoyang Palace to learn art. Passing through this place, it happened that Brother Xie led the troops to pass by, so that they met today. Jin Ming was the most enthusiastic, and when he saw that Xie An seemed to be worried, he asked with concern: "Forgive the poor and talk too much, dare to ask Brother Xie why he went on this expedition?"

"There is a group of bandits headed by Yang Beifu in Huangshi Village, Qingyan Mountain, this road is the traffic artery between Xichuan and Jing and Hunan provinces, they form a party to rob officials and businessmen and property rampantly, and the momentum is growing day by day, some time ago the bandits actually robbed Xichuan to pay tribute to the imperial court, to the government and the opposition were furious, and the saint ordered Xie to lead the elite soldiers to go to suppress the bandits. Xie An knows that Jin Ming is a person, even if it is an important military matter, he is not taboo.

"This mountain is a forest of ancient trees, the flowing water is still around, the mountain is so beautiful, it is an excellent treasure place for quiet leisure, but thieves are rampant, it is really a great scenery. Jin Ming has always been righteous, and he couldn't help but be angry when he heard about injustice.

"Xie Mou's trip is specially to return the elegance of Qingyan Mountain. Xie Anshan was able to use soldiers to deal with the little thief It was not difficult for him, and he said confidently.

"Brother Xie is doing his best for the people, and he can do his best to be greedy, please allow him to go together. Jin Ming also knew that Xie An's army was strict and used soldiers like gods, and it should be more than enough to deal with a few mountain thieves, but the battlefield was strange, and he decided to take care of his friends for the safety of his friends.

"With the help of his brother, Xie is like a tiger with wings, and this time he will definitely be able to return triumphantly. ”

Xie An knew that Jin Ming was enthusiastic, and he liked to help his friends and accepted it gladly, so he did not delay at the moment and immediately ordered the army to move forward.

Along the way, Jin Ming and Xie An were talking about the past, and they didn't have time to pay attention to the people behind them.

Xiao Xie Xuan became very interested in what Jin Ming said just now, and rode a horse to Duan Xiyun's side, with admiration in his eyes, and asked curiously: "Brother Qingyun, you can go to that legendary Shaoyang Sect to learn arts, your cultivation must be very powerful, right?"

"Thanks to the master's favor, I am fortunate to be sponsored to study the Tao in Shaoyang, if I talk about cultivation, there are many disciples of the Qingzi generation who are better than me in the Siyun view. Duan Xiyun felt that Xie Xuan was a little similar to his former self for some reason, not only did he not feel strange, but he also felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

"Why should you be modest, in fact, since I was a child, I also dreamed of being able to worship in the famous cave house to cultivate immortals and learn the Tao, but unfortunately once my uncle's family came to a so-called Taoist master who touched my bones for me, saying that my muscles and bones are ordinary and there is no immortal fate, and I also said that I am not suitable for cultivation and can only enjoy the wealth of the world, since then my uncle only allowed me to study and study literature, and did not allow me to practice law and martial arts. Xie Xuan puffed up his mouth, full of complaints.

"Uncle Jin Ming is full of admiration for Master Xie, presumably your uncle is a great man, he wants you to study literature must have a deep meaning, you should be grateful and obedient to his will to study hard, do not have doubts. Duan Xiyun remembered that his father decided to send him to Siyun Guan that day, and he was resentful of him in his heart, and now he felt guilty when he read it.

"Uncle's intentions, I naturally won't rebel, but I still want to learn a few kung fu after studying, otherwise when I encounter injustices, I have no power to fight and let the villains do evil. Xie Xuan's childlike heart became more and more earnest, but his mind was still clear, and he did not forget to lower his voice for fear of being heard by Xie An in front of him.

"You are right, if you have time, I can teach you the Baiyun Long Fist that thinks all the way, one can strengthen your body, and the other can deal with some small thieves. Duan Xiyun knew that Xie Xuan and himself were similar in heart when they were young, and they were eager to find a famous teacher, learn their skills, and be chivalrous and hoe the strong to help the weak, so in order to make up for their childhood regrets, he readily agreed to the request.

Xie Xuan didn't expect the other party to agree to his request lightly, and he was happy to ......

Soon the army came to a mountain, the mountain is very dangerous, from a distance to see this mountain like a huge lion is not angry but majestic and magnificent, the momentum is magnificent, the people can not help but be amazed.
