After returning from the Maoshan faction, Mao Zheng has been preparing for going north to Bianjing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 It is a happy thing to take the Zhongxiang test, looking at the happy smiles of Wen Xiaohui and Wen Yuan, Mao Zheng is also very happy. But about to leave Dongshan, where he grew up since childhood, Mao Zheng is still a little sad.

Mao Zheng didn't understand how this sadness came from, he just wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry at all. It is said that every child who is about to grow up will have this feeling of wanting to cry but not being able to cry.

Maybe leaving his shelter and about to bear the ups and downs of the road ahead alone made Mao Zheng feel a sense of powerlessness, so he wanted to cry, and because he began to take responsibility on his shoulders and his unyielding heart made him choose to be strong, so he didn't cry.

The road ahead is always beyond sight, no matter how far you go, no matter how tired you are, the horizon is still on the horizon. But there is one thing that can be seen clearly at all times, and that is a person's heart. As long as you don't deceive yourself, even if the road ahead is blank, you will never lose your way.

And Mao Zheng knows his heart very well, at least very clearly.

The sunset is slanting in the west, and the golden red light pulls the shadows of the mountains into the old place, and the forest where Mao Zheng often comes has become much darker.

Stroking Jingruo using mana to conjure up tables, chairs and canopies, looking at the sky that had already revealed a little gloomy, Mao Zheng waited quietly.

The trees in the south of the Yangtze River are evergreen all year round, but there are still dry leaves that are blown down in the autumn wind, and one of them happens to fall into Mao Zheng's outstretched hand.

"Mao Zheng, you're looking for me again? Recently, you've been looking for me diligently, but I like it very much. Accompanied by a pleasant voice, that beautiful shadow also appeared in front of Mao Zheng's eyes.

Mao Zheng gently closed his hand, held the dead leaves in his hand, and then said with a smile: "I can see you often, in fact, I like it very much." But I'm going to Bianjing soon, and I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for a long time. I'm here to say goodbye to you this time, because I'm leaving tomorrow. ”

"Are you leaving tomorrow? Why so fast. Well, but it's nothing, it's too cold in winter, and I usually just sleep. When I wake up, it's spring, and when spring comes, it's time for you to come back. Jingruo thought for a moment, and then said happily.

"You've slept long enough, be careful that you sleep too hard and let the leopard catch you. Mao Zheng was amused by Jingruo, so he said jokingly.

"The place where I sleep is so secret that the leopard can't find it. What's more, my mana has increased a lot now, and even if I meet a leopard, it won't be the same as before. Jingruo said with a small pout.

"That's good, I'm leaving, and when you meet the leopard, I won't come to help you. Mao Zheng looked at Jingruo and said gently, then said after a little contemplation: "If the spring exam goes well this time, I will be able to come back next spring." But if I fail in the exam, I'm afraid we won't see each other for three years. ”

"You're so smart, you're sure you'll be able to get in. I'm just afraid that you will fail the exam and fail to be the champion. Jingruo blinked and said innocently.

Mao Zheng looked at Jingruo, who was still happy, and the slight unhappiness in his heart was swept away, and with a little force in his hand, the dead leaves turned into fragments and scattered where it should be.

"How can it be so easy to get the top prize? I didn't even get the first place in the township examination. But with your good words, I'll do my best. On the occasion of parting, I have a gift for you, do you like this piece of jade?" Mao Zheng said with a smile on his face, and put the jade in his arms in front of Jingruo.

"This jadeite is so beautiful, and the aura is so abundant, where did you find it? Do you really want to give it to me?" Jingruo said with surprise when she saw the jadeite and immediately felt the strangeness of the jadeite.

"This was given to me by the spirit handle of the Maoshan Sect. He said that by wearing this piece of jade, he would be able to prevent all evils from invading, and he would be able to speed up the cultivation process. I think your mana is so weak, I might as well give it to you to help you cultivate. Mao Zheng said with a smile.

"Hmph, my mana is not weak. However, with this jadeite, it can really speed up my cultivation. You've been telling me all the time about how nice the outside world is. I really want to cultivate and then go out into the outside world to see. Jingruo took the jade and said.

"I'm sure you'll soon be able to get out of this forest and out into the world. Mao Zheng saw that Jingruo liked this jade very much, and his heart was also comfortable.

Jingruo couldn't put it down and played with the jadeite, but when she raised her eyes to look at Mao Zheng, she hesitated in her heart and handed the jade back.

"Don't you like it very much? Why do you want to hand it back? Mao Zheng asked puzzled.

"As much as I wanted this jadeite, I thought that if you go outside, you will definitely encounter a lot of evil spirits. Maybe you need the protection of this piece of jadeite more than I do. Jingruo said with a wink.

"You don't have to worry about that. My heart is open-minded, and when I walk in the world, there is nothing to fear; my heart is clear, how can any evil evil way harm me? But if there is a righteous spirit, when they encounter evil demons and foreign ways, they should be afraid. If you don't have a righteous spirit, even if you have a body full of treasures, you can't prevent it. Mao Zheng patted his chest and said with his head held high.

"Is this really okay? I'm afraid you're in danger, and I'll never see you again. Jingruo said with a little concern.

"Jingruo knows what? Even if I am admitted to the Jinshi, I will have to go elsewhere to become an official in the future. If you can't achieve success, I'm afraid we'll be separated for a long time. I also have selfish intentions to give you jadeite, because I don't want to see you for many years. Mao Zheng said.

Jingruo listened to Mao Zheng's words, her heart was warm, she looked up at Mao Zheng, and found that the gentleness in his eyes was a little unusual. Jingruo didn't know what this tenderness was, but she understood that she definitely didn't want to live up to it.

"Don't worry, I will definitely cultivate well. When you come back in the future, I will definitely be able to walk with you in the outside world without letting others notice anything abnormal. Jingruo said.

"It's not early, I'll leave too, otherwise Our Lady and Wen Yuan will worry about me. I look forward to seeing you next time. Mao Zheng finally took a deep look at Jingruo, and then turned to leave.

Walking to the edge of the forest, Mao Zheng glanced back into the depths of the forest. With the last light, Mao Zheng saw the prosperity of the trees. How unusual it was for the trees to bloom in late autumn, and he knew it was a farewell gift.

"When you have the appearance of a human being and can act the way of a human being, then you should be able to be called a real person. I hope that the next time we meet, my intentions will disappear. Otherwise, I really can't face an 'alien'. ”

Mao Zheng thought about it and turned his head back and left the place that brought him happiness for three years.
