After staying in the Qingyin Pavilion for a few days, it was finally time to leave, early this morning, Liu Min woke up Yi Xiaotian, and after simply cleaning up, he led Yi Xiaotian to the west, needless to say, Wen Youer naturally followed all the way.

Yi Xiaotian learned from Liu Min that the place he was going to was called Lijia Village, located in a place called Hong Chunping fifteen miles away from the mountain west of Qingyin Pavilion, it is said that the local macaques are infested in groups, which is quite disturbing, and the Qing cultivation disciples in the Emei faction are unwilling to go here to live and practice, there are only seven or eight mountain people living together, and because most of them are surnamed Li, it is called Lijia Village.

Out of the Qingyin Pavilion to the west for a few miles, the mountain road is tortuous and steep, after entering a pass, the mountains on both sides are steeply close to the middle, squeezing the winding path to only four or five feet wide, Liu Min in front, Yi Xiaotian followed, Wen You'er was bumpy and jumped excitedly at the end.

With Wen You'er, it was the first time in his life that he saw such a scene, Yi Xiaotian was also very excited, walking and stopping all the way, watching everywhere.

Look at the canyon below, a turbulent water meanders, the water is blue and black, and the white waves are rolling, coming from the endless place, flowing to the endless place. Looking at the sky overhead, the openness and brightness before entering the canyon are gone, and only two dangerous cliffs remain, like a giant axe splitting open, obliquely inserting the clouds into the sky, through the dense vines, branches and leaf tips, only revealing a line of blue sky. Finally, look at the plank road at the foot again, as if suspended between the water and the sky, the waterfalls on both sides of the way roar, the strange rocks are grandiose, turn along the stream peak loop, with the change of the width of the mountain, only two feet to the extremely narrow place, only allow one person to pass sideways.

"Black ...... Dragon...... Feilan, Qingming...... One...... line", Yi Xiaotian was quite interested in the blurred two lines of words on the wall before he stopped on a cliff. Liu Min, who was walking in front, simply beckoned the two to stop and rest for a while, and he turned his back to look up at the sky, not looking at the stone inscription, and said slowly for a while: "The stream below is the Heilongjiang River, and the canyon here is called Baiyun Gorge, which is commonly known as a line of sky." There seemed to be some complicated feelings in the words, and I don't know if it was for Yi Xiaotian or Wen You'er, or if it was just talking to myself.

Along the way, the mountain rises and falls, the three of them climb all the way down the hill, walk until noon, climb the last short steep staircase, and suddenly open up in front of them, only to see that the terrain here is flat, the verdant lawn extends to the place where the eye can see, not far away, several green tile roofs gathered together.

Walking into the village on a dirt road, a middle-aged man dressed as a woodcutter was already waiting at the entrance of the village, with a black scimitar at his waist, placing a flat pole between two bundles of firewood, and sitting on it. Seeing the three approaching, the middle-aged man quickly stood up with a smile, bent down slightly and saluted with fists: "There is Lao Liu Min Immortal Gu who made a special trip, come and come, hurry back to the house with me, eat first, eat first." ”

Liu Min nodded, greeted Yi Xiaotian and Wen You'er, and followed the middle-aged man into the village. There are only seven or eight blue-tiled earthen houses in the village, lined up in two rows on both sides of the dirt road, and when they reach the innermost one, the middle-aged man shouts at the top of his voice: "Old woman, the fairy aunt has arrived!"

"Aunt Liu, please sit down, yo! Look at how handsome these two babies are! Hungry, are you hungry? Sit down, sit down, Auntie will go and give you a hot meal." The middle-aged woman couldn't help but reach out and touch Yi Xiaotian's head, smiled and beckoned Liu Min and the two children to sit down at the dining table.

The five of them ate happily at one table, especially Wen You'er and Yi Xiaotian, who were even more devoured, presumably tired of eating the light diet in the Qingyin Pavilion, and eating this roast chicken was like a hungry tiger. Liu Min also smiled rarely, and introduced to the two children: "Xiaotian, You'er, don't know how to eat, I haven't thanked Uncle Li and Aunt Li first, hehe." It turns out that this middle-aged man's surname is Li, and he is quite prestigious in this Li family village, and most of the people in the village make a living by farming and hunting, but this Uncle Li and Aunt Li are especially good at making wine, and they often send some wine to the Emei faction on weekdays, in exchange for some copper coins to buy biological things.

"Don't tight, don't tight, it's good for the baby to eat well, okay, okay. Aunt Li smiled from ear to ear, and kept putting vegetables in the bowls of Yi Xiaotian and Wen You'er. Uncle Li also smiled, poured two bowls of home-brewed sake, and handed Liu Min a bowl: "Immortal aunt, try this year's new bamboo wine, you can get used to it." ”

Liu Min took a sip of the bowl: "Very good, very good, Uncle Li's wine, the entrance is slightly bitter, but the aftertaste is a faint bamboo fragrance lingering, and it will not disperse for a long time, which is indeed extraordinary." ”

Uncle Li smiled even happier, and said a little proudly: "Xian Gu is indeed an expert in wine, my old Li family's ancestors have ten secret recipes for winemaking, nine of which are familiar to the old man, and only the last coconut wine is left, but it is suffering from raw materials and cannot be satisfied." "This Uncle Li originally lived in the South China Sea, but when his grandfather was in his generation, he migrated here by mistake and became a mountain citizen of Emei, so naturally he had no chance with the coconut.

The meal was also eaten for nearly an hour, Liu Min looked at the sky, and then got up and pulled Wen You'er to say goodbye to Uncle Li and Aunt Li and prepare to return. Wen You'er hugged Yi Xiaotian's neck and was reluctant, crying and repeatedly begging Yi Xiaotian to go down the mountain to see each other often.

Yi Xiaotian hugged Wen You'er tightly for a while, and smiled: "Silly sister, you will go back with Liu Min Immortal Gu for a good life, you must practice diligently, and when you have to learn the skills of Master Shui Yi, you will go from the Qingyin Pavilion to Lijia Village in the clouds, and you can see each other at any time, why do you need your brother to run more than ten miles of mountain roads to find you?"

Wen You'er rubbed her eyes, and could see that she also agreed with Yi Xiaotian's words, and nodded heavily: "Hmm!" Pulling up Liu Min and running out of the room, Uncle Li and Aunt Li laughed: "This ghost girl! ”

Seeing Liu Min and Wen You'er go out of the village, Aunt Li was busy cleaning up the house, and Uncle Li led Yi Xiaotian into the next room, sat down at the head of the bed, put one hand on Yi Xiaotian's shoulder, and said happily: "Xiao God, you will live in this house in the future, this is your home, your uncle and aunt have no baby under your knees, you will be your uncle's baby in the future, your uncle and aunt are your relatives, what is your need, what grievances have you received in the village, just tell your uncle, understand?"

Yi Xiaotian lowered his head, there was a warm current from the big hand on his shoulder, and when he heard the word "relatives", tears fell down his eyes, nodded slightly, and then he plunged into the quilt, biting his palm, and couldn't cry out. Uncle Li patted Yi Xiaotian's back through the quilt, gently closed the door and walked out of the house......

At night, Yi Xiaotian's mood had already calmed down, lying on the bed and tossing and turning without any sleep, and he repeatedly remembered the fantasy encounter in the pool under the Niuxin Pavilion the day before yesterday, and he was puzzled, so he simply turned over and walked out of the house in boredom. The terrain here is already quite high, the night is very cold, a gust of cold wind blows, Yi Xiaotian can't help but shiver, looking up at the sky, but the stars are shining and shining, and he can't help but recall the last time he looked at the stars or Tongwen You'er broke the temple in Najiazhou City, snuggling up to each other.

The thin boy sighed in his heart again, and fell into memories, Yiling, his father, and his mother...... The old people appeared one by one, Yi Xiaotian put his hand into the pocket of the inner village on his chest, took out a small bag and opened it, poured out two pearls and stroked them carefully, the feel was smooth, delicate and warm, as if he had returned to the old house in Yiling and pulled his mother's fingers......

"Whoa!" There was a sound of water, and two huge water columns shot out from the palm of his hand, pouring Yi Xiaotian all over his body, cold to the bone, and instantly waking the young man from his hazy memories. Caught off guard, the two beads in Yi Xiaotian's hand rolled to the ground, each spinning and continuing to shoot out the water column, so frightened that Yi Xiaotian hurriedly hid back in the house, too late to wipe off the cold water on his face, and stared at the beads on the ground from the crack in the door. After about half an hour, the dirt floor in the small courtyard was already full of mud, and the two beads finally stopped spun and sprayed water, and they were stuck in the mud and did not move.

Yi Xiaotian walked to him lightly, gouged out the two beads from the mud, clenched them in his hands, and quickly ran back to the house and slammed the door, gasping for breath. After a long time, his heart stopped fluttering, Yi Xiaotian stared at his clenched fist, for the first time in his life, he felt that this precious thing was so strange and terrifying, he took a deep breath, seemed to have mustered up enough courage, and slowly spread out his palms...... At this time, the two beads are no different from before, lying quietly in the palm of their hands, stained with a little mud, and the clean place is still shiny and delicate, but it is no longer as crystal clear and transparent as before, and the water waves are no longer visible.

Yi Xiaotian exhaled a long breath, pinched himself hard, confirmed that he was not in a dream, and it could be regarded as completely coming back to his senses, full of doubts and puzzles, he finally gave up thinking, and then looked at the two pearls in his hand, after all, they were his mother's relics, and at this time he was full of mud, and his heart was also sad and unbearable, so he walked listlessly and numbly to the edge of the basin, threw the two beads in, and prepared to clean.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two beads entered the water, they spun again, and a ball-shaped space was forcibly rotated, which kept out all the surrounding water and overflowed the basin. Yi Xiaotian was shocked, and quickly copied the beads out of the water, put them on the table, and looked at them carefully with wide eyes, but he couldn't see the reason for looking at it for a long time.

"Alas" Yi Xiaotian sighed lightly, picked up the beads and put them in the palm of his hand again, his mother's face flashed in his mind again, and he gently stroked the pearl in his palm a few times, and was about to put it in the bag. "Whoa!" There was another sound of water, and the two beads spun in the palm of his hand, crystal clear, and the water waves in them were clear, shooting out two small jets of water, and soon they were quiet again, returning to their original appearance.

Yi Xiaotian stared at the beads in his palm, thought for a long time, and repeatedly put them into the water, took them out, stroked them, and tried them several times in a row, as if he understood the mystery......
