In the early morning of the next day, everyone said goodbye to the Shuifu faction, and Xiao Fenglang pretended to ask inadvertently about the itinerary, "Where will you go in the next few days?"

When Xiao Zhurong heard this, he attached it to his ear lively, whispered a few words, blushed, and followed the master into the door. Xiao Fenglang listened to the mixed tastes, Tang Bin on the side saw him stunned, repeatedly teased a few times, the two chased after each other, and went out of the Shuifu Temple with the master.

A few days later, Xiao Zhurong went to Jieshi Village in Wulingyuan alone to visit her fiancé.

It was three years ago, Xiao Zhurong followed the master to visit Wuling Daoren, vaguely remembered the early spring in February, the jujube tree sprouts, passing by a village, and saw a scholar chanting poetry while tuning mulberry in the courtyard, the literary talent is outstanding, the aura is compelling, and his age is only about 20, Xiao Zhurong has been fascinated since then, and the latter two are also like-minded, so they decided to do this family business.

Xiao Fenglang got up early that day, prepared his baggage, and hurriedly rushed out of Kongtang Villa and went down the mountain. Because he wanted to catch up with Xiao Zhurong before he set off for Wulingyuan.

All the way to the beautiful mountains and rivers, I saw a white shadow from a distance, and I thought excitedly, it must be Xiao Zhurong!

But unconsciously Xiao Fenglang was lost, stopping halfway, sometimes driving a horse, sometimes walking on foot, to a lakeside dam.

Looking at the lake from afar, vast and open, boundless, and the embankment is majestic and magnificent, Xiao Fenglang realized in his heart that this is the "Dongting Dam"! At the moment, he was ecstatic, and he had already forgotten about losing Xiao Zhurong, so he went down to the low part of the dam leisurely, washed his face with water, and paddled comfortably with the dog's tail grass.

I was having a good time, and suddenly I saw a person at the culvert at the bottom of the dam, the young man was dressed as a Confucian student, but he was carrying a sword and a burden, and he looked a little unhappy. "Hey, brother, how did you hide there?, isn't there any difficulty?" Xiao Fenglang asked him frankly.

"It's none of your business!" the man was about to continue on his way, but Xiao Fenglang was interested, "Where are you going? Maybe we can go together!"

"You go away! I don't know you!" the other party still didn't appreciate it, and frowned slightly.

"You are a big man, why are you so girly?" Xiao Fenglang heard this tone, suddenly felt funny, and hesitated for a while, "What? angry!"

"You prodigal son, see if I don't fight all over the ground looking for teeth!" The young man was furious, chasing Xiao Fenglang and about to fight.

"Come on, come on!" "I don't know that Xiao Fenglang has always been profligate, and he can't ask for it, thinking that he can further tease the other party, why not.

The two of you chased after me, fighting with each other, up and down the dam, flickering or wandering the figures of the two, one moment comparing fists and feet, one moment comparing light skills, until exhausted, Fang stopped, "Brother Yang, it turns out that you are going to Wulingyuan to deliver a letter? It just so happens that I am also going there! It seems that the two of us do not know each other!"

The two arrived in Wuling and found an inn to rest.

Xiao Fenglang went out to wander the street, just when the Tujia family started to perform a play, he was fascinated, he didn't want to go back to the inn but he didn't see Brother Yang, he was very disappointed in his heart, and he thought about it again, anyway, he was going to separate, so he had to continue to look for Xiao Zhurong alone.

It is said that Xiao Zhurong visited the chief of Wuling, and his heart was initially relieved, and then he went to Shijie Village to visit his fiancé Wu Wen, and the young scholar was very happy, thinking that he would go to the mountains to pick more herbs and sell them in order to better prepare for the wedding.

Wu Taigong in the family was naturally overjoyed, and immediately sent someone to Wulingyuan to report the news, asking the second eldest in the family, Wu Song, to come back and help his brother with some trouble.

Although they are siblings, this Wu Song is completely different from the brother of the weak scholar, born with handsome eyebrows and benevolent eyes, blunt face and square jaw, bronze skin, strong and powerful, strong muscles and bones, powerful and powerful, You Xi danced with guns and sticks, so he was sent to Wuling Dao Changmen to be a disciple since he was a child.

Xiao Zhurong stayed for a few days, and went back to the Shuifu faction, and I don't know how long it took, in the spring sunshine, he was leading the horse, walking boredly all the way, and suddenly saw a kid behind him coming out of nowhere, and patted his shoulder, "Who are you?

"Why? I haven't seen you for a few days, so I don't know my brother and me?" Xiao Fenglang naughtily threw an electric eye.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Zhurong looked at it carefully for a while, and finally recognized Xiao Fenglang.

"What do you say! I said that I would go to Xiangxi to play together, but it turned out that I was easy to find, and you took the lead several times!" Xiao Fenglang complained slightly, but soon smiled, "Na! Don't you look at where this is?"

Xiao Zhurong looked around for a while, and he had really passed the Shuifu Temple.

But seeing the endless wasteland on both sides of the road, the mountains in the distance are undulating, the dandelions and small velvet flowers in the dry bushes are splendid, the clear light is slightly white, quiet and tranquil, it is really a different kind of scenery.

During the conversation, I accidentally wanted to take a closer look at the people next to me, Xiao Zhurong saw this nerd, dragon posture and phoenix eyes, happy and affectionate, wearing a golden jade crown, wearing new white clothes, flying ribbons between the temples, elegant with ruffians, not at all like what I saw before, but it was also quite interesting.

How did he know that Xiao Fenglang saw Xiao Zhurong again at this time, and his heart was happy, even better than before.

"Xiao Zhurong, how could your master be willing to let you marry a weak scholar?" Xiao Fenglang asked her casually.

"How can there be a marriage event whether you want it or not? It's just a matter of fate, and it's just a lifelong promise!" Xiao Zhurong replied indifferently, paused, and said thoughtfully, "I have lived for sixteen years, although I have practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, and practiced swordsmanship on horseback, but after all, I am just an innocent little girl." ”

When Xiao Fenglang heard this, he didn't ask anymore, but invited on a whim, "Xiao Zhurong, I've come here anyway, why don't you stop by and play in our Tianlong Mountain?"

After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Zhurong smiled slowly and said, "I have been out for more than ten days this time, even if I go out to play, I should ask the master for instructions in advance, otherwise his old man should be angry!"

"Why do you have to think so much! I see that your master treats you very well, how can you account for this?" Xiao Fenglang comforted her recklessly, and then diverted the topic, "I heard that your martial arts are the highest attained in the 'Seven Immortals of Shuifu', I don't know if there is such a thing?"

"No, the senior sister asked for the sake of practicing martial arts, determined not to marry for the rest of her life, and her cultivation is extraordinary; Xiao Zhurong said carefully, which was convincing.

"By the way, why don't you mention your second senior sister?" Xiao Fenglang was puzzled when he heard this.

"My second senior sister went back to her mansion in Changsha City a few days ago, and our senior sisters had a very good relationship, but recently I vaguely heard from the master that she may be difficult to come back for various reasons. Xiao Zhurong sighed and explained.

"I see, don't mention these unhappy things. Since you are humble and mediocre in martial arts, let's compare a few tricks!

"Okay! On the martial arts stage that day, you performed well. The martial arts are so high, why don't you let the master accept you as an apprentice?" Xiao Zhurong also joked.

"That's not going to happen! I already have a master!"

"Your master, I don't know how to do martial arts!" The two laughed and made trouble, all the way you followed me, sometimes teasing each other, sometimes playing together, in the boundless wasteland, the breeze passed by, the ribbon was flying, and from a distance, it was really like a pair of beautiful people.

On this day, Wu Song has been home for some time, and he works hard every day to help the carpenter invited by the village to prepare for the wedding.

Most of these carpenters are the apprentices of Daddy Wu Taigong, and they are meticulous and meticulous in their work, which is different from ordinary people.

At the beginning of the morning, Wu Wen picked up the medicine basket and was still ready to go up the mountain to collect medicine, and saw that everyone in the courtyard was working hard, Wu Song was also working hard to help the logs, and he was very happy in his heart, and did not forget to instruct, "Second brother, my brother is still going up the mountain, remember to serve my good father for lunch!"

"Okay!" Wu Song replied heartily, full of energy, all revealing heroism and fortitude.

"Little junior brother, you've said these things no less than dozens of times, don't be annoyed!" the carpenters laughed and quipped. Wu Wen only said "um", silently answered, and went up the mountain beautifully.

It didn't take long to see Wu Taigong holding a long pipe on the main road at the head of the village, supported by a craftsman apprentice, running home upside down, panting and instructing, "Where is Wu Wen?

"Big brother, he went up the mountain, what's the matter, Dad?" Wu Song replied briskly.

"It's terrible!" Mrs. Wu waved his pipe, patted his thigh, and shouted urgently, "I just got the news, a white-fronted insect came up from Songyang Gang in the neighboring county, and it has injured four or five lives, your brother went to Xiangyin Mountain across it, how dangerous it is to not be able to keep it!"

"Dad, don't worry! I'll go up the mountain to find my brother!" Wu Song listened, and seemed to faintly feel an ominous meaning in his calmness, and was ready to go out immediately.

"Yes, but Master doesn't need to worry, let's quickly send a few more people to get the mountain in our hands, and we will definitely be able to find the little junior brother!" The apprentice who came with him echoed with relief.

"No need! I'll just go alone! The big guy should still work at home!" Wu Song picked up a Nanmu whistle stick from the house, and carried the deer antler wine given by the master with him, so that he could drink two sips and strengthen his courage when the time came.

"Wu Er, go up the mountain single-handedly, I'm afraid something is wrong!" An old carpenter persuaded, and everyone heard the words, and they were indifferent.

"Our martial arts song, young and strong, strong physique, and a good martial arts, just go up the mountain, it's not impossible to say!" The middle-aged master, with a bold temperament and a beard between his lips, is quite benevolent, and he said it casually and expressed his opinions.

That Wu Song had already walked out of the courtyard, and everyone acquiesced, no longer reluctantly, only the old lady Wu lifted the pipe in his hand, took two sips, and smoked straight out, with a serious expression and a slight lock on his brows.

Xiangyin Mountain is an unknown hill in the Wuling area, but because of the strange terrain, the tiger is named deeply, most of the tigers in the mountain have disappeared for a period of time, I didn't expect the tiger to make a comeback recently, it is estimated that it is looking for the hometown to come.

Wu Wen saw that this deep mountain is verdant and green, vines are scattered, all kinds of mountain flowers and wild fruits, bees, butterflies and mosquitoes emerge in endlessly, and there is a "birdsong mountain is more secluded" realm, full of joy is not good, although it is difficult to climb, but also go up the mountain with a puff.

The ferns in the mountains are overgrown, and the mountains are also full of new grass, Wu Wen thought to himself, these arhats and vines can only be picked in summer. On the mountain, he successively picked some medicines such as chicken foot lotus, mountain whip, and crane grass, and this weak pharmacist almost reached the top of the mountain.

It was almost noon, and a little clear light was transmitted in the shade of the pine forest, Wu Wen wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sat on the moss-covered rocks beside him to rest, in the slightly hot air, everything was terrifyingly quiet, and occasionally ants and centipedes crawled over.

Wu Wen looked around, caressed between a pine tree and looked down the mountain, Leng Buding was scared and shivered, it turned out that the forest leaves were covered, and the bottom of the mountain was actually a pool of water, the warm wind was blowing, the blue waves were slightly rippling, the island between the pools, the bamboo and green moved, this silent mountain forest actually had such a wonderful secret place.

When he was intoxicated, he suddenly heard the forest and the pine wind moved, and the air suddenly became tense, like the calm before the storm.

Sure enough, after a while, from the slope pass, faintly moved, and a behemoth came over, which turned out to be a tiger! I saw it come halfway through, pause, concentrate, ears up, eyes like lightning, as if it had quickly discovered its prey, suddenly, opened its mouth and fangs, "howled", and quickly pounced on this side.

Wu Wen was so frightened that he trembled, his legs were weak and he couldn't walk, and finally took out the will to survive, barely circled around with the big insect a few times, and hurriedly held on to a pine branch, one did not pay attention to stepping on the air with one foot, his body was unbalanced, "ahhhhh

Before he had time to shout "help", he rumbled a few times on the lake, and he disappeared, and he was a poor scholar, who was young and was buried in the abyss because he was frightened by the tiger!
