Finally, we waited until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

During dinner, Xia Wutong took advantage of Tang Qiuyu to go to the kitchen and mustered up the courage to tell Li Ye that he would go down the mountain with his master tomorrow.

This trip is to return to the Central Territory, and it is more likely to return to Qingcheng to practice. After all, Tang Qiuyu and she have been away from the sect for too long.

"Are we finally leaving?" Li Ye looked at the girl in front of him and thought about it but didn't know how to answer the question.

After staying for a long time, he replied: "All I have been thinking about these days is cultivation. I haven't really played with you and Mu Mu. When I have time later, I will make a gift for you and Mu Mu. See you next time.

Time for you."

"Okay! I'll wait for you to come back from the mountain after completing your cultivation in the Central Territory."

At this time, two red clouds flew over Xia Wutong's face, and she was extremely happy.

When he looked up, he saw his master standing at the door of the living room, smiling broadly.

Tang Qiuyu was about to go down the mountain back to the central region with Xia Wutong, so naturally it was difficult to restrain her feelings for Li Ye.

Who can control what will happen a few years from now? It’s better to take advantage of the present time and make the people in front of you happy.

The husband looked at the two of them and smiled without saying a word.

He just reminded Li Ye: "My wife, Mu Mu, and Mr. Tang, I have gone to the Buddhist capital, and you are the only one left here. How long do you plan to stay in Prajna Temple, and do you want to go back to the cave to practice?"

"

"Of course I want it back. My epee is all forged and tempered by the earth's fire. I plan to return to the temple and stay for ten days and a half. When the snow on the mountain melts more, I will go back to the cave to practice." Li Ye replied with a smile.

road.

The teacher thought for a while, looked at him and said: "When you come back from Prajna Temple, go back here first. Maybe then I will take your wife to live in the mountains with you for a while. After all, the spring in the mountains is the most beautiful.

season."

Mu Mu, who was eating melon seeds, clapped his hands and said, "Mu Mu likes to play in the mountains with my brother the most. Then I will take my wife to look for delicious food."

Li Hongxiu felt happy, touched her hand and asked, "What's delicious in the mountains?"

Mu Mu tilted her head, thought for a while and said: "My brother once picked some leaves on Tianshan Mountain and cooked them with dried meat. It smelled a bit smelly, but tasted very fragrant. Mu Mu forgot what it was called."

Li Hongxiu said "ouch" and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you have such a good memory. You still remember what happened in the past few years. That thing is called Chunya. I will take you to pick it later."

"Several years have passed in a blink of an eye. Time flies so fast!" The gentleman couldn't help sighing while making tea.

...

On Fangcun Mountain in Fifteen, the wind and snow that had been blowing all winter finally stopped, and a snowy moon hung in the sky, shining on the small bluestone courtyard at the back of Xuantian Temple.

It's still freezing cold outside.

There is a fire in the house, there is tea on the stove, and there are people by the fire.

Thinking that he would go down the mountain early tomorrow morning, Li Hongxiu led Mu Mu back to his room to rest early.

When Tang Qiuyu saw Li Hongxiu leaving, she couldn't face her husband alone, so she found an excuse to go back to the house. Before leaving, she told her to go back to the house early to rest.

The husband drank two more cups of tea with Li Ye and Xia Wutong by the stove. He also felt sleepy, clapped his hands, put away the book, and went back to his room to rest.

Only Xia Wutong and Li Ye were left in the living room.

A pine lamp separated the two of them, and a plate of melon seeds and a plate of pastries were placed on the table.

"Junior brother, I like your writing. Can you write one for me and treat it as a gift before we say goodbye?"

Xia Wutong blushed and asked in a low voice.

Li Ye, who was holding melon seeds and chewing them, was stunned, scratched his head in embarrassment, and asked: "Um, what kind of banner does Senior Sister want?"

Xia Wutong thought for a while, bit her lip and said, "Just write one of your best lyrics. I've seen the one in your wife's house. It's very good and has a lot of artistic conception."

"Well, that doesn't seem right. Besides, it can't be written without a state of mind!"

Li Ye looked at her in embarrassment, thinking that those words should have been given to his wife by his husband, but he was so frivolous that he got into trouble.

Xia Wutong was startled, then raised his head and looked at him faintly, with a trace of mist lingering in his eyes.

Li Ye looked at her appearance and thought that it would be impossible if he didn't write it down.

Immediately, I put away the melon seeds and cakes on the table, got up and went to the bookshelf to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Seeing that there was something going on, Xia Wutong quickly got up and helped move the teacups on the table to make room for Li Ye.

"What do you want?"

"Anything is fine, as long as it's written by you."

"that......"

"Junior brother, what's wrong with you? I've already sharpened this ink for you."

Li Ye looked up at the little girl under the light, and had the illusion that the young lady from Phoenix Mountain was standing in front of him.

Recalling what Ouyang Dongli said to him a few days ago, he felt a little confused and sentimental.

...

The brush in his hand was hanging in the air, unable to fall down.

"Forget it, we are about to part ways, and I would like to convey to my senior sister the separation I felt from my master a few days ago. I also had these feelings when I left Fengyun City."

After a while, Li Yecai whispered softly, as if he was talking to Xia Wutong, but also as if he was talking to himself.

A drop of black juice falls on the pale yellow Huxuan, and there is a kind of artistic conception spreading...

The plain forest is woven with smoke in the desert, and the cold mountains are sad and green.

It's dark when you enter a high-rise building, and there are people upstairs who are worried.

The jade steps stand empty, and the birds return home in a hurry.

Where is the return journey? The long pavilion is shorter than the pavilion.

After finishing his work in one breath, Li Ye stopped writing and raised his head.

Looking at the silver moonlight outside the living room, she softly murmured: "Where is the return journey? The long pavilion is shorter... Senior sister, I wish you and Mr. Tang a safe journey and return to the Central Region as soon as possible.

."

"Where is the return journey? The long pavilion is shorter than the pavilion." Xia Wutong also followed him and chanted twice.

Suddenly, she couldn't hold back the mist in her eyes, and let it spread down. She just stared blankly at the boy in front of her, looking into his tearful eyes through the lamp, and she was speechless and choked.

Li Ye was also confused. Looking at the girl in front of him, he didn't know how to comfort her.

After staying for a long time, he said: "Sister, my master told me a few days ago: Nine times out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up from... We are all practitioners, and we are in the five realms.

, Senior Sister, if you have time in the future, you can come to Zhucun Mountain again..."

For a time, I was in a hurry, regardless of my words.

Xia Wutong lowered his head and stared at the ink stains on the table, but his heart was in a mess.

Right now, she was feeling surprised, panicked, and even a little shy.

After a long moment of silence, Ye calmed down and raised his head to look at Li Ye.

He gently replied: "I like this calligraphy very much, and I also like this poem. I will keep it well. I hope that it won't be long before I can see my junior brother again in the Central Territory..."

After saying that, he gently rolled up the Hu Xuan with the dark stains gradually drying up, took out a silk scarf and carefully wrapped it up and put it away.

"I'm afraid I won't leave Fangcun Mountain in the next few years. If senior sister wants to find someone to practice swordsmanship, or finds materials for making swords, you can come here to find me. If I'm not here, I'll be in Prajna Temple."

Li Ye suddenly felt a little cautious and didn't know what to say.

Xia Wutong looked at it, nodded slightly, looked back at the moonlight under the pear tree outside the living room, and smiled lightly.

Said: "It's already late at night, I'm going to have a rest first, and you should also rest early."

After saying that, he and Li Ye smiled slightly, got up and left the living room.

Li Ye looked at the figure walking out of the living room, his lips moved but no sound came out.

Silence is better than sound at this time.

He suddenly understood what Ouyang Dongli said: Nine times out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up from.

"Is it true that by the end of your practice, you will be so cold that you won't even be able to find a friend to talk to?"

Looking at the mist on the stove, I suddenly wanted to drink a glass of wine.

Drink Nalan Yu’s gift of drunkenness and dreams.

He wanted to experience the feeling of being half asleep, half awake, and wandering for nine days.

However, he didn't dare to drink because tomorrow the husband and others would go down the mountain to the Buddhist capital, and he had to get up early.

...

In early spring, the winter snow in Fangcun Mountain is gradually melting away, and green buds are sprouting in the soil that has been frozen all winter.

The spring snow is also gradually melting on the eaves of the bluestone courtyard, and the tick-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tat on the stone slabs creates an indelible sense of farewell in the courtyard.

After a hurried breakfast, Li Hongxiu arranged for the items to be brought down the mountain. Li Ye had already given the herbs for sale to his husband in advance.
