Volume Two Eighteen States in Precarious Winds and Storms Chapter 194 Stars Twinkle on the Wind

Wudang Mountain, Jingzhou.

At the foot of the mountain, two fast horses galloped past, one was the night jade illuminated by the flowing light, the horse's hooves were as cool as meteors, and there were two girls on the horse's back, one was a purple shirt and a silver bow, and the other was a red skirt. The two were Yu Xining and Zheng Ruyan, and behind them was Zhang Jin'an.

After getting off the ship from Wuyicheng Port, Yu Xining and the other two rushed to Wudang. At the same time, Du Min took Zhao Changxu, Du Tianxing, Qi Luan and others to hurry to Wudang, vowing to ask for an explanation.

On the surface of the Xiangjiang River, Ning Xiaochuan and Shenli were rushing towards Wuyi by boat. Ning Xiaochuan's face was pale. It would take some time for him to fully recover because he was severely injured by Zhao Changke.

When Shen Li came outside the cabin, he saw Ning Xiaochuan looking at Wuyi's direction worriedly, and walked over to comfort him, "You are covered in wounds now, and you are still worried about others."

"I don't know if Xi Ning and the others have arrived in Wudang. This time the matter is so big, the Du family will definitely go to Wudang to find an explanation. If Wudang lets the young grandmother of the Du family enter the mountain, it means that he has agreed to Brother Zhang's actions, which is to completely break up with the Du family.

But if we don’t let the mountain go and cannot get the protection of Wudang, then there will be no place for Miss Zheng in the entire Jingzhou.” Ning Xiaochuan said worriedly. What he said was not an alarmist statement, but a compromise evaluation after considering the influence of the Du family.

Shen Li looked at Ning Xiaochuan with his head raised, then shook his head in confusion, "Oh, why are you talking so much? As you are afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, then don't save people at that time."

"If you don't save me, just watch Miss Zheng be harmed?" Ning Xiaochuan asked himself. Until now, he didn't think it was a mistake to save someone.

Shen Li shook his head and indeed listened to Ning Xiaochuan's story about the Du family. If the eldest young grandmother kept staying in the Du family, wouldn't this force the eldest young grandmother to death?

"The matter in your Central Plains is so complicated." Since I couldn't figure it out, Shen Li simply stopped thinking about it and said with a pout.

Ning Xiaochuan sighed, "It is difficult for the people in Jiangxia to find the best. This is the world of Dafeng today..."

...

The foot of Wudang Mountain.

"Wow..." Zhang Jinan stopped the horse and came to Xiaobai, carefully helped Zheng Ruyan down. Yu Xining turned around and got off the horse, gently patted Xiaobai's forehead, "You go and have fun."

Xiaobai roared, turned around and ran into the dense forest next to him.

Zheng Ruyan looked at the four-character plaque in front of her with the words "Tao Qi will last forever" and felt complicated.

The last time I saw this plaque was a year ago. At that time, I was about to get married and wanted to come to Wudang to see Zhang Jinan for the last time. Unexpectedly, it was indeed a sentence from a disciple of Wudang, donor, please go back.

At this moment, Zhang Jinan was standing under the plaque, looking at Zheng Ruyan with a red dress beside him, and was in a complicated mood.

"Master Zhang, I waited for the whole day under this plaque last time." Zheng Ruyan's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at Zhang Jinan and said, "But you still didn't go down the mountain."

"Hmm?" Yu Xining was stunned, looking left and right, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.

Zhang Jinan stared at the bluestone path in front of him, and did not even have the courage to look at Zheng Ruyan. He said dullly, "Miss Zheng, don't talk about the past."

Zheng Ruyan's nose felt sore, and nodded heavily, and tears rolled down, "Yes, don't mention the past."

While speaking, countless Wudang Taoist priests hurriedly ran down the mountain. After seeing Zhang Jin'an one by one, they shouted excitedly, "Fifth Master Uncle, Fifth Master Uncle..."

Zhang Jinan walked forward, looked at the Wudang disciple in front of him, and nodded slightly, "Why are you coming down?"

The Wudang disciple next to him looked at Zhang Jinan with a little embarrassment, took out a letter from Zhang Xingrui from his waist and handed it to Zhang Jinan, "Fifth Master Uncle, this is the letter from the head. Miss Zheng has a special identity and is inconvenient to go up the mountain. Please forgive me."

"What?" Yu Xining walked up angrily and shouted at the Wudang disciples, "What does it mean to you Wudang? Do you want to save him when you die?"

Zheng Ruyan smiled softly, bowed and nodded, "I understand, I'm really sorry, I've caused you trouble."

Zhang Jinan frowned, opened the envelope in confusion, read it carefully, showed a hint of embarrassment, and nodded, "Thank you to the senior brother of the sect for me."

"Uncle Master..." The Wudang disciples in front of him also understood Zhang Jinan's current situation. There was no place to protect them except Wudang.

Yu Xining looked at Zhang Jin'an and said angrily, "Zhang Jin'an, they don't let us go up the mountain anymore, you still thank you."

Zheng Ruyan pulled Yu Xining and stopped the angry Yu Xining and said, "I am already very satisfied with being able to come out of the Du family, so it's not their fault."

Zhang Jinan looked at Zheng Ruyan and Yu Xining, took a deep breath, and let out a turbid breath, "Two, follow me to Lianhu."

"Lianhu?"

...

Wudang Zhenwu Palace.

Zhang Xingrui, Xiang Nanchuan and Jing Lie sat cross-legged and held a lotus in front of their chests, holding a scent of them, circulating their breath, and the Taoist qi was immortal.

After a while, a Wudang disciple came in and bowed, "Your Majesty, the two uncles, and the fifth uncle took Miss Yu and Miss Zheng to Lianhu."

After hearing this, Zhang Xingrui nodded slightly. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were deep like a vast sea, "Well, I understand, you go down."

"Yes." The little Taoist priest bowed and retreated.

Jing Lie took a deep breath, looked up at Zhang Xingrui, "Senior Brother, do we really ignore it?"

"The person who tied the bell must be untied. This matter needs to be solved by Lao Wu himself, and the lotus in Lianhu should be opened." Zhang Xingrui stroked his beard thoughtfully and said.

"Dong..."

The bell rang, which seemed to indicate that everything had returned to the starting point, but it also meant that everything had returned to the end point. Three bells rang throughout the Wudang Mountains and forests. Zhang Jinan, who was walking on the road to Lianhu, stopped and looked towards the direction of Wudang Mountain. He was in a complicated mood, his eyes were slightly red, and he bowed heavily.

Yu Xining helped Zheng Ruyan slowly walk towards Lianhu. Although Wudang Lianhu was also on Wudang Mountain, it was not on the main peak of Wudang but on the side peak. It was in a Tianchi Lake, planted by Wudang master Yu Taiqing himself.

These three thousand lotus seas are said to represent the luck of Wudang. The immortals came out of the lotus. Wudang took over as his disciple in his late years with Zhang Jin'an, who was only three years old, and told Zhang Xingrui that when the lotus sea was in full bloom, this son would become an immortal.

Since then, the title of Wudang Lotus Immortal has been spread, and Zhang Jinan has lived up to expectations. He has his own unique understanding of Taoist secrets. The Tai Chi Mind Method he practices also goes thousands of miles a day. Even Zhang Xingrui is a little worse, becoming the youngest half-step divine master in Wudang in five hundred years, and is expected to become the youngest immortal in the entire Taoist school.

Wudang Lotus Peak, three thousand miles into the sky, paving the road along the way, climbing the Lotus Peak, the blue sky above our heads, and Wudang Xiong Peak under our feet. Looking down at our feet, the Lotus Sea Tianchi Pond.

Yu Xining stood on the Lotus Peak, looking at the Lotus Lake below, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Is this Wudang Lotus Lake? It's so magnificent. It's hard to imagine how grand the lotus seeds will be when they bloom."

Zheng Ruyan leaned over and sat on the chair next to her, looked at Lianhu in front of her, and said softly, "Master Zhang, do you remember the scene of the stars we watched here?"

Zhang Jinan remained silent and sat cross-legged on the futon next to him, looking ahead.

Zheng Ruyan took a deep breath and his voice became even more hoarse, "At that time, I could still call you Jin'an, and you could also call me Ruyan."

Zhang Jin'an's heart was shocked suddenly. The memories of his youth came out from his heart like mushrooms after a rain. At that time, I was really a teenager's spirit.

...

Ten years ago, Wudang Lotus Peak.

On a midsummer night, the originally hot day was covered by the night and a brief coolness came. On the Wudang Lotus Peak, a young Taoist priest was crawling to the top of the mountain with a dark-skinned girl wearing a coarse cloth shirt on her back.

The little girl lay on the back of the little Taoist priest, with stars above her head and insects ringing in her ears. The sound of the young man's footsteps sounded thumping. She seemed to be walking on the bluestone road up the mountain, but in fact she was walking in the girl's heart.

The girl's mind was already delicate. She blushed when she lay on the back of the little Taoist priest. Although she was embarrassed, she couldn't help but hope that this moment would last longer.

"Jin'an, why don't you let me go, I can walk by myself." A breeze mixed with moisture came from the mountains, and the girl's cheeks were blown red, and she murmured softly.

Zhang Jinan smiled, his eyes clear as the moonlight, "It's okay, it's coming soon. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can see the big moon, and you can see the sunrise in the morning. If you are hungry, I can still roast corn for you."

Listening to the boy's words, the girl's heart throbbed. The little Taoist student in front of her was white and sweet, and she loved her deeply. Even she didn't know when she fell in love with this little boy who had been struggling with her in the mud since childhood.

...

When I climbed the Lotus Peak, it was already midnight. Zheng Ruyan looked up at the starry sky, her eyes wide open, and the stars flashed, shining on the Lotus Lake under her feet, accompanied by waves, which made her feel like she entered the fairyland of the Moon Palace.

The stars on earth are eighteen dots, and the moon is bright and the osmanthus is the spring in the first half of the tree.

Maybe this is the beautiful scenery in midsummer, with young girls sitting side by side, with wind on their shoulders and twinkling stars on the wind.

The insects and birds were chirping. When the breeze blew, Zheng Ruyan couldn't help but shivered. Zhang Jinan took off his Taoist robe and put it on Zheng Ruyan, pointing to the starry sky above his head and talking.

"Ruyan, look, the brightest star in the north is called the North Star, also called Ziwei Star. The emperor of our Dafeng is the reincarnation of Ziwei Star. Look at the many stars around him, and they are all civil and military ministers. Look at the one next to him is like a spoon, called the Big Dipper Star. This is amazing. From the handle of the spoon, it is Yaoguang, Kaiyang, Yuheng, Tianquan..."

"Ruyan, the stars in the sky all have their own belongings. I saw that the star in the south is not red. It is the heart of the seven constellations of the East Canglong. Every July is the brightest time. There is also the silver ribbon. It looks good, it is the Milky Way..."

"Like smoke..."

The words of the past slowly appeared before my eyes. The boy only remembered that when he was talking, the girl was already lying on his shoulder and fell asleep.
