"Tang Cheng, did you really see that man fleeing to this mountain or liaring me? Why did we find him for three days but never see the Taoist you mentioned?"

At this time, near the top of the peak, an old man in black was shouting angrily at a man behind him, while the other people stood up with nervous faces, not daring to breathe.

The man was the leader a few days ago. When he saw the old man angry, he hurriedly said, "Great Elder, how dare I lie to you! My subordinates did see that guy escaped into the mountains with their own eyes. We followed him all the way, but we met two Taoist people, one big and one small, living here. Although there is no conclusive evidence, I am sure that the person we are looking for was definitely hidden by the Taoist people. You can ask all the brothers, this matter is absolutely true!"

"Hmph, why can't we find a trace after searching for so long? You are a master of the Void Refining Realm. In just a few days, you can't find the place you have that day?! What a bucket! Idiot!" The old man in black looked as deep as water, and was still angry and scolded loudly.

Tang Cheng scratched his head and said with a grievance: "This... I don't understand what's going on! I'm sure that I didn't take the wrong path before the mountainside, but the road afterwards... I don't know why, no matter how I look at it, there is a slight sense of no matter how I look at it. The stones and trees look familiar, but I can't remember it carefully! I think, the brothers will have the same feeling as me, right?"

The other people nodded one after another, obviously they were the same as Tang Cheng, so they didn't understand why.

"Then you are all stolen! Idiots!" The old man was furious when he saw that everyone else was like this: "You dozen people can't even catch a seriously injured person with a baby. If this is spread, where will our sect face be put! You bastards are all thrown away!"

At this time, a low sound of horns came from the foot of the mountain, and everyone's faces changed slightly. The old man said in a deep voice: "I'll go down the mountain first, you can continue to look for it. Also, send a few people to guard the necessary paths to get out of the mountain, and report it immediately if there is any situation."

"Yes, my subordinates obey the order."

...

...

Time is always gone without realizing it.

Especially in the deserted mountains, it is said that there is no Jiazi in the mountains, and the cold is gone and the year is not known.

Spring goes and autumn comes, cold goes and heat goes. In a blink of an eye, it is already sixteen years later.

At this time, it is March late in spring again.

At noon, the wind is soft and the sun is warm, refreshing and pleasant. The mountains are full of crisp green, and everything is full of vitality.

As the tree shadow swayed, a golden beast suddenly appeared and opened its mouth to hold a running and escaped hare. The hare was nearly twice its body, but was easily bitten by the little beast, and it seemed effortless and easy to ease.

When he let it go, the hare was already desperate. The little beast screamed happily behind him, revealing a very humane expression, as happy as a child who was winning the game.

"Haha, Jin'er, we're still tied this time. If you want to beat me, you have to work harder."

While speaking, a young man ran towards him with a bow and arrow. He was wearing a gray-blue robe. While running and jumping, he walked forward and grabbed the hare and put it into the cloth bag behind him.

That young man was the baby who was taken in by Tian Chenzi and named Daoyuan. Sixteen years later, the little baby back then has grown long and handsome, and is extremely heroic.

The little beast Jin'er roared twice, jumped onto Daoyuan's shoulder, leaned down and rubbed his cheek, with an extremely intimate expression.

Daoyuan stopped its movements and smiled and said, "Stop, the rabbit fur on your mouth has been put on my face. You guy, don't know how to clean it!"

Jin'er tilted her head, with a look of "I'm just like this". She didn't care about Daoyuan's words at all, and leaned on his shoulders, squinted her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Daoyuan shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "I really can't do anything to you..."

The prey was almost the same, and one person and one beast stood up and returned. When they arrived at their residence, it was already noon.

Seeing them back, Daoqing asked with a smile: "Junior brother, how are you getting today?"

For some reason, sixteen years have passed, and Daoqing's figure and appearance have not changed at all. He is still the height of a seven or eight-year-old child, and still has a simple expression.

"Haha, senior brother, Jin'er and I have hunted three pheasants and three hares today. We have a lot of harvest. You can wait and have a feast for a while..." Putting down the bow and arrow, Daoyuan laughed at Daoqing repeatedly, unable to hide his smug expression.

Jin'er also shouted and danced and made various moves to Daoqing.

"Your craftsmanship is really useless, and even the master praises you..."

"That's natural!" Daoyuan said proudly: "By the way, what about Master? Why didn't you see him?"

"Master has not returned since he left this morning, but for some reason. Before leaving, he told me to tell you that you don't have to recite the scriptures again today, just take a break for half a day, and I think Master seems to have something to say to you." Daoqing looked at his junior brother busy preparing lunch, and his face slightly reluctantly.

Daoyuan, who was washing and peeling the hare, didn't see the expression of his senior brother. When he heard him say this, he immediately said happily: "Really? That's great! I have memorized all the books in the study for a long time, but I don't know why my master still asked me to recite them every day. Over the years, I have read those books several times! It's really boring..."

"The master does this, so he will naturally make sense!"

Daoyuan looked depressed: "I didn't mean to blame him, I just don't understand why this is... Alas! I'll stop talking about it. Anyway, I don't have to look at those boring things anymore today."

"You, you..." Looking at the junior brother's helpless expression, Daoqing also looked helpless.

The two brothers talked and laughed, and soon, the aroma of barbecue came out. Jin'er's nose was the most awesome. When she saw it, her eyes, which were already half-closed, suddenly opened up, and with a low growl, she immediately rushed to Daoyuan, jumped gently, and stood on his shoulder, with an impatient expression on her cute face.

"Wait for a hurry! Don't be busy, it's all right away." Daoyuan turned to look at Jin'er and said with a smile.

Jin'er shook his little head, circled from his left shoulder to his right shoulder, and then turned back from his right shoulder, tossing and turning dozens of times. Finally, Daoyuan slapped his hands and said, "Okay!"

When Jin'er heard this, she immediately used her little head to Zeng Daoyuan's cheek, and her pleasing intention was revealed.

Daoyuan gently tapped its forehead: "I know you're hungry, but you still have to endure it and wait until the master comes before you can eat it. Do you understand?"

Although Jin'er was in a hurry to stare at the roasted rabbit meat without blinking.

Jin'er didn't wait for a long time. After a while, Tian Chenzi floated up, three long beards swaying under the jaw, and his Taoist robe swayed lightly with the breeze, and it was very gentle and light, and it was floating out of the dust.

"Are you anxious?"

"Master, where have you been? Why did you come back so long?"

Jin'er roared lightly and jumped towards Tian Chenzi. Tian Chenzi's palm stretched out slightly, and Jin'er landed steadily in his palm and gestured at him again.

Tian Chenzi laughed and scolded, "I know you little greedy guy can't wait. OK, let's have a meal first."

Daoyuan picked the roasted pheasant and hare meat and put it in a bowl with Tian Chenzi. He then put two intact hares into a bamboo plate and handed them to Jin'er. The rest were eaten slowly with Daoqing and Daoqing.

Seeing that the food was in front of him, Jin'er didn't care about anything else, so she rushed up and started eating it voraciously. This anxious look caused laughter from the master and apprentice.

"Why does this guy always seem to be reincarnated as a hungry ghost..."

After dinner, the two brothers packed up their dishes and even Jin'er was called into the room by Tian Chenzi.

"Master, is there anything wrong with asking your disciple to come?" Daoyuan had never seen Tian Chenzi's serious expression before, and he felt a little nervous.

Jin'er, who has always been fussy, also seemed to feel an unusual atmosphere and become well-behaved.

Tian Chenzi sat cross-legged on the couch, twisted his beard for a while, and looked at Daoyuan quietly for a long time before he said softly: "Daoyuan, from tomorrow, you can go down the mountain."

"ah?!"

Daoyuan didn't expect Tian Chenzi to suddenly say this. He was stunned, then he was shocked and hurriedly said: "Master, are you... going to drive your disciple away..."

Tian Chenzi waved his hand to stop him: "It's not that I'm cruel to drive you away for my master, but you still have a relationship with you. It's also our master and disciple... It's here!"

"Fate... has arrived?" Daoyuan didn't understand what Tian Chenzi meant for a moment and murmured.

Tian Chenzi looked at him lovingly, with a deep and distant look: "You once asked about your life experience as a teacher. In fact, it was not intended by the master, but it was actually for you. Now, it's time to tell you..."

Then, Tian Chenzi told Daoyuan all the things that happened sixteen years ago. After he had fully understood and accepted it, he continued: "Your life experience, my master cannot tell you. Now that you have grown up, it is time to find your own life experience."

"But Master..." Daoyuan's eyes were red and his voice was choked: "I was the great kindness of your life and raising me. Now that I can't repay you, how can I leave? My disciple begs to take back the order and ask my disciple to serve you for a few more years and fulfill his meager filial piety..." As he said that, he kowtowed three times to Tian Chenzi.

"Haha, silly kid! When fate comes, all fate will be destined. If you force it, you will inevitably lead to unknown variables. Besides, everyone has their own way to go. Your path is not in the mountains, but in the world..., there is also a place that we practitioners must experience."

Daoyuan looked at Tian Chenzi in a daze, with a hint of confusion on his face.

"It is hard to be complete without entering the world! Eating more things and gaining more knowledge will be of great benefit to your practice. Also, let Jin'er go down the mountain with you, so as to save you from being alone."

Jin'er roared "woosh" and jumped into Tian Chenzi's arms, his face full of reluctance.

Tian Chenzi touched Jin'er's little head and said solemnly: "Jin'er has been with you since she was a child. I will let it go with you all over the world. You must treat it well and not ignore it."

"Yes, disciple remember!"

"It is not unreasonable for me to let you memorize thousands of scriptures and scriptures. Although you cannot fully understand the meaning now, you will gradually understand it when you experience the prosperity of the world. It can help you relieve the confusion in your heart and clarify the black and white of right and wrong. It is important to know that the foundation of practice is to cultivate your mind and cultivate your nature, to save your life, and to save your life, and to seek the truth from the perspective of the opportunity and ask about the Tao. Looking at the various paths in the world, all changes will not be separated from the sect. Whether you practice literature and martial arts, you will eventually be different, and the source will be combined."

"In the world, there are countless obsessions and temptations. If you have any mistakes, you will enter the devil's path. You must keep your true heart and not let down your expectations!" Tian Chenzi looked at Daoyuan with a bright look.

"Master, don't worry, my disciple will definitely follow my master's teachings! After my disciple finds out his life and realizes his fate, he will come back to fulfill his filial piety to his master!"

"Yeah!" Tian Chenzi nodded slightly, took out a bracelet from his arms, and handed it to Daoyuan: "This bracelet can be used for storage. You have known the usage for a long time, so I will not talk about it anymore. It contains some application items prepared by the teacher for you, please take it."

"Thank you, Master!" Daoyuan quickly took it with both hands and kowtowed to thank him.

"Okay, you can clean up a little today and go down the mountain early tomorrow morning."

"yes."
