A small and innocent disaster was resolved after Zhang Wuhou and others intervened.
Yang Chaoxi was finally worried about Lu Qiuniang's injury, so she had to bother Fang Qidou one more time. She settled her mother down in the Fang family's house, and her maid helped apply some gold sore medicine and applied it with gauze.
These small actions naturally alarmed Fang Qidou's mother. This woman in her forties was always kind. She scolded Fang Qidou for not being polite, and asked her maid to arrange a guest room in the west.
Lu Qiuniang went over to talk. After being so busy, she unintentionally realized that Lu Qiuniang was a guest in Fang's house.
It was half past midnight, and Yang Chaoxi and Fang Qidou came out of the Tongtuofang where the Fang family's residence was located. Yang Chaoxi suddenly turned around and bowed his hands: "Senior Brother Fang! I need your help today to fulfill my brother's filial piety. I can't thank you enough."
Thank you! If you need my brother's help in the future, just give me your instructions."
Fang Qidou waved his hand and smiled: "Junior Brother Yang said this, it really makes me angry! Senior brother has been relying on you a lot recently, but I haven't thanked you. Now that you meet your aunt today, I guess you can't feel at ease again in Linji Temple.
Are you here to stay? Why not go together, pick up your baggage, and formally say goodbye to the master of the temple, Yuan Yizi."
Yang Chaoxi nodded: "Junior brother has this intention! But in the future, since you admire Senior Sister Jing Xiko, I will no longer be able to help you, and you will have to work hard for it yourself."
Fang Qidou said with a smile: "Since ancient times, true love never lasts. Only tricks can win your heart! Senior brother, I am not a pedantic person. Being direct won't work. I can also try to please your Yue Xizi and Hua Xizi. If that doesn't work, I can still please Yuan Yi.
Guanzhu Zi... In short, it shouldn't be difficult to make subtle innuendos and use both the right and the strange. We are just about to say goodbye, and we just want to make a good impression in front of Guanzhu Yuanyizi!"
Yang Chaoxi also smiled and said: "Senior Brother Fang! Everyone in the world will be plotted by you. If you want to do evil, I am afraid that Luoyang City will not be able to trap you, or you may become a tycoon!"
After hearing this, Fang Qidou burst out laughing. The two of them went north to establish the Shengzhen Temple in Xingfang, and returned the two wooden knives to Lingchuanzi Liao Haiqian. They joked with each other for a few more words, and then went south again to Dunhuafang Linji.
Come and watch.
In Linji Temple, everything is as usual. It has been more than half a month since the senior sisters and sisters in the temple met Yang Chaoxi, especially during the three days of kneeling and introspection. Yang Chaoxi said that it was "famous", which is not an exaggeration.
.
When he entered the temple at this time, there were quite a few people who took the initiative to greet him. Fang Qidou was so envious that he could only mutter angrily from the side: Junior Brother Yang is a blessing in disguise, and his peach blossoms are in full bloom. If it weren't for his young age,
I'm afraid it will drive Luoyang City crazy!
Yang Chaoxi smiled, ignored him, and went directly into the side hall where Yuan Yizi Tong Chunxi practiced daily. Fang Qidou did not dare to make another mistake, so he hurried a few steps to catch up.
Tong Chunxi was explaining something to Jing Xizi Tang Juan. When he saw the two of them standing outside the door of the side hall, he stopped talking and turned to the side: "Chong Lingzi, come in!"
Yang Chaoxi and Fang Qidou bowed slightly and entered the side hall. They briefly talked about their experience in Bei City in the morning, thanked them sincerely, and then proposed the idea of returning to the mountain. This time they came here.
Farewell. During this period, Fang Qidou secretly glanced at Tang Juan several times, but Tang Juan only pretended not to know.
Tong Chunxi waited quietly for him to finish speaking, then said: "Your Gongsun temple master entrusted you to me. I should have sent someone from the temple to personally escort you back to the mountain to prevent villains from spying and doing evil things again. This is the end of it."
Due to filial piety, I won’t keep you any longer. The Fang Mansion is also one of the few prominent families in Luoyang City, so you will be fine if you live there. But if you leave tomorrow morning, I will have to let Kagaki Zi go over to protect your mother and son.
People enter the mountains."
After Tong Chunxi finished speaking, Jing Xizi bowed to accept the order, and when he turned around to go out, he gave Fang Qidou a fierce look.
Yang Zhaoxi saw it in her eyes, but she held back her smile and bowed her hands in greeting: "Aunt Chunxi has arranged this, so my nephew will thank you again on my mother's behalf! Although I have not spent much time in the temple, I am fortunate to have you and me."
This master will personally teach you martial arts, which will benefit you throughout your life. If my nephew can achieve something in the future, I will repay him with his fists!"
Tong Chunxi smiled lightly and said: "If you know what is good, it is not good. We do things, but we do not do it for your reward. Or if you think about it in a big way, your master Gongsun Zhenren should have saved the mantle and inheritance for you.
I sincerely hope that you will achieve great success in Taoism in the future, spread my Taoism practice far and wide, and benefit hundreds of millions of people."
Yang Chaoxi listened humbly, took notes, then knelt down and kowtowed three times. Although he felt that this matter was out of reach, the sincere expectations and high hopes of the two elders also planted a flower of ambition in his heart.
Fire. The blood is surging all over the body, the pride is stirring, and the feeling of self-satisfaction arises spontaneously!
Tong Chunxi looked at the young man's reaction, with implicit approval in his bright eyes: "You go ahead!" Yang Zhaoxi and Fang Qidou said goodbye to Tong Chunxi together, and went to the guest room to get their luggage.
Tong Chunxi looked at the two people's disappearing figures, smiled and murmured: Brother Xuantong, your vision of recognizing people is still so subtle, foolish sister is far behind! It's just that this boy from the Fang family behaves in a different way, whether Jing Xizi is willing to follow it or not
As for him, he can only let nature take its course. It is best not to imitate you and me and leave behind regrets in this life...
Yang Zhaoxi and Fang Qidou turned around and entered the west guest room, only to see that little figure sitting on the crescent moon stool outside, waiting for him. The delicate baby face was full of almond-shaped eyes, and the cherry mouth was slightly deflated, lying under the silkworm.
There were actually a few glistening tears. His voice was sweet and slightly crying: "Senior Brother Yang...are you going back to the mountain?"
Seeing this scene, Yang Chaoxi felt warm in her heart, but she said with a smile: "Sister Yue Xizi, senior brother is a stranger, and all the people in the audience are women. As time goes by, it is inevitable that you will be attracted by some pilgrims who don't know where they are.
, spread out unheard words. Therefore, it is right to return to the mountain as soon as possible."
Yue Xizi Tan Qing nodded reluctantly, and suddenly remembered something, and took off a small sachet from his waist: "Senior Brother Yang! You have been teaching me martial arts for the past few days, and I wanted to take you to my house for a big meal.
It seems that it is no longer possible. This is the sachet sent by my mother in the morning. Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, so I will give it to my senior brother as a token of thanks!"
Yang Chaoxi took it with a smile, but felt it was heavy when she started it, and it was not easy to examine it carefully at this moment. Looking carefully, there was a sprig of dogwood stuck in the sachet, which was crystal clear, like jade dripping with blood, in the faint fragrance of roses.
, revealing a different kind of warmth.
After Qin Qing delivered the sachet, he ran away sobbing. Fang Qidou looked at him with a strange look on his face: This guy looks really ordinary and has a thin body, but he can eat all sizes? What a weird thing.
Oh!
After all, after living here for a while, I still felt a bit reluctant to leave when I was about to leave. So I quickly calmed down my mood, packed my baggage, and followed Fang Qidou and strolled out of Linji Temple.
The two stone unicorns were still expressionless, staring at him blankly, seeming to remind him of the uneasiness in his heart when he first came to this door. And it was the first time he met Yuan Yizi, the master of the temple, and senior sister Kage Kiko.
, the situations of Junior Sister Hanakiko and others flashed before my eyes one by one involuntarily.
Just as he was feeling sad, Fang Qidou slapped him on the shoulder: "Junior brother Yang, after hanging out with women for a long time, he has become sad for spring and autumn. Let's go! If you miss me in the future, come here often
That’s it! No matter what ‘mirrors, flowers, water, moon’ she has, just put them all in the bag and enjoy the blessings of everyone... No, Jing Xizi belongs to me, and the rest will be given to you!”
After Fang Qidou finished speaking, he ran away. Because Yang Chaoxi was already chasing after him from behind like a ferocious god...
The next morning, Jing Xizi and Tang Juan were waiting outside the Wutou Gate of Fang's house. Although Lu Qiuniang still had a dull pain under her shoulder, it did not affect her walking, so she thanked Fang Qidou's mother before leaving Fang's house.
house.
When the three of them walked out of the Wutou Gate, Fang Qidou's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed. He wanted to crowd around and say hello regardless of his appearance. But Tang Juan made a "clang" sound and drew out half of the sword in her hand, frightened.
Fang Qidou took three steps and two steps at a time, quickly retreating behind Yang Chaoxi, making Lu Qiuniang smile.
However, Yang Chaoxi stepped forward, cupped her hands and said with a smile: "Senior sister Jing Xiko! This is my mother. Junior brother is not good at learning, but I have to trouble you to accompany me all the way." Tang Juan also knew etiquette, so she came up Yingying.
A gift.
Lu Qiuniang also nodded slightly: "What a trouble for Miss Tang! You came here so early, you must have not eaten breakfast yet. I happened to have some sesame cakes here, so I borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha and asked the girl to eat a little to satisfy her hunger."
Tang Juan hesitated for a moment, then took the Hu Pancake and started to eat it. But this extremely ordinary scene, in Fang Qidou's eyes, turned out to be a completely different and pleasing scenery.
The four of them left the Beifang Gate of Tongtuofang and headed west. When they reached the palace wall near Chengfu, they turned north and walked straight toward Hui'an Gate. The morning glow in the east cast golden light, covering the tall palace wall.
Above the Hezhong Tower, there is a magnificent scene of splendor and splendor.
Lu Qiuniang walked all the way, silently looking at the remaining knife marks and arrow marks on the palace wall. The lingering military disaster more than ten years ago was like a nightmare, floating and circling in her mind, lingering and lingering.
.The resolute look on Concubine Mei's face before her death was like a sharp arrow, piercing Qiuniang's heart, causing her to suffer from unbearable colic.
When Yang Zhaoxi saw this scene, she thought her wound was in pain and hurriedly came over to her: "Mom! If your shoulder hurts, we don't need to go in such a hurry. We can go back to the valley before sunset after taking a short rest."
Tang Juan and Fang Qidou also came over to persuade her, but they were not getting along well. When Lu Qiuniang agreed to rest, Tang Juan ignored Fang Qidou.
Lu Qiuniang and the three of them sat down at the foot of a wall, and then slowly said: "More than ten years ago, my aunt was still a little maid in this forbidden garden. Now more than ten years have passed by, and even Xi'er looks like this.
I'm older... I just think about the sisters in the palace who died in the military disaster that day, and I can't help but feel a little sad."
Tang Juan seemed to have been reminded of some painful memories, and her mood was hard to calm down for a long time. Fang Qidou came over and said: "It is human nature for Aunt Lu to miss people when she sees things. But the deceased is gone, and there is no point in mourning!
It is better to take their desperate desire to survive, live a good life in the present, and only rush to the future. Only if we live better is the greatest comfort to the deceased!"
Lu Qiuniang listened and nodded with a smile: "Mr. Fang! Auntie is only ten years older than you, but she doesn't see the world as clearly as you do! Xi'er has such a good friend like you, it is really a blessing from her previous life."
After hearing this, Tang Juan felt refreshed, as if a ray of light broke through the haze, diluting many sad and despairing emotions. So she couldn't help but sneer and said: "I never thought that such an invisible person could do something like this."
To say such reasonable and well-founded words.”
Fang Qidou grinned and was about to pursue the victory and boast about himself, but Tang Juan turned her head and walked away.
Yang Chaoxi made a face at Fang Qidou. He was so angry that he wanted to get angry and hit him, but when he saw Lu Qiuniang looking at him with a smile on his face, he had to hold his anger in his heart and went to sit on the other side.
Down.
Lu Qiuniang only rested for half an hour before asking everyone to get up. Yang Zhaoxi snatched the remaining small bundle from her shoulder and slung it over her body to prevent the bundle from touching the wound on her shoulder again.
When everyone left the Hui'an Gate, they found themselves in a vast fertile field, interspersed with patches of charred black. At this time, corn, millet, beans, etc. had already been harvested one after another. When they got closer, they could see the charred black color clearly.
However, the crops were left stubble after being burned by wildfires. The four of them walked along the field ridges, thus avoiding more scorch on their feet and robes.
After walking and stopping like this, when the sun was at its peak, the four of them arrived at the mountain pass leading to Yangliu Villa.
Lu Qiuniang took out a bunch of more than a hundred large coins from a baggage carried by Yang Chaoxi, forced it into Tang Juan's hand, and then said: "Buddha talks about cause and effect, Tao talks about fate. Although aunt has never met the master of your temple, but
You should be well rewarded for your care of Xi'er over the past few days. Although my aunt is poor, she can still afford these more than a hundred incense. Miss Tang, don't refuse anymore! Let's make a good relationship with her aunt.
When you have free time, I will go and offer incense in your temple!"
Tang Juan had no choice but to accept it. Then she smiled sweetly at Yang Chaoxi and said: "Junior brother Chong Lingzi! My junior sister Hua Xizi asked me to tell you: let go of the past. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely surpass you in swordsmanship! Senior sister hopes
Don’t slack off. If you are not as good as others in the future and are taught a lesson by my junior sister, as a senior sister, I will have no choice but to help with the marriage rather than with the kiss!"
Yang Zhaoxi cupped her hands with an embarrassed look on her face: "Junior brother, please teach me! My swordsmanship will definitely be worse in the future, so I have to avoid seeing her..." After hearing this, Tang Juan burst out laughing. Fang Qidou was there.
On the side, people were already stunned.
Yang Zhaoxi handed over to Fang Qidou Gong again: "Senior Brother Fang! Let's say goodbye here. The green mountains will not change and the green water will flow forever. We will meet later..."
Fang Qidou suddenly rushed forward and slapped Yang Zhaoxi on the forehead: "Why are you pretending to be a martial arts hero? I've been holding it in for a long time and I've wanted to beat you up! Let me tell you, when practicing martial arts, you should never leave your hands with your fists. It's best for you to go back.
Don't be lazy, otherwise you won't be able to keep up with the speed of my progress. Next time I beat you, Aunt Lu won't be there to protect you!"
Yang Chaoxi rubbed his forehead and said with a smile: "I'm sure! Brother Fang should look after Senior Sister Jing Xiko more when we go back this way! Don't let the strong men blocking the way take her away. There is no place to cry..."
Fang Qidou interrupted his provocation with a roll of his eyes: "You still need to teach me..."
After Jing Xizi heard this, she gritted her teeth and showed a dangerous expression. When Yang Zhaoxi saw it, she turned around and pulled Lu Qiuniang away: "Mom, let's run! These male and female Taoist priests are going to turn against each other..."
Lu Qiuniang smiled and waved to the two of them, then followed Yang Zhaoxi. The two figures gradually melted into the golden mountain forest in the autumn.
Jing Xizi Tang Juan turned around, but the smile on her face quickly faded. She glanced at Fang Qidou with a cold look, and then quickly returned to Luo City. Fang Qidou's smile became even stronger, and he followed him with a stern look.
Up.
After Tang Juan ran a few steps, she heard the sound of footsteps behind her, so she suddenly stopped without warning, drew her sword, turned around, and struck.
Fang Qidou said "Ouch" and fell backwards, pretending to be injured by a sword and lying twitching among the grass and trees.
When Tang Juan saw such a rogue appearance, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
Fang Qidou stood up like a carp, and said happily as if he had found a treasure: "You laughed! Junior sister Jing Xizi..."
Tang Juan's face turned cold again, she walked away quickly and ignored him.
Fang Qidou followed again, smiling and sighing in his heart: Sure enough, this woman turned against her faster than turning the page in a book! But... I like it!
