Only the shadow looks to the evening and the strings are missing. A wisp of Hua Yao leaves.

Listening to the small building, the stars are cold in the sky, and the butterflies are dreaming of dreams at the lamp.

The feathered clothes make the clouds pass, who rings the Zen bell? It startles the beads and tears to turn the frost.

Even more, I can't stand the full moon. The light overflows, and my mind makes snow.

The breeze picks peach petals again, one or two, and a few whimpers.

The clouds and water are vast and connected to the sky. When the songs are played, the sounds are unresponsive and the sky is strong.

At the 3rd hour of the 16th and 2nd month, on the island rock on the north bank of the island, a woman in white plays the piano and plays the piano.

As the song sounds rose, the woman sang in harmony, but listened to the sound of the piano, the lonely and cold, the strings were sorrowful, the singing was sorrowful, and the lyrics were sad, and the meaning of the poem was sad. In the breeze and the moon, it made people feel desolate.

Standing quietly in the forest, Xu Wenxiangzhu was silent in tears, the lingering sound echoed, and sighed quietly, and turned to the island.

When he arrived at the entrance of the bamboo fence wall of the East Courtyard, Zhao Yongan, who came from the east bank, saw Xu Wenxiang's face with tears, and was shocked, "Miss Yinxiang, what's wrong with you? Miss Lin?"

"It's okay... Junior brother, junior sister and the others have all left, and they suddenly feel lonely. I just heard the junior sister play the song, which has caused melancholy..."

It turned out that the woman playing the piano on the rock on the north island was Lin Wanzhen. Luo Xiaoyao, Xiao Muyun and Mu Daocheng left the island north to Yunzhou at noon, but she came to Mowang Island at three o'clock in Shen Shi.

"Oh, Zhao also feels uncomfortable. When Senior Mu and Mr. Luo go to find the evil woman, Zhao will follow him whatever he says."

Zhao Yongan settled for a moment and said, "Just just now, Zhao put the newly built boat under the observation deck for later use... Alas, if there were spare boats on that day, it would definitely not be allowed to escape."

When An Longxing fled, Mu Daocheng and the other two were unable to leave the island in the morning. Fortunately, a fishing boat passed by, so they left on the boat at noon. When Mu Daocheng arrived at the east coast, he ordered Old Han Yang to purchase two fishing boats of large and small to send them to the island.

"This evil guy just had a moment of good luck..." Xu Wenxiang said, but when he saw Lin Wanzhen holding Qinxing, he hurriedly stopped him and greeted him, took the Qin, and said with a smile: "I went out of the island all at once, but it was unaccustomed to me. I just wanted to chat with my junior sister, and I listened to you, but I dare not disturb you... I also turned back first, walked into the yard, sat down and talked."

Zhao Yongan naturally didn't want to disturb her sisters' chat, so he bowed and left to the west courtyard for rest.

After Lin Wanzhen sat down, she asked: "Did the master and his wife say when will they return to the island? There are also Senior Brother Luo and Senior Sister Xiao..."

When she came to the island, it happened to be the meal time. She had never asked about the return date of Chu Nanfeng and his wife, Luo Xiaoyao and others. When Xu Wenxiang went to pack the tableware, she felt melancholy, but she went to the rock on the north island to play the piano and send her arms.

"I heard that my husband and I were going to stay in the academy for a while. I thought I would not return around the middle of next month. Junior Brother Luo and the others... I think it was about that time."

"Oh? It takes one month?" Lin Wan was completely unrest, "Didn't she say she wanted to go to Prince Xing's Mansion to find that evil woman?"

"This trip is more than 5,000 miles away from Yunzhou. If it weren't for the journey day and night, it would take ten days. After hearing that Junior Sister Xiao would pay homage to her father, she would also have to go to Youzhou to visit her brother... It should take a long time to go."

Xu Wenxiang paused, sighed, and said, "The reason why they turned to the island again was to take me to save Cui'er. I... really owe my junior brother, too much, too much..."

"Senior sister must not think so. What is friendship between the same family? It is like a family member..." Lin Wanzhen looked at Xu Wenxiang with guilty expression and sighed in her heart, but she was afraid that she would be sad. She looked at the guqin placed on the stone table and turned to the topic, "This zither is called 'Wangyue', and it is brought to you to Senior Sister Xiao. Now you can only keep it for you first..."

"What does junior sister mean..." Xu Wenxiang was stunned.

"I think I'll go north to Bianjing tomorrow, and there are still some things to do there. I will come to the island before the tenth day of next month, and I will accompany my senior brother and sister to Xingwang Mansion."

Xu Wenxiang only thought that Lin Wanzhen returned to Jingnan to break the situation in seclusion. After listening to her touching song, she knew that she was sad. However, Xu Wenxiang didn't know about Lin Wanzhen's emotional journey and Shang You's saving her to death, and even if she wanted to comfort her, she had no idea.

She originally wanted to keep Lin Wanzhen as her companion on the island, so she slowly let go of her sad thoughts. After hearing this, she guessed that Lin Wanzhen's trip to Bianjing might be related to her mood, so she also gave up the idea of ​​persuading her.

...

The next morning, Lin Wanzhen said goodbye to Xu Wenxiang and Zhao Yongan, and rode his horse all the way. When he passed by Jinjiang Town, Jiangzhou, he suddenly remembered the pig-killing scholar he had met. When he arrived at the butcher shop in his memory, he found that the shop had changed its signboard, changed its business shop, and turned into a noodle shop. He was surprised for a moment and turned his horse's head and came to the inn where he settled in the sun.

Now she disguised herself as a man. But when she heard her inquiring about the pig-killing scholar, she stammered for a long time and refused to tell her. When Lin Wanzhen let go of her female voice and told the scene of staying in the store that day, the shopkeeper recognized her and said that the pig-killing scholar had fought with someone a month ago.

Lin Wanzhen was stunned when she heard this, and came to her senses. She asked carefully about the appearance of the person who fought with the pig-killing scholar, but was shocked. She also guessed that the person fighting was Chu Nanfeng, and she sat on the Changchun for a while, speechless for a long time.

After a while, I thanked the shopkeeper with a suspicious face, rode my horse to the south of the town, and came to the street entrance, looked at a small hill in the southwest, hesitated for a moment, and then led the horse away, but I wanted to find the so-called Wuxuan Mountain mentioned by the Pig Slayer.

Passing a field path, entering the forest road that is about a hundred feet away from the streets in the town, following the forest road near the widest meter to the southwest, and arrived at a small hill about fifty or sixty feet high, finding the path to the mountain, tied the mount to a big tree by the roadside, and headed towards the mountain.

When I reached the mountain, I saw a small stone path on the left, leading to a bamboo forest more than two meters high. Lin Wanzhen remembered the poems that the pig-killing scholar recited that day. With a thought, she walked up the stone path on the left and walked into the bamboo forest.

After walking six or seven feet, my eyes suddenly opened up. I saw a flat mountainous land that was more than ten feet square, and there was a plum tree planted. In early summer, the plum blossoms had already withered, and a few buds were seen in the bare branches.

A bamboo house was built next to the mountains rising to the north. Lin Wanzhen hesitated for a moment and walked through the path in the plum forest. When he walked to the bamboo house, he saw that the wooden door of the bamboo house was closed, but he did not see the lock on the outside. After listening carefully, it seemed that no one lived in the house.

But thinking that this pig-killing scholar's martial arts is unfathomable, Lin Wanzhen thought about it, stood five feet from the wooden door, held her fists and said, "My younger generation, Lin Wanzhen, come to see Mr. Li."

After no one responded for a long time, Lin Wanzhen walked to the door, hesitated for a moment, sighed, finally giving up the idea of ​​pushing the door and turning around and leaving.

Two days later, we arrived at a place more than twenty miles away from Xuzhou City and turned a corner. But we saw more than ten feet away from the front, and the leaders were Changshan, Meng Xiaohu and the other two carriages followed behind us, and there were thirty or forty men wearing uniforms on both sides.

Lin Wanzhen was surprised and led the horse up, walked to the front of the team, jumped off the horse and held a polite manner and said, "Wanzhen has met Uncle Chang, Uncle Meng..."

Meng Xiaohu and Chang Shan were stunned and looked at each other, then Meng Xiaohu laughed, "You disguised as a man, but you confused Uncle Master... Are you from Jingnan? Have you broken the realm?"

Lin Wan really wanted to answer, but saw three people getting off the two carriages that had stopped. The one in the first car appeared with Chang Qingqing and Miao Kexue, and the other in the second car was Luo Hanshui.

Lin Wanzhen was even more surprised and was so busy that she went to meet the three of them and greeted each other.

Luo Hanshui looked at Lin Wanzhen, nodded and smiled, "Congratulations to Miss Wanzhen for getting to the next level. Awesome, amazing. With your talent, Xiaoyao may not be able to compare..."

"My master is too awarded..." Lin Wanzhen's face turned slightly red, "How dare I compare with my senior brother?"

It turned out that Lin Wanzhen returned to Jingnan to practice for more than half a year and had already entered the state of small spiritual consciousness. Changshan and Meng Xiaohu had not reached the state of spiritual consciousness, so he naturally could not see it.

"Haha, I heard Xiaoyao say that when you started, you were just a small success in Guizhen. You broke a great realm in more than two years. This talent is extraordinary." Luo Hanshui smiled slightly and paused, "I think you rushed to Mowang Island just after breaking the realm, right?"

"That's right, have you seen your senior brother and the others?" Lin Wan was really smart, but when Luo Hanshui asked this, he guessed that Luo Xiaoyao and the other two had already met Luo Hanshui after they went to Kaifeng.

"Well, Xiaoyao two days ago, Xiao Muyun stayed in Kaifeng with Senior Mu." Luo Hanshui nodded and smiled, "I saw that Mu Yun had not returned to the mansion for many years, nor did he try to keep him. They just rested for two hours and went north to Yunzhou... Are you looking for Xiaoyao, and Mu Yun came?"

Lin Wanzhen shook her head when she heard this, looked at Chang Qingqing and replied: "I am here to look for Princess Qingqing..."

Chang Qingqing was very surprised, "Sister Wanzhen is here to find me?"

Lin Wanzhen nodded with a smile, "It's because of the hidden Qi Pill..."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Hanshui laughed, "Like the elders in the pavilion, they all want to search for Qingqing's hidden Qi Pill. Let's go and talk to the carriage..."

Lin Wanzhen was surprised and followed Luo Hanshui to the second carriage with Chang Qingqing. As the team moved forward, Luo Hanshui would listen to Lin Wanzhen.

It turned out that he was not familiar with Cheng Zheng and had never been invited to attend Cheng Rou's wedding. However, due to Chu Nanfeng's relationship, when Mr. Jiang Qiubai was overjoyed, he also attended Cheng Rou's wedding on the sixth of April.

I originally planned to return to Fangzhou on the day when Chu Nanfeng sent Chu's father back to Taibai Mountain, but the return journey was delayed because the arrangements for the elders from all over the country had not been resolved.

Several of the elders who were willing to worship the Shenhu Camp heard Elder Fu talk about the assassination of the Liao envoy and became very interested in the wonderful use of the "hidden Qi Pill", so they asked Luo Hanshui to come forward and ask for it. Chang Qingqing naturally agreed.

The Great Zhou was about to use troops to the Shu Kingdom to recover the four prefectures of Xichuan, but they needed the "March Pill" and the Da Yao Jin Chuang Medicine. Guo Rong asked Chang Qingqing and sisters, Meng Xiaohu, to lead a group of people to the Yaowang Valley to make medicine, and Luo Hanshui went along the way.

After listening to Luo Hanshui's lecture, Lin Wanzhen's face turned slightly red, "Last time after Mr. Mo returned, he also talked about the wonderful use of Yinqi Pills with the masters of the royal palace. They came to find their father and asked the younger generation to come forward to Princess Qingqing to ask Princess Qingqing... but they were afraid that they would cause inconvenience to Princess Qingqing."

"Many martial arts experts know that as guest officials around the court, their dangers are better than those in the world, and secretly ordered to assassinate them..."

Luo Hanshui paused and said, "Some characters don't want to be seen by outsiders in order to act, which is normal... But long-term use of the 'hidden Qi Pill' is not beneficial to cultivation. Does Miss Wanzhen know?"

Lin Wanzhen was stunned and shook her head.

Chang Qingqing continued, "I heard from my dear father that taking this hidden Qi pill once can have seven days of efficacy to make your cultivation work under the realm of Guizhen. If it is matched with sealing Ren and the key points related to the Du meridian, it can also make people seem to have no martial arts."

"But the reason why it can suppress the cultivation of the meridians is that the meridians slow down the speed of qi and blood circulation. Long-term use will cause the meridians to shrink, but it has an impact on cultivation..."

"If Sister Wanzhen needs it, Qingqing asked her to ask her to the adoptive father for the sake of her, but she needs to write it down... Let me explain to the person who uses the pill, it is best to use it once every six months to avoid harming her."

"Thank you, Princess Qingqing, for reminding me that I will give you the effect of this elixir to the elder Jingnan."

"The elder who originally wanted a large handful of pills..." Luo Hanshui smiled and continued, "When he heard that there were this side effect, hehe, everyone took back their thoughts. Each of them only had ten pills."

"I heard from my dear father that this elixir is easy to obtain, but it is not easy to refine. It takes half a month for each furnace to complete the elixir. However, if nothing unexpected happens, a elixir can produce fifty grains, and there are three elixirs in the valley... Then use them together, and it is enough for one time."

"So many?" Lin Wanzhen was a little surprised and smiled, "Mr. Mo and the others thought that this pill was difficult to refine, and each person dared not ask for more. A total of six people asked for eighteen pills. It seems... I want to add another twenty pills to it and leave them for later use. I wonder if the princess can give it to you?"

Chang Qingqing was stunned, and Luo Hanshui laughed, "Miss Wanzhen is not only honest, but also a strategy person. Okay, okay, I'll take all the rest of Master Luo, haha..."

Luo Hanshui, as the leader of Tongbao Pavilion, was the leader in the layout, so he naturally wanted to leave some hidden Qi pills for use. Lin Wanzhen and Chang Qingqing were a little surprised when they heard this, and then looked at each other, and laughed happily.

...

At noon on the ninth day of the fifth month, in the Yaowang Valley, Lin Wanzhen and the others walked on the mountain path with bamboo baskets on their backs.

Looking at Chang Qingqing, who was hiding sweat beads on his forehead, Lin Wan felt pity and took out a scented handkerchief and handed it over, "The weather is getting hotter, but fortunately the mountains are cool. Come, sit down and rest..."

"Thank you, Sister Wanzhen, I have it on my side." Chang Qingqing pushed the fragrant parfait she handed over, followed Lin Wanzhen to a rock near a foot, and put down her backpack and sat down.

"I think Princess Qingqing, you think you are amazing. From Chen Shi, I came to this mountain to look for medicinal materials. I walked for nearly two hours, but I didn't see you crying about being tired."

The paths in the deep valley of Yaowang Valley are rugged, mostly dangerous paths, and they have to climb steep rocks. Lin Wanzhen, who has achieved some magical abilities, also felt a little tired. If she hadn't said that she would have rested, Chang Qingqing would have probably not stopped.

"A few years ago, my adoptive father often appeared in the mountains to collect medicine. He was used to it. Why not with my mere Guyuan Xiaocheng realm, I might not be able to walk anymore."

Chang Qingqing smiled, "The adoptive father said that the hidden Qi pill can be refined. When we return to the courtyard of the middle of the valley, we will definitely see Mr. Luo coming to get the pill... Sister Wanzhen, do you want to send the pill back to Jingnan in person?"

Lin Wanzhen shook her head, "I want to trouble Master Luo to send an Arrow Guard to send me, so I will go directly to Mowang Island. Princess Qingqing, where are you?"

"Now my brother and Ke Xue have escorted a large number of medicinal materials back to Beijing, which is enough to deal with a big battle... I want my adoptive father and others to go to Bianjing with me for a while.

Now that my adoptive father and his team have free time, they think there is no excuse to not walk with me. Hehe, now I am alone again, so they will definitely not be assured to let me go back to Beijing alone."

It turned out that in Changshan, Meng Xiaohu and the others had already escorted the "March Pill" and Jin Chuang Medicine back to the capital. Chang Qingqing just waited for the hidden Qi pill to be refined and persuaded Miao Xiuzhu and his wife to live in the capital with Yuan Bo.

"You urged Ke Xue to leave with Master Master first. It turned out that it was intended. Haha, the princess is so smart."

"I asked my adoptive father and mother to take Uncle Yuan to Bianjing several times, but I was always pushed... I had to use some thoughts."

Chang Qingqing raised his eyes and looked at the vast tree that was stopping by, and smiled, "Take Cangmeng to visit..."

I thought I understood Chang Qingqing's words, and suddenly my wings spread out, dived in front of the two of them, screamed, and then fluttered my wings and flew into the air.
To be continued...
