They went down the mountain this time for walking, and the first place they went was where Xie Yantang grew up.

The small boat sailed through the clouds against the wind for three or four days before arriving in Dunzhou, Huxiang.Xie Yantang was born in the Wei family in Song City. She was the youngest daughter of the family, so she took the nickname "Wei Niang". He returned home and was cared for with gold and silver pills. It was not until the death of his parents more than 20 years ago that he repaid the grace of life.

The two of them didn't want to alarm the mortals, so they landed in a secluded place, the boat was still a nuclear boat the size of an inch in diameter.This object was originally a tool for viewing and entertainment in the world, but it is extremely exquisitely made. It has a canopy, eight small windows on the side, carved railings and painted walls, and everything is complete. As small as sesame grains.There are also boats, stoves, pots, cups, tables, screens, scrolls, etc., all of which are lifelike.Wei Miaoqing of the Qingjing Hall was amazed when he saw it, and said that his skill had already entered the ranks of spirits and monsters, and there was no one better than him in the world, so he brought the object back to Taiqingzong, refined it into a magic weapon, and then donated it to Fenglou, who then gave it to Fenglou. The lower Ye Guhong used it for the strength of his feet.

Ye Guhong put away the nuclear boat, tidied up his clothes before going out with Xie Yantang.Here is a small hill on the outskirts of Songcheng. The lake is full of water and mountains, and it is spring, the water is overflowing, and the blue color is magnificent. Before walking out of the forest, the sound of laughter can be heard from across the forest.After walking down for a while, I saw many young men and women swimming by the water, holding fragrant grass, singing and laughing.

Ye Guhong was taken aback for a moment, but immediately understood: "It turned out to be Shangsi today."

There are many Miao and barbarians in Huxiang. After being opened up, Guiyi, Xinhua, Muen and other counties were set up. For hundreds of years, Han people moved here one after another. The customs invaded each other. The habits are more open than those in the Central Plains. It is common for young men and women to go out and play together. , especially in spring, there are more Miao-Yi song meetings, and open-minded people also participate, and even the county head occasionally comes to have fun with the people.

The two walked and watched, and when they were about to cross a wooden bridge, Ye Guhong stopped suddenly, glanced at the willow tree at the bridge head, and said with a smile: "We are the ones who disturb other people's interest."

The willow tree at the head of the bridge is very tall, with thousands of silk ribbons hanging down, blowing in the wind like blue waves.There are round stones and several stone piers under the tree. On the stones are a plum blossom offering spring pot and a small silver cup. There are also a few pieces of paper on which the ink is still wet, but it is unknown where the owner has gone.Ye Guhong said humbly on the bridge: "I'm waiting to pass by, I don't have any other intentions."

After a while, I heard the rustling of the willow branches, and a flat shape was slowly squeezed out from the cracks in the trees. After landing, I rubbed my head and hands and feet, and gradually became round, and finally became a human shape, with a square scarf and red shoes, and the hem of the clothes. But a section of the furry tail was exposed, and there were still two thin whiskers around the mouth.He took a closer look at Ye Guhong and Xie Yantang, and bowed his hands like scholars in the world: "Student Gu Xuan has seen two immortals."

Ye Guhong asked with a smile, "Which family is it?"

Gu Xuan raised his beard and said: "A certain is a student of the Taiping Empress, who advanced in the autumn of the previous year with proficiency in arts and sciences." He asked the two to sit down on the stone pier, and took two wine glasses from the burden under the stone and put them together. Taking the black silver enamel pot, he said courteously, "The village wine is poor, and the immortal has a taste."

Ye Guhong took a sip, the taste of the wine was not strong, it was slightly sweet, it was probably brewed from turpentine glutinous rice, which can be obtained after four days of storage in an urn in winter and spring.Seeing him drinking wine frankly, Gu Xuan put his mind half down, and seeing him take the paper beside the pot to examine, he immediately embarrassed, twirled his thin beard, and said embarrassingly: "The writing is crude, don't stain the eyes of immortals."

On the paper is a five-character poem about citron.This product is produced in the Yueshan Mountains in the south of Hunan Province. In autumn, there are many ocher pearls and golden fruits, and the weather is rich and noble, so many people move them from the mountains.And the fragrance is long-lasting, which is quite sought after by literati. They are offered with plain cups and clean plates, which captures the taste of quietness and tranquility. For example, in an ancient Xuan poem, there is a sentence "Picking incense with the hands of servants, and dividing into a quiet plain porcelain kiln".Ye Guhong turned down again, but the handwriting was different, the style of writing was thicker, but the title was the same, he couldn't help laughing and asked, "I don't know where the teacher is sitting?"

Gu Xuan squinted his eyes and smiled, his fine whiskers moved accordingly, and said in a crepey way: "Don't dare, a certain main hall is in the Xu family in the west of the city. Because of admiring the legacy of the sages, I asked my child to learn, 'The wind dances with the scorpion, and returns with singing', How beautiful." After talking about it, he shook his head even more, fascinated.

Ye Guhong is really speechless, this fox is more unique than ordinary people after reading the book.Seeing that Gu Xuan had already started chattering about the children in the hall, he couldn't help but look back at Xie Yantang, showing a slight prayer.A smile flashed across Xie Yantang's eyes, and he spoke for the first time: "Why were you hiding just now?"

Gu Xuan was still able to talk eloquently to Ye Guhong, but when he saw Xie Yantang open his mouth, he was tongue-tied and hesitant for a long time before he understood that strange things happened here several months ago. The family members rushed to see the blood dripping all over the ground, and a two-headed black bird with a hooked beak and huge claws like snow perched high on the beam and flew away with three mournful cries.Later, another village woman, Mrs. Xu, saw wasps in the field and drove them away with her scarf. The wasps suddenly became as large as a plate, and suddenly split into two leaves, which combined and smashed Xu's head.The village woman who was traveling with her was almost terrified to death, but she fainted immediately, and then she regained consciousness after drinking ginger juice.

Such two incidents occurred in succession, and Song Cheng panicked for a while, trying to explain away, and setting up a list to catch monsters. When they were discussing about going to pay homage to the Taiping Empress, a Taoist priest came slowly with a little boy, and revealed the truth of the arrest. The demon list showed a double-headed black bird and a green snake to everyone.

"The taoist priest said that he fought with an evil man and finally killed him, but accidentally lost a pair of monsters and a magic weapon he kept, so he followed the traces all the way to Huxiang." The rakshasa bird is transformed from the aura of accumulated corpses, it is as big as a gray crane, it can change and make troubles, and it likes to eat people's eyes.After the demon escaped, he lurked in the ancient tombs on the outskirts of the city, sneaked in while the bride's sedan chair was passing by, and then hid in the new house. After the guests left, he pecked out a pair of eyes of the newlyweds.The other is a basilisk, which can transform into a human form, speak human language, take advantage of the twilight to transform into a cousin of the fourth middle school of the neighboring city, and enter his home in the name of celebrating his birthday. It is strangely shaped at night, like a snake with two hands, its tongue is more than ten feet long, and its color is like cinnabar. After devouring one head, and wanting to eat another person, he was stopped by a Taoist priest, and turned into a butterfly, as big as a wheel, with wings like sharp blades, and was struck by the Taoist priest's vermilion pen, and his original shape collapsed. die.

Although these ancient announcements were recounted, it was as if they had seen it in person, when it came to the tense point, a pair of narrow eyes widened, and even the thin beard on the cheeks couldn't help but stand on end.

Ye Guhong said: "Why did you get hurt by that Taoist priest? Did he generalize it?" He saw it well, according to the climate of ancient Xuan, he definitely couldn't hide his beard and tail, obviously not long ago After being imprisoned by the technique, and looking closely, the technique actually has the shadow of a famous family.

Gu Xuan Qi Qi Ai Ai was even more hesitant than before, Ye Guhong listened patiently for a while, and then realized that Gu Xuan saw this Taoist priest's strength, and he felt sympathy for each other, but he was naturally shy, so he followed him all the way, hoping to be able to Find an opportunity to make friends and make friends.In the end, not long after leaving the city, he was shot down by the Taoist priest. If he hadn't escaped quickly, a fox would have died there.However, he was recovering from his injuries and couldn't live in peace, so he made up his mind to spend some time drinking while he was young, but he happened to meet Ye Guhong and the other two, and he was terrified for a while, so he hid between the trees without even packing his things.

Ye Guhong figured out the ins and outs of this, he couldn't laugh or cry, he turned his head to look at Xie Yantang, the brothers and sisters met each other's eyes, they both knew the other's helplessness, the world said "cunning like a fox", but this is just a stupid fox .

Until entering the city, Ye Guhong still laughed when he thought of it from time to time, and Xie Yantang squeezed his palm, "If you think about that idiot again..." What he said afterwards is self-evident.Ye Guhong suddenly remembered what happened on the way, his face flushed immediately, and he didn't mention Gu Xuan anymore.The two walked slowly and looked at each other. At this time, Xie Yantang had left home for more than 50 years. Most of the people who had known each other when they were young had grown mane hairs. Show it to the younger brother.

Gradually walking into an alley, a sycamore tree slanted out from the side. The branches are covered with new and extremely green leaves, and the stars under it are dotted with many small round hair balls.Walking to the entrance of the alley, Xie Yantang suddenly stopped and looked towards a gate diagonally opposite, "That's the Wei family."

Ye Guhong followed the trend and saw a gray wall covered with gray tiles, moss-stained corners, and the place near the door was cleaned spotlessly. A sycamore tree exposed green shade from the courtyard wall. The door is simple, but the building is also elegant. Profound and measured.Xie Yantang watched from the spot, but did not step forward.Seeing his younger brother looking at him in surprise, he was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly: "I don't know what to say to them." Seeing his eyes drooping and his expression unclear, Ye Guhong wanted to persuade him, but he really didn't know what to say.Just as he was hesitating, there was already a man on the other side of the street with his eyes wide open, staring at Xie Yantang and looking again and again, both surprised and delighted, even his voice trembled: "But Second Lady?"

This sudden sound caused chaos, Xie Yantang and Ye Guhong were walking in with their maidservants and their heads clustered, while Wei Weiniang's elder brother hurriedly came out on the way.Seeing the younger sister with the same face at first glance, she was stunned for a moment, but she burst into tears before opening her mouth.

Above Wei Weiniang, there were three elder brothers and one elder sister. The elder sister married to Yizhou and died five years ago; For ten years, only the eldest brother Wei Huizhi and his wife lived in the old house of the Wei family. Now seeing the youngest sister suddenly, the scene of the year's drooping hair was vivid before his eyes, and he choked for a moment, unable to say anything.

Wei Huizhi was more than ten years older than his younger sister. When his wife Yuanshi came in, her younger sister Wei Niang was only two years old. Because her mother-in-law was sick, she almost raised her as her own daughter.It's so easy to grow up to be six years old, able to read and recite poems, but once enlightened by a fairy, from then on, the fairy is separated, and when I see you again, I am like a guest, and I can't get close to him again.After the old couple left, Wei Niang didn't show up again. Although she felt worried, she was relieved for no reason.Unexpectedly, after more than 20 years, I came to visit suddenly again. Apart from emotion, it was also embarrassing.

Not only the Wei family, but also Xie Yantang.Because they came so suddenly, Yuan Shi had to call someone to clean out a yard hastily.After the servants and maidservants retreated, Xie Yantang sat on the couch in silence, the crescent moon light came in through the window, casting deep shadows under his eyelashes.Ye Guhong sneaked over, hesitant to speak.

Seeing that his gait was as cautious and vigilant as a kitten, Xie Yantang felt it was funny, a smile appeared on his cheek, he stretched out his hand and led his junior to sit down beside him, and couldn't help stroking his ear.Ye Guhong turned his head to respond, and said softly: "I forced it." He only "if you want to know the future, you have to ask the past", but he didn't expect that there is a future, and he can't go back.

Xie Yantang stroked his temples softly, and said: "Fish forget each other in the rivers and lakes, and people forget the road. Isn't it unique to practitioners." From the day he was enlightened, he knew that he would never be with this body again. What is the same as blood relatives.Like a peony leaning forward to look at it in spring, it happened to pass by the side of her hair, that moment, that's all.

Ye Guhong felt sorry for him, and sighed softly following Xie Yantang's voice, "If that's the case, let's go."

Xie Yantang said: "But there is something unfinished." After speaking, he made an avatar, but it looked like a woman, tied her hands and bowed to the two, took the pills and walked away slowly through the wall.After a few steps, I came to the backyard.Wei Huizhi was preoccupied, and after wandering around for a long time, he fell into a trance, and only heard the sound of shoes coming from him, and the clinking of rings, and suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, and saw that it was his little sister standing in front of the bed.Just as she was in great embarrassment, she suddenly heard Wei Weiniang say: "My little sister is about to leave, so I came here without permission. I have a medicine and a word to give to my elder brother."

Pointing to the pill again, he said: "This is the pill for removing difficulties, and it is useful for nourishing life. Brother, keep it for future use." Next, I heard the younger sister say: "I look at the weather at home. I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe in the near future. The third brother should not be delayed in the court. He hastily resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown, so that he can get out of this disaster."

Wei Huizhi was astonished, "What disaster is it..." In desperation, he cheered up, but there was no trace of the younger sister in front of him, and the pillow and mat were still warm, and he was in a trance, not knowing what happened just now. Dreaming is waking up.He couldn't help but sighed, glanced at it casually, and saw that there was indeed a pill rolling around on the table.Immediately frightened, he hurriedly called someone to change clothes, turned on the light and rushed to the residence of Xie and Ye.

The whole family was awakened and followed, but no one answered when they knocked on the door.Pushing open the door and entering, I saw silence inside and outside, with no lights in the dark, and when I entered the house, the two of them disappeared without a trace, leaving only a piece of jade slip as a proof of their previous arrival.Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, no matter how many words they said, they all sighed in the end.
