The sun was shining brightly and the wind was blowing slowly. There was a sudden bang at the entrance of a certain cave in the mountains. It turned out that the stone at the entrance of the cave was smashed.

Fenghua patted the dust on his body and stretched his waist. He turned his head to look, and the surrounding trees were so big that they covered the entrance of his cave. He didn't know where the stone came from. It was pitch black.

He raised his right hand to his forehead and looked up at the top of the mountains.

The white clouds in the sky fluttered with the wind, changing shapes from time to time, as if talking to the blue sky.

Feng Hua squinted his eyes, stood on tiptoe and flew towards the top of the mountain. He needed to know where he was now, and it had been a long time since he had replied to Grand Master, and the color of his clothes had dimmed a lot.

At that time, he had retreated in Mangqing Cliff, but he didn’t know if it was because of the cheats. As his practice gradually improved, he could hear the voices of the people above him while sitting in the cave at the bottom of the cliff, so he couldn’t calm down at all. Last year, he almost lost his temper. If Grand Master hadn't arrived in time, his little life might have been lost.

After that time, Grand Master insisted on telling him to go out and find a secluded place to practice in peace.

This group of mountains was also found by chance, and he didn't know where he came from after wandering around.

Now that the work is finally done, Fenghua eagerly wants to go to Grand Master to discuss it.

There is a small village beyond the mountains. Fenghua falls from the sky and lands on the river bank.

On the opposite side of the river was a woman who was washing clothes, when the man suddenly saw a person falling from the sky, he sat back in fright, kicked his legs and was about to get up and run away.

Feng Hua stretched out her hand and hurriedly said: "Eldest sister, don't be afraid, I just lost my way in the mountains, come here and ask how to get to Mangqingya."

The woman paused, and slowly turned her head to look at him. After a while, she stood up and patted the dirt, and said, "I'm scared to death, I thought I saw a ghost in broad daylight."

Fenghua touched the water surface lightly, and in two or three strokes he reached the opposite bank.

Seeing this, the woman took two steps back, but didn't run anymore.

Feng Hua said: "Sister, may I ask where is this place?"

The woman's cheeks were slightly red, and she raised her hand to pin the broken hair behind her ears, and said, "It's Linshan Village."

Fenghua frowned and then let go, he smiled: "Thank you, big sister."

The woman stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck to see his back, until he disappeared, then turned around and squatted down to continue washing clothes. She blushed and said with a smile: "Oh, I don't know why I entered the mountain. It’s so pretty, I thought it was something refined..."

Fenghua walked in the village. There were not many people here, but he seemed to be living a good life. There were many crops in the fields, and there were many fruit trees on the nearby mountains.

He walked straight along a main road for an unknown amount of time. The house gradually disappeared, and there was land on both sides. Fenghua raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his head.

"Hey-"

Suddenly there was a shout from behind, and Feng Hua jumped to the side in fright.

An old man drove an ox cart and stopped beside him, and said with a smile, "Little brother, I've called you many times, but you haven't stopped even a single step."

Feng Hua twitched the corners of his mouth, his mind was completely empty in the hot weather, and he didn't expect that there would be people on the road at this time.

"Uncle, uncle, where are you going?"

The uncle patted the basket on the car, and said with a smile: "Go to the market in front of the city, and help the big guys buy some meat. The holiday is coming, and everyone wants to eat something good."

"Holiday?"

"Reunion Festival."

Oh, it turns out that it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Brother, where are you going? Grandpa will pick you up for a while?"

Just as Feng Hua wanted to refuse, he saw that the road was quite long out of the corner of his eye, so he agreed, "Just like you, go to the city." He went to the back of the car, raised his buttocks and sat on it, with his legs dangling underneath.

The uncle smiled, waved his whip and said, "Hey!"

The old cow mooed and shook its tail and walked forward.

"Brother, are you not from here?"

Fenghua thought that her clothes must be very different from theirs, so she didn't lie: "Well, I got lost when I went out to play."

He looked at the receding sky and clouds, and asked, "Master, why don't you go to the market when it's so hot?" Usually it's afternoon.

The uncle laughed loudly and said: "Yuan, you have to fight for a seat when you get there, oh, those people are so fierce."

Fenghua turned to look at those baskets: "What are these?"

The uncle opened it for him to see, it turned out to be some fruits and vegetables.

"It's all grown by the big guy himself. It's delicious. Here, try it." The uncle took a white radish and handed it to him.

Feng Hua smiled and waved his hands: "You can keep the money for selling." It was amazing to say that he didn't feel hungry at all after retreating for so long.

The uncle said it was okay and stuffed it into his hand.

The time passed by the two of them talking and chatting along the way passed quickly.

"Yuncheng?!" Fenghua looked at the city gate with wide eyes.

After signing, the uncle came over and said with a smile, "You know me?"

Feng Hua nodded.

The uncle shook his head and smiled, this little brother is probably a son of a certain family in Yuncheng, it would be nice if he could go home.

The two said goodbye at the gate of the city, and before they parted, the uncle brought him two more apples, Fenghua hurriedly expressed his thanks.

"Hurry up and go back, there are a lot of bad guys out there."

"Well, thank you, sir."

Fenghua went straight to the pawn shop with two apples in her pocket.

"How much do you think this is worth?" Feng Hua took out a jade pendant from his secret pocket and put it on the table.

The buddy picked it up and put it in front of his eyes, then said for a moment, "50 taels."

Feng Hua wiped the apple, took a bite, squinted at him, and said, "200 taels."

The guy swallowed his saliva, tilted his head and shouted, "Boss, come and have a look!"

"Come here, come here, I want to see everything, I want you to have..." The boss opened the curtain, walked over cursingly, and stopped talking abruptly when he saw Fenghua.

He walked over with a smile, and said politely, "Sir, pawn or redeem?"

Fenghua took a bite of the apple, smiled, and pointed at the table: "This piece of jade costs 200 taels, boss, would you like to see it?"

The boss rubbed his hands and went into the counter, picked up the jade pendant and looked at it. After a few moments, his eyes widened suddenly, he looked up at Fenghua, then looked down at the jade pendant carefully, and then looked at him in shock. Ba Dao: "You, are you the leader of Fenghua?"

Feng Hua frowned, threw the apple core outside the door, looked up and down at this person, he looked like an ordinary businessman, why...

"My name is Fenghua, and I'm not a leader."

The boss came out and suddenly knelt down on one knee, respectfully said: "See the leader, my subordinates have been waiting for you for a long time."

Fenghua looked at him expressionlessly, isn't the leader the Grand Master, when did he become him?

The guy on the side was also stupid, he didn't understand how to pawn something to become a big boss.

The boss raised his head and said with a smile, "You haven't been back for 30 years."

Feng Hua frowned, leaned on the counter, and looked at him like this: "...you get up and talk."

The boss had to get up, put the jade pendant gently in front of him, lowered his eyes and said: "You were in seclusion back then, and there was no news for several years. The leader sent many people to look for it, but they couldn't find it. Then At that time, there were rumors in the world that the Demon Sect had a martial arts secret book, which could make people live like people in fairy tales without eating or drinking, so many people began to deliberately attack Mangqingya.

The Hierarch and Hall Master Ning led the congregation to resist together. For more than ten years, the Treasure Pavilion in Mangqingya was almost emptied by those villains, and the rumors gradually disappeared.Three years ago, the leader died of illness. Hallmaster Ning spread the message that you will be the next leader, and the congregation did not object.In order to find you, the towns around Mangqingya have set up many shops belonging to the Demon Cult like this shop. Hall Master Ning has ordered that if you see someone carrying this jade pendant, you must stay.

At the beginning, everyone was very concerned about this matter, thinking that maybe he was an apostate, and Ningtang mainly punished him, but later some disciples learned from Ningtang Master that you were carrying this jade pendant when you left. Only then did I realize that it was waiting for you, and this jade pendant is also a clue to confirm your identity..."

The man had long since hid in the back room, and he knew what was to be heard and what was not to be heard.

Fenghua stood there with her chest folded and listened to him silently.

The boss looked up at him, waiting for him to say something, but there was nothing between the two of them.

"you......"

Feng Hua raised his hand to stop, he frowned and said: "I can't believe you right away after you say so much, so I'll go back first, originally I planned to play for a while, now it seems... Forget it, now that I know where it is, I know how to get back."

"If you need silver, my subordinates can give it to you." The boss went into the counter again and took out a handful of broken silver.

Feng Hua waved his hand, picked up the jade pendant and walked out.

Still in his mind was the route that Chu Jing took him out at the beginning, Fenghua walked half a circle around the city before finding that route.

It takes two hours to ride a horse, but Feng Hua only managed to walk for less than an hour with his lightness kung fu.

Mangqingya is the same as before he retreated, but there are some cracks in some places on the surrounding stone walls.

Fenghua stood at the entrance of the cave, and the two people standing outside the cave stretched out their hands to block his way, and one of them asked, "Who is here?"

"Fenghua."

The two looked at each other, and the man continued: "Do you have a token?"

Fenghua took out the jade pendant and hung it in front of them with a rope.

The two looked at each other again, then knelt down on one knee and respectfully said: "My subordinates refer to the leader."

Feng Hua hummed: "Get up."

"Master, Hall Master Ning said that you will go to the Treasure Pavilion to find him when you come back."

Fenghua nodded and walked into the entrance of the cave. The entrance of the cave was very wide. The firelight on the stone wall cast his shadow on the top of the cave.

Walking out of the cave, Feng Hua suddenly stood still, turned his head and looked around.

Two stone pillars fell down, the trees on both sides were also thin, and the main hall was repainted...

Fenghua pursed his lips tightly. Only then did he begin to believe what the pawn shop owner said—he had really been in seclusion for a long time.

There were no guards outside the Treasure Pavilion, and all the trees were gone. The attic stood there alone, and it was indescribably desolate.

He opened the door and went in. There was no one on the first floor, and there was no one on the second floor.

On the third floor, a middle-aged man with gray temples was sitting there reading a book.

The man turned a page of the book in his hand when his footsteps stopped.

"I'm back."

Fenghua suddenly had a sore nose, he hummed, walked over and sat down.
