The peach branches in the back mountain peach forest are full of petals flying, and the breeze is fragrant.

Xu Wang promised that the tomb of the Master had been renovated much larger than before, and it was much more solemn. Looking at the stone tablet, Luo Yu's tentacles were dancing, and his hands were cold, but he felt extremely comfortable! Maybe this was his heart.

temperature?

After placing the worship items, Xiaofan looked at Luo Yu who was constantly wiping the dust on the tombstone. She stood aside quietly without disturbing him.

Luo Yu wiped it over and over again until the monument was spotless. Then he placed a willow branch full of green leaves on the eaves of the monument. Then he slowly took back his hands and knelt down in front of the tomb. Seeing this, Xiaofan also knelt aside.

Looking at the icy cold monument on that side, Luo Yu tried his best to smile: "Teacher, Xiaoyu is here to see you."

Although it was a short sentence, Xiaofan's ears made her heart tremble. When she saw the young master's forced smile, she couldn't bear it, "Young Master must be feeling very uncomfortable at the moment."

?'

At this moment, Luo Yu lit up the money, and when the flickering firelight reflected on his cold mask, he said dejectedly: "The disciple has failed the teacher's expectations. The sect has not yet risen and is destroyed before our eyes. Now the disciple has exhausted his cultivation."

Lost, I don't know when to revive the sect, I can't repay my teacher's kindness, and I feel like I have failed Ling'er. I think back to the time when I was named on the gold medal list, and I still hear the words of the emperor who refuses to marry me when I go to court. I never thought that my disciple would still do it.

Kill that heartless and unjust person."

Xiao Fan couldn't help sobbing and said: "Sir, why do you blame yourself so much?"

Luo Yu laughed at himself, shook his head and said: "You are still young and don't understand the cause and effect of heaven. The result is the Tathagata. If it is all attributed to others, how can we achieve today's results? The teacher taught, 'When encountering setbacks, you should first think about your own mistakes.'

.No matter how small the fault is, it is still part of the cause of the bad consequences."

"Master, Xiaofan knows..." Although Xiaofan understood Luo Yu's words, he couldn't see him being so sad and blaming himself. When he was about to persuade him, he heard Luo Yu seem to be talking to himself: "

I heard people say that shooting stars can make wishes, which is very effective. When I was a child, I watched the shooting stars streaking across the sky, but I always couldn't make a wish. When I grow up, when I meet the person I like, I hesitate and hesitate, and in the end it is too late.

...We couldn’t help each other in the past, and we can’t forget each other now.”

Hearing Luo Yu's murmur, Xiaofan looked at his desolate back and remained silent.

Exhaling a turbid breath, Luo Yu looked at the peach blossoms and distant mountains flying all around, and said sadly: "People often say that when they are tired and sad, they can just go home and take a nap... But this Peach Blossom Valley, this green

Qiu, I am sitting alone... This secluded mountain and sea are thousands of miles away, and this vast sky and earth are covered by clouds, but they have become a box that locks me... Where is my home? I pray to the white mountains and sea, and ask

Dao Chengxian glanced at his hometown, but everything was in vain."

The wind roared, bringing up the mountains of smoke, and peach blossoms flying up into the sky. Looking at the extinguishing flames swaying in front of the monument, Luo Yu looked up to the sky and closed his eyes, and Xiaofan's light and graceful singing sounded in his ears: "

...The clouds and winds are about to return, the peach blossoms are blooming, and the past is filled with mountains and entering the heart; outside the sky and the earth, the valley is empty and misty, and the whole life is as bright as seeing the clouds; the immortal sect looks at the white crane, and the broken dreams become empty, facing the stele, a thought of fate is bitter green

The clothes are covered with dust; at the foot of Qingqiu, there is a peach blossom house, the spring rain is gone, spreading all over the beautiful mountains..."

After hearing this, Luo Yu opened his eyes and sighed: "I betrayed her and have nothing, so... that's fine! I don't think there will be any more ripples in my heart. Although this story is not perfect for me

, but it is an ending after all, so I wish her perfection..."

Looking at Xiaofan with sparkling eyes, Luo Yu rubbed her head and forced a smile, then looked at the tombstone and said: "Teacher, nine years have been wasted, Xiaoyu... misses home! Missing the warm embrace of her parents,

... I want to go back, even if I just take a look at it from a distance, I will be satisfied... I know this is difficult, not to mention that my Dantian is now disabled, but I want to try."

While Luo Yu was telling the empty monument, Xiao Fan suddenly looked at Peach Blossom Village at the foot of the mountain and said in surprise: "Hey, sir, many people have come in the village, wow, that sister is so beautiful, like a fairy!"

"

Hearing Xiaofan's words, Luo Yu stood up and looked doubtfully. Although he was far away and could not see as clearly as Xiaofan, but through the peach branches on the mountain, he could recognize the beautiful woman in white at a glance.

It's the spirit that I miss day and night.

Luo Yu was immediately delighted: "Ling'er!" After saying that, he was about to rush down the mountain, but suddenly a heroic man came to Qian Ling'er and gently put a white velvet cloak on her shoulders. Qian Ling'er

The son smiled back.

Seeing this, Luo Yu suddenly froze on the spot. Xiaofan came to his side and said in surprise: "That sister of the young master is Sister Ling'er? She is so beautiful...ah! Young master, go find her quickly?"

After exhaling and retracting his reluctant eyes, Luo Yu saluted Confucius' tombstone and said, "Teacher and disciple are gone."

After saying that, he walked over to Xiao Fan who looked expectant and said, "Let's go."

Xiaofan suddenly said happily: "Okay."

But before Luo Yu had gone far, she was surprised to find that the young master was leading her towards Shannan!

Seeing this, Xiaofan pointed to the small mountain village in the valley and reminded anxiously: "Young master is wrong, wrong, Peach Blossom Village is over there!"

Luo Yu continued to move forward without looking back and said: "The Five Elements Sect is in the south!"

...

Half an hour ago, on the official road of Qingqiu Town.

At this time, the spacious official road was no longer as clean and smooth as usual. Instead, it was full of potholes and bumps. Occasionally, corpses were exposed in the wild. The villages in the distance were dilapidated and dead.

"Ta-ta! Ta-ta!...!" The deafening sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded!

Zhao Zhiqiang, wearing black armor and an iron-faced black helmet, roared past like a black dragon, causing the soil to fly, and crows to fly up in surprise and circle the branches.

Waiting for the long dragon of cavalry to gallop past, then the Zhao army rolled in continuously on the plain. The black flags fluttered and made a hunting sound, like Ringo's spear piercing the sky! On the plain there was nothing but the sound of footsteps that could shake the mountains and rivers.

, there was no other sound at all, it was full of chilling intent!

The Northern Territory of Zhao was unstable. King Zhao had appointed Xing Hou Tao De as the General of Zhenbei half a month ago, leading an army of 100,000 horsemen and infantry to the northern border to prevent unexpected events. Unexpectedly, it was a step too late. At this time, several important towns in Dongzhou of Northern Xinjiang fell.

The important town of Ningdong Town was massacred. Although the land of Zhongzhou was much better, Qingqiu Town was destroyed in one day. Countless people died in Qingqiu territory, and families were broken up and people died everywhere.

Looking at the desolation all around, Todd sighed and slowed down his horse. When a carriage approached, he said melancholy: "Junior sister, the sergeant just sent news that Taohua Village was looted and slaughtered by the Yan army yesterday and only a few people were left.

.Hey~"

At this point, Todd didn't want to talk any more and sighed.

The curtain of the carriage opened instantly, revealing a pale but stunningly beautiful face.

Qian Ling'er looked at Todd in disbelief, who was sitting high on the saddle and wearing armor, and asked in surprise: "Why is this happening?"

Todd pointed to the desolate surroundings and the dilapidated village not far away and sighed: "This is war."

Looking in the direction that Todd pointed one by one, Qian Ling'er felt sad and confused: "The two countries are fighting, fighting on the battlefield, attacking cities and plundering land, why are they killing the people?"

Seeing how sad she was, Tao De comforted her with a few words of worry, and then continued: "In normal times, we wouldn't massacre people. But things are different now. In the desolate land of Beiyan, there has been continuous civil strife and a lack of supplies. The winter has just passed.

It is unsustainable. Therefore, we are sending troops to plunder the supplies of our country, Zhao, in search of opportunities to survive. This is a battle of life and death. Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all creatures as stupid dogs."

As soon as Tao De finished speaking, before Qian Ling'er could say anything else, he saw a scout knight coming with a flag! Seeing this, Qian Ling'er put down the curtain and returned to the car. Before the scout came close, he had already shouted at Tao De.

: "Report! Report to General Zhenbei. The Yan army has shrunk to the north of Qingqiu Town for some reason. Outside the city, there are a large number of oxen and horse-drawn carriages loaded with supplies. The same is true for Dongzhou."

Hearing the scout's words, Tao De immediately sneered and said: "The Yan army is indeed a group of barbarians who only know how to loot." After saying that, he looked at the scout and said, "If there is any abnormality in the Yan army, come and report."

The scout accepted the order and hurried away as promised.

After the scouts had gone away, Tao De told the general beside him: "Send the army to station outside the valley at the northern foot of Qingqiu Mountain."

Hearing the words of General Tao De of Zhenbei, the general asked in confusion: "General, the Yan army is near Qingqiu Town. Why did our army go to camp at the foot of Qingqiu Mountain, thirty miles away?"

Tao De drove his horse forward and said calmly: "There is nothing to worry about the Yan army. It is the Qingming Festival. It will not be too late to deal with them after I have finished paying homage to the immortal master."

"What?!" Hearing Tao De's words, the general was stunned on the spot! The war was about to begin, and the Zhenbei general didn't go to defeat the enemy and rescue the surviving people, but he actually wanted to pay homage to the deceased immortal master!

Thinking of this, the general sighed helplessly: "Hey, a scholar is a scholar after all, how can he lead an army?"

Just as he was sighing and murmuring, Todd, who was already several feet away, suddenly reined in his horse and turned around, smiling: "Don't worry, I will let you see how the scholar leads the army today."

After saying that, he looked shocked and walked away with a cold sweat on his face.

Looking at General Zhenbei leaving with lingering fear, General Xiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and murmured: "This Marquis Xing's ears are so wind-blown that he can hear me from so far away! Hey, no matter what, who can let me know?

He is the commander-in-chief, and I, the general, just obey orders."

Thinking of this, General Pian sent an order to the Chinese army.

Half an hour later, Tao De left the army stationed outside the valley, while he, Qian Ling'er and a hundred other personal guards headed towards Taohua Village.

Passing by the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, entering the entrance of Taohua Village, looking at the devastated and broken scene, Qian Ling'er felt sad in her heart, her eyes filled with tears, and she felt sad for it.

Tao De was about to comfort him, but Qian Ling'er seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly ran anxiously towards the small building in the village. Seeing this, Tao De also sighed, took the white velvet cloak in the hand of the maid, and walked towards the village.

Seeing Qian Ling'er standing quietly outside the small fenced yard in the lotus pond, Tao De frowned slightly, came closer and put a cloak on her, and then said with concern: "You are weak. If the small building is seriously damaged, don't leave it now."

Let’s go in and reorganize and clean up for the sergeant, and we’ll talk about it after we pay homage to the teacher.”

After hearing what Tao De said, Qian Ling'er managed a smile and nodded.

After ordering the sergeant to clean up, Tao De helped Qian Ling'er walk on the rugged mountain road toward the peach grove in the back mountain.

...

I don't know when, the drizzle fell continuously.

At the foot of the mountain, Luo Yu stopped and looked down at the beauty looking around in the peach forest in the distance, and the familiar figure standing aside. He remained silent for a long time.

Xiaofan, who was holding an oil-paper umbrella next to him, finally couldn't hold it in anymore and asked: "Why don't you go to meet me, Master?"

Luo Yu laughed at himself: "I have countless reasons to want to see her, but I lack an identity that allows me to see her!"

"Identity?" Xiao Fan murmured doubtfully, but Luo Yu interrupted her thoughts and said, "Bring me some wine. The master wants to get drunk today and then rest. He will use the green mountains and greenery as his bed, and the rain and mist as his blanket."

Hearing the young master's words, Xiaofan obediently crossed the Qiankun bag, and suddenly a wine gourd was revealed. Seeing this, Luo Yu picked it up, blocked the covered oil paper umbrella, and walked southward while looking up to the sky.

Drink alone.

Watching the lonely figure in the green shirt swaying and gradually disappearing away, Xiaofan turned back to look at the woman in white in the peach forest, and then chased after Luo Yu with a look of reluctance.

All that was left was a broken bamboo slip on a solitary rock in the mountains, inscribed with Juanxiu's small characters - 'I would like to go to the capital with my senior brother, and I will have no regrets in this life'.

The shadows of the green mountains, the rest of the clouds and mist, and the heart-breaking song of the empty rain.
