The swallow flew back, and the dagger flew back with it, but he remained silent and just stood on the bamboo top combing his feathers.
The Taoist was still sitting at the door waiting.
The sun sets in the west, and the sunset creates smoke.
The Taoist sat at the door all night, Sanhua Empress and Xiao Jianghan also sat at the door all night. The swallow stood on the bamboo top all night, and the yellow dog also lay in front of them and stared at them all night. When the chicken came back to the cage, it lay down on it.
At the door of the chicken coop, it waits for the chickens to come out, and it is guarding them, and it is quite caring about the family.
Until the next morning, it suddenly turned its head and looked somewhere in the distance, then ignored the Taoist and ran away, disappearing into the bamboo forest.
Song You knew that its owner was back.
After a while, there was a faint jingling sound in the mountains, which must be the bells of mules and horses, coming from nowhere.
The sound is getting closer and clearer.
I could see the direction clearly, but the hermitage in the mountain was blocked by dense bamboo forest, so the Taoist couldn't see anything.
However, the Taoist in front of the bamboo house, the girl beside him who imitated the Taoist in sitting cross-legged, Xiao Jiang Han who imitated the girl in sitting randomly, and the swallows on the bamboo tops all looked in that direction following the sound.
The swallow lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Ding ding ding..."
The sound soon arrived in front of the bamboo forest. It was clear and sweet, and accompanied by the chirping of cicadas from all directions in the mountains, made the Taoist feel a little more hopeful.
A horse appeared in the bamboo forest.
It is still a yellow-maned horse with short legs and short legs.
But I saw only horses and no people.
A yellow dog bit the reins of a yellow-maned horse, leading it through the bamboo forest toward the house in the forest.
"Well?"
Empress Sanhua was stunned for a moment, then turned to look aside.
"brush!"
A figure flashed out from the right side of the house, holding an unsheathed long knife. The blade was bright and cold, and it happened to catch her gaze.
"!"
Empress Sanhua jumped up and landed on the ground, already standing. She subconsciously put her hand into her robe and looked in that direction.
After sniffing and seeing clearly, he was stunned on the spot.
"?"
The people opposite were also stunned on the spot.
The two sides looked at each other, their gazes stagnant.
Xiao Jianghan got up belatedly and looked at Sanhua Empress in confusion, then at the knight holding a sword in the distance. He didn't know why, but he imitated Sanhua Empress and jumped on the spot with great effort.
He jumped up to a finger's height and almost lost his balance when he landed.
The Taoist casually supported her, and with a smile, he turned to look at his old friend.
"Xia Xia, long time no see."
The yellow dog in the distance stopped and stared at them, its eyes flickering, trying to observe and think about the situation.
"laugh!"
The long sword was sheathed and the silver light was put away.
The yellow dog also relaxed immediately.
At this time, in front of the Taoist was a woman dressed in black. She was as tall as a man. She wore a bamboo hat and covered her face with a cloth. She casually pulled off her scarf. Her face was a little rounder and whiter, but she still had a familiar look.
"How could it be you? How do you know I live here? How did you find me here?"
"It's all fate."
"..."
The woman then held the knife in her hand, looked at the Taoist, then at Sanhua Empress, and said to them: "We have been separated for many years, but are you still okay?"
The Taoist also stood up and bowed his hands in return.
Empress Sanhua naturally followed suit.
"Everything is fine."
“Everything is fine!”
"Miss Sanhua seems to have grown taller."
"really."
"!really!!"
"How is the heroine doing after so many years of separation?" Song You also asked.
"I'm living a good life. It's much better than before. It's almost the life I always wanted to live." The woman walked over with the same tone and expression. She glanced at the baby next to the Taoist and asked, "What did you give birth to? How does it look like?
It doesn’t look like you!”
"Come from the river." Song You said, "Maybe he will be the next generation of my successor."
"I guess so."
The woman took out the key and opened the door.
"come in."
The Taoist said nothing, but just stepped in.
The furnishings in the room are simple, so they are not cluttered and are kept clean. In the middle is a wooden table and several high benches.
Wu Nuxia casually threw the long knife in her hand. There was a nail on the wall and a lanyard on the knife. The long knife just hung on the wall. Although it was dangling, it did not fall. Then she walked into the next room.
I brought a few bowls, scooped out a ladle of water, and placed them on the table.
"I don't have anything good to drink here. I brewed some wine some time ago, but it turned out to be a bit too strong. I had vomiting and diarrhea after drinking it, so I won't serve it to you. The mountain spring is very sweet."
"That shouldn't be a problem with being too energetic."
"Who knows!"
The heroine held up the bowl and raised her head, slurping it a few times to get a bowl.
The Taoist fed Xiao Jianghan first.
"A few years ago, we passed through Anqing again to revisit our old places and pick up old memories. We heard from local people passing by Yanxiantai that in addition to Master Shu, there was another master who entered Taoism through martial arts. It turned out that the master they mentioned was Wu
Heroine."
Wu Nuxia has a round face, which makes her look smaller and younger, and her age is not obvious compared to her peers. Now she is not young anymore, but her appearance is not much different from that of many years ago.
It should be caused by martial arts.
"When I left Changjing, I returned to Yizhou. I played in Anqing for a few months, and in Yidu for half a year. I also went back to the Xishan sect to have a look. Then I thought of what I said before, so I picked a few
In the end, I chose this place by mistake and lived in seclusion. It was far away from the world, and far away from people's hearts. However, there were more and more goblins and ghosts in the mountains, which was very annoying. It was also thanks to you that I originally lived in Changjing and
You have accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with them by exorcising evil spirits and subduing them. I killed a lot of them, and later on, I also helped the people around me to exorcise evil spirits and subjugate them.
"It's strange to say that after living in seclusion, I rarely practice martial arts deliberately. Practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current. If I don't advance, I will retreat. Plus, as I get older, I am naturally not as good as when I was young.
"It was indeed like this at first, but then for some reason or another, the feeling in my heart became stronger and stronger. The speed of swinging the knife became slower and the strength became smaller. But when I held the knife in my hand, I became more and more aware of how it should be done.
Use is the great road. The closer the connection with it becomes, the deeper the understanding becomes. There is a kind of mysterious feeling. The more demons and demons are slain, the more so.
“Until later, everything was clear and bright.
“It’s quite natural.
"I went to the last Liujiang Conference, but I didn't register my name and didn't show up. However, Shu Yifan, the sword wielder, sensed it, and that's when everyone knew about it.
"..."
Wu Nuxia spoke very naturally, as if the separation had not existed for such a long time. Apart from accumulating a lot of things to say, she had accumulated nothing else.
"Can't you see those chickens outside?"
"I saw it."
"I feed them, and they don't finish the eggs every day." Wu Nuxia asked again, "Did you see that big red rooster?"
"I saw it."
"I specially fed it to you. I originally calculated the time. You will return to the Taoist Temple before this autumn. I will definitely visit you then, so I took it with me to celebrate the opening of the door for you. But I didn't expect that there are still several months.
You found me first."
"It's strange to say that we were just passing by outside the mountain and heard the barking of dogs here, but we didn't come to disturb us. Later on, we met someone on the road who had monsters in the village and came to ask for your help, so we came to visit with them.
." Song You said, "Unexpectedly, it is your residence."
"That's a coincidence! What about the monster?"
"It was eliminated by the swallow yesterday."
"Hey! By the way! Where is your horse?"
"I had important matters a few years ago, so I couldn't take him with me, so I asked him to go back to Fulong Temple first." Song You said, and couldn't help but ask, "Is the horse that the heroine brought back just now the same one as before?
"
"Of course it is. I take good care of my BMW horse. It can live to at least thirty years old, maybe thirty-five years old." Wu Nuxia said and shook her head.
But now its strength, legs and feet are not as good as when it was young. It is already old and can only carry some things, not people."
"I see."
Song You couldn't help but smile.
What a good thing.
"I also fed a dog." Wu Nuxia grinned and glanced at Sanhua Empress. She found that Sanhua Empress was staring at her seriously, and she quickly looked away.
"It's a good dog."
"I also caught a cat from a village in the east to feed. It was a hemp cat. Unfortunately, I kept it for two years and I don't know where it went."
"It's normal for cats to have wild tempers."
"They were probably eaten by wild beasts in the mountains."
"Not necessarily."
"Yes, it's almost noon. I have to go get you a meal first."
Wu Nuxia put down the bowl and stood up again. She stopped and thought for a moment. She walked into the kitchen first and took a knife when she came out. Then she walked outside into the bamboo forest and picked out the fattest and biggest old hen.
With just one stride, he was already in front of it. He stretched out his hand and grasped it. Faced with such a skill that could kill monsters, the old hen had no power to react or resist.
"Kekeke..."
"Don't bark, don't bark. Raise chickens for a thousand days, and use chickens for a while, and they will soon feel comfortable."
The heroine killed the chicken and comforted it at the same time.
The Taoist stood at the door behind and watched, watching her skillfully kill the chicken and bleed it, then put the blood into a bowl. The chicken gradually stopped struggling, and she seemed to know that the Taoist was watching behind her as she did so.
While talking about these things: "I have lived here for so many years, and I have never entertained others for dinner. You are the first... This craft is getting better and better, but it is not a good idea to find friends to taste it."
Well, let me tell you, you are lucky.
"It's a pity that you came too suddenly..."
"There is everything in the mountains behind here. When I am free, I take my dog to the mountains. I often catch game and I have eaten bear paws. If I had known you were coming, I would have gone to the mountains to give you whatever you wanted.
Get something strange that you can’t usually eat outside..."
He kept talking with his mouth and hands, boiling hot water, scalding the chicken and plucking the feathers, and lighting a fire with corn and grass to burn off the fine hairs. It was completely different from before.
