Yangzhou is a place where merchants from all over the world gather. After nightfall, it is not as quiet as the West Lake. When entering the city, there are still people coming and going on the street. Ye Ying and Ye Hui walked in front, and Jing Shu followed behind them. The eyes are full of prosperity, and the mind is unconsciously drifting away.

The three of them settled down at the inn, it was getting late, so they rested separately.

Maybe it was because she had slept for a long time during the day, but Jing Shu lay on the bed without feeling sleepy, so she simply opened the window and looked out. The lights of thousands of houses meandered on the street and formed a long dragon. past scene.

After staring blankly for a long time, when Jing Shu came back to her senses, she felt that You Dao's eyes were on her, but when she turned her head to look, she saw only an open window.Jing Shu's room was next to Ye Ying's. She looked at the empty windows and doors for a while, and whispered, "Did I...cause you guys trouble again?"

Night Breeze was silent and no one answered.

"I studied since I was a child, and I understand that the four seasons cycle, the withering and flourishing of vegetation is the principle of heaven and earth, and life and death are also involved in it. It's just... understanding the reason and not being sad about it are two different things." Jing Shu sat by the window, musing Looking at the moonlight above his head, he whispered to whom he was talking to, "Why is Benben's lifespan so short... How nice it can be with me..."

Small whispers came to his ears, and the man by the window leaned against the wall with his sword in his hands and closed his eyes slightly.

The next day, Ye Ying and Ye Hui were going out to do errands, and Jing Shu stayed in the inn. Before leaving, Ye Ying told her that they might not come back until after noon, and gave her some money so that she could wander around.

Leaving the inn far away, Ye Hui said with some concern: "Brother, wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to just let her stay in the inn obediently? After all, she is still young, how can she explain to Aunt Lan if she loses it?"

"Although Jingshu is young, her mind is the same as ours. If she goes out, she will naturally find her back, but right now..." Ye Ying recalled the situation when she stayed in Luomeiju in Zhuang Nei all day and didn't talk to anyone. Sad, "It's great that she's in the mood to go out."

Ye Hui finally understood, this little girl did not follow them out to do business, she was clearly brought out by his elder brother to relax.

As Ye Ying expected, Jing Shu didn't leave the inn all morning, and only walked around before noon.Yangzhou snacks are different from those by the West Lake. She looked at a basket of hibiscus-colored translucent oil cakes on the stall, and the sweet smell of sugar oil filled her nose. After thinking about it, she took out her purse and bought another one.

Holding the oil cake and walking back, Jing Shu's footsteps suddenly stopped, and she looked under a tree beside the moat. When she bought the oil cake just now, she felt that someone was watching her, and now she felt more and more watched. Hair is clear.Looking in the direction, she saw a white-haired old man sitting on a stone, wearing a gray priestly robe, in stark contrast to the spotless whisk in his hand.

"Little girl, come."

The old man waved at her, and Jing Shu became more and more convinced that this man was watching her, she walked up and bowed slightly, "Old man."

A bright light flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he looked her up and down, "The little girl is alone?"

"Well, senior is also a person?"

"It used to be, but now there is one more you, so there are two people." The old man stroked his long beard and smiled slightly, "I am ashamed to say that the old man was entangled all the way and was accidentally stolen by thieves, and now he is living here. It seems a little..."

As he spoke, he looked at the oil cake in Jingshu's hand, which had a very clear meaning.

Jing Shu looked at the palm, then looked up at the benevolent old man, and passed out her small hand, "Then this is for seniors to satisfy their hunger."

Withered eyes narrowed into several wrinkles, the old man took it with a smile, and grasped Jing Shu's wrist with his haggard hand.Strange to say, as soon as that wrinkled hand touched Jing Shu's pulse gate, a heat flow passed from the old man's fingertips into her body, and Jing Shu subconsciously withdrew her hand.

"Yo, it's alright." The old man let out a long breath as he quickly caught the oil cake that came out of his hands, "It would be a pity if it fell on the ground!"

Seeing that his face was kind, Jingshu didn't look strange, but felt strange in her heart, she pursed her lips and said nothing.

"What a kind boy." Carefully putting the oil cake into his arms, the old man suddenly asked: "Little girl, are you interested in practicing Taoism with the old man? , it will be a great success in ten years."

Blinking, Xiu Dao?

"Jing Shu."

Hearing a call from a distance, his black eyes immediately followed the sound, and saw two men in yellow shirts standing at the door of the inn looking this way, it was Ye Ying and Ye Hui who had returned.She turned her head to look at the old man who was still smiling, didn't speak, just bent slightly, and then ran to Ye Ying's side in small steps.

"Looks like a Taoist priest." Ye Hui sized up the person who was talking to Jing Shu, "Little girl, what did he say to you?"

Jingshu replied dully: "He said he would let me practice Taoism."

Ye Hui's expression was very strange after hearing this, "Brother, it's a good thing we came back early, if it was later, we would have to go to the Taoist temple to find someone, and the one we found might be a little Taoist nun."

"...I don't want to go to the Taoist temple." Hearing Ye Hui's teasing intention, a pair of beautiful eyebrows immediately frowned, "The old man...is so strange."

"What's so strange?" Ye Ying naturally also saw the old man. Although the Taoist robe was broken, there was a trace of detachment between his brows, unlike ordinary people.

Jingshu frowned, she couldn't tell what it was like, looked at her empty palm, and suddenly realized, "He...he took my oil cake!"

The pretty face flushed suddenly, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were full of annoyance, and she finally came back to her senses, "Am I being cheated?"

Ye Hui's uncontrollable laughter echoed in her ears, and Ye Ying looked at Jing Shu, who was frowning, with a hint of tenderness on her lips, "If you want, I will accompany you to buy another one."

Standing in front of the oil cake stall again, Jing Shu took the oil cake handed over by the stall owner with a blushing face, turned around and whispered to the man standing next to him: "Thank you, Young Master."

"You'll be fine."

Seeing that Ye Ying's eyes were quite dark, Jing Shu asked, "Young Master, are you thinking about that old senior just now?"

Looking down, Ye Ying looked at her slightly blinking eyes, and hummed.

Looking at Bai Nen's palm, Jing Shu frowned, "When that old senior touched my hand just now, it seemed like something broke in, and it disappeared as soon as he let go."

Her thin lips parted slightly, and her heart seemed to move, "Follow me."

In the lobby of the inn, Ye Hui saw Ye Ying and Jing Shu coming back and went straight into the room, feeling strange and followed.

Inside the room, Ye Ying signaled Jing Shu to stretch out her hand, and put her fingers on her veins to slightly mobilize a little internal force. The familiar heat flowed in along her wrist, and she had to shrink her hand back conditionedly, "Don't move."

Junxiu's eyebrows frowned not long after, Ye Ying withdrew her hand, and looked at Jing Shu who didn't know what to do with a complicated expression. People who practice martial arts have smooth meridians and internal breath circulation, but Jing Shu has blocked meridians all over her body, so she is not a talent for martial arts .

"Brother, what's the matter?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Ye Hui thought there was something wrong.

"Just now the Taoist priest checked Jing Shu's pulse. In order to avoid any discrepancy, I checked it for her. Fortunately, there is no serious problem." Ye Ying explained lightly, with doubts in her heart. If Jing Shu is just a Ordinary people, why would they be visited?

Ye Hui glanced at Jing Shu who was dazed, and was surprised, "I used to think that this girl has good ears and eyes, and most people can't avoid her, why don't you show it to the masters after returning to the village, maybe she is a good seed for martial arts. It’s better not to learn some kung fu and stay close to me, so as not to be deceived by others.”

Embarrassed by Ye Hui's words, Jing Shu wrinkled her face and said like an oath: "I will never talk to weird people again."

The business of the Ye family brothers went out to discuss business smoothly. The prestige of the hidden sword villa has been widely spread in the Jianghu since the two famous sword conferences. A sharp weapon, or built for making friends with this famous family in the south of the Yangtze River.

Two days later, the buyer invited the brothers again to finalize the deal, so they were ready to leave for the village on the fifth day.

When I came here, I went down the river by water, and I had to go back by land. Jing Shu looked at the horse that was two heads taller than her, and felt a little worried for a while.

Not only she is worried, but the Ye family brothers are also worried. It is undoubtedly the fastest way to go back and ride a horse, but Jing Shu has never ridden a horse before, and I am afraid that she will not be able to bear the trek all the way. car?"

"……Um."

There were three people sitting in the spacious carriage, Ye Ying sat on the side with closed eyes and sat quietly, Ye Hui and Jing Shu sat facing each other on both sides, after a while Ye Hui also closed her eyes, and Jing Shu was the only one left. The curtains were raised to look at the city full of smoke.

After staying in Yangzhou for a few days, the haze in her heart has dissipated a lot, and now on the return journey, her expression is not as gloomy as when she came here. When she thought of Ye Ying who took her out of the house with great pains, she glanced over secretly.

He still looked downcast and silent, his expression indifferent, as if he didn't care about ordinary things in the world.If he was comprehending the sword quietly, the eyes of others would not be loosened no matter how many times, but if he was still paying attention to the outside world, he would move his lips slightly as he is doing now.

Jing Shu hurriedly retracted her gaze, staring straight at the small gap where the curtains floated up.

Qing Juan's eyes stayed on the back of her head for a second before closing again, and the carriage was silent.

With the sound of horseshoes stepping out of the city gate of Yangzhou and onto the official road, the sound of prosperity fades away, and the self-contained ethereal air of the mountains and forests comes from all directions.

"Brother." Ye Hui, who closed his eyes and rested his mind, suddenly opened them.

Ye Ying slightly pressed the hilt of the sword, humming softly.

Ye Hui got up and opened the curtain and walked out. The carriage also stopped at this time, and there was an old man in gray robe standing in front of him, just blocking the middle of the road.Ye Hui stood on the frame and bowed his hands, "Senior has been following me secretly for three days, I don't know what's going on?"

After stroking his long beard, the old man walked up slowly. Although his steps were slow, his breath pressed forward like overwhelming mountains and seas.The mountain wind is hunting, and the vegetation in the forest is shrouded in an invisible deterrent.

Jing Shu suddenly felt a suffocation in her chest, and she couldn't breathe. The wind coming through the curtain seemed to tear her body out, and her legs kept trembling.

The man's aura was all on Jing Shu, who was not good at martial arts, Ye Ying's eyes were condensed, she got up and supported her trembling shoulders, even through the material of her clothes, she could feel the coldness of her body.He patted Jingshu on the back shoulder, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Nodding, Jing Shu hugged her body and curled up into a ball. Ye Ying's eyes flashed a look of trepidation, he walked out with his sword in hand, and looked at the old man ten steps away, "Jing Shu doesn't know martial arts, senior? So difficult?"

The turbid eyes narrowed slightly, and as soon as she rolled up her sleeves, she took her breath away. Jing Shu immediately leaned in the carriage and panted lightly as if she had been pardoned, "This little girl is in the eyes of the old man. Going back to the Taoist temple to practice, there is no other intention."

What a joke, how can there be such a disciple!Ye Hui frowned and looked at Jing Shu, who was dripping with cold sweat, "Senior, let's not say whether she agrees or not, we will not agree to what Senior has done."

The old man snorted and waved the whisk in his hand, "What is the relationship between the two little brothers and her? The old man has been following you for the past few days and I don't quite understand it. If it is her family, it is best to take this little girl away for future considerations." Leave it to me, let the old man take it back and find a quiet place to hide it."

Ye Ying's face darkened, "Why did you say that, senior?"
