Bevan Mountain

The alchemist hurriedly lowered his head to look, and his body became invisible.Immediately discouraged, he leaned against the carriage, looked at the girl helplessly, and let out a long "ah".After appearing seven times, the figure of the alchemist disappeared completely.

At this time, most of the fog has receded, and the sun slanted from the undulating mountains, and the roof of the car was dyed with a thin glow.

Huixia raised a slender white hand, lightly blocking some of the morning light in his eyes, his light brown eyes were slightly closed, with a hint of natural beauty overflowing from the corners of his eyes, his eyebrows fluttered like emerald feathers, and his cheeks were dyed with peach petals.

Layers of sash cinched the soft waist, and the corners of the moon-white skirt fell lazily by the side of the car.A goose-yellow gauze was exposed on the outside, making it even more natural and elegant at a glance, and then I realized that Tingyue was passionate, so again... The girl under the car rolled her eyes, as if she was afraid that she would lose her mind.

The man in the car lazily got up, and inadvertently moved his posture, glanced in the direction he came from, then turned his head to the girl under the car and said, "Otherwise... we'll talk when we get in the car? I can't stay here any longer. "

"I'll go on my own." Even though she pretended to be a fairy, she still talked too much, so if she returned to her original form, she would be chattering endlessly.No matter how beautiful you are, the girl really doesn't want to get entangled anymore.

"I have news about Master Bailu, are you listening or not?"

The carriage gradually went far along the river, and the old man Longzhong turned into a pretty girl. She was about the same age, but she didn't carry it anymore, and asked directly: "Didn't you learn Fang Xiandao? Why do you want to study medicine? "

The girl didn't answer, and only asked, "Where is Master Bailu?"

Miss Huang Sha had expected that she would not answer, so she said leisurely, "I'll give you news, and you should give me news, that's only fair."

The girl's words were quite plain: "I'm not an alchemist. I haven't learned Fang Xiandao either."

"I see that you know a lot about Fangshu." Miss Huang Sha didn't believe it, and asked the bottom line.

The girl was still indifferent: "I know a little bit of superficiality. I have read a few miscellaneous notes on magic theory, heard some strange stories about ghosts and monsters, and seen a few of your simple spells for making fire and melting ice."

"With a little knowledge of fur, you can see the talismans on my pottery, and you can see through my illusion?"

"That's... I smelled the very faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus on your body, so I guessed it." The girl showed a bit of coyness when she mentioned smelling the fragrance.

The woman hurriedly pulled up her collar and sniffed it vigorously, and said angrily: "The real shape has been hidden, and you can smell it? Are you a dog?"

"No. Because my five senses are more sensitive than others since I was a child."

Miss Huang Sha was secretly angry, and saw that she was calm and composed, with an appearance that she didn't even bother to pretend.

Why did he capsize in the gutter and bluff himself?Still full of doubts in my heart, I asked again: "You really only learned how to make cremation and melting ice?"

"It's not that I want to learn it, but I just saw someone use it by chance. Your Fangxian family's talisman face is long, and only one or two are simpler. However, after a long time, I should have forgotten it."

"Well, that's right! I don't really remember..." Miss Huang Sha nodded in agreement, thinking about the topic, and then asked, "Your family can rest assured that you will come out alone?"

"They're all dead." The girl Zhi looked at the river, her tone flat.

Miss Huang Sha was completely dumbfounded, it was clear that she could continue with a few words of comfort, but her attitude was so cold and unreasonable.

The mountain wind is wrapped in the sunshine in the early summer morning, and it is obviously warm and cool.

Right now, there is too little warmth and a lot of coolness.Looking around from the corner of the eye, the young girl was sitting on the side of the carriage, her clothes were plain and simple, and her demeanor was clearly restrained.

It is difficult to inquire about family affairs, so I can only guess about the barbarian land here, the previous dynasty was in turmoil, and there were many exiles from the family.

Furthermore, these nobles like to raise alchemists, so it would not be surprising if she had read some miscellaneous books if there were alchemists in her family when she was young.But……

"I'll just ask you a question, and you've asked me a lot. Can you tell me about Master Bailu?" The girl interrupted her chaotic thoughts.

"Huh? Oh..." Miss Huang Sha came back to her senses, "There are rumors that the last time someone saw him was at Renshou Mountain in Longxi. But it was a long time ago."

"Ren Shou Mountain..." the girl whispered to herself.

"Yes, it's far away in Longxi. You..." The woman tilted her head slightly, and glanced at the girl's old clothes, "If you have no money, how can you get there?"

"Wild fruits in the mountains and forests, flowers and plants, as long as they can feed the hunger."

"No wonder you're so skinny!" Miss Huang Sha suddenly realized that she was surprised, and added, "You're really too skinny. There's nowhere to stay around here. When we arrive in Jinxing County tomorrow, I'll treat you to a good meal. Take it as a thank you for not going to Wei's house to make trouble for me."

The girl was taken aback: "Where is Jinxing County?"

"Go straight east from here, and turn over two more hills."

The girl refused: "You don't need to thank me."

"Then I have to go to the city to buy some clothes." Miss Huang Sha didn't care, "Going to Longxi, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, so it takes a lot of shoes."

The girl hesitated somewhat after hearing this.Then he also said bluntly: "I have no money..."

"If you don't make money, you will have it..." Miss Huang Sha smiled and said, "Go and have a look - I don't know your name yet."

The girl's hand was resting on the knot of the black burden on her chest. Hearing this, she gently rubbed the knotted fabric, and looked at Jiang Shui beside her in ecstasy: "My...my surname is Jiang, Jiang Wuyue."

Before nightfall, Miss Huang Sha found a wider place by the river, settled the carriages and horses, and said to Jiang Wuyue: "Let's rest here tonight, you go and pick up some firewood, and I will go to the river to collect some firewood." Let’s grill the fish.” As he said that, he walked towards the river.

Jiang Wuyue hurriedly called to her: "Hey..."

Miss Huang Sha paused, took a dark look before turning around and said, "You'er. My name is You'er."

Jiang Wuyue said: "I don't eat meat, so don't take my share."

You'er didn't seem too surprised, and still asked, "Why?"

"do not like……"

"..." You'er swept around, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a pursed lips: "Then you must be hungry."

When she came back with a few river fish, she saw Jiang Wuyue sitting obediently beside a pile of branches, holding a wild fruit that she didn't know where to pick.

You'er put the fish on the ground, set up firewood piles and racks for grilling fish, took off the small mahogany box on his body, opened it, took out a black sand pen and a few empty talismans from inside, and handed it to Jiang Wuyue: " Haven't you learned the fire-blessing talisman? Let's take a look."

Jiang Wuyue glanced at the talisman in You'er's hand, and looked back: "Is it necessary?"

"Of course there is..." You'er smiled, and moved his hand a little further: "You should try it first."

Jiang Wuyue didn't want to think about whether she was overwhelmed by her coquettish voice, so she just took the talisman pen first, thinking of finding something to interrupt her thoughts, and perfunctory.After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, he spread out the talisman paper on the ground and began to draw.

Before the painting was finished, You'er reached out and pulled out the talisman paper, crumpling it into a ball: "The talisman is reversed, draw again." He handed Jiang Wuyue another empty talisman.

Jiang Wuyue was not in a hurry or annoyed, and recalled it carefully, and drew a new one.

Jiang Jiang put away his pen, but before he could straighten up, the talisman in his hand was taken away again, and You'er wrapped the paper: "The talisman foot is wrong, think again."

Jiang Wuyue stared at the talisman paper wrapped in her hand, frustrated: "I can't remember."

"Look at me drawing again." You'er felt that this barren mountain and wild place must be really boring, and his patience became extremely good, so he took out another blank talisman and started to draw.

Although the painting is crooked, there are no mistakes, but it is always not as good-looking as her delicate fingertips.

At the end, he raised his head and said seriously to Jiang Wuyue: "Do you remember?"

Jiang Wuyue looked at her hand quietly, and was suddenly asked, "Why should I remember?"

You'er straightened up and put down his pen, and raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it convenient for you to go out alone, go so far away, and turn on the lamp at night to keep warm when it's cold?"

Jiang Wuyue had no choice but to glance at the talisman again: "Remember..."

Don't forget to add: "Trouble..."

You'er's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What? Do you have a way to avoid trouble?"

Seeing the smile on her lips, Jiang Wuyue somewhat guessed what she was thinking, and said with a little disdain, "It's not that there is a fire."

"That thing won't work if it falls into the water!"

"If the talisman paper falls into the water, it won't work anymore."

"That's true..." You'er gave up arguing with someone who was lazier than himself, "However, you are a person who wants to be academic, and such a simple talisman is too troublesome for you..."

"Doctors also want to draw amulets and chant spells?" Jiang Wuyue just answered the words casually, as if it didn't matter.

"The master of the medical classics masters the art of Qi and Huang, and is good at using needles; the master of the Fang family masters the eight principles of differentiation, often uses herbal medicines, but often uses talismans to refine medicine. Bailu Zhenren used to be the head of the medical classics... Well, it should not be necessary to draw talismans Already..." You'er explained for himself, "It won't hurt to learn more."

After finishing speaking, he put the talisman in his hand between his fingers, chanted the mantra to ignite the fire, and saw a "teng" on the ground, and the head of the talisman was suspended in the air to ignite the fire, as if holding a short wooden torch.

You'er threw the flaming talisman into the pyre, and the palm branches quickly caught fire.

The moon has risen, and the bright moonlight makes the mountains across the river very clear.From time to time, there were a few birdsong in the distance, and the sound flowed away with the gurgling water.

Only the sound of firewood burning, there was movement in front of him.There was a bit of excitement in the movement, which made Jiang Wuyue feel a little uncomfortable. In her memory, there were not often times when it was necessary to light a fire;

A little more warmth came out of the heat, which made her relax a bit, and this relaxation also made her realize that she hasn't actually gotten used to the cold body that has been cold for many years.

Thinking of this, she was busy and sat upright, and a concrete action appeared in her mind: pulling the slack out of her body and throwing it far away, throwing it into the river to die with the flowing water—sometimes she is so easy to enjoy herself—

That trace of slack is still churning and clamoring on the river, like a gnat that has been caught by its ears and is out of breath.

Soon, Jiang Wuyue looked away from the river calmly.

You'er was a little distracted, but still relying on his skillful experience, he roasted a river fish until it was scorched and fragrant.

The index finger moved wildly and couldn't help but praise: "As expected of my grilled fish, it would be even better with some spicy spices."

He held the fish under Jiang Wuyue's nose, and asked with a smile from the corner of his eyes, "Are you sure you don't want to eat it?"

Jiang Wuyue turned her head aside: "Don't eat..." Then she picked up a wild fruit and put it in her mouth, chewing softly.

You'er decided not to bother with her, and took the branch that passed through both ends of the fish, and began to eat it contentedly.

"If I don't want to be an alchemist, I'll open a grilled fish stall..." You'er held the fish skeleton in his hand and planned, "Business must be booming!"

Jiang Wuyue looked at the inadvertent sensuality in the corner of her eyes, but nodded in agreement.

You'er turned around and said with a smile: "You can smell it too, it smells good, right?"

Jiang Wuyue avoided her eyes and nodded again.

"Then why don't you like it?" You'er leaned closer, not hiding the spying in her eyes.

Jiang Wuyue backed away a little, looked at You'er, and said solemnly: "Because there will be fish souls claiming their lives at night."

"Hey..." Youer sneered shortly, knowing that she was talking nonsense, narrowed her eyes and leaned closer, said quietly, "I can subjugate demons."

Jiang Wuyue wanted to spend the night in peace, so she endured the words "charlatan" and only nodded perfunctorily.

Seeing that she didn't intend to continue talking, You'er finally moved back lazily, leaning on the carriage and staring at the fire in a daze.

Jiang Wuyue picked up a branch, fiddled with the fire wick a few times, and added a few more wooden branches to it.

The fire light flickered on her face, and she finally seemed to have some color, like a smog in the clear mist, tactful and ambiguous, but she couldn't catch it or measure it.She lowered her head, and the moonlight gathered on the skin behind her ears.

For some reason, You'er always felt that the moonlight on Jiang Wuyue's body would become extraordinarily bright.

She had too many doubts about Jiang Wuyue, she thought about it several times, if this person is simple, there is no need to bother;

If this person is not simple... she will know if she has a chance to try.

"Jiang Wuyue..."

Jiang Wuyue stared straight at the fire, as if she didn't hear it.

You'er yelled again.Jiang Wuyue turned around with a blank face: "Huh?"

You'er said: "If you are sleepy, go to sleep in the car. There are winter clothes in the car, it is cold at night, you take it out and cover yourself."

Jiang Wuyue's pupils flickered, and said solemnly: "I'm not afraid of the cold, nor sleepy."

You'er glanced at the black cloth bag that Jiang Wuyue had been carrying all the time from the corner of her eye, stopped talking, got up and entered the carriage.

Jiang Wuyue could hear the rustling of the clothes in the carriage.After a while, the surroundings became quiet again.

The flame gradually became smaller, Jiang Wuyue still carried the branch loosely in her hand, but she didn't fiddle with the firewood anymore.

Realizing that there is a fleeting attachment in my heart, I also let the sparks dim.
