Chapter 205
The sky was overcast, the wind was raging in the air, and it was impossible to tell whether it was morning or evening.

"The weather is not good today."

Wu Xia stood at the door and said to him.

"The weather is just right."

Song You had already led the bay red horse out of the room, and when Empress Sanhua stepped out again, he closed the door, locked the lock, and handed the key to Nvxia Wu:
"Thank you, Heroine."

"Thanks for what?"

"Grace of containment."

"It's not that I didn't give money."

Wu Xia took the key, put it in her bosom, sighed, and said: "It's just that I should go out, and I have to go out of the city, let's go, all the way."

"it is good."

The two of them, a horse and a cat, walked out of the city.

It was early in the morning at this time, and the shops on both sides opened one after another, and the vendors who came to set up stalls in the city also entered the city.Song You walked through Willow Street, and from time to time, shopkeepers and peddlers saw him with a horse and luggage, and a bamboo stick in his hand. Out of curiosity, they greeted him and asked him where he was going.

Song You answered one by one patiently.

I was a little dazed for a while, it turns out that I have been known to so many people in Changjing this year.

Walk across Willow Street and across the city.

There were still people looking at him along the way.

Some people thought it was a little strange that this Taoist man had a cat and a horse without a bridle.Some people have heard the legend of the Taoist with the three-colored cat and the bay red horse in other places, but they are not sure whether this Taoist is the Taoist in the legend, or they can't remember where they heard it.

Slowly out of the city.

Changjing is prosperous, but there is still a lot of people outside the city. There are many cars and horses going back and forth, and it is often seen that caravans line up in a long queue.

"Have you ever figured out when you'll be back next time?" Wu Xia asked.

"Not sure." Song You shook his head, it depends on whether the northern demons and ghosts are enthusiastic, "Maybe a few years, maybe ten years, in short, they will definitely come back."

"Tsk..."

Wu Xia smacked her mouth.

Song You smiled at her and said, "When we meet next time, you and I will be old friends."

"Yes, old friend."

Wu Xia also grinned.

The last time we saw each other was the spring of Mingde's second year.

Now is the spring of the fifth year of Mingde.

Three years have passed.

When we met in Changjing last year, they were considered old friends, old acquaintances, and if we meet again in a few years, they will naturally be considered old friends.

Just have to see you again.

This kind of parting where you don't know if you will see each other again is normal in this era. Song You and Wu Xiaxia don't know if they are used to it. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you are used to it or not, how to deal with you , or how to you.

I have to do my best and obey the destiny.

"I will go down the mountain in the late summer and early autumn of Mingde for a period of 20 years. After 20 years, in the late summer and early autumn, I will probably return to the Taoist temple." Song Youxian said to her, "I will tell the heroine again, I come from Yizhou Fulong Taoist Temple in Yinyang Mountain, Lingquan County, Zhuo County, the heroine has returned to Yizhou in the future, so you can come and visit me, if you can’t find the Taoist temple on the mountain, it means I haven’t gone back yet.”

"take note of it."

Wu Xia nodded, seeing that there were few people on the side of the road at this time, she walked a few steps and said to him: "Please also write down one point."

"All ears."

"My surname is not Wu, but my surname is Ruan, and my name is Ruan Zhen." Wu Xia said, "But I'm not lying to you, Wu Suowei is the name chosen for me by the head of the sect, and I have used it for more than 20 years. .”

"Write it down."

Song You nodded solemnly, continued to walk forward, and then asked, "It's just why the female hero remains incognito?"

"..."

Wu Xia glanced at him, pursed her lips and walked a few more steps before saying, "Do you still remember that Shu Yifan?"

"remember."

"I'm about the same as him." Nvxia Wu said in a calm tone, "My father is Ruan Changxing, the former minister of officials. The mountain bandits were robbed, except for me, who hid well, and I still don’t know who the enemy is.”

"I see."

Song You understood and didn't ask any more questions.

Everything has been explained.

She practiced martial arts hard since she was a child, and as a daughter surpassed many men in the rivers and lakes. After she finished her studies, she resolutely left her teacher's school and came to Changjing. Most of the money I usually earn is used in these places. The 20-year plan is really not easy.

Song You shook his head and didn't say much.

I only heard Wu Xia's voice from beside me: "There are Jianghu people watching you from behind."

"It's okay."

"Want me to go with you?"

"No need, the heroine can just go about her own business."

"It's okay. There may be more people this time, but there should be fewer masters than last time. People who are good in Changjing, as long as they hear about the Taiwei Mansion, they should be more hesitant. In short, you should be careful, especially Beware of backstabs from the Jianghu people, those of us are the best at playing tricks." Wu Xia paused, "I'm going this way, and I'll send you here."

"Then..."

"There will be a period later!"

Wu Xia clasped fists with him and said in a deep voice.

"There will be a period later."

Song You also saluted Wu Xia.

Nvxia Wu kept her fists clasped, then lowered her head and said, "Miss Sanhua will also meet later."

"There will be a period later!"

The two of them looked at each other, without saying anything else, one side turned to the left, the other side to the right, and then gradually drifted away.

The separation this time was very flat.

As if this separation is the norm.

Looking back at the back of her leaving, Song You understood why people used the word "there will be a period later" when they parted - in this era, it is very good to see each other again after parting.

……

Going north out of the city, there are obviously fewer people than going south.

The biggest difference is the caravan.

Although there are not no caravans coming from and going to the north, there are obviously fewer caravans than in the south.

Mao'er doesn't seem to have much parting feelings. It seems that she has no nostalgia for any place except her temple. It seems that it is just because she is innocent and ignorant. She only knows where the Taoist priests go and she follows them. Walking, not longing for a certain place, so not long after leaving the city, she walked to the front again with cheerful small steps.

Sniff here, sniff there.

He just stopped occasionally and turned his head to look behind him. He didn't know whether he was looking at the Taoist priest behind him or Changjing who was gradually going away.

After walking for a few miles, the terrain went up.

The cat suddenly stopped and looked up.

So Song You also stopped and followed her.

I saw a thatched pavilion on the hillside in the front left. I don’t know when it was built. I don’t know if it was used for resting in the cool air. .However, at this time, there were two familiar figures in the pavilion.

One person was dressed in white, with a light veil covering his face, sitting on a stone bench, and a maid stood behind him, all looking in his direction.

Sanhuamao looked back at Song You, then walked up the path leading to the hillside and the pavilion with small steps, and soon arrived in front of the pavilion, she stopped and looked up at the two of them.

Song You and Zao Hongma came later.

"It's polite."

"Wanjiang is polite." The woman in the pavilion also stood up and gave a generous salute, "Knowing that the Taoist priest is leaving Beijing today, I guessed that the Taoist priest is going to the north, so I came here to wait and practice for the Taoist priest."

"Thank you, sir."

"Wan Jiang has nothing to give to the Taoist priest, so I invite the Taoist priest to drink water and a glass of wine." Miss Wan Jiang said, "Play a piece of piano for the Taoist priest, and wish the Taoist priest a smooth trip."

The maid smiled and brought a glass of rice wine.

Song You reached out to take it, the glass was still warm.

The sitting woman has already started to play the piano.

When the sound of the zither sounded, it was three points weaker when it came out of the pavilion, and it dissipated in the wind, so it couldn't reach the road down the mountain.

The Taoist held the wine glass and drank it down.

Then stand still and listen to the sound of the piano.

Suddenly there are birds and cranes flying, or flying in front of the mountain, or stopping on the top of the pavilion. The business travelers down the mountain are very surprised when they see this situation, and they stop to watch.

After a long time, the sound of the piano faded away.

"There seem to be some people from the rivers and lakes wandering over there." Miss Wanjiang stopped the piano, glanced at the distance, and then at the very obvious long box stuck in the quilt bag behind the bay red horse, "If the Taoist priest finds it troublesome, Wanjiang can also use some tricks to persuade these Jianghu people to go back."

"Don't bother."

"Then I wish the Taoist priest a smooth journey."

"Thank you for your farewell, this glass of wine, this piece of piano, I will remember it in my heart." Song Xunli said.

"I only hope that the Taoist priest will see you again when he returns to Changjing next time." Miss Wanjiang said, "Maybe Wanjiang is already free at that time, and I will talk to the Taoist priest about the landscape and the moon at that time."

"It doesn't matter if we don't see you when we go back to Changjing. The Taoist priest will naturally go back to Fulong Temple." The maid said with a smile, "When we finish repaying our favor and regain our freedom, we will learn from the Taoist priest to travel around the world. If you want to come to Yinyang Mountain in Lingquan County to find the Taoist priest, the Taoist priest should not be behind closed doors."

"I wish I could see you two again in Changjing. If I can't, I will wait for you in the temple in ten years' time." Song You said respectfully, "I will take my leave now."

"Taoist, go slowly."

"Little cat, go slowly, too." The maid looked down at the three-flowered cat on the ground with its head tilted and staring at her, and waved her hand with a smile, "Little cat, don't forget us."

"..."

The three-flowered cat stared at her silently.

Song You turned around and walked out of the pavilion, leaning on a stick and walking down the mountain.

The cat and the bay red horse also followed quickly.

The maid turned her head to look at Miss Wanjiang, and said with a smile, "Those demons and goblins in the north are going to be in trouble."

"The demons and goblins born out of troubled times, no matter how good they are, are just a bunch of savages. If they act so arrogantly, they will be unlucky sooner or later." The woman in white said lightly.

"It's a pity that I can't go with him, otherwise it would be great to follow the past to see the play."

"Receive the piano, let's go back too."

"Aren't you here to watch the excitement?"

"Nothing to see."

"You are the master, you have the final say..."

The two looked at the distance, and the Taoist had already gone far.

They looked at each other, wondering what they were thinking.

……

The sound of horseshoes.

The mountain is not high, but the road is very steep. The loess road slopes upwards with a steep slope. It looks like it leads to the sky. If there are not pavilions and houses on the mountain, no one knows how high it will lead to. .

The wind is blowing, the grass is rustling, and it is a scene of early spring.

A few school children were walking on the road with their waists bent, carrying their schoolbags. They should be going to a private school somewhere.

Schoolchildren were young, playing and playing from time to time, running up and down even on such a steep road, laughing and laughing, I don’t know if they know that this may be one of the happiest moments in their lives.

It's a pity that no one in this era can remember this moment.

The day passed and no one saw the day.

"Meow!"

"It's peach blossom."

"Meow……"

The peach blossoms in the mountains bloom early, in front of the house, behind the house, and between the mountains and fields, which adds a little fun to the journey.

It's just that the Taoist was walking, and unknowingly there were many Jianghu people behind him. He turned around and looked down the mountain behind him, and there were more Jianghu people coming, either riding horses, or trotting with swords and bows. The dark clouds in the sky usually gather more and more—after plotting for half a winter, the wandering Taoists finally left the city, and upon receiving the news, a lot of Jiang Hu people from Changjing came.

These Jianghu people did not approach, but followed the Taoist at a distance, and aimed at the box wrapped in oilcloth on the back of the bay red horse.

This wooden box is really conspicuous.

Song You looked up at the sky, picked a flat place, stopped, turned around and waited for them.
