Chapter 2
Jianchou's voice, in the night, was blown by the night wind, like the leaves hanging on the treetops in late autumn, drifting and trembling.

Accustomed to seeing the joys and sorrows of the world, seeing too much intrigue among monks, and seeing such sorrow again, Fudaoshan people suddenly couldn't bear it.

Naturally, he was not one of those barefoot doctors who needed to feel the pulse to judge a person's condition.

With this pair of eyes, you can tell everything just by looking at it.

"Mountain man?"

Jianchou asked again, full of hope.

Maybe she is not a qualified mother, just because she didn't realize she was pregnant when she first found out that she was pregnant.It was only now that I was touched by the scene and remembered that I was about to become a mother!
Counting with your fingers, it's only a few days.

The Fudao mountain man slowly lowered his hands, he laughed in embarrassment, and said with a nonchalant expression: "Take the pulse? How could the mountain man do such a thing that ordinary people do? I said girl, you asked the wrong person." gone."

"..."

Jianchou suddenly became slumped, and the hand that was holding on to the door frame also slid down.

Her clear eyes fell on Fudao Mountain Man, as if she was weighing the truth of his words.

"Shanren has great supernatural powers, even if he doesn't know how to diagnose the pulse, he can always use other methods..."

"Where will I be?"

The Fudao Mountain man shook his head hastily, his eyes rolled around, looking at the blue tiles at the corner of the eaves for a while, looking at the dark night outside the courtyard for a while, and looking up at the stars in the sky for a while.

"Oh, Shanren, I watch the sky at night, the stars and the moon come out together, but a person with great fortune is going to be born in this world! Girl, maybe it's you!"

"...Shanren, is the child in my womb gone?"

Jianchou suddenly asked such a question, and Fudaoshanren froze instantly.

He turned his head slowly and looked at Jianchou.

There was a lot of distress in Jianchou's expression, after seeing the reaction of the Fudao Mountain people, what else could she not understand?
The pool of blood when he came out of the coffin suddenly appeared in Jianchou's mind.

The person in Fudao Mountain possessed magical skills, so it seems that she couldn't keep her child, right?
The fetus, which was less than two months old, just left her like this?
She didn't even realize that she was about to become a mother...

As short as a dream.

Jianchou suddenly felt powerless, as if thousands of sharp blades were stuck in his throat.She turned around stiffly, and murmured: "I see..."

Walking back to the table step by step, Jianchou sat down again.

The pair of scissors in the sewing basket were sharp enough to pierce her eye, not to mention the silver lock underneath.

She sat there blankly, as if she was going to sit forever.

Seeing this, the Fudao Mountain man in the yard sighed a long time, turned around, and returned his gaze to the big white goose.

The moment he turned around, there was a burst of suppressed and subdued sobbing from the room behind him.

The owner of the cry seemed to be trying to control the grief in his heart, but he couldn't control it after all.

As a result, the flood broke the embankment in an instant and swept everything.

The originally suppressed sobs suddenly turned into mournful cries, as if she wanted to vent all her grievances and helplessness.

What she experienced was her husband's betrayal and the pain of losing her son. She couldn't recover in such a short period of time...

In the end, the Fudao Mountain man did not look back, but climbed over the fence, hugged the big white goose running around in his arms, ignored the desperate struggle of the big white goose, and said softly: "Goose, goose, now The Shanren is not in a good mood, so don't thump... Otherwise, the Shanren will have to eat you alive."

The big white goose trembled all over, and its slender neck immediately drooped, as if it had understood the words of the Fudao Mountain Man, and did not dare to move again.

Only then did the Fudaoshan people stroke the feathers of the big white goose in satisfaction.

"What a goose, what a goose! How good it is to be an animal, you don't even need to understand the joys and sorrows of the world..."

I don't know how long it took, but the stars and the moon in the sky slowly moved away.The crying in the room also gradually stopped.

The Fudao Mountain man raised his head and looked towards the door of the house.

Jianchou came out slowly from the inside, stood under the eaves, looked up at the night sky, and after a long time, he asked, "Shanren, you just said that you want to take me as an apprentice, are you serious?"

The Fudao Mountain people guessed that she should have recovered a lot, but the matter of accepting apprentices should not be so hasty.

He said: "I asked you just now, but you didn't answer half a word, which shows that you don't want to ask me to be your teacher at all. Now you have changed your mind, and the mountain man asked you: What do you want to do when you ask me to be your teacher?" ?”

"Qianxian asked."

Jianchou replied firmly.

The man from Fudao Mountain smiled, not believing it at all: "Are you seeking immortality, or seeking revenge?"

Jianchou stopped talking.

After crying for a while, the circles of her eyes were red, and the light of the moon, frosty and white, shone into her shimmering eyes, which was unspeakably beautiful for a moment.

"It's not that I don't want to accept you as an apprentice. It's just that if you enter my school and cultivate my way, it's just for revenge. Not to mention that you have made no progress on the way of cultivation. Cheng Wushang has a heart barrier. With a heart barrier, Xunxian asked, but it's just a joke."

The Fudao Mountain man's words were unusually solemn and serious.

The path of cultivation is often full of hardships and obstacles.

There are tens of thousands of people in the world, and most of them are ordinary people. There are no two or three who can achieve great wisdom and great achievements. Among the 1 monks in the Qi refining stage, there may be ten foundation-building monks, but among the ten monks in the foundation-building stage, there may not be one who can cultivate to the golden core stage.

Cultivation is a one-in-a-million thing, and there is no room for error. The requirements for talent and character are ridiculously high.

Jianchou's current disposition is really not suitable for this path.

Previously, people from Fudao Mountain would open their mouths to ask about Jianchou, just because they felt it sincerely and had a little predestined relationship with Jianchou, so they wanted to accept disciples.

Mind can determine a person's success or failure.

Seeing sorrows undergoing major changes, they can still have occasional smiles, and even say "I will be the second". Fudaoshan people are not people who have mastered the will of heaven and are completely ruthless, so they can naturally feel the heart of seeing sorrows. how.

As for the sentence "Then I just happened to kill him", it happened to have the toughness and indifference unique to practitioners, almost heavenly.

If there is no obstacle in his heart, he may not be unable to accomplish great things if he takes her as his apprentice.

Pity……

The people of Fudao Mountain will completely abandon the idea of ​​accepting sorrow as a disciple.

But the next moment...

"The big white goose will go with you, and you will take me as your apprentice."

Jianchou came out from under the eaves and stood in front of Fudaoshanren with a calm and calm voice.

If it wasn't for the small village where they are in the middle of the mountain at this moment, if it wasn't for the dilapidated everything around them, if it wasn't for Jianchou standing in front of him, it would be just a jingchai sarong!
The people of Fudao Mountain thought she was saying "I will give you the Sword Tomb of the Immortal Emperor, and you will take me as your apprentice"!

Are you kidding me?
Just a big white goose!

The Fudao Mountain man looked down at the big white goose that was still in his arms, with a look of resentment.

"Is Shanren so vulgar in your eyes? Do I seem to be such a greedy person? Cultivating Taoism is a big deal! Shanren, I used a bamboo pole to pick all over the six lands and nineteen continents, and everyone saw me. You have to kowtow and call grandpa, I am such a powerful person, yet you only give me a big white goose as your teacher? It's really deceiving!"

The two nostrils seemed to spurt fire, and the Fudao mountain man's eyes were red when he stared at Jianchou.

"Do you think I will be bought off so easily by a big white goose?"

After speaking, his anger seemed to have reached its peak, and he just threw the big white goose in his arms to the ground.

"At least two?"

"..."

Jianchou stared at Fudao Mountain Man with unspeakable contempt in his eyes.

This man is really...

It makes people want to roll their eyes!

Jianchou didn't know how to describe her inner feelings. She was silent for a long time before escaping from that strange emotion and said: "Right now, all the geese in my family have run away, and there is no second one. But finding a goose is easy. He will find another one for you when he sees it.”

"It's almost there."

The Fudao Mountain man snorted, he was satisfied.

He looked at the goose that fell to the ground just now, the goose was already covered by the fall, as if he didn't understand how he was "favoured" before, and now he was thrown into the "cold palace".

The Fudao Mountain man bent down hastily, and picked up the big white goose on the ground again.

Just now, because of the need for momentum, I threw the big white goose away. Although I did a little protection with my hands and feet, nothing will happen to me, but don't be surprised.

He didn't even raise his head, he just said to Jianchou: "Then we'll make the deal like this, you can do a teacher apprentice ceremony."

"Appreciation Ceremony?"

Jianchou only saw some of his magical methods on the road, and knew that this man was not simple.However, it is not at all clear how to perform the ceremony of appreciating teachers, and whether there are any special etiquettes.

She humbly asked: "I also ask the mountain people to give advice."

The big white goose was terrified in the arms of Fudao Mountain Man, and turned into a dumb goose without any reaction.

The people in Fudao Mountain were very worried, sighed and said to Jianchou: "Your family's big white geese are more intelligent than you, what can I tell you about the ceremony of apprenticeship? Kowtow three times."

As he spoke, his expression suddenly became solemn.

The other free hand held the bamboo pole and knocked it on the ground.

There was only a crisp sound of "pa", and a dark blue light circle centered on the bamboo pole spread out to the surroundings, like a wave, and finally settled at a position of [-] feet [-] feet.

After the aperture was fixed, it only lasted for three breaths, and then gradually disappeared, as if hiding in the mud.

Jianchou, Fudaoshanren, uh... and a big white goose are all in this circle.

It was the first time that Jianchou had seen such a miraculous method.

At that moment, Fudao Mountain Man seemed to have a halo on his face, and said, "Bye."

The king of heaven and earth is a teacher, a teacher for a day, and a father for a lifetime.

Jianchou understands the principle of respecting teachers and respecting Tao better than anyone else.

But this feeling is also quite strange, I actually want to have a master, and also want to set foot on the immortal path...

Lifting the hem of the coarse cloth skirt in front of him, Jianchou knelt on the ground, raised his hands above his head, palms down, and put them on his forehead, and then bowed down to worship.

The moon is slanting and the wind is clear.

The shadow of the tree shook.

With Jianchou bowing down, the downward palms naturally stuck to the moist soil in the yard.

The cold soil is like her calm heart at the moment.

If the extinction of the six relatives is the end of the mortal relationship, then the current self can be regarded as the extinction of the mortal relationship.

She has no father and no mother, she doesn't know where she came from, let alone where she will go in the future, her husband has already carried her away, and the unborn child in her womb has no chance to call her mother.

Although the world is big, there is no one person, thing or thing that can make her worry about it.

This feeling is empty and lonely.

One prostration and one kowtow, another prostration and another prostration, three prostrations and three prostrations.

At the moment when the apprentice ceremony was completed, a dim light suddenly lit up, centered on the place where Jianshou was located, and radiated towards the surroundings.

The light was very faint, with a gray and chaotic feeling, dark and not very clear.

But at night like this, it was enough to see clearly.

It was an octagonal figure one zhang square, with four criss-crossing lines on it, which divided the entire octagon into countless small grids, which looked like an octagonal chessboard.

As Jianchou got up, the pattern of the octagonal chessboard gradually disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

"Just now this was..."

Jianchou has never seen such a wonderful scene in his life, it seems that this pattern appeared because of the apprenticeship.

She looked at Fudao Mountain Man, but saw his dull face.

At this time, Fudao Mountain people already felt a little dreamy.

The big white goose, belatedly aware of it, finally came to his senses, and jumped out of his arms, but he didn't even look back: "One zhang...a ten-zhang Wanxiang bucket..."

Vientiane bucket?

"What's that?" Jianchou became curious.

"The Vientiane Doupan is the foundation of the practice of all things in the world. Like a thousand-foot-high platform, there must be layers of stones and soil. As the saying goes, when a person steps into the road of practice at the beginning, after completing the ceremony of apprenticeship, he will be able to use the power of the contract between heaven and earth. Under the guidance, stimulate the bucket. The bigger the bucket, the higher the talent of this person may be."

The Fudao Mountain man gradually regained his senses, and his gaze gradually brightened when he looked at Jianchou.

At that moment, Jianchou almost thought that he was going to become a chicken leg, a big white goose.

Resisting the tingling feeling in her scalp, she asked again: "You mean, I have good talent?"

"...not bad." Fudaoshan people nodded.

Jianchou understands, that means it's already very good.

When she thought about it, she couldn't help being curious: "Does every practitioner have a bucket? Then how big was your bucket at the beginning? Was it three feet?"

"..."

The expression on the face suddenly became stiff, and the Fudao Mountain man rolled his eyes and looked around: "Uh...it seems to be one foot and one inch!"

one zhang...

Zero an inch?
Jianchou looked suspiciously at Fudaoshanren.

The Fudao Mountain man stared: "You don't believe it, do you?"

"I don't dare." Jianchou already understood in his heart, and said honestly, "You can do as much as you say. Although my disciple is not as good as Master, it can be seen that Master's bucket can become bigger. Thinking about it at this moment The size is not everything.”

Well, this is barely a pleasant statement.

The Fudaoshan people were eager to reveal the size of the talent bucket, and hurriedly said: "Of course, generally speaking, the Vientiane bucket will become bigger after stepping into the practice. As for how much bigger, it depends on the individual." Ability. So today's talent is only temporary. On the road of cultivation, talent and hard work are indispensable. How many geniuses died on the way? On the contrary, those with mediocre talent at the beginning can make a difference. When you officially set foot Once you enter the path of practice, you will know that the one who can light up the bucket is the real genius."

All the concepts of today are very new to Jianchou.

The night wind was blowing outside, she was completely sleepy, and continued to ask: "What's the matter with lighting the bucket?"

"Oh my, you are so annoying! Why do you keep asking?"

The Fudao Mountain man hugged the big white goose, and felt the urge to faint. Why is it so troublesome to bring an apprentice?He hadn't taken care of his apprentice for so long, he almost forgot how difficult it was for him to take care of his apprentice back then.

Now when I hear Jianchou and start to ask questions, the memory of the past is like a flood directly breaking through the embankment and rushing towards Fudaoshanren.

Jianchou said silently: "The sage said, humbly ask for advice..."

"What kind of saint is that!"

It's not that Fudaoshan people have never heard of the saint of mortals, so he immediately rolled his eyes even bigger.

"Oh, I really can't do anything about you. This is your last question today. After I answer this, you are not allowed to ask any more."

"it is good……."

If he didn't answer, there was nothing he could do about it.

Jianchou naturally had no reason to refuse, so he nodded.

So, the man from Fudao Mountain lightly touched the head of the big white goose, stretched out his right foot wearing the worn-out straw sandal, and tapped lightly on the wet muddy ground.

Swah——

At that moment, the entire courtyard was illuminated with strange brilliance.

A huge octagonal bucket with a radius of three feet appeared at the feet of Fudao Mountain Man!

The huge bucket plate spread to Jianchou's feet, and also spread to the eaves, and the slightly flickering brilliance set off the small farmyard with a dreamy feeling.

Different from the dim and chaotic bucket pan just before Jianchou, the color of Fudaoshanren's bucket pan is much brighter, especially the criss-crossing latitude and longitude lines on it, showing a dazzling snow-white.

On the bucket plate, there are actually quite a few black "chess pieces" densely packed.These "chess pieces" are distributed in a patchwork pattern, in groups of three or five, and under the outline of the snow-white latitude and longitude lines, they look like stamps one after another.

"Have you seen the light from these eight directions?" The broken bamboo pole in the hand of the Fudao Mountain man popped out at some point, and lightly tapped on one of the lines of the bucket pan, "Six Daos and Nineteen Continents, collectively referred to as It is the kun line. Kun is the ground, and this kun line grows on the bucket plate and grows close to the ground, which is the foundation of practice."

Kun line.

Jianchou carefully identified the four lines with eight orientations, and firmly memorized its name.

Fudaoshanren took back the broken bamboo pole and made a new point.

This time, it is a "chess piece" on the bucket.

"The black ones look like chess pieces. We call them 'Tao pieces'. The sky is always in the sky, the stars are brilliant, and the Tao is born. This Tao piece is the method of a monk's practice. It is a 'technique'. It is different. The arrangement of Daozi will form different spells."

Daozi.

Another new word.

Jianchou silently nodded and listened carefully.

Originally, Fudaoshan people thought that a person who didn't know much about cultivation didn't need to know so much, and we'll talk about it later.

But just as he was about to take back the broken bamboo pole, he looked up and saw that Jianchou had a serious face, lowered his brows, and stared at the bucket he was stepping on.

I don't know why, but the broken bamboo pole that was raised just now fell down again in a strange way, and swiped around a group of seven chess pieces that were very close together.

"You can see that the arrangement of Dao on the entire bucket plate has its own rules. Sometimes there are no Dao in some places, and the grid formed by the Kun line is empty. These seven are a spell that Shan Ren I practiced. On the bucket plate, they are called Daoyin."

Daoyin.

Looking at the rows of mysterious Daozi, Jianchou thought, this can also be understood.

She touched her chest subconsciously, and asked, "Did Master use the technique on the bucket pan when he saved me?"

The person from Fudao Mountain raised his eyebrows, and when he heard Chou mentioning his saving lives, he felt complacent, and immediately said, "That's... ahh!"

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong and stopped immediately.

Raising his eyes, staring angrily at seeing worry, the Fudaoshan people yelled: "I said it was your last question just now! Why is your apprentice so unconscious? It's too bad!"

"I--"

Jianchou was a little dumbfounded, and opened his mouth to defend himself.

The Fudao Mountain man waved his hand: "Don't speak!"

Seeing that the words of worry had reached the mouth of the throat, he had no choice but to swallow them back and shut his mouth tightly.

"It seems that you are not honest."

This time, the Fudaoshan talent was satisfied, he leisurely put the bamboo pole on his shoulder, and said: "Wanxiang Doupan, Kunxian, Daozi, Daoyin, you should understand. Now, I don't need to explain. , you should also understand why the bucket is called 'Doupan'. What you asked just now is that lighting up the bucket is actually lighting up these Kun lines. The bucket itself is chaotic, and manpower has accumulated cultivation, so from Tianyuan From...uh, Tianyuan?"

It seems that I forgot to mention this very important thing.

The Fudao Mountain man patted himself on the forehead, laughed awkwardly, and raised one of his feet, revealing the light that had been trampled under his feet before.

It turned out that in the center of the entire bucket, there was actually the largest "chess piece", about the size of a fist.

The color of this one is very close to the original color of the entire bucket, but it is much brighter, as if aiming a beam of light at the diffuse mist, and the firefly-like spots keep flickering inside the "chess piece".

People in Fudao Mountain don't need to say it, everyone knows when they see sorrow, this one is "Tianyuan".

"Haha, Tian Yuan, Tian Yuan is here."

With dry laughs, Fudaoshanren felt a little ashamed.

He even forgot the most important thing.

"Tianyuan is the key for a monk to step into practice. After absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, it must gradually fill up the Tianyuan. The Tianyuan shines, and then the originally dark Kun line can be illuminated. Look at these Kun lines, they are all shining Yes, but some are not lit. Theoretically speaking, every Kun line on the bucket can be lit, but manpower is sometimes exhausted, talent and hard work are limited, and many people cannot light up all of them, so they start to build foundations .”

In other words, if you practice, you must first light up the Tianyuan on the bucket plate, and then light up as many Kun lines as possible with Tianyuan as the center.

It is not difficult for Jianchou to understand, he nodded while listening.

Fudaoshanren continued: "Building a foundation is only a state in the practice. Before that, it is the period of refining qi. Refining qi, that is, refining and transforming qi, can gradually light up the bucket pan. After lighting up the bucket pan, you can Seal up the bucket plate, attack the foundation, and then start to practice Lingbao spells after successfully building the foundation, and officially embark on the road of cultivation. Do you understand now?"

"Thank you, Master, for your enlightenment, the disciple understands."

Jianchou finally kept these concepts firmly in mind, and at the same time guessed in his heart: Everyone's first gifted pan may be of different sizes, but his own pan is not too small.

That said, she's not without potential.

I just don't know, how about Xie Buchen's fight?

Unconsciously, he thought of this person again, and was in a daze when he saw sorrow.

The Fudao Mountain people didn't realize it, and thought that the apprentice had also accepted it, and the big white goose had also accepted it, it was really the best of both worlds.

Satisfied in his heart, he raised his head and said, "Then pack up and go with Shanren. Since you are going to step into the road of cultivating Taoism, there is nothing to wait for this place. Master, I will take you there for delicious food and spicy food!"

Are you going?
Although it was expected, but when it was brought up suddenly, I was a little perplexed when I saw sorrow.

After a moment of silence, Jianchou looked at the small farmyard and said: "So, master, please be tolerant for a while, let Jianchou deal with some things, and then pack up."

The Fudao Mountain man's eyes lit up: "Could it be that there are still many big fat geese hidden in your house?"

Why is her master full of big white geese?
Jianchou was really incomprehensible, and for a moment he wanted to cut open the Fudao Mountain Man's brain to see if there were a thousand big white geese flying inside.

She was stunned for a long time, then replied stiffly: "No."

The person from Fudao Mountain suddenly showed disappointment, and said with a pause: "Why did the master accept you as an unlucky apprentice? You don't even know how many more geese to raise. It's a sin, a sin... My Luye Patriarch, what? Tell me to meet you?"

This miserable cry made a person who saw it sad, and whoever heard it shed tears.

It can be seen that Chou only noticed one word: "Who is the Patriarch Luye?"

The people from Fudao Mountain gave her a blank look: "A very powerful old witch, you are not allowed to mention her!"

"Master, you obviously mentioned it first." Jianchou whispered.

"What did you say?"

"nothing……"

Seeing how fierce the Fudao Mountain people were, Jianchou also knew that this "Green Leaf Patriarch" probably couldn't be mentioned anymore, so he shut up quickly.

"I'll go back to the house and pack up."

She turned around and hurried into the house.

It was still dark at this time, and the night was still deep.

The oil lamp in the room was still burning quietly, and the flickering flame from time to time made the light in the whole room flicker and flicker between on and off.

Jianchou lifted the curtain of the back room, and the arrangement of the back room was the same as before.

She remembered that when Xie Buchen and Xie Buchen first moved here, they had received favors from many people, and now that she was leaving, she had to pay back these favors.

There is a bronze mirror on the ordinary Pisces cabinet, dimly reflecting Jianchou's shadow.

She saw scattered rouge and gouache on the table, all of which she used in the past.She remembered that the big girl from Liu's family not far away liked these things very much, maybe she could leave them to her...

Thinking of this, Jianchou sat in front of the makeup mirror.

He stretched out his hand to put down the hair that was tied up into a woman's bun, and for a moment, he saw a black waterfall falling down.The smooth hair was attached to Jianchou's cheek, she slowly combed it with a comb, and tied it into a simple bun again.

There were still clean clothes in the suitcase, so Jianchou turned out a set and replaced the blood-stained dress.A light blue dress with a flowing skirt, swaying as Jianchou walked.

She looked at herself in the mirror again, and recalled in a daze: she had only worn the bun for three months, which represented a married woman.

Stretching out his hand, Jianchou slowly turned the bronze mirror over and gently covered it on the table, only the pattern on the back of the bronze mirror was exposed.

Without taking another look, Jianchou turned around and went to tidy up the things in the house.

When Xie Buchen left, he didn't take anything with him.

Not even a single copper plate.

Jianchou found out, but didn't know how to feel, so he could only curl his lips meaninglessly.

She went to find a large piece of blue coarse cloth, spread it on the table outside, and put all the packed things on the coarse cloth.After a while it was covered with odds and ends, even a small axe.

The necessary change of clothes was put into another small bag by her, and some scattered silver coins were put into a money bag and tied around her waist.

Standing in front of the table in the outer room, the light of the oil lamp has dimmed a lot.The lamp oil in the lamp is gradually bottoming out.

Jianchou didn't refuel it, but turned to look at the table.

The sewing basket appeared before her eyes again.Inside, lay the silver lock with the red string lying quietly.

Outside, the Fudao Mountain person yelled for a long time, but he didn't see Jianchou answering him, so he stopped resentfully, waiting for her to finish packing and come out.

But after waiting for a long time, I only heard various sounds of ding ding dong dong.

He wondered for a moment: Are there so many things to pack?
Really impatient to wait, Fudao Shanren walked in directly, and saw Jianchou standing by the table with a lot of odds and ends on the table!

"My Luye Patriarch, are you traveling or moving? You are already practicing, so what are you doing with so much?"

Hurry up and take out a chicken leg to eat, it's shocking!
The people of Fudao Mountain really didn't expect that, seeing that you are a very smart girl, why is it so troublesome to go out?

Jianchou shook his head: "Not all of them have to be taken away."

Her voice was calm, with an unspeakable melancholy.

He stretched out his hand, and finally picked up the silver lock with red string in the sewing basket.

Warm fingertips, stroking the icy pattern, but seeing sorrow, I felt my heart burning.

She blinked and forced back her tears, then put away the silver lock and said, "I'm fine, Master, let's go."

After finishing speaking, she carried the small bag containing clothes on her shoulders, and with the other hand, she picked up another larger bag, and even the axe.

The corner of Fudao Mountain man's mouth twitched non-stop: "It's fine to take the burden, but what do you want to do with the ax?"

Jianchou said lightly, "It's better than hugging a goose."

"..."

Woohoo, this apprentice's mouth is so poisonous!
The Fudaoshan people felt that they were hurt, and they didn't want to talk anymore.

Jianchou lightly blew out the oil lamp, and a wisp of green smoke curled up in the darkness.

Only outside the house, there is still frosty moonlight.

Broken silver all over the place.

Jianchou went out, closed the door, passed the geese fence, and finally stood at the door.

Looking back, the courtyard in front of me is extremely simple.

The surroundings were silent, with the occasional sound of insects chirping.

The 23 years before her flowed quietly like this, without much ups and downs.This farmyard is the end of her 23 years.

And after tonight, she will embark on an unknown road.

What will happen in the future?

she does not know.

The moment she turned around, Jianchou seemed to have let go of all the past.When she walked out of the gate, she smiled when she saw the person from Fudao Mountain holding the big white goose and followed him out.

"Squeak-"

The door was closed again by her.

"Wow."

The brass lock was hung on the door, and with a light touch, it was locked.

Jianchou put the key by the door frame as usual, as if she just went out for a long trip and would come back later.

The man from Fudao Mountain looked at this scene, holding a big white goose in one hand, a broken bamboo pole in the other, a wine gourd hanging on his waist, and an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Hey, it's complicated, isn't it?"

"It doesn't count."

Just a little bit.

Jianchou exhaled slowly, then turned around and walked on the way she came back.

The man from Fudao Mountain pointed to the other side: "Your home is at the east end of the village. If we go straight to the east, won't we leave the village? Why are you still going that way?"

See worry did not answer.

She went all the way.

At this time, the people in the village had already rested, and there was darkness everywhere, except for the stars in the sky, which looked extraordinarily bright.

The family closest to Jianchou's family was named Xu.

When she and Xie Buchen first moved here, they had been helped by this family. Some time ago, Xie Buchen borrowed their ax to make a stool.

Jianchou bent down and placed the ax in his hand at the closed door of Xu's house.

Next, it was the Li family, the Zhang family...

At night, Jianchou's figure stayed in front of one door after another.

She also brought out the rouge and gouache, packed it in a small box, and placed it at the door of Liu's house.

Maybe, when the sun climbs out of the valley tomorrow morning and illuminates the whole village, the Liu family girl will wake up and open the door, and she will show a surprised expression?
Thinking about it, Jianchou smiled lightly, and after putting down the box, clapped his hands and straightened his waist.

At this time, the big burden she brought out was gone, and there was only a simple small burden.

The Fudao Mountain people looked at her like a monster at first, but later they could only admire her wholeheartedly.

Seeing the sorrow, he came back and walked out of the village with the Fudaoshan people, and said with a smile: "Master, don't you think I'm strange?"

"It's not surprising." The Fudao mountain people walked very lightly and leisurely, "repay the kindness, return the love, it is the most affectionate, the mountain people like it."

The most affectionate?
Seeing sorrow, I don't know if this sentence can really be put on me.She thought, since Master said so, she should accept it.

The two walked all the way, and soon came to the old tree in the center of the village.

Jianchou glanced at it, but Fudaoshanren stopped and looked at the wishing red silk cloth floating around.

He said: "Hang up that silver lock of yours."

"Master?"

Jianchou raised his head in surprise.

"why?"

"It's a thing of the past, you have to let it go." Fudao Mountain person said.

Jianchou subconsciously frowned, shook his head, expressed his reluctance, and smiled bitterly: "My unborn child only left me with such a small thought, won't I be allowed to take it away?"

The Fudao Mountain man looked at her for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh helplessly: "Forget it, let's go."

Perhaps, she will understand later.

Jianchou looked back at the old tree, the moonlight covered the branches, the red silk swayed in the wind, there were new and old, like countless people, countless wishes.

She silently thought about the meaning of Fudaoshanren asking her to do this, but in the end she was unwilling to let go of the silver lock, and she just put aside these countless thoughts and walked along the way.

"Master, where are we going?"

"Uh……"

The Fudao Mountain man scratched his head, hugged the big white goose, and thought about it.

"Do you know Nineteen Continents?"

"do not know."

Jianchou answered honestly.

The man from Fudao Mountain smiled and said: "The practitioners have great abilities, and the strong ones have the power to destroy the world, so they have never been with ordinary people. The world you live in now is the Great Xia Dynasty, which is not a small piece of land. The land is surrounded by sea on all sides, we call it "the isolated island of the world". Overseas, there have always been fairy mountains. Crossing the sea, there are nineteen continents, where practitioners gather and power is everywhere. We are going there, Master I have to do something along the way, let's go."

After speaking, he hugged the big white goose and was about to move forward.

The stars in the sky are still shining brightly.

Jianchou was walking on the mountain road, and the small village behind her was already far away from her.

She glanced at the big white goose that Fudaoshanren was holding, with a little smile in her eyes, and said: "Master, do you still want to carry the goose?"

"Goose?" The Fudao Mountain man was taken aback for a moment, then slapped his forehead, "Then what, why don't I eat it before leaving?"

"eat……"

Jianchou laughed inexplicably, as if he couldn't hold back.

"Master, this goose apprentice has been raised for a long time. Although I have given you filial piety, I still have some affection... Then what, I didn't say you can eat it just now."

"Ah?" Fudaoshan people were a little confused, "When you asked me to take you as an apprentice, didn't you say that the big white goose would go with me?"

"Oh……"

Jianchou seemed to realize suddenly, and then his face paled.

"That's right, the big white goose is going with you, please let Master let it go."

"..."

What... what?
The person from Fudao Mountain instantly showed an expression that had been struck by lightning: "You... you actually fooled me!"

The voice of grief and indignation spread throughout the entire mountain forest in an instant, startling the birds in their sleep.
