Chapter 85: The Donor's Leader

The sun has only been in the west for a short time, and it is estimated that it will be two or three hours before sunset.

If no one comes over during this time, then they can have a good night's rest and make plans tomorrow.

But these two or three hours were a bit difficult.

Qingchen Dao Chang came back in a hurry after not much time to go out, and saw Yang Congyi sitting upright in the posture she had left, and the anxiety on her face lightened a little.

"Drink some water, and I'll see if I can find something to eat nearby." She opened the lid of the bamboo tube filled with water and handed it to Yang Congyi.

Yang Congyi was also a little thirsty, so he couldn't be polite, so he took it and drank half a tube, and after returning it to the Qingchen Dao Chief, he said: "You are also tired, don't be busy first, rest for a while, and wait for the sun to set." After saying that, he closed his eyes and continued to practice luck.

Qingchen Daoist didn't say anything more, silently sat down cross-legged beside Yang Congyi, and also began to practice and recover his spirit.

Although the scorching sun could not shine on the stone cliff, it also roasted the air hot, and there was no wind in the dense forest, so the two of them did not have a good time. Yang Congyi listened attentively to the movements around him, and if there were bandits looking for him, he had to run away in advance. Fortunately, this anxious afternoon was safe and sound, and there were no woods to disturb.

At sunset, the chief of the dust-clearing road went out again, and came back with some hard-boiled eggs. Looking at the bird's egg, Yang Congyi sincerely admired, this little road leader is really not simple, and his field life skills are not much worse than him.

After eating, the temperature under the stone cliff gradually dropped, the sky also darkened, and the moon appeared in the sky, dotted with stars, not very clear.

"The moon and stars are scarce, the black magpie flies south, three turns around the tree, and what branches can be followed." Yang Congyi suddenly felt something.

Qingchen Dao Chang asked, "Is this a poem?" ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "This is Prime Minister Cao Cheng's "Short Song Xing" during the Three Kingdoms period in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and these are just a few of them. ”

Qingchen Dao Chang said again: "My father used to read poetry a lot. You've read books for more than ten years, and you should have written a lot of poems, can you read them to me? ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "I read a lot of poems and write very little. Now it's okay, I'll write a poem and read it to you. After speaking, he began to ponder and groan.

He is not very good at writing poems, but in this case, he should still write one, otherwise the book of more than ten years will not be read in vain.

As soon as Qingchen Dao Chang heard that Yang Congyi was going to compose a poem, he immediately sat aside with great interest and waited quietly.

After a while, I only heard Yang Congyi read from his mouth:

The moon hangs in the sky, and the young man lies under the forest.

That year changed, and I dreamed back to the past.

Providence is so tricky, in the mountains and forests.

After learning half a trick, Fang left Dabie Mountain.

The road is uneven, and Taihu County is wronged.

Qingtian saved his life, and he will not be idle from now on.

In order to reward the kindness of the acquaintance, rush to the mountains and rivers.

There are no trivial things at every turn, who knows the hardships and dangers.

It has only been two months, and he has entered Tianzhu Mountain.

Panlong soup soup, the mountain is busy for snakes.

Running all night in the mountains, looking for a place to hide.

The snake venom could not be removed, and suddenly a dream was long.

Suddenly, I heard that there was a long way, as if it had fallen from the sky.

Dan's heart is skillful, and he has been healthy in a moment.

The Taoist is like a god, drawing his sword and retreating from the snakes.

I don't know the geography of the sky, and I know the lesson of the ten palms.

The chief went to fetch water, but the stone cliff trapped the road.

The slender hand divides the mountain stone, and the stone cave is present in the stone.

There is the sound of water in the dripping, and there are wooden barrels by the pool.

Da En did not say thank you, waved his hand and parted.

I hope that Hongchen will see it, so that I can return the kindness.

See you again in a blink of an eye, still in the mountains and rivers.

Now that he has another life, how can he return it in this life.

Take care of your health, say goodbye and go down the mountain.

I want to go to the incense burner, and the Taoist chief is with me.

How bumpy it is to go, and the end of the world is unknown.

The bright moon is with you, who will accompany you on the road ahead?

Yang Congyi spoke eloquently in one breath, telling about the happiness and sorrow he had encountered in the past two years, and he was full of worries about the road he would take in the future.

Although this long poem is not very good, Qingchen Dao listened carefully, this is he telling his own experience, although he doesn't understand very well, but it sounds very heavy, and a little depressed, she participated in the second half of the experience, but it is clear, his worries, she is also clear, and said: "Such a long poem, you are really good, maybe you can be a champion." ”

Yang Congyi smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm not good at writing poems or anything, so it's better to take poetry and essays to take the top prize." ”

"Will you come back to the mountains after you take the top prize in the exam?" Qingchen Dao Leader asked again.

Yang Congyi replied without thinking: "If you really take the top prize, you should have something big to do, how can you have time to go to the mountains to relax." This time out of the mountain, I'm afraid there is no chance to come back. If you go outside with your master, you can go to find me, if nothing else, I will stay in Huaining Yamen for a long time, and if you go, you will definitely find me. ”

Qingchen Dao Chang was silent, and only after a long time did he say: "Master rarely goes out of the mountain and enters the city, this time he leaves Panlong Mountain to go out and travel, he may go all the way north, out of Tianzhu Mountain, through Tongbai Mountain, to the west to Huashan, and then to Emei Mountain, and finally he may concentrate on cultivation in Hengshan." If you go to take the top prize, we shouldn't be able to see each other in the future. ”

After hearing this, Yang Congyi smiled and said: "The place you can go to in this world is so big, no matter how far it is, you can reach it in a year and a half." If you arrive in Hengshan and decide not to leave there, send me a message, I will go to you when I have time, no matter how far the road is, I will always see you again. ”

Qingchen said, "Are you really going to see us?" The road is so far, Master said that this way down, if it is fast, it will be one or two years, if it is slow, it will be possible in three or five years, or ten years, and after such a long time, I don't know if you still remember us. ”

It's very dark, the two can't see each other's expressions, Yang Congyi is pessimistic about this issue, don't say ten years, that is, one or two years, three or five years, after the living environment changes, people who were familiar with it before will become very strange. When I was a child, I drove a playmate in crotch pants, I used to talk about everything, but I didn't see each other for a year or two after graduating from high school, and I didn't have anything to say when I said goodbye, and I was already two passers-by.

Asking Qingchen Dao Chang this, of course he can't be too pessimistic, Dao Chang also saved his life twice, and he has to repay him for everything, there are not many people in this world who are good to him.

So he replied with great certainty: "Of course, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is so big, one year from east to west is enough, and one year from south to north is enough, and distance is never a problem." I will keep everything in Tianzhu Mountain in my heart for the rest of my life, as long as you stay there for a long time and send me a message, I will definitely go to see you. ”

Qingchen Daoist said in a low voice: "Okay, when I go to Hengshan with Master, I will ask someone to send you a message." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, they suddenly felt that the atmosphere around them was a little awkward, and the two of them fell silent in an instant.

After a while, Yang Congyi said: "Rest early, it's not safe here, we have to leave early tomorrow morning." With that, he lay on his side.

Qingchen Dao Chang let out a "hmm" and rested on the spot.

But it's hard to say whether they can sleep or not, at least Yang Congyi practiced for a long time before he gradually fell asleep.

The next day, before dawn, the birds in the forest began to chirp and not listen, making the silent morning even quieter.

The night in the mountains and forests in the summer was slightly cool, and when Yang Congyi woke up, he saw that the head of the Qingchen Dao had already packed his things.

Although the wound on the back is still very painful, it is much better than yesterday, and the wound is no longer bleeding, and it basically does not affect walking. After washing his face with water and waking up his mind, he erased the traces left under the stone cliff, got out of the dense forest, and quickly headed west while there was no one on the road.

Two hours later, when the sun rose, they were far from the mountain, but they still did not dare to be careless, and for the sake of safety, they found a place to rest in the woods two or three miles away from the roadside.

Qingchen Dao Chang boiled hot water, carefully cleaned Yang Congyi's wounds, replaced them with new medicines, and found some food to replenish his strength, and after a short rest, he set off on the road again.

Yesterday suffered a loss, learned a lesson, and at Yang Congyi's suggestion, Qingchen Dao's face turned darker, and there were some more black spots on his face, which looked much safer. Although at first, the Qingchen Daoist was reluctant, but when he saw Yang Congyi's wound, he accepted the proposal. On the way after that, there was no problem with the dust cleaning road chief.

Yang Congyi carried a knife, as he encountered more bandits, his walking posture became more and more like bandits, so it saved a lot of trouble, some people asked and said that it was to escort the Taoist, Tianzhu Mountain Dao, Buddha has it, the general bandits dare not provoke casually, but they can also get through the customs in confusion.

I walked all the way for more than ten days, with the Taoist chief on the side, and I didn't encounter many difficulties and dangers on the road.

These days, whether it is sleeping in the wilderness or staying in a farmhouse, the Taoist chief of Qingchen will not forget to change the dressing of Yang Congyi's wound every day, because the dressing is changed more frequently, the wound will be scabbed and healed in less than ten days, and it will be completely recovered, the Taoist chief is very surprised, but this is not in Yang Congyi's opinion, there is nothing, he has been practicing Taoist exercises for a while, his physical fitness is good, his hematopoietic function is enhanced, and it is normal for the wound to heal faster.

On this day, after asking for directions again, Qingchen Dao Chang lowered his head and walked, and remained silent and never spoke. It wasn't until Yang Congyi couldn't help but ask how far it was that she replied, not far, half a day's journey.

Yang Congyi's heart was light, and after walking for half a month, it was finally here. But I don't know if I will meet the peak master smoothly after going up the mountain and join the Loyalty League, and the things that will follow, without the help of forces like the Loyalty League, he will not succeed even if he joins the Loyalty League. But now all the plans are to think about it, and only by going to the incense burner peak and meeting the lord of Wang Feng is the first step.

There is a dagger given to him by Brother Song, and when he arrives at the mountain gate, he only needs to take out the dagger, saying that it is recommended by the old man of the peak master, and he comes to visit, as long as Brother Song is not bragging, it should be no problem to go up the mountain. Fortunately, this dagger was found by the Qingchen Dao Chief, otherwise she wouldn't know how to go up the mountain, so she should really thank her.

Half a day's journey is not far, plus they are people who practice martial arts, and they are full of physical strength, Yang Congyi is in a happy mood, so he naturally sped up. Not long to see a peculiar mountain peak towering in front of you, this mountain is not particularly high, about two or three hundred zhang, full of verdant, but the top of the mountain seems to have mountain stones, and there are no trees, look at it from a distance, there is a black shadow erected on the top of the mountain, as thin as a bamboo chopsticks.

"Incense Burner Peak" Yang Congyi couldn't help shouting, his voice was full of excitement, and he couldn't help but speed up his feet again.

The Qingchen Dao Leader didn't speak, only followed closely behind.

It took the two of them about an hour to finally come to the foot of the mountain, rest for a while, and go up halfway up the mountain in one breath to the gate of the mountain.

Yang Congyi briefly explained his intention to the mountain guards, took out the dagger and handed it to them, and waited with the Qingchen Dao Chief.

After a short time, the bandits came back, returned the dagger to Yang Congyi, and told him that he could go up the mountain.

Qingchen Dao Chang has been silent since he went up the mountain, and he was naturally very relieved to see that Yang Congyi could go up the mountain smoothly.

Seeing that things were going so well, Yang Congyi was very happy, so many days of hardship were not in vain, and the head of the Qingchen Dao really helped a lot.

Qingchen Dao can't grow up the mountain, and the two are about to separate, so Yang Congyi looked at her and said softly: "Thank you for taking care of me these days, I can come here so smoothly." ”

Qingchen Daoist just smiled and looked at him without speaking.

The incense burner peak has arrived, and the two will finally have a farewell.

So Yang Congyi said softly: "This farewell, the mountains are high and the waters are long, if you can see you again, I don't know what year and month it is." A lot of kindness, there is no way to repay, I hope that the Tao is long, youth will be eternal, and happiness and health will be long! As he spoke, he presented the dagger in both hands as a souvenir.

Qingchen Dao Chang hesitated slightly, but finally took the dagger and said softly: "No matter how far the road is and how long the water is, I will pray for the donor, and I hope that the donor will be named the gold list as soon as possible, and the marquis and the king!" ”

The two solemnly exchanged a salute, and the Qingchen Daoist turned to leave.

A donor, a long road, the fate is scattered, and the water meets, and it is a guest in a foreign land.

A farewell road is far away, separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, a leisurely landscape, practicing the Tao and cultivating immortals, a red dust rolling, busy as an official, when it is indefinite, goodbye no fate.

Yang Congyi watched the figure of Qingchen Dao Chang gradually disappear among the branches and leaves of the mountain forest, until he could no longer see it, turned around and entered the door and went up the mountain, with a smile on his face, his brows stretched, and the incense burner peak was the starting point for him to turn everything around.
