Xiao Shengnian left the capital, and headed eastward at high speed, traveling all day. Just arrived in Qingcheng. He changed horses. Rested at the inn for one night, and set off for Mengqi Mountain in a refreshing manner the next day.
Mengqi Mountain is a tall and straight mountain in the north of Qingcheng. There are many birds and beasts in the mountain. Occasionally, wild animals will come down the mountain to hurt people, so there are troops stationed at the foot of the mountain. Of course, these troops will not prevent hunters from the villages near Mengqi Mountain from going up the mountain to hunt. Instead, it will provide some help to the hunters.
Xiao Shengnian did not reveal his identity. He climbed the mountain from a little-known path, and occasionally he could hear the cheerful chirping of birds on the road. The mountain road is mixed with the smell of soil and the natural freshness of leaves, flowers and plants, and there are plants and trees all over. After he turned three corners. The road is relatively wide. A wooden house stands quietly surrounded by vegetation and flowers, and the scenery is as quiet and beautiful as a painting.
The most surprising thing is that there is a dozing tiger lying in front of the wooden house. And there was a dexterous parrot standing on the door, seeing Xiao Shengnian. The parrot repeated four words in a clumsy tone: "The apprentice is here, the apprentice is here."
The dozing tiger seemed a little impatient with the parrot's noise, it turned around and roared. Only then did he turn his head and take a look at Xiao Shengnian. The strange thing was that the tiger didn't have any special reaction when it saw someone coming, and instead lay down and took a nap again.
Xiao Shengnian walked to the door of the wooden house calmly, reached out and knocked on the door, he said in a humble and polite voice: "Teacher, Sheng Nian is here to see you."
There are not many people who can respect Xiao Shengnian so much, and the person who lives in the wooden house is one of them.
After waiting for a while, the door of the wooden house was opened, and a hale and hearty old man appeared in Xiao Shengnian's sight.
The old man was dressed in a plain gray robe, with two tattered cloth shoes on his feet. His complexion was as indifferent as the spring water in this mountain, and endless vicissitudes seemed to be contained in his cloudy eyes.
"Teacher." Xiao Shengnian's eyes were full of respect from the heart, which showed that this old man occupied a considerable place in his heart.
However, the old man just glanced at him with ordinary eyes, and said in a cold tone: "I'm a bad old man, I have nothing to see. As a prince, you are not staying in the capital. What are you doing here?"
"Sheng Nian doesn't want to disturb the teacher's cleanliness." Xiao Shengnian was not angry because of the old man's indifference, but expressed his apology in a serious tone.
"What are you looking for?" Probably because he knew that Xiao Shengnian was always steady and would not come to him for no reason, so Zhou Zaiyue turned sideways to give up the vacant seat at the door, finally planning to let Xiao Shengnian in.
Xiao Shengnian entered the room, and did not take the initiative to take a seat. He took off the jade pendant belonging to Su Jie on his waist, and said, "Teacher, Sheng Nian found this jade pendant by accident, because the pattern on the jade pendant is the same as the one given to Sheng Nian by the teacher." The pattern of the medicine box is the same, that's why I rushed here to disturb the teacher today."
Zhou Zaiyue reached out to close the wooden door, turned her head and squinted at the jade pendant, but didn't seem to have any special reaction.
Xiao Shengnian looked at him quietly.
But Zhou Zaiyue didn't answer, he walked to the chair and sat down, picked up a bowl of cold water on the table and drank a couple of sips.
His eyes were lowered, as if he was concentrating on looking at the water in the bowl, so Xiao Shengnian didn't see that Zhou Zaiyue's originally cloudy eyes seemed to push away the clouds and mist, and at this moment they gradually exuded a deep bright.
Zhou Zaiyue drank the cold water in the bowl in one go, but still couldn't suppress the heat in her heart. It's just that his tone was very calm, so calm that no one could know his inner thoughts: "Bring the jade pendant, let me take a closer look."
Xiao Shengnian passed the jade pendant with both hands.
