Since Yi Cheng and the others came down the mountain, several years have passed slowly through their fingers.
Da Mei was unaware that Qin Shou's clone had been secretly following and protecting her, so every month she would habitually write a letter to the mountain, recounting what they had seen, heard, experienced, and felt down below. She also recounted how Yi Cheng, ignoring all advice, insisted on taking Xiao Pang and Black Rabbit to mine. One time, Black Rabbit dug through a mine shaft and fell into an ancient mine, where it was swallowed by a powerful ancient demon slumbering below. Fortunately, Da Bao reacted in time, smashing the entire mine and grabbing the demon by the neck, then forcefully punching its stomach, finally spitting Black Rabbit out. Black Rabbit was almost digested!
"I cast a protective spell on the Black Rabbit."
Qin Shou silently grumbled in his heart.
Over the years, Da Mei and her friends have taken Xiao Nuan on a journey of sightseeing, fighting evil and promoting good. They have visited many beautiful places, witnessed the eternal night aurora borealis in Beihai, watched the ever-changing clouds on Wanfo Mountain, admired the ever-blooming night-blooming trees in the Crystal Wonderland, and rolled through the "warm sun and gentle snow" of the vast snowfield...
His footprints have covered several states.
I feel very warm and happy.
She said she was full of anticipation for all the beautiful things in the world.
She passed through many places and used many of the wonderful little spells that Qin Beasts had taught her to capture or imprint many beautiful scenes in the secret treasures given to her by Qin Beasts. She said that when she returned in the future, she would let her master see the strange and beautiful scenery of this world.
Because Aunt Da Mei said that Master never goes down the mountain, he must have missed many beautiful sights, so Nuan Nuan wants to bring some back for Master to enjoy together.
In fact, the Qin beast, guarding her from behind, had already witnessed the beautiful scenery she saw, and her joyful exuberance within it.
In the third year after Da Mei and her friends left the mountain, Da Mei met an old scholar who took her to an academy and wanted to take her as his last disciple.
Da Mei wrote that they had stayed at the Confucian Academy for three months and she liked it very much. She wanted to stay there to study, but Yi Cheng and the others couldn't stay in one place and kept clamoring to go down the mountain to play. Da Mei was very worried about her younger sister and Yi Cheng, so she was a little conflicted and confided her little troubles to herself.
After reading the letter, Qin Shou simply replied that she should go ahead and do what she wanted, and that Little Fatty and Yi Cheng would be fine.
After receiving Qin Shou's letter, Da Mei finally felt relieved and focused on her studies at the Confucian Academy. Later, Da Mei's replies became more frequent, mostly recounting her experiences at the academy. For example, she mentioned a senior brother who seemed a bit dull, but would blush and become speechless whenever he met her senior sister... or how her senior sister was fierce to the other students, but incredibly gentle with her... or how she was bullied one day by a royal descendant from another dynasty studying at the academy, a situation she was usually reluctant to discuss... Ignoring my third senior brother, he directly drew his sword and beheaded the prince. Later, the old emperor of that dynasty sent a very powerful general to demand an explanation, but the cool third senior brother said, "My junior sister is the only reason," and then beheaded him as well. Then the old emperor of that dynasty was furious and threatened to raze the Confucian Academy to the ground. But three days later, the emperor suddenly changed his attitude, sent many gifts, and kept apologizing to me, which left me dumbfounded. I thought to myself, my third senior brother's prestige is too great.
"It's not that your third senior brother is so powerful, it's that I went and beat up that dog emperor, his father, and his father's father." Qin Shou silently added in his mind.
Da Mei also said that the Confucian academy teaches all kinds of people, and she saw many demons in the academy. Her gentlest seventh senior sister is a very powerful demon.
It's worth mentioning that this Confucian academy was indeed very powerful, but when Yi Cheng and his troublemakers arrived, it still caused quite a ruckus. No wonder, because supposedly, the academy's so-called "Three Gentlemen," the one Da Mei mentioned as the third senior brother, couldn't help but discipline this chubby kid who was a major headache for all the students and teachers on the mountain after Yi Cheng and his friends accidentally cooked his spirit pet. As a result, Yi Cheng, with his little belly sticking out, stood there letting him hack at him eighty-one times. The entire mountain was leveled, the swords were shattered, but Yi Cheng stood there unharmed, blinking his innocent little eyes, and asked in a pouty voice, "Why...why did you hit the goose?"
It is said that when Yi Cheng asked that question, the usually aloof and expressionless San Junzi broke down on the spot, his hands and feet trembling and his eyes red as he left and returned to his room. It is said that he did not come out of his room until he heard that Yi Cheng had gone down the mountain.
......
The scenery on Turtle Mountain is unchanging, perhaps not as colorful as that at the foot of the mountain, but in Qin Shou's eyes, it is the most beautiful scenery.
Because this place holds his four seasons, his two lifetimes of ups and downs, and the memories of his old friends waiting for him...
"Brother Song, let's play chess!"
Today the weather is fine and the flowers are in full bloom.
Qin Shou sat under the tree, put down Da Mei's latest letter, and then waved his sleeve to set up a chessboard to invite her to join him.
Song Ningsheng floated on a peach tree on the mountaintop, gazing blankly at a secluded pool hundreds of miles below, where two ants were fighting.
But after hearing the call of the Qin beast, he turned around and hesitated.
"What's so interesting about two ants fighting? Come on, let's play chess. I won't cheat this time."
Upon hearing this, Song Ningsheng became even more hesitant.
Qin Beast: "............" Sigh, silence is truly a silent sadness.
"Haha, Brother Song, Brother Qin, it's been a century! I've missed you all so much!"
Just then, a loud laugh came from afar.
A handsome young man with a refined and elegant appearance arrived amidst the rosy clouds, his eyes sparkling and his spirit soaring.
"Oh, it's my brother Luo!"
Qin Shou rose to greet him.
A hundred years ago, Luo Xi was willing to sacrifice his own Dao and life to fight alongside the Qin Beast. This friendship was enough to move the Qin Beast to its core.
"Brother Luo, come and try my newly brewed wine. It's called 'A Dream of Yellow Millet,' and its value depends entirely on fate. Legend has it that those whose fate is right can drink it and dream of entering a dreamlike world, seeking answers to their past and present lives. Its value is no less than that Enlightenment Wine. I've been brewing it for seventy years to obtain these two jars."
Qin Shou warmly invited Luo Xihe to take a seat.
"Haha, then thank you very much, Brother Qin."
Luo Xihe clasped his hands, wearing a golden robe, jade belt, and gilded crown. Every gesture he made exuded an elegant and noble air, which was hard to compare with the image of the old man who used to pick his toes all the time.
It has to be said that this guy was incredibly handsome when he was young.
As for looks, Qin Shou estimated that in the entire world, only his own naturally beautiful face, with its divine physique and Daoist bones, could surpass his own. Even his handsome, demonic dog disciple was slightly inferior.
