happy meeting

"Brother Mu Xian, what do you think of the scenery in Luoyang?"

"Peony Flower City, City of Mountains and Rivers."

"Then you said that the world is so big, there must be places more beautiful than Luoyang, right? I wonder if brother Muxian is interested..."

"No."

"I heard that there is a pool in the northwest, which is covered with snow all year round, but there are hot springs overflowing, which can be described as a wonder in the world. If you can enjoy the snowy scenery of Tianshan Mountain in the hot spring..."

"The mountain is high, hard to find, I am afraid of the cold."

"It is rumored that there is a Penglai fairy mountain in the east, and the scenery there is unparalleled, just like a fairyland!"

"It's just a sea illusion."

"Then... the Jiangnan water town, the bluestone path, the continuous drizzle, and the willows... also have a special charm."

"My ancestors were there."

"The coast of the South China Sea! The vast coast, flocks of sand geese, and rolling waves are even more refreshing!"

"I only like vegetables, fruits and vegetarian food, and I am afraid of acclimatization."

"Then Mobei..."

"Too hot."

"That Miao Jiang..."

"There are insects, snakes, rats and ants everywhere."

"What's so good about that?"

"Luoyang."

"..."

This is the scene in the restaurant the next day. Two handsome young men sat leaning against the railing. The man in blue robe shook his paper fan freely, but as the man opposite him swayed slower and slower, he finally leaned against the railing in frustration.

Ye Liuyun looked powerlessly at the lake from the second floor of the restaurant, and sighed, "Brother Mu Xian, I asked you to come here to discuss where to travel..."

Chao Muxian held the teacup in his hand, with a calm expression on his face: "No."

"Brother Mu Xian, the world is so big, you can't be trapped to death in one place! I think it's better to travel with brother Mu Xian like a confidant? As the saying goes, read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and enjoy the scenery in all directions. Fang gets the true meaning of the book."

Chao Muxian raised his teacup and took a sip: "I'm busy."

Ye Liuyun let out another long sigh, thinking hard how to persuade Chao Muxian again, his confidant should not miss it like this.

Looking at each other in silence, a man dressed in fine clothes came to the second floor, looked around, and saw the curtain string by the window, his eyes flashed with joy.Chao Muxian also glanced at the man, frowning invisibly.

The man in Chinese clothes ran over in small steps, knelt down towards Chao Muxian, and bowed respectfully: "See you, Lord Chao."

Well?Ye Liuyun looked at the well-dressed man, and then at the person opposite, the movements of his hands also paused, his confidant status seemed unusual.

Zhao Muxian didn't answer, just looked at the man quietly.

"My lord, I have found you. The emperor asked the little one to send a message, saying that the lord is also idle, but he can do some serious business. As the number one scholar, the position is vacant, which is not in line with etiquette. And Princess Luo Yuan said she would Come to see you, and mention the matter of getting married to the Holy One."

Chao Muxian suddenly turned his head to look at Ye Liuyun, who was a little stunned, and said, "Brother Liuyun already made an appointment with me to go to Yunyou?"

The kneeling man was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ye Liuyun who was sitting on the side. This man looked familiar, could it be Ye Shangshu's son?

Ye Liuyun was confused: "Where is Brother Mu Xian going? Tianchi?"

"Both go."

"Aren't you afraid of the cold?"

"It won't be cold after soaking."

"Isn't it time for the Penglai illusion?"

"There are beautiful mountains and clear waters there, and it is a place of leisure. Maybe we can meet again."

"Haven't you been to Jiangnan?"

"By the way, pay homage to the ancestral grave."

"The coast of the South China Sea..."

"It's not bad to try fish and turtles."

"Mobei..."

"The desert is solitary and the smoke is straight, and the long river is setting in the sun. I have been waiting for scholars for such a scene for a long time."

"Miao Jiang..."

"There are countless exotic flowers and plants."

"...Okay." Ye Liuyun twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, his confidant was indeed different from ordinary people, "When will I go?"

"At noon tomorrow, here," Chao Muxian got up and said, "Go buy some goods first."

"Okay, then he..." Ye Liuyun folded the paper fan and got up as well.

"Who? Is there anyone else here?" Chao Muxian looked back at Ye Liuyun, his thin lips were slightly pursed, maybe they were still moist after drinking tea, his eyebrows were raised slightly, and Mo Tan's eyes seemed to have a cold light, cold look good.

Ye Liuyun was a little absorbed in watching, and then withdrew his mind, and said with a smile: "No." He has a good appearance as a bosom friend, but his temperament seems a little strange, but these are not in the way.

Saying goodbye to Brother Mu Xian temporarily, Ye Liuyun returned to the inn where he was temporarily staying, and asked A Luo to buy some things on the way with him, and then wrote a letter and sent it home, saying that he would spend a while Go back, don't worry.

"Brother Mu Xian, where shall we go first?" Outside the city of Hangzhou, two handsome men and a man who looked like a servant each rode a horse and stopped under the stone plaque.

The man in the blue robe was dressed relaxed, the paper fan in his hand was shaking slowly, he turned around and said to the boy who was about to be overwhelmed by the burden: "Ah Luo, you are going to follow yourself, and you have brought these things with you. Don't blame me... Uh, don't you feel tired? Why don't you go, brother Mu Xian and I just take care of each other."

A Luo gritted his teeth, and shook his head fiercely, "Master told me to follow you. Besides, traveling in the clouds is very hard, the young master will definitely not be able to take care of himself well, and maybe he will cause trouble to the young master."

Ye Liuyun thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this was the case. He rubbed his index finger against the handle of the fan, and hesitantly replied, "That's fine."

In stark contrast, Chao Muxian was only carrying a burden behind him, and he was relaxed.Looking back lightly, he saw dust flying on the path, as if someone was galloping on horseback, and sure enough, he saw a figure on horseback in a short while.

"Master Chao! Sir Chao! Don't go! The princess is here! Princess Luoyuan wants to see you! Wait!" There was a sharp voice on the road, because it was too hasty and the tone was weird, but it could still be heard that the man It was the well-dressed man I saw in the restaurant yesterday.

"Go." Chao Muxian frowned, grabbed the reins without hesitation, and ran to the distance. Ye Liuyun reacted, let go of the horse's hoof and galloped towards Chao Muxian.Suffering from Aluo, he tugged on the rein and wobbled on the horse, "Master, wait for me..."

"Hey, Brother Mu Xian, where are we going?" Ye Liuyun turned his head and watched the figure of the man in the Chinese costume getting smaller and smaller until he disappeared at the junction of the road and the sky, and asked suspiciously.

"Miao Jiang."

"But Miao Jiang doesn't seem to be going in this direction. Brother Mu Xian wants to learn from the ancients that 'the opposite is the opposite'?"

"... Tianchi."

"It's good, it's just that it's hot now, and most people go there to enjoy the shade, and there are few people in hot springs. Why don't you go to the desert?"

"...Detour, turn around, and go to Miaojiang."

"Brother Yimuxian."

Miao Jiang——

The dark green branches and leaves cover the sky, only a few rays of sunlight shine through.The forest is full of the smell of green leaves of wet dew, with a faint fragrance of flowers.

The colorful pattern on the big tree is very colorful, but when you look closely, you can find that it is a snake. The colorful big snake is spitting out a letter, and the triangular pupils emit a cold light, looking down at the outsider.The huge flowers are coiled on the tree roots, and there are green scorpions on the bewitching petals. The bewitching color of the flower attracts the butterflies of five colors to stay, and then the petals are instantly wrapped around the butterfly and swallowed slowly.

"Brother Mu Xian, is this Miao Jiang? Why is this..." Ye Liuyun forced a smile, rubbing his index finger against the handle of the fan non-stop.

As early as when entering the border of Miaojiang, the horses were given to others to be fostered. There are many poisons in Miaojiang, and the horses will be bitten if they are not careful. Naturally, they cannot ride over.

"Nothing, they won't attack us if there is Gu."

"Miaojiang people are so powerful that they can control these poisons," A Luo sighed after Ye Liuyun. "No wonder some people regard Miaojiang people as unknown but dare not provoke them. Just play two Gu and attract two snakes to kill them." Get rid of them."

"I really want to learn..." Ye Liuyun carefully pushed aside the dead snake under his feet, trembling all over, curious and terrified at the same time.

"Learning the Gu poison of Miaojiang, I have been eating poisonous flowers and weeds as food since I was a child, and I often put Gu on myself. Do you want to try?" Chao Muxian opened the road and said, "Don't move casually when you arrive in Miao Village. Their things, especially snakes, are the treasures of the Miao people."

"Brother Mu Xian is really knowledgeable."

Just as Ye Liuyun responded, he suddenly threw the folding fan in his hand and smashed it towards the upper right of the curtain string.Chao Muxian hurriedly raised his head to look for it, and it turned out to be a green snake, which was less than two feet away from him while spitting out a letter.Before he could think about it, he pulled Ye Liuyun's wrist sideways, almost subconsciously protecting Ye Liuyun behind him.

"Muxian..." Be careful, Ye Liuyun had just breathed out two syllables when he found that Chao Muxian was already blocking him.Perhaps it was because the green snake had been enraged by the fan just now, its tail hooked on the treetops, and it slid towards the two of them with a "hissy" spitting out a message, before opening its mouth and biting it off.

Both of them were frail scholars, Chao Muxian could only watch the green snake bite towards his shoulder, but the expected severe pain did not come, instead he heard the gasp of the people behind him.Regardless of other matters, he grabbed the seven-inch vital point, pulled it off, and threw it into the bamboo basket that had been filled with incense.

After finishing the snake, he turned around quickly, and saw Ye Liuyun pinching his right wrist with his left hand, the veins in his right hand were protruding, blue and black had spread on his arm, and his complexion was pale and terrifying.

The danger was only in an instant, and A Luo was frightened and stupid, and then he reacted, and quickly rummaged through the bag for the medicine he had prepared.

Chao Muxian remembered what he had read in the book, if bitten by a poisonous snake, the poisonous blood should be sucked out first.After all, it was Ye Liuyun who took a bite for him just now, covering the wound on his right hand with his lips, sucking out the poisonous blood mouth by mouth, and then spitting it aside.

"Alo, go to the side and see if there are any leaves in the shape of three leaves, pick a few."

Ye Liuyun looked at Chao Muxian sucking poisonous blood, the blood color stained his red lips, showing a bit more coquettish color, there was an inexplicable color in his cold eyes, he was so engrossed that he didn't even care about the pain in his hand.

Chao Muxian finished sucking the poisonous blood, took the herb handed over by Aluo, tore two leaves, chewed them up and mixed them, and applied them on.

"Let's go first, the longer you stay here, the more dangerous you will be, and you will reapply the medicine when you are in the village." Chao Muxian wrapped his hands with a white cloth, his eyes darkened.

Although Ye Liuyun was bitten by a snake, he acted like a normal person, smiling coquettishly: "Oh, Brother Mu Xian, wait, can you pick up the fan for me?"

Chao Muxian frowned, "Dirty."

"No, that's the calligraphy and painting that brother Muxian gave me."

"I'll write to you again."

"That's the first gift from brother Muxian, it can't be thrown away." Seeing Ye Liuyun's determined face, Chao Muxian had no choice but to pick it up.

Fortunately, the few people had already traveled more than half of the distance, but they arrived at Miao Jiang village in a short while, and found a Miao Jiang doctor to detoxify Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun sat on the rattan chair and kept yelling, "It hurts, it hurts!... Take it easy, take it easy!"

Squatting in front of him was a Miaojiang man in a strange costume, stabbing the arms of two snakes and scorpions and helping Ye Liuyun with medicine, which was really weird.

"It seems to have bitten the tendon of the hand." Seeing that he was screaming so loudly, Chao Muxian frowned.

"It's a good thing that Brother Mu Xian was not bitten, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see Brother Mu Xian's handwriting." Ye Liuyun smiled and heaved a sigh of relief, "If Brother Mu Xian was bitten to protect me, wouldn't I be immortal?" A sinner?"

There were ripples in Chao Mu Xian Tan Mo's eyes, which was why he was bitten on his behalf?It's really quite speechless.

"This poison is not harmful, but if it bites the tendon of the hand, it may still have some effects. The little brother seems to be a scholar." The Miao Jiang man put on a bandage and stood up. "It's best not to get wet. Also, here we are, It’s best not to go into the woods, the snakes and scorpions inside are extremely poisonous. The next time you get bitten, you may not be so lucky this time. I still have something to do, I wish you a good journey.”

"Well, thank you brother." Chao Muxian cupped his hands in thanks.

"Brother Mu Xian, what should we do? Where else can we go now?" Ye Liuyun looked at him expectantly.

Squatting down towards Muxian, poked his balled hand, watching him grit his teeth and inhale: "Where do you want to go after this is all over?"

"Where I can't go, I'm here to play. This little injury doesn't get in the way."

"It's not that you came to Yunyou to learn more, when did you come to play?"

"This..." Ye Liuyun lost his voice for a moment, and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, brother Mu Xian, I heard that the people of Miaojiang can control snakes and scorpions, let's go and see. Miaojiang has many mountains and waters, and it is said that the scenery is extremely beautiful!" Excited, he pulled his hand, his face was distorted, his face was pale, and his eyes were teary.

Chao Muxian saw this, his eyes darkened, and he refused: "I won't go. If you really want to go, take Aluo with you. I'm going to buy something." Then he got up and touched the top of his hair, "You Take it easy."

"Oh... what do you want to buy?" Ye Liuyun, who was startled by Chao Muxian's action, took a while to react, and raised his voice to ask his back.

"I'll know in the future." Chao Muxian's voice came from afar, Ye Liuyun looked at his back and smiled softly, who said his confidant was indifferent?Obviously if you treat him well, he will treat you better.He took a bite on his behalf, and what he got was his approval, the approval of becoming a friend and bosom friend.

After staying in Miaojiang for a month, it was already late autumn, traveling along the northeast all the way, the wind was cool and the clouds were clear, and there was a sense of bleakness everywhere.There was the sound of horseshoes on the silent mountain road.A clear and bright male voice could be heard faintly, shouting the words "Brother Mu Xian" in a tired and crooked manner.

"Brother Mu Xian, let's go to the south of the Yangtze River first and then to the South China Sea? I feel like I've been in Miaojiang for a month, and my bones are wet..."

"There is a lot of rain in the south of the Yangtze River." Chao Muxian replied.

"But the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful. It is said that the south of the Yangtze River is misty and rainy, the bluestone trails, the beauties pass by with umbrellas, and the waist is as weak as a willow." Ye Liuyun said, shaking the paper fan.

"Master, I'm afraid this is your real purpose?" A Luo lay powerlessly on the horse's back.

"The beauties come out of Jiangnan. What's the point of going to Jiangnan and not seeing beauties. But I heard that there are many beauties in Luoyang, so why haven't I met a few?" Ye Liuyun asked doubtfully, shaking his fan.

"Because young master, you have met Mr. Chao... Which beauty is more beautiful than Mr. Chao?" A Luo muttered softly.

Chao Muxian cast a faint glance at A Luo, who was so startled that A Luo quickly shut up, looked around and pretended that he hadn't said anything.

Hearing this, Ye Liuyun nodded deeply.
