Where will I wake up tonight? The willow bank, the dawn wind and the waning moon.

In the dream, I only saw Fengyun Xing, but when I woke up, I smelled the red sleeves of Rouge. Lying under the eaves of the temple, Li Xiuyuan waved his sleeves, trying to cover up the first ray of light in the morning.

Unexpectedly, my nose smelled a scent that was not like the floral fragrance in the Apricot Blossom Valley, but a faint scent of rouge.

I couldn't help but chuckled: "I didn't know that I was a guest in the dream. Mumu, are you okay in heaven?"

Huayu and Tantai have been down the mountain in the rain for many days. They must have been taken care of by Agui and Xiaohong, so nothing major happened.

He gave the two of them a lot of gold coins, not to mention spiritual stones, which was enough for the two women to do some shopping at the foot of the mountain.

Therefore, Li Xiuyuan, who was half asleep, was wondering, where did this faint fragrance come from?

Neither Hua Yu nor Tantai Xiaoyu dared to be so naughty with him.

If there was anyone in the world who dared to mess around in front of him, apart from his former master wife Li Hongxiu, the only ones who were in the Phoenix Valley were Mu Mu and his precious disciple Nangong Ruyu.

But now he is alone on Tianshan Mountain, where does the fragrance come from?

While he was thinking about it, another itching came from his ears, which made him have to open his eyes, and then sighed softly: "Is this a dream?"

The girl in a white dress held his hand and laughed: "Of course it's not a dream anymore. Brother, get up quickly. Sister Yu'er is going for a walk with the old Taoist priest."

Li Xiuyuan silently held the girl's soft and boneless hand, sighed leisurely and said: "Let him go, Mumu, are you very disappointed?"

The disappointment Li Xiuyuan mentioned was naturally referring to his aging body.

These days, the most he can do is pull weeds in the fields, and occasionally grab a handful of broken rice to feed the chickens, which are no different from pheasants.

Mu Mu took his hand and sighed, murmuring: "The old Taoist priest said that this is my brother's fate, and even Mu Mu and sister Yu'er can't do anything about it."

Having said this, the girl couldn't help but shed two drops of crystal tears.

It dripped into Li Xiuyuan's palm with a click, and then slowly sank into Li Xiuyuan's palm under the gazes of the two people.

Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly and said, "My place was very lively a few days ago. My godson Watson and his two sisters, and the Agui family down the mountain are all here to accompany me."

Mu Mu was stunned, looked at him and asked, "When did my brother get a godson?"

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said softly: "You also know Watson's mother. She was the girl who sold flowers on the roadside back then. Didn't we later pass by the town and buy saury for you to eat?"

Mu Mu nodded thoughtfully, but desperately wanted to replay the scene that happened in the Five Realms before her eyes.

Until the old Taoist priest walking in the mountains waved a light, allowing Mu Mu to see a moment of yesterday, allowing him to see what he looked like in the small town...

It was already half past midnight when the husband knocked on Li Ye's door. Li Hongxiu came in and looked at Mu Mu who was still snoring. She patted her gently and said, "Little lazy pig, wake up!"

Mu Mu rubbed her eyes and shouted: "Mu Mu is not a lazy pig."

Li Ye looked at Li Hongxiu, smiled, and said, "Master, please go downstairs first. I'll comb my sister's hair. I'll be back in a moment."

"Brother Mumu still wants to sleep." She looked at Li Ye and said, "Can you please let me sleep for a little longer, just for a while."

Li Ye said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Huang across the street invited us to have a big meal. Since my sister doesn't want to eat, I'll leave and you can go on to sleep." After that, he stood up.

When Mu Mu heard this, she jumped down, hugged Li Ye and said, "Brother, hurry up and comb Mu Mu's hair. I'm going to starve to death."

Li Ye took out the comb, pulled up her hair, looked at her and said, "You are not only a lazy pig. You are also a foodie. As long as there is delicious food, you will be indispensable."

Mu Mu pouted and said, "Brother, you don't like Mu Mu anymore. You would never have said that to me on Tianshan Mountain before."

Li Ye pinched the combed braid and said with a smile: "You are not so sleepy in Tianshan."

After saying that, he took her hand and left the room, heading downstairs.

Li Ye sat down next to Mu Mu and leaned against Li Hongxiu. He cupped hands with Shopkeeper Huang and Boss Xie and said, "I'm causing trouble for you two."

Boss Xie stood up and opened a jar of wine: "This is red glutinous rice wine made by people in this small town. It has been stored for ten years. Give it a try."

Before he finished speaking, the aroma of wine wafted from the table, with the sweetness of glutinous rice.

The gentleman looked at the thick, light red rice wine in the bowl and was silent for a while.

Said: "It is indeed a great blessing in life to be able to drink such a fine wine after spending money on Shopkeeper Huang! I hope we can get together again in the future!"

Shopkeeper Huang said: "There will definitely be a chance to see you again. Then I will treat you to a drink of fine wine."

Mu Mu stood up with the wine and said in a sweet voice: "My brother once said that there is no place in life where we don't meet again."

…

The golden light disappeared, Li Xiuyuan took Mumu's hand and said softly: "We meet everywhere in life. I never thought that we would not know how many years have passed since we said goodbye."

Mu Mu nodded, returning to the past moment again, which gave her an illusion.

Those distant memories that were about to disappear from her mind gradually emerged, making her sigh again. She looked at Qishang Saixue's small hand, and then looked at Li Xiuyuan's palm like a dead tree.

I couldn't help but murmured softly: "Brother has suffered a lot these years."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head. He thought about the night when Agui and others went down the mountain. It seemed that he was drunk, or maybe he had forgotten.

He closed his eyes and wanted to sleep for a while.

Mu Mu patted him gently and smiled: "I can't believe how many years have passed? My brother is actually like Mu Mu back then, he also wanted to be a little pig."

Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "Look at my place, how does it compare with Xinghua Valley? How are my parents? How are they, Mr. and Mrs.? Where is my sister? Where is Xiaoqing, Xiaobai, and Xiaoqing who went later?"

With his eyes closed, Li Xiuyuan asked a long list of questions, which made Mu Mu giggle: "Sister Yu'er will tell you these things slowly."

After speaking, she waved her hand, and a blue and white bundle appeared in her hand.

He opened it carefully, took out a box of apricot cake and placed it on the table. He picked up a piece and fed it to Li Xiuyuan's mouth.

Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then took a bite gently, and then two lines of clear tears flowed down, wetting the clothes on his chest.

After a long while, it was not until I finished eating a piece of apricot blossom cake that I said in a daze: "This is the taste I remember when I was a child, and it is also the taste of my mother."

In his opinion, neither the apricot blossom cake made by Xiaohong nor the apricot blossom cake bought by Agui from elsewhere in Fengyun City was as delicious as the one made by his mother Ye Zhiqiu.

Although he also knew that this was his childhood memory of food, he didn't know how many years had passed and he had traveled to countless places in the sky and on the earth.

What I miss deeply is still the same taste. This is also the taste of love.

When he was in a daze, the old Taoist priest went up to Yaping accompanied by Nangong Ruyu.

Looking at Li Xiuyuan who was still lying on the recliner, he laughed: "Would you like me to cook a pot of spiritual tea for you?"

Li Xiuyuan took a deep breath and said, "That's not necessary."

Nangong Ruyu came up and took Li Xiuyuan's hand and shouted: "I haven't seen you for a long time. I never thought that the master has turned Tianshan Mountain into a fairyland."

Looking at this precious disciple in front of him, Li Xiuyuan's eyes gradually softened, and he looked at the three of them and said lightly: "Fortunately, except for the long winter, other times are fine."

The old Taoist priest frowned, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Go wash up first and make tea. Master, I have something to tell you."

…

When Mu Mu and Nangong Ruyu held hands, they went to choose a stone house to live in under the cliff and tidy up the room.

When the two women were shocked at how the wooden house turned into a black stone house.

After washing up, Li Xiuyuan had already sat down at the table to boil a pot of snow water and a pot of spring tea grown on Tianshan Mountain, frowning tightly.

After learning about the shocking changes in Nanyun City from the old Taoist priest, he never imagined that he and others had encountered countless killers back then, whether in Southern Xinjiang or later when they returned to the Imperial City.

Is this guy a pig-headed person? How many years have passed since he was beaten and suffered so much, and he has forgotten it in the blink of an eye?

Just in front of Sanzhen and on the cultivated land on the outskirts of Nanyun City, the emperor encountered two assassin attacks.

If it weren't for the elixir he brought from Tianshan, the emperor wouldn't have been able to survive the trip to Nanyun City alone.

Sighing again and again, Li Xiuyuan could only smile bitterly and said: "My disciples are not immortals. I can't protect myself right now. How can I survive them?"

The old Taoist priest smiled lightly when he heard this, then reached out to pick up the teapot on the table and filled the two of them with steaming tea.

He sighed: "I'm afraid you say you have let go, but in your heart you are thinking about those old friends who are on the battlefield. When will you be able to remember them?"

After speaking, he took a piece of wood with an ancient atmosphere and placed it in front of Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan gently touched the strange-looking piece of wood in front of him with his tentacles, and couldn't help but ask: "Why did Master give me such a piece of wood? Could it be used to sharpen a wooden sword?"

The old Taoist priest shook his head gently and sighed: "If it weren't for the sake of your old age, my master would beat you violently. Do you have anything else in your heart besides the sword?"

"In the next few days, you can use this piece of wood to make a wooden bow, and then make a guqin. If you don't know how to make strings, I will take it with you to find someone to help you..."

"When my master leaves, please return the iron piano to your husband. Aren't you tired of carrying so many things with you?"

Looking at Li Xiu Wuyuan's dazed look, the old Taoist priest said: "Isn't the piano platform simple? Just compare it to this iron piano. You don't need to be a teacher to teach you bows and arrows, right?"

After saying that, he took out a small piece of dark golden animal tendon and put it on the table, and said calmly: "From now on, you can use a wooden bow, and the bowstring will be made of this sinew sword."

He had already returned the Shenlong Bow to his master Ou Yang Dongli, and now his master asked him to return the iron piano to his husband...

In Li Xiuyuan's view, the old Taoist priest wanted to help him recite each one.

What left him speechless was that even though he was still on top of Tianshan Mountain in Fengyun City, his master was worrying about his thoughts about being at the foot of Xumi Mountain.

After thinking about it again and again, Li Xiuyuan pinched the dark golden beast sinew, which was like the piece of wood in front of him and exuded an ancient atmosphere, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He asked: "Master, is it possible that this is also the muscle of a divine dragon?"

The old Taoist priest looked at him, shook his head, and said softly: "Shenlong? You underestimate him. I have almost forgotten this thing after so many years."

"What is this?" Li Xiuyuan asked unwillingly. Since the old Taoist priest gave these two things to him, they must be treasures from ancient times.

The old Taoist priest was stunned, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He replied calmly: "Of course this wooden bow is not for you to use in this world, it is Qilin tendon..."

"Kirin?!"

This time, it was Li Xiuyuan's turn to be shocked. After all, the mythical beast Qilin disappeared in ancient times, but he actually wanted to use the sinews of the mythical beast to build the wooden bow in front of him.

In this case, the wood in front of me that will be used to make wooden bows and guqin...could it be an ancient sacred tree?

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan gently touched the two ancient objects with his hands, and his whole body could not help but tremble slightly.

He said in a daze: "Master, are you going to help your disciples recite it?"
