Song You didn't send him away until the afternoon.
My Sanhua Empress has already started studying upstairs.
Song You walked upstairs slowly, but the stairs still creaked.
The little girl was sitting in front of the desk where he usually sat, her feet swinging back and forth quickly. The strange thing was that her upper body was upright, and the contrast between the two halves was huge.
On the table were several pieces of paper with writing on them, and a sand tray. She was holding a willow branch and copying the words on the paper carefully.
At this time, the top one is a cat character.
"Cat..."
While copying, I read quietly.
After writing once, you have to stop, look at the words on the paper carefully, and then look at the words you wrote on the sand table, go back and forth several times, and stare at it for a long time each time, and compare it carefully. Then I used a piece of bamboo to smooth the sand on the square wooden sand table, and wrote it again more carefully, trying to be accurate.
Song You's footsteps stopped behind her.
The girl's ears twitched but she ignored it.
Taoist felt that this picture was very beautiful, not inferior to the scenery of Yunding Mountain, not inferior to the palace at dusk and the trend of the times. He couldn't help but stand behind her and watch quietly.
I wrote it several times and changed a piece of paper.
"Dog..."
"Horse..."
The little girl still wrote it over and over again as before, as if she didn't notice the passage of time.
The Taoist didn't even notice.
"chicken……"
The Taoist's heartbeat stopped.
The little girl seemed to notice something was wrong with him, and turned her head to look at him strangely before continuing with her study plan.
But after studying for a while, she realized that her quota for studying today had been used up.
So he pretended to be casual, stretched out his two small hands, and at the same time leaned his body back, raised his head high and even leaned back. He glanced at the Taoist priest behind him from this angle, and then put down the willow branch. He stood up and left the bench without forgetting to say something to him——
"Miss Sanhua, I will learn a little bit of this today."
"..."
Song You showed a smile.
"call……"
There was a burst of green smoke, and the little girl transformed into a cat. She stood on the ground and stretched again, but her eyes were directed at the Taoist: "When will you teach Empress Sanhua that spell?"
"Miss Sanhua just finished studying and should take a rest."
"Miss Sanhua, you are not tired."
"I want to take a break."
"Taoist priests are not tired either."
"Oh well."
Song You smiled with a hint of helplessness, so he had no choice but to sit down on the bed next to him and said, "This spell is not a difficult one. Many Taoist priests and jugglers in Taoist temples can do it."
"!"
The calico cat immediately sat down and looked at him seriously.
"Miss Sanhua, do you still remember? We went to the lantern festival last night, and there was a juggler selling palace lanterns."
"do not remember."
"That's it. It's so long, with a pointed end and a small lantern hanging on the other end with an iron rope." Song You gestured at a length that was about the same length as his palm. "It's used by older women to penetrate it." It was on my hair, so I took Sanhua Empress to look at it for a while, and Sanhua Empress asked me why I put it in my hair."
"I remembered."
A single strand is a hairpin, and a double strand is a hairpin. If it moves when walking, it is called a step shake.
The palace lantern is just a hairpin connected to an ornament similar to a palace lantern. It is exquisitely made and swaying when walking, but it is not very precious. The only special thing is that the magician selling palace lanterns last night had some little skills. Every time he sold a hairpin, he just muttered a few words and blew into it, and it was no bigger than a quail egg. The palace lantern decorations lit up.
Last night was the Lantern Festival, and there were many noble people in Changjing, who were curious about things. This charlatan knew how to do business. He just sold an ordinary copper hairpin for the price of gold and silver.
"The man who sells palace lanterns knows this kind of magic, which is called lantern lighting."
"Lamplighting."
"As for this spell, it is best if it is inherited from Taoism. If the person from the Jianghu last night was not a Taoist priest, he was someone who has sincerely worshiped True Lord Huoyang for generations." Song You said to her, "If you want to use this spell , you must know the full name of True Lord Huoyang in advance, sincerely communicate with the gods, state your name, and use a little spiritual power as a guide, maybe the lantern will light up."
"Is it possible?"
"If you are sincere, use less spiritual power and it will be easier. If you are not so sincere, use more spiritual power and it will be more difficult."
"The full name and title of True Lord Huoyang?"
"Hongyuan Haode, the Five Elements Supreme Fire Sun Divine Power True Lord."
"Hong Yuan Haode, Five Elements Supreme Fire Sun Divine Might True Monarch..." Sanhua Cat muttered, raised her head and stared at him, and then said, "But Sanhua Empress is not a Taoist priest."
"Although Empress Sanhua is not a Taoist priest, how can Zhenjun Huoyang know?"
"Ms. Sanhua can't lie!"
"Of course! Sanhua Empress has always been honest, so of course she can't lie!" Song You paused, "But who said this is lying?"
"Meow?"
The calico cat was stunned by Song You.
I had no choice but to continue to stare at him.
"Empress Sanhua is not a Taoist priest of Fulong Temple, and it is hard to say that she is a Taoist priest of Fulong Temple. However, Empress Sanhua has become attached to me and traveled around the world with me. She will probably follow me back to Fulong Temple in the future, right?"
"most!"
"When I returned to Fulong Temple, my master must have died long ago. I am the master of such a large Taoist temple. I will build a small temple for Sanhua Empress next to it..." Song You paused, "Of course. It’s not that we want Sanhua Empress to turn back into the cat god, but we are Taoist priests, and Taoist priests originally live in temples. I live in the big temple, and Sanhua Empress lives in the small temple. Isn’t there a problem?”
"Yes……"
"So the Sanhua Empress said that she is the Sanhua Empress in the Mao'er Temple next to Fulong Temple in Yinyang Mountain, Lingquan County, Yizhou. Is it correct?"
"correct……"
"So when Sanhua Empress casts the spell, please be sincere and ask Hongyuan Haode, Five Elements Supreme Fire and Yang Shenwei Zhenjun, to tell him that she is Sanhua Empress from the Mao'er Temple next to Fulong Temple in Yinyang Mountain, Lingquan County, Yizhou, and ask Huoyang Zhenwei to Please borrow some firelight to light your own lantern." Song You said to her, "Sanhua Empress already has some Taoist practices and majors in fire magic. She is already close to True Monarch Huoyang. In addition, Sanhua Empress His nature is simple, smart and cute, and True Lord Huoyang will definitely like him, and speaking of it, True Lord Huoyang might also know one of our founders at Fulong Temple, so I think he will probably succeed."
"Most likely it will succeed!"
"But before that, out of politeness, I will take Sanhua Empress to offer three sticks of incense to True Lord Huoyang, so that he will know that Sanhua Empress wants to borrow fire from him."
"OK!"
"Then we'll use the grass scent we made ourselves."
"OK!"
After a while.
There was a bowl on the desk with a bowl of rice in it. Empress Sanhua took a few sticks of incense, exhaled, lit them, then inserted them into the bowl and stood up easily.
Two voices sounded in the room.
When Song You said something, she would follow suit. She had an excellent attitude and learned very well, like a well-behaved student.
"Please accept the request from the True Lord."
"Please, the true Lord, agree!"
A gust of wind blew in, but there was no chill.
On the contrary, it seemed to be a little warmer.
"call……"
The three grass incense sticks on the table suddenly burned out at an extremely fast speed and turned into a burst of green smoke, which floated straight upwards, but disappeared out of thin air before it reached half of the roof.
"Well?"
Mao'er turned to look at the Taoist.
"Sanhua Empress has also been a cat god, so she naturally knows that this means True Lord Huoyang has agreed." Song You said to Sanhua Empress, "From now on, Sanhua Empress only has to do what I said before, and use With a little bit of spiritual power as a guide, you can borrow candlelight from True Lord Huoyang. If it happens more times in the future, maybe you can do it without spiritual power. Or maybe in the future, Empress Sanhua herself will become more advanced, so she won’t need to borrow candlelight from True Lord Huoyang. You can borrow candlelight from me and light a little flame yourself. You don't have to worry about it, and it can burn all night long."
"Hongyuan Haode, Five Elements Supreme Fire and Yang Divine Power True Lord, I am the Empress of the Three Flowers of the Mao'er Temple next to Fulong Temple in Yinyang Mountain, Lingquan County, Yizhou. Please lend me some firelight to light the lantern."
The calico cat cooed and stared straight at the pony lantern hanging next to it.
"..."
In silence, there was a little more firelight in the lantern.
It looked like there was a candle burning inside, and it was almost impossible to see clearly without looking carefully during the day.
"Congratulations to Empress Sanhua."
"..."
The calico cat turned to stare at him, but ignored him. Instead, she brushed her face and turned into a human form. She held her lantern and looked at it carefully, immersed in her own world.
Yes, cats have their own things to do.
Of course Song You also has it.
At this time, the weather has gradually become cooler, especially after the autumnal equinox, when it becomes colder and becomes a bit chillier.
It's time to make the sausage bacon.
So Song You said something to Empress Sanhua and went out.
There is a butcher in Xicheng who sells the best pigs. The best black pigs are all castrated. He sometimes sells beef. But it is already afternoon, so I don’t know if he can still buy it.
Song You went over and turned around.
Thanks to the prosperity of Changjing, I also bought good meat in the afternoon, but recently everyone has started preparing cured meats, so the price of meat is slightly higher than usual.
Start cleaning up when you get back.
Taoists have been doing these things in Taoist temples since they were young, and now they can be considered proficient in doing them.
I was just doing it when I suddenly felt something was wrong.
I don't know when there was a little follower behind him. He also had to hold a lantern in his hand in broad daylight. He stood a little behind him, raising his head and staring at his movements without blinking.
Song You rubbed the meat with salt, and she watched Song You rub the meat with salt. Song You turned around to get the salt, and she immediately followed him with small steps, staring at Song You. If she couldn't see due to her height, she would stand on tiptoes, as if she wanted to see clearly how much he had taken. When Song You took it back, she hurriedly followed him back, as if she didn't want to miss any move.
Song You stopped to look at her.
She blinked and looked at Song You, her eyes full of intelligence and thinking, and then asked: "That's it, the meat can be stored for a long time without bugs growing on it, right?"
"..."
Song You was silent for a moment and did not answer.
I have a bad feeling for no reason.
…
Hongyuan Haode, Five Elements Supreme Fire Yang Divine Power True Lord, please give me your monthly vote!
