There is no wind in the mountain col, the lake is as calm as a mirror, the cold smoke rises, and the boat does not move in the lake. Sitting on the boat was an old man, holding a bamboo pole and his fishing line sank into the water without making any ripples.
Suddenly there was some movement on the water surface.
Song You stopped by the lake, and just as he raised his hand to salute, he saw a gust of wind blowing by, and the water smoke moved with the wind. Then there was a crackling sound on the lake surface, and an ice road actually formed, leading directly to the boat.
Song You put down his hand again and stepped forward.
The ice floe is unstable and often shakes, but it does not crack or sink. When walking, there are only circles of ripples in the water.
The ice mirror was also destroyed.
As Song You walked, he looked back at the calico cat. He saw that although the calico cat was worried and doubted the solidity of the ice, it tiptoed and followed him, and he was relieved.
When he walked to the boat, he saluted again.
"In Lingquan County, Yizhou, at Fulong Temple in Yin Yang Mountain, a descendant traveled to the Song Dynasty and saw the Snake Immortal."
"Please step into the boat."
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
Only then did Song You take Mao'er onto the boat.
The boat suddenly rocked, creating ripples. Along with the creaking of the boat and the subtle splash of water, there was finally some movement in this seemingly still world.
"puff……"
There was a splash of water.
The old man also raised the fishing rod in his hand, and a small whitebait, only two fingers wide, was hooked on the line.
The small whitebait enters the bucket and makes a sound.
"sit down."
The old man turned around with a very ordinary face, smiled at him and said, "I thought you would come in the autumn."
"The last time I came here, I felt that this mountain is vast and must be beautiful when the snow falls, so I waited until winter." Song You could only tell from the tone of the Snake Fairy that this Snake Fairy already knew that he was Fu. As a descendant of Longguan, the last time he helped him was because of Fulongguan. What the National Master said about the old relationship between the Snake Immortal and the ancestor of Fulongguan must be true.
In this case, he is considered an elder.
It is natural to respect your elders.
So Song You bowed respectfully and continued: "I heard that it snowed on Beiqin Mountain, so I came here. When I arrived at Beiqin Mountain last night, I wanted to visit Divine Doctor Cai first, and then visit Senior Snake Immortal, but Divine Doctor Cai seemed very I haven’t been at home for a long time. I camped outside the door for one night and then came directly to visit the Snake Fairy. I should first thank the Snake Fairy for his help last time.”
"Divine Doctor Cai..."
"I heard that Snake Fairy knew Doctor Cai?"
"know."
The snake fairy threw the fishhook into the water again: "That man is good, he has great medical skills and noble moral character. He often goes into the mountains to collect medicine. Sometimes he is attacked by poisonous insects and beasts, so I protect him."
"I've also heard that Doctor Cai has excellent medical skills and even has methods that make people in the world marvel and fear. He also has very noble moral character. I admire and am curious about him, so I want to see his style." Song You sat down behind the boat. He lowered his hand and touched the back of the calico cat, "But I haven't met him twice since I came here. Maybe I just missed it."
"He went north. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a few years."
"Going north?"
"Yes, the war in the north has just ended, monsters are everywhere, epidemics are harming people, and people are in need of help." The snake fairy said without looking back, "When he left, he came to say to me, thank you for taking care of me for many years, and also thanked me for taking care of you for many years. He said that he didn’t know if he would be able to come back.”
"I see."
Song You narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking.
The snake fairy on the boat continued to ask:
"How is your master?"
"He was still in good health when he left."
"The five elements spiritual method is not good at extending life."
"yes."
"Is the pine tree still there at the entrance of Fulongguan?"
"It's already an old pine tree."
"As long as you're still here."
"Has Master come to visit the Snake Immortal before?" Song You asked.
"Since I settled here, every generation of Fulongguan descendants has come to see me as long as they arrive in Changjing." The snake fairy stopped his rod again, put a new small fish into the bucket, turned around and took aim Taking a look at the cat squatting upright next to the young Taoist, his eyes flickered, "I have seen him for several generations over the years."
"I heard someone say that the Snake Immortal has an old relationship with my Master Guan?"
"I am a good friend of Taoist Fuyang. I already had some Taoist practices when I met him, but I didn't know how to practice. It was only after his guidance that I truly opened up my great wisdom. So I followed him, helped him slay gods and demons, and established the foundation of Dayan. Then I followed him back to Fulongguan, and I planted that pine tree with my own hands." Snake Fairy shook his head as he spoke, and his tone was quite emotional. Thinking that for him, that was already a matter of his youth, "Later he helped When Taoist Yang died, there was no need for me to stay in Fulongguan anymore, so I returned here and lived a leisurely life every day. Occasionally I showed up, and when the villagers at the foot of the mountain saw me, they respected me as the Snake Immortal. "
"Is this the place where the snake fairy transforms?"
"nature."
Song You remembered the Fuyang Taoist.
He was the one who helped Taizu Dayan restore peace in the troubled times in the late years of the former dynasty and the early years of Dayan. After establishing his empire, he returned to Fulong Temple, which was quite special among the many masters.
When most masters walked around the world, the world was generally peaceful, so they walked around the world, looking at the mountains and rivers to slay demons and eliminate demons. Unlike him, the world was in chaos when he came down from the mountain. He simply killed gods and demons for more than ten years, and waited for the world to be restored. Taiping has ended his travel journey.
"about there."
The Snake Fairy looked at the fish in the bucket.
"Let's go back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the boat started to move.
A series of ripples streaked across the water.
The two of them and the cat got off the boat. Song You and Sanhua Empress followed Snake Fairy and walked towards the hut.
"The mountains are clean but boring. I usually walk around in the mountains to look at the scenery and clouds. This is only a place where I stay when I am fishing. There is nothing else to entertain you."
"Senior Snake Immortal is living a leisurely life."
"Snake Immortal is just an honorific title from the world." Snake Immortal said lightly, "I have heard of your deeds. You are very capable, so there is no need to call me that."
"If you live in the mountains, you don't remember the year. If you look at the clouds, you will be an immortal."
"If you look at the clouds, you will be an immortal."
Two people and one cat went into the hut, made tea and talked.
The two of them talked about the monsters hiding in Changjing, the imperial masters and immortality, the divine doctor Cai and the troubled times in the north, and the founder of Fulongguan. They only ate dried fruits, grilled fish and grapefruits on the stove. Before they knew it, most of the day had passed. They were talking very happily, and the cat was already bored.
The snake fairy invited him to stay here at night, so Song You took out his luggage and fell asleep in the hut.
It was very cold in the mountains, and it snowed again at night. Fortunately, there were cats to keep warm.
Late at night, I know the snow is heavy, and I hear the sound of breaking bamboo.
Early the next morning, Song You woke up and pushed open the door made of wood. However, he did not go out immediately. Instead, he waited for the snow above his head to fall. After it had fallen, he stepped out.
The Snake Fairy was already fishing on the lake again.
Song You saw that he was holding a fishing rod and there was another one beside the boat, so he stepped onto the boat in the same way as yesterday. After looking at the wooden barrel next to him, there were only three small fish in it. After bowing to the Snake Fairy, Song You picked up another fishing rod, sat with him, and went boating on the lake, fishing and chatting.
"When will my little fellow Taoist leave Changjing?"
"Leave as soon as spring comes."
"Is there anything gained in Changjing?"
"Achieve a lot."
"Where are we going this time?"
"He was hesitant and undecided."
"oh?"
“I want to go north, but I also want to go south.”
Both of their voices were very low, as if they were afraid of disturbing the fish swimming under the water.
The fishing rod in Snake Fairy's hand remained motionless, and his expression was calm: "Do you want to go south to Fengzhou Ye Mountain?"
"Snake Immortal also knows about Fengzhou?"
"As I get older, I can no longer cultivate. I am free all day long, so I naturally know more." Snake Immortal said with a smile, and then said to him, "Ye Shan is originally a plan of the national master and the emperor. You must have known it for a long time, but If you are still anxious to see it, do you have doubts in your heart?"
"seeing is believing."
"My little Taoist friend is alert."
"Please give me some advice, senior."
"I don't know what's going on. I just know that what the Imperial Master is planning is not simple." The Snake Fairy had already raised his pole and caught another small fish. He said, "Going north is a human matter. The people are suffering and the lives are in ruins. Go north. South is a matter of the underworld. The way of heaven changes and ghosts live in peace. It is really difficult to choose which direction to go to first."
"What does Snake Immortal think the Imperial Master is planning?"
"In short, it is not a human matter, nor can you see results in a year or two."
"It's not a human thing..."
This is roughly equivalent to what Song You knew.
Snake Fairy threw the hook into the lake again, and the two continued fishing and talked quietly. By noon, Snake Fairy caught seven or eight fish, including a big fish. Song You's skills were not good, and even he I don’t know why I didn’t do as well as the Snake Fairy, but I only caught one.
In the afternoon, he said goodbye and left.
There was a heavy wind and snow in the mountains, and the snowflakes seemed to move sideways. Song You walked back along the path taken by the snake fairy when he came, one foot deep and one foot shallow. The calico cat was almost walking through the snow.
However, as soon as I climbed up the mountain, I heard someone's voice in front of me, mixed with the sound of howling wind and snow.
"Mr. Sir, it's windy and snowy, and the mountains and forests are deep. Let's go back and come back another day."
"We're almost here, how can we return it?"
"That's just what the hunters in the mountains said. Maybe it's just to get the reward from my husband. How can we take it seriously? We have entered the Beiqin Mountain here. Going further in, if there is a heavy snowfall, there are still some people in the mountain forest who are not hibernating. The wild beast is so hungry that it may be difficult for a villain to take my husband out."
"Since there is a snake road, how can you easily get lost? If you follow it, you will definitely find the snake fairy."
"well……"
"There seems to be someone in front."
"who?"
The two of them also saw the Taoist in the wind and snow in the woods.
But most of the calico cat's body had sunk into the snow, with almost only half of its head exposed and staring at them, so they couldn't see it.
"He is a Taoist."
"Call sir."
"My lord, there are often demons and ghosts in the mountains that deceive people, especially on this windy and snowy day. My lord, please don't believe them gullibly."
"Where are the monsters and ghosts in Beiqin Mountain of Snake Immortal? Don't worry, let me go and have a look."
A middle-aged man in a thick robe braved the wind and snow and walked forward with a smile on his face and asked Song Xian: "I am Yu Su, who lives in Changjing and came to the mountains to visit the snake fairy. I met Mr. and found it very clever. I wonder where sir came from and where are you going?"
