The innocence on the grassland changes at will.
The weather was not bad in the early morning, and the sun was still shining in the morning. By noon, a large amount of dark clouds had accumulated in the sky in the distance. It was so dark that it seemed to be hanging above people's heads, casting large shadows on the ground. In the afternoon, strong winds had already arisen between heaven and earth, blowing the wild grass outside the city and causing loess to fly in the city.
Song You came to the city wall and looked into the distance.
The sky and the earth are vast, and strong winds come and go without hindrance. Even the rags blown up by the wind look free and unrestrained.
It’s really a scenery you can’t see in the south.
Taoist people take a look at it for a long time.
Until the voice of a calico cat came from beside me: "The clouds over there seem to be falling."
"yes."
"Why are the clouds so low here?"
"Maybe it's because the land is too vast, flat and empty, and it seems low." The Taoist withdrew his gaze from a distance, looked at the calico cat standing on the city wall and turned around to stare at him, and answered patiently, "It may also be because of the terrain and geography. The reason is that the clouds condense low. It may also be because the clouds in front are cumulonimbus clouds, which grow large and thick, with high tops and low bottoms."
The calico cat stared straight at him, with clear stupidity in its eyes:
"Can't understand……"
"It's normal for Sanhua Empress not to understand. No matter how smart a person is, it's hard to understand something they don't understand the first time. The same goes for cats." Song You retracted his gaze and looked into the distance, "Sanhua Hua Empress only needs to know that she has seen a different scenery again."
“A different scenery~”
"yes."
"Cumulonimbus~"
"yes."
"Will it fall off?"
"When it falls, it turns into rain and snow."
"Why not Maomao?"
"I want to ask too."
"Why……"
Sanhua Empress asked a lot of why.
Song You answered patiently while looking into the distance.
In the shadows cast by the clouds, the demons' attack seemed to be brewing.
Until there was a muffled sound——
"Boom!"
There was a muffled thunder in the distance.
If it were a demon who had just attained enlightenment, or an evil creature who had just been born, he would probably be scared to death just by hearing this sound.
Only then did Song You look away and said to Empress Sanhua:
"It's going to rain, let's go back."
"oh……"
The cat then jumped off the city wall and followed behind him.
As soon as I walked back, the rain started falling.
Heavy drops of rain hit the military town thousands of miles away from Changjing, making a crackling sound. When the wind and rain come, there will be no shelter for the vegetation, the sky and the earth will be dark, and you will get wet even standing under the eaves.
"Boom!"
Thunders sounded one after another, lighting up the darkened world.
Song You borrowed a book from Commander Zhang and sat by the window, holding the book and reading patiently while waiting. His mind sank into it, and the sound of wind and rain seemed to disappear.
It's raining really hard.
In less than half an hour, the ground was flooded with water. An hour later, the roof of the old house was broken by wind and rain. The military academy who came and went for repairs was braving the rain and shouting outside the house.
Fortunately, although Yuanji City is not on a mountain or a low place, the houses have also been raised. The water level just reached the threshold and flooded the road outside half a leg deep. It has maintained this height and has not risen again. Even when the rain is light, the water outside It quickly flowed away and exposed the ground.
Song You still reads with peace of mind.
Sanhua Empress was playing with her new little flag in the house, sometimes practicing calligraphy, sometimes turning into a cat, going to the window to watch the rain and the people coming and going outside.
Three days passed quickly.
"Tuk tuk..."
There was a knock on the door.
Song You put down the book in his hand and opened the door to take a look. Standing outside was a primary school student, wearing a raincoat and with muddy feet.
"Mr. Song, the military advisor is here to invite you!"
"Hold on!"
Song You turned back into the house, took out his umbrella, and followed him out without hesitation: "Please lead the way."
It rained for three days and the rain became lighter.
The streets outside are full of wet mud and footprints.
One person and one cat followed the primary school hurriedly, and soon arrived in the room again.
There were still about a dozen generals lying in the room. General Chen, Commander Zhang, Jiang Dadu and several other advisers and generals were all there. They all looked like they had just arrived. They were probably concerned but wanted to see the magic.
There was also a table placed next to everyone, and a large box was placed on the table.
The big box is not too big and can be held by one person. It is simple, exquisite and has a lot of aura.
"Mr. Song is here?"
As soon as Commander Zhang saw Song You coming in, he quickly said: "The small box has come back, but we haven't opened it yet. We are waiting for Mr. Song to come."
"open it."
Song You said as soon as he came in.
"okay!"
Jiang Dadu immediately opened the big box.
Inside was a small box about a foot long and a palm wide, like a box used by wealthy people to store gold and silver.
Then open the small box.
Inside was an envelope and a large bamboo tube. Inside the bamboo tube were many black seeds, which looked similar to pumpkin seeds.
"gentlemen……"
Jiang Dadu looked at Song You.
"..."
Song You remained silent and picked up the envelope.
Just pinch it and it's very thin.
"Thank you..."
Song You said sincerely to Jiang Dadu, put the envelope in his arms, then reached into the small box, grabbed a handful of seeds, took a look, and put the rest back, leaving only One.
Then he turned and looked at the standing generals: "Can any general dig a hole in the ground for me?"
"I'm coming!"
Immediately, a general with a sword shouted, and with a swipe, he pulled out the sword in his hand. On the ground where the loess was tamped, he inserted the sword into the ground with only a slight exertion.
If you pry again, it will be a pit.
"Thank you."
I saw the Taoist casually throwing the seeds in.
The general filled the soil back knowingly.
Song You picked up the teapot next to him, poured some water on the ground, and then said to the ground:
"Can immortals understand human language?
"If you understand people's words, you will grow quickly."
Under the gaze of everyone, something magical happened - there was a little more black in the loess. In the blink of an eye, the black bit broke away from the loess, revealing green buds.
The seeds that had just been thrown away had now taken root and broke out of the ground with the original black seed shells. After a while, the seed shells fell off, and the delicate leaves underneath suddenly unfolded.
The seedlings also grow taller quickly.
This plant seemed to have infinite vitality. It grew rapidly without any urging from Song You or Song You's casting of spells.
Everyone present was amazed.
After about one stick of incense, there was a seedling vine about half a man tall in the room. It was very green, like a pea seedling, with blue-purple flowers blooming on it.
"Can immortals understand human language?"
Song You said this, pointing to the general lying next to him: "If you understand people's words, you can take the magic from this person."
Everyone has opened their eyes.
The small soldier guarding the door couldn't help but poke his head in to take a look.
Even the general lying next to him couldn't help but turn his head and stare closely at the seedling vine that was half a man tall next to him.
This is something that can only be heard from storytellers or stories in the past, but now it is actually happening before our eyes. How can it not be tempting?
The seedlings swayed for a while, and in a short period of time, the flowers withered and withered, but there was a fruit as big as a pea underneath. Then the fruit slowly grew, and the process was visible to the naked eye. Amid everyone's exclamations, it took about another stick of incense for the fruit to grow to the size of a watermelon, dark and oval, with faint lines visible on it.
"oops!"
A shout from Commander Zhang sounded nearby.
Everyone turned their heads following the shouting, and then they realized that their eyes had just been fixed on the melon vines growing on the ground in the house and the growing fruits, including the general, but everyone including the The general himself didn't notice that as the fruit grew and matured, the bulge on his vest had disappeared.
Except for a little red mark left, it is almost as good as before.
But even this little red mark quickly disappeared in everyone's eyes.
Looking at the melon vine again, the leaves are dry and shrunk one by one, and the melon base is dry and hard, and it seems to be mature.
"This is really amazing!"
"Amazing!"
"Immortal magic!"
"General Luo, the bag on your back is gone. Quickly touch it to see if it still hurts?"
General Luo subconsciously touched it with his backhand.
Well, it's too strong to touch.
Immediately, a general who was close to him stepped over and carefully touched his vest. Both of them made a sound of surprise. Then the standing general laughed and slapped him on the back with a snap.
It's actually as good as ever.
But I just heard the Taoist in front say:
"It still needs to be chopped off."
Then a general was invited to chop the melon.
It was almost completely filled with water, dark red in color, and smelly.
The lying general recovered completely and even stood up.
Everyone was extremely excited for a moment.
"There are too many generals who have been bewitched. If the next person comes, I'm afraid they won't be able to finish it in a few days. Fortunately, this immortal species can understand human speech. As long as he knows the spell, mortals can also make it effective." Song You waited until they had finished quarreling and then said, "The incantation is just like what I recited before. Sow the seeds, cover them with soil, pour some water and recite the previous incantation to make it grow. But I only recited one sentence, but you all have a moment. Just keep reciting it until it blooms. Then recite the second part of the incantation to make it take the magic spell and bear fruit. You have to keep reciting it until the melon and fruit are ripe, then chop them off with a knife."
"I'll note it down later."
Song You glanced at the small box again.
There are about three hundred seeds.
The starlings in the view have some obsessive-compulsive disorder, and they probably have three hundred grains.
"If you have more, you need to return it to me."
"must!"
"I'll go back first."
"Sir, walk slowly..."
Song You bowed his hands to everyone, then took the letter and returned to his residence.
After sitting down at the table, the calico cat couldn't wait to jump on the table. Song You ignored her and just opened the envelope and took out the letter paper.
There is only a piece of paper inside.
Write just a few sentences.
It's not like writing with a brush, but like writing with feathers dipped in ink. The handwriting is very ordinary, and it's also written in vernacular——
I have received both letters. Master wrote you a reply last time, but said he would give it to you next time. Everything is fine with Master and I. Don’t think about it outside.
There is no doubt that it was written by the old myna in the temple.
"Master" was called by Bago in Song You's tone.
Song You was not disappointed.
This was what he had expected.
