While the mountain people were shocked and discussing, perhaps no one could have imagined that the god they suspected, the master who was not the evil god last night, was at the top of another mountain across the distance, enjoying a pot of delicious food with Tong'er. Food that does not belong to this era.
"Taoist! You lied!"
"Um?"
"You lied!"
"when?"
"yesterday!"
"What time was it yesterday?"
"You and those who offered incense! You lied!"
The little girl was holding a piece of chicken in her hands, but it was the piece with the crutch. It was a big rooster born and raised in the country for several years. This piece of chicken was strong and strong. She grabbed the crutch with both hands and pulled it forward, biting it with her teeth. Pulling in the opposite direction, it took a lot of effort. When the crutches were broken, the whole upper body of the person leaned back violently, and his head shook for a while:
"Miss Sanhua heard it!"
"When Sanhua Empress speaks, she must swallow the contents of her mouth first before speaking."
"oh……"
Sanhua Empress followed the good deeds and followed them honestly.
It's just that the ribs are tough and hard and elastic when chewed. Fortunately, it is not simply laborious and tasteless. Instead, it tastes full of the aroma of local chicken meat. As long as your teeth are good, the more you chew, the more delicious it will be.
Sanhua Empress is not a wasteful cat either.
So he spent a lot of time chewing it up, swallowing it in one gulp, and then continued to look up at the Taoist and said:
"Miss Sanhua heard it!"
"It can't be transferred..."
Song You shook his head helplessly and sighed, but he was not in a hurry and asked: "It was a temporary measure with good intentions, how can it be called lying?"
"Well?"
"It's like Sanhua Empress." Song You put down his chopsticks and said slowly, "When we were eating just now, I heard Sanhua Empress bragging about the scene of her outsmarting the mountain god in the temple. It was very impressive, but in the process, Sanhua Empress Didn’t Hua Empress also say a few harmless and untrue words?”
"Blow up?"
"that's not important……"
"Harmless untrue words..."
The little girl repeated, staring at him seriously.
"Exactly."
Song You admitted without any psychological burden, and then continued: "Can this also be called lying? Does this make Sanhua Empress a lying and dishonest cat?"
"Meow?"
"Of course not. It's just a method that Sanhua Empress usually uses to catch mice. Last night she was just to get rid of harm for the people and kill evil gods. But in normal interactions with others, Sanhua Empress doesn't know how to use it. These methods." Song You said to her, "So Sanhua Empress remains honest, and so do I."
"!"
The little girl's eyes suddenly opened wide again.
What a great Taoist priest! Such a complicated truth was explained clearly in one go!
Empress Sanhua held the chicken bones and was shocked.
"I'm stuffed……"
Song You put down the bowl and stood up, wiped his mouth, looked down at the half-eaten big pot, thought for a while and said: "Sanhua Empress, please put the pot here after you finish eating. You can have another meal at noon." , wash it after eating, and then take it down the mountain and return it to its original owner. I didn’t sleep last night and I’m a little sleepy. Let’s get some sleep first.”
"OK!"
The top of the mountain is quiet and deserted, the wind is gentle and the clouds are light.
Song You took out the blanket from his quilt bag and spread it on the ground. He didn't need a blanket, so he lay down on it, using his arms as a pillow, and his eyes were filled with the sky.
The sky is always beautiful.
The white clouds are like smoke, faintly blue, and the blue sky that shines through seems to have no bottom and cannot be looked directly at. If you keep staring at it, you will feel that it is like a bottomless abyss, with a fatal attraction. No matter how long your gaze travels, it will never reach the end. So while feeling vast, you also feel sorry for yourself. is so small that it is inevitable to feel fear and palpitations.
Fortunately, this is harmless.
Song You liked to look at the sky very much.
"Suddenly..."
Swallows flew across the sky lightly.
The little girl next to me seemed to have finished eating, and she could be heard clearing away the dishes.
Song You stared at the sky for a while longer. When the sounds around him calmed down and he turned his head to look, he saw Empress Sanhua squatting alone in front of a clump of withered stipa grass. Her small body huddled up into a ball and became smaller than the clump. The stipa grass was not much taller, but without saying a word, she really used the stipa grass threads as hair and was seriously braiding them.
Knowing that Song You was sleeping and resting, she entertained herself.
Song You ignored her, put his head back, and stopped looking at the sky. He casually reached out and grabbed two grass leaves, covered his eyes, and fell asleep.
Maybe this is also a kind of magical day.
…
When he opened his eyes again, it was already mid-afternoon.
At this time, on the top of the mountain that was one or two feet square, except for the Stipa that was pressed under the felt and used as a pillow, all the Stipa that could be seen had been braided, but there was no girl.
"..."
Song You sat up and climbed up again, and walked to the edge of the earth bag at the top of the mountain. Sure enough, he saw that the stipa grass on the slope was also braided, so he walked around the edge of the earth bag. After walking only half a circle, he found himself in the braid. At the dividing line with the original Stipa, I saw a little girl sitting with her legs sideways and huddled in a ball - she was braiding the hair of a new Stipa plant, seriously, as if she was tireless.
"Empress Sanhua." Song You shouted.
"Empress Sanhua." Song You shouted.
"Hmm! Taoist priest, are you awake?" The little girl immediately raised her head and looked at him expressionlessly.
"What is Sanhua Empress doing?"
"Miss Sanhua is braiding their hair!" The little girl's face was still expressionless and fair, but she answered quickly and honestly.
"Why isn't Sanhua Empress sleeping?"
"Because half of the chicken we cooked is still uneaten. There are too many thieves on the mountain. I'm afraid they will steal our meat while we are sleeping." After the little girl finished speaking, she looked down and it seemed that half a day had passed. Her proficiency in braiding skills has increased a lot, and the movements of her hands have not stopped at all. She only glanced at this, then raised her head and continued to stare at the Taoist priest, "Besides, Empress Sanhua looks at you like She likes braiding Sanhua’s hair very much, so she also plays with it herself.”
"Is it fun?"
"have no idea……"
"Isn't Sanhua Empress sleepy?"
"Ms. Sanhua can sleep on the horse's back later."
"Thanks for your hard work……"
Song You shook his head and sighed.
It’s not good for a cat to be too sensible.
Then he rekindled the fire and added a little more water to the pot to dilute the salty taste of the long-cooked turkey. After he heated up the remaining half of the pot of firewood turkey, all the withered or semi-yellow turkey on the top of the hill was covered. Stipa also already has its own hairstyle.
Thanks to this big red rooster, one person and one cat had another delicious meal.
Then Song You used some words to persuade Sanhua Empress to give up her thoughts of washing pots and dishes, so that she turned into a cat and went back to sleep in the saddlebags on the horse, while he took the pots and bowls down the mountain to find the spring. I washed the dishes and put them into my quilt bag, washed the iron pot, and replenished my drinking water. I also took out a face wash handkerchief and toothpick chips, and took advantage of the cool mountain spring to tidy up my personal hygiene.
"Taoist priest~"
The calico cat poked its head out of the robe and stared at him in confusion: "Where are we going?"
"Going further, we will reach Yangzhou."
"Yangzhou?"
"Yes."
"The fox is in Yangzhou?"
"..."
Song You took a mouthful of mountain spring water, spit it out, picked up the handkerchief to get the water to wet himself, and at the same time replied: "There are no foxes waiting for us in Yangzhou now. But I heard the Anle God last night said that the original country The master consecrated five gods in Yangzhou and the surrounding areas to search for heavenly materials and earthly treasures for him. Listening to Anle Shen’s words at that time, I don’t know whether these five were not good people, or whether he thought that the national master would I will silence everyone related to this, and I decided to pay them a visit anyway.”
"Do you know where they are?"
"have no idea."
"Then how do you find it?"
"..."
Song You twisted the washkerchief, shook it off, and turned towards the horse. The washkerchief was not made of good material and had been used for too long. There was a hole in it, but through this hole, he could reach the horse's back. Empress Sanhua, who poked her head out, looked at each other and said, "The imperial court decreed that the gods be granted the title of Earth God. It is recorded by the government and the local palaces and temples. You will know after you go there."
"You are so smart."
"No better than Sanhua Empress."
"There's a hole in your veil."
"It's just one, it can be used for a while." Song You is also a nostalgic person. Looking at this handkerchief, there is always a sense that it is not only full of his own scent, but also the lines on the handkerchief. Since the holes seemed to fit well with my face, I couldn't bear to part with them, "Let's go to Yangzhou and buy new ones."
“Go to Yangzhou to buy new ones!”
"Wow..."
Song You once again wrung out the water on the handkerchief and turned to look at the confused calico cat. When she reacted and was about to retract her head, he took the lead and pressed the handkerchief to her face.
"Ms. Sanhua needs to wash her face before going to bed."
While talking, he rubbed and rubbed randomly.
"Okay, go to sleep."
Song You retracted his hand with satisfaction, rubbed the handkerchief again, then put it away, picked up the pot and started on the road.
There are people living under this mountain.
Yesterday, Song You went to several houses at the foot of the mountain to inquire about the God of Peace, and he picked an old man who was easy to talk to and borrowed the big pot.
The old man probably saw that he had a kind face, was gentle and polite in his speech, and that he was a Taoist and asked about the evil god, so he decisively lent him the pot. The small sling of money was paid by Song You to reassure him, so that the old man would not think I broke a pot to get rid of the evil spirit, and I was so distressed that I couldn't sleep.
Now that the chicken was finished and the pot was useless, Song You naturally took it down the mountain and returned it to the old man. He got back his small fortune and gave him a few coins for rent.
That's all for now.
Then he took the horse and walked leisurely and jingling along the official road in the mountains into the distance.
A few dozen miles further is Yangzhou.
Yangzhou is the number one state in the world.
In terms of prosperity and wealth, it surpasses Angzhou, where Changjing is located. In terms of cultural heritage, even if the culture of Yizhou in this dynasty was very prosperous, it still had to be second to Yangzhou.
As soon as he arrived in the first county, he already showed some signs of it.
