Good rain knows the season, when spring happens.

After the rumble, Li Bai didn't know if the upcoming spring rain was good, anyway, he only knew that his originally planned trip seemed to be delayed?

Because, in this era, there are no cars to go out, and if you ride a horse in the rain, both people and horses are a little unbearable, unless it is necessary or the matter is very urgent, no one wants to go forward in the rain, especially in this kind of cold spring.

So......

Li Bai originally wanted to go back to rest early and then get up early tomorrow, but when he heard the spring thunder roaring, saw the dark clouds rolling in the night sky, and knew that a continuous spring rain was about to fall soon, he could only smack his lips, dispelled the original idea of going back to sleep, and continued to wander around in this Buddhist hall with only a dim oil lamp.

“……”

The light in the hall was not bright, but Li Bai, who was deaf and clear-sighted, quickly saw everything around him clearly.

Although the temple is very rudimentary and looks like it has been 'looted', and there is nothing but a Buddha statue and a somewhat decaying offering table, some inconvenient things still exist here, such as the lifelike frescoes of figures and animals on the east and west walls?

He saw that the mural on the east side depicted the scene of the goddess scattering flowers, and a lady with long hair and shawl was holding flowers, smiling, looking forward to it, and her lips were about to open, as if she wanted to pour out her heart to Li Bai who was watching the painting......

However, this kind of woman who can't help but secretly send Qiubo when she sees that it is a man, even if it is a goddess immortal, where can he Li Bai look at it?

So, he didn't pay attention to the other party, and he didn't care about the strange feeling that the other party wanted to call him into the painting, but shook his head disdainfully, and walked straight to the west wall of the main hall, and admired the mural on the west side.

"Huh?"

Soon, Li Bai found that the mural here on the west side was much more interesting than the picture of the lady with a watery poplar on the east side!

"Old Zen Master!"

"I don't know what the scene is depicted on the mural here...... And what are the allusions? ”

Li Bai saw that the picture on the mural on the west side was very different from the picture of the 'Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers' on the east side who were fairies and flowers and the picture of the monk's sayings.

For example: a monster with a tiger body, eight legs, eight tails, and eight heads; A monster with a body like a beast, a face like a man, ears like a dog, and a green snake hanging from each earlobe; and strange birds with yellow skin, red skin, six legs and four wings, and of course, many strange-looking non-human populations and many foxes...... Of course, the one that attracted Li Bai's attention the most was the one who was snow-white, with only a touch of blood red on his forehead, and red eyes, which looked like a magical fox with three eyes, four legs, and nine tails!

"Amitabha!"

"Master Li, what is depicted in that picture is Qingqiu Country!"

——————

"Qingqiu Country?"

"It is the one written in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that 'its yang is more jade, and its yin is more green. There is a beast, its shape is like a fox and nine tails, its sound is like a baby, it can eat people, and the eater is not Gu. 'And the Qingqiu Kingdom where the Tushan clan lived in the later period? ”

"Good, good, Master Li is really knowledgeable."

"It's that Qingqiu Country!"

After answering Li Bai's question, the old monk didn't take it seriously, so he walked to the mural on the west side, and then pointed to the mural on the top and introduced Li Bai to all kinds of strange stories about the Qingqiu country that he knew in the Buddhist scriptures.

Legend......

When the ancient Dayu ruled the water, he came to the north of the Junzi Kingdom and arrived in the Qingqiu Kingdom.

And to this country, you need to pass through the Valley of the Rising Sun, where the water god Wu with a tiger body, eight legs, eight tails, and eight heads live, and then it is Qingqiu Country!

The people of Qingqiu also grow grains and weave silk, but this country also produces a kind of fox with four legs and nine tails, which has spirituality and is also called the sky fox.

Whenever the world is peaceful, they appear in the world to show the auspiciousness of the world! It is said that before Dayu married his wife in Tushan, the nine-tailed divine fox he met came from this Qingqiu.

The land of Qingqiu is rich in products and spring, and it is not only inhabited by the people of the gods, but also by a variety of youkai races. Of course, there are also a small number of human beings living in the rolling hills.

It was a very different world from the mortal world......

There, there are no fixed laws, whether it is monsters, gods, or humans, they are all separated by the rules of each race, although there is a small killing, but it is only limited to the feud between tribes, and it has never affected other residents living here.

In Qingqiu country, the strong are respected, and the strong are often right in everything, which is a truth that every resident living here understands, and it is a treaty that must be obeyed and must be observed.

In the Qingqiu Kingdom, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has an absolute status, and no race dares to despise the Nine-Tailed Clan, even those powerful gods left over from ancient times.

At this time, the white fox that Li Bai was looking at and deliberately asking was the sky fox of the Nine-Tails clan!

"That's ...... so"

"Then the old Zen master, is it the 'Qingqiu Country' that hides Qingqiu here, if you want to go, how to go?"

Li Bai was aroused, turned around and looked at the beautiful nine-tailed divine fox on the mural again, as if he really wanted to go to the country of Qingqiu?

Although he has long known that this is a mythical world, with all kinds of magical and supernatural things, such as those demons and gods and so on, but for so many years, he has been in the Tang Dynasty (or Da Zhou?). Living in the border, most of the people I see on weekdays are ordinary people, and the demons and monsters I encounter are very few compared to people, and the immortal heavenly soldiers have only encountered them twice, so for the people who live in the gods, and at the same time, there are all kinds of monster races that flourish, and even the country of Qingqiu, where humans live in it, it is very desirable.

"Good, good!"

"Master Li, where is the entrance to Qingqiu Country, people also have different opinions, there is no conclusion, Lao Wei is just a traveling monk, where do you know how to go to Qingqiu Country?"

"But ......"

"Lao Wei has also heard a lot of sayings, and has seen a lot of Buddhist scriptures, some people say, it is an invisible door, after passing through it is 'Qingqiu'? Some people also say that Qingqiu Country is located in a certain cave blessed land underground, and it cannot be reached unless you are destined! Some people even say that you can only reach it if you enter a dream realm beyond this world? ”

"But who knows what the truth is?"

"Maybe...... The entrance to the country of green hills is not necessarily inside this temple? ”

"Amitabha!!"

After speaking, the old monk sang a Buddha horn loudly, waking Li Bai up from that infinite yearning and longing.

"Ahh

"I see......"

Li Bai frowned, and he didn't notice what the old monk said just now, because, when he just looked at the eyes of the nine-tailed divine fox, he was faintly touched by it, and then those eyes seemed to move, and the fox seemed to come to life, winking at him playfully, as if he wanted to speak to himself?

However, before he could get closer and listen carefully, he was awakened by the old monk.

"Master Li!"

"It's getting late, the old man is going to bring the lights back to the meditation room, and the donor will go back to rest early, right?"

Maybe the money Li Bai gave just now was too little, so the old monk was a little impatient at this time, and went directly to the offering table, directly picked up the dim oil lamp, and began to drive people away.

"This ......"

"Okay!"

Although Li Bai wanted to say that it was still early, but seeing that the other party was about to take away the oil lamp, he couldn't continue to stay here, so he had to look up at the mural on the west side again in confusion, then frowned, and walked out behind the old monk.

And behind the two of them, the nine-tailed divine fox on the mural is still the same as before, and there is no change at all......
