Chapter 28: Qingcheng Mountain Seeks the Dead

There are 100 miles to Qingcheng Mountain.

The traffic on the edge of the city of Yizhou is developed, and there are many roads, and there is also an official road to Qingcheng Mountain.

In the previous life, this distance can be reached in less than an hour, and in this year, no matter how good the foot strength is, it is difficult to walk it in one day. It is convenient for pedestrians to have official roads, otherwise it will take more time to find and fight the mountain roads.

If you want to arrive early, you have to leave early.

Song You has already begun to pack his bags.

Then there was another knock at the door.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

Song You went to open the door again, and it was Luo Zhutou standing outside.

"I've seen you, sir."

Song You was a little surprised and looked down.

"Team leader, this is ......"

"The persimmons in my hometown are ripe, and yesterday I asked someone to bring some here, and they don't look good, but they are very sweet. However, I brought more of them, and my family couldn't finish eating, so I brought them over to my husband to taste. Luo Zhutou carried a bamboo basket in his hand, which contained lantern-like persimmons, "It's not too much, you can taste it, sir, don't be too little." ”

This headcatcher is also a talker.

How embarrassed Song You was.

So he took the bamboo basket, picked out the small lanterns one by one, and placed them on the stone table.

Let Sanhua Niangniang get close and sniff and sniff, Song You handed the empty bamboo basket back to Luo Zhutou, thought about it and said, "Thank you Luo Zhutou, but Song still has something I want to ask Zhutou to help." ”

"Sir, but it doesn't hurt to say!"

"Yesterday, I was fortunate to have a relationship with Yu Zhizhou in Vashe, Zhizhou gave both ink strips and felt, but it was disrespectful, ashamed of it, thinking about it, Song wanted to give Zhizhou a painting as a return gift. However, Song rushed to Qingchengshan to visit the old man of the master, but it was inconvenient to go. I remember that the team leader had to pass by the Zhizhou Mansion every day at work, so I wanted to ask the team leader to make it convenient and take it along the way. ”

"Yu Zhizhou!"

Luo Zhutou was immediately taken aback.

That's a governor of a state, a feudal official.

Yizhou is also a big state in Dayan, not only the jurisdiction is equivalent to two or three ordinary states, but also economically wealthy, culturally it is even more prosperous, Yizhou Zhizhou is a little heavier than other prefectures.

But Yu Zhizhou is more than that.

Yu Zhizhou is very famous, and his reputation is not small, but he came to Yizhou to serve as Zhizhou this time, but he was actually demoted. Compared with such big names, he is just a small head catcher, and he is still a family heirloom, even if he is only familiar with each other, I am afraid there are many benefits.

What kind of help is this?

It is clearly a blessing from the husband.

"I will bring it by all means!"

Luo Zhutou hurriedly reached out and took the scroll.

What's on the way to work? This is specially going!

"Thank you, team leader."

"Thank you, sir."

Luo Zhutou carefully took the paper roll and went out.

Song You stood at the door of the room, looking at the back of Luo Zhutou's departure, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought and didn't move.

It seems that there are more and more involvements.

Song You didn't want to have too much to do with people, but it's hard to say why. Unexpectedly, after living in the city for two or three months, although the deep residence is simple, the involvement with people is getting deeper and deeper, as if it is unavoidable.

Just today, please ask Luo Zhutou to help-

Song You didn't want to do this, and he didn't want to do it, which is really contradictory. And this contradiction is worth savoring and pondering.

If you think about it, there is only one answer.

Maybe that's not the right idea.

This walking down the mountain is to involve people, or in other words, part of its meaning comes from this.

"Daoist, are you dead?"

"Not yet."

"Oh."

Sanhua Niangniang looked at him for a long time and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why?"

"Sanhua Niangniang sees that you don't move."

"I'm just thinking."

"Think."

"Let's go too."

"Let's go, too."

“……”

Song You still had some distracting thoughts in his heart, but he also took his bags and letters, took Sanhua Niangniang, and walked out of the city.

The more you think about it, the more you make sense.

After mastery, the whole body is refreshed.

Only then did I find out that I don't know who planted osmanthus flowers, and half of the city was fragrant.

It's not a long way to go.

If you want to say that this Qingcheng Mountain, it is really a famous Taoist mountain in Yizhou and even the entire southwest of Dayan. However, Qingcheng Mountain is very large, and very famous, many hermits have come to the mountain to repair the palace or hut, although the Tao or cultivation of these hermits is also high and low, the vast majority of them are neither cultivated nor Taoist, only simply love the Qing cultivators of this way, but there are indeed many palace views on this mountain.

From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, it is said that there are dozens of large and small palaces.

However, what Song You wants to visit is not the largest, most famous, and oldest ones, but the Fuqing Palace on the back mountainside.

As soon as you hear the name, you know that most of them are serious Taoist temples.

Fu, Qing, and Ah are all commonly used words in Taoist names, such as Fulongguan, which sounds like a name that has no Taoist rhyme, but is not mainstream. This kind of palace view, if it is not too old, has already taken the name before these naming habits have been conventional, it is not serious.

Fulongguan accounted for both.

It's old, and it's not serious.

Fuqing Palace was associated with Fulongguan in the generation of Song You's ancestors. At that time, the ancestor was the same as the current Song You, who traveled all over the world, and just after leaving the mountain gate, he met the later palace master of Fuqing Palace. After the master came back from his trip to take over Fulongguan, the palace master of Fuqing Palace would visit Fulongguan almost every year, and often bring his disciples and protégés to exchange cultivation experiences and ask for magic mysteries.

When the palace master died, it was his disciple who came.

This fate has been preserved to Song You's master's generation, and then to Song You's generation. At least for now, he still remembers Fuqing Palace, and Fuqing Palace also comes every year, and fate has not disappeared.

That's why I was able to get them to help carry the letter.

Although there is a postal system, it is not open to the common people, and it is difficult to deliver letters, and sometimes a letter can really be worth 10,000 dollars.

However, Song You never came to Fuqing Palace.

You have to walk slowly and ask someone for directions.

Fortunately, Song You was very patient, and even better was accompanied by Sanhua Niangniang, so every step on the road was very clear, and the memory was deep and meaningful in my mind.

Halfway through, better things happen one after another.

First, an old man drove an ox cart, and when he saw him walking alone, he took him for a ride along the way.

The ox cart pulled vegetables into the city in the morning, and he was already tired, the owner was merciful, and the empty car on the return trip was also slow, probably about the same speed as Song You's own walking, but fortunately, he saved some effort.

Soon after saying goodbye to the old man, he met another caravan, which ran much faster than the ox cart, and saw that he was wearing a Taoist robe, and after stopping to ask, he took him for a ride.

I actually arrived at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain at night.

However, at this time, he couldn't go up the mountain for a long time, so Song You had to find a palace at the bottom of the mountain, take out the degree to show his identity, be respectful, and make his intentions clear. The viewer left him in the guest room for one night, and in the evening he untied the bacon and made a good meal with him, but the bragging and drinking during the meal made it difficult for him to cope.

……

Yidu City, the residence of Zhizhou.

Yu Zhizhou stood with his hands behind his back in front of a freshly framed and hung painting.

The content of the painting is very simple -

A few strokes of the trunk and branches, no head and tail, a few points of cinnabar sprinkled casually to make red plums, on the tree is a cat outlined in ink, very freehand, there is nothing else.

Yu Zhizhou is an elegant person, and he is also quite accomplished in Danqing, in his opinion, this painting is not only simple, but the skills are also mediocre, but somehow, I always feel that there is an inexplicable charm. The simple outline of the faint cat is so vivid and vivid.

The more you look at it, the more vivid it becomes.

After watching it for a long time, sometimes in a trance, it seems that the cat is moving, or turning its head and blinking, or looking up to enjoy the flowers, and taking a closer look, it is no different from before.

This painting is very charming.

What's more, it was a gift from the gentleman.

So Yu Zhizhou asked people to frame it in the afternoon and hang it in the room.

Something wonderful happened.

After the cold dew and frost fell, seeing that winter was about to begin, not only the people in the city were anxious, but also the rats in the house were also very anxious, often jumping up and down at home, making the night jingle and noisy. It's just that he, the Zhizhou, can manage the people in the city, but he can't control the little creatures who live in the Zhizhou Mansion with him, and he also has a headache.

When I hung this painting, it was a quiet night.

There was no sound at all.

Yu Zhizhou thought that he had slept well and didn't hear it, but he asked the person next to the pillow and asked the next person, but they all said that it was clean last night, like the rats and gentlemen took a collective bath.

Yu Zhizhou was even more secretly surprised.

The Chinese division of that dynasty may not have this ability.
