The fog was heavy under the mountain, the room was damp, the cloth was as cold as iron for many years, and Song You didn't sleep very well.

I went to bed early and got up early, if the bed was comfortable, it could last a little longer, but if it was cold, I really didn't have the idea of going down again, so it was better to go up the mountain in the morning.

So I got up decisively.

When he went out, it happened that the palace master led the child to start the morning class. The children were hardworking, they had already boiled hot water, and they said goodbye to each other in the morning, and Song You simply washed up, and then respectfully thanked them and said goodbye. Originally, he wanted to give some money for food and lodging, but the palace master was unwilling, so Song You simply took it back.

This is where the difference between the Great Yan Buddhism and Taoism lies.

It is convenient to go to a Buddhist temple to spend the night, but it is also a matter of course to give money. It is more difficult to go to the Taoist palace to spend the night, but if the viewer sees you and nods, most of the time he will not charge money, and he will have to eat and drink to entertain you.

Song You is actually more accustomed to the former.

By the way, he asked the palace master how to get to Fuqing Palace, and after getting an answer, he took Sanhua Niangniang to the mountain.

All the way to the bluestone path, shallow white frost, one step is a footprint, plucking dew and cobwebs, before noon, you have found Fuqing Palace.

In these years, there was no telephone, and Song You didn't know the trick of paper cranes passing books, so he had to come to visit.

Climbing the stairs, it is already a long rhyme, lightly buckle the door knocker, and after a few moments, a small child came to open the door. Seeing that he was wearing a Taoist robe, but his face was raw, the little boy saluted respectfully.

"The Taoist Faces ......"

"In the Song Tour of Xiafulongguan, I have learned from many people and come here to visit friends."

"Dare to ask who to visit? Poor road is good to go in and report. ”

"Brother Guanghuazi." Song You said, "Daoyou just said that Song You of Fulongguan can visit." ”

"Brother Dao?"

The boy blinked.

Guanghuazi is the current palace master of Fuqing Palace, he is over sixty years old, and the people who come and go on weekdays are the main immortals of the major palaces on the mountain, all of whom are white-haired masters. Looking at the Taoist chief in front of him, he was in his early teens at most, and he actually called the palace master a Taoist brother.

Xiaodaotong's face was very tender, I was afraid that he had just entered the Taoist temple, and he had not heard the name of Fulongguan, but he didn't dare to slack off anymore, so he said wait a while, and hurriedly ran inside.

It didn't take long for the rhyme inside the door to stop.

This was followed by the deafening sound of the welcome bell.

"Knock ......"

Every time she hits, Sanhua Niangniang will tremble.

Soon, there was a chaotic and hurried footstep from inside, and when the door was opened again, there was already a group of Taoists standing in front of them.

Sanhua Niangniang raised her head and stared stunned.

I saw that Guanghuazi, who was the leader, was gray-haired, but his face was ruddy, and he didn't see wrinkles, leading a group of middle-aged Taoists to greet Song You.

"Fellow Daoist, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Brother Dao is in good health."

"A year is not as good as a year......"

Guanghuazi hurriedly welcomed Song You into the mountain gate: "Fellow Daoist, come in quickly, it's very cold on this mountain." ”

"It's a little chilly."

"There's a fire in there."

"Exactly."

Song You tried not to be polite as much as possible, and maintained the friendship that had been passed down for two or three generations.

The group walked towards the palace.

There are more than a dozen middle-aged Taoists behind him, and there are even more young ones, and the children are blocked behind them, and they can't count how many, and on the whole, it seems that Fuqing Palace is gradually prospering. Except for Xiao Tong'er, everyone else knew the name of Fulongguan, some were respectful, some were friendly, some kept peeking at Song You, and some looked at Sanhua Niangniang.

The old man didn't make a sound, and the younger one didn't dare to open his mouth, so he only listened to Guanghuazi and Song You greeting each other as they walked.

"Fellow Daoist, have you traveled here?"

"I was finally kicked out by Master." Song You said with a smile, "I happened to pass by Yidu, stay in Yidu for a while, and come to visit Brother Dao's Cave Mansion before winter." ”

"Hahaha......"

Guanghuazi laughed a few times, and suddenly sighed with emotion: "Time flies so fast." Poor Dao remembers the first time he saw Daoyou, who was still in infancy. The first time Poor Dao followed the master to Yin Yang Mountain, there were only many Dao Masters and Black Feather Dao Masters in your view, and I remember that Poor Dao was only in his twenties at that time, and how many years have passed in a blink of an eye. ”

"Time waits for no one."

"This is ......"

Guanghuazi seemed to see the Sanhua cat that had been following Song You all the time, although it was a cat, he didn't despise it.

"The three flower girls who are walking with me."

"It turned out to be Sanhua Niangniang, who is old and polite."

"Meow~"

Sanhua Niangniang stood up upright and returned the salute.

There is still a door link at the entrance of the palace.

It was written:

Kindness is the most precious treasure, and it is inexhaustible in a lifetime;

The heart is a good field, and there is more than enough cultivation for a hundred generations.

Song You stood at the door as usual and read it silently.

When you arrive in the temple, you will make tea around the hearth.

Guanghuazi called all the twenty or thirty-year-old Taoists in the Fuqing Palace over and introduced them to Song You one by one. These people will take over Fuqing Palace in the future, and Song You is the only successor of Fulongguan, and the continuation of this fate depends on the interaction of these young people.

Then he ordered people to take meat and kill chickens, catch fish and buy sheep, and pull vegetables and sell wine, which is the kiwifruit that is just ripe in the mountains, and he also called a few children to pick it.

Not to mention, these Taoist priests have good skills, and they are idle on weekdays, so I am afraid that they have worked hard in this regard.

After lunch, it was another time to sing and rhyme.

Qingchengshan's Taoist rhyme is very famous, using dialects, it is already a system of its own, and Song You also sat quietly and appreciated. It's just that Sanhua Niangniang couldn't listen to it, and fell asleep on the futon.

After appreciating the rhyme, they sat together and chatted.

Don't think that monks getting together is debating the scriptures, and Taoists getting together is discussing the Tao, that's the same as two students getting together and lecturing each other. Most of the time, I still talk like a normal person, and talk about relaxed words.

"From Yidu, how long has Daoyou been gone?"

Song You replied honestly: "I set out yesterday morning, and arrived at the foot of the mountain when it was dark in the evening. ”

Someone on the opposite side immediately said:

"Good foot strength."

Song You raised his eyes and saw that he was a Taoist he knew, a disciple of Guanghuazi, who went to Fulongguan a few years ago, and was probably one of the candidates for the next palace master of Fuqing Palace.

At this time, I heard someone say:

"Song Daoyou is the descendant of Fulongguan, and he travels more than 100 miles a day, so he is no problem."

He is also a Taoist who has been to Fulongguan.

Regardless of the age across the mountain, the cultivators themselves are also very casual, as long as there is not a big difference in age and status, they are only called Taoist friends. So even if they are Guanghuazi's disciples, they just call Song You a Taoist, and they don't have to go out of their way to be promoted to another generation.

"It's just a coincidence that I met a team of merchants on the road and took me for a ride." Song You only said the truth.

"In any case, Daoyou is also tired from this trip, I have asked Izumo to prepare the best room for Daoyou, Daoyou will rest here for a few more days." The Taoist who spoke first said.

"Senior brother is right. Taoist friends have never been to Qingcheng Mountain, so we should let us do our best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. Another Taoist also said, "I will ask the Taoist friends to stay, tomorrow I will let Ying Feng take the Taoist friends to climb this Qingcheng Mountain, the left and right are traveling, and it is not bad to enjoy the autumn scenery of Qingcheng Mountain." ”

“……”

Song You thought about it and looked at Guanghuazi.

This old man smiled, and only said something else: "Luqing Guan Guan is kind-hearted, stay in my palace guests, and we should go to Fuqing Palace to return the gift." ”

Two middle-aged Taoists immediately echoed.

Song You was a little helpless, turned to Sanhua Niangniang and asked, "What do Sanhua Niangniang think?" ”

"Sanhua Niangniang thinks it's good."

As soon as the voice came out, everyone's eyes lit up slightly.

Since there is a cultivation method, he has naturally already seen the extraordinaryness of this three-flowered cat, but he is only faintly aware of it, and he can only judge it from the details. It wasn't until this time that the three-flowered cat spoke, and everyone could be completely sure that this was indeed a little cat demon who had become a spirit. However, most of them have also seen goblins, and they are not too surprised.

Only the younger Taoist priest didn't know enough, and his eyes widened for a while.

I only heard Song You say: "Since Sanhua Niangniang also wants to stay for a few more days, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

"Good!"

Immediately, a Taoist instructed the disciples behind him to catch more fish.

A man and a cat stayed here for a while.

The guest room here is much better than last night's Luqingguan, the room is large, clean and bright, and the bedding is new. However, it is not that Lu Qingguan is snubbing Song You, it is just limited by conditions. The scale and strength of Fuqing Palace are far from being compared with Luqingguan, today is the best room in Fuqing Palace, and last night was also the best room in Luqingguan, from this point of view, there is no difference.

In the evening, two young Taoist priests came looking for them.

A trunk road, named Yingfeng.

A kun do, named Izumo.

Ying Feng is tall, gentle and polite, sunny and cheerful when he laughs, with Taoist rhyme between his words, mysterious and mysterious, he should be a genius of the Taoist scriptures, and he should please the Taoist's like.

However, Song You is a fake Taoist.

Izumo is a thin woman, with white skin and beautiful appearance, delicate facial features, and she looks even more delicate in a Taoist robe.

This kind of fate Song You is unwilling to tie up.

Each of them was a disciple of the two Dao Masters yesterday.

Song You understood the Tao here.

Obviously, those two middle-aged Taoists were strong contenders for the heir of the thriving Fuqing Palace, and they both wanted to form a relationship with Song You, which was a gentle way to enhance their competitiveness. Mitsukako knew what they were thinking and doing, but she didn't mind or stop it.

Song You didn't mind this either.

Think about it another way, Fulongguan and Fuqing Palace have been friends for decades, Fuqing Palace comes to walk around every year, if Song You is good friends with whom, who he prefers, he can show it generously, if this person really takes over this Fuqing Palace in the future, when he walks around again, he is a good person, and he is also more comfortable.

It doesn't matter if it's not this person who takes over, Song You just expressed his liking according to his temperament, and he didn't interfere in the inheritance of the position of the palace master of Fuqing Palace, and he will get along as usual in the future.

Just socializing with people makes him feel troublesome.

"Song Daoyou, tomorrow Senior Brother Ying Feng and I will take Daoyou to climb the mountain." Izumo looked at Song You as he spoke, "I am familiar with my senior brother and I on this mountain, and I will definitely be able to have a friendly and enjoyable trip." ”

"What time does Song Daoyou want to leave?"

Ying Feng asked warmly and gently.

Looking at the atmosphere of getting along, the relationship between the two is not bad, and the dispute between the masters has not affected the friendship of the same family.

"Tomorrow the weather will be bad, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to climb the mountain."

"Oh? Can Taoist friends predict celestial phenomena? ”

"It's just a guess from experience."

"Then let's see tomorrow, if the weather is good, we will come early in the morning to call Daoyou."

"Trouble two fellow Daoists."

"Where are the Taoist friends, Guiguan has been friends with our palace for generations, and this friendship should continue."

"Reasonable."

Song You sent them away.

The next day, the weather was really bad, with cold rain in the morning and wind in the evening, and fog in the middle. Song You mixed three good meals here, just in the beginning of winter, and it was perfect for cultivation in the mountains.
