The oil lamp in the room swayed, and the wick was scorched red.

Sanhua Niangniang was pacing on the wooden table, and she didn't know what to do, so she suddenly sat down at the table, and her tail naturally wrapped her little feet, and said to Song You:

"Daoist, it's so cold when you're cultivating today."

Song You was not surprised, the kitten always wanted to do a play, do whatever he wanted, say whatever he wanted, and only replied in a low voice: "Because it absorbs the spiritual rhyme of winter Tibet, there is calmness." ”

"What's that?"

"It's a long story."

"Hmm......"

Sanhua Cat lowered her head and licked her body, without meaning to listen, but said: "Sanhua Niangniang only needs to spit it out by herself." ”

"It's not as good as Sanhua Niangniang."

"Are you fixing fast?"

"Some people are fast, some people are slow, even me, sometimes fast and sometimes slow." Song You said, "Originally, in the Taoist temple, the practice was decent, but after going down the mountain, the world was open, and it was a thousand miles a day. ”

"Why?"

"It's subtle. However, Sanhua Niangniang is a demon and a non-human, so there is no need to learn these, just spit in as usual. ”

"Got it."

Song You smiled.

Maybe it's because he's been a human being in two lives, or maybe it's something else, that he's become less and less fond of complex things, and more and more like simple things. Although all the Taoist masters in this Fuqing Palace are very friendly, he still finds it easier and more interesting to talk to Sanhua Niangniang in comparison. Even if the words are not nutritious.

"Sanhua Niangniang."

"Huh?"

The three-flowered cat was licking its fur, and suddenly raised its head when it heard the words.

"How about we go back the day after tomorrow?"

"You decide."

"Since you and I are walking together, such a big matter still has to be discussed with Sanhua Niangniang."

"The day after tomorrow ......"

"Yes."

"Hmm......"

Sanhua Cat stared at Song You for a long time before saying, "You don't seem to like them very much." ”

"Why do you say that?"

"There's meat here every day, and you don't like it."

"I just don't think it's fun to play with them than with Sanhua Niangniang." Song You shook his head, "Besides, you can't eat other people's meat every day." ”

"yes."

"How?"

"Then we'll go back tomorrow!"

The three-flowered cat immediately spoke out, very decisively.

"That's not good."

"Why?"

"Tomorrow I'm going to help others solve Taoist problems, this is the reward for others entertaining us for a few days."

"yes......"

The three-flowered cat was thoughtful.

"Sleep."

Song You blew out the oil lamp, scattering the lamps like stars.

Early the next morning, Izumo and Ying Feng came to look for Song You again, and tried their best to entertain him, but after all, there was no fate from decades ago, and it was not that it was bad to get along so forcibly, but it was difficult to form a friendship in a short period of time like that of decades ago.

Song You only solved the problems for the Taoist leaders, and in the evening he expressed to Guanghuazi the idea of returning tomorrow.

Let everyone keep him, and he will not waver.

However, Izumo and Ying Feng admired him a lot, and probably worshiped him as a human immortal in their hearts, and wanted to follow him and travel the world with him, but he only said that they had no chance.

Another day later, Song You went down the mountain in the dark early in the morning.

The bright moon shines on me, and I only walk with cats.

From the early morning to dusk, when the sun sets, it is not far from Yidu, Song You thought about it, it is already winter at this time, and it is cold to spend the night in the cold, so it is better to take advantage of the moonlight to take another trip, so he walked back to Yidu in one breath. Coincidentally, they entered the city just before the gates closed at night. As soon as I returned to the courtyard, the sound of a small song started, and my heart was safe.

……

The weather in Yidu is getting colder and colder.

Song You is also very idle every day, in addition to often going to Wazi to listen to books, most of the time he roasts the fire at home, practices, chats with cats, and lives a life where the brook firewood is soft and warm, and I don't go out with the raccoon slaves.

Occasionally, people come to ask for a paper talisman, or a consecrated amulet or something. Song You doesn't have the objects of enlightenment, but the talisman is also a matter of drawing a stroke, he is responsive, and he can more or less exchange some money to buy meat for Sanhua Niangniang.

Sometimes I also go out for a walk, look at the Yidu City in winter, see people brave the cold to find life, wear single clothes in a hurry, see the weather is cold and the veil falls clean, but there are also a lot of gains.

In the courtyard, yellow plums gradually sprouted.

Song You often watched it under the tree, and he didn't know when it would open, but when he got close and sniffed it, he could already smell the fragrance.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

There was another knock at the door in the courtyard.

Song You opened the door and saw that it was Luo Zhutou outside.

In the cold winter of Layue, Luo Zhutou is still wearing a soapy coat and soap boots, but the inside is thicker, his cheeks are red from the wind, he is holding a small fish in his hand, and he uses river rattan to string his cheeks:

"I've seen you, sir."

"Isn't the head of the squad cold?"

"People who practice martial arts are not cold when they move around non-stop."

"Come in, please."

Luo Zhutou followed Song You into the yard, and closed the door with his backhand, he was already very familiar with it, and said while walking: "My wife and brother are so idle, and recently I have been hooked on fishing, and I went fishing for a long time today, and when I came back, it was so cold that I hit the pendulum, but I only caught such a small fish, not two fingers wide, and I dared to say that we will cook soup and drink it when I take it back, haha, I will simply take it and dedicate it to Sanhua Niangniang." ”

"You have a heart."

"Sanhua Niangniang ......"

Luo Zhutou said as he took off the river vine, and did not throw the small fish on the ground, but put it on a clean stone table.

Originally, he came to visit Mr. in the courtyard and would not bring gifts to Mr. Sanhua Niangniang, only to bring some things to Mr. One day, by chance, he came to Mr. to ask about the ghost, and suddenly saw a little girl carved in the courtyard of Mr., but he had never seen a girl in Mr. before. After coming a few times one after another, sometimes I can see cats, sometimes I can see girls, I don't see girls when I see cats, and I can't see Sanhua Niangniang when I see girls.

I have been a head catcher in Yidu for many years, and I have encountered things about demons and ghosts, and I have also dealt with cases of animals becoming sperm. To be honest, it's not so mysterious, these beasts are just more intelligent, and being able to speak is already terrifying, without the ability to turn into a human form in the story, under the hands of the martial arts, a knife can still be hacked to death, at most it will beg for mercy in various ways when it is cut.

It's the first time he's seen a demon who can transform into shapes.

Luo Zhutou was surprised for a while, and took it for granted.

I was surprised that there was a demon in my own house on the other side, and I hadn't found it for so long. But after thinking about it, it seems very common for her to appear next to a master like Mr.

In which story did the master not have a virgin who was not a mortal and became a fine mount?

Naturally, the gentleman should have one.

Since then, every time he comes, he will bring some gifts to Sanhua Niangniang, and Sanhua Niangniang will ensure that his house is free of rats and rice.

Seeing that the three-flowered cat had already eaten, Luo Zhutou looked at it for a while, and then turned his head and said to Song You: "Sir, in a few days it will be the temple fair of Yuewang Temple." ”

"How many days?"

"Three days, the third day of the new year."

"Ah......h

Song You suddenly realized that it was already Layue.

"There are already a lot of people at Yuewang Temple now, but it is not until after the third day of the junior high school that it is the most lively." Luo Zhutou said, "What do you want to buy, sir?" This temple market is mixed, do you need to be a guide for Mr. There is also a group of people under the command who can be a coolie for the gentleman. ”

"We'll see."

"If you need it, you can knock on the door."

"Then I'll thank the team first."

"Sir is gracious."

After chatting for a while, he sent Luo Zhutou away.

Song You already had a smile on his face.

The temple fair is also called the temple market, the cause is that the religious gathering crowd, especially in the major festivals or special religious festivals, there will be a large number of believers gathered here, there is business where there are people, in this era of traffic congestion and inconvenient shopping, people have the need to purchase, so some people began to set up stalls in the temple fair promotion. More and more merchants gathered, and more and more customers came, forming a virtuous circle, and later the temple fair was no longer limited to pilgrims, but became a large shopping festival, which became one of the most lively festivals of the year.

In fact, there are large and small temple fairs.

Small temple fairs will also come to nearby villages or people from the same county, and large temple fairs can be amazing, and the most exaggerated influence can radiate to several states. It is difficult for later generations to imagine that some people spend half a month across thousands of miles, just to get a stick of incense, go to the temple fair for a few days, and then go back for half a month.

During this period, some people can increase their knowledge, some people can make a lot of money, some people can make lifelong friends, some people can meet beautiful women or Lang Jun, and some people come to walk alone and have their money stolen.

The temple fair of Yuewang Temple is the most influential temple fair in Yizhou, although it cannot radiate several states, but there will be people in remote places in the state, and some tricksters and merchants from outside the state will also arrive.

And the reason why it is set on the third day of the lunar month is because the third day of the lunar month is the rumored birthday of King Yue Shenjun. Temple fairs of this scale are no longer limited to Yuewang Temple, but only start at this time, usually delayed for a few days to complete this grand ceremony.

Song You has been looking forward to this temple fair for a long time.

I went out for a walk, and sure enough, as Luo Zhutou said, there are already many merchants and tricksters who have arrived in Yidu today, and they have gathered in the streets and alleys near Yuewang Temple.

Sanhua Niangniang saw the excitement on his face, but she was a little puzzled by this:

"Daoist, is the temple fair fun?"

"I don't know."

Song You replied and added:

"Hope it's interesting."

"You seem to like the temple fair."

"It's very lively." Song You said to Sanhua Cat, "Have you seen the lively scene in Sanhua Niangniang?" ”

"It's a lot of buzz in the city."

"No ......"

Song You shook his head, no matter how large the population of Dayan is, and how prosperous Yidu City is, it can be limited by this era, maybe the residents in the city are not as many as the people gathered under the landmark buildings of the provincial capital during the New Year's Eve in later generations, and it may not be as good as the number of visitors to the popular tourist attractions during the Golden Week in one day, only this temple fair is really lively.

It was the grandest fireworks of this era.

It is also comparable to the liveliness of later generations.

Song You's eyes flickered, but he didn't explain to Sanhua Niangniang, but said: "There are many things that are not usually seen at the temple fair, such as strange people who can play tricks, strange flowers and plants, rare birds and beasts, we can not only go to see the excitement for a few days, but also buy a lot of delicious food, well, buy a horse and mule." ”

"Buying a horse?"

"yes."

"We? Buying a horse? ”

"What's wrong?"

"We're going to buy horses?"

"Buy a horse, maybe a mule." Song You said to her, "I can travel the world in the future." ”

"Good!!"

Sanhua Niangniang's eyes are shining.

Song You stared at her again and again, a little puzzled.

The cat seemed to be particularly excited.
