Standing outside the tent, Izumo Michicho looked at the people who came out of the tent one by one, feeling some excited, some embarrassed, some excited and embarrassed, and from time to time he glanced down at the girls around him.

The girl stood beside her, less than half her height, her little clothes neat and neat, and her eyes wandering around, staring at the ground full of people, new things, and noises. But her face does not have the rich expression of a normal person, maybe she has not been a human for a long time, and she has not yet learned the rich expression ability of human beings, and when she encounters something surprising, at most she will open her eyes wider.

Brush it up.

The tent was lifted, and a group of Taoists walked out.

Michicho Izumo couldn't help but look at everyone's expressions.

Walking in the forefront is Brother Song Dao. This Daoist brother's expression was like that from beginning to end, as if the horror couldn't frighten him, and the disgusting couldn't disgust him, nothing special.

However, the elders and brothers of the same sect behind him looked a little different from before.

There was a little more embarrassment and embarrassment on the faces of the elders of the division, and the faces of the senior brothers were flushed, and some of them were still muttering something like "unsightly" and "what should be asked before entering".

Taoists and cats are full of curiosity.

Sanhua Niangniang leaned over, stretched her neck, and her eyes widened, peeking in through the open curtain.

The head of Izumo Michi walked up to the head of the Okaze road: "Senior brother, what's inside this tent?" ”

Ying Fengdao's face turned a little redder.

"No, nothing ......"

"Why that expression?"

"Don't ask."

"What the hell? Weird! The way you look makes me want to know even more! ”

Ying Fengdao was hesitant, but he still couldn't answer.

Even if a cultivator is free and easy, how embarrassed is he to talk about those things in front of his junior sister in these years.

I only heard the master of the Cloud Dao reprimand: "What else can there be? It's not all the unsightly stuff! Ask questions! What is there to ask? ”

"Oh......"

Michicho Izumo couldn't help but shrink his neck.

She still felt a little sick to her stomach when she thought of the things in the tent before, the foul-smelling and strangely shaped twisted human body.

Instead, Song You smiled and said to Izumo Michicho:

"The Tao is natural, why bother to be superficial."

As he spoke, he glanced at the Sanhua Niang who wanted to get in.

"Brush!"

Song You grabbed the collar behind her clothes, pulled her back, then looked at the others again, and arched his hand and said, "Fellow Daoists, it's getting late. ”

"It's time for me to go back to Qingxiaoguan."

"Then say goodbye."

"I hope there will be a period later."

"There will be a date later."

Even Sanhua Niangniang learned Song You's words, and said decently with her milk clips. If it weren't for the fact that the collar behind the clothes was being grabbed in someone's hands, I think it would be a little more formal.

The two sides did not go the same way, so they separated.

Izumo Michicho retracted his gaze, a little regretful, a little reluctant:

"It's still Brother Dao's strong determination."

The middle-aged Taoist chief was stunned, frowning and thinking for a while.

After shopping tonight, Song Daoyou is indeed much calmer than them. Not only more relaxed than the juniors, but also more relaxed than those of them who have met before. I didn't think there was anything before, but in retrospect now, it was all cultivation. The sentence "Taoism is natural, why bother to be superficial" seems to be just said to Izumo and other juniors, but it is actually to take care of the faces of these elders.

After a long time, his brow was lifted.

"Alas......"

"Why is Master sighing? Is there sorrow? ”

"It's not sorrow, it's enlightenment."

"Enlightenment what?"

"I just feel that I have been studying the Taoist scriptures and understanding the Taoism all day long, but I have forgotten the natural truth of the Taoism. In the end, it was up to Song Daoyou to understand. ”

"How?"

"Everything in this world contains the Great Dao everywhere, if you look at it with a pair of discerning eyes, there is nothing to gain everywhere. Isn't it a mistake to limit one's eyes to the Tao Sutra and only ponder the profound meaning of the Tao Sutra, while ignoring the Tao Sutra, and only superficially looking at everything in the world without thinking deeply? ”

The Taoist leaders are not stupid, they have realized before, and after saying this, their hearts are immediately clear, and then they only feel ashamed, and they are busy giving up their hands in the direction of Song You's departure.

This point, to say the least, is worth ten years of hard work.

"So what's in there?"

When Izumo Michicho put down his hand, he couldn't help but ask.

……

"It's just the desire of mortals."

"Desire?"

Sanhua Niangniang didn't quite understand this word.

"It's like the three flower girls are hungry and want to eat. When you are thirsty, you want to drink water. When I am bored and my energy is exhausted, I want to run everywhere. When I saw rats passing in front of me and insects flying in front of me, it was hard not to reach out and grab them. Song You patiently explained, "Desire is similar to these, it is a normal thing. If you can find a way to eliminate them, you will be at ease, and if you can't get rid of them, you will have all kinds of discomfort like hunger and thirst, and how to deal with your desires is the most important thing to manifest your cultivation. ”

"I don't understand."

"Then forget it."

"Isn't it fun inside?"

"Why do you ask?"

"When you came out, you seemed to be very happy."

"Sanhua Niangniang has a pair of discerning eyes."

"Isn't it fun?"

"It's the joy of harvest."

"What joy?"

Song You didn't answer, but stopped.

After saying goodbye to the elders of Fuqing Palace, I unconsciously walked back to the most lively place of the temple fair, in addition to those who played tricks and tricks during the day, and those who baked scallion pancakes, there were also more people who sang opera and songs, stepped on stilts and dragon and lion dances, and played iron flowers.

The molten iron with a high temperature of 1,600 degrees, like magma, was loaded into a cave mallet, and then the shirtless strong man hit it hard.

"Smack!"

Flying stars in the sky, broken fireflies.

Such a beautiful and shocking fireworks, it is difficult for future generations to reach fireworks.

Song You couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

After stopping in place for a long time, Tiehua put one tree after another, and then he lowered his head, touched the head of Sanhua Niangniang, who was also wide-eyed and attentive to him, and said:

"It's like seeing this silver flower fall at night, and I feel it in my heart, and I am naturally happy."

"It's like a star has fallen~"

"yes."

"Will this be tomorrow?"

"I don't know."

"Sanhua Niangniang will come to see tomorrow!"

"Okay."

"I'm going to see a monkey show!"

"Okay."

"Can you buy me some rat medicine?"

"Why?"

"I'll kill all the rats and eat them again, so I don't have to catch them myself."

"Let's talk about it."

The two figures, one big and one small, also slowly walked away.

When I returned to the courtyard, I had another joy.

The yellow plum blossoms in the yard are blooming.

When I pushed the door and entered the hospital, I only felt that the dark fragrance came at night, and it was quiet and refreshing. There are also illusory figures singing under the trees, and their voices are also faint, with a coldness like yellow plum blossoms. The two complement each other, and for a while there is a kind of pure and dusty beauty that is difficult to find in the mortal world.

Sanhua Niangniang's voice was thin:

"This flower is blooming."

Song You only looked ahead and replied in a low voice:

"yes."

"The flower is yellow."

"yes."

"You're drawing red."

"You remember."

"I'm smart."

"Yes."

"Why did you draw red?"

"Just draw it."

At this point, the ghost disappeared.

Song You had to shake his head regretfully.

The good things in the world are not long.

Then he went and brought an oil lamp, and asked him to hold the lamp and watch the flowers at night.

In fact, Huangmei is the wax plum of the previous life. The original name was Huangmei, it is said that Su Dongpo and the Yellow Valley saw that the yellow plum petals were like beeswax, so they were named wax plum. It is also said that Huang Tingjian felt that the petals of wax plum were like a woman twisting wax by hand, so he later changed the name to wax plum. In any case, it is because its petals are crystal clear and semi-transparent, like wax, which is why it has this name.

And because of its wax moon open, it is often written as plum.

Wax plum and plum blossoms are not the same, wax plum blossoms in the cold winter wax moon, often yellow, plum blossoms open in spring, mostly red, according to later generations, a wax plum family, a rose family. It is difficult for future generations to know whether the plum in the poetry of the ancients is wax plum or plum blossom, which is plum blossom and which is wax plum, Song You has not yet met a literati, if you have to meet a literati to compose poems, at least you can know one sentence.

In fact, Song You rarely saw plum blossoms in his previous life, but he often saw wax plums and often smelled the fragrance of wax plums.

The fragrance of wax plum has a deep memory for the people of the hometown in the previous life-

Gardenias in spring, yellow cypress orchids in summer, osmanthus in autumn, and wax plums in winter are the smells that can be smelled every year. Even in the city, there is no need to worry, as long as it is in season, there are many elderly people who come to the streets with baskets or carts to sell the fragrance of flowers.

The best smell is this wax plum fragrance.

It is sweet and cold, sweeter than osmanthus, not as greasy as osmanthus, refreshing and pleasant, it is the fragrance in the memory of the long term, and it is the fragrance of the hometown.

Song You was so happy that he couldn't bear to enter the house.

I can't help but pick one and pin it on the head of the three flower girls. I couldn't help but pick another one and put it on the tip of my nose to smell it. I can't help but stand under the plum tree and watch it carefully with an oil lamp. If it weren't for the inconvenience of transportation and mailing in these years, he should have broken a branch and sent it to the old way in the temple to tell his thoughts, but since it was inconvenient, he had to let it stay on the branch, and he was reluctant to fold it.

The oil lamp shines on the wax flowers, which has a unique sense of beauty.

And the deeper the night, the colder the courtyard becomes, and the wax flowers of this tree bloom one by one in the cold air, the more beautiful it becomes.

Song You was so quiet in his heart that he didn't want to leave for a while.

If someone passes by outside, you can also enjoy the fragrance in the courtyard at this moment, and if you are willing to stop, you can hear the faint sound of speech in the courtyard.

"It's getting colder, Daoist."

"Yes."

"Why don't you go to sleep."

"Reluctantly."

"Pick a sprig and look back."

"I can't bear it."

“……”

“……”

"Why don't you speak?"

"Sanhua Niangniang didn't say anything."

"Sanhua Niangniang is watching you."

"I'm looking at the flowers."

"What are you thinking?"

"Think of some old people."

"Miss your master?"

"How does Sanhua Niangniang know?"

"I'm smart."

"Nature."

Song You remembered more than just the master at this time.

This floral fragrance comes from the depths of memory, and of course it is necessary to involve something from the depths of memory, the ancients have the tradition of sending plum blossoms to tell their thoughts, but even if Song You folds down the plum blossoms, he doesn't know where to send them.

Fortunately, there are three flower girls as companions.

A lot of loneliness has been dissolved.
