As the night wore on, the oil lamps moved into the house.

Song You sat in front of the table and bowed his head to write, and the three-flowered cat lay on the edge of the window, leaning his face close to the middle of the window, looking at the sky outside through the narrow gap.

While watching, he talked to the Taoist priest behind him, and he didn't look back.

"Why do you want to explode that during the New Year?"

"Fireworks?"

"That's right."

"Beautiful."

"yes."

"It's simple."

"Is it only once a year?"

"Of course."

"It would be nice to be able to pass it twice."

"How did Sanhua Niangniang spend the New Year before?"

"In the temple."

"How's it going?"

"In the temple."

Song You didn't feel annoyed or helpless, he just continued to write, the pen rope swayed, and at the same time, he was patient and continued to ask without raising his head: "What's the difference from usual?" ”

"Eat a lot of meat and catch a lot of rats."

"Do you want to catch it during the New Year?"

"That's right."

"Hard."

"A little."

Song You couldn't help but look up at her.

The kitten's eyes were wide open and round, aimed at the slit, and the fireworks outside the window were very sparse, but she was reluctant to blink.

It's an honest poor cat.

But this is the case in these years, even in peaceful and prosperous times, the brilliance of fireworks only belongs to a few people.

Chinese New Year's Eve also belongs to only a few.

If you don't believe it, listen to it -

The wind and rain are scattered in the dead of night, and the lamp is especially called for selling rice balls.

……

The second year of Mingde, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

After eating the rice balls, Song You walked along the street, and came to the North Wazi and Yunshuo Shed.

Xu is because of the first day of the Lunar New Year, even if Song You came early, the Yunshuo Shed was almost full, and this time he could only sit in an ordinary position with ordinary money.

Order a pot of tea as usual and sit down and taste it slowly.

I only heard Mr. Zhang cough twice, and then started again.

"The New Year is auspicious.

"As mentioned earlier, Chen Ziyi's strange army went around and went straight to Ayanqi's lair, and Saibei had to send someone to ask for peace, cut the land and pay compensation, and call me a vassal, and this battle ended with my Dayan winning! If you want to say that in addition to Marshal Ma's good use of people in this battle, who is the biggest hero, Chen Ziyi should not let go! ”

Song You sat with tea and listened quietly.

Today is the last of the Battle of Lanshui.

Exactly, there is a head and a tail.

It's only two quarters of an hour at a time, but it can't last an afternoon.

"The story of General Chen Ziyi is here for the time being, the general is still guarding in the north, so scared that the people of Saibei do not dare to go south to herd horses, and his legend continues! Tomorrow, let's talk about the romance of gods and ghosts, the little second child is rain or shine, the fee is not expensive, and he can earn money to support his family, and the princes are comfortable listening and hope to continue to cheer! ”

That's the end of the story.

I saw Mr. Zhang pick up the tea bowl and take a sip of tea without hurrying, and then he looked at the guest officers in the audience: "There is still some time in the afternoon, so I will tell some scattered stories with the princes, if the princes have something they want to hear, or if they have not heard it before, and they want to listen to it again, it can also be said, as long as everyone is willing to listen, the old man will talk about it." ”

Someone below immediately shouted, saying that they wanted to hear about Master Guanghong of Tai'an Temple last autumn.

As soon as the voice came out, there was a chorus of echoes.

"Good!

The old man told the old man what he knew, and if there was anything wrong, please correct it.

"Ahem!"

The old gentleman cleared his throat and resumed his speech.

I only heard the old gentleman talk about the thief in the retreat, and even from the experience of the thief before he committed the theft, and finally talked about Master Guanghong, said that he met a young descendant in the temple, said that he repented of spontaneous combustion in front of the Buddha, and said that Luo Zhutou solved the case, and then Yi was shocked.

Song You was drinking tea below, still listening quietly.

Don't look at him as an important participant in the case of Master Guanghong, what he knows is really not as detailed as the old man, plus the old man is very skillful, the words are exquisite, the sentence structure is wonderful, and the feelings are abundant, when it comes to the things stolen by the thieves and the rare treasures found in Tai'an Temple, the mouth is a passage, when it comes to Master Guanghong's repentance and begging for mercy, the tone is learned vividly, and when it comes to the Yamen trap out, even the footsteps have to be simulated with ventriloquism, creating a sense of tension, The whole process is as if I have already written a draft and practiced it before, and it is smooth and exciting.

This gentleman is really very level.

Song You listened to him for half a year, and every time he didn't talk much, he had to talk for half a day, and he spoke clearly from beginning to end, full of energy, and his voice was loud, even if it was noisy below, he could hear what he said clearly.

You can't fake it these days, you have to rely on real hard work.

After speaking about Master Guanghong, everyone below was deeply attracted by the wonderful Taoism and the miraculous story, and began to ask questions.

Someone asked who the young offspring was.

Someone asked where I could learn the Dao.

Someone asked where there were immortals.

The old gentleman was good at this, knew a lot, and answered them one by one according to what he knew, and gradually talked farther and farther, telling more and more mysterious and magical stories and legends.

It is rumored that the Yunding Immortal Mountain in Pingzhou is shrouded in clouds and mist all day long, the bottom of the mountain does not see the top, the top of the mountain does not see the bottom, a mountain has four seasons, and some people have seen the gods on the top of the mountain.

It is rumored that there is a place in the north of Yuezhou that is full of green tung trees, each tree has thousands of years of years, towering into the clouds, if it is the summer solstice and winter solstice, you may see the phoenix flying over, combing the feathers on the green tung tree.

It is also said that there is an insurmountable mountain in the southernmost part of Yunzhou, and there is a paradise through the high mountain, where someone has seen a real dragon.

Let's talk about the wonders of the rivers and lakes, the Chinese division of the dynasty, the immortals and wild gods in the north, the witchcraft and poison in the south, the world of demons in the deep mountains, the halls of ghosts under the feet, the illusory cities that often haunt, and the earth fire village where the flames have burned for thousands of years and have not been extinguished.

Song You's interest became stronger and stronger.

When it was finally time to end, the old gentleman's mouth was dry, and he drank water from a teacup, but he didn't leave, but watched the guest officials leave, and the rules of traditional artists were not lost at all.

Song You sat for a while before stepping forward to give a salute.

"Ouch!"

The old gentleman was not slacking off because he was young, and hurriedly returned the salute and bowed a little deeper than him.

"The guest officer is a regular customer!"

"Yes." Song You nodded and said, "Since I came to Yidu half a year ago, I have come to listen to Zhang Gong's lectures every day, and I am rarely absent. ”

"Thanks to the love of the guest officer."

"It's Zhang Gong who spoke well."

"Guest officer, this is ......"

"I am a mountain man in Lingquan County, Ben Humble County, traveled down the mountain, passed through Yidu, lived here for half a year, and now it is spring, and the weather is getting warmer, it is time to leave." Song You saluted the old gentleman in front of him again, "I'm here to say goodbye to Gong Zhang." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare ......"

The old gentleman hurriedly bowed down, and then bowed to him: "I just wish Mr. a smooth journey." ”

"Thank you, Gong Zhang."

"Don't dare, don't dare ......"

"It's just that I don't know what Zhang Gong said before, how true and how false is the Yunding Immortal Mountain and the land of Fengqi Longteng?" Song You said, "This trip is not a year, if it is a stop, Song wants to go to the place where Zhang Gong said and look for the fairy trail." ”

"I see."

"I don't know if it's convenient for Gong Zhang."

"Haha! What's the inconvenience? ”

"Please tell me about it."

"Genting Immortal Mountain is a rumor that has existed in Pingzhou for hundreds of years, and many people say that they have seen immortals there, but in fact, ah, heh, see the smile, the old man has only heard of it, not really seen it. As for what those people said was true or false, how much true and how false it was, the old man didn't dare to say anything. Mr. Zhang smiled ashamedly, "But for hundreds of years, there have often been celebrities and scholars who go to Genting Immortal Mountain to visit the immortals, or hermits who yearn for this way, either seeking immortals or seeking immortality, or seeking to be at ease, but please sir, how many people become immortals, how many people are immortal, and how many people are at ease?" ”

"Thank you."

Song You nodded.

This Mr. Zhang has only heard of it, but judging from his decades of life experience and world experience, he doesn't believe it, it's just not easy to say it directly.

"As for the matter of Qingtong Fengming Mountain in the north of Yuezhou, it is recorded in the "Landscape Note" by Cheng Anbo in the previous dynasty, and some people often claim to have seen it, but the old decay has never seen it."

"I see."

Mr. Zhang thinks this is more credible.

"And the south of Yunzhou, through Qiyun Mountain, is the paradise in the mouth of the old decay, there is a real dragon standing here, often hovering in the clouds, swallowing smoke clouds." Mr. Zhang paused, "This is what the old father saw with his own eyes when he was young, and he said it to the old man in person, but the vicissitudes of the world, I don't know what happens now." ”

"See ...... with your own eyes"

Song You was a little surprised for a while.

There are dragons in the world, and they are ever-changing.

In fact, it is not that dragons are ever-changing, but that all things have become essences after gaining the Tao, and some of them are called dragons.

For example, if someone walks to the deep mountains and sees a big python with horns, swallowing clouds and spitting mist, and his heart is frightened and shocked, he will call it a dragon. When someone is walking on the water, he sees a dark shadow under the water, and he often sets off waves, so he thinks it is a dragon. Even some animals in the water, because of their ferocious nature, are called dragons. Some people even raise snakes in the well to observe the water quality, and after a long time, they see that the snake is quite spiritual, and they also praise it as a dragon.

Fulongguan said that the true dragon has long been extinct.

If there is a real dragon, I will definitely go and see it.

"Haha."

I saw Mr. Zhang look up at him, and couldn't help laughing twice: "If Mr. is interested, sit down, and the old man will listen to Mr. in detail." ”

"Trouble Gong Zhang."

Song You ordered two more pots of tea.

The two of them found a nearby seat and sat down, and talked about it late at night like friends for many years.

Mr. Zhang talked about many interesting points in a row, and he talked about them in more detail than when he was on stage. If you understand it clearly, you will explain to him how to go and how to find it. If you don't understand clearly, you will try your best to tell everything you know, so that Song You can decide whether to go or not, and if he decides to go, how to explore it by himself.

Late at night, the two said goodbye and left each other.

I saw Mr. Zhang standing at the entrance of the alley, with the light of the lantern, it was obvious that the stars were lost in the sky, and he stared at the figure of Song You leaving in the rain, but there was doubt in his eyes.

"Yin Yang Mountain Fulong View ......"

I seem to have heard of this name.

But I guess I heard about it when I was young.
