Tailor shop in the city.

Song You had come to his senses, stood in front of an old woman, and gestured for her, to make something similar to a blanket, and sew it on the quilt bag when the time came.

"It's about that big......"

The old lady squinted her eyes and looked carefully, and took out a ruler to compare: "It's bigger than the blanket." ”

"Yes, don't be too peaceful."

"Sir, you want to pack a big thing?"

"Yes."

"How big is the object?"

"Probably ......"

"Meow~"

A cat pulled down his robe.

Song You looked down and understood, so he simply picked up the cat and held it up to the old woman:

"Install it."

"Sewn into the quilt bag of the horse?"

"I'm going to take it on a long journey."

"Understood."

The old lady waved her hand very confidently.

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

Professionals do professional things, Song You fully trusts the skills of the old craftsmen, leaves a fixed money, says when to bring the quilt bag to sew, and leaves with the three-flower cat.

……

A few days later.

The swallow's flying skills have almost been learned, in addition to more skills, but also gained a novel experience and new perspectives, and I have gained a lot of insights.

It's also time to leave.

Song You got Qingyangzi's permission and came to the backyard of the Taoist temple.

There are bamboo forests inside and outside the courtyard.

It's just that outside the courtyard is ordinary bamboo, which is mainly practical. The courtyard is a kind of garden ornamental bamboo, all grow not thick, also do not grow tall, the bamboo is dense, the touch feels smooth, the texture is hard, it feels like a kind of bamboo, it is the most suitable for making bamboo canes.

Song You has been in love with them for a long time.

When I came here today, I looked left and right around the bamboo forest, touched and touched, carefully selected, and compared many times, and then selected one.

"I'm sorry."

Song You bowed his hand, and then stepped forward.

The tiger's mouth stuck at the root of the bamboo, and when there was no movement, he easily took it out.

Then hold the bamboo and slowly pinch it up, the small branches on the top will fall one after another, and compare the appropriate length, the thumb and index finger are pinched again, and the upper half is also broken, and it is neatly broken.

So there is only one bamboo cane left, the size is just right for one hand to hold, the bamboo is extremely smooth, like polished, the whole body is straight, the length is just right, and it is verdant like jade in the sun.

Song You took it and looked at it, very satisfied.

So I wanted to go out.

He had only taken a few steps before suddenly stopping.

Looking back—

A little girl was also standing in the bamboo forest, squatting and squatting, holding a small bamboo the thickness of a finger, breaking left and right, shaking the bamboo and drawing circles, trying her best to pull it off.

Song You couldn't help but walk over and look at her carefully.

"Sanhua Niangniang."

"Huh?"

"What do you do?"

"Break the bamboo."

"What are you doing with bamboo?"

"What are you doing with bamboo?"

Sanhua Niangniang stopped her movements and looked back at him.

"I'll be a crutch."

"I don't know."

Sanhua Niangniang said: "I asked the Lord, and I also asked the Lord, and he said that I was allowed to take one." ”

"Be polite."

Song You smiled and walked over.

This bamboo is only the thickness of a thumb, and it has been broken by her, and the folds have been tortured to the point that it is not shapely, but the bamboo is tenacious, and it is constant.

So he crouched down beside the girl, grasped the spot a little above the fold, and then released his hand, and without a sound, the bamboo had a neat fracture, like a sharp blade.

The girl froze and turned her head to stare at him.

Song You smiled again, and then took a handful of it as before, and dealt with it for her, and then handed it to her and said, "Do you want to learn the rough and shallow use of the golden method?" After learning, it is convenient to chop wood. ”

The girl took the bamboo, but she still squatted in place, staring straight at him with her head up, not speaking.

If it had been before, she would have learned.

But now I have learned the method of fire practice for a long time, practicing in the morning and evening, and practicing regularly in the morning and afternoon, but I can only spit out the open flame just now, and that's it, I have already taken on the heavy responsibility of burning the fire.

The Taoist priest told her that burning more fires would help her practice.

The girl's eyes turned left and right, pursed her lips, and without saying a word, she picked up the bamboo cane, turned her head and left.

Song You smiled and went out with him.

In the front yard, the jujube red horse stood quietly, with a quilt bag on his back, and the Taoist stood next to him, and the Taoist temple was still quiet.

Song You walked over with a bamboo cane and saluted everyone sincerely: "I have been here for more than half a month, thanks to the hospitality of all Taoist friends, it is really the most comfortable period of time along the way, and I am grateful." ”

"Where."

All the Taoist leaders hurriedly returned the salute.

"However, in this trip down the mountain, after all, I want to say goodbye to all my fellow Daoists. I was reluctant, but I was helpless. Fate gathers and scatters, all of which have wonderful points, so I won't say more. Song You paused, glanced at the youngest boy in the crowd, and then looked at everyone, "At the end of the downstream calendar, if you Taoist friends swim to Lingquan County, Yizhou, you can come to Yinyang Mountain to find me, and I will treat you well." ”

"Definitely!"

"That's it."

"Fellow Daoists, go slowly!"

"Friendship is already full, why send it away."

Song You walked out of the Taoist temple with the jujube red horse and the little girl, and the Taoist leaders really stopped at the door, not far away, he only bowed to them one last time, then said no more, and turned to leave.

The little girl also held a bamboo cane to say goodbye to them, then turned her head to look at Song You, and said as she walked:

"Qingyangzi!"

"Yes."

"Mitsukako!"

"That's the palace master of Fuqing Palace."

"Why are they all called sons?"

"In recent years, the name of the Taoist has become popular, and the literati are called whatever the Taoist."

"What's your name?"

The little girl waved the bamboo pole and walked side by side with him, turning her head to look at him.

"I don't call a son."

The little girl tilted her head and thought for him:

"Mao Juzi."

"What is Mao Juzi?"

"You haven't seen Mao Juzi?"

"What is it?"

"You're not smart."

"So what's it?"

"It's going to stick to the fur and won't fall off."

"Oh......"

Song You reacted at this time, she was talking about a plant fruit.

"And Cang'erzi."

The little girl added.

"Do you like it?"

"I don't like it!!"

The little girl hurriedly shook her head, her voice firm.

From her expression, Song You saw full of annoyance and vigilance.

Mao Juzi, that is, ghost needle grass, also known as walking with people, sticky clothes, the fruit is a mass of black and brown short needles, which will stick to clothes or hair. Xanthus are small green balls with barbs that stick to clothing or hair and are more difficult to remove than hair, especially hair.

It seems that she has suffered from these two things before.

But it's spring now.

These two things shouldn't be much, right?

After walking out for half a moment, Song You slowed down and took out the book "Jisheng of the Land" from the horse's back.

Turning the first page, there is a map of Dayan.

A very rough map, only a rough shape of the state, marking where the states are, and nothing else can be seen. What is the climate of each state, what are the attractions and attractions, where are they in the state, and how to get there, they are explained in text at the back, and occasionally a small picture is attached. I still have to ask for directions, but it's already a great help.

But this map and the maps of the afterlife are two different things.

The mere fact that it doesn't follow the pattern of going north and going south adds to the problem.

You have to rely on your own geographical knowledge to tell.

Xuzhou should be located near the southwest of Dayan, and if the map goes north and south, it will be slightly lower left in the middle. If you go directly to the north, it is not far to Changjing. Considering that he has to go back, and Changjing is only one of Song You's stops, not his destination, so it is not worth going directly.

Therefore, he intended to continue southward until he crossed the Xuzhou border and then east.

First go to Pingzhou and visit Genting Mountain.

Then go north, and finally west, so go around in a circle, go a few more states, and then go to Changjing.

There are no thousands of miles, but there are eight or nine thousand.

“……”

Song You put the book back in the quilt bag.

Looking back, the green mountains have become blurred, and the Taoist temples under the green mountains have become very small, and the bamboo forest behind the house is a mess, and the figures of those Taoists have long been gone.

Song You stopped in place for a moment and looked at it a few more times.

Maybe I will never come back here, this moment is the last moment to spend time with this landscape, this look is the last look.

Maybe there will be a time to meet, but it is ten or twenty years later, even if the landscape does not change, people are no longer young, Song You himself at that time does not know him yet, how do you know what mood he will have?

It's just a piece of scenery during the journey, but I still can't help but sigh.

"Taoist priest."

"Hmm."

Song You retracted his gaze and only looked at the road ahead.

It was the morning, a wet morning sun had just risen to the top of the mountain, blurred in the place where the mountain fog and the sky and clouds met, walking slowly with a cane, ten miles away from the green mountains, and the tide flat road with sand.

I don't know what kind of landscape and people are ahead.

It is also today that news has spread from Lingbo County to Anqing County, saying that the water demon who has been in chaos for several years has been ambushed, and the corpse floating in the river is at least ten zhang long and several zhang wide, if it is not for the section of the Liujiang River that is wide and deep enough, it really can't accommodate it.

At this time, the waterway has been opened, and there is no more water demons to make trouble.

Subduing the water demon is a cloud wandering immortal, young, with a jujube red horse, no reins, with a three-flowered cat, full of spirituality, he didn't even go down to the water, except for such a water demon, if it is not a fairy to the earth, it is really difficult for anyone to believe. Now 100,000 people in Lingbo County are preparing to build a temple for him, and they are standing at the reopened Lingbo Ferry to express their gratitude.

The people in the rivers and lakes who still haven't left Anqing County listened to it, and then thought about what they saw a few days ago, and they were all surprised.

Especially the people of the Xishan faction.

……

The mountains are continuous, and the houses are in the middle of the house.

"The gentleman is gone......"

The young man still stood respectfully in front of the old man.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

The old man coughed again and again, his crutches paused on the ground, and made an old voice: "I tell you to be bolder, I don't want you to fight the world and come out, to revitalize my clan, how to do it, cough cough, just so that when you encounter what you want to do, you can have the courage to do it, it should be your own thing, don't throw it away plainly, the voice is louder, less people look down on it, and you can save a lot of trouble...... It's not that timid and cowardly people can't, it's just that it's easy to miss a lot of things. ”

"Ancestor ......"

"Don't talk nonsense, cough cough...... the old man coughed repeatedly, "tell me what you want to talk about." ”

"I want to ...... Go and send off Mr. ......"

"Yes."

"Ancestor Xie ......"

The boy turned and walked out.

"Wait."

"Huh?"

"Sir is a master, if you think he is good, you will go with him, it will not be your chance. Whether it's Taoism or cultivation, in short, this life will be a little more enjoyable. The old man stared at him with a pair of cloudy eyes, "You can figure it out for yourself." ”

"I ......"

"How?"

"I don't dare ......"

"Then you're going to miss it."

"I ......"

The boy stood still, his eyes full of confusion.

In the end, he only said one sentence: "I will give Mr. a ride, send Mr. out of Xuzhou, and I will come back." ”

"Whatever you want."

The swallow flew out the door.
