Song You folded a few bamao that had just grown in spring, and it didn't grow long, delicate and tender, and it was used to weave a hollow ball, looking left and right, not very satisfied, anyway, it was boring to walk, so he threw it away and re-knitted two, and then selected a favorite one and put it in the quilt bag.

Such a leisurely and leisurely process, picking fruits and folding grass, in fact, did not delay walking, but also added a lot of fun to walking.

In a trance, it seems to be back to childhood.

At that time, no matter where you went, no matter how long the road was, as long as you walked on the road, in the fields beside the road, in the trees in the forest, there were countless funs.

Walking was never about walking.

Gradually, he went higher and higher, to the top of the mountain.

The three-flowered cat stopped and turned its head to look into the distance.

Song You also stopped.

I don't know where it is, but I just know that when you look at it this way, the mountains and rivers are all at your feet, and the scenery is wonderful.

There's a lot of sugar cane growing here.

Between the slopes of the hill is a flat and regular land, dyed dense blue by a field of sugar cane forests, and in the middle there is a path that leads to a place that will never be in this life, and large trees grow quietly by the roadside, I don't know how many years have grown, and villages and houses can be seen faintly at the end of the sight, and I don't know how many years they have existed, everything is clear, quiet and beautiful.

Song You couldn't help but think, maybe the scenery here was like this hundreds of years ago.

Maybe it will be the same in a few hundred years.

But whose hometown is this? What kind of people live here? What kind of life do they live?

Song You's face was natural, but his heart was impulsive, he wanted to go down to see the appearance of this land, know the people here, and listen to the stories here, but he also knew that the mountains and rivers were infinite, and the gods couldn't see it.

The world is big, life is short, and it is inevitable to regret it.

But perhaps regret is the norm.

"Sir."

Then a swallow landed, stopped above the horse's head, and turned to look at him: "Where are we going?" ”

"Yan'an, ......"

Song You didn't answer in a hurry, but asked him, "Have you ever flown to the south for the winter?" ”

"Mr. Hui, I grew up beside my ancestors since I was a child, and I don't need to fly to the south to spend the winter. Later, when I got the Tao, I opened my spiritual wisdom, and I changed my form, so I didn't have to go. ”

"That's right."

"Sir is interested in things in the South and overseas?" Yanzi stared at the Taoist with a pair of dark eyes, and always felt that he was a little regretful after hearing that he had not been there, "I have heard a lot of things about the south and overseas from my ancestors since I was a child, if I want to hear it, I can also tell it to my husband." ”

"Not really."

"That's ......"

"I just think it's unusual to fly south for the winter."

"How is it not ordinary?"

"I heard that you are going to fly thousands of miles, the farthest will fly tens of thousands of miles, I don't know how many mountains and rivers you have to cross, how many different scenery you have to see, that part of the road must be very exciting." Song You sighed, "In this world, even the gods are trapped in place by faith, and they don't know what the world really looks like, and even most people can't even dream of such a vast world, but you are born to move south, and you are born to see the vast world that most people can't see in a lifetime, I don't know what you think, in short, many people are envious." ”

When Yanzi heard him say this, he really felt very unusual, so he also felt a little regretful.

"I haven't been to ......"

"You can go anytime."

"Is it dangerous out there?"

"It's hard to say."

"Oh......"

Song You thought about it for a while before he said:

"When I was young, I also asked my master if it was dangerous down the mountain.

She said to me, "This world is more than 100,000 miles wide, and every day I don't know how many people die in misfortune, and I don't know how many people don't die well." But there are also people who stay where they are, who have never gone anywhere, who have never done anything special, and who have died of illness and starvation. There are also people who live to old age, but they are also confused. You still need to see and decide for yourself, and what you have seen and encountered in this life is also closely related to how you choose.

"But she is a multi-pedestrian person, and when she was young, she loved to walk the world the most, this is just her idea, naturally. You and I should have our own ideas and choices. ”

Yanzi thought for a long time before she said worriedly, "I've always wanted to ask Mr. a question. ”

"Just ask."

"Sir walks the world like this, and there is no destination, so what is Sir for?"

"What do you think?"

“……”

Yanzi thought for a long time before he said carefully: "I thought it was to punish the evil and promote the good, and punish the evil and eliminate the demons. ”

"Along the way, I have punished evil and promoted good, punished evil and eliminated demons, but I didn't go down the mountain specifically for them." Song You shook his head and smiled, "I sometimes do this, and sometimes I don't. ”

"Sir doesn't accumulate merit?"

"Don't accumulate merit, only peace of mind."

"Sir doesn't want to become a god?"

"Not to become a god, not to become a Buddha."

“……”

Yanzi was stunned for a moment, accustomed to seeing his ancestors trying their best to become gods, and now Mr. said such a fluttering sentence "not to become a god, nor to become a Buddha", which suddenly made him not know how to answer.

"That'...... Is it to become an immortal? ”

"What is an immortal?"

"Immortals are...... Eternal life? ”

"Those who intend to live forever cannot live forever, and those who have no intention of living forever have no intention of living forever."

"That's freedom."

"Can you be at ease if you become an immortal? Or can you become an immortal when you are at ease? But if you are already at ease, what difference does it make if you become an immortal or not? Song You's words were gentle.

“……”

Yanzi pondered while digesting, and his confidence was no longer enough: "Is that gentleman just a simple practitioner?" ”

"But they don't practice for entering the world."

"That's ......"

"Where are there so many reasons? Where do you have so many purposes? ”

"Please sir."

"Where is there teaching. Life is short, walking in the world, I just want to see more scenery, see more things that I have not seen before, taste more fun in this world, and fill in more fun according to my own preferences in this short life, so that at the end of this life, I can say a word in retrospect. Song You smiled, "But what's interesting is that when you don't think about anything, there are a lot of unexpected gains." This kind of unexpected unexpected, on the contrary, is the most happy. ”

“……”

The swallow fell silent and thoughtful.

If he had taken on a human form, he would have frowned.

Not to become a god, not to become an immortal, not to practice, just according to your own heart's wishes, to make this life more interesting.

What Mr. said seems to be just a mortal, but if you think about it, what is the difference between this and immortals?

Whether it is becoming a god, becoming an immortal, becoming a Buddha, or entering the world to practice, if you think about it like this, if you deliberately pursue it, even if it is different from the fame and fortune in the mortal world, how big is the difference?

A voice suddenly came from his ears:

"Let's go."

"Let's go...... Which way to go? ”

"Down."

Song You has already made a decision: "It's okay if you don't meet it, since you have met, it's not good." ”

It's already afternoon, and maybe you can spend the night below.

So I went down the path again.

It didn't take long for the world below to come into view. I saw a mountain village road, the cypress trees on the side of the road are evergreen, I don't know which way it leads, but the path is smooth, and people often walk when they want to come.

The three-flowered cat still runs in front, very lively, and only stops to look at them when it comes to a fork in the road.

It's also for fun-

As long as she runs faster, she can stop in front of her, smell the grass on the roadside, and sometimes take a few bites, or catch insects on the roadside, catch them and give them to the swallows to eat, or look at the scenery in the distance.

Gradually, it was almost dusk.

Song You looked up and saw smoke rising from the depths of the bamboo forest in the distance, and there was a lot of smoke, it should be a village.

Maybe you can go and spend the night.

Just as he was thinking about it, the three-flowered cat in front of him suddenly stopped, the whole cat didn't move, raised his head and stared straight ahead, turned his head to look at Song You, and continued to look ahead.

Song You walked over unhurriedly.

Follow her gaze—

I saw a child standing alone under the cypress tree on the side of the road, a boy, seven or eight years old, not crying or making trouble, but looking left and right, a little wooden in the dazed.

There was wind on the riverside, and it made him crane his neck.

"It's a villain!"

"Sanhua Niangniang has good eyesight."

"Where's his mother?"

"Not here."

"That's lost!"

"Possibly."

Song You looked at the smoke in the distance, and even though the bamboo forest was blocked, he still saw a corner of the cottage.

I think the kid came from there.

"That's just right."

"What's right?"

"It's easy to spend the night tonight."

"yes!"

The three-flowered cat turned its head and glanced at Song You in surprise, and immediately came to its senses, and then trotted in broken steps, jumped up, and ran towards the child.

The child was still in a trance, looking left and right, dazed, until the three-flowered cat approached him, he seemed to be attracted by the cat, and began to stare at the three-flowered cat intently.

But there was still no action.

Song You also walked over.

"Little doll."

"Huh?"

The child looked up at him with a blank expression.

Song You smiled, trying to make himself look gentle, and his voice slowed down: "Where are you from?" How did you come here alone? ”

The child looked around again and stretched out his hand to point, but his finger shook half a circle and he couldn't tell the direction.

"What's your name?"

"Maverick ......"

"How did you get here?"

"I don't know ......"

"Where do you live?"

"Home ......"

The child stared at him dumbfoundedly.

When the wind blew, he was thinly dressed, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck and shiver.

Song You stood up and blocked the wind for him.

The child immediately got better.

Suddenly, Song You turned his head again, as if he heard some sounds from the wind.

It seems that someone is calling out to this child.

"Calf."

"Huh?"

"Do you hear someone calling you?"

"It seems to be ......"

The child nodded, and Mu Ne replied.

"On which side?"

"I don't know ......"

The child stared at him stunned.

“……”

Song You had no choice but to turn his head to look at the Sanhua cat: "What about Sanhua Niangniang?" Do you hear something? ”

"Hear something."

"What is it?"

"Someone is singing."

"Singing?"

"That's right! Strange talking voice! ”

"Is it over there?"

Song You pointed in the direction where the smoke was rising.

"Seems to be."

"Okay."

So Song You squatted down, looked at the child lightly, and stretched out his hand to him:

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

The child looked at him, and then at the cat.

hesitated and entangled, as if he felt that this person's affinity was not bad, and finally chose to believe, so he reached out to hold him, followed him, and walked forward along the path.

I didn't see anyone looking for it all the way.

On the contrary, the voice became clearer.

In fact, it's not singing, it's just a melodious tone, and every shout drags a long tail note, which is slightly different from the usual shouting. Although it is different from the female ghost singing voice in Yidu Courtyard, Sanhua Cat can't tell what singing is, only remembers Song You's words, which sounds strange, so he says it's singing.

"Maverick ......"

The voice could still be heard clearly across the river.

"Calf......

"Maverick ......"

……

"Come home......

"Come back for dinner......

"Come back and fall asleep......

"Say yes......

"Come back......

"Don't let your family worry about ......"

A crowd of men and women, young and old, shouted around the house.

Some stood on the roof, some stood on the hill behind the house, and some stood on the ridge in front of the house, and the sound dragged on for a long time.

Among them was an old man with a long beard, who held a bowl of muddy water in his hand, and every time he shouted, he would dip water from the bowl and sprinkle it in the sky. There was also a middle-aged woman, with a crying voice in her voice, which added a touch of strong emotional flavor to this simple and ancient shouting.

Suddenly, everyone looked ahead.

I saw a young man in a Taoist robe walking along the path, a three-flowered cat in front of him, jogging in broken steps, and a red horse behind him, without reins, but also following him honestly.

There is still a swallow flying in the sky.

This Taoist himself is wonderful enough, but there is more than that, what is even more wonderful is that his right hand is slightly raised to the side, as if he is holding an invisible and not tall person.

When the Taoist walked in front of everyone, the shouting that had just resounded had basically stopped, and he felt that the picture in front of him was too mysterious, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and he didn't dare to speak, so he suddenly changed from the noise just now to the silence now.

Song You nodded at them slightly, then looked down at the child on the right hand, and said with a low smile:

"Let's go back."

After saying that, he let go of his right hand.

When the woman looked back, she didn't care about the mystery of the scene, so she wiped the tears from her face, turned around and ran into the house.

Soon there was a shout from inside:

"Wake up, wake up!"

A bunch of people all ran into the house.

A man only glanced at it, then ran out again, came to Song You again, bowed and kept bowing:

"Thank you sir, thank you sir......"

"I just wandered through this place, and I happened to see Ling Lang's soul standing on the side of the road, and I heard everyone's shouts by the way, so I followed the sound and brought it back." Song You paused for a moment, and then looked at the old gentleman next to him who was at a loss with a water bowl, "You should only thank the old gentleman, thanks to the old gentleman's method, Ling Lang didn't go far." ”

"Thank you, thank you......"

The man was so excited that he was a little incoherent, and hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Two gentlemen, please come and sit in the house!" ”

"Sir, please."

"You please you please ......"

"How dare the juniors."

"Then I'll go first......

The old gentleman then walked into the house with the bowl.

Song You also walked in.

It's just a thatched hut in the village, simple but refreshing, the middle one is the hall house, the old eight-immortal table, the coarse bowl for tea, the table and the bowl are afraid that there are many years old.

There was a bowl of tea for the old gentleman, and the man hurriedly went to get another bowl and poured a bowl for Song You.

After taking a sip, he saw that several people at the table were looking at him, but he didn't know how to speak, Song You knew that most of these people were simple people in the countryside, and they didn't have so much eloquence, so he put down the bowl and said:

"In the next surname Song Mingyou, a mountain man in Lingquan County, Yizhou, traveling the world, passing through here, it is also considered to be related to Linglang, so he brought tea to drink."

"Thank you, sir, we're all dying."

"Don't worry, there's an old gentleman here, maybe a few more screams, and you'll be back."

This is just talking.

In fact, this method is only useful for people whose souls are scattered but have not gone far, and who are near the door, and the soul of this child has already gone out more than a mile, and it is impossible to shout back like this. However, this kind of folk gentleman usually has a lot of experience, and it is not clear if there is another way.

In short, I just came to spend the night, begging for a meal, and sometimes I also had a lot of money when I said it casually, so I didn't want to smash other people's signboards.

"Where is the gentleman going?"

"Pingzhou."

"Where is Pingzhou?"

"I want to go to Genting Mountain."

"Genting Mountain ......"

The man was a little embarrassed and didn't hear it.

But he also immediately said: "To go to the boundary of Pingzhou, I'm afraid it will take nearly 200 miles, it will take a day to run fast on horseback, and it will take two days to walk with feet." Mr. Yu has a great favor with the villain, and the villain has nothing to entertain Mr. here, so he cheekily asks Mr. to stay for dinner and stay for one night. ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey."

To have a place to stay and eat a hot and serious meal is better than sleeping in the open.

Someone in the back room fed the calf some water and ate some meat porridge, and the calf gradually came to his senses, although weak, he could be regarded as regaining consciousness and being able to speak.

The adults asked him what was going on, he couldn't tell, asked him where he went, he couldn't say, only said that he vaguely remembered that he was standing on the side of a small road, the surrounding was foggy, and he couldn't see anything clearly, and then a cat came to him with a Taoist priest, talked to him, and then took him along a road, and arrived at the door of the house.

Everyone was amazed for a moment.

Thank you for your votes and rewards, and the 4800-word chapter will be sent!

Appreciate!
