There is no other sound in the mountains, only the sound of the bell echoing in the depths ......of the white clouds, crisp and ethereal.

A group of three people, a donkey. A thin middle-aged man, dressed in a wide robe, hat, and beard, rode on the back of a donkey.

The wide robe covered his legs, and the man and the donkey were weak, but there was a sense of harmony between them and the negative.

What a weak literati image. There were two servants beside him, one was eighteen or nineteen years old, with a round face, carrying a bag and leading a donkey.

A man in his twenties, with a resolute face, carrying a long knife with an archer on his back.

"Official, there's someone ahead."

"It seems to be a Taoist gentleman."

"Let's take a look!" The man on the donkey's back looked hard, he had been reading for many years, his eyes were dizzy, and he couldn't see clearly, but he still showed excitement.

It was only when he got closer that he could see clearly. Sure enough, it's a Taoist gentleman. The man's eyes immediately lit up - on this Genting Mountain, could it be an immortal?

However, when Yu Guang glanced at the horse grazing next to him and the quilt bag on the ground, he couldn't help but be disappointed, but he didn't show it, but approached on a donkey, got off the donkey's back, and bowed his hand to Song You: "I've seen Mr." Song You had no choice but to get up and salute back: "Courteous." ”

"Under the surname Cui Mingshang, the word is more than that, the name Nanxi Jushi, he was originally a person from Xuzhou, and it is really fate to meet Mr. here."

"Under the surname Song Mingyou, the word Dream comes, a mountain person in Lingquan County, Yizhou."

"Doesn't the gentleman have a road number?"

"There is no road number yet."

"This ......"

"Don't misunderstand, it's just that I haven't thought about what to call it yet." Song You said calmly.

"I see." This Cui Nanxi smiled, and then asked, "Mr. Menglai, but you want to go to the mountain?" ”

"Exactly."

"Do you want to go to the top of the mountain?"

"I'm going."

"The road to Yunding Mountain is difficult to walk, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, and the rumors are getting more and more mysterious, but fewer and fewer people dare to say that they went to the top of the mountain." Cui Nanxi arched his hand,

"Along the way, I only saw Mr., I wonder if I will have the honor to walk with Mr. and go to Genting together?" After a pause, he glanced at Song You's horse and cat: "If you meet jackals, tigers and leopards, you can take care of each other." ”

"If the foot strength is similar, the peer is naturally good." Unlike Cui Nanxi, who kept his eyes on Song You, the guards behind him observed more carefully, and quickly set their eyes on the jujube red horse next to him, and noticed that the horse had no reins.

But he didn't say anything. This can only show that people are not lucky to come here, and it may be a good thing to be accompanied by it.

"Sir, don't stand up anymore and say, sit down, sit down."

"Okay." Both of them sat down on the lawn, facing the sea of clouds in front of them at a distance, and the openness was packed into their chests.

Cui Nanxi looked left and right, and said with words: "This is Mr.'s cat?" ”

"Sort of."

"This cat followed Mr. up the mountain?"

"yes, I'm tired." The three-flowered cat lying on the ground immediately raised his head when he heard this, staring at Song You, if it weren't for the presence of others, I am afraid that he would have already refuted it.

"Won't it run?"

"No, it won't."

"I've heard that cats are hard to raise, I don't know how Mr. does it?"

"Treat it with your heart."

"What a treat with your heart!" Cui Nanxi couldn't help clapping his hands, feeling that although this gentleman was young, he also had a wonderful point, and then said: "Mr. should also come to this Yunding Mountain to find immortals, right?" ”

"It seems that the foot is too."

"Aren't all here?" Cui Nanxi looked up at the sky, revealing a look of fascination,

"I heard that twenty years ago, Mr. Cheng'an met the gods on this mountain, and talked about wine, so unhappy! There are countless people who have met immortals in this mountain before, but I don't know if I will be lucky enough to find them in this line, and I don't know what that fairy looks like......"

"Mr. Cheng'an really met the immortals?"

"Who knows......" Song You knew when he heard him say this. Regardless of whether people in the past really met the immortals here, or if they pretended to meet the immortals here, whether they didn't meet them at all, or they only met the mountain elves and Qing cultivators who seemed to be immortals, this Cui Nanxi hoped to meet the immortals in his heart here.

Seeing him like this, I'm afraid it's also the time of frustration. Since ancient times, poets and literati have loved to seek immortals.

However, Song You almost thought so in his heart - judging by those rumors, he felt that there were probably no immortals on this Yunding Mountain, but he still hoped to find them here.

But what is a fairy? Or what does the immortal he wants to meet and see look like? The two words of immortals are separated, the meanings are actually similar and complementary, but there are differences in deep study, and most of them are confused into the same meaning in the folk, and there is little difference between gods and immortals.

On closer examination, compared with the two, God is closer to the words faith, duty, and power, while immortal is more like a realm, a kind of cultivation.

If he said that the god he was looking for was naturally not the kind of Heavenly Palace. But even if he is not an omnipotent god in the broad sense, he should have unimaginable power and admiration for meritorious deeds.

If he said that the immortal he was looking for should also be a person who is far away from the world, has a profound Taoism, has a unique view of worldly things, and has an otherworldly ideological realm.

If the cultivation realm is really high, even if the Dao is lower or even not, he is willing to call him an immortal.

It's just that there's somewhere to find it. Just as he was thinking about it, Cui Nanxi's voice came from beside him: "It's a little cool to sit, sir, why don't we continue to set off, and strive to climb to the top today." ”

"It's fine." Song You also got up. Hearing them speak, the three-flowered cat got up as soon as she turned over, stretched her waist, and walked ahead first.

In order to prove that she was not tired, she turned her four little feet upside down and flew fast, and when she encountered a weed blocking the road on the side of the road, she didn't even drill, and wanted to jump over deliberately.

And Cui Nanxi saw that Song You did not ride a horse, so he no longer rode a donkey, but walked with him, looked at the cat, and smiled as he walked: "Mr.'s cat is really human." ”

"She's smart."

"She looked back!"

"She heard it."

"Hey! In the dizzy eyes, I only now found out that the horses of the gentleman's family do not need to be leashed! ”

"The horses are obedient too."

"Do you treat it with your heart?"

"Almost."

"Sir is also a master." When I walked a short distance ahead, I suddenly saw a red leaf. I don't know what kind of tree it is, but the leaves in this mountain are already red, and it looks extremely eye-catching from a distance.

The cats arrived first, stopped to look at them. The group walked slowly, and the bell jingled. The red leaves not only dye this half of the mountain red, but also fall all over the ground, yellow and red, soft and soft to step on, and it is really beautiful.

There were two voices in the mountains.

"What a deep mountain autumn scene! It's summer at the bottom of the mountain, and a hundred flowers bloom when you go up, like spring, I thought that it was gradually cold and bleak up, and it was autumn, but I didn't expect that there was this autumn scene! I have long heard that there are four seasons in Genting Mountain, but I have not experienced it myself, but I don't know that it is so magical! ”

"Are your feet cold?"

"It's okay, I'm dressed thicker than Mr."

"That'll be fine."

"Is Mr. also from Changsheng County?"

"Exactly."

"I guess I came by boat from the other side yesterday morning, right? Did you go to the lake center for the night before yesterday? Maybe our ship isn't far away. ”

"We arrived at the ferry on the other side two days early, and went to the center of the lake for a night, but in the morning we returned the same way, and then went around the lakeside." Song You,

"I started climbing the mountain yesterday morning."

"How far does that have to go?" Cui Nanxi was surprised.

"Two hundred miles."

"Why don't you just take a boat?"

"Thinking that the lakeside scenery is good, it doesn't hurt to walk."

"Mr. Yaqu!"

"There's just nothing to do."

"I heard that Mr. is from Yizhou, how did he come here?"

"Travel the world, passing through Pingzhou."

"It's so comfortable! If I were younger, I should have put my body and soul in this world like my husband! Cui Nanxi shook his head,

"Why should you be ......bound by this political strife?"

"Why are you here again?"

"I don't hide it, I didn't intend to offend the powerful people in the DPRK and China, and I was implicated in the party struggle, and I was demoted to this point."

"I see."

"Alas......" Cui Nanxi couldn't help but sigh.

"Please be happy at your feet, the ups and downs of life are common." Song You also casually persuaded two sentences.

"I'm not afraid of being demoted, even if I am demoted to a desolate place, can't I still be able to change the landscape and enjoy it? He was also a lover of landscapes. Cui Nanxi sighed helplessly,

"It's just that when I was young, I was determined to be famous in history, haha, I am not afraid that Mr. Cui is arrogant, for decades, Cui has read thousands of books, traveled thousands of miles, and thinks that he knows everything about astronomy and geography, and he has been an official in Changjing for a few years and has a lot of fame among literati and hermits, but he can't realize his ambitions, which is a pity."

"The world is unpredictable, and the future is still long."

"Sir, don't be relieved, it's difficult for me to praise the world in poetry, and it's difficult to record it in the history books along the way to the court, it's nothing, and how many people can leave a name? It's just that I knew this earlier, I might as well spend more time walking all over the world, looking for immortals and asking! As the saying goes, thousands of miles to find immortals are not far away, and it is good to enter the famous mountain tour in a lifetime, isn't it also fast? "This is the reason why scholars love to talk to monks and Taoists.

They believe that monks and Taoists are people outside the world, and even monks and Taoists who meet by chance on the roadside are very happy to place their hearts on them and find relief from their sorrows.

It's even better to talk to those who meet by chance on the side of the road. Later, Song You mainly listened. Through this autumn leaf, another layer of clothing has been added.

Cui Nanxi walked out of breath, and under the persuasion of his entourage and Song You, he rode on a donkey again. I saw a mountain spring blocking the way in front of me.

The spring was knee-high, a little turbulent, and the road was slippery and sloping, and it was the abyss below.

To get there, you have to take risks, you have to wade through water. Cui Nanxi sat on the back of the donkey, and the two servants took off their shoes, pulled up their trouser legs, and prepared to lead the donkey to wade through the water.

Song Youben also wanted to take off his shoes, but before he could take off one, the jujube red horse lay down beside him, staring at him with a pair of dark eyes.

Looking ahead, Cui Nanxi also turned his head to see how he was going to cross this section of water, and it was very good that he didn't know how to ride a horse and asked the guards to lead the donkey to carry him over twice.

Song You thought about it, then thanked the horse and got on its back. The donkey's retinue changed from a guard to a guard, and the guard clung to the donkey's reins with one hand, and with the other hand he had to separate and grasp the other attendant, for fear that he would slip and fall.

The horses are taller and more steady. If there is a man on his back, he will walk more steadily.

"Sir, this horse is really amazing."

"Thanks to it all the way."

"Let's be lucky, the road before we met Mr., Cui also encountered fierce beasts and mountain monsters, thanks to Xu Le, we can pass safely, this way, from the mountain world is getting farther and farther away, but there are no poisonous insects and beasts to disturb at all, and there are no mountain spirits and ghosts to visit, it should be closer to the gods." Cui Nanxi was a little excited,

"Most of us can find immortals today."

"Maybe." Through this wading road, there is a cliff ahead, and there is a chain to the other end of the cliff.

The fog here is exceptionally thick. Until here, it has been a path of immortal search that countless people have walked. It was the iron rope in front of him that stopped most of the immortal seekers who wanted to go up to Genting Immortal Mountain.
