"If you talk about a chance encounter in the rivers and lakes, how many people dare to say that they can survive under the sword of Na Shu Yifan? In the midst of the chaos, Cao Yan pierced through Yang in a hundred steps, and he could still penetrate his armor for dozens of zhang, who dared to say that he could dodge his arrow? The people of Saibei are born to eat on horseback, and the scimitar king every year has countless heads! But if you put on the armor and look at the world, who would dare to say that you can go a hundred and ten rounds under Chen Ziyi's spear?

"There are countless heroes and heroes in the world, who is higher in martial arts?

"Everyone gets together, who is the first in the world?

"I'm afraid that each occasion has its own highs and lows!

"Heroes and heroes can't get together, the old man will give everyone a high and low on the stage, today for everyone to talk about the heroes of the world, just a family's words, I hope you will cheer."

A thin storyteller on the stage, with a low voice, spoke very attractively.

However, the officials who had just come in below didn't buy it.

"If you don't talk about this today, will it be successful?"

"What do you want to hear?"

"I heard that someone has met an immortal on that Yunding Mountain again?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone became interested.

Yes, this is Pingzhou.

The stories that people love to hear the most are the stories of fairies and ghosts, especially the real stories of fairies and ghosts that are close at hand.

But I saw that the storyteller on the stage showed a look of embarrassment, and looked at the old customers under the stage: "It's not that the old man doesn't want to talk about it, but I really talked about it in the last class, and all the guest officials in the audience haven't left yet, how can there be a reason to collect money from you once but let someone listen to the same story twice?" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a clang.

Seeing that someone threw money, others also threw it, and the pears that had just fallen in the new autumn of this year were thrown on the stage, at least one hundred and ten dollars, seven or eight pears.

"Ouch ouch!

"Thank you!

"Thank you so much......"

The storyteller hurriedly thanked him, bent down and picked up the money one by one, and did not leave any melons and fruits, and then gave it up again: "Since everyone wants to hear it, let's talk about it again." ”

Coughed twice and pursed his lips:

"I don't know if you remember last year? The newly appointed magistrate of Shizu County came to climb Genting Mountain with us, but he disappeared, leaving only one retinue to run down the mountain, and everyone thought that he either fell to his death when crossing the Genting Cable, or was eaten by the beast spirits in the mountains.

"That's no ordinary person! Although he went to Shizu County next to him to be the magistrate, he used to be a Beijing official, and he also had a literary name, and he intersected all over the world, and at that time, the magistrate of our Changsheng County went to incense, and even the county had nobles who had a friendship with him, and they also came to Yunding Mountain to incense.

"But who knows?

"He and his guards came down from the mountain a few days ago!"

The people below were in an uproar, and there was a lot of discussion, and some of them who had heard it before had already begun to whisper to the people next to them about the next things.

"This can't be faked!"

Mr. Storyteller glared at him and said: "Someone came down from Yunding Mountain before, saying that he had met a fairy, and it was hard to say whether it was true or not, anyway, there was no evidence, there was truth and falsehood, but no matter which time, it was not as credible as this time!"

"People are degraded Beijing officials! There is also a literary name, although it is not from a famous family, nor is it from a small family, but people have really disappeared for a whole year, and everyone knows it! As a result, the Xinzhi County sent by the imperial court has not yet arrived, the wife and children have not yet finished their filial piety, and the people have really come down from the mountain, who can do this?

"The whole Shizu County is crazy!"

Someone at the bottom immediately asked, "What did he say?" ”

"One day in the sky, one year in the earth, have you ever heard of it? That magistrate met a fairy, and the fairy walked together, at the top of the mountain when sleepy, slept for a night, woke up the next day and thought it was just a night, only to find out that it had slept from the second year of Mingde to the third year of Mingde, you say magic is not magical? ”

The people below were in a commotion.

Then I heard someone ask, "Has his wife and concubine remarried?" ”

It's a warm voice.

"Not really."

The storyteller paused: "All the gentlemen are quiet, there are more details here, and the people from Shizu County said it themselves......"

Everyone fell silent and listened to him.

Although this story spread far away, Cui Nanxi and the guards really kept their word and did not reveal his name. Knowing this, coupled with knowing that Cui Nanxi's wife and concubine had not yet remarried, the impact of this year on him was a little smaller, so Song You was satisfied and got up to leave.

There are rumors of meeting immortals, and his fame has increased, so Cui Nanxi's brain is a little more active, and it may be said that the compilation of the canon is the instruction of the immortals, and it is easier to get the consent of the Son of Heaven and the court, and it is easier to serve as the president.

It's another compensation in addition to the elixir.

It was very noisy inside the barn, but it was quiet outside, the sun was just right, and the horses were quietly parked in the stable.

As soon as Song You approached, the three-flowered cat in the cloth pocket seemed to recognize his footsteps, and suddenly poked its head out of the cloth pocket and stared at him with a puzzled face.

"Are you done?"

"I'm done."

"I thought you were going to hear that it was dark."

"Let's go."

As soon as the Taoist left, the horses followed, letting the commotion behind him, talking about the gods on the mountain.

It's just that in this way, the rumor that there are immortals on this Yunding Mountain is afraid to be confirmed, and I don't know how many people come from the north and south of the river to come to this Yunding Mountain to find immortals.

How many people's time has been missed.

"Alas......"

The horses made their way out of the city.

Out of Changsheng County, two hundred miles, out of Pingzhou.

……

After Pingzhou, it is Jingzhou.

Horse bells jingle.

The little girl was wearing a three-color summer dress, walking ahead, and the clothes on her body were washed several times, and the colors were not as bright as at the beginning, but they looked more and more soft and pleasing to the eye.

At this time, she held a yellowed ball in her hand, and threw it in the air to play.

Every time, I threw the ball high, just to the position in front of me, and I took a small step and walked over just to catch it. Occasionally, if you make a mistake, you have to wait or run a few more steps, and such a lively image of a little girl has also attracted the attention of many people along the way.

The Taoist behind him was thinking about firewood, rice, oil and salt.

It's spring this year, ah no, it's already last year.

When I left Anqing in the spring of last year, I had about twenty-seven or eight taels of silver on my body.

It's hard to say whether this money is more or less.

If you are ordinary people, most of them rely on self-sufficiency in their ordinary life, and there is not much place to earn money, nor many opportunities to spend money, this money is very much for them, and according to their usage, it may be used for decades.

If you are a person who does not farm the land, and a person who lives purely on money, then in this era of commercial prosperity, it will not take so long.

Song You and Sanhua Cat went all the way, when they traveled in the mountains, the cost was not high, but once they entered the city, although they lived in a good inn and a good room, they were not cheap, and they rarely treated themselves badly in terms of food.

In the past six months, it has cost more than ten taels.

Now there were thirteen taels of silver left, and six or seven hundred copper coins.

If you want to go to Changjing in front, you have to pass through Jingzhou, and then go through Angzhou, although it is not as picturesque as the landscape of Xuzhou, and it is not as good as Pingzhou full of scenic spots, fairy gods and monster legends, but it also has its own folk customs, even if it takes less time than Xuzhou Pingzhou, I am afraid it will take several months.

The price of Yidu is already very high, and the price of Changjing is probably higher, so I have to keep some money, at least when I enter Changjing, I will not sleep on the streets, and then I will think about how to get money.

You have to keep money for a meal, a good meal.

At this time, a year and a half have passed since An Qingyi's farewell, and I don't know if I can meet Wu Nuxia in Changjing, and I don't know how much a good meal in Changjing costs, in short, keep this money first, and keep a little more.

As a result, there isn't much left to spend.

It's just that Song You is not worried, just calculate, if you are rich, you will be rich, and if you are hard, you will be bitter, in short, you will walk in the world, and you will not starve to death.

The farther and farther I went, the dew was thick and the fog was heavy, and the autumn was getting darker and deeper.

Before you know it, the autumnal equinox has passed again.

The weather is gradually getting colder, the warmth that can be kept by the felt and the thin blanket is getting less and less, Song You used the thin blanket he bought together with the wool blanket given by Yu Zhizhou, and he had to rely on Sanhua Niangniang to warm each other, this kind of weather sleeping in the wild has no idea of lying in bed at all, when he woke up, he wanted to get up early to boil hot water, eat something to warm up, and then continue on the road.

It's warm when you walk.

It was another early morning, and the Taoist passed through the middle of the village with the three-flowered cat and the horse.

The houses in the village are sparse, the surrounding grass and leaves are all golden, the morning mist covers the whole world, and the sun is just shining from the east, which has a special warm and warm feeling.

The sound of chickens is in the month of Maodian, and the track of Banqiao frost.

Mo Daojun walked early, and there were even more early pedestrians.

Song You stopped on the small bridge, and behind him was a string of footprints, both his, horseshoe prints, and a string of plum blossoms. In front of an old man carrying a basket on his back, with a series of footprints behind him, the two met on this stone bridge, and stopped at each other because of the Taoist salute.

The old man is on a cane, and the Taoist is also on a cane.

I saw the Taoist respectfully asking, "Old man, I don't know if there are any horse hooves repairers around here?" ”

The three-flowered cat also looked up at the old man.

"Repair horses' hooves?"

"Yes, fix the horse's hooves."

"Repair the horse's hooves, ah......"

The old man spoke indistinctly, so he had to look up at him, raised his hand and wanted to point, but it took a little half a circle to find the direction: "There is a village in front of him, there is a blacksmith, who seems to be able ......to repair horses' hooves."

"Just ahead?"

"It's going to take a long time......

"Straight ahead?"

"Ah......h

The old man said very vaguely, and Song You was not sure.

But still respectfully:

"Thank you, sir."

The old man shook his head and left.

The Taoist also took the horse and the cat with him.

On the loess road, two strings of footprints are staggered.

Song You couldn't help but glance back, and was surprised to find that the old man's clothes were even thinner than his.

It's early in the morning, and I don't know how far I've gone.
