Chapter 101: There is a real person in the Floating Cloud View
After walking forward for a while, I saw a blacksmith shop, an old blacksmith with gray hair, who was shirtless when striking iron, and his ribs were so thin that his ribs were clearly defined, and he said that he could repair horses' hooves.
The old blacksmith examined the horse's hooves and said to him, "Your horse's hooves are almost finished." ”
"Yes."
"Do you usually pull more bikes or ride more?"
"The old man misunderstood, he didn't change the horse's hooves under it, just asked the old man to take off the horseshoe that was about to be grinded."
"Can't trust my craft?"
"Never!" Song You hurriedly surrendered his hand, "It's just that you don't need a horseshoe......"
"No more? Less horses? ”
"Almost."
"Uh-huh......"
The old blacksmith uttered a string of incomprehensible tones, as if he still felt that he could not trust his craft, and was expressing his dissatisfaction.
Song You was also helpless.
Now the horseshoe on the feet of the jujube red horse is still played on the way from Nanhua County to Yunding Mountain of Jingdao Lake, and it has been nearly a year and a half now. On Yunding Mountain, he and Sanhua Niangniang spent a year in one night, and the jujube red horse really stayed down for a whole year, but its hooves did not grow, and it did not need to be repaired until now.
This is undoubtedly miraculous.
If you can make a horse's hooves not grow, it must be more than just not growing up, you can stop it from growing, and you can make it grow faster.
Song You knew that this jujube red horse was already very extraordinary, and probably didn't need a horseshoe - at least in terms of wearing the horse's hooves, it didn't need the help of a horseshoe.
It's just that in addition to avoiding wear and tear, the horseshoe also has a variety of effects such as protecting the horse's hooves from cracking and anti-slip in the case of carrying heavy loads. Along the way, I often walked the dirt paths in the mountains, and the jujube red horses were not heavy, and until now, the horseshoe was almost polished.
Try it first and save a lot of money.
The old blacksmith was very fluent, and in two or three strokes he removed the shoe of a horse's hoof, and helped to trim it by the way.
The horse's hooves were much harder than he had thought they were, which made what should have been a pleasing process seem a bit strening.
"It's a lot of work!"
"The old man is tired."
"Where did you buy this horse?"
"A friend."
"Don't be afraid to run away without a rope?"
"Not afraid ......"
It's an old question, and everyone you see has to ask it.
"Where did you come from?"
"Yizhou is here."
"Where's Yizhou?"
"To the south of this side, it is Pingzhou, and then go down to Xuzhou, and to the west of Xuzhou is Yizhou."
"That's far enough."
"Walk slowly."
"Where are you going?"
"I want to go to the real mountain."
Song You said this, and asked for directions by the way: "I don't know how to go to Zhenshan from here?" ”
"Which real mountain? The one with a lot of Taoist temples? ”
"Exactly."
"You're going to find the Taoist temple on the real mountain?"
"yes."
"Which one are you going to take refuge in?"
"No, I just heard that Zhenshan is also one of the famous Taoist mountains, and there is no shortage of Taoist real people who pass through here, so I want to visit it to see if it is true or false."
"Then don't go......"
"How?"
Song You came with some interest.
The old blacksmith put down a horse's hoof, stood up and gasped, as if he was tired enough, then straightened up and said to him: "There are many Taoist temples on the real mountain, and there are not many Taoist priests with real skills, and I heard that the heavy rain washed the mountain down in the autumn before, and now it seems that it has not been repaired, and it is very difficult to walk on the mountain." ”
Song You looked left and right at the road.
This is also an official road, although it is a village, there are also blacksmith shops and thatched shops, all pointing to this road to eat, and the exchange should be very well-informed.
At this time, I heard the old blacksmith say: "We locals know that the Taoist temple with real ability is not on the real mountain, but on the other side, it is called Fuyun Temple." When I was young, I also liked these, I saw with my own eyes that the old master of the floating cloud view had the ability to spread clouds and rain, and that was like a fairy. ”
"What about the floating cloud view?"
"You're from here?"
"That's right."
"Where do you end up?"
"Angzhou."
"Follow forward, forty miles of road, there is a fork in the road, go to the right to lead to the real mountain, go to the left to reach the floating cloud view, you don't need to come back to the two roads, you can keep going forward."
"Thank you ......"
Song You hesitated a little.
On one side is the famous Taoist mountain, and on the other side is the small view of the mountains and wilderness. It is famous all over the world and famous locally. While being famous, an old man said that he had seen the immortal law with his own eyes.
It doesn't seem to be hard to choose.
After paying for the repair of the horse's hooves and thanking the old blacksmith, Song You took the horse all the way forward.
Halfway to find a few people to ask for directions, at least from the two of them have heard that although the real mountain is famous, known as one of the four famous mountains of Taoism, there are also powerful Taoist elders to practice on it, but to say that the really powerful has to count the floating cloud view between the mountains and wilderness, the Taoist chief is like a living immortal, both superb and helpful.
Walk from morning to afternoon, cross the fork to the left.
In the middle of the afternoon, stop by the side of the road to rest.
I haven't seen the shadow of the floating cloud view yet, but this weather, the autumn is high and cool, and the sun is shining, so that Song You can't help but stretch his waist.
There is a small hill next to it.
Song You looked left and right, and then walked up the hillside.
After taking a few steps, he stopped and turned around, and sure enough, he saw the three-flowered cat following him with small steps. Seeing him stop, the three-flowered cat still took a few steps, and then stopped, raised his head to look at him, and one person and one cat looked at each other suspiciously.
"Why don't you leave?"
"Sanhua Niangniang, don't follow me."
"Where are you going?"
"Just don't come along."
"What are you going to do?"
"Sanhua Niangniang should go back and watch the horses."
“!”
As soon as he heard about the horse, the three-flowered cat turned around and saw the horse standing alone on the side of the road, very lonely, hesitated before walking back.
Song You went up the slope alone.
When he looked back, he saw that the cat had stayed with the horse and had not followed, but the man had risen and stood tall, staring at him with his neck outstretched.
“……”
Song You had to walk a little more and go to a position where she couldn't see, otherwise she would definitely have to follow.
The torrent went straight down to 3,000 feet.
As soon as the sound of the water stopped, I heard a shout behind me:
"Where did the cat demon come from?"
Song You walked up to the top of the slope again to take a look, and saw a middle-aged Taoist on the road below, who was frowning and staring at Sanhua Niangniang.
The three-flowered cat was walking up the hill, tiptoeing, intending to peek at what the Taoist priest was doing quietly, but suddenly another Taoist came, and it was a stranger, she had neither the mind to fight with him, nor the idea of explaining to him, and she didn't even think much about it, so she immediately sped up and wanted to run up the hill.
"Don't go!"
The Taoist saw that she was sneaky, and she was a thief, and she was about to run away without answering, where was she willing to let her go easily, so with a wave of her robe, a soft wind blew out, kicking up dust and sand.
However, before the wind and sand landed, I heard a sound:
"The road is long and slow!"
Song You was not in a hurry, he blew out in one breath, and the wind and sand stopped.
Then he walked down the hill.
The three-flowered cat was not affected in any way, and continued to run towards him, but it was only halfway out, and then it stopped again, looking back at the middle-aged Taoist, with curiosity and vigilance in his eyes.
I don't seem to know what this person is doing.
The middle-aged Taoist also turned his head to look at Song You, and then looked at the cat, squinting his eyes, revealing a look of doubt.
There was some embarrassment in the confusion.
Song You arched his hand as he walked towards him: "Why is Daoyou embarrassed by my cat?" ”
"This cat demon was brought by Daoyou?"
"Exactly."
"I see, that's a misunderstanding." The Taoist also bowed his hand to Song You, "I mean this horse is parked on the side of the road, why don't you see anyone, only a little goblin, sneaky, sneaky, ask but don't answer, and think that he is stealing chickens and dogs and harming people......"
Song You thought about it, and then he understood what was going on-
There is no cat in this world that can restrain its desire to guard people to go to the toilet, even if people are not allowed to see, they have to go secretly, there is this misunderstanding, a different angle, it is also interesting.
"In the Lower Song Dynasty, a mountain man in Lingquan County, Yizhou, has seen the Taoist."
"Meow Meow~"
"Beishan Daoist, I have seen Taoist friends." Beishan Daoren glanced at the cat beside Song You again, "The little cat demon raised by Daoyou, why don't you make a mark?" If something goes wrong, it's a big misunderstanding! ”
"She's a companion under it."
"......" Beishan Daoist narrowed his eyes again, "Dare to ask Daoist friends which Taoist temple is practicing?" ”
"Yin Yang Mountain, Fulong Temple."
"No wonder ......"
"How does the Daoist know?"
"Although the 'Liubu Wind' is only a poor Dao casually, but in the whole world, there are probably not many Taoists who can break it with one breath. Coupled with Lingquan County, Yizhou, which is not called a poor road, it is easy to associate with the famous Fulong Temple. Beishan Daoren said, "This generation of heirs has come out again?" ”
"Dare to ask the Dao Chief, but you are practicing in the Floating Cloud Temple?"
"How do you know?"
"On the way here, I heard an old man say that there are really masters in Fuyunguan, who like to subdue demons and eliminate demons, solve problems for people, and have advanced and profound Taoism, and their means are like immortals, so I came to visit."
"That's a real fate."
"It's fate."
"Please please ......"
After walking a short distance, I found that this place is actually very close to the floating cloud view.
The Floating Cloud View is an orthodox Taoist temple, and unlike the Fulong Temple, their willingness to subdue demons and eliminate demons may be higher. Monsters shouldn't have come to the road of the world easily, not to mention running to the door of someone's house, and they still want to do bad things at a glance, no wonder the first thing people do when they meet is to question, and they don't let them leave easily.
It's just that the wronged Sanhua Niangniang was frightened.
The two of them walked towards the Taoist temple with a cat and a horse.
The floating cloud temple is built on a hill, the green trees are like trees, just under the mountain gate, there is a long stone staircase, leading straight to the gate of the Taoist temple. The whole Taoist temple is also more into a courtyard, to a higher level, so looking up there is also a sense of elegance, such as looking at a mountain.
"Song Daoyou, please!"
"I don't know where I'm going to go when I go out?"
"I was going to Pingzhou."
"To Pingzhou?"
"yes."
"That's a long way off."
Song You was a little surprised.
I came from Pingzhou and walked slowly, and I walked for nearly two months, and this person was so empty-handed, it looked like he was only going around the neighborhood, but he didn't expect to go to Pingzhou.
"Hahaha, our Taoist temple is different from Fulongguan, from here to Pingzhou, which Taoist temples and poor Taoists on the road are very clear, even if they are not familiar, they should have heard the name of my Fuyun Temple, poor Taoist only needs to rush to a Taoist temple every day to rest, naturally there is food and accommodation." The people of Beishan Dao raised their heads and laughed, and then said, "A few days ago, I heard that someone in Pingzhou met a fairy on Yunding Mountain again, and this time it sounded different from the past, so I wanted to see if there was really an immortal, or a monster from where, pretending to be a ghost and delaying people for a year." ”
“……”
"Where did Daoyou come from?"
"From Pingzhou."
"There is fate, there is fate."
The people of Beishan Daoist walked to the Taoist temple, and with a wave of his hand, the mountain gate opened with a bang.
Song You stopped and took a look——
There is a plaque above the head, and there is no writing.
On both sides are written the door couplet:
The world in the pot is close to the sky;
The smoke in the cave is idle during the day.
Stepping into the threshold, the bluestone is paved inside, the fallen leaves are not swept, the Taoist walks slowly, and the breeze is elegant and quiet.
An ancient tree in the middle is the finishing touch, but its pavilion cover should have covered the entire outer courtyard, but now it has lost its vitality due to poor care, leaving only the withered yellow branches and the sky, which is somewhat regrettable.
