However, after the national teacher left, Song You frowned.

The evolution of the Heavenly Dao, the difficulty of people dying and becoming ghosts has decreased slightly, the probability has increased slightly, there are countless dead people in the north and the border, and because there are many people in the border army who are strong in martial arts and unwilling to die, and there are many people who are resentful in vain death on the border, there should be many ghosts in the north and the border. He was escorted to Fengzhou by the Taoist monks and old ghosts under the command of the national teacher to avoid chaos everywhere, so some people saw the terrifying scene of a hundred ghosts walking at night.

Toyosu Yeshan imprisoned a large number of yin ghosts, so there was a ghost face grass.

Everything seems to make sense.

Even General Chen's dream has an explanation-

The conduct of the soldiers in the army in these years is uneven, and no matter how good the generals are, they have to make trade-offs, and sometimes they will selectively ignore them for the sake of combat strength and to defend the country.

Some of the soldiers of the border army were self-assured of force and misconduct, and after being escorted to Yeshan in Fengzhou, they inevitably fought with the Taoist monks and old ghosts under the national teacher, and they were suppressed and punished, and even killed.

Yeshan is the junction of the underworld and the yang, and it is the place where the ghost city of the underworld is located.

Song You has never been to the north or Fengzhou, and he doesn't know much about the national teacher's plans, so it's really hard to find fault.

It's just that there is also something awkward in my heart.

“……”

The Taoist shook his head, hoping that when the scholar ghost returned, he would bring back some useful information.

If you can't think of it, you won't want to think about it for the time being.

Turn around and call the three flower girls and make a fire to cook.

……

More than half a month later, General Chen came again.

The talisman given by Song You did not work, and he still dreamed from time to time that the soldiers who had fought side by side were burned by fire and called for help to him. And even if he was invincible in the battlefield, he could not do anything about the illusion in his dream, so he had to send a secret order to the north and order his subordinates to investigate the matter strictly.

Song You had no choice but to persuade him to be relieved, chatting with him by the way, and inadvertently asking about those soldiers.

The answer is not so easy to say.

General Chen is known for his strict management of the army, but his subordinates are not all good at stubble, both the mountain bandits and thieves who have been recruited, and the warriors of the rivers and lakes who have come to defect, he can only ensure that these people are strictly restrained after defecting to him, as for how many bad things he did before defecting to himself, if he worries about these, there will be no invincible elite soldiers.

In addition, these people are really brave and ruthless, and it is estimated that they are not good at stubble when they become ghosts.

Immediately after talking about some things in the north, General Chen left.

Song You is very patient and not in a hurry at all.

In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The scholar ghost did not return.

The Neighbor Woman didn't come back either.

However, Changjing quickly became lively.

There is a lantern festival at night during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Changjing is a lively city that never sleeps, and today it has become more lively - since half a month ago, some shops began to set up shelves at the door, and today, it seems that everyone has been looking forward to tonight's sunset since the morning of waking up, especially those literati and ladies, who are used to hearing the stories of the lantern festival, and I am afraid that they will start practicing at home after noon.

The Taoist had a free afternoon, slept all afternoon, woke up and had dinner, and it was already dusk.

The sky slowly darkened, by the moonlight, you can see the willow branches in front of the house, the ancient buildings are connected into a piece, the bright moon hangs on the eaves, and the yellow round has not changed for thousands of years.

There was a soft reading voice behind him:

"Look up at the bright moon......

"Bow your head and miss your hometown......"

Sanhua Niangniang's voice is really good.

Song You couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this.

Slowly, it seems that I can't tell which is my hometown, whether it is the brightly lit city or the pure Taoist temple on the mountain. Helplessly, time has never been merciless, and after leaving for a long time, not only the brightly lit city has long been blurred in memory, but it is difficult to come up with details even if you think carefully, and even the grass and trees on Yin Yang Mountain have begun to be a little blurred.

“……”

Song You shook his head, turned his head to look at the three-flowered cat behind him who was lying on the bed staring at the tile roof, with a wagging tail and reading poems in his mouth, and shouted:

"Sanhua Niangniang."

“！”

The sound of reading stopped instantly, and the tail stopped moving.

The three-flowered cat turned its head and stared at him, but it didn't say anything.

"Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a lantern festival by the Dongcheng River, and now the sky is slowly getting dark." Song You continued, "Why don't we go out for a walk too?" ”

"Where to go?"

"Go to the Lantern Festival."

"Is it fun?"

"It's lively, with lots of lights."

"If you go, I'll go."

"Then will the three flower girls become a human or a cat?" Song You asked this sentence again, and he also said at the temple fair, "If you become a human, you can follow me, and if you become a cat, you may be stepped on." ”

"That's it."

"Let's go, then."

Song You smiled at her and got up to go downstairs.

Dou's painting still hangs on the wall, but the people of Changjing haven't come to fight for it for a while.

When the neighbor woman was there, she was well-informed, and she often came over to talk about the movements of Changjing Jianghu when she was cold at night, and told him how to spread him outside and what he thought. Now that Wu Nuxia has gone to Fengzhou, Song You doesn't know if they are planning any other plans.

But he didn't really care.

After going out, there were a lot of people on the road, and they all seemed to be in the same direction, such a grand scene reminded him of the time when the curfew was just lifted in the first half of the year.

In half a year, Changjing has settled down a lot.

"Sanhua Niangniang be careful."

"Sanhua Niangniang is very powerful."

"Maybe ......"

Song You walked forward with the flow of people, and the three-flowered cat followed behind him.

The street is full of people who come out to admire the moon and lanterns, the ground is full of shaking legs and feet, the three-flower cat is agile, carefully avoiding pedestrians on the road, and pedestrians also avoid her. From time to time there was an exclamation, or someone asked which cat was running on the road, and sometimes she would meet rude people, but she seemed to have been used to it, so she didn't know, didn't hear, and continued to walk.

Sanhua Niangniang is really capable.

However, it is not easy to avoid so many legs and feet and shuttle among them, and it is really difficult and troublesome to identify which one is your own Taoist priest from so many legs, feet and robes.

Suddenly, the Taoist stopped.

The three-flowered cat is still skillfully shuttling among the many legs and feet, and the small broken steps have taken many steps in a blink of an eye, but as they walked, they habitually looked up, but they couldn't find the familiar legs and feet.

“？”

The cat was stunned and stopped.

Then he hurriedly raised his head, looked left and right, and tried to find his own Taoist priest from the crowd.

Then there are crowds, all strangers, where is the figure of their own Taoist priest?

"Sanhua Niangniang."

The voice of a Taoist priest came from behind him.

The three-flowered cat suddenly turned its head to look.

I saw that the Taoist had run behind him at some point, and was standing still, lowering his head, looking at her intently: "Sanhua Niangniang is very tired walking like this, why don't I hug Sanhua Niangniang?" ”

“？”

The cat stared straight at him, with no expression on its little face, not knowing what to think.

After a while, she slowly walked back to the Taoist's feet, and as soon as she lifted her upper body, she stood upright and pressed her two front paws on the Taoist's calves.

The Taoist bent down and picked her up.

One man and one cat continue to move on.

The cat's body is warm and soft, but after holding it in its arms, it is not as light as imagined, weak and boneless, and will slip from the arms if you are not careful, but it is real, you can feel her weight and bones.

"Is that comfortable?"

"Meow?"

The three-flowered cat turned around and stared at the Taoist.

"I used to watch other people learn how to hold cats, if it makes Sanhua Niangniang uncomfortable, just adjust it." The Taoist said.

“……”

The three-flowered cat withdrew its gaze and instead pressed it to his chest, looking around at the pedestrians on the street.

The closer you get to the river, the more lively it becomes.

Selling snacks, jewelry, lanterns, and acrobatics, smoke and light mixed with pedestrians like water, cheers mixed with laughter, constituted the grand festival of this era.

This scene is a bit like the original temple fair.

However, the original temple fair was during the day, mainly for commodity procurement, and other things were just lively additions. At this time, the lantern festival is at night, and the main purpose is entertainment, and the other commodity trading, acrobatic performances, operas, songs and dances are just for better entertainment, and they are replaced.

Suddenly, I heard a cry in the distance.

There was a crowd of people on that side.

Song You looked down and saw that the Sanhua Niangniang in his arms stretched her neck, turned her head to stare straight over there, her eyes were full of curiosity, so she walked over and whispered at the same time:

"If you want to go anywhere and what you want to see, just tell me."

"Meow ......"

A man and a cat walked out of the crowd.

Stand on tiptoe and look inside.

It's the strange people of the rivers and lakes who are playing tricks.

A middle-aged man with a full beard and a beard was talking to the officials around him about the convenience of begging for money, and drew a woman on the wall next to him with a pen, and then picked up a bowl of wine to feed to the woman on the wall.

A bowl full of wine, poured into the wall, and it really disappeared, neither flowing down nor seeping into the wall.

After a while, I saw the woman's face flushed.

The officials were amazed, and they all applauded and cheered.

There were copper coins bouncing all over the ground.

Song You obviously felt that the cat in his arms was strange, and glanced at her again, but found that the cat lowered its head and stared at the copper plate on the ground without blinking, so that Song You had a feeling - if he didn't hold her or didn't come out with her, the cat might have gone in to pick it up.

After a while, the painting on the wall faded.

After a while, it was completely gone.

Immediately, there was some discussion among the onlookers on the sidelines.

Song You listened carefully and turned his head to look.

It's a few scholars, and two monks who are familiar with each other came out to enjoy the lanterns, it sounds like the monk also knows some spells, and he likes to perform for everyone to see on weekdays. I didn't know what I said just now, so my friend coaxed him to go out and perform for a while. How could the monk steal the limelight from others, and repeatedly shirked it, but he couldn't shirk it, and the middle-aged man who had performed before also smiled generously and invited him, so he had to walk out.

He is a slightly chubby, smiling monk.

After coming out, first salute the middle-aged man who originally performed, say a few polite words to avoid others getting angry, and then say that he also has some skills, and wants to borrow the treasure to perform for everyone to see, add some joy, and the money obtained belongs to the middle-aged man who originally performed, eliminating the meaning of the competition, only talking about communication.

I saw the monk walk to the wall where the tricksters had painted before, leaning against the wall, smiling at everyone, and then retreating and sticking the whole person to the wall.

At this time it is night, and the place is lit by torches, and it is said that it is not bright, and it is not dark when it is dark.

You can see clearly, but you can't see clearly.

The figure of the monk blurred for a while, and it seemed to slowly disappear into the wall, and when the onlookers reacted, there was only a painting of the monk left on the wall, which was vivid, as if it were a real person.

The monk is gone.

The onlookers exclaimed again.

The three-flowered cat also opened its eyes wide in the Taoist's arms, and kept turning its head from side to side, trying to find the trace of the monk.

After a while, the painting slowly faded as well.

"Good job!"

"Be rewarded!"

"What about people?"

The ground was clanging, and there was the sound of money.

"Meow?"

“……”

Song You turned around with the three-flowered cat in his arms.

Sure enough, the monk walked out of a cloth shop behind him, and by this time the portrait of the monk on the wall had faded away.

……
