In the first few days of the new year, guests often come.

The first is the late river girl of Hexian Tower.

In fact, after visiting the Yuqu River in autumn before, she also came to visit a few times, or brought a pot of wine and some snacks, or sent some fruits that are not easy to buy on the market, chatted with him about some demons and fairies, or sighed a few words about the princess, in short, some things that are not easy to talk to other people.

The powerful princess really didn't come to disturb Song You, but she also asked Miss Wanjiang to bring a letter to Eli Lilly, and the letter contained a bunch of kind words.

Cui Nanxi came, and so did General Chen.

Including the city god came again.

There are also some dignitaries and dignitaries who don't have much intersection, and they also bring gifts, saying that they are here to celebrate the New Year.

Song You said goodbye to them one by one.

As for the gifts......

Some gifts are not easy to receive, and some are difficult to refuse, but even if they are accepted, most of them cannot be taken away. Some of the ones that could be taken away were even very clever and appropriate, and Song You didn't want to take them away. I didn't want to sell them for money, so I had to pile them up in this room.

After a few days, some of the people of Changjing who had helped him also came, grateful for his good deeds, and often brought some small gifts, these gifts were very real, and most of them could be entered.

Someone even sent preserved eggs bought in Dongcheng.

But it's also a burden—

Since last month, Song You has been deliberately cleaning up the things in his home, not to mention the bacon and kimchi, if you can't finish eating it, you can leave it to the neighbor next door, eggs, rice, noodles, sauce and vinegar are to be cleaned up, but the old ones haven't been eaten yet, and someone has sent a new one, which is really helpless.

So much so that sometimes Song You also feels in a trance, it turns out that he has helped so many people in such a lazy year.

Until the seventh day of the first lunar month, Song You was still eating eggs sent by a woman.

But another woman brought food.

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

Song You finally sent the woman away, but saw a lame middle-aged Taoist standing outside the door, followed by a Taoist boy, carrying a small bag of gifts.

The middle-aged Taoist priest looked at him, and immediately saluted and smiled:

"Fellow Daoists are merciful."

"The national teacher is also here."

"It seems that Daoyou has been very busy lately." The national teacher walked in with a smile, and after a few talks, the two sides became familiar with each other a lot, "I have been busy since the beginning of spring, and I didn't come to congratulate Daoyou on the New Year until today, and I hope that Daoyou don't feel poor and slack." ”

The national teacher laughed. Song You smiled helplessly, "It's funny to say, I've been idle in Changjing, but I didn't expect it to be very busy recently." ”

"Since you arrived in Changjing, you have often helped the people of the capital, and it is reasonable for someone to come to celebrate the New Year, which shows that the people of my Dayan have not forgotten the courtesy." The national teacher said and smiled, "Poor Daoist knows that Daoist friends don't like these things, so he only brought a bag of spices, and he wants to use them when he comes, and I hope that Daoist friends will not refuse." ”

"Thank you, National Teacher."

"In addition to congratulatory gifts, I also brought a trust from His Majesty and a piece of news."

"Oh?"

"Last year's harvest in Changjing, thanks to Daoyou, Your Majesty wants to invite Daoyou to the palace as a guest, and personally express your gratitude, I don't know if you are willing?"

"Good intentions, it's just that I'm going to leave Changjing in a short time, and during the rest of this time, I still want to walk around the capital, take a look, and make some preparations, so I ask the national teacher to reply to Your Majesty for me."

"Then Your Majesty will blame the poor for his poor eloquence." The national teacher smiled and didn't persuade him much, but said, "There is one more piece of news, but it is good news." ”

"What's the good news?"

"Dayan now has a population of nearly 20,000, and there are many people and little land, and many people can no longer afford to eat just by relying on the harvest in the fields. A few days ago, news came from Xuzhou, Anqing Yanxian appeared, saying that it was brought back from overseas to bring back a higher yield than the original Oriental rice yield, to be planted by the people of Anqing, after the state officials learned, they had been on the court, His Majesty was overjoyed after hearing it, and had issued an order to invite Yanxian to Beijing. The national teacher said, "I heard that Yan Xian was instructed by Daoyou, and he can be regarded as the old friend of Daoyou." ”

"Advice, just advice."

"This is a great achievement."

"It's all Yan Xian's work."

"This natural ......" the national teacher listened thoughtfully, "but Yan Xian has promised to enter Beijing, and he should come in a few days, and the poor Dao must inform Yan Xian first and ask him to come and catch up with his fellow Daoists." ”

Song You looked at the national teacher and asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty and the national teacher think?" ”

"Since ancient times, the gods have achieved meritorious deeds, and if the good seeds retrieved by Yan Xian can really solve the urgent needs of the people of Dayan, the natural merit is immeasurable." The national teacher paused as he spoke, "Speaking of which, although An Qing Yanxian once committed the crime of stealing grain from the official warehouse, it was also for the relief of the victims, and it should not have been punished. If the good seed is useful, it is another miracle work, and it should be crowned a god. ”

After speaking, the national teacher paused:

"As for this merit, hehe, Taoist friends don't need to worry, the gods who rely on the merit they have snatched will not last long after all, if any god can do this kind of thing, it should also fall off the altar."

"The national teacher is wise."

When the national teacher heard this, he just looked at Song You with a smile: "I don't know this, are you still satisfied?" ”

Song You also nodded, and said lightly: "With the words of the national teacher, I will be relieved." ”

There is nothing to be embarrassed about, although this matter is said that he promised Lao Yanxian, but it should also be like this - if someone in this Changjing really dares to seize this merit and achieve the divine position, or if there is really a god in the sky who can do something to seize the merit to consolidate the divine position, Song You can only say that he is troublesome in managing the affairs of the world, but if he leaves the world, it is what he is good at.

"The mortal world should not have much contact with immortals, demons and ghosts, in the past, the imperial court enshrined the gods, and it would not really ask the heroic spirit demon fairy to receive the decree, but Your Majesty invited Yan Xian to come this time, which shows Your Majesty's attention."

"Your Majesty is also a wise man."

"yes." The national teacher nodded, "After that, it should be the same as the previous introduction of oriental rice, try to plant a land, and if the harvest is good, it will be implemented on a pilot basis, and then slowly spread throughout the country, it will take some time." ”

"That's not what I'm good at."

"Daoist friends are humble, ......"

"Just tell the truth."

"I just heard that Daoyou is leaving Changjing."

"That's right." Song You said, "Since you have traveled all over the world, you naturally can't stay in one place all the time, and the harvest in Changjing is enough, just wait for the next time." ”

"Where are you going?"

"I can't hide it, I'm a lazy person below, but I haven't thought about it until now." Song You paused and raised his eyes to look at the national teacher, "But for now, it's really the same wherever you go." Maybe when you get out of Changjing City, you will naturally know which way to go, in this case, why worry in advance, it is better to go with the flow. ”

"Daoyou's mind is really different from ours."

"The national teacher thinks, which way to go down?"

"Since it is a matter of following the wishes of Taoist friends and going with the flow, it is not easy for poor people to talk too much." The national teacher's expression was also very calm, and then he said, "It's just that Daoist friends will return to Changjing on this trip, whether they go north to south or east, and when they come back, Changjing will probably change a little." ”

"And it just goes with the flow."

"Hahaha......"

The national teacher chatted with him for a while, drank a pot of tea, and then took his leave, dragging a pair of lame legs away.

Song You got up indifferently, went to wash the teapot and teacup, and didn't open the gift sent by the national teacher, just put it on the gift piled up on the side, and then didn't care about it.

In the next few days, fewer people came.

Song You still goes out every day to hang out and see the various states of Changjing, shopping in the east market, and shopping in the west market.

The quilt bag has been taken out and placed upstairs, he and Sanhua Niangniang put a little thing in it every day, and only put a little thing in it every day, never put too much, so that they will not be in a hurry to prepare without giving them a sense of hurry, and so as not to forget in a hurry.

Song You wanted to wait until Lao Yanxian and wait until he left.

Before you know it, it's the end of the first month.

The people of Changjing were like the people of the rivers and lakes at the Anqing Liujiang Conference, and they all raised their heads and looked at a group of birds flying overhead.

"What kind of bird is that?"

"It looks like a swallow."

"Swallows? Where did the swallows come from so early? ”

However, they were even more surprised than the Jianghu warriors at the Liujiang Conference at the beginning - the Jianghu people at that time were in Anqing, standing on Yanxian Terrace, and knew that there were Yanxian in Anqing, but the people of Changjing at this time did not know the existence of Yanxian, only knew that there were no swallows in Changjing at this time.

Not necessarily in shock.

At the beginning, the people in the rivers and lakes saw a lot of gods, ghosts and monsters, and they were not too surprised to know that the swallows in the sky were unusual, but the people of Changjing didn't see much, but they didn't think that this was a monster or fairy, they only felt that it was a kind of vision.

But Changjing is more than just a mortal.

There is Tianhai Temple in the city, and there are many monks in the temple who have Taoism, and there are also monks from other places who place orders here. There is also a Juxian Mansion in the city, which was built by the national teacher, and it gathered people from all over the country who practiced Xuanmen. There is also a city god in the city god temple, several priests, and there are many demons and ghosts in the city.

When the swallow flew by, all those who sensed it looked up, some were vigilant, some were amazed, some were afraid, and some were emotional.

The thousand-year-old Yanxian has entered Beijing.

……

That night, Song You sat at the table, and the three-flowered cat squatted at the door, only giving him a back, and his tail wagging from side to side.

It was pitch black outside, and I didn't know what it was looking at.

Suddenly, the cat raised its head.

The night sky is quiet, with no stars or moons.

The cat seemed to see something.

"Taoist priest."

I saw that the cat immediately turned its head and said to the Taoist behind him: "The swallow you are waiting for is here!" ”

"Come back."

The three-flowered cat immediately turned around and ran back, sat beside him, and continued to look outside.

"Thank you, Sanhua Niang."

Song You bowed his head and said to her.

When he looked up again, there were already several more figures in the doorway.

At the head was an old man, tall and thin, with silver hair and wrinkled face, as if the wind had blown him down. He was followed by several young men and women, all tall and thin, each of whom was extremely good-looking.

The cat glanced at several young men and women.

Song You's gaze also swept over the juniors behind Yan Xian, and then he looked at Old Yan Xian and got up to greet him:

"Yan Xian, long time no see."

"Sir......"

Lao Yanxian hurriedly walked in, his face was full of emotion, and he made a salute as he walked, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said, "How should the old man thank him?" ”

"I don't dare to accept such a big gift from Yan Xian." Song You said to him, "Yan Xian don't want to say much, please sit down quickly." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Old Yanxian sat down.

Several juniors stood behind him and quietly aimed at Song You.

"It's too late today, so I won't invite Yanxian to drink tea, so please drink a glass of water." Song You poured a glass of water for Lao Yanxian, and then the first thing he said was, "Why haven't you seen Yan An?" ”

"Sir, don't worry, Yan An is fine, it's just that they are scattered to search, and it is difficult to communicate with each other, some have returned, and some have not returned." Lao Yanxian said, "Lao Yu can feel it, at this time Yan An is still searching overseas, and when he comes back, Lao Yu will definitely ask him to come to see Mr. immediately." ”

"I see."

Song You breathed a sigh of relief and continued to look at Yan Xian.

At the beginning, Anqing said goodbye, and now three years have passed, and I am a little embarrassed to see you at this time.

This old Yan Immortal is a little older again.
