The night in the mountains is so quiet.

There is only a slight sound of water and licking.

"Whoa......

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"

The fox demon is still sitting on the willow tree, sometimes shaking his legs, whiter than the moon shadow in the water, stirring up the splash, and sometimes leaning down to pluck a handful of water from the lake, let it slip, everything is self-care, like a small animal in the mountains playing in the water, but in a gesture, but it is not as beautiful as words, and it seems to be deliberate.

It's just that the Taoist next to him only closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.

The cat also lay on its stomach, lowered its head and licked seriously in the bowl, raised its head from time to time, narrowed its eyes, and was stunned for a while, I don't know whether it was intoxicated or confused, and after a while, it continued to lower its head and lick a few more bites in the bowl.

He turned his head to look at his Taoist priest, then at the fox, and then looked around for the fox's tail.

"Hoo ......"

The mountain breeze blows, with an early spring chill.

The originally warm body suddenly cooled, and I couldn't help but shiver on the spot, and when I lowered my head and drank the mash, I didn't step on it steadily, and my body shook to the side, but I quickly maintained my balance, so that I wouldn't fall to the ground with a chirp, but I touched the small bowl containing the mash.

The small bowl with a little mash was immediately poured aside.

The good news is that the bowl is placed on the ground.

The royal sky-high bowl will not be broken.

The bad news is that next to it is the bed of myself and the Taoist priest, where the wool felt and wool blanket are located.

The mash was immediately soaked.

“！”

Worst!

Sanhua Niangniang's whole cat was visibly stunned, turned her head and looked at the wool felt in a daze, and retracted her gaze to stare at the small bowl that had been dumped, due to the decrease in reaction power after poisoning, after a while, panic appeared on her, and quickly stretched out her paws to straighten the small bowl, and then hurriedly pounced, frantically using two paws to make a water-holding action on the wool felt, looking like that, she actually wanted to hold the mash soup that had been poured on the wool felt and had penetrated into it.

Not to mention whether the cat's paws can hold water, where can the water that can penetrate into it.

Naturally, only the air can be reached.

Rao is like this, she also held it several times, and then she came to her senses, and hurriedly used her claws to plan, struggling to plan.

It's better now, at least the grains of rice are cut off.

“……”

The three-flowered cat stopped its movements for a while, slowly sobered up and slowly came back to its senses, but sat down on the spot, first looked down at the small bowl that was almost empty, and then turned its head, looking at the wool felt that was still relatively moist and exuding the smell of mash, this was an old man who had been with them for many years, his expression was dull, and he turned his head to look at his Taoist priest.

His own Taoist priest still crossed his knees and closed his eyes, and the aura and aura of heaven and earth gathered around him.

Then he turned his head to look at the fox.

The fox is still playing in the water, and the movements are weird.

After a few sipping of water, he picked up the flask placed on the branch next to him, and raised his head to the moon to drink.

It doesn't seem to be noticeable either.

“……”

Sanhua Niangniang suddenly snorted, turned into a human form, and carefully crawled over, wrung up the wool felt, and wrung it out, while thinking quickly.

The Taoist priest had already told her that the mash soup was poisonous, and if she drank it, it would be like a person drinking wine, and it would ruin things, and told her not to be greedy for a cup, but she was so proud that she didn't listen.

You've got to figure out a way.

"The Taoist is so majestic, just sitting here and not moving, he scared a group of ghosts."

The voice of a fox came from the side.

Sanhua Niangniang was taken aback suddenly, and thought she was talking about herself, but after listening carefully, she glanced at the fox again, and saw that she was still looking up and drinking, and did not look at herself, and her own Taoist priest was still sitting there motionless, as if she hadn't heard, so she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to work hard to wring out the wool felt.

"I don't mean to."

The Taoist priest's voice came out after a while.

Sanhua Niangniang was suddenly startled again, and hurriedly let go of the wool felt and sat back in place in a proper manner.

"The Taoist chief is not afraid that they will return to Yeshan and inform the national teacher that if they meet a god man on the road, has the national teacher been prepared?" The woman sank her feet into the water, rippled, and turned her head to look at the Taoist, "Or did the Daoist deliberately let the national teacher know that the Daoist was coming, so that when it came to Yeshan, let the national teacher come to greet the Taoist, so as not to be blocked by the army, and have to go through the trouble of reporting the name?" ”

Hearing this, the Taoist finally opened his eyes and looked at the woman, who was white in the moonlight:

"Do you also feel that Yeshan is tired?"

"Didn't the Taoist just think that Yeshan was tired, so he went straight to Yeshan?" The woman did not answer directly, but asked a rhetorical question.

"Thoughtful and thoughtful."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Every time she hears a cat word, Sanhua Niangniang's ears tremble.

At this moment, there was a movement in the distance.

The maid came back from the darkness.

"There are so few monsters here, and I searched for a long time before I found a few mountain demons." The maid walked over and said, "I haven't heard that a big demon has passed by here, and I haven't seen a white rhino or a dragon, but I heard that the Yinjiang River has made waves for no reason, pushing forward layer by layer, it is estimated that there is a big demon passing underwater, I suspect it may be a dragon." ”

"Got it."

The woman replied calmly.

"I also heard that the land route to Zijun was broken, and it was cut off by the flood last year, so I can only take the waterway to go to Zijun."

"How many days are left?"

"It is said that it is 700 miles into Zijun, and we have come to the same place, but Zijun is very remote, the road is not easy to walk, and Zijun is very large, mostly barren mountains, chickens do not lay eggs, birds do not, few people go, it is estimated that there is still about ten days to go to Zijun." The maid said, "If the Taoist chief doesn't want us to go to Yeshan, we will stop at Zijun to see if we can contact our old friends. ”

"Ten days."

"Hmmm......"

The maid nodded, then walked to the side, walked in front of Sanhua Niangniang, and immediately smiled, like teasing a child, and asked with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while, Sanhua Niangniang's mash soup has been drunk?" But another bowl? I'll pour it for you again! ”

saw the little girl staring up at her with a serious expression, and then turned her head to look at the fox and the Taoist priest over there.

"Brush!"

The little girl held out her hand and spread it out.

There is a row of black in the palm of the hand.

The fox's eyes are good at night, and when I look closely at the bright moon, it is a row of copper coins, about four or five.

"Huh? Do? ”

The maid was stunned for a moment, and stared down at her.

The little girl didn't say a word, but just sent her hand forward.

"For me?"

The little girl still didn't speak, just nodded.

The maid smiled and reached out to take it.

"Sanhua Niangniang is too polite."

“……”

Without saying a word, the little girl turned back into a cat, staggered a few steps on the grass, ran to the wool felt and got into the bed, and fell asleep.

"Looks like we're going to be separated from the Daoist soon." Miss Wanjiang shook her head and said, "I have been trapped in Changjing for nearly ten years, and since I came out of Changjing, I have walked with the Taoist chief, I don't have to play the fairy in the hearts of Changjing scholars, I don't have to deal with those ignorant animals in the wild, and I don't have to hide my identity as a monster, it's really the most comfortable time." ”

“……”

The Taoist sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and did not answer.

The fox demon knew that he was practicing, and he didn't care, he just took care of himself and did his own thing, scooping the water and moon in his hand, making flowers and fragrant clothes, raising a glass to invite Mingyue, why should he be a man.

As the night progresses, the moon will sink.

The chill in the mountains grew stronger.

The fox demon who was good at wine finally finished drinking, and as soon as he held the trunk of the tree with his hand, the whole person flew up as if he had no weight, and returned to the carriage.

Soon, the Taoist also opened his eyes and walked back to the mattress.

Under the bright moon was a dead tree, and on the branch stood a swallow, sleeping very vigilantly, and glanced at him, and next to him lay a red horse, and the cat was cowering in the corner of the bed, motionless.

The Taoist lifted the blanket and slipped in.

"Why is there such a heavy smell of mash on the felt, did Sanhua Niangniang spill the mash soup?"

“！”

The three-flowered cat suddenly looked at the carriage, raised its head, but turned its head to look at the carriage over there.

The maid in the carriage was smiling and taking out five copper plates, just wanted to tell her master that the three-flowered cat gave it to her, I don't know why it was given to her, and when she heard the words from the side, she was stunned.

“！”

With suspicion in his heart, he lifted the curtain and looked out.

The man's floor was a short distance from their carriage, not too far, and the cat's eyes seemed to glow in the moonlight, staring straight at her.

“……”

The maid blinked, her expression was slightly stiff, but she also reacted quickly: "Yes, it's me, I made it, I'm really sorry for the Taoist, when the slave family was pouring the mash for Sanhua Niangniang before, he spilled a little bit of the Daoist's felt with a shaking hand, and asked the Daoist to forgive me......"

The cat nodded, retracting its gaze.

The Taoist looked at her, then at the carriage over there, shook his head and smiled, didn't say anything, lay down and closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

As soon as I woke up the next day, I continued on my way.

Zijun is really remote.

This remoteness is both geographically and commercially humane.

Zijun only borders Yaozhou, but there are many dangerous roads, and there are often tigers, leopards and jackals, and there are better roads to Yaozhou, so even if people go to Yaozhou, they will not choose to pass from Zijun.

Since ancient times, it has been a bleak place, the land is vast but barren, the population is not large, there is no business, there is no specialty, and there is no scenery, so outsiders do not want to come, and even the magistrates have to make some mistakes to be transferred here, it can be said that very few people come out, and very few people go in, so that although its location is not remote, there is a sense of loneliness.

If it weren't for the chance to know about Yeshan, even if Song You traveled the world and walked through Fengzhou, there was a high probability that he would bypass Zijun through the Yinjiang River and go straight to Fengzhou.

And Yinnan County is the most remote and barren place in the entire Zi County, and similarly, if you don't know Ye Mountain in advance, even if the Taoist enters Zi County, there is a high probability that you will not go to Yin Nan.
