"As the saying goes, the face is born from the heart, this old man looks like a philanthropic person, and his posture and bearing between walks are also extraordinary. Song You said and looked at the young official with a smile, "Do you think that this old man is a fairy?" ”

"Alas......"

The young official just sighed and did not answer, but shook his head and said: "I heard that people on earth go to heaven to become immortals after death, and before they reach the heavenly palace, they are not immortals, but like ghosts. It's just that there are more changes than ordinary ghosts, and they are not afraid of the sun. Only those who know how to practice and have mana before they are alive will have other supernatural powers before they take office. He also said that after the story spread a hundred years ago, there were immortals who were disturbed on the way to the appointment of the Venerable Mountain, which delayed the trip at least and entangled at the worst, so many immortals would dress up in disguise on the way to office, so that people could not see it, and even took advantage of the night to go. ”

"Looks like we've done a lot of homework."

"It's all about people." The young official shook his head embarrassedly, "I heard that the Fengzhou Dilong turned over before, causing the Yinjiang River to be cut off, and the river flowed back to its original path, and it was only returned a day later, and the villages and cities along the Yinjiang River were affected to varying degrees, all the way to Yaozhou." Under the catastrophe, people with great virtues have emerged, and they have been set up temples under the gratitude of the people, so that there should be many immortals who went to the heavenly palace in April and a half this year. ”

Song You couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and felt funny: "The foot analysis is so thoughtful, why don't you ask the old man, where is it?" ”

"Sir, really not an immortal?"

"Do immortals also lie?"

"I don't know."

"Do the immortals of Yizhou also ascend to heaven from Venerable Mountain?"

"I don't know."

"Thanks to the blessings of our feet, we know a lot of wonderful things, and we find it interesting to hear, and we dare not deceive our feet. In the lower world, he is a mortal person, not an immortal. Song You said to him with a smile, "If you want to find immortals, you still have to look elsewhere." ”

"You don't have to force it." The young official smiled brightly and replied to him, "Although most of the people who have come to climb Venerable Mountain recently want to get some immortal blessings and seek health and longevity, it is different below. I just want to see things that I can't see in ordinary days, whether it's walking with a virtuous immortal, or walking with a free and easy master like Mr., it's the same. Life is short for 30,000 days, and it is content to be able to see things that ordinary people can't see. ”

"Then I will definitely pass by the gods today."

"It's a pity that with a pair of naked eyes, I can't recognize the true immortal."

The young official said self-deprecatingly while still looking at the Taoist, and from time to time he made eye contact with the girl who turned around.

There was only one way up the mountain, and the two of them were about the same speed, so if they didn't deliberately avoid it, they would have to walk together for a while. Just like the old man behind him who seemed to be a fairy, he was behind them before, and after walking for a while, he was still by their side, and he was also watching the scenery while walking.

The young official still looked at Song You quietly.

This Taoist temperament is really out of the dust.

Not only no matter how he climbs the mountain, he will never breathe, his demeanor is calm, and the pace under his feet has not changed, and the young officials can easily walk with him at the beginning, but it will take a little more effort to keep up with them later. And his demeanor is always leisurely, watching the wind and enjoying the scenery, not in a hurry, and he doesn't care whether the boy ran to the front or fell to the rear alone, as if he was not afraid that this incomparably beautiful boy would be abducted.

Sometimes he stopped to wait for the child, or talked to the child, whether it was his eyes, face, tone or gesture, it was a softness that was difficult to see among mortals.

From him, the young official can see a kind of ease and peace of mind from the inside out.

Even the boy was extraordinary.

In addition to being unpretty, every move is also amazingly smart.

Even the horse was extraordinary.

The young official has walked all the way, and he really hasn't seen anyone more like a god than this one.

Is it the other way around?

Everyone in the world knows that the immortals who go to office will change their appearance as mortals and try their best to hide themselves, but he prefers to turn into a Taoist and put on a Taoist robe to dispel the suspicions of the people who travel all the way?

It's just that the young official has noticed this since the mountain gate, and he has seen with his own eyes that he gave a mountain tax of one hundred yuan, but he has never heard of any immortal who went to heaven from here to report to the sky and had to pay the mountain tax.

Could it be deliberate?

Is money conjured?

The young officials walked with them while thinking.

When we reached the halfway point of the mountain, it was already noon, and many tourists who climbed the mountain chose to stop to rest and eat.

When the young official saw that the Taoist took out a boiled egg for his own child, and he took two steamed buns to eat, he ate with clear water, and shared it with Tong'er, and he actually ate it deliciously, and it really didn't look like a god who went to office after a person's death.

The young official brought dried meat and peaches and generously distributed them to the Taoist, who did not refuse, but took them and ate them.

It's even less like an immortal who hasn't taken office.

"Comfortable."

Dao said goodbye.

"Comfort~"

The little girl narrowed her eyes and said along.

It's so cute.

In the afternoon, the sun became more and more scorching, and the mountain breeze blew pleasantly, and many people were hesitating in the mountains whether to continue on the road, and the young official quietly looked at this Taoist, and saw that he was not in a hurry, and found an ancient pine tree that was lush enough to shade the sun, and blew away the dust and broken branches and leaves under the mountain, and then lay down on the spot, and said to the boy that he wanted to take a nap.

Taoists really say sleep when they sleep.

After falling asleep, let the mountain breeze blow on his face, the pine needles cover the quilt, let the climbers walk past him, let the jujube red horse graze beside him, and let the insects and small animals in the mountains crawl around him or even on his body.

The young official had seen the mountain squirrel run to the Taoist's body, the Taoist had no sign of waking up, and the squirrel who should have been timid seemed to be not afraid of him at all, and man and nature had reached a perfect harmony that the young official had never seen at this moment, and in a trance, he felt that the Taoist had integrated into this mountain. It wasn't until the girl turned her head to look at her that the squirrel flew away and climbed up the tree as fast as she could.

The mountain breeze blows the forest, and the world is quiet.

Some small sounds came from the mountains and forests, but they did not interfere with this tranquility at all, but became a quiet embellishment, and it set off the leisurely and comfortable debut person, who seemed to have no worries.

Even the luggage is left on the side of the road, not afraid of theft.

At this time, the young official felt that he was not like an immortal who went to office, but like a real immortal in the world.

Slowly, the young officials seemed to be infected by it, and some of them were sleepy, so they also found a pine tree, sat down with their backs against the tree, held their bags in their arms, fought with their eyelids, and prepared to rest for a while.

When my eyes narrowed, I didn't know how long.

I just know that this sleep is really good and comfortable.

When he noticed that there was a figure shaking in front of him, the young official suddenly opened his eyes, only to see that the Taoist chief surnamed Song had already woken up and was putting his luggage on the back of the horse, looking like he was about to leave.

"Are you going to go? Mr. ”

"yes, I slept so well this night." The Taoist smiled at him, "Seeing that you slept deeply, I didn't dare to call you." ”

"I sleep well below."

"You can squint a little longer."

"Since the gentlemen are all leaving, then let me go too."

The young official hurriedly stood up and patted his head, his head was a little drowsy, which was a common symptom after a nap, but his spirit was exceptionally clear and his body was very comfortable, and even when he looked around, he felt that the scenery in the mountains had become much brighter and clearer.

I didn't go far before I met the old man again.

It seems that the old man has also found a place to rest in the back.

This time, the young official mustered up the courage and went to talk: "At my age, my husband is still walking like a fly when he climbs the mountain, and he walks faster than young people, which is really a good body......

"It's not ...... than before"

The old man talked to him very easily.

So I chatted while walking all the way, and then I learned that this old man's surname is Xiong, he is from Fengzhou, and his family lives on the bank of the Yinjiang River.

When he heard this, the young official almost thought that he was an immortal. However, then I heard that he was practicing martial arts, and he was also famous in the rivers and lakes when he was young, and now although he is not as good as when he was young, he still does not feel tired when he climbs a mountain.

When he came back to his senses, he saw that the Taoist was looking at him with a smile, and he seemed to think it was very interesting.

"Why does the gentleman keep looking at me?"

"I think it's fun to put your foot down."

"What's interesting?"

"I said that I wanted to walk with the immortals because I admired the virtues of the immortals during his lifetime, but when I was looking for the immortals, I only cared about whether he was an immortal or not, and I didn't care about the virtue and cultivation revealed in his words...... I think that Li Gong didn't find the immortal like this a hundred years ago, right? ”

When the young official heard this, he was stunned.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized, so he bowed his hand to Song You: "What Mr. said made me instantly enlightened, ashamed and ashamed......"

"It's just a casual remark, don't mind."

"Whereever, thank you Mr. for waking up."

"There is some offense in the words, but I can not be annoyed and ashamed, I am already open-minded and peaceful, and I can reflect quickly, which is really rare, I might as well do it." Song You also said to him.

"Haha, shame on me......"

This man is also a cheerful and generous person.

Song You smiled and continued to walk up.

After climbing over one mountain after another, about half an afternoon, when I heard the continuous exclamations of the tourists in front of me, climbed to the top of the mountain, and came to the position of the tourists in front of me, the Venerable Mountain appeared in my eyes-

The weather is nice today and you can see the whole Venerable Mountain.

The so-called Venerable Mountain is a stone mountain located on the top of the mountain, as high as dozens of zhang, looking like a standing old man, his hair and beard are very similar, and he is bowing his hands. Although it is also a little bit based on looks and a little bit on imagination, it is also amazing.

At this time, there were clouds on the top of the mountain, and they were pulled by the wind, but they only put a gauze cloak on Venerable Mountain, which did not hide its true face.

"Wow......"

This exclamation sounded from Song You's side.

"There are mountains on the mountain, and they are really like the Venerable, and I don't know if it is the handiwork of the gods, or the magic of nature, magical, really magical." The young official said a few miracles, and said, "I believe that the gods report to the Heavenly Palace from here." ”

After speaking, he looked at the people around him.

I saw that the Taoist didn't say a word, only stood in place with a cane, looking at the stone mountain from a distance, and the little Taoist boy beside him was also very calm, just stretched his neck and stared straight at the Venerable Mountain, his eyes widened, his eyes were more novelty than exclamation, I don't know if he was young and ignorant, or he had already seen too many wonders with the Taoist.

“……”

The Taoist smiled slightly.

This is one of the five paths to heaven.

When he was in Yuezhou, he had been to Tianzhu Mountain in the north and felt the unique spiritual charm at the intersection of the Heavenly Palace and the mortal world, but his feelings were not very detailed, and he did not carefully explore the mechanism inside. This time I came to Venerable Mountain, in addition to enjoying the scenery, I wanted to take a closer look at how the gods went up to the sky for the first time, why they could only go up from these five places, why they couldn't go up from other places and they could go up to these five places.

It just so happened to be April and a half, and it was even better.

lest you have to wait here for a long time.

Anyway, judging from what Song You saw and heard during the day today, someone must have ascended to the sky tonight.
