"It's easy to go!"

Qing Huaizi said to Song You: "Our Yangzhou waterways extend in all directions, and people travel by waterway. The Taoist will go to the ferry tomorrow and find a boat in the direction of Yangdu. It's just that there is no ferry port on the mountain, so the chief of the road had better find a small boat, and if he sets off early in the morning, he will be able to reach the foot of the mountain in the middle of the afternoon, or almost evening. If it is a big boat, the Taoist can only sit in the next place where there is a ferry, and people will let you come down, and you have to walk twenty miles back. ”

Qing Huaizi paused as he spoke, afraid that he wouldn't know, and explained to him in detail:

"If the Taoist chief is afraid of looking for the ferry boat does not know where the mountain is, he said to go to Yinhua County, from here to the east, there are few mountains, mostly small hills, when the small family is angry to Yinhua ferry, the Taoist can see a majestic mountain from the right hand side, the side to the river, is a steep stone wall, like a knife cut, the cliff does not grow grass, that is the mountain."

"Sounds like a nice view, too."

"It's a rare good mountain in Yangzhou." Qing Huaizi said and smiled, "When Poor Dao was in his twenties, he also traveled to other counties, and he also went to Yinhua several times to do things. ”

"Then it's time to go to the heights to enjoy the autumn."

"Daoist Yaxing!"

"How much does it cost to go to the mountain?"

Hearing this, the girl also turned her restless head back and focused her gaze on Qing Huaizi's face.

"It depends on what boat the Taoist master is on." Qing Huaizi laughed, "Yangzhou is rich, go to the east of Yushan, go to the east of Yangdu, go to the Qingnu River, and there are big boats and small boats." If the Taoist master takes a big ship that the merchants and scholars like, with singers and dancers to play and enough drinks, then the price will be expensive. If you take a small boat, depending on the size and the number of people, it is generally only 20 yuan per person. However, if it is against the current on the return trip, it will have to be doubled. ”

"Yangzhou businessmen will really enjoy it."

"What kind of Taoist does you sit?"

"Let's just take a boat."

"The boat is good, the boat is light, and the water is flowing, half a day and a hundred miles."

"Thank you."

"But small talk, how can you say thank you?"

After Qing Huaizi finished speaking, he frowned again, couldn't help but be curious in his heart, and asked him, "Is the national teacher really immortal?" Why hasn't the poor Dao heard of it, and how did the Dao Leader know about it? ”

"Don't dare to lie." Song You said, "We entered Langzhou from Yaozhou, and we entered Yaozhou from Fengzhou, and when we passed through Fengzhou, we happened to see the death of the national teacher. ”

"See it with your own eyes?"

"See it with your own eyes."

"This ......"

Qing Huaizi was still surprised, stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh.

Song You was not surprised by this.

Changyuanzi's status in the hearts of the whole world Taoist people should be very high, and his image is also excellent, especially the orthodox Taoist temple.

As soon as he came to the national teacher, he was originally from Luming Mountain, which is one of the four famous mountains in the world, and he can't find fault with his background, and he naturally has a good position in Taoism in the world. Second, the national teacher once controlled the government, and even the status of all the Taoist palace and cultivators in the world in Dayan has risen, and the common people worship it, and the officials and clans also have many people who respect the world, and the people who cultivate the Tao in the world are all direct beneficiaries. Moreover, the national teacher has a good reputation among the people in the court, and it is normal for cultivators to regard him as a role model.

Song You didn't say anything, and after drinking the tea, he said goodbye to Qing Huaizi and left.

Girls and teenagers followed him.

After they left for a long time, a little Taoist boy came in to clean up the tea set on the table, and at the same time curiously stared at Qing Huaizi who was contemplating beside him, and asked, "Master, who are those two guests?" ”

"I haven't seen it either."

"Then Master, why are you so polite to them?"

"It must be an immortal in the world."

"Immortals?"

"Jiuyang Mountain, peace and ......" Qing Huaizi muttered to himself, he couldn't help but be curious, and suddenly got up, "I have to inquire about what happened to Jiuyang Mountain......

……

Early the next morning, the Qingnu ferry.

The young Taoist only carried a blanket, two layers of pockets, one containing a three-flowered cat, revealing a round cat head, looking at the world curiously, one containing dry food, and the Taoist scanned the ferry and the boats and passengers with a bamboo cane.

It is really prosperous and lively here, and all kinds of boats are parked on both sides of the river, such as melon skin boats, tent boats, big yellow boats, small yellow boats, cargo boats, and painted boats, all neatly arranged along the river.

There are laborers carrying goods onto ships, and there are also passengers who carry their luggage to distant villages or say goodbye to their loved ones.

Standing here with a cane, surrounded by people coming and going, the noise is constant, and although he has not moved a single step, he has a feeling of passing through the whole world.

Or maybe it's from this era.

It is impossible to say that the person who walked by the Taoist with a package and went away in a small boat at this time was a great poet who has been passed down through the ages, and future generations will be troubled by reciting his poems, or a politician who can influence the whole world, and the world will be changed because of him.

If Song You has the ability of the Heavenly Calculation Ancestor, looking at it, thousands of people come and go, and his luck should be in full view, but he doesn't have it, it will be another kind of fun.

“……”

Song You smiled slightly, and finally took a step forward and walked forward.

Before he could get closer, someone asked:

"Where is the gentleman?"

"Go to the mountain."

Someone in the distance immediately shouted:

"But Yinhua's mountain?"

Song You heard the sound and saw that he was a middle-aged boatman.

"Exactly."

"There's only one person left, I'll leave right away!"

"How much does it cost?"

"Just press it to Yinhua County to collect it, go to the villain in Xushan to find a good place to get off the boat, please Mr. jump, and go down." The boatman looked at Song You with a smile, "Just accept twenty-five wen." ”

"Meow ......"

"Twenty Wen."

Song You lowered his head and touched the cat's head.

"It's not a good day." The boatman made a bitter face, "The villain only earns a coolie money." ”

"Meow!"

"Twenty texts, all for Xiaoping."

Song You couldn't help but smile, and suddenly thought of the Nianping Ferry that went to Anqing back then, and the past was so nostalgic.

Even the cat raised its head and stared up at Song You.

It seems that this kind of conversation is familiar to me.

"Sir, please get on board!"

The boatman propped up a melon skin boat.

The melon skin boat is very small, only one person can sit in a row, and several people sit in a row, and from a distance, it is impossible to distinguish whether it is squatting or sitting.

However, the melon skin boat is better than the brisk, and what the boatman said is not good is a lie, in fact, it is smooth and windy, all the way east, many big ships are easily surpassed by them.

Out of Qingnu County, there are many good fields and mountains on both sides of the strait, no one on the boat speaks, only the boatman sees Song You is Taoist and says a few words to him, and most of the rest of the time Song You only sits silently and looks at the scenery on both sides of the strait, and the cat and Sanhua Niangniang whisper a few words, and they have traveled a hundred miles unconsciously.

Sure enough, mountains appeared on the riverside in the distance.

The river begins to pass through the canyon, and on both sides are majestic mountains, the cliffs are almost vertical, and there is no grass on the rocks, and the graceful scenery of Yangzhou is a little more spectacular and majestic here.

"To the mountain!"

The boatman turned around and shouted to Song You, pointing to the sky: "This is the Shan Mountain, Tianmen Rock." ”

"The mountain seems to be huge."

"It's huge!" The boatman grinned, "It's far away, it's not big, if it's close, it's big, if you want to go up the mountain, you can't see the sun!" ”

"Nice view......

"Wait until there is a place over there to get down, the villain leaned over the boat, slowed down a little, and the gentleman made a great effort and jumped on it, so as not to find a place to land."

"Thank you."

Song You counted out twenty yuan and handed it to the boatman.

The boat soon approached a place on the shore.

The cat had been standing by the boat for a long time, and had been turning her head to stare at the boatman, her face was full of seriousness, and when the boatman jumped, she suddenly made a sharp leap, and landed steadily on the shore.

The ship burst into praise.

Song You also jumped and jumped ashore.

The boatman is still standing on the boat, smiling, holding the boat, while praising Song You's cat for its spirituality.

The boat carried the rest of the guests and gradually moved away.

Sanhua Cat was expressionless, as if she was not at all proud of the amazement and praise of the boatman and the guests, and only stared up at Song You before she spoke: "If our boat is not sold, Sanhua Niangniang can also come out to run the boat to make money." ”

"Hold it all the way, huh?"

"Running a boat to make money!"

"Sanhua Niangniang should concentrate on writing her overseas travelogue." Song You said, raised his head and looked at the sky, "I don't know if the god of pleasure is still there." ”

As the boatman said, when you get to the foot of the mountain, you know that the mountain is big.

At this time, when I looked up, the woods were luxuriant, and there was only a pitiful little bit of the sky that came out, and whether it was the rocky cliff next to it or the top of the mountain in front of me, there was a feeling that I couldn't see my head in sight.

The swallow had already flown into the mountains to find the temple.

Song You also took a step and headed towards the mountains.

The aura here is rich, the end is a good mountain and good water, there are birds singing from time to time, making the mountain more secluded, the late autumn is cool, but the grass and trees in the mountain are not much withered, still green, there is a path in front of you, I don't know where to go.

Under the guidance of the swallow, Song You soon found the temple of the god of pleasure.

However, the temple is dilapidated. It was a small temple at the foot of the mountain, but now the statue of the god is broken, the shrine platform has collapsed, and there are some broken bowls and broken tiles scattered in front of the temple, which is almost submerged by weeds.

has long since lost the smell of incense.

"The temple seems to be rotten......"

Sanhua Cat turned back to the Taoist and said.

"See."

Song You nodded, but continued to look at the mountain.

The aura in the mountains is richer than that under the mountains.

Song You took another step, and did not enter the temple to find out, but continued to walk up the mountain.

This mountain is good, just right for climbing.

I faintly heard the woodcutter singing freely in the mountains, his voice echoed endlessly, full of charm, and I saw that the birds in the mountains were greedy, and they ate the berries fermented on the ground, and they were drunk on the side of the road.

"I want to loosen the wind and blow off the tea smoke, and in my white clouds, I know that I am not a fairy......

"Before the moon goes down, you are at ease......

"If you are happy, you will sing, and if you are sleepy, you will sleep......"

The singing voice is like singing and reading, and the aftertaste is long.

Song You followed the sound and met a woodcutter.
