"Boom ......"

The Taoist tasted the spirit fruit in small bites, and walked while eating.

"Boom ......"

The girl behind him moved almost the same as him.

I don't know what this fruit was originally, it smells fragrant and aura, but it doesn't taste sweet, it has enough moisture and a crisp taste, which brings it a very bubbly taste, and you can bite a piece of pulp with a light bite, and it doesn't need to use too much strength in your mouth, it turns into juice, which is very refreshing.

Song You only ate one, and then he didn't eat it.

It should really be a taste of freshness, quenching thirst and hunger.

The two figures, one large and one small, did not go down the mountain, but continued to walk to the top of the mountain until they reached the top of the mountain, on the cliff called Tianmen Rock, and then sat down.

At the foot of the mountain in the middle of the afternoon, it was almost dusk at this time, but the sunset had not yet set on the west mountain, the stratocumulus clouds in the sky were afraid that they had spread out for hundreds of miles, and there were gaps in the middle of the clouds, and the sunset stopped on the clouds, and the gaps in the middle of the stratus clouds sprinkled a golden light, coming from the heavenly palace and falling straight to the world.

Below is the Qingnu River, which is as green as a jade belt.

The mountains on the other side are still steep, and there are fertile fields and villages below, which is also infinitely beautiful.

Song You sat on the ground and admired it quietly.

Anyway, you can't go back to the city when you go down the mountain, so it's better to sleep on the top of the mountain for a night if you sleep under the mountain.

It's just that the horses are left in the inn of the county town today, and they don't carry felt blankets, so it's a little cold.

Sanhua Niangniang has long been accustomed to his stubborn pursuit of the top of the mountain, scenery and sunset, not only has no objection at all, but even does not feel strange at all, only walked to the edge of the cliff, and naturally looked down at how high this cliff is, and then walked back, next to the Taoist, but also learn the Taoist appearance, sit down, one hand to support the face, the other hand gnawed the fruit, bored staring at the sunset.

The swallow also fell, turned into a young man, and sat cross-legged behind the Taoist.

Sanhua Niangniang gave him the three spirit fruits.

The mountains are quiet and there is only the sound of the wind.

Even the boats on the river below the mountain are gone, and only an old fisherman is left, standing on a bamboo raft and casting nets to fish, which is too far away, and the figure looks very small.

"The aura here is rich, the spiritual rhyme is subtle, and the spiritual medicinal properties in the spiritual fruit are rare, but what is even more rare is that it was born in this landscape, and the spiritual rhyme of heaven and earth is naturally compatible. Sanhua Niangniang and Yan An will practice here overnight after eating the spirit fruit today, digest the spiritual medicine in the spirit fruit, and also feel the spiritual charm of this landscape. ”

"You suddenly spoke, startling Sanhua Niangniang."

"Thank you, Mr. for reminding you, Yan An remember."

"It's not that I suddenly spoke, but Sanhua Niangniang is talented, pure in heart, eating spiritual fruits, in a trance, she has been in harmony with heaven and earth, so she will be so easily frightened by my words."

"Really?"

“……”

Song You didn't answer, only turned his head to look at her.

"That's right! The three fruits that the Sanhua Niangniang left for the horses, go back to the horses to eat, won't the horses lose a lot? ”

"If it is fate, it is said to be fate."

"I don't understand."

"Sanhua Niangniang, let's practice."

"Okay......

The little girl looked serious and quickly closed her eyes.

The swallow, who was farther away from her, also closed her eyes.

The aura and charm of the mountains are all circulating here.

Song You still sat still, did not close his eyes, and watched the sunset in the distance, and the clouds sprinkled ten thousand taels of broken gold, until after sunset, the sunset was reversed, burning half of the sunset.

Good mountains, good waters, good spiritual rhyme, and a beautiful sunset are his practice.

A mountain spirit fruit, spiritual power for him, naturally has to taste a fresh, thirst-quenching stomach, but it is rooted in this landscape, growing in this world, in which the spirit rhyme is also useful to him, and can also help him more clearly understand the spirit of this landscape, but one is enough.

Night falls, and the sky is full of stars.

The mountain breeze is getting louder and colder.

Song You and the two little demons sat on this mountain all night, and during the practice, they didn't know the cold or the time, just waiting for the morning light behind them to wake people up.

Both little demons let out a breath of white air.

In the early morning, there was not even a trace of breeze on the mountain, and Song You was still sitting on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain, but what he saw at this time was the scene of the morning mist lingering on the mountainside and floating on the Qingnu River - at this time, both on the Qingnu River and the distant villages were much more vibrant than at dusk, with boats coming and going, fluttering smoke, a little singing and roaring, and a few roosters and dogs barking, all echoing between the mountains.

Last night was magnificent and shocking, and this morning it was beautiful and peaceful.

Seeing that they were awake, Song You glanced back, smiled slightly, and got up.

……

In the early morning, in the mountains, the birdsong is crisp.

The cat often raises its head high, with a pair of amber eyes, and follows the sound to find the position of the bird, and sometimes it is so engrossed that it cannot take care of its feet, and has to make a slip.

There was a faint singing sound in the mountains again.

The singing seems to have been heard yesterday.

Song You went down further and met a woodcutter who came up the mountain with a flat pole firewood knife.

This time he stopped.

"Wake up early......"

"Sir has come down the mountain!"

"yes."

"We are bitter haha, naturally we get up ......early," the woodcutter looked at Song You with some mockery, "Sir, isn't he sleeping in the mountains and can't sleep in the cold?" ”

"Not much."

Song You was still smiling.

Yesterday, Sanhua Niangniang picked three spirit fruits for him, he only ate one, and now he takes out one and hands it to the woodcutter.

"Yesterday's conversation with the foot delayed a lot of wood-cutting work, and thanks to the foot to tell us about last year's events, there are some gains. Walking in the mountains, picking a few wild fruits, wild fruits grow in the deep mountains, it seems to have absorbed the essence of the aura in the mountains, eating quite refreshing and comfortable, specially left one under the foot, it will be regarded as a reward. ”

"Ouch......"

The woodcutter looked down and was immediately embarrassed: "Yesterday I just stopped and rested, and said a few words casually, the Taoist chief was so concerned, which made it ......"

"Please take it."

"This ......"

Before the woodcutter could reach out and take it, he could smell a fresh fragrance.

The fragrance is indescribable, not like any mountain fruit or wildflower, nor like the wild fruit that smells delicious, not like the wild flower that smells bright, but when you inhale gently, there is a very refreshing feeling on the body, and this aroma gives people the feeling of being so mysterious - as long as you eat it, it will be very comfortable.

The woodcutter did not dare to delay and immediately took it.

I felt that the fruit was as red as a drop of blood, crystal clear, as if it was lingering with a faint mist, and then flowed, and when I looked closely, there was nothing.

"I'm afraid it's an immortal fruit?"

"Wild fruit in the mountains."

"How is this good?"

"It's all fate."

"Thank you, Chief!"

"You're welcome." Song You paused for a moment and said to him, "If you have to thank you, please tell me what the old Taoist chief called last year and where he went after he got rid of the demon and went down the mountain." ”

"Huh? How did the Taoist know that I would know? ”

"Guess."

"Guess what......"

The woodcutter held the fruit in his hand, looked up at the Taoist, looked down at the cat, looked up and looked at each other, and then said: "The old Taoist called himself Wen Pingzi, and said that he was going to Yangdu to practice in the future, but Yangdu doesn't seem to be close to here, Yangdu is so big, and I don't know where he went......"

"Yangdu?"

"I think so." "I've had a few conversations with him. ”

"Thank you, and I'm leaving."

"Why does your keep looking at me?"

"Maybe she thinks you're funny."

"Doesn't she understand people?"

"Sometimes I understand."

"Strange ......"

The Taoist had already taken the cat and the woodcutter and walked down the mountain, while the woodcutter was still standing in place, resting with his pestle, turning his head to stare at them, as if he still felt strange.

"Hurry up, kitten."

Song You said to the cat beside him as he walked.

“？”

The cat kept taking small steps, but turned its head and stared at him stunned.

"What's wrong?"

“…… Not much. The cat shook her head, still looking at him, "Why did the Taoist priest give him the fruit to eat?" ”

"Called back the Taoist priest?"

"I don't understand ......"

A man and a cat went down to the bottom of the hill and waited for a long time before a boat could come back to the county and dock to carry them.

It was still a small melon skin boat, but it was smooth and brisk, and the return trip was against the current, and the boatman rowed hard, and it took two days to send them back to the county.

Sanhua Niangniang went to the stable to visit her horse for the first time, and saw that it was well taken care of by the inn guys, so she put her mind at ease, so she fed it the spirit fruit to eat, and whispered in its ear, saying that it should practice well after eating, what kind of understanding Lingyun and the like, so she put her mind at ease.

Song You went straight back to the room, and the swallow went with him.

At this time, there is still one day left in the inn.

"Let's set off tomorrow, there are still three of the Five Manifestation Gods left, let's visit them one by one, and see how many of them have escaped from the national teacher. Stop by and visit Yangzhou. Song You said as he took out the last spirit fruit, rested it on the table, and turned his head to look at the swallow on the side, "When I went to Qingyun Palace a few days ago, Daoist Qinghuaizi treated us politely, and we should return the courtesy." This spirit fruit will trouble you to go to Qingyun Palace, find Qinghuaizi Dao Chief, and give it to him. ”

"No problem!"

"Wait......"

Song You took out the thread from the quilt bag, and tied the egg-sized spirit fruit like an ordinary person using hemp rope to tie wine, and tied a knot to facilitate the swallow's claws to grasp.

"Alright."

"Yan An has gone!"

The swallow said, flapped his wings and flew up, grabbed the thin thread with his paws, and easily lifted the spirit fruit, just like when he was in Anqing, he came to Song You with a jade bottle containing Yan'er Dan.

"Plop Plop ......"

The swallow flew out of the window and quickly moved away.

Song You retracted his gaze, shook his head, and then sat in front of the window, and with the light outside the window, he turned over Jisheng and turned to Yangzhou, to see what direction the other three earth gods were sealing, and also to see what scenic spots and local specialties there were in Yangzhou, and where the famous Ning Xiang Mo came from.

The cat came back and didn't find it.
