Qingyun Palace.

Qing Huaizi holds the Taoist scriptures in his hand, sitting cross-legged on the ground, the copper incense burner on the table next to him wafts out of the green smoke, with a calming taste, the sound of the disciples chanting in the evening class faintly floats from the main hall outside the door, and the Taoist music in the palace view also has a bit of Yangzhou's gentleness and grace, which is in harmony with it, and makes people feel calm.

Qing Huaizi didn't read the Taoist scriptures, but thought about what he heard yesterday.

Yangzhou has developed commerce and trade, there are merchants and tourists everywhere, and the palace and temple are a mixed place, and there are many merchants from Langzhou, Qing Huaizi will know after a little inquiry.

About a month ago, at the junction of Langzhou and Yangzhou, on the Jiuyang Mountain, the Great Sacrifice of the God of Anle, there was a group of people with a girl to participate in the big sacrifice, after the day, the statue of the God of Anle was broken, the temple was half destroyed, only a mountain stone cut tablet was left in front of the temple, informing the villagers that the evil god had been removed.

Five of the six animals returned to their original owners, and the master who exterminated the evil gods only took a chicken and walked away, leaving no name.

Qing Huaizi couldn't help but think back to the Taoist a few days ago.

Although the Taoist himself did not show anything extraordinary, his words were gentle and polite, and his conversation was also extraordinary.

“……”

I don't know if he is a god in the heavenly palace or a hidden master in the mountains, just listen to him to kill the evil gods, leave no name and no profit, and only take a chicken to go, this character is admirable enough.

At that moment, there was a sudden sound of wind outside the window.

"Plop Plop ......"

Qing Huaizi turned his head and looked at him suspiciously.

I saw a swallow flying outside the window, the swallow was a common swallow, but it was clutching something at its feet.

If you look closely, it is a red fruit tied with a thin thread, the size of an egg, and it will not be able to fly if it is an ordinary swallow, and it will definitely not be able to fly with such a heavy thing, but it can fly easily.

The swallow flapped its wings and stayed out of the window for a moment, and a pair of dark eyes looked into the room, swept and swept his face, as if to confirm the occupants of the room, and finally flew in after a while.

“……”

Even though Qing Huaizi had already guessed in his heart, after all, he had rarely seen such a strange thing, so he couldn't help but lean back slightly, and subconsciously avoided it.

reacted, and quickly returned to the original state.

The swallow landed on the table.

The red fruit also fell on the table, rolled two or three times, and straightened the thin thread before stopping.

"Dare to ask ......"

Qing Huaizi looked at it worriedly.

Yanzi also opened his eyes to look at him, and he actually opened his mouth in the same way, and said: "But Qing Huaizi Dao Chief? ”

"Exactly!"

"We met a few days ago, but we were just being dull, and the true face of the Taoist chief was blurred in my mind, and I ask for forgiveness."

is also sending things, and Yanzi has spoken much more calmly and naturally than Anqing back then.

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

Qing Huaizi took the Taoist Sutra and talked with the bird, always feeling wonderful, but after all, he was a Taoist, but he also kept his composure and asked, "What is the matter with Xiao Yanxian coming here?" ”

"That's right. Thanks to the Taoist guide, my husband went to Gushan a few days ago, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the aura is abundant, and he has gained a lot. On that day, we were warmly received by the Taoist Chief, and my husband has been reciting the Taoist Chief's hospitality. Yanzi said in one breath, but his tone was a little like a recitation, "My husband and I will leave tomorrow, just a few days ago, I visited the mountain, and found a spiritual fruit in the place where the spiritual energy is abundant in the mountains, and picked a few, so the gentleman specially asked me to send one, and gave the Taoist chief a taste, which was counted as a thank you." ”

"How embarrassing is this......

"Since the spirit fruit has been delivered, I don't dare to disturb it too much, so I bid farewell to the Dao Chief."

“……”

Yanzi secretly rehearsed the procedure several times in his heart on the way to fly, and after finishing his words, he finally did not stumble and embarrassed his husband, and then did not give Qing Huaizi a chance to reply, only turned around, flapped his wings, and flew out of the window again.

The blue sky is still vast, and the wind is free.

Qing Huaizi hurriedly got up, walked to the window, and saluted and watched him go away, his eyes still wide open.

"Sure enough......"

Sure enough, it was a swallow.

If he talks so exquisitely and behaves so politely, he must not be an ordinary mountain spirit, and Yan Xian appeared that day, he must be the descendant of Yan Xian.

Qing Huaizi watched from a distance, until the small black dot completely disappeared in the air, and he couldn't find it, so he retracted his gaze, and hurriedly sat back in his place, pinched the red fruit on the table, and was careful.

The red fruit is crystal clear, exudes a strange fragrance, smells it and feels comfortable, as if the energy and vitality have been restored to the best feeling after a good sleep, pinching and not moving, looking carefully, the fruit seems to exude a faint mist, if there is nothing, it is strange, almost the same as the book record.

It's similar to what the senior brother said.

"It's really a spiritual fruit......

Qing Huaizi's eyes widened and she muttered to herself.

"The ......"

I just wanted to say that I exchanged a pot of tea and a few plates of fruit for a natural treasure, and I made a lot of money, but if I think about it carefully, it's just mutual kindness, and there is really no need to worry about that. I just wanted to say that the young man that day was really the descendant of An Qing Yanxian, and most of the Taoist chief was also an immortal, but seeing his conduct today, whether he was an immortal or not, it didn't seem to matter.

Qing Huaizi thought about it like this, only to feel that the more he tasted it, the more fragrant it became, so he simply took the fruit and wiped it on the cuff, and then put it in his mouth.

The spirit fruit is refreshing, light as water in the mouth, and has a long aftertaste.

……

One person, one cat and one horse, walking along the official road.

Swallows fly left and right in the sky.

Song You didn't take the waterway, but he almost walked along the Qingnu River, and most of the time he could see the river, so it was good, at least it was convenient to get water.

This goes to the east and goes directly to Yangdu.

Yangdu has a god of bliss, the only one of the five earth gods to be sealed in the town.

However, Song You did not go directly to Yangdu, but first walked along the Qingnu River, then along the Backward River, and went around Yangzhou for half a circle, first visited the God of Peace in the south, and then visited the God of Peace in the east.

The god of comfort in the south guarded himself, and while conscientiously collecting heavenly and earthly treasures for the national teacher, he neither appeared at will to frighten the local people, nor did he extort incense, nor did he directly devour living people like the god of comfort in Jiuyang Mountain, and asked people to be sacrificed to him. Therefore, although the national teacher was also prepared, he sent a folk master, but he only called the folk master to investigate and supervise, and when he found that this god of comfort did not transgress, he only deposed his god and did not destroy him.

The god of peace in the east is the most irritable, and his excesses are even more than the god of peace in the Nine Mountains.

When Song You arrived in the place, the local squires were still looting the people's fat and ointment to worship to the god of peace, and collected beautiful women everywhere to offer to the god of peace as wives and concubines.

But in fact, Song You visited several times and investigated and found that more than a year ago, the national teacher invited an old Taoist from Zhenshan to come forward, and he had already eliminated this god of peace, and now the so-called god of peace that has made people panic in several counties in the east of Yangzhou, and even the magistrates dare not speak out of anger, is actually just the evil of people's hearts, and the desire is endless.

Naturally, it was handed over to the county magistrate for punishment.

When I walked to Yangdu like this, it was already winter.

The Taoist had already put on thick clothes, took the jujube red horse, and slowly approached this prosperous city in the world.

Ordinary cities, whether they are county or state, if you want to appreciate the prosperity of the city, most of them have to see the city wall first, and when you enter the city gate, it is the prosperous street.

Even Yidu is the same.

But Yangdu is the same as Changjing. Just approaching Yangdu, before entering the city, you can already see the countryside all over, and the official road is full of shops, restaurants, carriage and horse shops, and warehouses of freight merchants. The official road is almost built close to the river, and the boats on both sides of the river are constantly coming and going, and the cars, horses, and pedestrians on both sides of the official road are also endless, and people often stop to eat, drink, and stay on the roadside.

The water vapor of steamed pastries and soup cakes is really conspicuous in winter, and as soon as the lid is lifted, it can rush to the old high, and several restaurants in a row seem to be able to turn into clouds.

Wine flags waved in the cold wind, hunting sounded, accompanied by the conversations, shouts and laughter of the customers in the shops below, and before entering the Yangdu, this excitement had surpassed most of the cities along the way.

The scenery of this market town outside the city stretches for more than ten miles.

Even Song You couldn't help the hunger in his stomach, so he stopped to eat a bowl of hot acorn noodles, and then continued along the official road.

The city wall of Yangdu finally appeared in front of him.

"Yangdu ......"

Song You stopped and looked up and muttered.

The cat also raised its head, staring at the top of the city wall as well.

Show the degree and enter the city smoothly.

In the city, there are many businessmen, thousands of merchants gathered, the spring breeze is ten miles, and it is prosperous like a dream.

"Meow ......"

"yes."

Compared with the imperial capital of Changjing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Yang does not have so many concerns, it can be more public, it is more like a consumer city - Yangdu is not close to Changjing, but it is better than the developed and convenient waterway, since the beginning of the dynasty, there have been many dignitaries and nobles, literati and ink writers have come here, and they have played for a while before leaving, and some even stay in the Qinglou all day long until all the money is spent.

Song You watched as he walked.

Thousands of green buildings, countless bridges are painted, but it is a pity that it is a cold winter, and the willow branches on the riverside have not yet budded, otherwise it should be picturesque.

"Meow?"

The voice of his own cat sounded at his feet.

Song You looked down at the footsteps, and replied to himself, "Let's find an inn to live in first......

"Meow An?"

"There is no way. We were new to the city, and we didn't know where to live. The Taoist walked with a bamboo cane, and said as he walked, and he was not afraid of the strange eyes cast by pedestrians on the road, "so I can only find an inn to live in for a few days, take a walk around the Yangdu, and then find a house to rent." It's easier to cook your own meals. The food here is not appetizing if you want to come to Sanhua Niangniang. ”

"Meow?"

"Sanhua Niangniang still earns a lot of money."

"Meow!"

"Although honey is valuable, we don't have much, so let's keep Sanhua Niangniang to soak in water and drink it."

"Hmm......"

The cat lowered its head and continued to follow the passer in small steps, avoiding the feet of passers-by with agility, and twisting its head to catch up on the city with a pair of amber eyes.

……

The ranking at the beginning of the month is more important, so continue to add more monthly passes!

First of all, I am more respectful! I can enter the top 10 and add more!

Sincerity for sincerity!

Please, please, please~
