Chapter 563: You Offer First
"Daoist! That water of yours is gone! ”
"Got it."
"Where have you been?"
"Far away."
"Do you know where it is?"
"Of course I know."
"When are you going to find it?"
"There's no hurry."
How can there be a reason to rush in the dark?
There will be no less water spirit rhyme, and it will not be lost, and there is a high probability that after getting it, it will be better preserved than the Taoist, so what is the need to be anxious?
Song You walked to the room in a hurry, took out a newly bought piece of paper, took a cinnabar brush, and began to draw the talisman.
This water spirit rhyme is the most agile and vibrant, and it is also the one that Song You feels the deepest, and sometimes it often feels like it has life. But it has been several years since he was found overseas in Langzhou, but he has been beaten by wind and rain, which can be regarded as a grievance.
It is better to be offered for two days in another place.
Song You drew the talisman slowly, not in a hurry at all.
On the contrary, Sanhua Niangniang was so anxious that she was in the room, and the real sense of the group was round and round-
As small as walking back and forth by himself, as big as going around the Taoist and the table where he draws talismans, and then going around the room in circles, asking the Taoist a few words from time to time, the anxious color is overflowing.
Sanhua Niangniang understands the truth, but if she loses such a valuable treasure and doesn't get it back immediately, how can she sleep? How do you calm down?
The Taoist still drew talismans and comforted her.
After drawing the talisman, go straight to sleep.
Sanhua Cat stared at him for a long time, but she was not helpless, there was no other emotion, she just waited, just waited until it was boring, she went out and prepared for tomorrow.
Early the next morning.
Song You woke up, washed up briefly, and cleaned up the quilt bag.
Most of the bags were left in the carriage and horse shop, but they also had to bring some things, which they needed on the road for the past two days.
Immediately picked up a bunch of talismans, prepared to go out for breakfast, and handed them to the merchant surnamed Xie by the way, but as soon as he took two steps, there was a knock on the door.
"Tuk Tuk ......"
There are only two sounds, and the sound is particularly soft.
Besides, there is no other sound.
It's the maid.
Song You paused, then turned around and picked up the robe he had changed last night and went to open the door.
Sure enough.
Standing outside the door was the palace maid, she was wearing the clothes often worn by the locals, because she didn't understand the language with Song You, she bowed her head and didn't say anything, and she looked honest and silent. However, next to her, there was also a businessman wearing a Dayan costume and a big belly, and the one who was smiling was the businessman surnamed Xie.
"Gong Xie is here too."
"I just want to see if Mr. is awake, so I invite Mr. to have a final breakfast before leaving." The businessman surnamed Xie said that he did not directly say that he was here to ask for the talisman.
"That's just right, the talisman was already drawn last night, and it was just handed over to the princes, and it was good to say two sentences with the Zhugong." Song You said while glancing at the maid next to him, "It's just right, please ask Gong Xie to help me translate a few words and inform this lady." ”
"I wonder what Mr. is going to say?"
"In the past few days, thank you to this lady, but I will go out for a long trip next day and will not come back, and in the next few days, please don't come over again."
The merchant surnamed Xie truthfully conveyed it to the maid.
The maid replied.
She asked him when he would come back, so that she might bring his washed clothes to him.
"At least four or five days."
"So long?" The businessman surnamed Xie hadn't translated yet, but he was stunned for a moment, and asked Song You first, "Sir, where are you going?" ”
"I promised the monarch of Yucheng before to find the lost silver kettle, it's been more than half a month, and the silver kettle is still not found, so it's time to find it." Song You replied, "But there is no need to tell this lady, this lady has a good heart, so as not to make her feel more guilty and worried." ”
"I see."
The merchant surnamed Xie nodded, and then translated for him.
But there is some emotion and admiration in my heart.
In fact, within a few days of arriving in Yucheng, they heard about the events of that day from the shopkeeper, and then the maid came to the carriage and horse shop every day and took Song You's clothes to change. At first glance, it sounds like a very simple and pure story of repaying the favor in local rumors, which is easy for people to talk about, but they have been in business for many years, after all, they are no longer teenagers, and they see that this maid is beautiful and comes from the palace, and it is inevitable that there are some frivolous thoughts in their hearts at the beginning, and there are also a few words of ridicule, but for many days, they only saw the maid come and go early, never stay, and the Taoist did not say a word to her, it was as pure as in the story.
I don't know why people came forward in the first place, and then how they persuaded the monarch of Jasper, but I only saw that he was willing to travel far away in order to find the silver kettle at this time, and the merchant surnamed Xie also admired him a little more.
The maid hugged her clothes, bowed, bowed her head, and walked away quickly.
The merchant surnamed Xie walked to the dining hall with Song You.
"Where is the boy of the gentleman's family?"
"Still sleeping."
"Aren't you coming for breakfast?"
"Bring her a pot of milk later."
"Sir, this boy is also good, although he likes to sleep lazily, but he is diligent and clever during the day, and he can save a lot of effort." The merchant surnamed Xie walked with him through the grape trellis, and said as he walked, "By the way, we encountered a strange thing in the courtyard before dawn today. ”
"What's weird?"
"It was also when we just woke up that we suddenly heard some movement in the backyard, like a camel moving, and thought that we were going to leave today, so one of us couldn't help but open the window and take a look. But I saw a fire burning in the backyard next to the river. The merchant surnamed Xie frowned, "I didn't smell anything before, so when I opened the window, as soon as the river breeze blew, I immediately smelled like roasted dumplings, so scared that the kid immediately closed the window, until dawn today, I went to the backyard to see the camels, and I dared to check, sir, guess what?" ”
"What's wrong?"
"There is a pit on the ground by the river, and there is a fire in it, like a small naan pit!" The merchant surnamed Xie said, "Maybe there were monsters cooking in this courtyard last night!" ”
"Magical ......"
"Haha, but that monster's cooking skills are not good, the dumplings in the pit are all burnt, and they can't be pulled off if they stick to it."
“……”
Song You also smiled.
Sanhua Niangniang's learning ability is very strong, especially good at silently observing and secretly learning, but the baked dumplings themselves are roasted in the naan pit, and the construction of the naan pit itself needs to be of a very high level, and the fire or something is carried out in the pit, Sanhua Niangniang can't see it at all, and naturally there is no way to learn.
Gradually, I walked to the dining hall.
The grapes on the grape trellis in the front yard were ripe, so this morning's breakfast had more grapes in addition to camel milk and roasted naan, and grapes were placed on every table for everyone to eat.
Song You also handed over the talisman to the merchant and his party, and told them which one was to drive away evil spirits, which one was to ward off yin, what were the effects, how to preserve and use them, and after breakfast, he sent them away.
The camel bells jingled and gradually faded away, and there was a long line.
The Taoist seemed to see the picture of them passing through the wind and sand, and their steps remained steadfast, without saying a word, bringing spices and money to the East, and bringing silk and porcelain from the East to the Western Regions.
Later generations may not know their names, but they will remember the path they walked at this time.
“……”
Song You retracted his gaze and returned to the room.
Feed the cat a pot of camel milk, take a bamboo cane, ask the shopkeeper for two bunches of grapes, go out to buy a few roasted dumplings and two honeydew melons to take with them, and then go out of the city.
For more than half a month, dozens of miles outside Yucheng, almost every direction and every road they have walked have walked, and this road is also one of them.
The pace of the Taoist was the same as before, neither fast nor slow, but unlike before, this time he only looked ahead, no longer looking around at the scenery, so he seemed much more determined.
The jujube red horse and the three-flowered cat followed behind.
Swallows are finding their way in the sky.
……
Two days later, two hundred miles outside the Jade City.
There is a temple between the mountains, the temple is exactly the same as the temple where Song You had stayed overnight before, built by the mountain, covering a large mountain, magnificent, resplendent gold, even the stairs leading to the mountain gate are built of the best stone, and there is a small gold-topped white tower every few steps on both sides.
There are countless palace rooms in the mountains, and the sound of chanting is everywhere.
The only difference is that most of the time ago, the temple was on the side of the road, only forty miles away from the Jade City, but this temple was in the deep mountains, and no one would come here at all.
In the palace on the top that is comparable to the main hall of the imperial palace, most of the great monks that Song You had seen were gone, and a few who were still here also shrank at the back to read the Buddhist scriptures, shaking their heads, obviously the candlesticks and lanterns in the hall were the same as before, but they seemed to have a little more spirit.
The top one sat in the middle of the house, a fat-bellied monk wearing only a loose golden robe, smiling like some carved laughing Buddha.
At this moment, there is a seven-colored glazed platform in front of him, and the seven-colored glaze, which is more precious than the five-colored jade in the Western Regions, has now only become a foil, used to place the objects on it that are as ordinary as flowing water.
The pot-bellied monk smiled, his eyes only looking at the watery spiritual rhyme, and he couldn't take his eyes off it, as if there was endless beauty in it, or maybe this was some rare treasure.
And that's exactly what happened.
This is truly a rarity.
Since he took this treasure three days ago, he knew what the treasure of heaven and earth was, the crystallization of the Great Dao, compared to the treasures he had hidden, whether it was the magic weapon, they were all dim.
And he has done almost nothing in the past three days, just looking at this spiritual rhyme here, and from time to time he stretched out his hand to touch it, and was afraid that it would be damaged or desecrated, so he withdrew his hand again, and at most he approached and opened his eyes to carefully look at the brilliance inside, feeling the subtlety and endless mysteries of the spiritual rhyme, and even sometimes saluting it, as if it was more important than his life.
"Treasure! This is the ultimate treasure!
"Hahahaha......
"There is such a treasure in heaven and earth!"
The pot-bellied monk muttered to himself, sometimes he was so fascinated that he couldn't help but reveal his true face.
It's an obese weasel.
