"Shall we still sleep on this tonight?"

"I want to sleep on this, what does Sanhua Niang want?"

"Sanhua Niangniang thinks it's very good."

"Then it's settled."

"This time it seems to be hotter than the last one."

"Last time it was autumn, this time it's summer."

"It's still going to be cold at night."

"Sanhua Niangniang is reasonable......

The Taoist was still sitting on the edge of the cliff, with his back to the darkness, facing the glow, looking at the dreamy colors of the distant sky and the silhouette of the earth, while the three-flowered cat changed back into a human form behind him, and began to take out a wool felt and a thin blanket from the brocade bag, spread them on the ground, and took out a lantern.

While the Taoist was still admiring the glow, the girl had already made his bed for him, and held a wooden staff and held a lantern in front of him.

“……”

The Taoist was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.

I can't help but smile——

It seems that the cat remembers the events of that night very clearly.

Then he raised his hand, as he did back then, and twisted it into the distance, as if he had pinched the air, and threw it into the simple lantern in front of him.

In an instant, the lantern lit up with a dreamlike light like the horizon.

Let's borrow a touch of light......

The sky gradually darkened, the color gradually dimmed, and the glow disappeared, but the glow in the lantern was still bright, slowly returning to the long night.

The Taoist has also sat on the wool felt, and his hands are placed on his lap in a very comfortable posture, feeling the spiritual charm of heaven and earth.

The cat lay beside him, her eyes full of thought.

If there are people below who are walking at night, if there are fairies and ghosts walking in the mountains at night, and when you look up, you may find a little starlight between the cliffs thousands of feet above.

Tonight is naturally different from last time.

Last time it was the beginning of autumn, the cold was heavier, but this time it was just a little summer, and it was already warmer.

Last time the cold wind on the mountain was much heavier than this time, the last time he slept on the ground, he slept on the cold, hard and uneven plank road floor, this time he was cushioned with wool felt, and last time he fell asleep in silence, but this time a cat kept talking to him, and he didn't stop until he didn't want to answer.

There are also subtle changes in the spirit of the mountains.

There are more mountain demons and mountain ghosts.

The lantern was also replaced.

At that time, the paper lantern bought under the mountain was difficult to withstand the wind and rain, and it was not easy to carry, and it didn't take long for it to break, and now this lantern was given to him by the little ghost in the Pingzhou Dashan Demon and Ghost Market, and it has been preserved to this day.

However, the glow still illuminates a small area, making the mountain and windy cliffs a little warmer.

In the middle of the night.

The Taoist opened his eyes and raised his hand.

There was a golden streamer floating in his hand, like stars and rain, floating in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, it dissipated between heaven and earth.

Turning his head, he saw a cat next to him, curled up in a ball, breathing steadily.

I don't know if there are any dreams.

Early the next morning.

The Taoist went down the mountain.

is still a Taoist, a jujube red horse, a three-flowered cat, slowly walking along Jinyang Road.

There are countless ancient cypresses on the side of the road, showing a unique gray-blue color at this time, no one has pruned for thousands of years, the branches grow freely, wild and staggered, and the lush leaves can only pass through the sunlight with difficulty, sprinkled on the road with spots, light and dark trance. In the meantime, the bells of the red horses echoed, and the bells came from behind them, and there were merchants and pedestrians staggering past them.

While hurrying and thinking back to the past, time has passed quickly, just like in the past thirteen years.

The three-flowered cat's expression became more and more subtle, and every time she stopped to look at the mountains and rivers on both sides, her expression was extremely focused, revealing a thoughtful look, as if she also noticed that this was getting closer and closer to the small temple she used to be, from the place where she and the Taoist first met.

Before I knew it, it was afternoon.

The changes of sunlight through the branches and leaves of the ancient cypress turned into points of light, showing on the bluestone ancient road at your feet.

"It's almost time to get to the small temple of Sanhua Niangniang."

Song You leaned on a bamboo cane and said calmly.

The cat was walking in front of him with small steps, but when he heard this, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at him, and did not speak.

Fortunately, the Taoist knew what she meant.

"If I'm not mistaken, not far ahead, I will arrive at Wang Shangong's Road Temple, and before that, there is a fork in the road, and along the fork in the road, it is where the small temple of Sanhua Niangniang is located. When you get there, Sanhua Niangniang will definitely recognize the way. ”

"Are we going?"

The cat stood still, staring up at him.

"It's up to Sanhua Niangniang." Song You lowered his head and looked at her, "In our journey, Sanhua Niangniang can undoubtedly make decisions. ”

“……”

The cat had no expression on her face and didn't speak.

"It seems that Sanhua Niangniang wants to go." Song You smiled slightly, "I'm a little tired, find a place to rest and eat something, let's go and see if Sanhua Niangniang's small temple is still there." ”

"Okay!"

The cat said.

When the words landed, he immediately retracted his gaze, trotted, turned into a little tiger, and rushed forward along Jinyang Road.

The sun shines through the cooper, and the three-flowered cat's fur is already clean and shiny, and when the light hits her, it seems that she is shining.

Less than half a mile away, there was an open space in front of me, an extraordinarily leafy ancient cypress tree blocking the sun, and there were many stones on the ground for people to sit on, and a group of people were resting here.

This group of people is also mixed, and there are people for everything.

There are merchants, porters, dart masters, idle people in the rivers and lakes, and ordinary people who look like visiting relatives, everyone gathers here harmoniously, wiping sweat and chatting and resting.

The Taoist brought a cat and a horse over, and carried a lot of bags, which was quite extraordinary, and naturally attracted the attention of many people.

The crowd looked at him, and the conversation paused.

The Taoist bowed his head, then found a stone to sit down, and took out the brocade bag of Sanhua Niangniang and held it in his arms to dissipate the heat.

It's a bit hot.

The merchant who had been resting looked at him a few times, and then continued to talk about what he had said.

Mainly talking are a few idlers and two dart masters, most of them are walking the rivers and lakes, bumping together, they say hello, talk to each other, can share some information is the best, it is good to find some fun to pass some time.

Most of the rest of the people were listening to the excitement on the sidelines.

What Fang was talking about just now seemed to be the demon on this road.

"That mountain demon haunts that bridge all day long, asking people to carry it across the bridge, and finally met a ruthless man." A Jianghu man said, "I heard that the good hand of the Xishan faction came here to do something, that guy is three points stronger than an ox, and the sword of the Xishan faction is like a toothpick in his hand, and the monster dares to come out and ask him to carry it across the river." The hero knew that this was a demon as soon as he heard it, but he was not afraid, so he carried it up and crossed the river, saying that the monster had become thousands of pounds in the middle, and he did not put it down, but carried it straight to the sun without shade, and then pulled out his knife and slashed it violently. ”

When everyone heard that the monster had become thousands of pounds, their eyes widened, and when they heard that the heroes of the rivers and lakes were so bold that they carried the monster across the bridge and drew their knives against each other, they were amazed and yearned.

"Is the youkai dead?"

"I heard that I changed back to my original form and ran away." The Jianghu said, "Although the disciples of the Xishan Sect are powerful, when they reach the mountains and forests, they can't catch up with the mountain demon, so they have to let it run away." I heard that the whole knife was covered with green blood, and after washing it, it glowed green under the moon at night. ”

"What a monster......

The crowd was amazed and frightened.

Sanhua Cat also listened attentively.

"In the past few years, this road has become more and more unsmooth." A dart master sighed, "It's not okay to have a Wang Shangong guarding it." ”

"Not really."

"Eh, who of you has heard about Cow Village?"

"What's going on in Cow Village?"

"It's a lot scarier than that mountain demon."

Everyone listened to this dart master's words, especially the dart master's tone was low, it seemed that he also felt frightened, and they all felt scared, and they didn't dare to say anything, but they stared at the dart master, wanting to hear what was going on.

"It is said that there is a family in Niu Village, who lives on the edge of the official road, and is very kind-hearted on weekdays, but whoever passes by his door, who is thirsty and asks for some water, or does not bring enough dry food to change a little, their family will gladly agree, never perfunctory, who of you remember?"

"Is there a pigsty next to the official road?"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it! ”

"I went to his house to ask for water! It's a good guy! At that time, the peaches were ripe, and I was given a peach to eat! ”

"I remember that family too......"

"He also has a son, and he's quite clever."

"What's wrong with that family?"

Even the Taoist sitting next to him frowned and thought about it, but there was no such family in his memory, so he had to give up and look at the dart master instead.

Everyone also looked at the dart master.

"It was just a few days ago. It is said that one day, a girl came to their house, and she looked quite handsome, and claimed to live in a village near Nanhua County, which was only twenty miles away. Some time ago, her parents were sick, both died, she was alone, she had to go to Xuzhou's relatives, passing by here, thirsty and hungry, so she came to beg for saliva to drink, begged for food, by the way, asked how to go to Xuzhou. "The master of the house saw that she was handsome, and that she spoke like that, and even seemed to have read for a few days, and thought about it, so he asked her to stay at home overnight and leave tomorrow morning." In the evening the woman took her into the house, and took out the soles of her shoes to embroider them, and the girl took the needle and thread, and in no time she put the soles of her shoes in a few or three strokes, and the stitches were so dense and neat that the woman was astonished to see her, and she liked her very much. ”

The dart master took a sip of water.

The woman took the man to the back room, discussed it, and found that she liked the girl very much, and when she came out, she told her that she was going to Xuzhou to join her relatives anyway, and Xuzhou was thousands of miles away, and she might not be able to find relatives if she went, and asked her if she would like to marry her son.

The girl thought for a moment and nodded.

"If you say that you are going to marry someone yourself, you should see that they have a good heart, a harmonious family, and are willing to take care of the housework for them.

So the family was very happy, and the next day they went out to raise some money, for fear that she would regret it, and soon held a wedding.

Hearing this, everyone doesn't know where the horror is.

On the contrary, it is quite a bit of a good story.

People like to tell stories like this, good people have good rewards, fate and beauty, all of which are fascinating.

That night, after entering the cave room, the old couple also told their son to treat others well, and then closed the door and went back to the room to rest. But in the middle of the night, the woman suddenly woke up from a dream, and dreamed that her son was crying to her with a miserable face, saying that he was about to be eaten. The woman was so frightened that she woke up her man, but the man said that she had a good daughter-in-law, and he was so happy that he told her to go to sleep.

It was not until the woman was awakened by the same nightmare again, and woke the man again, that the old couple lit the lamp and opened the door and called the names of their sons and daughters-in-law, but no one answered.

"Plucking up the courage to open my son's door, I found it locked, until they called their neighbors and slammed it open, and then they saw a fierce and ugly monster hiding inside, and when the monster saw that there were many people outside, he slammed the door and fled, and their son had been eaten to the bones, and the bed was covered with blood."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and the cold started from the bottom of their hearts.

"Really?"

"How can this be fake? If you're going that way, just ask! "Just these two nights, the monster has been hanging around a lot, and I think it's still the old couple's idea." ”

"Didn't anyone report to the official?"

"How useful is it to report to the officer? The Yidu City God Temple, even if the City God Master is really effective, he can manage the Yidu City at most. The trappers did not dare to go to the mountains at night to catch demons. Even if someone went to incense the old man Wang Shangong in front of him, the good old man could only make a dream, and asked the villagers to bring more people to find the monster's lair during the day. But how can the villagers have the guts? ”

"Didn't anyone go to invite a master?"

"Please, it's useless."

"Alas......"

The crowd immediately sighed.

"I heard that there is a master in Nancun, who is quite powerful, and it is no problem to catch ghosts and invite gods, why don't you ask them to invite him to try?"

"It's the master who said it was invited."

"This ......"

"I heard the old man say, a hundred miles ahead, there used to be a Taoist temple in Yinyang Mountain in Lingquan County, and it is difficult to say if the spirit is not effective, but if someone asks to go to the door because of the evil spirit, there is no one who will not be removed. The locals say that no matter how powerful the youkai is, they can't compete with the Michicho on the mountain. It's just that later, I don't know why, everyone went there again, and then walked up that mountain, but they couldn't find that Taoist temple, as if they had disappeared out of thin air. ”

"And this kind of wonder?"

"I've heard that, too."

“……”

When Song You heard this, he shook his head helplessly.

This kind of thing itself has to be managed, and at this time, I heard someone say that the Taoist temple that has been closed for a long time is like ordering itself, and it can't wait any longer.

So the voice of the Taoist sounded next to him:

"Excuse me......"

Everyone followed the voice, and they all turned their heads to look at this Taoist.

I saw the Taoist sitting on the stone, holding a brocade bag in his arms, holding a wide leaf in his hand to fan the wind, and a very beautiful cat next to him was sitting obediently, and a horse behind him was carrying his bags, but there was neither a reins nor a trace of the saddle being spared, just like a wild horse, holding an extraordinary.

The Taoist was gentle and polite, and looked at the dart master, as if he was just curious: "How far is the family in the dart master's mouth from here?" ”
