"I said goodbye to the shop."

"In this life...... Is there still a chance to meet? ”

"It's hard to say."

Song You stood at the door of the inn, the jujube red horse beside him had already packed his bags, and the swallow was also standing on the eaves, waiting for him to say goodbye to the innkeeper.

"The mountains are high and the rivers are far away, life is short, and it is not easy to meet, so why be more demanding."

The innkeeper immediately understood.

"Sir, please go slowly."

"Don't send it."

"Where is the boy of the gentleman's family?"

"I asked her to go to the Yang Mansion to deliver something for me, and I'll be back soon."

"Good ......"

At this moment, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps.

The girl in the tricolored dress ran out of the alley with a blanket on her shoulder, running too fast, her posture was bumpy, and the blanket shook up and down, and she didn't know why she was in such a hurry.

Before he came to the Taoist, a voice was heard.

"Young sprout Taoist! Oh no! ”

The girl ran up to him in one breath and stopped to catch her breath.

“……”

The Taoist looked at her helplessly: "What's wrong?" ”

"Just now, Sanhua Niangniang did what you said, holding a peach to give it to Xiao Chai Niang, but there were many people in her family!" Sanhua Niangniang said and stopped to catch her breath.

"What's going on?"

"Whew! There are many guests in her house, some of them have come to talk to you, and when they saw the peaches you gave to Xiao Chai Niang, they all said that they were conjured by spells, and when they heard that we were about to leave, they all said that they wanted to come to you and say goodbye to you! Sanhua Niangniang said, "Let's run!" ”

"Run? Why run? ”

"You don't like that the most!"

Song You saw the serious look on her face, and her face became red, and she couldn't help laughing: "Although I don't like it, I don't want to run." ”

"They said they wanted to keep you for a few more days."

"Just say no."

"They also said they would ask you for the spells of cultivating immortals."

"This ......"

The Taoist thought about it, but still shook his head and said: "Although it is a little troublesome, but it can also be declined, not to mention that there is no reason to run away in a hurry because others come to see you off and don't want to socialize?" ”

"They also said they wanted you to make peaches for them to eat! said that it must be a fairy peach, and it can live forever if you eat it! ”

“……”

The girl stood a few feet away in front of the Taoist, looked up at him with a serious face: "I just said run quickly, you still don't believe it." ”

"That's ...... It's not good after all......"

"What's so bad? Cats run like this! If you don't like it, run! The girl's expression was still serious, and she even felt a little proud, "If you run away, no one can catch it!" ”

"But I'm not a cat......"

"People can run too! You can run on both feet! ”

"When will you run like this......

"yes!"

Sanhua Niangniang was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and couldn't help but look at him in surprise: "Will you not run?" ”

"You can run."

"Then you run! Come on! They've already run over, I've heard their footsteps, Sanhua Niangniang ran fast before she came to tell you to run away first! Otherwise, it's too late! ”

The girl looked at him and urged him, turned her head, leaned out, and looked into the alley, nervous that those who couldn't run were getting closer and closer, but she thought it was funny, so she couldn't help but have a little more anticipation and excitement on her face while urging the Taoist:

"Let's run together! That must be fun! ”

The Taoist stood still, bowing his head and looking at the girl, but the smile on his face became more and more intense.

Yes –

Since the Taoist people have gone down the mountain, they have always walked calmly in the world, and their steps have rarely slowed down and accelerated.

There is no reason to run away in a hurry because others want to say goodbye and stay, and they don't want to deal with it.

But Sanhua Niangniang also has a point-

"What's wrong?"

"That must be fun!"

The Taoist smiled brightly, and the girl looked forward to it.

"They're coming!"

Sanhua Niangniang said solemnly, her heart began to sink, and the expectation and excitement in her heart began to decrease.

But I heard the voice of my own Taoist priest in front of me—

"Then ask Sanhua Niangniang to run ahead."

"Huh?"

The girl was stunned.

Brushed his head and turned his head, staring at the Taoist.

I was surprised.

"What's wrong? Didn't Sanhua Niangniang propose to run? The Taoist looked at her with a smile, "Then ask Sanhua Niangniang to lead the way first." ”

“？！”

The girl was puzzled, but her expression was solemn.

Turning his head to look at the alley behind him, he finally glanced at his own Taoist priest, no longer hesitated, turned around and ran.

It's really free, it's really comfortable.

I saw that my clothes were fluttering, my legs were soaring fast, and the clothes on my body were shaking up and down, and I ran very fast.

Behind him, the sound of horses' hooves followed.

The swallow swiped lightly over the head.

If you ask the questioner?

Nature is also around.

……

Outside the city, by the lake, a barren meadow.

This season gradually becomes colder, but in fact it is the most beautiful season of condensation, the earth is golden, the village is white and tiled, the lake is blue, and the metasequoia by the lake is just red, the red is bright and even, it is the color and style that other trees that also have red leaves are difficult to reach, reflected in the water, half the river is sorrowful and half the river is red.

If it is dusk and the sunset are reflected together, it will be even more beautiful.

Seabirds come from the far north and stay in the lake, wintering as if it were the ocean, chasing and playing on the lake, flying to hunt, or flying in flocks.

There were several large stones in the grassland wasteland on the shore of the lake, and a tree grew next to them, casting a shadow, and the Taoist sat in the shadow to rest.

"It's fun!"

Sanhua Niangniang looked excited and happy.

"Those people are running so slowly!"

Especially running all the way with the Taoist priest, it is even happier.

They just ran all the way here.

"Thank you Sanhua Niangniang, not only saved me from a lot of trouble, but also brought me to experience a different feeling." The Taoist said sincerely to the girl beside him.

"Something else?"

The girl asked, tilting her head, taking the blanket off her body, hanging it on the quilt bag, and then with a bang, she turned back into a cat, and walked out from the shadows to the sun, and then she lazily stuck out her tongue and stretched out her waist, and was in a good mood.

"I rarely run like that."

"Why don't you run? It's fun to run! When the cat stretched his waist, he turned his head to look at him, very puzzled, "Sanhua Niangniang often runs, runs very fast!" ”

"Sanhua Niangniang is amazing."

"It seems that none of you like to run, but only the little ones love to run, and when you grow up, you don't like to run." The cat said while thinking about the reason, she is a cat who is good at thinking, but after all, she is a cat, and people can't understand it, so she quickly shook her head again, looked up at the sun and said, "People are not very good, not only do they run slowly, they can't bask in the sun, there is no hair, Sanhua Niangniang becomes a person who basks in the sun for a while, and her hands will be red and hot, and it will be good the next day." ”

"It's already very good that Sanhua Niangniang will be fine the next day and won't turn dark."

"People really can't do it."

"Naturally, it can't be compared to Sanhua Niangniang."

"Hmm......"

The cat retracted its gaze, retracted its slumber, shifted its steps, and turned to look at him: "Where are we going?" ”

"Where to go......

Song You didn't take out "Jisheng of the Land" this time, there are not many records of Yunzhou on "Jisheng of the Land", and most of the records are the road they just walked, just raised his head and looked at the lake behind him and several directions: "I have been in Xianning for so long, and I haven't crossed the lake yet, so I will walk along the lake first." ”

"Around the lake!"

Cats weren't surprised.

Taoist priests have always been like this, in addition to liking mountains, but also like to go around the lake, if you encounter a beautiful lake, you must walk around slowly.

It's like being at the foot of Genting Mountain.

"It's good to go around the lake, when you go around the lake, stop every day and give you fishing and food."

"Sanhua Niangniang is hard."

"It's not hard! Fun! The cat paused, and then asked him, "And then?" ”

"Let's go west first, I heard that the scenery of this road to the west is very good, and then turn back to the south."

"Go west!"

"Think as you go."

"Okay!"

The cat didn't say anything more, although now she understands the concept of direction and geography better than before, but she still doesn't seem to care much about where to go and where to go.

Only the tail is wagging and wagging around.

The Taoist did not move, but sat and blew the wind.

When you have enough rest, you will set off again.

Walking west from the city, not far away, you can see three ancient towers at the foot of the mountain.

That is the famous Three Pagoda Temple.

Originally, the Yunzhou Plateau had entrenched in a not small country, the monarch even once called himself "the emperor", Xian Ning was the national capital, and later Buddhism came from the west, and was respected by the emperor, and even many emperors would become monks in their later years, and several of them were monks in the Three Pagoda Temple, which shows that this temple is not simple.

Now there is naturally no emperor, and the Three Pagoda Temple seems to have lost its former glory.

It's just that time leaves its mark.

It's a shame not to come and see.

Song You took cats and horses to visit the temple.

The temple pilgrims gather, and the incense is thriving.

It's just that the Taoist just arrived at the door, and he thought that it would be the same process as an ordinary visit to the palace temple, but he didn't expect that there were already monks waiting for him here.

The first middle-aged monk, forty or fifty years old, with a thin figure, was followed by several monks who were also a few years younger, and some younger monks and novices looked curiously behind.

"Amitabha, the poor monk has nothing to do, and when the distinguished guest arrives, he will miss the welcome."

The leading monk looked at Song You, then at the jujube red horse behind him, and at the three-flowered cat with small steps and looking around.

In particular, I took a look at the three-flowered cat.

"It turned out to be Master Wuwei, surnamed Song Mingyou, a Taoist from Yizhou, and he was polite."

Song marched and saluted.

Sanhua Niangniang plays the image of an ordinary cat, who can't understand human speech and can't salute, so she just looks around by herself, takes small steps, and stops at the feet of the Taoist.

"Long admiration."

The monks saluted: "Distinguished guests, please come in." ”

"Long admiration."

Song You also returned the salute, and then walked in: "Why did the mage know that we would come?" ”

"I don't know, there is a treasure in this temple, called the mirror platform, although the spirit is not good, but there is the ability to spy on the past and know the future." Master Wuwei took him inside, "Last night, a disciple was chanting scriptures and learning the Dharma in front of the Jingtai Palace, and suddenly saw the mirror platform glowing, and called the poor monk to investigate, the poor monk didn't know why, that night, he had a dream, but he didn't dream anything, but after waking up, he knew that there might be a distinguished guest to visit today." ”

"It's a miraculous treasure."

"I heard that it was an ordinary stone platform, but many years ago, when the temple was prosperous, there were many monks with exquisite Buddhism, and under the blessing of the monks from generation to generation, it was naturally extraordinary. If you are interested, you can also take you to see it later. ”

"That's even better."

Song You has always been happy to see new things.

This is one of the meanings of travel.

"But why did the mage know that the guest in the dream was us?" Song You looked at Master Wuwei and the many monks curiously.

The three-flowered cat was equally curious and looked up at them.

The cat's eyes are bright and smart.

"The temple has been in decline for a long time, the poor monks are not enough to cultivate, and they don't have much ability, but occasionally they go to the city of fibrous condensation, either to make an appointment to do things for others, or to get rid of evil spirits for people, plus there are often pilgrims who come to the temple from the fianding, so I often hear about the condensation." Master Wuwei said, "I heard that there is a Taoist in the city, it seems to be the old man of the little Chai Niang, the wonderful thing is that there is a Taoist in the story of Xiao Chai Niang, the Taoist brought a cat, and the Zunjia also brought a cat, from which the poor monk inferred that the Zunjia is most likely a master of the Great Dao Practice." ”

"I can't talk about overhaul."

The Taoist bowed his head sincerely and said truthfully.

For example, the Taoist monks who have the true Tao and the true cultivation of the Eight Classics say that the "Tao Xing" is not the same as the "cultivation", the Tao mostly refers to the spiritual law you practice, how high the mana is, and the cultivation refers to your attainments in the Tao and Buddhism, as well as your state of mind and thoughts.

If there is a road, there is not necessarily a major repair.

If there is a major repair, there is not necessarily a road.

Those who are advanced in Taoism are awe-inspiring, and those who cultivate to be advanced will be more respected by those who are upright and kind-hearted from the heart.

"You don't have to be humble."

Master Wuwei smiled slightly and continued: "However, there is another reason why the poor monk confirmed that Venerable Driver really has a great way to cultivate. ”

"I want to hear about it."

"It's the one next to you."

Master Wuwei lowered his head, looked at the three-flowered cat who was following the Taoist's feet and played a mortal cat seriously, bowed respectfully, and said: "The poor monk once heard from a pilgrim that once someone met the headless monk in the wasteland by the lake and the golden stone giant fighting, and the battle was unsuccessful. ’。 Later, the poor monk personally took people to the lake and walked a few times, and finally met the 'mountain god demon monk' that had been rumored in the city for nearly two months, and the poor monk did not dare to approach, only saw from a distance that there was a cat on the giant's body. ”

"Meow?"

"Thank you for subduing demons and eliminating demons, not only for the people of Xian Ning in addition to a major disaster, but also for my Three Pagoda Temple to clean up the portal, so that we will not be ashamed to go to the future generations."

“……”

Sanhua Cat's expression froze, his eyes flickered, and he felt that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he finally stood up at the feet of the Taoist and learned to salute the Taoist:

"You're polite."

He said the same thing as a Taoist.

The voice was soft and thin, which surprised many monks.
