The hill is quite steep and green, and there is a long stone staircase at the bottom of the hill, which leads to the gate.

The whole mountain is the whole Taoist temple, the whole Taoist temple is also the whole mountain, the Taoist temple is built upwards with the slope of the hill, every courtyard is a little higher, the top is the most core palace, standing in the distance can be the whole Taoist temple several into the courtyard are in the eyes, do not pay attention to subtlety, but pay attention to the bearing, can be matched with the green trees in the view to cover, there is also a sense of elegance.

At this time, it came early, and pilgrims were coming up the mountain.

Song You took the horse and followed the pilgrims up.

There is a plaque at the door, which reads "Floating Cloud View".

On both sides are the familiar door couplets:

The heart is like a floating cloud, always at ease;

It means flowing water to the west and the east.

Song You looked up at the door, followed the pilgrims, raised his legs and stepped in, and stayed outside the door with another step, leaned over to look at the Taoist priests in the view, and knocked on the mountain door with his hand.

This is the outermost courtyard and the largest courtyard, and there are only two young Taoist priests who sweep the floor here. There is a huge ancient tree in the middle of the yard, the branches are luxuriant, the vitality is infinite, the branches and leaves are all green in the middle of summer, it is gratifying to look at, casting a large shadow on the ground, and also leaving countless dazzling light spots, the taste of midsummer is only in this light and shadow to taste a complete.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

When the young Taoist priest heard the knock on the door, he immediately stopped his broom and turned his head in confusion.

Seeing that it was a famous Taoist, the puzzled look on the little Taoist's face became more visible to the naked eye, but he also put down the broom and came over to salute:

"The Taoist is merciful."

"Fellow Daoists are merciful."

Song You retreated to the door and returned the salute with a smile.

The little Taoist frowned slightly, seeing that Song You's face was not a year or two older than him, he called him Daoist out of respect, and he had already called him in front, but he didn't reply to himself with the same etiquette, but he didn't feel unhappy, but his impression in his heart couldn't help but be lower, and he still asked: "Daoist is a little faceless, who are you looking for?" ”

"Under the surname Song Mingyou, from Yizhou, I don't know if Brother Beishan can be in the view?"

"Spectator?"

When the little Taoist priest heard him call the master of the Taoist brother, he was stunned again, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, not knowing where he came from, so he said: "Recently, the world is not very peaceful, and the master often goes out to get rid of demons...... Do you know my home? ”

"Visited many years ago."

"Years ago? Dare to ask the name of the long way? Who did you learn from? It's good to go in and report to other uncles and uncles. ”

"There is no road number in the next place, only the surname Song Mingyou, eleven years ago to visit here, when the Taoist friends went in to report, only said Song You." Song Youxing saluted and said, "If it was the uncle and uncle of Daoyou, maybe we had dinner with them." ”

"No road number?"

The little Taoist priest was even more puzzled.

The mouth is in the bottom, not to say the poor way, wearing a Taoist robe, no Taoist name, young face, and saying that he came here eleven years ago, and had eaten at the same table with his uncle and uncle, which is really strange.

Fortunately, the cultivation inheritance of Fuyun Temple is also one of the best in the world, the little Taoist only looked at Song You a few more times, did not say anything, and another little Taoist priest who happened to sweep the floor also came over, so he asked another little Taoist priest to go inside to pass the ceremony, and he stayed to entertain Song You.

"Dao is a guest for a long time, please come in."

"Thank you."

Only then did the Taoist step into the Taoist temple.

There was a three-colored shadow behind her, and she jumped over the threshold higher than her and fell into the courtyard, and the little Taoist priest saw that it was a three-flowered cat.

The jujube red horse also followed him and entered the Taoist temple.

"Won't this horse run around, Dao Chief?"

"No, don't worry."

"That's fine, I'm afraid of scaring the pilgrims."

"It's honest."

Song You said this, looking up and looking forward.

The Taoist temple is paved with bluestone slabs, very smooth, swept clean by two small Taoist priests, it is the middle of summer, and it is not to the time when the ancient trees have fallen leaves, and the ground itself is not dirty.

In the eyes of the Taoists, it is this ancient tree.

At this time, the ancient tree can be described as full of vitality, infinite greenery, there are not many bird nests on it, chirping, calling non-stop, where is the shadow of the dead tree in the past?

"This ancient tree is the tree of the town view of my view, it was planted by the first patriarch when the Taoist temple was first built, and the Taoist chief heard it last time?"

"I haven't heard of it."

"Speaking of which, this tree had a catastrophe a few years ago." The little Taoist said to him with a smile, shaking his head, as if retelling the story told by the teacher, "Many years ago, somehow, it may be old, this tree died inexplicably, I feel distressed from top to bottom, it just so happened that at this time there was a Taoist master from outside, the Tao is through the sky, the magic is clever, it should be to save the dead tree......"

The little Taoist priest looked at the Taoist as he spoke, and his expression was radiant.

only to find that the Taoist was also looking at him, smiling all over his face.

"It is said that the Taoist master is a wandering Taoist who walks the world and only brings a horse and a ......"

The little Taoist priest was stunned halfway through speaking.

Then he looked at the Taoist and the three-flowered cat in front of him.

The Taoist smiled and looked at him.

The cat squatted at the feet of the Taoist, very well-behaved, but raised its head high and stared at him.

“……”

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, very chaotic.

The little Taoist priest turned his head to look, and saw that except for the master of the temple and a few uncles and uncles who were subduing demons and eliminating demons outside, all the Taoist masters with some status in the temple came out and looked at the Taoist master in front of him.

"Daoist Song! No see for years! ”

"Fellow Daoists, don't come unharmed."

“……”

The Taoist elders looked at him, and their faces were full of emotion: "More than ten years have passed, and most of us have become more and more vicissitudes, but Song Daochang's face has not changed." ”

"It's just that it hasn't changed for the time being, and when I'm getting old, it's only a matter of a few years."

"Master took the two junior disciples out to subdue demons and eliminate demons, Jingzhou Prefecture is noisy with zombies, and it is estimated that it will take a few days to come back." One of the Taoist masters standing at the front said, "Then I ask Daoist Song to stay in this temple for a few days for the time being, just like his own Taoist temple." ”

"It's fine."

"How long has the Daoist been waiting outside? Have you been neglected? ”

"I just arrived, this little Taoist friend was very polite, took me to the courtyard to shade the sun and enjoy the trees, and after a while, all the Taoist friends came out."

“……”

Song You stayed in the Floating Cloud Temple.

The fame of the floating cloud view in the field is not comparable to the real mountain, but it is more famous than the real mountain in the local area, now the world has changed, to the floating cloud view to burn incense and worship God, please amulet to keep safe, meet the demons to ask for the help of the Taoist in the view are a lot of people, occasionally there are also the Taoist leaders on the real mountain to come, to the floating cloud temple has the ancient true Taoist to ask for spells and demon exorcism methods, so the day is very lively.

But at night, it's quiet.

Song You waited here for half a month, and finally waited for the people of Beishan Dao to come back.

As soon as the people of Beishan Dao came back, they heard that Song You had arrived, and immediately came to his room to look for him.

"Song Daoyou! Are you okay? ”

The appearance of the people of Beishan Dao has not changed very much from that year, and it is far less than the traces left by the eleven years on ordinary people.

"Brother Dao, it's polite."

"When I said goodbye, it was the prosperity of the world, but I didn't expect to see you again now, the world has changed dramatically. I still remember that in the main hall, you and I talked about the Chinese division of the dynasty and the underworld, but now the national teacher has died, and the ghost city of Fengzhou has also been achieved, which is really a vicissitudes of life. ”

"Brother Dao said this, it's true."

"When I met Daoyou, Daoyou just came down the mountain and walked the land of Sizhou, and now when I come again, I have already walked the whole territory of Dayan, right?"

"I've walked around."

"After the clouds parted, the water flowed for ten years."

"It's been more than eleven years."

"Eleven Years ......"

Beishan Daoist shook his head, his face was full of sighs and sighs, and his heart was declining before he was old: "If there are legends of Taoist friends everywhere today, even if the poor Dao shrinks in this Jingzhou, it is like thunder." ”

"It's mostly a false name, and it's hard to survive forever."

"Daoyou is really open-minded."

"Passing the prize."

"It's ...... Three Flower Niang? ”

The people of Beishan Dao looked down at the cat, and after thinking about it, they remembered the name of the cat.

"Meow!"

The cat looked up at him.

I vaguely remember that when I first saw her, I met this person first, and this person also regarded her as a mountain monster who did evil, and embarrassed her by staying in the wind.

Naturally, it was many years ago.

"The ...... on the roof"

Beishan Daoyou raised his head again, even if he was separated by a layer of tiles, he could find the swallow above his head, and he could find the unusual appearance of the swallow: "This swallow Taoist friend is exquisite, there is no yin and evil spirit, and there is some faint immortal incense on his body, could it be the descendant of An Qing Yanxian?" ”

"Brother Dao is very capable and knowledgeable."

"Haha! Anqing's Yan Immortal is terrible now! ”

Beishan Daoren's eyes narrowed, still as before, with extraordinary knowledge, and then looked at Song You again: "That old Yanxian has been in Anqing for many years, seeking incense and fire Shendao but can't, and now once he becomes a god, he has such a prosperous incense in the world, and Poor Dao was still puzzled before, but now it seems that there is a Taoist friend as a staff officer." ”

"It only played a negligible role."

"Daoyou's insignificance, for Lao Yanxian, it's like another life!"

The two chatted in the room for a while, feeling that the room was cramped, and went to the courtyard outside for a long talk, enjoying the dusk breeze, the bright moon and the shadow of the trees, talking about the ghost city of Fengzhou, the immortality of the national teacher, talking about the underworld, and also talking about the gods of the heavenly palace that are becoming more and more corrupt and bound to the world, talking about the great demon in the north, Zhou Leigong, who was promoted to the chief official and the incense is becoming more and more prosperous, chatting about the big things, and the young emperor who is difficult to convince the public and listens to and believes.

The people of Beishan Dao live in a remote place, but they are also chic, they do not interfere in the affairs of the world, they are not bound by the imperial court, they do not seek incense and fire Shinto, they only talk about freedom before death, and they don't need to care about what the Heavenly Palace thinks.

It's very comfortable to make small talk with him.

Late at night, it was another night feast.

It is still a separate meal system, there are still baked moss, it tastes like seaweed slices, there are whole lotus flowers, lotus seeds are pulled out as snacks to eat, there are finger-sized raw and tender lotus roots, tender and crisp and sweet, there are fried and fried lotus leaves wrapped in flour, it seems to be something often eaten in the floating cloud view.

still prepared a fish for Sanhua Niangniang.

It's just that the Sanhua Niangniang almost only ate fish, or ate mutton and bacon, and didn't touch other vegetarian foods at all, but now they taste a little bit one by one, and when they encounter a peculiar taste, they have to eat two more bites, and when they meet those they like, they are like normal children, and they don't stop eating.

She likes lotus seeds, chewing them so loudly.

When the banquet was over, many Taoist leaders got up and left, and most of the food on the table was removed, only wine and lotus canopy remained, and the moonlight sprinkled in, and Song You got straight to the point to the people of Beishan Dao-

"I can't hide it, this time I came, I asked for something."

"What?"

"I want to ask Brother Dao for something."

"One thing?"

In the candlelight and moonlight, the Beishan Daoist on the main seat leaned towards him, his face was full of wine, more wrinkles than back then, and said with a slight smile: "Let me guess, Daoist friends want to take the Four Seasons Spring, right?" ”

"Brother Dao is like a god."

"Let me guess again, it can't be related to the underworld, right?"

"How did Brother Dao know?"

"Daoist friends have vast magical powers, and Taoism is profound, what is there in my Taoist temple that is worth thinking about and specially coming to?" Beishan Daoist raised his head to drink, the wine went down his neck, and after drinking a big sip, he lowered his head and said to Song You, "More than ten years ago, someone came to my view to spy on the Four Seasons Spring, and the poor Dao guessed that it was the handwriting of the national teacher. Pity the eldest son, who is good at strategic calculation, but he is limited to talent and spells, so he is naturally known by the poor Dao. ”

Beishan Daoren paused as he spoke: "Now that I think about it, the national teacher who sought to obtain the Four Seasons Spring back then should have been for the ghost city of Fengzhou or the underworld, and the national teacher should have died in the hands of Daoyou, right?" ”

"Barely so."

"Reluctantly?"

"Died of greed and obsession."

"Haha......"

Beishan Daoren nodded and continued: "It seems that Daoyou took over the matter of the national teacher, so he came here to ask for the Four Seasons Spring?" ”

"I want to condense the underworld and gather the yin ghosts, and now I have obtained the five directions and five elements of the earth, and I am only four o'clock springs." Song You said truthfully, "So I came to visit Brother Dao." ”

"Poor Dao thought that the national teacher might send someone to get the Four Seasons Spring, and also thought about what method he used to get it, and thought about how he knew that the Four Seasons Spring was here with me, and later after the death of the national teacher, Poor Dao thought that there might be other people to take the Four Seasons Spring, and that day the disciple said that he leaked his mouth, and he thought that it might be Song Daoyou, hahaha, it was really Song Daoyou."

"What does Brother Dao think?"

"Since it is an old man, it is a good thing, and there is no reason to refuse." The people of Beishan said, "It's just that the spring water at four o'clock is not easy to take." It is the treasure of heaven and earth, the treasure has always been difficult to obtain, as long as the spring water in the spring of the four seasons leaves the pool, the spirit will soon dissipate, even if the ancient power has no other way. ”

"There's a way to do it."

"Haha I'm drunk, but I forgot that Daoist friends are rare people in the world who practice the Four Seasons Spiritual Law." The Daoist of Beishan raised his head and smiled, "But even if the Taoist friends practice the Four Seasons Spiritual Law and have a successful practice, they can ensure that the spirituality of the Spring Water at the Four Seasons will not disperse after leaving the spring, how much can they take?" ”

"Just try it first."

"Okay, fellow Daoist, go get it!"

"Do you want to take it?"

"You can take as much as you want, it's up to you."

The people of Beishan Dao are a little drunk, and their words are also straightforward.
