The mountains and forests are difficult to walk, and Song You is still weak, so he can only walk slowly with a bamboo cane.

Dongyang pointed him in a rough direction to get out of this mountain and sent him out of the way, but because he hadn't gone out since he came in, he wasn't very sure.

It's about three miles away from where Song You meditated and rested last night.

Song You passed by there again.

After walking out of a few miles, a mountain monster appeared and brought him wild fruits and clear water, and sent him a little more respectfully.

On the way, the mountain monster told him that he was a spirit naturally raised in this mountain forest, and this was his territory, so there were no other fierce beasts and monsters to disturb him.

Many years ago, the cat came here, and he saw that the cat was very smart and beautiful, and he couldn't bear to hurt it, and he had been in the mountains together for a long time, and he probably became friends of any kind. Many years later, the cat brought the man named Dongyang from outside, and when he saw that his heart was simple and kind, he didn't care that there was another person on his territory, and he was secretly protecting them.

Two days ago, the vision of heaven and earth, the gods and men were fighting, he was afraid of the magic of the gods and men in the sky, and worshiped the Taoism of the Taoists, but he admired the behavior of the Taoists to protect the mountains and rivers of this land, so he came to send him off.

At the time of parting, the mountain monster once again showed him the way.

Out of this area, there are jackals, tigers and leopards, as well as other goblins and ghosts.

It is rare for people to come in the mountains, whether it is birds and beasts or goblins and ghosts are vigilant, most of them are vigilant and curious, occasionally tigers and wolves block the way, Taoists only ask them to get out of the way, occasionally goblins visit, but there are few stupid enough to be rude to Taoists.

If there are really stupid and evil goblins and ghosts, and they see that the Taoist is weak and has bad intentions, the Taoist is not afraid, and he doesn't even need to make a move, just let go of the bamboo cane in his hand and ask it to kill them.

As he walked, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

This time, the footsteps were very soft.

The Taoist stopped, and looked back with his cane.

A woman walked out from behind the tree, her white clothes stained with blood, but her expression was calm, so the blood stains on her clothes also became Qingxue Aomei, followed by a sick maid.

The maid was carrying a three-flowered cat in her hand.

The cat wears a small wooden pendant around its neck.

Sanhua Niangniang was originally honest, her eyes and ears were naturally drooping, her hands and feet were naturally drooping, and she only raised her tail to block her privacy, looking well-behaved and well-behaved, but after seeing the Taoist, her two front paws immediately began to play with it, and the two hind feet also began to kick the air, and the whole cat writhed restlessly.

But she did not speak, did not speak, but turned her head, opened her mouth and bit the maid's hand.

The maid was also very weak and let go of her hand.

"Snap ......"

The cat landed firmly on the ground and ran towards the Taoist.

She didn't slow down until she ran in front of the Taoist, but instead of sitting down on the spot as usual, she looked up at him, circled around him, glanced at him from time to time, and had some sadness between her eyebrows.

"Plop Plop ......"

A swallow also flew from the sky and landed on a branch.

The Taoist looked down at the cat in a circle, and then at the swallow on the branch above his head, and then withdrew his gaze and looked at the woman in front of him.

The woman looked around indifferently and also looked at him.

"Daoist, you're injured."

The fox told the result of what the cat was searching.

"It's the same with the feet."

The Taoist respectfully saluted.

"Much better than you." The woman paused, "Your cat and swallow have brought you back." ”

"Thank you."

"The Western Yuan Sage and the Northern Dou Sheng have fallen, and the two Buddhas from the Western Heaven have not survived, leaving only a bunch of relics, and I asked His Excellency the Mountain God to take them back and bury them in the mountains. His Excellency the Mountain God was the most seriously wounded, and when I left, he was already in retreat and sleeping. However, the mountain he borrowed from Hezhou brought him a lot of incense, and it should not take many years for him to recover as before. Everyone else left after the fight. The woman said, "You don't have to go back there, and even if you have to go back and say thank you, you won't find anyone." ”

"I'll have to visit again in the future."

"What is the future?" The woman seemed to be in a pleading tone.

"I went back to the Taoist temple, and after many years, let's see when I have to be free." The Taoist said truthfully, "I must visit them one by one and thank you for them." ”

"What happened to the Taoist after that?"

The woman's voice was calm and soft, and it was difficult to tell whether it was gentle or weak, and the maid behind her, who was listless, stood behind her silently.

"Thanks to your help, the four saints of the four directions have fallen, and among the gods of the Heavenly Palace, whether virtuous or unvirtuous, there is no longer any power that can hinder them." Song You said, "However, I still have to go to the Heavenly Palace to ask the current Emperor to abdicate, and after that, whether the people re-elect and shape a virtuous Emperor, or the throne is vacant, it will be a matter of the future." ”

"How does the Dao Master ascend to the Heavenly Palace?"

"I'm looking for a way to the sky."

"When the Dao Leader reorganized the Ascending Heaven Road, he really left a lot of back hands." The woman smiled indifferently.

"What's the next step?"

Song You asked with the same sincere concern.

"We originally went to Anqing, and I heard that Anqing is picturesque, and there is an old Yanxian and a holy place where Jianghu people hold a conference, so we want to go and see it." The woman stood opposite him, "Now that the matter of the Taoist has been concluded, it is naturally not good for us to continue to delay, we should continue to go to Anqing to enjoy the landscape." ”

"I heard that there is a temple of the Taoist in Anqing." The maid behind him added weakly.

"Thank you so much for this time." Song You saluted them very solemnly, "I don't know how to repay such a great favor?" ”

“……”

The woman was silent for a moment, looked at him, as if she was thinking, her eyes were not taboo, and only after a moment did she speak: "When I was in Changjing before, I once ate a chicken from the Taoist chief, and the method was very peculiar. In the three years since we left Fengzhou, the braised chicken we ate in other big cities couldn't catch up with the taste of that year. ”

Although the maid behind her was weak, thinking of the taste of braised chicken, she couldn't help but smack:

"It would be nice if I could eat it again......"

"This smell is the head that is brought down." The Taoist lowered his head and said, "It's not a secret, I'm good at cooking, and I will have a few good dishes, if the two of you come to Yinyang Mountain after next autumn, you will definitely be entertained." ”

“……”

The woman did not speak.

"There are other good dishes for such delicious chicken, if only I could eat them often......" the maid said weakly, her tone completely devoid of her previous playfulness, and only seemed to be a bully.

"It's not a secret, the Yin and Yang Mountain where Fulongguan is located is a group of mountains, there are several mountains, although the scenery is not beautiful, but it is also beautiful and comfortable. If you like it, you can find one, build a few bamboo huts, build a few pavilions and palaces, follow the two of your wishes. Song You said, "You can be neighbors with us for a while." ”

"The world is changing so fast, and many new things in Changjing City ten years ago were not seen at all in the previous dynasty, and no one knew what the later dynasty looked like. It would be too boring if there was only one person to see such a strange world. The woman spoke, her eyes not hidden, but her words were very subtle.

"The two of them have a longer life than they are under it......"

"So what?"

"I'll get older faster than the two of you."

"Why should the Taoist be worried?" The woman said calmly, "There are often people who accompany cats and dogs for a lifetime, cats and dogs are shorter than life, but if you are sincere, have you ever heard that someone dislikes cats and dogs for being old?" We are just foxes in the mountains, not people, although we have become human, but the old age of people is only the departure of old friends. ”

“……”

Song You stopped talking, just saluted.

"We will not delay the major events of the Taoist, and the mountains and rivers of Anqing are also waiting for us." The woman returned the salute with him.

"It just so happens that we have used up the severed tail of the Fox Ancestor, and after taking the elixir, we must also find a quiet place and cultivate to great power, so that we can leave a new severed tail for future generations in the future." The maid bowed weakly and respectfully, "I'll come back to visit the Taoist chief after next autumn." ”

"Walk slowly."

Both sides were a little strangely polite.

"Hoo ......"

A gust of mountain wind blew, and the two figures disappeared.

The Taoist retracted his etiquette and retracted his gaze, and then he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

As soon as he lowered his head slightly, his cat squatted in front of his right, looking at the position between him and the woman, and turned his head into the distance, his head kept swinging, looking for the woman's trace everywhere, until he was sure that she was completely gone, then he withdrew his gaze and looked at the Taoist again.

It seems that during the conversation just now, she was sitting here, one left and one right, turning her head to stare at the two of them, and whoever spoke looked at whomever spoke.

"Sanhua Niangniang, is the situation in Nanhua City good?"

"The situation in the city is very good! There are no goblins and goblins at all! The cat was suddenly diverted by him and stared at him seriously, "You just tricked Sanhua Niangniang into staying in the city!" ”

"Why did Sanhua Niangniang say this?" Song You didn't agree, shook his head and said, "I am a master of Fulongguan and many Taoists, and I am not the ancestor of Tiansuan, so I don't know anything about deducing divination, how can I know that those goblins and ghosts will not cause chaos in the city?" ”

"This ......"

"Just in case."

"yes......"

The cat's eyes gradually returned to normal, nodded and said, and then cheered up again: "There are no goblins and ghosts making trouble!" ”

"That's for the best."

"The best!" The cat paused, then turned his head back and looked at the empty mountain forest, "We're going to be neighbors with the fox and the fox's tail in the future?" ”

"Sort of."

"Be a neighbor for many years?"

"Sort of."

"You'll ......"

"I'm a little weak down there, so I have to find a place to recuperate for some days." The Taoist said to her.

"That's right!"

The cat's expression became solemn.

It's not easy.
